More rules for medical marijuana? By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — Changes could be coming for Bend’s newly established cannabis clubs depending on a slew of legislation that would affect Oregon’s Medical Marijuana Act. More than a dozen House bills and a couple of SenIN THE ate bills are LEGISLATURE focused on further regulating the medical marijuana program. Since voters approved the program in 1998, the number of people using medical marijuana cards have increased due to a lack of regulation, some lawmakers say. Targets include preventing anyone with a drug conviction from possessing a medical marijuana card and imposing a tax on medical marijuana clubs. And some lawmakers want to give law enforcement more power and clearer guidelines to regulate the cardholders and clubs. In 2000, there were about 600 Oregonians with medical marijuana cards. In 2005, there were 13,055. This year, there are 38,269 medical marijuana cardholders in Oregon, according to information from the Department of Human Services, which runs the program. Voters approved the program in 1998. See Marijuana / A4

Facing a nearly $10 million budget shortfall, the Redmond School District may have no choice but to lay off teachers. In deciding which employees to dismiss, district administrators might consider merit as well as seniority. Redmond’s teachers union is worried enough about layoffs that it has asked the district to prepare a list of teachers who could be let go. In previous years, the district could have created a prioritized list using the experience of teachers and the areas they’re licensed to teach. In 2009, the district cut nearly 60 teaching positions, some through attrition and others according to experience and licensure. If layoffs do happen this time around, factoring in merit could make the decisions significantly more complicated. But the district hopes the process would leave as many of its best teachers in the classroom as possible. “The school board is looking to us to more strongly ensure we are absolutely doing what it takes to keep the most effective teachers in front of our students,” Human Resources Director Lynn Evans said. “We need to make maybe more careful decisions about who is (laid off) and who is not.” For more than a decade, state law has allowed school officials to consider merit in layoffs, but a majority of districts do not do so, said Jessica Knieling, the labor and employment services director at the Oregon School Boards Association.

Oakland’s plan to tax pot farms hits roadblock By Malia Wollan New York Times News Service

OAKLAND, Calif. — For a brief, smoky moment last fall, this economically challenged city seemed poised to become the nation’s most aggressive when it comes to growing and taxing medical marijuana. Those hopes have been dimmed considerably in recent weeks, though, since an exchange of letters between the city attorney and federal law enforcement officials has made it exceedingly clear that Washington will not tolerate plans for the large-scale marijuana farms the City Council approved last July. City officials had hoped to use the massive indoor growing facilities to raise some $38 million annually in fees and taxes at a time when the city is struggling with a $31 million deficit and 17 percent unemployment.

Top officer to lose child in action fights U.S. indifference to war By Greg Jaffe The Washington Post

Narayan Mahon / New York Times News Service

Before he addressed the crowd that had assembled in the St. Louis Hyatt Regency ballroom last November, Lt. Gen. John Kelly had one request. “Please don’t mention my son,” he asked the Marine Corps officer introducing him. Four days earlier, 2nd Lt. Robert Kelly, 29, had stepped on a land mine while leading a platoon of Marines in southern Afghanistan. He was killed instantly. Without referring to his son’s death, the general delivered a passionate and at times angry speech about the military’s sacrifices and its troops’ growing sense of isolation from society. “Their struggle is your struggle,” he told the ballroom crowd of former Marines and business people. “If anyone thinks you can somehow thank them for their service and not support the cause for which they fight — our country — these people are lying to themselves. ... More important, they are slighting our warriors and mocking their commitment to this nation.” Kelly is the most senior U.S. military officer to lose a son or daughter in Iraq or Afghanistan. He was giving voice to a growing concern among soldiers and Marines: The American public is largely unaware of the price its military pays to fight the United States’ distant conflicts.

The jabs Erin Parker has heard about her job have stunned her. “Oh you pathetic teachers,” read the online comments and placards of counterdemonstrators. “You feel punched in the stomach,” said Parker, a high school science teacher in Madison, Wis., where public employees’ two-week occupation of the State Capitol has stalled but not deterred the governor’s plan to try to strip them of bargaining rights. Parker, a second-year teacher making $36,000, fears that under the proposed legislation class sizes would rise and higher contributions to her benefits would knock her out of the middle class. Around the country, many teachers see demands to cut their income, benefits and say in how schools are run through collective bargaining as attacks not just on their livelihoods, but on their value to society. Even in a country that is of two minds about teachers — Americans glowingly recall the ones who changed their lives, but think the job with its summers off is cushy — education experts say teachers have rarely been the targets of such scorn from politicians and voters.

Oregon universities seeking more control Report: By Tim Fought The Associated Press

SALEM — Oregon’s public universities have asked the Legislature for more power to manage their affairs as they face a future that promises fewer taxpayer dollars and increased pressure to raise tuition. A key senator, Democrat Mark Hass of Beaverton, said Tuesday more control for the universities could come in a measure lawmakers have been working on for more than a year. It would allow the schools greater control over broad areas such as personnel, construction and fees. The committee Hass chairs also heard proposals Tuesday to grant even greater authority to the University of Oregon. The measure sought by University President Richard LaRiviere would endow the school with $800 million and make it an independent public body like the Port of Portland or Oregon

Health & Science University. But the rest of the higher education system opposes the Eugene school’s proposal, and its prospects are uncertain. If voters agreed to the debt, the state would pay it off over 30 years but would quit appropriating money to the Eugene school. The university would be governed by its own board of directors. Those are big differences between LaRiviere’s proposal and the more modest measure that Hass and the university system back. But both have as a premise that giving the schools more authority would help them manage costs and, so, keep tuition under control.

Broad support Hass said giving all the schools more authority has broad support and doesn’t necessarily preclude the University

of Oregon’s winning even greater autonomy. “I do think we need to do this one first, though,” he said.

Governor’s plan Legislators also are dealing with yet a third ground-breaking proposal, Gov. John Kitzhaber’s idea for a kindergarten-to-grad school board that he controls, managing all of public education. It’s not clear how the two university proposals would mesh with that. The governor’s new press secretary, Christine Miles, said he hasn’t endorsed either — nor rejected them. She said he believes the bill to give the schools greater powers is “moving in the right direction,” and the University of Oregon’s proposal for independence is intriguing. Tuition charges that are leaving families and graduates deep in debt are foremost in the minds

of many of the players in the debate over higher education — as a piece of testimony Tuesday highlighted. LaRiviere said he would support an amendment that Kitzhaber had been consulted about: a cap on undergraduate tuition increases of 5 percent a year. The Legislature and governor would have to approve anything higher — a significant curb on the autonomy the university proposes. The idea of autonomy has drawn opposition from student organizations, and student leaders at Eugene, as well as public employees and the six other universities in the system. Jill Eiland, a member of the state Board of Higher Education, said the board opposed a one-school approach and said Oregon should “find ways to improve our entire system of higher education and not take it apart piece by piece.”

Asian students also face hurdles By Jennifer Oldham McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — Angela Lo grew up in a strict household, under constant pressure to get grades good enough for admission to a top university. In stark contrast to stereotypes of Asian student success perpetuated in Amy Chua’s new bestseller “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” Lo put off going to college and instead got a job. “I felt that by me not succeeding, I kind of let my parents down,” said Lo, who at 30 still lives with her Chinese-American parents and works as a dishwasher. “As a kid, I felt like garbage.” She said she recently enrolled at Pasadena City College to get her parents off her back. Like Lo, about half the nation’s Asian-American students enroll in community college, where they often struggle to pay for classes and scramble to find room in remedial courses. They get far less attention than overachievers like Chua’s highly micromanaged daughters, whose rigid childhood is described in a book that’s sparking debates about AsianAmerican student success. With 48 distinct groups living in the U.S. that speak more than 300 languages, many Asian-Americans don’t neatly fit the “model minority” stereotype of highachieving, straight-A students. “There’s such despair, alienation and unhappiness in students who have failed to live up to those expectations,” said Hugo Schwyzer, a history and gender studies professor at Pasadena City College, a public, open-admissions, two-year school where about a third of the student body is Asian. “I have gay and lesbian Chinese students. I have overweight Chinese girls. I have Chinese students of barely average intelligence who work hard and get C’s.”

Mandy Fyola, 19, is in the midst of her gap year, working at her parents’ helicopter flight school Rotors of the Rockies in Broomfield, Colo.

Many youths flourish in ‘gap year’ By Kevin Simpson The Denver Post

DENVER — To Mandy Fyola, it seemed like everyone at Eaton High School in northern Colorado had the same advice for departing seniors: Go straight to college — otherwise, life gets in the way, and you may never get your degree. Like most of her peers, she judged it sound counsel. But as Fyola realized that she had no idea what she wanted to study after graduation, she hatched another plan: the gap year. Instead of applying immediately to college, she decided to fill the gap between high school and college by working in the family business and figuring out where her interests lie. “High school is its own little world,” says Fyola, 19, who helps out at Rotors of the Rockies, a helicopter flight school in Broomfield, Colo. “You get out into the adult world, and it’s different. This year has opened my eyes to the world around me.” That’s the central philosophy behind the gap year, a decadesold concept that more recently has spawned a small industry of counselors and program providers. The idea also has won big fans in college-admissions offices. Once primarily an option for affluent families that could afford to send their kids trekking across the globe, the gap year now also is viewed as a potentially money-saving oasis as students fine-tune their interests, sock away cash and gain the maturity to squeeze the most out of college. “On a very practical level, they’re building a résumé be-

“On a very practical level, they’re building a résumé before college, a sense of handling themselves in the world. And some things they do can lead to major focus down the line. You can save a lot of time and money taking a gap year.” — Holly Bull, president, Center for Interim Programs

fore college, a sense of handling themselves in the world,” says Holly Bull, president of the Center for Interim Programs, a New Jersey-based company that has been helping kids bridge the gap year since 1980. “And some things they do can lead to major focus down the line. You can save a lot of time and money taking a gap year.”

‘Aberrations’ When Bull’s father started arranging gap-year activities for students, his clientele came mostly from exclusive private schools — and the term “gap year” hadn’t even been coined. The kids who participated were “aberrations,” Bull says, whereas now the company counsels upward of 250 students a year. Her clients run the gamut from kids who have learning differences or are simply tired of the classroom to high-achievers bound for top colleges looking for a change to avoid burnout. “The problems start to show up if somebody hasn’t thought it out, has lots of down time or is not doing enough,” Bull says. “That’s pretty deadly.” Parents can spend thousands of dollars on gap-year programs — or nothing at all.

Mark Montgomery, who runs an educational-consulting firm in Denver, says there are good options on both ends of the financial spectrum for kids looking to mature and gain a sense of independence before heading off to college. But if a student decides to stay at home during a gap year, Montgomery suggests writing a contract with parents to set the ground rules and define the trade-off between greater independence, such as relaxed curfew, and obligations, such as contributing to the household finances. He figures at least 25 percent of his counseling clients consider a gap year, and about 10 to 15 percent follow through.

Avoid distractions “College has a zillion temptations,” Montgomery says. “Some kids who take a year and then go to college with a little independence don’t head for the nearest keg. And they’re more directed academically because they’ve spent some time thinking and growing up.” Harvard University officially encourages incoming students to defer enrollment for a year to work or pursue some other

activity. Princeton offers a structured “bridge year” that directs students toward public service abroad. At Colorado College, vice president for enrollment Mark Hatch has seen the number of kids taking a gap year fluctuate between 24 and 40 among an incoming class of more than 500. He’d like to see those gap numbers double or even triple. “I’ve never met a kid who’s taken a semester or a year off between high school and college who hasn’t had their priorities in place and been more grounded and focused — more hungry,” he says.

‘Definitive plans’ Of about 21,000 freshman applicants, the University of Colorado gets up to 400 requests for deferred admission — a ratio that has remained fairly stable over the last few years. “What has changed is much more definitive plans about what a student wants to do during that year,” says director of admissions Kevin MacLennan. The university endorses a gap year if an applicant “demonstrates a good, purposeful reason.” Jim Rawlins, executive director of admissions at Colorado State University, estimates that roughly 500 of 16,000 students in the current applicant pool graduated from high school a year earlier — not a huge number, but more than he expected and “a great thing.”

Preconceived notions about race and academic achievement mask the many challenges facing Asian-American students, where there’s a glaring disparity between students who excel versus those who don’t even graduate from high school. For example, it’s true that Asian-Americans are disproportionately represented at elite U.S. universities. Even though they account for just 5 percent of the nation’s population, they encompass about 20 percent of enrollments at Ivy League institutions such as Harvard, where more than 30,000 students vied for 1,664 spots in last year’s freshman class. Asian-Americans made up 22 percent of admitted students last year. But it’s also true that the academic performance of Asians isn’t uniformly high. This reality is in plain view in California, which boasts the nation’s largest Asian-American population — an estimated 5 million people, or about 13 percent of California’s inhabitants. Here, Asians scooped up twice as many bachelor’s degrees from the University of California system as their white counterparts in 2008, according to a 2010 report, “The State of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Education in California.” Yet 40 percent to 45 percent of those belonging to less wellknown Asian ethnic groups — such as Hmong, Cambodians and Laotians — don’t even have high school diplomas, the report found. “There are a lot of misconceptions about who Asian-American students are, and this is true in institutions that have large concentrations of Asians and ones where there are very few Asians,” said Robert Teranishi, associate professor of higher education at New York University. “It results in being omitted from a lot of broader discourse about the needs of these students. They remain invisible in a lot of ways.”

T S Rebels repel Gadhafi forces in key oil port By Leila Fadel The Washington Post

BREGA, Libya — Rebels fought off a coordinated assault by military jets and armored ground forces near a key oil port Wednesday, thwarting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s most significant attempt yet to retake eastern territory that he lost last week amid a nationwide uprising. Despite aged equipment and little training, a ragtag team of thousands that rushed to the port city of Brega repelled government forces and retook the town after setbacks earlier in the day. Emboldened by their victory, the rebels planned to advance west and on to Gadhafi’s stronghold of Tripoli, the capital, some said. “He has the force, but we have the heart,” said Suleiman Abdel, a surgeon and, now, a rebel. The government’s assault on Brega, which included multiple airstrikes, showed that Gadhafi still has substantial military re-

sources at his disposal and that he is willing to use them. Even as the battle unfolded, Gadhafi pledged in a defiant televised address to “fight to the last drop of Libyan blood.” The day’s clashes suggested that in the absence of outside intervention, Libya could be headed toward a long and bloody stalemate. Gadhafi holds Tripoli and other western cities, the rebels control the east and neither side appears able to decisively shift the balance. “He showed he still has the power to inflict serious damage on the protesters and the places they control,” said Ibrahim Sharqieh of the Brookings Doha Center. “If he is willing to use the air force, this could drag on for months.” Gadhafi appeared on state television Wednesday to deny the existence of a rebellion in Libya. During a nearly threehour address, the leader dismissed the unrest as an isolated attack by Islamic terrorists.

Gates warns of risk in no-flight zone WASHINGTON — With rebels in Libya calling for Western airstrikes on forces supporting Moammar Gadhafi, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates warned Congress on Wednesday that even a more modest effort to establish a no-flight zone over Libya would have to begin with an attack on the country’s air defenses and would require “a big operation in a big country.” Gates’ caution illustrates the chasm between what the rebels and some members

of Congress are calling for and what President Barack Obama appears willing to do. Obama and his aides have argued that it is not yet clear that the insurgents need the help. Now the White House finds itself caught between Obama’s own sense of caution and critics on both the left and the right who believe that the president should be more forceful in aiding the rebels, protecting the population and helping oust Gadhafi. — New York Times News Service

GOP wins Gunman kills U.S. airmen budget skirmish at airport By Andrew Taylor The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans won an early round Wednesday in their fight to shrink the government, pushing $4 billion in spending cuts through Congress in a bill that puts off the possibility of a government shutdown for two weeks. The Senate cleared the temporary spending measure by an overwhelming 91-9 vote after the House passed it with a large bipartisan vote Tuesday. Obama signed it Wednesday afternoon. After initially being rejected last week by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the two-week cuts written by House Republicans shot through the Senate with minimal opposition on the right and left. The upcoming talks, to be led by Vice President Joe Biden, promise to be far more difficult. Those talks could begin as early as today. Republicans who outmaneuvered Senate Democrats and the White House in orchestrating passage of the two-week measure called on Democrats to offer a longerterm solution of their own in response to a $1.2 trillion GOP spending measure that passed the House last month. The insertion of Biden into the talks was seen as evidence that the White House wants to regain the initiative. White House chief of staff William Daley and budget director Jacob Lew, who will also participate, held an early evening meeting Wednesday in the Capitol with House Democratic leaders.

FRANKFURT — Two U.S. airmen on their way to Afghanistan were killed and two others wounded Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on a U.S. military bus at the Frankfurt airport, according to U.S. military officials in Europe and the German police. U.S. officials in Washington said there appeared to be no immediate evidence tying the gunman to any terrorist organization. The German police did not initially classify the attack as an act of terrorism but said they were still investigating. The suspect arrested at the scene is a 21-year-old Kosovar who lives in Frankfurt, according to a police spokesman, Manfred Fuellhardt. The police charged him with murder and attempted murder, but they did not rule out terrorism charges. He was being questioned at the Frankfurt police headquarters. The Associated Press reported that his uncle in Kosovo identified him as Arid Uka and said he was born and raised in Germany after his parents moved there about 40 years ago. The German police, however, said he was born in Kosovo, The AP said. The uncle, Rexhep Uka, said that the family was Muslim and that Arid Uka worked at the Frankfurt Airport. That could not be immediately confirmed. The names of the dead were being withheld pending notification of the families.

B FDA pulls some cold remedies off market

Albert Snyder speaks to the media during a news conference following the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church on Wednesday in York, Pa.

Justices rule in favor of Westboro Baptist First Amendment protects protests at vet funerals By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The First Amendment protects hateful protests at military funerals, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in an 8-1 decision. “Speech is powerful,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority. “It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain.” But under the First Amendment, he went on, “we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.” Instead, the national commitment to free speech, he said, requires protection of “even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate.” The decision, from which Justice Samuel Alito Jr. dissented, was the latest in a series of muscular First Amendment rulings from the Roberts court. Last year, the court struck down laws limiting speech about politics and making it a crime to distribute depictions of cruelty to ani-

In the current term’s other major First Amendment case, the court seems likely, based on the justices’ questioning, to strike down a law banning the sale of violent video games to minors. Only the interest in national security has in the recent run of decisions been ruled substantial enough to overcome free-speech interests. The case decided Wednesday

arose from a protest at the funeral of a Marine who had died in Iraq, Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder. As they had at hundreds of other funerals, members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., appeared with signs bearing messages like “America is Doomed” and “God Hates Fags.” The church contends that God is punishing the United States for its tolerance of homosexuality. The father of the fallen Marine, Albert Snyder, sued the protesters for, among other things, the intentional infliction of emotional distress and won a substantial jury award that was later overturned by an appeals court. Roberts suggested that a proper response to hurtful protests is general laws creating buffer zones around funerals and the like, rather than empowering juries to punish unpopular speech. Maryland, where the protest took place, now has such a law, as do, the chief justice said, 43 other states and the federal government. In his dissent, Alito likened the protest to fighting words, which are not protected by the First Amendment. “Our profound national commitment to free and open debate,” Alito wrote, “is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case.”

