When the city of Prineville received a complaint in December stating that a Nativity scene displayed at the entrance to City Hall violated the rights of non-Christians, there was concern from the community that the Nativity would disappear.

A federal subsidy that helps fund Central Oregon school districts, search and rescue efforts and wildfire prevention was included in President Barack Obama’s budget proposal Monday.

However, Unger and members of Oregon’s congressional delegation pointed out that Obama’s budget would reduce the payments each year and would not permanently fund the program. A coalition of counties and schools that receive the payments is working to find a way to make them permanent.

An ageless dance

Unlike in 2009, OSU-Cascades appears safe from chopping block

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Supporters of Oregon State University’s Cascades campus in Bend are breathing easier these days.

In the last Legislature, OSU-Cascades survived the political equivalent of a near-death experience.

Some lawmakers were intent on closing the campus to save money.

This year, the budget situation looks even worse than in 2009. But nobody seems to think the Cascades campus faces any serious danger.

The discussion in Salem has shifted toward reforming the university system as a whole, said Jock Mills, OSU’s director of government relations. A number of plans and bills have been introduced on the topic of higher education reform, and the idea has been endorsed by Gov. John Kitzhaber.

“I think last session was a learning experience for legislators, where they realized that closing a campus wasn’t going to work,” Mills said. “It was just too hard for all sorts of reasons.”

HOW THE U.S VIEWS THE INTERNET

A weapon against repression or a tool to thwart dissenters?

By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Days after Facebook and Twitter added fuel to a revolt in Egypt, the Obama administration plans to announce a new policy on Internet freedom, designed to help people get around barriers in cyberspace, while making it harder for autocratic governments to use the same technology to repress dissent.

The State Department’s policy, a year in the making, has been bogged down by fierce debates over which projects it should support.

Even more basically, there have been questions about whether to view the Internet primarily as a weapon to topple repressive regimes or as a tool that autocrats can use to root out and crush dissent.

Lead ban hits ATV, motorbike industry

By Rob Hotakainen McClatchy News Service

WASHINGTON — When members of Congress wanted to stop children from ingesting lead from toys and jewelry, they passed a sweeping law in 2008 that went further than many intended: It also banned the sale of motorbikes and all-terrain vehicles if they’re used by children and contain too much of the toxic metal.

After a series of delays, the law is set to take effect Dec. 31, which is causing much consternation in the industry.

“It seems kind of radical, I guess, to me,” said Curtis Bleile, 39, the owner of Fastrax Motorsports in Puyallup, Wash.

Responding to a slew of similar concerns, a bipartisan coalition of 43 members of Congress is out to pass bills that would permanently exclude youth-model motorbikes and ATVs from the lead ban.

In a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the federal agency assigned to enforce the ban, 11 House members said the exemption was needed because Congress never intended to include motorcycles and ATVs in the new law.

The law Congress passed bans making, importing or selling “any” product intended for children 12 and younger that contains more lead than the federal government’s new standards allow.

Shoppers should brace for a hit to the wallet Cost of most goods — from food to apparel — expected to climb

By Stephanie Clifford, Motoko Rich and William Neuman New York Times News Service

A package of Oscar Mayer cold cuts. A pair of Nine West boots.

A Whirlpool washing machine.

By the fall, people will most likely be paying more for each of them, as rising prices hit most consumer goods, say retailers, food companies and manufacturers of consumer products.

Cotton prices are near their highest level in more than a decade, after adjusting for inflation, and leather and polyester costs are jumping as well. Copper recently hit its highest level in about 40 years, and iron ore, used for steel, is fetching extremely high prices. Prices for corn, sugar, wheat, beef, pork and coffee are soaring. Labor overseas is becoming more expensive, meanwhile, and so are the utility bills to keep a factory running.

“There are cost pressures from virtually everywhere,” said Wesley Card, the chief executive of the Jones Group, whose brands include Nine West and Anne Klein. After trying to keep retail prices flat or even lower during the recession, Jones says prices for its brands will climb 15 to 20 percent by autumn.

When commodity prices started to rise last summer, many manufacturers and retailers absorbed the costs, worried that shoppers would not pay higher prices during the competitive holiday season or while the economy was still fragile.

Many big companies, including Kraft, Polo Ralph Lauren and Hanes, say they cannot hold off any longer and must raise prices to protect some profits.

Will consumers rebel?

Whether shoppers will pay is unclear. “Consumers are not exactly in the frame of mind or economic circumstances to say, ‘Oh, pay whatever they ask,’ ” said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc. “There’s going to be pushback.”

Economists say the increases may eventually show up as inflation, though they are not yet projecting rates that would set off alarms. Despite some fears, inflation has been extremely low, at a rate of just 1.4 percent annually in December. Data for January will be released Thursday, but economists expect inflation will run about 2.5 percent this year.

Some do see the creeping signs of higher inflation, and warn that the Federal Reserve will need to raise interest rates or at least stop pumping more money into the economy.

For consumers, higher prices in stores means there will be a little less extra cash to spend.

For companies, profits may be squeezed, making them a little less likely to invest in equipment or to hire aggressively.

“One has to think about these higher prices not as a reason for economic activity to get derailed,” said John Ryding, chief

Related • A closer look at some effects of the increasing price of cotton, Page B4 economist at RDQ Economics, “but as a reason why the recovery is slower than might otherwise be the case.”

In the United States, the willingness of companies to raise prices shows they are feeling better about the domestic recovery.

The sharp rise in commodity prices since last year has not translated into all new records.

Food commodity prices are about 8 percent below the high in the summer of 2008, while energy prices are less than half their zenith. Prices of a basket of other commodities are about 4 percent below the heights of mid-2008.

The cost of raw materials accounts for a small portion of the cost of most consumer goods, as labor, processing and packaging tend to make up a larger share of the price at the cash register.

Foods like coffee, meat and milk, which are closer to raw materials, will probably show some of the biggest price jumps.

A balancing act for companies Companies that try to pass on all their costs could meet resistance. Although consumer spending has risen, unemployment remains at 9 percent, and average hourly earnings are up less than 2 percent over the last year.

“These companies are constantly walking a tightrope on how far do I go,” said Jack Russo, a consumer goods analyst at Edward Jones. “Do I offset with price or other cost cuts, or do I just take it and have it eat into my profit margins?”

Already, rising raw material costs have cut into corporate profits. Kimberly-Clark, which makes Kleenex tissues and Huggies diapers, said fiber- and oilbased products contributed to a small dip last quarter. Procter & Gamble said earnings fell slightly in the division that makes Crest toothpaste, as well as in its household brands unit, which makes Tide and Cascade.

Plenty of companies are indicating they will push up retail prices. Kraft, the largest U.S. food manufacturer with brands like Oscar Mayer, Velveeta and Ritz crackers, said it would raise

prices on many products this year without saying which ones or how much.

Soaring prices for coffee have pushed up costs at the coffee shop. Starbucks said last fall that it would raise some prices. Sara Lee, which sells Hillshire Farms meat and Senseo coffee, said that it would too on many items.

Restaurants, which resisted raising prices to keep customers coming through the doors last year, are also fretting. They may take other steps too, like lowering thermostats, shrinking packaging or reducing portion sizes to minimize the sticker shock.

Meat prices have surged because of the cost of feed, a decision by farmers to raise fewer cattle and pigs, and strong demand worldwide as living standards rise. An epidemic of footand-mouth disease that devastated South Korean hog farms has led to a recent surge in orders for American pork.

What to expect This year, “You’re going to have to raise prices to stay in business,” said Len Steiner, owner of the Steiner Consulting Group, which works with restaurant companies on ingredient purchasing.

Whirlpool says consumers can expect to pay 8 to 10 percent more for its products starting April 1. Apparel companies like Polo Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers said they would raise prices this year. Hanes Brands, which has already done so, said prices on cotton-heavy products would rise again at the end of summer.

If cotton costs stay high, Hanes products could have a cumulative 30 percent increase.

Some companies don’t think they can get away with charging more. PepsiCo, which makes soft drinks and snacks, like Fritos, said it would be cautious.

Victoria’s Secret is nudging prices ever so slightly, with panties rising from five for $25 to five for $25.50.

John Morris, an analyst with BMO Capital Markets, said retailers would probably try to manage costs in myriad ways.

Prices rose significantly in the apparel sector from 1972 to 1974, driven by labor costs and commodity prices, he said.

“The retailers went on to have a pretty good year in ’73,” Morris said. “Sales were up, gross margins were flat, and profit margins were up a little bit. Retailers found a way.”

TOKYO — Forget Egypt for a moment. Skip the water crisis in China. Look past angst on the streets of Bangladesh. If you want to see how extreme the effects of surging food prices are becoming, look to wealthy Japan.

So big are the increases that economists are buzzing about them pushing deflationary Japan toward inflation. Yes, rising costs for commodities such as wheat, corn and coffee might do what trillions of dollars of central-bank liquidity couldn’t.

Yet the economic consequences of food prices pale in comparison with the social ones. Nowhere could the fallout be greater than Asia, where a critical mass of those living on less than $2 dollars a day reside.

It might have major implications for Asia’s debt outlook. It may have even bigger ones for leaders hoping to keep the peace and avoid mass protests.

A volatile mix What a difference a few months can make. Back in, say, October, the chatter was about Asia’s invulnerability to Wall Street’s woes. Now, governments in Jakarta, Manila and New Delhi are grappling with their own subprime crisis of sorts. This one reflects a toxic mix of suboptimal food stocks, exploding demand, wacky weather and zero interest rates around the globe.

It’s not hyperbole when Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist who predicted the U.S. financial crisis, says surging food and energy costs are stoking emerging-market inflation that’s serious enough to topple governments. Hosni Mubarak over in Egypt can attest to that.

It’s important to begin considering the side effects. The United Nations reckons countries spent at least $1 trillion on food imports in 2010, with the poorest paying as much as 20 percent more than in 2009.

These increases are just getting started. In January, world food prices rose to another record on higher dairy, sugar and grain costs.

This crisis might lead to another: debt. Expect Asian leaders to increase subsidies sharply and cut import taxes. The fiscal implications of these steps aren’t getting the attention they deserve. The same is true of social-instability risks. Events in Egypt are a graphic example of how people living close to the edge can get motivated in a hurry to demand change. Keeping that rage bottled in the age of Twitter, YouTube and Facebook won’t be easy. Hence Roubini’s concerns about geopolitical crises.

Exporting obesity There’s an extreme irony in the timing of all this. It’s coming as the world is becoming a heavier place. Obesity rates have almost doubled since 1980 and almost 10 percent of humanity was seriously overweight in 2008, according to

It’s not hyperbole when Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist who predicted the U.S. financial crisis, says surging food and energy costs are stoking emergingmarket inflation that’s serious enough to topple governments. the medical journal The Lancet.

People have never been fatter at the same time when food prices have never been so high.

The Westernization of Asia’s diet is partly behind the rise in food costs. Rapid growth, rising incomes, growing populations and urbanization are conspiring to shift eating habits away from the staples of old toward livestock and dairy products.

The growing pains inherent in shifting consumption patterns will be especially acute in this region. Unlike the foodprice spike of 2008, this one may be more secular than cyclical. Asia alone, for example, will have another 140 million mouths to feed over the next four years. Add that to almost 3 billion people in the fast-growing region and you have a recipe for booming demand.

The China scenario China’s size and scope means it will be buying up ever-growing chunks of the world’s food supply. As the yuan rises, so will China’s ability to outbid everyone else. Increased trade tensions are inevitable and it will show the futility of food subsidies. Prices will rise as long as consumption does, so it’s really a matter of pouring money down the drain.

China also shows how changing weather will bump up against rising living standards.

Severe droughts are imperiling wheat crops in the world’s largest producer. It’s creating shortages of drinking water both for China’s 1.3 billion people and livestock. It’s a reminder that water is the next oil. Governments will be scouring the globe for it before long.

Rising food prices will complicate things for China’s central bank. That goes, too, for India, Indonesia, the Philippines and even less developed economies from Pakistan to Vietnam.

What’s killing households surviving on a few dollars a day is price volatility. If you spend almost half of your income to fill bellies, a 10 percent surge in cooking oil, wheat or chili peppers is devastating. It’s hard enough to pay rent and handle health-care costs today, never mind investing in education.

Governments need to get busy softening the blow, even at the expense of rattling the folks at Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. Otherwise, they will have a bigger crisis on their hands than voters or investors alike can stomach.

T S Infrastructure is a priority, but paying for it isn’t, survey finds

By Ashley Halsey III The Washington Post

Upkeep of roads, bridges and transit systems is a high priority to an overwhelming margin of Americans, but by an even greater margin they don’t want to pay more for it, according to a survey that will be released this week.

With the Obama administration’s budget due Monday, House Republicans embarked on an effort to reduce spending by $100 billion and a longterm transportation bill stalled in Congress, 78 percent of those surveyed say private investors should be tapped to rebuild the country’s aging infrastructure.

The poll was commissioned by the Rockefeller Foundation, which has funded a $66 million transportation initiative, and was conducted this month

by Hart Associates.

“Transportation infrastructure affects so many critical issues for the country — economy, social mobility and energy — and it drives our economic growth,” said Nicholas Turner, a managing director of the Rockefeller Foundation who runs the initiative. “Most people don’t realize that transportation is the second-highest expense for most Americans and the highest for those with the lowest incomes. The promotion of accessible and equitable transportation policies is critical to providing affordable options to all Americans.”

The telephone poll of 1,001 registered voters came four months after a bipartisan panel of 80 transportation experts warned that the transportation system was deteriorating so rapidly that it would undermine U.S. ability to compete in a global economy.

Headed by two former transportation secretaries — Norman Y. Mineta and Samuel K. Skinner — the group estimated that an additional $134 billion to $262 billion must be spent per year through 2035 to rebuild and improve the nation’s roads, rail systems and air transportation.

Their report said a major increase in the federal gas tax, which has remained unchanged since it went up to 18.4 cents per gallon in 1993, might be the most politically palatable way to boost revenue in the short term. In the long term, however, Americans should expect to pay for each mile they drive, the report said.

The Rockefeller Foundation infrastructure survey found that Americans don’t support either as an option to raise revenues, or any other approach that would tax them directly.

Seventy-one percent opposed a gas tax increase, 64 percent were against new tolls on existing roads and bridges, and 58 percent said no to paying for each mile they drive.

While 66 percent said they thought spending on infrastructure is important, the same number of those surveyed said the government didn’t spend transportation money efficiently.

“People are willing to pay if they have faith they are getting quality,” Turner said. “Uncertainty in the poll more reflects a frustration with bridges to nowhere from Congress. The answer is that with clear outcomes and better accountability, people want and support investments in transportation infrastructure.”

“The promotion of accessible and equitable transportation policies is critical to providing affordable options to all Americans.”

Energy drinks may Key elements include pose risk to children OBAMA’S BUDGET PLAN

education, research

By Lori Montgomery The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama submitted a budget blueprint for fiscal 2012 on Monday full of surgical cuts and cautious trade-offs to lawmakers clamoring for bold action to reduce government spending and control a budget deficit expected to rise to a record $1.6 trillion this year.

The $3.7 trillion plan proposes to trim or terminate more than 200 federal programs, striking areas long favored by Democrats to make room for increases aimed at boosting the economy.

The new priorities include spending on education, energy and medical research, and a push to bring high-speed Internet to virtually every American.

At a time when Republicans are demanding sharp and immediate spending cuts, however, the president’s offer to freeze funding for domestic programs would produce minimal savings in the short term. The improving economy would help next year’s deficit recede to $1.1 trillion, the fourth straight year of trilliondollar budget gaps, but Obama’s policies would do nothing to further reduce next year’s deficit.

Meanwhile, Obama would rely heavily on new taxes to improve the government’s finances in the longer term. His budget calls for $1.6 trillion in fresh revenue over the next decade, primarily through higher levies on business and the wealthy.

The battle begins The budget request — the president’s first since Republicans won control of the House in November — marks his opening bid in a partisan battle over spending that is likely to consume Congress for the rest of this year and shape the political debate heading into the 2012 presidential election. Fueled by tea party fervor, some Republicans say they are willing to shut down the government to force fiscal restraint, while Democrats are courting independent voters

with a more judicious approach.

At a news conference at a Baltimore County, Md., middle school dedicated to math and engineering, Obama cast his goslow approach to budget-cutting as a responsible alternative to the steep reductions Republicans are seeking in a vote this week on the House floor.

‘Live within our means’ “While it’s absolutely essential to live within our means, while we are absolutely committed to working with Democrats and Republicans to find further savings and to look at the whole range of budget issues, we can’t sacrifice our future in the process,” the president said. “I know the American people understand why this is so important.”

Republicans blasted the proposed budget as a bait-and-switch, saying it would not deliver on the administration’s pledge to reduce deficits primarily by cutting spending. They also said Obama ignored a plan developed by his

A N A LY S I S

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s new budget plan was quickly dismissed Monday

by Republican leaders, but the document serves as a measure of his presidency - revealing vastly diminished ambitions and practical political calculations.

Two years ago, the popular new president had Democratic majorities in Congress as he released a sweeping budget plan that introduced a New Deal sequel with dramatic proposals on health care, energy and the economy and a full embrace of government’s central role.

The Obama of 2011, as demonstrated by Monday’s budget rollout, seems resigned to operating in a far more constrained fashion as he plunges into policy combat for the first time with the GOP’s House majority.

In declining to embrace the most difficult ideas proposed by his bipartisan deficit commission, such as cutting Social Security benefits, eliminating a home mortgage tax deduction or making structural changes to the tax code, the president deferred tough decisions that many in both parties say are necessary to fix the country’s fiscal problems.

The apparent tentativeness suggests that the man who once said he would rather be a good one-term president than a mediocre two-termer is, in fact, very interested in winning that second term.

“There is a hopeful interpretation of this strategy: The administration really wants to be involved in those conversations but doesn’t believe that the ground

has been adequately prepared for them,” wrote Brookings Institution scholar William Galston in his blog Monday.

Galston, a former Clinton White House policy adviser, added, “There is a less hopeful interpretation — namely, that the administration doesn’t want those talks to begin in earnest until after the 2012 presidential election.”

Obama’s budget appears to outline a broad fiscal platform for his reelection campaign that matches public opinion. Polls have shown that Americans see government spending and deficits as top-tier concerns — but support falls off substantially for cuts to specific entitlement programs and aid for the poor.

The president isn’t above a bit of political theater. His proposals to cut summer school Pell grants and reduce funding to help the poor pay for heating oil allow him to portray himself as a hawk willing to rein in government spending and stand up to liberals in his base. Yet Obama knows these popular programs have powerful protectors in the Democratic Senate who are likely to save them from reductions.

Obama pledged to trim the deficit by $1 trillion over the next decade, raising taxes on upper income households and closing special-interest loopholes. In doing so, he hopes to force the GOP — which has said it wants to cut even deeper — to take the lead in identifying which popular programs will come under the knife.

Energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster Energy have levels of caffeine that may be harmful to children who consume them often, a study showed.

Some of the ingredients in the drinks are understudied and not regulated, according to a review of previous research and surveys in the March issue of the journal Pediatrics. Children with diabetes, mood disorders and heart, kidney or liver diseases may have reactions including heart palpitations, seizures, cardiac arrest or even death, the authors said.

Nearly one-third of kids 12 to 14 years old regularly consume these beverages, which contain caffeine, sugar and other additives, said study author Judith Schaechter, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami.

Of the 5,448 U.S. caffeine overdoses reported in 2007, 46 percent occurred in those younger than 19, Schaechter and her co-authors said.

“Pediatricians need to be aware of the possible effects of energy drinks,” said Steven Lipshultz, a professor and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Miami School of Medicines and a study author. “Toxicity surveillance should be im-

proved and regulations of energy-drink sales and consumption should be based on appropriate research assessing energy drink safety.”

Sales of energy drinks were $6.9 billion in 2009 compared with $6.5 billion in 2008, according to John Sicher, publisher and editor of Beverage Digest. Sales for 2010 aren’t yet available and are expected to be even higher, he said.

“Red Bull Energy Drink is available in over 160 countries because health authorities across the world have concluded that Red Bull Energy Drink is safe to consume,” said Patrice Radden, a spokeswoman in Santa Monica, Calif,, for closely held Red Bull based in Fuschl am See, Austria.

“Last year alone, over 4 billion cans and bottles were consumed across the world.”

Energy drinks and their ingredients are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, she said in an e-mail.

A telephone call to Hansen Natural Corp. in Corona, Calif., which makes Monster Energy, was answered by a person who declined to be identified and said she couldn’t comment on the study.

Internet Continued from A1 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will lay out the policy in a speech on Tuesday, acknowledged the Internet’s dual role in an address a year ago, and administration officials said she would touch on that theme again, noting how social networks were used by both protesters and governments in the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and other Arab countries.

The State Department plans to finance programs like circumvention services, which enable users to evade Internet firewalls, and training for human rights workers on how to secure their e-mail from surveillance or wipe incriminating data from cell phones if they are detained by the police.

Though the policy has been on the drawing board for months, it has new urgency in light of the turmoil in the Arab world, because it will be part of a larger debate over how the United States weighs its alliances with

entrenched leaders against the young people inspired by the events in Tunisia and Egypt.

Administration officials say that the emphasis on a broad array of projects — hotly disputed by some technology experts and human rights activists — reflects their view that technology can be a force that leads to democratic change, but is not a “magic bullet” that brings down repressive regimes.

“People are so enamored of the technology,” said Michael H. Posner, the assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor. “People have a view that technology will make us free. No, people will make us free.”

Critics say the administration has dawdled for more than a year, holding back $30 million in congressional funding that could have gone to circumvention technology, a proven method that allows Internet users to evade government firewalls by routing their traffic through proxy servers in other countries.

Some of these services have received modest financing from

C OV ER S T OR I ES the government, but their backers say they need much more to install networks capable of handling millions of users in China, Iran and other countries.

A report by the Republican minority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to be released Tuesday, said the State Department’s performance was so inadequate that the job of financing Internet freedom initiatives — at least those related to China — should be moved to another agency, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.

“Certainly, the State Department took an awfully long time to get this out,” said Rebecca MacKinnon, a former CNN correspondent and expert on Internet freedom issues who is now a senior fellow at the New America Foundation. “They got so besieged by the politics of what they should be funding.”

There are other contradictions in the State Department’s agenda: it champions the free flow of information, except when it is in secret cables made

public by WikiLeaks; it wants to help Chinese citizens circumvent their government’s Internet firewall, but is leery of one of the most popular services for doing so, which is sponsored by Falun Gong, a religious group outlawed by Beijing as an evil cult.

In the long months the government has wrestled with these issues, critics said, the Iranian government was able to keep censoring the Internet, helping it muffle the protests that followed its disputed presidential election in 2009.

Posner, a longtime human rights advocate, acknowledges that the process has been long and occasionally messy. But he contends that over the past year, the administration has developed a coherent policy that takes account of the rapidly evolving role the Internet plays in closed societies.

The State Department has received 68 proposals for nearly six times the $30 million in available funds. The department said it would take at least two months to evaluate proposals before handing out money.

Religion Continued from A1 Last year the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national nonprofit group working to separate church and state, wrote the city saying it was contacting city officials on behalf of a concerned resident and taxpayer who objected to the display.

“Displaying an inherently Christian message on city property (at the entrance of City Hall!) unmistakably sends the message that the city of Prineville endorses the religious beliefs embodied in the display,” the letter states.

“When the government displays this manger scene, which depicts the legendary birth of Jesus Christ, it places the imprimatur of the city government behind the Christian religious doctrine.”

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Argentina has accused the U.S. military of trying to bring guns and surveillance equipment into the country under the cover of supplying a police training course, creating the latest diplomatic rift between the countries.

Argentine customs officials seized undeclared equipment Thursday, including what they described as machine guns and ammunition, spy equipment and drugs like morphine, the Argentine Foreign Ministry said Sunday.

The equipment was on a U.S. Air Force cargo plane carrying material for a training course that an American military team had been invited to provide to Argentina’s federal police.

