CONCEALED GUNS

Salem mulls privacy proposal

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — During a public hearing Wednesday, a bill that would make confidential the identities of people who hold concealed handgun licenses drew several supporters, scant opposition and seemed to find state lawmakers in a receptive mood.

“This is a privacy issue,” said Rep. Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer, as she introduced the bill to the House Judiciary Committee.

She said concealed license holders “did not ask to be put in the public spotlight.”

Yet media reIN THE quests under LEGISLATURE Oregon’s public records law might disclose “all kinds of different information” — such as whether a person had been dishonorably discharged from the military.

Thatcher hopes House Bill 2787 will succeed where a similar bill failed two years ago. If it becomes law, the bill would settle a long-running dispute that pits gun owners and several county sheriffs against media outlets and government transparency supporters.

Concealed handgun license files had long been accessible under state public records law.

But several years ago, some county sheriffs stopped releasing them, citing privacy concerns.

When Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters denied such a request in 2007, the Medford Mail Tribune newspaper appealed his decision to the Oregon Court of Appeals.

MON-SAT

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Police said Wednesday they expect to make an arrest soon in the hit-and-run crash that killed a Bend man just over two weeks ago.

“We have a strong person of interest in this case and we will resolve this case,” said Lt.

Ben Gregory of the Bend Police Department. “An arrest is imminent.”

On Jan. 26, a still-unidentified southbound driver struck and killed 48-year-old Anthony “Tony” Martin as he pushed his bicycle across Third Street near Revere Avenue shortly before 11 p.m.

On Feb. 2, police announced they had identified a person of interest in the case and processed a 2008 GMC pickup for evidence.

Gregory said the department still has the truck in its possession, and was still unable to comment on how the truck came into the hands of

the police.

On Monday, a group was seen on Third Street taking measurements at the crash site.

Approached by The Bulletin, members of the group declined to identify themselves.

Gregory said he was not familiar with any investigation being conducted by persons

The police department’s investigation of the incident is ongoing, Gregory said, but has been scaled back from the days immediately following the crash when seven detectives were on the case.

Jefferson County Treasurer Deena Goss is seen in her Madras office Wednesday. The county is considering disciplinary action against Goss — who has held the position for seven years — for violations involving county investments and inmate funds.

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

MADRAS — Jefferson County Treasurer Deena Goss said she has done nothing wrong as a public official and told commissioners on Wednesday she will not resign.

Goss addressed the commissioners before they met to discuss a draft letter that lists potential disciplinary actions for nine violations of county and state policy.

The letter includes a claim that Goss has “become delinquent” because of errors made in the handling of an inmate trust fund account at the Jefferson Coun-

“I’m not going to resign.

I’ve done nothing wrong.”

Goss took the opportunity to tell her side of the story before commissioners deliberated on the letter.

Goss said she was fine with the Department of Justice’s investigation of

the inmate trust fund, as she assumed the entire money transfer process between the jail and her office would be examined.

“I had no problem with the investigation,” Goss said. “I was surprised when the letter was targeting me.”

The letter Goss referenced was one in which the DOJ said there was not enough evidence to charge Goss with a crime but also stated: “It is highly suspicious that accounting problems arise exclusively when Goss handles cash.”

Goss said the investigation should exonerate her.

New drilling method taps shale oil

INDEX Abby

Arrest ‘imminent’ in hit-and-run

By Jonathan Fahey The Associated Press

A new drilling technique is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States, helping reverse a two-decade decline in domestic production of crude.

Companies are investing billions of dollars to get at oil deposits scattered across North Dakota, Colorado, Texas and California. By 2015, oil executives and analysts say, the new fields could yield as much as 2 million barrels of oil a day — more than the entire Gulf of Mexico produces now.

This new drilling is expected to raise U.S. production by at least 20 percent over the next five years. And within 10 years, it could help reduce oil imports by more than half.

Oil engineers are applying what critics say is an environmentally questionable method developed in recent years to tap natural gas trapped in underground shale. They drill down and horizontally into the rock, then pump water, sand and chemicals into the hole to crack the shale and allow gas to flow up.

A lieutenant with the Redmond Police Department was arrested Tuesday on allegations he sold firearms and other items he had stolen while running the department’s armory, authorities said.

Larry Wayne Prince, 48, a 16year veteran of the department, was put on paid administrative leave on Dec. 30 after an inventory audit of the armory revealed various discrepancies, said Redmond Police Chief Dave Tarbet.

The Lt. Larry investigation Prince was turned over to the Oregon State Police, Tarbet said, in order to maintain impartiality.

Prince was arrested Tuesday morning in Coos Bay by detectives and troopers from OSP, along with agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He was lodged in the Coos County Jail on charges of first-degree official misconduct, first-degree theft, and first-degree forgery. He was still being held as of Wednesday evening, pending transfer to Deschutes County.

Prince was in charge of the department’s armory for about 10 years until he was reassigned late last year.

PUBLIC SECTOR

Governors, unions brace for battle

By Melissa Maynard McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The Associated Press

Oil is sprayed over 15 acres downwind of a runaway well owned by Denver-based SM Energy Company. The well, 12 miles east of Cheyenne, Wyo., is among the first drilled in a rush to tap the Niobrara Shale underlying Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.

WASHINGTON — Union membership on the whole continued to fall in 2010, with only 11.9 percent of wage and salary workers across the country belonging to unions, new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show. This is down from 20.1 percent in 1983, the first year with similar data.

Public sector unions have escaped a comparable decline in their ranks, with 36.2 percent of state and local employees still in unions. But an increasingly loud chorus of governors and state legislators may change that.

Their argument is tied to the need for more and better jobs, but they blame public sector unions for jeopardizing that.

federal government, which spent $9.8 billion nationwide on the program in the 2009 fiscal year.

Under city rules, elementary and middle school students who are behind on payments but come to school without their own lunches must be fed the same meal as everyone else. High schools are not required to feed such students. Breakfast, also subsidized by the federal government, is free for everyone who shows up.

WASHINGTON — Teachers unions find themselves on the defensive in states across the country, as governors and lawmakers press forward with proposals to target job protections and benefits that elected officials contend the public can no longer afford academically or financially.

Many of those efforts are being driven by newly elected Republicans, who have traditionally drawn political opposition from teachers’ organizations — and did in last year’s midterm elections — but who made historic gains in those state contests.

The GOP now controls more state legislative seats than it has in more than 80 years, and it has the majority in both lawmaking chambers in 25 states. In addition, Republicans emerged from November’s races with control of 29 governor’s offices, erasing “I don’t think Democrats’ previous there’s any doubt majority in state exthat what they ecutive branches.

Many officeholders want to do is are calling for new attempts to change how silence us, and I teachers are paid and think that’s what evaluated, and for reductions in tenure you see going protections, efforts on around the that were also pursued country. There’s in several states last year, which have often an organized drawn skeptical re- movement to sponses from unions.

State leaders are also hamper the voice vowing to cut spend- of what unions ing and close budget shortfalls, and many do in public governors and law- education.” makers see reductions in state-funded pen- — David Stout, sion systems for teach- spokesman, Alabama ers as a part of that.

Education Association Union leaders say the environment has made it more politically attractive for some lawmakers to castigate labor groups rather than seek compromises with them.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that what they want to do is silence us, and I think that’s what you see going on around the country,” said David Stout, a spokesman for the Alabama Education Association, an affiliate of the National Education Association. “There’s an organized movement to hamper the voice of what unions do in public education.”

His 105,000-member organization was unsuccessful in fighting recent state legislation that forbids the state or local governments from allowing public employees’ automatic paycheck withdrawals to support organizations’ political activities or membership dues of organizations that engage in political activity.

A top aide to Alabama Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh, a Republican, disputed the AEA’s assertion that the measure was meant to target that organization, saying it was designed to ensure that state resources are not used for political activity.

“The playing field has leveled a bit,” said Philip Bryan, the chief of staff to the senator. “We’re going to put forward responsible legislation that is in the best interest of taxpayers, and not necessarily in the best interest of special interest groups.”

Economy’s impact

Unions powerful political players

Principals say economic troubles have forced parents into delinquency, but some also say that there are many children, often in families of recent immigrants, who would qualify for free lunch but have not filled out the required eligibility forms. The Department of Education has tried to encourage parents to complete the forms, even offering prizes, including a trip for two to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, paid for by the New York Jets.

One middle school in the Bronx threatened to keep back students’ graduation rings unless their parents settled their accounts. On the website of the Robert H. Goddard Junior High School in Queens, above the announcements on upcoming state exams, attendance requirements for graduation and uniform policies there is the message, “If you owe a lunch balance, you are required to pay for it.”

At Public School 312 in Brooklyn, the principal, Linda Beal-Benigno, said she had worked hard to persuade many parents who were in arrears to pack lunches for their children, to avoid increasing the debts they already had, but the strategy had not worked as well as she had hoped.

“Numerous children throw out the lunches they bring from home on the days we serve pizza and end up eating in the school anyway,” Beal-Benigno said.

Nearly half of all schools that owed money from September until November owed between $1,000 and $10,000.

Lisa said that he and his colleagues had been forced into an awkward role: They must get parents to pay for the lunches or risk having the school pay for the meals. “It’s the same as if I were the manager at Target and told the customers, ‘Please, don’t take our merchandise without paying for it; however, if you do it, we won’t stop you.’”

Teachers unions have long been major players in elections at the state level, where much of K-12 policy is shaped and where legislatures wield significant control over state pension and benefits systems.

The 3.2 million-member NEA was the largest single provider of political cash at the state and federal levels during the 2007-08 election cycle, according to data provided by the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in State Politics. During that period, the NEA made a combined $56.5 million in federal and state contributions, with the overwhelming majority flowing to state-level candidates, political parties and ballot measures.

And during the 2010 election cycle, the vast majority of the money the NEA and the 1.5 millionmember American Federation of Teachers spent on individual state candidates went to Democrats, according to data from the institute.

Yet in recent years, other political and advocacy organizations focused on education have taken, or plan to play, a role in state capitals where unions have traditionally wielded power.

One such organization is StudentsFirst, an organization launched last year by former District of Columbia schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, a frequent critic of teachers unions. Rhee has said her group will support local, state and federal candidates who take bold steps to improve teacher quality.

Unions have also voiced concerns about state efforts to cut teachers’ state pensions and other benefits, which some governors and lawmakers believe are too generous and consume too much of state budgets.

AFT President Randi Weingarten said the union’s affiliates have a history of productive negotiations with state officials on reducing pensions and benefit costs, and on teacher-quality issues, too. But she said some of the rhetoric coming from statehouses seems aimed at “scapegoating and demonizing” teachers.

Too many elected officials and advocacy groups act as though “they want a war” with unions, Weingarten said. “The moment someone says, ‘I’m going to get you out of the picture,’ it’s not about helping kids.”

Students are served lunch at Intermediate School 61 in the Queens borough of New York. Of the city’s 1,600 schools, 1,043 owe a collective $2.5 million to the Education Department for meals served in the first three months of this school year, which has led the school’s principal, Joseph Lisa, on a quest to try to collect money from parents that don’t pay what they are supposed to.

N.Y. schools left with lunch bills

By Fernanda Santos New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Of the 2,200 students at Intermediate School 61 in Queens, 86 percent receive free cafeteria lunches.

Some others pay a reduced price, and some are supposed to pay full price.

But not all of their parents pay what they are supposed to, and recently, the school’s principal, Joseph Lisa, has been spending a lot of time trying to collect money from them.

He has cornered them in the hallways. He has offered them gentle reminders after school meetings. He has called them and sent them letters suggesting payment plans for debts that might amount to $20 or $30.

“We give them little pieces of paper saying, ‘This week you owe $5, $3, 50 cents,’” Lisa said, “but as soon as we collect it from one parent, there’s another who’s falling behind.”

The city used to pick up the unpaid tabs. Since 2004, it has absorbed at least $42 million in unpaid lunch fees.

But that is a luxury it can no longer afford, according to the Education Department, which has weathered several rounds of budget cuts, with more to come. The department has been telling principals to collect overdue lunch money or risk having it docked from their school budgets.

Of the city’s 1,600 schools, 1,043 owe a collective $2.5 million for meals served in the first three months of this school year. That puts them on track to be $8 million behind by the end of the school year.

New York City’s lunch money problem is costly and complicated, but it is not unique. The economic downturn has school administrators and legislators all over the country scratching for savings even as more parents are falling behind in lunch fees. A September survey by the School Nutrition Association, a professional organization, showed that in 2009-10, 34 percent of school districts saw an increase from the previous school year in the number of meals not paid for.

Hot meals replaced The school district in Albuquerque, N.M. was among several last year to start serving cold sandwiches and milk, instead of full hot meals, to students whose parents had not paid what they owed. In Wake County, N.C., students whose bills have not been paid may eat as many fruits and vegetables as they want, but not the rest of the lunch offerings.

In Louisiana, some districts did not feed the children whose parents were in arrears at all, until, in November, the state Legislature passed a law ordering that they be given at least a snack, while directing districts to notify child welfare authorities if a student got just a snack on more than three consecutive days. Framingham, Mass., hired a constable to hand-deliver notices to parents whose bills were still unpaid after the schools had sent them several letters alerting them to their debt.

“We’re in the business of feeding kids, so it’s heart-wrenching to all of us to have to get parents to pay this way,” said Brendan Ryan, director of food services at Framingham Public Schools.

In New York City, the Department of Education warned principals in the spring that they would have to collect the money, but after principals protested, they were given a grace period.

A cafeteria worker checks whether students have enough in their accounts to cover the cost of lunch, or they must pay cash, at Intermediate School 61 in the Queens borough of New York.

“We give them little pieces of paper saying, ‘This week you owe $5, $3, 50 cents — but as soon as we collect it from one parent, there’s another who’s falling behind.”

— Joseph Lisa, principal, Intermediate School 61 in Queens

In January, the new schools chancellor, Cathleen Black, told principals that they had until Feb. 16. Principals were asked to identify lines in their budgets where the money could be taken from if they could not meet the deadline.

On Monday, after vociferous complaints from principals, the Education Department once again put off the deadline, though it was unclear for how long. In a statement, Natalie Ravitz, a spokeswoman for the department, said, “We really need families to cooperate with us in this effort so that we aren’t taking money out of the classroom.”

But some principals said that was exactly what would happen unless the city came up with an alternative, which seems unlikely. “The school has become the collection agency, and that’s not their business,” said Randi Herman, the first vice president of the city’s principals’ union.

The issue came up during a City Council committee hearing Tuesday, where Councilman Robert Jackson, chairman of the education committee, said that deducting unpaid lunch fees would deal “a serious blow to already overstretched school budgets.”

75 percent qualify New York City charges $1.50 for a school lunch, like beef ravioli, roasted turkey breast with gravy or Italian meatballs. Three quarters of the city’s students qualify for free lunch, or lunch at a reduced price of 25 cents; even some of the students charged the reduced price have fallen behind.

Students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches if their family incomes fall below the levels set by the federal government: For free lunches, the cutoff is $28,665 for a family of four; for reduced-price lunches, it is $40,793.

T S NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA

Talks end abruptly; future of 6-nation meetings uncertain

By Mark Mcdonald New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — Military discussions between North and South Korea ended suddenly Wednesday with no improvement in the countries’ strained relations and no agreement about whether to hold more substantive talks.

The failure of the talks is likely to create more uncertainty about the resumption of the six-nation talks about the North’s nuclear programs.

North Korea, China and Russia have pressed for a prompt resumption of that process, which broke down in April 2009 when North Korea withdrew from the talks and expelled U.N. nuclear inspectors.

South Korea, the United States and Japan — alarmed at the North’s revelations about its expanded uranium enrichment program — have rejected the idea of new six-nation talks until substantive inter-Korean discussions are held.

A Defense Ministry official in Seoul said the talks Wednesday ended at 2:30 p.m. when the North Korean delegation “unilaterally walked away from the table and out of the meeting room.”

Another military official said the North Korean delegation had repeatedly refused to apologize for an artillery barrage against a South Korean island in November and a torpedo attack in March that sank a South Korean warship and killed 46 sailors. The North has

said the artillery exchange was provoked by the South and that it was not involved in the sinking of the ship.

The talks were the first inter-Korean dialogue since the shelling of the island. Two South Korean marines and two civilians were killed in the attack, and public anger in the South has served to reinforce President Lee Myung-bak’s hard-line policy toward the North.

The aim of the talks, which were described by government officials as low-level and preliminary, was to make arrangements for substantive highlevel military discussions. But the two sides “failed to narrow the differences over the agenda for a high-level meeting,” said Kim Min-seok, a spokesman for the South Korean Defense Ministry.

The two delegations, led by army colonels, began their meeting Tuesday at the border village of Panmunjom. When the meeting ran long, the North asked for another session Wednesday.

The failure to reach an agreement on future talks also scuttled the immediate prospects for cross-border reunions between family members separated by the Korean War. Responding to a request by the North about a new round of reunions, an official with the Unification Ministry in Seoul said Wednesday that talks about family gatherings would be held only after “high-level military talks are conducted.”

Protesters in Egypt regain initiative as workers strike

By Kareem Fahim and David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

CAIRO — Labor strikes and worker protests that flared across Egypt on Wednesday affected post offices, textile factories and even the government’s flagship newspaper, providing a burst of momentum to protesters demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, even as his government pushed back with greater force against the opponents’ demands.

The protests at the newspaper, Al Ahram, by freelance reporters demanding better wages and more independence from the government, snarled one of the state’s most powerful propaganda tools and seemed to be forcing a change in its tone. On Wednesday, the front page, which had sought for days to downplay the protests, called recent attacks by pro-Mubarak protesters on Tahrir Square an “offense to the whole nation.”

In the face of the unrest, the country’s foreign minister delivered stern warnings that seemed to reflect the government’s growing impatience with the protests.

The country’s foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, dismissed calls by Egyptian protesters and Vice President Joe Biden to scrap the country’s emergency laws, which allow the authorities to detain people without charge.

“We have 17,000 prisoners loose in the streets out of jails that have been destroyed,” Aboul Gheit said during an interview with the NewsHour on PBS. “How can you ask me to sort of disband that emergency law while I’m in that difficulty?”

The remarks about Biden reflected the complicated relationship between Mubarak’s govern-

WORKERS STRIKE IN GREECE

Antiquities Chief Zahi Hawass addresses Egyptian museum workers as they stage a protest outside the Supreme Council of Antiquities in the upscale neighborhood of Zamalek in Cairo on Wednesday. In an indication of state employee unrest, the museum workers demanded higher wages and criticized the practices of former Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni. ment and the Obama administration, which had urged swift steps toward a political transition but then endorsed Mubarak’s remaining until the end of his term later this year. Since then, Biden has suggested that the U.S. still expects some immediate changes to be made.

On Wednesday, the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, responded to the Egyptian government’s claims that such changes were premature, saying, “What you see happening on the streets of Cairo is not all that surprising when you see the lack of steps that their government has taken to meet their concerns.”

That attempt to put some distance between the United States and Mubarak, though, was unlikely to impress the protesters, who say that the Obama admin-

istration, by continuing to back the president, also ignores their concerns.

By nightfall Wednesday, more than 1,000 protesters prepared to sleep outside the Parliament building for a second night, a symbolic move that showed the opposition’s growing confidence as the protesters expanded the scope of their activism beyond Tahrir Square.

Reports from around the country, of vigorous and sometimes violent protests, also suggested a movement regaining steam.

Security officials said that five people died and more than

100 were injured during protests Tuesday in El Kharga, 375 miles south of Cairo. Protesters responded Wednesday by burning police stations and other government buildings.

In Asyut, protesters blocked a railway line. Television images showed crowds gathering again in Alexandria, Egypt’s secondlargest city.

Even protests that were not directly against Mubarak centered on the types of government neglect that have driven the call for him to leave power.

Protesters in Port Said, a city of 600,000 at the mouth of the Suez Canal, set fire to a government building, saying that local officials had ignored their requests for better housing.

The deaths of the protesters were a reminder of the country’s still-unsettled security picture, as army soldiers continue to patrol Egyptian cities while increasing numbers of police officers return to duty.

On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch reported that since Jan. 28, when the army took up positions in Egyptian cities, its officers and military police had arbitrarily detained at least 119 people. In at least five cases, the group said, detainees said they were tortured.

Rep. Chris Lee resigns after reports of flirtation with woman on Craigslist

By David A. Fahrenthold and Aaron Blake The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Rep. Chris Lee of New York abruptly resigned Wednesday evening, hours after a gossip website reported that the married Republican had allegedly sent flirtatious e-mail messages and a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met online.

Lee experienced his fall from grace in a single afternoon, undone at the speed of the digital age. At lunchtime Wednesday, he was an obscure but promising second-term congressman.

Then, at 2:33 p.m., Gawker.com posted an alleged e-mail exchange between a man who used

Lee’s name — but identified himself as a divorced lobbyist — and an unidentified woman.

Gawker reported that the Rep. Chris two had met Lee, R-N.Y. through the personals section of Craigslist.

After that, the familiar cycles of a Washington sex scandal were compressed into a blur of tweets and news alerts. There was confusion, a hint of denial, then a pledge from Lee to “work it out” with his wife.

By 6 p.m., a clerk was an-

nouncing Lee’s resignation in the House chamber.

“I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents,” Lee said in a statement. “I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all.

I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness.”

Lee’s statement did not confirm or deny any specific allegations from the Gawker report.

Lee, 46, elected from a district in western New York, was just beginning his second term in Congress.

He had been a successful businessman and was known as an up-and-coming Republican voice on financial issues.

Surgery in the womb benefits Companies race to be spina bifida cases, study says the Facebook of China

By Pam Belluck New York Times News Service

For years, surgeons have been trying to find ways of operating on babies in the womb, reasoning that medical abnormalities might be more easily fixed while a fetus is still developing. But with tremendous risks to babies and mothers, and a mixed record of success, fetal surgery is mostly used when babies are likely to die otherwise.

