Bend woman avoids Craigslist rental scam

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

A Bend woman seeking a better home for herself and her husband almost fell for what seems to be a Nigerian e-mail scam on Craigslist. Artha Proctor, 69, had been manager of a real estate brokerage in California 25 years ago. That experience came in handy last week.

Proctor liked the look of an ad-

vertisement for a Bend house on Craigslist, and she replied.

She exchanged several e-mails with the house’s purported landlord, Christina Lawrence, who provided a Nigerian phone number. It is unclear whether Christina Lawrence is a man or woman.

E-mails from Christina Lawrence, which are in poor English, make reference to Lawrence’s wife.

Artha Proctor was nearly a victim of a Craigslist scam when looking for a Bend rental home last week.

Police seized multiple computers, cell phones, GPS devices and other items during a search of a home owned by the “person of interest” in a fatal

hit-and-run in Bend, according to documents filed in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

Bret Lee Biedscheid, 37, was identified Friday by Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty as the focus of

TOBRUK, Libya — On Libya’s northeastern border, there are no visa procedures and no passport-control officers. There’s just a gaggle of armed young men — defected soldiers and police officers — waving people through.

But it is also clear that deep divisions remain.

Jason and Chrystal Reece have built and maintained this snowman in front of their Bend home, photographed Tuesday morning. While most snowmen succumb to melting (see below), the Reeces’ sculpture has stayed pleasantly plump. The couple have added pine needles for hair and pine branches with pine cones for arms and hands, as well as a scarf and belt.

“When we started making it ... I would pour water on it. I think that has made it last longer — its ice,” Chrystal Reece said of what she dubbed the Abominable Snowman of Central Oregon. Jason Reece said, “We have to maintain it. Sometimes the arm will fall off and we have to go out and put it back on.”

For their next project, the Reeces plan to build a snowdog.

While some snowmen thrive, others in Bend aren’t so lucky

These snowmen, photographed Tuesday around Bend, were in various stages of melting. Good news for snow sculptors: Widespread snow showers are forecast through the week in Bend.

The Bend-La Pine Schools board on Tuesday prioritized its budget for the 2011-12 school year as it faces a $16 million shortfall.

Atop the list: preventing further cuts to school days, avoiding higher class sizes and hanging onto all-day kindergarten programs.

But with current funding figures, that may not be possible.

To continue its current programs and fulfill its contractual obligations to employees, the district would operate on a $128 million budget next year. But with Gov. John Kitzhaber’s proposed budget, it would only have about $112 million. So on Tuesday, the board and district officials tried to find solutions.

“We want no further reduction in school days,” Deputy Superintendent John Rexford said.

“We’re already operating on a slightly reduced school year and we would try to add some back if we could. We want no further increases to class sizes, and we want to find a way to replace lost (federal) dollars to keep full-day kindergarten because we’ve seen great success in it.”

Nearly $6 million of the shortfall comes in the form of increased Oregon Public Employees Retirement System costs.

The district faces rate increases of about 8 percent, because of the PERS fund’s losses in 2007-08.

“We’re legally obligated to fund it,” Rexford said.

Rexford and other district administrators are hoping for help from legislators on the PERS issue. They’re hoping for legislation that could extend the amortization, or debt repayments, over 30 years instead of 20 years.

Following Wisconsin’s lead, Ohio and Indiana face union fights

By Sabrina Tavernise and A.G. Sulzberger New York Times News Service

COLUMBUS, Ohio — First Wisconsin. Now Ohio and Indiana.

Battles with public employees’ unions spread Tuesday, with Republican-dominatedLegislatures pressing bills that would weaken

collective bargaining and thousands of pro-union protesters marching on Capitol buildings in Columbus and Indianapolis.

After a week of upheaval in Madison, Wis., where the thumping din of protesters has turned almost celebratory, the battle moved to Ohio, where the Legislature held hearings on a bill

that would effectively end collective bargaining for state workers and drastically reduce it for local government employees, like police officers and firefighters.

Several thousand pro-union protesters filled a main hall of the statehouse in Columbus and gathered in a large crowd outside, chanting “Kill the bill,”

waving signs and playing drums and bagpipes. There were no official estimates, but numbers appeared to be smaller than those in Madison last week.

In Indiana, nearly all of the Democratic members of the state’s House of Representatives stayed away from a legislative session Tuesday in an effort

to stymie a bill they say would weaken collective bargaining.

By late Tuesday, they seemed to have succeeded in running down a clock on the bill, which was to expire at midnight. Rep. Brian Bosma, the speaker of the Indiana House, said the bill would die when the deadline passed.

Punch line or lifeline? Salmon compete with energy, job goals

Vines are crowding out trees in tropics

By William Yardley New York Times News Service

By Amina Khan

STARBUCK, Wash. — The governor of Montana invited himself to Washington state not long ago to explain to people who live along the Columbia River why they should help Montana export its coal across the Pacific Ocean to China.

Last month, the governor of Idaho turned up near the Columbia’s principal tributary, the Snake River, to tell Idahoans that it was good policy to barge enormous oil-production equipment up both rivers and then truck it farther inland in triple-wide loads across a scenic highway.

And then there was President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union speech, extracting a punch line from another Northwest resource famous for making its way, however uncertainly, up and down both rivers.

“The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they’re in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them when they’re in saltwater,” Obama said.

“And I hear it gets even more complicated once they’re smoked.”

The line went over well, for the most part, a populist poke at bureaucratic excess. Yet by making salmon his symbol, Obama touched tender nerves here in a region where the embattled fish, many of which are endangered species, are inextricably linked to the majestic and controversially managed rivers they struggle to navigate. After all, the fish and the rivers have long been at the forefront of another challenge the president addressed in his speech: how to create energy and jobs while protecting the environment and reducing carbon emissions.

“It came out as a joke, but he doesn’t know what we’re going through,” said Darcy Linklater, the mayor of this faded railroad town just a few miles from the Snake. “It’s just such a mess.”

Los Angeles Times

Sharing the rivers It seems everyone wants a piece of the river system that the salmon travel, and agreeing on ways to share it is harder than coming up with one-liners.

On Feb. 1, huge trucks began hauling oil-production equipment to Montana from Lewiston, Idaho’s only seaport, located 465 miles east of the ocean and made possible by a series of navigation locks connected to massive concrete dams that control the Columbia and Snake. Soon the trucks are expected to ship much more equipment farther north, to the oil sands of Canada, against opposition from groups who say the route, once traveled by Lewis and Clark, should not be used to advance the future of fossil fuels.

Even as advocates for salmon want some dams removed to ease fish migration, major renovations are under way this winter at three dams to ensure that the barge traffic they enable can continue for decades to come.

“Activity fosters activity,” said Dave Doeringsfeld, manager of

Advocates for salmon want some dams removed to ease fish migration, but major renovations are under way at three dams to ensure barge traffic can continue for decades to come. much of the Columbia and the Snake in eastern Washington.

These kinds of negotiations are nothing new.

Tribes live with change

Crew members for the Public Utility District of Grant County, Wash., seek soil samples to research pilings for a boat launch, Feb. 8. the Port of Lewiston. “The opportunity to meet future United States energy needs will benefit from the Columbia-Snake river system.”

Clean vs. dirty energy At the other end of the river basin, in Longview, Wash., commissioners of Cowlitz County recently approved a permit to build an export facility on the Columbia that would allow Montana to haul coal to the river by rail, below the dams, then transfer it to barges so it could be shipped to Asia. Major environmental groups have filed a lawsuit that has delayed the project. Among their arguments is that exporting coal would undercut goals outlined by Northwest political leaders for reducing emissions and producing clean energy.

Documents recently released in the case suggest that the company that would build the facility had hoped to eventually make it far larger than what it had proposed to the state. A crucial factor shaping the company’s plans is the limited construction period each year, known as the “fish window,” because it is arranged around when salmon are least affected.

To the frustration of advocates for salmon and the rivers, many in the Northwest have long boasted that the region gets much of its power from a renewable resource: hydropower from the dams on the Columbia and Snake. The advocates say there is nothing clean about dams that kill fish and clog rivers.

“We’ve got so-called clean energy fostering dirty-energy sources,” said Amy Kober, a spokeswoman for American Rivers. “How does that impact our overall climate goals?”

Others worry about local economics. Linklater, the mayor of Starbuck, makes his living from the river system — and from more than one side of the debates surrounding it. He runs a tackle shop that depends on a strong salmon run, but he also rents space in an RV park to workers repairing the dams that impede the fish.

Some of his tenants represent still other interests in the salmonriver-energy nexus. They help install wind turbines rising quickly along the rivers and whose power is intended to complement energy produced by the dams. Or they scour future wind farm sites to avoid disturbing American Indian burial sites deep in the remote and treeless hills that surround

Federal officials address a sand wedge issue

By Julie Cart Los Angeles Times

IMPERIAL SAND DUNES RECREATION AREA, Calif. — Freed from the confines of Washington, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Sunday kicked up his heels in California’s Mojave Desert, where he raced across undulating dunes in a souped-up sand rail.

And, perhaps as a reminder of the gridlock he left behind on Capitol Hill, Salazar’s vehicle became mired in the sand as he attempted to surmount a steep dune.

The daredevil antics were driven by a serious intent: to reach out to a constituency often antagonistic to federal officials and their management of public lands in the West. To that end, Salazar and Bob Abbey, director of the Bureau of Land Management, toured the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area on a busy holiday weekend.

The pair came to mend political fences by stressing that mo-

torized recreation fits into the Obama administration’s vision of “America’s Great Outdoors,” a conservation and health initiative rolled out last week that is heavy on land preservation.

“When we talk about the great outdoors, this is the kind of recreation we are talking about,” Salazar told a group of off-road enthusiasts, raising his voice to be heard above the deep rumbles and high-pitched whines coming from fleets of “sand toys” racing past near the town of Glamis.

That message of inclusion is seldom heard here, a 160,000-acre BLM-managed recreation area for jeepers, dirt bike riders and dune buggy drivers. Also known as Algodones Dunes, the area for years has been the focal point of legal wrangling between off-roaders seeking more acreage to explore and environmentalists demanding protection of the dunes’ sensitive plant and animal species.

The Imperial Sand Dunes also carry the lingering reputation

as one of the most dangerous off-road recreation areas in the United States. A Thanksgiving weekend gathering draws more than 200,000 people and has led to homicides, traffic fatalities and mass arrests.

The 200 square miles of sculpted bowls and sandy flats draw 1.3 million visitors a year, a significant economic engine in Imperial County. That brought local officials out on a cold and blustery day to buttonhole Salazar and Abbey for more funds to better manage the vast area.

“I compare this to Yellowstone” National Park, said Jack Terrazas, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors. “We have 25 percent of their visitation but only 3 percent of their budget.”

Salazar urged the officials to speak to their congressional delegation, explaining that the BLM’s budget and other conservation and recreation funding sources were under assault from Republican cost-cutters in Congress.

“Make a realistic bargain that preserves what can be saved of the Columbia and its salmon and its spirit,” Blaine Harden wrote in his book, “A River Lost.”

“Make an agreement and abide by it honestly.”

The passage, published in 1996, was a paraphrase of the pragmatic philosophy practiced by the leaders of the Wanapum tribe, centered on the banks of the Columbia near Vantage, Wash. A century earlier, the tribe had been known for spreading a controversial religion built on the idea that white settlers would one day vanish and the river and the region would return to its previous existence.

Over time, the Wanapums learned to live with change. Now, the core of the tribe, three extended families, lives in the shadow of a huge hydroelectric dam through an agreement brokered with a local electrical utility.

Rex Buck Jr., a Wanapum leader, said in an interview that his people had made concessions to stay on a changing river. One is that while only wild salmon are acceptable for ceremonial purposes, salmon from hatcheries can be eaten for regular meals.

Buck said he had not heard the president’s speech or his salmon joke. But he said he had no expectation that salmon, or the river system, could be addressed quickly through government streamlining. Like many other interests on the Columbia and the Snake, the Wanapums, he said, plan to maintain their claim to them.

“All we’re asking is that we live like neighbors,” Buck said. “My grandfather said maybe that’s the way the great maker wants it to be.”

LOS ANGELES — Vines may be proliferating at the expense of trees in tropical forests across the Americas, scientists have found. This shift in abundance could affect the water in the ecosystem and how carbon is stored in the plants, potentially drying out forests and resulting in more carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere.

The report, published online last week in the journal Ecology Letters, surveyed eight studies on the state of woody vines in tropical forests from the Savannah River system and the Congaree National Park in South Carolina to an area in the central Amazon about 50 miles north of Manaus, Brazil.

They found that in all forests, vines were increasing in abundance, biomass or both.

“Global change is happening everywhere — and this is one of the first signs for tropical forests,” said Stefan Schnitzer, an ecologist with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, who conducted the review with Frans Bongers of Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

Woody vines evolved to escape the dimly lit confines under the trees in tropical forests by climbing up tree trunks and branches, then spreading their network of leaves over the dense treetops that make up the forest canopy. They block sunlight from the tree leaves they cover and compete with the trees for water and nutrients.

Generally, Schnitzer said, about a quarter of the plants in a tropical forest will be vines.

Several studies in the last decade suggested that vines are growing faster and becoming more abundant. Before this study, Schnitzer added, no one had compiled the data to carefully look at the issue.

The scientists noted, for example, that a 2010 study on Panama’s Barro Colorado Island found that vines infested 75 percent of the crowns of trees in 2007, more than double the 32 percent rate in the late 1960s. A 2008 study of a forest in French Guiana found that from 1992 to 2002 vine abundance rose 1.8 percent while tree abundance dropped by 4.6 percent.

Several factors may be working in the vines’ favor, Schnitzer said. During the dry season, trees slow their rate of photosynthesis, using sunlight to create energy out of water and carbon dioxide.

Vines don’t, and can therefore keep growing.

Emanuel elected Bloody crackdown continues mayor of Chicago as Libyan uprising swells PROTESTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

By John Chase and Rick Pearson Chicago Tribune

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

TOBRUK, Libya — Vowing to track down and kill protesters “house by house,” Moammar Gadhafi of Libya tightened his grip on the capital, Tripoli, on Tuesday, but the eastern half of the country was slipping beyond his control.

A bloody crackdown drove protesters from the streets of Tripoli, where residents described a state of terror. After a televised speech by Gadhafi, thousands of his supporters converged in the city’s central Green Square, wearing green bandannas and brandishing large machetes.

Many loaded into trucks headed for the outlying areas of the city, where they occupied traffic intersections and appeared to be massing for neighborhood-toneighborhood searches.

“It looks like they have been given a green light to kill these people,” one witness said.

Human Rights Watch said it had confirmed 62 deaths in two hospitals after a rampage Monday night, when witnesses said groups of heavily armed militiamen and mercenaries from other African countries cruised the streets in pickup trucks, spraying crowds with machine-gun fire.

The death toll was probably higher; one witness said that militia forces appeared to be using vans to cart away bodies.

But as they clamped down on the capital, Gadhafi’s security forces did not appear to make any attempt to take back the growing number of towns in the east that had in effect declared their independence and set up informal opposition governments. For now, there is little indication of what will replace the vacuum left by the Gadhafi’s authority in broad parts of the country other than simmering anarchy.

Members of the Libyan opposition who have reportedly gained control of areas in the east of the country chant victory slogans and call for the fall of Muammar Gadhafi in Tobruk on Tuesday. ter in Benghazi, were Gadhafi’s security forces and militia still clashing with protesters along the road to Gadhafi’s hometown, Surt.

Gadhafi has lashed out with a level of violence unseen in uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, partly by importing foreigners without ties to the Libyan people. His four decades of idiosyncratic one-man rule have left the country without any national institutions — not even a unified or disciplined military — that could tame his retribution or provide the framework for a transitional government.

Condemnations of his crackdown abounded, from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the U.N. Security Council to the Arab League, which suspended Libya as a member.

High-profile aides and diplomats continued to defect, among them Libya’s interior minister and

its ambassadors to the United States, India and Bangladesh.

In his second television appearance in two days, Gadhafi vowed Tuesday to die as a martyr for his country.

“I will fight on to the last drop of my blood,” he said.

Wearing a beige robe and turban and reading at times from his manifesto, the Green Book, Gadhafi called the protesters “cockroaches” and attributed the unrest shaking the country to foreigners, a small group of people distributing pills, brainwashing and young people’s naive desire to imitate the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.

He urged citizens to take to the streets and beat back the protesters, and he described himself in sweeping, megalomaniacal terms.

“Moammar Gadhafi is history, resistance, liberty, glory, revolution,” he declared.

In Tobruk, an eastern city that joined the uprising almost as soon as it began, a resident watching the speech in the main square reacted by throwing a rock at Gadhafi’s face broadcast on a large television. And in a cafe not far from Tobruk, Fawzi Labada, a bus driver, looked incredulously at the screen.

“He is weak now,” he said.

“He’s a liar, a big liar. He will hang.”

In Tripoli, however, the reaction was more chastened. One resident reported the sound of gunfire during the speech — presumably in celebration, he said, but also in warning.

“He is saying, ‘If you go to protest, all the shots will be in your chest,’” he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

“We are unarmed and his warning is very clear,” he added.

“The people are terrified now.”

In Bahrain, protesters’ calls for unity belie divisions

By Michael Slackman and Nadim Audi New York Times News Service

MANAMA, Bahrain — More than 100,000 demonstrators packed central Pearl Square here MANAMA, Bahrain — More than 100,000 demonstrators packed central Pearl Square here on Tuesday in what organizers called the largest pro-democracy demonstration this tiny Persian Gulf nation had ever seen, as the monarchy struggled to hold on to its monopoly on power.

In a nation of only 500,000 citizens, the sheer size of the gathering was astonishing. Tens of thousands of men, women and children, mostly members of the Shiite majority, formed a ribbon of protest for several miles along the Sheik Khalifa bin Salman Highway as they headed for the square, calling for the downfall of the government in a march that was intended to show national unity.

“This is the first time in the history of Bahrain that the majority of people, of Bahraini people, got together with one message: This regime must fall,” said Muhammad Abdullah, 43, who was almost shaking with emotion as he watched the swelling crowd.

But for all the talk of political harmony, the past week’s events have left Bahrain as badly divided as it has ever been. Its economy is threatened and its reputation damaged. Standard & Poor’s lowered its credit rating this week, Bahraini authorities canceled next month’s Bahrain Grand Prix Formula One race — a source of pride for the royal family — many businesses remain closed, and tourism is down.

On one side of the divide is a Sunni minority that largely supports King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa as the protector of its interests. On the other is a Shiite majority that knows the changes it seeks will inevitably bring power to its side. The king began releasing some political prisoners on Tuesday night, and the crown prince, Sheik Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, has called for a national dialogue to try to bridge differences, preserve the monarchy and unite the nation.

But so far there is no substantive dialogue between the sides.

There is a test of wills, as the Sunnis fight to hold on to what they have and the Shiites grapple for their fair share after years of being marginalized by an abso-

lute monarchy that has ruled the nation for two centuries.

“I’m really excited, but I don’t know what is going to happen,” said Fatima Amroum, a 25-year-old woman in a black abaya who was quietly texting as she watched the procession on Tuesday. “I’m a little scared of uncertainty; we might get what we demand, but freedom will be chaotic at the beginning.”

The days of protest and repression have mostly been about the Shiites speaking up and the Sunnis cracking down. But on Monday night, in the wealthy neighborhood of Juffair, tens of thousands of pro-government demonstrators poured into Al Fateh Grand Mosque to express their support for the embattled king.

The pro-government crowd borrowed some of the opposition’s slogans, including “no Sunni, no Shia, only Bahraini.”

But that was where the call for unity started and ended.

This was an affluent crowd, far different from the mostly low-income Shiites who took to the streets to demand a constitutional monarchy, an elected government and a representative Parliament. The air was scented

4 Americans killed on hijacked yacht

Boehner: Democrats are stalling on spending cuts

Four Americans taken hostage after their yacht was hijacked by Somali pirates were killed early Tuesday after gunfire erupted during attempts by the U.S. Navy to negotiate with their captors, according to the U.S. military.

Two pirates were also killed in the confrontation, and 13 were taken into U.S. custody.

The Americans, Jean and Scott Adam, from Southern California, and Phyllis Mackay and Robert A. Riggle, from Seattle, were sailing for Djibouti to refuel when they were hijacked several hundred miles off the coast of Oman on Friday afternoon.

A Navy warship had been shadowing the 58foot yacht, called the Quest, since Saturday.

U.S. officials had opened a channel of communication between the pirates’ financier as well as elders from their village to help negotiate the hostages’ release.

WASHINGTON — As the strategic jockeying in a fight over federal spending kicked into high gear, the Republican House speaker, John A. Boehner, said Tuesday that it was up to the White House and the Democrats who control the Senate to agree to at least some Republican-backed cuts to help reach a short-term deal and avoid a government shutdown early next month.

The House on Saturday approved more than $60 billion in spending reductions, for the fiscal year that runs through Sept. 30, that would hit nearly every area of the government. Not one Democrat voted for the bill, and the White House has threatened to veto it. Senate Democrats, saying more time is needed to reach a longer-term agreement, are calling for a 30-day extension that would continue to hold spending generally at last year’s levels, but Republicans say that is not enough.

The current stopgap measure expires March 4.

with perfume, and people drove expensive cars. In a visceral demonstration of the distance between Sunni and Shiite, the crowd cheered a police helicopter that swooped low, a symbol of the heavy-handed tactics that have been used to intimidate the Shiites.

“We love King Hamad and we hate chaos,” said Hannan al-Abdallah, 22, as she joined the progovernment rally. “This is our country and we’re looking after it.”

Ali al-Yaffi, 29, drove to the pro-government demonstration with friends in his shiny white sport utility vehicle. He was angry and distrustful. “The democracy they have been asking for is already here,” he said. “But the Shias, they have their ayatollahs, and whatever they say, they will run and do it. If they tell them to burn a house, they will. I think they have a clear intention to disrupt this country.”

On that point there is agreement: The Shiite opposition does want to disrupt, but with peaceful protests aimed at achieving its demands. The public here has learned the lessons of Egypt’s popular uprising and the power of peaceful opposition.

CHICAGO — Rahm Emanuel, a top adviser to two U.S. presidents who returned to Chicago just months ago, swept into the mayor’s office Tuesday, inheriting a city reeling from recession and promising to reshape City Hall.

He achieved what was considered almost unthinkable just months ago, collecting a majority of support against five opponents in the first Chicago election without a sitting mayor since 1947.

In a city with its share of racial divisions, Emanuel appealed to voters across those lines. He won the predominantly white wards of his former congressional district on the North and Northwest Sides.

And the former chief of staff to President Barack Obama also scored substantial margins in predominantly African-American neighborhoods.

“All I can say, you sure know how to make a guy feel at home,” Emanuel, who faced a high-profile legal challenge to his residency, told a packed room at a plumbers’ union hall on the Near West Side.

“Because of the people of Chicago, this is the warmest place in America.”

Emanuel will become Chicago’s first Jewish mayor and 46th overall. He’ll succeed Mayor Richard Daley, the city’s longest-serving chief executive.

Emanuel amassed 55.1 percent with 98 percent of city precincts counted, above the 50 percent benchmark he needed to win outright and avoid an April runoff and six more weeks of campaigning.

Gery Chico had 24.1 percent while Miguel del Valle 9.3 percent and Carol Moseley Braun 8.8 percent. Two lesserknown candidates, Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins and William “Dock” Walls, received less than 3 percent combined.

Emanuel won 40 of the city’s 50 wards, getting more than 70 percent of the vote in the heavily populated lakefront wards. Emanuel also won with more than 50 percent of the vote in wards with large African-American populations, racking up margins

Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel laughs before addressing the crowd Tuesday in Chicago. Emanuel was easily elected mayor of Chicago Tuesday. of at least 2-to-1 over the major black candidate, Braun.

Chico won the remaining 10 city wards. They were primarily in Latino-heavy wards on the Southwest Side, where he was raised, and the West Side. Chico, Daley’s former chief of staff, also won the 19th and 41st wards, both with large populations of police and firefighters whose unions endorsed him. Still, Chico’s vote advantage over Emanuel in those wards was not significant.