Continued from A1 Under new U.S. House rules, supporters will have to identify other programs to cut by an equal amount to extend the timber payments, said Andrew Whelan, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River.

“This has always been a bipartisan effort,” Whelan said of the timber payment extension on Monday. “It will continue to be that way.”

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., was quoted in a news release as saying that a stable funding source for Oregon’s rural counties was his “number one priority.”

Congress created the program, formally called the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, a decade ago to compensate communities with historically high timber harvests. Counties and schools had lost revenue due to the cutback on timber har-

Military officers outline plan for new Egyptian government CAIRO — The military officers who have governed Egypt since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak on Friday have laid out a brisk, six-month timetable in which to draft constitutional amendments, submit them to a referendum and elect a new government, stirring debate about the military’s long-term intentions.

Some in the opposition welcomed the timetable as evidence that the officers were eager to turn over power to a civilian authority. But others, noting the military has so far excluded civilians from the transitional government, questioned whether the speedy schedule might signal just the opposite.

Two generals on the governing Supreme Military Council presented the plan — which calls for writing the amendments in 10 days and holding the referendum within two months — in a meeting on Sunday night with the

Argentina: U.S. military is sneaking in equipment

Egypt waiting for tourists to return The people of Egypt spent nearly three weeks in the streets to wrest control of their lives from a suffocating regime. Now, they have to figure out how to pay for their dreams of freedom and prosperity.

Tourism makes up 11 percent of Egypt’s national economy. Some estimates put the financial cost of the crisis at $310 million a day, and the Central Bank said tourism could take a hit of up to $1.5 billion.

In cities across Egypt, banks locked their doors, factories stopped production and large numbers of workers vanished, further straining the economy.

EgyptAir said Sunday that it had canceled three-quarters of its flights during the crisis, losing 80 percent of the revenue it expected to collect.

Samir Radwan, the finance minister appointed at the end of January as former president Hosni Mubarak was trying to appease protesters, said economic growth would be affected for the rest of the year.

revolution’s young leaders.

The meeting appeared to be the military’s first significant outreach to the civilian opponents of Mubarak, and two of the young protest organizers summarized the meeting in a post on Facebook. “The first time an Egyptian official sat down to listen more

than speak,” they wrote.

Still, despite their appreciation for the generals’ tone, the two reserved judgment about the military’s plan, and others in the group said their coalition had yet to make a final assessment of it.

Egypt has effectively been under direct military control since

up until the Monday after Christmas. Normally, the display remains up until the Monday after New Year’s Day. Rebecca Markert, staff attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, said if the policy is signed by the city to create the holiday-themed plaza through December, members of her organization would most likely take part in the opportunity.

“If the city opts to allow any organizations to put up symbols during the holiday season, then our members in the area will likely take advantage of that policy and put up a winter solstice display,” Markert said.

Roppe said the city is happy to have anyone take part, regardless of their beliefs. “I am a firm believer in honoring our neighbors’ faith,” she said. “All they need to do is go through the application process and all serious applicants will be accepted.”

Some 100 residents of Crook County showed up to a city council meeting in January in support of the city keeping the Nativity scene on display.

Roppe said she has also received about 60 letters from Christians, atheists and a pagan group supporting the Nativity. She intends to write everyone back once the city has made its final decision.

Roppe also said the city, the chamber of commerce and the parks and recreation department will work together to create a community tree lighting ceremony at the beginning of December that may coincide with the Christmas parade that runs through town.

“We intend to make it a very big deal,” Roppe said.

And some in the opposition, including the Nobel Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, have repeatedly warned that hasty elections could leave the fledgling democracy so weak that it could invite the rise of another military strongman.

A communique issued on Monday by the Supreme Military Council appeared to walk a fine line in grappling with a variety of problems in governing a restive Egypt. In responding to a series of strikes by state workers, journalists and the police on Monday, the council issued a forceful exhortation that some read as a veiled threat, although it did not threaten specific penalties.

Rumors swirled about the whereabouts of the former president, who has not been seen in public since his speech to the nation Thursday night. He reportedly had left Cairo for his vacation home at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik.

Cascades C ontinued from A1 Mills is echoed by Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland. The top budget writer in the House last session, Buckley said he’s worked hard to educate lawmakers about the economic importance of local campuses. Asked if Cascades is in danger this session, Buckley didn’t hesitate.

“Nope,” he said.

The situation presents a remarkable contrast from the events of 2009, according to former state Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend.

Stiegler provided new details of the highwire negotiations that ensured Cascades’ survival, in part because she wants campus supporters to stay vigilant. Even though the campus is in a stronger position, she said, “I don’t think they can ever take it for granted.”

The new details provided by Stiegler came as news to other Central Oregon lawmakers who were not plugged into the Democratic leadership.

“I’m surprised to hear that,” said Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver.

’Sharp disgreement’ Two years ago, some very powerful people felt that for Oregon’s university system to survive a tough budget, one of the smaller campuses must die.

And Cascades, the newest campus, was first on that list.

In early April 2009, then-Gov. Ted Kulongoski was poised to give a speech before the Portland City Club, saying the state could no longer afford many of its traditional expenses and services.

Two days before the speech, Stiegler was alerted that Kulongoski planned to publicly suggest that Cascades in particular be looked at for elimination.

Stiegler, a friend of Buckley, knew the timing could not be worse.

A number of powerful senators had moved the Senate Democratic caucus — which held a two-thirds majority in that chamber— to demand in private meetings with House leaders that a campus be eliminated. The campus with the biggest target was Cascades, recalled Buckley. He said some members of the Senate felt fewer campuses would mean more per-student funding and “save the system as a whole.”

“This was very much a passionate belief for them,” Buckley recalled. “There were people who were anxious to show they could cut something of significance.”

Had Kulongoski used his speech to slap a target on Cascades, it would have validated the Senate’s wishes and tipped the balance in a battle that was

“I can tell you that politcally — and just looking at the demographics — that campus is going to do well. It would be really hard for me to imagine it facing closure. I think the big challenge facing the campus is managing its growth.”

— Jock Mills, OSU director of government relations, on the Cascades campus already touch-and go, Stiegler said.

“When you’ve got the Senate and the governor saying the same thing, ‘This has to go’ ...

I think it would have been the death knell quite frankly,” she added.

Stiegler called Kulongoski’s chief of staff, Chip Terhune, and urged him to ask Kulongoski not to mention Cascades and, instead, give the community the opportunity to make the case for its survival. And a few hours later, he told her the governor had agreed.

Anna Richter Taylor, a former Kulongoski communications director and senior adviser, confirmed Stiegler’s account after checking with Terhune.

“The governor did intend to include the OSU Cascades campus as one example of something he would eliminate or we could eliminate,” she said. “Chip recalls that he did go to Judy and she was passionate in her argument against it, so Chip took it back to the governor, who agreed to drop the concept.”

Even with Kulongoski keeping his silence, the debate was a tight one.

Buckley said the “sharp disagreement” with the Senate over the future of Cascades was one of the worst stretches of the budget negotiations. “It was the only time I walked out of the room,” he said.

To deal with the Senate, Stiegler enlisted Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, a campus supporter, to intervene with then-Sen. Margaret Carter, DPortland, who was leading the charge to eliminate Cascades.

Stiegler said the assistance of former Bend Sen. Neil Bryant was crucial, as was the help of another former senator, the late state Treasurer Ben Westlund, of Tumalo.

In the end, she said, it was regular people who made the difference, after word spread that a legislative budget hearing in late April at the Cascades building would be crucial.

The community responded,

Lead Continued from A1 The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it had no choice but to include youth-model motorcycles and ATVs because of the way the law was worded.

That’s prompted a flood of complaints to the commission and to members of Congress. The House bill, sponsored by Montana Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg, is called the Kids Just Want to Ride Act. Rehberg said it was crucial that Congress “put to rest any confusion once and for all.”

Industry affected Uncertainty over the new law already is affecting sales.

Sales of motorbikes and ATVs are down nearly 40 percent since 2008, said owner Vicki Gray of South Bound Honda in Lakewood, Wash., and South Sound Honda in Olympia, Wash. She attributed the drop in sales to the national recession and the new lead ban.

“A broad stroke of the pen affects all of us so hugely,” Gray said. “And they don’t do very good research before they do these things. ... It’s silly. It’s absolutely silly. A child is going to eat their motorcycle? You know, come on.

It has broad effects, and they have no idea.”

Jim Boltz, the head of the Washington State Motorsports Dealers Association, said that sales of youth-model motorbikes and ATVs virtually stopped in 2008 when the law was passed. And with the delay in its implementation, he said, the uncertainty lingers.

“It’s a real negative situation that probably never should have happened,” he said. “We have enough uncertainty as it is, just with the economy, without this kind of stuff.”

Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, the chairman of the

with local leaders, school officials, businesspeople, students and their parents coming out to testify.

The show of support dispelled the perception among some lawmakers that support for the campus was anemic.

Later, Stiegler said, she heard from Carter that the public’s support demonstrated at that hearing “was one of the turning points in her thought process.”

As a result of the public pressure, and the behind-the-scenes efforts of Buckley and Stiegler — aided also by Whisnant and Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend — the campus never appeared publicly on any list of proposed cuts.

Change in focus Now, said Buckley, the Legislature doesn’t seem to be looking for a campus to shut down.

Rather, lawmakers are focused on making reforms to the university system to give it more independence from the Legislature.

He doesn’t think Cascades faces any danger in the immediate future. Down the road, he said the wild card is what plans university administrators might have if granted independence.

“I think it’s one thing that people need to make sure ... what the intention of the system would be for the future of Cascades,” Buckley said.

Bryant, who used to lobby for the Oregon University System, has been participating in discussions about the future of Cascades. He said that given the commitments toward the campus he’s heard from top university officials, he feels confident about Cascades’ future success.

Similarly, OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson said, “I don’t get the sense that the state board is at all wondering whether Cascades is a good place to have a university.”

Mills said that the main question facing the campus now is not whether it will be cut, but how it will grow.

“I can tell you that politcally — and just looking at the demographics — that campus is going to do well,” he said. “It would be really hard for me to imagine it facing closure. I think the big challenge facing the campus is managing its growth.”

Whisnant said he has been talking to Oregon State University President Ed Ray as well as George Pernsteiner, Chancellor of the Oregon University System about the need for a four-year campus.

“I think they’re going to realize the value and the opportunity that a four-year university will be for the state and the citizens,” he said.

Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, called the new restrictions “overzealous” and said they “interfere with a way of life enjoyed by not just Montanans, but outdoor enthusiasts across America.”

“While the goal is admirable, it is important to inject a little common sense into the process,” said Tester, the sponsor of the Senate bill to exempt ATVs and motorbikes from the ban. “I want our kids and grandkids to be safe and protected from harmful toys, but we all know that most kids who are past the teething stage do not chew on their toys.”

The new law The lead ban had been set to take effect May 1, but the Consumer Product Safety Commission voted 4-1 on Feb. 1 to delay implementation until the end of the year.

Robert Adler, the only dissenting commissioner, said that nearly three years after the law was passed “consumers still do not have the assurance that the children’s products they buy have been reasonably tested.” In addition, he said, it isn’t the commission’s job to delay the measure.

Industry officials are relieved.

Ed Moreland, a senior vice president with the American Motorcyclist Association, said the delay “affords riders much-needed breathing room” and would give Congress adequate time to change

the law.

Under the new law, which was signed by President George W. Bush, manufacturers would have to certify that their products complied with the new lead standards.

Industry officials say that ATVs and motorbikes can contain lead in their battery terminals, tire valve stems, brake and clutch levers, throttle controls, engine housings and elsewhere.

“Who knows?” Bleile asked.

“With all the parts that we deal with, there’s gobs and gobs of cast parts, and lots of bearings and all these things involved, and I really honestly don’t know how much lead is contained in those. ... There’s so many vehicles out there that rely on that material in some of their components for us to maintain them and keep them running.”

Gray said the new law already was driving more families toward other outdoor activities. And she said the lead ban would hurt motorcycle racing among younger riders.

“It’s a way of life for a lot of people,” she said. “Because of this lead ban, if those bikes are not being imported anymore or made anymore, they aren’t going to have anything to race. ... My biggest concern is legislators making laws that have such a broad effect on people and businesses, and they have no idea what kind of effect it makes on people.”

The game’s afoot, and ‘Jeopardy!’ champ feels a target on his back

By Katie Hoffmann

Ken Jennings, left, and Brad Rutter, the most successful contestants on the “Jeopardy!” game show, are competing against IBM’s Watson supercomputer this week.

Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — This “Jeopardy!” champion, more than any other, helped IBM develop a computer capable of playing the television quiz show.

Who is Ken Jennings?

As IBM’s “Watson,” named after company founder Thomas Watson, began its manvs.-machine battle on “Jeopardy!” on Monday night, the computer squared off against the player whose track record played a central role in shaping it. IBM scientists mined troves of data from past winners to develop the computer’s capabilities, and Jennings, as winner of a record 74 games in 2004, generated more statistics than any other.

“I felt like I had a target painted on me,” the 36-yearold said in a phone interview last week.

Jennings and Brad Rutter, another former champion, face Watson in a three-day competition that runs through Wednesday, with a $1 million first-place prize on the line.

The shows will be broadcast from IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and air during the regular “Jeopardy!” time slot.

A winning model IBM built Watson, after creating the computer that defeated champion Gary Kasparov in chess, to tackle another challenge: make a machine that could understand natural human language, as opposed to the keyword searches used in the search engines of Google or Microsoft. IBM wanted the effort to have realworld applications. “Jeopardy!” with its word plays, innuendos and penalties for inaccuracy, proved a good test.

As Dave Ferrucci, IBM’s lead scientist on the project, and his team developed Watson, they used Jennings’ data to create the “Jennings Arc,” according to Stephen Baker, who has written a book about Watson. The measure tracked

Charles William Bush Jeopardy!

how often Jennings was first to hit the buzzer to answer questions and how often he answered correctly, Baker said.

“Jennings represented the statistical performance of a ‘Jeopardy!’ superstar,” Baker, whose book is “Final Jeopardy: Man vs. Machine and the Quest to Know Everything,” said in an interview.

Jennings, a computer science major at Brigham Young University and former computer programmer, was skeptical at first that IBM could make a computer to play “Jeopardy.” That changed when he saw tapes of Watson “demolishing” championship level players, he said.

While having Watson compete was one thing for Ferrucci and his team, playing at Jennings’s level represented the highest standard for “Jeopardy!” In his stretch of games, Jennings answered questions correctly about 92 percent of the time and was first to the buzzer more than half the time, Baker wrote.

IBM researchers deduced that, to play at his level, Watson would have to get to the buzzer half the time, answer correctly nine out of 10 times and win a decent amount of the Daily Doubles, questions randomly sprinkled

among clues that let contestants bet money on whether they’ll get it right, he wrote.

‘Like somebody was watching me’ Jennings first saw the charts about his performance that IBM was using in Watson’s development in a research paper.

“I sort of jumped up a little in my seat, like somebody was watching me,” he said.

Watson, who appears on film as a round avatar on a screen, has a custom-made database created from journals, newspapers and other resources. Watson receives each question through a typed entry at the same time queries are read to the other contestants. The computer then scans the database with algorithms and calculates its degree of confidence in an answer. If its confidence crosses a certain threshold, a mechanical thumb buzzes in and Watson speaks the answer out loud.

Jennings pushed himself to prepare for the match.

“I used this online application that let me play every Final Jeopardy going back to 1984,” he said.

“It’s the geek equivalent of Rocky Balboa training.”

TURMOIL IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Demonstrations heat up in Yemen 4th day of protests pits advocates of democracy against government loyalists

By Sudarsan Raghavan and Hakim Almasmari The Washington Post

SANAA, Yemen — Government supporters clutching sticks, knives and rocks clashed with hundreds of pro-democracy demonstrators Monday, as this Middle Eastern capital was rocked for the fourth day by protests inspired by the revolts in Egypt and Tunisia.

Scores of riot police officers attempted to separate the two sides, but the pro-government crowds appeared determined to chase away foes who demanded the resignation of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has ruled this impoverished nation for 32 years.

“Hey, Ali, get, get out,” the prodemocracy protesters chanted.

“There is no solution except to leave.”

Following Egypt’s lead Monday’s protests were the latest indication that Yemen’s prodemocracy movement has been gaining momentum since the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Friday. While previous demonstrations were larger, attracting tens of thousands, and peaceful, the past four days have been marked by violence and more spontaneous uprisings. The demonstrations are also attracting a wider cross section of Yemenis, from lawyers to laborers, students to lawmakers.

For now, the protests are much smaller than those that toppled the regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, but the increasing violence highlights the potential for instability in a nation already reeling from internal conflicts, massive poverty and a resurgent branch of al-Qaeda.

In an effort to diffuse the tensions and prevent an Egypt-style rebellion, Saleh has offered significant concessions, including a pledge not to run for another term

Yemeni protesters shout slogans during a demonstration demanding political reform and the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Sanaa, Yemen, on Monday. More than 1,000 people protested in Yemen for a fourth straight day Monday, in demonstrations inspired by the upheaval in Egypt.

“We are seeking to solve the crises through dialogue. We cannot stop others who are oppressed from protesting. People are demanding change and want their rights.”

— Mohammed Basendwah, Yemeni opposition leader

in office and not anoint his son as his heir apparent. And Yemen’s political opposition has agreed to sit down again with the government to discuss reconciliation and power sharing.

“We are seeking to solve the crises through dialogue,” said Mohammed Basendwah, a top opposition leader. “We cannot stop others who are oppressed from protesting. People are demanding change and want their rights.”

The continuing protests suggest a widening divide between the demands the activists and opposition leaders who have sought political reforms rather than regime change.

On Sunday, Saleh, a vital U.S.

ally in the war on terror, postponed a trip to the U.S. scheduled for later this month because of the regional turmoil, according to Yemen’s state news agency.

Violence erupts Monday’s clashes unfolded at Sanaa University, the epicenter of the protests. Eyewitnesses described a sudden volley of rocks thrown by the pro-government mobs at the protesters, even as security was tight, with as many as 300 riot police officers.

“Rocks were thrown at us, and they beat us with bats,” said Khaled al-Anesi, a well-known human rights activist.

Sultan Qubati was also attacked and beaten severely. “We are calling for peaceful protests, but the Yemeni government is making the same mistake Egypt and Tunisia did,” said Qubati, referring to how state-sponsored violence in those countries backfired and led to even greater masses demanding change.

It was unclear how many protesters were injured Monday, with estimates ranging from five to 50 people.

In the city of Taiz, hundreds of anti-government demonstrators also took to the streets and clashed with Saleh’s supporters, who rode motorcycles and attacked with sticks and knives, said eyewitnesses. Police, they said, did little to stop the mayhem.

“Soldiers saw we were getting beaten and did not get involved,” said Mohammed Hatem Sharabi, an anti government protester, who said he was struck with sticks. “We are the people. Soldiers should look after our safety, not the safety of the rulers.”

W B Palestinian premier dissolves Cabinet RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian prime minister dissolved his Cabinet on Monday, in what appeared to be a new gesture inspired by unrest rocking the Arab world.

The internationally backed Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has been trying to show that it’s responsive to demands for reform. Over the weekend, the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced it will hold long-overdue elections by September.

Prime Minister Salam Fayyad now has six weeks to name a new Cabinet. Although Fayyad is a political independent, he is expected to replace a Cabinet currently dominated by technocrats with supporters of Abbas’ Fatah party in preparation for the elections, an aide said.

Also Monday, the Palestinian representative to the Arab League said the Palestinians will present a resolution to the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday, seeking a condemnation of Israeli settlement construction.

Afghan guards die in suicide bombing KABUL, Afghanistan — The heroes in the suicide bombing at the Kabul City Center shopping mall on Monday were not among the police officers or NATO and U.S. soldiers who showed up later. They were Gul Agha and Lal Mohammed, two poorly paid security guards who had one of the worst jobs in Afghanistan — screening

visitors at the door.

When a suicide bomber stepped through a metal detector, alarms went off and the two guards opened fire, according to witnesses. What happened next will probably never be known for sure, but witnesses said there was an exchange of gunfire before the bomber detonated explosives in his vest. The only people to die were the bomber and the two guards, police said. Two bystanders were wounded.

It was at least the fifth bombing in Kabul since Dec. 19, when a seven-month lull in attacks was broken. All of the bombings have been attributed to the Taliban or its Haqqani allies.

Tycoon’s trial rigged, court assistant says MOSCOW — An assistant to the judge in the latest trial of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the oil magnate jailed eight years ago after defying Vladimir Putin, went public Monday with the claim that the judge’s superiors pressured him to deliver a harsh sentence.

The assistant, Natalya Vasilyeva, said the judge had been monitored by senior judicial officials who dictated his major rulings. Vasilyeva said it was widely known in the judicial system that the case was rigged from the start.

The judge denied that he had been pressured, and said Vasilyeva’s comments were slanderous. “The statement by Vasilyeva is a lie, which may be refuted legally — that is, with a lawsuit,” he told the Interfax news agency.

Elsewhere in the region BAHRAIN Bahrain deployed anti-riot police Monday as opposition leaders, inspired by uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, began protests to demand more political freedom and jobs. Police fired tear gas into a crowd of protesters in the Diraz area as a helicopter hovered overhead. Earlier, residents of the Shiite Muslim village of Nuweidrat said clashes broke out between activists and police after morning prayers.

“We want better jobs and housing,” said Ahmed Yousef.

“I am not asking for a big house. I am married with two kids and live with my father.”

The 32-year-old said he makes $1,194 a month and works for an air courier service. Another protester, Ali Araj, 48, said, “Bahrain is supposed to be a constitutional monarchy now. It isn’t. We want our parliament to rule. I am very disappointed with the political process.”

Iran uses force against crowds of protesters

TUNISIA

By Thomas Erdbrink

A dozen young men left the Mediterranean village of Sedouikech last week, part of a flotilla of would-be migrants bound for the Italian island of Lampedusa. But unlike the more than 5,000 Tunisians who have reached Italy’s shores, this group’s trip ended in failure. On Monday, villagers buried one of the men, Walid Bayahia, who was killed when his boat collided with a Tunisian National Guard patrol vessel and sank.

The fall of Tunisia’s autocratic president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, on Jan. 14 brought euphoria and hope to Tunisia, but also created a power vacuum. The caretaker government said Monday that it had set up military checkpoints at several ports to try to halt the flow of migrants. Franco Frattini, the Italian foreign minister, was expected to meet with Tunisia’s interim prime minister on Monday evening after the Tunisian authorities turned down an Italian request to send its own police officers to help patrol the coast.

TEHRAN — Crowds of demonstrators battled security forces armed with tear gas and batons during a surprisingly large anti-government protest in the Iranian capital Monday that drew inspiration from the recent popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.

Dodging clouds of tear gas fired by police and pro-government militiamen, the protesters marched down a central boulevard and shouted slogans such as “Death to the dictator,” “We are all together” and “Down with Taliban, in Cairo and Tehran.”

Witnesses at several positions along the route said vast throngs of people could be seen marching from Enghelab (Revolution) Square toward Azadi (Freedom) Square, overwhelming police efforts to stop them.

Dozens of protesters were arrested for participating in the banned rally, an opposition Web site reported. A similar demonstration, clashes and arrests were reported in the central Iranian city of Isfahan.

The gathering in Tehran appeared to be the most significant anti-government protest here

since security forces cracked down on a series of massive demonstrations in 2009. The size of the crowd was difficult to estimate. Some witnesses said they believed it exceeded 200,000. The Associated Press said tens of thousands of people demonstrated.

In any case, the government seemed to have been taken by surprise by the large numbers of protesters. Security forces shot dozens of tear gas grenades at demonstrators who at times attacked members of the progovernment paramilitary Basij forces.

Police, who seemed to be mobilized in smaller numbers than usual, tried to disperse the protesters using batons and tear gas.

A man was seen coming to the rescue of his wife after a helmeted officer hit her on the legs.

In the afternoon, as the crowds grew, the police were seen retreating in some areas. By evening, the protesters seemed ready to disperse. Internet service had been disrupted in Tehran, so it was difficult to ascertain the next steps for organizers, who had relied on Web sites and social media to launch Monday’s rally.