Court hears material witness case By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The current Supreme Court is considered a hot bench, meaning one from which advocates may expect a barrage of challenging questions. But the bench was cool Wednesday at the argument of a case testing how far the government may go in using the federal material witness law to detain and interrogate people it suspects have ties to terrorism. The justices’ lack of engagement at the argument prob-

ably signaled a victory for the government. Neal Katyal, the acting U.S. solicitor general, talked uninterrupted for extended stretches and ended his main presentation 10 minutes early. Several of the questions he received from the justices seemed to seek guidance about which route the court should take in ruling for Katyal’s client, John Ashcroft, who was President George W. Bush’s first attorney general. The case was brought by Abdullah al-Kidd, a U.S. citizen

who contends that policies set by Ashcroft after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, resulted in the misuse of the material witness law to detain him. The law is meant to allow prosecutors to hold witnesses with evidence of others’ crimes for fear they will not appear to testify at trial. Kidd contends that the law was improperly used to detain him as a suspect in a terrorism case. He was held in harsh conditions in three states for more than two weeks and was never called to testify against anyone else.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday ordered about 500 prescription drugs used to treat colds, coughs and allergies removed from the market, saying the medicines had never gone through a federal review of their safety and effectiveness. In 2008, the FDA issued an advisory that over-the-counter cold medicines should not be given to children under 2 years of age because of potentially dangerous side effects. FDA officials expressed concern that the unapproved prescription drugs contained some of the same ingredients as over-the-counter drugs that had posed risks for young children. And some of the unapproved drugs were being prescribed to infants as young as 1 month old.

Study finds new diabetes threats LOS ANGELES — A 50year-old with Type 2 diabetes will lose an average six years of life as a result of the disease, only one year less than the seven that would be lost by a smoker of the same age, researchers reported Wednesday. He or she is more than twice as likely to die of cardiovascular disease as someone without diabetes and 25 percent more likely to die of cancer, according to the report, an international study of more than 820,000 people published in the New England Journal of Medicine. People with Type 2 diabetes are also more likely to die from kidney disease, liver disease, pneumonia, infectious diseases and even intentional self-harm, according to the study, which was conducted by the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration, based at the University of Cambridge in England.

Lawmakers outline plan for reworking No Child Left Behind WASHINGTON — Saying the current education policies are failing kids, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and a group of mostly Democratic senators plan to introduce a set of revisions that would move away from rigid testing and toward flexibility for local school districts. Part of the push is to revamp No Child Left Behind, the landmark Bush-era legislation that focused on closing the achievement gap for minority children but that parents and educators have lambasted as too narrowly focused on testing. At a news conference Wednesday at a Washington public school, Duncan and a group of moderate senators slammed No Child Left Behind as a law that’s frustrated parents, teachers and principals across the country. Duncan, a former schools superintendent in Chicago, said that under current law, states could lower their standards so that more students appeared to be succeeding. The law focuses too much on how students achieve gradelevel goals and too little on the goals themselves, he said. — From wire reports

NATO copter fire kills 9 Afghan boys By Alissa J. Rubin and Sangar Rahimi New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — Nine boys collecting firewood to heat their homes in the eastern Afghanistan mountains were killed by NATO helicopter gunners who mistook them for insurgents, according to a statement on Wednesday by NATO, which apologized for the deaths. The boys, who were 9 to 15 years old, were attacked on Tuesday in what amounted to one of the war’s worst cases of mistaken killings by foreign-led forces. The victims included two sets of brothers. A 10th boy survived.

The NATO statement said the boys had been misidentified as the attackers of a NATO base earlier in the day, and included an unusual personal apology by the commander of the NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. David H. Petraeus. News of the attack enraged Afghans and led to an anti-U.S. demonstration on Wednesday in the village of Nanglam, where the boys were from. One boy survived. Petraeus pledged to investigate the attack and to take disciplinary action if appropriate. “We are deeply sorry for this tragedy and apologize to the members of the Afghan govern-

ment, the people of Afghanistan and, most importantly, the surviving family members of those killed by our actions,” he said.

Marijuana Continued from A1 “We need to do something,” Rep. Andy Olson, R-Albany, said of the medical marijuana program. “This is out of control.” A state police officer for 29 years, Olson said most lawmakers are in favor of allowing people to obtain medical-grade cannabis for conditions such as cancer or glaucoma. But he said he believes the system is being abused and there aren’t enough regulations to prevent abuse.

Cut out the middleman? Rep. Sal Esquivel, R-Medford, wants to ensure the medical cards are being prescribed only by a person’s primary physician. And he said, he thinks the middleman should be cut out of the loop, leaving only the grower and cardholder covered by the law. That would leave out the clubs that have recently opened in Bend. In the two months since the Herb Center opened in Bend,

Oakland Continued from A1 Polls last summer suggested that voters were likely to pass a November ballot initiative that would have legalized recreational marijuana use in California. They did not. But Oakland decided to proceed with its plans anyway. Hundreds of well-heeled investors and would-be farmers poured in from across the country to vie for four cultivation permits. Then, in December, just weeks before the city was set to issue the permits, the council voted to stall the plan after the city’s attorney, John Russo, and a county district attorney warned the council that the marijuana cultivation ordinance thwarted state law and that city officials could be held criminally liable. On Jan. 14, Russo wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice seeking guidance on the city’s legal standing. In a response, Melinda Haag, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California,

more than 60 people a week have received medical marijuana from the nonprofit, according to director Brent Goodman. Goodman said the average age of people coming to the center is in the late 50s. The Herb Center gets its medical marijuana from a cooperative of growers. The growers often have excess, he said, which is given to the center; the growers are reimbursed for producing it. The cooperative, Goodman said, grows for particular patients, but if they have more than they can give to the patient, they can take it to the club. Currently, state law allows patients to reimburse certified growers for growing expenses, such as fertilizer, but not for labor. The clubs operate under the same laws. For example, a club would charge a member a fee to use its facilities where they could safely use the medical marijuana. A patient could also receive cannabis at the club, but it would either be free of charge or club users would be expected to leave a donation.

Goodman said his site is filling a much-needed niche in Central Oregon. His clients have come directly from receiving chemotherapy at St. Charles Medical Center to his club, he said. Without the center, he said, people try to buy it off the black market. Goodman said he favors some regulations. He’s in favor of the clubs being taxed. But he hopes legislation doesn’t cut him out of the loop or make it so that growers can only grow enough plants for one or two cardholders. He said that drives the prices up, while allowing cooperatives to grow and then give excess to his club keeps costs down. “We need to draft some legislation that looks at the patient’s needs first,” he said. Bend City Manager Eric King said the city is following legislation that could change the rules on how the clubs operate. “We’re not commenting on the existences of the clubs as a whole,” he said. “It’s just such a new thing we want to see the leg-

warned that “individuals who elect to operate ‘industrial cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facilities’ will be doing so in violation of federal law.” The letter went on to say that the Justice Department was “carefully considering civil and criminal legal remedies regarding those who seek to set up industrial marijuana growing warehouses.” Russo has refused to provide further legal guidance to the city on the marijuana farm issue, forcing Oakland to hire a new legal team as they consider a revised version of the ordinance. Desley Brooks, the council member who wrote the revised ordinance, said the city had little choice but to move ahead with large marijuana farms. “There are unregulated grow operations in the city, and we’re having fires, home invasions and crime as a result,” she said. Brooks puts much of the blame on Russo for the legal hoopla over the ordinance. “Our city attorney went to the feds and invited scrutiny,” she said.

State law restricts who can grow pot to medical marijuana patients and their “primary caregivers,” ruling out the type of stand-alone marijuana farms originally proposed by the city. Brooks’ revised ordinance couples the farms together with a storefront dispensary that acts as “primary caregiver.” “Oakland is the epicenter of medical marijuana in the United States,” said Allen St. Pierre, executive director for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. “The Department of Justice is paying closer attention in Oakland because they’re mindful of the fact that there is enough political and commercial chutzpah to actually get this done. The only thing stopping these entrepreneurs from breaking ground tomorrow is this letter from the feds.” Many of the investors who flocked to Oakland are now taking their money and their marijuana know-how elsewhere. “I applaud the city for pushing the envelope, but it’s frus-

Filling a niche

islation ... that would impact it.” King said there was concern when the clubs first opened in December, but he hasn’t heard of any problems. Bend’s other club that recently opened is the Central Oregon Alternative Therapy Club LLC. The club charges cardholders a monthly fee for access to the facility. People are seen on an appointment-only basis. The club is considering hiring a staff physician. “These are people with real conditions,” said Chris Smith, president of the club. “(They are not people) who work the system and get cards and want to smoke dope.” Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, said without clear regulations it becomes too easy for the system to be abused. “When you’re dealing with any controlled substance or prescription drug, the delivery of the drug through the supply chain should be regulated,” he said. Lauren Dake can be reached at 541-419-8074 or at ldake@bendbulletin.com.

trating for those of us who spent a lot of time and money on this process,” said Derek Peterson, a former Wall Street banker turned marijuana entrepreneur who spent $80,000 on his permit application. Peterson is not waiting around for the city to make a decision. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia now have medical marijuana laws on the books, providing ample opportunity to grow and distribute marijuana on a huge scale. Peterson is applying for a permit to do just that in Arizona. “Right now Oakland is far too visible for this kind of investment,” said Scott Hawkins, who worked as a consultant on a permit application on behalf of Richard Lee, the founder of Oaksterdam University, a medical marijuana trade school here. “Investors don’t want to risk their capital in this situation unless things can get worked out between the city council and the Department of Justice and the city attorney’s office.”

Military Continued from A1 On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he had nominated Kelly to be his senior military assistant, a powerful position by virtue of its minuteby-minute proximity to the Pentagon chief. He would serve as a key liaison between the defense secretary and the top brass.

11 tours in the family As in many military families, Kelly’s two sons followed their father into the Marine Corps. The three Kelly men have participated in 11 combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade. As one retired Marine Corps general noted in a condolence letter to Kelly a few days after his son’s death: “Service to and sacrifice for the nation have become a legacy affair for a relatively small number of families.” A few days after graduating from Florida State University in 2003, Robert Kelly surprised his family by enlisting in the Marine Corps. His elder brother, John, had joined as an officer two years earlier. Their father was leading Marines in Iraq. The war was new in early 2003, and like most Americans, Robert had spent the spring glued to the live television coverage of U.S. tanks converging on Baghdad.

Tragedy strikes But at 6:10 a.m. on Nov. 9 last year, Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr., one of Kelly’s oldest and dearest friends, rang the doorbell at his home in the Washington Navy Yard. The instant Kelly saw Dunford, dressed in his service uniform, he knew Robert was dead. Four days later, Kelly stood in front of a microphone in St. Louis. He saw his speech there as a chance to remind people that the United States was still at war. “We are in a life-and-death struggle, but not our whole country,” he said. “One percent of Americans are touched by this war. Then there is a much smaller club of families who have given all.” He spoke of the anger that some combat veterans feel toward the war’s opponents. “They hold in disdain those who claim to support them but not the cause that takes their innocence, their limbs and even their lives,” he said. Later, he clarified in an interview that he is opposed to indifference, not dissent. “I just think if you are against the war, you should somehow try to change it,” he said. “Fight to bring us home.”

Redmond Continued from A1 That may be on the verge of changing. Districts across the state have faced cuts for the last three years, Knieling said, and some have conducted multiple rounds of layoffs. Administrators are looking for more flexibility in making such decisions. In some districts, Knieling said, many of the least experienced teachers have already lost jobs. Now school officials must choose among highly experienced teachers in making cuts. As a result, more and more districts may factor merit into the process. “I think there’s a sense of, ‘We need something else,’ ” Knieling said. The Redmond School District is not legally obligated to include the Redmond Education Association, which represents teachers, in the merit discussions. Officials have decided to do so, however, in an attempt to be transparent with staff about budget difficulties and possible cuts. The union’s participation gives REA President Judy Newman hope that she will be

Teachers Continued from A1 Republican lawmakers in half a dozen states are pressing to unwind tenure and seniority protections in place for more than 50 years. Gov. Chris Christie’s dressing down of New Jersey teachers in town-hall-style meetings, accusing them of greed, has made him a national star. Those pressing for teachers’ concessions insist the changes will improve schools. “This is in no way, shape or form an attack on teachers; it is a comprehensive effort to reform a system,” said Tony Bennett, the superintendent of public instruction in Indiana, where demonstrators have also besieged the Capitol in

able to influence the district’s take on merit. Newman, who worries that merit could be a subjective measure, wants the district to take into account more than a single principal’s opinion about a teacher whose job is on the line. “I’m cautiously OK,” Newman said of the district’s direction. A former teacher at Redmond High School, Jim Erickson is now chairman of the Redmond School Board. He believes that including teachers in the discussion will be critical to the success of the process. Eventually, the district wants to use merit in evaluating teachers and school administrators, but because of the budget shortfall and potential layoffs administrators are trying to define merit now. Erickson wishes that the district had more merit data at its disposal in making layoff decisions. But however the district comes to define merit, Erickson says it must be something everyone understands. Once that is done, he says, the district can keep “working to design systems of accountability from students clear through the superintendent and school board.” Patrick Cliff can be reached at 541-633-2161 or at pcliff@bendbulletin.com.

opposition to bills which would limit teachers’ collective bargaining to pay and benefits while allowing principals to set class sizes and school hours, and to lay off teachers based on job performance, not years of service. There are signs of a backlash in favor of teachers. A New York Times poll taken last week found that by nearly two to one — 60 to 33 percent — Americans opposed restricting collective bargaining for public employees. A similar majority — including more than half of Republicans — said the salaries and benefits of most public employees were “about right” or “too low.” “It’s hard to feel good about yourself when your governor and other people are telling you you’re doing a lousy job,” said Steve Derion, 32, who teaches American history in Manahawkin, N.J.

Even as state attorneys general and regulators in Washington approach the end of their investigation into abuses by the nation’s biggest mortgage companies, deep disputes are emerging over how much to punish the banks as well as exactly who should benefit from a settlement. The newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is pushing

for $20 billion or more in penalties, backed up by the attorneys general and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. But other regulators, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees national banks, and the Federal Reserve, do not favor such a large fine, contending a small number of people were the victims of flawed foreclosure procedures. As the negotiations grind on, there are signs that the banks still have

not come to grips with the problems plaguing the foreclosure process. These problems burst into view last fall with accounts of so-called robo-signers processing thousands of foreclosures at a time without the required legal safeguards. The resulting furor prompted the attorneys general and other government officials to step in. Some banks suspended foreclosures to review their processes before resuming. See Foreclosure/ B3

approval Bend company aspires to reclaim height record with Nevada project By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

A Bend climbing wall manufacturer’s position in the industry will rise still higher in the months to come, thanks to official approval of a new, very tall order. Entre Prises USA Inc., the American branch of a multinational corporation, was tapped to design and build a 163-foot-tall climbing wall on the outside of a new project in Reno, Nev. If built, the wall would be the tallest in the world, according to data from the Guinness World Records website. It would be the latest of several records Entre Prises has held for wall height. The company has already delivered on plans for the wall at the CommRow project, formerly Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel. But the project has faced hurdles at the municipal level, first from the Reno City Planning Commission and then from the Reno City Council. On Monday, the council approved a joint license between the city and DRW Fitzgerald Real Property LLC that permits the construction of two thirdfloor balconies that jut out from the building, one of which will be a platform for the climbing wall. Now the project can continue, and Entre Prises can move forward on a high-profile project. See Wall / B3

Along with increasing federal tax refunds for individuals, the Earned Income Tax Credit pumps millions of dollars into local economies, the Internal Revenue Service says. Last year, it generated a combined $28.5 million for taxpayers in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, according to the IRS, which urges taxpayers to check their eligibility for the credit. “Given the tough economic times, it’s reasonable to think there are people who were not eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit in the past,” IRS spokesman Richard Panick said Wednesday. “But they may find themselves eligible for it now.” Originally approved in 1975, the Earned Income Tax Credit can benefit working taxpayers who have low to moderate incomes, according to the IRS.

SALEM — Despite signs of better times, Oregon’s unemployment rate remains above 10 percent, where it’s been for more than a year. The state Employment Department said Tuesday the rate for January was 10.4 percent. That’s not a great enough change from the previous month, when it was 10.6 percent, to be statistically significant. The number is, however, down notably from the 11 percent the department reports in revised figures for January 2010. The department reports rapid gains in jobs over the past four months and says there were stronger-than-expected figures in January from manufacturing, education, health and travel and leisure. — From staff and wire reports

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is back with a refined second-generation tablet computer that squeezes more power into a thinner shell while keeping prices in check. It’s a threepronged push that should handily hold off competitors for another year. Underscoring the tablet’s importance to Apple, CEO Steve Jobs briefly emerged from a medical leave Wednesday and made a surprising appearance to unveil the iPad 2 himself.

With the original iPad, Apple proved there is great demand for a tablet that’s less than a laptop and more than a smart phone, yet performs many of the same tasks. Dozens of copycat touch-screen devices are in the works, but so far none has broken into the mainstream consciousness the way the iPad has. “The competition is essentially going to be picking up the crumbs that Apple decides to leave behind,” said Ashok Kumar, an analyst with Rodman & Renshaw.

Foreclosure

be presented to the banks. But signs of the differences have emerged in public testimony as well as in private conversations with government officials. The acting comptroller of the currency, John Walsh, testified last week that while there were widespread problems with documentation and oversight of law firms and other crucial links in the foreclosure chain, only a “small number of foreclosure sales should not have proceeded.”