Turnout was 41 percent, nearly 10 points lower than election officials predicted.

Emanuel nodded to the tests facing the city and said he will deal with them head-on, but also by seeking help.

“Tonight, we are moving forward in the only way we truly can — together, as one city with one future,” he said. “The real work of building a better future begins tonight and I intend to enlist ... every one of you in our city.”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court engaged in a fast-paced argument Tuesday over whether a female microbiologist who tried to poison her husband’s lover with a toxic chemical could Justice be charged Clarence under a Thomas federal law intended to regulate chemical weapons.

One justice, as usual, said nothing during arguments — as he has for exactly five years.

Justice Clarence Thomas speaks in the court only on the few occasions each year when he reads a decision. He last spoke during oral arguments on Feb. 22, 2006, during a South Carolina murder case and has since sat silently through more than 350 other cases.

Thomas has said oral arguments are unnecessary to deciding a case and perhaps even a sideshow. The justices rely on written briefs and lower court opinions in making their decisions, he says.

He has also suggested that more of his colleagues should follow his example, rather than interrupt the lawyers making their arguments.

“So why do you beat up on people if you already know?” he told law students at the University of Alabama two years ago. “I don’t beat up on them. I refuse to participate. I don’t like it, so I don’t do it.”

The other justices do not agree. They say the back-andforth with the lawyers gives them an opportunity to clarify aspects of the case. Sometimes, they also use the arguments to throw out ideas to get their colleagues’ attention.

On occasion, the justices say, the answers they hear persuade them to change their decision.

Thomas, by contrast, indicates he has his mind made up before the argument.

Thomas’ aversion to legal arguments goes beyond the courtroom. In public appearances, Thomas usually steers clear of legal topics and controversies.

Supreme Court weighs power of Congress

Another job lost in the recession: the mayor’s

By Abby Goodnough New York Times News Service

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. — These are trying times for the people of Central Falls, a city so close to fiscal collapse that the state seized control of City Hall last summer. Taxes have risen nearly 20 percent to help solve the immediate crisis, unions have agreed to givebacks and the city of 19,000 — all 1.29 square miles of it — seems tinged with defeat.

But to hear Mayor Charles Moreau tell it, his own suffering may be worst of all.

Moreau, a Democrat serving his fourth term, has not set foot in City Hall since July 19, the day that a state-appointed receiver took control. The state police knocked on his door that morning, he said, demanded his city-owned car and cell phone and keys to City Hall and handed him a letter announcing that his salary of $71,736 was being cut to $26,000. His role was now advisory, he was informed.

“I was told they’d call if they needed me,” Moreau said recently in a rare interview. “They haven’t called since.”

Across the nation, cities and states are trying myriad ways of righting their fiscal ships as the recession plods on. But locking the mayor out of City Hall is generally not one of them.

A number of local governments are so financially distressed that states have assumed an oversight role. Several cities in Michigan have emergency financial managers appointed by the state, for example, and in New York, a state board seized control of Nassau County’s finances last month. But in those cases and others, local elected officials have retained some role.

“The circumstances that have led to the difficulties in Central Falls may actually be widespread,” said Christopher Hoene, director of research for the National League of Cities. “But not very many cities are in that dire straits.”

Rights violated?

Moreau, 47, is suing the state, asserting that the law allowing the takeover of financially troubled cities violates his constitutional right to due process, among other things. He appealed to the Rhode Island Supreme Court after losing the first round and is awaiting a ruling.

Meanwhile, the blunt-talking mayor is working at his brother’s real estate office, down the street from City Hall, and stewing about the situation he finds himself in.

He has rebuffed calls to step down and, in fact, said he was already planning his 2013 re-election campaign.

“My bumper stickers are ready to be printed,” he said. “I’d win re-election with

States Continued from A1 Fleeing was not an option for Democrats in Ohio because the Republicans had enough members on their side for a quorum.

Republicans have a 23-10 majority in the Ohio Senate, and the bill needs 17 votes to pass. It was not clear when it would be voted on.

The bills have amounted to the largest assault on collective bargaining in recent memory, labor experts said, striking at the very heart of a U.S. labor movement that is already deeply atrophied.

“I think we are looking at the future of the labor movement being defined in rotundas in several states,” said Harley Shaiken, a professor at University of California at Berkeley specializing in labor issues. “This is a structural change with profound repercussions.”

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in a case that touched on the most pressing constitutional question of the day: Just how much power does Congress have to regulate matters ordinarily left up to the states? The fate of President Barack Obama’s health care law will turn on how that question is answered.

But based on the justices’ comments, the lurid facts of the case and the odd posture in which it reached the court, the eventual decision will probably offer only limited guidance on the law’s prospects.

The case heard Tuesday arose from a domestic dispute. Carol Bond, a Pennsylvania woman, did not take it well when she learned that her husband was the father of her best friend’s child. She promised to make her former friend’s life “a living hell,” and she drew on her skills as a microbiologist to do so.

Bond spread harmful chemicals on her friend’s car, mailbox and doorknob. The friend suffered only a minor injury.

Such matters are usually handled by the local police and prosecutors. In Bond’s case, though, federal prosecutors charged her with using unconventional weapons in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.

Drastic steps required The Ohio bill was introduced this month by a Republican senator, Shannon Jones, who said it was intended to give state and local governments more control over their finances in hard economic times. But opponents say the bill is about politics, calling it a direct attack on the unions, which have long been reliable Democratic supporters.

“They’re using a fiscal challenge as an excuse to consolidate political power,” said former Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, who was in the crowd of protesters in Columbus.

Rob Nichols, a spokesman for Ohio’s governor, John Kasich, a Republican, denied that characterization.

“This is nothing more than an effort to reduce the cost of governance so we can start to create jobs,” he said by telephone. “This is an effort to save the state, no agendas.”

Ohio is facing an $8 billion budget deficit, about 15 percent of its two-year budget, far less than states like California, Illinois and New Jersey but still significant, and Kasich says drastic steps are required to plug the gap.

“The state is at a point of no return,” said Chris Kershner, a Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce vice president, who testified last week before the Senate committee overseeing the bill.

“Change must happen now if

Mayor Charles Moreau walks through a parking lot where he hopes to build a chocolate factory in Central Falls, R.I., on Feb. 8. Moreau has been demoted to an advisory role since a state-appointed receiver took control of the town in July.

90 percent of the vote if the election was today.”

His confidence seemed striking, in part because Moreau is the subject of a state and federal corruption investigation involving his hiring of a friend to board up dozens of abandoned buildings in town for about $2 million. The friend, a contractor, also installed a new furnace in the mayor’s house in 2009, according to The Providence Journal, possibly charging less than it was worth.

Moreau, a factory worker’s son and former restaurant owner known around town as Chuckie, would not discuss the investigation except to call it “all political” and “all nonsense.” He said he had done nothing wrong.

Moreau’s administration took the state by surprise by declaring fiscal insolvency last May. The city became the first in Rhode Island history to seek state bankruptcy protection, citing a deficit and retiree benefit obligations so profound as to seem insurmountable.

That alarmed the state, which feared other beleaguered cities would follow suit, and bond rating agencies, which downgraded Central Falls’ debt to junk status.

So the legislature swiftly passed a law allowing indefinite state oversight, a measure Moreau initially supported.

The receiver, Mark Pfeiffer, a retired state judge, did not move into Moreau’s office when he arrived on the job, laying claim to a conference room instead. The office re-

Ohio emerges solvent from the current fiscal situation.”

Some in the Columbus crowd compared themselves to protestors in Egypt: a growing movement of people who will not take it anymore. But labor experts and political analysts were skeptical that Columbus would go the way of Cairo.

Unions dwindling Unionized workers represented just 6.9 percent of all workers in the private sector in 2010, according to Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard, down from about 36 percent in 1955.

The number of unionized workers in the public sector has held steady at about 35 percent since the late ’70s, he said.

“Seven percent in the United States makes them a very rare breed,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a high probability that this will be an explosive event where the average American says, ‘Wait, this is what’s left of the middle class — what are you doing?’”

In Wisconsin, Senate Democrats remained in hiding across the state line, depriving the chamber the quorum needed to take up the budget repair bill, which includes provisions they view as an attack on public sector unions.

Meanwhile, Gov. Scott Walker, who introduced the legislation, warned that if the bill was not passed, layoff notices could be sent to state workers as early as next week.

Seeking to increase pressure on Walker to compromise, the South Central Wisconsin Federation of Labor announced Tuesday that it had endorsed a rare labor action — a general strike that would begin if he signed the bill that would curb collective bargaining rights.

The federation, which repre-

mains locked, a curtain over the door.

Pfeiffer said he saw no choice but to demote Moreau to advisory status.

“You couldn’t have somebody come in and perform the duties of the mayor and have somebody else being the mayor,” he said. “It doesn’t work very well, and particularly it doesn’t work well in a distressed community.”

Pfeiffer tried to build a relationship with the City Council, but within months it deteriorated and he reduced its members to advisory status. He went to court in September to stop the mayor and the Council from making new appointments, and soon after, Moreau sued. He said he had hired lawyers with his own money; Pfeiffer said he had refused to authorize city funds.

The suit calls the receivership law “undemocratic,” saying it violates the separation of powers doctrine by giving Pfeiffer executive and legislative powers.

“Obviously here the people have been completely disenfranchised,” said Michael Kelly, Moreau’s lawyer. “We have what I would suggest is a form of dictatorship as opposed to a democracy.”

Sloppy budget management Moreau said he had not bothered reading a lengthy report that Pfeiffer submitted to the state in December with recommendations for averting fiscal collapse, including the possibility of merging the city with neighboring Pawtucket. The re-

sents 45,000 unionized workers in the Madison area, said it was not a formal call for a general strike but the first step toward preparing for an eventual strike.

Labor officials said more senior union leaders would have to make the official decision to call a general strike, which would involve public-sector and privatesector workers.

The Ohio bill, if passed, would do away with the legal protections passed in 1983 governing collective bargaining for state workers, including prohibitions on hiring alternate workers during a strike. Bargaining power would be weakened for local workers, doing away with binding arbitration, an option favored by police officers and firefighters, who are not allowed to strike.

It would also slice into publicworker benefits by taking health insurance off the bargaining table and requiring government workers to pay at least 20 percent of the cost. It would strip automatic pay increases and mandatory sick days for teachers.

The bill could have political repercussions for Ohio Republicans, who draw some of their votes from among union members. Jeremy Mendenhall, president of the Ohio Troopers Association, who is an active duty sergeant and a registered Republican, said he was angry with his party for pushing it.

“People won’t forget this in 2012,” he said.

But Republicans could also gain, said Gene Beaupre, a political science professor at Xavier University in Cincinnati. Taking a cost-cutting position against unions is part of the mantra for groups like the Tea Party, and not necessarily unpopular.

“There is a strong sentiment against pension benefits and all that has accrued over the years as a result of organized public labor,” Beaupre said.

port said the city’s problems were rooted in more than a decade of elected leaders approving generous union contracts without figuring out how to pay for them.

The troubles worsened recently because of state aid reductions and inaccurate budget assumptions. For example, the city anticipated $1.2 million in revenue from the detention center in 2009-10 and got none.

There have been few layoffs during the receivership and the city has started paying its bills again, but in his report, Pfeiffer warned that the specter of bankruptcy still loomed.

He said the city, with an annual budget of about $18 million, faced annual deficits of $5 million and combined pension and retiree health benefit obligations of about $80 million. Moreau said it was nothing he did not know already.

“I think it’s all nonsense,” he said of Pfeiffer’s recommendations, calling the proposal to merge the city with Pawtucket “absurd.”

Moreau also said he was galled by Pfeiffer’s salary of $200 an hour, and while at one point he said his court battle was “not about the money,” he also lamented that his wife had been forced to return to work and his youngest child to enter day care.

“This was not my family plan,” he said.

Some residents clearly share the mayor’s outrage, while others are hopeful about the receivership or indifferent.

Sparky Chippis, a restaurant owner and Moreau ally who has known the mayor since childhood, described Moreau’s situation as “an injustice.”

“The guy was elected by people,” Chippis said, “he had the trust of the people to be in the office over there.”

But James Diossa, the only City Council member who did not join Moreau’s lawsuit, said many residents appreciated the change.

“The prior administration didn’t do a great job as far as keeping the community informed, and the community really lost faith,” said Diossa, who heads an advisory council to the receiver.

Pfeiffer said few citizens had complained to him, but Moreau said that is because people are afraid.

“They should be marching in the streets as to what’s been done to me,” he said.

Pfeiffer stepped down earlier this month; his term was up and the new governor, Lincoln Chafee, an independent, wanted to appoint “a trusted adviser,” a spokesman said. With the pick, Robert Flanders Jr., a former State Supreme Court justice, in charge, Moreau said he was hoping to get a call.

“I will send him a letter and be very frank with him that I’m here to help,” he said.

Union battles go national at a pivotal time for labor

By Mark Niquette Bloomberg News

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Unions and their allies are planning rallies, vigils and press conferences in at least 27 states this week against what they see as a national attack on government employees that is a seminal moment for organized labor.

Demonstrations are spreading from Wisconsin and Ohio, where bills from Republican governors to curtail collective-bargaining rights have attracted thousands of protesters. Efforts include lobbying all week against measures in Indiana and a Friday AFLCIO rally to warn New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie “not to balance the budget on the backs of middle-class families.”

States face deficits that may total $125 billion nationwide in the next fiscal year. Labor leaders say legislative battles over curbs on government employees’ power and pay are an assault on unions and their support of the Democratic Party. The state collective-bargaining bills and

the Washington showdown over federal spending, may answer fundamental questions about government’s role and the future of the U.S. worker, they say.

“The Republican Party’s strategy is to turn working Americans against one another — unionized versus non-unionized, public versus private, older workers close to retirement age against younger ones who don’t believe Social Security will be there for them,” Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, said in an e-mail. Reich was labor secretary under President Bill Clinton.

In 17 states, government employees are the subjects of efforts to restrict their union rights and curb earnings, said Steven Kreisberg, collective bargaining director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Protests shake markets; crude soars

By Clifford Krauss and Christine Hauser New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — The political turmoil sweeping the Arab world drove oil prices sharply higher and stocks much lower Tuesday despite efforts by Saudi Arabia to calm turbulent markets.

Oil is now at a price not seen since the recession began, and it is more than $20 above goals set in recent months by Saudi officials as strong enough to satisfy the top producers but not so strong they might suffocate the global economic recovery.

Although there are still plentiful supplies of oil and gasoline in the United States and in much of the world, U.S. consumers are now paying an average of $3.17 a gallon for regular gasoline, a rise of 6 cents a gallon over the past week, according to the AAA daily fuel gauge report. Analysts are

Libya Continued from A1 Even in this coastal town, more than 900 miles from Libya’s capital and in an area that has slipped well beyond the government’s control, some still support Gadhafi, who has ruled this country for 41 years.

On the unlit road leading from the Egyptian border, two young men weaved their vehicle through the lawless roads.

Salam Mheishi, 17, balanced his rifle in his lap. Trucks sped past filled with men chanting: “God. Moammar. Libya. That’s it.”

“The colonel just spoke,” one of the men in the car said, referring to Gadhafi, who had just given a televised speech. Celebratory gunfire echoed through the night air. “They love him. We love him.”

A teacher walked up to the car and yelled inside.

“The president, Hillary Clinton, the United Nations and human rights groups must intervene,” he said. “The people are being killed in the streets of Tripoli. He’s a psycho, and he will create a catastrophe.”

Scam Continued from A1 Lawrence asked Proctor to send a $600 deposit to reserve the house. Proctor felt uncomfortable with the way Lawrence was doing business. Meanwhile, the post was flagged for removal on Craigslist.

On a hunch, Proctor checked with the online search engine Bing.com to see if the house was in foreclosure. She said she found several properties on the block that seemed to be. With that, she became convinced Lawrence was a fraud.

The e-mails from Lawrence suggest a scam, said several people consulted on the matter, including Lt. Ben Gregory of the Bend Police Department.

“We frequently see those types of scams here in the city of Bend,” Gregory said.

On the state level, the Oregon Department of Justice has received 19 complaints from consumers about rental scams on Craigslist, according to spokesman Tony Green.

Proctor believes cities riddled with foreclosures and vacant homes are more prone to be the settings for rental scams.

“In a small town, I doubt people would get by with this very easily,” said Proctor, who lived in Oakridge before moving to her current home.

Proctor said she did not at first read into the linguistic peculiarities in the e-mails she received from the supposed landlord, who claimed he and his wife are now involved in “a program called Empowering Youth to Fight Racism, HIV/AIDS, Poverty and Lack of Education,” in Benin, South Africa and Nigeria.

“I thought they were foreign people from here,” Proctor said.

She became angry when she noticed Lawrence apparently preying on her being religious.

When she expressed to him she did not like the style in which they were communicating, he wrote, “I understand how you feel, … but i want you to get your mind relax and have FAITH IN GOD ALMIGHTY okay. … i so much thank GOD that you are a capable and also responsible person.

This is what my husband and I are also afraid about, that is why i have been praying about this and i know GOD brought us together so just get your mind relax here.

“I want you to know you are dealing with a Good family Christian that keeps to there words, i will always pray for you

warning that prices could easily top $3.50 by the summer driving season.

“Higher energy prices act like a tax on consumers, reducing the amount of discretionary purchasing power that they have,” said Lawrence Creatura, a portfolio manager at Federated Investors.

Those concerns helped send the Dow Jones industrial average down 178.46 points, or 1.44 percent, to 12,212.79. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index declined 27.57 points, or 2.05 percent, to 1,315.44, while the NASDAQ composite index lost 77.53 points, or 2.74 percent, to 2,756.42. Markets in Asia and Europe were also lower.

Saudi Arabia’s oil minister sought to reassure the markets Tuesday, saying that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was ready to pump more oil to compensate for any

decline. At least 50,000 barrels a day of output has already been halted in Libya.

“OPEC is ready to meet any shortage in supply when it happens,” the Saudi oil minister, Ali al-Naimi, said at a news conference after a meeting of ministers of oil producing and consuming nations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“There is concern and fear, but there is no shortage.”

Europe appears most immediately vulnerable to the strife in Libya, which produces almost 2 percent of the world’s oil. More than 85 percent of its exports go to Europe; more than a third goes to Italy alone. Libya sends only a small fraction of its oil to the United States, but because oil is a world commodity, Americans are not immune to the price shock waves.

In New York, crude oil for March delivery gained $7.37, or

8.6 percent, to $93.57 a barrel, while oil for April delivery rose 6.4 percent, to $95.42 a barrel.

Tom Kloza, the chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, estimated that the Saudis could pump an additional 1 million to 1.5 million barrels in a matter of days. As the largest producer, Saudi Arabia is by far the most influential member of OPEC, with a reserve capacity to deliver an additional 4 million to 5 million barrels to the world markets after several weeks of preparation. That is more than twice the oil that world markets would lose if production were halted completely by unrest in Libya.

“Unless this unrest spreads to the streets of Jeddah and Riyadh,” Kloza said, “I think it’s a very manageable situation and prices are closer to cresting than they are to exploding higher.”

Mheishi listened. The background picture on his phone is an image of Gadhafi. Later he defended his leader and blamed “thugs” for turning peaceful protests to violence. Along the road he pointed with pride to a villa he said was owned by Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, Gadhafi’s son.

“We have money here, and people are happy. When thugs were released from prisons, they seized tanks and weapons and stole from the shops,” Mheishi said. “People want peace and stability. They want the president.”

On the road, he waved hello to young men manning checkpoints, armed with guns and sticks. They dressed in pieces of police and army uniforms given to them by defectors. Much of the light weaponry was apparently provided by the army.

Across the eastern part of Libya, military and police defectors stood with the opposition. Many told of turning against the government after a sister, a neighbor or a relative was killed in what they described as massacres.

Attiya el Sabr, 32, a border guard, said he defected last Thursday after his brother-in-law

was shot in the town of Tobruk.

“Libya is in a security vacuum, and it’s uncontrolled now,” he said. “The civilian people protect the area.”

Even top military officers have defected. On Sunday, Maj. Gen. Suleiman Mahmoud, the commander of the Tobruk Garrison, took off his shoes and entered a mosque, he said. Inside he hailed the martyrs of the revolution, and told the people he was with them.

Hundreds gathered around him and wept. Mahmoud said that he had participated in Gadhafi’s 1969 revolution, but that his family had persuaded him in recent days to turn against the government. His daughter, who holds a doctorate, sobbed into the phone, telling him of the hundreds who had been killed in their home town of Benghazi. Many were teenage boys and some were the neighbors’ children.

“I decided to withdraw from the revolutionary army and join the people,” Mahmoud said, still in his uniform Tuesday night.

“I didn’t expect a revolutionary challenge to ‘the African King of Kings,’ “ he said, a refer-

ence to Gadhafi’s preferred title for himself. “The revolution is now armed and demolishing old buildings and reconstructing a world of freedom, of prime values, honesty, peace and love.”

He said the United States and other foreign powers should not “apply double standards in dealing with Libya because of oil and economy.” He said he knows that his choice to defect is dangerous, and that the consequences could be severe if the revolution fails.

“Maybe the next time you come to Tobruk, you’ll find me in a grave,” he said.

Some opposition figures are still too afraid to give their names to reporters. But in a hotel lobby, Modeer, the engineer, said he was willing to speak out against what he described as atrocities by Gadhafi’s crumbling government.

“In Tripoli, they shot people in cold blood,” he said, tears streaming down his face. “We have no other choice. We die or we win.”

He pulled out a small pistol from his pocket.

“This is all I have. Six bullets,” he said.

Tips to avoid online scams Craigslist spokesman Tony Green offered several tips to protect prospective home renters from scams like the one to which Proctor almost fell victim: • Only do business with local buyers or sellers.

• Visit a home and go inside before renting it.

• Don’t wire money to people you don’t know.

• Don’t pay a rent deposit until after you meet with the homeowner or a representative and you check the written agreement in person.

• Don’t send your personally identifiable information to a homeowner online.

• Be careful if the only way to contact the homeowner is by e-mail.

• If dealing online, independently confirm the identity and location of the homeowner.

• Be wary of homeowners who say they are traveling or living abroad.

• Call the county assessor’s office and see who owns the home, and then call the owner or owners to see if the rental is legitimate.

The International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network accepts complaints about international scams at www.econsumer.gov. The state attorney general takes complaints online, at www.doj.state.or.us/finfraud/ engexplanation.shtml, or by phone, at 877-877-9392.

so be rest assured that my house is given to you already….”

After receiving the message, Proctor searched Bing and found information on a possible foreclosure. “I just found out the house you are trying to rent is in (foreclosure) and this ad was a scam,” she wrote.

She said she reported the incident to the Bend Police Department. But Gregory said there was

nothing local law enforcement could do. “Our hands are tied in those investigations, definitely,” he said.

It is not clear how Lawrence got information on the house he advertised on Craigslist.

Green wrote in a statement, “In the Craigslist Rental Scam, a con artist will search (the Regional Multiple Listing Service) and other real estate listing sites,

copy images and other details about property for sale, and create a fake rental advertisement on Craigslist. The scam artists will lure victims by posting the properties at below-market rates and in desirable locations.”

The house is in the Golfside Park manufactured- and stick-built-home subdivision in Southeast Bend, and Golfside Investments LLC owns the land, said Jim Kemry, the property manager.

Dean and Tracy Reynolds of Camas, Wash., own the house after buying it in April 2010 from New York-based M&T Bank Corp., according to Deschutes County records. The couple said someone currently pays rent and lives in the house.

“It puts good property owners in a bad light when the scams are perpetrated even without our knowledge,” Dean Reynolds said.

Property owners can avoid becoming victims of similar scams by searching the Internet regularly for advertisements mentioning properties they own and reporting spam to the website owner, Green wrote.

Cell phones affect brain activity, but study’s implications unclear

By Rob Stein The Washington Post

Are cell phones safe? That question has gotten a lot of attention, but so far there has been no convincing evidence that those ubiquitous devices cause health problems. A new federal study may stir things up further, but the bottom line again is that the study raises more questions than it answers.

