2 years in D.C.: What Walden, Wyden and Merkley did Bend Oregon — Democratic U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and Republican U.S. Rep. Greg Walden from Hood River — were more successful at steering the political conversation than passing their own legislation. Here’s an overview of the lawmakers’ accomplishments the past two years:
By Keith Chu The Bulletin
IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON — With the end of the 111th U.S. Congress, it’s time to take stock of how Oregon lawmakers spent their past two years, what they accomplished and how they voted on the biggest bills. On the whole, the federal lawmakers who represent Central
Sen. Ron Wyden What Wyden did: Wyden got the most attention over the past two years for bills that never received a vote. He proposed a handful of health care reform proposals, including the Healthy Americans Act, the Free Choice Act and a bill to let states
waive many of the new health care law’s requirements. He proposed simplifying the U.S. tax system, limiting deductions and lowering rates. And Wyden brokered a compromise between the timber industry and some environmental groups over Oregon forests east of the Cascades. See Congress / A4

Bend City Manager Eric King said last week the city achieved most of its goals for 2010, but will still face a challenging 2011 as stagnant revenues butt up against the growing cost of providing services. Early each year, the City Council assembles a list of goals and priorities for the coming year. The 2010 list included a range of items falling under four broad categories: financial stability, economic development, growth management and priority programs. King described what progress the city made toward meeting its targets over the last 12 months, and what’s left unfinished as the new year begins.

Smart phones in prison In a remote French village, – outlawed but thriving a fallen hero retreats at last By Kim Severson and Robbie Brown New York Times News Service
ATLANTA — A counterfeiter at a Georgia state prison ticks off the remaining days of his threeyear sentence on his Facebook page. He has 91 digital “friends.” Like many of his fellow inmates, he plays the online games FarmVille and Street Wars. He does it all on a Samsung smart phone, which he says he bought from a guard. And he used the same phone to help organize a short nonviolent strike among inmates at several Geor-
gia prisons last month. Technology is changing life inside prisons across the country at the same rapid-fire pace it is changing life outside. A smart phone hidden under a mattress is the modern-day file inside a cake. “This kind of thing was bound to happen,” said Martin Horn, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction who teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “The physical boundaries that we thought protected us no longer work.” See Prison / A5

Philippe Petain is widely reviled for his role in the Vichy government. In fact, just one street in France bore his name. Now it no longer will, but not everyone is happy.
Illicit diamonds enrich Mugabe with another vote on horizon
By John Tagliabue New York Times News Service
TREMBLOIS-LES-CARIGNAN, France — The municipal council here on the edge of the Ardennes Forest recently voted to change a third of the village’s street names. Tremblois has only three streets, and they are named for three French heroes of World War I: Marshals Ferdinand Foch, Joseph Joffre and Philippe Petain. The problem is that Petain had a second act as head of state during World War II, when his administration in the unoccupied part of the country that was known as Vichy France collaborated with Nazi Germany in eliminating its enemies, notably the Jews. So under pressure from the national government, veterans and Jewish groups, the council voted unanimously to drop the name Petain from a little street about 600 feet long, renaming it Rue de la Belle-Croix, for a chapel at its foot. After World War I, virtually every town in France had its Rue or Avenue Petain. So vast was his fame that a dozen or so towns and cities in the United States also named streets for him. But when the signs here change this month, the last street in France bearing his name will be gone. Not everyone is happy with the decision. See Street / A4
The city started 2010 looking for a way to address what King calls “structural problems” in the budget: expenses that are projected to grow markedly faster than the city’s revenues. Although King said he had hoped the city would be further along in addressing the issue by the end of 2010, a cost-containment plan that could cut $15 million from the general fund over six years has been proposed by the city’s public safety committee. The plan includes some cuts to personnel and employee benefits, refinancing of outstanding debts, and the creation of a street utility fee to fund street maintenance. The City Council rejected a proposal for a street utility fee two years ago, King said, but will be considering the latest version of the plan soon. If it is approved, street maintenance would no longer consume a share of the general fund, freeing up a portion of that money for public safety purposes. See Bend / A4

Jean-Pol Oury, the mayor of Tremblois-LesCarignan, stands in front of the town’s World War I memorial. Oury received hate mail and threats as the mayor of the last town in France with a street named for Philippe Petain. World War I, the conflict where Petain earned widespread fame, left deep scars on the town.
VILA DE MANICA, Mozambique — Enos Chikwere spills nine uncut diamonds from a bag at Restaurante Piscina in Mozambique near the Zimbabwe border and says they’re worth $75,000. “I can supply all the diamonds you need,” said Chikwere, explaining that he sneaked them into Mozambique after buying them from Zimbabwean soldiers. Chikwere and hundreds of other border smugglers are part of a chain whose money flows back into Zimbabwe, whose president for three decades, Robert Mugabe, has ruled over four violent and disputed elections since 2000. Mugabe’s policies of land seizure helped cause the economy, once the second-biggest in southern Africa, to shrink by 50 percent in eight years. See Diamonds / A5

Rise of the iKids: Schools test iPads in classrooms By Bruce Newman San Jose Mercury News
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Before, during and even between classes at Hillbrook School this fall, seventh-graders have been spotted on the Los Gatos, Calif., campus, sometimes burbling Spanish or Mandarin phrases into the glowing screen in their hands, other times staring into it like a looking glass. iPads — the Apple of almost every adolescent’s eye — are being provided to students at several Bay Area public and private schools this year, including Hillbrook, which claims to be the only K-8 school in America using tab- Teacher Christina Pak, left, helps Chase Kerley use his iPad durlet computers in class and sending ing a history class at Hillbrook School.

the kids should be trusted to take their iPads home. “If we just stop it at school, how is that helping them?” Mitty administrators weren’t ready to make that leap, although the school may loosen its policy next year. “The interface is very open and collaborative, and I think it fosters a lot of independent inquiry and research,” said Lisa Brunolli, an assistant principal in charge of the school’s test program. “But it quickly became frustrating that students couldn’t take them home and use them for homework.” Rocketship’s schools don’t use computers of any kind in the classroom, believing them to be a distraction from “the social learning experience,” according to McGarry. But they do promote online literacy with computer labs, and are conducting research of their own on whether computers are a help or a hindrance to learning. “We think they’re helping,” McGarry says. Books for the current school year had already been purchased when iPads were added to backpacks at schools where tablets are being tried out. Educators cling to the hope that they will be able to buy selected chapters of textbooks for use on the tablets, the way music fans pick individual songs on iTunes. That would suit Sophie just fine. “In sixth grade, my backpack was 27 pounds,” she said. “Ohhhh, my back! It was so sore. This would definitely lighten it. And it would be way more eco-friendly.” Spoken like a true iKid.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Facebook is the latest hot spot for swindlers in search of new victims. And the world’s most popular social-networking website can be a gold mine for such crooks, experts say. Scams on social-media sites are much the same as the ones you may have received as e-mail, said Kevin Johnson, a consultant for Secure Ideas, which does security research. “The big difference in the (social-networking) scams is the level of trust that the users have,” he said. “People trust them more than they trust e-mail.” Over time, we’ve become leery of unusual e-mails with strange links, but many people’s ingrained suspicions of e-mail scams have not carried over to Facebook. The social network tries to keep track but isn’t responsible for everything on its site. Cybercriminals on Facebook today come cloaked as real friends sending messages asking you to wire them money in a foreign country or posting a note on your wall with a funny video that’s really a dangerous link. The scammers are smart, sneaky and hoping you fall for their tricks. They do it for various reasons, including stealing your identity or using your personal data to sell to marketers or simply spread malicious software that can destroy your computer. They lure victims many ways, such as offering fake gift cards or a chance to win gadgets simply by clicking on a link or that oh-so-common Facebook “Like” button. But to win, the con artists say, you have to answer some questions and provide a cell phone or credit card number. “People automatically trust that, if it’s on Facebook, then it’s probably secure and vetted by Facebook in some way,” said Tom Eston, a senior consultant for SecureState, a security-management consulting firm. But even Facebook admits that keeping its customers safe is difficult. “Facebook faces a security challenge that few, if any, other companies or even governments have faced — protecting more than 500 million people on a service that is under constant attack,” company spokesman Simon Axten said. “The fact that less than 1 percent of Facebook users have ever encountered a security issue on the site is a significant achievement of which we are very proud.”

T S The hidden hand of diplomats in global jet deals
Party leaves Pakistan coalition, threatening government
By Eric Lipton
The Washington Post
New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — The king of Saudi Arabia wanted the United States to outfit his personal jet with the same high-tech devices as Air Force One. The president of Turkey wanted the Obama administration to let a Turkish astronaut sit in on a NASA space flight. And in Bangladesh, the prime minister pressed the State Department to re-establish landing rights at Kennedy International Airport in New York. Each of these government leaders had one thing in common: They were trying to decide whether to buy billions of dollars’ worth of commercial jets from Boeing or its European competitor, Airbus. And U.S. diplomats were acting like marketing agents, offering deals to heads of state and airline executives whose decisions could be influenced by price, performance and, as with all finicky customers with plenty to spend, perks. This is the high-stakes, international bazaar for commercial jets, where tens of billions of dollars are on the line, along with hundreds of thousands of jobs. At its heart, it is a wrestling match fought daily by executives at two giant companies, Boeing and Airbus, in which each controls about half of the market for such planes. To a greater degree than previously known, diplomats are a big part of the sales force, according to hundreds of cables released by WikiLeaks, which describe politicking and cajoling at the highest levels. State Department and Boeing officials, in interviews last month, acknowledged the important role the U.S. government plays in helping them sell commercial airplanes, despite a trade agreement signed by the United States and European leaders three decades ago intended to remove politics from the process. Boeing earns about 70 percent of its commercial plane sales from foreign buyers, and is the single biggest exporter of manufactured goods in the United States. The cables make clear that both Boeing and the government set limits on their efforts, turning away requests in Turkey and Tanzania to hire “agents” who charge steep commissions — or bribes — to gain access to top government or airline officials who would decide which plane to buy. “‘Agents’ and steep ‘commissions’ have been at the heart of several corruption scandals here,” says a 2007 State Department cable recounting a demand that Boeing hire a mysterious hotel executive in Tanzania to serve as a “go between” with
WikiLeaks threat prompts Bank of America action By the time the conference call ended, it was nearly midnight at Bank of America’s headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., but the bank’s counterespionage work was only just beginning. A day earlier, on Nov. 29, the director of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, had said in an interview that he intended to “take down” a major American bank and reveal an “ecosystem of corruption” with a cache of data from an executive’s hard drive. With Bank of America’s share price falling on the widely held suspicion that the hard drive was theirs, the executives on the call decided to take action. Since then, a team of 15 to 20 top Bank of America officials has been overseeing a broad internal investigation — scouring thousands of documents in the event that they become public, reviewing every case where a computer has gone missing and hunting for any sign that its systems might have been compromised. Whether Assange is bluffing, or has Bank of America in his sights at all, the bank’s defense strategy represents the latest twist in the controversy over WikiLeaks and Assange. The U.S. government has been examining whether Assange, an Australian, could be charged criminally for the release by WikiLeaks of hundreds of thousands of classified Pentagon and State Department diplomatic cables that became the subject of articles in The New York Times and other publications last month. Bank of America’s internal review has turned up no evidence that would substantiate Assange’s claim that he has a hard drive, according to interviews with executives there. The company declined to otherwise comment on the case. A WikiLeaks representative also declined to comment. — New York Times News Service
government officials. Payments like that, the cable said, typically were bribes that “ended up in Swiss bank accounts.”
No new coal plants begun in U.S. in ’10 By Steven Mufson The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The headline news for the coal industry in 2010 was what didn’t happen: Construction did not begin on a single new coal-fired power plant in the United States for the second straight year. This in a nation where a fleet of coal-fired plants generates nearly half the electricity used. But a combination of low natural gas prices, shale gas discoveries, the economic slowdown and litigation by environmental groups has stopped — at least for now — breaking ground on new ones. “Coal is a dead man walkin’,” says Kevin Parker, head of asset management and a member of the executive committee at Deutsche Bank. “Banks won’t finance them. Insurance companies won’t insure them. The EPA is coming after them. ... And the economics to make it clean don’t work.” From 2000 to 2008, construction started on 20 units in 19 plants, according to Edison Electric Insti-
tute. Last year, utilities and powergenerating companies dropped plans to build 38 coal plants while announcing that they would retire 48 aging, inefficient ones, according to the environmental group Sierra Club. Although 2010 saw the collapse of climate legislation in the Senate, the Sierra Club is trumpeting such statistics as a sign that “coal is a fuel of the past.” The battle over coal plants could sharpen in 2011, as the Environmental Protection Agency deploys regulations to improve the efficiency — and lower the greenhouse gas emissions — of big power plants. As of Sunday, the EPA now requires builders of plants big enough to emit 75,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year to use the “best available control technology” in order to obtain air permits, needed before construction. Utilities, oil refiners and other industries argue that this will add prohibitive costs, and many Republican lawmakers have vowed to handcuff the EPA.

House Speaker-designate John Boehner’s Republicans will hold a 241-194 majority in the House and have promised to cut spending and roll back President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, among other initiatives.
GOP agenda’s impact may be on 2012 election By Larry Margasak The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Republican agenda for the new Congress that convenes Wednesday may have a greater impact on the 2012 elections than on the lives of Americans in the next two years. Republicans promise to cut spending, roll back President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and prevent unelected bureaucrats from expanding the government’s role in society through regulations that tell people what they must or can’t do. Getting this agenda through the House may be easier than in the Senate, given the GOP’s 241194 majority in the House. Getting the Senate to act will be a challenge. Democrats still hold
an edge there, though smaller than the one Obama had during his first two years in the White House. Even if the next two years end in gridlock, Republicans will have built a record for the next election that they hope will demonstrate to voters that they can get it right. House Republicans also pledge to hold tough investigations and hearings on the president’s programs and policies, ending the free pass that Democratic committee chairmen gave the Obama administration the past two years. Republicans insist they’ll bring key administration officials before congressional microphones and that the public can watch the webcasts. The
friendly tone of inquiry from Democratic chairmen will be replaced by Republicans demanding answers to these questions: What’s the purpose of this program? Is this the best use of the taxpayers’ money? The chief Republican investigator, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, is raring to get started, and he’s not alone. Issa, the incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has been especially critical of what he calls waste in Obama’s economic stimulus spending. “The sooner the administration figures out that the enemy is the bureaucracy and the wasteful spending, not the other party, the better off we’ll be,” he told “Fox News Sunday.”
KARACHI, Pakistan — The second-largest party in Pakistan’s ruling coalition said Sunday that it would defect to the opposition, greatly imperiling the U.S.-allied government by leaving it without a parliamentary majority. The surprising move by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which dominates this southern metropolis, prompted President Asif Ali Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party to search for ways to salvage or refashion the coalition and prevent the collapse of its government. Even if they are successful, analysts said, the development will further enfeeble the administration, diverting attention from economic woes and its U.S.-backed fight against Taliban insurgents. The MQM’s pullout came days after the party withdrew its two cabinet ministers over what it said was poor government performance, a decision many observers deemed a theatrical step meant to wrest concessions from the coalition. But the party said Sunday that popular unrest over a recent fuel price increase made it impossible for it to remain allied to the government. “This decision has been taken in the interests of the country and its people,” said Raza Haroon, a senior MQM leader. The loss of a majority could lead Parliament to hold a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, possibly triggering early elections.
Israeli PM proposes nonstop peace talks By Matti Friedman The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister said Sunday that he’s ready to sit down with the Palestinian president for continuous one-onone talks until they reach a peace deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued his statement on Sunday in an apparent bid to breathe life into stalled Mideast peace making. Talks broke down in late September, just three weeks after they were launched at the White House, following the expiration of a limited Israeli freeze on settlement construction. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says Israel must halt all settlement construction on occupied lands claimed by the Palestinians before talks can resume. Netanyahu has refused, but says he is ready to discuss all “core” issues with Abbas. Those include setting the final borders between Israel and a future Palestine, determining the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees and resolving the competing claims to the holy city of Jerusalem. Over the weekend, Abbas said he believed a peace deal could be reached within two months if Netanyahu showed “good will.” He suggested that Netanyahu adopt the positions of his more dovish predecessor, Ehud Olmert. “We were close to an agreement,” Abbas said. “The Palestinian position is clear to the Israelis, and the Israeli position presented by Olmert is clear to us.”