Now, for the first time, a rigorous clinical trial shows fetal surgery can help babies with a condition that is not life-threatening. Babies with a form of spina bifida, a debilitating spinal abnormality, were more likely to

Officer Continued from A1 Tarbet said Prince’s reassignment was the result of an administrative reorganization and predates the discovery of discrepancies at the armory.

As manager of the armory, Prince would not have been responsible for past audits and inventories, Tarbet said. In a written statement issued Wednesday, Tarbet said the investigation has already prompted changes in the department’s inventory management to avoid similar issues in the future.

Acknowledging that Prince’s arrest may hurt the reputation of his department, Tarbet asked the community for support and understanding in his written statement.

“The Redmond Police Department staff and officers are hardworking, honest, and ethical men and women whose intentions are to serve the citizens of this community,” he wrote. “I am very

Treasurer Continued from A1 Sheriff Jim Adkins also addressed the commissioners, saying, “Mistakes were made on both sides,” but said procedures have improved on both ends.

And as for the investments?

“I never admitted I made mistakes,” Goss said. “I discovered errors and brought the county into compliance.”

Goss acknowledged she was made the investments in corporate debt — at the advice of a broker used by the county — but also insisted she was the one who discovered the violations, reported them and sold the investments to come into compliance.

“I trusted the investment professional ... who I inherited when I took over,” Goss said. “The bottom line is, the county was not harmed.”

County made gains Goss said the bulk of the investments in question made money despite violating policy.

A review of the county investment portfolio by county staff found that to be true.

Thirty-two investments worth $20.2 million were put in corporate notes that are prohibited by county policy and violated state limits on the amount allowed.

When sold by Goss in January, 24 of the investments sold for gains of $226,897.27, while eight of the investments sold for losses of $41,618.41.

Commission Chairman Mike Ahern said he had considered the fact that the county made money, but was still upset by the situation.

“I thought of (the gains), too,” Ahern said, “But it’s not really relevant. You didn’t follow the policy.”

Ahern also said he appreciated the discussion between Goss and Adkins about how money from the inmate account went missing.

Jefferson County Administrative Officer Jeff Rasmussen said commissioners did not sign the letter, but will have another

walk and experience fewer neurological problems if operated on before being born rather than afterward.

The $22.5 million study, long awaited by experts and published online Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine, is likely to galvanize interest in trying to address problems before birth, including operating on serious heart defects and bladder blockages, and potentially using fetal bone marrow or stem cell transplants for sickle cell anemia and immune disorders.

As technology increasingly allows doctors to diagnose problems in a developing fetus, the study underscores remaining

risks and hurdles, including developing less-invasive techniques to avoid creating other problems for babies or mothers.

The spina bifida procedure was considered beneficial enough that an independent safety monitoring board stopped the study early so babies scheduled to receive surgery after birth could have access to prenatal surgery.

But there were medical downsides for the women and infants: greater likelihood of being born several weeks earlier than the postnatal group, related breathing problems, and thinning or tearing at women’s surgical incisions, requiring Caesarean sections for later births.

proud of my staff and have never worked with a finer team of law enforcement professionals.”

Tarbet said he could not go into detail about the stolen items, or about the time frame the thefts are believed to have taken place.

The investigation is still open, Tarbet said, but at this point Prince is believed to be the only person involved.

ceived a notice of foreclosure on a $541,000 mortgage on a home they own in Redmond. Records indicate the couple has not made a mortgage payment since May 2010, resulting in a total delinquency of nearly $26,000. The couple also owes more than $5,000 in back property taxes on the Redmond home in foreclosure. In April 2008, they took out a $125,000 home equity line of credit on the home.

Shelley Prince filed for divorce from Larry Prince in November. Contacted by phone, Shelley Prince declined to comment for this story.

The Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office issued a brief statement about the investigation Wednesday, commending the integrity of the Redmond Police Department for bringing the discovery of potential misconduct to the attention of investigators.

Financial difficulties Redmond human resources director Sharon Harris said Prince receives full pay while on administrative leave. Harris declined to identify his precise level of compensation, but said the range for a lieutenant is between $5,515 and $6,779 per month. Prince’s wife, Shelley Prince, is herself a police officer with the Redmond department, earning between $4,032 and $5,404 per month, Harris said.

County records suggest some financial difficulties in recent months for the Princes.

In November, the couple re-

meeting with Goss to further discuss the issues on Feb. 23. At that time, commissioners plan to decide whether to take disciplinary action.

Goss made it clear she would not step down willingly.

“I’m not going to resign,” Goss told commissioners. “I’ve done nothing wrong.”

After the meeting, Goss produced paperwork and e-mails showing she made efforts to correct problems she found in the money transfer process between the jail and her office a year ago.

A memo from Goss to Adkins from Feb. 22, 2010, shows Goss went to the jail Feb. 18, 2010, to review the money handling process.

County policy regarding transfers Goss said she requested the meeting after December 2009 when deposits were made to her office in “two large amounts,” not according to county policy.

Policy directs that cash collected from inmates when they enter the jail be kept at the jail until it exceeds $100, according to the memo. The money is then delivered to the Treasurer’s Office, where it is deposited into a personal account at a bank. Inmates can access their accounts to purchase commissary items.

In the memo, Goss also recommends the county begin using locked or sealed bags to transfer the money, rather than “zip lock bags.”

“There are so many hands on that money,” Goss said of the process for delivering the cash to her department. “Someone collects it, someone else counts it, someone else delivers it. That is why I planned those meetings last year in the first place.”

The discovery that money had gone missing over a three-year period was made last summer after Goss recommended changes to the process of handling money.

Goss said she is checking her records on the account in an attempt to find the missing money.

Goss said using multiple agencies led to the investment

violations, including the county’s investment in corporate debt exceeding the 35 percent limit.

“As of June 30, I was under 35 percent invested in corporate debt,” Goss said. “The auditors checked everything, and they also said it was OK.” Goss said she used a different investment group last winter and invested in additional corporate debt, bringing her above 35 percent.

She said when she discovered the problem in January 2010, she took the steps to report the errors and sell the investments.

She also said county investment policy doesn’t specifically prohibit investment in corporate debt, so she followed state law.

“I feel good about what I did,” Goss said. “I stand behind my decision to come into compliance.”

Goss was on medical leave for a stress-related ailment the week after reporting the violations to commissioners. She said she was not avoiding questions.

Goss said she hopes the Feb. 23 meeting with the commissioners will outline a plan of action.

She intends to ask for a deputy treasurer position to be added to assist with tasks, and a software upgrade to her bookkeeping systems. Goss said she is open to discussion of hiring an investment adviser.

Add corporate debt investment to policy She also wants to see corporate debt investments added to the county investment policy.

“Those investments made money,” Goss said. “I think revising the policy to allow investments in corporate debt would be a good step.”

Ahern said he hopes that meeting will resolve the issue, which he called “a black eye for the entire county.”

“My only commitment now is to come to a resolution in two weeks from now,” Ahern said.

“We have to move forward for everyone’s sake.”

HONG KONG — The top social-networking service in the world’s biggest Internet market was created by graduates of a prestigious university to help students communicate with one another. And it’s not Facebook.

Renren.com leads China’s surging social-networking market with more than 160 million registered users, according to Analysys International in Beijing. Competitor Kaixin001.com has more than 93 million. Their edge over billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s service: a government that blocks Facebook access.

“Our service is basically the same as Facebook’s, in terms of functions and features,” said Donna Li, a general manager at Renren. “We are more tailored to the China market.”

With Facebook’s valuation topping $63 billion, Renren and peers may be the next investment opportunities in a market with more Internet users than the combined populations of the United States and Japan. Those sites and competitors Tencent Holdings and Baidu have room to grow as the online advertising market is projected to triple to almost $13 billion by 2014.

Advertisers warming up “Advertisers have really warmed to the new socialnetworking sites very quickly,” said Steven Chang, chief executive officer for China at Zenith Optimedia, the media unit of Publicis Groupe. “A lot of advertisers are willing to do business with the new social-media sites because many of them actually use the services.”

Renren (“everyone” in Chinese) is probably preparing for an initial public offering, said Michael Clendenin, managing director at consultants

Gun bill Continued from A1 The paper said it did not plan to publish names of the license holders, but was motivated by a lawsuit filed by a Medford teacher who wanted to bring her gun to school.

Last June, the court ruled that the records must be released.

Several concealed license holders told lawmakers that the ruling made them fear for their safety if their information could be public. And Kevin Starrett of the Oregon Firearms Federation testified that gun owners face discrimination in several professions and industries.

Penny Okamoto, executive director of the gun-control group Ceasefire Oregon,

“Our service is basically the same as Facebook’s, in terms of functions and features.

We are more tailored to the China market.”

— Donna Li, general manager, Renren RedTech Advisers in Shanghai.

The site’s biggest investor is Japan’s Softbank. Kaixin001.com, founded by former Sina Corp. executive Cheng Binghao, also is seeking a listing, Clendenin said.

Online advertising in China likely totaled $3.9 billion last year and may climb more than 30 percent annually to $12.9 billion by 2014, Susquehanna International Group estimated in December. The portion spent on social networking likely will double to 24 percent that year from 12 percent in 2010, it said.

Facebook, Twitter banned since 2009 China’s social-networking sites haven’t competed against international websites since 2009, when the government banned access to Facebook and Twitter. Internet users can circumvent the firewall through means such as AnchorFree’s virtual private network service that assign an anonymous address traceable back only to the company and not the user. Using VPNs results in slower Internet connections.

Zuckerberg, 26, visited Baidu and Sina offices in December, fueling speculation Facebook is seeking increased access in China. Facebook may “potentially” win advertising sales from Chinese companies, Jayne Leung, head of the company’s sales operations in Hong Kong, said Tuesday.

Facebook, which claims more than 500 million users worldwide, is valued at $63.7 billion,

testified in opposition, calling the bill an “end run” around the Court of Appeals ruling. “Oregonians have a right to know if the state has provided a privilege of concealment to a coworker, a neighbor or someone who will be working with their families,” she said.

Tom Gallagher, a lobbyist for the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, testified that his group had no position on the bill.

The committee did not vote on the legislation, but several members expressed agreement with it. Responding to Okamoto’s “end run” comment, Rep.

according to secondary exchange SharesPost.

Renren’s roots trace back to 2005, when graduates of Tsinghua University in Beijing founded Xiaonei.com, or “inside school.” That was just after Zuckerberg pitched his service to fellow Harvard students.

In 2006, Xiaonei was acquired

by Oak Pacific Interactive, which renamed the service Renren in 2009.

Academic background “Previously, our name spoke of our background in academia.

Now we have a wider appeal,” Li said, noting advertising has more than doubled each year since the site started selling space in 2008.

Renren’s user interface resembles Facebook and carries advertisements for Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz and China Mobile Communications’s phone service. Renren users can post messages and access games, applications and other options.

In 2008, Oak Pacific sold a 35 percent stake to investors including Softbank, the Japanese mobile-phone operator headed by billionaire Masayoshi Son, for $430 million.

Renren aims to increase user numbers through its music, wireless and location-tracking services, Li said, as well as through Nuomi.com, an online commerce affiliate.

Government censors monitor the Internet and block access to content deemed unacceptable.

Facebook users may join groups supporting Tibet independence and Liu Xiaobo, the jailed Chinese dissident awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year, yet no such forums are found on Renren or Kaixin.

Renren plans to take advantage of those restrictions on international rivals, Li said.

“We don’t know when Facebook will enter, and what they’ll do, but we are confident,” Li said. “We want to be the dominant player in social networking.”

Matthew Wand, R-Troutdale, said that there’s no reason why the Legislature can’t change a law if it doesn’t like a court’s interpretation.

The bill has not yet been scheduled for a vote of the committee.

Shale oil Continued from A1 Because oil molecules are sticky and larger than gas molecules, engineers thought the process wouldn’t work to squeeze oil out fast enough to make it economical. But drillers learned how to increase the number of cracks in the rock and use different chemicals to free up oil at low cost.

“We’ve completely transformed the natural gas industry, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we transform the oil business in the next few years too,” says Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy, which is using the technique.

Petroleum engineers first used the method in 2007 to unlock oil from a 25,000-square-mile formation under North Dakota and Montana known as the Bakken.

Production there rose 50 percent in just the past year, to 458,000 barrels a day, according to Bentek Energy, an energy analysis firm.

It was first thought that the Bakken was unique. Then drillers tapped oil in a shale formation under South Texas called the Eagle Ford. Drilling permits in the region grew 11-fold last year.

Now newer fields are showing promise, including the Niobrara, which stretches under Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas; the Leonard, in New Mexico and Texas; and the Monterey, in California.

“It’s only been fleshed out over the last 12 months just how consequential this can be,” says Mark Papa, chief executive of EOG Resources, the company that first used horizontal drilling to tap shale oil. “And there will be several additional plays that will come about in the next 12 to 18 months. We’re not done yet.”

Environmental fears Environmentalists fear that fluids or wastewater from the process, called hydraulic fracturing, could pollute drinking water supplies. The Environmental Protection Agency is now studying the safety of shale drilling.

The agency studied use of the process in shallower drilling operations in 2004 and found that it

dependent on high oil prices.

Papa says this oil is cheaper to tap than the oil in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico or in Canada’s oil sands.

Won’t affect prices

Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon is seen in his Oklahoma City office. Domestic production of oil is rising for the first time in two decades thanks to new drilling techniques that are opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil.

“We’ve completely transformed the natural gas industry, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we transform the oil business in the next few years too.”

— Aubrey McClendon, chief executive, Chesapeake Energy was safe.

In the Bakken formation, production is rising so fast there is no space in pipelines to bring the oil to market. Instead, it is being transported to refineries by rail and truck. Drilling companies have had to erect camps to house workers.

Unemployment in North Dakota has fallen to the lowest level in the nation, 3.8 percent — less than half the national rate of 9 percent. The influx of mostly male workers to the region has left local men lamenting a lack of women. Convenience stores are struggling to keep shelves stocked with food.

The Bakken and the Eagle Ford are each expected to ultimately produce 4 billion barrels of oil. That would make them the fifth- and sixth-biggest oil fields ever discovered in the United States. The top four are Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, Spraberry Trend in West Texas, the East Texas

Oilfield and the Kuparuk Field in Alaska.

The fields are attracting billions of dollars of investment from foreign oil giants like Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Norway’s Statoil, and also from the smaller U.S. drillers who developed the new techniques like Chesapeake, EOG Resources and Occidental Petroleum.

Chinese investors Last month, China’s stateowned oil company CNOOC agreed to pay Chesapeake $570 million for a one-third stake in a drilling project in the Niobrara.

This followed a $1 billion deal in October between the two companies on a project in the Eagle Ford.

With oil prices high and natural-gas prices low, profit margins from producing oil from shale are much higher than for gas.

Also, drilling for shale oil is not

The country’s shale oil resources aren’t nearly as big as the country’s shale gas resources. Drillers have unlocked decades’ worth of natural gas, an abundance of supply that may keep prices low for years. U.S. shale oil on the other hand will only supply one to two percent of world consumption by 2015, not nearly enough to affect prices.

Still, a surge in production last year from the Bakken helped U.S. oil production grow for the second year in a row, after 23 years of decline.

This during a year when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation’s biggest oil-producing region, was halted after the BP oil spill.

U.S. oil production climbed through most of the last century and reached a peak of 9.6 million barrels per day in 1970.

The decline since was slowed by new production in Alaska in the 1980s and in the Gulf of Mexico more recently. But by 2008, production had fallen to 5 million barrels per day.

Within five years, analysts and executives predict, the newly unlocked fields are expected to produce 1 million to 2 million barrels of oil per day, enough to boost U.S. production 20 percent to 40 percent.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates production will grow a more modest 500,000 barrels per day.

By 2020, oil imports could be slashed by as much as 60 percent, according to Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Credit Suisse, who is counting on Gulf oil production to rise and on U.S. gasoline demand to fall.

At today’s oil prices of roughly $90 per barrel, slashing imports that much would save the U.S. $175 billion a year. Last year, when oil averaged $78 per barrel, the U.S. sent $260 billion overseas for crude, accounting for nearly half the country’s $500 billion trade deficit.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, February 10, 2011 A5

Unions Continued from A1 Reflecting on the downward trend, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said the current weak job market underscores the need for unions.

“As workers across the country continue to face lower wages and difficulty finding work due to the recent recession, these numbers demonstrate the pressing need to provide workers with a voice in the workplace and protect their right to organize and bargain collectively,” Solis said.

Local lawmakers argue that state collective bargaining laws have enabled public sector unions to artificially inflate the cost of government and suck jobs from the private sector by forcing businesses to pay higher taxes. To get the economy back on track, they say, these laws have to be modified or dismantled. This kind of thinking is sparking heated debate both in heavily unionized states, such as New York and Ohio, and in states where unions have fewer members and less clout, such as Nebraska and South Dakota.

The starting point for this debate varies dramatically by state.

New York, for example, has the highest union membership rate among state and local workers, at 70.5 percent, and laws that guarantee unions the power to negotiate over everything from raises to pensions. Mississippi has the lowest unionization rate, at 7.4 percent, and lacks any collective bargaining rights for state workers or incentives for membership.

Lobbying the legislature for concessions is the only tool available, and Brenda Scott, the president of the state’s largest union representing public workers, says those efforts usually fall on deaf ears.

“People around here hear the word ‘union,’ and they say, ‘What do you mean? Credit union?’ No one even knows what a union is.”

Political suicide?

Not so in New York. When New York Assemblyman Robert Castelli announced his intention to reform the state’s labor laws last year, friends on both sides of the aisle warned of political suicide since the unions are a force to be reckoned with in state politics.

Still, the Republican sponsored a

bill last year to repeal the Triborough Amendment, which guarantees union workers scheduled raises and other benefits, even during an impasse.

“It’s been talked about for years but no one had the nerve to propose it,” he says. “It’s like proposing in an open forum to dethrone the king.”

Scales are tipped Castelli and some business groups argue that the Triborough Amendment has dramatically increased the cost of government over the years by providing a disincentive for unions to compromise. It was installed in 1982 to counterbalance a new ban on public employee strikes, Castelli says, but the collective bargaining process has evolved in such a way that the scales now tilt too far in favor of public employees.

Castelli’s bill died a quick death in committee with only four colleagues signing on, but this year may be a different story. Both parties are supporting pension reform, but that depends on union support or state labor law changes, because pensions are negotiated under New York state labor laws.

Union leaders may be willing to come around to some concessions as a way to salvage the up to 15,000 positions that Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has indicated might be on the chopping block. And one of Cuomo’s top advisers has signaled that the governor may soon call for freezing or repealing the Triborough Amendment.

“We took that as some of the most encouraging news to come out of Albany in a decade,” says Liz Feld, president of New Yorkers for Growth, a business group that is pushing for the repeal.

The new governors of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin — all Republicans with Democratic predecessors — are gearing up for heated showdowns with unions in their states. A Stateline analysis of the new Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that these three Midwestern states have among the most heavily unionized public sector work forces in the country.

There already have been a few early battles — in what are likely to become protracted wars — between these new administrations and public worker unions.

GOP wants deep cuts Webb’s decision creates before raising limits possible pickup for GOP

By Lisa Mascaro

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders are prepared to take the politically unpopular step of raising the nation’s debt limit this spring — if the price is right.

Their strategy is to extract steep spending cuts in exchange for acquiescing to the Obama administration’s request to increase the debt ceiling beyond its $14.29 trillion limit.

The showdown, which will play out over the next several weeks, is a gamble for Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, as he leads his emboldened but philosophically divided House majority amid Democratic criticism that Republicans are courting economic catastrophe.

Such a compromise may be shunned, even excoriated, by conservatives and tea party-inspired lawmakers hesitant to break campaign promises to reduce the debt. They remain reluctant despite GOP advisers’ quiet counsel that refusing to raise the limit risks a national financial crisis.

Already, the House’s conservative wing has dismissed as inadequate the Republican leadership’s proposed spending reductions for the remainder of the fiscal year. Conservatives insist that $100 billion in cuts promised on the campaign trail must be made in the plan coming up for a vote this month, even though the fiscal year is nearly half over.

By holding the debt ceiling hostage to spending reductions, Boehner may be able to achieve an approximation of the GOP’s preferred A N A budget cuts that he could not otherwise deliver in a divided Congress.

Democrats, who control the Senate, have dismissed the GOP’s call for steep reductions in the annual $3.7 trillion budget, citing economists’ concerns that sudden austerity measures could imperil the fragile recovery.

But Democrats are likely to agree on some cuts given the political reality of a Republican-led House. They also see the chance to burnish their voting records on fiscal prudence amid public pressure to rein in government spending. On Monday, a leader of the conservative “blue dog”

Republicans sharpen chopping knives WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders unveiled a dramatic list of cuts Wednesday for the remainder of fiscal 2011 — snaring a wide swath of programs and grants, including law enforcement, NASA and welfare — as they prepare to uphold their campaign pledge to rein in domestic spending.

In presenting the outline, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., the chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee, said the list was just a preview of the broader package of spending reductions his committee is preparing for release today, in advance of next week’s floor debate and vote.

GOP leaders have promised $74 billion in immediate cuts for the remainder of this fiscal year to President Barack Obama’s 2011 budget, which was proposed but never enacted. The reductions fall short of the $100 billion in cuts Republicans campaigned for last fall, creating division within GOP ranks over how far the Republican-led House should

Democrats in the House, Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas, said he “would not even consider” raising the debt limit unless it was tied to spending cuts.

The task facing Boehner and the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, will be to convince L Y S I S enough lawmakers that the cuts they extract are worth the tough vote to raise the debt ceiling.

“The American people will not tolerate our increasing the debt limit without serious reductions,” Boehner said recently. “If the president’s going to ask us to increase the debt limit, then he’s going to have to be willing to cut up the credit cards.”

For decades, Congress has agreed to raise the debt ceiling when federal spending outpaces the limit, albeit not without recriminations. To upend the practice would leave the Treasury Department unable to pay its

push for steeper cuts this year.

Furthermore, because the president’s 2011 proposal was never enacted, the cuts being proposed by the GOP will be taken off current spending levels and amount to about $35 billion.

