More turf troubles at Summit High’s fields Kroger makes the case for health law

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Back in November, Mountain View High School’s football team prepared to face Sherwood High in the Class 5A state semifinals on Willamette University’s turf field.

So the coaching staff arranged to practice on Summit High School’s state-of-the-art FieldTurf field. The

Cougars spent Thanksgiving morning removing snow and then getting used to the feel of the turf.

The snow removal, however, may have caused some damage to the field, which could require up to $1,500 worth of repairs. But just how much damage there is, if any, remains to be seen. The Mountain View athletic director says his team didn’t do anything wrong.

It’s the latest involving the Summit High School fields, which were damaged by a 2006 storm that created large sinkholes. Bend-La Pine Schools eventually spent $7 million to have the fields fixed, and in 2008 the school board allowed the high school to raise funds to put in the $485,000 FieldTurf artificial surface instead of a grass field.

Now there may be another issue, albeit a small one.

Julianne Repman, the district’s spokeswoman, said the Cougars cleared half the field of snow. To prevent damage, Repman said, Mountain View officials were to use only plastic snow shovels, but they used other implements as well.

Oregon AG testifies in D.C. on measure’s constitutionality

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — While 26 state attorneys general have sued to overturn last year’s massive health care law, Oregon Attorney General John Kroger traveled to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to defend the measure’s John Kroger, constitutionality.

Oregon’s atAfter surviving a yearlong con- torney general gressional fight, the law is now the grounds for a bruising legal battle over whether the federal government can require individuals to buy health insurance, with opinions varying widely depending on which judge, court or legal scholar is weighing in.

In testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Kroger, a Democrat, argued that opponents of the health care law have misunderstood the U.S. Constitution’s protections against government overreach. Because hospitals have to charge insured customers more to offset the cost of caring for the uninsured, it’s clear that not buying insurance can have a large impact on others and can be regulated under the Interstate Commerce clause of the Constitution, Kroger said.

A city of Bend street cleaner cleans up gravel at the intersection of Northwest Trenton and Northwest Vicksburg avenues in Bend on Tuesday afternoon.

By Nick Grube

Basalt by the numbers

The Bulletin

Snow and ice aren’t the only things different lately in Bend’s urban winter environment.

Instead of laying down cinders to help break up the ice and provide more traction for motorists, the city has been using crushed basalt rock, a gravel that doesn’t pulverize as easily.

This, in turn, might reduce the amount of dust that can be kicked up into the air — and therefore into eyes, lungs and windshields — when the wind blows or someone drives through it.

“For the past couple years I really haven’t seen a lot of the fine dust that we have in the years past,” said Frank Messina, an environmental specialist with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Air Quality Program. “From an air quality standpoint, I think things have become a lot better with this other alternative the city has used.”

Messina said a large amount of particulate matter in the air can have negative health impacts on kids, elderly people and anyone with respiratory problems, such as asthma. It can also be “a pain in the neck,” he said.

The DEQ has found that emissions are lower for cities and counties that use basalt rock in-

There are some roads, including the Parkway, North Third Street and U.S. Highway 20, where cinders are still used, but that’s because those are maintained by the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Hardy Hanson, the city’s street division manager, said there are a number of reasons Bend switched from cinders to the basalt rock gravel it uses today. In addition to cutting down on the amount of dust, the gravel doesn’t move

Earth-sized planets found across galaxy

By Dennis Overbye New York Times News Service

Astronomers have cracked the Milky Way like a pinata, and planets are now pouring out so fast that they do not know what to do with them all.

In a long-awaited announcement, scientists operating NASA’s Kepler planet-hunting satellite NASA via New York Times News Service reported Wednes- An artist’s rendering of day that they had six new planets huddled identified 1,235 pos- around a sun-like star. sible planets orbiting other stars, potentially tripling the number of known planets.

Of the new candidates, 68 are 1¼ times the size of the Earth or smaller — smaller, that is, than any previously discovered planets outside the solar system, which are known as exoplanets. Fifty-four of the possible exoplanets are in the so-called habitable zones of stars dimmer and cooler than the sun, where temperatures should be moderate enough for liquid water. Four of these are less than twice the size of Earth, and one is smaller than the Earth.

Astronomers said that it would take years to confirm that all of these candidates are really planets.

around on the ground as much and doesn’t clog stormwater drains the way cinders do.

“Anecdotally, it seems to be working very well,” Hanson said. “(Before) there had been some issues where there was a red cloud all over Bend.”

Basalt can also be reused. It doesn’t break apart as easily as cinder does when it’s driven over by vehicles. This means that when it’s swept up, some of it can be recycled instead of going to the landfill.

Hanson said that of the 6,000 cubic yards of basalt that was used last winter, the city was able to salvage about 800 cubic yards.

About 500 cubic yards was reused on roads, while another 150 cubic yards was used as filler for other projects. The remainder, he said, had too much debris to be useful.

The recycled basalt costs about half as much as newly crushed rock once costs are factored in for sifting through the trash and dust.

One cubic yard of recycled basalt costs about $5. Newly crushed gravel is about $10 a yard.

Cinder costs about $9 to $10 a cubic yard and can’t be recycled, though ODOT sometimes uses it as filler for things like guardrails.

More schools serving up supper

By Tara Malone Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Just after the final afternoon bell, Camren McGee turned the corner in the corridor of his South Side Chicago school and slid into the bustling cafeteria line.

It was 3 o’clock, and Camren had been at Donoghue Elementary Charter School since 8 a.m.

He had another three hours of homework, academic study and crafts before his mother would pick him up after work.

The 8-year-old’s stomach growled at the thought.

But Camren’s school serves three square meals — breakfast, lunch and supper — to help students manage the long day and ensure children have a warm helping of food before they head home at a time when a record number of families nationwide are struggling to provide a basic meal.

“I have a very big appetite,” Camren said as he dug into a serving of whole grain ravioli in tomato sauce. After what he calls his “school supper,” he said, “I feel ready to go.”

While breakfasts and lunches remain the bedrock of school nutrition programs, educators increasingly are adding supper to their menus.

Law aims to keep kids well-fed This year, 333 schools across Illinois, about 85 percent of them in Chicago, dished up dinner with help from a federal initiative that targets low-income students in an effort to narrow the nutrition gap. Demand spikes in January and February, state records show.

Federal officials plan to expand school dinners as part of the reauthorized Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Championed by the first lady, the law extends to all states the federal reimbursement for school suppers, a program initially limited to Illinois, 12 other states and the District of Columbia.

This month, the government proposed new nutrition standards that would increase the allotment of fruits and vegetables and ensure students have a broader choice of green, leafy foods or legumes. Suppers currently include two servings of fruit or vegetables, a protein such as meat or eggs, milk and a serving of grain.

“Because of the long days that children and their parents are having, as people are struggling and working longer hours, (the idea of the law) is to look at ways to close the hunger and nutrition gap for children,” said spokeswoman Jean Daniel of the U.S.

How cold is too cold for recess?

By Tara Malone Chicago Tribune

Brady Elementary first-graders Wendy Sanchez, left, and Andrick Mondragon enjoy an afternoon meal at their Aurora, Ill., school last month. The meals, courtesy of the Northern Illinois Food Bank, are offered to selected students who stay after school.

Department of Agriculture.

Funding is available to schools in areas where more than half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, under federal poverty guidelines. If a school meets the poverty threshold (currently a family of four living on an annual income of $28,665 or less), all students in afternoon programs get a free supper.

To serve meals, schools also must offer after-school academic or enrichment programs that open a door to all children. The French club qualifies; the football team doesn’t.

Privately run after-school programs also can get funding to offer supper.

Officials with the Illinois State Board of Education alert each school about the program as soon as 51 percent of the student enrollment is considered lowincome, agency spokeswoman Mary Fergus said.

Responding to the rising need, the Northern Illinois Food Bank sent its own letter last year to every school district superintendent in the 13 counties the organization covers. They explained the supper program and offered to deliver after-school meals.

“What we realized was kids will often leave school activity programs and go home to either a limited amount of food or no food,” said Elizabeth Donovan, the group’s vice president of hunger relief services.

An after-school meal One Monday afternoon, as most kids raced for the playground, more than four dozen students at Brady Elementary School checked into the cafeteria, grabbed a box of food and ate a quick meal before homework club began.

About 9 percent of the students stay past the closing bell for tutoring and activities that run until 5:30 p.m.

Jackie Rivera, 11, joked with two friends as she ate a turkey and cheese on wheat sandwich, a pear, carrots and animal crackers with low-fat milk.

“Most people don’t get that much food,” Jackie said.

“Yeah, some people don’t have food at home,” Nadia Garcia, 10, added.

School officials and afterschool tutors collect students’ uneaten items into “sharing bins.”

As they leave, kids can grab an orange or carton of milk to take home.

The increase in need has been seen across the country, where 124.7 million suppers were served to students from October 2009 through September. That’s 4.2 million more meals than were served just the year before.

What’s more, 95 percent of the suppers were eaten by children who qualified for a free meal, not only a discounted fare.

And while some may question

whether it’s the schools’ role to serve three meals to students, food advocates contend that the cafeteria is an easy place to reach kids who need the help.

“The more normal it is, the less stigma there is, and the less stigma there is, the more families who need it will have their children participate,” said Diane Doherty, executive director of the Illinois Hunger Coalition.

Back at Donoghue Elementary, 245 students cycled through the cafeteria for supper in an hour.

When the last group left for afternoon classes, school officials turned their attention to the brown paper bags opened and stacked along one wall of the cafeteria, ready to hold tomorrow’s breakfast.

“So many times people forget what role food plays in students’ being able to be attentive,” said Todd Barnett, the school’s director of family and community engagement.

Fresh from his afternoon meal, Camren worked through his math worksheet on decimals. Bent over his desk, a pencil in his hand, he said his belly was no longer growling.

“I’m ready. I can do my homework,” Camren said, a grin creeping across his face.

“And not talk back.”

With temperatures again dipping below freezing in many regions of the nation, some school principals are confronting a perennial dilemma: How cold is too cold for recess?

Schools vary in where they set the temperature cutoff for outdoor play, ranging anywhere from zero to 20 degrees.

It’s not an insignificant matter: If pupils are kept indoors, principals know kids will groan, parents inevitably will call and teachers will hunker down for afternoon lessons complicated by the kids’ pent-up energy. In most cases, indoor recess means backgammon or checkers, a sketch pad or a book — not quite the same release as an open field of fresh air.

Gretchen Waitley senses a difference in her 9-year-old son, Jack, when he’s missed the outdoor break.

“I’ll ask, ‘How was your day?’

He’ll just say, ‘Ehhh.’ He comes home a little crankier,” the Vernon Hills, Ill., mother said.

The indoor time seems not to rattle his 11-year-old sister nearly as much. “For her, it’s less about burning off energy. It’s all about being able to hang out with friends,” said Waitley, who doesn’t call the principal — on principle — to complain about recess temperatures.

Some school officials charged with making the midday decision scrupulously study wind chills, frostbite factors and hourby-hour temperature trends. Others walk the playground with an eye toward sunshine cover and icy slickness.

Glenview, Ill.’s Hoffman School principal Mark Walther has three rules for wintertime recess: • Play in the snow, but don’t dare throw the snow.

• Admire the nearby park district ice-skating rink, but don’t venture inside.

• Romp in the snow with snow pants and boots. But without the winter gear, it’s basketball and four square on the blacktop.

Study: Students need more paths to career success

Colleges see Colorado school touted by Obama slight rise in engineered a dramatic turnaround gifts in 2010 “They really want us

By Nicholas Riccardi Los Angeles Times

By Tamar Lewin New York Times News Service

The nation’s colleges and universities received charitable contributions of $28 billion in 2010, an increase of 0.5 percent from the previous year, according to the annual survey by the Council for Aid to Education.

Support for higher education, measured in total dollars, is at the same level now as it was in 2006, the council said. But adjusted for inflation, it was 8 percent lower last year than in 2006.

“We’re still not out of the woods,” said Ann Kaplan, director of the council’s Voluntary Support of Education survey. “Charitable contributions to education are recovering very slowly.”

Stanford raised $599 million from private donors last year, more than any other university. It was followed by Harvard, which raised $597 million, and Johns Hopkins University, which raised $428 million. But all three raised less in 2010 than in 2009, the survey found, as did most of the top 20 institutions.

While the survey included 996 institutions, the top 20 colleges and universities accounted for a quarter of all gifts to higher education last year.

DENVER — Five years ago, students walked the halls of Bruce Randolph School in packs of 20, to avoid being jumped by rival gangs. Classrooms were full of thrown paper and insults.

The state was poised to shutter the place.

Now the students stroll leisurely down the halls, which are lined with banners from colleges and posters noting awards the institution has won. Its latest accolade came last week, when President Barack Obama singled it out as an example of how troubled urban schools can turn around.

“Three years ago, it was rated one of the worst schools in Colorado,” the president said. “But last May, 97 percent of the seniors received their diploma. Most will be the first in their family to go to college.”

Camera crews and reporters have since traipsed through the school, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. — the former head of Denver’s school system — spoke to a jubilant school assembly via Skype. Those who have worked to turn around Bruce Randolph are heartened by the attention.

“It just gives us a burst of energy,” said Taylor Betz, a longtime math teacher. “It helps confirm we’re doing the right thing.”

But what makes Randolph dif-

to go to college.”

— Noemy Rodriguez, a junior at Bruce Randolph School ferent is that it escaped many of the rules that burden other urban public schools. State legislation was pushed through to allow the 900-student school to extract itself from district regulations and a contract with the teachers union.

“When you get a school leadership and a faculty that are very committed to working together and working in behalf of kids and you lift from them so many of the rules and restrictions that we have, that school can flourish,” said Denver schools chief Tom Boasberg.

The idea remains controversial.

Boasberg said efforts to create similar schools have been fought by the teachers union, which did not return a call for comment.

When it opened in 2002, Randolph’s student body consisted of kids from rival schools and gangs thrust together. The first principal left after two months. By 2005, it was ranked as the worst middle school in the state. The district decided to re-engineer it and sent in Kristin Waters to be the principal.

Waters and her No. 2, Cesar Cedillo, decided to implement strict academic standards. They

interviewed the 48 teachers at the school to see who should stay. “Many people responded with: ‘Yes, but they (the students) come from poverty.

Yes, but they don’t speak English as a first language,’” Waters recalled.

Those teachers, she said, were let go. Only six were invited to stay.

Waters and the teachers decided to expand the school to a 6th-to-12th-grade operation.

As the school grew, Waters was forced by the district’s contract with the union to take teachers who had lost jobs at other schools.

Prodded by reformers, the state Legislature passed a law allowing schools to draw up their own contracts with teachers if 60 percent of the teachers there approve. Randolph became the first school in Colorado to take advantage of the program. Now the administration can quickly decide from year to year if it wants to, for example, replace a librarian and gym instructor with special reading instructors to help students.

Students feel the difference.

“They communicate with their students rather than arguing with them,” junior Larissa Orona said of her teachers.

“They really want us to go to college,” added another junior, Noemy Rodriguez.

The current U.S. education system is failing to prepare millions of young adults for successful careers by providing a one-size-fitsall approach, and it should take a cue from its European counterparts by offering greater emphasis on occupational instruction, a Harvard University study published Wednesday concludes.

The two-year study by the Pathways to Prosperity Project at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education notes that while much emphasis is placed in high school on going on to a four-year college, only 30 percent of young adults in the United States successfully complete a bachelor’s degree.

While the number of jobs that require no post-secondary education have declined, the researchers note that only one-third of the jobs created in the coming years are expected to need a bachelor’s degree or higher. Roughly the same amount will need just an associate’s degree or an occupational credential.

“What I fear is the continuing problem of too many kids dropping by the wayside and the other problem of kids going into debt, and going into college but not completing with a degree or certificate,” said Robert Schwartz, who heads the project and is dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. “Almost everybody can cite some kid who marched off to college because it was the only socially legitimate thing to do but had no real interest.”

The report highlights an issue that has been percolating among education circles: That school reform should include more emphasis on career-driven alternatives to a four-year education.

T S U.S. Senate rejects repeal of health care law

By David A. Fahrenthold and N.C. Aizenman The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — On Capitol Hill, the battle over the health care overhaul law has become a kind of scripted political theater.

On Wednesday, Republicans in the Senate tried to repeal the law, as expected.

Democrats had the votes to beat them, as expected.

But now, the legal fight over the law threatens to overshadow the drama that Washington has been rehearsing.

Two federal judges have struck at a key provision of the legislation, ruling that Congress can’t force individuals to buy health insurance. These cases are almost certainly headed for the Supreme Court, which many predict will decide the law’s fate by the spring of 2012.

And now, legal experts say, it seems possible that the high court might strike down all or part of the law.

“Certainly, it’s becoming more and more clear that there’s a real legal issue here, as compared to a year ago,” said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University, “when people said this was just frivolous and had no chance of succeeding.”

On Wednesday, the Senate voted overwhelmingly, 81-17, to strip an unpopular tax-reporting provision of the law that opponents say overburdens small business. But, in a long day of emotional speechifying, that was about the only thing Democrats and Republicans agreed on.

Cyclone makes landfall in storm-weary Australia

By Michael Cooper

New York Times News Service

New York Times News Service

SYDNEY, Australia — With winds howling at up to 185 mph, a huge cyclone made landfall in the predawn hours today along the coast of the already stormbattered state of Queensland, with widespread reports of property damage and power failures.

Thousands of people crammed into emergency shelters along the northeast coast Wednesday seeking refuge from a storm that the National Weather Bureau had warned could be larger and “more lifethreatening” than any in Australian history.

Witnesses told local news outlets of roofs being blown off and trees flattened as the cyclone moved inland. Power was out in more than 170,000 homes, according to Ergon Energy, the region’s main utility.

More than 400,000 people live in communities along the storm’s 370-mile-long front, including in the cities of Cairns and Townsville, popular jumping-off sites for the Great Barrier Reef. As the storm approached Wednesday, residents in low-lying coastal areas were urged to flee for higher ground.

There were no reports of fatalities or serious injuries this morning. The storm caused limited property damage in Cairns and Townsville, but some of the hardest-hit regions — small coastal villages and inland farming communities — were still isolated by floodwaters and fallen trees.

“We are breathing some sighs of relief this morning, but we stress that this is still very, very early,” the Queensland State premier, Anna Bligh, told

The blizzard that dropped a foot or more of snow across a staggeringly wide area of the country, from Oklahoma up through a paralyzed Chicago and across parts of an ice-glazed New England, finally began to weaken Wednesday. It left behind a long trail of spun-out cars, darkened homes, closed schools and stranded fliers.

But the harsh winter weather was not over, forecasters warned: A bitter cold front threatened to follow the storm, bringing subzero temperatures to many areas trying to dig out.

So even as Chicago was trying to recover from the third-biggest snowfall in its history — a monster of a storm that smothered the city in 20.2 inches of snow, stranded hundreds of drivers on Lake Shore Drive for hours, closed the city’s schools for the first time in a dozen years and whipped up gusts that reached 70 mph at one point — the National Weather Service was still issuing warnings. The temperature there was expected to fall to 5 below zero overnight and to 20 below in outlying areas, with the wind chill making it feel colder.

“It’s going to be a while before the snow and ice melts in a lot of areas,” said Christopher Vaccaro, a spokesman for the National Weather Service, noting that cold air was expected to pour down from northern Wisconsin all the way to Houston, which is forecast to have a hard freeze.

More than 6,000 flights, about a fifth of the country’s air traffic, were canceled Wednesday, according to FlightAware.com.

Sexual assaults persist in military

By Phillip O’Connor St. Louis Post-Dispatch

FORT LEONARD WOOD, MO. — Two days after she joined her military police unit, the 19-yearold private found herself drunk, sick and locked in a barracks bathroom where she said a soldier in her unit sexually assaulted her.

Less than three months before, on Christmas Day 2009, the same soldier used similar tactics to assault a 20-year-old woman new to the 988th Military Police Company, prosecutors alleged in a courtmartial last month.

Six years after the Pentagon committed to addressing sexual assault within the ranks, such cases remain a fixture in military courtrooms. Of 19 pending courts-martial at Fort Leonard Wood, eight involve sexual assaults by soldiers, mostly on other

service members. In many cases, the circumstances are sadly familiar and often difficult to prosecute.

The victim and accused often know each other, and, in some cases, may have had a previous sexual relationship. Alcohol is usually involved.

“We have adults who are engaging up to a certain point in consensual behavior,” said Lt. Col Jim Tripp, the fort’s deputy staff judge advocate. “That’s what makes it so difficult to prove. They go out, get drunk, they’re alone and then the stories diverge.”

About 88,000 soldiers pass through Fort Leonard Wood every year, including about 55,000 undergoing their initial military training.

Often young soldiers fresh out of basic or advanced individual

training rented hotel rooms in nearby towns and drank excessive amounts of liquor.

One weekend, the head of the fort’s criminal investigation division visited several hotels and found passed-out drunk female soldiers in open rooms.

To combat the problem, about 18 months ago, unit commanders prohibited some soldiers from leaving the sprawling post about 140 miles southwest of St. Louis.

Since the new rule went into effect, officials say reports of off-post assaults have dropped considerably.

But as last month’s courtmartial showed, they haven’t disappeared.

“We keep seeing the same cases, over and over and over,” said Col. Jim Agar, the fort’s staff judge advocate.

Yemen’s leader says he will step down in 2013

By Laura Kasinof And Nada Bakri New York Times News Service

SANAA, Yemen — In another reverberation of the popular anger rocking the region, the longtime president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, announced concessions Wednesday that included suspending his campaign for constitutional changes that would allow him to remain president for life and pledging that his son would not seek to be his successor.

“No extension, no inheritance, no resetting the clock,” Saleh said Wednesday during a legislative session that was boycotted by the opposition. “I present

these concessions in the interests of the country. The interests of the country come before our personal interests.”

He ordered the creation of a fund to employ university graduates and to extend social security coverage, increased wages and lowered income taxes and offered to resume a political dialogue that collapsed in October over elections. In answer to opposition complaints that voter records are rife with fraud, he said he would delay the April parliamentary elections until better records could be compiled.

But it remained to be seen

whether Saleh, whose current term ends in 2013, was simply trying to siphon vigor from the anti-government protests planned for Thursday. Those demonstrations are intended to build on gatherings last week that turned into the largest protests against Saleh, who has ruled for 32 years.

He promised in 2005 not to run again but changed his mind the next year.

“The president didn’t say anything new,” said Muhammad alQutabi, a spokesman for the opposition. “What he offered today didn’t even meet the opposition’s old demands.”

EPA plans new limits on toxic chemicals in drinking water

By John M. Broder New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Wednesday that it would impose limits on permissible levels of a new set of toxic chemicals in drinking water, including the first standards for perchlorate, a compound found in rocket fuel and fireworks that has contaminated water supplies in 26 states.

The move, announced by the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Lisa Jackson, is a major step toward updating the nation’s clean water laws, which have lagged far behind environmental and health science.

Numerous studies have found that hundreds of industrial and agricultural chemicals, including several known carcinogens, are present in municipal water

systems. The nation’s laws and enforcement programs have not kept pace with spreading contamination, posing significant health risks to millions.

Wednesday’s decision to regulate perchlorate reversed a 2008 finding by the Bush administration that a nationwide standard for the chemical was unnecessary and would do little to reduce risks to human health.

Two-thirds of the country seemed to be reeling from one form of extreme weather or another. There were tornado warnings along the Gulf Coast.

“There are a number of towns that took the full brunt where we don’t yet have any assessment from any official source.”

Early reports from the town of Tully, about 60 miles south of Cairns, suggested that many houses and businesses were damaged.

“It’s just like weapons have come through, bombs have come through and destroyed everything,” a Red Cross coordinator, Noelene Byrne told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Photos uploaded to local news websites by Tully residents showed houses ripped to shreds and sheets of corrugated tin roofing lying tangled in the town’s main street.

The storm hit the coast near the village of Mission Beach at about midnight before pushing inland, dumping heavy rain over a large part of Queensland, which was already saturated from weeks of torrential downpours. The storm, Tropical Cyclone Yasi, had been categorized as a Category 5 storm but was downgraded Wednesday by the National Weather Bureau to Category 2.

Bligh said at a news conference Wednesday evening that the “destructive core” of the cyclone had reached some areas of Queensland.

Early today, Bligh warned residents to stay indoors in Cairns and Townsville as a second storm surge sent water crashing into some lowlying areas. By midday, the Queensland police were giving residents clearance to return to their homes. Officials have warned that the heavy rains could produce flash flooding in areas not hit by the cyclone.