Nora Volkow of the National Institutes of Health and colleagues conducted positron emission tomography, or PET, scans on the brains of 47 subjects throughout 2009 as the subjects held phones up to their left or right ears for 50 minutes at a time, sometimes on but muted, and other times off.

The researchers found that the activity of the entire brain did not differ between when

School Continued from A1 But board members Nori Juba and Cheri Helt, who visited with legislators in Salem last week, said that help may not come.

“We said we need help on the cost side and the biggest help would be right here with PERS, and we were told that’s not going to happen,” Helt said. “Right now they’re not entertaining any of these thoughts (about changing PERS) at all. They absolutely told us they’re not able to get this where anyone would hear them. This will not be happening. ... There’s a lot of work to be done to get that on the table at all.”

Juba said he’d never heard legislators so certain there was no more funding available for education.

“They said there’s no more money, so ask for more money but it’s not going to happen,” he said. “$5.8 (billion for K-12 funding) will probably be the bottom line.”

Short of help from the legislature on PERS, the district is looking to the legislature for a way out of the Oregon Educators Benefit Board, which the district is required to use for its health insurance. And to help shore up its budget, it’s also planning to keep its technology and textbook funds depleted, and to use $2.45 million of its ending fund balance.

“It’s kind of like a rainy day fund. And it’s raining,” Rexford said.

the phone was on or off. But activity in the brain region closest to the antenna, known as the orbitofrontal cortex and temporal pole, was significantly higher — about 7 percent more active — when the phone was on than when it was off.

“The increases were significantly correlated with the estimated electromagnetic field amplitudes, both for absolute metabolism and normalized metabolism,” the authors wrote.

“These results provide evidence that the human brain is sensitive to the effects of ... acute cellphone exposures.”

They add, however, that “these results provide no information as to their relevance regarding potential carcinogenic effects (or lack of such effects) from chronic cell phone use. Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have potential longterm harmful consequences.”

And district officials will work with unions to try to bring personnel costs down. All three of its unions are set to bargain this spring for new contracts.

“We just received notice from (the teachers’ union) to start the bargaining process, and we’re going to have a ton of unknowns,” Rexford said. “That is going to probably mean we’ve got to find a variety of solutions in there.”

This year the district and unions agreed to cut between seven and 10 days from employees’ contracts.

Because of so much uncertainty, the district is recommending the board delay its budget process. If approved, the board and budget committee will not begin their work until April 26, and likely will not adopt their final budget until June 28.

“There’s not a lot of good news to find in there,” Rexford told the school board. “But we’re all big boys and girls, and we’ve got some little boys and girls who we need to do our best work for to find a solution so they can have whatever year they’re having next year. Whether they’re seniors or first-graders, they’ll only be first-graders once and seniors once. Our challenge is daunting.”

Belgium endures political paralysis

By Henry Chu Los Angeles Times

BRUSSELS — If a government falls and practically nobody hears it, does it make a sound?

Unable — or unwilling — to work together, bickering politicians have left unassuming Belgium without a fully functioning government for eight months, the longest for any nation in Europe since World War II. Through most of that time, few Belgians, let alone the outside world, even seemed to notice. Trains continue to run, waffles are still being grilled on street corners, and people window-shop along centuriesold arcades. Tourists still sample mussels, go for overpriced canal rides in Bruges and snap up Tintin souvenirs, blissfully unaware of a political crisis.

The European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, both headquartered here in Brussels, barely muster a shrug at the vagaries of Belgian domestic politics.

But patience inside and outside the country is starting to wear thin, and not just because residents are embarrassed that they could overtake Iraq for the modern world record in how long it takes to form a government. (Iraq: 289 days, in 2010.

Belgium: 253 as of Monday and counting, according to a cheeky Belgian website, www. hetwereldrecord.be.)

With only a caretaker government in place since the previous one collapsed and inconclusive elections were held in June, no new policies are being enacted at a time when the unemployment rate hovers around 8 percent, economic recovery is fragile, and the euro remains in crisis.

Hit-and-run

Rescuers frantically search for survivors

Belgians participate in a ‘unity’ march in Brussels in May. The country has gone eight months without a fully functioning government, the longest stretch for any European nation in decades.

“It’s really important that we demonstrate in Belgium that finding an agreement in a multicultural society is actually a cornerstone of building Europe.”

— Philippe Lamberts, Belgian member of European Parliament Normally mild-mannered Belgians are finally throwing off their indifference — and their clothes.

On Thursday, several dozen protesters stripped to their underwear in the northern city of Ghent to show their displeasure, as well as some goose bumps in the chilly weather. They weren’t ashamed, but Belgium’s leaders should be, they said, because even Iraq managed to name a prime minister, if not a fully formed government, at this stage in the game.

On a more serious note, tens of thousands of Belgians marched through Brussels last month to protest their lawmakers’ inability to do what they’ve been elected to do: run the country.

While demonstrators throughout the Arab world are trying to get rid of their governments, Belgians are yearning for one.

“There are peaks of hope when you think they’ll do something, and then it goes down again. It’s like a manic-depressive way of forming a government,” said Felix De Clerck, 27, who helped organize the rally.

One of the country’s best-known actors even called on Belgian men to stop shaving until a government is in place. But a quick beard check on the streets of Brussels suggests that the idea has yet to catch on.

becoming unseemly.

To break the deadlock, King Albert II has appointed a series of mediators, none of whom has had any success. The latest one to quit stuck it out for three months before finally telling his royal highness late last month that it was simply no use.

“It was impossible to break the impasse,” said the mediator, Johan Vande Lanotte, who, coincidentally or not, sports a goatee.

“There is no real perspective of progress.”

Some urgency was added to the talks after a ratings agency warned Brussels in December that a continued standoff could drag down the country’s credit rating.

Pascal Delwit, a professor at the Free University of Brussels, is worried that the Belgian art of compromise, built up over the years, is being lost. Throughout 181 years of political matrimony, the Dutch and French populations may not have seen eye to eye, but they have mostly managed to stay civil and search for common ground.

That sense of cooperation has deteriorated markedly in recent years, fueled, as in so many marriages, by disputes over money. In this case, wealthy Flanders resents subsidizing poorer Wallonia.

Philippe Lamberts, a member of the European Parliament from Belgium’s Green Party, said resolving the crisis in Brussels would set a beneficial example for the rest of Europe, where similar regional tensions can be found within nations, such as Italy and Spain, and between the northern and southern parts of the continent.

“It’s really important that we demonstrate in Belgium that finding an agreement in a multicultural society is actually a cornerstone of building Europe,” Lamberts said.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — Rescue workers spent a cold, rainy night pulling survivors from the wreckage caused by a powerful earthquake that struck Christchurch, New Zealand’s second largest city, early Tuesday afternoon, killing at least 75 people.

Some emerged unscathed from the rubble, while emergency workers had to amputate the limbs of others who were trapped, the city’s police superintendent, Russell Gibson, told Radio New Zealand on Wednesday morning.

Officials said Wednesday that at least 75 people had been killed, although only 55 had been identified. Authorities have repeatedly warned that the final death toll could be significantly higher.

Several buildings were demolished when the 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch, a graceful 19th-century city of nearly 400,000 people, during the weekday lunch hour.

Two large office towers, the Pyne Gould building and the Canterbury Television headquarters, virtually collapsed. Some cars and buses were smashed by falling debris.

“We’ve been pulling 20 or 30 people out of those buildings

right throughout the night,” Gibson said.

But many people did not survive, and Gibson said the streets were littered with bodies.

“They are trapped in cars, crushed under rubble and, where they are clearly deceased, our focus unfortunately at this time has turned to the living,” he told the radio network. “We are getting texts and tapping sounds from some of these buildings, and that’s where our focus is at the moment.”

Ross Ditmer, the fire service area commander, said that 15 people had been found alive deep in the wreckage of the Canterbury Television building, which caught fire after it collapsed.

Photographs and videos from the scene showed people running through the streets and landslides pouring rocks and debris into suburban streets.

People said they watched the spire of the landmark ChristChurch Cathedral come crashing down. One witness called it “the most frightening thing of my entire life,” and television video showed a person clinging to a window in the cathedral’s steeple.

The quake hit the South Island just before 1 p.m. local time. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was part of an aftershock sequence from a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that rocked the area in September, but caused no casualties.

In their search of the Biedscheids’ home, police seized three cell phones, three computers and two GPS devices. Paper records, including a Rolodex and a schedule for the family’s nanny, were seized, as were electronic media, including memory cards, thumb drives and an external hard drive.

The warrant affidavit states that police hope to retrieve records of electronic communications, including phone calls, text messages, e-mails and postings to social networking sites. Records of financial transactions and cell phone records – particularly cell phones equipped with GPS features — can be used to determine an individual’s location at a given time, according to the affidavit.

Police are still awaiting information that has been subpoenaed, Gregory said, but he declined to describe the information that has yet to be received by investigators. Electronic communications, including phone records, and financial records are among the types of information police would typically subpoena in this type of investigation, he said.

The admissibility of some of the items seized during the search of the Biedscheids’ home is in question. Houze obtained a protective order barring police from examining an external hard drive, a desktop computer, a printer and shredded paper seized during the search on the grounds the items contain confidential attorney-client materials that may not be searched or seized under the warrant.

Flaherty did not return a call seeking information on when a judge will issue a ruling on whether police will be permitted to examine any of the items subject to the protective order.

Gregory said he’s confident police will have a strong case to present to a grand jury once their investigation is complete.

“I still believe we’re going to close it,” Gregory said. “We’ve gotta do a good job, and this is part of doing a good job.”

a more drastic proposal. This month, she urged the partners of the political negotiators to go on a sex boycott until an agreement on a government is reached.

But Temmerman is a realist, both about the power of politicians’ libidos and the possibly greater power of political inertia. “I don’t think that, first of all, the partners would go (on) a sex strike,” Temmerman told BBC Radio. “Even if they did, I don’t think this would influence or speed up our government. But it’s worth talking about it.”

The protracted political impasse is rooted in the historical divisions between the 6 million Dutch-speaking Flemings in the north and the 4.5 million Frenchspeaking Walloons in the south.

Their rivalry has produced a bewildering array of political parties that splinter the vote in elections, making coalition governments the only possibility.

But June’s elections gave new power to the strongly nationalist New Flemish Alliance, or NVA, which surged from being a small minority party to winning the most seats in Parliament — though far short of a majority. Its negotiations with the dominant party in the Francophone south, a socialist grouping, quickly went nowhere. And stayed there.

That wasn’t necessarily surprising given the N-VA’s support for a more autonomous or even an independent Flanders, an unthinkable outcome for many Belgians, especially in the south, who cling fiercely to the union of the two sides into one country in 1830.

Although Belgium has grappled with tensions between its Dutchand French-speaking communities since its foundation, no one sees an outright breakup of the country as imminent.

Still, the political paralysis is

Continued from A1 Jodie Hueske, an attorney with Les Schwab Tire Centers, confirmed Tuesday that Biedscheid is the company’s director of accounting, but said company policy prohibits her from sharing additional details of his employment.

Although Bend Police are releasing few details of their investigation, two search warrants, one authorizing a search of the house owned by Biedscheid and his wife, Ellyn, and one authorizing the search of their pickup truck, provide additional details of what officers were looking for in the first few days after the crash.

According to the search warrant return, attorney Stephen Houze contacted Lt. Ben Gregory of the Bend Police Department on Jan. 28, two days after the crash, with an offer to turn the Biedscheids’ truck over to police. Officers arrived at the Biedscheids’ home around 6 o’clock that evening; they were met by Biedscheid, Houze and Houze’s investigator.

An initial search of the truck revealed front-end damage to the passenger side and a red substance consistent with blood. Further examination conducted after the truck had been towed to the Bend Police Department turned up a missing amber bulb and broken lens pieces consistent with debris found at the crash scene.

Damage to the hood of the truck was consistent with a pedestrian strike, and imprints on the bumper and passenger side of the truck were determined to be consistent with that of a bicycle tire.

Police swabbed the steering wheel, gearshift and other portions of the truck for DNA evidence and seized portions of the damaged passenger side headlight and paint scrapings. Fingerprint cards and the driver’s side seatbelt buckle were sent to the Oregon State Police crime lab.

Police are continuing to hold the vehicle in a secure location.

Bret and Ellyn Biedscheid both allowed investigators to take samples of their DNA, fingerprints and palm prints.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF GL Solutions lands contract with Illinois Bend software developer GL Solutions has landed a contract to help the state of Illinois monitor its asbestos abatement program, the company announced Tuesday.

The Illinois Department of Public Health already uses GL Solutions regulatory software, GL Suite, to manage swimming pool, plumbing wells and other programs, but the asbestos abatement contract will be the department’s largest and most complex installation of the software, said Brian Bennett, GL Solutions marketing specialist. It also will be the first involving asbestos management for the software company.

In early December, GL Solutions won contracts with North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services and Alabama’s home builder licensing board. Later in the month, the company received a $50,000 forgivable loan from the Deschutes County job creation fund. GL Solutions has nearly doubled its workforce, from 40 in early December, to about 75, Bennett said, and it moved into a larger space, the former Unicel office on Northwest Merchant Way near Mt. Washington Drive.

Consumer confidence highest in 3 years WASHINGTON — Turmoil is spreading through the Middle East, the federal budget deficit is soaring and housing prices are falling, but consumers still feel as though things are better than they have been in three years, according to one closely watched measure.

The Consumer Confidence Index from the Conference Board jumped in February to its highest point since February 2008, in the early days of the deep recession and before the financial crisis hit, the nonprofit business research group said Tuesday.

The moderate increase reflects growing optimism about the economy’s short-term outlook, said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board’s Consumer Research Center. But she cautioned that assessment in the monthly survey was still “rather weak.”

saucy Central Oregon gets

Several local companies are cooking up unique flavors for a variety of uses

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

exas may have the edge as the barbecue capital of the world, but Central Oregon is gaining a saucy reputation. A number of companies produce original sauces from barbecue to chipotle, stir fry and gourmet finishing sauces that feature unique Oregon flavors.

Some of the products made in Redmond are actually bottled with Texas in the name, including a sauce called Texas Spicy Sauce, bottled by Redmond-based Rocky Mountain Products, which own a first-place award in 2008 National Barbecue Association competition in the barbecue sauce vinegar spicy category.

While two newcomers to the sauce business — Oregon Dan’s of Redmond and Bend-based Barcelona Finishing Sauces — are making inroads in the Northwest sauce business, the big dog among Central Oregon’s growing sauce industry is Rocky Mountain Products, which produces around 120 original sauces in Redmond, where the 20-year-old company employs 25 people and operates a 50,000-squarefoot production facility completed in 2008, according to owner and founder Todd Goodew.

“We pioneered the first fruit-based barbecue sauces in the United States,” Goodew said, referring to an apricot barbecue sauce launched by Rocky Mountain Products 18 years ago that’s still going strong.

“We have a lot of fruit in Oregon, so I thought incorporating fruit in a barbecue sauce would be a good way to create a brand identity with the region. When I first came out with it, the gourmet barbecue writers said only in Oregon would somebody come up with a fruit barbecue sauce.”

He attributes the broadening diversity of Central Oregon as one reason for the surge in sauce businesses in the region.

Redmond-based barbecue sauce company Oregon Dan’s sells four sauces that are made with agave nectar instead of sugar, and all-natural, gluten-free ingredients.

Roberto Riquelme, one of the family owners of Barcelona Finishing Sauces, smiles with pride when he talks about the company’s gourmet cooking, finishing and topping sauces made from family recipes handed down for generations.

The showroom at Redmond-based Rocky Mountain Products features displays of numerous award-winning sauces, including a giant bottle of apricot-flavored barbecue sauce that won a first-place award from the National Barbecue Association.

Poisoned workers say Apple hasn’t responded SUZHOU, China — Last week, when Apple released its annual review of labor conditions at its global suppliers, one startling revelation stood out: 137 workers at a factory here had been seriously injured by a toxic chemical used in making the signature slick glass screens of the iPhone.

Apple, describing it as a “core violation” of worker safety, said that it had ordered the contractor to stop using the chemical and to improve safety conditions at the plant. Apple also said that it would monitor the medical conditions of those workers.

But in interviews last weekend, nearly a dozen employees who say they were harmed by the chemical said they had never heard from anyone at Apple.

In 2010, for the first time in 15 years, more bank branches closed than opened across the United States. An analysis of government data shows, however, that even as banks shut branches in poorer areas, they continued to expand in wealthier ones, despite government regulations requiring financial institutions to meet the credit needs of poor and middle-class neighborhoods.

The number of bank branches

fell to 98,517 in 2010, from 99,550 the previous year, according to data compiled by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Observers express concern the vacuum will be filled by so-called predatory lenders, including check-cashing centers, payday loan providers and pawnshops.

Falling corn inventories signal Wall Street often rising worldwide grain demand slow to disclose

brokers’ misdeeds

By Jeff Wilson and Whitney McFerron Bloomberg News

CHICAGO — The smallest corn inventories in 37 years are a sign farmers around the globe are failing to produce enough grain to meet rising consumption, even as planting expands and food prices surge.

Growers from Canada to Russia boosted annual output of wheat, rice and feed grain by 16 percent since 2000, not enough to keep up with the 20 percent gain in demand, Department of Agriculture data shows. While a Bloomberg survey of 25 analysts shows the agency on Thursday may forecast a 3.5 percent increase in corn planting, the government says world stockpiles will equal 15 percent of use, the lowest since 1974.

Global inventories for all grain will drop 13 percent before the next harvest, the USDA estimates. That’s the first decline since 2007, when surging food prices sparked more than 60 riots from Haiti to Egypt. Increasing demand is causing isolated food shortages and accelerating inflation in developing countries even as it boosts farmers’ incomes and shifts planting strategies.

“We need to grow a huge crop this year to meet global food needs,” said Paul Jeschke, 58, who farms 3,600 acres near Mazon, Ill., and plans to boost corn planting by 50 percent because the crop is as much as $200 an acre more profitable than soybeans at current prices. “The increased demand for meat and dairy is driving demand for corn and soybeans.”

Rising incomes in developing countries are boosting food prices as people eat more meat and dairy products from crop-fed livestock. U.S. subsidies are fueling demand for ethanol made from grain, while droughts and floods in 2010 damaged global harvests.

Grain futures rallied this month to the highest since 2008 on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Corn surged 95 percent in the past year to $7.2025 a bushel as of Friday, wheat jumped 71 percent to $8.5575 a bushel, and soybeans advanced 44 percent to $13.81 a bushel. Rice gained 11 percent to $15.075 per 100 pounds.

Corn probably will reach a record $8 by 2012, and may touch $10 if the U.S. crop is disrupted, said Peter Sorrentino,

Wal-Mart Continued from B1 “Some of the pricing and merchandising issues in Wal-Mart ran deeper than we initially expected, and they require a response that will take time to see results,” Michael Duke, president and chief executive, said in a statement.

Store traffic also declined in the quarter and for the year.

Company executives and analysts said consumers seemed to have changed their ways during the recession, and that has persisted into the sluggish recovery.

New shopping habits, like using less credit, relying more on month-to-month cash and buying in smaller packages, have hampered Wal-Mart’s ability to climb out of the sales slump.

In addition, while consumers are still using Wal-Mart for big shopping trips, they are visiting drugstores and dollar stores for in-between purchases.

Sales overall in the U.S. fell in the quarter, by 0.5 percent to $71.1 billion. Total sales, however, rose 2.5 percent to $115.6 billion.

Including its U.S., international and Sam’s Club divisions, Wal-Mart earned $5.02 billion, or $1.41 a share, from continuing operations compared with $4.82 billion or $1.26 a share, in the fourth quarter a year ago.

For the 2011 fiscal year, earnings rose 6.3 percent to $15.4 billion.

Wal-Mart continues to manage expenses aggressively, and excluding one-time items, earnings were $1.34 a share, which beat analyst estimates by 3 cents.

William Simon, who was promoted in the summer to oversee Wal-Mart’s business in the United States, suggested the general merchandise category — which includes items like apparel, hardware or seasonal items, and excludes food — could take a long time to improve.

Dried corn husks are piled in a field also used to grow wheat that has been dried up by drought in China, where the government will spend $1.96 billion to bolster grain production and fight drought.

More grain required as meat demand grows CHICAGO — China, the world’s largest pork consumer, boosted demand for the meat by 30 percent since 2000 to an estimated 51.59 million tons this year, while beef consumption increased 6.7 percent, according to data compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation in Denver.

More grain is needed in China as livestock, dairy and poultry production shifts from small, family-owned farms with pastures to bigger, moreefficient industrial operations that feed animals mostly corn or soybean meal, according to Sterling Liddell, a vice president at Rabo Agrifinance, a U.S. unit of Utrecht, Netherlands-based Rabobank Nederland, the world’s largest farm lender.

About 7 pounds of corn is needed to produce 1 pound of beef, and it takes 4 pounds of the grain to get a pound of pork, according to Perry Vieth, the president of Granger, Ind.-

who helps manage $14.4 billion at Huntington Asset Advisors.

Goldman Sachs said on Feb. 10 that soybeans will rise the most, forecasting a 16 percent increase

these before we get into the general-merchandise-rich fourth quarter,” Simon said, according to prepared remarks.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the problems stemmed from several areas. Toy sales were down in U.S. stores, though Wal-Mart had aggressively promoted prices and added back toys to its aisles. Apparel continued to be a problem.

And in consumables — basics like toilet paper and soap — Wal-Mart said its prices and sizes were a problem for shoppers who continued to be on tight budgets.

Customers’ use of government assistance programs to pay for Wal-Mart American goods rose about 0.5 percent from the fourth quarter last year. About 80 percent of payments are still made with some form of cash (including debit cards), while the use of credit cards dropped from the year-earlier period.

Revised spending habits contributed to the decline in traffic, Charles M. Holley Jr., executive vice president and chief financial officer, said in a call with reporters.

“It’s not a case that we’re not correctly priced,” Holley said.

For example, he said Wal-Mart’s price-per-ounce for laundry detergent was usually lower than competitors’, but competitors like dollar stores often sold smaller bottles or boxes that were cheaper.

“Some of our customers at the end of the month may have only a fixed amount left,” he said, “and even if it’s more per ounce, if the price point is more attractive at a competitor, at the end of the month that’s all they can spend.”

“That’s something we’re addressing right now,” he said.

Also, he said, “we lost some of what we call the fill-in trip. People were still coming to the store to do their big shopping trip, but when they needed bread, milk, detergent quickly, we did lose some of that.”

based Ceres Partners, an investment fund that has bought and manages about 15,000 acres of farmland in four Midwest states.

U.S. beef exports jumped to $4.08 billion in 2010, surpassing a record set in 2003 before an outbreak of mad cow disease led to import bans by countries including Japan and South Korea, according to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board in Centennial, Colo.

“As developing economies expand and the middle class becomes larger, their logical step is to improve their diets,” said Bill Lapp, a former chief economist at ConAgra Foods Inc. who is president of Advanced Economic Solutions in Omaha, Neb. “A significant share of that improvement is not simply more calories, but a better diet that comes from more protein and dairy consumption.”

Apple Continued from B1 Instead, they said the contractor — a Taiwanese-owned company called Wintek — had pressed them and many other affected workers to resign and accept cash settlements that would absolve the factory of future liability, charges the company denied.

“We hope Apple will heed to its corporate social responsibility,” said Jia Jingchuan, 27. He said exposure at the Wintek plant to the chemical, known as n-hexane, had left him with nerve damage and made him so hypersensitive to cold that he now must wear down-insulated clothing even indoors. “Usually someone my age doesn’t wear this type of pants,” he said, raising his voice. “Only 50- or 60year-old men wear something like this.”

On Monday, however, a Wintek spokesman denied that the company was pressing workers to resign or sign papers absolving the company of future liability.

The company said it was working with medical professionals to assess the health of workers. Jay Huang, the spokesman, even suggested that Wintek would pay for medical care should the symptoms persist after workers resign.