Economy recovering, but we’ll never be the same, economist tells Bend conference

Fort Collins, Colo.-based Advanced Energy Industries Inc., parent company of Bend’s PV Powered, on Monday reported record revenues of $148.7 million for its fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, up from $58.1 million in fourth quarter 2009. Net income for the quarter was $31.4 million, or 72 cents per diluted share, up from $1.5 million, or 4 cents per share, a year ago.

For all of 2010, the company reported revenues of $459.4 million, up from $161.8 million in 2009, and net income of $71.2 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $102.7 million, or $2.45 per share, in 2009.

Advanced Energy took over PV Powered in May 2010. PV Powered makes solar-electric inverters, which convert the sun’s energy collected by solar cells into electricity. “Coupled with our industryleading thin film products, our expansion into renewables led to our record revenue quarter, as we further penetrated the inverter market,� Hans Betz, Advanced Energy CEO, said in a news release.

Shares of Advanced Energy, which released its earnings after the close of the market, closed Monday at $15.79, up 45 cents, or 2.9 percent in Nasdaq trading.

rian Dioguardi is confident now.

Dioguardi, aka Baldy, the owner and namesake of Baldy’s Barbeque in Bend, knows what he wants to do with the Redmond location he seeks to open on March 1.

It won’t be his first restaurant launch. Dioguardi, a Chicago-area native who has partaken in countless barbecue competitions and worked in a handful of restaurants offering barbecued food, has clear ideas about what he wants to do with the Redmond restaurant’s management style, food and atmosphere.

And he’s not in such a hurry to make a profit, as he was when he opened the original Baldy’s on Century Drive in Bend six years ago, because, back then, he hadn’t worked in years. “February 8, 2005, was when we opened,�

QUITO, Ecuador — An Ecuadorean judge ruled Monday in an epic environmental case that Chevron Corp. was responsible for oil drilling contamination in a wide swath of Ecuador’s northern jungle and ordered the oil giant to pay $8.6 billion in damages and cleanup costs.

The amount was far below the $27.3 billion recommended by a court-appointed expert but appeared to be the highest damage award ever issued in an environmental lawsuit.

But whether the plaintiffs — including indigenous groups who say their hunting and fishing grounds in Amazon River headwaters were decimated by toxic wastewater that also raised the cancer rate — can collect remains to be seen.

In a statement Chevron called the decision “illegitimate and unenforceable� and said it would appeal. It has long contended it could never get a fair trial in Ecuador and has removed all assets from this politically volatile Andean country, whose leftist president, Rafael Correa, had voiced support for the plaintiffs.

The case has been winding its way through U.S. and Ecuadorean courts for more than 17 years. — From staff and wire reports

Who could have guessed that 4.3 billion Internet connections wouldn’t be enough?

Certainly not Vint Cerf.

In 1976, Cerf and his colleagues in the R&D office of the Defense Depar tment had to make a judgment call: How much network address space should they allocate to an experiment connecting computers in an advanced data network?

They debated the question for more than a year. Finally, with a deadline looming, Cerf decided on a number — 4.3 billion separate network addresses.

Airlines canceling early to get ahead

By Jad Mouawad New York Times News Service

This has been a terrible winter for flying.

Since Christmas, four major winter storms, one after the next, shut down many of the nation’s largest airports for at least a few hours and some for a whole day. About 86,000 flights from Nov. 1 through Feb. 11 were canceled at the top 200 airports, according to Flightstats.com, putting this winter on track as one of the most difficult to navigate.

Even so, the severity of the storms was only part of the story this year. Airlines have become more aggressive in canceling flights beforehand rather than trying to fight their way through the snow.

Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — With just weeks until Starbucks Coffee Co. plans to wrest its packaged-coffee business from Kraft Foods, the Seattle-based coffee giant is planning a big splash into the single-serve coffee market.

The company confirmed to the Chicago Tribune it is working on a new product for singleserve coffee machines.

Experts say that any significant effort by Starbucks is likely to transform the $509 million

single-serve coffee market in the United States by bringing more consumers into the fold. According to Euromonitor International, single-serve coffee accounted for only 7 percent of the fresh coffee market in 2010. But that’s up from 2 percent in 2008, and it is expected to hit 10 percent in 2012. “Single-serve brewing is going to steadily take share from at-home coffee brewing for a long time,� said David Palmer, an analyst with UBS who follows Kraft and Starbucks. He described single serve as an

“undeniable market opportunity� for both companies.

Palmer explained that despite the higher price per serving, single-serve coffee has become popular because it’s faster, easier and doesn’t force the entire household to drink the same thing in the morning.

Lynn Dornblaser, director of consumer-products insight at Mintel International, said a meaningful Starbucks entry could be a “catalytic event� in single-serve coffee.

Recovery

direction,” he said. “The real estate recovery, I would argue, is starting to get under way.”

Greene sees it in Bend’s residential market.

“I’m optimistic,” he said, “and I’m positive.”

Homes have been selling, although the $191,000 median price in Bend last year fell to about 2002 levels. The industry has adapted to and streamlined the process for moving short sales and foreclosures, collectively known as distressed sales; several government programs exist to help buyers who qualify; and the lower prices have attracted first-time homebuyers and retirees.

Banks will continue to move their foreclosed homes onto the market, he said, although they are trying to release them slowly to avoid a glut.

And homeowners who want to sell need to understand the downward pressure distressed sales have on prices.

“They’re still thinking their homes are worth $200,000 more than they (are),” Greene said.

Fratzke, who discussed commercial real estate, agreed, saying buyers should expect a realistic growth rate, with value that increases over time.

The area continues to attract new residents and businesses, he said, illustrating his point with a video in which three business owners discussed why they came to Bend.

Sectors of the commercial market have been active, Fratzke said, with positive trends in office, retail and multifamily housing.

Three businesses — Bend Memorial Clinic, PV Powered and Global Strategies — leased 9,000, 20,000 and 5,000 square feet, respectively, of office and industrial space last month.

Later this year, he said, Century Center plans to bring online 9,000 square feet of retail for lease; Oregon State University-Cascades Campus recently announced its search for up to 30,000 square feet to house graduate programs, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs wants to consolidate into an existing 25,000-square-foot building.

While plenty of large industrial space exists, businesses have been leasing smaller buildings and industrial condos, he said, and the market has virtually no clinical medical office space available.

But building owners, tenants and others need to continue to educate themselves on the market.

“It’s been a challenge,” Fratzke said, referring to selling in recent years. “But it’s been an interesting ride.”

Continued from B1 He walked among the banquet tables as he spoke, getting laughs with lines such as, “It’s with some trepidation that one comes to Bend to talk about real estate,” and, referring to loan underwriting policies during the boom, “You got a pulse, you got a loan.”

Those polices, he said, were among the factors that came together to create the bubble, which enveloped Bend.

In 2006, the Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area, which covers all of Deschutes County, led the nation in home-value appreciation.

Four years later, the Bend MSA, again led the nation — this time in home-value depreciation, according to Federal Housing Finance Agency data.

“You’re one of the poster children,” Mitchell said. “You were at both ends of the extreme.”

When the bubble burst, it led to a financial crisis more severe than most Americans had ever experienced. Mitchell called the recessions that went through the economy between 1982 and 2007 “recession light.”

In the wake of the crisis, the economy must reset, which can be a slow process. Officially, the latest recession ended 20 months ago, he said.

Last quarter, the U.S. economic output returned to pre-recession levels. The gross domestic product will rise this year, Mitchell said; inflation has remained relatively low; and employment is increasing, although slowly.

He cited a report that in December 2009 showed no annual job growth in any state. In December 2010, however, 42 states showed annual growth.

“We’re back to year-over-year growth,” he said. “That’s a big deal. But we’re coming out of a deep hole.”

The economy still faces obstacles, Mitchell said, and one of them is the real estate market.

Nationally, 22 percent of homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, known as being underwater.

Mitchell estimated the percentage in Bend would be higher.

“We’re bouncing along the bottom at a quarter of where we were at the peak,” he said, referring to housing construction.

Recovery will take time.

He cited an economic study that looked at recovery on a global scale after economic crises. In a majority of cases, employment had not returned to pre-crisis levels after 10 years, and median home prices remained 15 to 20 percent lower over an 11-year period.

Baldy’s

ect, the opening of a Baldy’s in Redmond.

Continued from B1 Two or three years ago, Dioguardi said, he could not have conceived of trying to open another restaurant, even though customers were telling him he should. Now he is excited about the future, because he believes people will like what he’s come up with for the third Baldy’s.

(The second, a take-out location that opened last August, is inside the Stop and Go Shell station in east Bend.)

He is itching to begin experimenting with meats and sauces at the new place, whose kitchen will house a smoker custom-made for him. He looks forward to making friends with Redmond residents.

But he is not opening the restaurant just to please himself, he said. Together with his staff, he said he wants to see if they all can pull off the challenge of running two full-time, full-service restaurants.

“I’m doing it for all of us, just to show us that we can do this,” he said. “You know, it’s a team effort.”

Dioguardi, 42, invited The Bulletin to speak with him in the place he considers a sort of office for himself, the Loft of Bend, located on Bond Street downtown. He leaned back in his chair and spoke at length about his newest proj-

Q: A:

Addresses Continued from B1 That number seemed to provide more room to grow than his experiment would ever require; far more, in fact, than he could ever imagine needing. And so he was comfortable rejecting the even larger number of addresses that some on his team had argued for.

“It was 1977,” Cerf said in an interview last week. “We thought we were doing an experiment.”

“The problem was, the experiment never ended,” added Cerf, a former chairman of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, a nonprofit corporation that coordinates the Internet naming system.

“We had no idea it would turn into the world’s global communications network.”

Today, the Internet that Cerf helped create more than 30 years ago is about to max out. Within the next 12 to 18 months, or perhaps sooner, every one of the 4.3 billion Internet Protocol ad-

Let’s talk about how you came to decide what the new Baldy’s would be like.

Yeah, I had a definite vision in my head of wanting to make it old and rustic, Western, not over the top, but just, you know, kind of warm. I like that.

I’ve always liked … a good Western … old saloon kind of thing.

I’ve always liked that feeling. And so that’s what I was kind of going for. And I’m really getting that feeling. I’ve had a little bit more financial room to play around with the Redmond restaurant.

Q: A:

In terms of the style or the ambiance?

Yeah, in terms of being able to kind of look at it and it being more of a project rather than, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to get this open, otherwise my family’s’ not going to get fed.’ And having those fiscal things in mind. So this has been fun. I’ve always wanted to start from, you know, a vanilla shell and kind of build my own restaurant. …

have at the west-side (Baldy’s) as well, but this one, it cooks about 480 pounds of meat at a time. … (We had) to take out a window in the front of the store.

And we had to cut a big hole in the kitchen wall, ’cause this is gonna be inside. And it’s really gonna give us a great opportunity to really use it. I’ve never had the smoker inside at any of the restaurants. It’s always been — well, in (Parker, Colo., where he’d run a restaurant) it wasn’t; it was downstairs, in a different room. It might as well have been outside. It was just separate, not in the kitchen.

This is actually on the cooking line. And I’m super-excited with the opportunity that it’s going to give us to really use it as a piece of kitchen equipment and not something that just preps all of our meat. It’s gonna be fun.

Q: A:

And what kind of a flavor?

Q: A:

What’s coming up ahead for you?

Q: A:

Why Redmond?

Q: A:

It’s not there?

It’s different than that first time, for sure. I definitely feel a lot more confident than I did. I feel a lot more in charge than I did the first time. Because … the first time … I had to write the business plan. I read a lot of books and that kind of thing.

And now I know by experience kind of what works, and I know what it takes to open it. But I’m looking past that. I know what that is. I’m looking really into … developing a better Baldy’s.

It just made sense. … I think Redmond deserves to have Baldy’s in the neighborhood. I think that I can bring something good to it, and I think the people are looking for that kind of food, that kind of atmosphere.

Talk about the smoker at the Redmond Baldy’s.

The smoker was made specific to my specifications at a place in Cape Girardeau, Mo., called Ole Hickory Pits. And that’s the one I

I use different ones. You know, alder’s very, very plentiful out here, and so it makes sense, and it’s a great wood for smoking beef, and I use mostly alder for my beef products now. I do have hickory shipped in every now and then from the Midwest. And I use a lot of apple from Hood River, from The Dalles, and then cherry from The Dalles, and from western Washington. …

dresses will have been allocated, and the Internet, at least as it exists today, will have reached full capacity.

IP addresses are the unique sequences of numbers assigned to the websites, computers, game consoles and smart phones connected to the Internet. They are distinct from domain names, which identify websites, like nytimes.com.

“There are 4.3 billion addresses, and a lot of people have more than one,” said Leo Vegoda, manager of number resources at ICANN. “And there are 7 billion people on the planet. That’s a big mismatch.”

The rapid expansion of Internet adoption in Asia has sped things up even more.

Experts saw this problem coming years ago, and the transition to a new system, referred to as Internet Protocol version 6, is well under way. This new standard will support a virtually inexhaustible number of devices, experts say. But there is some cause for concern because the two systems are largely incompatible, and as the transition takes place,

the potential for breakdowns is enormous.

“This is a major turning point in the ongoing development of the Internet,” said Rod Beckstrom, ICANN’s president and chief executive. “No one was caught off guard by this.”

Still, the question looms: Is the Internet industry prepared?

The answer depends on whom you ask. While it is true that no one has been caught off guard, some parts of the industry responded faster than others, leaving some technology companies scrambling to catch up. Software companies like Google, Microsoft and Facebook, along with PC makers, say they have been taking the problem seriously for years in hopes of thwarting any major calamities. The major operating systems — like Microsoft’s Windows 7 and Apple’s Mac OS X — have already incorporated the new system. And providers, including Comcast, say they are ready to make the switch.

But Cerf is critical of Internet service providers, along with the manufacturers of Internet devices, for not addressing the prob-

lem sooner, saying many chose to wait until customers started asking for the new system.

“How can customers be expected to know what they need?”

Cerf said. He compared Internet protocols to the internal workings of a car engine. “It’s like changing a gear in a car’s transmission,” he said. “People shouldn’t have to worry about that.”

To help make the transition to IPv6 easier, Yahoo, Google and Facebook, whose websites generate a combined traffic of more than a billion visits a day, have agreed to participate in a sort of trial run on June 8, named World IPv6 Day, to make sure their systems are ready. Participants are hoping that such an experiment will shed light on potential glitches.

Vegoda is optimistic that most people will not notice the difference between the two standards, and expects the transition to go relatively smoothly. “Most Internet users have no idea they’re using IPv4 today and if things go well they will have no idea they’re using IPv6 in the future,” he said.

Q: A:

Not a barbecue place, like, smokehouse like we are.

So it definitely is a new addition. I don’t see the restaurant doing crazy numbers. I see us investing, though, investing in the long run and making a lot of sense and doing very well.

While there is still a debate over whether these rules have increased cancellations, the threat of hefty fines has been a powerful incentive for the airlines not to take any chances.

Expect to pay more for pair of jeans this spring As cotton prices reach 150-year high, cost of clothing likely to rise

By Anne D’innocenzio NEW YORK — Shoppers looking to update their wardrobes may find their money won’t stretch as far.

As the world economy recovers and demand for goods rises, a surge in raw material and labor costs is squeezing retailers and manufacturers who have run out of ways to pare expenses.

Clothing prices had dropped for a decade as tame inflation and cheap overseas labor helped hold down manufacturers’ costs. During the recession, retailers and clothing makers cut frills and experimented with fabric blends to keep prices in check.

But cotton has more than doubled in price over the past year, hitting all-time highs. The price of synthetic fabrics has jumped roughly 50 percent as demand for alternatives has risen.

Clothing prices are expected to rise about 10 percent in coming months, with the biggest increases in the second half of the year, said Burt Flickinger III president of Strategic Resource Group.

Brooks Brothers’ wrinkle-free men’s dress shirts now cost $88, up from $79.50. Levi Strauss & Co., Wrangler jeans maker VF Corp., J.C. Penney Co., Nike and designer shoe seller Steve Madden also plan increases.

More synthetics More specifics on price increases are expected when clothing retailers such as J.C. Penney Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch Co. report financial results this month. “All of our brands, every single brand, will take some price increases,� said Eric Wiseman, chairman and CEO of VF Corp., which makes clothes for The North Face, Nautica, Wrangler and Lee brands. Cotton accounts for half the production cost of jeans, which make up about onethird of VF’s sales, Wiseman told

$PUUPO QSJDFT TPBS The price of cotton has surged since last August and is now at a 150-year high. That means shoppers will be paying more for clothing this year.

investors in November.

Higher costs also will affect how clothes are made. Clothing makers are using more synthetics like rayon and designing jeans with fewer beads and other embellishments. Shoppers also will have fewer color choices.

Retailers are trying to figure out whether the consumer demand that gave them strong holiday sales will last. The fear is higher prices will nip it in the bud. Stores that cater to low- and middle-income shoppers will have the hardest time passing along price increases. “We have been so used to deflation for years and years,� said David Bassuk, managing director in the retail practice of AlixPartners. “Customers are going to be surprised.�

Janice Mignanelli of Washington Township, N.J., doesn’t want any surprises. “’I’m not going to spend any more than $50 for a pair of jeans,� said Mignanelli, a stay-at-home mom shopping at The Garden State Plaza in Paramus, N.J., last week. “I’ll just have to cut back on the extras.�

succession of storms this winter have stressed airports’ ability to cope, experts said.

Adding to the chaos this winter is the fact that airlines have been reducing their capacity and are flying fewer and fuller planes than just a few years ago.

Furthermore, with the recent mergers in the industry, the airlines are relying on a smaller number of big hubs.

On the bright side, airlines have been much more lenient in allowing passengers to change or cancel their tickets. “Airlines have become smarter,� said Maruster of JetBlue.

spending has rebounded, may bristle. “It does give me some pause,� said Jimmy Franco, a 47-year-old publicity executive and fan of Brooks Brothers’ shirts. “Instead of buying two, I may just get one and a pair of socks. There’s a certain amount of money that I’m prepared to spend.�

Cotton has jumped to a 150year-high, hitting $1.90 per pound on Friday. That’s more than double the price a year ago and just ahead of the $1.89 record during the Civil War, according to the International Cotton Advisory Committee. But the Civil Warera price isn’t adjusted for inflation, and the cotton group says it doesn’t have an adjusted figure available. The government inflation calculator only goes back to 1913, but at that point $1.89 had the same general buying power as $41.63 does today.

Cotton prices began soaring in August 2010 after bad weather cut harvests in major producing countries including China, the U.S., Pakistan and Australia.

Restrictions on exports from India, the world’s second-largest cotton exporter behind China, have also produced cotton shortages. On top of that, worldwide demand for cotton has risen as the global economy improves.

Raw materials account for 25 percent to 50 percent of the cost of producing a garment. Labor ranges from 20 percent to 40 percent, depending on how complicated it is to make, Bassuk said.

Production still in lull On the production side, many Chinese factories that shut down temporarily in the depths of the recession still haven’t returned to capacity. As they ramp up, they’re finding they have to pay workers more because of labor shortages, said John Long, retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon.

Until now, retailers have been shifting production to lower-cost regions like Vietnam, turning to new materials and absorbing cost increases.

Starbucks Continued from B1 At the same time Dornblaser said she doesn’t expect hardcore coffee drinking families — those that may down a pot or two a day — to embrace single servings. Brewing single serve cup after cup may be too expensive, and too much of a hassle, she said.

Still, the products may be especially appealing to 18- to 24-year-olds setting up their first homes, or older consumers with limited living space, Dornblaser said.

Starbucks apparently sees a broad market for single serve.

Spokeswoman Lara Wyss said the coffee chain hopes to accomplish with “single-serve coffee what Apple did for mobile phones.�

She said the company is in a “unique position because of our retail footprint� and its ability to use baristas as ambassadors for new beverages.

The company will either make its own machines or partner with a coffee machine-maker, and will sell the machines in Starbucks cafes.

Wyss cautioned that “single-serve coffee is still in the nascent stages of development.� The company has yet to decide which, if any, partners it will use, or what the product will be called.

Single-serve coffee is made, in about 40 seconds, by inserting a small plastic container into a specialized machine.

These containers, known as pods, come in a variety of flavors for coffee or espressobased beverages. There are also pods for hot chocolate and tea.

The sticking point for some consumers is cost. A machine may cost between $75 and $275. And while most consumers can make a cup of drip coffee for 10 cents or less, single-serve pods can cost 50 cents to $1.

Bill offers in-state tuition to illegal residents

By Lauren Dake

By Hillary Borrud Police are still investigating the shooting of a cat on the south side of Awbrey Butte two weeks ago. So far, there are no suspects.

On Jan. 31, the Scott family called the Bend Police Department to report their cat Calvin had been wounded, according to the police. After taking the cat to the veterinarian, Russ Scott and his son, Colby, learned the cat had been shot. A .22-caliber bullet passed through Calvin’s neck and lodged in his right rear foot.

Officers canvassed the neighborhood last week, but did not receive any new information, Sgt. John Carlon said Monday.

Neighbors did not report hearing gunshots.

Carlon said the two weeks it took for officers to respond was longer than the typical response time. One reason was that the family initially did not know who or what wounded their cat, and they told the police it might have been a coyote, Carlon said.

I set out to show what the Old Mill District is, a place heavy in history and architecture where people go for shopping, socializing and spending time with their families. This photograph includes a background that shows what shoppers see.

A mix of Old Mill and new History and commerce combine for interesting photographic possibilities

By Rob Kerr

The Old Mill is a social place. With a visually decorative mural as a background, the social elements of a coffee shop in the sun provided a documentary glimpse at life, clothing and styles on a Tuesday afternoon in January.

The Bulletin

A few hours, with or without magic light.

Populated or empty. For this Well Shoot! piece on photographing the Old Mill District in Bend, I allotted just two hours on a regular afternoon to make some pictures. This is more fair to the reality of travel photography; rarely can we be at the right place at the right time for the perfect conditions for the perfect photograph.

I do have pictures of lightning, rainbows and colorful hot-air balloons reflected in the Deschutes River at the Old Mill. But those are rare. This exercise is about the everyday photographic opportunity.

I mentioned travel photography. The idea of field trip photography is similar — to visit a place and bring back a photograph that shows the things that defined the place to you at that time. This is often referred to as capturing a “sense of place” in a photograph.

For this exercise, visit the Old Mill with the camera gear you are most comfortable with.

I slimmed my equipment to a full-frame DSLR camera with a 50mm lens. I worked under the common challenge of documentary street photography by not setting anything up and not using filters or flash to create a scene.

This equipment restriction challenges pure visual expression by relieving you of the burden of equipment. By having fewer options — no camera bag, no tripod — there is less to distract you from observing and gathering ideas.

The Old Mill is rich with photographic possibilities. A visit there is a form of relaxation for many.

It’s a historic hub of the region in a beautiful natural setting juxtaposed with modern commercial style.

This is visible in the buildings, advertising and landscapes, as well as in the people who work and visit here.

So go there and show us in a photograph what you see and feel. Please consider that some people and businesses may wish to protect their privacy; respect their wishes.

TIPS • Look for juxtapositions of new and old.

• Use repeated patterns in your compositions. For instance, a person in front of a large photograph or surrounded by mannequins.

The Old Mill is a good place to go with the family. The long shadows from a low-lying winter sun helped me illustrate this idea without invading the privacy of the family.

It’s hard not to shoot the Old Mill’s smokestacks because of their iconic status and immensity. A cloud behind them and the visual sweep of stabilizing cables give viewers a slightly different take on them.

• Look for places where people congregate or regularly pass so you can get more action in your picture. If it’s cold outside, try setting up at locations where there is sun and warmth.

• Try to find perspectives from the second floor or the cliff above, making use of the long shadows common during the winter season.

• Use the landscape. Bridges, ponds, trees and open concrete areas are some of the features you could include in your shots.

• What do the smokestacks say about the life of the Old Mill? Is there anything different you can show about them?

• Enjoy what’s happening there and capture the pace of the place. At the time you are there, is it busy, relaxing or something else?