Polar bear’s marathon swim illustrates dramatic ice melt Los Angeles Times

In one of the most dramatic signs ever documented of how shrinking Arctic sea ice impacts polar bears, researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska have tracked a female bear that swam nine days across the deep, frigid Beaufort Sea before reaching an ice floe 426 miles offshore.

The marathon swim came at a cost: With little food likely available once she arrived, the bear lost 22 percent of her body weight and her year-old female cub, who set off on the journey but did not survive, the researchers said.

“Our activity data suggests that she swam constantly for nine days, without any rest.

Which is pretty incredible,” said George Durner, a USGS zoologist and a lead author of the study published in December in the journal Polar Biology.

“We have observed other longdistance swimming events. I don’t believe any of them have been as long in time and distance as what we observed with her,” he said. “How often does this happen? We’re trying to get a handle on that.”

Polar bears spend much of their waking lives on the shifting Arctic sea ice floes. They survive mainly on the ringed seals that are also dependent on sea ice and swim in abundance in the relatively shallow coastal waters of the continental shelf.

But sea ice has been melting dramatically in recent years, forcing polar bears during the fall open-water periods to either forage from shore or swim longer distances in search of sea ice.

Bears that retreat to land usually find little or no food there, and “typically ... spend the duration fasting while they await the re-formation of ice needed to access and hunt seals,” according to a 2008 government study.

Conservation groups, the state of Alaska, the Alaska Oil and Gas Association and several other groups are locked in litigation in Washington, D.C., over polar bear protections and how much

Planets Continued from A1 Ways to confirm a planet’s existence include using groundbased telescopes to measure their masses, or inspecting them to see if background stars are causing optical mischief. Many of them might never be vetted because of the dimness of their stars and the lack of telescope time and astronomers to check them all. But statistical tests of a sample suggest that 80 percent to 95 percent of the objects on it are real, as opposed to blips in the data.

“It boggles the mind,” said the Kepler team’s leader, William Borucki, of the Ames Research Center in Northern California.

At first glance, none of them appears to be another Earth, the kind of cosmic Eden fit for life as we know it, but the new results represent only four months’ worth of data on a 3 1/2-year project and have left astronomers optimistic they will eventually find Earth-like planets.

“For the first time in human history, we have a pool of potentially rocky habitable-zone planets,” said Sara Seager of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who works with Kepler.

“This is the first big step forward to answering the ancient question, ‘How common are other Earths?’”

At a news conference at NASA headquarters in Washington on Wednesday, Borucki noted that the Kepler telescope surveys only one four-hundredth of the sky. If it could see the entire sky, he said, “we would see 400,000 candidates.”

He is the lead author of a paper that has been submitted to The Astrophysical Journal describing the new results.

In a separate announcement, to be published in the journal Nature today, a group of Kepler astronomers led by Jack Lissauer of Ames said it found a star with six planets — the most that Kepler has yet discovered around one star — orbiting in close ranks in the same plane, no farther from their star than Mercury is from the sun.

This dense packing, Lissauer said, seems to violate all the rules astronomers have begun to discern about how planetary systems form and evolve.

“This is sending me back to the drawing board,” he said.

needs to be done to slow the pace of climate change to prevent further shrinking of their habitat.

In November, the Obama administration designated more than 187,000 square miles along the north coast of Alaska as “critical habitat for the polar bear, but since the federal government considers the bears threatened, not endangered, there are no provisions to take dramatic steps to halt further deaths in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas.

But U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled that the federal government erred in its presumptive standard that bears must be in “imminent” danger of extinction before being considered endangered. The parties are due back in court on Feb. 23.

The difference between “threatened” and the more serious “endangered” status is crucial in this case. Attorneys for the Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council argue that an endangered finding will require the government to impose new controls on greenhouse gases across the country to protect the bears.

In any case, they say, the bears are imperiled.

“They’re drowning and starving now, and all the scientific studies show an incredibly high likelihood of extinction of twothirds of the world’s polar bears in the next 40 years ... and that includes all the bears in Alaska,” said Kassie Siegel, who is arguing the case for the Center for Biological Diversity.

Kepler, launched into orbit around the sun in March 2009, stares at a patch of the Milky Way near the Northern Cross, measuring the brightness of 156,000 stars every 30 minutes, looking for a pattern of dips that would be caused by planets crossing in front of their suns.

The goal is to assess the frequency of Earth-like planets around sun-like stars. But in the four months of data analyzed so far, a similar telescope looking at our own sun would have been lucky to have seen the Earth pass even once. Three transits are required for a planet to show up in Kepler’s elaborate data-processing pipeline, which means that Kepler’s next scheduled data release, in June 2012, could be a moment of truth for the mission.

For dimmer and cooler stars, the habitable, or “Goldilocks,” zone, would be smaller, however, and planets in it would rack up transits more quickly.

Scientists had eagerly anticipated Wednesday’s data release since June, when Kepler scientists issued their first list of some 300 stars that were suspected of harboring planets but held back another 400 for study. In the intervening months, Borucki said, some of those candidates have been eliminated, but hundreds more have been added that would otherwise have been reported in June.

One of the 400 was a sun-like star about 2,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus that went by the name of KOI 157, for Kepler Object of Interest. In the spring of 2009, astronomers noticed that it seemed to have five candidate planets, four with nearly the same orbital periods, and in the same plane, like an old vinyl record, Lissauer said. Two of them came so close that every 50 days one of them would look as large as a full moon as seen from the other, Lissauer calculated.

Borucki said the growing number of small planets revealed by Kepler was a welcome change from the early days of exoplanet research, when most of the planets discovered were Jupiter-size giants hugging their stars in close orbits, leading theorists to speculate that smaller planets might be thrown outward from their stars by gravitational forces or dragged right into those suns.

“Those little guys are still there,” he said, “and we’re delighted to see them.”

A city of Bend street cleaner cleans up gravel along Northwest Vicksburg Avenue in Bend on Tuesday.

Basalt Continued from A1 So far, Hanson said, the city has used about 6,000 yards of basalt on its streets this winter.

Kroger Continued from A1 “I would simply suggest there is no constitutional right to require other people to pay for your health care when you decline to take responsibility for yourself,” Kroger said.

Judges in Florida and Virginia have ruled that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and 26 state attorneys general have signed on to lawsuits seeking to repeal the law.

Two other courts have upheld the law.

Advocates on both sides of the question say the law’s fate is nearly certain to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The panel of legal experts who testified alongside Kroger offered a range of Constitutional justifications

Turf Continued from A1 “During that process they displaced some of the rubber sand granules,” she said.

FieldTurf recommends its fields have at least 1.5 inches of those granules, called infill, to protect the field’s seams and grooves from wearing thin.

The infill also allows players to get a grip on the field with their cleats; without enough infill, a player’s footing could be compromised.

Steve Coury is the vicepresident of SportTech, the agency that handles FieldTurf sales in Oregon.

He said each FieldTurf field has about 9.2 pounds of rubber and sand infill per square foot. And the displacement of the infill happens in several ways. One is when players track it off the field on their shoes. Also, “When you do remove snow ... you’ll get some stickage of the infill on the snow,” he said.

Coury said Summit’s field was subject to improper methods of snow removal.

“Usually you do it by plow,” he said. “You have a rounded PVC pipe on the blade so there’s less that would stick on the snow.”

Mountain View Athletic Director Dave Hood said he

That’s a little on the high side, he said, though the city has another 4,000 yards to 6,000 yards it can rely on should the weather turn.

“We’re only halfway through winter, so we’ll see what hap-

pens,” Hanson said. “It’s still guesswork. I have my fingers crossed.”

MINNEAPOLIS — The postal worker was stunned when the package moved by itself and fell to the floor.

Then came the sounds of heavy panting.

Within minutes, she and co-workers had unwrapped a tightly sealed box and rescued a 4-month-old puppy that a Minneapolis woman tried to mail to Georgia. “It’s just crazy,” said Minneapolis Police Sgt. Angela Dodge.

The air holes punched in the box were covered up with mailing tape, and the priority mail trip would have taken at least two days, she said.

“It was supposed to be a birthday gift for a family member. It would have been kind of traumatizing to get a dead puppy,” Dodge said.

The dog would have been dead on delivery, agreed police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer. “I’ve been doing this for 17 years. This is a new one on me.”

for and against the individual mandate, but the most basic disagreement came down to a basic question: Is requiring individuals to buy health insurance similar to other federal regulations and taxes, or does it set a new and dangerous precedent?

Constitutional expert and attorney Michael Carvin said the only reason the individual mandate is necessary to the law is to offset the financial impact of a new requirement that insurance companies must accept patients who have pre-existing health conditions.

“What we are conscripting the American citizen to do is to ameliorate the economic harm that Congress has visited on those insurance companies,” Carvin said. “If that is proper, then there is literally nothing Congress can’t do,” he continued, later in his testimony.

Carvin also argued that the

law also takes a new step by regulating people who haven’t done anything, unlike other regulations on small businesses or farmers. And because someone who chooses to stay home on their couch rather than buy health insurance cannot be involved in interstate commerce, Congress can’t tell them what to do, Carvin said.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, RIowa, echoed Carvin’s reasoning.

The Supreme Court, Grassley said, “has never before allowed Congress to regulate inactivity by forcing people to act.”

Under questioning from Sens.

Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Kroger cited studies showing that health care for the uninsured costs Oregon families with insurance about $1,500 annually. Because of that, Kroger said, Congress should have the right to require people to obtain insurance.

“It clearly does affect commerce,” Kroger said.

Duke University Law professor Walter Dellinger said the only thing that’s new about the health care law is that it tries to solve problems in the health care market through private companies, rather than more direct government action. The legal arguments by the law’s opponents effectively say Congress is on firmer constitutional ground creating a single-payer health care system or public insurance option, Dellinger said.

“I never thought I would hear conservatives say there is something more intrusive about requiring someone to buy products on the private market than having a single government provider,” Dellinger said.

doesn’t think his program caused any lasting trauma to the field.

“We were sweeping it and some of the infill gets blown around,” he said. “People think that’s damage, but basically we have to go back and sweep it back around. What you really don’t want is to damage those fibers and we were really careful not to do that.”

The group, he said, used backpack snowblowers, sweeper machines and plastic snow shovels to clear the field.

“The FieldTurf guidelines say you can totally use those,” Hood said. “They give you these guidelines for snow removal.”

Coury said the infill displacement may not be much of an issue, and said the field is safe and usable.

“We’re waiting for the weather to unthaw and to be clear of snow,” he said. “Then we can really assess, is it a matter of

grooming and brushing to get (the field) back to where it was, or do we need to add a little bit of (infill)? That’s still sort of to be determined. But it’s definitely not a case where we have to bring crews over tomorrow.”

The job could be free, Coury said, or cost just the price of gas for a crew to get to Bend from the valley. But if the company determines it needs to add rubber infill, the job could cost between $1,000 and $1,500.

“FieldTurf, the company, is going to come out to give us a hard bid after the field surface thaws to see if there is a need for a remedy, to see if there was any damage,” Repman said. “If there is damage at all, then the Mountain View football program will be taking responsibility and paying for it.”

Hood believes the field will likely have to be raked and they will have to redistribute the infill.

“When you look at infill, where would it have gone? It’s there, it just needs to be redistributed,” he said. “It’s our property, it’s the taxpayers’ property and we’re sensitive to that in all times, not just lean times. ... We want to take care of the property, we’re lucky to have (the field).”

But how the school might pay for the replacement infill is up in the air.

“We certainly don’t have it in the budget, so we’d have to take care of it out of boosters,” he said. “We’d fundraise and pay for it. But I’m assuming it’s not going to be much. We certainly don’t have much to spend but we’re going to take care of it and make sure everyone’s OK with it.”

A street battle to decide future of the Arab world

By Anthony Shadid New York Times News Service

CAIRO — The future of the Arab world, perched between revolt and the contempt of a crumbling order, was fought for in the streets of downtown Cairo on Wednesday.

Tens of thousands of protesters who have reimagined the very notion of citizenship in a tumultuous week of defiance proclaimed with sticks, homemade bombs and a shower of rocks that they would not surrender their revolution to the full brunt of an authoritarian government that answered their calls for change with violence.

The Arab world watched a moment that suggested it would never be the same again — and waited to see whether protest or crackdown would win the day.

Words like uprising and revolution only hint at the scale of events in Egypt, which have already reverberated across Yemen, Jordan, Syria and even Saudi Arabia, offering a new template for change

Egypt Continued from A1 The Obama administration seemed determined Wednesday to put as much daylight as possible between Obama and Mubarak, once considered an unshakable U.S. supporter in a tumultuous region, with Gibbs once again raising the specter of a cutoff of U.S. aid to the Mubarak government if the Egyptian president failed to bend.

“There are things that the government needs to do,” he said.

“There are reforms that need to be undertaken. And there are opposition entities that have to be included in the conversations as we move toward free and fair elections.”

Those elections, scheduled for September, should be held “the sooner the better,” said the State Department spokesman, Philip Crowley.

Regional implications The open rupture between the United States and Egypt illustrates how swift and dramatic changes in Cairo are altering the calculus of the entire region and the administration’s foreign policy agenda. Besides Egypt, there were upheavals this week among other close U.S. allies in the fight against al-Qaida, and the long struggle to reach a Middle East peace. Israeli officials expressed concern that Mubarak’s abrupt exit could jeopardize the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.

Even as the White House was trying to react to the latest flare-up of violence in Egypt on Wednesday — Gibbs criticized attacks against the media in Egypt and against “peaceful demonstrators” — officials at the Pentagon, the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the White House were running various scenarios across the region in an effort to keep up with events.

What would the covert U.S. war in Yemen look like if the supportive Yemeni president were to be forced out? Will Mubarak’s successor duplicate his support of the Middle East peace process?

Will the shifts in the region benefit Islamic extremists, who will try to capitalize on unrest, or will it show the Arab street the power of a secular uprising?

“A full range of events are being discussed in many buildings throughout Washington,” Gibbs said.

As evidence of how far the rift has gone, a senior Egyptian official reached out to a reporter to criticize Obama’s remarks.

“There is a contradiction between calling on the transition to begin now, and the calls which President Mubarak himself has made for an orderly transition,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“Mubarak’s primary responsibility is to ensure an orderly and peaceful transfer of power. We can’t do that if we have a vacuum of power.” He said that the Egyptian government has “a serious issue with how the White House is spinning this.”

For the Obama administration and the Egyptian government, the flip from allies to open confrontation has been fast. When former President George Bush was briefed ahead of his recent call to Mubarak — a call Bush volunteered to make because he was an old friend — Bush was given no instructions to push the leader toward the exit, according to people

in a region that long reeled from its own sense of stagnation. “Every Egyptian understands now,” said Magdi al-Sayyid, one of the protesters.

The protesters have spoken for themselves to a government that, like many across the Middle East, treated them as a nuisance. For years, pundits have predicted that Islamists would be the force that toppled governments across the Arab world. But so far, they have been submerged in an outpouring of popular dissent that speaks to a unity of message, however fleeting — itself a sea change in the region’s political landscape.

In the vast panorama of Tahrir Square on Wednesday, Egyptians were stationed at makeshift barricades, belying pat dismissals of the power of the Arab street.

“The street is not afraid of governments anymore,” said Shawki al-Qadi, an opposition lawmaker in Yemen, itself roiled by change.

“It is the opposite. Governments and their security forces are

familiar with the conversations.

“No one wanted the vacuum of power that would happen if Mubarak left too soon,” said a former senior official who was consulted by the White House.

Now, though, administration officials are calling for visible steps from the Mubarak government.

At a minimum, the Obama administration wants to make sure that political opponents of Mubarak are included in negotiations — which the United States wants to see begin at once — over how to restructure Egypt’s political system in a way that will take into account the grievances of the protesters.

U.S. officials do not want a repeat of past promises from the Mubarak government for free elections that were followed by a shutting of the process to its opposition. After watching Mubarak’s statement — in which he fell far short of sweeping reform — Obama decided to toughen his own language further, demanding that change began immediately.

“The language was crafted after he spoke,” a senior administration official said.

“They want something better than when Mubarak said, ‘I want my Parliament to amend the articles of the Constitution relating to the presidential elections,’” said Brian Katulis, a foreign policy expert at the Center for American Progress. “If you’re the opposition, you’re thinking, ‘This is the Parliament which was elected in sham elections? No way.’”

More than just a rift Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Egypt’s vice president, Omar Suleiman, in the afternoon to reinforce Obama’s call for Mubarak to begin a transition immediately. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both called their counterparts Wednesday as well.

Officials said the administration is worried about a call for even larger protests Friday and said Wednesday’s clashes had narrowed Mubarak’s options.

Obama’s private emissary to Mubarak, Frank Wisner, abruptly left Cairo on Wednesday evening after only two meetings, one with the president and one with Suleiman.

“We felt that he had done what he could do,” the official said.

“They had a conversation, and we felt that it had gone as far as it could.”

For the United States, the unfolding crisis is about much more than just a rift with an ally.

With the popular revolts in Egypt and Yemen — and a government already deposed in Tunisia — U.S. counterterrorism officials are concerned that radical factions in those countries could find a new foothold amidst the chaos. The United States is heavily reliant on foreign partners, and officials and outside experts said that losing Mubarak or President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen would deal a short-term blow to its counterterrorism campaign.

Or perhaps not.

“There’s part of this that’s dangerous to al-Qaida,” said Juan Zarate of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who was a top counterterrorism official during the George W. Bush administration. “If the street protests lead to a peaceful, pluralistic transition, that does huge damage to the al-Qaida narrative.”

David E. Sanger contributed reporting from Washington.

afraid of the people now. The new generation, the generation of the Internet, is fearless. They want their full rights, and they want life, a dignified life.”

The power of Wednesday’s stand was that it turned those abstractions into reality.

The battle was waged by Mohammed Gamil, a dentist in a blue tie who ran toward the barricades of Tahrir Square. It was joined by Fayeqa Hussein, a veiled mother of seven who filled a Styrofoam container with rocks. Magdi Abdel-Rahman, a 60-year-old grandfather, kissed the ground before throwing himself against crowds mobilized by a state bent on driving them from the square.

And the charge was led by Yasser Hamdi, who said his 2-year-old daughter would live a life better than the one he endured.

“Aren’t you men?” he shouted.

“Let’s go!”

“They want to take our revolution from us,” he declared.

Egypt’s largest opposition force, has entered the fray. In a poignant moment, its followers knelt in prayer at dusk, their faces lit by the soft glow of burning fires a stone’s throw away. But Abdel-

Rahman’s description of the uprising as a revolution suggested that the events of the past week had overwhelmed even the Brotherhood, long considered the sole agent of change here.

Facebook treads carefully after its vital role in Egypt’s protests

By Cecilia Kang and Ian Shapira The Washington Post

In Egypt, the tried-and-true tool for opponents of President Hosni Mubarak in recent years has been Facebook. Most recently, it was on Facebook — which boasts 5 million users in Egypt, the most in the Arab world — where youthful outrage over the killing of a prominent activist spread, leading to the protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and Mubarak’s promise to step down this year.

But Facebook, which celebrates its seventh birthday Friday and has more than a half-billion users worldwide, is not eagerly embracing its role as the insurrectionists’ instrument of choice. Its strategy contrasts with rivals Google and Twitter, which actively helped opposition leaders communicate after the

Egyptian government shut down Internet access.

The Silicon Valley giant, whether it likes it or not, has been thrust like never before into a sensitive global political moment that pits the company’s need for an open Internet against concerns that autocratic regimes could limit use of the site or shut it down altogether.

“The movement in Egypt was very dependent on Facebook,” said Alaa Abd El Fattah, an Egyptian blogger and activist in South Africa who has a strong following in Egypt. “It started with anger, then turned into a legitimate uprising.”

The recent unrest in Egypt and Tunisia is forcing Facebook officials to grapple with the prospect that other governments will grow more cautious about permitting the company to operate in their countries without restrictions or close monitoring, according

to David Kirkpatrick, author of “The Facebook Effect,” an authorized biography of the company.

“I have talked to people inside Facebook in the last week, and they are debating this internally,” he said. “Many countries where Facebook is popular have autocracies or dictatorships, and most of the countries have passively tolerated their popularity. But what’s happened in Egypt or Tunisia is likely to change other countries’ attitudes, and they’ll be more wary of Facebook operating there.”

A Facebook spokesman, Andrew Noyes, declined to make anyone at the company available to discuss its role in the Egypt

protests or its strategy in politically fraught environments. In a short statement, Noyes said: “Although the turmoil in Egypt is a matter for the Egyptian people and their government to resolve, limiting Internet access for millions of people is a matter of concern for the global community.

It is essential to communication and to commerce. No one should be denied access to the Internet.”

If you have been living with back pain or neck pain, are you really living?

If you think you’ve tried everything, you need to read this.

Pills and shots temporarily mask pain, and often times do more harm to the body than good. Surgeries are invasive, cause new pains, require weeks of downtime, and still may not be successful at treating the cause of the pain. It’s time to look at an alternative that avoids all of these downfalls because it is fundamentally different. Redmond Wellness & Chiropractic offers such an alternative with our spinal decompression program

that is like no other in Central Oregon.

We know our program works because we have already seen outstanding success with our patients. People suffering from excruciating, lifestyle-altering pain have entered our program. When they completed our spinal decompression program, they were able to return to work, get back to the activities they love, and cancel those shots and surgeries!

The x-rays showed that I had degenerative disc disease and arthritis in the spine.

The pain started in my right buttock, radiated across my thigh, and into my kneecap.

Traditional chiropractic care hadn’t helped. After three treatments on the SpineMed table about 70% of the pain was gone. Upon completion of treatment I am 85% pain free, I can stand up straight and don’t have to lean over the shopping cart, and can walk almost a mile. Best of all, Mr. Grumpy is gone!

--Dave D., Redmond, November 2010

Spinal decompression therapy uses state of the art equipment from SpineMed with a variety of technologies and therapies tailored to each patient’s needs. And it’s all completely noninvasive! You can get relief from:

• Back Pain • Neck Pain • Herniated/Bulging Discs

Thanks to spinal decompression I feel better than I did before the pinched nerve in my back! According to the M.D. who read my MRI - my back was a mess and worn out with a lot of arthritis. He recommended a nerve block which didn’t help. The next recommendation was surgery. That’s when I visited Dr. Herrin at Redmond Wellness & Chiropractic and discussed spinal decompression. After 7-8 treatments I was pain free and off vicodin. I was even able to go back to work! I would recommend this as an alternative to anyone considering back surgery. The nurse called to tell me when the surgery date was scheduled, and I’m feeling so great that I canceled it! Thanks to everyone at Redmond Wellness & Chiropractic!

Cleanup concerns loom at Washington nuclear site

By Craig Welch The Seattle Times

Risk of disasters This one-of-a-kind plant, 250 miles northeast of Bend, is supposed to turn the nuclear slop from Hanford’s 177 underground waste tanks into glass. Today, the plant is more than half-constructed. The DOE and its contractors are making the case to Congress that design and planning are all but finished.

But parts of the plant still face risks of bursting into flames, exploding or triggering uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions, according to project documents, interviews and formal critiques by scientists at other federal agencies.

RICHLAND, Wash. — Rising from the desert sand outside Washington state’s Tri-Cities area is a construction project unlike any in history.

The buildings going up in this gated-off stretch of tumbleweed are reinforced with as much steel as three Eiffel Towers. The concrete structures are being threaded with enough pipe to funnel water 200 miles to Seattle. Workers are installing giant melting machines, which will burn so hot they could turn gold to soup.

This is supposed to be the most sophisticated garbage disposal on Earth, the centerpiece of the Western world’s costliest environmental cleanup.

It’s supposed to rid the Hanford nuclear reservation of its deadliest poisons: 53 million gallons of radioactive waste, now buried in aging, leaky tanks.

But after nearly a quartercentury of preparation — and cost estimates that have nearly tripled to $12.2 billion — builders still haven’t resolved this project’s most vexing technical and safety issues.

That leaves some worried the federal Department of Energy and its contractors may build themselves into a corner and produce a plant that’s dangerous or doesn’t treat as much waste as expected. They fear construction will drag on and increase environmental risk, or cost billions more to get right.

Department of Energy worker Erik Olds walks inside a mockup of one of the Hanford nuclear reservation’s 177 underground tanks. The tanks hold 53 million gallons of radioactive waste from 40 years of plutonium production. A million gallons have leaked into the ground.