“People have to eat, and we have a backdrop of falling stockpiles,” Sorrentino said by telephone from Cincinnati. “Even if we have a great harvest, we’ll just be getting back to levels people can be comfortable with in terms of stockpiles. The trend is going to be for increasing prices for years to come.”

The rally is encouraging farmers to plant more this year. The USDA, at its annual Agricultural Outlook Forum on Thursday in Arlington, Va., probably will forecast an increase in U.S. corn planting to 91.281 million acres from 88.192 million, according to the average estimate in the Bloomberg News survey.

Soybean planting may be little changed at 77.274 million acres, the survey showed.

“Corn supplies are going to be extremely tight this year,” said Loyd Brown, the president of Hertz Farm Management Inc. in Nevada, Iowa, who helps manage about 500,000 acres in nine Midwest states. “When you consider that U.S. farmers harvested the third-largest crop last year, that means this is a demand market.

You have to be bullish on agriculture. Global economic growth is driving demand for improved diets, and rising populations continue to boost exports.”

in Cupertino, Calif., declined to discuss the Wintek case but said the company was committed to the highest standards of social responsibility in its supply chain. “We require our suppliers to provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect and use environmentally friendly manufacturing processes whenever our products are made,” she said.

The Wintek injuries underscore the challenges Apple faces in trying to source goods from China, which dominates electronics manufacturing with low-cost labor and highly efficient factories that often operate around the clock.

In its report, Apple said n-hexane was no longer being used at the Suzhou factory and that Wintek had repaired its ventilation system.

But difficulties remain for some workers. One of the injured Wintek workers who agreed to be interviewed Sunday, Yao Xiaoping, a 22-year-old migrant worker from Shaanxi province, in the west, said he had already left the factory and had accepted compensation of about $12,000 but now feared for his future because of the nhexane poisoning that he said had left him with sweaty palms and weak limbs.

“I went back to my village but everyone knows what happened to me,” he said, fighting back tears. “So it has made it difficult for me to find a wife there.”

Driving his black MercedesBenz over the Fourth of July weekend, a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney broker, Martin Joel Erzinger, hit a cyclist, leaving the rider seriously injured on the side of the road.

Not long after, police found Erzinger in the parking lot of an abandoned Pizza Hut, removing the side mirror and bumper from his car, according to court documents. Erzinger told officers he didn’t remember striking anybody.

Erzinger was charged with a felony over the summer and pleaded guilty to two lesser misdemeanor charges in December. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, which was supposed to tell regulators within 30 days of the initial charges, took months to report the incident.

Now the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street’s self-policing organization, is looking at whether the brokerage firm violated securities laws by not disclosing the charges in a timely fashion.

“FINRA is investigating the matter,” said Nancy Condon, a spokeswoman for the regulator. “There are serious questions about whether the reporting obligations were met.”

The case casts a light on a persistent problem: the failure of financial firms to properly report infractions to FINRA’s central database, a critical tool

that large and small investors rely on to vet stockbrokers and other financial professionals.

“It’s really no different than if you’re talking to a doctor,” said Charles Rotblut, a longtime investor and a vice president of the American Association of Individual Investors.

“You have to trust who you’re working with.”

For its part, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney says it followed the correct procedures regarding Erzinger, disclosing the matter once the related court documents became available.

The reporting requirement, said Jim Wiggins, a spokesman for the firm, was met in “an accurate and timely manner.”

Erzinger’s lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.

FINRA, however, depends on Wall Street to update the records — and dozens of new cases show that the information is sometimes missing, out of date or erroneous. Any deficiencies can deprive individuals and institutions of crucial details they need to properly assess financial professionals before hiring them. This selfreporting system soon faces another test. Policymakers are considering whether to expand the responsibilities of FINRA, giving it oversight of tens of thousands of investment advisers, on top of the 600,000plus brokers already under its purview. The situation will only put additional pressure on FINRA’s system.

Amazon launches subscription service for streaming video

By Ben Fritz Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Amazon. com has launched its longawaited subscription videostreaming service, setting itself up to be the first serious rival to fast-growing Netflix.

The online retail giant on Tuesday began offering U.S. subscribers to its $79-per-year Amazon Prime shipping service the additional benefit of access to 5,000 movies and television shows that can be streamed at no additional cost on computers and certain other Internet-connected devices.

Amazon has signed up two major studios, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. — to provide older movies from their libraries — along with 13 independent providers including the BBC, PBS, Magnolia Pictures, IFC and National Geographic.

The eclectic mix of content immediately available includes the movies “Hairspray,” “The Human Centipede” and “Stripes” and the TV shows “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” “Bonanza” and “Farscape.”

The service offers only a fraction of the content available to subscribers of Netflix, which has deals with every major film studio and a number of TV producers. Moreover, though most of Amazon Prime’s content is more than a decade old, Netflix has much fresher titles, including movies less than a year old, thanks to deals with pay cable networks Starz and Epix.

Amazon, however, is in talks with every Hollywood studio and is said by people familiar with the matter to be seeking to grow its content selection with more and newer content.

A W Restless employees Couple challenged by job loss say support strengthens bonds a threat to business

Companies starting to focus on retention as economy improves

By Darrell Smith McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The economy still has a long climb to reach recovery in 2011, but some employers already are considering how to retain the talent they have even as they struggle with layoffs or cautiously look to add new staff.

Recruiters say that will become even more important as the economy improves.

“Retention will be huge, and companies maybe are not paying attention to that because they’re so focused on the bottom line,” said Amelya Stevenson, president of the Sacramento Human Resource Association.

“People have been extremely thankful that they’ve had a job, but now that things are blowing over, employers need to tell their employees — out loud — that they are thankful for their service,” said Kim Parker, executive vice president of the California Employers Association.

Employees are reading the news and seeing their employers’ improving fortunes, said local market researcher Rick Reed.

They have survived the downturn with its budget cuts, wage freezes and layoffs and want to be rewarded for their perseverance.

“Exports are up in California, and the U.S. banks are making record profits. Stocks are above 12,000. Employees are asking, ‘When does that reach the street?’ ” said Reed.

Valued workers Employers are starting to hear the message. Average hourly earnings rose by 8 cents in January or $3.20 over a 40-hour workweek, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, while wages have risen by nearly 2 percent over the past year.

Parker, of the California Employers Association, said she’s hearing from employers who are lifting wage freezes, restor-

“Exports are up in California, and the U.S. banks are making record profits. Stocks are above 12,000.

Employees are asking, ‘When does that reach the street?’ ” — Rick Reed, market researcher ing 401(k) retirement matching funds and resurrecting training programs.

“The doors are opening for training. Employees feel valued when companies invest in professional development,” she said.

In an encouraging sign, Parker said her office is getting more requests for salary surveys as employers try to gauge what wages competitors are paying their workers.

Still, in a volatile job market, employees may be looking for new opportunities, particularly in the information technology sector.

Online tech job postings are on the rise, but salaries remain largely flat. Workers are caught in what tech careers website Dice. com calls an “infinite loop” of stagnant wages, even as demand for their skills grows.

“Turnover is likely going to increase in 2011. Tech workers are looking for more at this point,” said Tom Silver, a Dice.com senior vice president. About 40 percent of workers surveyed by Dice. com believe they can make more money if they switch firms in 2011.

“Retention needs to be something employers think about,” said Kimberly Stiener-Murphy, a Sacramento manager for employment firm Robert Half International. “The employee ... is going to be open to opportunity. Jobs

are growing and people are going to keep their eyes open.”

Perks and beyond Retention perks take many forms, and they often go beyond money.

At the small Sacramento insurance firm Rood & Dax, employees can take a quiet moment in a meditation room, can order chair massages and are rewarded for volunteering in their communities.

Employees’ ideas are also put into action on everything from projects and work improvements to the company’s wellness program.

“We give employees ownership in the organization. They come up with ideas on how to improve,” said Laurie Rood, who, with broker-consultant Gayle DaxConroy, heads the firm. “There’s nothing worse for an employee than to have a good idea and not have it acknowledged.”

In the massive University of California-Davis Health System, officials know that health care is “a healthy industry for jobs,” said chief patient care services officer Carol Robinson. “There will always be a demand for health professionals, and that will only increase.”

Because the sector is so dynamic, employee recognition, tracking staff satisfaction, and training and development programs play a large role in UC-Davis’ retention efforts, Robinson said.

Career development programs allow nurses and others to train and work with a mentor in different departments for specified periods.

“It gives you the possibility to move around — take classes and learn new skills,” said Carolyn Cords, a registered nurse in UCDavis Medical Center’s Trauma Nursing Unit. Before the program, “it was, ‘You’re an (operating room) nurse.’ That’s it. That’s all. Now, you’re empowered to move on and try other areas.”

The four F’s of rebuilding trust

By Diane Stafford McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Face it. Frame it. Forgive it. Forget it.

Those are glib prescriptions for mending broken trust in toxic workplaces.

It’s no secret that a recession, a credit and housing market collapse, job cuts, stagnant wages and management malfeasance have made many workplaces difficult places.

Surveys repeatedly find that workers are disengaged, distrustful of management and looking to jump ship.

But, somehow, someway, healing must begin.

I recently revisited research by experts in workplace relationships. If you want advice from the masters, delve into: • “The 7 Hidden Reasons Em-

ployees Leave” and “Keeping the People Who Keep You in Business” by Leigh Branham.

• “Love ’Em or Lose ’Em” and “Love It, Don’t Leave It” by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans.

• “Care Packages for the Workplace” by Barbara Glanz.

• “Rebuilding Trust in the Workplace” by Dennis and Michelle Reina.

These aren’t glib how-tos that pretend a birthday cake or company picnic will cure what ails many workplaces. They analyze causes and consequences of eroded trust.

That said, here’s an attempt to lasso the problem with the four F’s atop this column.

The first two are directed at owners and managers.

• Face the fact that bad things happened (layoffs, pay cuts, etc.)

to good people and that many are hurting.

• Frame the issue. Share as much information as possible with the staff to explain why the negatives occurred and where the organization intends to go from here.

The next two F’s are for employees.

• Assuming the negatives are explained, forgive to the extent possible. That doesn’t mean overlooking crimes or utter stupidity.

It means accepting the reasons why bad moves happened.

• The final F is a bit too facile.

The bad stuff can’t and shouldn’t be forgotten. But every attempt needs to be made not to dwell on it, not to rehash the bad times at every opportunity, but to move on.

Easy? No. Necessary? Yes.

MIAMI — It is lunchtime, and Esther Castiglia has zipped home from her office at a nearby bank to eat with her husband, Buster. Over leftover lasagna, she will ask Buster about the interview he was hoping to line up or new online postings he has answered.

It’s been a year since Buster lost his job, 37 years since he first became a banker and 43 years since he married Esther.

He is one of the real faces behind the national unemployment rate, now at 9 percent.

“In the last year,” Esther said, “our marriage has been put to a test and we have survived.”

Job and income loss are strongly associated with increases in marital conflict.

But those thoughts have never entered the Castiglia home.

Like most spouses of the unemployed, Esther has felt the gamut of emotions and believes in the power of marital support.

“Initially, you feel pain for the person you love,” she said. “Then you get angry. I see others doing a job and know he could do better.” At times she has cried; at times she has snapped at him.

Frequently, she feels the burden of keeping him positive.

For his part, Buster was humbled. “It was the first time I had to rely on her for emotional and career advice,” he said.

Family psychologist Martha Jacobson says such emotions are common. “This is the most personal type of stress we see universally.” The key for a spouse to keep the relationship intact, she said, is to be a sounding board, but to ensure the one who is out of work has someone else to offer guidance, too.

Buster, 67, had worked his way to the top in South Florida

banking, most recently holding a position as executive vice president of the retail division at Intercredit Bank. He watched as the real estate market soured and loans went bad, and he knew downsizing was inevitable: “I was one of the highly paid executives, so I was among the first to go,” Buster said.

One of his first moves was to a local career center, where a counselor advised him to sharpen his computer skills, offering him federal stimulus money to pay for it. He took 300 hours of Microsoft training over eight months, mastering PowerPoint and Excel. At the same time, he continued calling banking buddies about openings, answering classifieds and seeking advice from recruiters and community leaders.

Shortly after Buster lost his job, the Castiglias agreed to put their Coral Gables, Fla., home on the market and move to a smaller property, calling it “a proactive step.” Buster said careful financial planning has at least kept their financial hardship to a minimum. “I haven’t worked in a year, but I am able to pay my bills.”

Staying upbeat Reluctantly, Buster admits his age makes his search more complicated. “You have to have confidence in your ability and persevere. It doesn’t mean there aren’t people my age who don’t take care of themselves, but that’s not my case. I’m in good health. I’m accustomed to putting in a 10-hour day, and I convey that to any potential employer.”

Career expert Thomas Shea, CEO of staffing consultancy Right Management Florida/ Caribbean Region, doesn’t dis-

pute age can be an issue in a job search. But he says Buster and any other applicant can get hired if they market themselves as a solution to an employer’s problem, show that they embrace technology and make it clear they can function at the pace required to get the job done.

To remain upbeat, he said, it is important for any job seeker to keep the search as a job, rather than letting it take over your entire life.

As the search drags on, Esther says she pushes Buster to go to the movies and attend their adult son’s music performances. Recently she took him on a weekend cruise. “At times, I get little depressed and upset. But you have to take that energy and change it to take positive steps,” she said.

On a positive note, the Castiglias are expecting their first grandchild in five months.

Recently, the Coral Gables bank where Esther works was taken over by regulators. Just shy of 65, Esther, a breast cancer survivor, prays that she will keep her position and her insurance.

Regardless, the two say they have each other for strength and find their bond in the last year has become even stronger. “It may not take a village to survive the downsizing of a company,” Esther said, “but it does take a loving partner.”

apricot, a medium spicy sauce and a habanero hot sauce.

“I wanted to create a product everybody could use, no matter what health issues they are dealing with,” Stirling said.

Since 2005 Stirling has contracted with Chef George Inc. kitchen and processing plant near Portland to produce and bottle his sauces.

“My sales have gone from around $10,000 a year working part-time to over $45,000 last year working at it full-time,” Stirling said.

In Central Oregon and other areas around the Pacific Northwest, Oregon Dan’s BBQ sauces are sold at Whole Foods, Ray’s Westside Market, Ginger’s Kitchen Store in Bend, the Thriftway grocery store in Terrebonne and several other outlets, Stirling said.

After several years of putting on cooking demonstrations and doing in-store taste tests to build up a customer following for his sauces, Stirling said he finally got a big break earlier this month when Seattle-based food distributor J.C. Wright agreed to distribute his sauces in the Seattle area and throughout Washington and Northwest Oregon, including the Portland metro area.

Stirling said his sauces are excellent for stir fry, scrambled eggs, dips and other uses, which are featured in recipes listed on his website at www.oregondans .com.

Continued from B1 “Bend is diversifying. People are coming here from different parts of the country, different parts of the world and different cultures. That has created an opportunity for everyone to explore different tastes,” Goodew said.

That has created an opportunity for sauce makers to branch out and try new flavors and combinations of ingredients beyond the traditional ketchup- and barbecue-flavored sauces.

“People want something different. People are tired of the same old thing,” Goodew said.

“In today’s sauce business, if you don’t create something new and exciting, you are going to be history.”

Oregon Dan’s Two newcomers to the Central Oregon sauce business are Dan Stirling, founder and owner of Redmond-based Oregon Dan’s, and Bend-based Barcelona Finishing Sauces, which opened a new headquarters earlier this month in Northwest Crossing.

Stirling gave up his job as a power company lineman to start Oregon Dan’s, a company that makes barbecue sauces with a distinctly Oregon twist.

Stirling said his company has been producing and marketing what he describes as all natural, healthy sauces commercially since 2005.

His sauces, which are sweetened with agave nectar instead of sugar and thickened with gluten-free corn starch derived from maize, have been featured on radio programs including “Cooking with Julia.”

“Barbecue sauces have a bad rap for being unhealthy, but my sauces are healthy for you,” Stirling said. “They are low in sodium, low in sugar, with natural ingredients — no preservatives, no artificial ingredients.”

Stirling said with diabetes being so rampant, he wanted to develop good-tasting sauces “that don’t have a lot of sugar and other gunk in it.”

“I use agave because it is a low-glycemic product,” he said.

Oregon Dan’s sauces range from his original sauce, which contains bits of pineapple, to barbecue sauces with bits of

Barcelona Finishing Sauces Barcelona Finishing Sauces, founded by Enrique Riquelme, Roberto Riquelme and Mario Huerta, is another newcomer to Central Oregon’s world of sauces, featuring gourmet red, green and mole cooking, finishing and topping sauces, as well as several seasonal varieties such as pumpkinseed pipian and an almond sauce.

“It is a family effort with family recipes,” said Roberto Riquelme. “Our sauces are excellent for a variety of dishes, and can be used as marinades, slow cooking sauces, topping sauces on top of grilled or cooked meats.”

Riquelme said all of the family’s sauces are vegetarian, made with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, tomatillos, almonds,

cinnamon and others that are all gluten-free.

On Feb. 2, Barcelona Finishing Sauces announced a move from a licensed kitchen in Huerta’s home in Bend into new headquarters at NorthWest Crossing on Bend’s west side. The company also added two new staffers, including Lillian Carrillo, who will oversee the kitchen staff, and Vicki Pennock, the new office manager.

The new office, at 2789 Clearwater Drive Suite 100, includes an office area and a kitchen where the sauces are prepared.

Barcelona Finishing Sauces are available locally at Whole Foods, Newport Avenue Market, Ray’s Riverside Market, Cafe Sintra and the Astro Lounge.

“We started our business about a year ago, but we have been developing the recipes for many years, and our family has been in Bend for 20 years,” Riquelme said.

Continued from B1 The 20-city Case-Shiller composite is already off 31.2 percent from its peak, according to data released Tuesday. Average home prices in Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas and Detroit are below the levels of 11 years ago.

A drop the size that Shiller says he thinks could happen would put Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte and Minneapolis there, too. It would create a lost decade for housing in much of the country even before the effects of inflation.

Banks Continued from B1 The most recent wave of closures gathered steam after the financial crisis in 2008, as banks of all sizes staggered under the weight of bad home loans. In some cases, banks with heavy exposure to risky mortgage debt simply cut branches as part of a broader restructuring. In other cases, banking companies merged and closed branches to consolidate.

Whatever the cause, there were sharp disparities in how the closures played out from 2008 to 2010, according to a detailed analysis by The New York Times of data from SNL Financial, an information provider for the banking industry. Using data culled from the FDIC and ESRI, a private geographic information firm, SNL matched up the location of closed branches with census data from the surrounding neighborhood.

In low-income areas, where the median household income was below $25,000, and in moderate-income areas, where the medium household income was between $25,000 and $50,000, the number of branches declined by 396 between 2008 and 2010. In neighborhoods where household income was above $100,000, by contrast, 82

Changing tastes Goodew said his honey bourbon sauce was one of the first in the nation to be labeled as a bourbon sauce, well ahead of other bourbon sauces marketed by national brands like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.

He said tastes change, and people are always looking for new flavors.

“Five years ago, barbecue sauce was my hottest seller, but now I do a lot of sales in hot wings sauces — and it’s gone from hot to hotter to inferno,” Goodew said.

Some of his newest creations include a Napa Valley sauce called Vintage 10 made with grape skins, and a pair of sauces that carry on his longtime use of Oregon fruit ingredients, including one he calls Three Berry Inferno sauce for those who like fruit flavor with a kick; and a three-berry chipotle sauce he said is being perfected for release this spring.

Shiller’s colleague, the economist Karl Case, a professor emeritus of economics at Wellesley College, says he does not think the outlook is so dire.

He said in the conference call on Tuesday that he thought the housing market was at “a rocky bottom with a down trend.”

The S&P/Case-Shiller index of 20 large metropolitan areas fell 1 percent in December from November, although the drop was just 0.4 percent when the data was adjusted for seasonal variations. Eleven cities in the index posted their lowest levels in December since home price peaks in 2006 and 2007, up from

branches were added during the same period.

“You don’t have to be a statistician to see that there’s a dual financial system in America, one for essentially middle- and highincome consumers, and another one for the people that can least afford it,” said John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a group that advocates for expanding financial services in underserved communities.

“In those neighborhoods, you won’t see bank branches,” he added. “You’ll see buildings that used to be banks, surrounded by payday lenders and check cashers that cropped up.”

Wayne Abernathy, an executive vice president of the American Bankers Association, disputed Taylor’s conclusion, as well as the significance of the data.

“You need to look at the context,” he said. “We’re looking at a pool of more than 95,000 branches, and we’ve had several hundred banks fail, so what would be surprising is if no branches had closed.”

Even as more customers turn to online banking, said Kathleen Engel, a law professor at Suffolk University in Boston, the presence of brick-and-mortar branches encourages “a culture of savings,” beginning with passbook accounts for children

and visits to the local bank.

“If we lose branch banking in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, banks stop being central to the culture in those communities,” said Engel, author of a new book, “The Subprime Virus: Reckless Credit, Regulatory Failure and Next Steps.”

Among individual financial institutions, especially those hit hard by the mortgage mess, the differences between rich and poor communities were especially marked.

Regions Financial, based in Birmingham, Ala., had 107 fewer branches serving low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in 2010 than it did in 2008. The company, which has yet to repay $3.5 billion in federal bailout money, shuttered just one branch in a high-income neighborhood, according to SNL Financial.

A similar trend is evident at some larger institutions as well. Bank of America closed 25 branches in moderate-income areas, while it opened 14 in the richest census tracts, according to the SNL data. Citigroup, whose branch network is considerably smaller than Bank of America’s, closed two branches in the poorest areas and opened three in the wealthiest.

nine cities in November. Phoenix and New York joined a list that includes Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle.

The only city in the index that posted a monthly gain on an unadjusted basis was Washington. Five cities posted a gain on an adjusted basis.

One data point that favored Case’s optimism: The adjusted declines in December and November were about half the drops in the previous two months, indicating the slide might be slowing.

Most analysts seem to fall between Shiller and Case in their forecasts.

BRUSSELS — Google faced new accusations Tuesday that it was blocking a smaller European search service by restricting the use of its powerful system for attracting advertisers.

A French company, 1plusV, which owns Ejustice.fr, one of three European companies

that have already filed charges against Google, said it sent a supplementary complaint to the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union.

The commission began a formal antitrust investigation of Google three months ago looking for evidence that Google had the power to shut out competi-

tion, and to restrict advertisers from doing business with other search engines.

Al Verney, a spokesman for Google, said it was continuing to work “closely with the European Commission to explain many different parts of our business.”

He declined to comment on the specific allegations by 1plusV.

LETHAL CRASH

Would a gas tax have been better?

Bend officials say increase would have benefited projects more than bond

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

If Bend city councilors had the choice, they likely would have preferred to pay for street improvements with a local gas tax rather than the $30 million

bond initiative they’re currently pursuing.

The problem is the city can’t implement a local gas tax until 2014 because of a provision in the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act, which passed in 2009.

That law, which increased fuel prices across the state by 6 cents per gallon on Jan. 1, prevents any city, county or other local jurisdiction from creating its own gas taxes until Jan. 2, 2014.

For a number of reasons, the city chose not to put the tax on the ballot when it had the opportunity. Councilors wanted to avoid a special election, and some didn’t think it was right to

seek a tax hike during an economic downturn.

Now, Bend can’t afford many of the road projects it would like to complete to handle traffic growth. In addition, the city has an estimated $18 million in deferred street maintenance, a figure that grows each year.

City officials say the $30 million bond measure will help with some of the problem roads, but

added it won’t help the city catch up on its lagging street maintenance program the way a gas tax would.

Many councilors also believe a gas tax would have raised money more equitably.

A city gas tax would force everyone who drives on local streets to pay for improvements and maintenance.

Students rolling up their sleeves

Madras resident Andrea Orozco has been charged with four traffic violations for her involvement in a crash that killed a Metolius man in November.

Meanwhile, a grand jury continues to decide if she will face criminal charges.

Orozco, 28, will face charges of careless driving leading to an accident, failure to obey traffic controls, driving while uninsured and driving while her license is suspended. Orozco was charged with the violations Feb. 16 and is scheduled to be arraigned at 8:15 a.m. March 4 in Jefferson County Court.