The Old Mill has a unique architectural design. This arch at the top of the stairs has a familiar shape to old Bend residents, mirroring the roof of the old crane shed and some of the other original mill buildings.

Attention, photographers!

Submit your own photos at www.bendbulletin.com/wellshoot and we’ll pick the best Old Mill shots for publication next week in this space. No doctored photos, please!

SALEM — A bill introduced Monday would allow illegal immigrant students who have attended high school in Oregon for at least three years to pay in-state tuition at Oregon’s state universities.

Students who live in Oregon illegally are currently considered out-of-state residents, which means they pay about $17,600 more per year at the University of Oregon than in-state stuIN THE dents. To qualLEGISLATURE ify for in-state tuition under the terms of the legislation, illegal immigrants would have to attend an Oregon high school for at least three years prior to enrollment.

“Tuition equity,” as it’s being called, has bipartisan support, including that of Republican senators Frank Morse and David Nelson and Democratic Rep. Mike Dembrow, all of whom spoke in favor of the legislation Monday.

As a community college instructor, Dembrow, of Portland, said he’s pushing the legislation because he believes it would not only help the students, but also improve Oregon’s economy.

School’s physical program targets obesity

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

On Valentine’s Day, students at Ensworth Elementary School in Bend learned about ways to keep their hearts healthy by leading an active and nutritious lifestyle.

“The whole focus is to see what we can do to reduce child obesity,” said Sue Jorgenson, youth recreation manager with the Bend Park & Recreation District. “And we’re trying to do this by focusing on both fitness and nutrition components.”

On Monday, the Ensworth school gym was transformed into a makeshift doctor’s office as local pediatricians measured students’ height, weight, and body mass index as part of a pilot program called, Rx: 2Thrive.

The program is being organized by several groups, including Central Oregon Pediatric Associates, Mosaic Medical, the Bend Park & Recreation District and St. Charles-Bend, and it aims to combat childhood obesity by taking more direct action.

‘A good chance for us to see what works’ “Obesity is really becoming a problem,” said Pediatrician Kristi Nix, who works at Mosaic Medical. “And there aren’t a lot of effective strategies in dealing with it so far, so this is a good chance for us to see what works, and what’s possible.”

The event at Ensworth was the first trial run of the new program.

O House looks Plea deals reduce mandatory sentences at new bills to create jobs REPORT ON MEASURE 11

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A new state report showed plea deals have reduced the number of mandatory sentences issued under Oregon’s Measure 11.

The state Criminal Justice Commission said prosecutors were increasingly winning cases that are bargained down to convictions without mandatory prison terms, The Oregonian reported.

A draft study by the commission showed that only about one in three people indicted for a Measure 11 crime is convicted of it. The rest get plea deals for less serious crimes with lighter sentences.

The report examined how Measure 11 has affected prison sentencing in the past 15 years.

The report contrasted claims that supporters made in Voter’s Pamphlet statements in 1994 with what experience has shown.

Supporters said the measure would deter crime in part because “career criminals will learn that crime does not pay in Oregon.”

The report, released Friday after a public-records request from The Oregonian, found that seven out of 10 people charged with Measure 11 crimes had never before been convicted of a serious crime.

In 1994, the state estimated Or-

Billboard seeking leads on wolf shooting

egon would need an additional 9,000 prison beds to house all those who would be convicted under Measure 11. Instead, the state has needed only 6,000 — a number directly related to how prosecutors adjusted their tactics under the measure, the report said.

The report noted many circumstances in which serious crimes were unlikely to be deterred by the threat of mandatory prison time.

Teenagers, for example, are generally less likely to control their impulses, while any deterrent is “minimized when the offender is intoxicated by drugs or alcohol,” the report said.

The state’s crime rate has dropped in recent years, but prosecutors still charge an average of 2,300 people a year with Measure 11 crimes. The number has changed little in the years since the measure passed, suggesting the deterrence value isn’t as strong as proponents stated.

“That 2,000 offenders are indicted every year for M11 crimes is an indication that it did not work in those cases,” the report said.

Still, the report found those convicted of a serious crime see a tougher consequence: “The likelihood of going to prison and the length of stay for prison sentences increased sharply,” it said.

A FUN RUN FOR EVERYONE

The Associated Press LA GRANDE — Conservation groups are putting up a billboard in Eastern Oregon showing a dead wolf in hopes of sending the person who shot and killed it to jail.

Starting Tuesday, drivers headed east on U.S. Highway 82 out of La Grande will see the billboard offering a $10,000 reward for information in the shooting of a 2year-old male wolf from the Wenaha pack last September in northeastern Oregon. It was wearing a radio tracking collar.

Wally Sykes of Northeast Oregon Ecosystems says illegal killings of wildlife give rural communities a black eye and discourage tourists interested in wildlife.

Sykes says Northeastern Oregon Ecosystems and other conservation groups are paying for the $2,700 cost of the billboard.

The $10,000 reward has been raised by conservation groups and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Grants Pass man sentenced to 15 years as career criminal The Associated Press MEDFORD — A Grants Pass man convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison as a career criminal.

Federal prosecutors said Monday that 54-year-old Clyde Baker Jr. was arrested in April 2009 at his trailer home, where Josephine County sheriff’s deputies found a loaded .22-caliber rifle.

Prosecutors said Baker is an armed career criminal under federal law and has multiple felony convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, robbery, manufacture of a controlled substance and felony attempt to elude.

The case was investigated jointly by the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The grants announced Monday would be given to up to a half dozen companies help for doing feasibility studies on building or expanding plants that burn forest thinnings to produce energy, or turn woody biomass into fuel.

They are part of the governor’s plan to build the biomass industry to create new jobs, new sources of energy, and promote thinning projects that improve the health of forests.

The deadline for applications to the Oregon Department of Energy is April 15.

Hamad was also charged, but had left the country before he could be arrested.

Mental health building burns KLAMATH FALLS — A weekend fire may have damaged the Klamath County Mental Health building beyond repair.

The Herald and News reports a man suspected of starting the blaze Sunday within an hour of being released from the nearby Klamath County Jail was arrested and is being held for a mental evaluation.

Klamath Falls Police Chief Jim Hunter said the charges pending against 57-year-old Michael Scott Wynn include arson and criminal trespassing.

Klamath County officials said the fire burned wooden trusses in the attic supporting the roof and there was only a 50 percent chance the Mental Health Department would ever be able to return to the building.

In addition, The Register Guard reports, she’ll speak Wednesday at the University of Oregon on the topic, “My Life as a Feminist Pornographer.” Her visit to UO is sponsored by campus groups.

OSU administrators said it was her work in the pornography industry that that led them to not spend taxpayer dollars for her speech at this week’s sex conference.

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — Oregon lawmakers on Monday considered two proposals to grant tax credits to companies that create new jobs.

The ideas are still in their infancy but are part of an intense push by lawmakers to encourage businesses to hire Oregonians looking for work.

More than one in 10 Oregon workers is unemployed, a rate worse than the national average.

House Bill 2411 would grant a tax credit of up to $500,000 to businesses that build new facilities in Oregon and expand their payroll. Expansions in regions designated “distressed areas” would get a tax credit worth 5 percent of the new costs for employee pay.

In other areas, the tax credit would be worth 3 percent of added payroll costs. Up to 40 companies per two-year budget cycle could register for the program, which would expire in 2017.

Paul Grove, a lobbyist for the economic development agency Business Oregon, said the state’s tax incentives for payroll growth fall short of programs in Utah and New Mexico — similar states that compete with Oregon for new jobs. Grove did not take a position on the measure but said his organization has proposed similar ideas to create incentives for job growth.

The measure was introduced by eight Democrats from the House and Senate, including five lawmakers who are part of the party’s leadership. One of them, Rep. Tobias Read of Beaverton, said it’s important to craft incentives that actually spur job growth, but he said it can be a difficult

to prove that a particular job was created because of the tax credit.

“Our job is to cultivate an atmosphere that’s conducive to business expansion,” Read said.

The bill in its current form could end up giving money to businesses that don’t need it and might not actually promote job growth, said Jody Wiser of the advocacy group Tax Fairness Oregon.

“If you offer me 15 cents on the dollar to hire someone, and I don’t have any productive work for that person to do, I’m not going to hire them,” Wiser said.

The other measure, House Bill 2949 would give a $1,000 tax credit for jobs created to clean up land that has been environmentally contaminated. It also would create grants and loans to help businesses cover up to 75 percent of the cost of an environmental study and cleanup plan for contamination sites.

The bill’s sponsor, Portland Democrat Lew Frederick, has hit on an important issue with his desire to help businesses afford environmental cleanup studies, said Palmer Mason, a lobbyist for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

“We do hear that a lot from the private sector: ‘I would go and look at that piece of property. It looks attractive to me, but I don’t know how much cost I’m in for to deal with the contamination,’” Mason said.

Budget analysts said they have not yet calculated the cost of either proposed tax credit. They said they’d try to estimate the cost if the bills advance through the legislative process.

Oregon has an auditing shortfall

S

tate officials confessed last week that some state departments are not following the rules. It was during a hearing of the joint Ways and Means Committee on Friday.

The Department of Administrative Services presented its 2010 report on internal auditing. Those are the audits that 31 state departments are required to do because of their size and the amount of money they handle. The audits could be things like reviews of how cash is handled, how confidential information is kept secret or to ensure state property is properly used and accounted for.

Two state agencies, the departments of education and forestry, had no one in the position to do the job, according to the 2010 report. Also, the education and the judicial departments — the education department did manage to have one done — failed to submit their internal audits to an external review to check their work. And there was more.

State Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, said the 2010 report should be a call to action. “It’s not responsible for us to say ‘noted’ and we move on,” she said.

Being curious, we looked back at the 2009 internal audit report. It was déjà vu.

For the education department, the

2009 report said: “Because the internal audit function was eliminated as part of the budget reduction process, the agency’s Audit Committee determined there would be little value derived from obtaining an external quality assurance review of the function.” For the education department, the 2010 report said ... exactly the same thing.

For the judicial department, they mixed it up a little. In 2009 the report said: “Now they (the Judicial Department) are working on an agreement to have the review performed by internal auditors from other state agencies and expect this will be complete during FY 2010.” That didn’t happen. In the 2010 report, it says the external review for the judicial department will be in 2012.

In other words, after the 2009 report, the Legislature said “noted” and moved on.

We know legislators and agencies must decide among competing priorities. And the Secretary of State’s Office does occasionally audit state agencies even if they don’t do internal audits. But internal audits are required because they are important. The 2011 report should not read like déjà vu.

A sacrifice for schools R

edmond School District officials are miles away from accepting a proposal put forth by teachers as a means of balancing the district’s budget. The idea — a swap of bond savings for a new tax — may be intriguing, but it also creates new problems.

The second-largest school district in Central Oregon faces serious financial problems next year. Having trimmed $7 million from last year’s budget, it faces the prospect of having to cut another $10 million — about 20 percent — next year. To aid the district, officials have asked the community for suggestions.

Teachers have responded. A proposal from the Redmond Education Association would see the district ask voters to approve a budget-balancing special levy for about $10 million. If voters approve it, the district would refund about $10 million in savings from a $110 million bond approved by district voters in 2008. Currently that savings is expected to go to equipment for the new high school and repairs and improvements at other schools in the district.

Interesting as the proposal is, it raises a host of questions. First and most important, is the trade-off even legal? Next, and equally important, does state law allow the district to levy as much as it needs to balance its budget?

The questions don’t end with legalities. If the district does refund unspent bond money to voters, things that would have been done will remain on the district’s wish list. The $900,000 that had been earmarked for

bleachers at the new high school may not be available, and the $10 million slated for sprucing up Redmond High would likely have to be cut. Other improvements may also be put on hold.

In other words, some long-term goals would suffer so that short-term spending needs could be met. There is also the very real possibility that the school district’s financial picture will not get significantly better in the next few years. If it doesn’t and the district plugs its current budget hole with a one-time levy, it will end up having done little more than delay necessary spending cuts and forgo needed capital improvements.

Would Redmond voters even support a levy? As much as they support their schools, it will likely be a lot harder to win support for a new tax in 2011 than it was to build and improve schools in 2008.

If district officials want to have any chance with such a levy, they will have to clearly spell out how it would be spent. One thing that might make the swap attractive is a financial sacrifice from the teachers and staff before the levy goes on the ballot. As things now stand, at least $2.5 million of the $10 million gap goes to pay teachers for six more days that were cut from the school year last year and deferred cost-of-living and step increases.

REA officials may argue their members already have given and shouldn’t be asked to give more. Yet their gift last year, while real, was largely temporary. The probability that teachers and other staff must make sacrifices again seems much more real than a tax-for-savings swap.

My Nickel’s Worth Mirror Pond solution I can’t imagine Bend’s elected officials or the general public tolerating the demise of Mirror Pond. So how about a simple and inexpensive solution to the buildup of sediment in that portion of the Deschutes River?

People are willing to pay big bucks for good topsoil in this desert land of sand and rocks. The city should temporarily lower the river level sufficiently to dry out the sediment, put some big balloon tires on backhoes, and load the rich loam into homeowners’ pickup trucks and contractors’ behemoths, enriching the city’s coffers with the revenue.

And while the river level is so low, a few geese might vacate the area! Everybody wins.

The “Bend” Bulletin I find myself intrigued by The Bulletin’s concept of “Central Oregon.” The Sunday, Feb. 6, Business section speaks to “Central Oregon’s Distressed Sales” and talks about Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Sunriver, but nothing north of Jefferson County or Crooked River Ranch. Guess we’re not part of Central Oregon.

John Costa in his column of the same date tells us The Bulletin will “report each week …” on the legislative session and provide “… profiles of important players and contact information for Central Oregon’s delegation.” Yet when one looks at the list of contact information for the Central Oregon delegation, where is Jefferson County’s represen-

tative? Guess we’re not part of Central Oregon.

The Madras Aquatic Center has held many swim meets with participants from around the state. The Bulletin’s coverage? Nearly nothing until Bend high schools participate and win.

Then it is first page of the Sports section. Guess we are not part of Central Oregon.

These positive things seem to be overlooked, yet The Bulletin is quick to tell Jefferson County that we ought to get rid of our treasurer and for days writes many stories about the situation. I suppose we should be thankful that a paper that is so concerned about Jefferson County is willing to share its opinions about what we ought to do.

I am beginning to think that The Bulletin maybe ought to put the “Bend” back into its name.

Kitzhaber does not get it Gov. John Kitzhaber’s 2011–2013 budget proposal (“Big Targets In Budget Plan,” from Feb. 2) reveals his tonedeafness about taxpayers’ hard-earned money. “It amounts to an increase of less than $200 million over the budget adopted by the 2009 Legislature.” And, “… the new figure amounts to roughly a $1.2 billion increase over the adjusted 2009–2011 budget, or about an 8 percent increase.”

Kitzhaber does not get it: We need to reduce the spending, not grow it by 8 percent, especially in a recession that drags on and on, particularly for Oregon. States and counties across

the country and the feds are getting the message, but not Kitzhaber. He refused to address the real problem in the budget: labor costs. “Kitzhaber and his staff studiously refused to answer reporters’ questions … (about) growth in salaries and benefits.…”

Surprisingly, Sen. Chris Telfer, RBend, told him: “I’m impressed. I’m optimistic.” She may be impressed and optimistic, but I’m not. I am appalled at the lack of realism in current budget discussions. Here we go again with more spending increases that we cannot afford. We could be heading for state bankruptcy. How do we resurrect Chris Dudley?

A bad anthem I have enjoyed any number of sports broadcasts throughout the years and have heard many renditions of our national anthem, but the totally rancid and incomplete rendition by Christina Aguilera at the Super Bowl was by far the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing. Such raping of our anthem should be a crime. These so-called stars of our modern day are so out of touch with reality and uninformed in anything but themselves that you have to wonder where their little minds were when they went to school.

But then this country’s school system is nearly as inept as all those tootsies who think they are so hot. No wonder this country is in trouble. Please!

Bend should slow down on water supply solution

By Peter Schneider Bulletin guest columnist

T

he controversy concerning the future of Bend’s water supply is critical to everyone in the area.

Surprisingly, for something of this significance, very few people are aware of the real issues.

Those city employees and officials who want to spend $58 million on an upgrade of our surface water source cite extensive engineering studies and raise the fear of impending deadlines as justification for the expenditure. Those who oppose this option are asking the council to put the project on hold, commission truly independent third parties to reanalyze the studies, look seriously at less expensive alternatives and include the public in a much more transparent and active role.

The question of strategy versus tactics in the future water supply issue appears to have been ignored. Strategy may be simply defined as deciding which course of action is optimal given current policies

and situations. Tactics may be described as choosing the best particular actions to accomplish the strategy. It seems to me the City Council should concern itself with thinking about the strategy of the water supply question, while the city staff and consultants should deal with the tactics. Unfortunately, it appears that all our officials are obsessed with the tactics of the situation and have lost sight of any strategic analysis required.

I think the really central question should be: Can Bend afford to spend $58 million in the next few years, especially when the city is already facing a serious shortfall in its budget and is millions behind in repairing its existing infrastructure? The fact that this expenditure will raise everyone’s water rates substantially and force the city to borrow large amounts of money, thereby lowering its credit rating and incurring huge new interest obligations, should also raise doubts about the wisdom of this decision.

The fact that other, cheaper options may

IN MY VIEW accomplish the same thing raises even more questions about this decision.

In essence, I feel the City Council has been supplied with misinformation, or at least a very biased analysis of the facts, by its consultants and/or the city staff.

The consultants used assumptions that are clearly biased against the groundwater option, but don’t seem to be supported by the facts. For example, in assessing the future costs of electricity to run the wells, rather than state them on a present value basis (standard in all future analyses) they presented a number that was simply a cumulative cash flow. Of course, when this figure is run out for 50 years it is huge. (So would city staff salaries be if run out on this basis.) These costs and many others have been grossly overstated, using the assumptions selected by the consultants for the groundwater option.

The consultants also presented a biased

picture of the costs of the surface water option. Their initial analysis of the great revenue benefits from a hydro facility eventually proved to be incorrect and included several assumptions that did not fit with the current situation. This option has been put on hold. Yet many of the costs and facilities necessary to support the hydro project are still in the plans.

It has been said repeatedly that surface water is gravity-fed and so represents “free” water to the city. It is not — actually it is quite the opposite. Based on conservative estimates, the city would have to borrow $40 million to $50 million to finance the surface water option, with ratepayers having to pay most of the rest. This would require the city to pay approximately an additional $3.5 million annual debt service per year for 20 years. The consultants ignored this and the fact that an all-groundwater option would cost less than $1 million in the early years and not more than $2 million per year in future years … and would not

require an immediate expenditure of $58 million.

We all know city councilors are overworked, have heavy responsibilities, and serve in this thankless position as a matter of civic duty. It would be unreasonable to expect them to have the time, or the training, to be able to analyze every detail of every study they are presented with. They must rely on the advice of others. The council has done the best it could with the representations and presentations given to it, but that data has come under serious question as more people have had the opportunity to examine it.

I ask the City Council to take a step back and take a more strategic look at incurring this huge expenditure in these difficult times. Please consider other alternatives, such as the all-groundwater option, or delaying the project for two to four years, or examining less extravagant solutions.

Peter Schneider lives in Bend.

Similar bills have been introduced in past sessions. Morse, of Albany, actually spoke out against one of them in 2003. He said he’s changed his mind, in part because he now considers the matter an education issue rather than an immigration issue.

Following an exercise portion, Health Matters Pat Kuratek, R.N., left, checks the pulse of fifthgrader Kaylene Oates, 10, during the Rx: 2Thrive health program at Ensworth Elementary School in Bend on Monday afternoon.

Rx: 2Thrive Continued from C1 After being weighed and measured, students filled out a brief survey about their fitness and nutrition routines. At that point, volunteers determined which students were at risk of obesity and gave them “prescriptions” outlining elements of a healthy lifestyle.

All the information gathered from students is kept confidential, Jorgenson said.

‘Play coaches’ The program also gets students’ parents involved by asking them to help the students fill their healthylifestyle “prescriptions.”

Students determined to be at risk will be paired-up with “play coaches” from the St. Charles-Bend Kids@ Heart program to help them stick to a healthy lifestyle. “I think we’re doing the tests to see how in-shape we are,” said Kaylene Oates, 10. Kaylene, who participated in the health event, said she thinks she is pretty healthy because she takes dance and swimming lessons, and because she makes a point of eating fruits and vegetables.

Kate Wells, project director of community outreach with St. Charles-Bend said that unlike some similar pro-

“We’re starting to see kids involved in a lot more sedentary activities than they used to be, so we’re seeing an increase in weight and health related problems because of it. If we can connect right here, and get started early on this issue, than hopefully we can make an impact on them later on.”

— Sue Jorgenson, youth recreation manager, Bend Park & Recreation District grams throughout the state, the Rx: 2Thrive approaches health from both a fitness and nutritional standpoint.

“It’s good to know where we are with this issue and to provide (students) with education about it,” said Wells. “It’s also good because a lot of these kids don’t get physicals frequently, so this is also a chance to screen for issues.”

To help get kids fit, the Bend Park & Recreation District will offer free after-school activity classes twice a week for students

at Ensworth. The classes will be open to all students, not just those who are at risk for obesity.

In May, pediatricians will once again return for a session at Ensworth to remeasure height, weight and blood pressure to determine what type of impact the program is having on students.

“We’re hoping to use this as a model to expand to other sites,” Jorgenson said. “Hopefully, there will be a solid foundation of change here to build on.”

Jorgenson said that Ensworth was selected as the program’s launching site because most of the students walk to and from school. Thus, they can participate in after school activities without being dependent on buses.

Check in after summer vacation Pediatricians will return to Ensworth a third time in September to measure how students did over their summer vacation.

“We’re starting to see kids involved in a lot more sedentary activities than they used to be, so we’re seeing an increase in weight and health related problems because of it,” said Jorgenson. “If we can connect right here, and get started early on this issue, than hopefully we can make an impact on them later on.”

Continued from C1 The crime would be first-degree animal abuse, Carlon said.

“We take these things seriously.”

The punishment for first-degree animal abuse is up to a $6,250 fine and up to a year in jail.

However, the police sometimes have to prioritize which crimes they respond to, and “crimes against people probably are going to take priority,” Carlon said.

It is also illegal to shoot guns or other weapons, including pellet guns and projectiles launched by bows or slings, within city limits.

There are exceptions if the shoot-

er is defending his or her life or property, or if the person is shooting at a firing range or using a bullet trap “as a necessary part of the person’s lawful business operations,” according to city code.

People who break this law face a $500 fine, said City Recorder Patty Stell.

When people fire guns inside

city limits, “every miss becomes a hit somewhere,” Carlon said. Even if someone shoots up in the air, the bullet will come back down. It could hit the ground, but it could also hit a person, Carlon said.

administrative leave Dec. 30 after an inventory and audit of the armory, which Prince had managed for 10 years, revealed the apparent disappearance of funds, firearms and accessories.

Prince’s lawyer, Thomas Spear, originally asked the court for the conditions of his release to be reduced slightly to accommodate financial and personal problems Prince is experiencing in addition to those created by

his arrest.

Judge Michael Adler allowed for an exception to the no contact order so Prince could communicate with his wife, Shelly Prince. She is an officer with the Redmond Police Department, and the two have a child together and are in the process of divorcing and selling shared property.

Spear attempted to keep Prince off of electronic home monitoring as well because of

financial implications for his client, saying Prince would have to pay the $20 daily cost for the equipment, especially since he’s expected to lose his job as soon as this week.

“He is on administrative leave,” Spear said of Prince’s status with the Redmond Police Department. “It’s our understanding that relations will end either today or tomorrow. There are some financial reasons not

to impose electronic monitoring.

He is not a risk to the public. He is a longtime resident of Central Oregon. He is not a flight risk.

He’s not going anywhere.”

Adler declined to remove the electronic monitoring requirement, calling the process “standard.”

“We didn’t really know how to write that into the law,” he said.