The cuts represent substantial hits to programs across the federal government and target Democratic priorities by slashing funds to the Environmental Protection Agency, a community policing grant program initiated under the Clinton administration and arts funds.

The cuts reach into venerable institutions such as the FBI and the National Institutes of Health, and will likely result in cutbacks that hit virtually every congressional district.

Such cuts are unlikely to be approved by the Senate, creating a showdown as Congress faces a March 4 deadline to fund the federal government as the current spending plan expires.

debt service and obligations — including paychecks for troops and federal workers.

The Treasury estimated last week that outlays could surpass the current debt limit by April or May, although the actual date is a moving target dependent on the economy and other factors.

The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, warned last week that the debt limit is not “something you want to play around with.”

“I would very much urge Congress to — not to focus on the debt limit as being the bargaining chip in this discussion,” Bernanke said.

Although the U.S. has the ability to delay defaulting on its debts by adjusting how it pays its accounts, those measures would be temporary. Economists say default would send interest rates soaring for ordinary Americans and cut off access to capital, upending the markets in a scenario similar to the crisis of 2008.

Dozens of Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi supporters wave Italian flags in a demonstration across the street from the Milan courthouse entrance in Milan on Wednesday. Italian prosecutors on Wednesday requested that Premier Silvio Berlusconi stand trial over accusations he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl, then used his influence to try to cover it up.

Immediate trial sought for Berlusconi

By Rachel Donadio New York Times News Service

ROME — Prosecutors filed a request Wednesday for an immediate trial of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on criminal charges related to prostitution and abuse of office, in the most serious challenge yet to his leadership amid a sex scandal that has riveted Italy.

Edmondo Bruti Liberati, a Milan prosecutor, said Wednesday that his office had enough evidence to ask a judge to waive preliminary hearings and call for a trial of Berlusconi on charges he paid for sex with a 17-year old and abused his office by calling the police to intervene on her behalf after she was detained for petty theft in May. At a news conference on Wednesday to present an economic plan to revive Italy’s stag-

nant economy, a defiant Berlusconi called the charges “groundless” and accused p r o s e c u to r s of having “ s u b v e r s i v e Silvio aims,” adding: Berlusconi “Someone will have to pay for this.”

“I’m sorry that these things have offended the dignity of our country, have slung mud on our country and on our government and on me personally, internationally,” he said, referring to the allegations.

A judge is expected to decide as early as next week whether to begin a trial. If Berlusconi is charged, he is not obligated to appear in court, but he could

choose to do so.

Over the years, Berlusconi has emerged relatively unscathed from dozens of legal problems, including one in which his former tax lawyer was convicted of taking a bribe in exchange for false testimony. While the sex scandal has played out vividly in the Italian news media and led to street protests over the prime minister’s behavior, it has not brought down his government.

That is largely because the center-left is weak and his ruling center-right coalition has so far stood by him.

Still, analysts are not ruling out early elections if the battle between the executive and judiciary causes the government to stop functioning, or if the most powerful party in the centerright coalition decides to displace Berlusconi.

The open seats in Virginia and North Dakota — when coupled with the fact that there are 23 Democratic seats up this cycle as compared to just 10 for Republicans — paint a stark portrait of the challenge before Democrats to hold their majority next November.

For Democrats hoping to hold that majority, Virginia is likely to emerge as a linchpin.

announcement, one Democratic source suggested that Kaine’s disinterest was out of respect to the incumbent.

Kaine is not expected to say anything on his interest (or lack thereof) today. Several informed Democratic sources suggested, however, that Kaine would likely only run if President Obama himself asked him to do so. It’s not clear whether Obama would do that although he and Kaine do have a long and close relationship. (Kaine was the first major elected official to support Obama’s presidential bid.)

If Kaine sticks to his “no,” then Democrats will likely turn to former Rep. Tom Perriello who held the Southside 5th district for a single term before losing it last fall. Despite his brief tenure in the House, Perriello emerged as a favorite of the White House thanks to his willingness to vote for things like health care and the economic stimulus package despite the swing nature of his district. (That closeness to the White House, of course, would likely be exploited by Republicans in a general election.)

Tire Factory reports sales growth in 2010

Ski area now starts process of clearing environmental hurdles

For a complete listing of stocks, including mutual funds, see Pages B2-3

Tire Factory, whose 200plus locations include three in Central Oregon, on Wednesday announced record comparable-store sales growth in 2010. Comparable-store units increased more than 20 percent and member purchases rose more than 15 percent in 2010, according to a Tire Factory news release. Comparable-store sales and units are of those stores that have been a member of Tire Factory for at least one year.

Tire Factory is a memberowned organization of independent tire dealers. Members operate more than 200 retail locations serving 15 Western states with consumer sales in excess of $300 million. Tire Factory serves its members from two regional distribution centers in Portland and Salt Lake City.

Number underwater jumps in 4th quarter NEW YORK — The number of homes worth less than their outstanding mortgage jumped in the fourth quarter as prices fell and lenders seized fewer properties from delinquent borrowers, according to Zillow Inc. About 15.7 million homeowners had negative equity, also known as being underwater, at the end of the year, up from 13.9 million in the previous three months, the Seattlebased real estate information company said in a report Wednesday. The total represented 27 percent of mortgaged single-family homes, the highest in Zillow data dating to the first quarter of 2009.

Home prices are declining as foreclosed properties sell at discounts and unemployment at 9 percent limits buyer demand. Values will fall as much as 5 percent this year, putting more homeowners underwater, before finding a floor as the economy improves, said Stan Humphries, Zillow’s chief economist.

“These seem like fairly grim numbers,” Humphries said in a telephone interview. “We’re still expecting a bottom in home values later this year. And this, if anything, makes me a bit more confident because I’m seeing very large corrections now, which means the market can start to repair itself.”

The median value for a single-family home was $175,200 in the fourth quarter, down 2.6 percent from the end of September and 5.9 percent from a year earlier, according to Zillow.

Values have fallen 27 percent from the June 2006 peak.

he Deschutes National Forest has accepted Mt. Bachelor ski area’s outline for future development, the company announced Wednesday.

But new ski runs, mountain bike trails, a zip line and other improvements all must undergo environmental review and public comment, which will take at least two years.

Acceptance essentially means none of the items in Mt. Bachelor’s master development plan contradicts the Deschutes National Forest’s management plan, said Amy Tinderholt, recreation team leader with the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District.

Milestone for area Mt. Bachelor may still have a ways to go, but ski area officials see Forest Service ac-

ceptance as a milestone.

“It’s a positive step forward in this process,” said Andy Goggins, marketing and communications director.

Mt. Bachelor, which began operations in 1958, has been working on the latest development plan since July 2008, working with the Forest Service and gathering opinions from public meetings.

Lawsuit suggests banks double-dipped on bonds

By Louise Story New York Times News Service

Banks have been fighting with disgruntled bond investors and insurers for months, arguing that they do not need to buy back soured mortgages they placed inside securities before the financial crisis.

Now, it turns out, some of those banks may have secretly collected partial payments on those same mortgages several years ago and pocketed that money. At least that is a theory being pursued by plaintiffs’ lawyers in some of the largest mortgage bond lawsuits, in

which banks are accused of filling mortgage bonds with loans that did not belong there.

The theory surfaced in a recently unsealed lawsuit against a mortgage unit at Bear Stearns, the failed investment bank now part of JPMorgan Chase & Co. In the suit, the Ambac As-

by Bear Stearns, contends that Bear was partially compensated by loan originators for mortgages that became delinquent shortly after they were packaged into securities.

MEASURE 67

Proposals suggest easing tax hike on businesses SALEM — A controversial tax increase for businesses approved by voters a year ago would be scaled back under several bills being considered by state lawmakers.

Last year’s tax hike has been one of the most hotly debated topics in Oregon.

Opponents IN THE contend it has LEGISLATURE stifled job growth. Supporters say the money protects education and health care.

Rolling back the tax hikes from Measure 67 is a top priority for Republicans, who increased their clout in Salem following November’s election.

One proposal would get rid of it altogether. Another would eliminate it in 2013. Those are probably tough sells in a Capitol building still dominated by Democrats, who created the taxes to help balance the budget in 2009.

Seeking exemptions But the GOP hopes there’s enough support for smaller changes like exempting coops from certain tax hikes or eliminating a provision that taxes revenue, not profit, for some businesses. The House Revenue Committee on Wednesday discussed complaints about the structure of business taxes in Oregon.

The new gross receipts tax is a 0.1 percent levy on certain types of businesses that earn more than $500,000 in annual Oregon revenue. Opponents say the definition of Oregon revenue is too broad and can require businesses to pay taxes on work for out-of-state clients.

They also say the gross receipts tax ignores the amount of profit a business actually makes, penalizing low-margin corporations that take in a lot of revenue but also pay out high costs. It’s particularly challenging, they argue, for co-ops such as groups of farmers that band together to sell their crops.

DOWNTOWN BEND

Di Lusso Bakery Café closes doors

By Jordan Novet

By Eileen Ambrose

The Bulletin

The Baltimore Sun

With already high overhead and decreasing sales, the Di Lusso Bakery Café in downtown Bend had its last day of business Tuesday.

Marcie Aldape, the owner of the coffee shop at Franklin Avenue and Bond Street, said her lease on the space is scheduled to end April 1, and she was planning to close the business in three weeks to sell its assets.

She decided to close this week, she said, after learning that the food service license for the cafe had expired Dec. 31, and she did not want to pay the state the cost of renewing the license.

Eric Mone, environmental health supervisor at Deschutes County’s Environmental Health Division, confirmed the license’s expiration and said an employee

If you are a low- to moderate-income taxpayer and you shell out any money to have your taxes done, you’re likely paying too much.

Nowadays, with all sorts of avenues for filers of modest means to get their taxes done for free, paying someone to do the job is an unnecessary expense.

Before you take your W-2 PERSONAL to a preparer, look first to see FINANCE if you qualify for free help through federal and state governments as well as nonprofits. Still, each tax season — and this one is no different — finds tax preparation businesses pitching high-fee products and services to lowto moderate-income filers who can use every penny they can get. One positive sign this season is the decline of the refund anticipation loan, thanks to separate actions by the government.

Aldape said things simply came to a head Tuesday, and she chose to close the business earlier than she expected. In the past six months or so, the average customer was just buying coffee, not coffee and a sandwich, because of a still-tough economy, she said at the shop Wednesday, as many would-be customers stopped by and learned about the closing.

Josh Phillips was hoping to buy a turkey sandwich and work on his bookkeeping at the coffee shop early Wednesday afternoon when he saw signs on the doors announcing the closing.

the reduced loans on the loss of the IRS debt indicator.

As refund loans decline, be prepared to see more pitches for refund anticipation checks, warns Jean Ann Fox, director of financial services for the Consumer Federation of America.

H&R Block, which isn’t offering refund loans now, is promoting refund anticipation checks for $32.95.

With a refund anticipation check, the filer receives a temporary bank account in which the IRS can directly deposit the refund in eight to 15 days. Any fees for tax preparation are subtracted from the refund and then the taxpayer is issued a check or a prepaid card for the balance. The bank account is then closed.

Refund anticipation checks appeal to those who don’t have a bank account or don’t have the cash up front to pay to have their taxes done.

But if you have an account, you can get your money just as quickly if you elect to have your refund directly deposited. Plus, with so many options for free tax preparation, you likely could avoid those fees, too.

Even if you don’t qualify for free help, shop around for tax services, says Robin McKinney, director of the Maryland CASH Campaign, a coalition that promotes free tax-preparation services. There are plenty of lowcost software options, and some small tax preparers may offer a better price than large tax firms, she says.

Continued from B1 A refund loan is an advance on a tax refund. The fees charged are sometimes the equivalent of getting a loan at an annual percentage rate of a few hundred points.

The IRS abetted this lending practice for years by providing tax preparers and their partner banks with a “debt indicator” that signaled whether filers owed back taxes or other debt that would reduce their refunds.

This information was used to decide whether a customer could get a refund loan.

Last summer, the IRS announced it would no longer give out the debt indicator because taxpayers had other ways to get their refunds in a hurry — by electronically filing and having their refunds directly deposited in their bank account.

On top of that, federal regulators last year ordered some banks, including HSBC — which partnered with H&R Block — to stop making refund anticipation loans.

Not that refund loans have entirely disappeared. They are still being aggressively hawked by Jackson Hewitt, for instance. But even Jackson Hewitt has scaled back on them.

You used to be able to get a refund loan for as much as $7,500 through Jackson Hewitt. Now, the loan limit is $1,561.22, with $61.22 of that pocketed by the lender. Jackson Hewitt blames

That sort of evidence may matter to government investigators at places like the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is looking into whether banks misrepresented the sorts of mortgages placed in bonds.

At Bear, there seems to have been some knowledge of the failing loans, according to the Ambac case. Ambac says there is evidence of more than 100 early default settlements for batches of loans that soured quickly. An example in that case describes an $11 million payment for one batch of loans. For another batch of “at least 12 loans,” there was a $2.6 million payment.

Ambac’s case was filed in federal court, but a judge there ruled this week that the case belonged in a different jurisdiction.

Erik Haas, a lawyer for Ambac, said the company plans to refile in state court.

Continued from B1 Bear’s mortgage desk kept the payments, according to the suit, rather than apply them to the bonds that contained the delinquent loans.

Interviews with more than a dozen former workers at several big banks, including Lehman Brothers and Deutsche Bank, suggest that several banks received millions of dollars at a time in such payments, known as early payment default settlements.

But the money trail of these settlements is murky. It is unclear how much of the money added to bankers’ profits — and bonuses — and how much was forwarded to buy out bad loans from mortgage bonds.

Whether or not the settlement payments were shared with mortgage investors, they are likely to be used in court to show that Wall Street banks

House Budget Committee grills Bernanke on threat of inflation

By Neil Irwin The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke faced tough questions at a House hearing Wednesday over the threat of rising inflation brought on by the central bank’s policy of buying hundreds of billions of dollars in bonds to try to strengthen the economy.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan. R-Wis., told the Fed chief that he is concerned that the Fed won’t be able to detect inflation until “the cow is out of the barn” and until inflation is already spreading dangerously through the economy.

He and other Republicans are skeptical of the Fed’s November

Mt. Bachelor Continued from B1 The company, owned since 2001 by Utah-based Powdr Corp., intended the plan to guide improvements over the next 10 years, make Mt. Bachelor a year-round recreation destination, and increase its long-term viability, according to a news release Wednesday and a 2009 draft of the plan.

Improvements proposed around the Sunrise Lodge include a new chairlift and ski trails east of the Rainbow chairlift, a new base lodge, parking lot, beginner area with carpet-conveyor lifts and a kids zone, according to the news release.

Measure 67 Continued from B1 On Monday, the House Revenue Committee will consider HB 2565, which would exempt co-ops from the gross receipts tax, which Pendleton Republican Rep. Bob Jenson described as “unjust or unfair.”

Jenson is promoting bills that would make the tax hikes expire in 2013.

Voters approved two taxing measures in a January 2010 special election. Measure 66 raised taxes on high-income individuals, and Measure 67 raised them for businesses. The tax hikes were born in an effort by Democrats to balance the 2009-

decision to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds, fearing it will cause prices to jump too much.

Ryan also pushed Bernanke on what role the Fed’s stimulus efforts might play in an outbreak of inflation in developing nations such as Brazil and China in recent months.

“We’ve got inflation popping up in other parts of the world,” Ryan said. “To what extent do you think the Fed’s monetary policy has contributed to these global inflationary pressures?

Has this contributed to some of these hot money flows abroad?”

Bernanke dismissed the fear, arguing that underlying supply and demand is driving higher prices for oil, wheat and many

other items, rather than the Fed printing too much money.

“Monetary policy can’t do anything about bad weather in Russia or increases in demand for oil in Brazil and China,” Bernanke said. “What we can do is try to get stable prices and growth here in the United States.”

It was Bernanke’s first appearance before a committee of the new Republican-led House.

Bernanke hewed closely to previous statements about the economy and the federal budget: that the economy is gaining ground as 2011 begins, that unemployment is too high and that the skyrocketing budget deficit poses dangers to the economy if it isn’t brought down.

Near the West Village Lodge, the tubing hill will be moved, an expanded family snow play area created and a new nordic trail developed.

For summer, downhill mountain biking trails accessible by Pine Marten Express chairlift, and a new hiking trail and zip line between Pine Marten and West Village lodges will be added.

None of the projects has been approved, and each must undergo federal environmental analysis, which will be managed by the Forest Service, according to Mt. Bachelor’s news release.

Cirrus Ecological Solutions, an environmental consulting firm based in Logan, Utah,

has been hired to help with the process, according to the news release.

The Forest Service and Mt. Bachelor will decide on a group of improvements or changes that can be considered for review at one time, Tinderholt said. She expects the process to begin in late spring or early summer.

Mt. Bachelor’s proposals will be handled like all others, she said, with a process for identifying the key issues, draft and final environmental reports and opportunities for public comment. Updates will be posted on the website for the Deschutes & Ochoco national forests and Crooked River National Grassland.

“We’re starting the process

now, working with Mt. Bachelor,” she said.

In the ski area’s news release, Dave Rathbun, president and general manager, said the 2½year process, which included discussions with ski area employees, Forest Service officials and the public, led to a thoughtful plan.

“As excited as we are today about the Forest Service accepting the plan,” he said in the news release, “we know the process has only just begun. We encourage everyone with an interest in Mt. Bachelor’s future … to stay informed and involved.”

11 budget without deep cuts to education, health care and public safety. Business groups collected signatures to refer the levies to the ballot hoping voters would overturn them, but both tax hikes passed with 54 percent of the vote following an expensive and bitter campaign.

Republicans picked up enough seats in the November election to tie Democrats’ numbers in the House, and they hope their new clout will help them scale back the measures.

“I think there’s a lot of buyer’s remorse on this one,” said Rep. Kim Thatcher, a Keizer Republican who is sponsoring bills that would repeal both tax measures in their entirety.

But Thatcher and others ac-

knowledge they face an uphill battle and say it’s probably impossible to make changes to the personal tax hikes in Measure 66.

Democrats are reluctant to tinker with a law they fought hard to pass first in the Legislature and second with voters, saying they don’t want to refight battles of the past. Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eugene, said his colleagues are willing to alter the taxes if that’s shown to be the best approach.

“We’re willing to look at different ways of doing things that would increase fairness to the businesses involved and to the other taxpayers,” Barnhart said.

“But this year, they’ve got to be revenue-neutral. We can’t af-

ford to do anything else because our budget is so tight.”

Changes would not require voter approval, but lawmakers could refer the question to voters if they wanted.

It’s too early to tell how much money the state has earned from the business tax hikes, an economist told lawmakers on Wednesday. It was originally projected to bring in $225 million.

Economists reported late last year that revenue from the tax hike on high-income individuals was running about $50 million short of its projected $180 million in additional revenue, in part because there were fewer rich taxpayers as a result of the Great Recession.

HP unveils rival to iPad, 2 webOS smart phones

By Brandon Bailey San Jose Mercury News

SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-Packard unveiled its long-awaited rival to the iPad on Wednesday, showing off a 10-inch-screen “TouchPad” and new phones based on the webOS software that HP acquired when it bought Palm last year.

HP also plans to begin using webOS for at least some PC models later this year, HP Executive Vice President Todd Bradley told a theater full of journalists and analysts at Fort Mason Center.

After the presentation, Bradley said the announcement won’t change HP’s long-standing relationship with Microsoft, which makes the Windows software which most HP computers currently run.

“This is just enhancing our portfolio,” Bradley said, indicating that HP plans to make webOS computers in addition to its current Windows PCs. The company displayed two new Palm smart phones, including a credit-card-size model called the Veer for consumer use and a larger model called the Pre3, with a 3.6-inch screen, that is aimed at professionals, although it incorporates some consumer features.

In a two-hour presentation, HP executives stressed the ease with which webOS allows people to use their devices to perform multiple functions at once, while also boasting that the software makes it easy to switch “seamlessly” from one device to another — sharing information between a phone and tablet, for example, or e-mailing photos from either device to a wireless printer.

“We start with unique and differentiated technology and apply it across a portfolio of de-

The new TouchPad has several features that the iPad lacks, including a front-facing camera for video calling and support for Adobe’s Flash software, which is used to power much of the video and animation found on the Web. HP, based in Palo Alto, Calif., also announced partnerships with companies like DreamWorks, Time and Amazon, which will allow users to access some of their games and publications or other content on the TouchPad. But analysts say HP still faces a battle to catch up with Apple and the large number of devices that run on Google’s Android software. As an example, an HP spokesman said last week that there are currently about 6,500 software apps available for devices running webOS. By contrast, Apple boasts over 350,000 apps, including 60,000 designed specifically for the iPad, and Google says there are more than 100,000 Android apps.

HP, however, said it has plans to beef up the catalog of webOS

apps by reaching out to developers and persuading them that HP, as the world’s biggest PC company, has the size to put webOS apps in front of a large audience around the world.

“This is just the start of HP’s plan to build the largest installed base of connected users in the world,” said HP Vice President Steven McArthur.

On the heels of Wednesday’s webOS announcement, HP is planning to launch a new marketing campaign that a top executive said will be “as big or bigger” as its successful “The Computer is Personal Again” campaign, which launched five years ago and helped carry HP to the position of world’s biggest seller of PCs. The new campaign will include a substantial effort on the Web and social media, as well as television commercials that will air during “Saturday Night Live” and the upcoming Grammy Awards, according to Page Murray, vice president for integrated marketing in HP’s personal systems group.

Manager Bag ban debated in Salem of Bend ‘Landmark’ legislation to prohibit disposable plastic bags has bipartisan support store runs to rescue customer

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — The Oregon Legislature took up a controversial bill this week that would make Oregon the first state in the nation to ban disposable plastic bags.

Senate Bill 536 would prohibit retailers from using single-use plastic bags starting Nov. 11. Shoppers would have to bring their own bags or pay 5 cents for each paper bag supplied by the store.

Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, one of

IN THE LEGISLATURE

the bill’s sponsors, said in a Senate hearing Tuesday that Oregonians consume 1.7 billion plastic bags a year, and less than 5 percent of them are recycled.

