Bend’s dilemma: what to cut now?

City must draw line at some point, finance director says, but ‘we’re not there yet’

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Tax increases, layoffs, and reductions in employee salaries and benefits will all be on the table this week as Bend city councilors begin wrestling with a general fund deficit that could reach $27 million over the next five years.

While much of this shortfall is based upon hiring 25 new public safety employees to keep up with current service levels, city officials say there are major structural deficiencies in the budget that must be dealt with.

Simply put, revenues aren’t increasing at the same pace as expenditures, and the city and its leaders are at a crossroads.

“We can cut and cut and cut, but at some point you’re not going to be able to cut anymore, and you’re going to be faced with a choice of increased revenues or decreased service levels,” said Bend Finance Director Sonia Andrews. “That may not be acceptable to the public, but I think we need to figure out where that line is, and we’re not there yet. We have a lot of work to do in balancing this budget.”

Bend used to be able to balance its budget mainly through cuts to personnel, and since 2007-08 the city has laid off 58 employees and eliminated 49 vacant positions. But Andrews said that can only go so far before fundamental changes need to be made.

‘A huge moment’ — the railroad reaches Madras in 1911, and the city plans a commemoration a century later

By Erik Hidle • The Bulletin

n the early-morning hours of Feb. 15, 1911, a work crew appeared in Willow Creek Canyon northwest of Madras furiously laying rail in anticipation of an Oregon Trunk Railway locomotive coming down the track,

which would introduce a rail line into Central Oregon. The event would serve as the impetus for Madras to incorporate as a city.

On Feb. 19, 2011, the city of Madras will celebrate the event with a daylong re-enactment. Local historian Jarold Ramsey describes the historic day as “potentially the most momentous occasion in Central Oregon history.”

Ramsey, president of the Jefferson County Historical Society, said the arrival of the train meant the arrival of more residents and businesses.

“This is a huge moment in Central Oregon history,” Ramsey said.

Larry Long, debilitated by a stroke while using the pain medicine Vioxx, was facing eviction from his home in 2008. He could not wait for the impending settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the drug’s maker, so he borrowed $9,150 from Oasis Legal Finance, pledging to repay the company from his winnings.

By the time Long received an initial settlement of $27,000, just 18 months later, he owed Oasis $23,588.

Ernesto Kho had pressing needs of his own. Medical bills had piled up after a 2004 car accident. He borrowed $10,500 from Cambridge Management Group, another company that lends money to plaintiffs in personal-injury lawsuits.

When military investigators looked into an attack by American helicopters last February that left 23 Afghan civilians dead, they found that the operator of a Predator drone had failed to pass along crucial information about the makeup of a gathering crowd of villagers.

But Air Force and Army officials now say there was also an underlying cause for that mistake: information overload.

At an Air Force base in Nevada, the drone operator and his team struggled to work out what was happening in the village, where a convoy was forming.

They had to monitor the drone’s video feeds while participating in dozens of instant-message and radio exchanges with intelligence analysts and troops on the ground.

There were solid reports that the group included children, but the team did not adequately focus on them amid the swirl of data — much like a cubicle worker who loses track of an important e-mail under the mounting pile. The team was under intense pressure to protect American forces nearby, and in the end it determined, incorrectly, that the villagers’ convoy posed an imminent threat, resulting in one of the worst losses of civilian lives in the war in Afghanistan.

“Information overload — an accurate description,” said one senior military officer, who was briefed on the inquiry and declined to be named because the case might yet result in a courtmartial. The deaths would have been prevented, he said, “if we had just slowed things down and thought deliberately.”

Good or bad info?

Data is among the most potent weapons of the 21st century.

Unprecedented amounts of raw information help the military determine what targets to hit and what to avoid. And drone-based sensors have given rise to a new class of wired warriors who must filter the information sea. But sometimes they are drowning.

Research shows that the kind of intense multitasking required in such situations can make it hard to tell good information from bad. The military faces a balancing act: how to help soldiers exploit masses of data without succumbing to overload.

Across the military, the data flow has surged; since the attacks on 9/11, the amount of intelligence gathered by remotely piloted drones and other surveillance technologies has risen 1,600 percent. On the ground, troops increasingly use handheld devices to communicate, get directions and set bombing coordinates. And the screens in jets can be so packed with data that some pilots call them “drool buckets” because, they say, they can get lost staring into them.

“There is information overload at every level of the military — from the general to the soldier on the ground,” said Art Kramer, a

A member of the Air Force looks at live video feed from Afghanistan and other data on an array of television screens nicknamed “Death TV” at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Va. Unprecedented amounts of raw information help the military determine what targets to hit and what to avoid, but sometimes the data can be overwhelming.

“I’ll have a phone in one ear, talking to a pilot on the headset in the other ear, typing in chat at the same time and watching screens. It’s intense.”

neuroscientist and director of the Beckman Institute, a research lab at the University of Illinois.

The military has engaged researchers like Kramer to help it understand the brain’s limits and potential. Just as the military has long pushed technology forward, it is now at the forefront in figuring out how humans can cope with technology without being overwhelmed by it.

At George Mason University in Virginia, researchers measure the brain waves of study subjects as they use a simulation of the work done at the Nevada Air Force base.

On a computer screen, the subjects see a video feed from one drone and the locations of others, along with instructions on where to direct them. The subjects wear a cap with electrodes attached, measuring brain waves. As the number of drones and the pace of instructions increases, the brain shows sharp spikes in a kind of electrical activity called theta — cause for concern among the researchers.

“It’s usually an index of extreme overload,” said Raja Parasuraman, a director of the university’s human factors and applied cognition program.

Strain and stress As the technology allows soldiers to pull in more information, it strains their brains. And military researchers say the stress of combat makes matters worse. Some research even suggests that younger people wind up having more trouble focus-

ing because they have grown up constantly switching their attention.

For the soldier who has been using computers and phones all his life, “multitasking might actually have negative effects,” said Michael Barnes, research psychologist at the Army Research Lab at Aberdeen, Md., citing several university studies on the subject.

In tests at a base in Orlando, Fla., Barnes’ group has found that when soldiers operate a tank while monitoring remote video feeds, they often fail to see targets right around them.

Barnes said soldiers could be trained to use new technology, “but we’re not going to improve the neurological capability.”

On the other hand, he said, the military should not shy away from improving the flow of data in combat. “It would be like saying we shouldn’t have automobiles because we have 40,000 people die on the roads each year,” he said. “The pluses of technology are too great.”

The military is trying novel approaches to helping soldiers focus. At an Army base on Oahu, Hawaii, researchers are training soldiers’ brains with a program called “mindfulness-based mind fitness training.” It asks soldiers to concentrate on a part of their body, the feeling of a foot on the floor or of sitting on a chair, and then move to another focus, like listening to the hum of the air conditioner or passing cars.

“The whole question we’re asking is whether we can rewire the functioning of the attention

So far for magazines, tablets are a bitter pill to work with

By Jeremy W. Peters New York Times News Service

The frustration that the country’s magazine and newspaper publishers feel toward Apple can sound a lot like a variation on the old relationship gripe, “can’t live with ’em, may get left behind without ’em.”

Since Apple introduced the iPad last year, publishers have poured millions of dollars into apps in the hopes that the device could revolutionize the industry by changing the way magazines are read and sold to consumers.

But at the same time, the industry is discovering a lesson learned by music labels and Hollywood studios: Apple may offer new opportunities with its devices, but it exacts a heavy toll.

“If you look at the Apple store,” said David Carey, president of Hearst Magazines, which offers five publications on the iPad,

“the most common reason that people give an app a low rating is that it lacks a subscription option. They want to subscribe, and they don’t like the idea of paying $4.99 a month.”

Subscriptions are another sticking point. A vast majority of magazines available on the iPad must be purchased per copy.

Customers cannot subscribe and have it delivered as they can with other publications available on the iPad like The Economist, The Wall Street Journal or The Daily, the News Corp.’s new iPad-only venture that is to begin within the next few weeks. That means if consumers want to receive the magazine regularly, they would have to pay far above normal subscription rates.

“Sheer highway robbery,” read one recent comment about The New Yorker in the App Store.

“I’ll keep with my paper sub-

scription. I will never pay $250 per year for an app.”

While they are far from writing off the iPad, publishers are eagerly awaiting the development of new tablet technologies from Google, BlackBerry and others that could at least give them some leverage.

“I think that the new devices and the new Android-based devices will be as good or better than Apple long term,” said Bob Sauerberg, president of Conde Nast, which produces iPad versions of five of its magazines, including Vanity Fair, GQ and The New Yorker, but also sells applications for the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook Color and for Android-based devices.

“We feel strongly that it’s too early to pick a winner,” Sauerberg added. “The iPad is a great device with an early lead. We see a lot of other great devices.”

system through mindfulness,” said one of the researchers, Elizabeth Stanley, an assistant professor of security studies at Georgetown University. Recently she received funding to bring the training to a Marine base, and preliminary results from a related pilot study she did with Amishi Jha, a neuroscientist at the University of Miami, found that it helped Marines to focus.

Even as it worries about digital overload, the Army is acknowledging that technology may be the best way to teach this new generation of soldiers — in particular, a technology that is already in their pockets. In Army basic training, new recruits can get instruction from iPhone apps on subjects as varied as first aid and military values.

As part of the updated basic training regimen, recruits are actually forced into information overload — for example, testing first-aid skills while running an obstacle course.

“It’s the way this generation learns,” said Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who oversees initial training for every soldier. “It’s a multitasking generation. So if they’re multitasking and combining things, that’s the way we should be training.”

Intensity on display The intensity of warfare in the computer age is on display at a secret intelligence and surveillance installation at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, a massive, heavily air-conditioned warehouse where hundreds of TVs hang from black rafters. Every day across the Air Force’s $5 billion global surveillance network, cubicle warriors review 1,000 hours of video, 1,000 highaltitude spy photos and hundreds of hours of “signals intelligence” — usually cell phone calls.

At the Langley center, officially called Distributed Com-

mon Ground System-1, heavy multitasking is a daily routine for people like Josh, a 25-yearold first lieutenant (for security reasons, the Air Force would not release his full name). For 12 hours a day, he monitors an avalanche of images on 10 overhead television screens. They deliver what Josh and his colleagues have nicknamed “Death TV” — live video streams from drones above Afghanistan showing Taliban movements, suspected insurgent safe houses and American combat units headed into battle.

As he watches, Josh uses a classified instant-messaging system showing as many as 30 different chats with commanders at the front, troops in combat and headquarters at the rear. And he is hearing the voice of a pilot at the controls of a U-2 spy plane high in the stratosphere.

“I’ll have a phone in one ear, talking to a pilot on the headset in the other ear, typing in chat at the same time and watching screens,” Josh says. “It’s intense.”

The stress lingers when the shift is over. Josh works alongside Anthony, 23, an airman first class who says his brain hurts each night, the way feet ache after a long march.

“You have so much information coming in that when you go home — how do you take that away? Sometimes I work out,” Anthony said. “Actually, one of my things is just being able to enjoy a nice bowl of cereal with almond milk. I feel the tension is just gone, and I can go back again.”

Video games don’t do the trick.

“I need something real,” he said.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Facebook tale “The Social Network” won top honors Sunday at the Golden Globes with four prizes, including best drama and director, solidifying its prospects as an Academy Awards favorite.

David Fincher, directing winner for “The Social Network,” said he thought it was strange when the script came to him, since he usually makes dark character studies such as “Seven” and “Zodiac.”

“I’m personally loath to acnowledge the ... wonderful response this film has received for fear of becoming addicted to it,” he said.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, spoke publicly for the first time Sunday, leaving his wife’s hospital bedside to take the stage at a memorial service for Gabriel Zimmerman, an aide who was killed in the shooting rampage that left Giffords grievously wounded.

Kelly told the several hundred mourners gathered in the court-

yard at the Tucson Museum of Art that he had just come from the hospital and that his wife was “improving a little bit each day.

She’s a fighter.”

“I know someday she’ll get to tell you how she felt about Gabe herself,” Kelly said.

His wife loved Zimmerman “like a younger brother,” he said, and was inspired by “his idealism, his strength and his warmth.”

A soldier stands guard next to a tank Sunday in the center of Tunis.

New battle lines appeared to take shape in traumatized Tunisia on Sunday as the military backed the nascent interim government in what state media portrayed as a fight against security forces loyal to ousted President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, blaming them for the violence and rioting that has engulfed the country since protests forced him from power 48 hours earlier.

The state news reports underscored the military’s growing role in sustaining the interim civilian government, sometimes even against elements of the police force. It became clear Sunday that the military had stepped forward to help calm the streets of the capital, displacing and controlling the gangs of newly deputized police officers who had sometimes terrorized residents the day before.

Duvalier, part of a fatherand-son dynasty that presided over one of the darkest chapters in Haitian history, arrived on an Air France jet in a jacket and tie to hugs from supporters at the Portau-Prince airport. He was calm as he was led into the immigration office. He left the airport without making a statement to journalists, waving to a crowd of more than 200 supporters as he got into an SUV. “He is happy to be back in this country, back in his home,” said Mona Beruaveau, a candidate for Senate in a Duvalierist party who spoke to the former dictator inside the immigration office. “He is tired after a long trip.”

“The congresswoman continues to do well,” a spokeswoman said in a statement. “She is breathing on her own.”

The funerals Sunday marked the fourth and fifth for victims of the tragedy, leaving just one remaining, that of Dorothy Morris, 76, whose husband, George, remains hospitalized after the shooting. The date has not yet been set, said Bill Royle, a family friend, because it depends in part on Morris’ recovery from his wounds.

CHICAGO — The dismal fiscal situation in many states is forcing governors, despite their party affiliation, toward a consensus on what medicine is needed going forward.

The prescription?

Slash spending. Avoid tax increases.

Tear up regulations that might drive away business and jobs.

Shrink government, even if that means tackling the thorny issues of public employees and their pensions.

In years past, new governors have introduced themselves in inaugural remarks filled with cheery, soaring hopes; plans for expansions to education, health care and social services; and the outlines of new, ambitious local projects.

But an examination of more than two dozen opening addresses of incoming governors in recent days shows that such upbeat visions were often eclipsed by worries about jobs, money and budget gaps. Those speeches are the best indication thus far of the intentions of this class of 37 governors — 26 new and the others re-elected.

“The rhetoric has grown very similar,” said Scott Pattison, executive director of the nonpartisan National Association of State Budget Officers. “A lot of times, you can’t tell if it’s a Republican or Democrat, a conservative or a liberal.”

In Wisconsin, the new Republican governor, Scott Walker, says that any prospect of a tax increase is off the table, and that he wants to “right-size” state government, meaning, he says, that it would provide “only the essential services our citizens need and taxpayers can afford.”

In California, the new Democratic governor, Jerry Brown, lists as one of his guiding principles support for new taxes only if voters want them. And he says it

is time to examine the state’s system of public pensions to ensure that they are “fair to the workers and fair to the taxpayers.”

Though public remarks in the moments after being sworn into office may be the first signal of a governor’s true intentions, actual policies can be another matter entirely. Those can depend, not least of all, on the decisions of legislatures. And governors of all political stripes have a tendency to talk tough in their early days.

The difference now, experts say, is that the financial circumstances leave little room to do nothing, and governors will soon be tested on their words — as early as in the next few weeks, when many of them must propose budgets for next year.

While state revenues are finally starting to improve somewhat, federal stimulus money that had propped up state budgets is vanishing and costs are rising, all of which has left state leaders bracing for what’s next.

This class of governors arrives in a wave of Republican victories in the 2010 elections for state legislatures and governorships, a trend that may be affecting everyone’s approach. Even in states where the fiscal struggles have been less pronounced, new governors are sounding warnings and talking, again and again, of waste, frugality, simplicity, shared sacrifice and painful choices.

In Oregon, John Kitzhaber elaborately described the state, which needs to bridge a projected budget deficit of $3.5 billion, as an old house in need of an overhaul.

“There are too many rooms, and they aren’t the right size,” Kitzhaber said. “There’s no insulation, and the windows are drafty. And the cost of keeping this house is more than the family can afford. The roof needs to be replaced, and the siding is falling off.”

Jonathan Derow, a specialist in restoring documents and paper artworks, examines the 1770 Bernard Ratzer “Plan of the City of New York” map he helped bring back to life at the Brooklyn Historical Society in New York. Restoring the browned, cracked map, found at the Brooklyn Historical Society, entailed boiling old books to get the right aged color.

Cunning, care and luck save a centuries-old map

By Michael Wilson New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — It was rolled up among other yellowed maps and prints that came off a delivery truck at the Brooklyn Historical Society’s stately office near the East River. Carolyn Hansen, the society’s map cataloguer, began to gently unfurl the canvas.

“You could hear it rip,” said Hansen, 29, still cringing at the memory. She stopped pulling. But enough of the map, browned with age and dry and crisp as a stale chip, was open to reveal a name: Ratzer.

“We have a Ratzer map,” said James Rossman, chairman of the society, who happened to be in the building that Monday last May. That statement, despite the reverence in its delivery, meant little to the others in the room, but it would soon reverberate in cartography circles and among map scholars.

The name Ratzer is invoked as something of a Da Vinci of New

MLK Continued from A1 “Dr. King’s message was about inclusion and the recognition of human dignity, of human rights and making sure that all of our voices are heard,” said Imani Perry, an African-American studies professor at Princeton University.

“I hope people in Arizona, in particular, embrace that part of his message. The politics in Arizona recently have often seemed to revolve around excluding people.”

Today marks the 25th federal observance of the birth of King, whose words were often met with hate and resistance during one of the nation’s most turbulent and transformative eras. Today, King is one of the country’s most celebrated citizens and the only one to be honored with a national holiday who did not serve as a U.S. president.

“So little of his real politics show up in these annual commemorations,” said Morgan State University professor Jared Ball. “Instead of actually reading what he wrote or listening to what he said, we pick catchphrases and throw his name around. We all feel for the tragic incident that took place in Arizona, but this is happening to people all over the world every day in one form or another.”

Many use the King holiday to celebrate King’s life and struggle for human rights. Some choose to honor King by following the Baptist preacher’s example of service to their fellow man. For others,

York cartography, and the map was an early edition of his bestknown work: a Bernard Ratzer “Plan of the City of New York” in its 1770 state.

There were widely believed to be only three copies of this exact map in existence. One of them belonged to King George III and remains in the British Library in London, where it is displayed occasionally. The other two — one legible, the other tanned and dark with shellac — are at the New-York Historical Society and remain in storage but for two or three times a year, when they are pulled out for students.

Restoring this surprise fourth map, aged beyond its 240 years by its destructive shellac coating, became an immediate priority.

Its transformation from literally untouchable to clearly legible and mounted behind glass, to be unveiled at a private party at the society Wednesday night, involved science, patience and more than a little bit of kitchen-sink cunning,

the holiday is equal to Presidents or Columbus Day: just an excuse for a long weekend, to take a short vacation or do nothing.