Continued from B1 On Monday, though, HSBC disclosed that it had suspended foreclosures after regulators found “deficiencies” in its handling of them. These included problems with court affidavits, notarization, mortgage documentation and oversight of law firms, a spokesman for the lender, which is based in London, said. HSBC declined to say how many homeowners were affected. “The events of the fall really uncovered and provided a degree of focus on fundamental problems in the way banks service and foreclose on mortgages,” said Paul Leonard of the Center for Responsible Lending. “Regulators have a great opportunity to come up with some serious fixes.” Assuming, that is, they can agree. As difficult as it is to decide on a figure for any broad settlement, the question of what to do with the money could ultimately prove more vexing. If only victims of problems at the servicers are helped in a settlement, that would cover a small portion of homeowners who are in default and even fewer of those whose homes are valued at less than they owe. All the regulators declined to comment publicly on just how close they are to wrapping up a global settlement that would

Some 2 million U.S. homes are in foreclosure, a third of which are vacant. Another 2 million households are behind on their payments and facing the prospect of foreclosure this year. To make matters worse, roughly a fifth of the nation’s home loans exceed the value of the underlying house, raising the risk that homeowners will simply walk away, further weakening the housing market. Right now, the Obama administration argues, the housing market is facing the worst of both worlds — a big backup in foreclosures as procedures are reworked and a similarly long wait to get a mortgage modification in which the principal or the interest rate of the loan is lowered, easing monthly payments. Any settlement would include provisions to streamline the modification process, which has proceeded at a snail’s pace at many servicers, frustrating many homeowners. The money from the banks, in turn, would help cover the cost of reducing principal and interest payments, paving the way for more modifications. Advocates argue that would finally get the housing market moving again.

A broader plan Despite skepticism on the part of the comptroller’s office, other regulators would like a broader plan to help pay for modifications of mortgages that are delinquent or in default, even if homeowners cannot point to a specific example of wrongdoing on the part of servicers. In other cases, the money might be used to help mortgage holders whose loan principal exceeds the home’s current value. What’s more, the Obama administration, as well as the FDIC, sees any broad settlement with the servicers as an opportunity to do more than just fix the foreclosure process. They want to stabilize the housing market, where prices are continuing to decline, and try to help bolster the economic recovery, which is facing newer threats like higher oil prices.

The new hotel at the property also will feature restaurants, bars and an indoor bouldering park, among other things, but its unique attribute, which could draw tourists from around the world, is the wall, DeVincenzi said.

Check credentials It’s relatively quick and easy to check the licensing, employment history and disciplinary records of most financial professions. The websites of regulatory bodies like FINRA and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for instance, have consumer tools to look up individuals or firms who offer investment advice. “You have to do your research because there’s a lot of fraud out there,” said Mark Leyes, spokesman for the California Department of Corporations, which oversees financial planners, investment advisers and brokers. Checking the credentials of a financial professional “doesn’t guarantee that they’re reputable but it shows if they’re licensed and in good standing,” Leyes said. Don’t be dazzled by impressive-sounding titles cluttering a business card. There are dozens of acronyms out there, everything from “Asset Protection Planner” to “Certified Senior Consultant,” that may not necessarily mean anything. According to FINRA, there are more than 100 financial designations commonly used. Some respected titles, like CPA (certified public accountant) or CFP (certified financial planner), for instance, require coursework and professional exams, regular continuing education and adherence to professional standards. But dozens of alphabetical designations may be nothing more than titles purchased off the Internet.

He said the people in charge of the wall will change the features on it to keep climbers excited. And tourists can have their pictures taken as they climb the wall, DeVincenzi said. The people behind the CommRow project hope to open the building by the first week of July, DeVincenzi said. Neither Entre Prises nor DeVincenzi would release exact figures on the cost of the project or the wall. Entre Prises employs 40 people at its northeast Bend facility.

gest benefit may be three additional days to file. Because the Emancipation Day holiday in Washington, D.C., falls on April 15, all taxpayers have until Monday, April 18, to file. The IRS also began processing individual tax returns with itemized deductions as of Feb. 15. The agency announced a delay for processing some returns in late December because of tax law changes approved that month. To be certain the IRS receives the tax return and to ensure the security of a refund, the agency suggests taxpayers file electronically and opt for direct deposit. Those steps also generally lead to faster return processing and refund delivery. “In general terms, we urge, whether people are going to a (tax) preparer or doing it themselves … they file their returns electronically,” Panick said.

tors, they face fierce opposition from the banks, which argue that what the administration and the attorneys general have in mind is a back-door bailout for delinquent homeowners. The nation’s largest mortgage servicer, Bank of America, is already readying what will be among the industry’s main arguments: that it is unfair to reward homeowners who are delinquent or underwater but cannot point to specific errors in their case. “The question is one of fairness, who should receive a modification and who should not,” said Jim Mahoney, a spokesman for the bank. Too broad a rescue package, he said, “could forestall the housing market recovery or even create perverse incentives.” While regulators worry about how punitive any eventual settlement should be, lawyers and other advocates for the foreclosed who were hoping for criminal charges are set to be disappointed. That sanction, everyone seems to agree, is off the table. In testimony in December about the improper foreclosures by banks, Daniel Tarullo, a Federal Reserve governor, floated the notion of imposing fines on individuals found responsible for violations or banning them from banking, but officials involved in the talks said this idea had not gotten much traction either.

Tax changes for 2010

Continued from B1 To qualify, taxpayers must meet requirements for income, filing status and eligible children. Low-income individuals and couples without children also may qualify if their incomes fall below certain amounts. Statewide, 278,945 people received a combined $541.1 million last year from the Earned Income Tax Credit, according to figures provided by Panick, who is based in Seattle. Taxpayers must file a return to receive the credit, even if they would otherwise not need to file, according to the agency. Another potential refund booster for some taxpayers could be the Making Work Pay Credit, which also requires filing a special form, Schedule M, at least for most people. “Last year, a lot of people simply missed it,” Panick said. Most workers already benefited from the credit with

Don’t automatically trust your money to someone recommended by friends or family. As the many personal and business acquaintances of global Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff discovered, getting a reference is no guarantee that you’re not hooked up with a financial fraudster. “People tend to be overly influenced by personalities, sales skills and false claims,” Waymire said. “The investor has to ask the right questions, know good answers from bad ones and get everything in writing.” How long have they been in business? What’s their background and training? Do they work with clients in your income bracket? How are they compensated? You also want to ask exactly what services they’ll provide. Will they assess your financial picture and lay out a comprehensive plan? Do they provide a monthly, quarterly or annual review of your investments? Do you want a one-time financial tuneup or a long-term relationship?

What it costs Generally, it’s recommended to go with someone who’s “fee only,” which means they don’t charge commissions, but are paid directly for their services. That could be an hourly rate, a set amount per consultation or as a percentage of your total assets. A “fee-based” adviser means he or she can charge commissions based on financial products they sell to you. If that’s the case, ask for specifics: What are the account fees, management fees, front-end fees on investment purchases, etc.?

Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search change creates winners, losers Rankings aim to promote authoritative sites, bury â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;content farmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Mike Swift San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top search engineers predicted when the company revamped its search rankings last week to favor more authoritative content, there would be significant winners and there would be losers. As the dust settles in the wake of that change, the prediction is proving true. Among the apparent winners: Social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, the Library of Congress, the Encyclopedia Britannica, several newspaper and other media websites, AOL and even domestic doyenne Martha Stewart. But while some â&#x20AC;&#x153;content farmâ&#x20AC;? websites criticized for shallow content primarily authored to manipulate search results took a significant hit in Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rankings, some critics say the changes are either not being applied fairly, or havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone far enough to promote high-quality content. Across the Web, the stakes in Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change to its algorithm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a major rewrite that visibly

affected the results of 12 percent of all U.S. search queries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are huge. A site that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attract enough traffic from the dominant search engine has a lower chance of survival. And Google acknowledged that it acted because the company has something at stake: People will search less if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find quality content. Given those stakes, critics like Vivek Wadhwa, a University of California, Berkeley, researcher who has blasted Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tolerance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;content farmsâ&#x20AC;? in recent weeks, said Tuesday that Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough. Wadhwa said he was irked that Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search revamp, according to a report by one analytics company, may have promoted the visibility of one site criticized as being a content farm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Demand Mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eHow.com. By collecting ad revenue from Google advertising on Demand Media sites, Google â&#x20AC;&#x153;is funding this pollutionâ&#x20AC;? of the Web, Wadhwa said. Demand Media declined com-

The iPad 2 is shown at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday. At about a third of an inch deep, the iPad 2 is 34% thinner than its predecessor. It also weighs less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1.3 pounds, compared with the original 1.5 pounds. Jeff Chiu The Associated Press

iPad Continued from B1 He said the number of software applications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;appsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; available for the iPad gives Apple a huge advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is the tablet market anything beyond the iPad? So far the answer is no.â&#x20AC;? Sarah Rotman Epps, a Forrester Research analyst, said iPads should make up at least 20 million of the 24.1 million tablet computers she expects people in the U.S. to buy this year. Except for Jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appearance, little came as a surprise after months of speculation about features and upgrades. The tablet has two cameras built in for taking photos, recording video and video chatting. The battery life will be the same as the original â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 10 hours of usage or a month on standby. The iPad 2 is faster than its predecessor. Ross Rubin, an analyst for the market researchers NPD Group, said that should make the iPad better for creating music, video and other content, rather than just consuming it. The iPad 2 is also thinner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 8.8 millimeters, or about a third of an inch, instead of the current 13.4 millimeters. It weighs just a bit less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1.3 pounds, compared with the original 1.5 pounds. With a $39 accessory, people can connect the tablet to televisions, so they can watch high-definition videos on the bigger screen. The next-generation iPads will cost the same as the originals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $499 to $829, depending on storage space and whether they can connect to the Internet over a cellular network. Apple will add a white model to the current black. In the U.S., the iPad 2 will go on sale March 11 and work on AT&T Inc. and Veri-

zon Wireless. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online store began selling the original models for $100 off, starting at $399. Refurbished versions were even lower, starting at $349. A reporter who used a white iPad 2 immediately after the announcement found it noticeably thinner, with a more rounded back. YouTube video loaded quickly using AT&Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data service, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3â&#x20AC;? played smoothly. Given its size, the iPad 2 appeared impractical for taking lots of photos, but both cameras will help with video chats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the front one to show the caller, and the back one to show what the caller is seeing. The iPad 2 shared the spotlight with the man who presented it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jobs, who announced in January that he would take a third leave of absence to focus on his health. In the last decade, Jobs, 56, has survived a rare but curable form of pancreatic cancer and undergone a liver transplant. Jobs, looking frail in his signature black mock turtleneck and blue jeans, was greeted with a standing ovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on this product for a while, and I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss today,â&#x20AC;? Jobs told an audience that included bloggers and Apple enthusiasts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for having me.â&#x20AC;? He did not address his health or say if and when he would return. After its March 11 U.S. launch, the iPad 2 goes on sale March 25 in 26 other markets, including Mexico, New Zealand, Spain and other European countries. Apple also introduced updates to the software that runs on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The company said the update, iOS 4.3, will work on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 models, except the new version for Verizon Wireless.

ment, referring questions to a company blog post that said its Google rankings were not materially affected. Others on the negative end of the changes, however, were not pleased. Paul Edmonson, CEO of HubPages.com, a San Franciscobased site that had one of the biggest declines in visibility on Google search, according to the study by German analytics firm Sistrix GmbH, said the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest-quality material is not getting promoted by the Google changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they have it right yet,â&#x20AC;? Edmonson said in a written statement to the San Jose Mercury News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that too much high-quality content is suffering as part of this update.â&#x20AC;? Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily promote only highbrow content. The site with the biggest jump in visibility, according to Sistrix, was AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PopEater.com, a celebrity-oriented site where visitors Tuesday could read about whether Christina Aguileraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new boyfriend is bad for her. AOL declined to comment.

B DirecTV in talks for early video-on-demand LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DirecTV is in advanced talks to be Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first partner for early video-on-demand, a plan that is putting it in the cross hairs of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top theater chains. People familiar with the matter said the satellite TV company would likely be the first distributor to launch â&#x20AC;&#x153;premium VOD,â&#x20AC;? through which consumers would pay about $30 to rent a movie via the Internet or cable 60 days after it opened in theaters and at least a month before it would become available on DVD. The plan represents a significant step in Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy to make movies available in the home earlier and in new ways to generate fresh revenue as DVD sales continue to fall and domestic box office has been stagnant.

Fed says labor market has strengthened WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the labor market improved throughout the country early this year, driven by increasing retail sales and â&#x20AC;&#x153;solid growthâ&#x20AC;? in manufacturing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Labor market conditions continued to strengthen modestly, with all Districts reporting some degree of improvement,â&#x20AC;? the Fed said in its Beige Book report, an anecdotal account of the economy released two weeks before meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee. Its last survey, released Jan. 12, said the job market was â&#x20AC;&#x153;firming somewhat.â&#x20AC;? Overall, the economy â&#x20AC;&#x153;continued to expand at a modest to moderate pace,â&#x20AC;? the central bank said in Washington.

Buffett to pursue bigger acquisitions NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Warren Buffett wants to use his almost $40 billion pile of cash to pursue bigger acquisitions. That may put companies from Archer Daniels Midland to General Dynamics and Exelon in his sights. The 80-year-old billionaire investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said in his annual letter to shareholders on Saturday that he was looking for â&#x20AC;&#x153;more major acquisitions,â&#x20AC;? a year after spending $26.5 billion to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad in his largest purchase. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful investor is eyeing takeovers after a recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression helped Berkshire generate almost $1 billion in free cash flow a month last year and near zero percent interest rates limited returns in fixed-income markets. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From wire reports

Bend OKs contract extension for real estate consultant By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Bend city councilors approved a contract extension Wednesday for the consultant who has been managing the development of the city’s 1,500-acre Juniper Ridge real estate venture. The extension will pay David Ditz up to $9,847.50, or $130 an hour, until May unless it is further extended, bringing his total contractual agreement to a little more than $100,000. The city has already paid Ditz $91,160. Councilors unanimously approved the contract extension without any discussion.

DA addresses document dispute Flaherty says he’ll return records to Bulletin after redacting them By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty read from a prepared statement for just under four minutes at a Wednesday morning press conference, his first and only public comments about an ongoing dispute over the release of public records to The Bulletin. Flaherty then left the room without taking any questions. On Monday, Flaherty convened a grand jury to look into last week’s release to The Bulletin of job applications submitted by nine people hired by the District Attorney’s Office.

Some of the applications include driver’s license numbers and home addresses, which Flaherty contends cannot be publicly released under Oregon law. Multiple county employees have been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury, as has Bulletin reporter Hillary Borrud, who submitted the records request last week. In his remarks Wednesday, Flaherty changed course from the position he expressed in a letter sent to Borrud and Bulletin editors on Jan. 24. On Wednesday, Flaherty said he had asked The Bulletin to re-

New hires vary widely in depth of experience By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The documents at the heart of Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty’s grand jury inquiry include job applications and résumés submitted by several of Flaherty’s new hires. These include his chief deputy district attorney, four deputy district attorneys, two part-time investigators and a management analyst who had at one time employed one of the new deputies. Also included is the application submitted by Flaherty’s new victims’ assistance program coordinator. After defeating incumbent District Attorney Mike Dugan last May, Flaherty fired four deputy district attorneys. See Hires / C5

A STOIC COMPANION

Ditz will be charged with forming an owners association at Juniper Ridge, helping the city find a master developer to take over the project, and working with City Attorney Mary Winters on a lease for the Oregon Rush Soccer Club to put in a sports complex. Ditz was chosen to manage Juniper Ridge in December 2008. Since then he has reached several milestones in helping the city realize its dream of developing Juniper Ridge. Part of that vision involves turning the 1,500 acres, located in northeast Bend, into a mixeduse community that would include businesses, housing, parks and a four-year university. In the past year, Ditz worked with the Oregon Department of Transportation to create a plan to ease congestion on Bend’s north side, particularly around U.S. Highway 97 and Cooley Road. Without that agreement, development at Juniper Ridge would have been stymied.

$7.5M profit by 2021 projected He developed a financial model that shows the city could make $7.5 million in profit by 2021 if it sold the first 75 acres of industrial land at Juniper Ridge. That model was based on what some have called overly optimistic projections that hinged upon several unknowns, like the city’s ability to sell land during a down economy for about twice the amount of other industrial lots located in other parts of Bend. Bend resident Scott Siewert, who has been a longtime vocal opponent of Juniper Ridge, criticized the council’s decision to extend Ditz’s contract. See Juniper / C5

Restaurants to strut their stuff for COCC scholarships By Devo’n Williams The Bulletin

A chive biscuit with seared beef, goat cheese, and compound butter, topped with Mirror Pond pale shallot jam. That’s what you’ll find at the Deschutes Brewery’s booth at the annual Taste of the Town on Friday. The event at the Central Oregon Community College gymnasium will feature 20 restaurants producing sample servings of two dishes from their kitchens. Proceeds will go to the COCC scholarship fund. Still hungry? “We’re doing a black bean hummus with goat cheese egg plant caviar,” said Bob Pearson, cofounder of Common Table, a recently opened nonprofit restaurant trying to build its presence in the community. By mixing pay-what-you-can principles and a fine dining menu, the restaurant seeks to blur class lines. They’re accustomed to donating food with their Grace Bowls, free bowls with rice, beans and fresh vegetables. The food and labor is donated by the restaurants. For a $30 ticket (purchased in advance) or $35 at the door, people will be able to sample food of all the restaurants, and even come back for seconds.

Sisters High School awaits biomass heating system district will likely still spend the same amount it now does on heating costs — about $60,000 annually. That money would be divided between costs related to purchasing, installing and running the system. Once the system is paid off, the savings should arrive, Bliss said, because the main cost would be the biomass fuel — wood pellets — which tends to be cheaper than heating oil.

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

A long-planned biomass heating system at Sisters High School could be in place by the end of the school year. The district estimates it could eventually save about $35,000 a year in heating costs by using the biomass system. If those savings are realized and the system works well, Sisters Superintendent Jim Golden wants to expand the model to the district’s other buildings.

Model for future

Contract complexities Before any of that happens, the district must finalize a contract that has become more complex over the past year. The district originally planned to treat the deal as if it were just another utility agreement — like water from the city — but is now dealing with it as a public improvement deal, according to Leland Bliss, the district’s director of operations. That change brings with it more public contract rules and so the dis-

Golden said he was pleased with the potential savings, but said it made sense to him to use wood from local forests to heat the school. Golden believes the high school’s system, if it works as planned, may serve as a model for other biomass projects in the district’s future. “We have all these natural resources, and there are some real positives in terms of energy independence,” Golden said.

The second project the city of Redmond is seeking proposals for is an art installation in the Outdoor Art Gallery. Artists who are selected will receive a stipend of $750 for the installation of their art work, which will be displayed prominently in the city center for two years. Proposals for installations will be accepted through March 25 at 5 p.m. Those interested in finding out more about the projects and the proposal criteria can visit www.ci.redmond.or.us or contact Jackie Abslag, Community Development Department, at 541-923-7763 for details.