Congress Continued from A1 Despite earning positive reviews from health policy wonks and glowing coverage from liberal-leaning television and Internet outlets, Wyden was unable to win support for his health reform proposals from the White House or top Senate Democrats. Portions of Wyden’s Healthy Americans Act and a few smaller-scale proposals did find their way into the health reform bill, including: a pilot program to allow more seniors to receive health care at home, waivers to let states opt out of some new regulations beginning in 2017, and a provision that increased the number of people who will be able to buy insurance through new health care exchanges. Early in 2009, Wyden helped attach six new Oregon wilderness areas, including the Badlands east of Bend and Spring Basin Wilderness bordering the John Day River, to a larger package of public lands bills. Outside of the legislative arena, Wyden, along with Merkley and Walden, successfully pressured the U.S. Defense Department and Federal Aviation Administration to drop their objections to a major wind farm in north-central Oregon. What Wyden said: • On Dec. 16, announcing that he was diagnosed with earlystage prostate cancer: “If anything is taken away from my experience, I hope it is the importance of getting routine physicals. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetimes. Early detection is critical to catching this disease when treatment is most effective.” • In early October 2009, decrying the health reform bill in a Senate Finance Committee hearing — he later voted for a slightly modified version of the bill — “I ask colleagues as we wrap this
up, where in this bill does it give consumers choice? Where in this bill does it allow the typical American family to have the kinds of choices that produce competition, that hold down health care costs? Colleagues, I can’t find it in this legislation.” How Wyden voted: • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus) — Yes • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (health care reform) — Yes • Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act (extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts) — No • Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act (allowing gays to serve openly in the military) — Yes
Sen. Jeff Merkley What Merkley did: Merkley, in his first two years in office, managed to make a handful of changes to two of the biggest bills that passed through the Senate. Perhaps most notable was the amendment to the financial regulations bill that would limit the amount of capital banks can invest in risky financial products. Co-authored with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the provision was watered down by Senate leaders, but Merkley argued the change would make the financial system as a whole safer. Merkley was an early advocate of creating a federal fund that small banks could draw from to lend to small businesses. A $30 billion fund was included in a bill that became law in September. He also attached an amendment to the health reform bill requiring employers to give nursing mothers reasonable breaks and a private area where they can breast-feed. Merkley also took the lead in securing $10 million in aid to farmers in the Klamath Ba-
C OV ER S T OR I ES sin, with assistance from Rep. Walden. The aid passed as part of a larger bill in July. What Merkley said: • In April 2010, speaking about the FAA’s decision to delay a wind farm at Shepherds Flat: “This is just a really egregious, shortsighted act by the FAA. To me, it’s like dropping a bomb on jobs in Central Oregon.” • In November 2010, about his plan to reform the Senate’s filibuster process: “There’s many, many different ways to do it, but the underlying things are shift responsibility to those who wish to keep debate open. ... Have them have a presence that is visible to the public so there’s transparency and accountability to the public.” How Merkley voted: • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus) — Yes • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (health care reform) — Yes • Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act (extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts) — No • Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act (allowing gays to serve openly in the military) — Yes
Rep. Greg Walden What Walden did: As a member of the minority party in the U.S. House, Walden was essentially locked out of contributing to most meaningful legislation, but he still managed to make a mark. Early in the Congress, Walden helped draw attention to gaps in the U.S. food safety system as the top Republican on the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. A picture of Walden, holding tainted peanut products in a jar wrapped with yellow caution tape, appeared in The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.
In 2010, Walden’s biggest impact has been as the secondranking member of the National Republican Congressional Committee, where he helped engineer a historic election victory for the GOP in the fall. After the election, Walden was picked to head the GOP transition team, which drafted new House rules and procedures for the next Congress. In his district, Walden successfully pressured Oregon and the U.S. Forest Service to repair the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest near Baker City. The road, a tourist corridor, washed out during a major rainstorm last summer. What Walden said: • On Twitter, October 2009: “Just diagnosed with likely H1N1. Ugh. Off to seclusion for awhile.” (Walden was the first member of the House to announce he had likely contracted swine flu.) • Just before the health care vote in spring 2010, correctly predicting an anti-Democratic backlash in the November election: “That’s what drives turnout, that’s what drives action.” • In November 2010, just after the election: “Words don’t matter as much as action, and I think you’ll see us keep our promises and pledges to change how the process works.” How Walden voted: • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus) — No • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (health care reform) — No • Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act (extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts) — Yes • Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act (allowing gays to serve openly in the military) — No Keith Chu can be reached at 202-662-7456 or at kchu@bendbulletin.com.

Jean Ponsart shovels snow last month on Rue Petain in Tremblois-Les-Carignan, France. The village is changing the name of the street under pressure over honoring Philippe Petain, considered a World War I hero and a World War II traitor. Ponsart, whose house bears the sole street sign, says he was not disturbed by the previous name.
Street Continued from A1 “It is ridiculous,” said Laurent Joste, 27, an auto mechanic from Belgium who has lived in the village for three years. “Clearly, he was a traitor in the Second World War; but these things happened decades ago. It’s not good to think like that.” World War I left deep scars in the village, which lies among the killing fields of 1914-18, near the Belgian border. It is a short drive from here to Verdun, where armies faced off for years in one of the war’s most calamitous battles. It is hard by the Marne River and Chemin des Dames ridge, where the slaughter of French troops in 1917 incited mutinies that only the calm but firm hands of Marshals Foch and Petain put down. Tremblois was leveled by shelling, save for a few houses and the church. A monument to the war dead — a statue of a French poilu, or doughboy, in bright colors — bears the names of 15 villagers, roughly 15 percent of the population then. By comparison, World War II left the village relatively untouched. For Jean Ponsart, who was 13 in 1945, the principal memory is of the endless column of U.S. trucks and tanks rumbling along Rue Foch, the main street, stopping now and then, out of precaution, but usually long enough to give candy to the village children.
His house bears the sole sign for Rue Petain (street signs in France are often on the sides of houses), and he says he is comfortable with it. He opposed a proposal to rename the street Rue Charles de Gaulle, for the leader of the French resistance in World War II and postwar president. “If it’s Petain or de Gaulle,” he said, “then Petain!” The commotion around Rue Petain began last year when a local journalist discovered the street and wrote several articles for his newspaper. At the time, two other towns in northern France had streets named for Marshal Petain, and his portrait hung in the hall of a third town, in the west of France. Under public pressure, the other streets were renamed, and a court ordered the portrait taken down. Tremblois remained the marshal’s last refuge. “It was scandalous,” said the journalist, Guillaume Levy. “I met the mayor. There were different reactions; the arguments were not political.” First there was the enduring image of Petain as the “conqueror of Verdun,” the man who won World War I for the French, Levy said by telephone. Then there was also the inconvenience. “I talked to the man on whose house the sign hangs,” he said. “He said how much it would cost, that the postman wouldn’t know where to bring letters. “Then,” he said, “it got all polemical.”
Partly, it was town versus country. The village mayor, JeanPol Oury, shows visitors the hate mail he got, including threats, for keeping the name Petain. Oury, 56, who runs a public relations company when not steering the affairs of Tremblois, said he did a survey among its 114 residents. “A majority said, ‘It doesn’t disturb me,’” he said. Still, Levy’s articles caught the attention of Jewish groups and organizations representing the war’s survivors and people who were deported during World War II by Petain’s Vichy government and the Germans who occupied the rest of France. Finally, Oury went before the town council’s nine members. “I explained the situation, that we were the last town with a Petain street,” he recounted. “I said two other towns had just renamed streets. I said it’s you who decide.” All nine voted to change the name. Many historians consider Petain as more of an enabler of the Nazis than an instigator of their designs, although that view was tinted by the discovery last year of papers suggesting that he took an active role in writing the Vichy government’s anti-Jewish laws. Historians have long blamed him for failing to desert the Nazis once their policies on extermination of the Jews became clear. He was sentenced to death in a postwar trial for treason, but de Gaulle commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. In 1921, de Gaulle, a great admirer of Petain,
honored him by naming his first son Philippe. A remnant in France still defends Petain. “In 1940, since the government was incapable of acting in the face of chaos, the first who came among the people and the politicians was Petain,” said Hubert Massol, president of the Association for the Defense of the Memory of Marshal Petain, which was founded right after the war by the marshal’s closest supporters. “Then all the mistakes were dumped on him.” Without Petain’s intervention, Massol said, “no one, not even the Jews, would have been spared.” In Tremblois, some are relieved to see the change, even if the name never bothered them. Marie Stutzmann, 46, moved from Alsace with her parents 40 years ago to a corner house on Rue Petain. Friends and acquaintances invariably reacted when she told them her address. “It doesn’t bother me,” she said. “But people raised their eyebrows.” Celine Grulet, 41, who works in the big Ferrero chocolate factory just across the border in Belgium, said: “I’m content that it’s being changed. Particularly with regard to the years after 1940.” For years she grated at the name. “But I said to myself, ‘What can I do?’” Mayor Oury cites President Nicolas Sarkozy. “Sarkozy often says, with regard to the Germans, ‘Don’t forget, but forgive.’ Why not Petain?”
S. Korea takes tough stance but leaves door open to talks The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s president vowed today not to let North Korea “covet even an inch of our territory.” But he also opened the door to possible peace talks, saying North Korean disarmament could lead to South Korean economic aid. Lee Myung-bak, addressing the country in a New Year’s
Bend Continued from A1 King said additional layoffs are the “quick solution” to the city’s budget challenges, but he wants to find another way by obtaining benefits concessions from city employees. Layoffs or reduced compensation are the only choices the city has left at this point, he said. “My preference is to try to maintain our work force,” King said. “We’re going to eventually degrade the quality of our service level if we continue to reduce.”
Economic development In late December, the city achieved a milestone in the development of Juniper Ridge, rezoning 256 acres of the northeast Bend property for light industrial development. It’s a partial completion of one of the city’s primary economic development goals for 2010, to be followed by the marketing of Juniper Ridge properties, which has yet to happen. King said a recent discussion with the Juniper Ridge board reinforced the idea that the city should get out of the marketing business and work to find a master developer that could market the properties for a cut of the proceeds. But the rezoning does mean the city can sell the properties as opportunities arise, King said, something it’s largely been unable to do since acquiring Juniper Ridge from Deschutes County 20 years ago. Also in 2010, the city launched two new programs to attract new business and assist existing businesses: a tenant relocation program and the Bend Opportunity Fund. Under the tenant relocation program, existing businesses moving from one location to another within the city are eligible for a 50 percent discount on planning and engineering fees associated with preparing their new site for occupancy. The Bend Opportunity Fund offers a “forgivable loan” to growing businesses looking to make capital investments, but companies that fail to create and maintain new jobs must pay the money back, King said, while those that achieve their goals can keep it.
Growth management Although the city did not meet its goal of completing the Urban Growth Boundary expansion in 2010, King said the city did make progress. For the first time since the process began in 2006, the city has a clear idea of what the state expects of it, and King said he’s hopeful the two sides will come to a solution on an
speech, said the Nov. 23 shelling of Yeonpyeong Island was a transformational event. Seoul, he said, would treat it as the United States did the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. However, he said, “if the North exhibits sincerity, we have both the will and the plan to drastically enhance economic cooperation.”
expansion agreeable to both the state and the city this year. In the spring, the city formed its infrastructure advisory committee, intended to assist the city in planning for future water, sewer and stormwater management needs. The group is helping the city develop a strategy for prioritizing and funding major infrastructure projects expected to be built in the coming years, King said, and has already played a key role in choosing a disinfection system for the city’s future water treatment plant. One disappointment in the growth management department was the lack of progress on the Central Area Plan, King said, a proposal to redevelop the area along Third Street between Greenwood Avenue and the railroad underpass. While there’s broad agreement on rezoning the area to allow for more intensive development, the city has been unable to secure funding for a study of how redevelopment would affect infrastructure in the area, King said, and the project has stalled.
Priority programs Four narrower issues not previously addressed were on the 2010 Priority Programs list: accessibility, Bend Area Transit, Mirror Pond and the Volunteer Beautification Program. Accessibility, more specifically the city’s ongoing efforts to come into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, made significant headway in 2010, King said, with new handicapped-accessible parking spaces downtown and the replacement of roughly 600 curb ramps. “This is the most progress we’ve made to date on curb ramps. There was definitely some on-theground progress that was very visible in the community,” he said. In September, the city transferred management of the Bend Area Transit system to the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, which is developing a city-tocity transit system in the region. The transfer caps Bend’s costs at $1 million per year over the next five years, King said, and a single transit system should be more cost-efficient than two systems. The city hired a consultant to explore the options for desilting Mirror Pond, and is continuing to develop its Volunteer Beautification Program, which has taken on some of the responsibility for cleaning up roundabouts and other right-of-way properties as the city has reduced its maintenance staff.

Immigrants worry as Japan discourages foreign workers By Hiroko Tabuchi New York Times News Service
KASHIWA, Japan — Maria Fransiska, a young, hardworking nurse from Indonesia, is just the kind of worker Japan would seem to need to replenish its aging work force. But Fransiska, 26, is having to fight to stay. To extend her threeyear stint at a hospital outside Tokyo, she must pass a standardized nursing exam administered in Japanese, a test so difficult that only three of the 600 nurses brought here from Indonesia and the Philippines since 2007 have passed. Despite facing an imminent labor shortage as its population ages, Japan has done little to open itself up to immigration. In fact, as Fransiska and many others have discovered, the government is doing the opposite, actively encouraging foreign workers and foreign graduates of its universities and professional schools to return home while protecting tiny interest groups — in the case of Fransiska, a local nursing association afraid that an influx of foreign nurses would lower industry salaries. Experts say increased immigration provides one obvious remedy to Japan’s two decades of lethargic economic growth. Instead of accepting young workers, however — and along with them, fresh ideas — Tokyo seems to have resigned itself to a demographic crisis that threatens to stunt the
Prison Continued from A1 Although officials have long battled illegal cell phones, smart phones have changed the game. With Internet access, a prisoner can call up phone directories, maps and photographs for criminal purposes, corrections officials and prison security experts say. Gang violence and drug trafficking, they say, are increasingly being orchestrated online, allowing inmates to keep up criminal behavior even as they serve time. “The smart phone is the most lethal weapon you can get inside a prison,” said Terry Bittner, director of security products with the ITT Corp., one of a handful of companies that create cell phonedetection systems for prisons. “The smart phone is the equivalent of the old Swiss Army knife. You can do a lot of other things with it.”
A losing battle The Georgia prison strike, for instance, was about things prisoners often complain about: They are not paid for their labor. Visitation rules are too strict. Meals are bad. But the technology they used to voice their concerns was new. Inmates punched in text messages and assembled e-mail lists to coordinate simultaneous protests, including work stoppages, with inmates at other prisons. Under pseudonyms, they shared hour-by-hour updates with followers on Facebook and Twitter. They communicated with their advocates, conducted news media interviews and monitored coverage of the strike. In Oklahoma, a convicted murderer was caught in November posting photographs on his Facebook page of drugs, knives and alcohol that had been smuggled into his cell. In 2009, gang members in a Maryland prison were caught using their smart phones to approve targets for robberies and even to order seafood and cigars. Even closely watched prisoners are sneaking phones in. Last month, California prison guards found a flip phone under Charles Manson’s mattress. The logical solution would be to keep all cell phones out of prison. But that is a war that is being lost, corrections officials say. Prisoners agree. “Almost everybody has a phone,” said Mike, 33, an inmate at Smith State Prison in Georgia who, like other prisoners interviewed for this article, asked that his full name not be used for fear of retaliation. “Almost every phone is a smart phone. Almost everybody with a smart phone has a Facebook (page).” Cell phones are prohibited in all state and federal prisons in the United States, often even for top corrections officials. Punishment for a prisoner found with one varies. In some states, it is an infraction that affects parole or time off
Diamonds Continued from A1 The gems from Zimbabwe’s biggest diamond field in the Marange region are helping enrich the 86-year-old president’s party ahead of next year’s vote, according to Human Rights Watch, Partnership Africa Canada and the Zimbabwean opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, which governs in a forced coalition with Mugabe’s party.