But year after year, cost overruns and delays dogged cleanup.

The government spent $197 million building processing plants and vaults to dispose of waste by mixing it with cement, only to drop the idea. It bagged plans to melt and seal nuclear material in insulated boxes — after spending $418 million. Contractors got bonuses for doing work after scheduled start dates, and for completing projects not needed for years.

Problems vs. progress As recently as 2009, auditors learned a Hanford contractor had spent $103,000 in taxpayer money buying frozen dinners for employees working overtime. An inspector figured out the practice was probably illegal but had been written into Hanford labor agreements since 1955.

But there has been progress, too. Gone are hundreds of millions of pounds of contaminated dirt and concrete, along with nearly one-third of Hanford’s buildings. Gone, too, are basins that housed leaky pools filled with tens of thousands of deteriorating nuclear-fuel rods. The spent rods are now packed in steel and buried in concrete vaults.

Low-activity waste will be poured into these shorter, stockier cannisters.

Still, after more than 20 years of full-time cleanup, the site’s most urgent problem remains: the tanks.

Hanford’s tanks range in size from 55,000 gallons to 1 million gallons, and they were built between the 1940s and the 1980s.

The oldest 149 have only a single shell, and much of the liquid from them has been pumped into

newer double-shelled tanks. Remaining waste is a mix of sludge, cakey salts, gas and liquid. In all, the 177 tanks hold two-thirds of the country’s high-level bombmaking wastes.

Over the years, each has become a distinct and changing caustic brew. As tanks filled during the Cold War, workers piped contents from one to another.

Some spilled during transfer.

Some was dumped intentionally into the ground to make room for more. Chemicals and heavy metals were added to neutralize waste, or to separate reusable nuclear materials. Tank managers poured in sodium so acids wouldn’t dissolve tank walls.

Water was added and boiled off.

Record-keeping was poor or inaccurate. No one knows precisely what’s in them.

“The waste was changing and chemically reacting all the time,” said Dirk Dunning, with Oregon’s Department of Energy.

Visions of a plant that could melt this garbage into glass to be safely stored forever gained traction during the late 1980s. The process is used in Europe and South Carolina, but for substantially smaller quantities of waste. It’s never been tried with such a toxic mix.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Deschutes sees drop in default notices The number of default notices filed in Deschutes County in January dropped nearly 21 percent from December and about 52 percent compared with January 2010, according to data from the county clerk’s office.

The 193 notices of default filed last month represented the third straight month of year-over-year declines. Filings in December declined by nearly 24 percent from December 2009, and defaults filed in November fell by 14 percent compared with November 2009.

A notice of default is the legal document that initiates foreclosure proceedings. However, not all notices of default end up in foreclosure.

Some experts have suggested the decline in defaults, which has also been seen elsewhere in the nation, means fewer homes will enter foreclosure this year. But others have said the foreclosure freeze, imposed by some lenders late last year over procedure and documentation concerns, slowed the filings.

Bill Anderson, president and CEO of Bend-based Mid Oregon Credit Union, has been named chairman of a newly formed association that represents 196 credit unions in Oregon and Washington.

Anderson will head the board of the Northwest Credit Union Association, the product of a Jan. 1 merger of the former Credit Union Association of Oregon and the Washington Credit Union League, according to a news release.

Northwest Credit Union Association member institutions have a combined $46.1 billion in total assets, 4.2 million members, nearly 12,000 employees and 840 branches.

Anderson will continue in his job at Mid Oregon, which reported $141.9 million in assets and more than 20,000 members in Central Oregon as of Dec. 31.

Hulu and Viacom strike new deal Viacom Inc. and Hulu have finally come to terms to provide Web audiences better access to “The Daily Show” and “Jersey Shore.”

The companies said Wednesday night that they had signed a new agreement to bring Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” back to Hulu, the premier website for viewing free TV episodes.

The agreement, effective immediately, will also bolster Hulu Plus, the relatively new subscription service that costs $8 a month. Hulu Plus subscribers will have delayed access to some Viacom shows, like MTV’s “Jersey Shore” and TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland.”

Public vs. private: job picture varies U.S., Oregon have seen gains in government sector since ‘07, but tides are starting to shift locally, regional economist says

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Over the three years since the recession hit in December 2007, the private sector lost nearly 7.6 million jobs nationwide and 145,700 across Oregon, while government employment grew by 253,000 nationwide and by 11,200 in Oregon, according to average annual employment statistics reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Oregon Department of Employment.

Carolyn Eagan, regional economist with the WorkSource Oregon Employment Department in Bend,

said private-sector employment fell in all three Central Oregon counties based on non-seasonally adjusted numbers (which are also used to calculate the state and national averages) from December 2007 through December 2010.

Crook County was hit the hardest, with a decline from 5,760 to 4,150, for a loss of 1,610 jobs, or 28 percent. Deschutes County saw its employment fall from 61,680 to 50,030 for a loss of 11,650 private-sector jobs, or 18.9 percent; and in Jefferson County, private-sector employment dropped from 3,540 to 2,930

for a loss of 610, or 17.2 percent.

Government employment held up far better across Central Oregon, with Deschutes County reporting 210 more government jobs, for a 2.5 percent increase from 8,510 in December 2007 to 8,720 in December 2010, while government employment in Crook County shrank by 190 for a 14.7 percent decline from 1,290 to 1,100; and Jefferson County reported a loss of 220 government jobs for an 8.1 percent decline from 2,720 to 2,500, Eagan reported.

Small businesses get expert tips on social media

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Local marketing mavens agreed Wednesday that small businesses should use social media and search engine optimization to increase revenues and improve customer relations.

Six of Central Oregon’s top marketing gurus conveyed that common point to an audience of about 60 at a Wednesday luncheon held at the Phoenix Inn Suites in Bend and sponsored by the nonprofit Opportunity Knocks.

Though the marketing leaders’ perspectives and proving points differed, all agreed that social media is important to small businesses.

James Gentes, founder and CEO of Bend social media marketing firm The Social Business, acknowledged the potentially substantial cost of establishing and maintaining an effective presence on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and foursquare.

benefits: a primer

By Gail MarksJarvis Chicago Tribune

The good news is that slowly, but surely, the number of new people filing for unemployment insurance is going down a little.

The bad news is that people are still losing jobs, PERSONAL their and half of FINANCE those out of work have been without jobs for six months. It’s the worst period for employment since the Labor Department started tracking it in the 1940s.

But the other piece of good news for those who have received pink slips is that unemployment insurance benefits, which provide some pay while people are looking for work, are available for up to 99 weeks in some states. That’s a result of Congress’ action in December.

Workers in all states can receive up to 26 weeks of benefits from their state-funded unemployment compensation programs.

WASHINGTON — In late 2009, the federal government gave $151 million in grants to advance 37 clean energy ideas deemed too radical or too preliminary to attract much private financing — like electricity storage that mimics photosynthesis and batteries that double or triple the energy stored per pound.

Since then, six of the projects have made enough progress to attract $108 million in private venture capital financing — about four private dollars for every dollar the taxpayers spent to get them rolling — the Department of Energy plans to announce today.

While none of the projects is expected to produce commercial products for years to come, the Obama administration is emphasizing the early signs of success as it seeks to persuade a sometimes skeptical Congress to approve more money for clean energy innovation.

Success is probably 10 to 20 years away, said Arun Mujamdar, director of the program, which is called the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.

But the private investment is “a good sign, an endorsement of some sort,” he said. “The best thing the government can do is to catalyze investment.”

WASHINGTON — If a company’s financial reporting were so bad that its auditor had pointed out significant weaknesses in its accounting for seven years running, the Securities and Exchange Commission would most likely be all over it.

But what if the company were the SEC itself?

Since the commission began producing audited statements in 2004, the Government Accountability Office has faulted its reporting almost every year.

Last November, the GAO said the commission’s books were in such disarray that it had failed at some of the agency’s most fundamental tasks: accurately tracking income from fines, filing fees and the return of ill-gotten profits.

“A reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of SEC’s financial statements would not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis,” the auditor concluded.

However, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2010, Eagan said the tide began shifting in Central Oregon, with job losses beginning to mount in the government sector, and declining in the private sector.

All three counties in the region posted overall job losses in September, October, November and December, based on non-seasonally adjusted data reported by the Employment Department.

In November 2010, two out of the three counties in Central Oregon reported declines in government jobs, compared to November 2009, including a reduction of 30 government jobs in Crook County and 170 fewer government jobs in Deschutes County. Jefferson County was a mixed bag, with a loss of 10 federal jobs and gains of 30 state jobs and 320 government education jobs, Eagan said.

More job losses were reported from November to December, with Crook County losing 130 private-sector and 50 government jobs; Deschutes County losing 140 private-sector and 210 government jobs; and Jefferson County losing 60 private-sector and 30 government jobs, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

Continued from B1 “We lost a huge chunk of our construction sector in Central Oregon and across the state,” Eagan said. “It was a combination of construction and secondary wood products. Job losses in those two industries, along with manufacturing job losses, had a big impact on the private sector.”

Eagan said the gap between the big losses in private-sector jobs and the smaller losses in government sector jobs in Central Oregon mirrored statewide and national trends.

“Typically, public sector jobs are the last ones hit during a recession,” Eagan said.

She said private-sector employers have greater flexibility to react by laying off workers early on during a recession, in response to declining sales, whereas government employers are constrained by union contracts, which often extend over a two-year budget cycle.

“It is difficult to reduce government employment until the two-year contract ends,” Eagan said.

In addition to those factors, Eagan said, government employment was bolstered for the bulk of the downturn because of a surge in federal hiring of Census workers and the allocation of federal stimulus funds that bolstered government

Continued from B1 And he added that blogging or tweeting can seem counterproductive to small businesses concerned with the bottom line.

“At the end of the day, I need to show the ROI (return on investment),” he said.

But if a company can engage with its customers online on such platforms, customers become loyal to the brand and turn a onetime transaction into a longerterm business relationship, Gentes said.

Gentes cited research that showed customers trust recommendations from friends much more than traditional advertisements.

And when customers have negative experiences with businesses, he said, “You’ll get a head start on customer-service issues,” through tweets, Facebook status updates and other immediate on-

Clean energy Continued from B1 While the government took ownership stakes in automakers and banks that got taxpayer help, it has not done so with the energy companies it has financed through the program, known as ARPA-E, so taxpayers reap no direct benefits.

Congress modeled the program after the better-known Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, or DARPA, which provided early seed money for the Internet and sponsored competitions to build sophisticated robot vehicles, among other projects.

Most of DARPA’s projects fail to produce commercial products, but the basic research it finances has sometimes led to breakthroughs.

Benefits

into the unemployment system as a matter of course, and if you lose your job there, you do not get coverage. Also, if you have a business that fails, you are not typically considered eligible for unemployment. People collecting unemployment benefits must show that they are looking for a job.

• Can students get unemployment? Students who lose a job and could not find another could be eligible for unemployment, even if a couple of months have passed since their last job. States base unemployment benefits on a person’s work history and pay during the past five quarters. A person doesn’t have to work throughout that period but must have worked for a certain amount of time.

• If you accept a part-time job, does that end unemployment?

You are allowed to accept parttime work to supplement unemployment work up to certain limits. The rules vary by state, but in some you can earn up to 40 percent of your unemployment benefits without losing any benefits.

Continued from B1 But under the extension passed by Congress, federal funds kick in to carry unemployed workers through additional weeks. And some states also allocate additional money.

Although states vary, the following points will give you a rough idea of what to expect: • Apply immediately: To get unemployment compensation, you must apply, and it takes time.

So as soon as you are terminated, even if you have a severance package, apply immediately. If you are denied, you can appeal.

• Who gets unemployment?

Generally, if you were working and lost your job through no fault of your own, you get unemployment compensation. But if you quit, you generally won’t get benefits. If your employer failed to pay into the unemployment fund due to, say, hard times, you should still get coverage. Yet some employers, such as some religious institutions, don’t pay

Sun and wind success For the first round of ARPA-E projects, the Energy Department focused on wind and solar energy production, energy storage and the capture and storage of carbon dioxide.

No carbon storage project attracted outside investment, in part because investors no longer expect a government cap on carbon dioxide emissions to help drive demand.

But sun and wind power and storage technologies did lure investors.

Envia Systems, which received $4 million in government money, used a material licensed from Argonne National Laboratory to build a better cathode, or nega-

line feedback.

Amanda Patterson, marketing and communications manager at Bend’s G5, said a well-crafted and consistently updated blog can go beyond serving as “the base camp for your other social initiatives.”

It can also demonstrate industry expertise, build credibility and indicate a sense of transparency, she said.

As for Twitter, it’s “this online cocktail party, basically,” on which you “bump into people and get to know them a little bit,” Patterson said.

But the site can be more than just a mere mingling spot. The G5 Twitter account is beginning to turn up leads for business, Patterson said.

Facebook is “a place where we let our hair down, so to speak,” where company employees might not browse with revenue generation in mind, Patterson said.

But a business’ Facebook page can contain links directing visitors back to a company website,

and it can also provide “an inside peek” at employees’ daily experiences and other content that can humanize the company, Patterson said.

Businesses can use search-engine optimization — using the right words and a plethora of programming adjustments — to drive more traffic to their websites, said Jody O’Donnell, G5’s search-engine optimization manager.

And how does it all come together into a campaign?

The Bend firm Every Idea Marketing shared the results of work it did for Bend’s Newport Avenue Market.

Wendie Every, Every Idea Marketing’s founder, said the firm was seeking to attract new, loyal customers for the grocer. With Every Idea Marketing’s help, the grocer implemented a rewards card and used social networks for its marketing.

“It’s just one tool in the toolbox,” Every said of social networking.

“It’s not the be-all, end-all silver

bullet.”

But it certainly can bring results in a campaign if usage of social media is well thought out, she added.

Beth Larsen, a development associate at Bend nonprofit Volunteers in Medicine, said that finding the right audience would be a challenge for her resourcestrapped organization.

Still, she plans to disseminate content for the organization, which offers health care to the poor and homeless in Deschutes County, on Twitter and other social networks. Such work could attract more volunteers and raise awareness of the work volunteer doctors do, Larsen said.

“I’m afraid of this social media stuff, because it seems so overwhelming to me,” Larsen said.

“That’s my No. 1 resolution this year: to figure it out.”

tive terminal, for a battery. Envia, which is based in Newark, Calif., recently signed a contract with General Motors to begin delivery in 2014 of a material that will let batteries store roughly twice as much electricity per kilogram compared with the batteries now going into the Chevrolet Volt, said Michael Sinkula, the co-founder of the company.

Envia raised $17 million recently from an alliance of investors that included GM, and it is now pursuing research on a better anode, or positive terminal, which will yield an even bigger improvement in the weight-to-energy ratio, Sinkula said.

Another battery company, 24M, a spinoff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and A123 Systems, got a $2.55 million federal grant and took in $10 million in venture capital money. It is also working on a lithium-ion battery with much higher energy density.

A solar cell company, 1366 Technologies, received $4 million from ARPA-E and has raised $33.4 million in private money. 1366, based in Lexington, Mass., casts silicon wafers, a basic building block of solar cells, directly into their final form, which is eight-thousandths of an inch thick. That cuts the price of the finished solar cells about 40 percent, the company says.

Sun Catalytix, of Cambridge, Mass., uses a catalyst to help break up water molecules when they are exposed to electric current. The hydrogen from the water is absorbed by other molecules into an energy-rich material that can be burned in an internal combustion engine or converted back

into electricity, said Amir Nashat, who is the acting chief executive of the company and also a principal in a venture capital firm Polaris Venture Partners.

Polaris and others, including Tata of India, have put $9.5 million into the company, after it got a $4 million ARPA-E grant. But Sun Catalytix is still years from shipping a product, Nashat said.

The two other ARPA-financed companies that attracted private investment are General Compression, which is developing a demonstration plant for a method to store electricity for later use and leveraged a $750,000 grant into $12 million in private capital; and FloDesign, which is working on a more efficient wind turbine based on the design of jet engines and used its $8.3 million grant to eventually raise another $27 million.

publican who is chairman of the House Science Committee, said he favored funding basic research but that Obama’s goal of financing more clean energy technologies suggested to him an emphasis on commercialization. “These are activities often best left to the private sector,” he said.

Another question is whether the government should be seeking an equity stake in these startups, much as it took in bailed-out companies like GM and AIG. Lerner, of Harvard, said he had seen Energy Department labs do that in trying to commercialize their discoveries, but it sometimes discouraged private investors from joining in.

Arati Prabhakar, a partner at U.S. Venture Partners and a former DARPA official, said if the government took an equity stake as venture capitalists did, it would steer companies toward commercialization instead of scientific exploration, which is also important. Her firm has not invested in ARPA-E companies.

Vinod Khosla, whose venture firm, Khosla Ventures, invested in three ARPA-E companies before or after they received government funding, predicted that half of all the companies that got grants would eventually attract private investment.

Government funding, he said, was an important validation of their prospects. “If I see a company and I’m evaluating it, I don’t see all the competitive technology,” he said. “ARPA scientists don’t understand all the business issues, but they probably saw all the competitors.”

Uncertain future The Energy Department wants to promote ARPA-E’s successes now in part because the program’s funding is in question.

ARPA-E’s initial $400 million in funding came from the Recovery Act, to be spent over two years.

Thus, it received no new appropriation last year. When Congress failed to pass a budget for the current year and simply continued the previous year’s funding levels, it also got nothing. The Obama administration intends to seek money for the next fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1.

But money is tight in Washington and there is some philosophical opposition to the program.

News Corp. rolls out ‘newspaper’ for iPad Apple vice president Eddy Cue gives a demonstration Wednesday during the unveiling of The Daily, a tabletonly news publication, at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

The Daily will cost 99 cents per week, or $40 per year.

By Jeremy W. Peters and Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

Rupert Murdoch today pushed the send button on The Daily, a news application designed for the iPad that he hopes will position his News Corp. front and center in the digital newsstand of the future.

“New times demand new journalism,” Murdoch said on stage at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York before an audience of reporters, employees and advertising partners.

The Daily will be a first of its kind for tablet computers: a general-interest publication that will refresh every morning and will bill customers’ credit cards each week for 99 cents or each year for $40.

In journalistic and marketing ambition and scope, The Daily recalls USA Today when it be-

gan in 1982: a publication of no city or region that aspires to be a first-read in the homes of millions of Americans despite having no brand recognition.

The Daily takes that same sensibility into the digital age by trying to enliven the printed word with photographs, video and interactive features that work seamlessly together.

“This is about as close as you’re going to get to the first big test of content on the iPad,” said Mike Vorhaus, the president of the media consulting firm Magid Advisors, who had been shown The Daily in advance.

For Murdoch and News Corp., The Daily represents something far grander and more ambitious than a new business undertaking: It is an opportunity to try to reinvent the business model for news publishing.

“There’s a growing segment of

the population here and around the world that is educated and sophisticated that does not read national print newspapers or watch television news,” Murdoch, the owner of TV stations and newspapers around the world, told a room full of journalists and media executives. “We can and we must make the business of newsgathering and editing viable again.”

With vibrant photos, crisp black-on-white text and highdefinition video, The Daily is pan-media — a news website, a glossy magazine and a network newscast. Its stories run the gamut from breaking global news to gossip to feature writing.

Murdoch indicated that The Daily was intended for a generation of consumers who expect “content tailored to their specific interests to be available anytime, anywhere.”

Whole Foods implements animal welfare ratings

By Brian Gaar Cox Newspapers

AUSTIN, Texas — Whole Foods Market Inc. is implementing a new animal welfare rating system for its meats and other livestock products that officials say will help improve the lives of farm animals.

The five-step rating system, which was enacted in coordination with the nonprofit Global Animal Partnership, uses a tiered system starting at step 1 (animals aren’t kept in cages, crates or crowded) to the highest tier — where animals spend their entire lives on the same

farm.

Color-coded tags will let shoppers know how various products are rated. Check out a complete list of standards for cattle, chickens and pigs at www.globalanimalpartnership .org/the-5-step-program/ourstandards/.

SEC Continued from B1 The auditor did not accuse the SEC of cooking its books, and the mistakes were corrected before its latest financial statements were completed. But the fact that basic accounting continually bedevils the agency responsible for guaranteeing the soundness of U.S. financial markets could prove especially awkward just as the SEC is saying it desperately needs money to increase its regulatory power.

Like the rest of the federal government, the SEC is operating without an increase in its budget, which was $1.1 billion last year. With President Barack Obama talking about extending the freeze and lawmakers continuing their criticism of its embarrassing performance before the financial crisis, the agency’s prospects for more money appear bleak.

That has ominous implications for investors. The SEC’s technology systems, for example, lack the ability to perform sophisticated analysis of large batches of financial material.

As a result, a congressional report says, SEC analysts sometimes resort to printouts, calculators and pencils.

While investigating the “flash crash” of May 6, 2010, SEC computers were so strained by the crush of data from just one day of trading that it took three months to figure out what had happened.

In recent weeks the commission has reduced travel to examine regulated companies, and it cannot fill many jobs vacated in the last year.

Meanwhile, Mary Schapiro, the SEC chairwoman, says that to carry out the DoddFrank Act, the regulatory overhaul signed by Obama last year, the commission needs 800 additional employees, a more than 20 percent increase over its 3,750-person work force.

In an interview, Schapiro said she understood the skepticism over her call for more resources, but she noted that Dodd-Frank significantly expanded the agency’s responsibilities over hedge funds, derivatives and credit ratings agencies.

“When you look at the composite picture of how the agency has changed and I hope will continue to change,” she said, “I think we’re really poised to be that agile regulator that the country has a right to expect of us.”

Her efforts have attracted some support as well as warnings of the consequences of cutting the SEC’s budget now.

“This is a serious threat to financial reform,” said Rep. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who steered Dodd-Frank through the House. “What you get is a disproportionate assault on our ability to regulate the financial industries,” he said.

Jefferson treasurer admits she made mistakes Council

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

Jefferson County Treasurer Deena Goss says she knows she made mistakes with county investments and will welcome changes to her office recommended by the county commissioners as a result.

Goss, who had been absent from her office since mid-January for medical reasons, told the Jefferson County Commissioners on Wednesday morning that she had invested

public money in “corporate notes” in 2009 and 2010 and discovered in January 2011 that those investments were not allowed according to the county invest- Deena Goss ment policy.

“When it was brought to my attention ... I made the choice to sell (the investments),”

Goss said. “The next Short Term Board meeting to allow us to add corporate notes (to the county investment strategy) is not until April. I did not want to leave the public money at risk during that time frame.”

A review of the portfolio by county staff found that 32 investments worth $20.2 million were invested in corporate notes that are prohibited by county policy.

That amount of money accounted

for 51.5 percent of the county’s total investment portfolio. Oregon statute limits the amount of corporate debt a county can invest in to 35 percent of its total portfolio.

The same statute also limits a single corporate debt investment to 5 percent of a portfolio. It was found that an investment in Bank of America worth $1.96 million made up 5.8 percent of the county’s portfolio.

Greg Walden gives a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition to a Bend High School student Wednesday afternoon during a visit to recognize the school for winning Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe Drive, a statewide competition to collect used shoes.

Walden congratulates Bend High, discusses economy with businesses during visit

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

The federal budget, government regulations and health care were a few of the topics that U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, addressed during two of his stops in Bend on Wednesday, part of an eight-day swing he is making through the district.

“Today I thought what I would do is depress you all ... Let’s start off with the budget,” Walden said during his talk to the Bend Rotary.

Without any changes, the federal deficit in fiscal year 2011 will be about $1.5 trillion, he said.

“If it were a business, they would have bolted your doors and sent you away,” Walden said.

“We’re leaving a debt to the next generation that is both unprecedented and unconscionable.”

House Republicans are planning to propose a budget next week that would cut about $55 billion to $60 billion, Walden said — and people will notice the cuts.

“We’re going to have to cut things we all care deeply about,” he said.

Walden mentioned the team he led during the transition to a Republican-led House, and new rules including requiring three days for representatives to read a bill before it’s voted on, reducing

Workers approve union membership

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

About 600 employees at St. Charles Bend will have union representation after final votes were tallied Wednesday.

The workers will be part of a local chapter of the Service Employees International Union, which already represents about 7,000 hospital employees in Oregon and southwest Washington.

At St. Charles, it will include primarily service and maintenance workers such as food service staff,

dispatchers and employees who work in equipment processing.