“The last time Oregon’s litter problem was this bad, Oregon responded with the bottle

bill,” Hass said. “Since then our roadsides and beaches have been free of pop cans and beer bottles. But those same roadsides and beaches have now, in the past 10 years or so, become refuges for non-biodegradable bags.”

The bill has bipartisan support. Cosponsor Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, called the proposal “landmark” legislation during Tuesday’s hearing, pointing out that it was drafted with input from both parties, the grocery industry and municipalities.

As far as the employees at IZOD in the Bend Factory Stores were concerned, Sam Martin was a regular.

Every couple of weeks or so he’d stop in to do some shopping or simply browse through the piles of argyle sweaters and polo shirts looking for a good deal.

Sometimes Martin, 54, would make his visits a family affair.

He’d bring his wife, Kim, and their 10-year-old son, Seth, who would spend his time folding clothes with the employees while waiting for his parents.

But on Monday, manager “He ChristyLincoln, looked like aBend25-year-old resident, there was realized somesomething thing wasn’t quite right. wrong.

I knew it “He looked like there was scared something me, but wrong,” Lincoln said. “I didn’t I had no realize it was idea it that serious of was that a situation. I it scared serious.” knew me, but I had no idea it was that — Christy serious.”

Lincoln, Martin was manager of going into diathe Bend betic shock. His IZOD store blood sugar levels had plummeted, and he was having a hypoglycemic reaction. If Martin couldn’t get his blood sugar levels up, he could slip into a coma and possibly die.

Weakened and disoriented, Martin left the store. He only made it a couple of feet from the entrance before sitting on a bench. He was trying to reach his car. His phone was inside and he wanted to call his wife for help.

“When Sam gets scared or something is happening like that, he calls me,” Kim Martin said. “It’s scary for me when he goes out if I can’t get to him.”

Martin was diagnosed with advanced Type 2 diabetes about six months ago. Since then he’s had three or four instances where his blood sugar dropped dangerously low. Each time he was at his home in Deschutes River Woods, and each time an ambulance was needed. On one occasion, it was Seth who had to make the call.

By the time Martin reached his car, his legs and voice began to falter. While he had taken his medication, he hadn’t eaten anything and had also overexerted himself because he was running errands for his wife, who was immobile from having ankle surgery the week before.

According to Dr. Mary Carroll, a Bend endocrinologist who is not Martin’s physician, it was likely several factors that caused him to have the reaction. She said these episodes are usually caused by a combination of a lack of food, overexertion or using one of the oral medications he was on to control his blood sugar.

“When it happens, it can happen quite suddenly,” Carroll said.

When Martin finally called home, his wife was frantic. There was nothing she could do except call a neighbor who happened to be in downtown Bend to see if he could rescue her husband.

REDMOND SCHOOLS

Wednesday early release proposal is in the works

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

REDMOND — School days in the Redmond School District could look different next year, with a proposal in the works to release students from school an hour early each Wednesday to allow time for staff professional development.

The Redmond School Board is expected to vote on the issue in the spring, but members of the committee studying the proposal presented an early version during a board meeting Wednesday.

No vote was taken.

If Redmond adopted an early release Wednesday schedule, it would join several other school districts in the region. Bend-La Pine Schools students are released early each Wednesday.

And the Sisters School District begins classes an hour late every Wednesday. Several other districts across the state take a similar approach.

Under the developing Redmond plan, students would not lose any class time. The district would add 10 to 15 minutes to the other four days of the week.

The district would also convert about four days from planning or conference days into class time. That time becomes available next year when the district moves from a trimester to a semester schedule, which has fewer parent-teacher conferences and report cards.

If staff are allocated regular professional time, they will be better at their jobs, said Jennifer Moore, a teacher at Obsidian Middle School and a committee member. The plan would not cost the district any extra money, she said.

For each week, the staff development would have an agenda and goals.

Property tax appeals rise in Deschutes

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Property tax appeals have risen for the third consecutive year in Deschutes County, as home builders, resort developers, financial institutions and individuals have asked officials to lower their bills.

People who disagree with their property tax bills can appeal to their county governments to lower them. Deschutes County property owners filed 2,630 appeals on tax bills sent out in October. The deadline for tax appeals was Dec. 31.

This year’s appeals are up by 270 from the previous year, when 2,360 were filed.

County officials determine the validity of tax appeals by holding hearings. The hearings on last year’s appeals resulted in a total revenue reduction of more than $550,000, according to Loni Burk, chief deputy tax collector. Hearings on this year’s appeals begin Monday.

Appeals had increased dramatically before this year. Two years ago, there were 1,010 appeals, which represented a large increase from the year before, when there

were only 326.

Deschutes County Assessor Scot Langton said the increase probably arose because many people saw their tax bills climb — the result of Oregon’s Measure 50 — even as their property values continued to plummet.

“I was actually expecting an increase more than what we received, and a lot of that’s due to our continuing declining real estate market right now,” Langton said Wednesday. “I think that has a significant impact on that.”

REDMOND — The new high school in Redmond will have one of the following three names: Ridgeview, South Redmond or Grandview.

The Redmond School District is no longer accepting name suggestions for the school, which is set to open for the 2012-13 year and is being paid for with money from the $110 million bond voters passed in 2008. A volunteer committee on Wednesday recommended the three names, ranking Ridgeview as its favorite.

The committee favored Ridgeview because the school will have expansive views of the mountains and the name refers to Pleasant Ridge, a community that once stood in the area south of Redmond.

Some committee members favored South Redmond because the name is place specific, so people across the state would always know where the school was located.

Grandview, committee members said, also referred to the view of the mountains.

Beginning today, the district will accept comments on the finalists. To comment on the names, visit: www.redmond.k12 .or.us.

Judges warn of impact of funding cuts Oregon Supreme Court chief among those testifying at hearing The Associated Press ATLANTA — New Hampshire’s retired top judge said civil trials had to be suspended to cope with cuts to the judiciary. Georgia’s chief justice had to seek out donations for basic supplies. And when Oregon’s Supreme Court chief thinks of the justice system, an image of a dying tree propped up for appearances comes to mind.

The emotional testimony from some of the nation’s most powerful judges came Wednesday at the first hearing of the American Bar Association’s Task Force on Preservation of the Justice System. The 50 or so judges, court administrators and other legal experts gathered in Atlanta to highlight the effect of budget cuts on the judicial system. “Things have only gotten worse. What has been a problem for a long time is now a crisis.

And if we don’t do something now, it’s too late,� said Steve Zack, the association’s president. “This isn’t about the judiciary. It’s

“What has been a problem for a long time is now a crisis. And if we don’t do something now, it’s too late.� — Steve Zack, president of the American Bar Association about the failure of the system to provide access to the court.�

The task force was created to gauge the impact of the funding cuts, which have contributed to court backlogs, staff cuts and speedy trial violations in some states. The group is also charged with documenting how the courts are struggling to provide access to justice for all Americans. “Lawyers aren’t suffering.

They are not doing this to assist or advance their interests,� said Ted Olson, a former solicitor general who co-chairs the task force. “It’s for the American people.

They are the ones who can’t get a judge.�

In Georgia, where backlogs have forced months-long waits for relatively simply matters such as child support hearings, lawmakers have slashed funding by six percent this fiscal year and 14 percent last year.

Carol Hunstein, the state Supreme Court’s chief justice, said her office had to lay off seven employees, close its law library, give up office space and even return a copy machine. She said the court is forced to solicit pen and pencil donations from vendors and draft unpaid student interns to keep the clerk’s office humming. “That’s as tight of a budget as we can get,� she said. “The courts are public safety, and without the court system, you jeopardize public safety — not only with the backlog of criminal cases, but the backlog of civil cases.�

Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul de Muniz said the courts themselves are partly to blame, because they have come

to expect the “barest and most minimal funding.� “Our courts today represent a dying tree you prop up in your front yard so that the landscaping looks OK,� he said. “But it’s a facade. Because behind that are layoffs, furloughs and eliminations of all kinds of services.�

New Hampshire’s budget cuts forced some districts to cancel civil trials and small claims cases, cut back judge hours and jury days and close courts. John Broderick, who recently retired as the state’s to judge, said the state is in danger of an even graver threat. “The courts are in a foot race to remain relevant in American life,� he said. “And we’re losing the race in my state.�

Broderick echoed a concern that many addressed: Politicians need to be reminded that the judiciary is an independent, and equal, branch of government, not a state agency whose budget can be slashed at will. “We’re not special, we never pretended to be special,� Broderick said. “But we are different, and that difference is grounded in the Constitution.�

COCC to seek proposals for solar installations Central Oregon Community College has completed a solar array feasibility study and will seek proposals from companies to put in the installations.

At its board meeting Wednesday, COCC officials and a representative of Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch, the firm that conducted the feasibility study, presented the school’s solar options.

An Oregon law that went into effect in 2008 requires any new public construction or renovation project valuing $1 million or more to include 1.5 percent of the direct construction cost to be used for solar installations on the buildings.

With five new buildings under way — three on the Bend campus as well as the Madras and Redmond campuses — the college must spend about $630,000 on solar arrays, which include

solar panels.

The feasibility study found nearly 600,000 square feet of high-priority space to be used for solar power. That space could put out nearly 5 million kilowatt hours, with a maximum firstyear electricity savings of about $340,000.

The college hopes to reach a purchase power agreement with a solar energy company. Those agreements generally allow a company to pay for installation and maintenance of the solar systems. The company would then take all the tax credits and would charge the college a set amount for the kilowatt hours generated by the solar arrays.

Prescribed burns near Prineville start today

The burn is scheduled to last for five days near the Prineville Lake Acres Subdivisions I and II. Smoke may be visible to residents and motorists. No road closures are expected, though motorists are advised to reduce speeds and turn on their headlights if the smoke settles along roadways. Signs will be in place along JuniperCanyon Road to alert motorists.

The purpose of the burn is to get rid of material left over from thinning projects. Patrols and mop-up activities will take place during and following the burn.

During the hearing, Daniels and Hass sparred over the 5cent paper bag surcharge the bill would create. When Daniels referred to it as a tax, Hass insisted that it wasn’t, pointing to “a legal opinion that says this is not a tax� and urging Daniels to “play within the rules.�

The Senate Environment and Natural Resource committee will now have to decide whether to send the bill to the full Senate and House.

Rudy Dory, the owner of Newport Avenue Market in Bend, said he likes the idea of a plastic bag ban as long as it isn’t applied only to grocery stores. “I would be happy if everyone would bring their own bag,� he said. “I think any retailer would be happy on that.�

The bill does exempt some businesses, including restaurants and pharmacies.

Nature’s General Store, in Bend, has never used plastic grocery bags, and Bend’s Whole Foods Market stopped using them in April 2008.

O Chinese classes go virtual Lacking enough qualified teachers to meet demand, schools tap instructors in China

By Wendy Owen The Oregonian

HILLSBORO — About 6,000 miles away at 2 a.m., a teacher in China will turn on her computer and teach Mandarin to students in Oregon.

At least, that’s the hope of educators at the Northwest Regional Education Service District in Hillsboro. By the end of February, the Education Service District plans to offer the first virtual Mandarin Chinese language classes in Oregon taught by teachers in China.

Because of China’s growing economic power, Chinese has replaced other foreign languages, such as German, in some Oregon school districts, but it’s difficult to find Chinese teachers.

“We believe the demand far exceeds the training,” said James Sager, assistant superintendent Northwest Regional ESD. Nationally, districts have struggled for years to find enough certified Chinese teachers already in the United States.

In Oregon, there are 17 licensed Chinese teachers, said Vickie Chamberlain, executive director, Teacher Standards and Practices Commission.

The commission does not offer a specific Chinese language endorsement as it does other languages, which has kept universities from developing programs to prepare those teachers, Chamberlain said.

Superintendents at rural and urban districts were intrigued by the virtual plan.

“In rural areas like ours, it’s very difficult to add options,”

The company is planning to bring teachers to the United States as well, but the program would remain online, he said.

Cultural challenges Portland Public Schools has vast experience with Chinese language classes, and Michael Bacon, who directs the district’s K-12 Chinese Flagship Program, said there are cultural challenges for some of the teachers.

For example, it takes a while to get acclimated to the American way, where students don’t automatically show teachers respect, Bacon said. There’s a learning curve on both sides.

“In Chinese culture, being critical of your students is very well accepted,” he said. “You give a level of criticism and students respond to that, whereas Americans tend to motivate through praise. That has been a hard thing, especially for the parents more than the kids.”

Oregon is working to bring more Chinese teachers to the state. The 3-year-old Confucius Institute at Portland State University will provide teachers from China to schools that apply for them.

The teachers are no cost to the districts but are temporary and their main purpose is to assist full-time Mandarin teachers.

They can teach classes on their own if needed, said Meiru Liu, professor and director of the Confucius Institute at Portland State.

So far, Portland Public Schools and Beaverton School District are using the instructors.

Gold miner assault trial opens with testimony of man who lost arm The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — An Oregon man who lost part of his arm in a violent encounter with a gold miner in the mountains near the California border was the first to testify against the miner in his trial on assault and weapons charges.

Gregory Graybill took the stand Tuesday to describe how an off-road excursion with friends in April 2009 turned into a confrontation with Ronald Spears, armed with a shotgun, the Mail Tribune reported.

Spears, 63, is on trial in Josephine County Circuit Court in Grants Pass, just north of the remote area where Spears has been working his mining claim in the Illinois River valley.

About 20 members of the Southwest Oregon Mining Association dressed in yellow shirts sat behind Spears in the courtroom in a show of support.

Graybill, 55, testified that Spears confronted him and some friends when they drove into an isolated campsite, screaming at them to get off his mining claim and firing shotgun rounds into the air.

“He was extremely agitated,” Graybill said.

Before moving on, Graybill told Spears that he and his friends had a right to be on public land.

“It’s not just for miners,” Graybill said.

All three vehicles cleared the campsite, but Graybill and his driver, Eric Olson, 56, got sepa-

rated from the rest of their party.

Graybill took off on foot, spotted the rest of his party and walked toward them when Spears suddenly appeared again.

Graybill said he stepped toward Spears before he was “bayoneted” by Spears’ shotgun in the right side of his ribcage.

Graybill said he pushed the gun away just as Spears fired at point-blank range.

“If I hadn’t done the left-hand sweep, I’d be dead,” Graybill said.

“I swept. He fired.”

Spears’ defense attorney, Daniel Simcoe, in opening arguments suggested Graybill did more than sweep — that he grabbed the weapon and it discharged accidentally.

The blast tore away most of the bone and muscle of his right arm, Graybill said.

Fellow off-roader Don Hood helped the injured Graybill into the passenger side of his vehicle and began the 30-minute rocky ride back to Selma. His training as a corpsman in Vietnam helped him survive, Graybill said.

Eight surgeries could not save the former master carpenter’s limb and Graybill said he decided to have the lower part of his right arm amputated last July. “There was no function,” Graybill said.

O B 70 Years of Hearing Excellence

Man sentenced in porn, sex abuse case BEND — An Oregon man was sentenced to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography and sex abuse charges involving three young girls.

KTVZ-TV in Bend reports that 44-year-old David Anthony Windham was indicted last year on 94 counts before he pleaded guilty Monday to a dozen of those charges.

Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies said the investigation began when a woman Windham had been dating in the coastal town of Port Orford found some computer disks Windham left behind after they broke up.

Three guilty pleas were charges out of Curry County — a felon in possession of a firearm, failure to register as a sex offender and encouraging child sex abuse.

The other nine guilty pleas included sex abuse, rape and using a child in a sexual display.

Suspected killer seeks mental health exam ST. HELENS — The 21-yearold man accused of shooting and killing the police chief of Rainier has asked for a mental health examination and to suspend all proceedings in his murder trial.

The attorneys for Daniel Butts of Kalama, Wash., will argue before Judge Ted Grove on Wednesday that Butts needs to be examined by a court-appointed forensic neuropsychologist to see whether he is competent to stand trial.

Butts is charged with aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, robbery, burglary, theft, unauthorized use of a vehicle and recklessly endangering another person. If convicted of aggravated murder, Butts could face the death penalty if prosecutors choose to seek it in the death of Chief Ralph Painter.

Painter was shot after responding to a suspicious person call at a stereo shop.

ing a seat belt and her daughter, Shelby Mizee, was in a booster seat in the back seat.

The truck driver, 65-year-old Willard Richards of Salem, suffered minor injuries.

The highway was closed for 4½ hours while troopers investigated the crash.

Teen suspended over locker room cell phone SALEM — A teenage boy has been suspended from an Oregon middle school after a cell phone with a camera was found in a girls’ locker room in the town of St. Paul.

The Statesman Journal reports there was no indication a recording on the phone had been distributed after it was discovered Friday during a girls’ basketball game.

St. Paul School Superintendent and high school Principal Sid Hobgood said a student told him Friday during the game there was a camera in the team’s locker room.

Hobgood said the 14-year-old boy who was suspended is an eighth-grader at St. Paul Middle School, which shares facilities with the high school.

Marion County sheriff’s deputies are investigating.

Portland mayor goes to Spain to retain jobs PORTLAND — Portland Mayor Sam Adams and the head of the city’s urban renewal agency flew to Spain this week to ask executives of the Iberdrola Renewables company to keep North American headquarters in Portland after building leases expire in two years.

The Oregonian reports city officials are eager to retain the 350 jobs.

The energy development company started as a subsidiary of PacifiCorp known as PPM Energy. It has been developing wind farms in the United States and also has offices in Houston, Minneapolis, Chicago and Philadelphia.

SALEM — The annual death toll on Oregon highways declined in 2010.

Preliminary figures released Wednesday by the Oregon Department of Transportation showed a 13 percent decrease to 325 fatalities last year, compared with 377 in 2009.

Officials said the 2010 total was the lowest since 1944, when there were 245 deaths.

Oregon transportation safety chief Troy Costales said the numbers suggest drivers are paying more attention to safety.

He also says improvements in road design and traffic management techniques have contributed to fewer crashes and fatalities.

Despite the overall decline in traffic deaths, Oregon pedestrian fatalities nearly doubled last year from 2009 — 62 deaths in 2010 compared with 39 killed the previous year.

Real estate executive pleads guilty to fraud EUGENE — The chief financial officer of an Albany-based real estate development company that prosecutors say bilked investors out of more than $5 million has pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit securities fraud.

Federal prosecutors said 36year-old Anthony Tuomi was the CFO of Willamette Development Services when authorities began to investigate fraud allegations in 2008.

Tuomi was accused of making false statements to investors, which caused them to lose over $5.26 million.

Willamette Development Services was founded in 2006 by Joe LaCoste, a former Oregon State University running back, with plans for building homes and commercial projects across the Willamette Valley.

LaCoste was ousted by the company’s executive board in January 2008 amid allegations of financial improprieties.

Sentencing for Tuomi was set for Aug. 9 in federal court in Eugene.

Suspicious package turns out to be clothing SALEM — A duffel bag with a suspicious package inside found at a major intersection in downtown Salem turned out to be just a bag filled with clothing.

The military-style duffel bag was found about 1:40 p.m.

Wednesday near the Oregon Department of Energy building on the northeast corner of Church and Center streets.

Oregon State Police and Salem police used a bomb squad robot to examine the bag and the package before deliberately setting off a disarming charge that revealed mostly clothing inside the bag.

Don’t demand LEED certification

O

ne way Bend’s William E. Miller Elementary is special is it uses far less water and energy than a typical school of its size. The school says it uses about 35 percent less water and 41 percent less energy.

The 250 solar panels on the roof also generate about 14 percent of the power for the building. Miller Elementary was even the first school east of the Cascades in Oregon to earn a LEED Gold certification.

La Pine’s new Rosland Elementary was also built to LEED standards with similar benefits.

LEED Certification is a buildit-green standard developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. House Bill 2203 in the Oregon Legislature would require that buildings built, repaired or remodeled by school districts with a certain type of bond would be required to qualify for “LEED Silver certification or equivalent standard.”

Not a good idea.

The goal is a good one. We all want our schools to be energy- and resource-efficient. LEED standards are certainly widely used standards.

But they are not the only ones.

They may not be the best ones. School districts should decide for themselves how best to spend their money to meet

educational goals. If it makes educational, financial and environmental sense to build green, they should do it. How they do it should not be narrowly defined.

Some of the language in the bill is also problematic. The requirement for the LEED certification applies even to repairs or improvements to a building. Building a new building to a LEED standard from scratch is one thing. Trying to do that with an older building is another far more expensive thing. Does the bill intend that the entire building is going to have to meet LEED goals?

You don’t have to take our word for the verdict on House Bill 2203.

John Rexford, deputy superintendent of the Bend-La Pine Schools, which built Miller and Rosland elementaries, agrees.

The bill “is a laudable goal,” he said. “It’s too prescriptive.”

The district is proud of what it has done with those two buildings. But he said it is better for Bend to learn from what it did and be able to decide what to do with its next school, without marching to one standard.

With the financial picture that Oregon schools being what it is, we don’t think it is the best time to insist schools follow overly prescriptive standards whose long-term values are debatable.

Superintendent makes sacrifice for education

E

ven school districts in relatively wealthy communities like Lake Oswego face budget problems in the years ahead. And, as is the case elsewhere, the district’s directors are looking at what a few years ago would have been unthinkable ways of balancing the district’s budget — in this case, by closing as many as a third of the district’s schools. Now Superintendent William Korach has made an offer so generous it should serve to put all of that district’s employees on notice: Your response to any sacrifices you might be asked to make will be judged in the light of what Korach is willing to give up.

Korach is far from a newcomer to the district in the Portland suburbs.

He has headed Lake Oswego schools for 24 years, a record unmatched in Oregon, and worked for the district for six years before that. As superintendent he is paid $140,000 a year to oversee the education of just over 6,000 students. He knows that $8 million in cuts from a $61 million budget — the current best guess of the district’s shortfall — would be felt by everyone.

Knowing all that, Korach offered earlier this week to make the district a deal it will have trouble refusing. He will take a pay cut at the end of the

year, reducing his salary by half. His generosity goes beyond that, however. In addition to cutting his pay, he is willing to donate the remaining $70,000 back to the district, putting him in the position of working for no pay while freeing up enough money for the district to keep at least one teacher and one support staff member employed.