Martin Luther King III, head of The King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, said the Arizona tragedy is a grim reminder that the country has not yet achieved his father’s dream of a peaceful society.

“When incidents occur like what we saw in Arizona, it shows us how much work we must do to create the kind of nation where nonviolence is embraced,” King said.

A national remembrance of the civil rights icon is an opportunity for the country to renew its commitment to King’s cause. Absent that, it’s unclear how his legacy would be remembered, said Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley.

“The holiday brought the freedom struggle into the main narrative,” Brinkley said. “The day is meant to be a moment of reflection against racism, poverty and war.

It’s not just an African-American holiday. The idea of that day is to try to understand the experience of people who had to overcome racism but in the end are part and parcel of the American quilt.”

King, who was born Jan. 15, 1929, was killed at age 39. He has now been dead longer than he lived, and each commemoration adds more distance between his generation and those who came after and directly benefited from his life’s work.

“The struggle that the holiday

calling to service, at one delicate point, boiling pots of old books used to distill the color of aged paper.

The map had been cut in long strips to facilitate rolling it up for storage. The strips were so brittle they broke when touched. It took a lot of squinting and bending, breath held in, to discover that it was a Ratzer 1770 — its name perhaps an error, as it was most likely completed in 1769.

The map included a detailed rendering of the island’s slips and shores and streets in Lower Manhattan, the familiar mixing with the long gone. Pearl, Broad, Grand and Prince lay beside Fair and Crown and the “Fresh Water” pond.

“Manhattan, at least the part shown here, was mapped as precisely as any spot on the Earth at the time,” said Robert Augustyn, co-author of “Manhattan in Maps: 1527-1995.” “There was no more beautiful or revealing a map of New York City ever done.”

itself has is to not just be a day off,” Brinkley said. “We have trouble with that. We have to constantly be vigilant not to let that happen.”

Legislation calling for a federal King holiday was introduced in Congress by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan just four days after King’s April 4, 1968, assassination. Later that same year, Coretta Scott King, his widow, started The Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in the basement of the couple’s Atlanta home.

She was also committed early on to Conyers’ proposal — an ironic tribute to a man who usually didn’t make much of his birthday. It would be another 15 years before Congress warmed to the idea and passed it into law.

President Ronald Reagan signed the bill establishing the third Monday in January as the Martin Luther King National Holiday on Nov. 3, 1983, and the first observance was Jan. 20, 1986.

That year, 17 states also had official King holidays, including Illinois, which recognized King with a holiday in 1973, the first state to do so.

More than a million Americans are expected to participate in 13,000 projects around the country on the King Day of Service, said Patrick Corvington, head of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency charged with administering service projects on the King holiday. The focus on service makes the holiday more inclusive, Corvington said.

Continued from A1 Councilors will hold their first budget workshop of the year on Friday to discuss the general fund deficit as well as other issues related to infrastructure costs, rate increases and how to proceed with the city’s 1,500-acre Juniper Ridge development.

Part of that discussion will include consideration of recommendations that came out of a committee formed last year to study how to reduce public safety’s impact on the general fund.

Today, about 80 percent of the general fund is tied up paying for public safety services like police and firefighters. The remaining 20 percent supports services like street maintenance, transit, economic development and code enforcement.

The committee’s plan, which aims to cut about $15 million out of the deficit by 2016, includes reductions in employee wages and benefits, delays in hiring police officers and firefighters, and reducing the general fund subsidies to departments like street maintenance and community development.

It also includes recommendations that would increase costs for citizens, like utility fees to help pay for transportation and public safety, or a tax on prepared food and beverages.

‘Daunting’ task But even though these costcutting measures could help close the general fund gap for the next five years, the suggestions don’t solve the city’s larger budget problems that Mayor Jeff Eager uses a single word to describe: Daunting.

“There’s going to be a push for more revenue, and in my opinion that’s a big story,” Eager said. “(But) I think the city needs to get its house in order in regard to how it spends general fund money before it goes out and asks for more money.”

There are three main causes of the city’s deficit: a low property tax rate, a large number of new programs or services that don’t have their own funding source, and rising personnel costs.

Of course, playing a factor in all of this is the recent downturn in the economy and Bend’s plummeting property values.

Bend’s total adopted twoyear budget for 2009-11 is $381.3 million, about $92 million less than its 2007-09 biennial budget. Of the $381.3 million in the current budget, about $78.7 million is from the general fund, which can be used for discretionary spending like economic development.

The general fund is primarily supported by property taxes. But Bend’s permanent tax rate of $2.80 per $1,000 of total assessed value is one of the lowest in the state when compared to like-sized cities.

During the boom years, this low rate was masked by a burgeoning real estate market and a faster-than-normal uptick in population that made Bend one of the fastestgrowing cities in the country.

But when the recession hit and growth finally slowed, the revenues couldn’t keep up with all its new expenses.

More people and more houses equaled more roads to maintain.

It also meant paying for more police officers and firefighters to keep all these new citizens and their homes safe. As a growing city, Bend also added more bigcity amenities like a transit system. It also added code enforcement and a long-range planning division to help it expand its urban growth boundary.

The problem was, the city didn’t add any new revenue sources to account for any of these new programs or employees, and today it is using its general fund to cover the costs. For instance, the city now has between $12 million and $14 million in deferred street maintenance.

Added to all that, personnel costs are growing several times more than revenues projections, and the city is in the situation it is — face-to-face with a looming deficit.

Councilor Mark Capell said finding a fix to all these problems will not be easy, especially considering there aren’t many places left to cut.

“I’m not sure what the solution is yet,” Capell said. “There are a number of opinions, and I’m not convinced one way or another on any of them yet.”

One revenue tactic he’d like to explore is retiring a $0.27 per $1,000 property tax residents pay for downtown urban renewal, and instead use those funds to help offset some of the costs to the general fund. By doing that, he said residents wouldn’t necessarily see an increase in their bills, and could even experience a decrease should the rate go below the current $0.27 per $1,000.

Eager said he’d like to focus on reining in personnel costs to stabilize the general fund before moving toward tax or fee increases. Part of the reason for that, he said, is residents will already see their utility bills increase over the next several years to help pay for major infrastructure improvements, like a $58 million to $73 million upgrade of the city water system, and might not go for any other increases in their bills.

“When you dig into the numbers — and you don’t have to dig that far — you see the driving factor is employee costs,” Eager said. “So, in order to get this budget situation in check, there’s going to have to be a serious reevaluation of the way the city

compensates its employees.”

Any change in employee compensation might have to wait, though, since contracts with Bend’s three unions are not up for renegotiation until 2012. The city has had some recent success in getting concessions from the union, and last year was able to switch fire personnel over to a new high-deductible insurance plan that will save the municipality some money.

Long-term solutions While Councilor Jodie Barram said more efficiencies need to be found, she prefers to focus on finding long-term solutions to Bend’s structural deficit that won’t require the city to make cuts year after year.

In particular, she’d like to revisit an idea to have the city annexed into a rural fire protection district that receives a property tax levy to pay for costs. The public safety funding committee first considered this idea, but left it out of its final recommendations to the City Council.

“We lost our fat a long time ago,” Barram said. “We’re skin and bones now.”

What a solution to Bend’s general fund deficit will look like is probably a combination of cuts and tax or fee increases, both of which would assume negotiations with employee unions are fruitful and voters approve the hikes in their bills.

If councilors decide to do nothing, however, Finance Director Andrews said the city can probably stay the course for about a year before layoffs and other program cuts would have to occur. She also said that while efficiencies are possible, tough choices still have to be made.

“I don’t see millions and millions of dollars in fat,” Andrews said. “I’m sure we can find little things here and there that we can continue to tighten, but I don’t believe the city has multimillions of dollars worth of wasteful spending.”

Rail Continued from A1 “When the railroad broke through is the moment things changed. It allowed homesteaders to arrive and people to know they could get their crops to market.

It opened travel to Portland and eventually to the rail lines in California. There is no question about this being the event that brought people to Central Oregon.”

Madras incorporated shortly after the arrival of the railroad,

due to the need for law and order in the frontier town.

“The reason they incorporated in 1911 was to get a police department in town,” Ramsey said. “The town was getting quite unsavory with the boost in population.

Even 2,000 people in Madras at that time was a major group of the population in Central Oregon, so it had its problems as well.”

A historical re-enactment of the train’s arrival will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 19 just west of Madras at the intersection of Canyon Road and the Willow

Creek Walking Trail. Ramsey said the location is the exact spot where Oregon Trunk Railway Locomotive No. 702 stopped in 1911 under an archway proclaiming Madras as the “Gateway to Central Oregon.”

The re-enactment will include a facsimile of the arch seen in photographs of the event as well as band music and speeches from actors playing then-Madras Mayor Howard Turner and Oregon Trunk President John. F. Stevens.

At 12:30 p.m. the celebration

will head to Metolius at the Oregon Trunk Depot. The location has no address but is located west of Highway 361 in downtown Metolius. The location is the only Oregon Trunk depot still open to the public and has been converted into a museum of railroad memorabilia.

A $5 barbecue lunch will be held at the site, along with music and a historical skit.

Loans Continued from A1 Two years later, Kho, a New Jersey resident, got a $75,000 settlement — and a bill from Cambridge for $35,939.

And Carolyn Williams borrowed $5,000 in 2007 from USClaims, a Delaware lender, while pursuing a disability lawsuit against her former employer, an Alabama nursing home.

Three years later, her case is unresolved. Her debt stands at $18,976.

The business of lending to plaintiffs arose over the last decade, part of a growing trend in which banks, hedge funds and private investors seeking untapped markets are putting money into other people’s lawsuits. But the young industry, which now lends plaintiffs more than $100 million a year, remains unregulated in most states, free to ignore the laws that protect people who borrow from most other kinds of lenders.

Unrestrained by laws that cap interest rates, the rates charged by lawsuit lenders often exceed 100 percent a year, according to a review by The New York Times and the Center for Public Integrity. Furthermore, companies are not required to provide clear and complete pricing information — and the details they do give are often misleading.

A growing number of lawyers, judges and regulators say the regulatory vacuum is allowing lawsuit lenders to siphon away too much of the money won by plaintiffs.

“It takes advantage of the meek, the weak and the ignorant,” said Robert Genis, a personal-injury lawyer in New York who said he had warned clients against borrowing. “It is legal loan-sharking.”

Colorado filed suit in December against Oasis and LawCash, two of the largest companies, charging them with violating the state’s lending laws.

“It looks like a loan and smells like a loan, and we believe that these are, in fact, high-cost loans,” John Suthers, the state’s attorney general, said in a recent interview. “I can see a legitimate role for it, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be subject to regulation.”

The companies, however, say they are not lenders because plaintiffs are not required to repay the money if they lose their cases. The industry refers to the transactions as investments, advances, financing or funding.

The argument has persuaded regulators in many states, including New York, that lawsuit lenders are not subject to existing lending laws. Oasis and LawCash have now filed suit against Colorado, asking the court to prevent the state from using lending laws to regulate the industry.

Companies also say that they must charge high prices because betting on lawsuits is very risky.

Borrowers can lose, or win less than expected, or cases can simply drag on, delaying repayment until the profit is drained from the investment.

To fortify its position, the industry has started volunteering to be regulated — but on its own terms. The companies, and lawyers who support the industry, have lobbied state legislatures to establish rules such as licensing and disclosure requirements, but also to make clear that some rules, such as price caps, do not apply.

Maine and Ohio passed the first such laws in 2008, followed

by Nebraska last year. Sympathetic legislators introduced bills in six other states last year; the measures passed the state Senates in New York and Illinois.

Harvey Hirschfeld, a founder of LawCash who keeps binders filled with thank-you notes from borrowers on a shelf in his New York office, said lawmakers have responded to plaintiffs’ needs.

“Sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time, they get in an accident, they’re out of work, they don’t have cash sitting in the bank, their

Too little and then too much in Australia

By Aubrey Belford New York Times News Service

CARPENDALE, Australia — The smashed remains of Kapernick’s Bridge — with its bent guardrails and a hanging concrete slab where road once was — are as sure a sign as any that the Lockyer Valley’s decade-long drought is finished.

Next door, at the vegetable farm of Steve Kluck, the same inland tsunami that last week smashed apart towns and killed more than a dozen people in the northeast Australian state of Queensland left a deep gouge in the earth covering nearly a hectare, or two acres.

Water is now plentiful; soil, unfortunately, no longer is.

The cost of rebuilding and future losses is difficult to calculate, Kluck said, but will probably be hundreds of thousands of dollars — still a pittance compared with the losses of some nearby farmers. And there is always the risk of more flooding as Australia’s tropical wet season drags on.

“We’re picking up all these sticks and crap up there, and she could all be bloody back

there in a week,” Kluck said.

“We can’t give you a figure” for losses, he said, “but it’s just going to be a pain in the ass for the next 10 years.”

Farmers like Kluck are among the worst hit in the multibillion-dollar economic toll of Australia’s continuing flood crisis, which has affected a combined region of more than a million hectares in five states; in the worst-hit state, Queensland, flooding in regions with a land area more than double that of California has killed at least 28 people.

Even as victims in southern Queensland regions cleaned up in the wake of receding waters over the weekend, fresh floods struck in other areas of the country.

Buffeted by a cycle of dispiriting dry followed by overwhelming wet, the farmers are experiencing a fate highlighting the vagaries of Australia’s extreme weather. At the same time, it is also adding fuel to a continuing debate over the future of intensive agriculture on a continent drier than all the others save Antarctica.

James and Carolyn Williams at their home in Decatur, Ala. Carolyn borrowed $5,000 in 2007 from USClaims, a Delaware lender, while pursuing a disability lawsuit against her former employer, an Alabama nursing home. Three years later, her case is unresolved, and her debt stands at $18,976. friends can’t help, and they’re faced with a terrible situation,” said Hirschfeld, who also is chairman of the industry’s trade group. “It’s not for everyone, but it’s there when you need it.”

High rates, low risk There was little risk in lending money to Larry Long. The maker of Vioxx, Merck, had already agreed to settle the Vioxx class action. The projected payouts were relatively easy to calculate: Long’s lawyer estimated that he would eventually get a total of about $80,000.

Oasis still imposed its standard pricing: 50 percent of the loan amount if repayment was made within six months, with regular increases thereafter.

Long and his wife resented the high cost, but they had run through their savings. Long was legally blind and needed regular dialysis. His wife, Deborah, had left work to care for him. They borrowed $3,000 in February 2008, $3,000 in March and $3,150 in July.

“We were having a crisis, and they knew we were having a crisis,” Deborah Long said.

“They take advantage of people that are in need.”

Oasis made loans on similar terms to 43 Vioxx plaintiffs, totaling about $224,000.

Orran Brown, the Virginia lawyer appointed to disburse the settlement, described the cost of the loans as “unconscionable.”

“There was very little risk of nonrecovery, but they were charging full freight,” he said.

But Gary Chodes, the company’s chief executive, said the performance of the Vioxx loans showed why Oasis must charge high rates. Eight of the 43 borrowers failed to qualify for the settlement, he said, and an additional seven did not win enough to pay the full amount they owed.

The company waived its claim against the Longs after the couple complained to the federal judge overseeing the Vioxx case. Chodes said that Oasis acted out of compassion for the couple’s personal difficulties, but that the company had done nothing wrong. The Longs asked for money, and Oasis clearly explained its terms, Chodes said. He provided copies of documents on which Long had recorded his thanks for the loans.

“We were there when he needed help with his house note and his car note and his medical bills. And he was plenty grateful at the time,” Chodes said.

Lenders more often invest in cases even earlier in the process, before a settlement is on the table.

James Giordano, chief executive of Cambridge Management Group, a New Jersey lender, compared the deals to venture capital. “It’s as if your buddy came up to you and said, ‘I’m starting a business, I need $25,000 — and, by the way,

you may never get your money back,’” he said.

Lawsuit lenders, however, are much better than venture firms at picking winners. Lenders pay lawyers to screen cases, looking for slam-dunks like Vioxx. Three of the largest companies each estimated they rejected about 70 percent of applications. Oasis said it had approved about 80,000 of 250,000 applications in recent years. To further limit losses, companies say they generally lend no more than 10 or 20 percent of the amount they expect the borrower to win.

Companies say they still lose money in a significant share of cases, from 5 to 20 percent, although there is no way to verify those numbers.

But courts in several states — including Michigan, New York and North Carolina — have ruled in recent years that individual borrowers did not need to repay lawsuit loans, finding that the apparent risks did not justify the outsize prices. The rulings have encouraged lenders to avoid judicial scrutiny.

Dimitri Mishiev, who runs Alliance Claim Funding, another New York lender, said while his prices were fair, he tried to invest only in cases he expected to be settled before trial.

“Everything that might have to go before a judge, you stay away because you don’t want the judge to be in the position of saying, ‘I don’t want that level of payment. I think it’s unreasonable,’” Mishiev said. “We don’t want judges to shine a light on us.”

Seeking state approval The industry’s pursuit of regulation on its own terms began in Maine in 2007.

Sharon Anglin Treat, a lawyer and state legislator, had proposed a bill making clear that lawsuit lenders were subject to state consumer protection laws.

She said she could not understand why the industry should be allowed to charge higher rates than other lenders.

Oasis, LawCash and other companies persuaded other legislators to reverse the intent of the bill, instead making clear that the rules did not apply to lawsuit loans. Both Treat and Hirschfeld said the debate turned on the testimony of three Maine residents who had benefited from the loans. “These are powerful companies that have lots of money, and they brought in people with these sob stories,” Treat said.

Supporters of lawsuit lending next turned their attention to Ohio, where the state’s Supreme Court had declared lawsuit lending illegal in 2003. This time, Hirschfeld said the industry asked lawyers throughout the state for examples of clients who had suffered because they were not able to borrow money.

Both chambers of the legisla-

ture voted unanimously in 2008 to legalize the loans.

Last year, Nebraska followed suit, passing a bill sponsored by State Sen. Steve Lathrop, a trial lawyer.

“My own personal view of these groups is that I discourage clients from using them,” Lathrop said during the final debate. “I tell them, go borrow from anybody you can before you have to use them.”

“But,” he concluded, “the reality is, sometimes there’s no other place to turn.”

‘They want our sheep’: Poachers prey in Britain as global food prices jump

By Anthony Faiola The Washington Post

WINDEMERE, England — The rolling hills of the English Lake District, home to the stories of Peter Rabbit and endless acres of misty farms, seem the last place on Earth for a crime wave.

But farmer, beware: Thieves are stalking the puffy white gold of the British countryside.

“They want our sheep,” said Andrew Allen, 46, surveying his flock, now thinned after the recent theft of 45 head.

Allen is one of 19 farmers to fall prey to sheep rustlers in the majestic lake region over the past 12 months, with the thefts here only one part of a bizarre surge in rural crime that has seen incidents of sheep rustling skyrocket across Britain.