In a news release Wednesday, the hospital said it would now begin the process of assembling bargaining teams in anticipation of contract negotiations.

But the narrow vote — 267 for representation and 261 against — left hospital employees deeply divided, with those in favor of the union gathering in celebration and those against it angry and vowing to kick the union out.

that he said “make no sense and cost us jobs.”

Those include things like an EPA emission regulation that would end up stemming the development of biomass plants, Walden said, and a proposed dust law that farmers told him would be broken if they drove a pickup down a gravel road.

“We all want clean air and clean water, but we also have to have common sense to allow jobs to continue,” he said.

Walden also visited Bend High School on Wednesday, to help unveil new athletic equipment the school had won in a Nike-sponsored, statewide competition to collect used shoes. He is also scheduled to visit Pacific Pellet, a Redmond renewable energy company, at 10 a.m. today.

Wednesday afternoon, at the Chamber of Commerce event, Bend Mayor Jeff Eager asked what the House was doing about the new health care rules. Walden said the House would hold oversight hearings, talk with governors about the effects on states and examine individual sections of the law.

“We’re going to look at all these different issues, and look at replacements,” he said.

Prosecutors began making their case against Darrell Middlekauff in Deschutes County Circuit Court on Wednesday, laying out the first of the evidence they plan to present in a murder trial expected to last for several weeks.

Darrell Middlekauff, 48, is accused of killing his wife, Brenda, and burying her body in a metal barrel. Brenda Middlekauff was 40 when she disappeared in July 2002. Her body was discovered three years later, shot three times in the head and partially buried on private land a short distance from the Middlekauffs’ home south of Sunriver.

In late 2006, eight days before he was due to complete a prison Darrell sentence for first-degree bur- Middlekauff glary, delivering drugs and tam- is accused of pering with a witness, Darrell killing his wife Middlekauff was arrested and and burying charged with aggravated mur- her body in a der. He has been held at the Des- barrel. chutes County Jail since then.

Middlekauff has opted for a non-jury trial before Judge Stephen Tiktin, ruling out the possibility of a death sentence. He could face life in prison if convicted.

In her opening statement, Deschutes County Deputy District Attorney Beth Bagely described Brenda Middlekauff as “honest, naive, vulnerable and trusting,” a “perfect victim” for Darrell Middlekauff.

Police holding truck suspected in hit-and-run

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Bend Police are holding the vehicle they believe was involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash on Third Street on the night of Jan. 26.

The crash, a short distance north of the intersection of Third Street and Revere Avenue, killed 48-year-old Anthony “Tony” John Martin of Bend. Martin was pushing his bicycle across the street when he was struck by a southbound vehicle that did not stop after the crash.

Lt. Ben Gregory said Wednesday night he was not yet able to provide additional details on

the case.

The vehicle, a 2008 GMC pickup, was “recovered” by police on Friday, police said in a news re- Anthony lease. Greg- John Martin ory said he was unable to elaborate on how the truck was acquired by police.

Debris found at the scene had suggested that the vehicle struck that struck Martin was a General Motors pickup built between 2007 and 2010.

Gregory said the department

has also identified a “person of interest” in the case, but declined to say if the person of interest is the registered owner of the vehicle, or if he or she has been interviewed by police.

No arrests have been made.

7 detectives on the case Beyond the person of interest, police have been aggressively pursuing the case, Gregory said, with all seven detectives from the department spending all day Monday and Tuesday following up on leads.

“We do have active leads. We have had all of the detectives on this case since Monday chasing those leads and I can tell you they are currently working on those now,” he said. “Those kinds of things can be anything from talking to people to obtaining subpoenas or search warrants, all those kinds of things.”

Gregory said it is too soon to know when police will be able to release additional information about the suspect vehicle or their person of interest.

Compiled from Bulletin staff reports

Traffic enforcement detail scheduled A traffic enforcement detail is scheduled to take place along U.S. Highway 97 between the cities of Bend and Redmond on Friday, according to a news release.

Law enforcement officers from several agencies in Central Oregon will be patrolling this portion of the highway between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Officers will be on the lookout for drivers failing to obey speed laws, failing to move over for emergency vehicles and following too closely.

The goal of the traffic detail is to increase safety awareness and compliance.

City of Redmond faces shortfall Redmond expects to have about a $2 million budget short-

fall in the 2011-12 fiscal year, according to City Manager David Brandt.

The shortfall has two main causes: declining property values and increasing operations costs that include scheduled cost-of-living raises. That shortfall comes out of the $17 million operating budget, which covers things like salaries and benefits.

In Redmond, the city expects property values to have declined by about 12 percent in the last year, Brandt said. In estimating the shortfall, the city increases the projected decline in values to be conservative, he said.

On the operations side, the cost-of-living raises would cost Redmond about $400,000 if they were given.

Though the city has about $6 million in reserves, the city wants to avoid spending too much of that because of pressures the move could put on

cash flow. The economy, the city believes, will not improve in the immediate future and the reserves could be needed then, Brandt said.

Redmond will not finalize its budget for several months, but everything remains under consideration as it considers how to bridge the gap, Brandt said.

Non-union employees will not receive raises next year, Brandt said, and the city may ask its union employees to give up cost-of-living raises.

Other savings could come from delaying future capital projects, such as road work.

Brandt is hopeful the city can save enough money without laying anyone off. “We’re going to try and avoid that,� Brandt said. “Certainly, it’s possible, given the size of the deficit.�

Next fiscal year, the city expects to have about 150 employees total.

Continued from C1 At the top of the list was the project set that included $18.3 million worth of improvements to Reed Market Road, from Third Street to Twenty-Seventh Avenue.

That section of road is considered by city officials to be one of the more overburdened and heavily trafficked streets in the city, as it receives upward of 20,000 travelers a day.

The second option would be to forgo that project and instead focus on Empire Avenue from Eighteenth Street to Twenty-Seventh in northeast Bend. Those improvements are estimated to cost $15 million, and would serve a portion of the city that includes what officials call employment land that could help spur economic development.

For the most part, councilors seemed to support one of those two options. There was little enthusiasm for a third, $20 million alternative, which would include several projects to upgrade the Murphy Road corridor. “The big difference is are we talking about Reed Market or Empire,� Councilor Mark Capell said. “I’m a little bit torn because I like Reed Market because of the traffic impacts and I like Empire because of the economic development.�

City staff also presented a list of alternative projects outside of the three options that the city could pursue, should there be more money left over from the bond measure.

Some of those included a $2 million roundabout at Mt. Washington Drive and Simpson Avenue, and traffic signal improvements at Neff Road and Purcell Boulevard.

Public comments Councilors did not make a decision Wednesday on which of the three major options they wanted to pursue.

Many said they would like to wait until they receive public input before making their final decision on what will be on the ballot. “I think we really have to be careful that we’re matching this (with) what people actually want,� Councilor Jim Clinton said. “There may be some sort of smallish project that a lot of people would ben-

Lengthy project list Bend has deferred about $12 million to $14 million dollars in street maintenance over the past several years, and has a lengthy list of road projects that it can’t afford. The bond would help the city catch up on some of these projects and bring the road system up to current standards.

The bond, which must be approved by voters, would be paid back through a property tax levy that officials say would replace a current levy that is set to expire next fiscal year. That levy is an urban renewal tax of $0.27 per $1,000 on assessed value — or about $54 per year for a $200,000 home — and was used to pay for downtown improvements.

At Wednesday’s meeting, Bend Finance Director Sonia Andrews said the city is working with its consultant to see how much the levy would actually be. She said that — based on preliminary estimates — the city could raise $30 million with a 20-year bond.

Based on those numbers, she said the current projections for paying back the debt would be a $0.27 per $1,000 of assessed value property levy for the first 10 years of that bond. This would be reduced to a $0.15 to $0.17 per $1,000 of assessed value levy for the next 10 years. “There are different bond structures we could do to achieve our goal,� Andrews said. “This is just one example.�

Councilors must decide what projects they want to pursue with the bond measure by Feb. 16. The reason for the rush is that there is a March 17 deadline to get the measure on the May ballot.

Incarcerated kids may be released after budget cut As lawmakers seek to close gap, state’s youth authority stands to lose 425 beds

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

Rogue Community College student Tiffani Morrison talks about going to CSL Plasma in Medford to sell her plasma and supplement her unemployment income. Many college students like Morrison are willing to tolerate a needle in their arm twice a week to supplement their income.

Plasma donors need cash, fault economy

By Damian Mann (Medford) Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — Strapped for cash, Tiffani Morrison endured six hours of waiting at CSL Plasma in Medford on Monday, hoping to get hooked up to a machine that separates plasma from blood.

“I’ve been donating plasma to get food,” said the 41-year-old Talent resident, who is going through Rogue Community College’s nursing program. “With the economy the way it is, it’s a creative way to make a little extra cash.”

Many college students like Morrison are willing to tolerate a needle in their arm twice a week to supplement their income. After the plasma is separated from the blood, the remaining blood cells are returned to the body.

Morrison said she receives $800 a month in unemployment compensation, and after a $500 rent payment little is left for other expenses. She was a plasma donor when she lived in Arizona, but this was her first time at CSL Plasma in Medford, which saw hundreds of donors show up Monday.

“They’re looking for more people,” said Morrison, who waited hours while filling out paperwork and sitting in line. “It’s been a long morning.”

Donors can receive up to $300 for the first month, though that can depend on incentive programs and a sliding scale. If they go twice a week, donors can average about $35 a week.

Business is booming Business is booming at the Medford CSL center, which plans to add 15 employees to its current total of 75.

“For CSL Plasma, it is a large center,” said Chris Florentz, spokesman for CSL. An averagesized facility has 45 employees.

He said the center’s impact on the economy — from wages and

donor compensation — exceeds $5 million a year.

Donations were on the increase nationally even before the recession hit. In 2005, plasma donations numbered 10 million, increasing to 12.5 million in 2006 and 15 million in 2007. By 2008, plasma donations hit 18.5 million, Florentz said.

Plasma, a yellowish, clear liquid, is extracted from the blood and used for medications and in operations.

Donors are screened, and the plasma is pasteurized as a further precaution to ensure there are no infectious agents in the blood.

At the Medford facility, potential donors are asked to show their arms to make sure they aren’t using intravenous drugs.

If a person has received a tattoo or piercing during the past year, they are also excluded, said Florentz, adding that he couldn’t reveal the type of testing used on a donor’s blood.

‘Gas money’ Todd Morehead, a 38-year-old Medford resident and RCC student, said Monday was the first time he had signed up to give plasma.

“I’m using it for gas money,” he said. “Gas prices are getting crazy.”

A health and physical education student, Morehead said he doesn’t like needles or the long wait.

“It’s hectic down here,” he said. “I’ve been here almost three hours reading my books.”

Morehead said he wasn’t sure how he’d like being hooked up to the machine for about 45 minutes while the plasma is extracted, but thought he could do it twice a week.

“If it’s not a painful process, why not?” he said.

The American Red Cross also relies on college students for blood donations.

“Our college students tend to be outstanding donors,” said Donna Taylor, donor and sponsor representative for the Red Cross. “One population that has increased donations is college students.”

She said she didn’t have statistics or any way of measuring the impact the plasma facility is having on Red Cross blood donations.

She did say, however, “We do need more blood donors to keep up with the continuous supply.”

No money for blood Unlike the plasma facility, no money is exchanged for blood donations at the Red Cross.

Taylor said she has friends who have given plasma to get extra money.

“I have friends who are college students, and they are struggling,” she said.

The Medford Police Department reports only a minimal number of problems at the CSL center over the past two years.

A total of 41 complaints have been received — none drug related, said Lt. Bob Hanson.

“Two a month — that’s not too bad,” he said.

Police arrested 16 people for causes ranging from disorderly conduct to outstanding warrants.

The parking lot is often filled with cars and people milling about. Donors often wait for hours at CSL, particularly if it’s their first time.

Morrison, who waited six hours at CSL on Monday, was finally turned down because she was running a slight temperature. “If you are a little dehydrated or run down, they won’t let you donate,” she said.

Disappointed, Morrison said she plans to go back later this week.

“If I could think of a different way to make money, I would do it,” she said.

PORTLAND — Hundreds of Oregon juvenile offenders are scheduled to be released into less-restrictive environments and hundreds more now under supervision could be released back into their communities.

That’s the likely result of a major budget cut to the Oregon Youth Authority proposed by Gov. John Kitzhaber on Tuesday as part of his attempt to bridge a $3.5 billion budget gap that could expand with the next economic forecast.

The youth authority is scheduled to lose 425 beds, all of those likely coming from offenders who were put under supervision at the discretion of a judge.

Oregon Youth Authority spokeswoman Ann Snyder said the youth authority’s most serious offenders won’t be released, and those who were sent to the system by a judge — as opposed to a sentence from the Department of Corrections — will be moved into the less-restrictive environments.

“There is no situation where youth with simply be moved out of a facility and put into the community without supervision,” Snyder said.

Kitzhaber proposes $33 million cut Snyder said the Legislature could do away with the cuts in its current session, or at least dampen their severity. The agency took a $33 million cut in Kitzhaber’s budget proposal, down almost 13 percent to about $231 million for the biennium that begins on July 1.

Snyder said the agency doesn’t have a clear picture yet of how many of its employees it will lay off, or whether it will need to shutter one of its 11 state facilities.

The youth authority has been down this road before. In 2003, facing serious budget deficits, the state cut the youth authority’s funding and its discretionary beds fell from more than 600 to about 350.

The economy recovered and beds were added back while demand grew.

Last year’s cuts loom Last year, cuts loomed again.

In September and again in December, the Legislature’s Emergency Board set aside millions to keep the Oregon Youth Authority from having layoffs or reducing beds through April.

The youth authority supervises about 900 offenders of three types. The first two types are sent to them by the Department of Corrections or are considered the most serious youth offenders, and the state orders that each must be housed by the youth authority.

But a third type of offender is considered part of the “discretionary bed allocation,” for which each county in Oregon can send a set number of its juvenile offenders. The discretionary beds are the ones likely to be cut, and some juvenile offenders who would otherwise spend time in a correctional facility will now get a more lenient form of supervision.

Yamhill County Juvenile Department Director Tim Loewen said each county will have to

find a way to deal with its individual juvenile justice problem.

“That’s the $24 question,” Loewen said. “Folks have to come up with alternatives.

When resources at the state level are diminishing, they’re likely diminishing at the county level. That presents a really big issue.”

Alleviating crowding Loewen said poorer counties could alleviate overcrowding in their juvenile justice facilities by simply not prosecuting lowerlevel offenses like property and drug crimes.

“For counties in far eastern Oregon who have more limited resources, when they’re dealing with chronic offenders and have no detention space to keep them, they’re relying on the pooling of discretionary beds,” Loewen said. “This (cut) could pose a very dire issue on how they deal with either violent or repeat offenders.”

Snyder said that the youth authority will conduct a review of each of its youth offenders to determine which ones are most ready for an early release into supervised care. If the Legislature doesn’t help out with emergency dollars, the agency is supposed to have its cuts in place by Oct. 1.

The Oregon Youth Authority was created by a Senate bill in 1995 that sought to separate the juvenile corrections system from the one for child welfare. The voters’ approval of Measure 11 in 1994 also created a fixed, tiered system of sentences for juvenile offenders.

Because Measure 11 brought about mandatory sentences for juveniles, the number Department of Corrections offenders skyrocketed through the 1990s to about 300, and reached almost 400 in April 2009.

O B Driver arrested in double fatal on Coast NEWPORT — Oregon State Police say the driver in a crash that killed two men near Seal Rock on the Oregon coast has been arrested for investigation of two counts of manslaughter.

Troopers say 24-year-old Jose Manuel De Leon Colomo, of Newport, was also arrested for investigation of DUI, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person.

Police say a van was northbound on U.S. Highway 101 on Tuesday when it failed to negotiate a left curve, traveled over an embankment and crashed into a tree. The van broke into several pieces. The two passengers who were killed have not been identified yet.

Colomo was treated for his injuries at a Corvallis hospital.

He’s been lodged in the Lincoln

County jail.

Hole-in-the-floor ashtray leads to fire PORTLAND — A Portland Fire & Rescue spokesman says a house fire that apparently started because tenants were using a hole in the floor as an ashtray caused $30,000 in damage.

Spokesman Paul Corah says, in his words, “That’s not careless smoking, that’s stupid smoking.”

He says the caller who reported the fire Wednesday also hung up on the 911 dispatcher, then refused to talk when the dispatcher tried to call back for more details.

No one was injured.

Man charged in fatal hit-and-run in Salem SALEM — A man charged with manslaughter in a hit-and-

run death in Salem has told police he was texting while driving.

Marion County sheriff’s deputies say 19-year-old Jake Montano was arrested Tuesday night after he surrendered to authorities in Salem.

Montano is accused of killing 37-year-old Morales Singer as he was walking home from a Salem tavern the night of Jan. 26.

Sheriff’s spokesman Don Thomson said Montano told deputies he was reading text on his cell phone when he saw Singer beginning to cross the street and swerved to miss him but struck him.

Governor’s budget recognizes reality

R

ather than calling for broad-based tax increases, Gov. John Kitzhaber on Tuesday told state agencies to take the general fund revenue taxpayers are expected to provide

over the next couple of years and live with it. In other words, the governor’s proposed budget simply accepts reality.

This wasn’t unexpected, but some of the usual people said the usual things.

For instance, Susan Castillo, superintendent of public instruction, lamented in a news release that the $5.56 billion the governor would like to spend on K-12 education between 2011-13 “is drastically lower than the estimated $6.5 billion our schools need to keep up with inflation and maintain the level of current services to students.”

Inflation? Castillo must be referring to the soaring compensation costs that former Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s Reset Cabinet characterized as highly problematic to any state policy maker who values solvency.

Castillo’s response thus highlights the difficulty of the task both the governor and lawmakers now face, which is to convince state agencies and interest groups that taxpayers aren’t about to part with more money. And having done that, an even more difficult task awaits: preserving service levels.

To listen to Castillo, you’d think this would be impossible. But the $6.5 billion she’d like assumes a business-asusual increase in salary and benefits costs. But business as usual ended for Oregon a couple of years ago when the bottom fell out of the economy, and most people have learned to focus more on what they still have and less on what they’d like to have. And what Oregon is expected to have during the coming biennium is a nearly 9 percent increase in general fund revenue. The state is expected to collect about $13.5 billion this biennium, and Kitzhaber’s budget assumes it will collect $14.7 billion during the 2011-13 biennium.

The state’s problem is simple, even if its solution isn’t: The cost of government continues to outpace the growth in tax revenue. To bring the two into alignment without a huge tax increase, the governor and Legislature will have to bring down costs. This will involve some reductions in service, to be sure, as the government work force is trimmed and unnecessary agencies eliminated. But reductions also must involve public employee compensation, particularly benefits, which is the sort of cost cutting that preserves service levels. The governor carefully avoided the subject on Tuesday, noting only that negotiations with employee unions would begin later this month.

What all of this adds up to is ... not much. The governor deserves credit for recognizing reality, which is that tax increases are off the table. But Oregonians don’t know yet how, exactly, the governor proposes to protect government services in the face of that reality.

And that’s how he and his colleagues in the Legislature will be judged.

••• As we’ve pointed out, the governor’s proposed budget doesn’t anticipate any significant tax increases. But it does contemplate at least one significant tax revision, which would involve the indirect diversion of highway funds — including gas taxes and vehicle registration fees — to education.

Here’s how it would work. The governor’s proposed budget for schools — $5.56 billion — would be divvied up unequally over the two years of the biennium. During the first year, 2011-12, schools would get $2.9 billion, and during the ensuing year they’d get $2.66 billion. Assuming the Legislature approved the plan, smart superintendents would save some of that first-year money and use it in year two, when they’re expected to get less.

But many won’t, thereby pressuring voters to approve a small, do-ityourself bailout that could appear on ballots later this year. The proposed budget explains it this way: “the Governor is recommending shifting funding for State Police patrol officers from the General Fund to the State Highway Fund, freeing up an additional $93 million in General Fund support for 20122013 school funding. The shift would require voter approval.”

Up until about 30 years ago, according to the governor’s office, state police were supported by Highway Fund, which receives fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees and so forth. But voters in 1980 approved a constitutional amendment dedicating vehicle taxes to roadrelated uses, effectively ousting the police. By amending the constitution as Kitzhaber would like, voters would put State Police back in the Highway Fund, indirectly steering more than $90 million in Highway Fund revenue to schools in 2012-13 — and, presumably, for every year thereafter.

We take no position on the proposal at this point, but it’s bound to be a tough sell. Just two years ago, the Legislature approved massive increases in vehicle fees and taxes, including a 25 percent hike in fuel taxes. Why? Because, the argument went, existing revenue wasn’t keeping up with the cost of maintaining and improving Oregon’s transportation infrastructure, which, everyone knows, plays a crucial role in the state’s economy. For that reason, most people swallowed hard and accepted the tax and fee hikes, even though they kicked in during a terrible recession.

The fuel increase, which tacked 6 cents onto the state’s existing 24-cent tax, went into effect just last month.

Gov. Kitzhaber’s State Police shift would go into effect just one year later. During the 2009-10 fiscal year, the state’s fuel tax generated $390.5 million. Assuming a 25 percent tax hike boosts revenue by 25 percent, the 6 cent tax increase will produce about $98 million per year — just a little more than the $93 million annual hit the Highway Fund would take under Kitzhaber’s proposal.

Which means, in essence, that this year’s 6-cent increase in the gas tax wouldn’t go to roads at all, but, rather, to schools. That may or may not be a good thing, but wouldn’t repurposing this year’s tax hike simply create the need for another hike in the fuel tax?

Or should we just accept the deterioration of our economically vital transportation infrastructure?

Ironies of U.S. policy in Egypt I

f only W. had waited for Twitter.

And Facebook. And WikiLeaks.

Revolutionary tools all, like the fax machine in the Soviet Union.

The ire in Tahrir Square is full of ironies, not the least of which is the U.S. president who inspired such hope in the Middle East with his Cairo speech calling around this week to leaders in the region to stanch the uncontrolled surge of democracy in the Arab world.

Egyptians rose up at the greatest irony of all: Cleopatra’s Egypt was modern in ancient times and Mubarak’s was ancient in modern times. The cradle of civilization yearned for some civilization.

President George W. Bush meant well when he tried to start a domino effect of democracy in the Middle East and end the awful hypocrisy of America coddling autocratic rulers.

But the way he went about it was naive and wrong. “In many ways, you can argue that the Iraq war set back the cause of democracy in the Middle East,” Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations who worked at the State Department during Bush’s first term, told me. “It’s more legitimate in Arab eyes when it happens from within than when it’s externally driven.”

You can’t push a morally muscular foreign policy by subverting morality.

And you can’t occupy a country only to trade one corrupt regime for another.

In his second inaugural, Bush pledged a goal of “ending tyranny in our world.” But he only managed to get rid of one tyrant (a weakened one he had a grudge against). He learned that trying to micromanage the future course of the internal politics of another country is very difficult.

As Haass wrote at the time in an oped piece: “Immature democracies — those that hold elections but lack many of the checks and balances characteris-

MAUREEN DOWD tic of a true democracy — are particularly vulnerable to being hijacked by popular passions.”

Just so, Haass now says of Egypt’s political eruption: “This could go off the rails. The end of Mubarak is like the second inning.”

He said that Mubarak’s “royalist, monarchist pretensions, his plan to install his son Gamal as his successor truly offended a lot of Egyptians, who found it humiliating. Humiliation is a powerful motivator in the Middle East.”

In 2005, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chided the Egyptians to be more democratic, but Mubarak continued to stifle his country’s vitality.

W. associated his “freedom agenda” with war.

In another irony, one of the reasons Bush decided he needed to do something about the Arab dictatorships was his belief that they were spawning terrorists. But to try to fulfill his grandiose promise to defeat “every terrorist group of global reach,” he needed the cooperation of the same dictators the U.S. had always supported. And he fell back to relying on the help of dictatorships to try to shut down dictatorships.

Instead, he shut down the democratization process in 2006 after he and Rice were blindsided by Hamas winning the Palestinian elections.

“We were overly spooked by the victory of Hamas,” said Robert Kagan, a senior Brookings fellow, neocon and Iraq war advocate who co-founded the prescient Working Group on Egypt, a bipartisan group of Middle East experts who wanted to get the adminis-

tration to press Mubarak to be more democratic.