Maria Fransiska, an Indonesian nurse, left, asks for directions from a staffer Sunday at a hospital in Kashiwa, outside of Tokyo. Despite facing an imminent labor shortage as its population ages, Japan has done little to open itself up to immigration. country’s economic growth, hamper efforts to deal with its chronic budget deficits and bankrupt its social security system. The barriers to more immigration to Japan are many. Restrictive immigration laws bar the country’s struggling farms or workshops from access to foreign labor, driving some to abuse trainee programs for workers from developing countries, or hire illegal immigrants. Stringent qualification requirements shut out skilled foreign professionals, while a web of complex rules and procedures discourages entrepreneurs from
setting up in Japan. But Japan’s demographic time clock is ticking: Its population will fall by almost a third to 90 million within 50 years, according to government forecasts. By 2055, more than one in three Japanese will be over 65, as the working-age population falls by more than a third to 52 million. “The shrinking population is the biggest problem. The country is fighting for its survival,” said Hidenori Sakanaka, director of the Japan Immigration Policy Institute, an independent research organization.
“The smart phone is the most lethal weapon you can get inside a prison. The smart phone is the equivalent of the old Swiss Army knife. You can do a lot of other things with it.” — Terry Bittner, ITT Corp. for good behavior. In others, it results in new criminal charges. President Barack Obama signed a law in August making possession of a phone or a wireless device in a federal prison a felony, punishable by up to a year of extra sentencing. Still, they get in. By the thousands. In the first four months of 2010, Federal Bureau of Prisons workers confiscated 1,188 cell phones, according to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, who sponsored the federal measure. In California last year, officers discovered nearly 9,000 phones. Payments for cell phones range from $300 to $1,000, depending on the type of phone and the service plan. Monthly fees are generally paid by inmates’ relatives. Phones are smuggled in by guards, visitors and inmates convicted of misdemeanors with lower security restrictions. But that is not the only way. In South Carolina, where most prisons are rural and staff members have to pass through X-ray machines and metal detectors, smugglers resort to an old-fashioned method — tossing phones over fences. They stuff smart phones into footballs or launch them from a device called a potato cannon or spud gun, which shoots a projectile through a pipe. Packages are sometimes camouflaged with a coating of grass, which makes them hard for guards to detect. The drops are coordinated through texts or calls between inmates and people outside, said Jon Ozmint, director of the South Carolina Department of Corrections, which confiscates as many as 2,000 cell phones a year. The solution, Ozmint and others say, is to simply jam cell phone signals in prisons. He and prison officials from 29 other states petitioned the Federal Communications Commission last year for permission to install technology that would render cell phones useless. But there is no support from the cell phone industry. “It’s illegal, plain and simple,” said Chris Guttman-McCabe, vice president of regulatory affairs for CTIA-The Wireless Association. He cited the Communications Act of 1934, which prohibits the blocking of radio signals — or, in this case, cell phone signals — from authorized users. Although supporters of jamming disagree, Guttman-McCabe argues that the technology is not yet good enough to prevent legal cell phones nearby but not inside prison walls to be jammed. Nor does the technology assure that every inch inside a prison is blocked, he said. The solution may be a new system introduced in Mississippi. It is being tested in several other states
and has the cell phone industry’s support. Called managed access, the system establishes a network around a prison that detects every call and text. Callers using cell phones that are not on an approved list receive a message saying the device is illegal and will no longer function. At the Mississippi State Penitentiary, which houses about 3,000 inmates, 643,388 calls and texts going in and out were intercepted between July 31 and Dec. 1, 2010. The system was so successful that Mississippi is installing it at its two other penitentiaries. Finding the actual cell phones inside a prison is another solution, and several states are testing systems. For example, Maryland and New Jersey are using dogs that can sniff out the ionization of cell phone batteries.
A lifeline? The recent rise in smart phones raises larger issues for prisoners and their advocates, who say the phones are not necessarily used for criminal purposes. In some prisons, a traditional phone call is prohibitive, costing $1 per minute in many states. And cell phones can help some offenders stay better connected with their families. Mike, the Georgia inmate who was part of the recent strike, said he used his to stay in touch with his son. “When he gets off the school bus, I’m on the phone and I talk to him,” he said in an interview on his contraband cell phone. “When he goes to bed, I’m on the phone and I talk to him.” Some groups are encouraging prisons to embrace new technology while managing risks. Inmates are more likely to successfully reenter society if they maintain relationships with friends and families, said David Fathi, director of the National Prison Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. “It shows that even if they are closed institutions, prisons are still part of the larger society,” Fathi said. “They can’t be forever walled off from technological changes.” And in a world where hundreds of apps are introduced each day by developers hoping to tap new markets, a pool of prisoners with smart phones can seem an attractive new market, despite the implications. “It’s a pure business opportunity,” said Hal Goldstein, publisher of iPhone Life magazine. He predicted that games would be big, but so would the ability to download news and books. “People outside of prison become addicted to their phones,” Goldstein said. “Can you imagine if you had nothing but time on your hands?”
Annual income from the gems may reach $2 billion, assuming the country is able to export them freely, the stateowned Herald newspaper cited Mines Minister Obert Mpofu as saying in October. Mugabe is trying to amass funds for the election campaign, said Tom Porteous, the British director of New York-based Human Rights Watch, which has lobbied against abuses for the past 30 years. “Revenue from the mines is serving to prop up Mugabe and his cronies,” Porteous said in a response to e-mailed questions. “There are real concerns that diamond revenue will be used to fund political violence and intimidation of Mugabe’s opponents.” Human Rights Watch cited interviews with unidentified soldiers, diggers, community leaders, and members of government and the parliamentary portfolio committee on mines and energy to support its allegations. Partnership Africa Canada, an Ottawa-based nonprofit organization, said in a June report that Marange is controlled by the military and proceeds from the gems aren’t benefiting the country. The group cited testimony in Zimbabwe’s parliament, company statements, and interviews with unidentified diplomats and illegal miners for its conclusions. Illegal smuggling benefits Mugabe because it is mostly carried out via the military, according to the two nonprofits and interviews with six smugglers and two dealers in and around Vila de Manica, where
THE BULLETIN • Monday, January 3, 2011 A5 Chikwere, clad in Diesel jeans and wearing two gold chains, was displaying his wares. The army reports to the president. The Finance Ministry, by contrast, is controlled by Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change, or MDC, and receives revenue from legal diamond mining in the form of taxes. Mugabe’s party, the Zimbabwe African National UnionPatriotic Front, or Zanu-PF, denies the smuggling allegations. “These are just inventions of the western imperialists who are trying to discredit ZanuPF,” party spokesman Rugare Gumbo said in an interview from Harare, the country’s capital. “There is no corruption at Marange, and Zanu-PF is not using the proceeds.” Diamonds from Marange can’t be exported legally from Zimbabwe because the field hasn’t yet met an international certification standard showing that proceeds from sales aren’t used to finance conflict. Mining at Marange has been subject to allegations of military abuses of unauthorized miners and disputes over ownership of the deposit. Human Rights Watch said in June that 200 miners were killed in 2008 at the site by the military, and also reported that the army controls most of the deposits and is forcing local community members to mine the gems on its behalf. Soldiers are smuggling gems across the border, according to Human Rights Watch, which cited information it has obtained and interviews with unidentified people. Mozambique isn’t a member of the so-called Kimberley Process, an organization that includes governments and diamond industry companies and is designed to reduce the number of so-called conflict diamonds in the world. The Jerusalem-based group said it couldn’t decide on whether to allow unfettered exports from Marange at a meeting that ended on Nov. 4. The Kimberley Process says it has reduced the proportion of conflict diamonds in the world trade to 1 percent from 15 percent. Signatories, which include all major diamond-producing and buying countries, have
pledged that they won’t deal in uncertified gems.
Street of dealers A police station in Vila de Manica is situated on a street where dealers from Guinea, Lebanon, Sierra Leone and Nigeria — who all disclosed their nationalities in interviews — trade on the porches of their houses. Security guards sit outside. Mercedes, Humvee and Range Rover vehicles drive down the town’s streets, lined by freshly painted houses sprouting satellite television dishes. By contrast, the 750-mile drive to the region from Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, runs through small towns where ramshackle buildings are side-by-side with grass shacks known as baraccas. Vila de Manica has “become one of the premier purchase and departure points for Marange’s illegal diamonds,” Partnership Africa Canada said in a June report on its website. “Diamonds are being sold in this district, after they’ve been smuggled from Zimbabwe,” said Jose Tefula, district administrator for Manica District, in a Dec. 20 phone interview. “Locally we don’t have any diamonds, so the stones can only come from Zimbabwe.” A group of about 40 diamond dealers surrounded the vehicle in which two Bloomberg reporters were traveling in Vila de Manica on Nov. 26. They banged the side of the car with their fists, blocked the escape route with motor vehicles, seized and damaged a camera, and shouted “you’re dying today.” Two policemen arrived and detained the reporters for almost an hour, saying they should have sought permission to enter the area. No action was taken against the dealers. “We believe the new intransigence of Zanu-PF is down to its finding of an infinite source of wealth,” said Nicole Fritz of Johannesburg’s Southern African Litigation Centre. “There is this race to elections.” In Vila de Manica, smuggler Chikwere boasted that there was no limit to the amount of stones he could bring into Mozambique. “Don’t worry about me and the border,” he said. “I have my systems.”

Navy to investigate lewd carrier videos NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy said Sunday it will investigate “clearly inappropriate” videos broadcast to the crew of a nuclearpowered aircraft carrier in which a top officer of the ship used gay slurs, mimicked masturbation and opened the shower curtain on women pretending to bathe together. The star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007, is a former Top Gun pilot who now commands the same ship, the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise, which was deployed in the Middle East at the time and is weeks from deploying again.

Agent: Exhaustion is reason Berry left show CHICAGO — An agent for Chuck Berry says exhaustion was the reason the rock ’n’ roll legend felt ill before a Chicago show and had to have medics check him out. Agent Dick Alen said Sunday via e-mail that the 84-year-old Berry was on a plane going home to the St. Louis area. He says he didn’t know if Berry was seeking additional medical treatment. Fire Department spokesman Joe Roccasalva says Berry felt better and signed a release after being checked out before Saturday’s show. Concertgoer Steve Handwerker says Berry gave an erratic, out-of-tune performance and had to be helped offstage. Handwerker says Berry thanked the crowd before leaving the stage. Berry is known for such classic songs as “Maybelline,” “Johnny B. Goode” and “Roll Over Beethoven.” — From wire reports
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Egyptian police are focusing their investigation into the New Year’s suicide bombing of a church on a group of Islamic hard-liners inspired by al-Qaida and based in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria where the attack killed 21 people, security officials said Sunday. The bombing touched off riots and protests by Egypt’s Christian minority, who feel they are targeted and discriminated against and do not get adequate protection from authorities. There were signs of beefed-up security outside churches nationwide, and dozens returned to pray Sunday in the bombed, blood-spattered Saints Church — many of them sobbing, screaming in anger and slapping themselves in grief.

U.N. peacekeepers come under increasing threat in Ivory Coast By Marco Chown Oved The Associated Press
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Some people yell “U.N. out!” as the Jordanian U.N. peacekeepers pass by in their armored personnel carriers, but these soldiers don’t understand French. One man honks his horn before dragging his thumb across his throat in a gesture that cannot be misunderstood. The United Nations declared Alassane Ouattara the winner of Ivory
Coast’s long-delayed presidential vote, but incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo has refused to step aside now for more than a month. Gbagbo accuses the U.N. of failing to remain neutral, and the U.N. has ignored his demand for thousands of peacekeepers to leave. Now peacekeepers patrolling the streets of Abidjan are coming under growing threat — one was wounded with a machete this week when a crowd in a pro-Gbagbo neighbor-
hood attacked a convoy and set a U.N. vehicle on fire. The next day, a U.N. patrol was fired upon from a nearby building as an angry crowd surrounded them. They were forced to fire into the air to disperse the crowd, a U.N. statement said. Gbagbo accused those peacekeepers of firing on the crowd and reiterated his call for the U.N. mission to leave during a Saturday evening address on state television. The U.N. denies having fired on the crowd.
Aiming, again, to revive Babylon’s ruins New York Times News Service JIMIJMA, Iraq — The damage done to the ruins of ancient Babylon is visible from a small hilltop near the Tower of Babel, whose biblical importance is hard to envision from what is left of it today. Across the horizon are guard towers, concertina wire and dirt-filled barriers among the palm trees; encroaching farms and concrete houses from this village and others; and the enormous palace that Saddam Hussein built in the 1980s atop the city where Nebuchadnezzar II ruled.
Something else is visible, too: earthen mounds concealing all that has yet to be discovered in a city that the prophet Jeremiah called “a gold cup in the Lord’s hands, a cup that made the whole earth drunk.” Now, for the first time since the U.S. invasion in 2003, after years of neglect and violence, archaeologists and preservationists have once again begun working to protect and even restore parts of Babylon. The World Monuments Fund, working with Iraq’s State Board of Antiquities and Heritage, has drafted a con-
$$$
servation plan to combat any further deterioration of Babylon’s ruins, and reverse some of the effects of time and Hussein’s propagandistic and archaeologically specious re-creations. In November, the State Department announced a new $2 million grant to begin work to preserve the site’s most impressive surviving ruins. They include the foundation of the Ishtar Gate, built in the sixth century B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar’s father, Nabopolassar, and adorned with brick reliefs of the Babylonian gods Marduk and Adad.

Iran’s Ahmadinejad fires 14 senior advisers TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has fired 14 of his senior advisers, the Mehr news agency reported Sunday. One of the president’s most senior advisers and closest aide for five years, Mehdi Kalhor, confirmed the dismissals, including his own, but said he did not know the reason. The media and cultural adviser said he and the other 13 received a letter of thanks and appreciation on Sunday from the president without further elaboration. Observers believe the dismissals might be political or a cost-cutting move. If political, it remains to be seen whether the new advisers are technocrats or more ideological.
Hungary investigates explicit Ice-T songs, and he applauds BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s media authority says it is investigating a radio station for playing Ice-T songs with explicit lyrics, an announcement that got an enthusiastic response from the hip-hop star and actor. Tilos Radio argued that since the lyrics are in English and the station has very few young listeners, the songs did not have an “adverse effect on the moral development” of children under 16. Ice-T, known for his controversial “Cop Killer” track and as a star of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” welcomed the dispute, posting “I love it! The world still fears me. hahaha!” on Twitter.

Area subcontractors say they have yet to be paid for work on cinema project
Bend’s largest homeless shelter is poised to enter into a lease this week with Deschutes County and begin paying rent for the facility the shelter already occupies. County commissioners are scheduled to decide Wednesday whether to sign the lease with The Bethlehem Inn. For three years, The Bethlehem Inn has operated rent-free at a former motel that Deschutes County and the city of Bend purchased for approximately $2.5 million. During that time, county and shelter officials went back and forth over who should pay for the property. In May, board members for The Bethlehem Inn decided not to purchase the property from the county. The board had offered to purchase the property for the current market price, but county officials wanted to recoup what they spent in 2007 and would not budge. Under the proposed lease, the shelter would pay $2,034 a month and continue to perform general maintenance on the property. Deschutes County would be responsible for electrical, foundation, roof and other structural issues, according to a county staff report.