According to the Oregon Judicial Information Network, Orozco has been cited by police on eight occasions over the course of four years in Jefferson, Crook and Clackamas counties for offenses including speeding, failing to drive within her lane and failure to use a seat belt.

She has been cited for driving with a suspended license four times before.

The new charges stem from a fatal crash near Culver on the night of Nov. 21.

Police said Orozco was driving a Ford Expedition with eight passengers, six of whom were children ranging in age from 2 to 14, when she ran a stop sign and collided with a Toyota four-door near Culver.

Administrators at Mountain View Hospital in Madras are hoping a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program will allow them to break ground on a new building by the end of

SALEM — Aaron Hofferber, president of the Central Oregon Home brewers Organization, has set an April date for his club’s home brew competition. It’s an optimistic move, he admits, because before it can happen, state law has to change.

His optimism may be rewarded.

On Monday, Oregon’s senaIN THE tors voted LEGISLATURE unanimously to change the law. The revision would allow unlicensed wine makers and home brewers to pack their goods in their cars and participate in tasting competitions at fairs and elsewhere.

Last summer, the state’s alcohol regulatory agency, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, asked the Oregon Department of Justice for an opinion on a long-ignored statute that would allow homemade beverages to be consumed only in the places where they were made. The DOJ weighed in, reaffirming that home brewers needed to keep their products at home. Across the state, county fair competitions that judge homemade beer and wine were cancelled, and events like Hofferber’s were postponed.

SB 444, which passed Monday, now goes to the House, where it has not yet received a committee assignment.

this year.

The hospital will seek additional backing for almost $36 million in bonds through HUD’s 242 Program, which is designed to lower financing costs for the renovation and construction of medical facilities. The federal backing provided by the 242 Program improves

the creditworthiness of hospital bonds, making projects like the one contemplated in Madras more feasible.

The plan for the hospital is to replace the clinical buildings and construct a facility of approximately 60,000 square feet. It also calls for the demolition of 30,000

square feet of the current facility and renovation of the remaining 50,000 square feet. The project would bring the hospital to a total size of somewhere around 110,000 square feet.

“This is a building that will take us into the future,” said Joe Smith, interim CEO of the hospi-

tal. “This is a complete replacement hospital for the current inpatient hospital.”

The new building will house surgery rooms, emergency areas, the imaging department and other clinical operations, Smith said.

Gas tax Continued from C1 The $30 million bond measure, on the other hand, would be paid only by Bend property owners, who would contribute 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

A gas tax would also have been better than a transportation utility fee, they say, because the tax, like the bond measure, would require a vote of the people. City councilors may impose utility fees without voter approval, and these, like property taxes, would be paid only by city residents. “My view is, we know what shape the roads are in, so I would definitely support putting (a gas tax) on the ballot to see if the public would want to raise the funds to support the roads,� Councilor Tom Green said. “I think we should have explored it before, especially facing this deficit in the general fund that we’re looking at for the next several years.�

Bend is projecting a $17 million to $27 million shortfall in its general fund over the next five years. In addition to paying for a majority of police and fire services, the general fund gives about $1.1 million a year to street operations, meaning roads will have to balanced with other needs as councilors decide how to close the budget gap.

Not all councilors are convinced a gas tax is an appropriate tool. In particular, Mayor Jeff Eager and Councilor Scott Ramsay have said the city needs to focus on cost-cutting measures before asking people to pay more taxes.

C OV ER S T OR I ES “My view is we know what shape the roads are in, so I would definitely support putting (a gas tax) on the ballot to see if the public would want to raise the funds to support the roads. I think we should have explored it before, especially facing this deficit in the general fund that we’re looking at for the next several years.� — Tom Green, Bend city councilor

While Eager said it makes more sense to charge the people who are actually driving on the roads for their impacts, he noted in an e-mail that the city needs to focus on cutting some of its spending, particularly its personnel costs.

Tax failed in 1992 “That problem, and not a lack of revenue, is the true issue underlying most of the city’s budget issues, including its lack of funding for street maintenance,� Eager wrote. “Until the city gets its own house in order with regard to how it spends the revenue it currently receives, I’m reticent to ask the voters for

more money for operations.�

Bend asked voters to pass a local gas tax in 1992. It would have charged motorists 2 cents per gallon of fuel, and the revenue would have gone toward street improvements. That measure failed.

When the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act was passed in 2009, Bend city councilors considered holding a special election to implement a local gas tax before the moratorium was installed, but decided against it.

Redmond, Madras and Sisters pursued local gas taxes at that time. Only Sisters succeeded, but that 3-cent-per-gallon tax is now being challenged in the Oregon Court of Appeals by the Oregon Petroleum Association.

Tom Healy, the owner of the Expressway gas station on Southeast Reed Market Road, said he would have a problem with the city implementing a local gas tax because it’s something he has to pass on to his consumers.

He also thinks the city could find more places to cut before pursuing a new tax, saying that it’s something the private sector has already gone through as a part of the recession. “I think they’re going to have to look a little deeper than adding a new tax,� Healy said. “It’s very hard on the consumers to have that tax implemented when gas prices are so high. ... Three cents can make a big difference in this world.�

Finding their rhythm Local musician teaches Bear Creek third-graders the art of drumming

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

For two weeks every year, the school hallways of Bear Creek Elementary are filled with a consistent pounding.

Students at the school know that the noise isn’t from construction or school improvement efforts. They know that the thundering sounds emanating from the school’s music room signal something they’ve been waiting for all year: the return of drummer Dale Largent.

“The first question a lot of them ask me on the first day of school is, ‘When is Dale gonna visit this year?’ ” said music teacher Stefanie Janin. “They really look forward to it.”

On Feb. 8, third-grade students at Bear Creek Elementary in Bend participated in their third session of drumming with artistin-resident Largent. He has visited the school for the past four years, spending two weeks each year teaching students about drumming and music.

“Drumming is a great access point to music for kids,” Largent said. “It’s instantly successful.

Plus, it’s fun and rewarding.”

Largent is a local musician and member of the Moon Mountain Ramblers band. While teaching students in every grade level how to read music and play the drums, Largent stresses that drumming is more than just a way to music.

“This kind of activity helps develop brain development and dexterity, and helps students with their math skills,” Largent said. “It also enhances cognitive development.”

Highlight of the year Janin says Largent’s annual two-week visit has, for many students, become a highlight of the school year at Bear Creek.

The third-graders’ session started with students filing into the classroom and taking their seats around the drumming circle. Some students played individual drums while others shared larger ones. Each student was given a white board and a marker.

“You always learn a bunch of new stuff, like about notes,” said Guliana Cano, 8, of the drum-

— Dale Largent, musician and instructor ming class. “And you can get to play all these different kinds of drums with your hands and with drumsticks. It’s pretty cool.”

Largent sat in the middle of the floor and pounded out a rhythm on his drum. Afterward, he instructed students to transcribe the rhythm using music notes on the dry erase boards. Many students peered down, trying to figure out how to translate the sounds into writing.

“Try and put words to what you hear, and then write it down,” Janin reminded students, telling them that the note types were easier to identify if students sounded them out, using words like “apple pie” or “huckleberry pie.”

“I like that we’re learning how to read notes,” said Jeremy Allen, 9. “I like learning new things.”

Once students completed writing out the rhythms, Largent circled the room, looking over their efforts. He pointed to one student’s whiteboard.

“You were even thoughtful

enough to put a repeat sign,” said Largent. The student’s face lit up at getting the rhythm right.

Students then got to practice their own drumming and sheetreading skills. Following the sheet music in front of them, students rhythmically pounded their drums to a song called “El Martes la Sexta.”

Largent helped some students follow the rhythm by picking up a drumstick and drumming along with them on their individual instruments.

Example of an artist “Good job fixing that,” he said after the group corrected its rhythm.

“It’s really nice for them to see a normal person in our community who is a real artist,” said Janin. “Dale’s so highly skilled and down to earth, and they’re really able to relate to him.”

“You learn new stuff every time,” said Danitza Vasquez, 8.

Education cuts impacting nearly every state

By Tim Hoover The Denver Post

DENVER — In Arizona, budget cuts to K-12 education last year eliminated state funding for full-day kindergarten and reduced money for textbooks, technology and other teaching tools.

“It’s bad all over,” said Mike Griffith, senior policy analyst for the Education Commission of the States, an organization that advises states on education policy.

“You have a handful of states like Wyoming — well, really, only Wyoming — that is doing OK,” Griffith said. “They’re not

increasing their budget, but at least they’re not making cuts.”

According to officials at Education Sector, a nonpartisan education policy think tank, 44 states and the District of Columbia project an aggregate shortfall of $125 billion for the 2011-12 fiscal year that begins in July.

The reasons are pretty much the same in every state: Flagging tax revenues combined with the loss of federal stimulus dollars and ever-increasing costs for education have resulted in 201112 being the “cliff” year for many states.

But the states’ financial woes are also forcing elected officials to consider fundamental reforms of education, if not government itself, experts said.

“What I see happening across the country is governors using the budget issues to make not just spending, but policy changes,” said Richard Lee Colvin, executive director of Education Sector.

Griffith agreed, saying there has been more discussion than ever at the state level about changes to teacher pensions and health care plans.

on all kinds of drums when we come here.”

After running through the piece several times, Largent once again tested students by playing a section of music and asking students to write it out. Students picked up their markers with more confidence the second time around as they sought to denote what they had heard.

“Remember, there are lots of ways to write music,” Largent said. “And they’re all correct.”

Janin said this particular point was one she hoped students took away from the drumming sessions.

“So much of what kids learn are absolutes — black and white, yes or no,” Janin said. “But by having programs, students get to break out of those boundaries and expand their own sense of self. And if we can help them do that, then we’re doing our job as art educators.”

Be open about business loans

B

end and Deschutes County governments may not brim over with attempts to be business friendly, but they try.

They have given nearly $69,000 in forgivable loans to

county businesses that are looking to expand or relocate.

Both governments rely on Economic Development of Central Oregon, or EDCO, to filter through applicants and determine which companies are worthy. And both the city and the county are using money for the program that they got sort of by surprise. Deschutes County has used money it got from an unfortunate, unexpected increase in foreclosures.

Bend is using money it got after an audit revealed that Cascade Natural Gas Corp. mistakenly shorted the city on franchise fees.

For the most part, councilors and commissioners are fond of the programs. The programs send a message in support of business growth. There are, though, at least two problems.

It’s not at all clear that the businesses would not have expanded anyway. It just makes it easier for the businesses to do a bit more.

Bend just approved, for instance, a loan of $6,975 for the creation of five jobs by Bend jewelry manufacturer Nashelle. It will go to the purchase of a dedicated server for Internet sales.

That’s a small slice of the total cost of the company’s expansion of more

than $175,000 — as far as we can tell from its application.

We congratulate Nashelle on its success and on recognizing the opportunity in Bend’s loan program.

What we question is the city spending public money when it arguably is not necessary. Remember, Bend does face a projected five-year, $17 million to $27 million general fund shortfall.

Every dollar will matter.

And because there is taxpayer money involved, it’s important that the companies, the governments and EDCO be forthcoming about how the loan decisions are made — which brings us to problem No. 2. Senate Bill 437 in the Oregon Legislature sets up a new exemption from public records law for applications for this type of economic development money. It’s not clear yet what will be in the final bill, but it could put taxpayers in a situation in which they end up paying and there is scant information about who is getting it and why.

There is no mustache-twirling nefarious intent in these programs, but government must be open about what it’s doing.

Protect children’s health

A

t least three times in the last four years, children of the Followers of Christ Church have either died or had their health seriously endangered by their parents. Now, Oregon lawmakers want to make religious beliefs immaterial if the parents are charged in children’s deaths.

The Followers of Christ do not believe in modern medicine. Rather, they rely on spiritual healing when their children fall ill.

The results of that faith have not been pretty.

Ava Worthington, 15 months old, died of bronchial pneumonia and a blood infection. Her parents believed faith healing would work. Raylene and Carl Brent Worthington were found not guilty of second-degree manslaughter.

Neil Jeffrey Beagley, 16, died in 2008 of kidney failure. The state’s medical examiner described his condition as treatable. His parents were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Alayna Wyland was removed from her parents’ home after they refused to have a potentially blinding growth over her eye treated. Now 13 months old, the baby is doing well and responding to treatment, according to The Oregonian newspaper. Her parents await trial on charges stemming from their refusal to take the baby to a physician.

Most of us, no doubt, believe adults have the right to seek medical treatment — or refuse it — as we wish. We

are, after all, old enough to assess the risks we take when we refuse treatment. The situation is different where underage children are concerned.

They must rely on parents to see that they’re kept healthy, fed, educated and given all the other necessities of growing up.

The law recognizes that parental responsibility in dozens of ways.

Parents who beat children or neglect children can have their kids taken from them. We expect parents to keep their children in school or to provide a satisfactory alternative for them. We expect parents to provide clothes and, rightly or not, some sense of moral direction.

Among the most basic duties we expect of parents is to keep their kids healthy. In the modern world, that means taking them to get medical treatment when they are ill.

No law can force the Followers of Christ to seek medical treatment for themselves or their children, of course.

But House Bill 2721 makes a parent’s refusal to do so for religious reasons out of bounds as a defense if things go wrong. Moreover, if parents did refuse treatment and were convicted of a serious crime after a child died, they would be subject to a mandatory Measure 11 sentence.

States rightly step carefully where religious beliefs are concerned. At the same time, states, including Oregon, have a legitimate interest in the welfare of their youngest citizens.

HB 2721 merely recognizes that second interest and makes it easier for the state to act upon it.

Austerity must be fair, equitable O DAVID ver the past few weeks, we’ve begun to see the new contours of American politics. The budget cutters have taken control of the agenda, while government’s defenders are waging tactical retreats. Given the scope of the fiscal problems, it could be like this for the next 10 or 20 years.

No place is hotter than Wisconsin.

The leaders there have done everything possible to maximize conflict. Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, demanded cuts only from people in the other party.

The public sector unions and their allies immediately flew into a rage, comparing Walker to Hitler, Mussolini and Mubarak.

Walker’s critics are amusingly Orwellian. They liken the crowd in Madison to the ones in Tunisia and claim to be fighting for democracy. Whatever you might say about Walker, he and the Republican majorities in Wisconsin were elected, and they are doing exactly what they told voters they would do. It’s the Democratic minority that is thwarting the majority will by fleeing to Illinois. It’s the left that has suddenly embraced extralegal obstructionism.

Still, let’s try to put aside the hyperventilation. Everybody now seems to agree that Walker was right to ask state workers to pay more for their benefits.

Even if he gets everything he asks for, Wisconsin state workers would still be contributing less to their benefits than the average state worker nationwide and would be contributing far, far less than private sector workers.

The more difficult question is whether Walker was right to try to water down Wisconsin’s collective bargaining agreements. Even if you acknowledge the importance of unions in representing middle-class interests, there are strong arguments on Walker’s side. In Wisconsin and elsewhere, state-union relations are structurally out of whack.

BROOKS

That’s because public sector unions and private sector unions are very different creatures. Private sector unions push against the interests of shareholders and management; public sector unions push against the interests of taxpayers. Private sector union members know that their employers could go out of business, so they have an incentive to mitigate their demands; public sector union members work for state monopolies and have no such interest.

Private sectors unions confront managers who have an incentive to push back against their demands. Public sector unions face managers who have an incentive to give into them for the sake of their own survival. Most important, public sector unions help choose those they negotiate with. Through gigantic campaign contributions and overall clout, they have enormous influence over who gets elected to bargain with them, especially in state and local races.

As a result of these imbalanced incentive structures, states with public sector unions tend to run into fiscal crises. They tend to have workplaces where personnel decisions are made on the basis of seniority, not merit. There is little relationship between excellence and reward, which leads to resentment among taxpayers who don’t have that luxury.

Yet I think Walker made a strategic error in setting up this confrontation as he did. The debt problems before us are huge. Even in Wisconsin they cannot be addressed simply by taking on

the public sector unions. Studies done in North Carolina and elsewhere suggest that collective bargaining only increases state worker salaries by about 5 or 6 percent. That’s not nearly enough to explain current deficits. There are many states without collective bargaining that still face gigantic debt crises.

Getting state and federal budgets under control will take decades. It will require varied, multipronged approaches, supported by broad and shifting coalitions. It’s really important that we establish an unwritten austerity constitution: a set of practices that will help us cut effectively now and in the future.

The foundation of this unwritten constitution has to be this principle: Make everybody hurt. The cuts have to be spread more or less equitably among as many groups as possible. There will never be public acceptance if large sectors of society are excluded. Walker’s program fails that test. It spares traditional Republican groups (even cops and firefighters). It is thus as unsustainable as the current tide of red ink.

Moreover, the constitution must emphasize transparent evaluation. Over the past weeks, Walker increased expenditures to pump up small-business job creation and cut them on teacher benefits. That might be the right choice, but if voters are going to go along with choices such as these, there is going to have to be a credible evaluation process to explain why some things are cut and some things aren’t.

I’d invite Walker and the debt fighters everywhere to think of themselves as founding fathers of austerity. They are not only balancing budgets, they are setting precedent for a process that will last decades. The process has to be balanced. It has to make everybody hurt.

Its mojo back, Egypt poised to lead region to democracy TRUDY W RUBIN CAIRO — hile rebellions are erupting all over the Middle East, it is the continuing Egyptian revolution that will determine which direction the Arab world takes.

After spending Friday in Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands of Egyptians were jubilantly celebrating the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, and talking to a broad section of people involved in his downfall, I can see how Egypt’s revolt might produce a democracy that delivers for the people. And if Egypt succeeds, the whole region would have a better chance.

The Tunisian revolt inspired Egyptians, but little Tunisia would not have ignited the entire region had the Egypt revolution faltered. Egypt, on the other hand, has 80 million people and a history that goes back 6,000 years. It has historically led the Arab world, in politics and in culture, especially with its movies, authors and singers.

Egyptians call their country “Mother of the World.” Over the last 30 years un-

der Mubarak, the country has stagnated — a narrow sliver grew rich while the economy faltered — and failed to provide jobs for the younger generation, even those with university degrees.

As many young people told me on the square, what hurt them most was not their economic plight, but the daily humiliations they suffered. Constantly at the mercy of secret police, they watched Mubarak’s cronies feed at the government trough while they earned peanuts and rigged elections prevented political change. Now, there is a rush of national pride at the fact that the Egyptian grass roots made this revolution, by itself.

As the conga lines of young men and women snaked through Tahrir Square holding huge Egyptian flags and singing, “Hold your head up, we are Egyptians,” I realized that this country has regained its mojo. Once again, the people of the region are looking to Cairo. If Egypt, whose size and human capital overshadow countries such as Yemen or Bahrain, can move toward representative government,

it would become the role model for the Arab world.

However, despite the hoopla, I did not find the organizers of this revolt — architects, doctors, journalists, engineers, lawyers by training — to be naive. They know the obstacles they face, including an economy in free fall as tourism tanks.

The military — still hugely popular — has taken control of the country, supposedly for six months. During this time, the constitution will be amended to enable fair elections; an interim president will be elected, and possibly a new parliament as well.

But in conversations in dingy office buildings, and in the square, I heard

much debate over whether six months is enough time to set up new political parties and develop civic awareness. The Mubarak regime crushed independent political life while letting Muslim Brotherhood candidates run; this permitted it to claim that the only alternative to its rule was the Islamists.

So, Egyptians must build new parties, which will take time (but they also worry that giving the military more time may encourage it to keep power).

Wael Nawara, a shrewd strategist for the small El Ghad Party (led by activist Ayman Nour), told me that holding elections before developing civic life was like “having the exam without first having the learning process.” First, he says, Egypt needs to develop political parties and free media. It also needs to encourage its citizens — who are used to taking orders from the top — to participate in political life.

Meantime, activists worry that the disgraced party of Mubarak, whose members have vast assets, may make a

comeback under another name. And the Muslim Brotherhood, already well-organized, has a head start over other new political groups.

Yet many activists echo the argument of well-known blogger Ahmad Badawy, who believes that — if the political system opens up — the Brotherhood would win only a minority of the ballots. He says the current low voter turnout will explode as motivated youths go to the polls and vote for new options. “A lot of young people are thinking of creating a party of our own or a coalition of all liberal parties,” he said.

It is this new political energy at the grass roots that makes me believe Egypt has the potential to build an electoral system in which people have real choices.

The road will be very bumpy, with inevitable setbacks. But Egypt could (with luck) become the democratic “mother” to the Arab world.

Detective who helped arrest Son of Sam killer dies at 84 New York Times News Service Edward Zigo, a seasoned New York detective who helped arrest David Berkowitz for the Son of Sam serial murders died Saturday at his home on Long Island. He was 84.

His death was confirmed by the director of the Flinch & Bruns Funeral Home. The Associated Press reported that he died of cancer.

The Son of Sam case was one of New York City’s signature crimes. Starting in July 1976, a serial killer wielding a .44-caliber Charter Arms revolver preyed on young women or couples. By the summer of 1977, the toll had reached six dead and seven injured Zigo, a homicide detective at the time, was assigned to work on the case with Detective John Falotico. Fifty detectives had already been assigned to the manhunt in a task force known as Operation Omega.

November 1, 1918 – February 15, 2011 Long-time resident of Sunriver, GEORGE RISER, passed away at his home on Tuesday, February 15, 2011, at the age of 92.

A decorated WWII Marine veteran serving in the battle of lwo Jima in 1945, George received a Purple Heart for his sustained injuries and valor. He remained dedicated to the armed services in his later years, attending Marine Corps reunions in Oregon and various locations nationally. We are proud of his service. George continued to live his life on his own terms, sometimes on the edge, but always with dignity, grace, humor and generosity.

Born in Baker City, Oregon in 1918, George spent most of life in California until moving to Sunriver 20 years ago with his wife and the love of his life, Wilda Rose Riser. Together, they became involved in community events and activities in Sunriver, including the SMART reading program, once taught at the Sunriver Preparatory School, Sunriver Community Association and the Sunriver Music Festival. They were avid supporters of the arts, and from the “early” days of the Music Festival, assisted with housing musicians, mailings and event set-up. One of their passions was contributing to and watching the development of young, aspiring musicians. George was also involved in the Sunriver Citizens Patrol and, at the age of 88, became an elected member of the Board of Directors for the Deschutes Public Library. Being an avid reader and at the suggestion of a library in Sunriver, George became a contributor and ardent supporter of this idea, and was instrumental in seeing it come to fruition, acting as project manager. One of his proudest moments was the opening of the Sunriver Area Public Library in 1998. He took great joy in visiting libraries during his travels around the country, always bringing back new ideas for the local libraries.

George enjoyed many sports, activities and hobbies during his lifetime, including fly fishing, cross-country skiing, cycling, glider flying, golf and tennis. He played tennis in college and continued to play until his death. He was involved in organizing and participating in tennis events and tournaments in Sunriver, and he loved his weekly tennis group.

Living in Sunriver was a joy for George. After the passing of his beloved wife in 2003, he continued to live in the house they had built on Oregon Loop and, although he considered the idea of perhaps moving to someplace a little more simple, he chose not to leave his dear friends and neighbors, affectionately called “The Loopers” – they were so special to him! His family will always be grateful for those caring people who kept a “watchful eye”.

As we say “goodbye” to a remarkable man, his family is left with an incomparable legacy of teachings, love, support and inspiration. We hope that his friends and acquaintances will remember him for his spirit, his love of life, his sparkling personality, his integrity and dedication, and his constant whistle to a tune only he knew – original and lively – just like his life.

George is survived by his son, Bill Riser of Bend, OR, his daughter, Penelope Riser Markley of Palm Springs, CA., three grandchildren, Laurie Smith England of Los Angeles, CA, Stephen Pierce of Los Gatos, CA and Kristen Kildahl of West Linn, OR, five great- grandchildren and one great-great grandson.