“The great fear that people have with Islamist parties is that, if they take part in an election, that will be the last election,” he continued. “But we overlearned that lesson and we need to get beyond that panicky response. There’s no way for us to go through the long evolution of history without allowing Islamists to participate in democratic society.

“What are we going to do? Support dictators for the rest of eternity because we don’t want Islamists taking their share of some political system in the Middle East? We’ve got to put our money where our mouth is.

“Obviously, Islam needs to make its peace with modernity and democracy.

But the only way this is going to happen is when people speaking for Islam take part in the system. It’s incumbent on Islamists who are elected democratically to behave democratically.”

Members of Kagan’s group met with members of the White House national security team on Monday. He does not think, as some critics do, that President Barack Obama has been too slow to embrace the Egyptian protesters. “It’s tricky,” he said. “Any administration is extremely reluctant to push out a longtime ally.”

But he believes that the administration “really made a mistake not preparing for this a year ago.” He thinks that Mubarak’s health problems emboldened restive Egyptians.

And he advises Obama — who went on TV Tuesday night to assure Egyptians that they will determine their own destiny, but maybe not just yet — not to count on a long goodbye for Mubarak.

“The notion of trying to figure out a Mubarak option,” he said, of a leisurely transition, “should be dropped.”

Perhaps legislators should outlaw all potential driving distractions

By Clint Decker Bulletin guest columnist

I

am writing in regard to your recent editorial about closing the loopholes in the cell phone usage law. I completely agree with your assessment that we should close the loophole of using the cell phone for work-related uses.

We can’t let a driver who is talking on the phone endanger other distracted drivers. So I propose that we pass laws to eliminate any and all distractions to drivers.

1) Eating in the car. I must admit that I have stopped by a drive-through and picked up a quick bite to eat. Some of the time, I have been distracted with the paper around my food, the ketchup spilling on my clothing, the dipping of the food in the sauce, drinking my beverage of choice with my meal, and other foodrelated distractions that didn’t allow me to drive undistracted. This should stop immediately before any more people are

allowed to eat while driving. We must close any and all eating establishments that allow drive-through distractions.

This is also a health issue for many Americans. It is proven that bad eating habits lead to obesity. Eating in the car from a fast food restaurant is a bad habit and contributes to obesity in citizens. We must prohibit the driving distractions caused by food, and the obesity that it leads to for the survivors of their distracted driving. I am sure that the health care money savings will help with education.

2) Radios, CDs, iPods and any other noise-making instrument that allows the driver to be distracted. I must admit that I have found myself enjoying the music on the radio. I found myself singing along, swaying to the music, or just for a moment not completely focused on the issue at hand, which is driving this vehicle. I realize now that if a radio or other distraction is allowed to be in the

IN MY VIEW vehicle, I may use it, so they must be outlawed and made to stop immediately.

The number of people who have listened to the radio or other distractions I would guess is astronomical, and some may not have realized that they were a simple song away from distraction and certain death or dismemberment. The cost savings on no radio in the car would reduce the cost of the car and allow more citizens to purchase the car.

3) DVD players, GPS units and other obvious distractions. If the previously mentioned radios and noise-making units weren’t death traps, DVD players and GPS units absolutely are.

The reason I have mentioned cheapening the price of the cars is because of the worst distraction of all ...

4) Passengers. I admit that I have allowed passengers in my vehicles. Yes,

they have been family members and friends. If I had known that I was risking their lives, I would have made them walk.

While driving, I have actually spoken to my kids, friends, or tried to interact with whoever was in the car. I apologize that we actually looked out the car at our destination, spoke about their interests or activities, or in some way interacted with my passengers. To speak with them, or to do anything but focus on the driving at hand, was a terrible thing to do, and I am sorry that I was risking their lives, and the lives of other drivers.

The only way to solve this is to make everyone have their own car. We could enact laws that all cars must be American made. That would help with the car companies that are owned by the citizens. We already have laws requiring that we use seat belts. With no other distractions, everyone would always be safe and reach their destination safely without any distractions to themselves

or other drivers. The increased numbers of cars using gas would fill the state coffers with gas tax money.

After reading this letter I realize that any flaw in my driving wasn’t my fault.

It is amazing that I haven’t had a wreck, gotten many tickets, or actually have lived as long as I have, while driving as many miles as I have. Maybe I was actually capable of driving and making decent decisions about my driving. Maybe we don’t need more laws outlining how I should drive or live. Maybe people should be a little bit responsible and know when they should stop and talk on the phone if it is distracting. Maybe we could live our lives without legislation telling us that we don’t know what is good for us.

Maybe we should do what is right and use a little common sense. If not, I have a good start on some rules that might help.

Clint Decker lives in Terrebonne.

Middlekauff Continued from C1 Middlekauff was motivated by money, drugs and sex, Bagely said, describing how he’d spent much of the money Brenda Middlekauff had inherited from her late husband barely a year after meeting her, his methamphetamine use, and his desire to establish himself as a methamphetamine dealer.

In the weeks leading up to Brenda ’s death, Bagely said, Darrell Middlekauff spent nearly every day with Tina Briles, a methamphetamine user with whom he had carried on an affair and had attempted to entice into a three-way sexual relationship with himself and his wife.

Bagely read from two letters sent by Darrell Middlekauff to Jennifer Michalak, a 17-year-old girl with whom he was living in late 2004, prior to his arrest on unrelated charges.

The letters, sent from prison less than a month after the discovery of Brenda Middlekauff’s body, include details on shooting Brenda in the head and wrapping a plastic bag around her head — information investigators had not released at that time.

Briles and Michalak are both scheduled to testify later in the trial.

Bagely touched briefly on a few pieces of evidence not previously made public.

Hairs found on a mattress pad used to wrap the barrel in which Brenda Middlekauff was found match Darrell Middlekauff’s DNA with greater than 99 percent certainty, she said, and a handmade quilt found in the barrel matches paper patterns found in a search of the Middlekauffs’ home.

Middlekauff’s defense team, lead by attorney Duane McCabe, declined to make an opening statement, and asked few questions of the four witnesses called

Treasurer Continued from C1 Goss sold all the investments on Jan. 12 and Jan. 13 to come into compliance.

“It’s my responsibility to manage public funds,” Goss said. “That’s why I made the choice to sell — so there would be no arguments (over the portfolio).”

She added that when she sold the investments, the county did turn a profit.

“We’re obviously going to focus on the negative,” Goss said, “But it did make money.”

The report from county staff found 24 of the investments sold for gains of $226,897.27, while eight of the investments sold for losses of $41,618.41.

No penalties were incurred for pulling out of the investments early.

St. Charles Continued from C1 “It’s six people,” said Lisa Courtney, a shipping clerk at the hospital who is against union representation. “That’s one of the biggest points of frustration.

Generally half of us don’t want it to be there.”

The union effort formally started when a group of employees filed a petition for representation with the National Labor Relations Board at the end of November.

In early January, the NLRB held a vote at the hospital. That vote left undecided the fate of the union because just four votes separated each side, and 34 votes were challenged for eligibility.

After negotiations between the union and hospital, 22 of those votes were deemed eligible. Because those votes could influence the outcome of the election, they were counted Wednesday afternoon. With 12 of the new ballots for representation and 10 against, the union effort moved forward.

A celebration Several dozen employees in favor of representation were gathered in a classroom at the hospital when they got the news said Dorothy Vibbert, who works in room service at the hospital.

“There was a shouting of ‘Hurrahs!’,” she said. “I think it’s finally a time that we can sit down with administration and let them know what’s going on.”

Vibbert, who has been a principle advocate for union representation, said that she hoped that the union would be able to negotiate for better wages, more staff in some areas, better staff training opportunities and a

Wednesday. The four witnesses were Brenda Middlekauff’s sister, Rita Ege, Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies Ronnie Dozier and Pete Penzenik, and Lisa Lazarus, the owner of the property where Brenda’s body was found.

Lazarus, appearing by phone, told the court she bought the wooded, undeveloped property in 2003, and was visiting in July 2005 to clean up the property and post “No Trespassing” signs. While walking her property, she found a plastic tarp covering a partially-buried metal barrel.

Dozier told the court Lazarus told him she’d thought about digging up the barrel, then decided against it, suspecting it could contain chemicals from a meth lab. Instead, she called the Sheriff’s Office, leading to the discovery of Brenda Middlekauff’s body.

Ege, a Missouri resident who still lives near where she and Brenda grew up, choked up while describing the quilt found with her sister’s body. Ege said she’d given the patterns for the quilt to Brenda on a prior visit, and had actively looked for the quilt when she came out to Oregon after her disappearance to try to figure out what had happened to her sister.

Ege said Darrell Middlekauff called her some time after Brenda Middlekauff’s disappearance and said she had run off with a female truck driver named Barb — a story Ege said she did not believe.

Additional witnesses will be appearing in court today. On Friday, Judge Tiktin and attorneys from the defense and prosecution will be visiting the former home of the Middlekauffs and the property where Brenda Middlekauff’s body was discovered.

Stem cell pioneer Ernest McCulloch dies in Toronto

By Lawrence K. Altman New York Times News Service

Dr. Ernest McCulloch, a father of the stem cell research that scientists say holds promise for the treatment of many ailments, died Jan. 20 in Toronto. He was 84.

His death was announced by the University of Toronto, where he was an emeritus university professor.

McCulloch died two weeks short of the 50th anniversary of the publication of a groundbreaking paper he wrote with Dr. James Till in the journal Radiation Research. The paper had an important role in research that the two began in the 1950s and that earned them an Albert Lasker basic medical research award in 2005 for “setting the stage for all current research on adult and embryonic stem cells.”

Such stem cells are nonspecialized but can give rise to specialized cells like those in the brain, heart and other organs and tissues. Stem cells derived from embryos can develop into any cell type, whether in the heart, lung or another body part; stem cells derived from adult cells have already differentiated by body part and can develop only into the type of cells related to them.

McCulloch and Till were a study in

contrasts; where McCulloch was short, stocky and rumpled, Till was tall, trim and elegantly dressed. Yet they were the perfect research pair, balancing each other’s personalities, said Dr. Alan Bernstein, a former president of the Canadian Institute of Health Research, an organization analogous to the National Institutes of Health in the United States.

McCulloch and Till designed a system to measure bone marrow cells’ sensitivity to radiation. They observed clumps on the spleens of mice, and through rigorous experiments showed the spleen contained cells that divided into the three main types of blood cells: red, white and platelets.

The findings led to a system for studying the factors that send the stem cells down different developmental paths, and helped transform the study of blood cells from an observational science to a more experimental one.

Ernest Armstrong McCulloch was born in Toronto on April 27, 1926. He went directly from Upper Canada College, a private high school in Toronto, to medical school at the University of Toronto. He received his medical degree with honors in 1948 and then trained in hospitals in Toronto as a specialist in internal medicine.

He had a private practice in Toronto from 1954 to 1967.

Financial consultant Tom Gilbertson said he sold the investments to Goss because he believed the county investment policy was a “gray area” when it came to corporate notes.

Jefferson County Administrative Officer Jeff Rasmussen said that was incorrect.

“I’d politely disagree that we are in a gray area,” Rasmussen said. “It’s written pretty black and white (that corporate notes are prohibited).”

Rasmussen said he checked with the state and found that no legal ramifications would result from the problems with the account, but he did recommend Goss write a note explaining the problems for the county’s next audit cycle, which will take place in the fall.

County Commission Chair Mike Ahern said he was disappointed with the poor communication between the commis-

sioners and the treasurer.

“Twenty million (dollars in investments) were sold in two days,” Ahern said. “Why is it good to sell 20 million in two days and could we — or should we — have done some thinking about that?

“We’re disappointed we had $20 million in corporate notes and I’m disappointed we didn’t have a discussion about that (before they were sold.)”

Ahern said. “But that is in the past now and we need to look forward.”

Ahern said changes would be made to the way public money is managed by the county. Commissioners agreed to pay a thirdparty consulting firm $12,500 to conduct a staffing search for a financial advisor who will assist the county in managing its investment portfolio.

Ahern also said he wanted to have better communication

with Goss and discuss providing her with the tools and staff needed to perform her job, including the potential for a longterm deputy treasurer and software upgrades.

Goss said she was open to changes.

She also responded to reports that her personal bankruptcy, filed in December, might affect the price of a surety bond the county is required to pay to insure against potential legal malfeasance by an elected official.

“If it does affect the cost, I will pay for that out of my own pocket so there is no loss to the county,” Goss said.

She issued a news release last week responding to a Department of Justice investigation looking into $7,993 missing from an inmate trust account she administered.

The investigation found

halt to the outsourcing of some functions.

In previous interviews with The Bulletin, employees had expressed frustration that some housekeepers were laid off and an outside contractor brought in.

draw the objections, the NLRB will decide if they are valid and, if so, whether the incidents were severe enough to warrant nullifying the election.

NLRB Regional Director Richard Ahearn declined to speculate on whether the hospital’s objections could negate the election.

If, as is likely, the vote is upheld, the hospital will begin working with the union, said Katy Vitcovich, senior vice president of human resources for St. Charles Health System.

“We’ve respected the right for caregivers to decide whether they want this representation and now we’ll do our best to get to the table and get the details of hammering out a contract,” she said.

either side seem to be growing farther apart.

“It’s divided the hospital and it’s not going to get better any time soon,” said Courtney. “It’s not pretty. It’s not where I came to work.”

Anti-union petition For Courtney, who got the news from a colleague, it was a different reaction.

“It made my stomach turn,” she said.

Kelly Garl, who works in supply and distribution and has been outspoken against the union, said she had already started a petition to kick the union out and gathered about 100 signatures.

“The people who voted ‘no’ are very disappointed,” she said.

“There’s a lot of resentment right now.”

Garl said she was particularly upset because she had been scheduled for a merit raise, which has now been put on hold pending negotiations.

The vote still needs to be certified by the NLRB and there remains a very small chance that it could be negated through hospital objections.

After the January vote, both the hospital and union filed objections with the labor board, each citing misconduct on the part of the other.

The union intends to withdraw its challenges, said SEIU political director Felisa Hagins.

The hospital is yet undecided, said St. Charles spokeswoman Kayley Mendenhall. “We need a chance to talk to our attorney,” she said.

The hospital charged the union with harassing employees by following one from work to a child care center and by showing up at one employee’s home.

If the hospital does not with-

Other hospital unions The nurses at St. Charles Bend, St. Charles Redmond and Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Prineville are also represented by a union, the Oregon Nurses Association.

Vitcovich declined to speculate on how long the contract negotiations could take, though she did point out that nurses in Prineville voted for representation two years ago and still do not have a contract.

All employees deemed eligible, not just those who voted in favor of the union, will have the chance at representation.

Those who decline representation by the union will have an amount equivalent to their union dues taken out of their paycheck and donated to a designated nonprofit foundation. They would receive the same benefits and wages as those in the union.

While the process moves forward, it’s unclear whether the mood at the hospital will change. For now, employees on

there was not enough evidence to charge Goss with a crime, and she said she felt the investigation exonerated her of any wrongdoing.

Ahern said he doesn’t believe the funds will ever be recovered, due to incomplete bookkeeping by the treasurer.

Missing sisters found safe in Columbia Gorge

By Tim Fought The Associated Press

CORBETT — A pair of Oregon sisters were found Wednesday in the Columbia River Gorge after they were reported missing from a day hike near Horsetail Falls.

Leesa Azar, 53, and her sister, Leslie Azar, 50, had called home about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday on a cell phone to say they were heading back to their car at the trail head using headlamps in the dark.

Leesa Azar’s husband went looking for them, then called police when he couldn’t find them.

About 50 searchers had fanned out by Wednesday morning across the system of trails on the bluffs above the river after cold temperatures dipped into the teens overnight in the typically windy gorge.

The sisters were found shortly after noon Wednesday by a pair of searchers who spotted the women across a creek.

The sisters appeared in good condition and no injuries were reported, according to Multnomah County sheriff’s Deputy Keith Bybee.

Their dog, a border collie and German shepherd mix, was with them, Bybee said.

Leesa Azar’s husband, Charles Gallia, said his wife, a physician in Lake Oswego, and her sister were experienced hikers and climbers who hiked in the gorge on a regular basis.

Gallia said he was relieved they were found safe after he went through “hours of constant fear, trying to stay rational.”

Leesa Azar, 53, right, and her sister, Leslie Azar, 50, left, emerge from the woods with rescuers Wednesday near Corbett after being lost overnight in sub-freezing conditions. The pair were found Wednesday in the Columbia River Gorge after they were reported missing from a day hike near Horsetail Falls.

Gallia drove to the trail head to meet them after the sisters called Tuesday because he was concerned about them on the trails in the dark.

When they failed to show up, he hiked up the trail a short distance, found icy conditions and

decided to call sheriff’s deputies, who immediately began a search.

Bybee said rescuers did not know yet how the sisters got off trail or whether they got lost, but they were found near a trail junction.

Multnomah County pharmacies tighten operations The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Multnomah County Health Department is making changes at six county-run pharmacies to prevent drug thefts.

Deputy District Attorney Eric Zimmerman says the county’s arcane system of tracking prescriptions enabled an employee to steal up to 23,000 Oxycodone pills over a year-and-a-half.

The employee, 30-year-old Jennifer Thanh Saeteurn, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a felony indictment. The prosecutor said she would reuse customers’ prescription numbers or scribble in fake names.

As a result of the case, The Oregonian reports, only licensed pharmacists will be able to enter information in a prescription log.

The health department also plans random audits and a new electronic management system.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick

Patriots’ Belichick is coach of year DALLAS — Bill Belichick is closing in on Don Shula.

New England coach Bill Belichick won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Coach of the Year award on Wednesday, the third time Belichick has earned the honor. Belichick, who also won in 2003 and 2007, now trails only Don Shula, a four-time winner of the award.

For leading the Patriots to a 14-2 record, the best in the league, Belichick received 30 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. That easily beat Raheem Morris, who led a turnaround in Tampa Bay and got 11½ votes.

Belichick has overseen a transition in New England to a younger team, particularly on defense. Of course, he still has Offensive Player of the Year Tom Brady at quarterback.

Belichick’s record with the Patriots is 126-50, plus a 14-5 mark in the postseason, with losses in the last three tries with teams that went a collective 40-8. His career winning percentage of .716 ranks eighth.

Oregon State gets Texas quarterback in recruiting class

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

After a down year and the early departure of prolific running back Jacquizz Rodgers, the Oregon State Beavers look optimistically to the future with a new class of recruits.

Among the 2011 class of prospects were dualthreat quarterback Peter Ashton from Faith Christian High School in Grapevine, Texas, and linebacker Jabral Johnson and receiver Tyrequek Zimmerman, teammates at Lawton High School in Oklahoma.

Johnson accompanied Zimmerman on an official visit in Inside September and ended up choos- • OSU’s ing Oregon State over Arizona, recruiting where he had verbally commitclass, ted earlier.

Scoreboard Ashton is a departure from Page D2 the Beavers’ typical pro-style quarterback, but coach Mike Riley said he was impressed when the 6-foot-3, 185-pound four-sport prep star threw at an Oregon State camp.

Oregon State also got a homegrown player in 6foot-6, 245-pound defensive end Elisinoa Aluesi, who played for Portland’s Jefferson High School.

“I feel like we have hit the mark in some areas that we really needed to address,” Riley said.

Steelers’ Harrison remains NFL’s angriest man JIM LITKE FORT WORTH, Texas — ames Harrison needs protection.

From himself.

It sounds strange to say that about one of the most feared, and by far the most-fined player in the NFL this season, someone who calls himself the “poster guy” for the league’s campaign to stop the kind of vicious hits that harm others. Yet Harrison seems unconcerned with the possible damage he’s doing to himself in the short and long term. Either way, he’s convinced himself it’s well worth it.

Fish lessons

The Oregon Ducks reaped the recruiting benefits of going to the BCS Championship Game with several top prospects signing letters of intent. But fans had to wait a few hours to learn the decision of the team’s biggest catch.

Los Angeles Crenshaw High School running back/cornerback De’Anthony Thomas announced on Wednesday night he would play for the Ducks, long after the bulk of Oregon’s 2011 recruiting class had been unveiled.

The five-star recruit had given a soft verbal commitment to USC last year before the Trojans were hit with NCAA sanctions that re- Inside sulted in a two-year postseason • Oregon’s ban. Then reports surfaced that recruiting Thomas had visited Eugene last class, weekend.

Scoreboard At 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, Page D2 Thomas is smart, fast and elusive. He rushed for 1,299 yards and 18 touchdowns, and added five interceptions, leading the Cougars to their second straight City Section title last season.

While the consensus is that Thomas will be a cornerback in college, he is very similar to current Oregon running back LaMichael James.

Among those who formally signed letters of intent to play for Oregon was 6-foot-4, 285-pound offensive tackle Andre Yruretagoyena from Chaparral High School in Arizona, who committed to the Ducks last June after entertaining interest from at least 17 schools.

The Super Bowl • Green Bay Packers vs.

Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday, 3:30 p.m.

• TV: Fox

“I’m willing to go through hell in gasoline drawers,” Pittsburgh’s All-Pro linebacker said Wednesday, “so that my kids don’t have to.”

Harrison may someday get the chance.

Several hours before the Steelers returned to the practice field at TCU to prepare for Sunday’s Super Bowl, Harrison was wellrested and injury-free. Yet mounting scientific evidence suggests that even high school and college football players are involved in more than enough collisions to risk lingering damage to both body and brain.

But when someone asked Harrison whether he worried about the toll all that hitting would take by the time he turned 50, this was his answer: Pittsburgh LB James Harrison See Harrison / D3

S B Cycling • Tour of California revamps drug testing program: The Tour of California has strengthened its anti-doping program to start pre-race testing earlier and have the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, not cycling’s governing body, oversee in-competition testing. The race, which runs May 15-22, dropped a provision that excluded riders who were the subject of a pending doping investigation. Tour officials were peppered with questions Wednesday about how the rule change might affect the participation of seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has been hearing evidence for months on cheating in professional cycling.

USADA CEO Travis Tygart said his organization wanted the rule rescinded because it violated athletes’ due process. AEG Sports president Andrew Messick said teams would have to submit a provisional list of 12 cyclists in the next few days, and all those riders would be subject to testing for the three months leading up to the race.

Television • Feds pull plug on pirated sports broadcasts: Federal authorities in New York City are pulling the plug on 10 websites they say have stolen and streamed pay-perview and other live sporting events, including NFL games.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed seizure warrants based on a court order unsealed Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan. The warrants direct domain managers to lock down the websites. Court papers cite several live broadcasts of pro wrestling, ultimate fighting and professional football games authorities say were pirated in recent weeks.

Baseball • Piniella joins Giants as special assistant: Longtime skipper Lou Piniella told The Associated Press on Wednesday he has agreed to a one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants to work as a special assistant for the World Series champions. The 67-year-old Piniella, who retired as a manager during the 2010 season with the Chicago Cubs in order to return home and help his ailing mother, will report to general manager Brian Sabean.

Football • Meyer severs financial ties with Florida: Former Florida coach Urban Meyer has severed financial ties with the Gators to avoid NCAA recruiting violations. Meyer had remained on Florida’s payroll since resigning in December. He signed a deal with ESPN earlier this week to become a college football analyst, and his job discussing potential recruits during a national signing day telecast Wednesday would have been an NCAA violation. So Meyer chose ESPN over his undefined role at Florida.

NHL ROUNDUP

No. 17 Syracuse ends Penguins shut skid at No. 6 UConn out Isles again The Associated Press The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — Rick Jackson had 13 points and 13 rebounds to lead No. 17 Syracuse to a 66-58 victory over No. 6 Connecticut on Wednesday night, and the Orange avoided the first five-game losing streak in coach Jim Boeheim’s 35 seasons.

Brandon Triche had 16 points for the Orange (19-4, 6-4 Big East), who had lost four straight game under Boeheim three times before this streak.

Freshman Jeremy Lamb had 22 points to lead the Huskies (17-4, 5-4), who have lost two straight — both at home — since a six-game winning streak.

The game featured the most wins ever in Division I between two coaches. Boeheim came in with 847, seven more than Jim Calhoun, who is also a Hall of Famer.

The 1,687 total bettered the mark of 1,665 set by Texas Tech’s Bob Knight and Oklahoma State’s Eddie Sutton on Feb. 25, 2006.

Syracuse took its first lead on Jackson’s hook shot at the halftime buzzer, 26-25. The Huskies would never get it back, although they did get close three times in the final five minutes and each time Syracuse had an answer.