Korach hopes his generosity will set an example for others in the district, and surely it will. Faced with what their superintendent is willing to give up, teachers may find it more difficult to reject such proposals as salary cuts or an end to the district’s 6 percent contribution to their retirement package. It would be difficult, no doubt, for teachers to justify doing so in the face of what Korach has made clear he is willing to sacrifice.

We don’t expect school superintendents around Oregon to stampede to follow Korach’s suit. His financial situation is unique. What works for him is likely impractical for many if not all of the rest. Still, it is impossible not to be impressed by the generosity of what Korach has done and to recognize how much pressure it will put on everyone in the Lake Oswego school district to do their part.

My Nickel’s Worth Need or greed?

We read in a recent Bulletin on Page B1 how Oregon’s Public Utility Commission approves “another increase” for Pacific Power — fourth increase in a year. The cap-and-trade bill coupled with weak leadership, feeble excuses to support these money-draining increases is slowly another ploy to shipwreck this country. How about the utility company’s employees, top on down, take a big cut in wages?

I often believe the increasing of fees or taxes is a continual greedy abuse rather than a needed necessity. Maybe the private citizens need to install a panel of private citizen overseers and have access to terminate individuals who continually practice oppressing the public. I haven’t seen our elected officials do anything tangible to stop these burdensome increases.

Are upper government officials and/ or utilities companies holding the general public hostage, utilizing the safety of their job and/or demand of their service as leverage against us? It reveals no camaraderie or compassion on others. Please, fellow citizens, consider contacting your state and federal elected officials and let them know how you are doing with this continuation of inflationary cost.

A solution for bad drivers I’m writing to suggest that a more stringent law be passed and enacted to counter the epidemic of drivers in the

state of Oregon who are continuing to drive illegally without a valid license, or with a suspended license.

This problem was graphically illustrated by a front-page article in the Jan. 26 edition of The Bulletin in which a driver with a suspended license continued to drive after numerous citations, eventually allegedly killing an innocent person after running a stop sign. The Jefferson County district attorney admitted that according to the present law he couldn’t stop her from further driving.

Here’s my suggestion: Any person found to be driving without a valid driver’s license would be immediately cited and have the driven vehicle towed and impounded. To retrieve the vehicle, the registered owner would have 60 days to pay the redemption fee of $3,000 plus any other incurred fees. If it happened again, the penalty would be doubled. If the vehicle is not retrieved after the 60day grace period, it would then become property of the state of Oregon or the local county to be auctioned off. Vehicles reported stolen prior to the citation would be exempt from the retrieval fee.

Illegal drivers are numerous in our area as well as throughout the state.

Without more stringent penalties, illegal drivers will continue to endanger innocent citizens throughout the state.

Perhaps, a similar law would be appropriate for DUII drivers.

Health care misinformation Passage of the health care plan was

a monumental achievement. Unfortunately polls show that almost half of the respondents think it should be repealed. This is due, undoubtedly, to the extraordinarily effective Republican campaign of misinformation and innuendo that has been inadequately addressed by either the Democrats or the media.

Speaker of the House John Boehner recently stated on television that the American medical system is the best in the world. According to the World Health Organization’s ranking of the world’s health system the United States ranks 37th, just behind Costa Rica and just ahead of Slovenia. For this disappointing rating we spend twice as much money as the next most expensive health care system (National Geographic, Dec. 31, 2009).

In a recent editorial The Bulletin repeated the Republican claim that the health plan’s savings are not credible.

In support of this assertion the editor brought up the “doc fix,” a temporary adjustment of payments to physicians treating Medicare patients. This is necessary because of an unworkable formula for payment passed by a Republican Congress in 1997. It is a cost that will be present whether or not the Health Care remains or is revised.

In an article reporting on the House vote to repeal the plan, The Bulletin quoted Rep. Greg Walden as saying that patients should have the right to choose their doctor, plainly insinuating that the health care bill abridges that right. It does not.

Building a health care system that works for everyone O n Jan. 24, an article in The Bulletin suggested that the St. Charles Health System (SCHS), the Physician Hospital Alignment (PHA) and the Central Oregon Independent Practice Association (COIPA) were on a “collision course.” Let me present one insider’s view of the situation.

The year 2009 was a rancorous time for this medical community, and the St. Charles leadership had lost any ability to effectively communicate with the local physicians. A small group of concerned physicians banded together to identify other colleagues who believed that working well with hospitals was critical to the stability of our regional health care system. The hospital board of directors responded enthusiastically to this idea of alignment, in which physicians and hospitals agree to work together, toward common goals, and to avoid behavior that harms the other.

The Physician Hospital Alignment was formed to begin developing the St. Charles Health System as an integrated delivery system that would better coordinate care and achieve the triple aim of improving the health of our community, improving the patient experience, and reducing the per capita cost of care.

Integrated delivery systems (note the word “integrated”) have existed in one form or another for decades. One might envision Oregon Health & Science University, or the Cleveland Clinic, or the Kaiser Health System. In each of these, physicians and hospitals work together as one entity. In many systems, physicians can engage in a variety of ways, such as employment or some other form of contracted affiliation.

In the 1980s and 1990s there was a nationwide move by hospitals to assume the totality of patient care by buying physician practices and hiring the doctors simply as employees. Many of these enterprises failed miserably, and the hospitals divested themselves of the physicians. Now the elephant in the room at any discussion between physicians and hospitals is physician fear — fear of losing autonomy and fear of losing income.

All of the successful integrated systems have effectively addressed these legitimate physician concerns.

More importantly, the successful systems have embraced physician involvement and direction at the highest levels of management. The mission statement for the Physician Hospital Alignment, that was endorsed by the St. Charles board

IN MY VIEW

of directors in 2009, emphasized this concept.

So where are we now? And what is this perceived “collision course” between the St. Charles Health System and the Central Oregon Independent Practice Association (note the word “independent”).

After its alignment with physicians, the SCHS radically changed the governance and operational structure of the organization, agreeing to embed physician leadership at all levels of clinical care, including the establishment of a physician chief clinical officer, and the addition of more physicians to the board of directors.

Engagement models for practicing physicians who decide to work within the system range from employment (as a physician choice) to affiliation, in which case the physicians are clinically integrated but remain independent with respect to the business and management aspects of their own practices.

Some members of the IPA leadership have taken issue with the employment of primary care providers by the SCHS. Citing a recent survey, they have stated that “86 percent” of IPA members are op-

posed. However, the question cited actually asked, “Are you contracted with, employed by or plan to be employed by the St. Charles Health System?” Eighty-six percent did reply “no.” However, a different question in the same survey asked, “A component of the PHA’s model includes providers employed by the St. Charles Health System. How supportive are you of this model?” To that, 46.8 percent were not supportive at all, 17.7 percent were neutral, 14.5 percent were somewhat supportive, and 21 percent were very supportive.

This ambivalence about the SCHS hiring of physicians is understandable. But the employment of physicians need not be seen as such a threat. The SCHS is being developed to deliver coordinated, excellent care in partnership with the region’s physicians and other providers, primarily through affiliation. But employment of outside physicians may be necessary to fill service gaps, address the access issues of the underinsured, and fulfill the charity care obligation of the SCHS. It has been disappointing to see the IPA leadership, some of whom were instrumental in founding the PHA, turn physicians away from integration to separation. But their concerns are rational, and

IPAs have been constructive organizations in many communities, including Central Oregon. However, separate, competing entities: Hospitals, providers, and insurers made more sense in a fee-forservice world. With reimbursement reform being imposed, and the complexity, cost and demand for health care increasing, integration and coordination seem to offer a more logical way to deliver highquality care at the most reasonable cost.

The solution to this “collision course” will be found in active, frank dialogue and appropriate action. Maybe physician leaders can diminish the paranoia. Maybe the SCHS leaders can begin rebuilding their credibility by saying what they mean, and doing what they say.

In reality we are not independent of one another. The enormity of our health care delivery crisis, and the facts of reimbursement reform will bind us together, someway, somehow. We are poised to build a health system that works for all of us, and for our community. If we do not do it, we, physicians, hospitals and clinic executives, have only ourselves to hold responsible.

Slifka, 81, promoted Arab-Jewish harmony

By Dennis Hevesi New York Times News Service

Alan B. Slifka, a New York investment manager who used his fortune to promote harmony among Israeli Arabs and Jews and to give the Big Apple Circus its start, died Friday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 81 and also had a home in Manhattan.

The cause was cancer, his wife, Riva Ritvo-Slifka, said.

Slifka already had more than 30 years’ experience in the financial industry in 1981 when, with initial assets of $50 million, he started an investment management company bearing his name.

Known today as Halcyon Asset Management, the company manages more than $10 billion.

Seven years after starting the company, Slifka visited friends in Israel and could not understand why so few of them were friendly with Arab-Israeli citizens.

“He toured Arab villages,” Ritvo-Slifka said, “and was troubled at the discrepancies in how they lived.”

With $500,000, Slifka started the Abraham Fund Initiatives, named for the biblical patriarch of both Arabs and Jews. Since its establishment, the fund has provided more than $10 million in grants for a range of educational programs to dispel stereotypes and to foster Jewish-Arab cooperation in health, social services and women’s rights. Among many projects, it has supported an Arab-Jewish theater workshop, touring chamber music quartets and a karate program for Jewish and Arab youngsters.

“We can be viewed as a coexistence mutual fund,” Slifka once said.

An urge to give something to his hometown, New York, spurred Slifka to become the founding chairman of the Big Apple Circus in 1977. It was another way to satisfy his philanthropic inclination.

The renowned one-ring circus is a nonprofit organization that supports community programs, health institutions and charities.

Slifka gave more than $10 million to the organization over the years.

Olsen, 84, co-founded influential company Digital Equipment Corp.

By Glenn Rifkin New York Times News Service

Ken Olsen, who helped reshape the computer industry as a founder of the Digital Equipment Corp., at one time the world’s second-largest computer company, died Sunday. He was 84.

His family announced the death but declined to provide further details. He had recently lived with a daughter in Indiana and had been a longtime resident of Lincoln, Mass.

Olsen, who was proclaimed “America’s most successful entrepreneur” by Fortune magazine in 1986, built Digital on $70,000 in seed money, founding it with a partner in 1957 in the small Boston suburb of Maynard, Mass.

With Olsen as its chief executive, it grew to employ more than 120,000 people at operations in more than 95 countries, surpassed in size only by IBM. At its peak, in the late 1980s, Digital reported $14 billion in sales and ranked among the most profitable companies in the United States.

But its fortunes soon declined after Digital began missing out on some critical market shifts, particularly toward the personal computer. Olsen was criticized as autocratic and resistant to new trends. “The personal computer will fall flat on its face in business,” he said at one point. And in July 1992, the company’s board forced him to resign.

Six years later, Digital, or DEC, as the company was known, was acquired by the Compaq Computer Corp. for $9.6 billion.

But for 35 years the enigmatic Olsen oversaw an expanding technology giant that produced some of the computer industry’s breakthrough ideas.

In a tribute to him in 2006, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, called Olsen “one of the true pioneers of computing,” adding, “He was also a major influence on my life.”

Gates traced his interest in software to his first use of a DEC computer as a 13-year-old.

He and Microsoft’s other founder, Paul Allen, created their first personal computer software on a DEC PDP-10 computer.

Minicomputer maker In the 1960s, Digital built small, powerful and elegantly designed “minicomputers,” which formed the basis of a lucrative new seg-

Committee members described how the time might be used, including on literacy and math goals or refining curriculum and how to teach it. Committee members, though, also

Appeals Continued from C1 Meanwhile in Jefferson County, property tax appeals were down by more than 50 percent from last year. There were 75 appeals this year, down from 167 last year and 181 two years ago, said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Clerk Lynne Weisen.

In Crook County, there were 156 property tax appeals, said Deputy Clerk and IT Specialist Leslie Trammell. That was similar to last year, when there were approximately 160 appeals, Trammel said. Both years were much higher than the usual number of appeals, which is between 20 and 30. Trammel said the increase is probably due to the weak economy.

Measure 50, which voters passed in 1997, amended the state Constitution to generally set the assessed value of properties at the 1995 market value, minus 10 percent. Properties also have a “real market value,” which is the price county assessors believe they’d fetch on the

Though hardly “mini” by today’s standards, the computer became a favorite alternative to the giant, multimillion-dollar mainframe computers sold by IBM to large corporate customers. The minicomputer found a market in research laboratories, engineering companies and other professions requiring heavy computer use.

In time, several minicomputer companies sprang up around Digital and thrived, forming the foundation of the Route 128 technology corridor near Boston.

Digital also spawned a generation of computing talent, lured by an open corporate culture that fostered a free flow of ideas. A frequently rumpled outdoorsman who preferred flannel shirts to business suits, Olsen, a brawny man with piercing blue eyes, shunned publicity and ran the company as a large, sometimes contentious family.

Many within the industry assumed that Digital, with its stellar engineering staff, would be the logical company to usher in the age of personal computers, but Olsen was openly skeptical of the desktop machines. He thought of them as “toys” used for playing video games.

Still, most people in the industry say Olsen’s legacy is secure.

“Ken Olsen is the father of the second generation of computing,” said George Colony, who is chief executive of Forrester Research and a longtime industry watcher, “and that makes him one of the major figures in the history of this business.”

described what would not happen during the staff development time. That time, for instance, would not be used to grade papers or complete paperwork.

“It’s not for the everyday work of school,” said Alishia Anderson, a teacher at John Tuck Elementary and a committee member.

Committee members acknowledged there was plenty of work to do, including finalizing how the schedule change would affect transportation.

Board Chairman Jim Erickson

and board member Cathy Miller both described how a similar proposal several years ago upset parents. They said parents were concerned about everything from transportation to child care.

“The passion in the room was such that we weren’t able to hear the positives,” Erickson said.

In an attempt to avoid a similar fate, committee members will, over the next six weeks, visit several community and parent groups to describe the plan. Committee members plan

market. Under the measure, assessed value may grow by only 3 percent annually, and property taxes are based on whichever value is lower, assessed value or real market value.

Since 1997, real market values have generally increased much more quickly than the 3 percent annual increase in maximum assessed value. The real estate market crash sent real market values into a downward spiral, and many are now lower than the Measure 50 assessed value.

Last year, approximately 612 of the property tax appeals in Deschutes County resulted in lower tax bills, The Bulletin has reported. Those appeals reduced the total assessed value of properties by more than $21 million, according to calculations based on information from Beckey Nelson, clerk for the Board of Property Tax Appeals. The taxes based on those assessed values declined accordingly.

Neighbors’ bills cited Two property owners appealing their tax bills in Deschutes

Path to technology Kenneth Harry Olsen was born in Bridgeport, Conn., on Feb. 20, 1926, and grew up with his three siblings in nearby Stratford. His parents, Oswald and Elizabeth Svea Olsen, were chil-

County said they are doing so because their neighbors have received lower tax bills for similar properties.

Jerry Sorensen, of Sisters, said this was the first time he and his wife appealed their assessed value, which has resulted in a tax bill “a couple hundred (dollars) higher” than their neighbors’ bills.

“We decided to appeal because our neighbors’ taxes are much lower than ours, and the homes are much more expensive,” Sorensen said. “It didn’t make any sense.”

John McDonald, of Redmond,

dren of Norwegian immigrants.

Olsen and his younger brother Stan lived their passion for electronics in the basement of their Stratford home, inventing gadgets and repairing broken radios.

After a stint in the Navy at the end of World War II, Olsen headed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering. He took a job at MIT’s new Lincoln Laboratory in 1950 and worked under Jay Forrester, who was doing pioneering work in the nascent days of interactive computing.

In 1957, itching to leave academia, Olsen, then 31, recruited a Lincoln Lab colleague, Harlan Anderson, to help him start a company. For financing they turned to Georges Doriot, a renowned Harvard Business School professor and venture capitalist.

According to Colony, Digital became the first successful venturebacked company in the computer industry. Anderson left the company shortly afterward, leaving Olsen to put his stamp on it for more than three decades.

In Digital’s often confusing management structure, Olsen was the dominant figure who hired smart people, gave them responsibility and expected them “to perform as adults,” said Edgar Schein, who taught organizational behavior at MIT and consulted with Olsen for 25 years. “Lo and behold,” he said, “they performed magnificently.”

One crucial employee was Gordon Bell, a DEC vice president and the technical brains behind many of Digital’s most successful machines. “All the alumni think of Digital fondly and remember it as a great place to work,” said Bell, who went on to become a principal researcher at Microsoft.

After he left Digital, Olsen began another startup, Advanced Modular Solutions, but it eventually failed. In retirement, he helped found the Ken Olsen Science Center at Gordon College, a Christian school in Wenham, Mass., where an archive of his papers and Digital’s history is housed. His family announced his death through the college.

Olsen’s wife of 59 years, EevaLiisa Aulikki Olsen, died in March 2009. A son, Glenn, also died. Olsen’s survivors include a daughter, Ava Memmen, another son, James; his brother Stan; and five grandchildren.

to ask child care providers how the plan would affect them. The committee is also working with community groups that might be able to offer after-school care on Wednesday afternoons. That effort would build on Choice Friday, the program that volunteers launched to provide activities for the district’s students during the 2009-10 four-day school week schedule.

also said he’s appealing the assessed value on his tax bill to bring it in line with what nearby property owners are paying.

“When we found out what everybody else was paying — some of them had been lowered — we wanted to have the same opportunity,” McDonald said.

McDonald declined to say what the difference was between his tax bill and those of this neighbors.

CALIFORNIA

Commutation favor shadows Schwarzenegger’s reputation The Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Arnold Schwarzenegger’s last-minute decision to grant clemency in a manslaughter case to the son of a key ally has set off a political furor in California and threatened to tarnish the former governor’s legacy as a reformer and bigthinking environmental steward.

Schwarzenegger cut the 16year manslaughter sentence in half for 21-year-old Esteban Nuñez just hours before leaving office last month, despite the fact that he had pleaded guilty months earlier in the stabbing death of a student in 2008. The decision has angered law enforcement and the family of the victim and has led to lawsuits and three proposed pieces of legislation that would take away a governor’s last-minute clemency authority.

Fellow Republicans are among the most enraged by Schwarzenegger’s commutation of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, the Democrat who helped broker Schwarzenegger’s

biggest environmental accomplishments and became a trusted political ally.

“The governor’s power to commute sentences is important, but it is disturbing that the power can be abused in a way that undermines victims’ rights and the public’s trust,” Assemblyman Allan Mansoor, R-Costa Mesa, wrote in a letter to Schwarzenegger.

The Contra Costa Times was one of many newspapers that slammed Schwarzenegger’s decision, calling it a “shameful end to Schwarzenegger’s failed leadership.”

“In the end, it turns out that Arnold Schwarzenegger was not only a failure as a governor, he was just another sleazy politician willing to override the criminal courts to benefit his friends,” the newspaper wrote in an editorial.

The criticism, upcoming court hearings and legislative debates threaten to further tarnish Schwarzenegger’s reputation, beyond the political moves he made as governor. It also comes as

Schwarzenegger aides are floating his name as a possible appointee to head President Obama’s office of energy and climate change policy.

In reducing the sentence, Schwarzenegger noted that Nuñez had no prior criminal record before the 2008 fight and that Nuñez was not the one who stabbed Luis Santos, the 22-year-old college student who died. Schwarzenegger called Nuñez’s sentence “excessive” because he received the same sentence as Ryan Jett, who was already on felony probation for possessing a sawedoff shotgun, and who actually stabbed Santos.

Nuñez had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and assault charges to avoid a possible life term in the stabbing in San Diego.

Prosecutors said Nuñez and his friends were irate after being turned away from a fraternity party and were looking for revenge.

After drinking alcohol, they headed out on the street and came upon an unarmed group that included Santos, prosecutors said.

Governor abandons plan to sell 11 state properties, ends talks

By David Siders McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday abandoned California’s planned sale of 11 state office properties and concluded a flurry of talks with lawmakers as he presses against a budget deadline next month.

Brown had counted on $1.2 billion in revenue from the building sale in his January budget plan, and canceling it increased the state’s already-yawning budget deficit to $26.6 billion.

Brown said he would make up for lost revenue by borrowing $915.5 million from various

reserve accounts and smaller amounts from prison construction and Medi-Cal funds. The state will repay the funds by 2014, he said.

The announcement came between hours of private talks between Brown and lawmakers of both parties in their caucuses Tuesday and Wednesday. The Democratic governor is trying

by March to reach a budget deal with the Legislature, proposing $12.5 billion in spending cuts and a June ballot measure to extend temporary tax increases on vehicles, income and sales.

At a Capitol news conference, Brown described progress with

the Legislature as “positive,” but he said, “I don’t think we’ve hit that moment of truth yet, where cuts and the tax extensions have to have people’s names behind them.”

Brown said, “That will be the moment that we’ll really know.”

Brown’s decision to abandon the controversial building sale was expected. He called it “not prudent” last year and, as state attorney general, he declined to defend the transaction against a court challenge.

On Wednesday he called the sale a “gigantic loan” and the “ultimate in kicking the can down the road.”

The 21-year-old is the second American finisher in the super-G race, behind Bode Miller From wire reports GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Bend’s Tommy Ford raced to a 14th-place finish on Wednesday in the men’s super-G at the Alpine World Ski Championships.

Ford, 21, finished just two spots behind top American Bode Miller, who lost a pole and finished 12th.

Ford was coming off a career-best 11th place in a World Cup super-G this past weekend in Austria.

“These last two super-Gs are my only results in this event, so it’s been a pretty good few

weeks,” Ford said. “On this course you have to be a well-balanced and technical skier, but you also need to have your basics down and then know when to let it go — there’s a lot of tactics involved.”

Ford, who finished with a time of 1 minute, 41.06 seconds, is also expected to compete in the world championship giant slalom, Feb. 17-18.

Christof Innerhofer of Italy mastered a bumpy course to win the super-G for his first major title.

Hannes Reichelt of Austria was second and overall World Cup leader Ivica Kostelic of Croa-

tia was third.