“OUS will develop rules on how they express their intent to remain in Oregon and become citizens and Oregonians.”

and planned to attend the University of Oregon until he saw the price tag. Instead, he enrolled in Central Oregon Community College. He still attends COCC, but it’s taken a long time because of his financial situation.

Because Zuniga doesn’t have a Social Security number, he can’t apply for scholarships or get student aid. Now, he’s back in school and j working as a cab driver. He is still determined to become a doctor, but he says it won’t happen unless he is eligible to pay instate tuition.

“Oregon is losing that investment they put into kids,” Zuniga said. “They educate them kindergarten through high school and just stop. They see their dreams that can’t be reached. Passing this bill, they could continue their education and reach their goals.”

going to send them back to an environment which is totally foreign to them? No, we’re not going to do that. But we should require those students to be on the path to naturalization and be the great citizens that so many people are that immigrated to this country.”

Lawmakers in support of the bill on Monday said they anticipate it will be a struggle to pass.

Opposition Among its opponents is Rep. Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer, who likened it to “enabling behavior” on the state’s part that would “encourage illegal immigration.”

Local lawmaker Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, said the bill seemed anything but equal.

“I question the premise of the bill in the sense that why would we charge in-state tuition for a person who is here illegally, but charge out-of-state tuition for a young person who resides in the

state of Washington,” Conger said.

Jim Ludwick, communications director with the nonprofit Oregonians for Immigration Reform, echoed Conger’s sentiments.

“Let’s give in-state tuition to anyone from Nebraska, Montana or Idaho,” he said. “They want a special deal for illegal aliens.”

Federal law mandates that children in the U.S. be educated from kindergarten through 12th grade. It is illegal to ask students their immigration status, so it is difficult to estimate how many illegal students are in the school system.

The bill states that the student must “intend” to become a citizen. Dembrow said he wasn’t sure how the intent would be verified. Under the bill, it would be up to the Oregon University System to determine. The point of including the provision, Dembrow said, is to withhold the tuition break from students who are just

Student support Gerardo Zuniga, of Bend, came with a group of students throughout Oregon to the Capitol to support the legislation.

The 28-year-old — who came to this country from Mexico with his parents when he was 11 years old — had for years dreamed of becoming a doctor, he says. He likes studying human anatomy, and he wanted to help people.

Zuniga attended elementary and middle school in Madras before moving to Bend and graduating from Bend High School in 2000.

Butch greets Sgt. 1st Class John Carlson, right, and Capt. Andrea Lohmann during a training exercise that had the dog working with a handler around soldiers preparing an obstacle course on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. Military dogs are preparing for a mission in Iraq with a medical company charged with providing stress relief for deployed soldiers. The canines’ job is to draw out soldiers who normally would avoid a therapist or to just give someone a break from thinking about a long tour in the desert.

Coyote is 10th animal with rabies in Josephine The Associated Press MEDFORD — A coyote has become the 10th animal in Josephine County to test positive for rabies over the past 13 months.

The coyote was found in the Cave Junction area, where seven foxes and one goat have all died from the disease. The other rabies victim was a fox near Merlin, The Mail Tribune reported.

The coyote has yet to be tested to determine whether it contracted the same strain of bat rabies found in the other dead animals.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say it’s likely that other animals have contracted rabies in the Cave Junction area.

“Maybe we hit the jackpot and it’s the only one,” said Colin Gillin, the department’s state wildlife veterinarian. “But normally, when you find it, it’s in others.”

If it is the bat strain, as expected, the coyote could have contracted it from eating an infected bat — the common theory biologists have for the dead foxes, Gillin said.

But more likely, the coyote could have contracted it from contact with a fox, skunk “or something we haven’t found yet,” Gillin said.

The animal was seen last week by a woman who reported it to ODFW wildlife biologist Steve

Niemela. He drove to Cave Junction and discovered the coyote alive and in brush near a cemetery, rolling and drooling. He killed it with a shotgun and sent the body off for testing.

The latest incident had Josephine County health officials warning pet and horse owners to consider vaccinations for their animals.

All dogs must be vaccinated for rabies in Oregon, but animals such as horses and cats are not required to be vaccinated.

Officials say ODFW will release a draft plan to track rabies in Josephine County and determine how widespread it has become.

SOCCER Body failing, Brazilian player Ronaldo retires SAO PAULO, Brazil — Ronaldo retired from soccer Monday because his body can no longer meet the demands of the game, ending a magnificent career in which he won two World Cups with Brazil and thrived with some of Europe’s top teams.

With tears on his cheeks, the 34-year-old striker announced his decision at a news conference. He played 18 years despite repeated knee trouble and leaves as a three-time FIFA player of the year and the top goal scorer in World Cup history.

“It’s very hard to leave something that made me so happy,” Ronaldo said. “Mentally, I wanted to continue, but I have to acknowledge that I lost (the fight) to my body.”

He said a string of injuries the past two years kept him from performing at a high level with the Brazilian club Corinthians. He also learned four years ago he had hypothyroidism, a condition that made it difficult for him to lose weight and stay in shape.

“The pain made me anticipate the end of my career,” he said.

With his uncanny sprints toward the goal and an extraordinary finishing touch, Ronaldo captivated fans everywhere he played, including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. All despite having to come back from three serious knee injuries that threatened to end his career.

“My career was beautiful, was wonderful,” he said. “I’ve had many defeats but infinite victories.”

O LY M P I C S Ages of Chinese skaters in question China is facing new questions about the ages of some of its athletes after discrepancies were found in the birthdates of nine figure skaters.

According to a list of birthdates published on the Chinese Skating Association’s website and found by The Associated Press, the skaters violated the sport’s age limits by competing when they were either too young or too old. The birthdates on the federation’s websites differ from those listed on the athletes’ International Skating Union bios.

ISU spokeswoman Selina Vanier says the federation is aware of the discrepancies and has asked Chinese officials for more information.

The questions come less than a year after the International Olympic Committee stripped China of its 2000 Olympic bronze medal in women’s team gymnastics for using an underage girl.

They are strong, flexible and agile.

They run fast, and they leap high and jump far.

At more advanced levels, they spend as many hours each week practicing their sport as many youths do working part-time jobs.

When they reach high school, they don’t get their time in the spotlight like many of their athletic peers, those who opt for the gridiron, the soccer pitch, or the basketball court. (The Oregon School Activities Association, the state’s governing body for high school athletics, does not sponsor championships for their sport.)

But that does not deter Central Oregon’s gymnasts from pursuing the activity, if the hundreds of girls and boys who attend the region’s four gymnastic academies can serve as evidence.

“I think gymnastics is the best sport,” says Sharman Watt, owner of the Central Oregon Gymnastics Academy in Bend. “I did it my whole life” she adds, “and it’s the only reason I work as hard as I do right now.”

Bend is home to three of the area’s facilities. Acrovision Sports Center and COGA both are located on the north end of town on opposite sides of U.S. Highway 97, and Cascade All-Star Gym-

Redmond Gymnastics Academy, the newest of the four gyms, sits just east of Redmond Airport.

Each academy offers a variety of opportunities for aspiring gymnasts — from toddlers who can barely walk to teenagers who can perform advanced

tricks, flips and tumbling maneuvers.

All four gyms hold introductory gymnastics classes for preschoolers as well as recreational classes for boys and girls starting at age 6. They also rent out the facility for birthday parties and hold open gyms.

Rookie Ross shows potential at worlds

The day for pitchers and catchers to report for spring training, awaited by baseball fans since the last out of the World Series, brought with it some of the messy offseason news of money and contract negotiations.

St. Louis and representatives of Albert Pujols agreed to extend the window for a new deal for 24 hours through noon EST Wednesday because they didn’t want to distract from Cardinals great Stan Musial receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The three-time NL MVP will make $16 million this season, including $4 million deferred without interest, and is eligible for free agency after the World Series. He had said he would cut off talks when he arrives for spring training, early as usual today.

“Given the timing of everything we will remain quiet at this time,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said.

“I don’t want to lead people on or characterize something one way or the other. Our approach has been pretty consistent since Day One and that’s to allow this to be done in a confidential state. Given we are only 48 hours from the deadline, I’ll remain that way.”

The 31-year-old Pujols is the only player in major league history to hit 30 or more homers in each of his first 10 seasons. He reached 100 RBIs each of those years as well.

U.S. skier Laurenne Ross, of Klamath Falls, gets to the finish after completing the second training run for the women’s downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on Thursday.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Laurenne Ross is not your average skier.

And that’s not because she sticks her tongue out at the cameras, wears a nose ring or sports dreadlocks.

Well, OK, that’s part of it.

But what really sets this 22-year-old World Cup rookie apart is her talent, speed, and — perhaps most of all — potential.

“She’s a five-event skier, but I have a feeling that she will be the future of our speed team,” American teammate Julia Mancuso said.

That seems fairly evident following Ross’ performance at her first world championships over the past week.

She started off with a 16th-place finish in the super-G, her best career result in that discipline, then was fifth in the downhill portion of the super-combined before straddling a gate in the slalom leg and hiking back up to finish 28th.

Her most impressive result came in the traditional downhill Sunday, where she finished 10th, one spot ahead of Swedish standout Anja Paerson.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Kansas takes top spot, then falls to KSU The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. — Thanks to a remarkable game by Jacob Pullen, Kansas State’s “lost” season may have been found and Kansas’ stay at No. 1 may be short.

Pullen, a 6-foot senior guard, scored a career-high 38 points Monday night and led a wire-to-wire charge that sparked the troubled Wildcats to a stunning 84-68 victory over Kansas — just their third win in 45 games against an instate rival that has dominated them for decades and beat them by 24 less than a month ago.

The game came just hours after the Jayhawks replaced Ohio State atop The Associated Press’ poll.

Hundreds of fans stormed the court when the final buzzer sounded, creating a temporary mob scene that knocked several media outlets off line.

“I just tried to take good looks, tried to be patient, not overly aggressive but take the shots that were given to me,” said Pullen, who was five for six from the three-point arc and hit 15 of 19 foul shots.

“My teammates did a good job of keeping them honest so they couldn’t overly help.”

Pullen’s total was just one point shy of the 39 that Elvin Hayes scored for Houston against No. 1 UCLA in 1968, which Kansas State research indicated is the most ever scored in a victory over a topranked team.

“Shots were falling for me,” Pullen said. “I’ll take it if people want to say it was my best game. I felt good how we were playing as a team. Other people were stepping up, creating shots off the dribble.”

Kansas State shot 56 percent from the field Monday night while upsetting the Jayhawks, who had won 22 of 23 in Bramlage Coliseum.

Also on Monday: No. 17 Syracuse . . . . . . . . . 63 West Virginia . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Brandon Triche had 20 points and Kris Joseph added 16 as Syracuse snapped a three-game losing streak at home.

Coyotes add to win streak, beat Caps The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Ilya Bryzgalov nearly stopped Chicago’s top line by himself in Phoenix’s last game.

The rest of the Coyotes did the dirty work against Alex Ovechkin and Washington’s first line, the brunt of it with their legs, chests, even faces.

Phoenix frustrated Washington’s top line with a flurry of blocked shots and Bryzgalov turned away most of the ones that got through, lifting the Coyotes to their fifth straight win, 3-2 win over the Capitals Monday night.

“We had the tennis balls out in practice, jumping in front of them,” Coyotes forward Scottie Upshall joked. “You know, (Lauri) Korpikoski jumped out there with his face on Ovechkin. It’s just doing what it takes to win games.”

Phoenix didn’t generate much of-

NHL ROUNDUP fense in a game that was clunky from the moment Coyotes defenseman Derek Morris was called for tripping Ovechkin 19 seconds in.

Ray Whitney had a goal and assist, and Radim Vrbata made the switch from goal-scorer to facilitor with two assists after scoring in three straight games. Martin Hanzal and Vernon Fiddler also had goals for the Coyotes, who moved atop the Pacific Division standings.

This one, though, was won in the defensive zone, where Phoenix seemed to spend most of the game while killing off five penalties.

Bryzgalov, as he has been during the winning streak, was steady, allowing one goal that didn’t carom off a teammate, while stopping 29 shots.

His teammates did the rest with their bodies, blocking a season-high 20 shots.

• Forsberg’s comeback cut short by bothersome foot: The typically stoic Peter Forsberg was quite emotional as he announced he was stepping away from hockey because of a bothersome right foot that left him vulnerable on the ice. Flanked by his fiancee, Forsberg choked up several times Monday as he pulled the plug on his latest comeback attempt after playing in just two games with the Colorado Avalanche. He acknowledged he’s through with the game, saying he “can’t do it anymore.” He leaves with no regrets, despite feeling “like a little kid that had candy stolen from.”

Basketball • Kings fine Cousins for fight with teammate: Sacramento rookie DeMarcus Cousins has been fined by the team for fighting with a teammate after a recent game and will rejoin the Kings after missing one game. President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie announced the punishment Monday, saying there is no place for violence on or off the court in the NBA. Cousins got into an altercation in the locker room with Donte Greene after a 99-97 home loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday. Cousins reportedly was upset that Greene had not passed him the ball for the final shot in the game. Greene passed the ball to Tyreke Evans, who missed a three-point attempt.

Football • NFL owners to meet March 3: NFL owners will meet on March 3, the final day of the current collective bargaining agreement. It is possible the owners will call for a lockout of the players if negotiations with the union are not progressing sufficiently. All 32 owners are expected to be at the meeting in Fort Lauderdale that follows two days of committee meetings that were previously scheduled. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith repeatedly has said he expects a lockout. Talks broke down last week in Washington.

• NFL files charge against union with labor board: The NFL has filed an unfair labor practice charge against its players’ union. In Monday’s filing with the National Labor Relations Board, the league is asking that the union be ordered to bargain in good faith. The NFL says the union wants to avoid reaching a new collective bargaining agreement by the early March expiration of the old deal. The league says the union wants to decertify so it can file an antitrust lawsuit.

• Browns add Ray Rhodes to coaching staff: Ray Rhodes has joined new Cleveland Browns coach Pat Shurmur’s staff as a defensive assistant. Rhodes, a former NFL head coach, has spent the past three seasons with the Houston Texans. Before that, he worked in Seattle with Browns president Mike Holmgren. Rhodes brings more than 30 years of pro coaching experience to Cleveland. He was a head coach in Philadelphia and Green Bay. • Raiders hire Hall of Famer Rod Woodson as assistant: The Oakland Raiders added a Hall of Famer to their coaching staff, hiring Rod Woodson on Monday as an assistant to coach the team’s cornerbacks.

Woodson was one of the most accomplished defensive backs ever to play the game and was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team. He played the final two of his 17 seasons with the Raiders, helping the team win the 2002 AFC championship.

• Ravens coach Harbaugh signs three-year extension: Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh signed a three-year extension Monday that will keep him under contract through 2014. Harbaugh took the Ravens to the playoffs in each of his three seasons after replacing Brian Billick in January 2008.

Baltimore is 32-16 in the regular season under Harbaugh and 4-3 in the playoffs.

• Ex-NFL quarterback Schlichter charged in $1M theft: Former Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter, whose NFL career was derailed by a gambling addiction, was charged Monday with stealing more than $1 million from a 68-year-old woman in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Schlichter has offered to cooperate with an ongoing police investigation into the sale of Ohio State football tickets and 2011 Super Bowl tickets, according to Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien, who didn’t provide details on how the theft charge was related to the ticket investigation.

• Wait’s over: Top recruit Clowney picks Gamecocks: Top football recruit Jadeveon Clowney of Rock Hill, S.C., picked South Carolina over Clemson and Alabama on Monday, ending an extra 12 days of suspense. The defensive end from South Pointe High School is considered the country’s top prospect and was sought by schools from coast to coast.

But the 6-foot-6, 250-pound senior took a different path than other recruits, delaying his decision from national signing day on Feb. 2 until Monday, his 18th birthday.

Baseball • Yankees finalize deal with Jones: The New York Yankees have finalized a $2 million, one-year contract with Andruw Jones. The team announced the deal with the five-time All-Star outfielder on Monday.

Jones can earn an additional $1.2 million in performance bonuses as part of the agreement: $150,000 each for 250 and 275 plate appearances, $200,000 apiece for 300 and 325, and $250,000 each for 350 and 375.

Golf • Woods apologizes after fine for spitting in Dubai: Tiger Woods apologized after he was fined an undisclosed sum by the European Tour on Monday for spitting on the green during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic. The tour said in a statement that tournament director Mike Stewart reviewed the matter and “feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct.” “The Euro Tour is right — it was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better,” Woods said on Twitter. “Just wasn’t thinking and want to say I’m sorry.” The tour would not give the amount of the fine but it is probably between $400 and $16,000 for a minor breach.

• Norman has surgery on his left shoulder: Greg Norman had surgery on his left shoulder for the second time and hopes to get back to his limited golf schedule by July. Norman had arthroscopic surgery Monday at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, mainly to repair a torn labrum. The two-time British Open champion had surgery on the same shoulder in 1998, although his doctors said they were not related.

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, February 15, 2011 D3

Training Continued from D1 Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. and Mozeliak will accompany the 90-year-old Musial to Washington, where the Hall of Famer will receive the award Tuesday.

In Clearwater, Fla., Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he wants a contract extension before his team starts the season.

The most successful manager in franchise history is entering the final year of a deal he signed after leading the Phillies to the first of four straight division titles in 2007.

He’s making $2.4 million this season.

“I think once the season starts, I don’t want to talk about my contract,” Manuel said. “Hopefully something happens in spring training, and if not, my extension and contract, I definitely don’t want it to be a distraction for our team,” With Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels in the rotation, Manuel has what appears to be the top starting staff in the majors. Joined by No. 5 Joe Blanton, the Fab Five held a joint news conference.

“I think we haven’t thrown a single pitch as a group yet, so it’s kind of early to say we’re one of the best rotations in the history of the game,” said Lee, who chose to sign with the Phillies instead of the Texas Rangers and Yankees. “Obviously, we’re a very talented group, and there is potential for all of that. But it’s just that, it’s potential.”

Across the bay in Tampa, New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia said he is not concerned a provision in his $161 million, seven-year contract that gives him the ability to opt out after this season will become a distraction.

Sabathia went 21-7 with a 3.18 ERA in 34 starts last year. As the Yankees reported Monday, he said he still felt as though the clause wouldn’t be used.

“I don’t want to talk about that all year,” Sabathia said.

“I’m here to try and help this team win. I went through it with the free-agency thing. It’s not going to distract me at all.”

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner doesn’t think Sabathia will opt out.

“I think he’s happy here, and now he really knows what it’s like to be a Yankee,” Steinbrenner said. “Had another excellent year last year.

I think he’s here to stay.”

In Mesa, Ariz., closer Carlos Marmol and the Chicago Cubs avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $20 million, three-year contract.

“I grew up in this organization. I feel very proud,” said Marmol, who had 38 saves in 43 chances with a 2-3 record and 2.55 ERA last season.

In Scottsdale, Ariz., the Giants reported as World Series champions for the first time since winning the title in 1954.

“After what we were able to do last year, I wanted to be back hanging with the boys,” left-hander Jonathan Sanchez said. “It’s fun to get together for practice, in the bullpen and joke around, have a good time.”

One group of players gathered for a card game at a round table, others sat around chatting with reporters or clubhouse attendants. Catcher Buster Posey used a utility tool to work the laces on his glove.

“It’s going to be crazy here for the next couple of days,” Posey said.

Atlanta reported for its first spring training since 1990 without Bobby Cox, who retired as manager and was replaced by Fredi Gonzalez.

“We’re used to seeing him there at 7:30 in the morning with his spikes on,” pitcher Tim Hudson said. “I know we’re all going to miss that.

But we’ll see him around a lot. He’s a baseball man, and he’s an Atlanta Brave through and through. He’ll always be a part of this club.”

In Dunedin, former Boston pitching coach John Farrell arrived at his first spring training as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto hasn’t made the playoffs since winning consecutive World Series in 1992 and 1993, never finishing higher than third in the AL East. The Blue Jays haven’t won 90 games since 1993.

“There’s been no number placed on wins as a goal. To me, that’s counterproductive,” Farrell said Monday. “Our main focus will be on the things that we can control.”

Blazers keep Love in check, beat T’wolves NBA ROUNDUP

The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Making his first All-Star team has put a big ol’ target on Kevin Love’s back.

A motivated LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers were hitting it hard all night long.

Aldridge had 21 points, six boards and five assists and the Blazers stifled Love on both ends of the court in a 95-81 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

Wesley Matthews scored 23 points and Dante Cunningham had career highs with 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Blazers, who were out to show that their guy Aldridge should be going to Los Angeles instead of Love.

The Blazers have now won 16 straight games against the Timberwolves and five in a row overall, their longest winning streak of the season.

“I think people put more emphasis on it than I did,” Aldridge said. “I think this was just another game. I don’t think I tried to do more than I’ve done all season, what I’ve done lately. I think I played within myself, passed up shots for better shots. It’s just me.”

Love finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds, just barely extending his double-double streak to 41 games, the longest since Moses Malone had 44 in a row in the 1982-83 season. He only attempted seven shots and was

outworked all night by Cunningham and Aldridge.

“I did feel like they were coming at me,” Love said. “A lot of the time they were hitting rebounds out when they saw I could get a hand on it. But it wasn’t an advantage or disadvantage.”

Martell Webster led the Wolves with 17 points, but Minnesota got just one point, no rebounds and no assists combined from starters Jonny Flynn, Corey Brewer and Wes Johnson.

The Blazers held Minnesota to 39 percent shooting and scored 22 points off 18 Timberwolves turnovers. They started the game on an 18-2 run and never led by fewer than 10 points in the second half.

Rudy Fernandez scored 18 points off the bench and Portland out-rebounded the best rebounding team in the league, 41-35. The Blazers are now 21-11 without star guard Brandon Roy, who has been on the shelf after having arthroscopic surgery on both knees.

Coach Nate McMillan said before the game he still wasn’t sure when Roy and injured center Marcus Camby would return, but Aldridge has the Blazers humming right along without them.

Aldridge has always been productive, but he’s really blossomed since Roy went down. He

was named Western Conference player of the week on Monday after averaging 38.3 points in the previous three games.

SKIING: WORLD CUP

Svindal wins men’s super-combined

By Nesha Starcevic The Associated Press

G A R M I S C H - PA R T E N KIRCHEN, Germany — Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway recovered from a head-jarring crash to retain his super-combined world championship title Monday, while Christof Innerhofer of Italy earned his third medal in three races by taking silver.

Svindal — who was hurt after skiing into a barrier over the weekend — led comfortably after the downhill portion and hung on down a steep slalom course on the Gudiberg slope to stay ahead. Svindal now has nine world championship and Olympic medals, five of them gold.

“I was disappointed after (Saturday’s) downhill. I gave everything but it just didn’t go my way. That’s why I wanted to have another run, because I knew I could be a lot faster,” Svindal said.

Innerhofer, with one World Cup victory coming into the championships, now has the full range of medals here. He won gold in the super-G and bronze in the downhill.

“I still don’t believe it. I just tried to leave it all out there and risk everything,” Innerhofer said. “Right now everything is working for me. It’s my moment, my world championships.

“Every medal is different. The first medal, I had not dreamed of that. After the downhill, third place was like a gold medal as the snow was not like I prefer it. And now I feel as happy as if I won three golds.”

Innerhofer becomes the first Italian man to win three med-

Ross Continued from D1 “I really nailed the bottom part of the course,” Ross said.

“It wasn’t a perfect run, but it was one of the better runs that I’ve had.”

The first skier out of the gate, Ross registered the second-fastest speed of any skier on the lower section — 67 mph. She fell upon crossing the finish line but bounced right up and stuck her tongue out, as is her custom.

“She’s a tough chick,” U.S. speed coach Chip White said.

“She’s been building all season long and it’s really not a surprise for us, because we’ve been working with her for a long time and she’s doing a great job.

But she showed it on game day today and we’re psyched.”

Ross, who trained with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation in Bend, was born in Edmonton, Alberta, and moved from Canada to Klamath Falls when she was seven. Her father, Robert, competed for the Alberta ski team until he was 20 and taught Ross to ski when she was two.

“I don’t know if I actually did it or he carried me, but I’m glad he did that,” she said.