The culprit? Globalization.

The ovine crime wave began, insurance company and farm union officials say, after global food prices started jumping again. With bouts of bad weather in major producers such as Russia, Argentina and Australia and increasing demand in Asia, the price for many grains is now busting past record highs set in 2008. But meat prices have also surged, particularly for lamb.

Because of escalating world demand and scaled-back production in such nations as New Zealand, a farmer’s price per pound for lamb here is now about 35 percent higher than in 2008. The 45 head of sheep stolen from Allen in late September, for instance, were worth $6,400 — or twice the price they would have fetched five years ago.

Rising prices have fueled what authorities here describe as a thriving black market for lamb and mutton, with stolen animals butchered in makeshift slaughterhouses before their meat is illegally sold to small grocery stores, pubs and penny-wise consumers.

But farmers here are counting more than lost sheep. Britain is also witnessing a surge in the

W B Chinese President Hu seeks ‘common ground’ BEIJING — Chinese President Hu Jintao, who travels to Washington this week for a state visit after a year marked by disputes and tension with the United States, said the two countries could mutually benefit by finding “common ground” on issues from fighting terrorism and nuclear proliferation to cooperating on clean energy and infrastructure development.

“There is no denying that there are some differences and sensitive issues between us,” Hu said in written answers to questions from The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. “We both stand to gain from a sound China-U.S. relationship, and lose from confrontation,” he said.

Sign of strength: Iran pushes subsidy cuts

Anthony Faiola / The Washington Post

Andrew Allen, of Windemere, England, says 45 animals have recently been taken from his flock of 600. The missing sheep are worth $6,400. theft of tractors and other farm machinery, with authorities blaming organized crime rings smuggling the stolen equipment into Eastern Europe — where farmers are rushing to cash in on high grain prices by cultivating more and more land.”

Chain reaction The rural crime wave in Britain underscores the ways in which high food prices are rippling across the world. Although sky-high prices in 2008 eased during the Great Recession, they have shot up again, in part because of bad weather, climbing oil prices and resurgent demand as the global economy recovers.

This month, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said that its food price index — which

includes wholesale costs for such commodities as wheat, corn, sugar, dairy products and meat — had climbed to a record high.

In 2008, high food prices sparked bloody riots in Africa and Asia, and even contributed to bringing down the government in Haiti. In recent weeks, food prices have again contributed to fresh bouts of unrest in Tunisia and Algeria, with some analysts fearing more riots.

Nevertheless, other experts say that abundant harvests in Africa this year, and the still relatively low prices of some grains, including rice, may prevent a more serious wave of violence from recurring this year.

“We are alarmed by the surge, but we do not yet think we have reached the point of a new crisis,” said Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist at the FAO.

“Some of the conditions that existed in 2008, like poor harvests in Africa, are not true now.”

Still, high food prices are having other kinds of side effects, such as the resurgence of rustling.

With lamb prices increasing, authorities from Australia to Turkey to Spain are also warning of thieves. But few places have taken as much notice of the surge as Britain, where sheep are as much a part of cherished country life as fresh-baked scones and clotted cream.

“We have been watching what’s happening in Britain in amazement, and wondering, frankly, why it isn’t happening yet in the United States since lamb prices are at record highs,” said Judy Malone, director of industry information at the American Sheep Industry Association in Englewood, Colo.

TEHRAN, Iran — After months of false starts, dire warnings and political wrangling, Iran has embarked on a sweeping program of cuts in its costly and inefficient system of subsidies on fuel and other essential goods that has put a strain on state finances and held back economic progress for years.

The government’s success in overcoming political obstacles to make the cuts and its willingness to risk social upheaval suggest President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may have consolidated power after the internal fractures that followed his bitterly disputed re-election in 2009 — a development that some analysts believe could influence Iran’s position at nuclear talks in Istanbul this month.

Afghan forces set to expand KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan government and its international partners are set to approve a plan that would expand the nation’s army and police forces to up to 378,000 personnel by October 2012, a 42 percent increase over the current level, Western and Afghan

officials say.

The plan, which is pending, reflects growing confidence in a training mission that for years has been hobbled by illiteracy, drug use, corruption, and high desertion and resignation rates among the Afghan security forces. At one point in 2009, more Afghan soldiers were abandoning the army than joining it.

Early Sudanese voting results point to split JUBA, Sudan — Southern Sudanese election officials posted early results Sunday indicating that perhaps more than 95 percent of voters in this regional capital voted to secede from Sudan.

The referendum, held last week, was the capstone of decades of civil war in Sudan, which pitted Christian and animist rebels in the south against Arab rulers in northern Sudan.

14,000 homeless amid persistent Brazilian rain SAO PAULO — Unrelenting rains for much of the weekend complicated the search for scores of people still missing after violent floods stirred mudslides that ripped through hillside communities around Rio de Janeiro, killing more than 600 people since last week.

The hardest hit towns — Petropolis, Teresopolis and Nova Friburgo — have been scenes of widespread devastation since last week.

The death toll climbed to 617 early Sunday, with nearly 14,000 reported homeless or having abandoned their homes, according to Rio de Janeiro State officials.

REDMOND — A meandering network of hiking, biking and equestrian trails could be on the way to an area near Redmond if plans by the Redmond Area Park and Recreation District become reality.

On mostly open land of about 2,000 acres just east of the city, the district wants to build a trail network with the help of volunteers. The trails, in some cases, would follow the paths cut by existing trails.

Much of the plan remains undefined, including funding sources and whether or not d Trails propose northeast property ownof Redmond ers — Deschutes County, Bureau of Land Management and North Unit I r r igat ion District — Inside will support • Map shows the plan. The trail network district believes it will proposed receive supnear port from Redmond, the various Page B6 groups.

To that end, the district is already working with the irrigation district and recently discussed the plans with city and county leadership. Park district leaders hope to begin building trails within a year.

Before shovels hit dirt, though, the park district is expected to continue discussions with local government staff.

County and city officials recently agreed to let the plans move that far.

“I think it’s a great idea,” County Administrator Dave Kanner said. “You have the opportunity here to have an equivalent to a Phil’s Trail complex on the east side of Redmond.”

People frequently use the area for everything from target shooting to riding all-terrain vehicles along existing paths.

According to Sgt. Ronny Dozier with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, the area is open to such activities as long as they’re done safely.

Some local pilots are concerned that a proposal to open a remote area of Central Oregon to aerial drone testing could mean they’re shut out of the airspace.

“We’re concerned that whole large area not be closed to private aircraft all the time,” said Don Wilfong, a pilot in Bend.

And while a spokesman for a national organization that represents general aviation pilots said he has not heard of any such problems at other areas where unmanned vehicle testing takes place, some local pilots remain worried.

“We’re not against drones, we’re against this proposal, which ignores a large number of existing users of that airspace,” said Gary Miller, president of the Central Oregon chapter of the Oregon Pilots Association.

The group behind the proposal, Economic Development for Central Oregon, says the intent is not to close the entire military operations area to general aviation pilots. Volunteers with the group are meeting with local aviation groups and officials, and will revise the proposal to address their concerns.

“It’s a fairly complicated proposal and in general, when we can get in front of them and explain it, they’re in support of it,” said Collins Hemingway, chair of EDCO’s aviation recruitment committee.

Local pilot Gary Miller, shown with his 1966 Cessna Turbo Centurion at the Bend Municipal Airport on Sunday, says a proposal to allow drone testing in Central Oregon “ignores a large number of existing users of that airspace.”

Sunday, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe was bustling with activity as passers-by escaped the downpour with a warm drink and a comfortable chair, or a

little browsing among the stacks. Upstairs, 8-year-old Elizabeth Lux was crafting a blank book out of an old book cover as part of the bookstore’s art weekend.

Terri Cumbie, who owns Dudley’s, said the art weekends will run every third weekend at least through the winter.

“Making art is one of the most exhilarating, emotional and thought-provoking things you can do,” she said. “You grow out of each other’s ideas.”

Cumbie said she looks very carefully at things she’d otherwise discard for their art potential, saving tea boxes and wrapping paper for possible projects. Participating in the art weekend events costs $10, or is free for anyone who brings art supplies.

While Elizabeth’s mom, Tanja Lux, and her little brother Levi, 4, read a book about a mouse on a couch nearby, Elizabeth got down to business.

She and Lee August, a friend of Cumbie’s, sat at a long table overflowing with art supplies and fashioned a small scrapbook.

Landslide closes part of U.S. Highway 20 A landslide on U.S. Highway 20 about 40 miles west of Santiam Pass shut that section of highway for much of Sunday.

Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman Rick Little estimated that the slide dumped about 150 cubic yards of mud and dirt onto the road, as well as between 12 and 14 trees. The slide took place early Sunday morning at milepost 44.

Little said he expected ODOT workers to clear the road by Sunday evening, and by around 3 p.m., they had carved out a single lane for emergency vehicles, but the highway remained closed to the public. Little said the cause of the slide was likely the high amount of rain in the area.

Man killed in crash near Metolius ID’d The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a man killed in a car crash early Saturday morning.

The man, 21-year-old Paul Miller, of Warm Springs, was found dead at the scene. Three others were injured, including a 31-year-old man from Warm

Springs and a 30-year-old woman from Salem, both with minor injuries, and a 22-yearold man from Warm Springs, with serious injuries.

Police say the car lost control after missing a turn onto Eureka Lane from Highway 361 near Metolius. The car went off the road, through a field and came to rest on the railroad tracks. Sometime later, a Burlington Northern train traveling north hit the car.

Police say alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

Snowshoer rescued at Virginia Meissner Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies and members of Deschutes County Search and Rescue treated a snowshoer for injuries and transported her to the parking lot of Virginia Meissner Sno-park on Sunday.

Around 4 p.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a report of an injured snowshoer at the sno-park’s warming shelter.

Christina Hoffman, 46, of Salem, had suffered a minor injury and could no longer walk or snowshoe, so she was taken by snowmobile to the parking lot and then transported to a friend’s house in Bend for treatment of her injuries.

Census finds increase in Oregon homes without complete plumbing The Associated Press PORTLAND — New census data shows a spike in the number of Oregon homes without complete plumbing facilities.

Oregon’s five most populous counties accounted for the entire 33 percent increase in the number of homes without plumbing from 2000 to 2009, the Oregonian reported.

States and local officials can’t explain the increase. Oregon law requires all residential construction to have indoor plumbing, and the census doesn’t count outhouses. “I have absolutely not a clue,�

Terry Swisher, Oregon’s chief plumbing inspector told the newspaper.

His boss, Chris Huntington, manager of policy and technical services for the state’s buildingcodes division, also can’t explain why such an increase occurred.

The data comes from the latest release of the American Community Survey. Complete plumbing facilities refers to hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower.

The 2000 census found 7,025 of the state’s 1,452,709 homes or apartments were without plumbing. In 2009, however, 9,397 of

1,464,196 occupied housing units did not have plumbing a 33 percent increase, according to the American Community Survey.

While the 2000 census tries to count every American, the survey works from questionnaires filled out by about one-tenth of the population at any given time.

Multnomah County held onto its top ranking among the 36 counties, with 2,355 houses without plumbing in 2009, up from 2,252 in 2000.

Even the wealthiest census tracts were affected, including a tract just west of Tryon Creek State Park and south of Southwest Taylors Ferry Road. It went from zero homes without plumbing to 16, even as the median home value went up 35 percent to more than $421,000.

Clackamas, Deschutes, Marion and Washington counties also showed increased in housing units without complete plumbing.

The state’s 29 other counties showed significant decreases: Jefferson County, for example, dropped from 834 to 85; Baker County went from having 368 houses without plumbing to 65, and Wheeler went from 29 to two.

The Associated Press Today is Monday, Jan. 17, the 17th day of 2011. There are 348 days left in the year. This is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address, in which he warned, “We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.�

ON THIS DATE In 1562, French Protestants were recognized under the Edict of St. Germain.

In 1893, the 19th president of the United States, Rutherford Hayes, died in Fremont, Ohio, at age 70. Hawaii’s monarchy was overthrown as a group of businessmen and sugar planters forced Queen Lili’uokalani to abdicate.

In 1917, the United States paid Denmark $25 million for the Virgin Islands.

In 1945, Soviet and Polish forces liberated Warsaw during World War II; Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews, disappeared in Hungary while in Soviet custody.

In 1950, the Great Brink’s Robbery took place as seven masked men held up a Brink’s garage in Boston, stealing $1.2 million in cash and $1.5 million in checks and money orders.

(Although the entire 11-member gang was later caught, only part of the loot was recovered.)

In 1971, the Baltimore Colts defeated the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in Super Bowl V, played at the Orange Bowl in Miami.

In 1977, convicted murderer Gary Gilmore, 36, was shot by a firing squad at Utah State Prison in the first U.S. execution in a decade.

In 1989, five children were shot to death at the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, Calif., by a drifter, Patrick Purdy, who then killed himself.

In 1994, a 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck Southern California, killing at least 72 people.

In 1995, more than 6,000 people were killed when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 devastated the city of Kobe, Japan.

Hostage American reporter Jill Carroll appeared in a silent 20-second video aired by Al-Jazeera television, which said her abductors had given the United States 72 hours to free female prisoners in Iraq or she would be killed. (Carroll was freed unharmed on March 30, 2006.)

California executed convicted killer Clarence Ray Allen a day after his 76th birthday.

ONE YEAR AGO President Barack Obama appeared at a rally in Boston for Democratic senatorial candidate Martha Coakley, who was running in a special election.

WASHINGTON — The summer of 2010 was the foggiest on record in the Pacific Northwest, according to a researcher dubbed “Dr. Fog� by his colleagues.

Record levels of fog were reported in Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Olympia, Wash.; and from North Bend, Ore., to Quillayute, Wash., along the coast, said James Johnstone, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Washington’s Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Oceans who’s focused on West Coast fog.

Though the increase in fog is consistent with global warming computer models for the West Coast, Johnstone said there were other factors in play, with California actually becoming less foggy as the Northwest grew foggier. “If there was an obvious connection to global warming, I would tell you,� Johnstone said. “But we don’t see any real strong evidence.�

With fog on the decline in

California there is increasing concern for the redwoods that hug a swath of the state’s northern coast. Fog is considered a critical factor in the health of the giant trees and the rich ecosystem that has grown up around them. “This system is finely tuned,� said Todd Dawson, a biology professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who’s worked with Johnstone. “It’s already been shown fog has an impact on the entire redwood ecosystem. Absolutely, this will be felt.�

Dawson also said fog has been declining along the coast of Chile, Peru and West Africa. “This could affect ecosystems worldwide,� he said.

The National Weather Service in Seattle doesn’t track fog, and Johnny Burg, a weather service meteorologist, said he didn’t have the “foggiest idea� whether 2010 was the foggiest on record in the Northwest.

O Latest efforts to restore Willamette focus on fish Project aims to increase numbers of salmon and other species, but dense population along river brings challenges The Associated Press ALBANY — The latest effort to restore the Willamette River is a plan to reverse long-term declines in native fish populations.

The Willamette Special Investment Partnership is leading the charge, after awarding about $4 million in grants to half a dozen projects up and down the river’s main stem.

The project aims to restore a significant portion of the floodplain connections that once made the Willamette a rich nursery for chinook salmon, steelhead, bull trout and other imperiled species.

But it faces daunting challenges, since the Willamette Valley is the most densely populated region of the state, with cities along the river and highly productive farm operations spread over the floodplain.

Saving the river Stan Gregory, an Oregon State University stream ecologist, said that every 40 years or so, an effort is made to save the river. Efforts go back to the 1930s, when Oregonians — appalled at the rising tide of filth that had turned the river into an open sewer — passed a referendum to create the state’s first sewage treatment standards.

The Associated Press ile photo

A fisherman is silhouetted against dark, stormy clouds reflected in the Willamette River in Portland.

The dense concentration of cities and farms in the Willamette Valley has put a strain on the river.

In the 1970s, the state cracked down on industrial plants spewing toxic chemicals into the river.

The latest effort also involves work with the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Meyer Memorial Trust, one of the largest charitable foundations in the Northwest. The board is a state agency funded by a dedicated share of lottery revenues.

The partnership is working with efforts already in place, including state and federal salmon recovery programs and efforts

Company drops plan Japanese Garden for turbines on dam looking to expand ROSEBURG — A Canadian company that wanted to install five electricity-producing turbines on a Southern Oregon dam has withdrawn the application it filed with federal regulators.

The Roseburg News-Review reported that the company at first didn’t seem to be aware of some of the legal hurdles it would face — including a change in state law.

The law was passed after salmon-killing turbines were taken off the Winchester Dam on the North Umpqua River in the mid-1980s.

The paper said Coastal Hydropower, based on Vancouver Island, wanted permission to study the project; however, the company told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in a letter recently that it was abandoning the project because of the obstacles it faced.

“This is a diverse team of people moving toward the same goal — something that we really haven’t seen in the Willamette for a long time,” Gregory said.

Cautious approach The partnership has pledged to maintain the funding — and the focus on floodplain restora-

tion — for at least the next several years.

But it also was proceeding with caution, taking advantage of the best opportunities while respecting the sensitivities of the public, said Ken Bierly, deputy director of the watershed board.

“It takes quite a bit of creativity to find ways to work with growing cities and ways to work with agricultural operations that still allow some floodplain restoration to occur,” he said. “If it were easy, it would have been done a long time ago.”

ALBANY— Oregon State University researchers have been given a $4.8 million grant to research rural childhood obesity.

The Albany DemocratHerald said the five-year program will conduct community-based research with extension offices in six Western states to study environmental causes of obesity.

It also will develop programs in three rural Oregon counties.

The goal of the project is to improve the fitness level and reduce the body mass index of rural children, ages 5 to 8. Findings will be used to develop strategies to combat rural childhood obesity nationwide.

Like many cities across the country, Bend is faced with a range of increasing costs related to the water supply. Under pressure from new federal regulatory requirements and an aging infrastructure, the City must now cover the expense of new surface water treatment and transmission line replacement.

Last November, the City Council voted to keep the City’s Bridge Creek water source instead of moving to use only groundwater. Over the past 30 years, a variety of experts have done three separate studies on the City’s water supply. All have concluded that the most cost-effective, efficient and reliable way to provide water to residents is by keeping the City’s dual sources of surface water from Bridge Creek and groundwater from wells.

The $58 million Surface Water Improvement Project will address the issues of aging infrastructure and Federal regulations. It replaces the two pipelines that bring water into the city that were built in the 1920s and 1950s. It also includes a water treatment plant that meets the Federal water treatment regulations that take effect in 2012.

As a resource, water has always been undervalued.

Nowhere in the world is safe drinking water more available at an extremely low cost than in the United

SPRINGFIELD — An administrative law judge has ruled that a downtown Springfield strip club should be allowed to keep its liquor license.