Defending champion Didier Cuche of Switzerland missed the podium and finished fourth, while Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway failed to finish.

Miller, the Olympic silver medalist, clipped a gate with his arm and lost a pole. He maintained a fast pace and was nearly a full second ahead of the 10 previous racers. But he lost his balance coming out of a bend at the bottom, slowed down and stood up as he crossed the finish line.

BASKETBALL

With superstars missing, college hoops is finding plenty of parity

By Pete Thamel New York Times News Service

NFL Suit filed in Dallas over Super Bowl seat problems DALLAS — Ticket-holding football fans who ended up with no seats or what they considered bad views of the Super Bowl have filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones.

The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas — just two days after the big game — alleges breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices on behalf of people who ended up watching the game on TV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, or had seats the lawsuit labeled “illegitimate.”

The NFL had announced just hours before the Green Bay Packers played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday that about 1,250 temporary seats were deemed unsafe, and the league scrambled to find new seats for about 850 people. The remaining 400 were forced to watch from standing-room locations around the stadium.

Los Angeles-based attorney Michael J. Avenatti said he expects the suit to cover about 1,000 people.

Mike Dolabi, a Cowboys season ticket holder in the lawsuit, is among a group called “Founders” who paid $100,000 per seat just for the right to buy tickets. Those socalled personal seat licenses resulted in more than $100 million in revenue for Jones, according to the lawsuit, which seeks $5 million in damages.

Big water, big challenge

With NCAA Selection Sunday less than five weeks away, two vintage rivalry games Wednesday night offered a glimpse of what has been an unusual college men’s basketball season, one defined as much by missing stars as shining ones.

At the top of the bill was No. 20 North Carolina at No. 5 Duke, which lost its role as heavy national title favorite when its star freshman point guard, Kyrie Irving, a potential No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, went down with a toe injury in Inside December. But the Blue Devils • No. 5 Duke still pulled out a 79-73 win over wins battle the Tar Heels. of Tobacco The Blue Devils are still clusRoad on a tered alongside No. 1 Ohio State busy night and No. 2 Kansas as best bets to win the NCAA tournament, but in college losses at Florida State and at St. basketball, John’s have shown that Duke is Page D2 not a runaway favorite.

Also Wednesday night, No. 11 Georgetown played at No. 12 Syracuse, and the Hoyas pulled out a 64-56 victory. They are two of the better teams in the country’s most dominant conference, the Big East. But last year at this time Syracuse’s Wesley Johnson and Georgetown’s Greg Monroe, who left college early, were on their way to becoming lottery picks in the NBA draft.

This season, neither team has a talent like those.

And it’s a backhanded compliment to the league’s depth that it could land up to 11 teams in the NCAA tournament with only one player — Connecticut’s Kemba Walker — projected as a surefire firstround NBA draft pick.

The dip of Duke and the absence of elite talent have left the season heavy on parity. There is room for a traditional outsider to emerge as a Final Four interloper, the way Butler did last year, or as George Mason did in 2006.

No. 7 Brigham Young and No. 6 San Diego State loom as obvious candidates, with Belmont, George Mason, St. Mary’s, No. 21 Utah State, Cleveland State and Wichita State potential long shots.

For a few months, the Blue Devils had seemingly turned back the clock to a time when Christian Laettner and his feathered hair were the face of college basketball.

High flows on the Crooked River and other Central Oregon streams are confounding anglers this winter

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

Waist deep in the murky water, Skip Paznokas braced himself with his wading stick as the Crooked River flowed around him.

A fierce, cold wind ripped through the river canyon, further challenging the fly angler as he tried to cast a nymph to the rainbow trout and whitefish that lurked somewhere in the depths.

Water flows on the Crooked River below Bowman Dam have decreased recently, making the river fishable again but still difficult for anglers.

On Monday, the river was running at 400 cubic feet per second (cfs), down from a high of 2,000 cfs in January.

“I’m not sure exactly where (the fish) are hiding,” said Paznokas, who lives in Bend. “You’ve got to fish everything. They could be out on the edge or

Inside • More hunting and fishing coverage, Page D4 in the riffles.”

On Wednesday, the Crooked River was running more than 700 cfs.

Fishing in high flows is a challenge on any river; two other popular Central Oregon fishing rivers, the Deschutes and the Metolius, have also registered recent high flows.

On the Crooked River, that challenge is increased by muddy water and cooler water temperatures from snow melt as the Bureau of Reclamation releases water from Prineville Reservoir for flood control.

S B Track and field • Eaton honored after record performance: For the second week in a row, Bend’s Ashton Eaton has been named USA Track & Field’s athlete of the week. The 23-year-old former University of Oregon standout this past weekend bettered his own indoor heptathlon world record in Tallinn, Estonia. His point total for the two-day, seven-event competition was 6,568, topping the mark of 6,499 he set last March at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. Last week, Eaton was named USATF athlete of the week after winning the three-event Millrose Multi Challenge at the Millrose Games in New York.

Skiing • Vonn’s status questionable for championships: Lindsey Vonn is still struggling to recover from a mild concussion. So much so, the reigning overall World Cup champion likely will skip her next event at the world championships or possibly withdraw. The super-combined on Friday is probably off her schedule. “It’s not official yet, but it’s looking like that,” Vonn’s husband and chief adviser, Thomas Vonn, said Wednesday. “If she comes out tomorrow and feels great and does a fast training session we could re-evaluate, but it’s unlikely at this point that she’ll compete in combined.” Vonn crashed and landed on her head in a spectacular fall in giant slalom training a week ago in Austria.

Football • Tate Forcier transfers to Miami: Former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier has transferred to Miami. Forcier signed an aid agreement on Wednesday, making the transfer official. Under NCAA rules, he will not be eligible to play for the Hurricanes until 2012.

• League, union meet in Washington: The NFL and players union representatives met for much of the afternoon in Washington to discuss a new collective bargaining agreement. It was the second session in five days, the previous negotiations taking place in Dallas on Saturday. Another session is set for today. Neither side would comment on what was discussed or how fruitful the talks were.

Cycling • Haussler wins third stage, leads Tour of Qatar: Australian rider Heinrich Haussler of Garmin-Cervelo won a windy third stage of the Tour of Qatar and grabbed the yellow jersey from former champion Tom Boonen.

Haussler, who won the second stage on Tuesday, paced himself over the 93.5-mile circuit from the seaside town of Al Wakra to Mesaieed to win another sprint finish in 3 hours, 28 minutes, 4 seconds from countryman Mark Renshaw and Daniele Bennati of Italy.

Hockey • Malkin set for knee surgery: Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin will have surgery to repair torn knee ligaments and will be out for six months. Malkin, the 2009 NHL scoring champion and Conn Smythe Trophy winner as MVP of the playoffs, will have surgery today to repair a torn ACL and torn MCL in his right knee. General manager Ray Shero says Malkin’s rehabilitation period will take six months, and he will be ready for the start of training camp in September.

Marleau’s late goal lifts Sharks past Blue Jackets

The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — As might be expected from a team four games into a 13-day, seven-game road trip, the San Jose Sharks were late starters.

Thanks to goalie Antti Niemi, they made up for lost time.

Patrick Marleau scored from a sharp angle with 4:51 left to lift San Jose to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.

“This wasn’t the plan by any means,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. “The first period we weren’t alert, we didn’t have our legs underneath us and we weren’t very competitive. To come back was a nice thing. Our goaltender had a huge part in that.”

Niemi made 42 saves, including 28 in the final two periods.

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke’s most hated rival was running the Blue Devils off their notorious home court, so Mike Krzyzewski gathered them around at halftime and gave them a locker-room speech.

Not to fire them up. To calm them down.

Nolan Smith scored 22 of his career-high 34 points after halftime, Seth Curry finished with a season-high 22 and No. 5 Duke rallied from 16 points down to beat No. 20 North Carolina 79-73 on Wednesday night.

The Blue Devils (22-2, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 43-27 in the final minute of the first half and were down 14 at halftime before clamping down on the Tar Heels, outscoring them 50-30 in the final 20 minutes to match the second-best halftime rally in school history and keep hold of first place in the league.

“It wasn’t an X-and-O adjustment. ... They were too excited,” Krzyzewski said. “‘Nuts’ is the word. What are you guys doing? It’s not like, ‘You know, you guys aren’t playing hard.’ They’re playing hard. ... When you go like that, you’re not coordinated, and it was more to get a coordinated effort on the offensive and defensive ends.”

Tyler Zeller had 24 points and a careerhigh 13 rebounds, and John Henson added 14 points for North Carolina (17-6, 7-2), which had its five-game winning streak snapped and lost for the third straight time in college basketball’s fiercest rivalry.

“To say it’s extremely disappointing would be an understatement,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.

Kyle Singler finished with 10 points on three-of-17 shooting for Duke, but hit three important free throws in the final minute — including two with 25.2 seconds left to make it 75-70 after North Carolina had pulled within one possession.

Detroit Pistons’ Rodney Stuckey (3) shoots around Cleveland Cavaliers J.J. Hickson (21) and Anthony Parker (18) Wednesday night in Cleveland.

Cavs fall to Pistons for 26th straight loss The Associated Press CLEVELAND — Forget the NBA record, the Cavaliers are officially as bad as any team in any pro sport.

Cleveland’s losing streak reached 26 Wednesday night, matching the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ record for consecutive incompetence with a 103-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who were supposedly a beatable opponent for the bottom-dwelling Cavs.

Instead, Cleveland’s season slipped further into shame.

The Cavs (8-45) remain winless since Dec. 18 and have now dropped 36 of 37.

Their next chance to end the unimaginable slide will be on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. After that comes a home game against the road-winless Washington Wizards on Sunday.

Rodney Stuckey scored 22 to pace the Pistons, who didn’t want to be remembered as the team that let the Cavs get off the mat.

Cleveland had played well in its previous four games, losing by a combined 21 points, and actually came into the matchup favored to beat Detroit.

Continued from D1 “I tried to push on the top, but I hooked my arm pretty hard,” Miller said. “I made the recovery but then I lost my balance. I skied like I wanted on the top. But it’s a matter of finishing without making mistakes.”

His run inspired Innerhofer.

“I saw Bode Miller and I told myself that’s how I had to race, too,” he said. “Simply give your best, then you can’t reproach yourself at the finish.”

Innerhofer has only one World Cup victory to date — a downhill in Bormio in Italy in December 2008 — but he beat Reichelt by a massive 0.60 seconds, finishing in 1 minute, 38.31 seconds.

Reichelt, who won the super-G race on Saturday, clocked 1:38.91. Kostelic finished in 1:39.03.

“These races come only once every two years, so I knew I had to go all out today,” Innerhofer said. “You can’t make any sort of calculations. The course is incredible and exhausting, but I managed to keep things under control.”

Ted Ligety of the United States, who went off the course, said running early was more difficult.

“A couple of turns you get some sun,” Ligety said.

“Just in general it’s in the shade all the way down and that makes it tough when it’s that bumpy.”

Continued from D1 Leading the way was Irving, who despite playing only eight games left an indelible impression by averaging 17.4 points and 5.1 assists.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has said he is not planning for Irving’s return this season, although a small chance does remain.

Irving’s injury leveled the playing field in college basketball, said Charlie Coles, the coach at Miami University in Ohio, whose team has served as an early season appetizer for Duke, Ohio State and Kansas.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun this year,” Coles said. “I don’t think anyone is clear-cut at all, especially with Irving out.”

Irving’s talent, Coles said, is near that of John Wall, the former Kentucky guard and the top overall draft pick last year.

“Almost, almost,” said Coles, whose RedHawks upset Kentucky last year.

“But not quite John Wall. John Wall

Roy, Camby return to Blazers’ practice PORTLAND — Guard Brandon Roy returned to practice with the Portland Trail Blazers but he won’t return to the lineup this weekend as he had hoped.

The three-time All-Star, who had arthroscopic surgery on both knees a little more than three weeks ago, worked out for about a half-hour with his teammates on Wednesday. He said afterward that he did not have any pain.

“It felt good to be back out there on the floor,” said Roy, who has said that the problem with his knees is too little cartilage.

Blazers coach Nate McMillan said Roy will be eased back into the rotation and his minutes will be closely watched. There is no timetable for Roy to start playing again.

“We will work him in and make adjustments for what he can do on the floor,” McMillan said.

Roy had said earlier this week that he wanted to play this Friday when the Blazers visit Toronto.

“Maybe I got a little ahead of myself there,” Roy said.

Blazers center Marcus Camby, who also had arthroscopic surgery last month, also returned to practice. He too was limited to 30 minutes.

was just so athletic.”

Even if Irving departs for the NBA, Duke will have some blue-chip recruits to take his place. The commitment Tuesday by Alex Murphy, a forward considered a top-20 player in the 2012 high school class, to attend Duke continued a blistering recruiting run for the Blue Devils. Duke also has a commitment from the best player in the high school class of 2011, the shooting guard Austin Rivers. He is the son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and an early favorite for the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NBA draft.

Just having NBA talent on a team does not ensure success, as Texas and Wake Forest have shown in recent years. Still, it’s always hard to pick against teams that have stockpiled talent.

“Back in the good old days when Bobby Knight ruled the Big Ten, you couldn’t win the Big Ten unless you had three pros on that team,” said San Diego State coach Steve Fisher, who was a rival to Knight’s Indiana teams while Fisher coached at Michigan from 1989 to 1997. “That was a given.

That landscape has changed with people going early and all the things that go with it.”

By that standard, Duke and Kansas should be the favorites. Both currently have three potential first-round picks for the coming draft. Besides Irving, Duke has guard Nolan Smith, wing Kyle Singler and forward Mason Plumlee. Kansas is the only other team considered to have three potential first-round picks this year with the twin forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris and point guard Josh Selby.

That’s why it is tricky to project teams like Brigham Young and San Diego State deep into the tournament.

BYU’s Jimmer Fredette has treated this season like a personal Pop-aShot tournament, leading the nation in scoring at 27.6 points a game.

San Diego State looks a bit like this year’s Butler with a cast of quality seniors and a fringe lottery first-round pick in the sophomore star Kawhi Leonard. But how deep can it go?

“San Diego State can beat anyone it plays; there’s no question,” said Bill Frieder, the former Michigan and Ari-

Continued from D1 “This is going to be a difficult year for high flows,” said Bill Seitz, a member of the Central Oregon Flyfishers and a Crooked River expert.

“When the flows are high and the water temperature goes down, the trout fishing falls off. Mostly, it’s the whitefish game now.”

Downstream of Paznokas on Monday, Bend’s Troy Eckberg was working the water close to the bank as the sun emerged from behind a cloud and lit up the rugged canyon wall behind him.

“Usually they’re in the channels when the water’s lower,” Eckberg said of the fish, “so they might be on the edge now since the water’s higher. I think they move out.”

Seitz said he gets serious about fishing the Crooked River only when flows are at 400 cfs or less. And he basically forgets about the rainbow trout and homes in on whitefish, which tend to stay more active during periods of high flows.

He said he recently caught 90 whitefish in two days on the Crooked River.

Seitz said anglers should look for slower water close to the shore.

“Most people tend to overwade,” Seitz noted. “I’ll fish two to three feet from the shoreline and then ease my way out.

Even the trout move to quieter water and deeper water.”

Because insect activity is at a minimum this time of year, Seitz said he encourages anglers to fish below the water surface with nymphs size 18 or smaller. He said those same types of patterns can work on the Metolius and the Middle Deschutes.

The trick, Seitz stressed, is to use a color of nymph that the fish can locate in deep, fast-moving water. He said he recommends a black or dark brown nymph, or a Prince nymph with shiny wings.

“Flows on the Metolius are high, too,” Seitz said. “It’s the same deal: small flies, close to shore, near the bottom. You’ll catch a few trout, but it’s mostly a whitefish game — unless you’re fishing for bull trout with bigger flies.”

Seitz employs a technique called Czech nymphing, in which he uses split shot to weight the fly and guide it to the bottom of the river. The use of additional weight is prohibited on the Metolius, which is restricted to fly-fishing only.

But added weight can work to put a fly into deeper water quickly on the Crooked River and Middle Deschutes.

Because whitefish move in packs, Seitz said, if anglers find one whitefish, they might find 70. But they might need to move around a lot until they find the type of water in which the fish are located.

“Don’t fish the water you would in the summer or spring, because they’re into deeper water,” Seitz said.

He added that he prefers fishing the Crooked River when the flows are between 100 and 200 cfs.

But for now, anglers are making do.

“Two hundred (cfs) is about right,” said Eckberg on Monday as he cast upstream in a river that was flowing at twice that rate.

“I like it a little bit lower, but it’s nice to get out on the water in early February.”

zona State coach. “But can a program with their tradition win six games (in the NCAA Tournament) when they have to go against the Dukes and Kansases?”

No league has hemorrhaged more high-end talent than the Big East the past two seasons, when 10 players from the league made the openingday NBA rosters. But the league’s projected down year never materialized.

The Big East blew away the competition in the preseason tournaments and could end up smashing its own record of sending eight teams to the NCAA tournament.

And as Georgetown and Syracuse chase a first-place Pittsburgh team short on elite talent but long on cohesiveness and toughness, the conference has emerged as a reflection of college basketball itself. With the missing stars looming large, it is difficult to predict who will be shining at the Final Four in Houston come April. And that’s why this closing stretch of games could be college basketball at its fickle, unpredictable best.

Hunting chukar side by side, with double-barrel shotguns G A RY LEWIS

W

hen Spencer Tabor called and told me he’d borrowed a Smith and Wesson side-by-side shotgun from my friend Keith Kearcher, I told him I was on my way over.

Then I called Bill Herrick.

He had an old “working man’s gun,” a 12-gauge W. Moore with Damascus-twist barrels and exposed hammers. Hand-checkered and hand-engraved, it probably sold for $7 back in the late 1890s. For our hunt, Herrick would stoke it with brass cases and 3 grams of FFG blackpowder over 1¼ ounce of shot.

Side by side, we’d shoot the new 13-station walk-through sporting clays course, then hunt chukar and quail, the three of us with our old-school double-barreled side-by-sides.

Our hunting groups are larger than they used to be. Spencer enlisted Gene Adams of Stormy Weather Kennels. My old friend John McDevitt was there, as well as Robin Tabor, Eli Pyke and Sam Pyke, to check out Jeff Potts’ Skybercam, a remote-controlled video-equipped helicopter. Tami Potts and Cliff Koenig were along to help him run it.

We wanted to get bird’s-eye video of the walk-through course at the Central Oregon Sporting Clays and Hunting Preserve north of Bend. Spencer said he wanted me to teach him to shoot the new double.

I should have known what would happen. At the first stand, where the targets were easy left-to-rights and right-to-lefts, I cracked the first clay, then missed the next seven. The bigger the audience, the faster my shooting deteriorates.

Spencer shot next and powdered the clays. Maybe I’m a good teacher, or maybe it was home-field advantage. Bill Herrick said he’d never hit anything with his blackpowder shotgun before, but he managed to break

50 percent.

Jeff Potts operated the remote control for the mini-helicopter.

Tami sat in their Suburban, her eyes glued to the video feed, the control for the video unit in her hands. Together, the two powered the chopper aloft, then oriented it to the action.

I stepped back into the shooting house and concentrated on moving the gun through the shot.

The orange targets returned to the dust from whence they had been made, and my ragged selfesteem improved.

We moved to station two, where the clays drifted in like high-floating curve balls or, when the wind was behind them, like mid-September doves. I got my feet set, leaned into the gun and broke the targets.

Station 10 consisted of a midi, a tiny orange disk that hooked through the junipers, and a “rabbit” that bounced like the Easter Bunny on crack.

We swapped guns and I ended up with the 110-year-old 12gauge in my hands. I eared back the hammers, shouted “Pull,” and the rabbit came tearing out of the gully.

It bounced high; I squeezed and lost it in the smoke. No one spoke, which I took to mean I had missed. But then the midi came hurtling out of the junipers.

I gave it twice the lead I’d give a smokeless powder gun and at the shot, I heard the guys cheer.

We put the Skybercam chopper away and headed out to the field.

It had been some time since I

had hunted with Rio and Faith, Gene Adams’ German shorthair pointers. They walked side by side at heel on their master’s left, touching his leg, looking up at him, aquiver with anticipation.

On Gene’s right walked Parker, the English Cocker that makes his living as a flusher. At a word, the dogs began to hunt.

When Rio pointed, Faith stopped too, honoring the other dog. Parker charged in and the chukar went straight away. Audience or no, I had my feet right, my posture right and the gun in motion. The bird folded.

It was the third flush when Bill Herrick went into action. He fired the first barrel and the quail kept flying. He would have fired the other barrel, but he couldn’t get the second hammer cocked in time.

In the middle of the field, the dogs locked up again. Gene tapped Parker on the head and in he went. The chukar leapt from the rye and the old double-barrel spoke. When the smoke drifted away, there was Parker, a chukar in his mouth, bringing the bird to hand.

When we hit the tree line, the dogs had their heads up, which meant the birds were running.

Ahead of us, I saw a quail, then another and another. A bobwhite broke toward Herrick, and he dropped it.

A chukar hot-footed it ahead of me and the footrace was on.

After a 100-yard dash, it took to the air. I put on the brakes and brought the gun up, only to miss twice going away.

I suppose if I’d been shooting a semi-auto or a pump with a third shot opportunity, I may have had a chance to redeem the first two misses and the long-distance chase. But that would have robbed my buddies of the opportunity to have a belly laugh at my expense. They seemed to enjoy it.

Water rumbles over Steelhead Falls on the Deschutes River as reporter Heidi Hagemeier looks on. The falls lie about a half mile from the Steelhead Falls Trailhead.

isiting Steelhead Falls requires a certain doggedness.

The lovely stretch of the Deschutes River isn’t listed in William Sullivan’s books chronicling myriad hiking trails in Oregon. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management owns the parcel but doesn’t say much about it on its website. Getting to Steelhead Falls requires navigating the maze that is Crooked River Ranch. Our outdated directions left us searching for roads that didn’t exist and circling so frequently that only the snow-capped peaks to the west kept us oriented.