OSU Continued from D1 The Beavers got letters of intent Wednesday from 21 prep players and three others from junior colleges.

The Rodgers brothers — Jacquizz and James, a receiver who returns next season — went to Lamar Consolidated High School in Texas, and that helps the Beavers when it comes to recruiting there.

“No question everybody in Texas knows the story of the Rodgers brothers,” Riley said.

In addition to Ashton — and Johnson and Zimmerman from nearby Oklahoma — the Beavers brought in Storm Woods, a 5-foot-11, 205-pound running back from Pflugerville, Texas, as well as 6-foot-3, 278-pound defensive tackle Brandon Bennett from Spring (Texas) High School, and Rudolf Fifita, a defensive end who played last season at Trinity/Mt. San Antonio Community College in Euless, Texas.

The question for the Beavers is who will take Jacquizz Rodgers’ place. Oregon State has a long history of wily backs.

Woods fits the bill, as does Malcolm Agnew, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back from St. Louis, Mo., Riley said.

“I like both of them, their versatility and their production ... they are going to be bona fide contenders early,” he said.

The Beavers also landed Dylan Wynn, a 6-foot-3, 234pound defensive end from powerhouse De La Salle in Northern California.

Nene scores 22 as Nuggets top Blazers The Associated Press DENVER — Nene had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups scored 20 points each and the Denver Nuggets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 109-90 on Wednesday night.

Wesley Matthews had 19 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 18 points and nine rebounds for Portland.

The injury-riddled Blazers suffered another blow when Matthews sprained his right ankle late in the second quarter.

Matthews, who scored 17 points in his first 18 minutes, rolled his ankle as he planted his right foot on a drive to the bucket with just over two minutes remaining in the half. He walked to the locker room with assistance.

Matthews started the second half but left after 19 seconds and one defensive possession. He returned to start the fourth quarter but scored just two points.

It’s another in a rash of injuries to hit Portland, which has lost 164 man-games to injury this season. Five players have had knee surgery this year, including Greg Oden, Marcus Camby, Brandon Roy and rookie Eliot Williams. Williams and Oden are out for the season, while Roy and Camby are expected back after the All-Star break.

In addition, center Joel Pryzbilla missed the first 18 games of the season with a right knee injury and the stomach flu.

Portland stayed in the game despite Matthews’ limited play. The Blazers led 68-67 late in the third when Billups hit two threepointers to give Denver a 73-70 lead.

J.R. Smith hit two free throws, Rudy Fernandez missed a three-pointer at the other end and Kenyon Martin’s dunk just beat the buzzer to put the Nuggets ahead 77-70 heading into the fourth.

Two free throws by Aldridge made it 8174, but Smith hit a three-pointer and Arron Afflalo made a short jumper to give Denver a 12-point lead.

Andre Miller cut it to nine with a free throw and Portland had a chance to slice deeper into the lead, but a turnover led to a Smith dunk and the Nuggets were never seriously threatened.

The Trail Blazers, coming off a win Tuesday night against San Antonio, led by one at halftime. Portland shot just 40.5 percent before the break but went seven for nine from three-point range to get the lead. Miller’s floater in the lane just before the halftime buzzer gave them the lead.

The Nuggets stayed close by, outrebounding the Blazers 23-14 and shooting 50 percent from the field to that point.

Tide, Tigers tussle for recruits on signing day Alabama and Auburn were at it again on national signing day.

The Iron Bowl rivals tussled for blue-chip recruits on the first day high school football players could make their college choices official.

The Crimson Tide and Tigers, who have won the past two national championships, each landed recruiting classes the experts adore and went head-to-head for several top prospects — none bigger than offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio from DeMatha High School in Maryland.

Rated one of the top-10 recruits in the country by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPNU, Kouandjio on Wednesday said he was picking Auburn over Alabama, where his brother, Arie, plays.

But just because a recruit makes an announcement on national television doesn’t mean he’s made up his mind. Cyrus Kouandjio did not sign a binding letter of intent with Auburn or Alabama — or for that matter with New Mexico, his odd other finalist — and there is no indication when he will make his decision official.

Maybe the most heralded prospect in the nation, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, from Rock Hill, S.C., said in an interview with ESPNU he probably won’t sign until his birthday, Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day. He said his choices are South Carolina, Clemson and Alabama.

Generally, signing day is about the rich getting richer. The top-rated players tend to flock to the traditional powers. So it was no surprise to see Texas, Florida State, Southern California, LSU, Ohio State and Notre Dame come away with classes highly ranked by the recruiting gurus.

Oregon, fresh off its first appearance in the national title game, also got high marks.

A couple of teams that had mediocre 2010 seasons, Georgia and Clemson, gave their fans reason to believe better days are ahead with classes packed with top prospects — The Associated Press

Continued from D1 “My (linebackers) coach, Keith Butler, who played 10 years in the league, he’s close to around there and he’s doing fine. He’s coaching us very, very well. Nothing’s wrong with his head and he played when you could do a lot worse than what we’re doing right now.

“So I’m hoping,” he added, “I’m as blessed and as fortunate as him, to be in the same position that he is now — minus a couple hips and shoulders that he got replaced.”

Funny line.

But watching a former player wobble around with all his wits is not research, just like hoping is not a retirement plan.

Worse still, Harrison not only derided the league’s efforts to stop headhunting as just another moneymaking scheme; he’s used his podium for two straight days to taunt Commissioner Roger Goodell for trying.

“I don’t want to hurt nobody.

I don’t want to step on nobody’s foot or hurt their toe. I don’t want to have no dirt or none of this rubber on this field fly into their eye and make their eye hurt,” he said during Tuesday’s media day. “I just want to tackle them softly on the ground and, if y’all can, we’ll lay a pillow down where I’m going to tackle them, so they don’t hit the ground too hard, Mr. Goodell.”

Given a chance to retract those comments Wednesday, Harrison proceeded full-speed ahead.

“If you want to get (hard hitting) totally out of the game, put flags on us. We’ll tag off and pull flags off each other,” he said, “and we’ll see how popular the game is then, and how many people come to watch it.”

None of this should come as a surprise. Harrison is one of those guys who made it to the NFL by refusing to back down, who used evaluations by pro scouts that he was too small and too slow as kindling. Undrafted out of college, he was cut four times and exiled for a season to Germany and NFL Europe.

To remember that difficult climb to stardom, he carried around his equipment bag from the Rhine Fire until it fell apart. Now 32, he remains as defiant as ever.

Soon after Goodell levied the first of what became $100,000 in fines for what he deemed illegal hits by Harrison, the Steeler star threatened to retire rather than try to change his style. Harrison acknowledged that playing that way had resulted in several concussions of his own, but not even one that he bothered to report.

By his twisted logic, Harrison says he’s “all for player safety.”

But in the very next breath, he vowed to continue to do his best to hide future concussions from team officials.

“You shouldn’t be able to come back in the game,” he said. “But if they don’t know, they don’t have that decision to make. ...

“It’s a choice. No one is forcing me to play this game. They didn’t put a gun to my head and say, ‘James, go out there and play.’ It’s what I want to do. It’s what I like to do. It’s what I love to do.”

Harrison, paused and scanned the crowd of reporters standing in front of him.

“Did they force you to come out and do this? Did they put a gun to your head?” he asked.

No, we assured him, then pointed out that sports writers don’t risk concussions doing their jobs.

“You could,” Harrison said with a menacing smile, “if you say the wrong thing.”

Oregon Continued from D1 With family in Oregon, Yruretagoyena follows in the footsteps of notable linemen Haloti Ngata and Fenuki Tupou.

Last summer Chaparral coach Charlie Ragle told The Associated Press that Yruretagoyena has agility and athleticism to go with his size.

“Those guys don’t grow on trees,” Ragle said.

Oregon also captured a homegrown prospect in Colt Lyerla, who played linebacker and running back at Hillsboro High School. At 6foot-5 and 225-pounds, Lyerla gained attention as a junior when his 61-yard “Hail Mary” scoring reception against Glencoe High School became a hit on YouTube. Some considered him a five-star prospect.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly called Lyerla “arguably the best athlete in the country.” The Ducks listed Lyerla as a wide receiver.

Overall, Oregon got letters of intent from 20 high school athletes and two junior college players. The class includes 13 players on offense and nine on defense. Five wide receivers and five offensive linemen signed.

Another standout of the class was running back Tra Carson, who went to Liberty-Eylau in Texas — the same high school as James. Carson had 54 touchdowns as a prep player, breaking James’ record of 52.

He was 35 yards shy of James’ 4,220 rushing yards.

The Ducks lost four-star defensive tackle Christian Heyward, who picked USC over Oregon and San Diego State, while defensive end Roderick Byers decommitted from the Ducks and signed with Clemson.

Jerrard Randall, one of two quarterback recruits for the Ducks, did not sign a letter of intent because he was still trying to qualify academically.

D4 Thursday, February 3, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

A new book and a nod to a classic fly-fishing manual GARY LEWIS

“T

oday we’re not going out to try to catch fish; we’re going out to fish.” The boys were quick to pick up on the distinction.

Fifteen years old. When I was that age, the only thing I wanted more than to go fishing was to get my driver’s license so I could go fishing. That was a few years ago, so when I needed guys to go fishing with last weekend, I knew I could count on Paxton Eicher and Sam King, both 15 years old.

On our way out to the Metolius River, the boys thumbed through my favorite fly-fishing instructional — the comic-book-style “Curtis Creek Manifesto” by Sheridan Anderson. Published in 1978, it has, for the last 33 years, been the best book that anyone, 15 or 50 years past 15 could read and take to the crick, fly rod in hand with a reasonable chance at catching a fish or two.

It’s one of those books that, if you own it, you probably won’t own it for long. It’s so right-on that you loan it out and forget whom you gave it to and they give it to someone else.

I read it in 1979 and, among other skills, learned the art of dapping, defined as the “uncelebrated but worthy art of easing your rod tip through the bushes and setting the fly on the water.”

I took what I learned to my own “Curtis Creek,” a tiny stream within tennis shoe distance of my home near Vancouver, Wash.

Gary Lewis / For The Bulletin

Fishing the Metolius last Sunday, Bend’s Sam King, 15, plumbs the fast, deep water with a beadhead nymph.

There, I also tried catching trout with my bare hands, as instructed in the book, a practice called “guddling” or “tickling.” And yes, I caught fish that way.

At the Camp Sherman Store, we picked up some leader. Headed downstream, I tried to impart a little wisdom. “Those guys that run the fly shops want you to be successful. Hang around in places like that and buy a few flies and some leader to compensate for their time and if you listen more than you talk and you pay attention when the old guys come in, you’ll learn a lot more than if you try to figure all this stuff out on your own.”

We put on polarized glasses and leaned over the rail at the Allingham Bridge and watched the river. There was too much water to see the fish, but they were there.

Back in the rig, we headed down to the Wizard Falls Hatchery. After the rods were assembled, we walked up the trail.

There were two anglers in the stretch I wanted to fish, so we trotted upstream.

The boys hadn’t forgotten that we were here to fish, so there was little pressure to catch.

“Be sure you talk to people when you’re out here. You run into guys on the river and they can teach you a lot if you take the time to talk to them, to watch them and listen.”

Back at the truck, we ran into my friend Jim Cope and, when he met Paxton and Sam, he dug into his fly box and gave the boys samples from his tying desk.

Trout flies are like gold when you’re 15 years old.

In “Curtis Creek Manifesto,” Anderson wrote that the para-

mount objective of fly-fishing is to catch fish. Stealth is the first principle.

“Thus, the problem is to make an appealing, natural presentation without causing alarm. This means placing a tempting fly within view of feeding fish without putting them wise to your presence, or in any way disturbing them. Frightened fish can’t be caught!”

Fortunately for the boys, I remembered the goal — to catch a trout. We made one more stop where the boys managed to catch and release some agreeable rainbows.

As good as “Curtis Creek Manifesto” is, the 48-page book is dated. Inspired by the classic, author Mike Rahtz published a companion piece in December 2010. He called it “The Secrets of St. Anthony’s Creek,” published

by Frank Amato Publications (www.amatobooks.com).

In 99 pages, Rahtz provides indepth examinations of fly types, hatches, presentations and water to give the reader a basic understanding of fly angling. The author’s humor in drawings and words shows the reader that flyfishing can be as easy as the angler wants to make it.

I’d give some witty examples from the pages of St. Anthony’s Creek, but someone made off with my copy already. Like its predecessor, the new book is difficult to keep.

Flows dropping, angling improving on Crooked River Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Flows are above average, but are dropping gradually. Fishing should improve as the week continues. According to recent angler reports, the trout seem to be larger this year than in recent years. Anglers are reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures from Oct. 31, 2010, to May 28, 2011.

FISHING REPORT DESCHUTES RIVER (mouth to the northern boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): The river reached flood stage during recent rains and is still high and off-color. Fishing will improve as flows recede. Some anglers report success in high-water conditions by fishing close to the bank with egg and San Juan worm patterns.

FALL RIVER: The Fall River is a popular winter fishery. Anglers are encouraged to note the special regulations in the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations; the angling season downstream from the Fall River falls ended on Sept. 30.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: The water is clear and fishing is fair. If you’ve fished Hay-

stack Reservoir recently, please send a report to ODFW Fishing Reports.

HOOD RIVER: Anglers are reporting good success on bright winter steelhead in the lower river. Steelhead anglers should expect fish numbers to increase throughout the month, with a peak in March and April.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer opportunities for good dry-fly fishing.

The river upstream of Allingham Bridge was closed to fishing on Nov. 1.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: Young anglers are catching rainbow trout and an occasional largemouth bass.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake should offer anglers a good opportunity to catch trout this winter. The lake has been stocked with legal and trophy trout.

Access is currently good with no ice or snow.

FLY-TYING CORNER

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Call it a crawdad, call it a stonefly, call it ugly. But under water, with its rubber legs and its sparkle in the tail and thorax, it looks alive, in motion.

Developed by Tod Ostenson for Rogue River steelhead, the Agent Orange is a great choice for a winter searching pattern on eastside rivers like the Deschutes, the John Day, the Grande Ronde and the Wallowa.

Use this pattern as the primary and hang a smaller nymph off the bend of the hook on a 12-inch dropper. Deaddrift the rig below a strike indicator (set 2X the depth of the run in fast water). Probe underwater ledges, transitions and seams. Set the hook at the slightest hesitation in the drift.

yarn and rib with copper wire.

For the thorax, use olive sparkle dubbing with rubber legs, grizzly gills and a wingcase of peacock sparkle chenille.

Fish Continued from D1 “It made me aware of how easy it is to get lost and how difficult it is to make that stuff understandable,” Morris explains. “The basics of fly-fishing really haven’t changed much, but the options have grown staggeringly. You don’t just put on a leader, you’ve got a bunch of different types of leader, and tippet.”

Morris, the author of 12 books on fly-fishing, says that beginner fly anglers need somebody to guide them with the basics. Even basic techniques, he notes, can yield a lot of fish.

One of the first things Morris will tell a beginner is to minimize false casting. When a fly is in the air, he notes, it cannot hook a

fish.

He also frequently reminds fly anglers to simply be observant.

Just watching the way a river is moving and looking for rising fish can lead to success.

“A lot of fly anglers are not (observant),” Morris says. “They’re thinking, but not looking. A newbie can be great by just being observant.”

Morris, whose wife, Carol Ann, works with him as a photographer and illustrator, has traveled overseas and all over North America for fishing, but he does not consider himself what he calls a “jet-setter fisherman.”

Sometimes, he prefers to stay home and fish for sea-run cutthroat trout on Puget Sound, just a short walk from where he lives.

“There’s a lot of world-class fishing close to home,” Mor-

ris says. “You’ve got some great fishing down there (in Central Oregon). I lived in Portland for about 16 years. During that time, a lot of my fishing was in Central Oregon.”

While some fly anglers prefer fishing exclusively for trout and only in rivers, Morris likes to try for all types of fish in all types of water.

“I’m a pretty open-minded fly fisherman,” he says. “Not a lot are. Some just like spring creeks — I’m just not built that way. I love trout rivers, but I love trout lakes, and I love bass and panfish. I’ve caught flounder on a fly, cabezon, black rockfish, grass-eating carp.

“I love the variety.”

Mostly ice at area sno-parks

By Heidi Hagemeier The Bulletin

The sun may be beckoning you for outdoor adventure, but unless you’re on snowshoes, you may want to think twice.

That’s because trail conditions are challenging right now for nordic and skate skiers and snowmobilers. The lack of new snow coupled with a thaw-thenfreeze pattern have created icy, hard trails in the Deschutes National Forest, according to forest trails specialist Chris Sabo.

“You’re going to have to adjust your attitude and activity,” Sabo said. “It’s definitely not the midst of winter we’d hope for this time of year.”

There is no skiing now below Virginia Meissner Sno-park. The road to Tumalo Falls, for instance, is in a state of partial melt.

Some grooming has taken place at Virginia Meissner, although the snow is hard and often variable among sunny and shaded patches. Snowmobile grooming is now very limited.

Sledding at Wanoga Snoplay Area is also no longer recommended, Sabo said, with hard, icy, bumpy conditions. It may thaw a bit during a narrow window in the afternoons, but that is uncertain.

Off trail, Sabo said, there are pockets of decent snow but also plenty of crust, some breakable but some firm.

“You’re dealing with variable conditions so you need to be able to adjust quickly,” he said.

The winter sport that is most manageable in such conditions, Sabo said, is snowshoeing.

The crampons on the bottom of snowshoes can bite into the snow. Sabo said he saw roughly 20 snowshoers on Tumalo Mountain over the weekend.

Get a taste of Tumalo State Park in winter, all to yourself

By Betsy Q. Cliff

ABOVE: The Deschutes River churns through a canyon just upriver from Tumalo State Park. A short trail leads from the park along the river and, in the winter, hikers have the place nearly all to themselves.

The Bulletin

I

love the off-season.

Take a place like Tumalo State Park, a campground and dayuse area along the Deschutes River.

In the summer, it’s teaming with swimmers, campers and picnickers. I’ve been there then, but crowds are not my idea of a great outdoors experience.

Last weekend, ours was the only car in the parking lot.

During the off-season, familiar places take on a different mood. The water, so inviting in hot weather, becomes darker, more foreboding.

Greenery that frames a river in summer vanishes, leaving it more exposed.

The trails are quieter. The scenery starker.

It was in this spirit that we decided to walk along the Deschutes, which we had done countless times before.

We chose, however a stretch we had not explored, upriver from Tumalo State Park, north of Bend.

The unseasonably warm weather had us digging out our hiking boots and searching for places to explore on foot.

Even in the summer, the guidebooks say, the trail that leads upriver from the main area gets only light use. I don’t know why. It was delightful.

We started near the picnic tables in the day-use area at the park. A trail leaves from the lawn at the left side of the park.

If you go What: Deschutes River Trail upstream from Tumalo State Park Getting there: From Bend, head north on O.B. Riley Road at its intersection with Third Street. After about four miles, Tumalo State Park day-use area will be on the left. Look for signs.

Double wedding and showers pose double trouble for guest Dear Abby: What’s your opinion of having a double wedding and a double shower for two girls within the same family? Would it be appropriate to split the monetary gift since it combines the events? Please do not identify me because I have already expressed my dismay to another family member and was told that I’m the only person who thinks it is inappropriate. I need to know if it is socially acceptable.

— Anonymous in the Midwest Dear Anonymous: My mother and her identical twin sister married in a double wedding.

Because they did practically everything together, I wouldn’t be surprised if they also had a double shower — although I never thought to ask her about it.

Please remember that wedding and shower gifts are just that — GIFTS. You are not compelled to spend more than you can afford, but there should be a separate one for each event that you attend.

Dear Abby: I work with another woman who always comes to the office in professional attire. She is lovely. My only problem with her clothing is that it’s so devoid of color that it makes her appear incredibly drab and depressed.

She wears all beige, all black or all white, which does nothing to enhance her beauty.

She is a quiet person, so I understand her not wearing flashy reds or loud colors, but a little bit would bring out her inner vitality.

Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest she might add some color to her wardrobe, or should I just leave it alone? Should I buy her a scarf to brighten up all those muted ensembles?

— Suffering in Beige-land Dear “Suffering”: If I were you I would tread carefully in this area. Your lovely co-worker may wear monochromatic outfits because she does not wish to draw

DEAR ABBY attention to her beauty and inner vitality. If you are close to her, you might buy her a scarf and say you picked it up because you thought it would look wonderful with her beige suit. However, if she doesn’t wear it, don’t take offense and don’t push the issue.

Not everyone has the same taste in fashion.

Dear Abby: I am a 46-year-old woman who has always believed in the adage “A smile is the only language that everyone can understand.” Sometimes I will offer a quick, casual smile to people I encounter in a grocery store or other public place.

Last week, a woman frowned at me when I smiled at her. Another woman passed me with a puzzled look on her face. A young man’s inflated ego allowed him to respond with a “No, thanks!” after I offered him a smile. It’s a shame that in today’s world some people have become so ill-mannered that they cannot return a smile and accept it for what it is — a friendly gesture.

— Have a Nice Day in Bargersville, Ind. Dear H.A.N.D.: My mother used to say that the most effective cosmetic a woman can wear is a smile. In stressful times we don’t see enough of them. The individuals you encountered must have been having a bad day.

Allow me to share a wonderful thought penned by a gentleman named Robert L. Bass: “Warmth is a communicable disease. If you haven’t got it, no one will be able to catch it from you.” Please don’t stop smiling.

Ellroy is back, doing what he does best

By Luaine Lee McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — Author James Ellroy claims he knows nothing about pop culture in Los Angeles. But give him a juicy murder sometime in L.A.’s murky past, and he’s a bona fide expert.

After all, he wrote “L.A. Confidential,” “The Black Dahlia,” and “The Hilliker Curse,” all real-life tales about unsolved murders and the sinister underpinnings of his hometown.

“I don’t go to motion pictures, I don’t watch television, I don’t read newspapers. I ignore the culture,” he said.

“But I am a very fine dramatic writer so periodically I get offers to write motion pictures and television shows. And I do them.”

His latest foray into television has him not only scripting “James Ellroy’s L.A.: City of Demons,” but hosting the show in his dramatic, alliterative prose for Investigation Discovery.

Ellroy was tailor-made for the part, he says, nattily dressed in a muted beige plaid suit and red bow tie.

“L.A. fascinates me because I’m from here,” he said.

“We are most fixated on the history of where we hail from. And I just got very lucky. My parents hatched me in the film noir epicenter at the height of the film noir era. I was born on Wilshire Boulevard in 1948. My mother was murdered. So if you had a series of geographical migrations — my father was from Boston, my mother was from rural Wisconsin to Los Angeles — at a given time, a series of childhood events

James Ellroy stars in a new Investigation Discovery show, “James Ellroy’s L.A.: City of Demons.”

— my mother’s horrible murder — to input in a computer chip, to turn out a great historical crime writer, it would be me.”

His book, “My Dark Places” is about his mother’s unsolved murder and efforts to find her killer.

Though reclusive today, before he was a writer he threw himself into a cornucopia of self-destructive pastimes. He wrote his first book when he was about to turn 31.

“Before that I drank, I used drugs, I got in fights, I did county jail time. This is L.A., county jail for misdemeanor convictions. I got in minor kid trouble. I slept in parks. I stole (from) a lot of stores. I held down a lot of crummy jobs. I broke into houses and sniffed women’s undergarments.

All of this is in my memoir ‘The

s Turf, Inc.

RYn” E S R w NU ly g ro

M

Hillijker Curse,’” he said.

His jobs were as colorful as his lifestyle. He caddied at a country club, repossessed cars.

“I was — and this was the nadir —I was the night manager of an all-night pornographic bookstore in a sleazy part of Hollywood, midnight till 8 a.m. If there was a preposterous male adventure: fight, stupid job, stupid stunt, low-rent crime caper that a not terribly bad-ass, but outsized young man could have as a kid, I HAD it.

“You can’t have these adventures anymore,” he said. “There’s too many guns out there and

the drugs will kill (you) in six months. I grew up in a more innocent time. Young men like me could screw up with relative impunity.”

Divorced twice, Ellroy says Los Angeles is “where I come when women divorce me. My second wife divorced me, and a woman dumped me in San Francisco. I didn’t know where the hell else to live. I have friends here, film colleagues here and everybody’s gotta live somewhere. So I came back after 25 years. I lived in suburban New York, suburban Connecticut, Greenwich and New Canaan, then moved to Carmel, then San Francisco and then L.A.,” he said.