Judge Alison Greene Webster says the operators of the Silver Lace Club aren’t to blame for problems that have brought police out to the establishment multiple times over the past two years.

The Register-Guard reported that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has the final say in renewing the license. OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott says the board rarely overrules decisions such as this.

The commission had told club owners last February that it planned to revoke the bar’s liquor license after a review of police reports found “a history of serious and persistent problems at the premises.”

PORTLAND — The Portland Japanese Garden wants to expand with a public teahouse, more room for classes, a new gift shop and improved ways of experiencing Japanese culture.

Garden officials have asked world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma to lead the project.

Kuma and the garden’s staff will soon work together to finalize the design. They’ll work within the goals outlined in a 2007 master site plan. The plan leaves the existing gardens alone.

Japanese Garden spokeswoman Melissa Wilmot told the Oregonian newspaper that the expansion plan includes some new garden spaces, but the focus will be on enhancing cultural experience.

States. Bend is no different, and residents expect that when they turn on the tap, do their laundry, wash their cars, run their sprinklers or fight a fire, that a steady stream of clean water will be waiting for them.

Woodstove buy back Did you know that before you sell a home you must remove old, polluting woodstoves and fireplace inserts that are not certified? It’s part of the Oregon “Heat Smart” Law that went into effect August 1, 2010. This new law is designed to protect homebuyers and clear the air of unnecessary wood smoke pollution. It requires the removal and decommissioning of any uncertified woodstove or fireplace insert from a home when it is sold. The City of Bend has had a similar measure in place for over 15 years.

If you are selling your home or just wanting to upgrade to a certified woodstove or insert, the City has a woodstove buyback program in place to help mitigate the costs of removal of the non-certified equipment. $150 is available to a limited number of people who qualify for our program and are willing to recycle their non-certified woodstove or insert. The non-certified equipment must currently be in use within the city limits. The program is for

Time to close phone loophole

S

ince the beginning of 2010, state law has barred motorists from using hand-held phones ... sort of.

The law, passed by the 2009 Legislature, contains a list

of exceptions, some of which make sense. Few Oregonians, we suspect, would want to apply the ban to a person summoning medical help if nobody else in the vehicle is capable of doing so.

Not all exceptions are created equal, however. Lawmakers also decided to give the green light to any person “operating a motor vehicle in the scope of the person’s employment if operation of the motor vehicle is necessary for the person’s job.” This loophole alone makes the law something of a travesty. The Legislature passed the law because members consider driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on a phone dangerous. Since when is endangering other people OK as long as you happen to be on the job? Perhaps more than anyone else, Oregonians who drive and phone for a living ought to invest in hands-free devices.

This loophole did not exist in the legislation as it was introduced two years ago. But as an industry lobbyist explained at a February 2009 committee meeting, the employment exception was whipped up to address the concerns of a small number of professionals, particularly those who drive utility vehicles, taxi cabs and tow trucks. They frequently use their phones to determine the locations of power outages, broken-down vehicles and so forth.

Legislators relented, though they shouldn’t have. The bill, as introduced, did not prohibit any of those people from using cell phones while driving.

It simply prohibited them from using hand-held phones.

Being clever, moreover, people have a tendency to stretch loopholes

to fit their needs, as acknowledged at a later committee meeting by Rep. Mike Schaufler, D-Happy Valley. Schaufler at the time was discussing an exception that allows drivers to handle phones while “activating” them, but his confession could apply just as well to all exceptions: “People will stretch this language as far as they humanly can. ... (and) if I can get around the law, like everybody else and their dog, by god, I’ll probably do it, too.”

We’ve seen a lot of people driving while phoning since the law went into effect, and precious few of them have been behind the wheel of a tow truck, a cab or a utility vehicle. Bend police officers apparently have seen quite a few as well, as they issued 389 citations and 132 warnings in 2010 for improper phone use. Some of these car babblers might not care about the law, of course. But others might assume, mistakenly, that any job-related phone calls are OK. And some, falling prey to the impulse Schaufler describes, probably assume that, if stopped, they can point to the vague exception and claim plausibly to have been confused.

Whatever the case, none of them need to use hand-held devices.

For that reason, lawmakers this year should approve Senate Bill 407, which would eliminate the employment loophole. If lawmakers have time during the coming busy session to fight over plastic shopping bags, they certainly have time to fix a problem that endangers public safety.

Legislation is not a conversation R

ep. Mitch Greenlick may be known for his quixotic mission to give Oregon an official state soil, but his interests really range much more broadly than that.

Greenlick, D-Portland, also would like to tax sugar-sweetened beverages at a rate of six cents per can. The bill, HB 2644, would allow local governments to tax soda, too.

But one new tax just isn’t enough, so Greenlick would like to increase the state cigarette tax — because he cares about public health — and require a permit (and fee) for the use of studded tires.

But none of this is why people in Portland are mad at Greenlick these days. They’re mad, rather, because he’s introduced legislation that would prohibit people from carry-

ing kids younger than 6 on a bicycle or in a trailer pulled by a bicycle.

Greenlick was motivated to do this after reading an Oregon Health & Science University study indicating that many bike commuters suffer traumatic injuries, according to The Oregonian.

Of course, Greenlick isn’t aware of any studies that suggest that it’s dangerous for cyclists to pull kids in trailers. The legislation, he claims, is just a way to start a conversation.

If they didn’t before, the people in Greenlick’s district now know that you get the representation you vote for. As for the rest of us, let’s hope Greenlick doesn’t get the itch to start a conversation on global warming.

He might try to ban breathing or, at the very least, tax it.

Civility threatened by narcissism P DAVID resident Barack Obama gave a wonderful speech in Tucson, Ariz., on Wednesday night. He didn’t try to explain the rampage that occurred there. Instead, he used the occasion as a national sabbath — as a chance to step out of the torrent of events and reflect. He did it with an uplifting spirit. He not only expressed the country’s sense of loss but also celebrated the lives of the victims and the possibility for renewal.

Of course, even a great speech won’t usher in a period of civility. Speeches about civility will be taken to heart most by those people whose good character renders them unnecessary. Meanwhile, those who are inclined to intellectual thuggery and partisan one-sidedness will temporarily resolve to do better but then slip back to old habits the next time their pride feels threatened.

Civility is a tree with deep roots, and without the roots, it can’t last. So what are those roots? They are failure, sin, weakness and ignorance.

Every sensible person involved in politics and public life knows that their work is laced with failure. Every column, every speech, every piece of legislation and every executive decision has its own humiliating shortcomings. There are always arguments you should have made better, implications you should have anticipated, other points of view you should have taken on board.

Moreover, even if you are at your best, your efforts will still be laced with failure. The truth is fragmentary, and it’s impossible to capture all of it. There are competing goods that can never be fully reconciled. The world is more

BROOKS

complicated than any human intelligence can comprehend.

But every sensible person in public life also feels redeemed by others. You may write a mediocre column or make a mediocre speech or propose a mediocre piece of legislation, but others argue with you, correct you and introduce elements you never thought of. Each of these efforts may also be flawed, but together, if the system is working well, they move things gradually forward.

Each individual step may be imbalanced, but in succession they make the social organism better.

As a result, every sensible person feels a sense of gratitude for this process. We all get to live lives better than we deserve because our individual shortcomings are transmuted into communal improvement. We find meaning — and can only find meaning — in the role we play in that larger social enterprise.

So this is where civility comes from — from a sense of personal modesty and from the ensuing gratitude for the political process. Civility is the natural state for people who know how limited their own individual powers are and know, too, that they need the conversation. They are useless without the conversation.

The problem is that over the past 40 years or so, we have gone from a cul-

ture that reminds people of their own limitations to a culture that encourages people to think highly of themselves.

The nation’s founders had a modest but realistic opinion of themselves and of the voters. They erected all sorts of institutional and social restraints to protect Americans from themselves. They admired George Washington because of the way he kept himself in check.

But over the past few decades, people have lost a sense of their own sinfulness. Children are raised amid a chorus of applause. Politics has become less about institutional restraint and more about giving voters whatever they want at that second.

So, of course, you get narcissists who believe they or members of their party possess direct access to the truth.

Of course you get people who prefer monologue to dialogue. Of course you get people who detest politics because it frustrates their ability to get 100 percent of what they want. Of course you get people who gravitate toward the like-minded and loathe their political opponents. They feel no need for balance and correction.

Beneath all the other things that have contributed to polarization and the loss of civility, the most important is this: The roots of modesty have been carved away.

President Obama’s speech in Tucson was a good step, but there will have to be a bipartisan project like comprehensive tax reform to get people conversing again. Most of all, there will have to be a return to modesty.

Martin Luther King’s words are still relevant today

By Rev. Heather Starr Bulletin guest columnist

W

hen the Montgomery Bus Boycott began in 1955, the Rev. Martin Luther King, 26, had only just completed his first year serving his first congregation. At the hastily called mass meeting of organizers, King walked in late. Within moments King was elected to head a brand-new organization — the Montgomery Improvement Association, or MIA — to run the bus boycott. At this point in his life, King’s father, known as Daddy King, was still balancing his son’s checkbook for him; the younger King had only just become a father himself — less than three weeks earlier.

At first, all the MIA asked for was specifically — reserved, segregated seating for blacks and whites — to not have a potentially conflict-causing area where the blacks would have to move when the white-only area was filled. Their negotiating skills were innocent and untried.

After one session, King called back one of the white negotiators to apologize for

having been so hot-headed. King and his colleagues didn’t really know what to ask for, what a realistic dream might be. Only in conversation with lawyers and as a federal legal challenge unfolded did they, over the course of a year, turn the bus boycott into a clear demand for desegregation of the buses. “Only the rarest and oddest of people saw historical possibilities in the bus boycott,” writes eminent historian Taylor Branch (“Parting the Waters,” page 144).

The tendency for us now is to look back, with hindsight that is 20-20, and say of course that is what needed to happen, of course the events of the 1950s and ’60s ultimately meant positive movement toward a more egalitarian society. But at the time, precisely what needed to happen was not clear. In his first meeting with singer Harry Belafonte — the beginning of what would lead to years of crucial financial support for civil rights efforts — King said repeatedly: “I need your help. I have no idea where this movement is going.”

IN MY VIEW Where it was going would be in response to King’s core belief that all people deserve to be treated with dignity, and that a society in which we treat one another with respect and dignity is not only possible, but necessary for any of us to respect ourselves. “I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be,” King preached. “This is the way our world is made. No individual or nation can stand out boasting of being independent. We are interdependent.” (“The Words of Martin Luther King, Jr.,” page 21).

What dignity meant then, over 50 years ago now, has not actually changed much.

Living with dignity means being able to obtain work to support one’s family.

Living with dignity means being able to move freely, to take public transportation, and drive through one’s town in safety and with confidence, “with one’s head held high.” Living with dignity means

not being in constant fear of harassment, arrest, intimidation, attack or embarrassment. Living with dignity means being able to meet one’s basic needs, being able to be a valued participant in a community of peers.

Today, in terms of the complexities of our current immigration system and all the problems with it, we can get stymied, overwhelmed by the details, as if we are waiting for it to become more ... well, more black-and-white.

I’m afraid that, in the midst of my reviewing of the beginning of the civil rights era, the Jan. 8 shooting of 19 people in Arizona only underscored what I already sensed to be true: We must not wait for things to become more violent or more polarized before we respond, before we give our full attention to the tensions in our communities today. One person may act alone, but he does not exist in a vacuum; we are all influenced by the sentiments expressed and events that transpire in the world around us.

To paraphrase King in my own words,

I know that I can never be at peace in my home and my heart if others in my own community, in this small world that we share, are not at peace in their homes and their hearts. While our country moves slowly and painfully toward recognizing the need for change on many levels, there are things we can do locally.

We can ask ourselves and our neighbors: What is happening, right now, that must be named and addressed? What can we do now, in our own ways, in our own time and our own place, rather than turn away from and tune out the fervent, complicated needs of our communities today?

Right now is your opportunity to step beyond the framework of your one life and be a part of bringing about real dreams for one another. In King’s words: “Now is the time.” Now is the only time we have.

O Bookstore Continued from B1 The pair selected flowery paper to reappoint the inside and outside of an old hard-bound cover.

Once they’d glued the paper to the cover, they set about punching small holes into the book’s spine and into blank sheets of paper.

Then, using red thread, the pair stitched the paper into the cover.

They added a pocket on the inside cover, and Elizabeth cut out shapes to create a design on the front cover.

“You can use it like a scrapbook,” August told Elizabeth, who concentrated very hard on the art project. “You can paste in things you like to keep, maybe movie tickets, or nice thoughts. You can save certain pictures.”

Elizabeth and her family came upon the art weekend by accident.

“We were going to the bathroom and saw it,” she said.

Her dad, Tom Lux, explained.

“We are visiting from Portland, and we came to ski at Mount Bachelor, but the rain prevented us going up today,” he said. “We skied yesterday, and today we decided to visit Bend’s downtown.

And we happened upon Dudley’s fantastic bookstore. We stopped in to go to the bathroom and found this bookmaking station.”

Elizabeth said she’s only ever made small books out of paper before, but never something with a hard cover.

August worked with a group of young filmmakers Saturday, who filmed the process as she taught them to make the books.

“We use discarded books that won’t sell,” she said. “You just take an X-ACTO knife and cut out the pages and go from there.”

A young bookmaker puts the finishing touches on her first book at Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe in Bend on Sunday afternoon.

Drones Continued from B1 Hemingway and other members of the committee are seeking support from federal lawmakers and the Federal Aviation Administration to open a military operations area currently used by the Air National Guard for testing of the drones’ operations, including surveillance technology. Testing would not include munitions, which would have to be tested at a bombing range.

The unmanned aircraft are currently prohibited from flying in general airspace, and testing is usually allowed only in restricted military airspace, unless companies obtain special certificates.

The military operations area where testing would occur under the proposal covers a large expanse of land in eastern Deschutes County, southern Crook County, western Harney County and northeastern Lake County.

Miller was initially upset that Hemingway’s group did not contact some pilots earlier about the proposal. On Friday, Miller said he was hopeful EDCO would work out a proposal that would satisfy pilots, but he is waiting to see that in writing.

“We’ll be working with them more (this) week, and hopefully we can make sure everyone is happy,” Miller said.

Airspace access a concern Miller said he flies a dozen times a year through the airspace where unmanned vehicle testing might occur, and many pilots cross it going from Bend to Idaho.

— Orlando Wells, Susannah York’s son

Disability didn’t hinder adventurous Congressman Howard Pollock

Actress Susannah York appears in an off-Broadway production of Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” in New York City in 1981. York died Saturday of cancer in London at the age of 72, it was announced by her son, the actor Orlando Wells. York had a string of leading roles in the late 1960s and was best known for her Oscar-nominated role in the 1969 hit “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”

Actress Susannah York was an Oscar nominee

By Gregory Katz The Associated Press

LONDON — British actress Susannah York, one of the leading stars of British and Hollywood films in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has died in London. She was 72.

York received an Oscar nomination in 1970 for her role in “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” and also appeared in the classic “A Man For All Seasons” before going on to play Christopher Reeve’s biological mother in the Superman series of movies.

She died of cancer Saturday at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Her son, the actor Orlando Wells, said York was an incredibly brave woman who did not complain about her illness and a “truly wonderful mother.” He said she went into the hospital on Jan. 6 after experiencing shoulder pain.

York had a long, distinguished career on film, television and on stage, but she is

tary operations area would be temporarily closed at times for testing, Miller said, although the group has also said it only wants a portion designated for testing.

“It’s solvable; we just want to solve it,” Miller said.

Wilfong said he was mostly concerned about the safety of drone testing and how much of the military area would be closed off. However, Wilfong was encouraged about EDCO’s intentions after meeting with them last week.

“I just think it needs some definite consideration of making the airspace safe for all users,” Wilfong said of the proposal. “I feel like we’ve got their attention now.”

For AirLink Critical Care Transport, the biggest question is how drone testing would affect its medical helicopter operations from Bend to Burns.

Although the area is sparsely populated, the emergency air ambulance service responds to incidents that range from car collisions to ATV accidents.

Dustin Duncan, AirLink services manager, said he has the same questions as private pilots, such as how big the testing area will be. AirLink staff also need to know who to contact, in the event that they need to respond to an incident in the area while drone testing is under way, Duncan said.

“I’m not against it, by any means,” Duncan said. “(But) there are still some questions that need to be answered.”

So far, testing of unmanned aerial vehicles has not closed off large amounts of airspace to private pilots, according to a spokesman for a national organization that represents general aviation owners and pilots.

“To the best of my knowledge, we have not heard, as an asso-

best remembered for her early roles, when she had an immediate impact that started with her 1963 role as Albert Finney’s love interest in the memorable period piece romp “Tom Jones.”

With its tongue-in-cheek sensuality and gentle send-up of the British aristocracy, the film is remembered as an early landmark in 1960s cinema, and York’s unmistakable presence added to its appeal. Her long blond hair, stunning blue eyes and quick-witted repartee brought her a string of excellent roles.

York acted with major stars like Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and many others, stirring some controversy with her daring portrayal of a lesbian in the 1968 drama “The Killing of Sister George.”

In 1972, York won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. Her film work tailed off as London’s “Swing-

ing Sixties” era faded into cultural history, but she returned to play Superman’s mother.

York branched out into television and stage work, earning a number of accolades and awards throughout her long career. She made appearances in several successful TV shows including “The Love Boat” in the U.S. and “Holby City” in Britain.

Her stage work continued for much of her career and included several one-woman shows.

British director Richard Bracewell, who worked with York later in her career, described her as “electrifying” once the cameras started to roll.

Wells said his mother was incredibly versatile throughout her working life.

“There was the glamorous Hollywood aspect — she has worked with everyone from John Huston to Sydney Pollack — as well as the big commercial films like ‘Superman,’” he said.

The T-20 unmanned aerial vehicle, made by Arcturus UAV. If drone testing is approved in Central Oregon airspace, this is the aircraft Arcturus would fly in the area, according to engineer Eric Folkestad. ciation, of significant problems with use of airspace being denied to pilots,” said Chris Dancy, a spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

If a large area were closed off to general aviation pilots, that “could cause significant deviations to get around the space,” Dancy said. Pilots would use more fuel, and the length of the flight would increase.

Dancy said he also hasn’t heard of collisions or close calls between general aviation aircraft and drones.

“As long as someone is making sure the remotely piloted vehicle is in sight and not creating a hazard for civilian aircraft, it is possible for them to mix,” Dancy said.

Plan faces changes — and opposition Hemingway said Economic Development for Central Oregon has addressed most of the concerns raised by pilots, including that testing not occur around U.S. Highway 20 and

U.S. Highway 395.

“Primarily, it comes down to keeping the proposed test area away from the airports, away from the cities, away from the standard navigation routes and away from the roads that are generally used by pilots using visual navigation,” Hemingway said.