Six months ago, Hunter Excavation did more than $35,000 worth of work on the site where the new Madras movie theater is expected to open. Jerry Johnson, the Madras company’s owner, has yet to be paid. And he’s not the only one waiting for a check. Six companies filed liens against the movie theater business and its owner, Chuck Nakvasil, of Portland. The liens total more than $200,000. Johnson said in 18 years of business, this is the first time he’s filed a lien. “It’s not common. The bottom line is, this guy hasn’t paid his subcontractors,” Johnson said. And Johnson is worried he will never see the money. “I need my money like everybody else in the world,” he said. Nakvasil said Sunday that the bills haven’t been paid yet in part because his lawyer has been out of town. He also said he was working on some finance issues but declined to give specifics.
Nakvasil reassures “Everyone will be paid,” he said. The theater recently pushed back its completion date. The Madras Redevelopment Commission, which agreed to pay the project $100,000 a year for five years to lure the theater to town, agreed on a later opening date. Nakvasil, who owns seven other theaters throughout the state, said in an earlier interview that his $3.5 million project will be completed this spring. He said he’s already invested $2 million on the Madras project, and it’s 80 percent complete. The theater is part of a larger project known as Jefferson Square, along U.S. Highway 97. Developer Scott Goodrich, of Bend, owns the surrounding property. See Theater / B2

If you go What: Deschutes County Commission meeting When: 10 a.m. Wednesday Where: 1300 N.W. Wall St., Bend 2010 through June 2012. “We’re very happy that we have now a two-year lease,” Clouart said Thursday. “Our board has agreed to sign this lease as it currently stands.” To purchase the property, Deschutes County took out a loan from other county funds. As a result, the county has to charge itself interest on that internal loan.
Rent to cover interest “The lease — at least in the short term — stops the bleeding in the county’s Bethlehem Inn fund by covering the cost of the interest that’s accumulating in the fund,” County Administrator Dave Kanner wrote in an email Thursday. Deputy County Administrator Erik Kropp is recommending the County Commission approve the lease, according to a staff report. The Bethlehem Inn has space for roughly 60 single adults and four families, The Bulletin has reported. Deschutes County paid approximately $2.25 million for the former Econo Lodge Motel building in northeast Bend, and the city of Bend covered the down payment of $230,000. See Shelter / B2

s the trailers pulled up loaded with Christmas trees, the Boy Scouts in Bend’s Troop 25 got to work, dragging the trees onto a big truck, stacking them high and stomping them down to fit as many trees in the truck as possible. “Pass me one, literally chuck it,” Calvin Laughlin, 12, of Bend, yelled to a friend as he hauled another tree to the back of the truck, getting caught up in the mass of firs. “I’m being buried.” Sunday was the second day of the Boy Scouts’ annual Christmas tree recycling fundraiser, where Scouts pick up trees at the curb and take them to be ground up and recycled. The Scouts also will be collecting trees next weekend. So far, Laughlin said, the tree collection was going pretty well. See Trees / B2

The clear skies and sun that Central Oregonians enjoyed Sunday are forecast to continue early this week, until a storm brings clouds Wednesday and precipitation Thursday. The storm should be mild compared with recent weeks, said Ann Adams, an assistant forecaster for the National Weather Service in Pendleton. “There’s nothing we’re seeing right now that’s going to be a wallop,” Adams said.

Storm expected The storm is expected to move down from British Columbia to the Pacific Northwest later in the week. In Bend, the week will likely start out clear but chilly, with daytime temperatures in the low to mid-30s and overnight lows in the teens to 20s, according to the National Weather Service website. With clouds moving in Wednesday and Thursday, high temperatures will increase to the upper 30s to low 40s, and nighttime lows will be in the 20s. See Weather / B2
SALEM — Eight months ago, Sen. Chris Telfer, RBend, introduced legislation to make it possible for a Bend club to obtain a liquor license. It passed the Legislature with unanimous support. But the Bend club owner whose story sparked the change now says he has no plans to use the new law — for the time being, at least. “I certainly don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to apply again for my own liquor license in the future, but I don’t need to do it right now,” said Adam Bledsoe, who coowns The Loft, a private club downtown. Bledsoe, 32, opened the club in August 2008 on the second floor of the 919 Bond Building. He had help from his partners: his brother, Drew, a former NFL all-pro quarterback, as well as Chad Wold, an investor who operates two similar clubs in Montana. Before Telfer, Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, and other lawmakers got involved, Bledsoe had wrangled with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for 18 months. See Liquor / B2

CIVIL SUITS One killed in crash in Klamath County A 65-year-old Chico, Calif., woman died and two Klamath Falls residents were injured in a crash in northern Klamath County on Sunday morning, according to a news release from the Oregon State Police. The section of U.S. Highway 97 where Hadley Ann Alger, 65, lost control of her 2003 Subaru station wagon was covered in packed snow and ice. It was approximately six miles south of the county line between Deschutes and Klamath counties. As of Sunday evening, the crash was still under investigation, and police did not know why Alger lost control. Alger was driving south on Highway 97 at approximately 11:47 a.m. Sunday when she lost control and crossed broadside into the northbound lane, according to the police. Klamath Falls resident Collin Runnels,

She was traveling alone, returning home from visiting a relative in the Bend area. Runnels and passenger Brittainy Anne Pendleton, also a 24year-old Klamath Falls resident, were both taken to Sky Lakes Medical Center in Klamath Falls, according to the news release. Runnels was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries, but Pendleton suffered serious injuries and was later taken by air ambulance to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland for emergency surgery.

Trees Continued from B1 “My favorite part is putting up the trees and stacking them,� he said. Sunday, about 10 boys from Troop 25 were scrambling on the truck, figuring out the best ways to pile the trees. Because the trees are conically shaped, the trick is to put the trunk of one next to the top of another, said Nathan Hildebrandt, 15. Jacob Lamken, 13, of Redmond, was helping out Sunday and planning to collect more trees next weekend to help with the fundraiser. “It’s my favorite of the year, it’s so much fun,� said Jacob Lamken, 13, of Redmond. The best part, he said, is “tree swimming� — diving into the pile of evergreens.

Liquor Continued from B1 He even spent $10,000 on a lawyer to try to figure out ways around certain OLCC rules. Those rules allowed only nonprofit clubs like the Elks Lodge to get liquor licenses — not forprofit ones like The Loft. Bledsoe, who had become a vocal critic of the liquor commission, called the rules “devoid of logic� in a December 2009 interview. Telfer joined with Whisnant and other co-sponsors in the February 2010 special session to change the law for Bledsoe and any other private clubs that might be interested. The law went into effect immediately, but before it could be used, the OLCC had to adopt regulations that detailed how the law could be applied. Bledsoe attended one meeting to discuss the new rules — an Aug. 24 advisory committee meeting of the OLCC. “He was very impressive,� said Grover Simmons, a committee member. But Bledsoe became disheartened by the OLCC’s desire to require that clubs have a minimum

try to cover the entire community so there’s a way for people to get their trees picked up.� After cruising the streets to look for discarded trees, the Scouts take the trees to Knott Landfill to be recycled. The Christmas tree pickup

of 150 members — The Loft has about 135, he says — as well as by other concerns OLCC staff raised. “The process became so mired that I literally stopped paying attention to it,� he said. “The bottom line is that I couldn’t sit around and wait for the OLCC to make up its mind.� Late in 2009, even before Telfer introduced her bill, Bledsoe entered into an agreement with Zydeco Kitchen + Cocktails, a restaurant which had opened up downstairs. Zydeco applied to extend its liquor license, so it applied upstairs as well, and the two arranged a sublease so that the bar in the club upstairs is an extension of the business downstairs. The arrangement allowed customers of The Loft to consume liquor and cocktails on the premises. “From a customer’s perspective, it’s identical to having a liquor license,� Bledsoe. He said he originally considered the deal a temporary “Band-Aid,� noting that his club “had to give up the vast portion of the liquor revenue.� In November, the OLCC adopted rules allowing for-profit clubs that serve food and have a minimum of 100 members to
have liquor licenses. Upon reading the final regulation, Bledsoe said he could use the rule and apply for a liquor license of his own, but he is sick of dealing with the OLCC and is comfortable with his arrangement with Zydeco. “You don’t want to get things up and running smoothly and switch it,� he said, “and then get things up and running smoothly — and switch it again.� He said that even if he doesn’t use the new law in Bend, it will come in handy if he expands The Loft to other cities in Oregon, as he’d originally envisioned. “It certainly opens the door to repeating the model elsewhere,� he said. Asked about Bledsoe’s comments, OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott said the rule-making process takes time because “stakeholders� need to be consulted in meetings to ensure a well-crafted regulation. “The whole purpose of including our stakeholders throughout the rule-making process is because they are the ones the rule will affect,� she said. She added, “It appears that Mr. Bledsoe’s concerns regarding the 150-
person requirement were heard during the rule-making process because the final rule language mentions 100 people in membership.� Whisnant said he isn’t concerned to hear Bledsoe doesn’t need the new law, saying, “Hopefully there will be other people who can use that. It’s good common sense.� Similarly, Telfer said she isn’t disappointed to hear The Loft won’t take advantage of the law. “I feel his pain, I feel his frustration,� she said of Bledsoe. “But I feel this gives other businesses the opportunity to start.� Telfer is working on a bill for the 2011 Legislature that is in part sparked by Bledsoe’s experience. It would require agencies’ regulations to be approved by legislative committees that work with that agency.

O iPods fire up kids for reading While other schools put bans on personal electronics, one class embraces technology
Fourthgrader Yesenia Hernandez Ramirez practices math on an iPod Touch at Philander Lee Elementary School in Canby in early November. Students use iPod Touches to practice math and improve reading.
By Nicole Dungca The Oregonian
CANBY — With a furrowed brow and a deep breath, Dallis Engel pressed down on the screen of her iPod Touch. Then, she began to read. “My brother William is a fisherman,” she said, using a finger to trace words in Patricia MacLachlan’s book, “Sarah, Plain and Tall.” The 9-year-old stumbled over pronunciations and skipped words as an application recorded her voice. When she finished the passage, she glanced over at her teacher, Kelly Turcotte, and explained her next step. “I have to listen to it and make sure it’s perfect,” she said. “If you sound like a robot, you have to do it again.” In the Canby School District, it’s a familiar scene. While schools in the nearby North Clackamas School District and others across the nation have banned personal cellular phones or mobile Internet devices, Engel’s fourth-grade classroom at Philander Lee Elementary is fully embracing wireless technology. During a time of budget reductions — employees must take 14 furlough days this school year — the Canby School District has issued an iPod Touch to every third-grader, challenging the idea that digital technology exists largely as a distraction for a plugged-in generation.
State, federal grants Since implementing a pilot project at Philander Lee Elementary three years ago, the district has used about $250,000 in state and federal grant and rebate money to purchase the iPod Touches, a portable media player that connects to the Internet. In addition, the parent-teacher as-
Doug Beghtel The Oregonian
sociation at Lee Elementary raised about $12,000 to buy 60 iPod Touches for the school’s fourth- and fifthgraders, and another parent organization pitched in about $15,000 for 30 iPads at Eccles Elementary School. The choice of equipping third-graders first was intentional, according to Joseph Morelock, the district’s technology coordinator. The third grade is the first to take state tests, and administrators are eager to help students pass math achievement standards that have recently been raised. In presentations, Morelock has shown that several classrooms using the iPod Touches generated better test scores than the district average. He looks at iPod Touches and iPads as unparalleled tools that can be used in nearly every class. “Every kid now has their own dictionary, calculator, graphing calculator, connection to the Internet.” Turcotte and other teachers say the devices enthuse students, giving them the opportunity to practice multiplication using animated games, listen to books on iTunes or record their own reading voices. “These are the kids who hated
reading, but now there are all these things you can do on that iPod Touch,” said Turcotte, who heads a language arts class for struggling fourth-graders. “Suddenly, they feel like readers.” Students also learn at a comfortable pace, she said. Now, they can go back and practice a word or a math problem they’ve missed, minus the embarrassment. For their part, third- and fourthgraders mostly praise the goofy multiplication games, which have students play tic-tac-toe or combat aliens.
Books more exciting Engel says books become more exciting with the iPod Touch. Students often research settings of books on the Internet or listen to book recordings. “There are all these sound effects,” Engel said. “It makes you want to keep on reading and to know what happens next.” As budget cuts continue to loom, public perception has become an issue for schools dealing with doz-
ens of flashy digital tools. But Superintendent Jeff Rose defended the move to expand its iPod program, saying the money comes from grants and rebate dollars that cannot be used for teacher salaries. Besides that, he said, the school board had made the decision a few years ago to maintain technology: “In some ways, it jump-started this idea that technology needs to be somewhat of a funding priority.” The district’s efforts at infusing technology in the classroom are attracting notice. Districts from as far as Alaska and Hawaii are looking to tour their classrooms, and Apple recently named Canby’s technology innovation grant project an Apple Exemplary Program for 2010-11. Even with many districts looking at multimillion-dollar budget gaps next year, Morelock would not be surprised about Canby parents and educators pouring more money into the effort. “People like to bet on a winner,” Morelock said. “When they see kids doing well and kids getting excited about school, they want to get on board.”

O B Land dispute drags on a decade LEBANON — A project to build a few homes south of Lebanon has been in the works for a decade. It has taken that long for the Linn County Board of Commissioners to rule that the 15 acres south of town is not valuable farm or forestland. The Albany Democrat-Herald reported 59-yearold Bob Morris and his two brothers-in-law bought the land to build their retirement homes on it. Morris said he never thought it would take this long — and $50,000 in legal and consulting fees — to get a decision. The project has been blocked primarily by the Friends of Linn County, a group that tries to conserve farm and forestlands. Linn County Commissioner Roger Nyquist said the case shows that Oregon’s land use process is broken.
Man dies after being shot at club PORTLAND— Portland police have made an arrest in the shooting death of a 32-year-old man at a downtown club early New Year’s Day. Police say officers reported a fight and then shots fired about 1:30 a.m. that sent several hundred people pouring out of Club 915. The victim, whose name has not been released, died later at a hospital. Police interviewed several people and then arrested 31-year-old Kevin Charles Moffett and charged him with murder in the man’s death. Police say an officer who arrived at the club saw the victim lying at a street corner and fired his weapon as he dealt with “persons associated with the shooting.” Investigators say no one was hit, and the officer was placed on leave.
State trooper hit by car on icy road GRANTS PASS — An Oregon State trooper escaped with minor injuries when he was hit by a car as he stood on the shoulder of Interstate 5 just south of Grants Pass. State Police say a car went out of control on an icy stretch of pavement around 6:30 a.m. Saturday as trooper Eric Tholberg and a colleague were investigating a crash. Tholberg saw the car sliding toward him and tried to jump out of the way, but was struck in the left side and leg. The trooper was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released. No one else was hurt, and the driver wasn’t ticketed. — From wire reports