“What makes this show go,” he said, referring back to “L.A. Demons,” “is I think my personality, my voice and the fact that I’m a damn good public performer, and most writers are not. It daunts critics. There are a lot of critics who don’t like me. There are a lot of writers who don’t like me because I can walk to a podium and speak for an hour, extemporaneously.”

Stripes call it quits LOS ANGELES — The White Stripes are calling it a day.

In a statement posted Wednesday on their website, interest in which apparently caused the site to crash Wednesday morning, Jack and Meg White jointly said they will make no more recordings or live appearances as The White Stripes.

“The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.

The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health.

“It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.

Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of The White Stripes’ intense and incredible career.

“Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.”

A spokeswoman for the duo said there would be no further comment beyond the announcement.

The White Stripes released six studio albums since forming in 1997, and the live album “Under Great White Northern Lights” last year. Its last studio album, “Icky Thump,” came in 2007 and reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart. The duo collected four Grammy Awards, and Jack White picked up a fifth related to his work in the White Stripes as the writer of “Seven Nation Army,” named best rock song for 2003.

Wilco forms own label CHICAGO — Wilco took another step Wednesday toward becoming a self-contained music company when the Chicago band announced it was forming its own label, dBpm Records.

The label will be based in Easthampton, Mass., and run by the band’s manager, Tony Margherita. Distribution will go through Anti- Records, an offshoot of Los Angeles punk powerhouse label Epitaph.

The move severs Wilco’s ties with the major-label system. All of Wilco’s previous albums since its 1995 debut, “A.M.,” have been released by labels affiliated with Warner Brothers: Reprise and Nonesuch. By creating its own label, Wilco brings virtually all facets of its operation in-house.

“Wilco’s independent streak is well documented and nothing new,” Margherita said in a statement released by the band, “and this is the culmination of what we’ve been working towards for the last 15 years. As we reached the end of our last deal, it felt like it was time for a change and the one thing we were certain we did not want to do was to sign another traditional recording agreement.”

The sextet is working on its next studio album in its rehearsal space on Chicago’s North Side. No release date has been set.

‘iCarly’s’ Cosgrove on first concert tour DETROIT — This time the school of rock is real for Miranda Cosgrove.

Nine months after releasing “Sparks Fly,” her debut album of bubbly guitar-pop, the 17-yearold Nickelodeon star has hit the road for her first tour. The monthlong run will take her across the eastern seaboard before heading back to her native California.

Cosgrove can expect an eager reception from young fans enamored of her show “iCarly,” and you can bet that more than a few have caught her as Summer Hathaway in the 2003 film “School of Rock.”

En route to Kansas City for her kickoff show, Cosgrove is sweet and polite on the phone — not unlike her levelheaded “iCarly” character.

Cosgrove has been in show business long enough to know the importance of staying grounded and seeking good advice. (As a 9-year-old on the “School of Rock” set, she got rock-vocal lessons from Sonic Youth’s Jim O’Rourke and guitar inspiration from actor Jack Black.) Out on the road with her crew of dancers and four-piece band she’s got trusted voices of experience nearby.

“They’ve been on tour before, which is good, because I’m close to them and they’re giving me tips,” she said. “The main thing is just to go for it. When you’re doing so many shows, the thing is to really focus on each one.”

Cosgrove is also about to learn what it’s like to push her voice night after night — a challenge for even the most experienced pop singers. She’s already got the tour regimen down pat.

Bob Seger back on tour after 4 years DETROIT — Bob Seger is gearing up for his first tour in four years, the Detroit rocker confirmed last week.

Shows in “major cities across North America” will begin in March, with dates to be announced soon, according to a statement from Seger’s management.

The tour confirmation isn’t the only news: A yet-untitled album is also on the way from the 65year-old star, who will be previewing some of the material in a live set with his Silver Bullet Band.

For fans, it’s a promising sign that Seger is eager to hit the road.

He has often talked of the mental and physical challenge involved in ramping up for a tour.

“I’ve got to build up my stamina, my wind, my physical ability to do a live show, because people are going to expect a certain amount of energy,” he said in the days before his 2006 kickoff.

“The band is certainly able to deliver it. I have to step up to the plate and get there.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011 This year, you will experience a lot more possibilities because of a willingness to bounce ideas off others.

Aquarius is often a sign that has to be right, but the smart Aquarian opens up to many different thought systems and ideas. Your personality melts barriers and attracts many people. If you are single, opportunities to date abound.

Choosing the right person for the type of bond you want will remain key. If you are attached, try to defer to your sweetie more often. Recognize how dominant you can be. AQUARIUS is far from a fair-weather friend.

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 Zero in on your priorities.

Everyone seems gung-ho, yet later another attitude could emerge. You feel odd dealing with a closed-off person who refuses to open up.

You might ask what is going on here. Keep your focus. Tonight: Catch up on surprising news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Yes, you could be overly serious and perhaps tiresome to some people. Don’t worry — everyone likes how you get the job done. Don’t postpone a doctor’s or dentist’s appointment.

Keep yourself in tiptop shape.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A person you generally think of as playful could be a bit dour. You might try to cheer up him or her and wind up making this

person even more closed down.

Sometimes honoring another’s feelings rather than negating them makes all the difference.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You are your own worst critic. A partner or close associate encourages you to relax. Being uptight can only add to a difficulty.

Don’t push yourself too hard. Take a day off as soon as you can, just for you. Tonight: Togetherness works.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH A serious talk does a lot to repair a relationship. You might wonder exactly what is going on behind another’s cool demeanor.

Conversations open up a different point of view. Watch another person become more animated.

Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH An easy exchange with an associate might not be possible.

Give this person time to relax and flow. Throw yourself into your work.

Others have a lot of questions about a project. Don’t hesitate to get into a conversation about the matter at hand. Tonight: Relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your normal playfulness seems to be gone. A sad quality or edge could mar an excellent relationship. Slow down and think about what has occurred. Perhaps you need to revise your thinking.

Open up. Creativity will flow once more. Tonight: Go for fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Allow others to know of your disdain for an evolving situation.

Perhaps you are taking someone

too seriously. Know that you might need some downtime in order to recycle and take another look at what ails you. In a couple of days, your perspective will change. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A meeting could set the tone for the day. You could be exhausted and tired by everything that wings by today. You might choose to do something very differently from what others want.

Keep talking in order to fully grasp others’ concerns. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor. Catch up on news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding in a chosen direction. A boss or an authority figure might have strong opinions. Conversations need to involve different ideas, which might cause less total damage. Tonight: Be responsive to another’s ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Though someone at a distance could be difficult, you can bypass his or her negativity.

Try as you may, you cannot change this person’s mood. Stay on top of your work; you might need to screen some calls. You wonder why so many people want you! Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take your time making decisions. You could find a source to be somewhat closed down. Get feedback and ideas from others. In the end, it is you and only you who will be making the decisions. Sit down and reflect for as long as you need to. Tonight: Some solo time. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Trails Continued from E1 The weather forecast for the coming week also promises little to no new snow. Recreationists, however, can still try going for a run, hike or bike at lower elevations.

The return to winterlike temperatures means that what was once mud is now frozen, so it’s worth trying to get out on locales like the Phil’s Trail system or the Deschutes River Trail, but be careful, Sabo said.

There are also plenty of outdoor activities in the High Desert. Be aware though that this week the Bureau of Land Management started its annual closure of Dry River Canyon east of Bend to protect nesting raptors. The canyon will remain closed through Aug. 31.

Continued from E1 The river was up quite high, almost lapping the trail in some spots. Though there was mud in areas, most of the trail was wellpacked and easy to walk on.

After a short way, the trail intersects with the paved driveway of a private home. Here, hikers continue down the driveway to where the trail picks up on the other side. (The driveway is private property, said Susan Bethers, who manages the park, but there is a fisherman’s easement that allows the public to use it, and so far, she said, people have been respectful of the property.)

The river is quite wild here, not at all like the peaceful water in the park just downstream. Here it rocks and rolls its way through a canyon, with thundering rapids and fast-moving chutes. We had to shout to be heard on some parts of the trail.

Here, too, we saw some kayakers at play, spinning and rolling in the water. Clearly, we weren’t the only ones intent on enjoying the sunshine.

The trail is fairly level as it continues near the river, through the steep canyon. The walls rose steeply on either side of the river, capped by rock formations.

The scenery is quintessential Central Oregon, with lush, thick bushes growing near the river and drier landscape climbing the canyon walls. Both ponder-

After about a mile, there’s a bench along the trail, which would be a nice place to stop and eat a snack if you were so inclined. We kept going a bit farther to a rock slide just beyond the bench.

The trail stops there, said Bethers. There’s been talk, she said, of a trail that would continue past this point, possibly linking up with the river trail that runs through Bend.

For now, hikers who want to go farther would need to bushwack, and Bethers said they might be

4 million visit Yosemite National Park in 2010

By Mark Grossi McClatchy-Tribune News Service

FRESNO, Calif. — Yosemite National Park had more than 4 million visitors last year — the highest total since 1996.

Federal officials announced the figure Thursday, saying they were not surprised. They said people often rediscover nature

in tough economies, recognizing national parks are a bargain to visit.

“We’ve seen increased numbers of people from California and from around the world,” said parks spokesman Scott Gediman. “People come here with extended families and enjoy nature.”

The center of attention is Yosemite Valley, seven square miles surrounded by Half Dome, El Capitan and Yosemite Falls. The small valley became congested at times last summer, but rangers were not forced to temporarily close the gates as they did in the mid-1990s.

Officials said the park now has

better traffic management and a more detailed understanding of when and where crowds peak.

Rhoda Woodruff, 55, undergoes home dialysis with the help of her niece, Jarrie Woodruff-Weese, at their home in Riley.

“I have more energy. I feel better,” Woodruff said. “I don’t feel bloated or full all the time, and we don’t have a three-hour drive into Bend.”

The

comfort of home

By Markian Hawryluk • The Bulletin

I

n the dead of winter, Rhoda Woodruff and her niece, Jarrie Woodruff-Weese, would have to leave their house outside of Burns at 2:30 a.m. to drive the 150 miles to Bend in time M E D I for Woodruff’s 6 a.m. dialysis appointment. Three hours of having her blood systematically drained and filtered to remove the toxins she’d built up over the previous two days left her completely wiped out.

She’d sleep the entire 150 miles back home. Woodruff, 55, would take the next day to recover from her treatment and a day later she’d do it all over again.

“Even though it’s 2:30 in the morning and it’s snowing, we didn’t have the choice to go, ‘Well, the road is crappy, let’s forget it,’” Weese said.

Woodruff’s full-time occupation was being a kidney failure patient and she was barely surviving.

“I was 114 pounds, I had no energy to do anything. It was just skin C I N E hanging there,” Woodruff said. “Everybody thought I was dying, which I was.”

Then about a year ago, she learned of a new option being offered by her clinic, Fresenius Medical Services. Patients were being trained to do their own dialysis at home.

“I was on it. ‘Get me out of here,’” Woodruff said. “I made really good friends there, but it was the drive and just being wiped. After you’ve been sick for so long, you get sick of doing it.”

Woodruff and Weese, who now live in Riley, went through three weeks of

intensive training on how to operate the machine, how to insert the needles into Woodruff’s arm and how to deal with any emergency that might arise. As she approaches her one-year anniversary of doing her dialysis at home, Woodruff’s life has completely changed.

“I have more energy. I feel better,” she said. “I don’t feel bloated or full all the time, and we don’t have a three-hour drive into Bend.”

Six days a week, Weese hooks her up to the dialysis machine set up in their kitchen, and for two hours she sits and reads, does beadwork or quilts as the machine cleans her blood. Although she goes through dialysis more often than the three times per week schedule at the clinic, the sessions are shorter and easier.

FITNESS

Class helps participants make lifestyle changes

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

In a town like Bend — full of ultra-fit, young athletes — it’s easy for a middle-aged person who has neglected exercise and gained weight to feel intimidated and insecure about joining a gym or a yoga class.

But there’s a new program under way at Fleet Feet Sports this month where those people can learn to improve their lifestyles in a nonthreatening, supportive environment.

The Get in Motion program is for “people who need help with … food choices, reading labels, grocery shopping, stretching, strength training, injury prevention. The ideal participant is the one who has never exercised, has been told by the doctor they need to exercise to reduce their risk for diabetes, or who wants to get started again after a health hiatus,” said Shannah

Get in Motion The Get in Motion program is expected to run two or three times a year. The next fiveweek workshop begins March 8 at 5:30 p.m. Information night for that series will be March 3 at 6 p.m.

Registration is available online (www.fleetfeetbend.com/ getinmotion) and at the store, 1320 N.W. Galveston Ave., Bend. The series costs $50.

Check www.fleetfeetbend.com for updates or contact Shannah Werner, Fleet Feet’s training programs coordinator at training@fleetfeetbend.com.

Hemodialysis The most common form Blood removed Dialysis of kidney for cleasing machine dialysis is called Dialyzer hemodialysis. filter Blood is drawn and cycled Cleansed blood through a returned to body dialysis machine, which mimics the function of the kidneys. Hemodialysis is usually needed three times a week, and lasts 4 to 5 hours per treatment.

Peritoneal dialysis Dialysis solution is pumped into the abdominal cavity. Waste products and extra fluid Intestines pass through the peritoneum into the solution, and leave the body when the solution is drained. Filling and draining takes 30 to 40 minutes. The solution is left in the abdomen four to six hours. The complete Abdominal process doesn’t have to be cavity done in a clinic and can be performed several times a day.

Dialysis solution

Peritoneal membrane Catheter Used solution

During hemodialysis, blood and a dialysis fluid pass through a filter called a dialyzer.

The filter membrane allows waste and excess fluid to pass through into the dialysis fluid, but not blood cells, which are too big. Wastes are removed with the dialysis fluid, and the cleansed blood travels back to the body. In peritoneal dialysis, the body’s own peritoneum acts as the filter.

Life-or-death decisions call for advance planning

By Michelle Andrews Special to The Washington Post

Most people would agree that when the time comes, they want a “good death.” But what that means is all too often left up in the air until a crisis strikes or the stricken person is no longer able to communicate his wishes.

When that happens, spouses, adult children, siblings and others find themselves in the unenviable role of surrogate decision-makers, trying to divine, sometimes with very few facts and under very emotional circumstances, what people they love would have decided to do if they were able to choose.

The critical role of the surrogate decision-maker deserves more attention and support, say experts. It’s incredibly stressful — on a par psychologically with having your house burn down, says Daniel Sulmasy, a professor of medicine and ethics at the University of Chicago Divinity School and co-author of a commentary on surrogate decisionmaking in the Nov. 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Too often, hospital staff and clinicians want to move into the decision-making phase without taking into account the family members’ need to come to terms with the situation, he says.

It’s a role that many of us may have to step into. Only about one in four people have signed advance directives that spell out their wishes if they’re unable to make medical decisions on their own, according to a 2006 report published by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

An advance directive includes two types of documents. A living will describes what sort of lifesustaining and other treatment people want if they’re unable to communicate their wishes; a health care power of attorney designates someone to make medical decisions for a person who’s unable to do so. Different states have different names for these documents. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization provides links to instructions for completing the documents in every state.

Unfortunately, advance directives often don’t neatly address the specific medical situations that arise. When Marianne Vakiener’s 80-year-old mother entered the hospital near her home in Winchester, Va., for a hip replacement in 2008, her living will stated that she wanted no extraordinary measures used to keep her alive.

After the operation, the surgeon joined Vakiener and her father in the waiting room and told them the surgery had gone well.

A little later, however, a different doctor asked permission to insert a breathing tube because the patient wasn’t coming out of anesthesia as quickly as her doctors had hoped. Husband and daughter agreed.

Vakiener’s mother never woke up. Eventually, clinicians determined that she had had a stroke, although they couldn’t pinpoint when it happened. During the nine days that she was in the in-

tensive care unit while the family waited to see if she would recover, Vakiener, her three brothers and her father kept her on a respirator and had her connected to an IV line that provided nourishment.

Were these extraordinary measures? It didn’t seem so at the time. “We thought, ‘How can we not help her breathe and feed her if there’s a chance she might wake up?’” said Vakiener. As time passed, however, it became clear that her mother probably wasn’t going to come out of her coma and that even if she did, she wouldn’t have the quality of life she wanted. So the family decided to remove her breathing and feeding tubes.

“I had always thought that having a signed document would make things clear,” said Vakiener. “I learned that it didn’t.”

Vakiener’s mother had always been clear with her family that she would rather die than live her life hooked up to machines, said Vakiener. Vakiener’s father, who held her mother’s health care power of attorney, knew this, as did her children. Because it’s hard to anticipate medical decisions that may need to be made decades hence, naming a health care power of attorney who knows you and your values intimately may be even more important than a living will in some instances, say experts.

Clinicians can help guide family members through the decision-making process, and there’s an increasing recognition that doctors who have critically ill patients need good training in this area, said Douglas White, director of the program on ethics and decision-making in critical illness at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The most effective surrogates are those who aren’t afraid to ask lots of questions, said Kathy Brandt, a senior vice president at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

“You don’t want a passive person or someone who’s intimidated by the physician,” she said.

Initially, the cost of the expansion will be almost entirely borne by the federal government.

“All these new folks that come in the door, they are 100 percent funded for the first two years,” said Kolmer. (The state will be required to pay some for people who would have been eligible prior to the new law.)

After two years, the level of federal funding drops gradually until it reaches 90 percent in 2019.

The Kaiser analysis estimated that Oregon would have to spend about $438 million from the beginning of the expansion in 2014 through 2019. That, according to the analysis, is about 2 percent more than it would have spent without the law.

That number is dwarfed by the amount of money that will come in from the federal government to the state: $10.3 billion in the five years from 2014 to 2019.

That huge federal cost, however, has many worried.

Seeking health information is the third-most-prevalent activity among American Internet users, according to a report being issued this week by the Pew Internet Project. The only things more universal were exchanging e-mail and using search engines. (Of course, if someone uses Google to look up “shingles,” there’s obviously some overlap.)

Eight out of 10 Internet users report going online for health information, even if it’s only occasionally.

“Health-care information is there when they need it,” said Susannah Fox, associate director. People most commonly look up diseases, treatments and doctors, often on behalf of a child or other dependent.

Pew has been tracking Internet use in many fields — commerce, music, civic life — since 2000, and from the beginning, Fox said, “we were really struck by the depth of feeling that people expressed” about how the Internet helped them with health care.

“In many ways, the Internet has become the de facto second opinion,” she said.

The gap years Another major question will be what happens in Oregon between now and 2014.

The health reform law requires that states maintain their current eligibility standards for Medicaid (which in Oregon is the Oregon Health Plan). The idea is that the federal government picks up the tab for those newly eligible, rather than for all Medicaid patients.

But that could pose a problem for Oregon, which is struggling with a $3.5 billion budget gap.

Gov. John Kitzhaber’s budget submitted this week did not include enough money to keep the OHP program at current levels.

The state had been able to expand the number of people eligible for the program thanks to federal stimulus dollars, which have now come to an end.

federal government will spend about $443.5 billion by 2019 and states will spend about $21.1 billion for the new coverage.

“A lot is financed with Medicare cuts to (medical) providers and new taxes,” on medical device makers and pharmaceutical companies, said John Holahan, a director of the Health Policy Center at the Urban Institute and an author of the Kaiser report. Those industries, he said, should get new revenue from the expansion of coverage and presumed increased need for their products.

“It’s well structured,” said Holahan, “so it should be affordable.”

The affordability of the new law continues to be debated at both the federal and state level, but so far no changes have been made to these provisions.

for a doctor’s appointment — or recover from ‘it.’”

The study also reflects the broader reality that Internet use is divided by race and class.

Pew said that fewer than half of adults in the following groups use the Internet for health care information: African Americans, Latinos, people 65 and older, disabled adults and those living in households with less than $30,000 annual income.

However, the report notes, some of those figures may change, because Latinos and African Americans have been shown to increasingly get information from smart phones and other mobile devices.

Rising use of mobile devices might also affect what most people look for online.

“Yahoo, for example, reports that ‘pregnancy,’ ‘herpes’ and ‘STD’ (sexually transmitted diseases) are among the top five searches performed on the mobile version of their site,” the study says. “These topics do not appear at all among the top five health searches for the non-mobile versions of either Yahoo or Google.”

Medicaid expansion under federal health care law The federal health care reform law passed last March included an expansion in the number of people eligible for Medicaid, which in Oregon is called the Oregon Health Plan. Oregon will see one of the biggest drops in low-income adults without insurance thanks to the expansion.

is “an evolving conversation,” said Kolmer, before the release of the governor’s budget. He said many states will need to be talking to the federal government about how to keep enrollment stable, or gain exemptions to the law’s requirement, in the midst of budget crises.

Finding care

of work force issues and challenges that need to be addressed,” said Kolmer. He said state agencies are looking at that question.

An analysis published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Oregon would likely have greater challenges than most other states in meeting the primary care needs of those newly eligible for OHP after 2014. The analysis found that the new influx of patients would likely outstrip the state’s current ability to care for them.

Though talk of solutions has often focused on the number of primary care physicians, “we can’t depend on one particular profession,” said Kolmer. “The high-end professionals take a long time to grow, so you can only grow them at a certain rate.”

Instead, the state is looking at how to use people other than physicians to help keep people healthy. Kolmer said the new approach is to use teams of medical professionals, which might include nurses, nutritionists or specialists in behavioral health, rather than leaning exclusively on physicians.

Regardless of what happens to the health care reform law, Kolmer said, there will still be problems with too few primary care providers for the number of patients. “Oregon is not unique to any state in thinking about work force issues,” he said. “This is irrelevant of expansions.”

Coconut water is catching on as a sports drink. Different brands of coconut water can be found in grocery and health food stores.

With little sugar, lots of electrolytes, drink isn’t all hype

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Coconut water has been around for thousands of years, revered for its powers to restore health and improve beauty. Recently, it has hit the American market as a super drink.

Coconut water can be a valid sports drink substitution and has some valuable qualities, said Lynne Oldham, a registered dietitian at St. Charles Bend, but there is a lot of unsubstantiated hype about it, too.

“The hype includes that it is super hydrating, immune boosting, can dissolve kidney stones and strengthen reproductive functions and is a hangover cure,” said Oldham. “These are typically based on testimonials without evidence-based science behind them.”

Not to be confused with coconut milk, coconut water is clear liquid from the center of a young, green fruit (not the kind you find in a grocery store). The beverage is fairly plain, thin and watery, with a slight, natural sweetness and just a hint of coconut taste.

Where coconut milk is full of fat and calories, coconut water is low in calories and free of added sugar, cholesterol and fat. It’s full of electrolytes — potassium, sodium, magnesium — things athletes need to replenish after a workout, which is why it’s catching on as a sports drink. Four years ago, while training for a triathlon, Bend resident Bari Liebowitz started drinking coconut water instead of other more engineered sports drinks.

“It has low amounts of natural sugar, more potassium than a banana, tons of magnesium.

It’s an amazing re-hydrant,” said Liebowitz, a local chiropractor who also has a master’s degree in human nutrition.

Without any food coloring, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners, coconut water doesn’t aggravate Liebowitz’s asthma as much as drinks containing artificial ingredients.

Coconut water manufacturers acquire the product from family-owned plantations in Latin America, Indonesia and Asia. One coconut yields about 11 ounces of water, which is extracted from the fruit, pasteur-

It’s chic and trendy and booming right now, in part because so many celebrities have been spotted drinking it, including Demi Moore, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Brook Shields. Madonna reportedly invested more than a million dollars in Vita Coca, a leading manufacturer of the drink.

But it’s not just cool, it can be practical, too. It would be helpful for patients with diarrhea in underdeveloped countries with unsafe water, Oldham said. It’s historically been used as an intravenous fluid, such as during World War II, but that doesn’t typically happen anymore, she said. A study conducted in 1954 looked at its intravenous use and determined that it might be useful for emergency treatment of hypovolemia — severe blood loss — if other sterile fluids were not available, Oldham said.

And it is good for the everyday athlete to drink after light and moderate workouts, she said.

The American Council on Exercise featured coconut water in its December nutritional spotlight. Noting that the drink was offered to runners in the 2010 Malibu International Marathon, the report debated whether it was truly a superior sports drink. The conclusion: For short and moderate workouts, a bottle of the coconut water can replace potassium and sodium.

But longer endurance workouts require a higher-sodium sports drink that has more calories and carbohydrates.