The economic development group’s volunteers probably didn’t explain the complex proposal as well as they could have early on, Hemingway said.

But he said going public with it brought in a lot of feedback that will improve the proposal. One change will be to make it less specific.

“We’re just going to say, ‘This is what we want to do, figure out how to make it work,’” Hemingway said.

In Bend, two peace activists said they oppose the military use of unmanned aerial vehicles and do not want them to be tested in Central Oregon.

“We’re spending all this money on the military and by doing it in Central Oregon, we’re en-

Howard Pollock’s right hand was blown off in a World War II grenade accident, but that didn’t stop him from hunting antelope left-handed or from fishing for marlin or from heading north to live in the far-flung territory of Alaska, where he and his wife built a cabin on 80 wild acres south of Anchorage.

Nor did his missing hand interfere with his political ambitions. Wearing a metal prosthesis and occasionally introducing himself as Captain Hook, Pollock served in Alaska’s territorial and state legislatures before he was elected in 1966 as the frontier state’s second-ever congressman.

Pollock, a Republican who followed his four-year House service with a long career in Washington, including as president of the National Rifle Association and founder of a scuba-diving club for members of Congress, died Jan. 9 in Coronado, Calif.

He was 90 and had pneumonia.

“I’ve never felt crippled,” he told The Washington Post after earning a black belt in taekwondo at 75. “I’ve had to accommodate to some things. I can’t walk on my hands anymore,” he said.

“But otherwise, I believe in what Al Jolson said: ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet.’”

The road to Alaska Howard Wallace Pollock was born April 11, 1920, in Chicago.

He grew up in New Orleans, won a Mississippi state boxing title in junior college and then went overseas with the Navy during World War II. The grenade that took his right forearm exploded during a training exercise in the South Pacific on Easter Sunday 1944.

After a long convalescence, he and his first wife, Maryanne Passmore Pollock, headed north in search of something new.

They drove up the recently completed Alaska Highway, a narrow gravel ribbon through

dorsing what we’re doing nationally,” said Meg Brookover, who is a member of Code Pink and the peace and justice team at First Presbyterian Church.

It doesn’t have to be that way, she said. “We can have our own philosophical higher ground.”

Thiel Larson, a member of the same groups, also opposes the testing proposal.

“I am against that because I really do feel there’s a really, really small percentage of drones used for nonmilitary work,” Thiel said. “I just believe that we should not be in the business of encouraging a war tool to be tested in our own airspace.”

Hemingway was familiar with Larson and Brookover’s concerns.

“They’re raising probably the most complicated question man has ever dealt with, which is how do we use our technology only for good,” Hemingway said.

Early in the history of aviation following World War I, airplanes were mostly used by the military, Hemingway said. Now, they are predominantly used by civilians, and the same evolution could take place with drones, he said.

Canada’s forests, and made a home in a place called Rabbit Creek.

He first encountered politics on a lark, his family said, when a friend dared him to run for mayor of Anchorage.

Pollock lost that first race, but not by much, and within several years, he had won a seat in the territorial legislature.

A career in politics Juggling politics and school — he earned a law degree from the University of Houston and a master’s degree in industrial management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — he joined a cadre of young Alaskans, including future Sen. Ted Stevens, who worked for statehood in the 1950s.

After Alaska entered the union in 1959, Pollock was one of nine people — five Republicans and four Democrats — who ran for governor in 1962.

Pollock lost the gubernatorial race in the primary but served twice in the state legislature.

In 1966, he beat Democratic incumbent Ralph Rivers in a race to become Alaska’s sole congressman.

After two terms in Washington, Pollock gave up his House seat to run a second time for governor of Alaska. After he lost in the Republican primary, he found a job in the Nixon administration as the deputy administrator of a new agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In that role, Pollock, helped guide federal fisheries policy and started a congressional scuba-diving club to help educate lawmakers about ocean conservation, he said.

He left federal service in 1983 and served two years as president of the National Rifle Association. Afterward, he worked as an international management consultant, a lobbyist (his clients included anti-communist rebels in Angola) and a safari booking agent.

Continued from B1 ATVs, he said, cannot be ridden on roads open to regular traffic.

Some of that use has begun to damage the area, in particular along the canal, so the district’s proposal includes building a fence with openings for biking and hiking trails down the middle of the property, That would keep some motorized traffic from crossing the property to the canal, according to Katie Hammer, the park district’s executive director.

Months of planning still remain. Hammer and her staff

have not yet budgeted the project because they wanted to meet first with county and city leaders.

With that done, work on the budget and raising money should soon begin to take shape, Hammer said.

Redmond City Councilor Ed Boero worried during a recent meeting that people who like to ride ATVs or shoot in the area will be pushed out by the trails.

Boero backs discussions between city and park district staff, but he was conditional in his support.

“I want to make sure there are areas for people to (ride and shoot),” Boero said. “People in our area like to do that.”

The park district has drawn a trail map, but nothing is finalized

The Associated Press PORTLAND — A Pacific storm sweeping through the Northwest brought heavy rain to Washington and Oregon over the weekend, causing landslides that shut down roads across the region and threatening to top rivers already swollen with snowmelt.

In addition to the landslide that closed U.S. Highway 20 near Santiam Pass on Sunday, slides also closed sections of three southwest Washington highways: State Route 14 near Cape Horn, State Route 411 in Kelso and State Route 508 at Bear Canyon.

Kyle Foreman, Grant County’s public information officer, said two people were injured when their cars were struck by a rockslide about

two miles north of Soap Lake in Washington. The rockslide also forced the closure of State Highway 17.

The rain threatened to push some rivers and streams over their banks at a time when many waterways were rising because of warming temperatures and melting snow. Some rivers in Washington and Oregon had reached flood stage, and more were expected to rise above that level through Tuesday.

“Flooding could wind down as early as (this) morning in some areas, but others may not see that until Tuesday,” since it takes time for water to flow through some of the bigger rivers, said Dennis D’Amico, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle.

Weather Continued from B1 Temperatures today are expected to reach a high of 50 degrees before dropping to about 34.

On Tuesday, Solomon said the area can expect an increase in cloud cover and a chance of snow in the morning before it turns to rain during the day, with highs expected around 48 and the low around 28 degrees.

“Right now, we’re not looking at any significant accumulations,” he said. “Right now, we’d probably be lucky if we see an inch or so.”

From Wednesday on, the precipitation is expected to stop, with partly cloudy skies sticking around through the weekend.

Temperatures are also expected to be mild, with highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s overnight.

“By Wednesday, we should see some improving conditions,” Solomon said.

about the plans, Hammer said.

Some areas, she said, could remain open to motorized vehicles.

The western half of the property is owned by the county and will eventually be brought into the city limits. Once inside the city, the property is slated for mixed-use developments that could include housing and schools.

That development is unlikely to happen in the near future, so Hammer hopes to make it easier for bikers and hikers to use the area.

“The goal is to have a recreational area,” she said.

ROAD TO GREEN Bend’s new Toyota Scion dealership seeks LEED, will join handful of others

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

ars sold at the new Toyota Scion of Bend still have that new-car smell. But walk into the dealership, and there’s none of the new-building scent often associated with fresh paint and carpeting.

“When you walk in here, you smell nothing,” said Robert Durfee, manager and one of the dealership’s owners.

As part of the dealership’s efforts to construct an environmentally friendly building, he said it used paints low in volatile organic compounds that can result in harsh odors.

“It’s a really healthy place to work and do business,” Durfee said.

The $13 million Toyota dealership, which opened three weeks ago and has been advertising its green and energy-efficiency features, was designed and constructed with the goal of meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. The building is still under review from the LEED program, but Durfee said he expects it to receive LEED gold certification, making it one of a handful of Toyota dealerships in the nation to achieve that standard.

It’s the direction that Toyota is going, he said.

“We’re on the cutting edge of where they want everybody to be,” Durfee said.

Many in Bend are environmentally conscious, so it also was a route the dealership felt would resonate with the community, he said. So far, he estimated about 20 percent of the people who have visited the dealership since its opening have mentioned and appreciated the green aspect.

“Although it’s a little more expensive route to take, we thought the community would support it,” he said.

The dealership still sells big trucks and SUVs — some buyers, from builders to large families, still need big vehicles, Durfee said.

Bytes and Beethoven Quartet displays how technology is reshaping tradition of classic orchestra

By Daniel J. Wakin New York Times News Service

GREEN

BOSTON — With a slight blue glow bathing their faces, the four musicians tapped their feet. It was not to keep time but to send pages of music flying by electronically on their stands.

The Borromeo String Quartet was rehearsing Beethoven’s Quartet in C (Op. 59, No. 3) last week. But instead of reading parts perched on music stands, they followed B e e t hove n’s notes, in his own handwriting, from the screens of MacBooks. A projector attached to a laptop beamed the manuscript onto a screen behind them.

“It’s an incredible experience, watching the handwriting of Beethoven as it passes by you,” said Nicholas Kitchen, the group’s first violinist.

The digital tide washing over society is lapping at the shores of classical music. The Borromeo players have embraced it in their daily musical lives like no other major chamber music group. They record nearly all of their concerts. They have forsaken paper musical parts in favor of MacBooks nestled on special music stands, paging forward and back with foot pedals. They have replaced oldfashioned tuning devices and metronomes with programs on their laptops.

Technician Don Dale, of Bend, prepares to move a car in place above the Toyota dealership’s service bay, which is lined with fiberglass and has a drain and pump system to collect and filter out pollutants.

The new Toyota dealership in Bend features green elements, including a car wash that collects and recycles 95 percent of the water used for each wash, filtering out debris and cleaning the water before it’s put to use again.

These tanks hold the recycled water used in the car wash.

Chimpanzees seen caring for ‘grandchildren’ The Yomiuri Shimbun McClatchy-Tribune News Service

TOKYO — Researchers studying a troop of wild chimpanzees in Guinea have confirmed yet another likeness between humans and their close cousins: Chimpanzees care for their offspring’s young.

It was previously thought chimpanzees do not take care of their of f s pr i n g ’s young in the same way that humans do.

“We learned for the first time that chimpanzees share a prototype of the role of grandmother, which is characteristic of humans,” said a researcher from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute.

Professor Tetsuro Matsuzawa and associate professor Shinya Yamamoto have been in Bossou, Guinea, home to the wild chimpanzees, since December.

They saw a female chimpanzee, presumed to be about 55 years old, or more than 70 in human years, beckon to a 3-yearold youngster and they walked off in the forest. When they went to cross a road about four meters wide, the older chimpanzee carried the infant on her back, according to the researchers.

“In Bossou, because the chimps are well nourished, they have extended life spans and undergo longer periods without giving birth. It is reasonable for experienced older chimps to take care of youngsters. Humans might have evolved through that kind of process,” Matsuzawa said.

Happily unattached Pay scuffle holds back ‘Housewives’ woman still enjoys feeling of freedom B y Ronald Grover and Andy Fixmer Bloomberg News

Dear Abby: I was married at 17 and ran away at 37 when I finally admitted to myself that my husband did not love me. After that, I went through a deep depression that took years to recover from. I have been divorced for 13 years and am happy being unencumbered. I choose to live alone.

I enjoy companionship and am seeing not one, but two, men.

They both want a commitment, and I do not. One knows about the other; the other doesn’t. They know I have had relationships in the past.

I have already had family, kids and grandkids. I see no reason to marry again or have a serious commitment to anyone. What is your advice?

— Content in Iowa Dear Content: My advice is to let the gentleman who doesn’t know you are seeing someone else in on the secret. Other than that, because you are happy with the status quo, I have no other advice to offer.

Dear Abby: Before my mother died a year ago, she told me a secret. She said my middle-aged brother “Donnie” was conceived with a sperm donation rather than my father (also deceased), whose sperm count was low. My brother doesn’t know this, and Mom didn’t tell him before she died.

Donnie has had numerous emotional problems and has unresolved issues with our parents.

Do you think it’s important that he know of his “origin,” or is this a secret I should take with me to the grave? I don’t want to hurt him with this information, only to help him resolve some of his negative feelings toward our parents.

— Half-sister in New Jersey Dear Half-sister: Your halfbrother should be told the truth.

It may be difficult for him to hear,

DEAR ABBY but on the other hand, it could explain some of the unspoken family dynamics that may have led to his unresolved issues with your parents. It might also help him understand why he felt “different.”

Dear Abby: I have a grandchild whose parents are strict, which I don’t mind, but when Mom loses her cool, she starts name-calling.

She’ll say things like, “You’re a brat!” etc. in front of whomever, wherever we happen to be. It goes against my grain to call anyone names.

Should I talk to the parents about this or stay out of their business? I don’t interfere with the way any of my children raise their kids, but I’m very concerned over this. What do I do or say? Should I speak up, or hold my peace? I hurt for the grandkids when this happens. It isn’t good for their self-esteem.

— Unsure in Red Wing, Minn.

Dear Unsure: I know very few perfect parents, but if your family member does this on a regular basis, you should say something.

The problem with labeling a child is that if an adult does it often enough, the child can grow up thinking the label is accurate. A better way to handle the situation would be for Mom to say firmly: “Stop that! When you do that it makes me angry, and if it happens again, you’ll: (1) get a time out; (2) we’re going outside until you can behave; or (3) I won’t bring you here again!”

LOS ANGELES — ABC, last in the ratings among the big broadcast networks this season, has been unable to renew its most-popular drama “Desperate Housewives” because of pay demands by three of the show’s stars.

Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria are seeking a raise, said three people with knowledge of the demands. Teri Hatcher has signed a new contract, said one of the people, who sought anonymity because the talks with ABC aren’t public. In August, TVGuide.com put their pay at $400,000 each per episode.

“Housewives,” an hourlong weekly drama featuring five women living on the deceptively idyllic Wisteria Lane, is ABC’s most-watched scripted show. The Sunday night program averages 13.1 million viewers a night and 5.75 million among the 18-to-49year-olds advertisers target.

A 30-second ad costs about $210,000, second on ABC only to the $220,000 for “Grey’s Anatomy,” Ad Age magazine reported in October.

“There are a lot of moving parts, but we have ambitions to pick it up,” Paul Lee, president of ABC Entertainment, said in an interview this week at a TV critics meeting in Pasadena, Calif. “We expect to

ABC has already announced renewals of six shows, including “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town.” The fate of new series, such as “Detroit 1-8-7” and “No Ordinary Family,” are still undetermined.

“Housewives” ranks 10th among viewers ages 18 to 49, and, after the competition show “Dancing With the Stars,” is ABC’s highest-rated program in total viewers, according to Nielsen data. Disney, based in

Burbank, California, produces “Housewives,” and generates revenue from DVDs and reruns in addition to ads. The audience peaked at 23.7 million viewers nightly in the 2004-05 first season, Nielsen data show.

“It would be a pretty big loss for the network,” said Brad

Adgate, who oversees research at Horizon Media, a New Yorkbased advertising firm. “Unlike CBS, ABC has had difficulty in developing new hits of late.”

Huffman, Cross, Longoria and Hatcher are original cast members who have appeared in each of the seven seasons since “Housewives” started in October 2004.

“We are currently in talks and hope to reach agreement soon,” said Amber Woodward, an assistant to Huffman. Liza Anderson, Longoria’s publicist, said the actress wasn’t available to comment. Brad Cafarelli, who represents Hatcher, was seeking a comment from his client. Howard Green, Cross’s manager, didn’t respond to e-mail requests for comment.

CBS stands by Charlie Sheen and his hit sitcom

FRIDAY

By David Bauder

Jan. 28

PASADENA, Calif. — The top entertainment executive at CBS said Friday the network is concerned about Charlie Sheen’s off-camera behavior, but it hasn’t affected his work as the star of television’s most popular comedy.

“We have a high level of concern,” said Nina Tassler, CBS entertainment president. “How can we not?”

The actor’s messy personal life has included a wild night that left a New York hotel room in shambles and sent Sheen to a hospital, and a guilty plea last summer to assaulting his wife in Aspen, Colo. Sheen filled gossip pages again by spending last weekend partying in Las Vegas.

Tassler said she has given a great deal of thought to Sheen on a “human level,” but the situation can’t be viewed simplistically. The actor does his job reliably well on “Two and a Half Men,” she said.

A reporter suggested a person in a different line of work would be fired for involvement in similar incidents.

“What do you get fired for?

Going to work and doing your job?” Tassler asked.

Sheen’s Monday night program has increased its audience by 2 percent over last season, the Nielsen Co. said. He signed a

MTV reality contestant charged with murder

By David Ovalle

The Associated Press ile photo

Charlie Sheen, the star of CBS’ sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” has had a messy personal life that includes a guilty plea for assaulting his wife last summer.

MIAMI — When Baron “Dirty” Colon joined an MTV reality show featuring street thugs in 2009, he swore to reform or else wind up behind bars.

His own words may have proved prophetic: Police arrested Colon last week, charging him with the murder of a Miami area artist during a botched heist.

Colon, 24, of Miami Gardens, was a finalist on the second season of MTV’s “From G’s to Gents,” which offered $100,000 to the “real” gangster who most turned his life around. He competed against 15 contestants on the show, which claims to transform “rough-around-the-edges young men” into dapper, successful gentlemen.

He is charged in the January 2006 slaying of artist Marcelo Vera, and according to police was a suspect in the case even as he jetted off to Los Angeles to tape the show.

Investigators got a break last year when a confidential informant secretly recorded Colon confessing to intimate details only the killer would know, ac-

cording to an arrest warrant filed in court.

Colon is jailed with no bond on charges of first-degree murder and armed burglary. He faces arraignment Jan. 28 in MiamiDade circuit court.

“From G’s to Gents” is hosted by former P. Diddy assistant Fonzworth Bentley. The executive producer is actor Jamie Foxx.

In his show biography, Colon claims his mother threw him in the trash as a baby, and that she later died of a drug overdose.

After stints in juvenile detention and foster care, he became a barber, Colon told the show.

A representative for MTV could not be reached for comment.

Colon’s criminal history shows arrests for drugs, grand theft and driving with a suspended license, but none resulted in felony convictions, court records show.

As a contestant, Colon and company were plunged into the posh world of a Los Angeles “gentleman’s club,” attending a wine-tasting, producing a public service skit for schoolchildren and even competing in a fashion contest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 17, 2011: This year, you swing with ease between work mode and social mode. If not working, your moods flow from very serious to downright silly. Associates or friends pop in and out of your life. Expect the unpredictable in daily matters and in your home life; you will not be disappointed. If single, you meet people with ease. You do not need to do anything special, other than be available. If attached, the two of you really get into a groove, and enjoy it. Learn to respect differences.

CANCER can be challenging.

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) HHHHH Talk possibilities. Note an unusual quality about someone as you “try” to communicate.

Opportunities will come out of a difficult situation. The unexpected occurs with a boss or authority figure. Tonight: Hang close to home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Free your mind. Get an explanation for a money matter.

Floating through your day is an element of change, odd news and a need to tell it as it is. Start planning for a break or a long weekend.