Man pleads not guilty in beating death A Bend man accused of beat-

Richard Ward Clarke, 25, faces charges of murder in the Oct. 17 death of Matthew Fitzhenry, with whom Clark shared a home on Northwest Georgia Avenue near downtown Bend. Fitzhenry, who was 36, was found on the floor of his home by a neighbor and transported to St. Charles Bend with serious head injuries. Fitzhenry died at the hospital. Clarke was arrested on a parole violation on the day of Fitzhenryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and was named as a suspect a few days later after police located an aluminum bat in the bushes a few blocks away, near McMenamins Old St. Francis School.

Free document shredding offered A free document shredding event will be held by the Deschutes County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office on March 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. as a way to provide residents the opportunity to safely destroy personal documents. The event will be held in the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office parking lot at 63333 U.S. Highway 20 in Bend. Residents will also be able to bring unwanted or outdated medication for safe disposal.

Tracking fluttering butterflies OSU researcher using computer modeling to learn more about stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rarer species

A member of Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research team places a tiny transponder and mark on a butterfly in April 2010. Bennett will use data to build computer models that simulate the movement and behavior of rare populations such as the Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s checkerspot and Oregon silverspot.

By Nancy Raskauskas Corvallis Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Researcher Victoria Bennett spent last summer running around, chasing butterflies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be hard, sweaty work, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a bloody slope,â&#x20AC;? said Bennett, who grew up in England and earned her undergrad, masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and doctorate degrees at the University of Leeds, West Yorkshire. Bennett is a post-doctorate researcher at Oregon State University, based in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, with Matthew Betts, a landscape ecologist specializing in hummingbirds, and Winston Smith, a USDA Forest Service wildlife ecologist famous for his work on flying squirrels, as her supervisors. Her current research is funded through a grant from the National Geographic Waitt Grant Program and a general research fund grant from OSU. Bennett uses computer simulations to look at how species move across the landscape. Her field work enables her to gather data she needs to create virtual butterflies that act like their wild counterparts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Data collection can often be limited by scale,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can see the small-scale processes very easily â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the way a butterfly nectars, where it lays eggs, or how it moves across a field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but tracking how it moves across the landscape is much harder to do.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where an innovative techniques and modeling simulations can help. This spring, her team will be using new technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a harmonic radar system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to follow butterflies. Each butterfly in the study will be outfitted with a transponder no larger than a flake of dust. The same tiny transponders have been used by other researchers to track locust swarms and reveal how bumble bees and honey bees go about pollinating over a geographic area.

Individual butterflies The plan is to tag about 10 individual butterflies each week and use the harmonic system to follow those individuals more effectively than her team has been able to in the past. Being able to follow individuals for longer will allow Bennett to see what they are doing over the course of a day and hopefully a week or more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without it we tend to be limited to a few hours, as it is never long before the individual we are following ducks behind some vegetation out of sight or has an aerial altercation with one or more individuals,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telling one individual in a swirling mass apart from another is tricky. By using a handheld harmonic radar system, we can continue to collect data on an individual which we would have otherwise have lost.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following individuals and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mapping out exactly where they move and exactly how they behave,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting the full story.â&#x20AC;? To compare butterfly movements and behavior, Bennett hopes to gather data on two or more rare species, including the Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s checkerspot

and Oregon Silverspot and four or more common species, including the Common wood nymph, Common ringlet, Western tail blue and Western meadow fritillary. So far, her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field sites have included meadows on the Oregon Coast, Olympic National Park in Washington, and various local green spaces such as Fitton Green Natural Area, Adair Wildlife Area, E.E. Wilson Wildlife Refuge and Marys Peak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butterflies can be very cryptic once they get in the grass,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with the rare species especially, walking on their habitat when there is a chance you might crush a butterfly is not a good idea.â&#x20AC;?

Leaving habitat intact The harmonic tracking system is providing a new way to keep tabs on the butterflyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location without disturbing its immediate habitat or running the risk or injuring or killing it. The hope is to use the same type of transponders to monitor caterpillars in the future. When her team returns to tracking butterflies this spring, they will in turn be followed by a documentary film maker who hopes to have the project picked up by National Geographic. It should be a challenge for the filmmaker. When it comes to being captured on film, Bennett absolutely refuses. She wants the public to be aware of her work, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that is important, she said, not personal recognition. Bennett started studying anthropogenic (human-caused) disturbance of wildlife, long before she arrived at OSU, primarily with bats and birds. She focused on the effects of â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-consumptiveâ&#x20AC;? recreation such as bird watching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know that wildlife watching can have a negative impact?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When wildlife individuals are scared, flee or freeze in response to your presence, you are ultimately interrupting their natural behavior. For some species this can have fitness and reproductive consequences.â&#x20AC;? For example, higher levels of stress can affect overall health and survival rates. Not to mention, all that human attention can attract predators, such as hawks, she said. Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research gets at several key dilemmas: How do we protect species while maintaining recreational access to wilderness areas? How do we minimize the effects of development on wildlife? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All too often we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how effective our mitigation is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to species of concern, managers are under pressure to implement recovery management immediately. Without specific knowledge of a speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs and sensitivity

to recreational activities there is a chance that something as basic as the placement of a foot path can have consequences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having been in the position where I had to make decisions on appropriate management, I found this uncertainty frustrating,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I returned to academia especially to develop practical techniques that would relieve such management black spots.â&#x20AC;?

Work in the U.K. Her work in the United Kingdom with species of concern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; primarily bats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led her to Purdue University to work with the Karner Blue Butterfly and the Indiana bat. For the former, she studied how walkers on a pathway disturbed individual butterflies from laying eggs. Females are choosy about selecting a location and laying a single egg can take up to 15 minutes or more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone walks by while a female is attempting to lay an egg, she will flush (fly away). That female will then start the whole process over again, finding a suitable plant.â&#x20AC;? If disturbed enough, the outcome will be fewer eggs laid in her lifetime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also found in our simulations that females Karner blues will lay eggs farther away from the path,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When many butterfly species are limited by host plant availability, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually got the potential to be very detrimental to the population,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Oregon silverspot, a federally threatened species, first

541-322-CARE

sparked Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research interest in the Pacific Northwest. It is found on sites in Oregon that are bisected by Highway 101. The butterflies therefore cross the coastal highway to move within their site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the direct effects of being hit by a vehicle that will have an impact,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also the responses (flushing or avoidance behavior) of the butterflies to approaching vehicles that prevents individuals from crossing over.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This got me thinking that there might be some species, perhaps those that are rare, that are more behaviorally sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance and stressors (like the Karner blue). If this is the case this may affect the way such butterflies move across the human-altered landscape,â&#x20AC;? she said. After the spring field season, Bennett plans to analyze all the data gathered on her â&#x20AC;&#x153;rareâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;commonâ&#x20AC;? species to see which species are more sensitive than others. Using this data she hopes to parameterize her computer model, so she can simulate the movement of virtual butterflies across a virtual landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From this we should be able to predict whether each species will be able to shift their ranges. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a big mystery right now,â&#x20AC;? she said.

O EASTERN OREGON TRIBES

Casino fuels reservation resurgence By Richard Cockle The Oregonian

PENDLETON — A giant tower crane rising above the Wildhorse Resort & Casino has become an unlikely emblem for Eastern Oregon’s Umatilla Indian Reservation. It’s part of a $45 million, 10story upgrade of the casino and hotel east of town scheduled for completion in September. The growing complex and a handful of other tribal enterprises mark the reservation’s growing role as a regional economic engine — a complete turnaround from what locals call “B.C.” (Before Casino). “What’s going on at the reservation is driving what’s going on in Pendleton,” said Umatilla County businessman Wesley Grilley, owner of Grilley Management Services in Pendleton. “There is a hell of a lot of action going on out there.” Now one of the county’s largest employers, the Confederated Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla tribes have taken a dramatic leap forward with 1,460 workers, a $35 million payroll and a $190 million operating budget. That contrasts to B.C., when the reservation’s work force was 159 with a $2.5 million payroll and $7.5 million operating budget. The yearlong, 184,000-squarefoot resort expansion is expected to add 116 jobs, most of them permanent, full-time positions, said tribal spokeswoman Tiah DeGrofft. Wildhorse encompasses an RV park, 18-hole golf course and Tamastslikt Cultural Institute in addition to the casino and hotel. “They call this the new ‘white buffalo’ — gaming,” said Wildhorse general manager Al Tovey. The rare white American bison sacred to many Native Americans is a fitting metaphor for the tribes’ newfound prosperity. The B.C. era ended Nov. 5, 1994 — the day Wildhorse Casino opened off Interstate 84 under the management of Capital Gaming International Inc. of Atlantic City, N.J.

Joblessness plummets The tribes assumed management after five years, and gaming revenues have played a significant role in the drop in reservation joblessness from 37 percent in 1994 to the current 13 percent, according to tribal figures. While the tribes won’t reveal the casino’s annual gaming revenues to the general public, the resort’s Wildhorse Foundation donates 3 percent of casino

Suit against Pacific Seafood takes hit with court ruling The Associated Press

Jesse Bronson, of Pendleton, has just started working with the Tribal Employment Rights Office’s program that holds a certain percent of the employment positions for tribal members. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation has become the economic engine of the area in eastern Oregon near Pendleton. One symbol of the growing employment is the crane above the construction at the Wildhorse Casino just off Interstate 84.

“The money is a new thing for us. For years, we never had anything to spend.” — Al Tovey, general manager, Wildhorse Resort & Casino proceeds to worthy causes, and that amount totaled $628,000 last year, DeGrofft said. December unemployment in Umatilla County, the last month for which figures are available, was 9.6 percent, compared with 10.6 percent statewide, said state labor economist Dallas Fridley.

Gaming revenues soar above expectations One reason may be the multiplier effect of the reservation’s payroll, which is spent and respent through the local economy. “The money is a new thing for us,” said Tovey, whose heritage is Cayuse and Nez Perce. “For years, we never had anything to spend.” The casino’s initial success “was a big surprise for a lot of us,” said Wildhorse CEO Gary George. “Who was going to come to Eastern Oregon?” But within the first month and a half, 25,352 people visited the Wildhorse, which opened in a modest modular building while the larger 40,000-squarefoot casino was built nearby. The gaming initially was

limited to cards, bingo and slot machines, and the absence of Las Vegas-style gaming, glitz and glitter drew chuckles from some gamblers. The laughter died when Wildhorse’s gaming revenues soared 50 percent above expectations in the first month with almost no tribal advertising. Slot machines alone paid out $488,500 in the first 14 days. The most recent annual count showed 750,000 patrons last year. Most visitors come from a radius of about 100 miles, many from Yakima and the Tri-Cities, Wash.

Boon to merchants The casino’s success has been a shot in the arm for merchants in Pendleton, population 21,000. Parley Pearce, co-owner of the 106-year-old Hamley & Co. saddle shop and western store downtown, vividly recalls a beautiful and flamboyant Las Vegas card player sweeping into his store, flush with winnings from one of Wildhorse’s three annual high-stakes poker tournaments. “She laid down several thousand bucks,” Pearce said.

An unexpected upside to Wildhorse’s success has been a return of Native Americans to the 273-square-mile reservation. Tribal enrollment now stands at 2,787, up from 1,492 in 1994. Many live on or around the reservation, which also is home to 300 native people enrolled in other tribes and 1,500 nonIndians, reservation statistics indicate. “People are moving back home,” said Marcus Luke, vice chairman of the tribes’ governing General Council. Luke is of Umatilla, Walla Walla, Cayuse and Yakama descent who has lived near the reservation all his life. Still, enrollment remains well below the estimated 8,000 Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla Walla tribal members who lived on a 6.4 million-acre Northwest homeland before the European contact. In the meantime, the casino continues to thrive. It expanded in 2002 and 2005, and the latest renovation will add 202 new rooms to the hotel and 24,000 square feet to the casino.

PORTLAND — A classaction lawsuit against one of the country’s largest seafood processors has taken a hit, after a judge said the plaintiffs failed to show the company used its enormous market share to suppress prices paid to fishermen. In fact, U.S. District Court Judge Owen Panner said in a ruling Tuesday, the evidence indicates Pacific Seafood has expanded the market for whiting, and that fishermen have been getting better prices as a result. Prices paid to fishermen are at the heart of the lawsuit filed by two Southern Oregon commercial fishermen against the seafood giant, The Oregonian reports. Attorney Mike Haglund filed the suit in summer 2010. It alleges that after buying up processors from California to the Gulf of Alaska, Pacific controls 50 percent to 75 percent of the market for whiting, Dungeness crab, Pacific shrimp and groundfish.

Anti-trust claim The suit accuses Pacific Seafood of using that market share and coordination with other processors to drive down prices paid to fishermen. Such practices would violate federal anti-trust laws. Pacific Seafood has denied the allegation. A trial is scheduled to begin in February 2012. The plaintiffs asked the judge to prohibit Pacific Seafood from coordinating prices for whiting with West-

port, Wash.-based Ocean Gold, the largest whiting processor on the West Coast. Panner said in denying the motion that the evidence doesn’t support the plaintiff’s allegation. “Instead, the evidence indicates that since 2006 defendants’ combined operations have expanded the market for whiting,” Panner wrote in the ruling. “Each year since 2006 (other than 2009, when there was a worldwide recession), defendants have been paying fishermen significantly higher prices for whiting, with record prices paid in 2008,” he wrote.

Planned buyout Pacific Seafood markets and sells all of Ocean Gold’s fish. Haglund learned during the discovery process that Pacific Seafood was planning to buy Ocean Gold. Pacific Seafood agreed in December to hold off on purchasing Ocean Gold. Ocean Gold attorney Chris Kayser said the ruling shows Panner isn’t “fond” of the case against Ocean Gold, which was added as a defendant in the suit. “Obviously, the opinion he’s written is a very good sign for us,” Kayser said. “Certainly, Haglund loses a lot of momentum. He’s really struggled to get much interest from fishermen.” Haglund said Panner’s ruling doesn’t indicate any faults with his case. “We’re a long way from the conclusion — probably halfway through discovery,” Haglund said. “I’m confident that we’ve got a very strong case.”

Attack of the prevailing wage

t should be obvious: Now is not the time to make Oregon less attractive to business. But here we go again with another attack of the prevailing wage on Oregon’s enterprise zones.

Enterprise zones are set up by a community to bring business in. There are 59 zones in Oregon, according to the state. A business locating or expanding in an enterprise zone gets an incentive. The business gets a total exemption from property taxes normally assessed on new a plant and equipment for at least three years and up to five years. Two years ago, the Oregon House passed a bill to make Oregon enterprise zones less attractive to business. The proposal was that if private companies build in enterprise zones with projected costs of $5 million or more, they would have to pay prevailing wages during construction. Prevailing wages are inflated wages applied to government projects. So when Oregon had nearly the highest unemployment in the country, legislators thought it would somehow be better to make it harder for businesses to succeed. Fortunately, the bill was snuffed out in the Senate. Two years later, Oregon is still struggling. There’s the $3.5 billion

budget shortfall. Unemployment rates in Central Oregon have still been in the teens. And now there is a new bill, House Bill 2586, to make Oregon enterprise zones less attractive to businesses. This bill would consider the exemption from property taxes as money of a public agency and therefore possibly kicking in requirements for paying the prevailing wage. This bill doesn’t improve Oregon’s economic picture. It doesn’t get people more jobs. What it does is discourage businesses from expanding or locating in Oregon. Redmond is celebrating a new manufacturer, LMH Industries, that just started production Tuesday in its enterprise zone. The company makes cables and cable connectors and may employ as many as 40 people by next May. Oregon needs more news like that, not less. As much as we understand the desire to have people paid more, mandating better pay does not bring jobs to Oregon.

Pay and benefits and the budget H

ere’s a quick true-false quiz for you: Public employees in Oregon make more than their counterparts in the private sector. That was a trick question. Some public employees do make more than similar private-sector workers. Others do not. It all depends upon the job and, to some extent, the education levels of the employees being compared. Many of Oregon’s public employees do, however, have better benefits packages than their private-sector neighbors. In the end, while studies about public and private pay and benefits are interesting — and to some extent all over the block — discussions about them miss the point these days. Given the size of Oregon’s budget deficit, which, by the way, is shared by school districts, cities and counties across the state, and given how much salaries and benefits take of public dollars, budgets simply cannot be balanced without some changes. Consider health insurance, which for state employees is a particularly sweet benefit. Oregon picks up the full cost of each state employee’s monthly premium, something that’s not generally practiced in private business or even across all public agencies. Moreover, the state pays premiums not only for employees, but for their families, as well. Combine that with the rising cost of health care overall, and, according to an article in The Oregonian, total compensation for state employees, including benefits, is expected to jump by 15 percent in the upcoming biennium. We don’t begrudge public employ-

ees their salaries. They’re as hardworking as anyone else. We don’t particularly begrudge them their rich benefits packages, either. We do know, however, that this state cannot move forward unless something changes. In part that’s because, state officials say, wages, salaries and benefits use three out of every four state generalfund dollars. One change that would help down the road is a reduction in the total number of people on the public payroll. While the private-sector work force is 10 percent smaller now than it was in 2007, the state work force, including its university system, has grown by 7 percent. That makes it more difficult, not easier, to balance state budgets this year and in the future. Two more changes are critical. One is health insurance benefits, the most generous in the nation. Oregon state employees not only pay nothing for their health insurance, they have no deductible to meet before that insurance begins paying out. The other is a change to the so-called 6 percent pickup, which the state pays into a supplemental account for each state employee. The pickup originally was granted during a financial downturn years ago in lieu of salary increases the state could not afford at the time. Finally, there’s this: Oregon cannot reduce the state’s payroll and benefits payouts without reducing both the scope and the number of programs its employees keep afloat. That’s going to cause pain far beyond Salem, but it’s the only route there is to a balanced state budget and healthier financial future.