A Celebration of Life gathering for his friends and acquaintances will take place on Sunday, March 6, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Sunriver Public Library. A family celebration will take place in June. Donations in memory of George can be made to the Sunriver Musical Festival at P. 0. Box 4308, Sunriver, OR 97707, or the Sunriver Area Public Library, 56855 Venture Ln., Sunriver, OR 97707.

Hospital Continued from C1 The bill for the bonds will be paid out of the hospital revenue account, not from taxpayers.

When the board looked at current bonds they discovered high interest rates due to the poor economy.

“The interest rate we must pay on the bonds has to be rea-

sonable before we proceed,” said Janelle Orcutt, chairwoman of the hospital board. “Our obligation to the community is to ensure that debt incurred now will be supportable long into the future. It is better for us to move slowly and carefully than to take the first offer and burden the organization with unmanageable debt.”

Smith said he expects to hear back from the program in “two

or three months” and hopes to see an interest rate of below 6 percent if they sell bonds over the summer.

Smith said he believes the project can break ground in September or October and complete construction around January 2013.

Judith Viola Arnett Howell was born to Sheldon and Viola Cooper Arnett on July 10, 1946, and passed away on February 18, 2011, at the age of 64. Judy is survived by her husband, John and three children: Scott Howell of Salem, OR, Jodie Barram of Bend, OR, and Angie Howell of Santa Maria, CA, five grandchildren and two sisters, Linda Johnson of Bend, OR and Gwendolyn Babbitt of Woodland, WA. The eldest of three girls, Judy was raised in Clatskanie, Oregon and Crescent City, California until 1961 when her family moved to Redmond, Oregon where she attended high school and met John Howell. Judy and her family were actively involved in Redmond Free Methodist Church where Judy served as pianist and organist and took a leadership role among the youth. She took her personal relationship with Christ very seriously and made it her priority to pursue an ever-deepening faith in God and to live a life that would reflect His love and grace to everyone she met.

Judy graduated from Redmond Union High School in 1964 and continued her education at Seattle Pacific College, Central Oregon Community College, and while she was in the process of earning her degree in elementary education from Oregon State University, she married John Howell. She went on to attain her Master’s degree and to teach for ten years in a variety of venues from small, country schools in rural Oregon to the culturally diverse, poverty-torn inner cities of southern California.

An accomplished musician, Judy was also a gifted oil painter. She portrayed on canvas the unique and stunning beauty of a landscape, capturing its essence so clearly that even the scents and sounds of the scene seemed to spring forth. Her voracious appetite for reading and discovering the latest information kept her current on a wide variety of topics to which she could speak with confidence. She was “in-theknow” on practical matters from health foods and exercise to current world events and education. She was not one to just talk about what needed to be done, she would be DOING it! When she discovered truth, she acted on it. Her commitment to consistent self discipline was observable and inspiring.

Judy had a contagious spirit of adventure and traveled extensively. She always took along her outgoing inquisitiveness and her humorous wit which added plenty of unpredictable fun to any outing. She had the uncanny and compassionate ability to sense another’s needs and preferences and to accommodate them generously with grace and genuine encouragement. Along with this, came a keen insight for using pertinent, precise details carefully laced with hilarious exaggerations to lighten the potential tension of a precarious conversation. This unique “Judy-talent” was most entertaining and sometimes quite useful in leveling the occasional, seemingly slanted playing field.

Judy’s unshakable faith and her tenacious spirit equipped her to be a strong, positive, godly influence wherever she went. Demonstrating complete trust in God through countless trials, Judy’s relentless faith has been a beacon of light for many others throughout her life. She bravely endured the battle against breast cancer with unsinkable courage and steadfast hope and was ever on a mission to uncover a solution for herself and others. When the end was clearly in view, she was at peace, an obvious evidence of the unmistakable Presence of God in Judy’s life, on a daily and constant basis since her childhood. Though she will be sorely missed, her legacy lives on, and her efforts were not in vain. She gave her attention, talents, and strength to that which is eternal … the influence of the Living God in the lives of all who encountered this tiny little red-headed ball of fire with an unquenchable spirit far greater than anything this world could throw at her. I feel confident that Judy’s homecoming was crowned with a resounding “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”

A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m., Sunday, February 27, at the Westside Foursquare Church in Bend, OR.

ASL ONE OF COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES TAUGHT IN COOS BAY

Come Join the Fun! Lou Sennick / The (Coos Bay) World

Using only sign language, students at Marshfield High School in Coos Bay line themselves up alphabetically according to middle names. It was one of the exercises their teacher, Barbara Young, had them working on. The American Sign Language class is one of several college-level courses being taught at Marshfield High this year. The program, called enhanced options, is a partnership with Southwestern Community College, through which college professors teach at the high school. The district covers the professors’ cost, and the students buy their books.

O B Wu attributes erratic conduct to stress PORTLAND — An Oregon congressman says he has gotten help after his staff raised concerns about his mental health.

Democratic U.S. Rep. David Wu gave an interview Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” saying he was under a lot of stress in the month before his reelection last November.

Wu said he was taking care of his two children mostly by himself, and caring for his 88-yearold mother.

The Oregonian reported that campaign staffers had pleaded with Wu to seek psychiatric help in the final week before the election but he refused.

In the ABC interview, Wu said it was unprofessional of him to send e-mails to his staff written in the style of his children, along with a photo of himself dressed in a tiger costume.

Bill calls for colleges to aid needy students SALEM — Oregon lawmakers are considering relief from tuition increases for needy college

students.

The Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee will hold a public hearing on the idea Tuesday.

Senate President Peter Courtney, a Democrat from Salem, is sponsoring the measure. It would require that universities and community colleges help students with financial need when tuition is hiked above a certain threshold.

Courtney’s bill leaves the threshold to be decided. The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Salem.

Police identify suspect 48 years after killing PORTLAND — Police in Oregon have identified a suspect in the death of a Portland woman 48 years ago.

The Portland Police Bureau announced Tuesday it was seeking a man for the 1963 death of Mary Frances Reid, who was 22 years old when she was killed.

A cold case unit, assisted by retired investigators who volunteer their time, is asking the public for help locating Johnny Lawrence, who was 42 when the victim was killed in Portland.

Police say they don’t know if Lawrence is still alive, but they want to find him either way. Lawrence would be about 90 now, is black, and was 5-foot-7 and weighed 150 pounds in the early 1960s.

Troopers ask for help to find eagle’s shooter ASTORIA — Oregon State Police troopers are asking for public help to track down who shot a bald eagle found at Svensen Island near Astoria in December.

The Wildlife Center of the North Coast in Astoria captured the mature eagle Dec. 22. The protected bird was found on the ground, wet, cold and covered in blood, with an injured wing.

X-rays taken at Bayshore Animal Hospital in Warrenton revealed a shotgun pellet near a fractured wing bone.

After six weeks of critical care in the Wildlife Center’s hospital, the eagle has been moved to the outdoor flight cage. Volunteers say it is gaining strength.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the state police at (503) 325-5515.

Golf pro does the work for travelers Central Oregon Golf Trail’s concierge service makes traveling to area simpler

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Tommy Berg has learned plenty about Central Oregon in the 13 years since he first moved here from Washington.

A 31-year-old golf pro, Berg has witnessed the area turn itself from a regional hot spot into a much larger golf destination attracting golfers from around the U.S. and beyond.

Now the Bend resident is letting outsiders in on this region’s secrets.

And he is not even bothering to charge for the information.

Berg, who grew up in Kelso, Wash., is Central Oregon’s golf concierge.

He does everything to arrange the details of a trip to Central Oregon as

part of a free service provided by the Central Oregon Golf Trail, a cooperative effort among 22 golf courses in the region and the Central Oregon Visitors Association.

It is one way to make the region a bit more attractive to potential visitors, Berg says.

“We have tough competition, obviously, with Bandon Dunes in Oregon, as a destination,” Berg says, referring to the internationally popular seaside golf resort on the southern Oregon Coast. “A lot of our marketing, we’re trying to sell Central Oregon as a whole.

Madras wraps up second in Tri-Valley Bulletin Staff Report MADRAS — The White Buffaloes did not pull away from Molalla in their Class 4A Tri-Valley regular season finale until the third quarter, but with Cheyenne Wahnetah and Abby Scott combining to score 26 points, Madras eventually prevailed 5743 and clinched second place in the league standings.

“We started pretty slow with the distractions of senior night,” Madras coach Rory Oster said.

The Buffaloes (8-2 league, 16-7 overall) outscored the Indians in each period, but only led by three points at halftime.

PORTLAND — Something intangible shifted for LaMarcus Aldridge in mid-December.

The Trail Blazers played Dallas on Dec. 15, and while they lost 103-98, Portland’s 6-foot-11 power forward had 35 points. As it turned out, it was the start of the best stretch of Aldridge’s career so far.

“That Dallas game — I’ve said it so many times — that Dallas game, something just clicked,” Aldridge said. “Ever since then I’ve been playing well.”

And it shows no real sign of abating.

The Texan is averaging 26.3 points and 9.7 rebounds since Dec. 15. He has 10 games this season with at least 30 points, eight of those games coming since All-Star guard Brandon Roy was sidelined with sore knees. Overall, he’s averaging 22.3 points and 8.9 rebounds.

MADRAS — Bobby Ahern shot Madras to a Class 4A TriValley Conference victory over Molalla in both teams’ boys basketball regular-season finale Tuesday night.

Ahern recorded a team-high 16 points and tallied a trio of three-pointers in a 62-47 White Buffalo win that guaranteed Madras at least second place in the league standings.

The White Buffaloes (7-3 league, 10-13 overall) jumped out to a 17-9 advantage in the first quarter before the Indians closed the gap to a single point after three periods of play.

“They kind of took it to us,”

Madras coach Allen Hair said.

“But in the fourth quarter we put the clamps down defensively.” The Buffs owned the final frame, outscoring Molalla 22-8 while shooting 64 percent from the floor in the second half.

“We did a better job of passing the ball around,” Hair said.

Four Madras players ended the night with double-digit scoring: Justin QueahpamaMehlberg recorded 13 points, Edward Zacarias added 12 and Jhaylen Yeahquo contributed 11.

The White Buffaloes will host a Class 4A play-in game on Friday night against an undetermined opponent.

S B Baseball • Ducks beat Rainbows 4-3: Senior right-hander Kellen Moen mowed down the final four Hawaii batters he faced and Oregon left Les Murakami Stadium in Honolulu with a 4-3 victory on Monday night. The game was shortened to eight innings due to Oregon’s travel, but the Ducks evened the series at 2-2 after dropping the first two games. Alex Keudell was credited with the win after lasting five innings on the mound allowing two runs — one earned — on five hits and four walks while tying a career high by fanning nine.

• Sox GM says talk of $30 million players ‘asinine’: Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams says talk of $30 million-a-year players is “asinine” and he would support a work stoppage to bring fiscal sanity. Williams doesn’t want a stoppage but said the sport’s future needs to be protected for fans and smaller markets. In an earlier interview with Comcast SportsNet, Williams said discussion of a $30 million average salary was “asinine.” He said baseball has reached the point of no return and something needs to happen. With St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols eligible for free agency after the World Series, there has been speculation he could be the first with a $30 million average salary.

• Jeter laughs off Hank Steinbrenner’s comments: Derek Jeter laughed off Hank Steinbrenner’s assertion that some New York Yankees were “too busy building mansions” after winning the 2009 World Series. The Yankees captain was building a large multimillion dollar home in Tampa last year when New York lost to Texas in the AL championship series after fading in the second half of the season and winding up with the AL wild card.

Basketball • No UConn postseason ban, but Calhoun suspended: UConn coach Jim Calhoun was suspended by the NCAA for three games next season for recruiting violations committed under his watch, though the program dodged a major sanction when it was spared a postseason ban.

Calhoun was cited by the NCAA on Tuesday for failing to create an atmosphere of compliance within his program and was suspended for the first three Big East games during the 2011-12 season. The NCAA also hit UConn with scholarship reductions for three academic years, recruiting restrictions, permanent disassociation of a booster and three years probation. As a part of the disassociation of the booster, not named in the report, the university will not be able to accept financial contributions, recruiting assistance or provide him with any benefit and privileges.

Football • Panthers place franchise tag on Ryan Kalil: The Carolina Panthers placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on two-time Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil on Tuesday, a move that will help keep the core of the offensive line intact but will also make two other key players unrestricted free agents. General manager Marty Hurney chose to restrict Kalil’s free agency over running back DeAngelo Williams and defensive end Charles Johnson.

• Saints release tight end Jeremy Shockey: For flamboyant tight end Jeremy Shockey, the party is over — at least in New Orleans. Shockey was released Tuesday by the Saints, who appear ready to move on with promising second-year pro and 2010 third-round draft choice Jimmy Graham. Shockey made a crucial touchdown catch in the fourth quarter of the Saints’ lone Super Bowl victory over Indianapolis in Miami just more than a year ago.

• Union, NFL heading toward full week of mediation: Federally mediated negotiations between the NFL and the players’ union have stretched past 35 hours over five days — and they aren’t done. Tuesday’s session ended after about eight hours. The union, meanwhile, called off a planned meeting with player agents that was supposed to happen Thursday in Indianapolis; labor talks are expected to continue that day in Washington.

NHL ROUNDUP

Sharks hang on for victory over Red Wings The Associated Press DETROIT — Joe Thornton was at his best, poking the puck into the net and creating chances for a teammate.

Thornton scored his 300th NHL goal and assisted on both by Devin Setoguchi as the San Jose Sharks held on to beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 Tuesday night.

“Jumbo really came to play,” San Jose coach Todd McLellan said.

The Red Wings started strong and ended with a flurry of shots, but Antti Niemi denied them early and late with a 35-save performance to help the surging Sharks win their fourth straight and for the 13th time in 16 games.

“Our playoffs started 15 games ago,” Thornton said.

The Central Division-leading Red Wings, who had won a season-high five straight, are trying to catch Vancouver for the top spot in the Western Conference and hold off teams such as San Jose for playoff positioning.

“We’re not going to win every one, so this is nothing to get down about,” said Jimmy Howard, who stopped 39 shots.

Henrik Zetterberg scored a power-play goal with 1:51 left to pull the Red Wings within a goal, but they couldn’t beat Niemi again to force overtime.

“They made the plays in the end, give them credit,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.

Ryane Clowe scored midway through the game on a breakaway he created by blocking a shot.

Detroit’s Danny Cleary scored game-tying goals early in the second and at the 14:42 mark of the period.

The Red Wings got off to a great start, outshooting the Sharks 9-1 midway through the first period and killing their five-on-three power play.

“If you’re able to stop those, then it’s easier the rest of the game,” Niemi said.

Thornton scored the game’s first goal on a power play with 18 seconds left in the period, becoming the 18th active player with 300 goals.

“It’s nice,” he said. “I didn’t know until Patty (Marleau) told me.”

San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton (19) prepares to shoot on Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard during the second period of an NHL hockey game in Detroit, Tuesday.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Thornton joined Mark Recchi, Mike Modano and Teemu Selanne as the only active players with at least 300 goals and 680-plus assists.

“He’s very good with the puck and he uses his size to his advantage,” Detroit defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said. “He’s hard to defend with or without the puck.”

Cleary tied the game at the 7:06 mark of the second period and knotted it up again — 34 seconds after Clowe’s goal — late in the second, giving him a career-high 21 goals.

Setoguchi put the Sharks ahead for good with 1:17 left in the second period and made it a two-goal lead at 13:12 of the third.

NFL

Family tries to interpret Duerson’s final act Suicide note left by former Bear pleads that his brain be studied

By Alan Schwarz New York Times News Service

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. — The words came up on Alicia Duerson’s cell phone as blithely as text messages typically do, but this one was different: Her ex-husband, former Chicago Bears star Dave Duerson, instructed her to donate his brain for research.

She texted back and heard nothing, then called their son, Tregg, who was just ending his workday as a bank analyst in Chicago. They kept calling and got only voice mail.

The next and last message they received from Dave Duerson was meant for them, their family and perhaps all of professional football. It was written in his hurried hand, repeating his text message in case it hadn’t been received, and was found in the South Florida condominium where he placed a gun to his chest and shot himself to death last Thursday: “PLEASE, SEE THAT MY BRAIN IS GIVEN TO THE NFL’S BRAIN BANK.” Which Dave Duerson wrote that note, and what did it mean? The graduate of Notre Dame or the former Bears safety who, at 50, was finding it hard to remember names and put words together?

The father of four, acting charitably, or the football players union official all too familiar with retired players dealing with physical decline and dementia?

Was it the kid who adored the sport he played growing up in Muncie, Ind., or a man with pointed second thoughts to share?

Alicia and Tregg Duerson can’t know and don’t care to guess. What they do know is that what has stunned the football community — Dave Duerson’s choosing to shoot himself in the chest to preserve his brain for examination — gives them some solace in a sad and confusing time.

“I think it’s just an example of the type of person he is,” Alicia Duerson said.

“In his time, he put the future in front of him — future generations of football players in front of him. I’m just so proud of him at this moment.”

Sitting with his mother on the deck of his father’s building Monday night, Tregg Duerson sobbed.

“He was looking for an answer,” Tregg said. “And he was hoping to be a part of an answer.”

The pertinent question is whether Duerson had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the degenerative brain disease recently found posthumously in about 20 retired players, a disease that has been linked to depression, cognitive impairment and, occasionally, suicide.

That determination will be conducted over the next several months by doctors at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, which recently began receiving financial support from the National Football League.

The broader issues, given the growing number of football players developing dementia or other cognitive decline, are what the cost of football will eventually be for generations of retired players, and how the game might be made safer for active players, from professionals to peewees.

Duerson’s typed and handwritten final letter, consisting mostly of personal comments that relatives declined to make public, did describe blurred vision and pain, Alicia Duerson said, “on the left side of his brain.” The implication, by pledging his brain to research, was that his problem, and perhaps his suicide as well, stemmed from his football career.

“I would have to guess it was a statement about football and its impact on the brain,” said Robert Smith, a former NFL running back, who served with Duerson on the panel that considers former players’ disability claims. “It had to be. And, his belief that it contributed to his final despair.”

A hard-hitting but nimble defensive back, Duerson was a two-time AllAmerican at Notre Dame and a two-

Tregg Duerson, son of the former Chicago Bears star Dave Duerson, who committed suicide and said to donate his brain to the NFL, and his mother Alicia, in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., on Monday. The growing number of football players developing dementia or other cognitive decline is raising questions on what the cost of football will eventually be for generations of retired players, and how the game might be made safer for active players.

“I think it’s just an example of the type of person he is. In his time, he put the future in front of him — future generations of football players in front of him. I’m just so proud of him at this moment.”

— Alicia Duerson, former ex-wife of Dave Duerson time Super Bowl champion, first as part of the 1985 Bears’ famed 46 defense, then five years later with the New York Giants. He met Alicia during his freshman year at Notre Dame; they divorced last year.

“He was hitting so strong and hard, and he was so aggressive as a defensive back that after the game I was really afraid to go up to him,” she said of their first meeting, after a Notre Dame football game. “He was like: ‘What’s wrong with you? Come over here, let me give you a hug.’ He was so sweet and kind.

He could leave the game on the field and go back to being Dave.”

When Duerson left the field for good after the 1993 season with the Arizona Cardinals, he was succeeding in the food service business. He also stayed active in players union affairs.

Duerson eventually joined the sixman volunteer panel that considered retired players’ claims under the NFL’s disability plan, then the 88 Plan, a fund that has assisted more than 150 families caring for retired players with dementia since its inception in 2007. Duerson read applications, testimonies and detailed doctors’ reports for hundreds of players with injuries everywhere, including the brain, to the point of institutionalization. He had to vote on whether these former players received financial assistance.

In 2007, two congressional committees held hearings on whether the disability board was unfairly denying benefits. Duerson testified before the Senate Commerce Committee alongside Brent Boyd, a former Minnesota Vikings lineman whose depression and cognitive impairment had been ruled unrelated to his playing career, therefore warranting significantly lower benefits. It is unknown how Duerson voted on Boyd’s case. He did get into a testy exchange when Boyd, then 50, asserted that his condition — and that of other players with dementia — was caused by football.

“In regards to the issue of Alzheim-

er’s, my father’s 84, and, as I had mentioned earlier, senator, spent 30 years at General Motors,” Duerson said, according to the hearing transcript. “He also has — he also has Alzheimer’s and brain damage, but never played a professional sport. So, the challenge, you know, in terms of where the damage comes from, is a fair question.”

Around this time, Duerson’s life began changing course. His company, Duerson Foods, was forced into receivership. His 17-room home in Highland Park, Ill., went into foreclosure. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge after pushing Alicia during an argument, leading him to resign from Notre Dame’s board. Duerson filed for personal bankruptcy in September.

Few close to Duerson appear to have noticed anything wrong with him. MikiYaras Davis, the union’s director of player benefits, said that at a disability board meeting in November, Duerson was his usual joyous, cigar-smoking self. Other union officials said they did not see any signs of cognitive impairment, although one, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Duerson once spoke plaintively that he might someday develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Alicia Duerson, who kept in good touch with Dave, said he developed a hesitancy in putting words together on paper and in conversation. He also had short-term memory loss that, she said, “got worse as time went on. I think David knew that inside of him there was something wrong.”

Duerson asked that his brain go to the NFL brain bank, an indication that he recognized the league’s support of the Boston University research. After denying and discrediting evidence of football’s long-term impact on the brain for several years, the NFL has increased its efforts to make the game less dangerous through concussion-treatment protocols and rule changes.

“It is a tragic situation that has every-

one in the football community feeling both saddened and concerned,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote Tuesday in an e-mail. “Dave Duerson was a leader, a doer and a giver. He made great contributions to the NFL and to many others. The human tragedy is gut-wrenching, and Dave’s family and friends have been in our thoughts. On the medical side, we will stay in close contact with our medical advisers and the BU research group to understand the facts and their significance.”

Smith said that after joining the disability board last year, he never sensed skepticism from Duerson that players’ cognitive problems were related to football. He acknowledged that Duerson’s personal and financial problems must have contributed to his final act, and that his brain might in fact not show the protein deposits and damaged neurons indicative of CTE. “He devoted so much to retired players and their problems,” Smith said, “you wish that the information that he had received from all those other cases would have led him to seek the help that could have saved him. That’s what I will have to deal with as my time on the board continues — to do what I can to help get his message across.”

Alicia said some of Duerson’s ashes, per his longtime wishes, would be spread at Notre Dame and Soldier Field, sites of his finest days. A public memorial service is scheduled for Saturday in Chicago.

Tregg Duerson also played football at Notre Dame, until he decided after one year to concentrate on earning his management degree.

“I just wish he had played baseball,” Tregg blurted angrily at one point during the interview.

But a few minutes later, asked if his father might have had the same second thoughts, he broke into a knowing smile and actually laughed.

“My dad’s not a second-guess type of guy,” he said. “If he makes up his mind, it’s on, baby. There’s no looking back.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — For a half, David Lighty was almost invisible.

Then it was as if he was invincible, refusing to let No. 2 Ohio State falter again.

Lighty scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half and William Buford had all 17 of his in the first to lead the Buckeyes to a big bounce-back win after two recent losses, beating Illinois 89-70 on Tuesday night.

“I’ve said since the beginning: I love him,” Illini coach Bruce Weber said of Lighty, only the third-leading scorer for the Buckeyes. “I think he’s the MVP. He probably won’t get it because people aren’t smart enough. But he’s their heart and soul.”

During one remarkable threeminute span, Lighty scored all 13 of Ohio State’s points (to just two for the Illini) and had three steals.

“They should put a statue in front of the Schottenstein Center of David Lighty, just what he’s meant to this program, not only on the court,” coach Thad Matta said, referring to Ohio State’s home arena. “His performance there in the second half was high level. I looked out there (and) it was like he was everywhere.”

The Illini scored 11 of the first 13 points of the second half to pull within 49-43 before Lighty took over.

He scored Ohio State’s next 13 points to build the lead back to 62-45.

Just that quick, the Illini responded with an 8-0 run to narrow the gap to 62-53.