Tonight: Catch up with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are full of energy and ready to pitch in, whether it is helping a boss or parent or doing a physical task. Your leadership skills emerge.

Your instincts pay off with a partner, a loved one or a friend. You actually

turn a difficult situation into one that flows. Tonight: Treat yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could feel out of sorts in the morning. It would take nothing to annoy you or to force a change of plans. If you can delay networking, meetings and other such dealings until the afternoon, you will be on cruise control. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Use the morning to take care of an important matter. By the afternoon, a partner could be more willing to express his or her feelings, but you might not be in the mood. Close your door and/or decide to pursue a solo pastime.

Tonight: Screen calls; do your thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Take the lead on a project. Your penchant for details guarantees an often-missing precision. An unexpected statement or action by a close associate, personal friend or loved one triggers thought and conversation.

Tonight: Do what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Do needed research in the morning; act later with certainty.

Accept and learn a new technique or application that would make your work easier. If tense, a walk during a break, although short, could help eliminate a lot of your stress. Tonight: Working late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Deal directly with others.

You do know what you want, but you need to do some tricky negotiating in order to realize this desire.

Detachment and giving another

person space might work in the same manner. Tonight: Do what is most relaxing for your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others seek you out.

You might need to screen calls in order to get anything done. A meeting determines who your supporters are. Use the afternoon for some important conversation, with only the person involved.

That adds to your rapport.

Tonight: Go for dinner for two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Plunge into a project and/or hurry through errands in the morning. By afternoon, a carousel of people could be knocking on your door. You will feel a bit overwhelmed, yet at the same quite flattered. A talk suddenly could veer in a new direction.

Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your creativity swells up in the morning, allowing greater flexibility. This same creativity could translate to risk-taking if applied to finances. Know when and where to plug this energy. By afternoon, you are more focused than you have been for a while.

Tonight: Put up your feet and relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH It could be tense and somewhat difficult to get going in the morning. It is amazing how easily you get sidetracked. By afternoon, you will need all the creativity you can muster to make up for lost time.

The good news is that you have it at your fingertips. Tonight: Apply more creativity to your plans. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

During construction, the project recycled 50 tons of garbage that otherwise would have gone to the landfill, she said — including 24 tons of wood, 10 tons of metal scrap and 15 tons of drywall, which had to be trucked to Prineville since it was the closest facility to accept the material.

In designing the facility, planners chose a heating system 40 percent more efficient than building codes call for, and a cooling system 70 percent more efficient than code, Harmeson said.

The LEED program works by awarding credits for different building features, from being responsible with the land to energy conservation, she said, adding that she was confident the new dealership would be certified by the LEED program.

Continued from C1 But the business also has customers interested in hybrids, he said, adding that some people seemed to have waited for the new building to open to come and buy a vehicle.

Going green is a trend among auto dealerships, said Greg Remensperger, executive vice president of the Oregon Auto Dealers Association. In existing dealerships, owners are switching out light bulbs or sharpening energy efficiency, and a few dealers have been trying to achieve LEED certification in recent years, he said.

As of last fall, three car dealerships in Oregon had received LEED certification. Two were Toyota dealerships in Portland and Eugene. The other was confidential.

“It’s just been a focus and an emphasis from the industry,” Remensperger said.

Others follow LEED, too

Green elements Many of the green features at Toyota Scion tackle components that are specific to car dealerships.

“Not managed properly, a car dealership can be a big polluter,” Durfee said.

So the Toyota dealership has car washes that recycle almost all of the water, filtering out the dirt and cleaning the water before reusing it.

In the service bays where workers change oil, white fiberglass covers the walls of the podlike areas where the employees stand to work on the cars above.

Nasty chemicals can come out of cars, Durfee said, but with the dealership’s new setup, those all

can be washed down a drain.

There, pumps separate water from the oil and debris, then further separate oil from other contaminants.

Water is reused, he said, the oil is recycled for heating, and the other material is disposed of.

“It’s something really unique,” he said.

Other environmentally friendly features of the building range from durable floor tiles with recycled content to trash cans with recycling containers attached.

The concrete blocks in the walls were made locally, Durfee said, and the exterior is designed to require little maintenance over the years, thus avoiding the need

Music Continued from C1 The Borromeo provides an example of how technology is shaping the production and creation of classical music, a bastion of traditional acoustic sound and repository of centuries-old masterpieces. Operas and concerts are being projected live in movie theaters; music has been written for cell phone ringers and laptops; concert audiences are seeing more and more multimedia presentations; orchestras use text messages to stay in touch with audiences; long-distance musical instruction through high speed Internet2 is common; YouTube videos are used for auditions. Many orchestras now present programs with sophisticated, high-definition video images accompanying the music.

With the Borromeo, the contrast is all the more striking. A string quartet is the ultimate in musical refinement, four exquisitely blending instruments capable of infinite nuance — two violins, viola and cello that have essentially been unchanged for more than 400 years. Absorbing the technology did not come easily for these players. Longstanding professional string quartets are delicate organisms, in which egos must be balanced, personalities meshed and artistic compromises reached. The push for blanket recording and laptop stands caused tensions. Several members were slow to embrace the practices.

At least one felt pressured to do so. But now, they said, the methods have become second nature, merely handmaidens in service to basic music making.

The Borromeo began selling its live concert recordings in an October 2003 performance at the Tenri Cultural Center in Manhattan. The quartet recently opened a Web store, livingarchive.org, to sell its performances online, as downloads or in hard copy. The Tenri program is to include the Beethoven quartet; the Canzona movement from Gunther Schuller’s Quartet No.3; the premiere of a quartet by Mohammed Fairouz, “Chorale Fantasy”; and a version of Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue (BWV 582) modified for electric string quartet by Kitchen.

The beginning The Borromeo had its origins in the late 1980s at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where Kitchen; Yeesun Kim, the cellist; and the other two original members were students. The other two current members are the violist Mai Motobuchi and the second violinist Kristopher Tong.

They took their name from the Borromean Islands in Lake Maggiore in Italy, near where they played their first concerts.

Accolades followed. They joined the New England Conservatory faculty, won a Young Concert Artists Award in 1991 and a Cleveland Quartet Award

Members of the Borromeo String Quartet, from left, Nicholas Kitchen, Yeesun Kim, Mai Motobuchi and Kristopher Tong, at a rehearsal at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, on Jan. 10. The quartet uses laptops to display original sheet music and records most of its concerts for sale online, examples of how technology is reshaping the orchestra tradition. in 1998, played as part of the Chamber Music Society Two, of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and received an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2007. They have grown into a much respected ensemble.

In 2002, Kitchen, who talks with the meticulousness of a born techie, began preserving every performance he could, slowly educating himself about microphones, digital recorders and video cameras.

“I realized it was such a pity for so many of them not to be recorded,” he said.

Part of the motivation, quartet members said, is the powerful urge to grab onto and preserve those fleeting moments of great performances before a live audience. “For audience members it means a lot to have that memory of what they enjoyed so much,” Kim said.

By now the quartet has more than 800 concerts in its archive. “I have a mountain of hard drives,” Kitchen said. They are piled in an extra apartment the couple maintain in their condominium complex here in Jamaica Plain.

Kitchen lugs around a 40-pound backpack of equipment for each performance. It takes about an hour to set up for a concert.

The quartet also uses recordings to teach and to prepare for concerts. Musicians have listened to themselves since recording became possible, but the Borromeo players take it to an extreme.

Before every concert they run through a program and immediately listen to it, “with the rule that nobody should talk while they’re listening,” just like an audience member, Kitchen said.

“Along the way, you notice hundreds and hundreds of details that you want to fix,” he added. “Then, next time you play it, it’s transformed.”

At the Beethoven rehearsal, in Pierce Hall at the New England Conservatory, the discussion was traditional. Tong questioned the color of sound in a quiet section after a loud passage. Kitchen suggested a more even-sounding series of bow strokes. Kim, who often plays with the half-smile of someone enjoying a subtle joke, worried about the others’ cover-

ing a low-voiced cello passage.

The Borromeo permitted this amateur-clarinet-playing journalist to try a test run on the laptop.

A reading of the first movement of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet was unnerving. One foot tap came too late, causing a page turn delay.

An aging eye, already squinting at the tiny notes, sometimes had

to repaint or stain.

Skylights in the showroom and service areas provide much of the light, and LEDs and other efficient bulbs provide the rest.

Landscaping consists of plants that require little water, he said, and all of the rain and snow that falls on the lot is drained through a pit that naturally filters out

contaminants and allows the water to flow into the groundwater system, bypassing the city’s facilities.

The environmental efforts started even before the building was completed, said Sunny Harmeson, project coordinator with Redmond’s SunWest Builders, contractors for the project.

trouble finding its place. Watching the score and listening to the quartet’s beautiful playing during rests proved distracting enough to lead to a late entrance. Marking the part with the Acrobat tool was cumbersome. All these difficulties, the musicians said, are quickly overcome.

For Borromeo, the use of laptops grew out of a nontechnological impulse. Kitchen decided he wanted to read his music from a full score — all four lines of the quartet together — rather than from his individual part. That requires many more page-turns and makes the use of printed scores impractical.

So, inspired by the example of a pianist friend, Kitchen scanned scores into his laptop, which he placed on a portable stand that came with a foot pedal attachable through a USB (Footime, about $80). He started using the system

for rehearsing, and one day in December 2007, for the performance of an unfamiliar piece, his colleagues suggested he take it onstage.

Now the members obtain scores from websites offering free editions, like imslp.org, PDF files provided by composers who write music with programs like Sibelius, and their own scanning. They bought advanced versions of Adobe Acrobat that allow annotations.

The conflict Kitchen, 44, the first to adopt the laptop system, kept pushing for it. “We had arguments and aggravated conversations about the issue,” said Kim, 43, who had little hesitation. Motobuchi, 35, said she took about six months to get used to it.

Bend seems to have a high number of LEED-certified buildings for its size, said M.L. Vidas, owner of Sustainable Design Services of Bend. A search of the LEED database turns up about a dozen commercial buildings, although there could be additional confidential projects not listed.

“People see a value in it,” Vidas said.

Operating costs are lower because of built-in efficiencies, she said, and there’s a marketing value to having something be LEED-certified. Having an environmentally friendly building can be good for the occupants as well, she added.

“There’s a pride of place,” she said. “People are pleased to be working in a building that they know is better, is greener.”

newest member of the group — resisted the most. He still sounds not completely happy with the situation.

Seeing the music of his colleagues on the page can detract from the magic of chamber-music-making, of communicating through hearing, he said. “When first learning a piece,” Tong said, “it’s a constant battle to open up the ears. For a long time, I felt that the more I was seeing, the less I was hearing.”

What to call the new Redmond high school?

N. Dakota fans use wordplay to protest logo retirement

Here’s hoping the folks in charge get creative when they name the school, and when they pick its nickname

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Two University of North Dakota hockey fans and former English majors are using wordplay to try to find some humor in the pending retirement of the university’s Fighting Sioux nickname.

The university has said it will stop using the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo by April. It made the decision after the NCAA placed it on a list of schools with what the association deemed hostile and abusive American Indian nicknames.

Steve Ekman, an alumnus from Grafton, said he believes the only way to honor the name is to change the reference. To do that, he and fellow fan Hans Halvorson started an effort known as Save Our Suhaki. Their mission, as stated on www. suhaki.com, is to prevent the extinction of the suhaki, an antelope that lives in areas of Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

Their ulterior motive is noted in an editor’s note on the website: “Suhaki (soo-hakee) is often times mistaken for a legendary collegiate ice hockey team located at the Ralph Engelstad Arena, Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States of America.”

“It’s all basically in good fun,” said Ekman, a lawyer who first became interested in the “whole legal wrangling” surrounding the issue.

Halvorson, who’s also from Grafton, said his feelings about the name change are a bit “more fiery” than Ekman’s.

“I’m just extremely disappointed,” he said. “There’s hundreds of thousands of people who are just very loyal, but to some degree we’re all Minnesota nice and the very most anybody has ever done is write a letter to the editor. To me that’s not enough.

“We are the only organization that people can associate with to deliver a peaceful and poignant protest against the politically correct NCAA.” NCAA officials did not return a phone message seeking comment.

The proposed Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway consists of: • McKenzie Pass, a 40-mile oneway ride following state Highway 242 over McKenzie Pass between Sisters on the east side of the Cascades and McKenzie Bridge on the west.

• Camp Sherman Loops, a network of five-, 17- and 21-mile familyfriendly loops passing through Camp

• Sisters-Smith Rock, a 44-mile one-way route between Sisters and Smith Rock State Park.

• Twin Bridges Loop, a 32-mile ride on back roads between Bend and Tumalo.

Phillips noted that all four rides were praised by the committee for their stunning beauty, scenic diversity and overall ride experience.

But two sections of the Twin Bridges Loop, he added, “raised major concerns.”

The Twin Bridges Loop ride includes a 50-foot section of U.S. Highway 20 between Tweed Road and Innes Market Road where riders must travel on a narrow shoulder along the high-traffic highway. The commission also voiced concerns that bone-rattling cracks spanning the width of Tweed Road would decrease the enjoyment of the ride.

ore than 140 miles of Deschutes County’s most popular cycling roads could be designated a state scenic bikeway as early as this fall. The designation of these already-popular biking routes would not only mean increased signage and improved road surface quality, it also could attract scores of cycling visitors to the area.

Last summer, the 11-member Oregon Scenic Bikeway Committee recommended for consideration as state scenic bikeways eight rides in Oregon, four of which are located in Central Oregon. Together, the four rides here — three that begin in or near the Sisters area, and one that begins and ends in Bend — make up the proposed Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway.

This is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Why it took so long to form a naming committee, I don’t know — the bond for the school and other improvements to the district passed in May 2008 — but I do have some suggestions: Be original. Be creative.

Not to pick on Bend schools, but a quick internet search shows 15 different Mountain View high schools and more than 20 Summit Highs in the U.S. (and that’s not counting the multiple junior highs, middle schools and elementary schools across the country with those names).

(The new school’s nickname and colors will be selected by a different process that will heavily involve middle school and high school students.)

With construction on the new school moving rapidly — crews are ready to paint the gym floor and lockers, but no school colors have been selected yet — the district hopes to have a school name in place

Winter sports • Kostelic wins men’s World Cup slalom: Ivica Kostelic of Croatia extended his runaway start to 2011, winning a men’s World Cup slalom Sunday on the Lauberhorn course in Wengen, Switzerland. Kostelic had a combined two-run time of 1 minute, 45.28 seconds to stretch his lead in the World Cup overall standings. Marcel Hirscher of Austria led after the first run, but finished 0.93 seconds back in second.

In a tough day for the U.S., Bode Miller, Ted Ligety and Will Brandenburg all went out in the first run.

• Women’s World Cup slalom canceled: The women’s World Cup slalom race scheduled for Sunday in Maribor, Slovenia, was called off less than two hours before its scheduled start because warm weather damaged the Pohorje course. Several days of weather reaching up to 59 degrees softened the snow on the slope, which made a safe and fair competition impossible. Saturday’s giant slalom was called off for the same reason after 25 racers finished their run.

Football • NFL backs state regulations for youth concussions: The NFL is helping craft legislation in states around the country that would protect young athletes from the devastating long-term effects of concussions. Omaha Sen. Steve Lathrop last week introduced a bill in Nebraska that works to raise coaches’ awareness of symptoms and prevent athletes from returning to practice or competition too soon. Prevention of head trauma has been a major issue in the National Football League during the past year.

• AP source: Cable files grievance against Raiders: A person familiar with the fines says former Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable has filed a grievance to recover $120,000 that the team penalized him during the final year of his contract. The person did not say why the Raiders withheld the money from Cable’s paychecks. ESPN reported owner Al Davis was upset that the Raiders lost two days of organized team activities in June for violating NFL rules.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 17 Washington bounces back to beat Cal The Associated Press BERKELEY, Calif. — Isaiah Thomas told his team there would not be another second-half letdown.

Washington spent more than two days in the Bay Area waiting to play again, eager to hit the court after a deflating last-minute defeat at Stanford.

The Huskies went to a couple of movies and had team meals. They attended study sessions and practiced.

“We were just ready to take it out on somebody else,” Thomas said.

He did that, all right.

Thomas scored 18 of his season-high 27 points in the first half and No. 17 Washington bounced back from the Stanford loss to beat California 92-71 on Sunday night and salvage a split on its tough Bay Area trip.

Thomas also dished out a career-high 13 assists, including two in a row on 3-pointers by Justin Holiday to start the second half as Washington quickly pulled away. Holiday scored 23 points and Matthew Bryan-Amaning added 22 and 11 rebounds for the Huskies (13-4, 5-1 Pac-10), who shot much better than their cold performance against the Cardinal three days earlier.

“That was probably the best performance I’ve

seen him have as a Husky,” Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said of Thomas. “He was just like a band conductor, orchestrating that game for all of the 35 minutes he was in there.”

Harper Kamp scored 20 points and freshman Allen Crabbe followed up his season-best 30-point, 10for-15 performance against Washington State with 16 points for the Golden Bears (9-8, 2-3). Cal couldn’t keep the momentum from its thrilling 88-81 overtime victory against the Cougars on Thursday night.

Washington shot 52.3 percent, going 13 for 29 from long range, to pull off a rare win at Haas Pavilion. The Huskies had won just twice in their previous 10 visits to Cal’s home floor, the last time an 87-84 victory on March 1, 2008.

This nationally televised game was a rematch of last season’s Pac-10 tournament final won 79-75 by Washington.

Holiday shot nine for 14 with five 3-pointers after going zero for five in the first half of the Stanford game and missing a shot at the end of that one.

Bryan-Amaning went 10 for 15 from the floor and Thomas was eight of 16 and made all eight of his free-throw tries.

Thomas has 103 assists already this season after getting 202 in his previous two years. He broke into

Washington’s top 10 on the career assists list with Sunday’s outing.

“Fact of the matter, Isaiah Thomas pretty much had his way,” Cal coach Mike Montgomery said.

“Washington was very good. They made shots, they played extremely hard. I didn’t think we were at our best. That’s a bad combination for us. I think they got woken up on Thursday, kind of got caught off guard. They came here full of it.”

TENNIS: AUSTRALIAN OPEN

NBA ROUNDUP

Defending champ headed to second round

By John Pye The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer started his Australian Open title defense with a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Lukas Lacko on Monday, showing some of the sublime shotmaking skills that make him the most obvious hurdle to Rafael Nadal’s pursuit of a “Rafa Slam.”

Trying to become only the second man to win five Australian titles, Federer barely waited for the ballboys to get back into place between points.

Since Federer won at Melbourne Park last year for his record 16th major title, Nadal has won the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and is aiming to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles. If the rankings hold true, Federer and Nadal will meet in the final.

The second-ranked Federer is clearly intent on regaining the top spot.

“One and two are both very good.