Clear the air with energy investigation
T
he independent counsel has become an established part of the American political scene, and with good reason. It gives the public reassurance that a sticky issue is being
dealt with honestly. It was most notably used first in the Watergate affair of the Nixon administration. Now Oregon’s outgoing governor, Ted Kulongski, has asked for the Oregon equivalent of the independent counsel to look into charges that the state somehow gave preferential treatment to a firm owned by the incoming governor’s girlfriend, Cylvia Hayes, of Bend. No official has suggested that Hayes, who is a partner in a pair of energy efficiency consulting groups, did anything remiss when one of the groups was awarded a subcontract to do work for the state of Oregon. TEEM, Toward Energy Efficient Municipalities, worked through a Seattle firm, R.W. Beck, under a federal stimulus contract to look into making the power grid less vulnerable to emergency outages, according to a Bulletin news article. Some suspected that state Department of Energy officials had unfairly steered the grant TEEM’s way, no doubt because of her connection to Kitzhaber. Hayes’ other group, 3E Strategies, lost the bid for the original $200,000 contract. The Department of Justice began looking into the matter in August, and officials there recently told Kulongski they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that no criminal ac-
tivity had taken place. That’s hardly a ringing endorsement of the actions taken by a handful of DOE employees, however, and Kulongoski has decided to pursue the matter further. To that end, he will appoint a lawyer to take a second look. He expects to name a person who is well versed in contracting and public employee collective bargaining, he said. Three of the four DOE employees in question have been on paid leave since the issue first arose, and last week the fourth, interim DOE director Mark Long, also was placed on leave. Long chose not to be interviewed during the earlier investigation. Kulongoski need not have named someone to take a second, independent look at the matter. He could simply have walked away and let his successor, John Kitzhaber, deal with whatever questions arise about TEEM, Cylvia Hayes and DOE. Instead, he chose to shift whatever political problems might arise as a result of the investigation from Kitzhaber to himself. In doing so, he also chose an action that assures Oregonians that political favor will not be a factor in the investigator’s findings.
Numbers tell the tale
A
fter more than a decade of warnings, Americans apparently remain unconvinced about the threat of greenhouse gases, global warming and other environmental threats of the 21st century. That’s evident in vehicle sales statistics from the first 11 months of 2010. Gone was our love of the likes of the hybrid Prius, the tiny Yarus and the slightly larger Civic. In their place? Midsize sport utility vehicles, from the Ford Edge to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. In fact, sales of midsize SUVs rose by some 41 percent in the first 11 months of last year, while sales of smaller, more efficient cars actually declined. It’s enough to make members of the Union of Concerned Scientists tear their hair out. The vehicle sales numbers serve to confirm what pollsters were saying for most of the last decade. Americans either believe that whatever threat global warming poses has been greatly exaggerated or that it is caused by Mother Nature, not the activities of humankind. Nor are those sentiments new. Gallop has been tracking Ameri-
cans’ attitudes about climate change for more than a decade, and with a brief exception in 2004 they’ve told the pollster that the problems climate change poses are greatly exaggerated. This spring, the number believing that rose to nearly half, 48 percent of those polled. A nearly equal number, 47 percent, told Rasmussen pollsters that climate problems stem not from human activity, but from long-term planetary trends — Mother Nature, in other words. As for fuel efficiency, we’re actually getting it, just not the way climate scientists wish. Americans love their big cars, and they want to go far and fast for as little money as possible. Fuel efficiencies have been put to use designing the bigger, more powerful vehicles Americans want, rather than the gas-thrifty mini cars we’ve been told we need. How, then, to explain the popularity of the tiny cars in the last few years? It clearly wasn’t driven by a sudden nationwide awakening to the horrors of climate change. Rather, it was the economy, and our concern for our own pocketbooks.
Shape of things to come under GOP rule By Bob Franken Hearst Newspapers
J
an. 5th is a big day. The world will be watching to see if and when the ever-emotional John Boehner breaks into tears as he takes over as House Speaker. He might not be the only one sobbing on Wednesday, since this is the official beginning of the new Congress with Nancy Pelosi getting demoted, and all the tea party wolves threatening to huff and puff and blow the House down. And the Senate. But Jan. 5 is not the only important date on the 2011 congressional calendar. Let’s also make sure we mark down March 4th. That’s when the tea party Republicans get a chance to make good on their promises of unyielding fiscal conservatism and shut down chunks of the United States government. March 4th is when the temporary spending bill passed by the old Congress expires. By then, all the feel-good hopes of compromise that marked the very end of the lame-duck session will be distant memories. It is true the ducks were able to hatch some big deals. Extended tax cuts and help for the unemployed to survive. Check. Historic social progress with repeal of the military’s controversial “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy barring out-of-the-closet gays from serving in uniform. Check. Nuclear arms reduction with ratification of the U.S.-Russia START agreement. Check. But START
was probably also the finish of grownup politics. Checkmate. We are about to discover that bipartisanship was sooooooooooo December, and so fleeting. There was just enough time for President Obama to gloat about the last-gasp accomplishments and keep a straight face while saying, “If there is any lesson to draw from these past few weeks, it is that we’re not doomed to endless gridlock.” It’s probably worth mentioning here that his aides insist the president isn’t smoking these days, considering that the new firebrands hope to light up his administration and its legislative accomplishments. Gridlock is probably the best he can hope for. The nuclear treaty was really part of a short cease-fire during the constant war that rages from one election to the next. We are now in 2012, if you are counting in campaign cycle years. The 111th was anything but a “Do Nothing Congress.” It’s a good possibility the 112th will quickly be regarded as “Do Nothing, PLEASE.” Back to that March 4th deadline for keeping government up and running: A shutdown is not inevitable. But a showdown is. In this game of chicken, neither side seems willing to make the first move away from a collision. Cooler GOP heads might have flashbacks to the last time Republicans stormed the Hill in 1994. Newt Gingrich & Co. also
refused, for a while, to make deals, and many federal agencies went out of business for a brief period. The insurgents of that era succeeded in scaring enough voters into re-electing Bill Clinton. Still, if we are to believe their campaign rhetoric, many of the tea partiers are convinced that a government shutdown is a good idea. Even established hands are preparing for one. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., who is a vice chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP’s campaign apparatus, was exhorting party faithful back in September, “If the government shuts down, we want you with us. There’s going to have to be some pain for us to do some things that we’ve got to do to right the ship.” According to the Congressional Research Service, the “pain” that lasted from Dec. 16, 1995, to Jan. 6, 1996, resulted in a furlough for 284,000 federal employees, while 475,000 were kept on the job in a pay-you-later status because they were deemed “essential.” The latter category included uniformed military and others deemed vital to “national defense, public health, safety and crucial operations.” For whatever reason, most in the White House and on Capitol Hill are on the essential list. What a crying shame. Bob Franken is a columnist for Hearst Newspapers.

Resolving to meet the ongoing challenge of living well By Linda P. Campbell McClatchy -Tribune News Service
“I
will pass this way but once. “If there’s any good that I can do “Let me do it now “For I’ll never pass this way again.” More than 35 years later, I still remember distinctly when Pam Simpson sang those words at the final assembly of our senior year at Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. It’s been replaying in my mind constantly since the reunion in September that our classmate Chris Vale organized and herded almost half our 400-member graduating class to, with help from generous donors of money and time. The marvel of Google led me to a YouTube rendition of the song, which was written by Ronnie Gaylord and recorded by Glen Campbell in 1972. “I will see this day but once. “If there’s any kindness I can show “Let me show it now “For I’ll never see this day again.”
The first time I heard the words, they seemed a poignant farewell. I’ve since realized they map a strategy for living. But it’s a daunting one. Think about what it asks for. A gracious response to the crank who persistently sends hostile or annoying e-mails, as if you don’t already have plenty to do. A calm, loving hand of guidance when your children make you want to pull your hair out. A caring acknowledgment of the panhandler who approaches on a downtown sidewalk, instead of averted eyes and a retreat across the street. A patient yield to the driver who selfishly barges to the front of merging traffic lines. A polite “no, thank you” to the solicitor who calls at dinnertime — because even telemarketers need to work for a living. A sincere kindness to that co-worker or relative or acquaintance who sets. your. teeth. on. edge. This ideal requires that we not yell at
Oh, there are saints among us. And thank goodness. They go out of their way to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the afflicted, sow peace where there’s conflict, turn the other cheek, give voice to the voiceless and generally make the world a better place. the obviously blind, boneheaded ref. That we listen respectfully to ridiculously misguided political views. That we just hush when we can’t say something nice. That we treat even the most irritating, idiotic or despicable human beings like what they are: children of God.
These might appear to be trivialities. They aren’t the serious moral dilemmas and crises of faith that try our souls, but that makes them seem easy to dismiss when they shouldn’t be. On a day-to-day basis, this is hard stuff. Because most of us mere mortals aren’t saints. Oh, there are saints among us. And thank goodness. They go out of their way to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the afflicted, sow peace where there’s conflict, turn the other cheek, give voice to the voiceless and generally make the world a better place. They do it with happy hearts because it’s the right thing to do. The rest of us have to remind ourselves every single day that we’ve been given a gift that shouldn’t be wasted, spoiled or ruined through pettiness, impatience, incivility, cruelty, callousness or thoughtless indifference. On too many days, we forget. That’s why I like the idea of New Year’s resolutions. Not because they
provide a chance to set wildly impossible goals that won’t be pursued any longer than it took to write them down — but because they represent the opportunity for a fresh start on the daily challenge of living well. So I resolve, among other things: In addition to hitting the gym regularly, to find a new community volunteer project. In addition to acting less grumpy when tired, to grouse less often. In addition to being more organized and efficient, to be more reasoned, fair and understanding. And every day I fall short, I’ll get up and try again the next. “Tomorrow may be too late my friend to do all the good that you planned,” the song goes. Why not do it now? Because I’ll never pass this way again. Linda P. Campbell is a columnist and editorial writer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

O Experimental poet Janine Pommy Vega dies at 68
Szeto Wah, 79, political activist in Hong Kong By Keith Bradsher New York Times News Service
By William Grimes New York Times News Service
Janine Pommy Vega, a poet and intimate of the Beat generation luminaries Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky whose lifelong quest for transcendence took her to San Francisco in the 1960s and on a pilgrimage to neolithic goddessworship sites in the 1980s, died Dec. 23 at her home in Willow, N.Y. She was 68. The cause was a heart attack, her companion, Andy Clausen, said. Vega’s life course was set when, as a teenager in Union City, N.J., she read Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.” “All the characters seemed to have an intensity that was missing from my life,” she wrote in her memoir “Tracking the Serpent: Journeys Into Four Continents,” published by City Lights in 1997.
Headed straight to New York City After reading a magazine article about the Beats, she and a high school friend headed for New York, where, as luck would have it, they met the poet Gregory Corso and, through him, Ginsberg and Orlovsky, who became Vega’s first lover. The day after she graduated as valedictorian of her high school in 1960, she announced to her mother, “I’m going to live with Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky in Greenwich Village,” and she embarked on her sentimental education. She worked as a waitress at the Cafe Bizarre, wrote experimental poetry in the Beat vein, wore baggy men’s clothes and a stocking cap, and fell in love with a Peruvian painter, Fernando Vega. The couple lived the Bohemian life in Paris, where she passed the hat for a folk singer and worked as a model at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. She returned to the United States after her husband died of a heroin overdose on Ibiza. City Lights, the bookstore and publishing house in San Francisco associated with the Beats, published her first book of poetry, “Poems to Fernando,” in its Pocket Poets series in 1968. She went on to publish more than a dozen books of poetry while roaming the world on spiritual quests that included treks in the Himalayas and two years as a hermit on the Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. “Tracking the Serpent,” a kind of feminist “On the Road,” chronicled her visits in the 1980s to matriarchal power sites in the Amazon, Nepal, France and Britain.
Born in Jersey City Janine Pommy was born on Feb. 5, 1942, in Jersey City, N.J. Her father worked as a milkman in the mornings and a carpenter in the afternoons. In the mid-1970s, she began teaching poetry workshops in New York prisons through the program Incisions/Arts, whose director she became in 1987. At her death, she taught at prisons as part of the Bard Prison Initiative, a program of Bard College that confers bachelor’s degrees on inmate students. Black Sparrow Press published her most recent poetry collections, “Mad Dogs of Trieste” (2000) and “The Green Piano” (2005). In addition to Clausen, she is survived by a brother, Bill Pommy, of Tijeras, N.M.

Hong Kong democracy activist Szeto Wah stands in a makeshift tribute area for late Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang in Hong Kong on Jan. 19, 2005. Szeto, a vocal supporter of the 1989 Tiananmen Square student protests, has died at 79.
HONG KONG — Szeto Wah, a Hong Kong union leader and critic of British colonial rule who became an implacable critic of the Chinese Communist Party after the Tiananmen Square killings in 1989, died Sunday after a long struggle with lung cancer. He was 79. As a prominent leftist who had organized strikes against the British, Szeto had seemed assured of a prominent role after the British returned Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997. Before the Chinese military used armored vehicles and guns against peaceful demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, he was even part of the Beijing-backed committee that was drafting the Basic Law, which was to be Hong Kong’s constitution under Chinese rule. But unlike some leftists in Hong Kong, Szeto broke all ties to Beijing after the military crackdown. He became chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, a position he held until his death. The alliance organizes annual candlelight vigils in downtown Hong Kong on June 4 to commemorate the deaths in Tiananmen Square and to call for an end to one-party rule in mainland China. The vigil continues to draw tens of thousands of protesters every year, and the turnout is one ba-
Paul Calle, 82, designer of postage stamps, dies By Margalit Fox New York Times News Service
Paul Calle, a commercial artist whose most famous work was no bigger than a postage stamp, died Thursday in Stamford, Conn. Calle, one of the most highly regarded stamp designers in the nation, was 82. The cause was melanoma, said his son Chris, who is also a stamp designer. Calle designed more than 40 U.S. stamps, licked by generations of postwar Americans. He was best known for the 10-cent stamp, commissioned by NASA and issued in 1969, commemorating the Apollo 11 moon landing that year. His other stamps include ones honoring Gen. Douglas MacArthur (1971), Robert Frost (1974), the International Year of the Child (1979), Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan (1980), Frederic
Remington (1981), Pearl S. Buck (1983), the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1984) and folk-art carousel horses (1988 and again, with new artwork, in 1995). Calle’s work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and elsewhere. With Chris, he designed two 1994 stamps — a 29-cent firstclass stamp and a $9.95 expressmail stamp — commemorating the moon landing’s 25th anniversary. Father and son also collaborated on stamps for Sweden, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and the United Nations. Paul Calle was born in Manhattan on March 3, 1928. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and during the Korean War was an illustrator for the Army. Early in his career, Calle did
cover artwork for science-fiction pulp magazines like Galaxy, Fantasy Fiction and Super Science Stories, as well as for general-interest publications like The Saturday Evening Post. In 1962, he was among the inaugural group of artists chosen for the NASA Art Program, a documentary record of the space program that has produced thousands of works to date. Calle’s early art for the program includes a pair of 5-cent stamps, issued in 1967, depicting the Gemini capsule and astronaut Ed White making the first American spacewalk in 1965. On July 16, 1969, the day Apollo 11 was launched, Calle was the only artist allowed to observe the astronauts. That morning, when the astronauts lifted off, one of the things they carried was the engraved printing plate of Calle’s commemorative stamp.
Ruth Park, Australian novelist, dies at 93 By William Grimes New York Times News Service
Ruth Park, whose novel of the Sydney slums, “The Harp in the South,” shocked Australians in the 1940s but did not prevent her from becoming one of the country’s most revered writers, died Dec. 14 in Sydney. She was 93. Park leapt from obscurity in 1946 when her unpublished first novel, “The Harp in the South,” an unsparing picture of life in the Surry Hills neighborhood of Sydney, won first prize in The Sydney Morning Herald’s inaugural literary competition. Published two years later, the book became enormously popular, despite its frank depiction of prostitution, drunkenness, abortion and child abuse. It inspired two more novels that chronicled the further adventures of the Darcys, an IrishAustralian clan rendered with vivid Dickensian strokes. The first, “Poor Man’s Orange,” was published in the United States in 1951 as “121⁄2 Plymouth Street,” and a prequel, “Missus,” was first published in 1985 in Australia. Park was equally famous as a writer of fiction for young adults, notably “Callie’s Castle” (1974) and “Playing Beatie Bow” (1980), and as the author of the “Muddle-Headed Mongoose” series of radio plays and books for children.
Denis Dutton, founder of Arts & Letters Daily website By Elaine Woo Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Denis Dutton, a scholar, author and Internet trailblazer who founded Arts & Letters Daily, a pithy website that links thousands of devoted followers around the world to smart, provocative writing online about books, culture and ideas, died Tuesday in Christchurch, New Zealand, where he taught philosophy at the University of Canterbury. He was 66. The cause was complications of prostate cancer, said his brother, Doug, of the Dutton’s Books family, which ran independent bookstores in Los Angeles for five decades. Denis Dutton wrote books (including “The Art Instinct,” an engaging treatise on the evolution of imagination, published in 2009) but did not join the family bookselling business. He did, however, share his brothers’ enterprising spirit. He launched a scholarly journal, Philosophy and Literature, now run by Johns Hopkins University Press. Determined to recirculate out-of-print academic works, he ventured into electronic book
He loved few things more than a good argument and often would go to great lengths to debunk fraudulent ideas or their purveyors. publishing years before the current e-book rage. And, in 1998, he created Arts & Letters Daily, which the New Yorker called the “first and foremost aggregator” of well-written book reviews and other literary writing available on the Web. The magazine dubbed Dutton “the intellectual’s Matt Drudge,” a reference to the founder of the influential news site Drudge Report.
‘Incite thought’ Unlike Drudge, Dutton was not interested in breaking news. He wanted to “incite thought.” Modeled on a Victorian-era broadsheet, Arts & Letters Daily consists of three columns of witty teasers — written mainly by Dutton — about articles and essays on topics that provoked him and Managing Editor Tran Huu Dung, an economics professor at Wright State University in Ohio.
Recently their synapses fired over pieces on the decline of the soap opera, the metaphysics of lawn mowing, the enduring allure of “The Arabian Nights,” lasers and the search for the perfect golf swing, and a liberal’s critique of multiculturalism. The sources they linked to ranged from the mainstream (the Atlantic, Christian Science Monitor) to the obscure (a blog named Spiked, the Swedish magazine Axess) and swept across the political spectrum. The diversity appealed to an erudite contrarian such as Dutton, who for some years was a member of the Libertarian Party. He loved few things more than a good argument and often would go to great lengths to debunk fraudulent ideas or their purveyors. “That was his sport,” Doug Dutton said in an interview last week. The motto of Arts & Letters Daily was “Veritas Odit Mo-
ras” — Latin for Truth Hates Delay — a tidy summary of the website founder’s approach to life. A robust exchange of ideas was the daily bread when Dutton was growing up. The second of four children of William and Thelma Dutton, he was born in Los Angeles on Feb. 9, 1944, and grew up in North Hollywood.
Family of bookstores His parents had long dreamed of running a bookstore, and in 1961 risked their life savings on a Laurel Canyon Boulevard storefront to open Dutton’s Books. It was initially run by Thelma, eldest son Dave and daughterin-law Judy. Dave later took over the North Hollywood store, while Doug ran Dutton’s in Los Angeles’ Brentwood section. (Both stores are now closed.) Their sister, Dory, managed museum bookstores. In addition to his three siblings, Dutton is survived by his wife, Margit; and two children, Ben and Sonia. After graduating from North Hollywood High School, Denis studied philosophy at the Univer-
rometer of attitudes in Hong Kong toward the mainland. Many young people who barely remember the original crackdown attend, and parents take their children. Some brave mainland Chinese also come to join the vigil, though they are more often found prudently standing and watching under the tall trees that ring the concrete ball fields in Victoria Park where the vigil is held. The 20th anniversary vigil drew 150,000 people, according to the organizers, and 62,800, according to the police, the largest vigil since the first in 1990. In 1990, Szeto co-founded a political grouping that evolved into the Democratic Party, one of the largest political parties in Hong Kong. Beijing officials barred him and other party leaders from even entering mainland China after that. Szeto became one of the 60 members of the Legislative Council — half of which is selected by mainly pro-Beijing interest groups — and a consistent critic of the Beijing-backed government after 1997. He supported a compromise with the government last year that calls for an expansion of the legislature, with 10 seats elected by the general public, although only candidates from the city’s district councils could run for five of these seats.
sity of California-Santa Barbara, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1966 and a doctorate in 1973. In between degrees, he went to India with the Peace Corps, where he learned to play sitar from a student of Ravi Shankar (and, once home, shamelessly played for free meals at Indian restaurants). He taught philosophy at the University of Michigan from 1973 to 1984, when he moved to the University of Canterbury. In the mid-1990s, Dutton started the Bad Writing Contest to expose “pretentious, swaggering gibberish” passed off as scholarship at leading universities. It drew about 70 entries a year, singling out for its dubious honors such well-known academics as feminist theorist Judith Butler and literary critic Fredric Jameson. The “winners” were announced in his journal, Philosophy and Literature, in which Dutton could be brutal in his comments; he described Jameson, for instance, as a man who “finds it difficult to write intelligibly and impossible to write well.”