But the destination provides such a payoff.

Perched between an often frothing Deschutes below and rocky pinnacles above, the Steelhead Falls Trail follows the water downstream for about a mile and a half before coming to a dead end. Along the journey are tranquil fishing and picnic spots, majestic High Desert canyon walls and, of course, the falls.

About a half mile into the hike, the entire river

plummets about 20 feet. Water sprays into the air, dancing in the sunlight and misting hikers taking in the scene from the viewpoint.

It seems impressive that steelhead once made it up and over the foaming cascade. But they did, until dams built downstream blocked the journey. There are even the remnants of a battered rock wall in the river that was a fish ladder decades ago, helping steelhead get around the falls in low-water months.

Though temp ‘feels closer to February,’ weekend forecast could be hit or miss

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Finally, a little bit of good news about the snow-starved higher elevations.

Early this week, a few inches of snow fell on mid- and upperelevations of the Deschutes National Forest, generally in areas west of U.S. Highway 97 and above 4,800- to 5,300-foot elevations, according to Chris Sabo, trails specialist for the Deschutes National Forest.

“While a few inches of snow this time of year is nothing to write home about, it is an improvement over the past two weeks,” Sabo wrote in his regular trail update. Rain and warmer temperatures in past weeks have cleared out a lot of snow, leaving mid- and lower-elevation trails quite patchy or bare.

“Temps have cooled again and even feel closer to Februarylike, and those higher elevations with

“While a few inches of snow this time of year is nothing to write home about, it is an improvement over the past two weeks.”

— Chris Sabo, Deschutes National Forest trails specialist

4 to 5 inches of new snow are a welcome sight,” Sabo wrote.

Dutchman Flat, at 6,350-feet elevation, had 4 to 5 inches of new snow as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Sabo, and the Elk Lake area, at 4,900-feet elevation, has 46 inches of snow with 5 inches of fresh.

Nordic skiers, snowshoers and snowmobilers should remain wary of inadequate trail coverage. Hazards such as rocks, stumps and logs are most prevalent on the lower- and mid-elevation trails.

Wanoga Snoplay area, at 5,400 feet, received only 1 inch of new snow and is still icy and rough, so sledding may be poor.

Freeze-thaw cycles are ex-

pected in coming days, so ski trails such as those at Virginia Meissner Sno-park, at 5,350 feet, or Swampy Lakes Sno-park, at 5,800 feet, could be icy and hard in the mornings and softer in the afternoons. The weekend forecast is calling for a mix of rain and snow, meaning conditions could get worse or better.

Sabo also noted that Vista Butte Sno-park trails will be closed Mondays through Fridays in February due to logging operations along the Cascade Lakes Highway. The Vista Butte Snopark will be open over the weekend, but Sabo said skiers and

snowshoers should expect to walk the first 300 to 400 feet of the trail, which is rough with debris and equipment tracks. Beyond that point the trails should be undisturbed.

And for those who forgo snow and head east for some High Desert hiking, a seasonal wildlife closer is in effect on the Dry River Canyon, about 20 miles out of Bend.

Signs will be posted during the closure.

Teen outcast can’t learn social skills all by himself

Mensah tries to bring heart into ‘Spartacus’

By Luaine Lee

‘Spartacus: Gods of the Arena’

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Dear Abby: You assured “Overwhelmed in Ohio” (Dec. 18) that fellow student “Dan” will “move on and start building a life” after high school is over. On what base might he build? Because “Overwhelmed” says Dan is an “outcast” whom everyone treats as invisible, and he has attached himself to the one person who has befriended him, it appears he has completely missed the normal teen social-learning process. How, then, is he supposed to have acquired the social skills necessary for building connections later in life?

There’s a difference between being unpopular and being ostracized. An unpopular kid can participate in social situations with similar kids. A kid who is shunned cannot. Unfortunately, Dan may be on a path toward lifelong social illiteracy and isolation.

What needs to happen before “Overwhelmed” pulls away is for the adults in charge of this school to figure out why Dan has been ostracized, and develop an effective remedy for the situation — one that gets Dan into normal relationships with other people.

And there should also be lessons about empathy provided to the students who are shunning him.

— Knows From Experience Dear Knows: Thank you for your insight. Read on: Dear Abby: High school can be a cruel time for many young people, especially those deemed “outcasts” by their peers. I had a friend in high school who truly suffered. I made it my mission to make sure he felt he had a friend and wasn’t completely alone. I hung out with him at lunch, at the library on weekends, and tried to include him in activities I was involved in. I defended him to those who called him names, and although I was younger than he, I felt like his protector.

Now, eight years later and living in different states, we are still friends. He told me recently that I was the only reason he didn’t at-

DEAR ABBY tempt suicide in high school. He said I had saved his life by just taking a few moments out of my day to say hello or hang out with him. At the time I didn’t realize the lifeline I was extending.

— Lucy in Oakland, Calif.

Dear Abby: My teenage son was similarly “invisible” to most of his classmates and it led to deep depression and anxiety. He is now at a school with other kids who have social learning disorders — a broad class that includes Asperger’s syndrome and a general failure to observe and respond to social cues.

If Dan falls into this category, he needs the help of both the adults and teens in his life. There is also effective therapy available for social learning disorders, and a decent school counselor should be able to help Dan and his parents find it.

— Mom of a Formerly Invisible Teen Dear Abby: Dan might be autistic, which could explain his behavior. I have an autistic son who is high functioning. His social skills seem immature and he appears “geeky.” People have shunned and teased him because of it.

After managing to develop some friendships in band (which, by the way, has some of the best geeky kids who accept others) and a church high school group, his social skills improved. But he needs those kids who overlook his quirkiness and befriend him to help him build confidence. They do exist; you just have to sometimes search for them.

If Dan starts feeling more accepted by others, it may lessen his dependence on “Overwhelmed.”

— Jann in Texas

PASADENA, Calif. — Actor Peter Mensah is an imposing presence. Nearly 6-foot-4, erect, with skin the color of burnished leather and a body like a Greek sculpture, you can see why he was cast as the supreme gladiator in the “Spartacus” cycle.

Having finished the first season, Starz is airing the prequel, “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” in which Mensah plays Oenomaus.

Though an athlete most of his life, Mensah doesn’t think about his physicality when it comes to acting.

“The process is kind of about playing a person going through experiences, and all sorts of people — no matter what their physical presence or being — will go through all sorts of situations,” he said.

“So I tend to focus more on just being believable, traveling through the journey in front of me, whether I’m physically what you’d expect or not doesn’t matter to my mind. And when I do that, it appears to at least allow whoever is trying to create the piece to decide whether or not this is an interesting take on the character ... regardless of the exterior, my job is to bring to life this person.”

Like his character there’s a whole lot more to Mensah than meets the eye. Born to Ghanaian parents, he grew up in England where his parents emphasized academics, he says.

“I was fine to do anything as long as I got good grades.

So I guess what that did, it

His dad is an engineer; his mother, a writer who now runs a school in Ghana.

“The other thing, I was also an athlete,” he said. “I was a very busy child. There was always one thing or another after school and some event on the weekends.

“We’ve had conversations today about how physical the show is and the role is. It’s all of those things. But the thing I find that’s really interesting to me as an actor, as opposed to an athlete doing this, is that it’s a very touching human story and the character carries the weight of so much suffering with him. And that’s what I find really interest-

ing to work with. He’s training men in the art of killing in an environment where human life — especially a slave’s life — is given away so easily. So in order to do that and have some heart has been a great challenge. I’ve loved it.”

The man who appeared in “Avatar,” “The Incredible Hulk” and “Hidalgo” cut the cord from Mother England eight years ago and headed for Hollywood.

Mensah admits it takes daring to be an actor. “Because the job requires I put myself out there and just lay it open. It is a courageous thing to do for a living because you are emotionally bare at times; even this character requires me to be really disciplined personally and emotionally. Am I

disciplined? I can be disciplined.

Am I always? No,” he said.

Unmarried, he says he and his girlfriend split up because he was never home. “Career-wise that’s good, but it’s also revealing because these are the things that reveal what you care about, and so it definitely starts to weigh when you realize if you keep doing it this way, what’s going to happen.

“I also recognize the blessing of having this enormous task and job and world-life experience. It’s sort of a continuation of the things I mentioned — travel. I pretty much had the opportunity to travel to the end of the Earth doing my craft.”

Mensah has not forgotten his roots in Ghana. “We built a school 13 years ago now. It’s a credit to my mother and my sister, who teaches there as well, because we started with three kids and now we have over 700 children, and it’s such a credit to the amount of effort they put in.

“It’s also a great reference for me,” he added, “because this is an industry in which we can forget about the rest of the world. I get to, every week, go through with my family what we need, the issues, listen to the stories of the kids and it certainly brings things into balance.”

Bieber on the cover?

Are you MAD? Yep

By Matt Moore The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — There is no doubt that Justin Bieber is everywhere.

From the latest Best Buy Super Bowl ad with Ozzy Osbourne to the film “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” to hit singles online, on the air and everywhere else, the so-called Beliebers have elevated the mop-topped Canadian to dizzying heights of stardom.

Now, he’s about to come back to Earth: MAD magazine’s longtime public face, Alfred E. Neuman — with his big ears and goofy grin — sports a Bieberesque bowl of hair on the cover of the Feb. 16 issue. The headlines: Justin Bieber. “HIS STUPID HAIR! HIS DUMB BOOK! “HIS TERRIBLE MOVIE! HIS AWFUL MUSIC!” Bieber has already been on the cover of Vanity Fair, certainly no easy accomplishment.

“That was probably the highlight of his career and being on the cover of MAD is the lowlight,” John Ficarra, editor in chief of MAD, said with a laugh and, just maybe, a snort.

But it may also be another step in the singer’s saturation of all things media and of course, making the cover of the longpublished magazine that has been pushing humor, pathos and Alfred E. Neuman for nearly six decades is certainly nothing to

Ficarra said it made sense to put the 16-year-old singer on the cover of issue No. 508 and then playfully mock and satirize him within the pages, too.

“We like to do what we call Zeitgeist covers. When we found that his movie was debuting just about the same time we would be coming with the issue,” it all fell into place, Ficarra said. “We knew he’d be all over the place.”

As for Bieber’s reaction to the cover, he did not immediately answer e-mail requests from The Associated Press for comment.

Jude Law, Sienna Miller Jason Lee offers reward split up for second time for stolen Hopper pic LONDON — Sienna Miller’s spokeswoman says the actress and Jude Law have split up for a second time.

Publicist Tori Cook said We d n e s d a y that 29-yearold Miller and the 38-year- Jude Law old “Sherlock Holmes” star are no longer in a relationship.

The couple met on the set of “Alfie” in 2003 and later became engaged, but separated after Law admitted a fling with his children’s nanny in 2005. They resumed their relationship in 2009. Law has three children with his ex-wife, actress and designer Sadie Frost.

Lindsay Lohan charged with theft of necklace LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors have charged Lindsay Lohan with felony grand theft over the theft of a $2,500 necklace.

The 24-year-old actress was charged Wednesday and is due to be arraigned later in the day.

Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, has denied the necklace was stolen.

Prosecutors are asking that bail be set at $20,000.

Police began investigating Lohan for the theft after a store in the beachside community of Venice reported it missing on Jan. 22.

LOS ANGELES — Jason Lee is offering a $25,000 reward for the return of a stolen photograph of the late Dennis Hopper.

Lee’s black-and-white Polaroid of the iconic “Easy Rider” actor and director was on display as part of an exhibit in Los Angeles when it was swiped Saturday night.

Lee’s publicist, Nancy Iannios, said Sunday that an unidentified person grabbed the 8x10 photo from the wall and ran out the front door of the gallery in the Highland Park neighborhood.

Iannios says the “My Name is Earl” star has a sentimental attachment to the picture and will pay $25,000 for its safe return, no questions asked.

Film of Beatles’ first U.S. concert to screen LOS ANGELES — This week is the 47th anniversary of the Beatles’ first U.S. visit and their initial appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” that plunged the country into the deep end of Beatlemania.

Two days after that seismic telecast, the Fab Four played their first bona fide concert on U.S. soil at the Coliseum in Washington, D.C., an event that was shown in movie theaters around the country in a closed-circuit telecast that has never been widely broadcast since.

But Friday, the American Cinematheque will show the film of the entire concert for the first time since it was seen back in 1964.

For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011: This year, you are on top of many issues. Stop and take personal inventory more often. Your feelings could be building up, making you perhaps accident-prone or sick.

You have the ability to mobilize a lot of energy and frustration into exercise, work or any physical outlet. If you are single, you might be uncomfortable with a fast pace, which on another level you like.

Your potential suitors pick up on this ambivalence. If you are attached, your clarity will be instrumental to the well-being of your relationship.

TAURUS often cannot or does not participate in your wild moments.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Curb going overboard. In a meeting, others seem to want a group commitment. You might be evaluating the true costs. Make other suggestions and/or decide to go on your own path. A negative loved one or friend could rain on your parade.

Tonight: Join a friend. Go to a game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You are strong, but dealing with another person’s difficult mood could be less than pleasant. Authority figures are irritated at best. Let their words go. Expect a change in attitude. For now, walk away from

difficult people. Tonight: Pushed to the max, choose a stress-buster.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have a lot more to say.

Stretch and seek new information.

Someone might not have given you the big picture. Anger builds around a person at a distance.

Know when to walk away from someone, at least for a little while.

Tonight: See the big picture.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Work with individuals. You might suddenly find yourself in the position of leader, whether titled or not. Can you take action and move in a new direction? Knowing what you want could make a big difference. Tonight: Try to stay calm with a frustrated person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Others make demands. You deliver time after time. A partner, associate and/or friend could test your limits inadvertently. Don’t hesitate to say “enough.” Resist pushing someone who has a short fuse across the line. Tonight: Could be late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Seek out solutions, especially as others seem to be chasing their tail. Be logical and direct in your dealings. Your funds might not stretch as far as you would like.

Curb a tendency to over-indulge someone close to you. Tonight: Treat your mind to a stress-buster.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Deal with a key person in your life. Listen to what this person says, but also understand why you might be triggered. Use this situation to clear up an emotional issue but also to creatively sleuth out a solution.

You could feel out of sync with what is happening. Tonight: Talk to a trusted

friend. Gain a new perspective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others create an environment in which they push for what they want without worrying about others. Getting the support of others could be more important than you realize. In a meeting, battle out the pluses and minuses.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Pace yourself. A difficult situation could evolve into a confrontation if you aren’t careful.

Remember, everyone has a different style of clearing out a problem. Emotions tend to go to the extreme; many people seem to overindulge and go overboard.

Tonight: Squeeze in a walk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could walk into a firestorm and know that everything is OK. You know how to quell the flames and you trust your innate creativity to find a solution. Use care with spending. You easily could go overboard. Tonight: Start your weekend early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Process your thoughts or discharge them with a quiet talk with the person involved. Otherwise, you could be involved in quite an angry confrontation. Use care with a real estate or emotional matter.

Try to separate work from your personal life. Tonight: Head home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep talks active and open.

The biggest problem would be to close down a person, who will then not share his or her feelings. Flow with opportunities. Don’t let a lucky break fall away. Tonight: Hang out with a pal. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Tim Neville / For The Bulletin

The Deschutes River runs through the Steelhead Falls Wilderness Study Area near Crooked River Ranch. The trail draws hikers and anglers alike.

If you go What: Steelhead Falls Trail Getting there: From Terrebonne, turn West on Northwest Lower Bridge Way. Proceed a little more than 2 miles, then turn right on Northwest 43rd Street. Take that about 1.8 miles to Chinook Drive.

From Chinook Drive, proceed just less than a mile and then turn left onto Badger Road. In a little more

than a mile, turn right on Sage Hen Road. After about a half a mile, turn left on Ermine Road. Soon afterward turn left on Quail Road. Take Quail less than half a mile to River Road and turn right. Proceed on River Road downhill to the Steelhead Falls Trailhead.

Cost: Free Difficulty: Easy Contact: 541-416-6700

Continued from E1 Of course, fish restoration efforts for the Deschutes, Crooked and Metolius rivers are now in full swing. The massive fish tower at the mouth of the Middle Deschutes and Crooked rivers in Lake Billy Chinook is now operating, helping fish return to their native spawning habitat.

There are steelhead in the river below Steelhead Falls, planted nearby through restoration efforts. But they are still young, living the roughly first three years of their lives there before heading downstream to the ocean.

It captures the imagination

to think of fish leaping from the bottom of these falls again.

Within the next five years, this is possible.

The trail holds other charms besides the falls.

BLM manages this section as a Wilderness Study Area, so the tread of civilization is minimal.

The agency is obviously trying to repair what tread there has been, with work along the trail to contain erosion and efforts to block side trails other visitors created.

Gnarled junipers stand sentinel along the trail, and geology fans will marvel over the strata in the cliffs above.

On a warm, winter Super Bowl Sunday, we watched a raptor or

two soar above the canyon. We took a load off about a mile in, enjoyed a bit of lunch and let our daughter touch the icy water.

Mainly, we inhaled the High Desert solitude found this close

Last year, some of Central Oregon’s sickest patients visited the ER 20 to 30 times each, costing the system

hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tap benefits of water running Give your muscles a workout without the harsh impact of land

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Standing on the deck overlooking the deep end of the indoor pool at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, instructor Cherie Touchette held her stopwatch and called to her water running class: “Eighty percent exertion for 60 seconds! Go!”

To the observer, the class looked like a herd of upright people, slowly moving in circles around the deep end of the pool. But under the water, their legs churned hard against the resistance of the water. Between bouts of intense effort, Touchette allowed 15-second intervals of slow-pace running for recovery, as in a track workout.

But in a water running class, the intervals are based on minutes, not miles. Effort is based on the individual’s perception, not speed.

Kathleen Dolan, 62, right, had trouble getting medical care until she found the medical home project at Mosaic last year.

Now she’s healthier thanks to her care coordinator, Charlene Hunt, left. Medical homes are gaining popularity across the country as a way to take care of the sickest patients.

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Mosaic Medical set out to reduce those numbers by 5 percent.

It exceeded expectations, saving $35,000 on average per month.

Better care for the

S

toughest patients

everal years ago, Kathleen Dolan said, medical bills drove her into bankruptcy and homelessness.

The 62-year-old Bend resident and former home health aide suspected she had heart problems and knew she should see a doctor. Still, she felt she couldn’t afford it, so she went without any medical care for more than two years.

A stroke at the end of 2009 left her with no choice.

Dolan was back into the health care system and, as she put it, “making big bills.”

She had massive heart problems and needed a defibrillator implanted in her chest. Dolan was likely to be making big bills for a while.

This time, though, instead of spiraling downward, she was caught. She began going to Mosaic Medical clinic in Bend and was enrolled in a program there to help patients like Dolan with major

health issues.

Mosaic is one of several new programs in the area built on a simple but startling revelation: The medical system does not work very well for its sickest patients.

Here, and across the country, programs known as medical homes are growing in popularity because they promise a better way to get health care to these patients. At least three Central Oregon clinics, including Mosaic, are running pilot projects with medical homes.

And though the programs are still new, early evidence shows they are hugely successful.

MEDICINE

Little bloodsuckers make big comeback in medicine

By Meredith Cohn The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Marc Miller survived a motorcycle crash in October near his Baltimore County, Md., home, but his foot had been dragged along the pavement and badly damaged.

That injury would require both the most advanced medicine and an ancient therapy — leeches.

Trauma doctors at Johns Hopkins, the University of Maryland and other U.S. hospitals routinely use leeches as a temporary measure to keep blood flowing as new vessels grow in a damaged area. The animals

kept blood moving in and out of a new skin flap sewn onto Miller’s foot. They also can get blood flowing to amputated digits that are reattached. And because the leeches’ saliva has a natural anesthetic, some doctors now are looking to use them to ease pain.

“They can be the difference in whether the tissue lives or dies,” Dr. Scott Lifchez, who treated Miller and is section chief of plastic surgery at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, said about the blood-sucking worms.

N Go to dark chocolate side of candy, but don’t go far

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

The nutritional value of chocolate seems a timely topic as we approach Valentine’s Day, a holiday inextricably linked to chocolate consumption. Perhaps the discussion will alleviate some guilt for those who want to nibble a little.

Studies have shown chocolate can be good for you in some pretty important ways. But that’s not a license to overindulge. You must choose the right kind of chocolate and eat it in moderation.

Eating chocolate can benefit cholesterol and blood sugar for Type 2 diabetics, said RanDee Anshutz, a registered dietitian at St. Charles Bend. Studies show it can improve arterial blood flow, decrease blood pressure and prevent blood clotting. Some claims say it can improve mood and sleep, she said.

But not all chocolate is created equal. The healthiest kind of chocolate is the very darkest, which is more bitter than the typical candy bar in the grocery store and not as pleasing to everyone’s taste buds.

The health benefits come from the antioxidants, called polyphenols, which are compounds found in fruits and vegetables.

(Chocolate originates as a plant.

See “Where Hershey’s chocolate comes from.”) Dark chocolate and cocoa are particularly high in a category of polyphenols called flavanols, which are also found in red wine and green tea.

The flavanols in dark chocolate and cocoa are key to heart health because they deactivate what are called free radicals, which can aggravate the bad cholesterol in your blood and contribute to clogged arteries.

White chocolate has had its flavanols removed, Anshutz said, milk chocolate has a little bit of flavanols, and dark chocolate has the most.

So how do you know what to buy?

Read the labels. The darkest, healthiest chocolates are 80 percent or more cocoa. Many of the darkest chocolates boast their percentage on the front of the wrapper. Generally, the percent of cocoa (chocolate liquor, which does not contain alcohol, cocoa butter and cocoa powder) can be an indicator of the flavanol content. And generally, there’s an inverse relationship between the percent of cocoa and the amount of sugar. For example, a 60 percent cocoa bar has more sugar and is sweeter than a 70 percent cocoa dark chocolate bar. Unsweetened baking chocolate is 100 percent cocoa, contains no added sugar and has a bitter flavor.

Interestingly, American manufacturers often use a lower cocoa content, so many imported chocolates are healthier.