While Ross has dual citizenship, there was never any doubt she would compete for the U.S. Ski Team.

“It’s just sort of the practicality of it. It’s hard to switch countries when you already have your FIS license. You have to start over with points and everything, and I like the U.S. Ski Team, I like where I’m at and I love my teammates,” she said.

“There’s really no point in skiing for Canada when I live in the states.”

Laurenne has no trouble keeping busy off the slopes.

She’s an amateur photographer, she plays a multitude of instruments — piano, violin, cello and guitar — and also likes to sing and draw.

Ross got into photography when she took a class at Westminster College in Salt Lake City over the summer.

“I started developing and shooting my own stuff and that’s when I fell in love with the dark room and the process of photography in general,” she said, adding that she just bought herself a semiprofessional camera — check out some photos from her recent trip to Venice in her online blog at http://lalalaurenne.wordpress.com.

Her current instrument of choice is the guitar.

“I bring my guitar everywhere,” she said. “I used to travel with my violin, but I picked up the guitar last No-

Aksel Lund Svindal celebrates his gold medal on the podium after the men’s super-combined in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on Monday. als at worlds since Zeno Colo in 1950 in Aspen, Colo.

Another Italian, Peter Fill, captured a surprise bronze after benefiting from the mistakes of others.

While the favorite skipped the race altogether, several others flopped in the slalom leg.

Olympic champion Bode Miller’s slalom run was finished before the second gate and American teammate Ted Ligety missed a gate.

Olympic bronze medalist Silvan Zurbriggen and Beat Feuz of Switzerland, second after the downhill portion, both failed to finish the slalom run, while Benjamin Raich of Austria could not make up his big deficit from the downhill run and had to settle for fourth.

Vonn pulls out of ski worlds due to head injury GARMISCHPARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Lindsey Vonn has pulled out of her remaining events at the world championships to recuperate from her head injury.

The American made the announcement on her Facebook page Monday, saying her plan now “will be to take some time off and try to get 100 percent healthy again.”

She says she hopes to be healthy and fresh when the World Cup tour resumes at the end of the month in Are, Sweden.

Vonn sustained a mild concussion during training in Austria the week before worlds and was clearly not her normal self during her opening events.

She finished seventh in superG, pulled out after the downhill portion of the super-combined and took silver in the downhill Sunday.

She will miss the giant slalom and slalom, plus the team event.

vember and since then I’ve just been teaching myself.”

On occasion, she plays for her teammates.

“I am no Santana,” she said.

“I’m OK, but I mostly like to be able to accompany myself, because I like to sing, too.”

When she’s not taking pictures or singing, Ross is learning from two of the top athletes on the women’s circuit — Lindsey Vonn and Mancuso.

“You can learn a lot from them everyday, not only watching them ski but work out and see what their program is,” she said. “If you have a question in inspection, they’re super-willing to help, and it’s great to train with them because they’re super-fast and you’re always pushing to keep up. It’s cool to have fast teammates.”

Ross was also inspired by the big crowds at worlds, with about 50,000 fans on hand for the downhill.

“I can’t count how many people are here but I’ve never seen this many people ever at a ski race, personally,” she said.

“And yeah, it’s my first year on the World Cup and I’ve never been to the Olympics, but it’s a really big boost, because it makes you realize: It’s a really big deal and it’s really cool just to be here.”

Gymnasts

If you go

Continued from D1 From there, the offerings diversify. For example, all four academies field competitive gymnastics teams for girls, but only two — Acrovision and RGA — also offer competitive boys teams. “We chose to do the boys (team) because I think it’s a great sport for boys to do, even if they don’t do it competitively,� says Jamie Ellingsen, who owns RGA with her husband, Raytcho Gospodinov. “It really helps with any other sport that a boy does.�

While Cascade All-Star and COGA do not sponsor boys teams, they do offer preschools with educational curricula and gymnastics instruction. And Acrovision has an extensive martial arts program, including taekwondo, jiujitsu and judo. “Any kid that comes in here, we find somewhere for them to be if this is what they want to do,� says Watt of COGA’s philosophy, which seems to be shared by the other three Central Oregon facilities.

With so many gyms providing a variety of classes, adults might be disappointed to discover that their opportunities to become involved are somewhat limited.

But they do exist. Acrovision’s martial arts classes are available to adults, as is a gymnastics class available through Central Oregon Community College. RGA conducts an adult gymnastics class twice per week that Ellingsen says consists of a warm-up, stretching, skill work and conditioning.

And, of course, for any girl who dreams of being the next Nastia Liukin on the balance beam or any boy who wants to emulate Paul Hamm on the high bar, the local academies’ teams can help them get started.

After moving through the introductory levels, youngsters in Oregon can start competing at Level 4, rising through the USA Gymnastics levels as they advance in skill and age. The highest numbered level an athlete can reach is Level 10, after which the gymnast can try to attain elite-level status, though such lofty heights typically require years of training to achieve.

No matter the level, commitment and dedication are essential when a young gymnast decides to participate on a competitive team. The amount of time spent practicing increases as athletes progress through the levels, and the most advanced gymnasts in the area routinely work out for 20

BEND Acrovision Sports Center 63255 Jamison Road 541-388-5555 www.acrovisionsportscenter.com Offerings: Recreational gymnastics, competitive gymnastics (girls and boys teams), martial arts (taekwondo, jiujitsu, judo), cheerleading, open gyms, birthday parties Cascade All-Star Gymnastics 1045 S.E. Pauite Way 541-322-9791 www.cascadeallstargymnastics.com Offerings: Recreational gymnastics, competitive gymnastics (girls team), open gyms, preschool, birthday parties Central Oregon Gymnastics Academy 63060 Layton Avenue 541-385-1163 www.cogymnastics.com Offerings: Recreational gymnastics, competitive gymnastics (girls team), open gyms, preschool, birthday parties

REDMOND Redmond Gymnastics Academy 1789 S.W. Veterans Way 541-923-3513 Offerings: Recreational gymnastics, competitive gymnastics (girls and boys teams), open gyms, cheerleading, birthday parties, adult gymnastics hours or so per week. Competitive gymnasts often spend weekends at meets during the school year and practice year-round for state, regional and even national events — if they qualify — which are held in the spring at the upper levels.

And participation requires funding as well. For example, the monthly tuition for a beginning recreational gymnast at Cascade All-Star Gymnastics is $65 for one one-hour session per week, while the monthly tuition for a Level 5 boy or girl at Acrovision is $205 for three 3 1â „2 -hour sessions.

But the work — and the cost — can be worth it. “I think the athletes that come in here, it’s solely just passion for the sport,� says Lexy Archer, owner of Cascade All-Star Gymnastics. “It is a very intense training sport, but we have a lot of fun. We get to travel, we see different parts of the nation, different parts of the world.�

For example, last November, Blaine Davis, a gymnast at Acrovision, traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo., to participate in a national Future Stars competition for boys. And last May, Katelyn Ohlrich, a Level 10 athlete at Cascade All-Star Gymnastics, advanced to the USAG Junior Olympic National Championships in Dallas, Texas.

The owners of all four gyms have competitive gymnastics backgrounds — including some at the elite level — as do a number of their staff coaches.

Perhaps most notable is Mohini (Bhardwaj) Barry, who earned a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens as a member of the United States gymnastics team. “I think it’s a huge positive influence,� Archer says of having Barry on her staff at Cascade AllStar, “and even more so, just her coaching style and how she’s great with kids. That’s more important than anything, and that’s what’s shined through.�

On a recent evening at Acrovision, Mateo Garza, 10, and his little brother Alex, 6, tumble their way through a boys team practice while their mother, Erin Garza, watches from the facility’s viewing area.

The Garza brothers started their gymnastics careers in the recreational program at Cascade All-Star, where their sister, Clara, 8, is currently a Level 5 gymnast. The Bend boys have been on the Acrovision team for about three months and are expected to compete in a couple of meets this year. “Jumping around and being able to do fancy tricks is pretty exciting,� Erin Garza says.

She feels that the sport “is an excellent activity for any child.�

And Garza knows a lot about children, being both a mother and a pediatrician. “There’s so much coordination,â€? Garza says of gymnastics, “and the movement and balance and skill and strength at this sport, especially at the beginning levels ‌ gives them skills that they’ll use in everything else, too.â€?

t appeared to be the ride of her life. Nine-year-old Ani Husaby, of Bend, squeezed her eyebrows together in concentration as she clamped her petite legs around the sides of her horse.

She wasn’t worried about herself falling; it was the single dollar bill held under her thigh.

Ani and her horse, Bugsy, were competing in the Dollar Bill Bareback contest, one of several riding competitions at the Fat & Fuzzy All-Breed Horse Show on a recent Saturday in Bend. Fifty-five riders — from novices to seasoned veterans — competed in the first of four shows scheduled until May (see “If you go”).

Sarah Resor, of Silver Horse Ranch, started holding the Western and English riding events on her property three years ago after the main organizer retired, she said. “It seemed important to keep Fat and Fuzzy going. Attendance was good, and we got such positive feedback.”

Not only do the competitions get riders out during the offseason “when their horses might be fat and fuzzy from winter,” said Resor, but it also gives folks of all ages and skill levels a chance to show their horses. “We get lots of people, especially kids, who have never shown their horses before, and this is a perfect opportunity for them. The events are professionally run, but we welcome the inexperienced as much as the experienced.”

ADOPT ME Li’l Cassandra in need a home This is Cassandra, one of 11 kittens recently taken in by Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team in Bend.

She is accustomed to living with cats and a dog. She has been altered, vaccinated and ID microchipped.

Submitted photo If you would like to visit Cassandra, or any other pet available for adoption through the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team, contact the organization at 541-389-8420 or info@craftcats.org, or visit www.craftcats.org.

I grew up in an apartment building that didn’t allow pets, so I was slightly nervous when my husband, Jamie, and I adopted a dog nearly a decade ago.

But it didn’t take long before the aptly named Scrappy won me over, with her soft, floppy ears, oversized paws, clumsy playfulness and penchant for curling up on my feet. In fact, she quickly became a beloved member of the family, despite her unfortunate habit of running away and rolling around in foul-smelling messes.

Clearly, Scrappy brought a lot of happiness into our home, but Jamie has always insisted that having her around actually made him feel better: less anxious, for one thing, and much more relaxed.

A small body of research suggests that my husband was right. “We know that pets can have a positive health impact on people who feel positively about them,” said Erika Friedmann, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing and president of the International Society for Anthrozoology, whose members study human-animal interaction.

Friedmann’s seminal 1980 research found that heart disease patients with pets had better oneyear survival rates than similar patients without pets.

E2 Tuesday, February 15, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Obesity is serious health issue best approached with tact Dear Abby: Allow me to respond to the column about obesity in the United States (Dec. 27).

Why has obesity in the U.S. become the “elephant in the room,” off-limits to discuss? Obesity is a serious health problem and should be talked about. Obese people need to understand the potential dangers of their condition, just as smokers do.

I was berated by my family, friends and the media for being a smoker. Did I disown them all?

No, I sucked it up and quit. Overweight people should take control of their lives, and people like you, Abby, should stop coddling them!

— Peter In Bend, Ore. Dear Peter: Ouch! Many readers also felt I should eat my words — including health care professionals. Read on for more insights: Dear Abby: As a public health nutritionist, I would like to bring another perspective to “Brother Black Sheep,” whose sister banned him from family events because he mentioned the obesity epidemic. Because obesity has far-reaching implications for our children, our future and our economy, it is well worth talking about.

Declaring the topic off-limits won’t make it go away. Researchers at Stanford University have found that more than 40 percent of parents of obese children described them as “about the right weight.” Another study showed that only 30 percent of pediatricians addressed weight issues with their patients. Those who did were more likely to see positive changes in their patients’ nutrition and activity habits.

Tact is, of course, important,

Food, Home & Garden In AT HOME Every Tuesday

DEAR ABBY “I was berated by my family, friends and the media for being a smoker. Did I disown them all? No, I sucked it up and quit.

Overweight people should take control of their lives, and people like you, Abby, should stop coddling them!”

— Peter In Bend, Ore. and it appears “Brother” could use some help in that department. Acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining a healthy weight when we are surrounded by hyper-palatable foods and live in an environment that discourages activity is a good conversation starter. Using the phrase “high BMI” (Body Mass Index) is better received than the word “fat.” Hopefully, families can learn to talk productively about how to support each other to eat right and stay active instead of banning the subject.

— Anita Courtney, M.S., R.D. Dear Abby: I’m a fourthyear medical student, and you wouldn’t believe the number of patients we see who don’t believe they have a weight problem, or who think they’re “slightly overweight” when they’re actually morbidly obese. A main reason for weight gain is that most Americans have no concept of

portion control and healthy eating habits.

Many people would prefer a magic pill instead of attempting difficult behavioral changes. While weight is obviously a sensitive topic for many individuals, and “Brother” was mistaken in assuming it would be acceptable dinnertime conversation, ignoring the topic is what got us into this epidemic in the first place.

I challenge “Brother” to introduce his relatives to the sensible habits he learned abroad -- walking, healthier meals with smaller portions, and less fried, salted, sugary processed foods. Supportive family members are often far more effective than a doctor’s lecture on the perils of obesity, and I wish him luck in his endeavors.

— Med Student With No Magic Pill Dear Readers: If, after reading this, any of you are interested in a tried-and-true program for weight loss, Overeaters Anonymous is a 12-step self-help group that started in 1960. It has been mentioned in this column many times.

Its website is www.oa.org; the phone number is 505-8912664. There are more than 9,000 O.A. groups in the U.S. and internationally.

Whitaker puts his weight behind CBS’ new, predictable crime series

By Neal Justin (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

LOS ANGELES — Forest Whitaker has portrayed a tortured jazz pioneer, a gay clothing designer, a samurai hitman, a charismatic pool hustler and a maniacal dictator, so it’s a bit shocking that he’s now chosen to play a clone.

The Oscarwinning star may lull you into believing that Sam Cooper, his role in Forest the new CBS Whitaker series “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior,” is a rich, complex character — especially when Whitaker is delivering his sales pitch from the set that he helped design. But watch more than 10 minutes of Wednesday’s premiere and you’ll quickly realize that the dude is just one more lone-wolf investigator whose only purpose in life is to take a bite out of crime.

It may not be Whitaker’s most creative decision, but it’s probably one of his smartest. CBS remains TV’s most-watched network because it keeps churning out hour after hour of detectives chasing the sickest killers on Earth, with little time to make goo-goo eyes at their colleagues.

This carbon-copy approach can rattle established stars. William Petersen and Mark Harmon both criticized the network for green-lighting spinoffs of their shows, “CSI” and “NCIS,” because they worried their audi-

‘Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior’ When: 10 p.m. Wednesdays Where: CBS

ence would get weary of being served the same ol’ thing.

They overestimated our appetite for variety. Three “CSI” series are co-existing just fine, and “NCIS” is enjoying its best ratings ever, even with the arrival last season of “NCIS: LA.” “Yeah, there’s a lot of crime dramas out there, but there’s also a lot of soaps out there,” said co-executive producer Deborah Spera. “Is there an end in sight?

I doubt it. Look at the crime section in the bookstore. It’s one of the most popular sections. People are fascinated by crime, how it works, who does them and how they are solved.”

I’ll buy that, but does the hero have to be so, well, familiar?

Take Whitaker’s Cooper.

He is the very best in his field (well, except for Mark Harmon on “NCIS”), he’s supersensitive about victims (almost as much as David Caruso on “CSI: NY”), and he keeps to himself (kinda like Joe Mantegna on “Criminal Minds”). You could swap “CSI’s” Laurence Fishburne for “CSI: New York’s” Gary Sinise and I probably wouldn’t notice until the second batch of commercials.

It’s not that “Suspect Behavior” is bad. Viewers will have fun trying to figure out the motive of the kidnapper in this week’s premiere, and I got a kick out of a fu-

Over Ye ars i4n0 Cent Oregornal

Featured Business of the Week:

Sewing & Vacuum Center

ture episode in which a beloved TV star from decades ago is cast as an unhinged killer. (Hint: It’s not Alf.) It’s well-baked meatloaf — but it’s still meatloaf.

Why not shake up the recipe?

I wish CBS had the creative juices to spotlight a crime fighter who wears a hand-me-down hat from McCloud and fights rural moonshiners in Kentucky (the FX channel’s “Justified”) or a government agent who ends his days of going after the mob by whipping himself on the back in his seedy hotel room (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”).

Too much? Well, what about casting Janeane Garofalo as the lead? She’s actually part of the cast of “Suspect Behavior,” although you’ll be forgiven if you don’t notice. Garofalo, who used to make fun of these kind of commercial dramas, seems to spend most of her time hiding from the camera in fear that she might lose her alt-comedy credentials.

Instead, a gutsy producer would give her center stage and an itchy trigger finger. That’s the kind of suspect behavior I could get behind.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011: This year, you will be juggling many responsibilities with your ability to be extremely innovative. The question might be where it would be most effective to streamline the process.

Explore creative options. Those at a distance don’t seem to be as receptive or as caring as in the past. If you are single, you could meet a fun playmate to share with in the spring. If you are attached, the two of you do a lot more sharing and bond even more strongly. A CANCER in your daily life adds to the quality of your life.

A baby born today, Feb. 15, 2011, is an Aquarius with a Moon in Cancer.

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 Stay centered. Your time will come. Calming down a volatile situation might be a problem.

Perhaps letting it go might be best.

Through observing, an unexpected insight becomes plausible. Tonight: Home is where the heart is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others might be in a unique position of facilitating one of your long-wished-for goals. You will gain a perspective about others as a result of what occurs. Know when to say “enough” or to delegate.

You cannot be everything to all people. Tonight: Visit with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not appreciate being on a budget, yet you might not be able to do otherwise. Your sense of direction comes into play, as well as long-term goals. An unexpected offer or opportunity could color your perspective. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your smile goes a long way toward making you a winner.

Evaluate and consider your options with more depth. Unexpected avenues will open up if you are willing to let go of your comfort level mentally. Look at your rigidity about issues. Perhaps that locked thinking is really about protection.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Know when not to get involved.

Someone you count on reveals unusual unpredictability. Decide to trust his or her judgment and sit on the sideline in order to see what comes up. Fatigue could mark your decisions. Buy time rather than act.

Tonight: Much-needed personal time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH A meeting clears the air. The spirit of cooperation is renewed. Still, you find others to be full of surprises.

Honor each person’s uniqueness. A great idea floats in from out of left field.

Knowing your limits is key. Tonight: Only where there are crowds.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A must appearance is clearly the only way to go. Investigate a new technique or technology. You don’t need to understand what is motivating someone; simply decide if you can deal with his or her energy. Negativity needs to be curbed, in either case.

Tonight: Forget obligations. Be happy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Follow through on a lead.

Think about what is presented. An unusual idea comes forward that at first you might need to rethink. Be careful if you feel that you are heading in the wrong direction. Tonight: Follow an emotional suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Work with individuals, knowing full well what is happening and your choices. A meeting could be difficult, creating an underlying sense of tension. Postpone dealing with a private matter until you have the time to process and really think it through. Tonight: Where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep talking and sharing.

People in general might command a lot of attention. You know how far you are willing to go. Reveal more of your thoughts, yet be willing to deal with different ideas as well. A boss could be difficult.

Tonight: Go with another’s plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Remain easygoing, but don’t allow your finances to get involved with a choice of direction.

You might wonder what is the best way to handle someone who feels that he or she has more say-so in your life than you would like.

Perhaps an honest chat is needed.

Tonight: Choose a relaxing activity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your creativity keeps bubbling up. The real decision is which idea you want to follow through on. You could jolt not only others but also yourself with the decisions you make. Remain easygoing, despite a partner’s innate tension-laden behavior. Tonight: Lighten up. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

David Johnson / For The Bulletin

Vendors at the Silver Horse Ranch in Bend sell food to accommodate humans and horses alike.

But what about health hazards?

Experts say the biggest issue is bites, although there is also a range of diseases that can be transmitted from pets to people, including worms, toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever. A study published online in Pediatrics last summer demonstrated that humans contracted salmonella from contaminated dry dog and cat food between 2006 and 2008, with nearly half of the cases found in young children.

“The risks are there, but they are relatively small,” said Sandra Barker, a professor of psychiatry and the director of the Center for Human-Animal Interaction at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. She notes that immune-compromised people should not have turtles and birds and may need to take extra precautions with other animals, but otherwise “common sense and appropriate hygiene go a long way toward preventing any problems: Just wash hands, wash hands, wash hands, and especially wash children’s hands.”

What can be far more difficult to deal with — and have a much larger impact on emotional health and well-being — is losing a treasured pet, says Barker.

That’s something we discovered firsthand last fall, when Scrappy was hit by a car and died. I didn’t stop crying for a week, and I’m still tearing up just writing about it. But the experience has taught me that Scrappy did make our household a calmer, more relaxed place. Our relationship was uncomplicated and unconditional, and I know now that, like my husband, I truly felt better when that sweet mutt was around.

Health Continued from E1 More recently, studies have shown that pet ownership is associated with reduced stress, lower blood pressure, fewer doctor visits, less loneliness and increased social connectivity, and higher levels of physical activity.

Still, the findings haven’t all been positive: Research published in a Scandinavian psychiatric journal followed 424 patients admitted to the hospital with acute coronary syndrome and found that pet owners — cat owners, in particular — were more likely to be re-admitted or die within a year than patients who did not have cats. And the role of Fido or Fifi in childhood asthma and allergies remains an especially gray area, with some studies reporting that having a family pet early in life can trigger the development of these diseases, and others showing that the presence of an animal is a protective factor.

The confusion continued last fall, with the publication of a long-term study of 636 children in the Journal of Pediatrics. Researchers showed that kids with dog allergies were less likely to develop eczema by age 4 if they lived with a dog during their first year of life. The exact opposite was true for children who were allergic to cats and grew up with a cat in the house: They had a significantly increased risk of developing eczema later on than similar children who had no cat.

There’s clearly a need for more — and better — scientific evidence about the link between pets and health.

“There is some good, solid research out there — a lot of tantalizing small studies — but there are also some methodological flaws with evidence for the positive effects of pets,” said James Griffin, a scientist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. One major limitation he cites is the difficulty of running “blind” studies, since people know when they are interacting with an animal.

“That said, there are also a lot of methodological flaws in studies

A doggone helpful app

By Helena Oliviero Cox Newspapers

ATLANTA — Eighth-grader Preston Oakes has long been concerned about the number of dogs euthanized every year.

Maybe, he thought, if families did a little more research and found a good match from the getgo, they would be less likely to abandon the dog later on.

That was the spark that led Preston to turn a desire to save dogs into a science project. Now his science project — dubbed Dog-A-Pedia — has quickly barked its way up among the hottest new apps for the Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7.

Dog-A-Pedia is a reference guide to 159 breeds of dogs — and counting. The free app has shot up into the Top 10 in the “books and references” category of Windows phone apps.

The app might seem a little elementary to aficionados of the annual Westminster Dog Show.

But for those needing help in distinguishing a basset hound from a beagle, Dog-A-Pedia could be your Windows phone’s new best friend.

Dog-A-Pedia lists a dog’s average weight, height, color, lifespan and whether a dog is hypoallergenic, among other things. It also offers photos so cute every one seems to scream, “Adopt me!”

“I thought it would be mainly friends and family — 50 downloads tops,” said Preston, 14.

He said he doesn’t see his app as providing all the answers to canine questions, but rather as a good starting point for research.

His family did plenty of its own when they got their black-haired Havanese, weighing 10 pounds.

With some in the family having

allergies, it was important the dog be hypoallergenic.

When Preston’s technology fair coach, Ridvan Ay, first heard about the project idea, he was unsure his student could pull it off.

“To be honest, it sounded quite complicated,” Ay said.

Preston started from scratch.

He downloaded an app developer kit and watched tutorial videos, including one for “absolute beginners.” From there, he gathered the information and photographs and uploaded them.

The Oakes family dog, Wishes, joined the family about six years ago.

Since Preston was the only one to enter in the “programming” category at his charter school, he automatically went on to the county level. At the county-level competition, his project placed third, meaning he was done competing further.