“This is one of those stories where we came away from other portrait studios saying, ‘There’s got to be a better way.’” — Lisa Flynn, whippersnappers studio founder
AUTOMATING photo
ENHANCEMENT By Ed Merriman The Bulletin
ive angel investors have invested $350,000 to help whippersnappers studio founder Lisa Flynn expand into the global marketplace with her “secret sauce” for enhancing photographs. “We have developed a system using several types of software to modify the snapshot and make it better within a matter of minutes, where it would take someone else hours to do the same thing,” Flynn said. The blend of proprietary software for enhancing photographs that Flynn calls the “secret sauce” was developed initially to enhance photos at the four whippersnappers studios in Bend, San Francisco, Dallas and one in central Texas near the Fort Hood military base, Flynn said. The “secret sauce” is actually a combination of steps that whippersnappers has automated to “enhance the image quality by improving lighting, contrast and color to make the subject really pop out,” Flynn said. While whippersnappers’ blend of proprietary software reduces the time it takes to enhance snapshots and historical photos, Flynn said the system remains true to her belief that photography is a work of art. “It still allows the photo editor to use his creative eye” when enhancing photos, she said, adding that the process can also be used to remove or clean up signs of wear, tear and aging. Flynn credits the success of whippersnappers to a combination of her background in marketing and her husband K.C. Flynn’s skills in graphic design. From my background in marketing, I know what pictures tug at the heart strings and that sell, and K.C. has the graphic design and photo editing skills,” she said. K.C. is whippersnappers’ director of development. See Photos / C6

Area retailers weigh in on possible ban on plastic bags By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin
As the Oregon Legislature considers a statewide ban on plastic bags in grocery and retail stores when it starts up in the new year, some Central Oregon stores are already a step ahead. “Since our inception 27 years ago, we’ve never used plastic grocery bags,” said Calen Jessee, manager of Nature’s General Store in Bend. Instead, the store bags groceries in paper and encourages customers to bring reusable bags, he said, to avoid additional plastic bags ending up in the landfill. “I’m fully supportive of the ban on plastic bags,” Jessee said. While he and several other Central Oregon grocers expressed support for the proposed ban — which could be the first statewide plastic bag ban in the country — they did raise concerns about elements of the plan. The proposed ban has been more than a year in the making, said Sen. Mark Hass, DBeaverton, who is sponsoring the legislation with another Democrat and two Republicans. Only 3 percent of the plastic bags in Oregon are returned to stores to be melted down for other uses, Hass said. “Nobody knows for sure what happens to the other 97 percent,” he said. “Wherever they go, the outcome is not good, whether it’s a landfill, in the Deschutes, alongside the roadways or into the ocean.” Plastic bags make up more than 10 percent of the trash collected on Oregon beach cleanups, he said, and clog recycling sorting machines. And with different cities across Oregon considering referendums or ordinances to ban plastic bags, grocers are supportive of having a single, consistent rule statewide. The legislation calls for no plastic bags in grocery or retail stores, he said, with some exceptions, including bags for produce, meat and in pharmacies. And it calls for a 5-cent charge for paper bags, which Hass said would cover the stores’ additional cost for paper bags as well as provide an incentive for customers to bring reusable bags. One of the big problems with plastic bags is that they end up as litter, especially in the ocean, said Katy Bryce with Bend’s Environmental Center. It’s best for people to take reusable bags to the grocery store, she said. The Environmental Center will support the proposed ban. “I think it’s a step in the right direction,” she said. Jessee, with Nature’s, said that while he’s in favor of a ban on plastic bags, he doesn’t want to see a charge added to paper bags, and he questioned what the policy would be for double-bagging heavy items. “I would hate that to be mandatory,” he said. “People are very sensitive to extra costs, even if it is just a nickel.” See Bags / C6

Citizen scientists carving out new roles via the Web By Alex Wright New York Times News Service
Hanny van Arkel had been using the Galaxy Zoo website less than a week when she noticed something odd about the photograph of IC 2497, a minor galaxy in the Leo Minor constellation. “It was this strange thing,” she recalled: an enormous gas cloud, floating like a ghost in front of the spiral galaxy. A Dutch schoolteacher with no formal training in astronomy, van Arkel had joined tens of thousands of other Web volunteers to help classify photographs taken by deep-space telescopes. Stumped by the unusual image on her computer screen, she e-mailed the project staff for guidance. Staff members were stumped, too. And thus was christened the celestial body now known to astronomers worldwide as Hanny’s Voorwerp (Dutch for “object”). Stories like van Arkel’s are becoming more common, as the Internet opens up new opportunities for citizen scientists. And as millions of
people get involved in these participatory projects, scientists are grappling with how best to harness the amateurs’ enthusiasm. Some critics argue that citizen science projects are often little more than ploys to stimulate public interest rather than advance scientific knowledge. Others fret over the quality of data generated by nonspecialists. But scientists must weigh such risks against the benefits of a powerful new research tool: a vast computer network that can parcel out complex projects into small tasks that can be completed by individuals with relatively limited training. Many got their first taste of citizen science with SETI@Home, which enlisted more than 5 million users in the search for signs of extraterrestrial life. Volunteers downloaded a program that used their computers’ idle processing cycles to sift through data from radio telescopes.
The success of SETI@Home has inspired a number of other grid-computing initiatives, like Grid Republic, a consortium of more than 50 projects relying on the same screen-saver-based software, and IBM’s World Community Grid, which is being used by Chinese researchers to investigate efficient water-filtering techniques using nanotubes. Now researchers are starting to look for ways to engage contributors in more substantive ways, taking advantage of what the Internet pundit Clay Shirky calls the “cognitive surplus” of online brainpower. Like Galaxy Zoo, the Herbaria@ home project turns users into volunteer taxonomists, classifying images from collections of herbarium specimens across Britain. To date, the site’s 284 registered users have cataloged more than 75,000 specimens. Other citizen science projects en-

list users as data gatherers, inviting them to contribute field observations about meteorological data, wildlife behavior and other phenomena. Cornell University’s Nestwatch provides a platform for amateur ornithologists to share observations about the nesting habits of bird species across North America. Recently, organizers have focused on tracking the effects of the BP oil spill on local birds’ nesting patterns. And Australia’s ClimateWatch project invites users to track seasonal variations in plant and animal life cycles across the Southern Hemisphere. Given the open-door participation policies, project administrators face major challenges in ensuring the integrity of their data. Staff members at Herbaria@home perform manual quality checks on about 5 percent of the incoming data, while ClimateWatch uses an algorithm to look for unusual data points, which can then be manually checked for accuracy.

Two new shows for old ‘Friends’ LeBlanc, P erry bring their comed ic p ower to ABC and Showtime By Jeanne Jakle San Antonio Express-News
Prepare to welcome two old “Friends” back to your living rooms. Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, stars of that long-running NBC hit, are returning to prime time in two new comedy series. Perry resurfaces in ABC’s “Mr. Sunshine,” which he cowrote. LeBlanc’s vehicle is “Episodes,” a Showtime comedy that comes from David Crane of “Friends.” Don’t expect either star to act anything like Joey or Chandler. Their new TV personas aren’t what you’d call likable; both are highly self-absorbed and opportunistic. They do generate plenty of humor, as do the ensemble casts around them. “Mr. Sunshine” and “Episodes” are part of a midseason lineup that’s full of such ensemble comedies, mostly of the relationship variety. Also arriving are new reality shows and dramas of the medical, crime and superhero sort. In the edgy and hilarious “Episodes,” premiering at 9:30 p.m. Sunday on Showtime, LeBlanc plays an egocentric and, much of the time, morally despicable actor. The joke? His name is Matt Le-Blanc, and his claim to fame is playing Joey on “Friends.” “There are some similarities,” LeBlanc said of the inevitable comparisons between himself and the character who
shares his name. For the most part, Matt on “Episodes” is a fictitious version of LeBlanc “without the rules.” The seven-episode show is derived from a familiar Hollywood scenario: taking a British hit to the United States and watching it get turned into something unrecognizable. It begins with a golden couple of British comedy, Sean and Beverly Lincoln (played brilliantly by Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig), whose show, “Lyman’s Boys” has earned them raves and awards. Their marital and professional lives take a drastic turn, however, when they’re persuaded by a powerful U.S. network president to move to Los Angeles and remake their show. “I think it’s about the crass interference in the creative process by people who are driven by forces not really concerned with what’s funny, but what’s going to sell,” said London-based producer Jimmy Mulville. An awkwardly horrifying — though darkly funny — scene has a network honcho suggesting that Sean and Beverly replace the original series’ lead actor, an erudite Royal Shakespearean vet, with Le-Blanc. Soon he’s no longer playing the headmaster of a boys’ school but the school’s hockey coach. The new title: “Pucks!” LeBlanc said the show is about what goes wrong with a relationship, particularly when

Tamsin Greig, Matt LeBlanc and Stephen Mangan, from left, star in the upcoming comedy series “Episodes,” premiering Sunday on Showtime. a guy with such questionable values begins to drive a wedge between the spouses. “This whole thing is about a triangle,” LeBlanc said. “Beverly and Sean come to Hollywood. He wants to go there. She’s reluctant, but she loves him. So she goes. Enter Matt Le-Blanc. There the triangle is formed ... and the backdrop is this crazy world of network TV.” Another crazy world provides the backdrop for “Mr. Sunshine,” which debuts at 8:30 p.m. Feb. 9 on ABC. In it, Perry is the manager of a San Diego sports arena, where strange requests and mishaps are a daily occurrence: An elephant gets lost; a hockey rink
won’t melt in time for the circus to perform; and the owner (Allison Janney) is a PR nightmare. As for Perry’s Ben Donovan, his focus is solely on his needs; the last thing on his mind is caring about others. That is, until he turns 40 and realizes he’s alone. “I like to say that this character is me five years ago before any possible enlightenment could have come into my life,” Perry said. “I’m very in touch with that kind of drive — a selfish guy trying to have a better life and how confused a selfish person would get if he were told that the way to have a better life was to just be nicer to people.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 3, 2011: This year, you decide to take a strong stand in your life. A personal decision or event encourages growth in a new direction. You might be quite delighted with the personal transformation. Many issues will dissolve. If you are single, you attract a whole new type of suitor. Life becomes very exciting. If you are attached, your sweetie will be adjusting to you. Be generous in spirit, as all these changes aren’t easy, and it will take time. Know that everything is positive. CAPRICORN can push your buttons. 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 Your perceptions might differ from others’. The issue might boil down to who is in charge. Maintain a strong profile and willingness to assume responsibility. Keep adapting to a changing situation. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Allow yourself to transform an opinion as your mental perception opens up. The more willing you are to see, the more open and content you will become.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Realize that in order to relate on an individual level, you need to consider options that revolve around a partnership.
Though you most certainly are versatile, you also can benefit from others, especially if they come from a different mindset. Tonight: Brainstorm away with a close associate. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Defer, and you will remain content and upbeat. You might not have all the answers, and that is quite clear — but neither do others. Don’t put them on a pedestal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Discuss a major change with a key associate, friend or family member. What you believe
is happening might be off. Take a seat in the peanut gallery and watch the story unfold in the next few days and weeks. Tonight: Work on detachment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Knowing when to put a halt to spending, overeating and other frivolous yet destructive behavior remains critical. The time has come to return to a little self-discipline. Can you do it? Yes. Do you want to do it? That is up to you. Tonight: OK, OK, one last night of being a wild thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Didn’t you make a New Year’s resolution about going in a new direction after the holidays? Well, the time has come. Tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse will put a punctuation mark on that wildness. Why not join forces and be empowered? Tonight: As you like. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HH Knowing when to pull back is instrumental to your well-being. You could be so tired and have so much to do that you might hesitate to stop. Taking a break or easing up on yourself might improve the situation. You will re-energize given some care. Tonight: Vanish while you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You know what to do and when to do it. Follow your instincts in a meeting. Not everything is as you believe. Take your time dealing with someone who might have a somewhat rogue idea. You might be revising your lists of close friends (by choice) soon enough.