One is better than two, but they still put me on Rod Laver Arena, so I’m not complaining at all,” Federer said.

“And, look, I’m really enjoying myself playing really well at the moment. Very happy how things are going.”

Federer worked his Slovak rival around the court with angled forehands and relentless accuracy. The 23-year-old Lacko had no answers, except when he challenged some line calls.

Lacko twice challenged calls on the baseline in one game on Federer forehands that looked like winners — he had both turned over to earn a break against Federer’s serve in the second set and make it 3-1. It only seemed to spur Federer on as he raced through the first round in 84 minutes.

No. 8 Andy Roddick rushed through as well, firing 17 aces as he beat Jan Hajek 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.

Caroline Wozniacki started her first major as the No. 1-ranked woman with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Argentina’s Gisela Dulko. It was 20year-old Wozniacki’s first victory of the year, following a straight-sets loss to Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova last week in the Sydney International and exhibition losses to No. 2 Vera Zvonareva and Kim Clijsters in

John Donegan / The Associated Press

Switzerland’s Roger Federer makes a backhand return to Slovakia’s Lukas Lacko during their first-round match at the Australian Open tennis championships in Melbourne, Australia, earlier today.

Singapore and Hong Kong.

Dulko, the top-ranked doubles player, tested Wozniacki in the second set and pulled level at 4-4 with a service break, but the Danish player broke back immediately and served it out on her second match point after a double-fault on her first.

Wozniacki won six tournaments in 2010, including four of her last six, and can retain the top spot by reaching the semifinals.

“Definitely. I’m feeling good. I’m

feeling like I’m in a good shape,” Wozniacki said. “Gisela is a tough opponent, especially in the first round.”

Maria Sharapova won for the first time at Melbourne Park since taking the 2008 title, beating Thai veteran Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-1, 6-3 in the opening match on Rod Laver Arena.

Sharapova, who missed the 2009 tournament because of a shoulder injury and was ousted in the first round last year by fellow Russian

Maria Kirilenko, struggled with her serve and was inconsistent in the second set. After losing the opening service game at love, Sharapova won seven straight games to take a 6-1, 1-0 lead.

The 33-year-old Tamarine rallied and had a game point on serve for a 4-1 lead, but 14th-seeded Sharapova broke back and regained momentum, winning the last five games.

Even when she was winning, though, Sharapova had trouble finding range with her serve. She had 10 double-faults and five aces.

“I was definitely a little bit nervous in the beginning. Last year, I played first match on center and, you know, I lost,” Sharapova said. “So kind of was like, ‘I don’t want this to happen again this year.’

“The first game definitely wasn’t great, and didn’t serve good at all during the match. I started playing better as the match went on and, yeah, I can only improve.”

French Open champion Francesca Schiavone had a couple of stutters, missing a chance to serve for the match before breaking Arantxa Parra Santonja to win 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4.

In other women’s matches, No. 20 Kaia Kanepi of Estonia beat Slovakia’s Magdalena Rybarikova 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 and No. 29 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia advanced 6-2, 67 (4), 6-4 over Germany’s Angelique Kerber.

No. 18 Sam Querrey was the first of the men’s seeded players eliminated, losing 5-7, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 8-6 to Poland’s Lukasz Kubot, while No. 12 Gael Monfils and No. 16 Mardy Fish rallied from two sets down.

Former world junior champion Thiemo De Bakker served for the match at 5-3 in the third against Monfils but got tight and made a series of unforced errors on key points, eventually losing 6-7 (5), 2-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1.

“I know Thiemo a bit. I know sometime he snap in the head,” Monfils said. “It’s a weakness for him. So you play with that.”

Fish seriously cut down his unforced errors in the third set and continued that through, getting the decisive break in the seventh game of the fifth set and then converting his fourth match point for a 2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Romania’s Victor Hanescu.

Spurs continue to roll, cruise past Nuggets The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker is just glad it’s not him who is being chased by New York trade rumors anymore, now that Carmelo Anthony is getting all the attention.

Parker scored 30 points and the San Antonio Spurs reached the season’s midway point with the third-best first half in NBA history, beating Denver 110-97 on Sunday night in what Anthony said wasn’t his last game in a Nuggets uniform.

“No, not at all,” Anthony said. “I’m going to play Wednesday against Oklahoma City and then against the Lakers. Then Indiana.”

Is he sure of that?

“Yep.” Anthony added he hadn’t heard reports of the Nuggets giving the New Jersey Nets permission to speak with him, thereby avoiding league tampering rules.

“If that was the case, I’m sure I would have gotten a phone call,” said Anthony, who scored 12 points on five of 17 shooting in the loss.

The NBA-best Spurs (35-6) won their sixth in a row.

Manu Ginobili added 18 points for San Antonio, which beat Denver for a third time while continuing its best start in franchise history. The last team this dominant through 41 games was Detroit in 2005-06, when the Pistons started 36-5 and wound up losing in the Eastern Conference finals.

The Spurs have a better finish in mind.

They extended their lead in the Southwest Division to eight games over the reeling Dallas Mavericks — their biggest division cushion in nearly 30 years.

“We have to keep it going, can’t be satisfied,” Parker said. “We just have to keep pushing.”

Four players were ejected from this crosstown rivalry game after a scuffle under the basket with 5.7 seconds to play.

After Lamar Odom grabbed Griffin’s jersey while fighting for a rebound, Baron Davis intervened and shoved Odom firmly in the chest, leading to more shoves. Odom, Griffin, Davis and Ron Artest all were ejected after the officials conferenced, a decision that visibly baffled Griffin and Artest.

NBA SCOREBOARD EASTERN CONFERENCE

Nadal and Federer Clijsters does not waste warm up together any energy on worrying

By John Pye The Associated Press

By Dennis Passa

MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger and Rafa were behaving like best mates on Rod Laver Arena — high-fiving, hugging, shaking hands and laughing at each other’s jokes on the eve of the Australian Open.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal had time for fun at the “Rally for Relief” to raise money for victims of the fatal floods in Australia’s northeastern Queensland state. It’ll be a completely different story if they’re back on the same court two weeks from Sunday.

Federer is the defending champion. Nadal has won three Grand Slam titles since and is aiming to become the first man since Laver in 1969 to win four straight majors. It’s being dubbed the “Rafa Slam.”

The pair played on opposite sides of the net, and then played together against Kim Clijsters and Sam Stosur in front of a capacity crowd of 15,000 that paid to watch a host of tennis stars in the fundraiser. Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick wore microphones and joked with the crowd, playing alongside and against the likes of Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka in the celebrity hit-and-giggle exhibition.

Neither Federer nor Nadal wore microphones when they played a little later. It was mostly smiles, but there were glimpses of competitive intensity when they faced each other in mixed doubles.

At one point, 16-time Grand Slam winner Federer used his court craft to bring Nadal to the net and then beat him with a backhand passing shot.

The muscular Spaniard replied on the next point, leaping high and smashing an overhead winner beyond Federer’s reach. After each of those winners, the two smiled broadly at each other.

Nadal also hammered a forehand down the line on the last point of their singles mini-match and then, shaking hands and laughing, the two standout players in men’s tennis joined forces against U.S. Open champion Clijsters and French Open finalist Stosur — Australia’s best hope in the women’s draw.

Around their exhibition Sunday, Federer said Nadal has “been playing incredible.”

“An incredible run through the French, Wimbledon, U.S. Open — it was incredible to see. Then obviously it’s hard to maintain. But he’s going to be for sure ready for this,” Federer said. “I’ll follow it very closely. If I get a chance, I hope I can stop him.”

Third-seeded Djokovic, the 2008 champion, played Spaniard Marcel Granollers in the main night match on Rod Laver Arena. Andy Roddick played Jan Hajek of the Czech Republic on the second showcourt.

Nadal withdrew from his quarterfinal here last year to Murray, who went on to lose the final to Federer. He won’t be in action until Tuesday, when he starts his campaign for the Rafa Slam against Marcos Daniel of Brazil.

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Kim Clijsters reckons she didn’t win three U.S. Open tournaments and 40 titles overall in her career while worrying about the opposition.

She’ll take that thought into the Australian Open, where her first-round match Tuesday against Dinara Safina will be a meeting of two former No. 1-ranked players.

Clijsters said Sunday that despite her 7-2 record against Safina, the match against the tall Russian will be a “challenge, but I’ve played some good matches against her.”

As for her opposition, Clijsters says: “I really don’t want to waste too much energy on what’s happening on other parts of the draw or what’s being said around us.

“You really just try to focus on yourself, the way that you’re playing, to just put all that energy into what I’m here for, and that’s to try to play good tennis.”

Serena Williams will not be defending her title due to a foot injury, so the women’s championship appears to be wide open with No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, Clijsters, Venus Williams, last year’s finalist Justine Henin, former champion Maria Sharapova and second-seeded Vera Zvonarva all having realistic chances.

Wozniacki began play in her first Grand Slam as No. 1 when she took on Gisela Dulko of Argentina in the second match at Rod Laver Arena. She was preceded by 2008 champion Maria Sharapova, who played Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand.

Also today, fourth-seeded Venus Williams takes on Sara Errani of Italy, while Henin plays qualifier Sania Mirza of India.

“It’s a tough first round because Gisela is a very good player, Wozniacki said of Dulko. “She likes to play on this surface. She’s getting a lot of balls back. But I’m looking forward to the match and hoping to get a good start.”

Like Safina and Jelena Jankovic before her, Wozniacki has risen to the top without a victory in a major and has had to answer many questions about her legitimacy as a true No. 1.

“I’ve got great results, you don’t become No. 1 by winning small tournaments,” said Wozniacki, who won six of her 12 career WTA singles titles in 2010. “I don’t have to prove anything.”

The 20-year-old Wozniacki lost to Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets in the first round of the Sydney International, which followed two straight-set losses to Zvonareva and Clijsters in exhibition events in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Henin is looking forward to yet another homecoming in Melbourne. She lost the final here last year to Serena Williams only three tournaments into a comeback to the tour after 20 months in retirement. She won the Australian title in 2004,

Kim Clijsters holds her runners-up trophy after the women’s final at the Sydney International tennis tournament in Sydney on Friday.

Clijsters will take on Dinara Safina in her first match of the Australian Open on Tuesday. retired in the final against Amelie Mauresmo in 2006 and lost to Sharapova in the quarterfinals in 2008, only a few months before she quit.

That made Henin the only woman to retire while holding the No. 1 ranking.

Henin withdrew from all post-Wimbledon events in 2010 with a right elbow injury, but started 2011 in good form by leading Belgium to the Hopman Cup team final in Perth, Australia.

“I’ll probably need a few more months to be completely free of the pain,” she said Saturday.

“It doesn’t mean I cannot compete and try to be close to my best or what I can produce. But I need matches, I need rhythm ... but we all know a lot of things can happen.”

Henin isn’t willing to predict who will be in the women’s final on Jan. 29.

“It’s the beginning of the season, everyone is fresh mentally, but you need to find the rhythm again of the competition,” she said.

“You still have the older generation, I’m part of it ... Kim, Venus of course. Then the new generation is coming up. It’s going to be a big battle. We know the few names that can go to the end, but a lot of surprises also happen in Grand Slams.”

Clijsters agrees.

“Tough players, new players that you don’t expect to be doing well can be on a great run,” Clijsters said Sunday. “So many things can happen.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

A long day ends in victory for Mark Wilson

Bears handle Seahawks, set to face Packers

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Football’s oldest rivalry has a grand new prize: a spot in the Super Bowl.

Maybe even with an anniversary reprise of the “Super Bowl Shuffle” if the Chicago Bears can get past the Green Bay Packers.

“It’s a big deal. We have a lot of history with them,” Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher said after a 35-24 victory over Seattle set up an NFC championship game matchup with Green Bay. “We don’t like them, they don’t like us.”

Jay Cutler ran for two touchdowns and threw for two as Chicago (12-5) pounded the Seahawks from the outset. The Bears’ built a 28-0 lead, but it was against the first division winner with a losing record, making it difficult to measure how good they are. The NFL will find out next week against the Packers (12-6), who have beaten third-seeded Philadelphia and top-seeded Atlanta on the road this month.

The last time Chicago won the NFL title, Walter Payton, Jim McMahon and Mike Singletary did the “Super Bowl Shuffle” all over their opponents. That was 25 years ago, and to compare these Bears with the wild bunch that won Chicago’s only Super Bowl 25 years ago is a stretch.

But next Sunday’s matchup is fitting if only for the history: It will be the biggest game in Chicago’s 90-year series with the Packers. They will play for the 182nd time next Sunday, but it’s their first meeting for the NFC title.

“Now that we have beaten the Seahawks, it just doesn’t get any better, as I see it, than for the NFC championship coming down to the Packers coming down on our turf this time,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said. “The Packers and Bears to finish it up.”

Cutler made it possible as much as anybody.

And he did it with nimble feet as well as precise throws, running for 6- and 9-yard TDs. “It was fun,” he said with a smile. “That first one was called. Second one was kind of improv.”

There was nothing improvisational about the way the Bears’ defense shut down an offense that scored 41 points against New Orleans last week, but that gained only 111 through three periods at Soldier Field, where Seattle managed a 23-20 victory in October. The Seahawks’ points all came with the outcome decided.

“Now we’re back, playing together, hopefully peaking at the right time,” Urlacher said.

Cutler, in his first postseason game, showed none of the wild swings that often have marked his five-year career. His shifty moves on a 6yard run made it 21-0, essentially turning everyone’s attention to next weekend.

“We’re both familiar with each other, so nothing’s going to be new,” Cutler said. “We have our hands full.”

Not much was expected of the Bears when the season began, but they’ve improved mightily since falling to 4-3 heading into their bye week.

They clinched a playoff berth with two games remaining, grabbing their first NFC North championship since 2006 — when they lost to Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.

Unlike Atlanta and Pittsburgh on Saturday, they showed no rust from having a bye in dominating Seattle. Then again, the Seahawks showed none of the surging emotions or bigplay abilities they sprung on the Saints at home.

Caveman Continued from D1 So they rarely got caught without monsters named Butkus and Urlacher, Nitschke and Matthews on the other side of the ball, ensuring the games never got too pretty.

The Bears and Packers have played 181 times previously, with Chicago holding a 92-83-6 edge. Between them, they’ve won 21 NFL titles and sent four dozen players to the Hall of Fame. Incredibly, they met only once before in the postseason, in cozy Wrigley Field in December, 1941, a week after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

“I’m still learning some of the stories and I’m already five years in,” cornerback Danieal Manning said after Chicago clubbed Seattle 35-24 to seal the home game against Green Bay. Manning was one of the few players even willing to acknowledge that he’d invested some time learning the lore. Not so Julius Peppers, the Pro Bowl end who was lured to Chicago this offseason with a $91 million deal to shore up the Bears’ defense.

“At the end of the day, it’s not going to come down to how many Hall of Famers, or whatever, played in the past,” Peppers said.

“It’s going to be about the guys in this locker room and the one across the way.”

No kidding. Players used to go out of their way to deliver messages in the series, but

New York Jets linebacker David Harris (52), defensive tackle Sione Pouha (91) and linebacker Bart Scott (57) tackle New England Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis (42) during the second half of an NFL divisional football playoff game in Foxborough, Mass., Sunday.

Jets back up bold talk, beat Patriots The Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — So the Jets weren’t all talk — trash talk — after all.

Now Rex Ryan’s rowdy bunch is headed to its second straight AFC championship game after New York backed up its coach’s boasts with a 28-21 win Sunday over the New England Patriots — the team with the best record in the NFL. Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes and the Jets sacked Tom Brady five times in the most-hyped of the weekend’s four postseason games following a week of verbal potshots from both teams.

New York led its fierce rival 14-3 at halftime before Brady’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Alge Crumpler and Sammy Morris’ run for a 2-point conversion made it 14-11 late in the third quarter. But Sanchez came right back with a 7-yard scoring pass to Santonio Holmes and New York finished the upset with Shonn Greene’s 16-yard touchdown run.

The Jets (13-5) kept Ryan’s prediction of a Super Bowl appearance alive. The Patriots (14-3) lost their third straight postseason game.

“Maybe everybody else never believed, but we believed,” Ryan said. “We’re moving on. Same old Jets, back to the AFC championship. The only difference is this time we plan on winning.”

They lost last season to Indianapolis 3017, but now have another chance for their first Super Bowl berth since 1969 when another loudmouth, “Broadway Joe” Namath, backed up his guarantee with a

they no longer fight over livelihoods; they all make plenty of money win or lose, playoff bonus or not. They also swap congratulatory text messages, training tips and even restaurant and nightclub reviews. The nastiness rarely spills over into public anymore.

Yet scratch any middle-aged Bears fan — even this week, when they should be celebrating — and what you’ll hear is a decadesold complaint about how Walter Payton once got run over by the Green Bay defense even though he was 15 yards out of bounds. Or how quarterback Jim McMahon was bodyslammed to the turf by Charles Martin a good three seconds after the whistle, separating his shoulder and costing the Bears — “at least three” — more Super Bowls.

Then drive the 184 miles north from Soldier Field to Lambeau Field and you’ll think you’ve arrived at an alternate universe. All the stories about overzealous chases and late hits sound familiar, but this time the villains are always dressed in orange and blue.

Chicago coach Lovie Smith grew up in Texas, so none of those grudges seem quite so personal. But he went out of his way to keep faith with the fans. He made a point of targeting Green Bay almost from the day he arrived seven years ago. Earlier this month, with both a playoff spot and first-round bye already locked up, but a chance to knock the Packers out of the postseason, Smith played his starters until the bitter end of a 10-3 loss to Green Bay. After the Packers beat Atlanta to book

16-9 win over the Baltimore Colts.

Ryan has said many times that the Jets are a Super Bowl-caliber team, and has irritated fans, opposing players and media with his bold remarks. Last week he said the game was a contest between him and Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Then, after Antonio Cromartie called Brady an expletive on Tuesday, Ryan said he wouldn’t punish his cornerback.

The ultra-serious Belichick wasn’t as kind to Wes Welker.

The wide receiver was benched for the Patriots first series for subtle remarks apparently directed at Ryan. Welker made several references to feet in his news conference Thursday, interpreted by some as a dig at recent foot-fetish reports involving Ryan.

When the game ended, Belichick walked slowly to midfield where he met Ryan, patted his conqueror on the back with his left hand and shared some words.

“We just didn’t do enough things well today,” Belichick said. “It’s obvious.”

Sanchez completed 16 of 25 passes for 194 yards and touchdowns to LaDainian Tomlinson, Braylon Edwards and Holmes. Brady, who played poorly for his second straight postseason game, was 29for-45 for 299 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

“I don’t even know what to say right now,” Tomlinson said. “What an unbelievable win for our team.”

After Greene scored the Jets last touchdown, he put the ball on the ground like a pillow and rested his head on it. A quiet climax to a loud week.