Other forces spurring change By Thomas Friedman New York Times News Service

uture historians will long puzzle over how the self-immolation of a Tunisian street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, in protest over the confiscation of his fruit stand, managed to trigger popular uprisings across the Arab/ Muslim world. We know the big causes — tyranny, rising food prices, youth unemployment and social media. But since being in Egypt, I’ve been putting together my own back-of-the-envelope guess list of what I’d call the “not-soobvious forces” that fed this mass revolt. Here it is: • The Obama factor: Americans have never fully appreciated what a radical thing we did — in the eyes of the rest of the world — in electing an AfricanAmerican with the middle name Hussein as president. I’m convinced that listening to Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech — not the words, but the man — were more than a few young Arabs who were saying to themselves: “Hmmm, let’s see. He’s young. I’m young. He’s darkskinned. I’m dark-skinned. His middle name is Hussein. My name is Hussein. His grandfather is a Muslim. My grandfather is a Muslim. He is president of the United States. And I’m an unemployed young Arab with no vote and no voice in my future.” I’d put that in my mix of forces fueling these revolts. • Google Earth: While Facebook has gotten all the face time in Egypt, Tunisia and Bahrain, don’t forget Google Earth, which began roiling Bahraini politics in 2006. A big issue in Bahrain, particularly among Shiite men who want to get married and build homes, is the unequal distribution of land. On Nov. 27, 2006, on the eve of parliamentary elections in Bahrain, The Washington Post ran this report from there: “Mahmood, who lives in a house with his parents, four siblings and their children, said he became even more frustrated when he looked up Bahrain on Google Earth

THOMAS FRIEDMAN and saw vast tracts of empty land, while tens of thousands of mainly poor Shiites were squashed together in small, dense areas. ‘We are 17 people crowded in one small house, like many people in the southern district,’ he said. ‘And you see on Google how many palaces there are and how the al-Khalifas (the Sunni ruling family) have the rest of the country to themselves.’ Bahraini activists have encouraged people to take a look at the country on Google Earth, and they have set up a special user group whose members have access to more than 40 images of royal palaces.” • Israel: The Arab TV network AlJazeera has a big team covering Israel today. Here are some of the stories it has been beaming into the Arab world: Israel’s previous prime minister, Ehud Olmert, had to resign because he was accused of illicitly taking envelopes stuffed with money from a JewishAmerican backer. An Israeli court recently convicted Israel’s former president Moshe Katsav on two counts of rape, based on accusations by former employees. And just a few weeks ago, Israel, at the last second, rescinded the appointment of Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant as the army’s new chief of staff after Israeli environmentalists spurred a government investigation that concluded Galant had seized public land near his home. (You can see his house on Google Maps!) This surely got a few laughs in Egypt, where land sales to fat cats and cronies of the regime that have resulted in huge overnight profits have been the talk of Cairo this past year. When you live right next to a country that is bringing to justice its top leaders

for corruption and you live in a country where many of the top leaders are corrupt, well, you notice. • The Beijing Olympics: China and Egypt were both great civilizations subjected to imperialism and were both dirt poor back in the 1950s, with China even poorer than Egypt, Edward Goldberg, who teaches business strategy, wrote in The Globalist. But, today, China has built the world’s second-largest economy, and Egypt is still living on foreign aid. What do you think young Egyptians thought when they watched the dazzling opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics? China’s Olympics were another wake-up call — “in a way that America or the West could never be” — telling young Egyptians that something was very wrong with their country, argued Goldberg. • The Fayyad factor: Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad introduced a new form of government in the Arab world in the past three years, something I’ve dubbed “Fayyadism.” It said: Judge me on my performance, on how I deliver government services and collect the garbage and create jobs — not simply on how I “resist” the West or Israel. Every Arab could relate to this. Chinese had to give up freedom but got economic growth and decent government in return. Arabs had to give up freedom and got the Arab-Israeli conflict and unemployment in return. Add it all up and what does it say? It says you have a very powerful convergence of forces driving a broad movement for change. It says we’re just at the start of something huge. And it says that if we don’t have a more serious energy policy, the difference between a good day and a bad day for America from here on will hinge on how the 86year-old king of Saudi Arabia manages all this change.

Obama ‘making up reasons’ to avoid action against Libya By Jackson Diehl The Washington Post

ully a week after Libya’s delegation to the United Nations first proposed that Western countries impose a no-fly zone in their country, the Obama administration finally has begun discussing it with other NATO governments. But most of the talk seems to be about why it can’t happen. Diplomats say NATO won’t act to stop Moammar Gadhafi from bombing his own citizens unless the U.N. Security Council passes an authorizing resolution — and Russia and China will not allow that. Pentagon officials, meanwhile, are warning that any no-fly operation would require pre-emptive attacks on Libyan air defenses. At a Senate hearing Tuesday, Gen. James Mattis, chief of U.S. Central Command, called the po-

tential mission “challenging” and noted that “it would be a military operation — it wouldn’t be just telling people not to fly airplanes.” Those comments exasperated Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a former Navy pilot who, along with Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., just returned from a tour of the Middle East. “We spend $500 billion on defense, and we can’t take down Libyan air defenses?” he asked incredulously in an interview he and Lieberman gave to me and The Washington Post’s Fred Hiatt. “You tell those Libyan pilots that there is a no-fly zone, and they are not going to fly.” “I think they (in the Obama administration) are making up reasons” not to act, McCain added. “You will always have people who will find out the reasons why you can’t do it. But I don’t recall Ronald Reagan asking anyone’s

permission to get Cuba out of Grenada, or responding to the killings of American soldiers.” Reagan ordered a U.S. airstrike against Libya in 1986 after U.S. soldiers were killed in a Libyansponsored bombing in Berlin. McCain and Lieberman proposed a no-fly zone in a news conference last week in Jerusalem, along with other measures to increase the pressure on Gadhafi. Those include the recognition of an alternative government and the delivery of weapons to opposition forces. In the interview with us, Lieberman argued that “we ought to act not just for humanitarian reasons. “Others in the Arab world are watching Gadhafi practice the most grotesque atrocities,” he said. “Insofar as we get involved to stop him, the democratic revolutionaries will understand that we are

taking their side.” Regimes contemplating similar violence to put down protests will, of course, also take note of whether Gadhafi is allowed to succeed. The senators visited Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt in a whirlwind tour of a region in revolution. Apart from his insistence on the need to act on Libya, McCain said he came away impressed by the importance of whether Egypt’s uncertain transition to a new political system succeeds. “We shouldn’t understate the importance of Egypt,” he said. “It will have a powerful effect on the entire scenario.” Lieberman said he was thrilled to the degree that the conversation about Egypt had changed. For years, he pointed out, U.S. administrations had accepted that the choices there were limited to a friendly secular autocracy or hostile Islamists. “Suddenly there’s a third al-

ternative that is democratic and secular,” he said. “It’s like a gift.” Some analysts have been arguing that the Mideast revolts are helping Iran and could eventually play into the hands of Islamic extremists. Lieberman disagrees. “What’s happened in Tunisia and Egypt is a powerful repudiation of al-Qaida and Iran,” he said. “We have to figure out how to do everything we can to be supportive of a successful transition.” McCain was more cautious, saying he was worried about Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood — “a well-disciplined, wellorganized force” that “has been playing this perfectly” so far. Still, he said, “it’s not clear how this thing is going to go — but we have to be optimistic.” Jackson Diehl is deputy editorial page editor for The Washington Post

NEW YORK — Judith Socolov, who as a diminutive Barnard graduate named Judith Coplon was convicted of espionage more than 60 years ago after embracing a utopian vision of communism and falling in love with a Soviet agent, died Saturday in Manhattan. She was 88. Her death was confirmed by her daughter, Emily Socolov. A longtime Brooklyn resident, the elder Socolov had been living in the Bronx. Judith Coplon was a 5-foottall, 27-year-old political analyst for the Justice Department when she was arrested by the FBI in 1949 with the Soviet agent Valentin Gubitchev on a Manhattan street corner. She had been identified from intercepted Soviet cables. But her convictions for espionage in 1949 and for conspiracy (with Gubitchev) in 1950 were overturned — in one case because federal agents overheard conversations with her lawyer, and in the other because she was arrested on probable cause but without a warrant. Still, the U.S. Court of Appeals concluded that “her guilt is plain,” and Soviet documents released years later supported that conclusion. “She was a very high priority to the FBI,” John Earl Haynes, a Cold War historian at the Library of Congress, said Monday, “because she was clearly in a Justice Department office, the Foreign Agents Registration Section, that was receiving the FBI’s own counterespionage reports.” While her appeals were pending, Coplon married one of her lawyers, Albert Socolov, a decorated D-Day veteran. The court restricted their honeymoon to within 100 miles of New York City. After the verdicts were reversed, Judith Coplon — now Judith Socolov — lived in obscurity, raising four children, earning a master’s degree in education, publishing bilingual books, tutoring women in prison in creative writing, and, with her husband, running two Mexican restaurants in Manhattan (the Beach House in TriBeCa and Alameda on the Upper West Side). Socolov refused to discuss her relationship with Gubitchev, a Russian working at the United Nations, or her legal ordeal. “The subject of her innocence or guilt was something that she would strictly not address,” Emily Socolov said. “It’s very hair-raising to read about your mother being given a code name and moved around like a chess piece,” the daughter added. “Was she a spy? I think it’s another question that I ask: Was she part of a community that felt that they were going to bring, by their actions, an age of peace and justice and an equal share for all and the abolishing of color lines and class lines?” “If these were things that she actually did, she was not defining them as espionage,” Socolov continued. “If you feel that what you’re doing answers to a higher ideal, it’s not treason.” Judith Coplon was born in Brooklyn on May 17, 1922, the daughter of Samuel and Rebec-

Judith Coplon leaves U.S. District Court in Washington after her arraignment in 1949 on a charge of taking confidential data from government files. Coplon, later known by her married name Judith Socolov, died at the age of 88 in Manhattan on Saturday. ca Moroh Coplon, a toy manufacturer and milliner, respectively. Her great-grandfather, a peddler who had emigrated from Prussia, was a prisoner during the Civil War at Andersonville, the infamous Confederate prison camp. Coplon won a good-citizenship award in high school and a full scholarship to Barnard, where she majored in history and was a member of the Young Communist League. She graduated cum laude in 1943, joined the Justice Department in 1944 and, according to the government, was recruited by Soviet intelligence later that year. In 1948, after intercepting a secret three-year-old Soviet cable, the Venona project, which monitored and decoded Soviet diplomatic communications, identified Coplon as an agent code-named Sima. She “will be able to carry out important work for us in throwing light” on U.S. counterintelligence, the Soviet cable said. To snare her, the FBI fed her a false memorandum about atomic power, then followed her in Manhattan on March 30, 1949, with 30 agents and a fleet of radio cars. After she made a series of evasive maneuvers by subway and bus, she and Gubitchev were arrested under the Third Avenue elevated line in Midtown. Several secret documents, including the faked memo, were confiscated. “I was never and am not a Communist,” Coplon later declared. “The only crime I can be said to be guilty of is that I knew a Russian.” She said she had met Gubitchev at the Museum of Modern Art and fallen in love with him, only to learn he was married. “I will always say that I’m innocent and that I’m being framed,” she testified. In 1952, after winning the right to a new trial, she remained free on $40,000 bail. The bail money was not returned until 1967, when the Justice Department formally dropped the case. For years, though, the charges haunted her. “If she felt somebody was looking at her askance or treating her disparagingly,” Emily Socolov said, “she thought about that case.”

Famed violinist Eugene Fodor dies at 60 By Kyle MacMillan The Denver Post

Eugene Fodor, a violinist who achieved stardom in the classical world but suffered a spectacular career collapse following a 1989 drug arrest, died Saturday in Arlington, Va., in his sleep. He was 60. According to Susan Davis, his first of two wives, whom he remarried in November, Fodor was suffering from liver disease when he moved from Colorado

to her Virginia home. Fodor gained international fame after winning the 1972 Paganini Competition and the top prize in 1974 at Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Competition, the same event that had made pianist Van Cliburn a sensation in 1958. After Fodor’s victories, he played with most of the major orchestras in the United States and recorded. His outdoorsy good looks made him a natural for televi-

sion, where he was a frequent guest on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” But his career already had ebbed by the time he was arrested in 1989 on Martha’s Vineyard on charges that included possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to distribute. A few months later, The New York Times published a story titled “From Tchaikovsky to Heroin: A Brilliant Violinist’s Decline.”

Records Continued from C1 “We were, and are, willing to return those files to The Bulletin after the impermissible content is removed.” However, in the letter sent Jan. 24, Flaherty demanded the return of all records and did not offer to provide The Bulletin with redacted copies of the job applications. “The purpose of this letter,” Flaherty wrote then, “is to notify you that the entire disclosure of personnel records by Deschutes County was in direct violation of Oregon’s public records law and Deschutes County’s obligation to protect the privacy rights of employees such as the Deputy District Attorneys. You are hereby notified that the entire personnel records that were wrongfully disclosed to you by Deschutes County should be immediately returned to Deschutes County with no copies retained by The Bulletin and none of the information that was disclosed disseminated or utilized in any way by The Bulletin.” Flaherty also argued Wednesday that he is “in no way attempting to block the inspection of

Hires Continued from C1 He also fired Dugan’s chief deputy, Darryl Nakahira. The attorneys hired to fill these positions have widely varying levels of experience. Chief Deputy District Attorney Traci Anderson was hired from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, records indicate, where she had worked since 1999. Her application, submitted Oct. 31, contains little information not previously disclosed when Flaherty announced her appointment in January. Anderson’s application notes that she spent two years investigating allegations of abuse and neglect for the Multnomah County Aging & Disability Services Adult Care Home Program before becoming a prosecutor. Two of Flaherty’s new deputy district attorneys, Matthew Nelson and Katie Clason, recently graduated from law school and passed the bar. Nelson, a graduate of Oregon State University and Lewis & Clark Law School, writes in his Nov. 20 cover letter that he entered law school with the goal of becoming a district attorney. Nelson writes that he tried several misdemeanor cases while serving as a clerk with the Washington County District Attorney’s Office and took several courses in law school focused on criminal law. Clason writes in her Nov. 22 cover letter that she is a 2002 graduate of Mountain View High School. She expresses an interest in working on cases involving juveniles. She lists no prior academic focus or experience

public documents. We welcome the news media evaluating and discussing the quality of individuals I have recently hired in the DA’s Office. I stand ready at any time to release lawfully permissible documents relating to qualifications or background of any public employee and to discuss the contents if requested.” The focus of the grand jury investigation is determining whether the release of the information about individuals hired by the DA’s Office was “simply a mistake or intentional,” Flaherty said Wednesday. Flaherty did not return a call for comment following the press conference. Deschutes County Counsel Mark Pilliod, who was called to appear before the grand jury Monday, said the inclusion of addresses, phone numbers and driver’s license numbers in the records released to The Bulletin was “an oversight.” He said he suspects there may be an attempt to bring criminal charges against him and is considering hiring an attorney. Pilliod declined to discuss what charges might be brought against him or anyone else involved in the inquiry. “I’ve tried to avoid speculating in public about what (Flaherty)

has in mind or what the grand jury has in mind, and frankly, I’d rather not give them any ideas,” Pilliod said. Bulletin Editor-in-Chief John Costa said Wednesday that “The Bulletin acted properly in requesting and receiving the documents concerning the new employees of the District Attorney’s Office. “It is clearly newsworthy and in the public interest for taxpayers to know who they are paying to take on the challenging and noble work of prosecuting crime. At the same time, The Bulletin has not in the past, nor will in the future, publish material of a personal nature. “Knowing that, the only explanation for this continued expensive and self-serving crusade against good citizens and journalists is that District Attorney Flaherty seeks to be the ultimate arbiter of public information regardless of state law and citizens’ interest. “As said previously, The Bulletin will stand for disclosure and transparency and defend its rights in the courts.”

with criminal proceedings, but does list a series of internships and jobs dealing with environmental law during her time at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. On the other end of the experience spectrum is new deputy Thomas Howes, who served four years as the elected Deschutes County district attorney in the mid-1980s prior to Dugan’s tenure. But in his application, Howes lists only his three most recent positions. He served for almost two years, combined, with the Lincoln County and Grant County district attorneys’ offices, followed by 10 years as a self-employed private practice attorney. Eric Marvin, Flaherty’s fourth new deputy, worked at one time for J. Pat Horton, hired by Flaherty as a management analyst. Marvin’s application also lists Horton as a reference. A graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the University of Oregon School of Law, Marvin worked for the Eugene firm of Horton, Koenig, Barnes, Sabit and Spence for five months, beginning in 1998, which is the year he was admitted to the bar. His application indicates that he represented clients in civil and criminal cases and was supervised by Horton, the firm’s managing partner. For the next two years, ending in September 2000, Marvin worked as an assistant DA for the Lane County District Attorney’s Office. Between September 2003 and the beginning of his service in Flaherty’s office, Marvin represented a Eugene-based developer of commercial real estate. The application of Horton is

notable for what it does not include. The two-page form, submitted Jan. 4, lists no references and no prior work experience. Nonetheless, Horton is a very experienced prosecutor. He served as the elected district attorney for Lane County between 1973 and 1985 and recently reactivated his license to practice law after allowing it to lapse for 11 years. The two men hired to serve as investigators have similarly long résumés. One is former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles, and the other is former Bend Police Lt. Jerry Stone. Flaherty has said that Stiles and Stone would be working half-time, and that is noted in the letter formally offering Stiles a position in his office. The letter advises Stiles that as a former public employee receiving payments from the Public Employees Retirement System, his payments will be reduced if he works more than 1,039 hours in a single year. Stone worked for the Bend Police from 1978 through 2005 and supervised both detectives and patrol officers. The final application released to The Bulletin last week is that of Diane Stecher, whom Flaherty hired as the victims’ assistance program coordinator. She writes in her application that she has spent the past 10 years providing services to victims of and witnesses to violent crimes for the Boise Police Department. Stecher previously spent eight years in a similar position for the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.

Continued from C1 He pointed to the failure of the city to attract a four-year university to the development — something he called a “pipe dream” — and lack of a contingency plan should land sale projections not pan out. “For almost a decade now, futility, frustration and failure of that project have not achieved anything of value despite the dubious consumption of $20 million dollars using the city’s own fuzzy math to underwrite the project,” Siewert said. “(Ditz) has not generated $1 of revenue or laid one brick in 27 months.” Since 2005, the city has spent about $18 million on Juniper Ridge. It has earned about $9.5 million from land sales over the same period. The three businesses that have bought land are Les Schwab, Suterra LLC and PacifiCorp.

Continued from C1 “We enjoy our relationship that we have with the college,” said Ross Alexander, the restaurant’s general manager. “We are a big supporter of the COCC Foundation and want to keep a strong community college in this town.” There’s more than just food. “Sometimes you’ll see the restaurant chef chat with customers in a way they won’t be able to at the restaurant,” said Sara Goodrich, co-coordinator of the event. A reccurring theme was the desire to support the community and education in central Oregon. “We’re local. I was born and raised here,” said George Tate, of Tate and Tate Catering.

HIGH WINDS MAKING A MESS IN WASHINGTON

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK! Hey Mary, did you know you could win $500 and a weekend at the coast?

REALLY?! Just for filling out a local survey online?

Meegan M. Reid / Kitsap Sun

Fallen power lines and tree limbs litter a street in Silverdale, Wash., on Wednesday. High winds tore through Northwestern Washington on Wednesday, closing roads and causing power outages across the area.