Paper vs. plastic? Oregon may become the first state to ban plastic bags at grocery and retail stores.
Bags Continued from C1 Bend’s Whole Foods Market has been plastic-bag free since April 2008, said Matt Collins, community relations specialist with the store. Eliminating plastic bags prompted a few customer complaints for about a month or so, and offering only paper is slightly more expensive, but Collins said it was worth it. “There are places where you’re able to recycle plastic bags,” he said. But for the most part, a lot of them end up in a landfill.” At Bend’s Newport Avenue Market, manager Spike Be-
Photos Continued from C1 The couple opened their first whippersnappers photography studio in Bend in 2006, partly out of frustration with what they saw as the poor quality, cookie-cutter approach used by other portrait studios where they took their own children for photo sessions, Flynn said. “This is one of those stories where we came away from other portrait studios saying, ‘There’s got to be a better way,’” Flynn said. The Flynns did some research, bought some equipment and opened their first whippersnappers studio five years ago. “Here we are today with four studios, and a fifth scheduled to open in January in Denver,” Flynn said. What sets whippersnappers apart is that its photo sessions are a fun, free-flowing experience where the photographers play and interact with children and family members to create “unforgettable photographs that capture the magic of your child, your family or your life,” Flynn said. Since all the photos shot at
ment said the store has always had plastic bags, but for a while wasn’t putting them out on the check stands. Pushing paper bags was a way to support the timber industry, he said. Now the plastic bags are available on the check stands, but the store mostly encourages customers to bring reusable bags through efforts like offering free reusable bags if people spend a certain amount, Bement said. “A large number of our customers do use their own bags now,” he said. “That’s always been a positive thing.” If Oregon does ban plastic bags, however, he said it should ban them at other retail stores as well as groceries.
“I think it would be good for the environment,” he said. “If they’re going to do it, they need to do it all the way.” At the Sunriver Marketplace, manager Matt Finch said he thinks banning plastic bags is probably the right direction for the state. He is seeing more customers coming through with reusable bags, he said, and they will still have the paper bag option. “I think it’d be a good thing,” Finch said. “It’s another way we can stop putting a big impact on the planet.”
whippersnappers studios around the country are processed in Bend, Flynn said K.C. and the photo editors have spent a lot of time streamlining the photo editing and processing to consistently produce high-quality photos. Their “secret sauce” for consistent photo enhancement evolved out of that effort. As an entrepreneur, Flynn said she is always looking for a way to improve the business. When they made a pitch at the Bend Venture Conference in October with a plan to go global, offering their photo enhancement services online, five angel investors attending the meeting saw promise in Flynn’s presentation, and have since invested a total of $350,000. “This new service developed off of our brick and mortar studios, but it is a service that we plan to market globally over the Internet,” Flynn said. “We need $500,000 to go global with the online arm of the business. So far, we have raised $350,000, and we hope to have the additional $150,000 soon.” In five years, the company has grown from a staff of four in Bend, including the Flynns, to nine in Bend, plus four in their three out-of-state studios.
She said once the online photoenhancing business takes off, employment is expected to grow along with global demand for their photo-enhancing services. To free her time to develop the online business, Flynn said she recently hired an operations manager to oversee the brick and mortar photo studios. For the online photo-enhancing business, Flynn said the company’s target market is people who want to enhance their special photographs, but don’t want to spend hours and hours doing it themselves. “Our online service will target people who take pride in shooting the pictures themselves. We just make it look better,” Flynn said. “It’s a software service for enhancing photos. It’s not going to be marketed as just another do-ityourself model. It is a service we provide to customers.” For more information, call whippersnappers’ headquarters in Bend at 541-389-7627, stop by the Bend studio at 121 N.W.

Continued from C1 Quality control aside, a larger question remains: Does the act of data gathering really constitute science? “These people are not doing the work of scientists,” said David Weinberger, a senior researcher at the Berkman Center for the Internet and Society at Harvard, who is writing a book about the changing shape of human knowledge in the online era. “They are doing the work of scientific instruments.” Stephen Emmott, head of computational research at Microsoft Research, agrees that most citizen science projects tend to treat participants as high-functioning cogs in a distributed machine. “Certainly this is participatory,” he said, “but is it science?” Emmott believes that before Web users can claim the mantle of citizen scientists, they will have to be given more meaningful roles. “Participants should be able to make a genuine contribution,” he said, “and get something back.” Emmott’s team is exploring new models that would involve users in the research process without compromising academic rigor. Other researchers are looking to tap the higher brain functions of Web users. Foldit turns protein research into a game, offering Web users a puzzle in the form of a multicolored knot of spirals and clumps. Each puzzle represents an amino acid, which the user tries to fold into the most efficient shape possible. By combining computational algorithms with the visual problem-solving skills of more than 100,000 Web users, the researchers hope to pioneer a new approach to solving computational problems using supplemental human brain power. While some researchers are focused on expanding the contributions of average Web users,

End of the line? After 20 seasons Favre says it is Brett Favre was the NFL’s ultimate iron man for 19 years, inspiring coaches and teammates with unparalleled toughness and thrilling fans with a daredevil’s verve and a showman’s sense of the moment. Yet the once-irrepressible Favre never looked older or more fragile than in year No. 20. The magic of last season, and Brett Favre most of his brilliant career, never seemed farther away. It had to end some time. And Favre says that time is now. The 41-year-old quarterback sat out Minnesota’s season-ending loss to the Lions on Sunday with a concussion, and it appears that perhaps the toughest man to ever play in the NFL had his career end not on the field trying to rally the Vikings to another victory, but on the bench as a third-string rookie floundered in Favre’s place. No one — not even Brett Favre — can play forever. “I know it’s time, and that’s OK. It is,” Favre said after the 20-13 defeat. “Again, I hold no regrets, and I can’t think of too many players offhand that can walk away and say that. Individually and from a team standpoint, it was way more than I ever dreamed of.” He also retired in 2008 with the Packers and 2009 with the Jets, only to return to the field both times when the football bug bit him in the summer. He knows that there will be doubters again. “I don’t know for me if it’s ever easy,” Favre said. “I’m sure throughout this year, the comment has been made that, ‘We’ll wait and see in August or September’ and that’s fine. It’s time. I’m OK with it.” — The Associated Press

Cowboys hope struggles stay in past after solid start to season
A
fter two years of struggling to even be competitive, Crook County’s boys basketball team may be the first great prep athletic story of the new year in Central Oregon. Following a gut-wrenching 2009-10 season in which the Cowboys went 0-23 — the season before was not much better as Crook County went 3-19 — the boys from Prineville, where wrestling traditionally rules, are 5-3 this season and are currently riding a four-game winning streak. “We’ve gotten off to a good start, which keeps things exciting for the guys and the fans,” Cowboy coach Jeff Lowenbach says. “But we’re not satisfied.” Playing for the most part with the same group of players that went winless last season, the Cowboys are ranked 15th in the latest Oregon School Activities Association Class 4A power rankings and are a threat to make the state playoffs. “They’re good,” says Mountain View coach Craig Reid, whose team is expected to be a contender in the Class 5A Intermountain Conference this season and lost to Crook County four days before Christmas. “People keep asking me what happened against (the Cowboys), but they’re a good team.” Brandon Gomes, a senior transfer from Montana, and Peyton Seaquist are a pair of 6-foot-4-inch wings who provide matchup problems for teams on the perimeter, while 6-foot guards Travis Bartels, Jordan Reeher and Jesse Morales give Crook County an athletic backcourt. Seaquist, Gomes and Bartels have all been team scoring leaders in one or more games this season, and Reeher and Morales have both recorded games in which they scored 10 points or more.

Falcons, Steelers, Colts, Seahawks clinch playoff berths By Barry Wilner The Associated Press
The new year offers an enticing mix of events in Central Oregon cycling, plus many of the old favorites
T
his is going to sound like a broken record. Read my yearly looks ahead from Januaries past and they sound awfully similar: “The beloved standbys are back and new flavors are being added to the local cycling menu … etc., etc.” Well, the 2011 cycling calendar for Central Oregon is a continuation of the trend. Our favorite rides and races are set to return, including most all that we called “inaugural” in 2010. Meanwhile, the calendar grows even longer and more varied with new events. Understandably, given the weather, the year begins slowly for local cycling enthusiasts. But it picks up steam by spring, and it steamrolls forward practically nonstop from May through September. While the region has lost two national events — USA Cycling championships typically move to a new site every two years — it has gained two new ones. The cyclocross and elite road nationals have moved on, but we will once again be in the national cycling spotlight as we play host to the masters road and marathon mountain bike national championships. Central Oregon continues to be a hotbed for mountain bike racing (two races held here were the most-attended mountain bike races in Oregon in 2010). Mike Ripley, the event promoter who brought us the High Cascades 100, plans to offer a new endurance race on dirt in the year ahead. The High Cascades 24 is a 24-hour mountain bike race slated for Sept. 10-11. Riders, competing solo or in teams of two or three, will compete over a 16-mile circuit

staged from Wanoga Sno-park. Weekday racing opportunities in Central Oregon are scheduled to expand with the addition of a mountain bike short track series in April and May and a longer lineup of time trial offerings throughout the summer. Roadies can celebrate the addition of two new local races on tap: the Tumalo Circuit on June 25, and the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) criterium championships on Aug. 13. Central Oregon’s enthusiasm for the surging sport of cyclocross does not appear to be waning. Back on the schedule for 2011 are the Thrilla and Crossaflixion Cup series, and Bend will be the site of a two-day stop on the Cross Crusade series calendar in October. And I doubt we have heard the last of what’s in store for fans of cyclocross this fall. In addition to a lengthy slate of races, organized group rides continue to be a popular draw in these parts. Hutch’s Bicycles is hosting six supported group road rides throughout the year (seven including the Polar Bear Ride, which took place this past Saturday), and other popular cycling tours of Central Oregon are back on the schedule as well. A listing of local cycling events taking place in 2011 continues on Page D6. While it appears that we couldn’t possibly squeeze any more into the already jampacked schedule, I predict that the 2012 look-ahead will be quite familiar: embracing the favorites, and likely welcoming a whole new slate of rides and races.

Seattle, Indianapolis, Atlanta and Pittsburgh clinched division titles Sunday, while Green Bay grabbed the final wild-card berth. The Seahawks, at 7-9, became the first division winner with a losing record in NFL history when they defeated St. Louis 16-6 for the NFC West championship. “We didn’t get here the way we all dreamed of getting here, but we got here,” first-year coach Pete Carroll said. “When it came down to it, the guys played a great football game tonight.” The Packers beat archrival Chicago 10-3 to secure the NFC’s sixth seed; defending league champion New Orleans has the conference’s other wild card. A last-second 43-yard field goal by the alwaysclutch Adam Vinatieri lifted the AFC South champion Colts past Tennessee 23-20. Indy was assured of its seventh division crown in eight years when the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Houston Texans minutes earlier. It’s the ninth straight year the Colts have reached the postseason, tying the NFL record Dallas set from 1975-83. See Playoff / D4

Football • Edsall hired as Maryland head football coach: Randy Edsall, who diligently worked to build the Connecticut football program into a winner, has been hired to pull off a similar feat at Maryland. Edsall was picked Sunday to replace Ralph Friedgen, who was fired after a 10-year run at his alma mater. Edsall spent 12 years at Connecticut. He guided the Huskies out of Division I-AA (now FBS) and into the Big East, where he won a pair of conference titles and earned postseason appearances in each of the last four years. The 52-year-old Edsall emerged as a surprise candidate for the job over the weekend. He beat out former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who was considered the favorite when the search began on Dec. 20.

The event was open to only the top 16 Alpine skiers. Kostelic, a slalom specialist, beat Julien Lizeroux of France over two heats in the big final by a total of 1.61 seconds.

In the women’s big final, PietilaeHolmner trailed Tina Maze of Slovenia by 0.12 seconds after the first heat but came back to win by 0.47 seconds.

Police say they are searching for the pitcher in his Caribbean homeland. He was born in the northwest town of Santiago. Orioles representative Felipe Alou Jr. says he has spoken with Simon and the relief pitcher insists he was not involved in the shootings.

NHL ROUNDUP
Strong goalkeeping helps Canucks beat Avs The Associated Press DENVER — The Vancouver Canucks didn’t need their offensive stars to keep their streak going. Roberto Luongo made 31 saves, fourth-line forwards Alexandre Bolduc and Mason Raymond scored and the streaking Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 in a penalty-filled game Sunday night. Bolduc’s goal was the first of his career, and he assisted on Raymond’s tally. Raymond scored in his first game back after missing 10 games with an injured right thumb. “It’s nice to see. We’ve got guys chipping in every night, it’s not always the same guys producing,” Luongo said. “You need that over the course of an 82-game season. It’s not always going to be the same line.” Tanner Glass and Kevin Bieksa had assists for Vancouver. The Canucks have won five straight and are 12-1-2 since the end of November. Vancouver hasn’t lost in regulation since Dec. 5 against St. Louis, a span of 12 games. The Canucks are 4-0 against Colorado this season. “That’s one of the top scoring teams in the league and at the same time they are one of the best defensive teams,” Avalanche center Paul Stastny said. “They don’t just rely on one or the other. They have four lines that play pretty well and both goaltenders play pretty well. It is one of the teams that can win a shooutout game or a low scoring game.” Stastny scored his 15th goal of the season and Craig Anderson made 27 saves for the Avalanche, 1-4-1 since winning six straight. “Two games in a row we ran into some pretty good goaltending,” Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said. “Tonight, he had a pretty good night. We had chances, but weren’t able to capitalize.” There were 16 minors penalties, nine in the second period, but neither team could take advantage. Colorado was zero for six on the power play and Vancouver was zero for five. The Canucks opened the scoring seconds af-

With Bieska in the box for hooking, the Avalanche were pressuring Luongo. Kevin Porter’s wideopen shot from the slot bounced out to Glass, who started a 2-on-1 with Bolduc. Glass fed Bolduc, who beat Anderson with a shot to the far side with 1:45 left in the first period. “It hasn’t been easy for the young man, he’s been hurt for most of the time in his NHL career,” Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. Luongo was sharp throughout, and came up with some big saves in the second period.
“He’s been outstanding and he’s pulled some games out for us,” Raymond said. “It’s a club that thinks it’s great playing for a guy like Louie.” In other games on Sunday: Flyers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 Red Wings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 DETROIT — James van Riemsdyk, Daniel Carcillo and Scott Hartnell scored to help Philadelphia win for the first time in Detroit in more than 22 years.

Seahawks beat Rams to take NFC West crown Seattle first NFL team to make playoffs with a losing 7-9 record The Associated Press SEATTLE — Laugh all you want, the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks are going to the playoffs as champions of the NFC West. The Seahawks are the first sub-.500 division champs, taking the division with a 16-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday night. Their reward: a home game on Saturday with the defending Super Bowl champion Saints. New Orleans beat the Seahawks 34-19 in Week 11. Making his second career start, backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst threw a 4-yard TD pass on Seattle’s first possession, Olindo Mare kicked three second-half field goals. It makes for great jokes from critics, and the situation in the NFC Worst, er, West this season has reignited the debate whether division champs should automatically be granted home playoff games. The New York Giants and Tampa Bay have better records at 10-6, but it’s Seattle that’s playoff bound. “We didn’t get here the way we all dreamed of getting here, but we got here,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “When it came down to it, the guys played a great football game tonight.” The Seahawks aren’t apologizing. In his first season as their coach, Carroll was fist-pumping and clapping his way up and down the Seattle sideline in the closing minutes as the Seahawks celebrated their first division title since capping a four-year run of dominance of the division in 2007. St. Louis (7-9) was kept out of the end zone for the second time this season and
NFL ROUNDUP rookie Sam Bradford couldn’t complete the Rams’ turnaround from winning just one game a year ago. Bradford finished 19 of 36 for 155 yards, and threw a costly interception midway through the fourth quarter. “They played better. They won and we lost. I’m proud of the football team for what they accomplished. ... The disappointment is all we feel right now,” St. Louis coach Steve Spagnuolo said. Now the question for Seattle is who will be the quarterback for its first home playoff game since a January 2008 win over Washington. Carroll was noncommittal late Sunday night who would start against the Saints. Matt Hasselbeck was active for Sunday night and went through pregame warmups, but Carroll held to his word the Seahawks were preparing for Whitehurst to be their guy after Hasselbeck injured his hip last week at Tampa Bay.

Blazers continue home win streak
Portland beats Houston 100-85 for eighth straight at Rose Garden The Associated Press
PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers haven’t had much trouble winning at home this season. They’d like to carry that success away from the Rose Garden. LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 11 rebounds, Nicolas Batum added a season-high 21 points and the Trail Blazers beat the Houston Rockets 10085 Sunday night for their eighth straight win at home. Patrick Mills had a careerhigh 14 points, five assists and five steals, Wesley Matthews added 14 points and Marcus Camby had 13 rebounds and a season-high eight assists to help the Blazers improve to 12-3 at the Rose Garden. “When we are here at the Rose Garden we are consistent,” Camby said. “We win a couple and get momentum from it. Then we go out on the road and lose a few. We have to change that.” Portland, on its longest winning streak at home since a 12game run from Jan. 24 to March 9, 2009, has struggled with injuries, most notably to All-Star Brandon Roy, and has lost 13 of 19 on the road. After a threegame road trip that begins Tuesday at Dallas, the Blazers will be back for nine of the next 11 at home. Aldridge has continued his dominant play since Roy has been out with sore knees. He had his 14th double-double of the season and has scored at least 23 points in nine of the 11 games Roy has missed. Portland is 8-3 during that span. “Our chemistry has gotten better,” Aldridge said. “I think guys are really figuring out their roles.” Kevin Martin had 15 points to lead the Rockets, who were held well below their season average of 106 points per game. Courtney Lee added 12 points. Luis Scola, Aaron Brooks and Chase Budinger each had 10. The Rockets, coming off a 114-105 win over Toronto Friday, play the second game of a back-to-back today at Denver. With center Yao Ming out with a stress fracture in his ankle and Chuck Hayes sitting with a sprained ankle, Houston had a weak defensive presence down low, giving away too many easy

Batum scored 21 points as the Blazers beat the Rockets 100-85. baskets to Aldridge and getting outscored 46-28 in the paint. “They’ve got some trees down there,” Martin said. “But we couldn’t get enough going inside or outside. It was a bad shooting night, which is a big reason why we lost.” Houston trailed 54-48 at halftime, but Portland pulled away with a 12-0 run to extend to lead to 75-58 with 2:14 left in the third quarter. Portland went up 19 after back-to-back fastbreak dunks by Dante Cunningham and Batum, and eventually led by 23. “Just a poor effort,” Houston coach Rick Adelman said. “That is as bad as we have played all year. We were a step behind all night.” Backup point guard Mills gave the Trail Blazers a lift in the second quarter, containing Brooks on defense and scoring 12 before halftime. Portland
went up by double digits after Batum converted a three-point play to make it 45-33. Martin scored the Rockets’ last seven points of the half to cut the deficit to six. NOTES: The Rockets’ last win over a team with a winning record was Dec. 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers. ... Portland has beaten the Rockets four straight times at the Rose Garden. ...

making a season-high six turnovers in Friday’s 83-81 loss to New Orleans. He made up for that by hitting 10 of 15 shots, seven of eight free throws and grabbing seven rebounds to help Boston snap a two-game losing streak.