His app, however, is competing quite well in the world of app choices. It’s picked up some buzz, even named a “pick of the week” by one tech website that monitors new apps.

Preston plans to continue upgrading the app. First up is adding size and weight measurements in millimeters and kilograms. More than half of Dog-APedia’s users so far are overseas in countries that use the metric system.

Continued from E1 By early afternoon, temperatures hovered at 50 degrees as Resor walked with a microphone between the indoor and outdoor arenas and the outdoor trail course to do the announcing. Spectators milled about and vendors sold hot and cold drinks, grilled hamburgers and even carrots for the horses.

Ani, a third-grader at High Lakes Elementary in Bend, was the youngest competitor in the bareback contest, where participants try to keep the dollar bill from falling as their horses move

at faster speeds and turn in tighter circles. All that concentration paid off when she was the only rider among a group of teenagers and young adults who didn’t drop the bill pinned under her leg. Proudly displaying the $7 she won, she said, “I’m going to save it until I have enough to buy something special for me and my horse.”

Riders’ entry fees help pay the three judges, said Resor. One of them, Samantha Tuttle, stood armed with a clipboard and marker as she observed riders’ postures and movements during the English Equitation competition. Generally, horse and rider are more polished in summer

when they’ve had more opportunities to ride, said Tuttle. Even so, “Everyone is doing well today, and I think the horses appreciate that there’s no heat and no flies.”

A nationally known celebrity who competed with her horse drew lots of wows from spectators. Tammy Hardy, of Tumalo, is best known for winning the 2008 National Extreme Cowboy Race, a competition typically dominated by rough-and-tumble males.

And yet there she was in the Fat & Fuzzy reining event, riding without a bridle atop her quarter horse, Little Bucks Bunny.

“I don’t know how she makes it look so easy,” said Resor. “Do-

ing that is like driving a car with your knees instead of your hands in a race.”

Resor donates part of the proceeds from each show to a nonprofit group, most recently to the Summit High School Equestrian Team. Member Elle Michalski is a senior who showed up with her leased horse named Dunny to compete in the barrel racing and pole bending events. She gets good practice for the Central District Oregon High School Equestrian Team meets, she said.

Plus, “I love being here. I get so pumped.”

not showing that association or showing negative effects.”

NICHD has created a partnership with the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, a division of foodmaker Mars, to encourage better research on human-animal interaction; there are currently seven such studies underway.

“We need to know what are the underlying mechanisms that are actually behind these potential health benefits,” said Griffin.

He notes, for example, that early research suggests a possible release of the hormone oxytocin, which can lower stress hormone levels, when people are around their dogs and possibly other pets. “This shows that at the physiological level, there’s a response that corresponds with the bond people feel with animals. It’s also related to stress reduction, which is thought to be what underlies some of the strong findings with the cardiovascular system, like heart attack recovery. But we need to know more.”

Griffin points out that one factor that must be considered is the actual relationship between a pet and its owner. “If you don’t like the cat in your household, it is very unlikely that cat is going to reduce your stress levels, versus if you’re very attached — it lays in your lap and you pet it — it’s probably much more likely to have that effect,” he said.

Are pets not just good for your mood but also good for your health? Scrappy brought more than floppy ears to the author’s family.

GARDEN

Greenhouse doesn’t have to be winter wasteland It has many uses beyond storage, even without heat

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

For gardeners, it is at least a couple of months before you can look forward to handling dirt, and the term “cabin fever” has taken on a whole new meaning.

Central Oregon’s winter weather can be hard on a gardener, but greenhouse owners have options.

While it may be too early to start most seeds, there should be something you could do out there. After all, the structure is an investment, and it’s a shame to just let the greenhouse sit empty.

Greenhouses use solar radiation to trap heat.

This system of heating and circulating air helps to create an artificial environment in a greenhouse that can sustain plants when the outdoor temperature is too cool or variable. Heat enters the greenhouse through its covering of glass or plastic and starts to warm the objects, soil and plants inside.

The warmed air near the soil begins to rise and is replaced with cooler surrounding air that starts to heat up. This cycle raises the temperature inside the greenhouse more rapidly than the air outside, creating a sheltered, warmer microclimate.

With a little creativity, you can use your greenhouse to help shake those winter doldrums. There are enjoyable ways to use your greenhouse right now, says Gary English of Landsystems Nursery in Bend.

“The easiest greenhouse use during the winter may be to store your wheelbarrow, gardening tools and other things you won’t need until spring,” English said.

causing free radicals.

So including beets in your diet all year long is a very good move.

These days, one popular approach is the roasted beet salad. There are dozens of variations to consider, including my hearty winter creation (see recipe, Page F2).

Beets are also wonderful, of course, as an accompaniment to savory dishes with a citrus theme, sauteed with a variety of winter greens, and in the company of such aromatic herbs as tarragon, chervil, dill, fennel and plain old parsley.

Finishing beets A few ideas from one of my favorite cookbooks, “The Victory Garden Cookbook” by Marian Morash: • With cream: Coat 2½ cups of diced or sliced beets with ¼ cup of heavy cream mixed with ¼ cup sour cream and warm together without boiling. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill.

• With butter: Reheat in melted butter, about 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter for 2½ cups of beets. Season with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice.

• With vinaigrette: Peel, slice and serve beets warm, dressed to taste with your favorite vinaigrette.

Tina Walker Davis’ love of books and the written word go back to her childhood, when she read everything she could get her hands on.

It’s no wonder she became the owner of her own bookstore. As the founder of Bend’s Camalli Book Co., Davis is proud that she’s about to celebrate the shop’s fourth anniversary, even though it’s also been economically difficult.

“I opened this shop in 2007, when the economy tanked, and it’s been challenging, very challenging as an independent bookseller. But it is a joy to be at the shop, and I love my customers,” says Davis, sitting in her west Bend home. “There are seven independent booksellers in Bend, so there’s a lot of competition, but we all help each other out.”

The name of her shop honors her two children, Cameron and Allison. When the first two parts of their names are combined, it becomes “Camalli.”

COVER STORY

Beets

GRATED SAUTEED BEETS

Continued from F1 Since these pigments are water soluble, when they come in contact with water, the color will leach out of the beet and into the water. If they weren’t water soluble, borscht would be colorless.

But for centuries, cooks have known to cut their beets into tiny pieces so the dye could leach into the broth and produce a brilliant beet-red soup Conversely, to minimize the bleeding, avoid cutting into the flesh of beets before cooking in a liquid. Leave about 1 inch of the greens intact, as well as the thin, hairy root tip. In other words, unless you want to color the entire preparation (as in the borscht), trimming, peeling and chopping occurs after cooking. As far as cooking techniques are concerned, the most basic methods include steaming, boiling, roasting and grilling (after a quick parboil).

Here’s a recipe that won me over at a banquet. It’s simplicity itself: Grate peeled or small, unpeeled raw beets, and you’re all set to cook. The beets retain a slight crunch and all their basic flavor.

4 med beets 4 TBS butter Fresh lemon juice

Here’s my rendition of the popular concept of roasted beet salad.

Makes 4 servings.

Salt and freshly ground pepper Chopped fresh dill or parsley

3 med beets 3 portobello mushroom caps ½ C plus 2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 3 TBS red wine vinegar 2 TBS balsamic vinegar 1 tsp Dijon mustard 5 oz baby arugula 5 oz baby spinach ½ C coarsely chopped roasted and skinned hazelnuts 2 shallots, sliced into thin rounds ¼ C fresh parsley leaves About 4 oz goat cheese (or crumbled feta or blue cheese) Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Wash, peel and coarsely grate the beets. In a covered frying pan, melt butter, add beets, and stir to coat with butter, then sprinkle with lemon juice to taste. Cover and cook over medium to low heat for approximately 10 minutes, checking occasionally to see that the beets don’t burn. You could add a few spoonfuls of stock or water to prevent sticking. Cook just until tender, then season with salt, pepper and additional lemon juice if needed. Sprinkle with dill or parsley. Makes 4 servings.

Variations: You can also cook beets before grating, or use leftover cooked beets. Or, grate other vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots and parsnips, cook separately, and arrange in mounds on a vegetable platter.

— From “The Victory Garden Cookbook” by Marian Morash cooked or roasted beets.

Whole roasted beets

ground black pepper. Add a dash of white or red wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar if you have it).

Roast in a 400-degree oven for about 45 minutes, until softened when poked with a fork. Before serving, add another splash of vinegar if desired and adjust the seasonings.

Trim away most of the stems, leaving at least a nub of stem so that you don’t pierce the skin of the beet; otherwise the beets will bleed into the water. Place the prepared beets in a pan of unsalted cold water. After bringing them to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the beets are barely tender.

Count on 25 to 30 minutes for a 1½-inch beet.

Trim and wash whole beets, leaving skins on. Put beets into an ovenproof pan, cover and bake in a 300-degree oven until tender.

Figure on 1 hour for 1½-inch beets.

Beets cook best at a low temperature (at higher temperatures, without moisture, the result is a richer, but almost charred flavor), but when you’re baking other dishes at a higher temperature, such as 350 degrees or 375 degrees, add about a quarter-inch of water to the dish and check occasionally to make sure the water doesn’t evaporate.

Place them in a preheated 350degree oven and steam them in their own juices until they sizzle and are tender-crisp, about 1 hour. Remove the foil, allow the beets to stand until they can be handled, and then proceed with any recipe calling for

If the beets are small and tender, you don’t have to peel them.

Warm roasted beet and portobello salad highlights the earthy flavor of beets.

HOT RED KIEV BORSCHT This recipe was acquired by the late Bert Greene on a trip to the Ukraine many years ago, where he found the morning borscht flavored with ham and sausage. The raw beets are grated directly into the stockpot to give the brew a rich, deep color.

2¾ qts chicken broth 1 lb cooked ham (you will chop it after the soup has cooked) 2 TBS unsalted butter 1 TBS oil 1 lg onion, finely chopped 1 lg clove garlic, minced 1 lg carrot, peeled, finely chopped 1 turnip, peeled, finely chopped 1 parsnip, peeled, finely chopped 2 lg tomatoes, seeded,

chopped 1 lb beets, peeled, roughly grated to equal about 2½ C 1 sm cabbage (about 1 pound, shredded) 1 lb potatoes, peeled, diced ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 ⁄8 tsp ground ginger 2 TBS red wine vinegar 1 lb Kielbasa (Polish sausage), sliced Salt 1 TBS chopped fresh parsley

Place the chicken broth and the ham in a large heavy pot. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Remove the ham and allow it to cool. Reserve the broth. Shred/chop the ham and set aside.

Heat the butter with the oil in another large heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion; cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the carrot, turnip, parsnip, tomatoes, and grated beets. Add 2½ cups of the reserved chicken broth. Heat to boiling; reduce the heat. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.

Add the remaining chicken broth to the vegetable mixture. Add the reserved ham, the cabbage and the potatoes. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in the pepper, ginger and vinegar. Continue to cook, covered, over low heat for 1 hour. (Recipe may be prepared up to 24 hours in advance to this point, cooled and refrigerated until ready to serve. The flavor will improve as it stands.)

To serve, reheat the soup if it was made in advance, and add the sliced sausage. Simmer, partially covered, about 15 minutes, until the sausage is hot. Adjust seasonings, adding additional salt or vinegar if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the beets and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and fold the sides up to make a sealed pouch. Wash and dry the mushroom caps, then place them on another large sheet of foil. Drizzle the mushrooms with another tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Do not cover the mushrooms; you want them to become a little richly colored. Place the beets and mushrooms in the oven. Bake the mushrooms for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked through and darkened in color. Bake the beets for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.

Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegars, mustard and remaining ½ cup of olive oil. Whisk in salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then set aside.

When the beets and mushrooms are fully cooked, remove them from the oven. Slice the mushrooms into strips and place them back onto the foil or roasting pan. Toss the warm mushrooms with some of the vinaigrette and then cover with foil to keep warm. With a knife, remove the tops from the beets, and pare or rub the skins off by hand. While the beets are still warm, slice them and drizzle lightly with some of the vinaigrette, then cover in the foil to keep them warm until serving.

In a salad bowl, toss together the arugula, spinach, hazelnuts, shallots, parsley and enough of the dressing to thoroughly moisten the ingredients. Note: In a pinch, use romaine lettuce or another mix of greens.

To serve, arrange a serving of the arugula mixture onto each plate and top each one with portions of the beets and mushrooms. Add a portion of the goat cheese (or crumbled feta or blue cheese), then drizzle on a little more of the vinaigrette.

Simple and bold curried slaw

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

Q:

I recently dined at Mustards Grill in Napa. We had the most delicious crispy calamari with a curried slaw

that was out of this world. I’m hoping you can get the recipe for the slaw. I would go there every day if I lived in the area. Thanks.

We loved the brightness and depth of flavor in this

A:

so-simple recipe. It works as a perfect side dish, whether you’re hosting a formal dinner or having the gang over to watch a movie.

MUSTARDS GRILL’S CURRIED SLAW Makes 4 to 8 servings.

Note: Adapted from a recipe in “Mustards Grill Napa Valley Cookbook” by Cindy Pawlcyn with Brigid Callinan. Indian curry paste can be found in many well-stocked supermarkets as well as specialty stores.

Curry vinaigrette 2 TBS prepared Indian curry paste 1 TBS Dijon mustard 2 TBS lemon juice 2 TBS rice vinegar ¼ tsp salt

¾ tsp freshly ground pepper ¼ C plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Slaw and assembly 4 C thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1⁄3 head) 1 carrot, peeled and grated

1 red Fresno or jalapeño chile, seeded and thinly sliced ¼ C fresh cilantro leaves 2 green onions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced on the diagonal

In a medium bowl, whisk together the curry paste, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper until the salt is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, and continue to whisk until fully emulsified. This makes a scant cup of vinaigrette, which will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrot and chile.

Stir the vinaigrette to make sure it is emulsified and toss the slaw with just enough to coat lightly; you may not use all of the vinaigrette. Place the slaw in a serving bowl or divide onto plates. Garnish the bowl or servings with the cilantro leaves and green onion.

F Tinker with French toast? Sacré bleu!

The classic preparation is great, but don’t dismiss variations

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST Makes 4 servings.

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

3 eggs 1 C heavy cream ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp sugar 1 ⁄8 tsp cinnamon 1 ⁄8 tsp nutmeg 6 (1-inch thick) slices bread,

I admit it. I’ve had a lifelong love affair with French toast.

When I was a kid, there was a simple magic to it: The way the soaked bread would puff in the pan, the toast crisping to a rich, golden brown in the hot fat. Fresh out of the pan, the dish was topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, like a dusting of fresh snow. This was dessert for breakfast — it almost felt wrong.

With each bite, the crisp, almost brittle crust would give way to a tender, soft-as-a-pillow interior, subtle with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and fragrant notes of vanilla.

As I started to cook for myself, it became a go-to recipe for its sheer ease and simplicity.

French toast remains a favorite breakfast choice. Done right, there’s an unpretentious beauty to this classic comfort food. But there is an art to French toast.

Sometimes there’s nothing as tempting as a plate of crisp, thick slices piled high on a plate with a sprinkling of sugar. But this is one dish that’s not limited to the classic presentation. Try soaking the toast overnight, then baking it as a casserole the next morning; the toast will swell like a souffle in the oven as the scent of spiced custard fills the house.

Or try stuffing the bread before frying, hiding a pocket of soft cheese, maybe chocolate or even a savory filling inside. This is one dish that’s not limited to the skillet, or even the breakfast plate.

such as challah or brioche, somewhat stale 3 TBS butter or bacon fat, divided Powdered sugar, as desired Maple syrup, preferably grade B, as desired

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the cream, then the vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the batter into a wide, shallow baking dish.

Soak the bread slices on each side, about 2 minutes per side.

Heat a large, heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat until hot.

Melt a tablespoon of butter in the hot pan, then add 2 slices of the bread. Reduce the heat and fry the slices gently on each side until the bread is crisp and golden-brown, and the inside of the bread is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cover the pan while cooking so the bread toasts evenly and thoroughly.

Remove the toast and hold on a baking sheet in a warm oven until all of the slices are toasted. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Slice each piece of toast in half and plate 3 half slices on each of 4 plates. Dust each with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with warm maple syrup.

Classic French toast Great French toast starts with the bread, but though almost any bread can be used in a French toast recipe, enriched breads with a loose structure, such as brioche or challah, are favorites.

Still, whole-grain breads can give the toast an almost rustic appeal.

Slice the bread thick — about an inch — so there is still plenty of soft interior after the exterior of the bread crisps. Let the slices dry a little — dry bread, like a dry sponge, will absorb the custard batter more readily.

With the custard, it’s all about the ratio of dairy to eggs. Recipes will vary — a few eggs can be whisked with as little as a couple of tablespoons or as much as a cup of dairy. The more dairy, the lighter the custard; less dairy means a heavier, richer custard with the egg more prominent.

And though milk works fine in the custard base, nothing beats the richness and silky texture of cream.

Add other flavors to the custard with a light hand, so as not to interfere too much with the toppings. Vanilla or almond extract will add a little richness, citrus zest will brighten the flavors and a dash of liqueur will add extra personality. A little spice — cinnamon, nutmeg — is classic, and a pinch of star anise, cardamom or allspice might add an exotic note. Or try a little chile powder, paprika or garlic for a savory take on the dish.

Leave the bread in the custard long enough to get soaked through but not completely saturated, maybe a couple of minutes on each side, depending on the bread. Then gently fry the bread in a hot skillet lightly coated with fat. Butter is traditional (and nothing beats the flavor of a little browned butter), though it can burn if not watched closely. Clarified butter or a neutral oil also works well. For more robust flavor, go with a hardier fat, such as bacon grease.

And though a skillet or griddle is the most common, it is by no means the only way to cook French toast. Try cooking it in a waffle iron or even a panini press (great for stuffed French toast). If using a skillet, make sure it is heavy enough to evenly heat, and cover the toast as it’s frying so it cooks evenly.

Baked French toast French toast can also be baked.

Bread slices are assembled in a baking dish with the custard poured over to soak. Baked like a casserole, the toast souffles

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the traditional dish, topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup, either. Be sure to slice the bread thick so the interior stays soft while the outside crisps.

SAVORY STUFFED FRENCH TOAST Photos by Glenn Koenig / Los Angeles Times

Soaking bread overnight and then baking it turns classic French toast into a custardy souffle like this white chocolate version. Even better, all the prep is done the night before to allow for an overnight soak, so all you have to do in the morning is slide it into the oven. in the oven, still crisp but much more like a bread pudding in texture.

It’s a versatile dish. Bake the French toast with a light touch of spice, maybe a little vanilla or citrus zest, or play with the toppings and flavorings. Top the bread with diced fruit or berries, and add some chopped nuts, chocolate chips or a streusel topping. Add white chocolate to the custard base as a nod to white chocolate bread pudding.

For a savory take, eliminate the sugar and add diced sausage and mushrooms, onions or leeks.

Add a little heat with chiles or diced peppers, and top with a grating of cheese.

Maybe the best thing about baked French toast is that virtually all the work is done ahead of time. Assemble the dish the night before to soak and refrigerate it. The next morning, remove the baking dish from the fridge as the oven heats so it can warm slightly (for even baking).

Top the bread with whatever you want, then put it in the oven. In less than an hour, breakfast is ready. It’s a perfect dish when you have houseguests.

Stuffed French toast There must be a reason stuffed French toast seems to be showing up on more menus lately. Maybe because you can never have too much of a good thing. Slices of battered bread are sandwiched around a variety of fillings — jams, cream cheese, mascarpone — before frying, then plated with a wide variety of sauces, glazes and toppings.

Methods vary, but the process is fairly simple: Use thinner slices of bread and batter them as you would for classic French toast (batter on one side only if you have a particularly moist filling). Then fill the sandwich.

Use a thick jam or a fruit compote, try a flavored or herbed soft cheese or even a spread (Nutella, anyone?). Spoon the filling onto one side of the sand-

BAKED FRENCH TOAST Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Note: Should be soaked overnight.

2 C heavy cream Finely grated zest of 1 orange 1¼ C white chocolate chips 1 C granulated sugar, divided 2 C milk 2 eggs, beaten 3 egg yolks, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp almond extract 1 (1-lb) loaf stale French or Italian bread, cut into 1inch slices

½ C flour ¼ C light brown sugar 1 C sliced almonds ¼ C plus 2 tablespoons (¾ stick) butter, cut into ½inch pieces 1 lb cherries, berries or chopped stone fruit or bananas (you can use frozen fruit; simply thaw and drain well before using)

In a medium saucepan, heat the cream and orange zest over medium heat. Place the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl.

When the cream comes to a simmer, remove the pan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, whisking until the chips dissolve. Whisk three-fourths cup granulated sugar into the mixture, then the milk, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and almond extract to form a custard base.

Place the bread slices in a single layer in 2 greased 8-inch square baking dishes and pour over the custard; the bread may need to be squeezed into the dishes to fit. Cover the bread and refrigerate the mixture for several hours, preferably overnight.

While the bread is soaking, make the streusel topping. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour with the remaining one-fourth cup granulated sugar and brown sugar, then stir in the sliced almonds.

Using your fingers, mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is combined and resembles small peas (you may still have larger pieces of almonds; this is fine). Cover and refrigerate the mixture until needed, up to overnight.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the baking dish and streusel topping from the refrigerator to warm slightly as the oven heats.

Take the drained cherries and toss them over the bread mixture, pressing a few cherries between the bread slices. Drizzle the streusel topping over the bread and cherries.

Bake the French toast until the bread is well-puffed and the topping is golden, about 45 minutes. Check to make sure the French toast is cooked throughout.

Increase the heat to 425 degrees and continue to cook the French toast until the topping is crisp and golden-brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Then gently fry over moderate heat, keeping the pan covered so the sandwich cooks evenly. Voila.

And the method works great

with savory fillings. Take what you have in the refrigerator and improvise — maybe a little caramelized onion, cheese, bacon and leftover dandelion greens.

Served with a tart salad and a glass of wine, it makes a perfect meal to close the day.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.

4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into large (about 1 inch) pieces 4 TBS butter, divided 1 onion, halved lengthwise (with the grain) and sliced into very thin lengthwise strips 1 ⁄3 C dry white wine 3 C chopped dandelion greens, cut crosswise into large (2- to 3-inch) pieces 2 tsp wine vinegar, preferably sherry or Banyul’s, more to

taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 eggs 1 C milk 3 TBS grated Parmesan cheese 8 (½-inch thick) slices sourdough bread 4 tsp whole-grain Dijon mustard, or as desired ½ lb thinly sliced Gruyere cheese

In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon (discard or save the fat for another use) and set aside.

In a large, heavy-bottom saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they soften and start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the white wine and continue to stir, scraping any flavoring from the bottom of the pan.

When the wine is almost completely absorbed, stir in the greens and cook just until they start to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar, then taste, and season with one-fourth teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Stir in the bacon bits, then taste again and adjust the seasoning or vinegar if necessary.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, along with the Parmesan cheese. Whisk in a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper to season the eggwash. Place the eggwash in a large shallow baking dish or pie plate and set aside.

Soak the bread slices in the eggwash until just soaked on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Gently spread one-half teaspoon mustard over the one side of each of 4 slices. Onto the other 4 slices, divide the sliced Gruyere, then top with the onion and greens mixture. Sprinkle over the bacon bits, then press the remaining slices of bread (mustard on the inside) onto layered cheese-onions-bacon to form a sandwich.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

Reduce the heat to low and pan-fry the sandwiches, 2 at a time, until crisp and golden and the bread is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cover the skillet while each piece is frying to allow the toast to fully cook and the filling to heat and melt. Adjust the heat as needed to keep each stuffed toast from burning.

Serve each piece of stuffed toast immediately or hold the finished toast in a warm oven until all of the pieces are fried.

Davis Continued from F1 On a recent weeknight, as Tina’s husband, Rod Davis, a second-grade teacher at Buckingham Elementary School, whips up dinner, daughter Allison, 8, is reading comfortably on the sofa. She’s in the running for a book-reading competition where she can win a bicycle. It’s the same contest that won her older brother, Cameron, 12, a new bicycle when he was in second grade.