O B Man awakes to find dog ate 3 of his toes ROSEBURG — A diabetic Roseburg man with no feeling in his feet woke up to find his dog had eaten part of his right foot, including three toes. The Roseburg News-Review reported that the 61-year-old man, whose name was not disclosed by police, was in serious condition after calling 911 at about 3 a.m. Tuesday. The man told emergency responders that he fell asleep on his couch and woke up to find pieces of his foot missing. Roseburg veterinarian Alan Ross said the dog may have been trying to rid his owner of dead tissue, and says he may have been attracted to the foot if it were infected or gangrenous. Ross said the dog doesn’t need corrective action because it wasn’t “acting out of meanness.”

Wolf fitted with collar found dead GRANTS PASS — One of the young wolves from the Imnaha pack in Northeastern Oregon that was recently fitted with a radio-tracking collar has been found dead. The Oregon Department of

Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday there were no signs of foul play. The carcass was shipped to Washington State University to determine the cause of death. Steve Pedery of Oregon Wild, a conservation group, said it is possible the stress of being tranquilized for the radio collar fitting was a factor. He said while they support fitting wolves with radio collars to prevent conflicts with livestock, there are other, less expensive steps — such as electric fences and flagging around stock pens — that are not being taken.

State may add ‘wine country’ license plates SALEM — Oregon drivers can go with the basic fir tree license plate or for a little more money order Crater Lake, salmon or cultural trust plates. They would have one more choice — wine country — under legislation sponsored by Rep. Kevin Cameron of Salem. The idea is backed by Cultivating Communities, an arm of Travel Salem. The Statesman Journal reported the sale of wine country plates would go to projects in Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties and encourage tourism statewide. — From wire reports

MIAMI — The side door to the newly refurbished gym opened, a blast of sunlight splashed into the darkened corner, and 100 children began shrieking in unison. LeBron James was thrilled. “It never gets old,” James said. That was the reception Wednesday when the LeBron James Family Foundation and Hewlett-Packard began rolling out what will soon be 1,000 new computers to 59 different Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. At the Miami club, the roof is getting replaced and workspaces for kids are being spruced up with furniture from the HomeCourt line that James designs with girlfriend Savannah Brinson. It’s all part of the commitment James made last summer, when his hourlong “The Decision” special last year — in which he said he was joining the Miami Heat — raised more than $3 million for charity. “I know a lot comes with being a professional athlete,” James said in an interview with The Associated Press. “That’s also being a role model to a lot of kids that look up to me. This automatically comes with it. And I have nothing but time for kids. I could easily be at home and just relaxing. ... But the opportunity to be here and giving back to these kids, I’m happy to do it.” — The Associated Press

Panthers lose their opener in state playoffs

De sch

NEW YORK — An investigation of 25 top college football programs by Sports Illustrated and CBS News has revealed that Oklahoma and TCU were the only ones to do criminal background checks on recruits. SI and CBS News did various criminal background checks on all the players on the rosters of the teams in Sports Illustrated’s 2010 preseason top 25 as of Sept. 1. According to the story posted Wednesday on SI.com, the study found about 7 percent of the 2,837 players — 204 total — “had been in trouble with the law either before or after entering college.” NCAA President Mark Emmert, who was attending a Rotary Club event in Baton Rouge, La., on Wednesday, said the 7 percent figure appears “pretty unacceptable,” but also stressed that the NCAA needs more information on the subject. “It’s surprising when you see a number that large and we need to do some homework,” Emmert said. “We don’t know what that (number) looks like relative to the regular student body. We don’t know what that looks like relative to society at large.” Oregon and Oregon State were included in the study. — The Associated Press

Sherars Falls

Greg Cross / The Bulletin

Deschutes spring chinook Most of the spring chinook salmon that enter the Deschutes from the Pacific Ocean via the Columbia River return to the Warm Springs River to spawn. Before they turn south into the Deschutes, they must pass over Bonneville and The Dalles dams. Sherars Falls is the most popular place to fish for Deschutes chinook, because bait is allowed and the salmon gather at the bottom of the falls.

Spring chinook salmon, pictured here in a tributary of the North Umpqua River, are among of the most highly prized fish in the Northwest.

t was a close call, but anglers this year can once again enjoy a season of spring chinook salmon fishing on the Lower Deschutes. The projected run of spring chinook is “just barely large enough” to allow for a fishing season, according to Rod French, a fish biologist based in The Dalles for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife . HUNTING The season is & FISHING scheduled to run from April 15 to July 31, and it will include a one-fish daily bag limit instead of the typical two-fish limit. “It’s not a huge run by any means,” French said this week. “That’s why we have a one-fish bag limit.” French and other fish biologists are predicting a run of about 1,000 wild spring chinook to return to the Warm Springs River, along with between 4,000 and 5,000 hatchery fish. Last year, 1,600 spring chinook returned to the Warm Springs River, as well as about 8,000 hatchery chinook. “The wild run is well down,” French said. “We have to be very cautious.” Because the ODFW seeks to protect the wild salmon, the predicted size of the run of wild fish is the main factor in determining if a fishing season will be set. French added that biologists are concerned about wild fish dying after they are caught and released by anglers. Only hatchery fish (adipose fin clipped) may be harvested. The ODFW’s management goal is for 1,000 wild spring chinook to return to the Warm Springs River. In years when the run is projected to be fewer than 1,000, the Lower Deschutes typically will not open for spring chinook fishing. See Springers / D4

BEAVERTON — Redmond struggled to handle Beaverton’s defensive pressure Wednesday night as the Panthers fell 66-29 in the first round of the Class 6A girls state basketball playoffs. Redmond, which advanced to the postseason with a 57-46 playin victory over Roseburg Friday, committed 26 turnovers in the loss that ended the Panthers’ season. “They were aggressive and we couldn’t handle it,” Redmond coach Nathan Covill said. “We did some OK things in the first quarter, but that pressure and aggressiveness took its toll.” The Beavers (20-6 overall) grabbed an 18-8 lead by the end of the first quarter and held a 2715 advantage at halftime. Beaverton’s Nicole Hartzog scored a game-high 18 points for the Beavers. Karlee Nordstrom paced the Panthers (10-17) with eight points. “It’s a learning experience,” Covill said. “If we hope to get to that next level we’ll have to use this as a learning experience.” Even with the lopsided defeat, Redmond defied the odds and advanced to the postseason despite being just 4-13 at one point in the season. The Panthers ended the regular season winning six of their past nine games before running into Beaverton.

It’s getting harder for sanity MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL to win in Off the bubble, ready to cause trouble labor talks What teams are poised to make a run in the upcoming NCAA tournament? By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — It’s time to forget February and separate the schools you didn’t want to play in December and January, Texas and Villanova, from the teams you don’t want to play now. Timing is everything as the NCAA tournament approaches. Texas started out 11-0 in Big 12 Conference play and seemed on track to challenge for a championship in Houston, site of this year’s Final Four. Wouldn’t it be cool if the Longhorns replicated the Dallas Cowboys’ feat of winning this year’s Super Bowl in their home state? Oh, wait ... those best-laid plans didn’t materialize. See Bubble / D3

UCLA has won eight of its past nine games.

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

As the clock strikes midnight today on the NFL’s labor contract, it’s probably safe to say the same fans who can diagram a 43 defense blindfolded don’t have much of an understanding of the issues that could lead to empty stadiums next fall. They’re hardly alone, because at first glance the whole thing seems like a fight between millionaires and billionaires that is as unnecessary as it is ill-timed. Hard-liners on both sides have taken it to the brink, and there’s no indication that sanity will prevail before the current collective bargaining agreement expires and things really begin to get nasty.

Maple Leafs knock off Penguins in overtime TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t ready to let their playoff dreams slip away. Trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 after a lackluster opening 40 minutes Wednesday night, the players took an honest assessment of their situation during the intermission. “I think we realized that it’s do or die,” forward Clarke MacArthur said. The Maple Leafs responded with a rare third-period comeback. Phil Kessel tied it and set up Mikhail Grabovski’s winner just 42 seconds into overtime. The 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh moved Toronto within four points of eighth-place Carolina in the Eastern Conference standings. “We came out storming in the

third,” said James Reimer, who made 27 saves. “The guys deserved it. ... It was a real sweet victory for us, it was a good one to watch.” There was little time for celebration as the team boarded a plane immediately after the game and flew to Philadelphia. They’ll face the conference-leading Philadelphia Flyers — and former teammate Kris Versteeg — tonight. After improving to 9-2-4 since the All-Star break, the Leafs wanted to focus on the strong finish against the Penguins rather than the flat opening. “It’s good for our confidence,” coach Ron Wilson said. “We were a little tentative, a little tight for most of the game. We found a way to hang in there.” Nikolai Kulemin also scored for

the Maple Leafs. Matt Niskanen and Chris Conner replied for Pittsburgh. Some bizarre scheduling saw the Penguins play their second consecutive game at Air Canada Centre. They returned to Pittsburgh for a couple days of practice after their 6-5 shootout victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday before coming back to Toronto.

Basketball • Heat finalize signing of point guard Bibby: Mike Bibby signed with the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, the deal being finalized quickly after the 13year veteran point guard cleared waivers and became a free agent. Bibby is expected to be with the Heat when they host Orlando on Thursday. Heat president Pat Riley says the signing moves Miami “into the direction of our championship dreams.” His signing is not a surprise. When Bibby was traded by Atlanta to Washington last week, there was immediate speculation that Bibby would seek a buyout from the Wizards. • Jazz sign coach Corbin to multiyear deal: The Utah Jazz signed head coach Ty Corbin to a multiyear contract less than a month after he succeeded Jerry Sloan, who resigned in his 23rd season as head coach. Terms of the deal were not announced Wednesday. Jazz officials made it clear upon Sloan’s Feb. 10 resignation that Corbin would be their coach of the future. Corbin, who had served as an assistant under Sloan since the 2004-05 season, is the seventh head coach in Jazz history.

Football • NFL, union head to CBA deadline day: Locked in a multibillion-dollar staredown, the NFL and the players’ union headed toward the final day of their expiring collective bargaining agreement with no word of significant progress and the increasing likelihood of moves that eventually could threaten the 2011 season. The sides were scheduled to resume federal mediation this morning. The current labor deal runs out at midnight Eastern time as today becomes Friday, and among the possibilities are that the union decertifies sometime before that deadline; the deadline could be extended; or owners could decide to lock out the players, something the union has expected all along. Depending on which of those occurs, the country’s most popular sport might wind up losing regular-season games to a work stoppage for the first time since 1987. • NCAA president would help with playoff system: NCAA President Mark Emmert said Wednesday that he’s willing to help create a playoff format to decide a national championship for the top level of college football. However, that won’t happen unless the leaders of institutions fielding teams in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision want to make such a change after contracts with the current Bowl Championship Series expire in 2014. “If the leadership of those universities ... want to move in that direction, then the NCAA knows how to run championships and we’d be happy to help,” Emmert said while speaking at the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge, of which he was a member while serving as LSU’s chancellor from 1999-2004. Emmert stopped short of endorsing a playoff, saying that the NCAA also sees value in the bowl system.

Baseball • Teixeira ends relationship with agent Boras: Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has ended his relationship with longtime agent Scott Boras. Teixeira made the announcement before Wednesday’s spring training game against Houston. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while,” Teixeira said. “There’s no reason to get into a lot of specifics right now, but sometimes business relationships just run their course. For me, my family right now, this is the best decision for me.” Teixeira said Boras took the news OK, but obviously was disappointed. • Oakland’s Crisp arrested on DUI charge: Oakland Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, the third major league player to be charged with DUI during spring training. The A’s said in a statement that Crisp was arrested early Wednesday in Scottsdale. He was released from jail and arrived at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in time to take part in pre-game drills before Oakland’s exhibition against the Cleveland Indians. Crisp was in the clubhouse before the game but did not speak with reporters. The team said it is taking Crisp’s situation “seriously.”

• Serena Williams treated for blood clot in lungs: Serena Williams’ absence from tennis could stretch to almost a year after two new health scares — a blood clot in her lungs followed by a hematoma — have added to her injury woes. Her agents confirmed Wednesday that Williams was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism last week and later needed treatment for a hematoma. The 13-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played an official match since winning Wimbledon last July. Her latest health problems have been “extremely hard, scary and disappointing,” Williams said in a statement. “I am doing better. I’m at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control. I know I will be OK, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon.” The younger sister of seventime major champion Venus Williams has been out of competition since she cut her right foot on broken glass at a restaurant shortly after winning her fourth Wimbledon title July 3. Her comeback has been repeatedly delayed by complications with the injury.

• Mike Davis chosen as head of USGA: Mike Davis is taking over as executive director of the U.S. Golf Association without having to give up part of his old job that he loved the most — setting up golf courses for the U.S. Open. The USGA said Wednesday it has selected Davis to be its seventh executive director. He replaces David Fay, who retired in December after 21 years in charge. Davis, a 21-year veteran of the USGA and its senior director of rules and competition since 2005, has become popular with the players over the past five years for his sense of fairness in setting up U.S. Open courses.

Skiing • Canada takes historic sprint gold at Nordic worlds: Canada’s Devon Kershaw and Alex Harvey stunned heavily favored Norway in a photo finish to win the men’s team sprint Wednesday in the biggest surprise so far of the Nordic skiing world championships in Oslo, Norway. In other events, Sweden took the women’s team sprint, and Jason Lamy Chappuis of France took gold in the Nordic combined large hill event. In the women’s race, Charlotte Kalla broke away from Finland’s Krista Lahteenmaki and Norway’s Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen on the final lap to secure the gold for Sweden. — From wire reports

Portland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby, center, grabs a rebound between Sacramento Kings’ Jermaine Taylor, left, and Jason Thompson during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

Blazers top Kings in Sacramento The Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Nate McMillan thought the Portland Trail Blazers needed a wake-up call, so the coach made them watch their disappointing loss to Houston. This horror film definitely got to the Blazers. Wesley Matthews scored 11 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and Portland pulled away for a 107-102 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Blazers, who were coming off a 103-87 home loss against the Rockets and had dropped three of four overall. Andre Miller had 19 points, Nicolas Batum added 17 and Patty Mills finished with 14. “I tortured them this morning by making them watch last night’s game,” McMillan said. “We showed them just what they looked like (against Houston).” McMillan has used the tactic in the past, but Aldridge admitted it’s typically a good motivator. “I might have fell asleep (watching the film),” Aldridge joked. “Seriously, you don’t want to see yourself looking that bad. We know defensively we looked bad against Houston. We really picked it up tonight.” Rookie center DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings, who have lost two straight and six of eight. Marcus Thornton scored 26 points, Beno Udrih added 13 and Jermaine Taylor and Jason Thompson each had 10. “For the most part, this was an example of an experienced team jumping on mistakes at an opportune time that an inexperienced team made,” Kings coach Paul Westphal said. “We did a lot of good things, but we couldn’t come away with a win.” Portland put together a 7-0 run to take a 102-95 lead with 51 seconds left. Batum made a wide-open three-pointer, Gerald Wallace dunked off an alley-oop pass from Matthews and Aldridge converted a long jumper during the surge. The Trail Blazers, who have won a seasonhigh five consecutive road games, are one of a handful of teams fighting for the final playoff spots in the Western Conference. “It’s March and every game counts,” said Batum, who had three of the Blazers’ 11 steals. “We have 21 games remaining, so every game is a big one because the Western Conference is a tough place to play.” On Wednesday, Aldridge was named the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Month for February. Aldridge became the third player in franchise history to win

Coach Steve Lavin’s Red Storm is suddenly red-hot, with six wins against top-15 opponents. Dwight Hardy is coming off a 34-point performance in a win at Villanova. The Red Storm only cracked the Top 25 last week but has suddenly become very Big East boisterous. North Carolina (22-6): The Tar Heels are a six-point loss at Duke from being undefeated since Jan. 16. Coach Roy Williams should have clipped and framed last weekend’s Maryland box score in which guards Dexter Strickland and Kendall Marshall combined for 18 assists in the same

game forwards Harrison Barnes and Tyler Zeller combined for 46 points. North Carolina plays host to Duke on Saturday. Word is it’s a big rivalry. UCLA (21-8): John Wooden’s great-grandson scored the last basket in pre-renovation Pauley Pavilion, Ben Howland wept afterward, and then the Bruins got snubbed in Monday’s polls. No one in Westwood’s theatre department is asking, “What’s my motivation?” Some have UCLA projected to be seeded eighth in the East, with a possible second-round matchup against topranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes

should not be thrilled. Butler (21-9): There was life after Gordon Hayward, the golden-boy hero of last year’s run to the NCAA title game. It just took the Bulldogs half a season to regroup. Butler started 4-4 but has won seven straight entering the Horizon League tournament. There’s not enough in the tank for another Final Four foray, but Butler is capable of wrecking someone else’s “Hoosiers” dream.

PROVO, Utah — BYU players said they will continue to support former teammate Brandon Davies “like a brother” despite transgressions that got the starting forwarded kicked off the nation’s thirdranked team. There was no denying the Cougars were a different team in Wednesday night’s 82-64 loss to New Mexico. It was their first game without Davies, who on Tuesday was dismissed from the team for the rest of the season for violating the university’s honor code. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Davies engaged in premarital sex, a violation of the clause that says students must remain chaste and virtuous. “He told us he was sorry and let us down,” BYU guard Jimmer Fredette said after the game in which he scored 33 points but was only one of nine from three-point range. “We told him it’s OK. Sometimes in life we make mistakes. We’ve got to play through it.” Phillip McDonald scored 26 points to lead New Mexico (1911, 7-8 Mountain West Conference), which beat BYU (27-3, 13-2) for the second time this season.