Here are a few ways to keep your New Year’s resolutions. We asked registered dietitian Bernadette Latson for her 2011 tips.

She’s director of the coordinated program in dietetics at University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center.

1. Write it down. You can find sites online or apps on your smart phone to help you keep track.

2. Make specific goals. Instead of saying, “No more margaritas,” you might say, “I’ll only have them one night a week,”

she said. Or decide to stop eating after 8 p.m.

3. Be aware of portion sizes.

Fill a 9-inch plate with half vegetables, one-quarter starch and one-quarter protein.

4. Eat breakfast. Studies have shown doing so helps keep calorie consumption down the rest of the day. Make it a good mix of protein, carbs and fat, she said.

5. Aim for a 10 percent loss of your body weight if you’re significantly overweight. “It makes a huge difference,” Latson said. It can, for example, significantly reduce your risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

M Flu causes stomach illness.

THE REALITY: Though this claim is not completely untrue, at its root the notion stems from a confusion about what flu actually is.

Influenza is a very specific type of virus, said Dr. Richard Fawcett, an infectious disease specialist and health officer at the Deschutes County Health Department. Its typical symptoms are upper respiratory problems such as coughing and a runny nose, a sore throat, mild fever and aching muscles.

What people typically call stomach flu is almost never flu at all but one of a number of other viruses.

Norovirus is the most common,

but adults can contract any number of viruses that cause the vomiting and diarrhea that most people call stomach flu.

Sometimes, influenza will cause gastrointestinal symptoms, said Fawcett, though if you truly have an influenza virus there will always be other symptoms, such as those mentioned above, present as well.

Where there’s smoke (and fire), there’s a toxic health hazard

By Lynda Shrager Albany Times Union

Not only do I have a beautiful see-through fireplace between my living room and den; I have a fireplace in my office, which is upstairs off the bedroom.

That’s a lot of opportunity for sitting by the fire. Many of my latest columns have been created with the crackling of the flame in the background. As I was working on a recent column, I learned something I had not previously been aware of: Potential health hazards related to fireplaces.

“There are particles and toxic agents emitted by burning wood that, when inhaled, may cause shortness of breath or wheezing and possibly a life–threatening asthma attack,” according to Dr. Leonard Bielory, director of the Asthma and Allergy Research Center at New Jersey Medical School.

Wood smoke from fireplaces and wood–burning stoves contains fine particles so small several thousand could fit on the period of a sentence, yet they can reach into the lungs and harm heart function. The smoke also contains nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic compounds, all of which may cause various respiratory and cardiac problems. That was the bad news.

The good news is that we can enjoy a beautiful fire, but to ensure safety, comfort warmth and relaxation, it is up to us be sure the fireplace is well-maintained and we know how to properly operate it.

People with known respiratory conditions should not be too closely exposed to fires for too long, and adequate ventilation in the room will help offset smoke that is emitted. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends chimneys or wood stoves be inspected annually and cleaned, when deemed necessary, by a certified chimney specialist. I think it’s more fun to call them chimney sweeps (picture Dick Van Dyke in “Mary Poppins”).

The need for a full cleaning is determined based on the number of fires you burn each year and the condition of the chimney. They will look for problems within the chimney and remove creosote and obstructions. It

Most experts recommend a cap be installed on top of the chimney to protect against debris and animals blocking the chimney. The area around the hearth should be kept clear of debris, decorations and any flammable material. Be sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working, and have a fire extinguisher handy.

When the fire is burning, leave the glass doors open to ensure the fire gets enough air to guarantee complete combustion and prevent creosote buildup. Keep the mesh screen closed to keep embers from jumping out.

Although studies show that home dialysis patients do as well as those getting in-center dialysis and have a better quality of life, nationally only 8 percent of dialysis patients are treated at home. Beginning this year, however, new Medicare payment rules are helping to make home dialysis a more viable option. Amid growing concerns about the quality of in-clinic dialysis and higher mortality rates for kidney failure patients in the U.S. than in other countries, many experts think home dialysis could be the answer.

Blood cleaner Kidney failure patients are among the nation’s sickest patients. Healthy kidneys work round the clock to keep the body’s fluids and chemicals in proper balance, removing waste products and ensuring the proper levels of things like sodium, potassium and phosphorus. When kidneys fail, that balance is lost and the body can’t function normally.

Dialysis replaces the function that kidneys perform, using a mechanical filter or a membrane to clean the waste products from the blood and restore the proper balance of body chemicals.

Home dialysis used to be quite common, with up to 40 percent of kidney failure patients undergoing dialysis at home as late as the 1970s. But when Medicare created its End Stage Renal Disease program in 1973 and became the primary payer for dialysis services, the economics changed. Dialysis clinics began to spring up all over the country, increasing access for dialysis patients.

Over time, two for-profit dialysis chains, Fresenius Medical and DaVita, came to dominate the market. The two chains now treat about two-thirds of the 360,000 dialysis patients in the U.S. “In the beginning, dialysis in the center was well-paid — a lot of money was put into dialysis — and for the first five years, home dialysis was very badly paid, so that was a disincentive,” said Dr. Christopher Blagg, a retired nephrologist and executive director emeritus of Northwest Kidney Centers in Seattle. “The other thing that happened was that as dialysis units proliferated there weren’t many nephrologists with experience with home dialysis.”

There are two types of home dialysis available to patients.

The more common form is called peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen as the membrane

Patients use a catheter to fill their abdomen with dialysis solution. The membrane that lines the abdominal cavity, called the peritoneum, allows waste products and extra fluid to pass from the blood into the dialysis solution. The patient then drains the solution. Patients must perform this exchange of solution four times a day, but they can lead active lives while doing their dialysis.

“The thing about peritoneal dialysis is that it’s simple, but you’ve got to persuade a patient that they want to have a tube stuck in their belly and exchange fluids,” Blagg said. “But you can be taught to do that within a week, and for patients who want to do it, it’s really quite a successful treatment.”

But for many patients, peritoneal dialysis is only a temporary solution. Many will develop infections or other complications that make it impossible to continue.

Home hemodialysis, meanwhile, is similar to in-clinic dialysis, relying on a machine that takes blood from the body, filters it and returns it. It’s been less popular than peritoneal dialysis in part because the dialysis machines were big and complicated to operate. And it required substantial plumbing alterations in the home to provide a sterile supply of water.

“It’s very overwhelming. It was the same equipment that the nurses use in the center,” said Dr. Russell Massine, a nephrologist with Bend Memorial Clinic. “But in the last five to 10 years, there’s been something called the NxStage System, which is the dialysis machine about the size of an office printer, and it has only three or four buttons. The cartridges are very easy to use, it’s portable, and it comes now with a system to sterilize the water that doesn’t necessitate all the plumbing that was previously required.”

It made it much easier to train patients to do their own hemodialysis at home. They still have to insert needles into their own arms or have a partner at home do it for them.

“But they are able to do this hemodialysis in their home, maybe 5 to 6 times a week, and that obviates the need to come to the center,” Massine said. “They do everything on their own. Their autonomy is restored. They do not have to travel. They’re much less affected by their chronic illness and less dependent on the health care system.”

Fresenius Medical, the sole dialysis provider to offer home hemodialysis in Central Oregon, requires patients to have a trained

helper and a backup in case the helper can’t be there. Supplies are shipped to the patient’s home and the NxStage machine is provided free of charge by the dialysis clinic.

“It’s an amazing little machine packed into a very small space,” Weese said. “It makes sure there’s no air in the bloodline. We hook it up and test with saline all the way through, it tests the cartridge and tells me if it’s a good one or a bad one. That’s all really I have to do, run the saline and make the batches (of dialysis solution), then I get everything else ready, the needles, and then get Rhoda on.”

Fresenius is running a pilot program in Bend to test the greater use of home hemodialysis, coinciding with the changes in the Medicare payments system.

“We’re the spearhead of launching this home dialysis program,” Massine said. “We’re flush with resources, therefore we’ve been able to expand our program. So we’ve gone from essentially zero home hemodialysis patients to nine in the last eight to 10 months.”

Of the 166 dialysis patients in Central Oregon, nearly a quarter are doing home dialysis. That’s four times the national average.

“We are only hoping to increase our home dialysis population,” Massine said. “They all provide greater quality of life, potentially, as well as improved outcomes in what we as nephrologists are trying to measure and achieve.”

Fresenius, which provides in-clinic dialysis in Bend and Redmond, serves all of Central Oregon as well as much of Eastern Oregon.

“Many of our patients have to come in from a remote area, such as Lakeview, Riley, John Day, and it would be logistically difficult for them to come three times a week for a three-hour run of dialysis,” Massine said. “So we have been encouraging our patients to participate in home dialysis.”

Convincing patients Although there’s plenty of evidence that home dialysis provides better care for dialysis patients, it generally doesn’t happen unless both the doctor and the clinic are supportive of the model, and the patient is motivated to try it.

“NxStage deserves a great deal of credit because they’ve created the push and publicity both

among patients and physicians,” Blagg said. “We went down to about 1,700 patients in this country on home hemo, and we’re now in the 5,000 to 6,000 range. It’s not much compared to the total, but it’s growing.

It’s certainly a very different situation from 10 years ago.”

Surveys of nephrologists have shown the doctors see the value in home hemodialysis as well.

When asked what form of dialysis they would choose for themselves if they developed kidney failure, the overwhelming majority of nephrologists said they would choose home hemodialysis.

That’s in part because in-center dialysis can be particularly hard on the body.

“You’re trying to remove waste products and fluids in a three- to four-hour period, that would normally be done by your kidneys over a continuous 24-7 period of time, so you can imagine the physiologic stress that puts on the body,” Massine said. “The biggest complaints that patients have is they may feel washed out or fatigued. They may have drops in blood pressure that precipitate episodes of dizziness.”

While some patients stick to a three-day-a-week dialysis schedule at home, most shift to morefrequent, but shorter sessions of dialysis, as many as six or seven a week.

“The advantage of the home therapy, though you have to do it more frequently — peritoneal dialysis every day, home hemodialysis for five to seven days — the volume you’re removing and the amount of waste product you’re removing is spread out over a much larger period of time, so that many of those adverse symptoms are mitigated,” Massine said.

Research shows patients do much better with more-frequent dialysis. More-frequent dialysis provides better control of phosphorus levels and blood pressure, reducing the need for medication.

A major National Institutes of Health study published last fall found that six-time-a-week dialysis was less likely to damage the heart, a frequent complication of in-center dialysis, and helped to maintain patients’ physical functioning. Previous research has shown that a decline in physical functioning and heart damage both predict a dialysis patient’s risk of hospitalization and death.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Many people are unprepared to deal with the legal and financial consequences of a serious illness such as Alzheimer’s disease.

This seminar will address some of the fundamental elements of legal and financial planning. Some of the topics covered are: • Health Care Advanced Directives • Health Care Representatives • Durable Power of Attorney for Financial and Estate Management • Living Will and Living Trust • Clarification of legal terms, such as Assets, Beneficiary, Conservator, Guardian, Legal Capacity, and Trustee • Medicaid and the meaning of “Spend Down”: When to Apply, Qualifications and Exemptions

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, February 3, 2011 F5

M From previous page With such advantages, why aren’t more people doing dialysis at home?

“The leading reason, we believe, that people aren’t choosing home dialysis treatment options is that nobody tells them that there is such a thing,” said Dori Schatell, executive director of the Medical Education Institute, a nonprofit that focuses on kidney disease patient education.

While Medicare required clinics to run through the options with patients, until two years ago, clinics only had to tell patients about the dialysis options they offered.

“Now clinics are required to tell all of their options and where to get them if the clinic doesn’t offer them,” Schatell said.

Fresenius holds classes in Bend and Redmond each month to tell patients who will need dialysis in the near future about their options. Nichole Aldrich, home therapies manager at the Bend clinic, said home dialysis tends to appeal to patients who are more independent or those who are still working.

“They can dialyze on their own schedule, versus being stuck to an in-center schedule,” she said. “It works well for people who have other things going on in their lives.”

Some patients are squeamish about needles or worried about the complexity of home dialysis, particularly after seeing the bigger, more complicated machines used in clinics.

“The sort of lure of getting dialysis in a clinic is that professionals will take care of you, but the problem is that actually puts a huge burden on the patient to follow a rigid diet, to limit their fluids, to take lots of medications because those three days a week of treatment are really not doing enough,” Schatell said. “If you go home, you’re going to put a little more effort in yourself, but it’s a different kind of effort. Instead of watching every bit of food that goes in your mouth, and every thing that you drink, you’re going to be doing the treatment and setting up the machine, but you’re going to feel much more in control.”

Bundled payments Schatell also believes that recent changes in the way Medicare pays for dialysis may encourage more clinics to offer home dialysis and to be more enthusiastic about the option when educating patients. Until this year, Medicare paid clinics for providing the treatment, and then paid clinics additional amounts for the expensive drugs they used. Many clinics made their profits off the drugs more than the dialysis. Beginning in January, Medicare has been paying clinics a single bundled payment intended to cover the treatment, supplies, lab tests and intravenous drugs. (Some oral medications used in dialysis won’t be included in the bundle until next year.)

The new payment system is intended to spur clinics to be more efficient in providing dialysis service, and to limit the use of medications unless they are truly needed. Facilities will also have to meet strict quality standards, ensuring they won’t simply cut back on care.

Schatell said, however, the new bundled payment system will make home dialysis a much more attractive option for the clinics, especially once the oral medications are added to the bundled payment.

“Oral medications are much more used by people in the cen-

ter than those who are at home, so the industry basically believes that once that provision goes into effect, peritoneal dialysis especially is going to become just a much more favorable way to go,” she said.

Home dialysis may also be a more attractive option for patients who are still working and have group health insurance through their employers. When dialysis patients have such coverage, it pays for the first 30 months of dialysis, and at higher rates than Medicare.

Clinics that offer home dialysis options may be able to attract more patients with better insurance payments, and keep those patients working and insured longer.

“If you have home dialysis, and you have a good health plan, then your clinic is going to take more money from treating you than it would by treating somebody who has just Medicare,” Schatell said.

“That’s how we were able to get some of the dialysis providers on board in the first place. They live or die on their payor mix.”

The Medicare payment changes also provided some reimbursement to clinics to cover the cost of training patients on home dialysis. Training costs represent a large upfront investment for facilities that may push the cost of home dialysis above that of inclinic dialysis at least initially.

“You have to have probably 15 to 20 patients in the program before you start to make any surplus from home dialysis because the training costs are high,” Blagg said. “Even then it will have taken you somewhere between a year and a half to 2 years before you start making money.”

Once training is completed, however, the cost of home hemodialysis is about 60 percent of the cost of in-clinic dialysis.

If the finances work out, a move to home dialysis could also address many of the quality issues identified with in-center care.

Centers aren’t inspected by the federal government each year, as nursing homes and hospitals are, and recent investigations have uncovered significant quality issues, particularly among the forprofit chains.

“In the last few years, there’s been concern about whether the mortality of U.S. patients is greater than elsewhere,” Blagg said. “I think people are starting to see that things could be made better than they are.”

Schatell said patients can have great control over the quality of their care by doing it themselves.

“I believe that clinics try very hard to provide good care under very difficult circumstances,” she said. “They’re chronically understaffed. The reimbursement for dialysis has not kept pace with the cost, so in this country we’ve moved towards having technicians instead of nurses.”

At-home patients are exposed to fewer germs and have a single person putting needles in their arm, helping their access point last longer.

“You know your machine, you know your treatment. There’s much less potential for error than when the machine was just used for somebody else. Maybe the settings were changed, maybe they didn’t. Maybe somebody had an emergency, maybe somebody got busy and was distracted,” she said. “You can have considerably more control over the quality of your own care (at home) than you would in a clinic with 70 to 80 other patients.”

IT’S NOT NICE WHEN YOUR KIDS HAVE LICE

Infestation needs quick care

By Patricia Montemurri Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — When Sarah Casello-Rees discovered that her kindergarten-age son had head lice, she went into a frenzy — buying every potion and chemical treatment she could find. And then she discovered she had lice, too.

“I went into hazmat mode.

I just became anxiety-ridden at the thought that things were crawling through my hair,” said Casello-Rees, 47.

“I would have paid anybody anything to help me.”

And that’s when the longtime Ann Arbor, Mich., personal trainer had an entrepreneurial “a-ha” moment.

In August 2008, she opened the Lice Brigade, treating customers with nontoxic products and a manual comb-out to remove lice and nits.

Now, she can send any one of eight nitpickers — she calls them practitioners — to homes or schools to take care of an infestation. She also has an Ann Arbor office, known as Rapunzel’s Lice Boutique, where she treats customers.

And since December, she’s acquired the LouseBuster, a device approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a nonchemical treatment for getting rid of lice.

The LouseBuster is a vacuum-like machine that shoots hot, dry air onto the scalp, which kills the lice and eggs.

In the first two weeks of the year, she treated 41 people with the LouseBuster, at $145 each. The traditional treatment, manual combing, is $95. There are additional charges for at-home visits.

Her business draws the lice-besieged from near and far. She had a family from Missouri drive 12 hours to her shop so that a single mom and her long-haired teenage daughters could get the treatment. Last week, a Detroitarea Catholic school asked her and her staff to check the scalps of 450 students.

Any time school or camp is in session can be the right time for lice to spread. It’s spread most directly from head-to-head contact. But it also can be transmitted by sharing combs, headgear and clothing. Lice afflict people regardless of wealth or social status or personal hygiene.

In July, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a report that suggested that many cases of head lice are false.

The report cited a study of 600 samples taken from children’s scalps believed to be infested with lice, and found that twothirds were dandruff, scabs, dirt, hair spray droplets, or already dead or inactive lice eggs.

The Michigan Department of Community Health manual on head lice notes that it “does not pose a significant health hazard and is not known to spread disease. The most common symptom is itching due to sensitization to allergens in lice saliva.

Many times there are no symptoms. “ But an outbreak requires a good deal of cleaning — vacuuming of upholstery, carpets and mattresses, and hot-water washing of linens and clothes — to ensure there isn’t a further spread of the critters.

“The largest impact of head lice comes not from the condition itself but from our culturally based reactions and emotions towards the condition,” says the Michigan Department of Community Health manual on head lice.

Casello-Rees understands the panic.

When her son, Donovan Rees, first had lice in 2008, he was one of 18 kids in a kindergarten class of 23 carrying them.

“He was one of the 60 percent of cases that had no symptoms.

He didn’t itch. But he probably had them for months,” recalled Casello-Rees. “At the store, I bought everything off the shelf.

The check out girl looked at my purchases and said ‘Oh, this doesn’t look good.’”

But she managed to turn her

Sarah Casello-Rees, owner of The Lice Brigade in Ann Arbor, Mich., appears with her son, Donovan Rees, 7, who had lice for the first time in 2007.

That incident provided the inspiration for her business, which specializes in treating lice.

Regina H. Boone Detroit Free Press

son’s bout with head lice into a career.

Casello- Rees says she’s proud of what she does and how it helps people in obvious distress.

And she has come to terms with dealing with crawling creepy critters.

“I joke that when I tell people

what I do they take a couple of steps back,” she says. Yet, clients are grateful for the service she provides.

“Some of them want to hug us,” she says. Still, even though she knows that it’s difficult to contract lice without head-to-head contact, “we say no thanks.”

INTEGRATIVE CARE FOR YOUR MIND & BODY

What to do Head lice are small, wingless insects that live on the human head and suck blood. They lay eggs in clumps, called nits, that attach to individual hairs. The Oregon Department of Human Services recommends these safety tips when an infestation takes place: • Do not share combs and brushes or other types of headwear, such as hats, headbands or earphones. Keep hats, caps and coats on hangers and separate.

• Treat infested persons right away with medicated shampoo when head lice are detected. Treat again in seven to 10 days. Check daily for two weeks after treatment to detect reinfestation quickly.

• Keep your home louse-free. Check all members in the household for lice and nits weekly if there have been cases at school or among friends.

• Teach children in group situations such as families and classrooms about lice and to follow the steps outlined here to prevent spread of lice.

Most schools require children to be “nit free” before they can return, because there is no way to tell live nits from dead ones.

Nit removal also helps assure successful treatment. If the nit is removed, it cannot hatch a nymph and begin infestation again.

Class CLASSES Continued from F1 This describes Lisa Stutzman, one of the eight participants in this program, who said she is “borderline Type 2 diabetes” and on a lot of medications. “I’m only 49, and I have high blood pressure, high blood sugar … high cholesterol.

“I have arthritis in my knees and ankles, and I know the more I move, the better I feel,” she said.

“I want to get control of my life again.”

Stutzman used to be fit, but she stopped exercising after breaking her ankle in 2005. With a full-time job and twin boys, she usually felt too busy to work out. Her husband, a runner, was shopping at Fleet Feet recently, saw a flier about the Get in Motion program, and paid the $50 fee so she had to go.

The first of five Tuesday evening sessions started in midJanuary with eight women sitting on the benches next to Fleet Feet’s running shoe display, while Werner suggested what kinds of goals to set and offered tips to make movement a habit.

Werner suggested parking as far away from the grocery store door as possible and walking down the hall to talk to a coworker instead of e-mailing.

Becoming more active, Werner said, will build lung capacity, stave off osteoporosis and reduce blood sugar levels.

The participants then stood and started warm-up exercises: knee lifts, standing leg lifts, arm circles. Some felt pain.

They walked in circles around the store while Werner coached them on how to roll their steps from heel to toe. Then came time for the first real walk. The women donned hats and coats and headed down a west Bend neighborhood street on a dark rainy night, chatting most of the way.

“I just turned 60,” said Diane Kaufman during the 10-minute walk. “I need to exercise to get excess weight off.”

Kaufman said she wants clothes shopping to be easier and more enjoyable. She deserves to wear the same trendy clothes that size 4 women get to wear, she said, but they don’t come in extra-large sizes. As far as exercise goes, Kaufman said, “It’s easier to do it in a group.”

Werner agrees: The weekly meetings provide accountability, motivation and support.

Shannah Werner, right, talks to a group of women about their new exercise schedule and everything it entails at the Get in Motion class at Fleet Feet in Bend.

When the group returned from the walk to Fleet Feet’s door, many hooted or applauded. Someone called, “You go, girl!” A few people were breathing hard. Most of them were smiling. Werner yelled from the back of the pack, “Don’t sit down!” She wanted them to stretch before their muscles seized up.

Camaraderie grew exponentially during the first class.

Women joked with each other about topics from cupcakes to husbands. When someone couldn’t lift a leg high enough during a stretch, someone else grabbed her pant leg and pulled.

But it’s more than just moral support; it’s technical, expert advice.

Doctors and dietitians from Bend Memorial Clinic, trainers from Fleet Feet and nutritional experts from Whole Foods discuss subjects ranging from appropriate workout attire to specific food planning.

One evening, guest speaker Bari Liebowitz, a chiropractor, demonstrated how to use foam rollers to help work out muscle pains without an expensive masseuse.

Another week, a registered dietitian from Bend Memorial Clinic, Eris Craven, discussed how to read and understand food labels: nutrients, total fat, carbohydrates, protein.

For example, how do you pick a healthy bread? Bread with a label that says multi-grain is not as healthy as one that says “whole” before the grain.

“When grain is processed, vitamins and fiber and nutrients get processed out of the food,” Craven said. Bread that has all its nutrients intact will be more

satisfying, allowing a person to eat a smaller serving, she said.

Another guest speaker, endocrinologist Mary Carroll from Bend Memorial Clinic, said gone are the days when physicians advised patients with health problems to “take it easy.”

“Today, there is little doubt that aerobic exercise helps prevent, treat and sometimes even cure many conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and arthritis,” she said. Exercising large muscles causes our hearts to beat more efficiently, opens our blood vessels and airways, and releases natural pain killers called endorphins, she said.

“Aerobic exercise not only has multiple physical benefits but also psychological ones. People who exercise simply feel better,” she said.

Terry Anderson said most exercise classes she’s considered don’t include all the components that come with Get in Motion: nutrition, injury prevention, pain relief, etc. And this class works at a manageable level, she said.

After neglecting her health for too long, it’s not too intimidating to join, said Anderson, 74, who has arthritis and other aches and pains. She was motivated to sign up after realizing she had to stop to catch her breath on a very short walk.

“After a while you get scared, and you have to do something about it,” she said.

“It’s hopeful,” she said about the class. “You feel like you’re going to accomplish it.”

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 properly 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 alter the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out dale, 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 al least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out.

You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to slay. Under slate 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.