Lighty then fed substitute forward Deshaun Thomas, caught in a recent shooting slump, for a three-pointer. Seconds later, Lighty missed a jumper and Thomas fought off a defender for the rebound and converted it into a three-point play for a 68-53 lead.

Between them, Lighty and Thomas accounted for all 19 Ohio State points over a span of 7½ minutes.

Nuggets sad Billups going to Knicks with Melo

Aldridge

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

DENVER — The melancholy mood at the Pepsi Center had as much — if not more — to do with Chauncey Billups’ departure as it did Carmelo Anthony’s.

Denver Nuggets coach George Karl echoed a community’s anguish Tuesday in seeing its hometown hero, who wanted to stay put, leave for the Big Apple along with the superstar who wanted out.

In a swap that was being finalized Tuesday, the Nuggets dealt their two most popular players along with three backups to the New York Knicks for a package of four young players, three draft picks and cash in a megadeal that reshapes both franchises.

Karl said he was relieved the Anthony trade saga was finally over but, like several of his players, he lamented the loss of Billups, who led the Nuggets to the Western Conference finals two years ago after he was acquired from the Detroit Pistons.

“I can’t deny that when the trade went down last night, I was kind of more sad than happy,” Karl said after his team’s shorthanded shootaround Tuesday. “I think most of that sadness was because of Chauncey — and A.C. a little bit, too.”

The blockbuster trade would also send Anthony Carter, Shelden Williams and Renaldo Balkman to New York for Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov.

The Nuggets could have lost Anthony to free agency without any compensation after the season like the Cleveland Cavaliers did when LeBron James bolted for Miami last summer.

So, that kind of haul led Karl to exclaim that the new front office team of Masai Ujiri and Josh Kroenke “hit a home run the first time up.”

“I think they did a great job,” Karl said. “And the kitchen got hot. The kitchen got hot and they did a great job of keeping their composure and direction.

I think they get philosophically what they want and we get philosophically what we want as a coaching staff. So, it’s a win-win. And I think it’s a winwin for the Knicks, too. So, I think Donnie Walsh and Mark Warkentien in a strange way, we all think worked the dynamics of a very difficult situation into a win-win.”

Except for losing Billups, that is.

Billups is a former NBA finals MVP and All-Star who remains one of the league’s top point guards at 34. He grew up in Denver and attended the University of Colorado and had hoped to finish his career with the Nuggets.

Ty Lawson said he had mixed emotions about his new role as the starting point guard because he was losing his mentor who helped groom him for this moment.

“It was more than about basketball,” Lawson said. “We hung out. So, I’m going to miss him.”

The Nuggets aren’t rebuilding with this trade, but are rather reinventing themselves, Karl said.

Although the trade leaves the Nuggets with a leadership void, Karl insisted Denver will make the playoffs this season and predicted they might even do something they did just once in seven trips to the playoffs with Anthony: advance out of the first round.

“When we get the players here, there’s going to be a refreshing attitude, a regrouping,” Karl said.

“I might be crazy, but I think we can make the playoffs and I also think we can be a threat to win in the playoffs.”

Boston Celtics’ Delonte West, right, looks to pass away from Golden State Warriors’ Monta Ellis (8) during the first half of an NBA basketball game Tuesday in Oakland, Calif.

Celtics overtake Warriors The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo each came close to a triple-double, and the Boston Celtics picked up right where they left off before the All-Star break with an easy 115-93 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Garnett had 24 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and Rondo had 19 points, 15 assists and six rebounds to help the Celtics stay atop the Eastern Conference standings and break a six-game losing streak at Golden State. They hadn’t won in the Bay Area since Dec. 29, 2003.

Dorell Wright scored 19 points and Stephen Curry had 18 for the Warriors, who had won seven of their past nine before the break and appeared to be building some momentum. Instead, they fell apart in the fourth quarter and couldn’t recover against one of the NBA’s elite.

There was no sign that Boston had any All-Star hangover.

The Celtics had a record-tying four players in the NBA showcase along with Doc Rivers and his coaching staff on the sideline for the East stars. They got big nights from all four, with Paul Pierce adding 23 points and Ray Allen scoring 18.

Even with strong performances from the Big Four, the Celtics were still locked in a tight game for most of the first three quarters. They pulled away at the end of the third with that strong, physical defense that has been their staple.

Nate Robinson’s dunk and Rondo’s three-pointer at the end of the third period gave Boston an 88-78 lead. The Warriors trimmed the deficit to four early in the fourth before the Celtics again took hold, going ahead by 18 points on a run that was highlighted by Pierce’s fastbreak dunk on a bounce pass from Rondo that split two defenders.

About the only downside for Boston was that center Kendrick Perkins left in the second half with a bruised left knee and did not return.

NBA ROUNDUP

Continued from D1 “We’re playing through him,” guard Andre Miller said. “The game is coming easy to him and we can get him transition points, post him up, get him to the free throw line and (have him) knock down jump shots, so he doesn’t have to play too much with his back to the basket. And when he does he’s making plays for everybody else.”

Aldridge has twice been named the Western Conference’s Player of the Week, most recently for a stretch from Feb. 7-13 during which he scored at least 36 points against Chicago, Toronto and Detroit.

Personally, Aldridge’s life has also shifted. He became a father last summer. This season, his mother, Georgia, has been battling cancer and he’s dedicated his season to her.

Paced by Aldridge with key contributions from Miller, Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews, the injury-addled Blazers (32-24) have won a season-high six straight games and sit at fifth place in the Western Conference standings. The team is a season-best eight games over .500.

Portland begins its push toward the postseason tonight when it hosts the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

“I think we’re in a great mindset, a great place right now,” Aldridge said in his typical low-key style.

“We’ve won six in a row. Guys are playing great.”

Aldridge, the second overall pick in 2006 acquired by the Blazers in a draft-day deal with the Chicago Bulls, is well ahead of where he was last season, when he averaged 17.9 points and eight rebounds per game.

“He’s really evolved in his all-around play,” Matthews said. “For most players that’s the next revolution: Can he make others better? He’s really doing that.”

Aldridge’s ascent coincided with the knee trouble that has plagued Roy. Roy played for less than 30 minutes and scored just four points in the Dec. 15 game against Dallas.

He sat after that, with the Blazers finally announcing on Dec. 30 that he would be out “indefinitely.”

Roy, averaging 16.6 points per game this season, eventually had arthroscopic surgery on both knees on Jan. 17. He has said the problem is too little cartilage — meaning he’s essentially playing on bone against bone.

The former NBA Rookie of the Year was the sixth overall pick in the 2006 draft, also acquired by the Blazers in a draft-day deal The question seems to be whether the Blazers will change their style once Roy comes back. Portland should also soon see the return of center Marcus Camby, who also had arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-January.

Roy has indicated he may come back for the Lakers, but coach Nate McMillan said he wouldn’t decide until after today’s shootaround.

Aldridge believes having Roy back is nothing but a positive.

“We’ve missed him,” Aldridge said. “We’ve been using Nic (Batum) at the four, and a lot of guys have been playing a lot of minutes. So getting Brandon back should be big for us.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Poulter alarmed by his early start made birdie to force a playoff, which he won.

Davis also says the sixth hole at Congressional will be a par 5, making the course play to a par 71. It was a par 70 in 1997.

“We’ve built a new tee and we’re making it a risk-reward par 5,” Davis said earlier this month about the sixth hole.

“People used to throw darts at us for reducing par, and now we’re increasing par. It’s because we looked at the hole and said, ‘This green has not been built for a par 4.’ And now we can get aggressive with some hole locations.”

Davis also said the graduated rough that has become his signature at the U.S. Open might not be on every hole at Congressional. That requires plenty of room (Bethpage Black, Torrey Pines), and Congressional features tree-lined fairways.

“On some of those holes, we do not have enough width to do what we want,” he said. “You’ll go from the lighter rough to be under some branches. In other cases, we’d have more balls outside the rope line. I think this year will be a different.”

Golf channel NBC Sports and the Golf Channel are under the same parent company now that Comcast has acquired NBCUniversal. They will show their new association this week at the Match Play Championship with a combined 28 hours of live coverage.

The programming will be branded as “Golf Channel on NBC.” The coverage will incorporate the Golf Channel look, from tournament graphics to the logo the commentators wear on their apparel.

“There are very few channels whose name delivers exactly what the brand promises,” said Dick Ebersol, chairman of the NBC Sports Group. “Our plan is to grow Golf Channel by exposing it to new viewers through the broad reach of the network and the unprecedented cross-promotional power of NBCUniversal.”

Consolation The Match Play Championship has changed its format this year. Instead of the semifinals Saturday afternoon and a 36-hole championship match, the semifinals will be Sunday morning, following by an 18hole final.

Still in place is the consolation match.

Tournament organizers like the idea of a consolation match because of the difference in money, world ranking points, FedEx Cup points, and every other year, Ryder Cup points.

Stewart Cink doesn’t mind the consolation match, but he thinks there’s nothing wrong with it ending in a draw.

“I remember when me and Ross Fisher came to the 18th tied,” Cink said of a consolation match two years ago. “I hit it in the bunker and he’s got five feet for par. I holed my bunker shot.

Otherwise, we go extra holes, and then it’s up to TV. What do you do?”

One year later, focus back on Woods’ score, not his words

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods is the talk of the Match Play Championship again.

At least this year it’s about how he plays, not what he says.

That doesn’t mean his prospects are any better.

Woods passes another mile marker this week on what appears to be a slow road back.

The first was Thanksgiving, the one-year anniversary of when his life came crashing down around him. The next one will be at the Masters, where he finally returned to golf.

It was a year ago at the Match Play Championship that Woods showed just how much golf revolves around him.

“The day the world came to a standstill,” Retief Goosen said with a grin.

The opening round today was no more than three hours old when word came that Woods, who had been in seclusion since revelations of his extramarital affairs, would be speaking publicly for the first time from across the country at the TPC Sawgrass.

Just like that, the 32 winners that day didn’t matter.

Players were ignored again two days later, when Woods gave a 13½-minute statement that was televised around the world.

He spoke about two hours before thirdround matches, and Dove Mountain was buzzing with media. They weren’t there for the golf.

“I remember turning up to the golf course and there were 50 media guys around the clubhouse, waiting for us to go to the locker room,” Paul Casey said. “It was headphones in and hat on. Even if I did want to speak, I didn’t know what to say. We were trying to absorb it as much as everyone. It was strange.

I don’t know about the rest of the players. I watched it with curiosity.”

Goosen avoided the media by going through a back entrance, and he wasn’t alone.

“They were all standing there waiting for you to say something and blow it all out of proportion,” Goosen said.

Eight players advanced to the quarterfinals that day, a forgotten achievement. One of them was Stewart Cink, who went 19 holes to beat Charl Schwartzel, then walked back toward the clubhouse to see a larger-than-

Tiger Woods looks down the fairway while playing a practice round at the Match Play Championship golf tournament Tuesday in Marana, Ariz. usual group of reporters waiting for him.

He was asked seven questions — all about Woods.

“I wanted to talk about my match,” Cink said with a laugh. “I did get a couple of questions ... from the PGA Tour media official.”

Ian Poulter didn’t even turn on the TV that morning. He didn’t want anything to distract from his match, and not watching meant he would have nothing to say. “It makes it pretty easy,” Poulter said that day.

They all know what Woods means to the game. They play for $8.5 million in these World Golf Championships, a sum that wouldn’t exist except for Woods driving interest and TV ratings over the years.

Those who spoke said all the right things, that Woods’ apology sounded sincere and that they hoped he could get back to golf soon. Indeed, Woods returned to the golf course two months later.

As for the player they remembered? Well, they’re still waiting.

It has been 15 months and 17 tournaments since his last victory, the longest drought of his career. During a previous dry spell, his only win in 23 tournaments was the Match Play Championship. Anything can happen this week.

His behavior on the course is subject to interpretation.

Woods is signing more autographs, though never as many as some believe he should.

That’s a battle Woods can never win. He was

fined by the European Tour two weeks ago for spitting on the green in Dubai, a gesture that was more of an outrage in Britain than America.

Despite being the highest-ranked American and a three-time winner of the Match Play Championship, he declined to go to the media center for his pre-tournament interview Tuesday, instead making TV crews and reporters set up on the back side of the clubhouse so he could get it out of the way before his practice round. For a guy trying to make amends, Woods still insists on calling the shots.

Ultimately, though, it comes down to his golf.

John Cook caused a stir last week when he said he was on the practice range with Woods and “it clicked.” Then again, Cook was gushing about Woods’ swing when he came out of therapy last year.

Woods toned down the excitement Tuesday by clarifying what Cook meant.

“I got a better understanding of it,” Woods said. “I think that’s what John was saying. He was out there working with me and saw what I was working on with Sean (Foley, his swing coach). ... Now I just need to keep working on it and keep heading down this path.”

He is the biggest name at Dove Mountain, but not the best player at the moment.

The transgressions of the past are seldom mentioned except when he marks an anniversary he would rather forget. Most would agree that golf is better when he is playing well, although the game managed to survive.

Martin Kaymer of Germany, who won the PGA Championship last year and can go to No. 1 in the world this week, is intriguing.

Dustin Johnson has potential to be the next American star, along with Rickie Fowler.

There are three teenagers in the field.

“I did not think we’d be in this good of shape a year later,” said Ben Crane, who took on the majority of media requests at Dove Mountain the day Woods spoke. “I think we’ve shared the media load with a lot of younger players. For the average golf fan, it’s a more interesting game. For the non-golf fan, it’s not as interesting.

“Tiger hasn’t played a lot,” Crane said.

“And he hasn’t played as well.”

It would help Woods to do a little of both before his next mile marker.

G B Fitness • Golf fitness class taking registration: Chris Cooper, a Titleist Performance Institute-certified golf fitness instructor, is accepting registration for a nine-week golf fitness course this spring in Bend.

MARANA, Ariz. — Ian Poulter certainly felt like the defending champion at the Match Play Championship. He is featured prominently on the cover of the program. His name and picture are on banners along with other World Golf Championship winners. There even was a Facebook promotion in which fans picked his outfits for the week.

Those feelings ended, however, when Poulter looked at the starting times.

Poulter plays Stewart Cink in the first of 32 matches Wednesday, on the tee at 7:25 a.m. MST with a chill in the air.

“I was a little surprised,” Poulter said. “I wasn’t expecting to be out first. I mean, 7:25, defending champion. How many people are going to be through the gates at 7:00 in the morning?”

He said that during his press conference. But what was his initial reaction?

“You don’t know what to know,” he said, although he soon obliged — “Holy ... is that what time I’m off?”

Nothing personal, Poults.

The starting times are based strictly on the player’s seeding and his location in the bracket.

The No. 12 seed overall has been the leadoff match every year since the Accenture Match Play Championship moved to Arizona in 2007.

Poulter is the No. 12 seed.

“I mean, it was early, you know?” Poulter said. “It’s cold.

I’m a Floridian, come on!”

Tiger Woods is the only player to successfully defend in the Match Play Championship.

Geoff Ogilvy came close, losing in the championship match to Henrik Stenson in 2007.

Three defending champions have been eliminated in the first round, all in the first three years of the tournament — Jeff Maggert, Darren Clarke and Steve Stricker. Maggert holds the dubious distinction of having the shortest tenure as the defending champion. He only made it 13 holes before losing to Bob Tway in 2000.

A British reporter jokingly suggested that Poulter could have the shortest defense by the clock. His match could end by 11 a.m.

“Could be on an airplane by mid-afternoon, I guess,” Poulter said. “Thanks for that.

I hadn’t really thought about that until you just mentioned it, but thanks, well done. I’d rather be having a nice salmon for a starter and filet steak for dinner tomorrow night.”

Congressional Mike Davis is more interested in risk-and-reward than par when it comes to the U.S. Open.

Davis, who has been in charge of setting up the U.S. Open courses since 2006, is the one who rejected a suggestion that the 18th hole at Torrey Pines be converted to a par 4 so the course would play to a 70. It led to one of the more dramatic finishes when Tiger Woods

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

The Bulletin continues a weekly Tee To Green feature in which we check in via e-mail with golf professionals at Central Oregon courses for an offseason update. This week we contacted Ron Buerger, director of golf at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond.

Q: A:

How was business in 2010?

Q:

Were any changes of note made to the facility in 2010?

Overall business was pretty flat in 2010. However, we did see healthy growth in our group and tournament business. I think many realized with our three-course offerings we can present a great value.

Travelers Continued from D1 “Yeah, we have fantastic golf courses, and you can come take advantage of as many as you want. But we also have dining, entertainment, brewpubs, and all the fantastic things that Central Oregon has to offer.”

Berg matches visiting golfers with their tastes. And no group is too small — or too big, for that matter.

Need a hotel? Berg will book it. A golf course selection? Of course. How about a brewery suggestion? Berg has that covered, too.

For locals, such decisions are easy work. But it is a bit more daunting for a traveler unfamiliar with the area.

“Sisters is so much different than Bend, which is so much different than Sunriver,” Berg observes. “It’s fun to be able to send people to an area where they’ll enjoy their trip.

“Some people don’t want to play a hot golf course, so they want shade,” Berg adds. “So setting them up at Juniper (Golf Course in Redmond, a desert course with relatively little shade) at 12 o’clock in August is probably not the best decision.”

Frank Chalfont, who lives near

A:

Winds of change have definitely blown through Eagle Crest when Jeld-Wen decided to sell and Northview Hotel Group purchased the resort back in November. There is a buzz in the air and the excitement level for the future is very high.

Q: A:

Are any changes and/or improvements to the facility scheduled for 2011?

We are probably another season away from anything big in terms of capitol improvements, but we are continuing on our positive trajectory of improved course conditioning. We’ve taken great strides over the past few years and golfers are in for a great experience.

Nashville, Tenn., was impressed with the golf Central Oregon had to offer when he made his first trip here more than two years ago.

But Chalfont made that trip with friends, sticking to the Sunriver Resort courses that he had already heard of before ever setting foot in Central Oregon.

On a return trip last summer, Chalfont wanted to expand to some new courses.

After seeing a Central Oregon Golf Trail’s online advertisement, he enlisted Berg for help.

Berg signed Chalfont up with tee times at three of the region’s best golf facilities: Pronghorn Club’s Nicklaus Course near Bend, Tetherow Golf Club in Bend, and the Club at Brasada Ranch in Powell Butte.

“Everything was taken care of,” says Chalfont. “He got us on the golf courses, set us up with the hotel. We had a wonderful time.”

Berg moved to Central Oregon in 1998 shortly after graduating from high school and after an older brother had moved to the area and talked Tommy into joining him.

A former high school golfer, Tommy Berg became an assistant pro first at Widgi Creek Golf Club in Bend and then at Awbrey Glen Golf Club, also in Bend.

Q: A:

What is your outlook for the Central Oregon golf industry in the season ahead?

My outlook continues to be positive for the future despite all the negative economic news and focus on the doom and gloom. Here at Eagle Crest, we’ve maintained a positive business position despite the economic challenge. We have a special and loyal customer base and we’ve strived to continually offer a great experience with value. I say this all while acknowledging the fact that the economy has provided significant hurdles for the local golf industry.

Here, he met the woman who would become his wife. And in 2006 the two moved to Seattle, where she would attend school.

But in 2008, after Berg worked for two years at Seattle Golf Club, the Bergs returned to Central Oregon.

This time, though, he wanted to start his own company.

“I wanted to try something else, and I had been thinking about it for quite a while in terms of trying to find something that was within the golf business but wasn’t necessarily being an assistant pro,” Berg says.

He started his company, Cascade Golf Events.

The first incarnation of the business was “geared toward doing events and setting up tournaments,” Berg says.

Then the company morphed to arranging travel plans for groups.

By last summer, Berg contracted with the Central Oregon Golf Trail to offer a full concierge

service, setting up complete itineraries.

“You’ve got to be flexible,” Berg says of the evolution of Cascade Golf Events. “It’s found its home, more or less.”

The Golf Trail was just beginning last spring to pool its money to market Central Oregon as a golf destination.

And Michael Marion, the former director of golf at Pronghorn, had suggested a concierge service, says Bruce Wattenburger, president of the Golf Trail and head pro at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond.

“Michael saw a lot of value in one-stop shopping, so to speak: ‘I am going to be in Central Oregon for three days. Where should I play, where can I stay, where can I eat?’ ” Wattenburger recalls.

And that idea built momentum.

“Tommy had just moved back down from Seattle and started his Cascade Golf Events,” Wattenburger says. “So it seemed like a pretty good fit.”

It appears the Golf Trail was right.

Berg, who still works as an assistant pro at Awbrey Glen during the summer, is also an avid skier and has fully embraced Central Oregon’s active outdoor lifestyle.

On a recent trip to the Seattle

Golf Show, where the Golf Trail displayed a booth touting the region’s golf, Berg was able to begin the itineraries of a group of two dozen Canadian golfers looking for a summer golf getaway.

Other groups from that show have contacted him as well, Berg says.

“It’s not a sales pitch once they have contacted us,” Berg says.

“Generally speaking, they’ve already made their decision.

The hope is to give (Central Oregon) one more competitive advantage.”

Berg plays down his influence with potential vacationers.

But whether he is sharing the maintenance schedules of each golf course to help travelers avoid aerated greens or booking a nice dinner along the Deschutes River, his information can make a trip better.

“I’m certainly not an expert in all, but I can get the question answered or get the people pointed in the right direction,” Berg says.

“It’s a pretty simple duty. It’s just a matter of providing a timely response to people to contact the Golf Trail and fulfilling what they want.”

SHOPPING IN BRIEF Wine distributor opens Bend retail space A longtime Bend-based wine distributor has opened a retail space, featuring wines from South America and Mexico.

Southern Wine Group Wine Outlet and Tasting Room opened quietly just after the new year near Old Mill Marketplace, at 550 S.W. Industrial Way, in Bend.

While Southern Wine Group has been in business for 11 years, focusing on wholesale sales of wines from countries like Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, it is now selling those Clipart.com wines through its retail space by the bottle and the case.

It’s carrying wines from other locales, as well.

Southern Wine Group Wine Outlet and Tasting Room is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Patrons can taste six different wines during business hours.

What to consider if your next bicycle is an electric one

By Heidi Hagemeier

Get smart phone apps for 2 blockbusters Stuck in an airport but want to watch a movie? Warner Bros. last week debuted two Applecompatible applications for two of its big hits, “Inception” and “The Dark Knight.”

The apps are designed for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. There are free versions that contain the first five minutes of the movies plus extras.

For instance, “Inception: App Edition,” has a behind-thescenes look at how director Christopher Nolan’s vision was brought to life. “The Dark Knight: App Edition” has three hours worth of bonus clips.

To download “The Dark Night” in its entirety is $9.99, the same as on iTunes, while “Inception” costs $11.99, $2 more than iTunes. However, the extras aren’t included in the iTunes purchase. Both apps also incorporate Facebook and Twitter so you can chat about the movies as they play.

PC Magazine, which follows technology, said the most interesting aspect of this development is “these apps leave out iTunes by enabling users to unlock the full feature film without leaving the app.”

o check off the many tasks of domestic life — transport children, pick up groceries, get to work — Bend resident Sterling McCord uses what he calls “The Daily Getter.”

It’s an unusual looking bicycle right off the bat, with its stretched frame, extra seat on the rear and large saddlebags for carrying goods. But what people don’t notice immediately is it also has a motor.

The bike is electric. McCord said The Daily Getter once had a stigma attached to it, but now more often it’s just plain drawing interest.

“People would say, ‘Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of a bike?’” he said. “Now they’re less that and just curious.”

Moon Creek prepares for merger with sale Find bargains on antique furniture, jewelry, clothing and more through the end of February as Moon Creek Antiques in Bend throws an all-inventory-must-go sale.

The shop, located at 210 N.W. Congress St., is merging with next-door neighbor Iron Horse Second Hand Store next month.

The two businesses will knock down the wall between them to form one large retail space. But much of Moon Creek Antiques’ inventory is being liquidated before the merger. The new larger store will take the Iron Horse name.

Moon Creek Antiques is open at least through Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Sterling McCord sells, converts and services electric bicycles from his shop, Bend Electric Bikes, near Old Mill Marketplace in Bend. He says interest in such battery-assisted bicycles is picking up.