D4 Thursday, March 3, 2011 â&#x20AC;˘ THE BULLETIN

NFL Continued from D1 Some things, though, are easier to understand. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the news this week that Michael Vick signed a oneyear deal that will pay him an estimated $20 million to play quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles next season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assuming, that is, there is a next season. Not only will Vick be able to pay his debtors with a contract that would have been unimaginable when he was making 12 cents an hour in prison, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help upgrade the salary range for his fellow quarterbacks in the process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that NFL players are well compensated. They should be, because their careers are generally short and they expose their bodies and heads to risks that athletes in other sports would never dream of. But the owners arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing badly, either, despite their protestations that they gave away the farm in the current contract and must snatch back at least $1 billion of the money they now have to share with players. Consider the case of one Jerry Jones, last seen trying to sell some rubes Super Bowl tickets with no seat. Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million and is now the proud owner of a franchise that Forbes magazine values at a whopping $1.8 billion. Jones is hardly alone, as his fellow owners have enjoyed returns on their investments that would make Bernard Madoff envious. Robert Kraft is one of them, parlaying his $172 million purchase of the New England Patriots in 1994 into a franchise that Forbes now values at a cool $1 billion more than that. No one begrudges them their profits, either. This is America, after all, and football is Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite sport in a landslide. But Jones, Kraft and their fellow billionaires are people accustomed to getting their way, which is one big reason why a league enjoying unparalleled popularity would risk alienating its rabid fans with a labor dispute that is clearly avoidable. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to increase their profit margins by lowering labor costs and increasing the workload and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t terribly concerned with the public relations backlash that will come if they lock

Springers Continued from D1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right at the edge,â&#x20AC;? French said. Still, the biologist noted that he does not anticipate an early closure of the season, which could result from a smallerthan-expected run. French said the Deschutes will also open to fall chinook fishing, with a twofish bag limit, beginning Aug. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fall chinook run is much stronger,â&#x20AC;? French said. The Lower Deschutes is technically closed to chinook salmon fishing but can be opened by temporary rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confusing for anglers at times, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot easier to open (the fishing seasons) than close them, so people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their hopes up,â&#x20AC;? French explained. He added that most anglers are not concerned about the reduction in the daily bag limit from two fish to one fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, anglers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be too disappointed, as long as they get the opportunity to fish,â&#x20AC;? French explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a prize, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fairly happy with just one.â&#x20AC;? The river did not open to spring chinook angling in 2009, due in large part to a meager wild chinook run of just 430 fish. For the 2008 season, the ODFW set a one-fish bag limit. Most of the spring chinook that enter the Deschutes from the Pacific Ocean via the Columbia River return to the Warm Springs River to spawn. Before they turn south into the Deschutes, they must pass over Bonneville and The Dalles dams. About 200,000 spring chinook are projected to return to the Columbia River this year, according to the ODFW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good run, but down from some of the huge ones in the last couple years,â&#x20AC;? French said. The spring chinook usually begin entering the Columbia in serious numbers in March, according to French, and they start entering the Deschutes in April. The biologist advised anglers

out the players. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also not above pulling a fast one to get what they want, which is what they did in strong-arming television networks and DirecTV into agreeing to deals that essentially guaranteed they would still get paid up to $4 billion in case the upcoming season is wiped out by the labor dispute. Unfortunately for the owners, a federal judge sided with players on Tuesday on that issue. It was an embarrassing setback for the billionaires, made even more embarrassing when the judge made public the confidential sweetheart deals the NFL had struck with its broadcast partners. Whether that will be an impetus to move negotiations forward is doubtful, and not just because the owners are hardnosed. Players who got almost everything they wanted in the last contract except guaranteed salaries have given no indication whatsoever that they intend to give back any of the gains, and they seem united against an 18-game season. Both the owners and the union have drawn their respective lines in the sand. The fact that both sides seem to have a genuine distrust toward each other is going to make it that much harder to get a deal done. Just what a lockout or possible union decertification means to fans depends on how long it goes on. Initially, it will cut into the buzz of the offseason because there will be no free agency, and the NFL draft next month surely will have a hollow feel because those drafted wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to bargain with their teams. It really will start to get messy by summer as the opening of training camps approaches. The worst-case scenario, of course, is that the NFL loses regular-season games to a work stoppage for the first time in 24 years. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet against that happening. The NFL takes in more than $9 billion a year, and you would think reasonable minds could figure out a way to divvy that up between owners and their hired help. Judging from the pace of negotiations so far, reasonable minds donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be running the show. Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

to monitor fish counts at The Dalles Dam to predict when the salmon will enter the Deschutes in significant numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we see a big daily number at The Dalles, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a week or two before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the Deschutes,â&#x20AC;? French said. Deschutes River spring chinook are smaller than spring chinook in other Oregon rivers, averaging 8 to 12 pounds. In the Columbia and Willamette rivers, they can grow to 20 pounds or more. The highly coveted fish are considered the best-tasting salmon, extremely fat and rich in salmon oil, whose health benefits to humans have been well documented. The spring chinook is one of the most prized fish in the entire Northwest. And that is one of the reasons why the riverbanks near Sherars Falls in the springtime are packed with fishermen. The Lower Deschutes is open to spring chinook fishing from the falls, just north of Maupin, downstream (north) to the mouth of the river at the Columbia. Sherars Falls is by far the most popular area for anglers because the salmon tend to gather below the falls, and it is the only stretch of the river where bait is allowed for chinook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stacked up, trying to figure out how to get over the fish ladder,â&#x20AC;? French said of the spring chinook at Sherars Falls. Anglers at Sherars try a variety of baits to land a chinook, including eggs, tuna balls, shrimp even anchovies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it all at Sherars,â&#x20AC;? French said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see at other river fisheries go on at Sherars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they work. Some guys are there year after year, fishing from the same rock.â&#x20AC;? More solitude can be found farther downstream, where anglers often employ plugs and spinners to land the salmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have the whole river to yourself,â&#x20AC;? French said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swimming right by.â&#x20AC;? Mark Morical can be reached at 541-383-0318 or at mmorical@bendbulletin.com.

GARY LEWIS

ix of us sat down for dinner. We were in South America, but one of the fellows at our table was from New York, a vegan, according to the tradition he followed; the other was from Germany. Halfway through dinner, the German, Georg, said his ultimate dream was to hunt in the United States. Because our hunting has its roots in Europe, I was interested to hear how the hunt is administered on his continent. Germany is about the same size as the state of Montana, with 80 million more people. There, 450,000 jaegers (hunters) act as game wardens, wildlife biologists and pest control agents. To obtain a license, a hunter must pass a hunter-education course. Most opt for the yearlong study, but others go for the threeor four-week full-time crash course. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Georg did it. Exam content differs from Bavaria to Berlin and other regions, each with its varied conservation objectives. The would-be hunter is handed a catalog of 1,500 questions and answers to be learned by heart. A test is given at the end of each week. Blow one test and you blow the class. Topics include: hunting law, conservation, dog management, plant identification as it relates to animals, forest management, ballistics and weapon components. Students are drilled on species identification, including endangered species, breeding season and whether the animal is monogamous. The student studies predatory birds and learns what types of hawks kill in the air and which raptors kill their prey on the ground. Students examine deer teeth for age and study antler growth and differentiation within species. They are expected to know how to identify the damage a deer does to a tree and what happens to the tree in the succeeding years. Proper methods of the hunt are discussed, including which tunes are blown on the horn to start the hunt and what horn is blown when game is presented at dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. A shooting test determines a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim while standing, resting against a pole or prone. Paper mache roe deer targets are presented at 70 meters and 120

Hunter education is much different in the United States than it is in Europe. meters. Running rabbit or boar targets are put on a chain and shot at 35 meters. Next, the student is expected to take apart and reassemble all manner of rifles, pistols, shotguns and the right ammunition to use for each gun. It is verboten to take any big game with a shotgun except wild boar with a slug. A student must learn by heart the times when the game is allowed to be shot. When an animal is hit, the hunter must mark the spot in a certain way. Harvested game is to be treated with a moment of silence. A downed roe deer is laid on its right side with a small branch of oak or fir, called Der letzte biss (the last bite) placed in its mouth. The hunter is presented with a branch to be worn on the left side of the hatband until sunset. Lederhosen-clad hunters in Germany are accorded respect as citizens of high standing and greeted with the Waidmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heil. Here at home in the United States, the hunter is as big a part of the conservation effort as his or her counterpart in Europe. Our hunting tradition, though European in its heritage, is based on accessibility to the common man. In Germany, all hunting takes place on private land. Here, in Oregon, the hunter enjoys access to ground owned by all Americans. A hunter might be trained in a family of hunters or taught by volunteers at a hunter education class. In Oregon, a person can become a jaegermeister by enrolling in the Master Hunter class (see page 83 in the 2011 Oregon Big Game

Regulations). Kids can start with the hunter education class. In our state, when a child passes hunter education, they can hunt small game and birds. To hunt bigger game, a hunter must be at least 12 years old, unless they are enrolled in the Mentored Youth Hunter Program. The MYHP allows youths between the ages of 9 and 13 to hunt with a licensed adult. Outside of the MYHP, hunter ed is mandatory for anyone under the age of 18 who intends to hunt anywhere other than on family land. Classes are held during the spring and summer. In Deschutes County, the next class begins this Monday. To register, call 541-388-6363. Programs, such as those sponsored by 4H and COSSA (www. oregonshooting.com), teach technique and instill discipline. Those who do not intend their child to hunt should still consider hunter ed, because everyone will be exposed to guns at some point in their lives. Safety education teaches a respect for firearms that can keep them and others safe. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time like now to get your kids involved, because target shooting and the hunt help a youngster to better appreciate the natural world and their place in it. And the tradition connects people of all cultures wherever they sit down to dinner.

FLY-TYING CORNER By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

March Brown, courtesy The Patient Angler.

This fly is a classic that has stood the test of time. Tied to represent a mayfly, its wings are durable and, coated with floatant, it rides high on the surface. Fish it dead drift on a long leader to rising fish or employ it as a searching pattern. The Western March Brown hatch marks the end of winter. It may still be cold outside, but this mayfly can turn up the temperature of the fishing when it makes its first appearance. Look for March Brown hatches through the end of June and again in September. Tie the March Brown with tan thread on a No. 12-14 dry-fly hook. For the tail, use brown hackle fibers. Tie in a strand of dark brown 3/0 thread to use for ribbing. Twist on tan dubbing, tapering the body as shown. Wrap ribbing forward. Tie in split wings of mallard flank or wood duck fibers. Wrap a grizzly and a brown hackle to finish.

Sno-parks in good shape despite warming By Breanna Hostbjor The Bulletin

Snow-sports enthusiasts take heart: Despite recent warming weather, conditions in area snoparks are mostly holding steady. “Most snoparks do have very good to adequate snow,” said Chris Sabo, Deschutes National Forest trails supervisor. A possible exception is Six Mile Sno-park, which has less coverage. The warmer weather — which is expected to continue through the weekend — has begun to melt the snow, however, so expect it to be on the heavy side. This is especially important for those venturing into backcountry areas, as warm temperatures and weak snow can lead to an increased risk of avalanches, according to Sabo. Expect moderate to heavy trail use over the weekend, especially since the Bachelor Butte Dog Derby will be taking place at Wanoga Sno-park. Some nearby areas will have guides out and about, asking snowmobilers to slow down or stop to let racers pass through. Check bulletin boards for daily race details. And as tempting as the springlike temperatures can be, Sabo also cautions that outdoor enthusiasts need to be mindful of trail etiquette and of safety. Local areas have seen increasing snowshoe use, and while trails aren’t typically closed to snowshoers, these recreationists should be mindful of good trail behavior. See Trails / E3

SPOTLIGHT Seafood dinner will benefit hospice

Experience the knotted-up expressions of our region’s ancient forest By Ben Salmon The Bulletin

f you’re a regular reader of The Bulletin’s Outing page and you’re the kind of person who pays attention to bylines, you may have noticed a couple of things in recent years: 1) A handful of us in the newsroom have rotated responsibility for these articles ever since the paper’s longtime outdoors writer, Jim Witty, died unexpectedly in 2008. And … 2) Among that handful, I am the least outdoorsy. It’s not that I don’t like the outdoors. I do. It’s just that I’m more naturally in-

clined to go see a band at Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom than to go camping at Silver Falls State Park. My lack of outdoorsy-ness has always made me feel slightly out of place in this nature-crazed region, never more so than when I approached Jim about six months after I moved here to ask for a recommendation. I had family in town and wanted to take them on a fun, low-key hike to show them what Central Oregon has to offer without wearing them out. He asked me if I knew about This Trail. I didn’t. He asked if I knew about That Trail. Nope. See Outing / E6

Baltazar’s restaurant in Bend, along with Leroy and Lori Cabana, will host a four-course seafood dinner March 13 to benefit Redmond-Sisters Hospice. The meals include crab taquitos and choices among halibut, crab and shrimp enchiladas or Alaskan salmon. Cost is $30 per person, alcohol not included. Seating times are at 4:30 p.m. or 6:45 p.m. Baltazar’s is located at 1465 S.W. Knoll Ave. Reservations are required. Contact: Buffy Kurowski at 541-548-7483 or events@ bendbroadband.com.

High Desert Museum accreditation renewed

Photos by Ben Salmon / The Bulletin

Western juniper trees come in all shapes, colors and conditions along the Ancient Juniper Trail in the Badlands east of Bend. Pictured are the barks of several junipers on the trail.

The High Desert Museum, south of Bend, has been awarded re-accreditation by the American Association of Museums. AAM accreditation is the highest national recognition given to museums in the United States, according to a press release. To earn accreditation, a museum must conduct a year of self-study and receive a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. Of the estimated 17,500 museums in the country, 775 are accredited. The High Desert Museum has been accredited since 1999. The museum offers up-close wildlife, living history performances, Native American and Western art, nature trails and more.

Cousin’s dyspeptic wife spoils family events Dear Abby: Every year for the last six years, I have hosted a family gathering at my home. Each and every year, my cousin’s wife “Jodie” does everything possible to ensure that we all know she’s upset about something. She’ll sit on my couch as far removed from the family as possible, grumbling under her breath to her husband. Jodie never says more than four words to me (the hostess) the entire time — none of which are “thank you” — then she feigns food poisoning! (No one else gets sick.) This has been going on longer than the six years I have hosted this event. My question is, would it be tactless of me to ask my cousin to leave his wife home next year? I am not the only family member who is disgusted with Jodie’s behavior. I think we’d all have a better time if she wasn’t there. Would that be wrong of me? — Sick of Coddling Her in Illinois Dear Sick: For a person to repeatedly act the way you have described is not normal behavior. Your cousin’s wife may suffer from some significant emotional problems. Is no one in your family close enough to your cousin to express concern about it? While it would, indeed, be tactless to tell him to leave his wife home instead of bringing her to a family gathering, it might be less so to mention gently that you have noticed she doesn’t enjoy herself when she visits — and that her attendance isn’t compulsory. Then listen to what he has to say because it may be enlightening. Dear Abby: My sister “Blanche” has always depended on men to support her. She was married briefly, and after her divorce started going from one man to another. Her children are grown, but when they were young they had to endure their mother’s lifestyle. Blanche has just moved in with another man. She’s 45, and has no job or money, but has gotten good at selling her pity story.

DEAR ABBY Unfortunately, her new boyfriend, “Stanley,” is an old friend of mine. Although we haven’t been in contact for years, I’m concerned about his dating my sister. He’s going through some hard times due to the loss of a family member. Blanche moved in with him to “help him grieve.” Abby, I know the damage my sister can cause. It never turns out pretty. She uses people to get what she wants, then if it turns sour, she becomes a stalker. She has refused my recommendations for counseling. I feel obligated to let Stanley’s family know about Blanche’s history. She’s trying to prevent me from contacting him because she doesn’t want her past revealed. What do you suggest? — Fearful Sis in Missouri Dear Fearful Sis: I strongly recommend that rather than telling Stanley’s family your sister’s history, you tell Stanley directly. To do otherwise would be interpreted as an underhanded attempt to break up his romance, would not be appreciated, and could only bring them closer. Dear Abby: Help! If one spouse snores, the other can’t sleep. Please print some solutions to this problem that have worked for your readers. We sleep in separate beds almost every night. — Seeking Slumber in Santa Barbara Dear Seeking Slumber: When one spouse snores so loudly that it keeps the other awake, it could be a symptom of a serious medical problem. While my readers may be kind enough to offer home remedies, my advice is that the snorer should consult his or her physician.

The food is just a side dish in new restaurant reality show By David Wiegan d San Francisco Chronicle

San Francisco — Given the frenzy of copycatting among TV reality shows, one can’t help wondering if eventually the shows in every subgenre will evolve into one huge megareality show. It seems only slightly hyperbolic to imagine tribes of toque-topped chefs gathering in remote jungle locations and having to dance away their excess poundage while cutting through decades of hoarded household supplies to reach Donald Trump’s office and persuade him to back their own restaurant-slash-designer boutiques, with intervention facilitators serving as the wait staff. The next step in this evolutionary inevitability arrives Sunday night as NBC unveils “America’s Next Great Restaurant,” in which contestants ranging from a former WNBA player to a pet waste removal expert pitch their ideas for chains of fast-casual eating places to a panel of four judges. Lest you think this is just an exact copy of Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” know that we are not talking duck a l’orange with fingerling potatoes here. The clue to that fact comes in the opening of the premiere episode, as we learn about the provenance of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Subway and Chipotle, whose founder, Steve Ells, is one of the quartet of judges. The other three are chefs Bob-

What makes the show at least mildly interesting is that it’s not always easy to predict who will make it to the next round and who will be cut. That’s because “ Greatest Restaurant” focuses as much on the business side of opening a new place as the gastronomy. by Flay, Lorena Garcia and Curtis Stone, a Rod Stewart look-alike. At its wackiest, “American Idol” can still be an occasional guilty pleasure, and the guiltiest pleasure of that show comes early in the season, when every wackadoo from Waco to Wabash proves the lure of fame can turn anyone into a tonedeaf exhibitionist. Alas, this is one aspect of “Idol” that “Great Restaurant” doesn’t rip off, which is too bad. By the time the show opens, the contestants have been narrowed to a paltry 21, leaving us only to imagine the possibilities left untried by the early elimination of one contestant who wanted to start a chain featuring “lactation smoothies,” or another who was aiming for combination gun stores and cafes (Given America’s ever widening obesity problem, maybe you’d need a back-end check as well as a background check to order a stack with butter, syrup and a sidearm.) Some of the themes seem like sure winners, others, not

so much. One contest wants to demystify and popularize Indian-themed food, while a couple (who used to date, we learn) want to focus on Southern food and call their restaurants Hick’s. And then there’s Joe, with a big mouth and an ego to match. He already has a few chicken wing fast-casuals in the Los Angeles area called Big Wangs. He wants to launch another chain of smaller restaurants that he’ll call Little Wangs. He’s the least popular guy among the finalists, but you figure he’ll cause so much trouble, the judges wouldn’t dare eliminate him. At the same time, Fran seems focused, professional and has a seemingly can’t-miss idea to feature “sports wraps” in her restaurants — wraps with healthful ingredients. And then there’s the other Joe, from New York, who wants to build a business around his grandmother’s meatball recipe and call the places Saucy Balls. But what makes the show at least mildly interesting is that it’s not always easy to

predict who will make it to the next round and who will be cut. That’s because “Greatest Restaurant” focuses as much on the business side of opening a new place as the gastronomy. In the opening episodes, the finalists work with graphic designers to come up with logos for their themes and hire chefs they think will get what they are trying to do. The show has only seven weeks of elimination rounds before a winner will be chosen to open restaurants in New York, Minneapolis and Los Angeles. That’s not a long time, which makes “Greatest Restaurant” seem like a lot of “fast” and not very much “casual.” What’s also missing so far are wacky judges, in either the Cowell or Abdul mold, and a chance for the contestants’ personalities to emerge and perhaps clash. These things may not mean much in terms of the success or failure of a new restaurant, but they’re often a key ingredient for a satisfying reality show.