Continued from D1 “We’re big, but we don’t necessarily have a big guy,” Lowenbach says, referring to the fact that Seaquist and Gomes play mostly outside the paint. “Neither one of those guys is a true post. But four of our five starters can hop down there and play post if they need to. ... We’re a lot more athletic than we have been in years past.” Entering this season on a 26game losing streak that dated back to the 2008-09 campaign, the Cowboys quickly showed they were much improved from a season ago. Crook County lost its opener 54-52 to Sweet Home — last season, the Cowboys did not come within seven points of any team all season — but topped Madras 63-44 in its second game. “I’d be lying if I said ending the streak wasn’t a relief,” Lowenbach admits. “But this year’s different. From the start of the season, we rarely mention last year.” As tough as last season was for the Cowboy faithful, Lowenbach does point out that most of his contributors this season earned valuable varsity minutes last year. “That game experience went a long way to preparing for this year,” Lowenbach says. “We were pretty young last year, but we always played hard and didn’t give up.” After its win against Madras this season, Crook County lost a pair of close games to Maza-
Playoff Continued from D1 “I think it shows the resolve of this team and our fight,” Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney said. “It doesn’t matter if we’re 6-6 and we have to win our last four, we have to do it. If we have to win the last seven, we’ll try to do it. That’s just kind of what we are and we’ve been that for a while.” So Indianapolis (10-6) hosts the New York Jets (11-5) in a rematch of last January’s AFC championship game on Saturday night. Before that, the Saints (12-4) are at Seattle. On Sunday, NFC East champion Philadelphia (10-6) hosts Green Bay (10-6) after AFC West winner Kansas City (106) is at home against Baltimore (12-4). Atlanta (13-3) won the NFC South with a 31-10 rout of Carolina. The Falcons get homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and a bye next week. They open their postseason the weekend of Jan. 15-16 in the Georgia Dome. “It’s very important,” top receiver Roddy White said. “We rarely lose in this building. We find a way to win here.” Indeed, the Falcons are 20-2 at home with quarterback Matt Ryan as a starter. The Steelers (12-4) took the AFC North with a 41-9 romp at Cleveland (5-11). They edged Baltimore in the division, making the Ravens a wild card. Pittsburgh is the No. 2 seed behind New England in the AFC and will have a bye next weekend. “We love to win the division,” Ben Roethlisberger said. “This is a hard division. We hope this is just the beginning.” New England already owned the top seed in the AFC and beat Miami 38-7 to finish 14-2, the league’s best record. The Patriots won their last eight games. “The greatest advantage we have is we don’t have to play next week and we play at home the following week,” Tom Brady said, “so that’s really what we’ve earned to this point. I don’t think we’ve earned anything more than that.” When Kansas City was
ma (48-40) and Redmond (4843) before the Cowboys hosted Mountain View on Dec. 21. While the Cougars are a completely different team from the one that went 26-2 last season and came one victory short of claiming the 2010 5A state title, they are still one of the premier programs in 5A. Having been competitive in their three losses, the Cowboys finally finished a close game and shocked the Cougars 67-63. Bartels scored a team-high 21 points and Seaquist and Gomes added 18 and 15, respectively, in Crook County’s first complete game of the season. “It made everybody realize, ‘Hey, we can really do some things,’ ” Lowenbach says about his team’s victory over the Cougars. “Early on in the season, we’d compete and find ourselves in games but come up short in the end. The Mountain View game, like those early games, we competed and found a way to win.” Using the momentum from their win over the Cougars, the Cowboys went undefeated at last week’s Sisters Holiday Tournament, defeating Junction City, Burns and Sisters over a two-day period. “We knew with the work the guys put in this offseason the wins would come,” says Lowenbach, whose team next plays at Bend High on Tuesday. “I’m just pleased they’ve come as quick as they have.” Beau Eastes can be reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.com.
ripped by Oakland 31-10, it gave the Colts the chance to become the No. 3 seed. “I’m disappointed we lost, but we’ve got to bounce back,” Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles said. “We’ve got another week going. The Raiders don’t.” Baltimore defeated Cincinnati 13-7 to finish its season, while the Jets routed Buffalo 38-7. Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis doesn’t care where his team has to travel. “I think one reason why, for us, it never matters, is because our defense, we travel very well on the road,” Lewis said. “We play extremely well on the road.” They were 5-3 away from home this season. They also won a wild-card game at New England last year. The previous season, the Ravens won at Miami and Tennessee in the playoffs. The Jets won two postseason road games last year before falling short of the Super Bowl when the Colts stopped them. “We are ready to go do what we set out to do,” coach Rex Ryan said. “If somebody is going to beat us, then they must be really good.” Also in the playoffs from the NFC is Chicago (11-5), which owns the North title and the conference’s other bye. Green Bay finished second in the division and got the final wild card on tiebreakers over Tampa Bay and the New York Giants, a pair of 10-6 teams that didn’t qualify. The last time that happened in the NFC was 1991. “Tonight was a struggle, but it’s nice to keep that momentum going,” Aaron Rodgers said after the win against the Bears. “We’ve won two in a row and now we’ve got to go (on the road). And we can’t have the kind of inconsistent performances we’ve had this year that have forced us to be the No. 6 seed.” The divisional round lineup will have Pittsburgh at home Saturday afternoon, Jan. 15, followed by Atlanta hosting a night game. On Jan. 16, Chicago hosts the early game, followed by a game at New England.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP
Oregon arrives for BCS game By John Marshall The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Lining a red carpet next to a mariachi band, a group of fans broke into a cheer as the door to Oregon’s plane swung open. Sensing a chance to get a bit of the spotlight for himself, an airport worker in an orange vest raised his arms in mock triumph and mouthed sarcastic thank yous as he made his way down the temporary staircase. The real stars came next. Following the brief moment of levity, Oregon’s players filed off the plane, arriving in the desert on Sunday with a serious task ahead: facing top-ranked Auburn and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton on Jan. 10 for the program’s first national championship. The second-ranked Ducks landed about 45 minutes early and were greeted by a decentsize crowd of Oregon fans and bowl personnel, the cheers and waving pompoms a nice welcome for what figures to be a difficult eight days of preparation and trying to avoid distractions. “We’re excited to be here,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said inside a white tent next to Sky Harbor Airport’s executive terminal. “The amount of support we get everywhere, it’s an exciting time to be a Duck. And we’re going to meet them all on the 10th.” The Ducks had few problems with the relatively short flight from Oregon, other than defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti needing to get wanded because of his titanium hips. Now comes the biggest week in the program’s 115-year history. Oregon (12-0) had a fairly easy run through the regular season, crushing teams with an uptempo offense that had opponents feigning injuries in an attempt to slow it down. The Ducks had

Oregon players are greeted by the BCS championship game queen and her court at Sky Harbor International Airport on Sunday in Phoenix. Oregon is scheduled to face Auburn in the championship game Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz. one close game — 15-13 over Cal — and led the nation with 49.3 points per game while averaging nearly 540 yards. Auburn, though, is nearly as potent on offense and has Newton, the multitalented quarterback who overcame a pay-forplay plot by his father to run away with college football’s most prestigious individual award. It’s also a bigger stage than the Ducks have ever been on before. Oregon has been in the national spotlight before, just last season in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State. But the Ducks lost that game and this one has an even brighter glow, with media
from around the country descending on the desert and an entire nation of football fans watching their every move. To avoid his players thinking about the weight of trying to win the program’s first national title and potential distractions in a winter vacation destination, Kelly and the coaching staff outlined a detailed schedule almost immediately after earning the title-game bid. After busing from the airport, Kelly said the players would go over administrative details at the team hotel Sunday afternoon and will get going in earnest with team meetings today, followed by the first outside-of-Eu-
gene practice. If everything goes right, the apex of Oregon’s preparations will hit about 6:30 p.m. local time on Jan. 10. “Every day for us is extremely important,” Kelly said. “Our players’ mindset since they got back at it after finals has been the same way. We got a real good amount of work in while we were in Eugene and now we’re down here to get six or seven days of work here and we’ll be ready to play the game. No day is more important than tomorrow and that’s where it starts.” It ends in a week, with everyone watching and everything on the line.
CORVALLIS — When his team needed him most, Calvin Haynes came up big. Haynes had an assist on Joe Burton’s go-ahead basket with 28 seconds remaining, then made four straight free throws down the stretch in Oregon State’s 76-75 win against Arizona Sunday night. Haynes had 18 points, Jared Cunningham 17 points and Burton added 16 points for the Beavers (7-6, 2-0 Pac-10), who have won three straight games against the Wildcats, the longest stretch since an 11-game streak versus Arizona that ended in 1984. Oregon State coach Craig Robinson said it was nice to see Haynes have a big moment after a slow start to his season. “We needed Calvin to be in there because Jared was in foul trouble and he just played through all of that,” Robinson said of Haynes, whose scoring has been inconsistent. “He was tired, he was getting bumped around. He made his foul shots, he was making big plays. It was great to see that happen for him.” Haynes passed to Burton for a lay-in that gave Oregon State a 72-70 lead. MoMo Jones, who led Arizona (12-3, 1-1) with 20 points, missed a shot after Burton scored. Haynes made two free throws and Kyle Fogg scored on a lay-up for the Wildcats. Haynes was fouled again and made two more free throws, and Derrick Williams, who had 16 points, made a 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left. Arizona never trailed in the first half, which ended 28-28, and Oregon State never trailed
in the second half even though there were 11 ties in the contest, seven after halftime. Neither team ever led by more than seven points.

Stanford has a little Luck in facing Virginia Tech By Steven Wine The Associated Press
MIAMI — Andrew Luck threw seven interceptions and 97 incompletions during the regular season. His knowledge of the NFL is less than encyclopedic — more on that shortly — and he settled for a B in the most difficult class he has taken at Stanford, a course on mechanics called Engineering 14. Yet coach Jim Harbaugh is disinclined to find fault. “Andrew is the real deal,” Ne x t u p Harbaugh • Orange Bowl, says. “He is Stanford vs. the best player Virginia Tech I’ve ever been around, and • W h en: he’s even a Monday, finer young 5:30 p.m. man. There’s • T V :ESPN nothing about • Radio: KICE- him where I say I wish he AM 940 could do this, or I wish he didn’t do this. He is just like my wife: He is perfect. You wouldn’t change a thing about him.” Stanford’s passing paragon will take the national stage today night in the Orange Bowl, when No. 5 Stanford (11-1) faces No. 12 Virginia Tech (11-2). It could be Luck’s final college game — although only a sophomore, he’s touted as the likely No. 1 overall draft pick in April if he turns pro. The BCS game matches two teams climbing in the polls since early in the season. Virginia Tech opened with losses to Boise State and lower-tier James Madison, then regrouped and went undefeated in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Stanford lost in October to Oregon, then swept its final seven regular-season games, the latest surge in a remarkable turnaround under Harbaugh after going 1-11 in 2006. Luck was a high school junior in Houston when Stanford hired Harbaugh, who spent 15 seasons as an NFL quarterback. “I did not really know his name, to be honest,” Luck says with a sheepish laugh. “Don’t tell him I said that.” Soon enough, Luck accepted a scholarship offer from Harbaugh, and now the coach and quarterback have led the Cardinal to their first January bowl since 2000. Like Luck, Harbaugh might be bound for the NFL this year. “He’s got to do what’s best for him,” Luck says, “and I’ve got to do what’s best for me.” First there’s the matter of beating Virginia Tech, which happens to have a pretty good QB,
too. Senior Tyrod Taylor run for 438 yards this Like Harbaugh, his players was chosen ACC player season.

He’s 34-7 as a starter, and like Luck, he wins raves for his leadership. When the Hokies were 0-2, Taylor led a seniors-only meeting that stabilized the situation. “His legacy is that we’ll always be talking about Tyrod Taylor,” offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring says. “That’s probably the best compliment I can give somebody.” Luck reaps similar praise, although it’s possible he won’t leave in 2011.

Local rider spotlight: Lucas Freeman Age: 38 Hometown: Bend Occupation: Project manager for a New Yorkbased training company; local cycling blogger (unpaid) Cycling preferences: Mountain biking and transportation riding Cycling background: Freeman rode bikes as a kid in Los Angeles, but it wasn’t until he attended college in the Bay Area that he first took up mountain biking as a form of recreation. Once he arrived in Central Oregon in the late 1990s, he took full advantage of the vast playground of mountain bike trails here. Since then, Freeman has increasingly used his bicycle for utility purposes. Freeman is married with two children — a second-grader and a 2-year-old. Becoming a local cycling blogger: Over the past five years, Freeman says, he began using his bike more as a form of getting around town, rather than just as a mode of recreation and exercise. “It became my way to take my daughter to school, go get groceries or run errands,� he says. He noticed that not many other parents were traveling with their kids by bike and, after asking around, discovered a perception of fear among parents about riding on the road with their kids. He submitted an article for publication in Central Oregon Family News, encouraging parents to commute to school with their kids and suggesting that the more families travel by bicycle, the safer the experience will be for all road users. But Freeman’s passion for local bicycle transportation advocacy didn’t stop with his published article. “There were always these ideas in my head,� he recalls. “Instead of trying to submit these ideas to some publication, I decided to start writing a blog, and that was the genesis.� Bike Around Bend: Last April, Freeman launched Bike Around Bend (www.bikearoundbend.com), a website focused primarily on bicycle commuting. Freeman, who updates the site with new blog posts one to four times each week, has since expanded his blog coverage to include other local cycling-related topics. But sharing information on cycling as it relates to transportation, infrastructure and livability in Bend is his chief aim. Because the site is still relatively new, Freeman says he has not received a lot of feedback on his blog topics. However, posts related to changes in local infrastructure seem to be generating the most buzz. “I get the sense that (bike commuters) don’t know where to find out about this kind of stuff,� he says. “Bend has this funny way of distributing its infrastructure information through different committees and working groups and advisory groups. All of a sudden, something gets pushed through

Lucas Freeman stands with a laptop and his bike near his home in Bend on Wednesday. Freeman runs a blog called “Bike Around Bendâ€? that deals primarily with bicycle commuting. the channels and the people who are affected by it don’t know about it or haven’t noticed it yet. That’s what is ringing bells. “I look at myself as a bit of an aggregator.â€? Looking ahead: Freeman notes that the blog is his hobby — and that it is not a paid position. “I wish it was,â€? he adds. “There’s so much to write about. I’d love to do it full time, but I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to make enough money.â€? Freeman says he hopes to add some new features to Bike Around Bend, such as a tool that would allow users to buy and sell bike gear and equipment. He also plans to continue to focus on hot-button bicycle transportation topics in the community. “I’d love to do more in the coming year about businesses tied to cycling, and not just bike shops,â€? he continues. “There’s a lot of things going on centered around biking ‌ other than just recreating.â€? — Heather Clark

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 4/15/2011. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six- month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement.

If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE.

IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