HONOLULU — Mark Wilson made it through a 36-hole marathon Sunday without a bogey and held on for a two-shot victory in the Sony Open that will take him to the Masters for the first time.

Wilson shot a 5-under 65 in the morning to take a one-shot lead into the afternoon round.

He stretched his lead to four shots at the turn, then had to hang on when Tim Clark and Steve Marino made late runs on different sides of Waialae.

Clark, who started the final round five shots behind, birdied three of his last four holes.

He narrowly missed an eagle putt on the ninth hole and settled for a 64. Then came Marino with two late birdies and one incredible shot that at least gave him hope.

Two shots behind on the par-5 18th, with his feet in the bunker and his ball about chest-high on the side of a hill, Marino blasted a fairway metal from 234 yards away that landed on the front of the green and rolled 40 feet away. His eagle putt narrowly missed, giving him a 68.

Wilson made one last birdie he didn’t need, giving him a 67 for his third career victory.

“It was nice to go right to the tee and not have to think about it,” Wilson said of having only a few minutes before the third and fourth rounds. “I’m thankful it’s over now.”

Wilson, who finished at 16under 264, played his final 40 holes without a bogey. That proved significant at a couple of points in the final round. He got into trouble on the eighth hole and was 150 yards out in the fairway playing his third shot, sure to lose some of his two-shot lead. But he stuffed it to 7 feet for par, then birdied the ninth to expand his lead to four.

Even bigger was his par on the 17th, even though Wilson didn’t realize it.

Clark had already finished at 14-under 266. Marino was starting to charge with backto-back birdies to get to 14 under, while playing in the same group with Wilson.

Wilson hit into a bunker and blasted out some 12 feet past the hole. But his par putt caught enough of the lip to fall, and he clutched his fist. Only later did Wilson reveal that he didn’t look at a leaderboard, not wanting to think about anything but making birdies.

He asked his caddie as they walked toward the 18th green where they stood, and the caddied told him, “Just get it upand-down.” Wilson obeyed, pitching to 4 feet. The putt became easier when Marino missed his eagle.

The victory, worth $990,000, was important to Wilson for a couple of reasons. He is in the last year of his exemption from winning in Mexico in 2009, and

he is coming off a poor season in which he had only two top 10s.

And then there’s the Masters.

Augusta National did not invite winners of most PGA Tour events until 2007, a month after Wilson won the Honda Classic.

His win in Mexico didn’t count because it was an opposite-field tournament, the same week as the Match Play Championship.

Jimmy Walker closed with a 68 to finish alone in fourth, while Matt Kuchar and Matt Bettencourt were another shot back. Stuart Appleby and Shigeki Maruyama, who started Sunday tied for the 36-hole lead, never got going.

Maruyama had rounds of 70-69 to tie for seventh, his first top 10 on the PGA Tour in two years.

Appleby didn’t make a birdie until the final hole of the last round and shot 72.

From top to bottom, 56 players were separated by only seven shots going into the final 36 holes, a recipe for anyone winning from anywhere. But on a quiet day near the shores of Waikiki, there was little movement.

Wilson chipped in from behind the third green for birdie and kept bogeys off his card for a 65, the best score of the third round. It gave him a oneshot lead over Marino, who had a 66, but certainly not much room for error.

Kuchar pulled within one shot early in the fourth round, then dropped out with two straight bogeys. Marino stayed in the picture until a bogey on the eighth, failing to birdie the easy par-5 ninth, and hitting two poor wedges for a bogey on the short 10th.

The big move came from Clark, and he was on the other side of the course.

Because of the 36-hole final — forced by a washout in the first round Thursday — players did not change groups for the afternoon. Clark started the day six shots out of the lead, shot 66 in the morning and made his move on the front nine — his last nine holes. His birdie on No. 6 took him to 12 under, then he nearly made an ace on the par-3 seventh for a tap-in birdie and gave him two good looks at the end.

A 10-foot birdie putt on No. 8 caught the left lip, and his 15foot eagle on the ninth never had a chance.

Also on Sunday: Schwartzel defends Joburg title JOHANNESBURG — Charl Schwartzel successfully defended his Joburg Open title, birdieing the last hole for a 4-under 67 and a four-stroke victory. The South African finished at 19-under 265 at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club in the event sanctioned by the European and Sunshine tours. South Africa’s Garth Mulroy shot a 71 to finish second.

their spot in next Sunday’s game, cornerback Charles Woodson said it didn’t matter whether the Bears intended to knock out Green Bay. “I just look at it that it was a rivalry game.

They wanted to beat the Packers and we wanted to beat the Bears,” he said. “I don’t know if they wanted to get us out of there so they didn’t have to play us or not.”

Smith was just as careful.

“You want to beat whoever you are playing, of course, and you know our rivalry with them,” he said after the Seattle win. “You want to beat the Packers whenever you get an opportunity. Then, it was just about us playing to improve as a football team, that as much as anything.”

Right.

After all, it’s not like the Bears were pouring it on at the end against Seattle to get ready for the Packers — or anything like that.

“I think once the game got out of hand, scorewise, I felt like they were just doing stuff to do stuff,” Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. “Just trying to get all their coverages, all their blitzes on film for their next opponent. I didn’t think it made any sense, really, to do what they were doing.”

Wouldn’t be the first time one or the other team in this rivalry did something that hardly made sense.

Bikeway Continued from D1 “It doesn’t matter if you’re on a carbon fiber road bike or a fullsuspension mountain bike, you’d still be feeling them,” Phillips observed.

Since the recommendations came out last August, local proponents of the Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway have received some good news.

The Oregon Department of Transportation recently received a grant to, on the section of Highway 20 that includes the Twin Bridges Loop, widen the shoulder from the existing two feet to a safer six feet on both sides. According to Bill Hilton, the local ODOT operations coordinator, work on the expansion is expected to begin — weather permitting — as early as April.

What’s more, the Deschutes County Commission has budgeted to both crack seal and chip seal Tweed Road at some point during its fiscal 2011-2012 year.

Tom Blust, Deschutes County road department director, told me he expects the sealing project to get under way this summer.

“We want to partner as best we can in making sure the route is up to standard,” county Commissioner Tammy Baney said. “We realize that Tweed needs some assistance. We want to make sure it can be considered for the scenic bikeway designation.”

Baney added that when roads in the proposed Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway are due for routine maintenance, they will be resurfaced using a smaller rock ag-

Other proposed bikeway routes In addition to the proposed Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway in Central Oregon, four other routes in Oregon were recommended by the Oregon Scenic Bikeway Commission.

They are: • Dorena Lake Loop, a 23mile loop partially following an off-road path and back roads between Cottage Grove and Dorena Reservoir at the southern end of the Willamette Valley.

• Old West, a 199-mile loop connecting the communities of John Day, Prairie City, Dayville and Kimberly in Eastern Oregon.

• Grande Tour, a 130-mile figure-eight route linking the towns of La Grande, Union and Baker City in Eastern Oregon.

•Blue Mountain Century, a 108-mile loop connecting the towns of Heppner and Ukiah in northeastern Oregon. gregate, making for a smoother ride for cyclists. (Using smaller rock when chip sealing was a regionwide recommendation made by the state bikeway committee.)

The local nominating committees that submitted the routes for consideration are led by Visit Bend CEO Doug La Placa and by Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce Director Erin Borla. The notion that possibly three of the nine state scenic bikeway rides would begin in or near the small Western-themed town of Sisters

Redmond Continued from D1 In the West alone I found a Mountain View High School in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Arizona and California each has two Mountain Views.

Not much better is the directional mess some towns find themselves in. Take Salem, for instance. Our state’s capital city is home to high schools named North Salem, South Salem and West Salem — all practical names, certainly, but hardly

was not lost on Borla.

“We feel real proud about that,” she said. “There is a potential for great things to happen in Sisters that revolve around mountain biking and cycling.”

The four routes combine some of the best scenery to be found on Central Oregon’s quiet back roads — from spectacular views of the Cascades to the lava fields atop McKenzie Pass to the pristine Metolius River.

“The diversity of the landscape riding from here to Smith Rock is absolutely unreal,” said Borla. “It gives everybody a flavor of what Central Oregon has to offer.”

For now, Borla and her team of 20 local volunteers are preparing a final marketing and management plan, which she hopes to submit to the state bikeway commission in the next six months.

According to Phillips, the final vote on the state scenic bikeway designation will be made by the State Parks Commission, and that vote could come down as early as late summer.

“We don’t anticipate any problems,” Phillips added.

The Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, Oregon’s one and only existing state-designated bikeway, is a 130-mile route between Champoeg State Heritage Area near Newberg and Armitage County Park north of Eugene.

Maps and descriptions of the bikeway, which serves as a model for Oregon’s scenic bikeway program, are online at www.oregonscenicbikeways.org.

My hope is that Redmond doesn’t fall into the same traps the Bend-La Pine Schools and Salem-Keizer Public Schools have succumbed to with the generic naming of schools. Mazama High in Klamath Falls (named after the ancient volcano Mount Mazama that blew and formed Crater Lake), Cascade High in Turner (Cascade Mountains), Sam Barlow High in Gresham (in honor of a trailblazing Oregon pioneer) and Sheldon High in Eugene (after a Henry D. Sheldon, one of the founders of the state’s public high school system) are all great examples of

NHL ROUNDUP

Smith Rock State Park

Wild blank Canucks The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild are the only blemish on the Vancouver Canucks’ division record.

Anton Khudobin stopped 32 shots for his first career shutout and Minnesota beat Vancouver again, 4-0 Sunday night.

Andrew Brunette, Martin Havlat, Matt Cullen and John Madden scored for the Wild, who had been outscored 13-2 in three straight losses, but managed to get the better of the Northwest Division leaders for the second time in three meetings this season.

“We’re a strange team, there’s no doubt about it, Brunette said.

“You never know what’s going to show up.”

Vancouver has been shut out in two of its last three after a 17game unbeaten streak. The Canucks are 10-0-0 against the rest of the division.

It’s not just this season, either.

Vancouver has lost its last four in Minnesota by a combined 216. The Wild are the first team to beat Vancouver twice in regulation this season.

“This is a great place to play, so it’s tough to put a finger on it,” Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. “We have the same problem in Vancouver. It’s one of those things.”

Mikael Samuelsson didn’t have a good explanation either.

“There’s a lot of good teams out there, and this is one of them,” he said.

Vancouver played much of the game with just five defensemen after Andrew Alberts left midway through the first period because of a right shoulder injury. He will be re-evaluated Monday. The Canucks lost defenseman Aaron Rome for two to three weeks Friday with a knee injury.

“They did the best they could, but it’s a tough job for them,” goaltender Cory Schneider said.

“We’ve been fortunate during this stretch not to lose too many guys, now we’re starting to and we’ll have to deal with it.”

Khudobin was recalled from Houston of the AHL Jan. 8 after it was determined top goaltender Niklas Backstrom would be out for about another week with an injured hip. Jose Theodore, who took over the top goaltender duties, then sustained a similar injury and Khudobin has started two straight.

Backstrom was in uniform for the first time since Dec. 31, serving as the backup.

In his fifth career game, Khudobin was aided by a Wild defense that did a nice job of collapsing around their goalten-

Two of his better stops came in the third period. He lunged back across the crease to stop Sedin on a power play and stopped Keith Ballard with a right pad save.

“Good teams like that don’t play 40 minutes, they play 60 full minutes and it doesn’t matter what the score is. They just play as hard as they can, so I was ready for that,” Khudobin said.

Vancouver’s best scoring chance was late in the first period, but Minnesota defenseman Brent Burns swatted a puck out of the crease as it was about to trickle over the goal line.

Brunette gave the Wild a 1-0 lead early in the second period.

He was stopped coming in from the right side, but Schneider couldn’t cover the puck, and after a scramble, Brunette dove back to poke it in.

Havlat benefited from Alex Edler’s turnover midway through the period, picking up a loose puck in the neutral zone, going in alone and beating Schneider through the pads.

Cards’ Pujols sheds no light on contract talks The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols repeatedly has said he wants to spend his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals. Staring at a spring training deadline for contract negotiations, the team chairman remains hopeful the three-time NL MVP will get his wish.

Pujols declined Sunday to provide any kind of update on negotiations. His agent has said he will cut off talks at the start of spring training if an agreement is not in place, and general manager John Mozeliak confirmed the deadline on Saturday.

A representative of Pujols’ agent stood to the slugger’s left and deflected questions on the topic at Sunday’s news conference before the first baseman held a two-hour, sold-out autograph session at the team’s Winter Warmup.

“Do you want to bring all that into the clubhouse all year, like you guys have been doing the last couple of years?” Pujols

thinking outside the box.

For Redmond, what about Smith Rock High School, home of the Boulders?

How about Deschutes High, or even Des Chutes High School, to pay homage to the original French spelling of the county? Or maybe North Deschutes High School?

Maarty Leunen led Redmond High to the big-school boys state basketball championship in 2003 before starring for the University of Oregon, so what about Leunen High and the Mad Maartians? All right, maybe that’s a bit much.

Back to reality, Roberts Field has

said. “No. I respect my teammates more than this contract.

“That’s why you have to set some deadline on this, and that’s it.”

Neither side would offer a sense of how the talks are going. At one point, Cardinals media relations director Brian Bartow stepped in and said Pujols’ agent had set ground rules for the news conference.

Chairman Bill DeWitt said the Cardinals’ payroll for next season projects to “well above $100 million,” which is the highest ever for the franchise and includes $16 million for Pujols’ option year. DeWitt said Pujols was irreplaceable, both as a talent and as the face of the franchise.

“That’s all wrapped into one.

He’s an iconic player because he’s such a great player,” DeWitt said.

“He’s proven year in and year out that he’s one of the greatest players to play the game.

“He’s never had a bad year and has lifetime totals that are

played a huge role in the development of Redmond — could Roberts High and the Airmen (for boys teams) and Airwomen (for girls) work? Or what about a name that celebrates Native American history in the area (such as Neah-Kah-Nie and Siuslaw on the Oregon Coast)? Groups of the Western Sahaptin and Northern Paiute tribes were living in Central Oregon long before explorers such as Nathaniel Wyeth and John C. Fremont opened up the area to white settlers.

Maybe the district could promote a name that is already in use at an elementary school or middle school — I’m

incredible. You can’t go out and find an Albert Pujols.”

DeWitt said the best word to characterize the Cardinals’ stance was hopeful.

“We want him to be with us,” DeWitt said. “Until something happens one way or another, there’s not a lot to say beyond that.”

Manager Tony La Russa said he’d stay out of the talks.

“I’m not going to say a word,” La Russa said. “Let them work it out.”

Signing free agent Lance Berkman to a $8 million contract signaled a willingness to spend after the Cardinals missed the postseason three of the last four years.

“Sometimes you have to seize the moment, and we did,” DeWitt said. “You go for it.”

Pujols led the National League with 42 homers last season and won his first league RBIs title with 118. He also tied Matt Holliday for the team batting lead at .312.

thinking Obsidian High School — to give the new school a connection with Redmond’s past.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that we live in a pretty amazing region, rich in history and geography. I don’t even live in Redmond, but I’m excited to see what the naming committee comes up with for the community’s new school.

Just please don’t call it Beautiful View, Peak Ridge, or South Redmond.

CYCLING INSIDER | HELMETS: SECURING THE RIGHT FIT Wearing a bicycle helmet while cycling is a good practice no matter what type of ride you choose.

Most avid cyclists are adamant helmet-wearers when they are riding mountain bike trails or taking their road bike for a spin on back roads and highways.

It seems, though, that fewer of us reach for our helmets when we pedal our cruiser bikes to downtown or around the neighborhood with our kids.

And considering that, according to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, the majority of bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles occur at intersections, the “I’m just riding to the park” excuse doesn’t hold much water.

Wearing a helmet at all times is the edict from Commute Options of Central Oregon.

“Commute Options recommends everyone wear a helmet every time they get on a bike,” says executive director Jeff Monson.

“It just makes no sense to risk a head injury.”

And in Oregon, riders ages 16 and under are required by law to wear a helmet.

Through its Safe Routes to School program, Commute Options teaches elementary and middle school children in Central Oregon the importance of helmet safety. Students in the twoweek program also learn how to properly fit their helmet. As part of the program, Commute Options donated some 1,000 helmets to local school children in 2010.

Last week, I talked with Safe Route to School program instructor and manager Brian Potwin about the value of wearing a bicycle helmet and how to secure the proper fit.

Communicating the reasons behind the law: The value of wearing a helmet is a primary focus of Potwin’s bicycle safety instruction.

He begins his sessions by talking about brain trauma and concussions and the brain’s connection to the spinal cord.

Cathy Dorsett, an assistant instructor for Commute Options’ Safe Routes to School Program, assists students last summer from Juniper and Bear Creek elementary schools and Cascade Middle School in Bend on how to properly fit their helmets.

“We talk about all the brain does for you and say, ‘This is a really important thing — it’s the captain of your body and controls all the fun things you do,’ ” he says.

Potwin then brings in local physicians and uniformed police officers from local law enforcement agencies to help kids understand the law.

“That has an impact,” Potwin says. “They speak to the practicalities of why we do things, not just “this is the law.’ ” The right technique: Potwin takes a four-step approach to fitting a helmet.

He first addresses proper helmet size.

“If it’s sitting too high on your head, it’s too small,” he observes. “If it’s really wiggly on your head, it’s too big.”

Next, Potwin reminds his students to remember three points on a face every time they wear a helmet: eyes, ears and mouth.

He then demonstrates the two-finger rule. The

width of two horizontally positioned fingers, he explains, should be the distance between helmet and eyebrows to make sure the helmet is covering enough of the forehead.

“You often see adults and kids with a helmet way back on their head,” he says.

“And that’s not protecting their frontal lobe.”

The two-finger rule also applies to the ears. The triangle of the helmet straps should fit a width of two fingers below each ear, which keeps the helmet properly positioned on the head.

Finally, Potwin recommends two-finger-width space between the chin and the chin strap.

“When you clip the helmet … you want it tight enough so that it won’t fall off but loose enough so that you can breathe,” he says.

When to replace: Helmets do not last forever. In fact, says Potwin, a helmet is effective for only five years. After that time, the helmet’s foam lining degrades and needs replac-

ing.

“It simply gets brittle, and the ability to protect you the way it was designed to decreases,” Potwin explains.

No matter how new a helmet, once it has been involved in a crash or even dropped to the ground from more than five feet, it needs to be replaced, which Potwin notes is industry standard.

“The first impact they have is their last,” he says, adding: “One crash and they’re trash. They are only designed to withstand one impact.”

While prices for helmets can run well over $100, plenty of models for both kids and adults are available at bike shops and sporting goods stores starting at $20.

And, according to Potwin, cyclists should be aware that a less-expensive helmet does not afford less protection in a crash.

“They are all meant to withstand the same sort of impact,” he says.

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. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE" You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 3/16/2011 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. 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. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. 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. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.