• Different styles of electric bikes, P ag e E6 Battery-assisted bikes are poised to be the next market wave, say those in the industry.

More and more around the world, bicyclists are going electric.

Various models are available here in Central Oregon. At least two local businesses — McCord’s Bend Electric Bikes and Let It Ride — specialize in bicycles with batteries. Others are for sale at a traditional bike shop like Hutch’s Bicycles, which offers a model made by manufacturer Giant.

See Electric / E6

When considering an electric bike, here are a few questions to ask: • What are you going to use it for?

Pulling a bike trailer? Joy rides on Sunriver trails?

The answers will help determine quite a bit. You might want a higher-voltage battery if you want to pull a trailer or a bigger person, for instance. If you live on a hill, you may want to buy a throttle bike so you control the power and can help yourself more on the way up. The more powerful the battery and motor, the more expensive the bike. And your frame selection may change based on your answers. A cruiser will be easier to put on a bike rack and take out for fun. A bike with an extended frame that’s better for hauling will not fit on your car.

• What do I know about the company?

When preparing to buy, it’s worth looking up the company on the Internet, particularly since many of the electric bicycle brands are possibly ones you’ve never heard of before. By asking the bike seller and checking the Internet, you should be able to get a feel for how reputable the company is and how it responds when the bike needs service.

• What about servicing the bike?

Will the average bike shop be able to tighten the brakes and tune the fork? And if something in the drive system — the motor, battery and control mechanism — breaks, what happens then?

• Where will you be storing the battery?

If you have a heated garage, it will not matter if you buy a bike with the battery inside the frame. But if it’s frigid where you plan to store the bike, it may be better to remove the battery and take it inside.

• Are there any warranties?

Some manufacturers, for instance, offer a oneyear warranty on the battery. McCord said the majority of bike frames have about a five-year warranty and motors and controllers have a one- to twoyear warranty.

Buy in bulk to save, put better meat on the table

By Carrie Kirby Chicago Tribune

I care about the cost of the food I buy. They don’t call me The Frugalista for nothing. But I also care about feeding my family a healthful diet, and about being socially responsible with my shopping.

All these concerns come to a head with one food: meat.

Meat-buying choices have health implications. I’d like my kids to eat grass-fed beef to get those omega-3 fatty acids. I abhor the idea of their absorbing growth hormones or other drugs through their food.

Scent for the socialite

By Eric Wilson New York Times News Service

Pamela Gross was the last guest to arrive for lunch at the Palm Court of the Plaza Hotel on Jan. 25. She was 20 minutes late, actually.

“It’s not like I don’t have to work for a living,” she hooted to the designer Douglas Hannant, who was sandwiched between two of his best customers, Valesca GuerrandHermes and Jill Fairchild.

“Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford your clothes.”

Gross, a former editor of

Avenue magazine and now an editorial producer for “Piers Morgan Tonight,” was still holding on to her iPhone, to which she had attached a novelty handset that was designed to look circa 1990. The other guests — Frederick Anderson, Hannant’s chief executive, and Alexandra Lebenthal and Muffie Potter Aston, also longtime clients — commented on the oddity of it.

How on earth did she manage to carry that thing around in her purse?

Past same-sex relationship Host Wendy Williams to be a tricky topic of conversation truth buster in ‘Love Triangle’ Dear Abby: I am a woman who, after nearly 25 years, is back on the dating scene. Those years were spent in a same-sex relationship. I just happened to fall in love with a woman. I have custody of our child from the union.

I do not put a label on my sexual orientation. I would like to meet a nice man and pursue a new relationship. How do I let interested parties know about my past? Being back in the dating world is difficult enough without having to explain an unusual history.

— Back in the Game in Arizona Dear Back in the Game: The subject of where you have been for the last 25 years is bound to come up early in a relationship — or even before there’s a relationship. My advice is to just be honest. And may I be frank?

Some men will find the idea that you were with another woman titillating, while others may even find it a challenge. So don’t jump into anything too quickly.

Dear Abby: I’m a certified massage therapist who attended a reputable massage therapy school. I worked hard for my certification because my goal is to relieve people of chronic pain issues.

When I’m asked what I do for a living, men start making jokes that imply I’m the type of masseuse who massages naked men for their sexual pleasure. I find this more than a little insulting.

They think they’re being funny, but I don’t!

How can I discourage these innuendos? Should I ignore them and hope they get the point from the expression on my face?

— Offended Therapist in Michigan Dear Offended: When someone makes an offensive comment, I see nothing wrong in letting that person know he has

DEAR ABBY The subject of where you have been for the last 25 years is bound to come up early in a relationship — or even before there’s a relationship. My advice is to just be honest.

And may I be frank?

Some men will find the idea that you were with another woman titillating, while others may even find it a challenge. “rubbed” you the wrong way.

Tell him you studied hard to be in a healing profession — that the innuendo is insulting and not funny, and you’re not “that kind” of girl. Period.

Dear Abby: My hubby is a smoker. He was one when we married. He promised he’d quit before our wedding; it didn’t happen. When I became pregnant, he promised again he would stop. Didn’t happen.

Our son is now 2 years old and “Tom” still sneaks out to smoke, and I am sure he does at work, too. His mother passed a year ago from cancer — she was a longtime smoker, and his father has now been diagnosed with cancer. (He’s a longtime smoker, too.)

I am terrified for Tom and our family. What can I do other than threaten, cry, etc., to get him to stop?

— Kelly in Texas Dear Kelly: You’re right to be worried and you have my sympathy. Smoking cessation programs are available through the American Cancer Society, but work only if the smoker is willing to avail himself. Nothing you can do will “make” your husband give up tobacco. He has been nicotine-saturated from birth.

Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the U.S. If the fact that both his parents were diagnosed with cancer — probably from smoking — hasn’t convinced him to stop, frankly, nothing will.

You can protect your son by insisting that Tom not smoke in the boy’s presence — and when he’s old enough, that he understands that his father has an addiction and CANNOT stop, as a warning not to start. Then pray the “family tradition” isn’t passed down yet again.

‘Love Triangle’

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Wendy Williams will host a new series, “Love Triangle,” a game showtalk show crossover that will put participants to the test with a lie detector.

In the series debuting April 18 on the Game Show Network, Williams will act as adviser to a person trying to choose one relationship over another.

Williams, host of a daily syndicated TV talk show, said she won’t change her style for the GSN series but will rely on humor as she tries to help people untangle romantic quandaries.

“I never consider a relationship a game, but certainly there will be some fun injected into the show as people try to help themselves and I guide them in making the best choice in their relationship,” Williams said Thursday.

She’s eager to get help from the lie detector device, dubbed the “Truthbuster,” that will be used

When: April 18 Where: Game Show Network

The Associated Press ile photo

Wendy Williams, a daily syndicated TV talk show host, has been tapped by Game Show Network to host “Love Triangle.”

The show debuts April 18. as people answer such questions as, “Do you want marriage and children?”

“I would give everybody a lie detector test,” from her 9-yearold son to TV’s “The Bachelor,” if

she had her way, Williams said.

GSN programming executive Kelly Goode said “Love Triangle” fits in with the channel’s other dating and relationship shows, “Baggage” and “The Newlywed Game.”

Williams is having a big year so far. It was announced last month that “The Wendy Williams Show” was renewed for a third season.

GSN has ordered 32 half-hour episodes of “Love Triangle,” with Williams set to fly from New York to Los Angeles to begin taping this weekend. She and her husband, Kevin Hunter, are among the executive producers on the series from 3 Ball Productions-Eyeworks USA, whose other series include NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.”

Valesca Guerrand-Hermes samples a new fragrance by designer Douglas Hannant on Jan. 25. Hannant has carved out a niche with those socialites who once represented the haute front row at Fashion Week.

Scent Continued from E1 There’s a metaphor here. Almost everything in fashion now is driven by youth: young designers, teenage bloggers, Gossip Girls. But whatever happened to the women before them, those socialites who once represented the haute front row at Fashion Week? Hannant, who showed his collection Feb. 15, may not have the buzz, but he has carved out a niche by seducing those who have been elbowed aside by the boho It girls. They want to feel modern and fashionable, too, but still do things in an oldfashioned way, like attaching a headset to an iPhone.

He had assembled these women for a reason that was itself sort of antiquated: to introduce his first fragrance, made by Robert Piguet (the French company best known for the flowery classic Fracas), passing the bottle around, spritzing the air to entice them, sort of like Coco Chanel once did at a dinner in Cannes in the 1920s to promote Chanel No. 5. Who even knew designers still made fragrances? Isn’t that the realm of celebrities?

“When you all try this,” Hannant said, “the top notes you will smell first are gardenia, orange blossom and pear.”

“Love it,” Aston said.

“The base of the fragrance is tuberose,” Hannant continued, “and then as it dries, you will start to get the bottom notes, which are sandalwood, white musk and jasmine.”

“I’ll bathe in it,” Gross said.

“It is very, very feminine, which is my girl,” he said. “And light! I don’t want to smell a woman when she gets on an elevator.”

“I smell it already,” said Fairchild, whose father, John Fairchild, is the retired publisher of Women’s Wear Daily.

“The fruit makes it fresh, then the bottom notes balance the floral,” Hannant said.

“Yes, just like us, young and fresh,” Guerrand-Hermes said.

“Don’t print that!”

As scent, and the hyperbole, settled down, Gross, perhaps in a Socratic mood, asked the table a question: “If you liked two fragrances just as much, would you buy the one with the bottle that you liked more?”

Well, yes, Aston said, but there are always atomizers for unattractive bottles.

“I would,” Gross said. “I’ll tell you something else. I’d pick the one that’s more expensive, too.

It’s a psychological thing.”

The mood shifted slightly, as

the others attempted to gauge whether she was serious.

“So then you’re totally influenced by price?” Aston asked.

“What I am saying is that I think marketing is a big part of the psychology of buying,” Gross said. “How you price something gives it a value in the marketplace.”

“Well, I agree with that, but at the end of the day,” Fairchild said, “you should end up with the one you love, regardless of price.”

Here, Hannant wisely interrupted, asking the women if the scent, having by now settled on their skin, had changed in quality.

“It does smell different,” Aston said. “That’s where a fragrance is like a great bottle of wine. When you pour it in a glass, you know it’s going to taste great, but as the wine opens up, it takes on a fuller, richer body. It’s almost like a woman who has grown up. She’s beautiful in her 20s, but she’s far more mysterious and interesting in her 40s.”

But Gross was not finished.

“I’m not talking about ripping people off,” she said. “I’m talking about pricing a prestige product.

It’s marketing.”

Lebenthal, who runs a financial management company and is the author of a recent novel called “The Recessionistas,” pointed out that the fragrance industry has changed with the profusion of celebrity scents.

“The fact that at Christmastime, they show the Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds commercial, the Britney Spears commercial and the Charlize Theron for Dior commercial, all these run together and you know they are being marketed to the guy who needs to buy a relatively nice, inexpensive present,” she said.

“And then, it says, ‘Sold at Rite Aid.’” Hannant said he was not interested in mass distribution.

“That’s not your style,” Gross agreed. “You are launching off of your fashion. Britney’s launching off of her lifestyle, and who wants Britney’s lifestyle? Who wants to end up in rehab? I’m just saying.”

“Eau de rehab!” Anderson suggested. Perhaps things will change, the women mused. The word “luxury” is now so overused that it has lost all meaning, which, they reasoned, signals an end to reckless consumption and a return to fashions and fragrance that are more exclusive, like Hannant’s.

“Less is more,” Gross said, “and I think it’s great, by the way.

How many fragrances can you wear? How many couture dresses? Where are we all going?”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011: Follow your instincts this year. Your feelings will guide you. As a result, you will hit many home runs. It is important to be in tune with yourself. Once you achieve that level of self-understanding, your year will flow. A new friendship could play a significant role in your life, helping you realize a long-desired wish. Your popularity soars. You easily could meet someone quite special this year. This person will demonstrate real caring. If you are attached, the two of you gain through socializing as a couple more. CAPRICORN warms up when with you.

A baby born today, Feb. 23, 2011, has a Pisces Sun and a Moon in Scorpio.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Others provoke some unusually strong responses. A boss, parent or supervisor likes your style. A meeting provides important feedback. One-on-one relating takes you in a new direction.

If you want some answers, say less. Someone will start talking.

Tonight: With a favorite person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Defer to a partner or loved one. He or she feels the need for your support and, above all, approval. Allowing others to assume a stronger role demonstrates confidence and caring. Your mind goes into overdrive. Sort through your thoughts first. Tonight: Go with another person’s ideas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH You focus at such a level that others cannot break your concentration. Clearly a partner supports you in a venture that could take a lot of time. Is there any way that you could include him or her in this project? Tonight: Choose a tension-breaker.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You come up with answers quickly and efficiently.

You might wonder when enough is enough. Clearly someone admires — if not cares about — you. Share more of your imagination and creativity. Tonight: Let fun in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your steadiness helps. In fact, your mere presence helps. Give others the support they need, and let go of your opinions for the moment.

Positive vibes create more positive vibes. A lunch or meeting could develop into a social happening.

Tonight: Order in your favorite pizza.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Approach others with confidence and caring. Share more of your ideas that you usually keep to yourself. A conversation could help a personal relationship more than you think. Make calls; schedule meetings. Remain positive.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Money is very important, as you like to indulge in frivolous items to express your affection for others, as well as for yourself. A family member would appreciate just a card far more than you think.

Listen to your inner voice with this person. Tonight: Your treat, and it doesn’t have to break the bank!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHHH Your sense of direction emerges. By softening your style just a little, your impact will increase.

Touch base with a sister or brother.

Give that neighbor the extra time.

Your caring builds more open bonds.

You don’t need to always be stern!

Tonight: Flirting over dinner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Sometimes the less said the better. You see a loved one or financial situation in a much different light. You could be overwhelmed by another person’s feelings. There are some people you can influence only through an exchange of feelings.

They are not moved otherwise.

Tonight: Follow your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Someone thinks you are the cat’s meow. Though it might be nice to do no wrong, a realistic appraisal might feel better ultimately. Your inner transformation starts breaking through.

You won’t evoke the same responses anymore. Tonight: You are the party!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You handle the limelight well.

Others are extremely sympathetic and understanding. You still might be well advised to restrain your feelings. You don’t need to share all your thoughts, either. Honor your image. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Stretch your mind if you are confused. Give up your preordinate thinking, and try to open your mind.

Where might someone else be coming from? Travel, foreigners and mental growth might mix together in an odd manner. Tonight: Let your imagination choose. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

E6 Wednesday, February 23, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Electric Continued from E1 The appeal varies depending on the customer, as McCord said they are young and old, fit and a bit rusty. But one concept always piques interest.

“I always tell people I took this bike from here up to the top of Pilot Butte and back,” said Kevin Rea, owner of Let It Ride. “I had to pedal, but I didn’t break a sweat.”

For certain segments of the biking market, electric models may be the perfect fit. Consumers just need to assess their lifestyle and ask a few basic questions to know if the next bike added to the garage should be electric.

How they work Many electric bikes look much like an average bike. The difference, McCord said, is electric bikes have a battery, a motor and a control mechanism.

There isn’t a standardized build for an electric bike, so the motor can be on the hub of the front wheel or the back. The battery can be inside or outside the frame, and also can be attached on different areas of the frame.

The control mechanism can be a manual, throttle-style like on a motorcycle or activated by the pedals.

The idea behind them, however, is the same: Electric bikes provide the rider a little extra juice when needed, and they do so almost silently.

Some pedal-activated bikes, McCord said, kick in only when the rider is going uphill. The pedals sense the torque and engage the battery and motor to assist.

Others give the rider sole control of when to hit the power. A cyclist could conceivably not use electricity the whole ride, pedal and add power at the same time to combine energy, or zoom solely on electric, at least for about 20 miles until the battery needs recharging.

On electricity alone, the bikes go up to 20 mph. Any faster and federal law says it’s no longer a bike, but a motor vehicle that needs to be registered, insured and stay on the road. The law doesn’t prohibit faster speeds if the extra power comes from pedaling.

Depending on the model, an electric bike can be attached to a rack or parked in the garage.

They’re more difficult to move around, however, because they are heavier. An electric bike can easily weigh 50 to 60 pounds, 10 to 20 pounds more than a bike would weigh without the additional components.

The only other real additional bit of work for the electric bike owner is to make sure to plug in the battery.

The setup comes with a relatively long cord, sometimes stretching to 10 feet. On some bikes, a battery the size of a loaf of bread is easily removed and carried inside. McCord said he likes this better than batteries that are fixed on the bike or inside the frame, because prolonged cold weather is hard on batteries and many garages around Central Oregon aren’t heated.

The batteries are also criti-

Meat Continued from E1 On the social responsibility side, I don’t want to buy from a factory farm like those depicted in the documentary “Food, Inc.,” which abuse animals and spew toxins into the environment.

The most responsible — and cheapest — solution would be to go without meat entirely.

But my family doesn’t want to go without. Instead, I cut back on the meat I serve, and put the savings toward bulk meat purchases.

My household split a side of beef with my parents, and we found that we both improved the quality of the meat on our table and saved money at the same time. Other families who took the bulk-meat plunge report the same double win.

Ed and Leah Payne, of Niles, Ill., paid $650 for a side of beef this year — about $4.20 per pound of hormone-free, antibiotic-free beef. That was more than they would usually pay for ground beef, which made up about half the meat. But because the cost is the same for every cut, Ed said, “you’re paying $4 a pound for steak and roast, and that’s not as easy to come by at that price.”

The Paynes found their provider on Craigslist. They drove halfway to his Michigan farm to meet up and exchange money for meat.

I bought my beef for about

INTERNAL BATTERY

CONVERSION KIT

This electric bicycle has the battery located inside the larger tube at right on its steel frame.

This is a benefit for durability. But batteries should not be left in cold for extended periods, so a bike like this would be better in heated storage.

The BionX is a type of electric conversion kit. With a kit, most any bike, such as this Surly, can be converted to an electric bike.

Let It Ride owner Kevin Rea stands with his electric cruiser bikes at his showroom located inside of Bend Mapping and Blueprint in downtown Bend on Tuesday. Rea says interest is growing in electric bikes. cal because unlike hybrid cars, for instance, biking doesn’t recharge them, McCord said.

Some models recharge a bit from braking, but braking still provides less than 10 percent of the bike’s total energy. Most of the juice comes from being plugged into the grid.

“You need to know how to take care of a battery,” he said.

The battery recharges in about four hours, said Rea, whose business is located in the same space as Bend Mapping and Blueprint in downtown Bend. While 20 miles is tossed out as the distance a bike can go on electric between charges, that varies based on how the bike is used and the size of the cyclist.

As with many road bikes and mountain bikes, electric bikes aren’t cheap. A conversion of a regular bike to electric starts from $600 to $1,000, McCord said. A high quality electric bike starts at around $2,000.

Like other pieces of machinery, the parts on electric bikes can wear out. A new electric bike battery costs about $700, Rea said. But getting to that point usually takes a while, as the batteries are expected to last 15,000 to 20,000 miles.

Who’s going electric?

Rea said electric bikes aren’t new but have gained traction in recent years. He credited improving battery technology, as some of the newer lithium-based batteries allow electric bikes to be lighter.

Their popularity is greatest in China, where in 2008 roughly 90 percent of the world’s electric bikes were made and sold, according to market analyst publication Electric Bikes Worldwide Reports.

Yet Europeans are also showing strong interest, and sales in the U.S. were expected to approach 300,000 sold during 2009-10.

Aside from changing technology, there are other reasons electric bikes have fresh appeal. Rea named two groups of consumers who are most interested in electric bikes.

The first, he said, are the commuters. Fluctuating gas prices and an interest in green living draw those who want to cut down on driving, Rea said. They want to bike to work but don’t want to be sweaty when they get there.

Also, said McCord, they are doing their own version of “The Daily Getter,” and want to be

5 steps 1. Buy a chest freezer. Used is fine, as long as it’s not so inefficient that it drives up your electricity bill. Stick a thermometer in there to make sure it’s maintaining the proper temperature before entrusting it with a large amount of meat. And before you buy, make sure you have a reliable power supply for a freezer.

2. Find a seller. Try EatWild.com or Craigslist.org, or ask at your farmer’s market.

3. Understand the price. If you are quoted a “hanging weight” price, know that the final price of the packaged meat will be around 30 percent higher. Ask if there is a slaughter fee, delivery fee or any other extras.

4. Arrange for meat pickup or delivery.

5. Fire up the grill!

$3.15 a pound from a nice fellow in Wisconsin named Lars, whom I found by word of mouth. Lars is not certified organic, nor are his cattle 100 percent grass-fed, but he doesn’t use hormones or antibiotics (unless the cattle get sick), and I liked the caring way he spoke about his small herd.

As a bargain hunter, I usually buy conventional meat at the grocery store only when the price sinks to $1.99 a pound or less. But I have trouble finding antibiotic-free, hormone-free beef for less than $6 a pound

WHERE’S THE MOTOR? With many of the electric bikes now on the market, the answer is in the wheel. The motors aren’t very big, however, and when engaged are quiet.

FOR CARGO ON THE GO This electric bicycle is designed specifically for hauling loads. Made by a Dutch company, Bend Electric Bikes owner Sterling McCord said such models are popular in Europe.

REMOVABLE BATTERY The Hebb electric bicycle carries its removable battery beneath a flip-up seat for easy access. The battery can then be taken anywhere to recharge.

able to pick up their kids from preschool with a bike trailer yet need to be able to pull it up to the West Hills.

That’s what Pat Malendoski was looking for when he got a conversion kit about four years ago. He lives on Awbrey Butte in Bend and believed getting an electric bike was just the push he needed to prevent him from driving down just for a gallon of milk.

“Until I tried it, I looked at it sort of like a chiropractor,” he said.

“Then I tried it and I was hooked.

Kind of like when I turned 38 and tried the chiropractor.”

The other market, Rea said, is the roughly 79 million aging baby boomers. Some want to ride bikes for fun but like the assurance of a bit of assistance when they need it. Others are recovering from surgeries.

One aspect of the market McCord has found interesting in his three years in business is that in bike-crazy Bend, the majority of his customers aren’t just adding another cycle to their stable. This might be their first real foray into biking.

“The majority of my customers aren’t riding bikes right now,” he said, adding that when they buy an electric bike, they tend to ride it more than any other bicycle they’ve owned.

The best way to know if it’s time to buy an electric bike, both McCord and Rea said, is to try them out.

Just as with nonelectric bikes, they come in different shapes and sizes. Rea specializes in cruisers. McCord carries cruis-

— and that’s just the hamburger.

By buying in bulk, I was able to afford steaks as well as burgers.

We had to foot the cost of an extra freezer to store our meat. However, I calculated that we saved about enough on the meat to cover the cost of the freezer. Compared with buying hormone-free, antibiotic-free meat at farmers market or grocery store prices, our savings was more than $300.

I can’t guarantee that you’ll find a farmer as affordable (or as affable) as Lars; an online search revealed some growers selling beef for more and some for less. A great place to look is the website eatwild.com, which lists farms selling grass-fed beef by state.

Comparing prices can be confusing because farmers give the price in “hanging weight” (the weight of the carcass before butchering). Your final price per pound will depend on the cuts you choose, said Michelle Dietzler, who raises cattle in Elkhorn, Wis. Her customers pay $4.05 per pound hanging weight for a side, which translates to around $6 a pound when it’s ready to go in your freezer. The prices I quoted for my purchase and the Paynes’ were for packaged meat.

Dietzler Farms takes orders year-round, and usually delivers a half or whole carcass within a month after it’s ordered. But some smaller farms say they need orders as long as 18 months in advance.

ers, but also other varieties, from frames for people who want to haul goods or children to frames that fold up into the size of a suitcase for throwing it in the back of the Yaris.

To that end, while both McCord and Rea let people get on the bikes and take them around the block, McCord rents bikes.

Rea intends to do the same, and to even expand to Bend cycle tours this summer.

Once people understand it, they both said, they’re bound to want to do it again.

“It’s the wave that’s coming,” Rea said.