“It’s great that Mom has a bookstore, because I can read all the new books when they come in,” explains Cameron, an avid reader in his own right. “I love history books, fiction, and I read all the ‘Harry Potter’ books four times.”

It’s no surprise that books are a big part of the scenery in the Davis household. But as you might expect, many are special antiquarian books.

“I started collecting antique books about 15 years ago, and the first one I ever picked up was at a church yard sale. It was a first edition, first printing of Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and I paid $5 for it,” recalls Davis, who holds the precious book with care.

She shows us another book that’s 135 years old, and says she doesn’t just love the books, she loves the inscriptions sometimes found in them.

“It’s almost like going into someone’s diary when you read these inscriptions,” says Davis.

Beyond loving a turn of phrase or beautiful prose, book addicts like Davis love and appreciate the antique paper, the fonts, the feel and weight of the binding, the art and design of the book covers and everything else that can make a book a piece of art.

Creative stacks of books are combined with antique typewriters in the Davis home, and for a bit of whimsy, Davis adds ceramic frogs, which can be

Books, community At Camalli Book Co., Davis has worked diligently to build community around the store.

Some may not know her name, but they’re bound to recognize the blond, soft-spoken woman at any local literary event, such as The Nature of Words literary festival, where she will be busy selling books by featured authors.

For Davis, Camalli is about more than just selling books.

She hosts authors’ readings and book clubs in the store, and tries to make customers feel like they’ve found sanctuary among the stacks of books. In the stacks, customers will find “staff picks” with brief descriptions of many of the books on sale. In keeping with one of her favorite Portland bookstores, Powell’s City of Books, Davis will also buy and sell gently used books so a customer has a choice.

A former television news anchor in Eugene and a former copywriter, Davis left behind a lucrative career to pursue a dream of creating a literary

“It’s a challenge every day, and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I love it,” she said.

“A book shop is an amalgamation of ideas and experiences.

I’ve looked at setting up a website and selling online, but I love the interaction with my customers; we can discuss books, and I like talking to people.”

As Davis heads into her next year of business, she hopes readers will remember to shop local and support independent booksellers, who are facing an uphill battle competing with big-box book stores, online booksellers and electronic readers, which weren’t even around when she opened Camalli.

“One thing that gives me hope is our children’s section has remained strong. Parents still want their children to read books,” says Davis, who jokingly adds, “I will judge a parent who reads to their child on an iPad.” We visited with Davis recently to discuss her home, recreation, books and family.

How long have you lived in Central Oregon? We moved to Bend in 2001, but only recently moved into this house. We’ve been here since September.

There are still boxes to unpack, but I think we’re finally settled in.

What I love about my home is … It always feels warm and inviting to me. Splashes of color in spots — especially red, I love red — and filled with older items that have a history. The home is newer but some of the contents are older, and I like that mix.

My favorite room is … The downstairs is pretty much one big room — kitchen, family room, dining area — and that’s my favorite because there’s room for us all to be together, even if we’re working on various things. Rod may be cooking in the kitchen, Cameron may

be on the couch with a book, and I may be helping Allison with homework at the table, but we’re all still together.

My favorite possession is …

No surprise — my books, especially the older ones. We really thinned things out when we moved, but when it came to thinning books I just couldn’t do it. I don’t have the shelf space for them all, so many of them end up stacked together on side tables and ledges. I adore antiquarian books, and those are prized in my collection.

Some are old books not worth any real value monetarily, but are so gorgeous to look at and amazing to hold. Outside of my books, my favorite possession is an antique sideboard in our dining area. At one point, it was probably in a bar of some sort, as you can see charred marks along the ledges where people had rested their cigarettes.

If I had a Monday off to do anything I wanted to do at home, alone, I’d … Drink coffee all morning and tea all afternoon and read, read, read. I think people have this romanticized notion that bookstore owners sit around reading all day when the reality couldn’t be more different. I almost never read at the store; there’s just too much for me to do there. And at home there’s a husband and kids and chores and whatnot, so I really never find nearly as much time to read as I’d like to. But to have a whole guilt-free day? Read, read, read. And meet a friend for a beer and lunch as a great break in between chapters.

Three things you’ll always find in our refrigerator are … Milk, cheese, wine, sandwich makings, tortillas, yogurt, orange juice, lemons, hot sauce. Did I mention the cheese? Because we can’t live without cheese.

Are you handy around the house? I can be. Our first house was a small older home built in

the 1940s, and it took a lot of upkeep and repair. I have and know how to use a miter saw, a Skil saw, nail guns, sander, etc.

But this home and our last home required very little work, so I’m quite sure my skills are rusty.

But I’m usually the one to tackle the small home improvements and repairs. It’s something I got from both my mom and dad.

My favorite piece of artwork in the house is … It’s redundant, but my old books. I guess that’s why I like to keep them on display. Especially as you get into the older books, they’re all so beautifully and uniquely bound.

I have a crummy old translation of “Don Quixote,” but it was printed in the early 1900s, and the red and black Victorian cover and spine are gorgeous.

I’ve tried to read that translation of “Don Quixote,” and it’s not to be done. But the book itself — the physical object — is a work of art to me. Only this work of art, you can touch and leaf through. Some of my older books have lovely inscriptions in them — lovely in sentiment and actual script. One of my favorite inscriptions is very simple and is found in a “Handbook of Legendary and Mythological Art,” published in 1874. It reads: “Minnie F. Baliter, From Aunt Augusta, December 25, 1874.” It’s a hefty little book; no light reading. I love that it was a gift from one woman to another, more than 135 years ago.

And the book is still sturdy and strong, much like I imagine the women were whose names are in the book.

Do you like to cook? Not in the least. Luckily, my husband loves to cook, and he does an amazing job. He can work something up quickly out of nothing, or he can spend a couple of hours creating something extravagant.

Me not cooking has come to be expected by family and friends, so I don’t want to do anything at this point that would disappoint them in those expectations.

Every now and then, Rod will take the kids out of town without me, usually during the summer when I can’t take that amount of time away from the bookstore. When he’s gone and I have no one to cook for me, I’ll live on burritos for as long as I need to. I can also make a pretty mean grilled cheese. They may head out of town for a baseball tournament for Cameron over spring break and I’ll be here, microwaving burritos and frying up the occasional grilled cheese.

Do you eat out often? If so, where do you like to go? We don’t eat out very often, only because we just can’t afford to.

But we love Hardy’s for lunch ... the food is good and the service by the kids working at the counter is just about the nicest in town.

What’s your idea of the perfect get-together at home? A few close friends, drinks and lots of cheese. I like the intimacy of being with people I know fairly well; conversation flows and there are fewer barriers to what someone’s willing to discuss. I also love getting together with just our family and my mom.

We’re really lucky to have her in town. She’s fun and loving, and just by being around she always reminds me of who I want to be as a mom.

What do you usually have for breakfast? I don’t usually eat

— Tina Walker Davis

breakfast during the week; it’s a dash and go with a cup of coffee and maybe a bagel on the go.

But on the weekends, Rod will often make pancakes or an egg dish. And if there’s bacon, I’ll eat more than my share.

If you could have a second home anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? It would be in Oregon on a lake or river. I really don’t like sand, so I’m not much of a beach person. And I wouldn’t want to have to travel far to get to a second home or retreat. So I’d love something along the McKenzie or Santiam. A dream would be one of the homes on Elk Lake, which is my favorite place to be in the summer.

What do you do when you have time to relax and recreate in Central Oregon? Sometimes I feel like we’re one of the few non-skiing families in Bend.

But none of us really enjoys downhill skiing, and it’s costprohibitive at this point, anyway. We all have snowshoes, so much to the kids’ dismay we do try to get them out for snowshoeing. I’d like to get back out for cross-country skiing. Sledding when the snow is good. In the summer, we love to camp all over and spend free days up at Elk Lake. And when we aren’t camping in the summer, we are often “deck sleeping,” which means pulling cots out onto the deck and sleeping outside.

Favorite three books/novels you’ve read and why? This is an impossible question! I change this list daily, I think, and limiting it to three makes me feel bad for all of my other favorite books. Depends on mood and whom I am talking to. I have worn out a copy of Jon KabatZinn’s “Wherever You Go There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life,” so that’s up there. I can pick up that book and read any random chapter and feel grounded and present again. I’ve read Marion Zimmer Bradley’s “The Mists of Avalon” three times — not the most high-brow literature but I am swept into that Arthurian saga every time (and I have to admit that my first edition, first printing copy of that book is a prized possession). And a new favorite would have to be “The Saga of Gosta Berling” by Selma Lagerlof. That book was originally published in 1891, but I recently read it for the store’s book club and was blown away. It has a dark fairy tale quality to it, and is filled with so many stories; I could read it 10 times and still find something new.

All that said, it seems horrible to not mention things like “Geek Love” by Katherine Dunn, Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” Margaret Atwood’s “Handmaid’s Tale,” Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods” and my childhood (now out of print) favorite, “The Ice Cream Cone Coot and Other Rare Birds” by Arnold Lobel. This really is a tortuous question for a book lover!

COVER STORY

Plants that enjoy the long winter nap

Greenhouse Continued from F1 “Just about the time you’re ready to get going in the spring, it will be time to get out the gardening equipment.”

Place your compost bin in the greenhouse, he added, and the warmer temperatures will allow the composting process to continue more quickly.

But suppose you want to use your greenhouse space as an alternative to staying inside. If you’re building a greenhouse, this might be a consideration, English said, even if you don’t plan on overwintering plants.

One of the newest covering options, UV-treated polycarbonate, provides much of the clarity of glass and is stronger and more resistant to impact than other coverings.

Polycarbonate is available in several different thicknesses and normally comes in single-, double- and triplewalled sheets, with many structural walls separating its two flat sides.

Single-wall polycarbonate is the least expensive and is generally used for its attractive appearance, but it lacks the strength, heat retention and light diffusing properties of double- and triple-wall polycarbonate.

“Check out the double-walled panels, because the air space between the panes provides a lot of insulation,” English said. “This will make a much warmer greenhouse in the winter.”

Once the greenhouse is built, another option could be installing a propane or electric heater with a thermostat, English said, because it won’t take much to heat the greenhouse.

The thermostat will turn on the heat at night if it gets too cold, he said, and all that is needed is to keep things from freezing.

Greenhouses and sunrooms — particularly when heated or attached to a home — can provide an excellent gardening opportunity even in winter. warm,” English said. “You won’t need a heater if there is sunshine.”

There are ways to save some of the daytime heat generated by the sun, English said, and maintain a higher temperature, so the greenhouse will stay warmer throughout the night.

“The dirt on the floor will absorb and hold heat,” English said.

“If the floor is made of interlocking stone pavers, that will also absorb heat and help maintain a constant temperature.”

An easy, traditional technique to help keep a greenhouse warm, English said, is to place large rocks strategically within the structure to heat up during the sunny periods. Another proven heat gatherer, he added, is a collection of gallon milk jugs filled with water, and placed in the sunny areas.

Even without heat, English said, these techniques will allow a gardener to overwinter hardy plants, such as geraniums, and have flowering plants.

This passive heat collection provides the opportunity for using a greenhouse as a sunroom, or as a place to sit among the greenery. This might help those winter gardening blues.

“You can sit in your greenhouse, surrounded by flowering plants and read a book,” English said. “It can be very pleasant.”

In the dead of winter, tulip factory goes full tilt After the dry bulbs have initiated a little root growth, they are taken out of cold storage and “potted up” for growth, except there is no pot and no soil. As the bulbs roll down a conveyor belt, workers rogue out any rotten ones and then place the healthy ones, 100 at a time, on a horizontal board. A peg spears the base of each bulb, allowing the board to sit in a black plastic tray where the bulbs grow. Lined up on the greenhouse floor, the trays are filled with water and a little liquid fertilizer, and the bulbs shoot up in the 65degree temperatures, lowered to the 50s at night. Robotic watering arms move across the acres of trays several times a day to keep the growing bulbs happy.

The stems are harvested just as the buds begin to show color. After a night in cold storage, they go to a bouquet production room where the tulips are bundled, tied, de-bulbed and wrapped.

This process may seem convoluted: Imagine the logistics of having bulbs in various stages of forcing for 40 weeks of the year. The scheduling is further complicated by the fact the bulbs take 30 days to bloom in December but just 15 days by April.

Bulbs from Chile kick off production in September, followed by ones from France and the Dutch province of Zeeland.

“The Dutch have absolutely figured out the science of timing,” said Sally Ferguson of the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Center.

What does this local mass production mean for humble consumers who just want a touch of spring in their kitchen or apartment window? Haakman says that at least three links have been removed in the production chain, the carbon footprint is lowered all around and the flowers reach the marketplace about five days earlier than before.

With spring still weeks away, that sounds pretty good to me.

By Adrian Higgins The Washington Post

STEVENSBURG, Va. — I bought a bunch of 10 tulips for $6.99 the other day and stuck them on my desk. One day, the buds were tight and pale, the next about the size of a plum and similar in color. They weren’t the slinky, pastel French tulips that high-end florists coo over, but they lifted my spirits, lasted for days and brought a glimpse of spring.

I picked them up at a grocery store a couple of blocks from the office. Nothing strange about that, but here’s the weird thing: I may well have seen the same bunch being grown and gathered a few days earlier in an enormous greenhouse just outside Culpeper, Va. I say “may” because one bunch was hard to see amid something like 1 million tulips in hydroponic cultivation at the glazed quarters of a company called Fresh Tulips USA, in Stevensburg.

Here, hiding in plain sight, is one of the largest tulip factories in the world, and, yes, I did feel a bit like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory as a Dutchman named Coen Haakman put on the hat of Willy Wonka. Figuratively.

It probably helps to be Dutch to undertake an enterprise that involves the mass production of the tulip. It’s in the blood: Greenhouse growers in the Netherlands raise 1.5 billion cut tulips a year, even if fewer of those blooms today are making it to the American marketplace.

With the rise of high-volume supermarket floral departments, Haakman and his business partners figured that by bringing Dutch methods and techniques to the mid-Atlantic, they could meet consumer demand for cheap and cheerful tulips while cutting out middlemen and the delays of shipping flowers from abroad.

He came to Virginia in 2004 with a plan to grow 5 million tulips a year.

Seven years later, he and his Dutch grower, Hans Meester, and a work

Susan Biddle / The Washington Post

It’s winter in Culpeper County, Va., but spring reigns in the 8-acre greenhouse of Fresh Tulips USA. The company, overseen by a Dutch transplant, produces 45 million tulips like those above each year for markets in the Eastern U.S. force of around 100 churn out 45 million in five adjoining greenhouse bays covering eight acres.

In the dead of winter, it’s not a bad place to be, especially with the curious overhead lines of hanging Boston ferns. Big and fluffy, they number 32,000 and function to shade and cool the greenhouse while generating additional income through sales. Early February is high season; the glass houses are empty only in high summer when it’s too hot for plants, especially tulips.

The company ships about a million tulips a week to stores such as Whole Foods Market and Wegmans in markets as far west as Dallas, north to Boston and south to Miami. This time of year the production more than doubles for an annual peak of tulips in three colors: red, white and pink. These are cupid’s hues around St. Valentine’s Day, and Haakman is counting on legions of swains choosing tulips over

the pricier and more predictable bouquet of red roses. For plant geeks like myself, I should add that these varieties are all Triumph tulips, by name Ile de France, Jumbo Pink and White Marvel.

With tulips, as in affairs of the heart and politics, timing is everything. The task is made somewhat easier for the 43-year-old general manager by the fact that the bulbs themselves are farmed by sister companies back in the Netherlands, as well as in France and Chile.

In Europe, new bulbs are harvested in July, but then the art of climate-controlled storage takes over. First the bulbs are kept warm enough for next year’s embryonic tulip to form. But to trick the flowers into greenhouse bloom — gardeners call it forcing — the bulbs must be chilled and remain so for 16 to 18 weeks, including the two-week voyage to the United States.

Q: A:

What’s important about a garden in winter?

You want a moment in the garden to be quiet. There’s so much to do in the summer, with cutting and keeping up with plants, and just enjoying and looking at the garden. Sometimes it’s too much. In the winter, you need less to get satisfaction from the garden. If you have only a few plants in the garden in winter, it’s enough to keep it interesting.

Q: A:

Where does one begin?

It’s a learning process. I think you should go to botanical gardens or arboretums, not garden centers. It’s important to see the plants in the context of a place. That’s where you’ll learn the most. Now is a good time to look at flowering shrubs and trees to see their true form.

Q: A:

Evergreens seem like an obvious choice for winter. How much do you depend on them?

Evergreens add depth to the garden, or the scenery of the garden, but you don’t need too many. In winter, you don’t expect a garden to be green. It’s about scale and balance. Evergreens have a place, but other things play a role, like texture and structure.

The character of shrubs and trees shows most before and after summer and in the winter, when you really see the branches. That is sometimes more interesting to me than seeing an evergreen.

Q: A:

How important are grasses in winter garden design?

Grasses are mostly dominant in public gardens because they are so easy to use, and they appeal more in a larger landscape than a smaller garden. In a public garden, it’s all about how long the garden will last. Grasses have very long lives and are stress-tolerant. They don’t need as much water or care as perennials do.

Q: A:

Once you’ve chosen your plants, how do you decide to arrange them?

You work from big to small. Like in a landscape, you first think about the trees that you want to put in, then the shrubs and then the perennial and grass layers.

Q: A:

What do you do if you live in an area with a lot of snow?

There are moments in the winter where you need to see more than just perennials.

A backdrop of hedges or shrubbery, or a beautiful tree — architectural elements in the garden — will hold your interest in snow. When the snow comes down dry, it doesn’t flatten your plants; perennials that are more than 2 or 3 feet tall will stick out of the snow and still look good. But sometimes the plants will break. This is the moment to remember that spring is coming.

Q: A:

Any final advice for the beginner?

Experience starts the moment you begin to like gardening. You can’t do it right the first time. You can’t even do it right in a few years. You always see the next step you have to do. Start simply, putting good combinations of plants together, and work from there. You have to go through all the steps. You cannot skip any lessons. That is honest. It’s hard work. But you get something back, that’s the good thing. It’s like raising children. You try to do your best.

Gardens in winter are typically deemed dormant, but Piet Oudolf believes that they shouldn’t be. Oudolf, who is Dutch, is the leading exemplar of the New Perennials landscape movement, which holds that plants should be chosen for shape and texture more than for color.

One of Oudolf’s ideas is that a garden should be designed to have a life throughout the year, not just in the spring and summer.

“The garden in winter is an emotional experience,” he said. “You think in terms of decay, and disappearing and coming back. You feel the life cycle of nature.”

Oudolf recently talked about the planning, planting and thinking behind a four-season garden.

Carrot bread, plenty hearty, with more than a hint of spice

By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

Mary Fitzsimmons, of Crossville, Tenn., was looking for a recipe she had lost for carrot cake in a loaf pan. She said that the recipe she had made two loaves and that it had a somewhat “spicier” taste than most carrot cake.

Darlene Ross, of Towson, Md., sent in a recipe she likes for making carrot-pecan bread. She thought that her recipe sounded similar to what Fitzsimmons was searching for. Her recipe produced a very hearty, dense bread that would be wonderful served with some cream cheese for breakfast or tea. It keeps well and, with the recipe yielding two loaves, you will likely have one you can freeze for later or give away.

wrote looking for help finding two recipes she thinks might have come from Better Homes and Gardens magazine some time ago. The first is for a salad that has ground raw cranberries and a ground-up orange (peel and all) in a red gelatin base. The other is a recipe for what she thinks was called caramel-frosted picnic cake. It was a dense single-layer cake made in one bowl with a delicious caramel icing.

Home safe home: simple steps to protect your pets the list of pet poisons. Not only do animals snatch pills from counters and nightstands, but they’re also quick to lap up medications dropped on the floor. According to the ASPCA, the most dangerous ones are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen), antidepressants, acetaminophen, methylphenidate, fluorouracil, isoniazid, pseudoephedrine (a decongestant), antidiabetics, vitamin D derivatives and baclofen.

Always keep medications in places that cats and dogs can’t access.

MARTHA STEWART Dogs and cats are curious creatures. While that quality often makes us laugh, it can sometimes have disastrous consequences. Certain household items are dangerous — or even fatal — to animals. Accidents can occur no matter how careful you are. And they always seem to happen at midnight, when help is hard to find. Be prepared with contact information for your veterinarian, the nearest animal emergency room, and, in the U.S., the 24-hour ASPCA Poison Control Center (888-4264435). Here are several common hazards, as well as smart strategies for pet-proofing your home.

Antifreeze Pets love the sweet taste of antifreeze (ethylene glycol), which they may encounter if it leaks in the garage or driveway. Yet just a teaspoon is all it takes to kill a 10-pound cat; one to two tablespoons are lethal to a 10-pound dog. If your pet ingests any, it may seem wobbly and unsteady, as well as nauseated and unusually thirsty. Get it to the vet immediately — an antidote must be given within 12 hours, but sooner is better. Of course, never let your pet near antifreeze, and if you spill some, clean it up right away and discard all paper towels and rags. You can use a less toxic form of antifreeze, propylene glycol. But even this is poisonous in large quantities.

Food People food, that is. Don’t cave in to those adorable eyes when your pet is begging. “Some foods cause problems ranging from gastrointestinal issues to death,” says Diane Levitan, a veterinarian in Commack, N.Y. Chocolate, for example, contains a substance

Toys

Pets such as Martha Stewart’s dogs Sharkey and Francesca can fall victim to a variety of household hazards, including toxic chemicals in common products and choking on toys. called theobromine, along with caffeine, which makes it toxic to dogs and cats. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity and seizures. Pets also shouldn’t eat macadamia nuts, raw or undercooked meat, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chives or rising bread dough.

and esophageal lining, Levitan says. Flush the toilet multiple times after cleaning, and close the lid. Exposure to bleach and other harsh products can cause gastrointestinal distress, skin irritation and respiratory problems. Switch to nontoxic cleaners.

Houseplants

Pets that dig into the trash may find objects, such as bones, corncobs and broken glass, that can obstruct and tear the intestines.

Moldy foods contain toxins that can cause muscle tremors and convulsions. Buy trash cans with tight lids, or keep them behind closed doors.

Cats in particular like nibbling on plants, but some are toxic.

Ingesting even small amounts of Easter lilies, for instance, can cause kidney failure in cats.

Other dangerous plants include mistletoe, oleander, English ivy, and tulip and narcissus bulbs.

You can apply a deterrent to the plants, such as a bitter apple spray, but it’s safer to remove them from the house.

But “pet toys can also be hazardous,” says Adam Goldfarb, director of the Pets at Risk program for the Humane Society of the United States. Be aware of how your pet plays — for instance, some dogs baby their stuffed animals, while others tear them apart and eat them. When you give your dog a new toy, supervise the first play sessions.

If plush objects are problematic, give the dog tougher toys.

Xylitol Found in candies, gum, baked goods and toothpaste, this sweetener can cause an insulin surge, lowering blood sugar enough to cause weakness, vomiting and loss of coordination. It could even lead to liver failure. Any exposure can cause problems, but the more your pet consumes, the more severe the issues will be.

Questions should be addressed to Ask Martha, c/o Letters Department, Martha Stewart Living, 601 W. 26th St., 9th floor, New York, NY 10001. Questions may also be sent by e-mail to: mslletters@marthastewart.com.

Please include your name, address and daytime telephone number.

Questions of general interest will be answered in this column; Martha Stewart regrets that unpublished letters cannot be answered individually.

Superior Carpet and Tile & Stone Cleaning

Our Hot Carbonating Truck Mount Extraction cleans deep! We use one-fifth the amount of water compared to steam cleaners so carpet dries in 1 to 2 hours.

Our cleaner, The Natural®, is green certified, non-toxic, so it’s safe for your family and pets who are allergy sensitive! Leaves no sticky residue!

Using Chem-Dry resists re-soiling so your carpet fibers stay cleaner, longer!

Don’t forget your area rugs & upholstery too!