A Green & Black’s organic dark chocolate bar wrapper says “Dark 85%” in large letters on the front. The ingredients: chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and cocoa powder first, followed by raw cane sugar, vanilla extract, soy lecithin and whole milk powder. The wrapper says it’s made in Canada, but the company is from London. The wrapper also says that a serving of the chocolate bar, which is two-fifths of the 3.5-ounce bar (or 40 grams of the chocolate), provides 20 percent of daily required fiber.

That’s good, right?

Sure, but there’s a dark side to all this dark goodness.

Chocolate typically contains 150 or more calories per ounce, Anshutz said, and loads of saturated fat.

If a person is on a 1,800 calories-per-day plan, 180 calories or less should come from saturated fat, which is the equivalent of 20 grams or less per day. One serving of the Green & Black’s dark chocolate bar has 13 grams of saturated fat.

Also, Anshutz said, check the label to ensure the chocolate doesn’t contain any trans fat (found under “total fat” on the nutritional facts label) because trans fats have negative heart and other health implications.

Anshutz emphasized the importance of not letting chocolate take the place of other healthy

VITAL STATS Benefits of vitamin D, fish oil cause increased use Vitamin D and fish oil use continues to surge, according to results from ConsumerLab.com’s annual Survey of Vitamin and Supplement Users, which is based on more than 6,000 responses from a sampling of subscribers. It shows growth in vitamin D use in 2010 — used by 56.2 percent of those surveyed, up from 47.9 percent in 2009 — and fish oil supplements, which are used by 75 percent of those surveyed, up from 74 percent in 2009.

“The clinical news for both fish oil and vitamin D has been overwhelmingly positive and both are extremely safe when used with moderation,” according to Tod Cooperman, a doctor and the president of ConsumerLab. com, who said he uses both regularly.

Multivitamin use, however, declined to 70 percent last year from 72 percent in 2009 and 73.8 percent in 2008.

Other findings from the survey include: • Women were more likely than men to have taken vitamin D, calcium or probiotics.

• Men were more likely than women to have taken Coenzyme Q10, herbs and extracts, glucosamine/ chondroitin, vitamin E, resveratrol, amino acids, nutrition drinks and powders.

• Younger adults (ages 35 to 44) were more likely to have used a multivitamin than older adults (ages 75 to 84).

Thinkstock • Among 10 types of merchants from which people purchased their supplements, the most common was online stores, used by 46.5 percent of respondents, up from 44.1 percent in 2009.

Need more snoozing in your life?

Look for the sleep-inducing food

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Caffeine is known to keep people awake at night, as are big meals and fatty, sugary or spicy foods. On the flip side, “there is some information that certain foods help with sleep,” said Kathe Henke, Laboratory Director for the Sleep Disorders Center of Virginia in Henrico, Va. Think tryptophan. The brain uses this amino acid to make serotonin and melatonin, substances that promote sleep.

Foods high in tryptophan are protein-rich items such as dairy products, seafood, meat, poultry, whole grains, beans, lentils, peanuts, eggs and sesame seeds.

Combine protein with carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates allow more tryptophan to enter the brain, while protein-rich foods alone may interfere with sleep because they contain another amino acid that perks up the brain. Some smart combinations: peanut butter or grilled chicken on whole-wheat bread or hummus on wholegrain pita slices.

Add some calcium … Calcium helps the brain use tryptophan to create melatonin. So have a bowl of low-sugar cereal with milk, a carton of Greek yogurt or some low-fat cheese on whole-grain crackers — or that old standby, a glass of warm milk. … and magnesium. This min-

eral plays a role in serotonin production and may also help muscles throughout your body relax. Good sources include almonds, bananas, beans, spinach, soybeans and whole-grain brown rice.

Keep it light and healthy. Big evening meals, especially those high in fat, keep the digestive system churning longer. Sugary junk foods cause blood sugar to spike and then fall rapidly, which can trigger the release of stress hormones.

Grab some cherries. Tart cherries naturally boost melatonin levels, according to research from the universities of Pennsylvania and Rochester.

Eat them fresh or dried or have a small glass of cherry juice.

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Small servings of dark chocolate, which contains antioxidants, can be a healthy choice for dessert. The darkest, healthiest chocolates are 80 percent or more cocoa.

CHOCOLATE BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE Adding chocolate gently mellows the acidity of the vinegar and adds a richness to the dressing. Add to salad greens or steamed vegetables, or use as a glaze on roast chicken.

Makes 1 cup of dressing ¼ C balsamic vinegar ½ oz dark chocolate (63 percent to 85

percent cocoa) ½ C olive oil salt and pepper

Combine vinegar and chocolate over very low heat until the chocolate is melted and the vinegar reduces — about three minutes. Whisk in the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

— www dolceitalia.com and nutrient-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables, lean proteins and so on. Once you’ve met your nutrient needs for a day and still have some discretionary calories left over, it’s OK to eat small amounts of dark chocolate, she said. But eating more than the appropriate number of calories will make you gain weight.

“The moral is, if you eat chocolate, the darker the better as far as health benefits,” she said. “Try to just eat it once in a while, or if you are currently indulging

Where Hershey’s chocolate comes from Cocoa trees grow in tropical jungles from Brazil to Indonesia, the Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Cocoa trees grow melon-like fruit, inside of which 20 to 40 seeds, or cocoa beans, are found. Beans from different countries have distinct flavors.

Beans are removed from the pods and piled in heaps where they harden, darken, and the rich cocoa flavor develops.

Beans are transported to the chocolate factory, where they are cleaned and stored, roasted and hulled. The inside of the bean, or the “nib,” is what’s used to make chocolate. That nib is milled, a grinding process that turns it into a chocolate liquor, a smooth stream of pure chocolate (which does not contain alcohol.) The chocolate is then ready to be mixed with other products and molded into the desired shape.

Faced with amputation or more surgery, most patients are receptive to being treated with leeches, Lifchez says. Miller, who had once wanted to be a veterinarian, and his mother, Delores Williams, who is a nurse, both knew about leeches’ abilities and didn’t need any convincing.

“I remembered what leeches were capable of doing,” said Miller, who expects to shed his wheelchair and crutches in the spring and begin the process of relearning to walk. “I feel fortunate to have my foot. I feel very positive now.”

Lifchez said circulation is normal in Miller’s skin now. He may need another procedure to remove some fat transferred with the skin, making his foot bulge a bit. That would make it easier for his foot to fit in a shoe.

Magnets may be key to getting most out of medicine

By Amina Khan Los Angeles Times

Think your medication dosage isn’t strong enough?

No need to get a bigger pill — simply move it around in your belly. With magnets.

That’s the idea behind technology that was explored in a paper published online recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Swallowing pills may be less unpleasant than getting a shot, but pills are a bit difficult to control once they enter the gastrointestinal tract.

The body absorbs more or less medicine depending on where the pill is.

Ideally, pills could be guided to whichever spot would yield the most effect. But how to tell them where to go?

The answer: magnets. The magnet idea has been explored in other work, but this study was the first to safely control the pills’ movements in the body.

Researchers from Brown University in Providence, R.I., had albino rats take gelatin capsules containing tiny magnets.

The team used a magnet outside the body to direct the movement of the pills in the small intestine, and it used a computer to track the pills to make sure they were responding to the magnet and to ensure that as little force as possible was used, to avoid causing damage. It also took X-rays to visually track the pills’ location in the rats.

The researchers found that even after 12 hours, they could control the pill using just 1/60th of the force that would result in damage.

Medical applications are likely to be a long way off, but the study authors see research possibilities — for example, using the guidance system to test which spots are better and worse at absorbing chemicals.

KNEE REPLACEMENTS

One team hopes to take surgery to a biological level

By Mara Rose Williams McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It pained James Cook to watch his grandfather hobble on arthritic, achy knees.

The elderly man had undergone several surgeries, including one of the first knee replacements in the late 1960s.

Ultimately his joints reduced him to crutches and, in his last years, to a wheelchair. Cook said he vowed at age 8 to become a doctor or a scientist and fix it so that “no one would ever have to suffer through what my grandpa did.”

He is getting close. The professor of veterinary medicine at the University of Missouri said he thought he and team members were on the brink of changing the way the human knee was replaced. The goal, Cook said, “is to put metal and plastic joints out of business.”

He wants to take the joint replacement process from bionics to biological. The concept? Biological cartilage, specifically grown from stem cells outside the body and then shaped for insertion into the knee.

Cook, 45, has performed the procedure successfully in dogs.

The research, the result of 11 years of work, recently was written up in the medical journal The Lancet.

“If we continue to prove the safety and efficacy of this biologic joint replacement strategy, then we can get FDA approval for use of this technology for joint replacements in people,” he said.

Cook is collaborating with a tissue regeneration

research team led by professor Jeremy Mao at Columbia University, as well as a lab at Clemson University.

“The work reported in The Lancet represents the first time that an entire articular surface of a synovial joint was regenerated,” Mao said. “This was accomplished by the homing of the body’s endogenous stem cells — another first.”

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons considers knee replacements one of the most important advances of the last century. In the United States, 581,000 procedures a year are performed.

Most are done using metal or plastic replacements. Cook said he thought biological replacements would last longer, be more flexible and give the patient a better quality of life.

The process involves taking a patient’s own cells to create new cartilage and then mold it to a knee.

“The whole field of biological joint replacement is beginning to grow, and many doctors haven’t even heard about it,” said Kevin Stone, who has been doing a limited form of biological joint repair at his San Francisco clinic for a decade.

To Cook, however, “these are really treatments that patch the potholes in the joint rather than resurface the whole joint with normal cartilage and bone like ours.”

“These other treatments also are not patient-specific,” he added. “There are limitations for each of these treatments, which are what we are trying to address with ours.”

F EXERCISE TIPS BARRE3

Core work

Rob Kerr The Bulletin

Darcy Davidson, owner of barre3 exercise studio on Century Drive in Bend, demonstrates barre3 poses you can do at home. Barre3 is a unique fusion of ballet, yoga and Pilates, intended to balance, strengthen and lengthen the body.

This is the second in a series of five exercises to run in The Bulletin on Thursdays.

Target area: Core, spine, chest and shoulders.

How: Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

Put a squishy ball or rolled towel against your lower back. Sit tall, pull in your waist, round your spine and hug an imaginary beach ball.

Pressing into the towel with the lower back, let down slowly toward the floor while opening the chest and arms wide. Tuck your chin and pull your waist in while lifting back up, pretending to hug the imaginary beach ball as you rise.

Hand weights optional. Repeat 15 to 20 times.

Aerobic exercise can help protect against memory impairment

By Eryn Brown Los Angeles Times

Another reason to follow through with that New Year’s resolution: Aerobic exercise keeps the aging brain — as well as the aging body — in fighting form. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Illinois, Rice University and Ohio State showed that a program of aerobic exercise, over the course of a year, can increase the size of the hippocampus — a part of the brain key to memory and spatial navigation — in adults ages 55 to 80.

The hippocampus is known to shrink in late adulthood, leading to memory impairment.

The results were made public recently by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They back up earlier research that has shown a correlation between fitness level and brain function.

To complete the study, the team recruited 120 older people who didn’t exercise regularly. Half were randomly assigned to an aerobic exercise program, walking around a track three days a week for 40 minutes per session. The other half embarked on a stretchingand-weights program. Both groups were carefully coached and monitored. They provided

blood samples, performed spatial memory exercises and were given MRIs at the beginning, halfway point and end of the research period.

The group doing aerobic exercise had increases in hippocampus volume: up 2.12% in the left hippocampus, and 1.97% in the right hippocampus. The stretching group, on the other hand, had decreased hippocampus volume: down 1.40% on the left and 1.43% on the right.

The participants also performed spatial memory exercises. Again, the aerobic exercise group had better function by the end of the year of exercise.

Blood tests also showed an increase in the levels of brainderived neurotrophic factor, a chemical involved with learning and memory, among the walkers. Increases in hippocampal size were associated with increased amounts of brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

“We demonstrate that loss of hippocampal volume in late adulthood is not inevitable and can be reversed with moderateintensity exercise,” the team wrote, suggesting that a few laps around the track might be a particularly cost-effective way to treat a widespread health problem — without the side effects of medication.

Next week Good form while running can help prevent injuries. We’ll tell you how.

Water Continued from F1 Whether cross-training or recovering from an injury, deepwater running is an alternative way to use specific running muscles without the impact of land running. There’s a specific, correct form that Touchette describes, and it’s challenging to figure out at first. She continually reminds runners, who wear flotation belts around their waists, to hold their shoulders back, engage core muscles to stay upright, and to push their legs out behind their bodies. Their feet never touch the bottom.

Joseph Babich, a 44-year-old cyclist and runner, tried water running recently, partly because he’s trying to rehabilitate an old hamstring injury. He also is considering a triathlon and needs to cross-train.

Babich, who works for a health care supply company, said it took more than a half-hour to “get it,” to feel he was doing it right. But he thinks it could help him develop better running form. He’ll probably try it again, he said.

Touchette started the class because she practiced water running for years, during injuries and pregnancy. She knew from experience that it worked. But more recently it has been backed by research from a guru of water running, a professor and the academic chair of human performance at Linfield College, who has a doctorate in exercise physiology and biomechanics.

Garry Killgore has published studies on the biomechanics of land and water running, and on the prevention of running-related injuries. He’s held various water jobs — lifeguard, swim teacher — and has coached Linfield’s cross-country and track teams for 21 years. He has designed water running workouts as well as buoyancy suits and water running shoes that he sells through his company, AQx Sports.

Deep-water running is nothing new, he said. “I did it in the ’70s and ’80s when I was training,” said Killgore. “The coach just said, ‘Go run in the pool.’”

The coach didn’t explain how to make it most appropriate, he said.

Killgore started to wonder about the mechanics of the underwater gait. So through scientific studies that involved underwater equipment such as cameras and heart monitors, he showed a difference in land versus water running.

He determined that changing form — from toes to shoulders — could better align water runners with land-running form. A subsequent study promoted the use of shoes to increase the drag through the water and therefore increase muscular demand and energy expenditure.

All this exertion can be done even by injured runners, he said.

Take tendonitis in the Achilles tendon, for example. “Pushing off the ground is not a great thing for that. I can put them in the water and create a very similar response to what they get in an interval workout or slow dis-

Take on a cha-cha challenge

Salsa and cha-cha build endurance, and the tango improves muscle control and posture.

Any doubts about the transformative abilities of ballroom dance should be quashed after watching one season of “Dancing With the Stars” and seeing celebrities going from flabby to fit in a matter of weeks.

Sure, they’re rehearsing five to six hours a day, week after week.

But the spins, turns, lifts, kicks and fast footwork of the routines show the athleticism and technique that make up the waltz, tango, cha-cha and other dances.

“I think people are happy it’s a workout,” said Erin Stevens, president of the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association. “At the end of a class you feel like you’ve enriched your life in so many ways — you’ve burned calories and made friends and learned an art form.”

Workout intensity varies by dance, but all have something to offer. “In the rumba, which is a sensual dance, you work your

However, water running cannot mimic the forceful impact of landing, which uses muscles to stabilize a joint. Those muscles will grow weaker without land running — and be sore when land running is restarted.

“I know you can decrease the likelihood of running-related injuries,” he said. “You can get back running sooner because you’re keeping cardio and muscular strength up. It’s stimulating the nerve-muscular system, to fire in a similar pattern as running on land.”

Chuck Phinney, a 53-year-old account manager at Pacific Power, is a testament to this. After many years away from running, he started up again in early 2009.

By the end of that year, he ran a marathon. He ran another marathon the following spring. But then his knee flared up, and his injury kept him down. He started water running. Now he generally goes twice a week with his wife and other friends who gather for social time in the hot tub after class. He said there’s considerable benefit from the cross-train-

You can sometimes feel it the next day.” While she didn’t need to lose weight, she adds, “I felt like I was more fit and not as flabby.”

Most studios offering ballroom classes for pairs don’t require students to pony up a partner; dancers typically rotate partners anyway. But the ballroom craze has also spawned fitness-dance hybrid classes in which an instructor leads a roomful of people in easy choreographed steps.

Pre-term baby’s care needs may not be in coverage network

By Michelle Andrews Special to The Washington Post

Many expectant parents are pretty savvy these days about making sure that their obstetrician and the hospital where they plan to have their baby are in their health insurance network.

Using an out-of-network provider would almost certainly mean higher out-of-pocket costs: The plan might pay just 60 percent of charges, for example, instead of 80 percent or more.

However, fewer parents-to-be realize that they may be in for a nasty surprise if their baby is premature or, for some other reason, needs special care immediately after birth: The neonatal intensive care unit personnel at their in-network hospital may be out of network.

“Some hospitals do contract with other clinical provider groups to run their NICUs,” said Marie Watteau, director of media relations at the American Hospital Association. The companies that staff the NICUs may accept the same insurance carriers as the hospital, or they may not.

“When selecting a hospital, pregnant women should … verify that all hospital care, including NICU care and physician services, are in network,” said Watteau.

Nathan and Sonji Wilkes thought they had covered all the insurance bases before the birth of their son, Thomas, seven years ago. Their obstetrician and the hospital near their Englewood, Colo., home were all in network.

They checked with the health insurer that provided their coverage to estimate their out-of-pocket costs. The expected total: $400.

Thomas’ birth was uneventful.

But when hospital personnel circumcised him, he wouldn’t stop bleeding. He was given a diagnosis of hemophilia, treated and placed in the hospital’s NICU, where he received treatment to stop the bleeding and remained under observation for a day.

A few weeks later, the Wilkeses got a $50,000 bill for Thomas’ NICU stay. They learned that the unit, located on the same floor as the regular nursery and delivery rooms, was staffed by a company under contract to the hospital, and the company didn’t accept the family’s insurance plan. “We just thought it was part of the hospital,” said Nathan Wilkes.

“We had no idea that it was even an option that the NICU could be in a different network.”

About 75 percent of the infants who wind up in neonatal intensive care come in because they’re premature; the remaining 25 percent have other medical problems. In 2009, one U.S. baby in eight was born prematurely, defined as birth before 37 weeks’ gestation, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. Although the rate of premature birth has declined slightly in recent years, it’s still more than 30 percent higher than in 1981.

There are many factors associ-

ated with preterm birth, including chronic health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure and fertility treatments that result in multiple births.

An Institute of Medicine report found that medical bills and other costs related to prematurity totaled at least $26.2 billion in 2005, or $51,600 per premature infant.

Extreme example Heather Ablondi’s water broke at 25 weeks, and she delivered her daughter, Abigail, about 2½ weeks later. The doctors at Inova Fairfax Hospital, near the family’s home in Sterling, Va., told her that it was unlikely her daughter would survive. Abigail weighed just 2 pounds, 9 ounces, her lungs were immature and she had sepsis.

Abigail pulled through and is now 4 years old. But she spent the first three months of her life in the NICU and accumulated $750,000 in bills. Shortly after her birth, the hospital billing department gave Ablondi the bad news that their insurance plan might not cover all the NICU expenses because the staff was out of network. “All of this stuff you’re trying to juggle while you have a sick child,” she said.

Kimberly Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the Inova Health System, declined to comment on the Ablondi case, saying she couldn’t discuss specific patients because of privacy laws. In general, she said, most health plans in the Washington area that contract with Inova also cover the neonatology staffs. But she advised patients to consult with their health plans ahead of time to confirm if the charges would be covered.

An astute social worker alerted the family to one possible way to address the billing problem: Abigail might qualify for Medicaid, the federal-state program for lowincome or disabled patients. Under federal rules, if Abigail met certain weight and other medical criteria, she could be deemed disabled under the Supplemental Security Insurance program and thus be eligible for Medicaid.

Babies weighing less than 1,200 grams (about 2 pounds, 10 ounces) are considered disabled; Abigail weighed 1,162 grams.

People generally must meet income guidelines to qualify for Medicaid. But “while the child is in the institution, the child’s income alone is what’s looked at for Medicaid purposes,” said Mary Kahn, a spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Once she went home, Abigail was no longer eligible for Medicaid because her parents’ income was taken into consideration.

The family’s insurance policy covered the baby’s NICU stay at the out-of-network rate of 60 percent, and Medicaid took care of nearly all the rest. Including their deductible and other outof-pocket charges, Ablondi estimates the family paid $24,000 for Abigail’s birth.

The sickest patients in the health care system are people who, like Dolan, have serious illnesses or chronic diseases.

They may not know how to take care of themselves. Some of them have mental health issues or substance abuse disorders.

Many of these people do not have a primary care provider. When they do get care in a physician’s office, it may help with one aspect of their condition, but may not address other issues. Someone monitors their diabetes, for example, but does not inquire about their mental health.

These patients often end up in emergency rooms, initially because they know they can see a doctor there, and then because it becomes a habit.

The patients in Mosaic’s program were making, on average, 20 to 30 visits to the emergency room each year.

Some of these, no doubt, were for conditions that needed immediate attention. Most were not.

That kind of emergency room use is not only inefficient, it’s expensive. Even after some reimbursement from insurance, the Mosaic patients now enrolled in the program cost St. Charles Bend $400,000 in the year before the program began.

Mosaic’s program aimed to better coordinate and manage these patients. By helping patients deal with their diseases through preventive care, program coordinators thought they could both improve their health and reduce the use of expensive services, such as emergency rooms and hospitalizations.

A rare win-win When Mosaic began the medical home program last spring, the goal was to reduce hospitalizations and emergency room visits by 5 percent. By the fall, they had exceeded these targets. The patients were making 24 percent fewer emergency room visits and were hospitalized 20 percent fewer times.

As a conservative estimate, the clinic figures these patients cost $35,000 less per month.

“It’s more care from the patient perspective, but we’re also realizing these savings because you are targeting care in a more appropriate place,” said Megan Haase, executive director of Mosaic Medical. “We can have better patient outcomes, better patient satisfaction and also save money.”

Because it is seen as such a win-win, medical home projects are spreading quickly.

Bend Memorial Clinic recently began a program for a group of its Medicare patients, and High Lakes Health Care created a medical home for some of its commercially insured patients.