Spotlight still shines on ’70s heartthrob David Cassidy, 60 By Maggie Galehouse Houston Chronicle

Interviewing David Cassidy is a bit like following someone across a stream on a trail of slippery rocks. The former teen heartthrob and Partridge Family star lights from one subject to the next so swiftly, there’s no choice but to keep moving and trust you’ll make it to the other side. But he’s friendly. And when he breaks into song — a few bars of Chuck Berry’s “Nadine,” the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” — his voice catapults you back to the era of shag haircuts and celebs with no muscle tone. “I think I love you,” Cassidy sang. And millions loved him back. David Cassidy turns 61 next month. During the past four decades, he has starred on Broadway, headlined Vegas shows, appeared on TV, done revival tours, pleaded no contest to DUI charges, gotten married (three times) and raised two children. This year marks a quiet Cassidy renaissance, with the entertainer in the pages of a new novel and returning to television Sunday on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.” “It was grueling hard work,” Cassidy says of his first stint on reality TV. “I enjoyed what we were doing, but we worked our tails off.” The show gave him a chance to catch up with a few celebrities he already knew, including fellow apprentices LaToya Jackson, Meat Loaf and Dionne Warwick.

Keeping busy Clearly a busy guy, Cassidy is speaking on a cell phone from a farm near Ocala, Fla., where he breeds thoroughbreds. He bought his first horse at age 23. He is also touring, singing Partridge Family songs and other hits at casinos and theaters. “Doing musicals and theatrical productions, I never did any of my hits,” he explains. “Now I’m going out and doing these great songs that I haven’t sung in years.” In the 1970s, Cassidy reached a level of popularity comparable to Elvis and the Beatles. He got 50,000 fan letters a week. “I had people sleeping in front of my home,” he recalls. “I couldn’t go anywhere. It con-

Trails Continued from E1 If there is a broken ski track, snowshoers are asked to not walk through it. And on groomed trails, like those at Virginia Meissner Sno-park, they should walk at least two feet off the trail rather than in the center of the groomed area that skate-skiers use. The past week also saw a few

fronted me from the moment I woke up. There would be 100 people at the lot where we shot ‘The Partridge Family.’ ” Six Partridge Family albums went gold. Although the TV series ran only four seasons (19701974), Cassidy’s face was everywhere — on magazines, bubblegum cards, board games. But the man who played pop singer Keith Partridge had musical tastes that ran along a different track. “I saw Hendrix four times, saw Cream. It was amazing for me growing up in the musical decade of the ’60s. I saw the Beatles on television and went out and bought an electric guitar.”

In the family Cassidy’s son, Beau, is a rhythm guitarist in a band that Cassidy describes as “a little like Coldplay meets pop.” Beau has been in the studio recording for the first time with his band. “They’re all prodigies,” Cassidy gushes. Beau, 20, is the same age Cassidy was when cast as Keith Partridge. Although that’s more than 40 years ago, British writer Allison Pearson offers a fresh take on the Cassidy era in a new book called — what else? — “I Think I Love You.” The first half of the book follows 13-year-old Petra, who lives in Wales and sneaks away to London to see Cassidy in concert. The second half picks up when Petra is 38 and discovers an old letter that will bring Cassidy back into her life. Cassidy is thrilled with the book. “I thought her examination of the human condition of a 13year-old girl was amazing,” he says.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 3, 2011: This year, you open up to many ideas. Your immediate circle of friends, associates in the workplace and community acquaintances seem to be an endless source of support and suggestions. You also change this circle by adding different people and new influences. Your sixth sense or intuition guides you. Trust yourself and trust your inner knowledge. If you are single, you will meet people. Perhaps you’ll meet “the one” through your immediate circle. Make sure anyone you date is known by someone you know! Total strangers could be problematic. If you are attached, plan that special romantic getaway you’ve so often discussed. Do it! See how your relationship is enhanced by that experience. AQUARIUS understands much more than you know. 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) HHHH A dream sets the tone. You might be thinking about realizing this possibility. You are direct and strong, knowing what it is you desire. Dealings with those in charge could test your limits, but for now, be compliant. Tonight: Take needed free time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Don’t distort what another person says, especially if that person is a boss or higher-up. Verify by repeating a message or a question. Focus. Networking helps open up new ideas. Work with a new approach or idea. Tonight: Where the crowds are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHHH Believe in yourself. Take this extremely positive attitude into work, your daily life or a meeting. A partner appears to be on the verge of going on the warpath. Work with his or her anger, helping him or her to use it in an appropriate way. Let go of a hostile comment or two. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Resist subtlety when speaking about a situation. No innuendoes; use clear language. On some level you might feel nervous or insecure. Stop; have a talk with yourself. Note that you are surrounded by some very strong-willed people. Tonight: Start thinking “weekend”! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Sometimes you shake your head at the politics involved in clearing out a problem. An associate plays devil’s advocate. A partner is off in his or her imagination and is not reality-based. Conversations help anchor this person. Tonight: Swapping today’s war stories. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your imagination could be distorting reality. Knowing this, try to reject details, concepts and ideas. Your creativity soars in the presence of others. Ask others to play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Let a partner or friend express his or her strong feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Knowledge helps keep a project on track. You might have to revise your impressions more than once. You could be questioning the validity of proceeding as you have. Revamping your thinking allows more creativity. Tonight:

Speak to a family member. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Take an important idea and expand it with the help of those involved. Incorporate viable ideas. Don’t lock into your thought and your thought only. Tonight: Ever playful, you tumble into the weekend spirit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by a domestic or personal matter. You might not want to throw more money into an investment. Look at your options. If you’re uncomfortable with the situation, honor that feeling. Tonight: Home is where the heart is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Communication flows. You discover that what you were sure was right-on just might not be. Your strength is only enhanced by this ability to transform your thinking. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Hang out with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be aware of what is happening financially. If your sixth sense cuts in, by all means, honor what you feel. Curb spending until you’re surer of yourself. Deal with your anger directly; no placebo, please. Tonight: Curb overindulgence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You perk up by the end of the day. You might wonder exactly what is happening between you and a friend. This person becomes controlling and appears to be transforming right in front of you. Tonight: Know that you are top dog.

Snowy mountains rise beyond a juniper forest along the Ancient Juniper Trail in the Badlands east of Bend.

Outing Continued from E1 Him: “What about So-and-So Scenic Overlook?” Me: Blank stare. Him: “Have you been out to Whatchamacallit Wilderness?” Me: “Maybe we’ll just take a drive up Pilot Butte.” Jim loved the Badlands, that High Desert expanse between Alfalfa and U.S. Highway 20 east of Bend that’s now an official wilderness area. At 29,000 acres, the Oregon Badlands Wilderness is a dusty sea of juniper trees, rock outcroppings and sagebrush, crisscrossed by more than 50 miles of trails with modest, geologic names like Dry River, Black Lava, Tumulus and Flatiron. When Jim would wax (or write) poetic about the Badlands, I just kept my mouth shut, because I never quite got it. It all just looked like a lot of dirt and ugly plants to me. Five years later, I think the tide is turning; I think I’m falling for the High Desert’s charms. Last weekend, when it came time to choose an outing for this story, my mind didn’t even glance to the west, but instead looked east, to the Badlands. On a Bureau of Land Management map, I found my spot: the Ancient Juniper Trail. I noticed, on recent trips to Horse Ridge and Dry River Canyon, that I’ve begun to appreciate the Western juniper. (Another co-worker told me years ago this would happen.) What I once considered a bland, gnarled mess of a tree has begun to reveal its unassuming beauty. I’ve grown to appreciate not only the juniper’s stout, solemn shape and jagged branches, but also its distinctive

If you go What: Ancient Juniper Trail Cost: Free Difficulty: Easy Getting there: From 27th Street in Bend, drive 13.5 miles east on U.S. Highway 20. Turn left into the Flatiron Trailhead near milepost 16. Contact: www.blm.gov/or/ resources/recreation/badlands or 541-416-6700

bark, which ranges from reddish orange to brown to gray and looks like nature’s corduroy, with its countless ridges and furrows. The 1.9-mile Ancient Juniper Trail delivers on the promise in its name. From a trailhead along U.S. Highway 20, you can choose the Flatiron Trail to the right, or the Ancient Juniper Trail to the left. They meet up to the north, about halfway to Flatiron Rock, and I suspect the scenery is pretty much the same either way you go. (Note: You can take the Flatiron Trail back to the trailhead for a total hike of three miles.) I went left and found a relatively easy stroll through a sparse landscape. The Ancient Juniper Trail’s ground is uneven but not too rocky, and it climbs slowly up a small hill, twisting and turning like macaroni laid end to end. Last weekend, the path was about half wet soil and half heavily trampled snow, but never so muddy it was impassable. If you’re looking for variety in your sightseeing, this is not the place for you. It’s pretty much juniper and sagebrush, over and over again, and occasionally two or three junipers perched atop a rock outcropping. (Plus one very quick jackrabbit that surely star-

tled me more than I startled him.) After a while, it begins to feel almost repetitive, like you’re going round and round on some sort of Badlands carousel. Fortunately, Horse Ridge and the Ochoco Mountains rise on the horizon to provide perspective and keep the trail from feeling like a staircase in an M.C. Escher painting. The thing about the repetition, though, is that it highlights the differences among these ancient junipers, which can live hundreds or even thousands of years in the desert. (The oldest juniper in Oregon, estimated at 1,600 years old, is nearby at Horse Ridge.) As I walked, I began to delight in zigging and zagging across the trail, checking out each tree and mentally cataloging their different shapes and the shades of their bark. I found myself appreciating the different textures of those ridges and widths of those furrows. I found junipers that appeared relatively fresh and healthy, junipers that looked tired and weathered, junipers that had burned and junipers on their side, as if relaxing after several centuries of hard work. At one point, I realized I was having … fun. Outside. With juniper trees. I’ll probably never be a rugged rock climber or a rapids-shooting daredevil or whatever. But on Sunday, I came to the not-so-sudden realization that there’s more beauty in the Badlands than meets the eye. You just have to look for it. I think that makes me a little bit more of a Central Oregonian. And that’s good enough for me. Ben Salmon can be reached at 541-383-0377 or bsalmon@bendbulletin.com.

Nursemaid’s elbow is painful but easily fixed Inside • What is nursemaid’s elbow? Page F3

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

To answer a parent’s first two questions about the injury commonly known as nursemaid’s elbow: Yes, it is common in young chil- M E D I dren, and no, you don’t need to lose sleep over it. Clinics in Central Oregon say they each see several dozen cases a year. The injury can happen during routine activities: lifting kids, playing with them or grabbing their arm to keep them from

running somewhere dangerous. But in most cases it’s a relatively minor injury, no matter how badly your child screams at first, and can be fixed quickly. C I N E Nursemaid’s elbow is a dislocation of the elbow in which one of the bones in the forearm, the radius, becomes dislodged from its resting place at the elbow joint. It got its name because it commonly happened to young women who had to carry heavy buckets of milk and often

dislocated their elbows. Today, the injury most commonly occurs in children between the ages of 1 and 4, and more often in girls. A parent or sibling or caregiver does something that pulls on the arm. If it’s outstretched and pulled just the right way, it can dislocate. “Oftentimes it’s very, very innocent,” said Dr. Kim Wollmuth, a pediatrician at Central Oregon Pediatric Associates.

M Elbow Continued from F1 Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen it in kids who were being swung by their parents, or when a sibling yanked a toy away, or even when a kid was hanging from the monkey bars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ligament there is a bit looser,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows for those forearm bones to dislocate ever so slightly there.â&#x20AC;? Kids are at less risk after the age of about five, she said, once their ligaments strengthen and tighten to the bone. Though nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rupture the skin, it will be obvious to parents that something has happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will immediately have pain and cry and refuse to move that arm,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Michelle Mills, a pediatrician at Bend Memorial Clinic. Children may cradle their arm into their body, physicians said, and will often protest if someone tries to straighten it. Once you suspect a nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get to a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or urgent care center as soon as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer you wait, the more swelling develops and the more difficult the procedure is to fix it,â&#x20AC;? said Mills. That means if the injury hap-

Nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow is a dislocation of a bone in the elbow called the radius. The injury most commonly occurs in small children when they are pulled up too hard by the hand or wrist.

pens late at night or at a time when your regular doctor is not open, you should head for an urgent care clinic. Kids with nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow should be seen â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainly within a few hours,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Danette Elliott-Mason, a physician at St. Charles Immediate Care in Bend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are hurting.â&#x20AC;?

Elliott-Mason said, however, that kids rarely need to go to an emergency room. Typically, an urgent care center or pediatricianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office will be able to deal with the problem. Treatment for nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow is straightforward. The physician or other caregiver performs a simple procedure, bend-

ing the elbow to pop the bone back into place and a few minutes later, the child is better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly satisfying as a pediatrician because they walk in with a problem and 15 minutes later theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fixed,â&#x20AC;? said Wollmuth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen very often in medicine.â&#x20AC;? Mills said the treatment can hurt a bit as the elbow is popped back into place. But, shortly after, the kid is fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give them a popsicle and about five minutes later they are fully using their arm again.â&#x20AC;? Parents do need to be watchful for several days after the injury, Mills said, because during that time it is more likely to happen again. Studies have found that about one-third of children who have one nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow injury have a second one. But physicians said that in general parents should not change their behavior with their children for fear of nursemaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are plenty of kids getting swung around and having fun,â&#x20AC;? said Wollmuth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it too rough, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take that away from parents.â&#x20AC;?

THE CLAIM:

Antibiotics can help fight flu. THE REALITY: A n t i b i o t i c s , which typically refer to drugs used to fight bacterial infections, will not work against the flu, said Dr. Richard Fawcett, an infectious disease specialist and health officer at the Deschutes County Health Department. Viruses, such as influenza, are an entirely different type of organism from bacteria, and antibiotics do not have an effect on them. Patients sometimes get confused, he said, because doctors will prescribe antibiotics for complications of flu, which can include bacterial infections. Often,

a doctor will try to obtain a culture of the infection, Fawcett said, to figure out if it is bacterial or viral, and thus if an antibiotic will work on it. There are medications that will typically shorten the duration of flu, Fawcett said. Tamiflu is the best known and can help if taken near the beginning of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Betsy Q. Cliff, The Bulletin

How to care for your toothbrush By Alison Johnson

For patients, clinical trials offer hope HACKENSACK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Is there a drug that can melt plaque off the walls of clogged arteries? Prolong the life of women with triple negative breast cancer? How about a way to zap a tumor that is typically resistant to treatment? These and other possible medical breakthroughs are among more than 500 clinical trials under way in hospitals in northern New Jersey alone. The studies bring prestige and first-string specialists to hospitals, but more importantly, doctors say, they offer hope to patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an oncologist, if you have to walk into a room and tell a patient, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more we can do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or have the chance to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have another drug you can try,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; you certainly want to give them that option,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Andrew Pecora, vice president of cancer services at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With clinical trials, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re offering tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medicine today.â&#x20AC;? Northern New Jersey hospitals, rich in diverse populations and top-shelf medical care, are prime for such trials. Most of the current studies focus on cancer, but dozens also involve cardiac disease. A handful target such illnesses as epilepsy, sickle cell, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, lupus and sexual arousal disorder in women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An institution like ours, with socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic and genetic diversity gives us the ability to study the broadest aspect of a disease and its treatment,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jai Parekh, an ophthalmologist and head of research for the Research Institute of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of strides have been made because of clinical trials and it gives our patients the ability to get the best treatment out there.â&#x20AC;? One former Fair Lawn, N.J., resident is the recipient of such cutting-edge medical care. Linda Pollack had a heart attack in December 2009 and had a stent implanted in a fully blocked artery. She was also given an unnamed statin for a partially clogged artery through a trial at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J. The drug worked; her latest angiogram showed an all-clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the artery is opened all the way,â&#x20AC;? said Pollack, who has moved to Washingtonville, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you receive such great care when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a trial. The doctors are always there for you. I was able to get an angiogram twice to see how I was doing. My insurance company wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve an angiogram until I had my heart attack.â&#x20AC;? Pollack was so pleased with her experience, she signed up for a second trial.

FACT VS. FICTION

Brushing (and flossing) is the best way to protect your teeth and gums â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not if your toothbrush is in bad shape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toothbrush bristles that are worn or frayed from use cannot effectively remove plaque, which is critical to maintaining healthy teeth and gums,â&#x20AC;? says Sebastiana Springmann, a dentist in Williamsburg, Va. Some advice: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover up brushes between uses. Allow them to air-dry instead. Bacteria and other organisms will grow faster on bristles kept in a closed, damp environment. Rinse them thoroughly. After each use, hold brushes under running tap water until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cleaned off all remaining toothpaste and visible debris. Store them correctly. Place brushes in an upright position to best air them out. Also keep them at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid contamination with (yuck) airborne particles after a flush. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share brushes. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be swapping germs with the other user, which can make you sick. If you store more than one brush in the same container, keep their heads

completely separated. Replace them often. Get a new brush at least once every three or four months, and after each time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sick, according to the American Dental Association, or ADA. If bristles look worn or frayed, the brush needs to go. Children may need replacements more often than adults. Consider disinfecting them. Some dentists recommend soaking brushes in an antibacterial mouthwash such as Listerine for five minutes a day. You also can buy an ADA-approved sanitizer machine, which uses ultraviolet lamps or steam and dry heat to fry nearly all bacteria and viruses. Just note: Studies to date havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confirmed a health benefit, and not all dentists believe frequent disinfecting is necessary.

This medication affects how the liver makes cholesterol, but it targets a â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally different enzyme system than a statin,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Janet Strain, Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of cardiac clinical trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this drug is going to be so effective it will melt the plaque on the arteriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walls,â&#x20AC;? Strain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking that even if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect cholesterol that way, it may still reduce heart attacks or strokes.â&#x20AC;?

Benefitting others Most clinical trials donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show such direct results. By design, many studies just observe how the body handles a particular drug, or if a certain dosage can be tolerated. Even in studies where patients are taking a drug for a disease, their lives are usually prolonged for only a few months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trials donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really benefit the participants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they benefit those who follow,â&#x20AC;? said Arthur Caplan, a professor of bioethics at University of Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a slow and difficult process.â&#x20AC;? Trials, sometimes lasting for several years, are conducted after the federal Food and Drug Administration approves the studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clinical studies are necessary for medical research to continue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; every device and drug out there has come into use because of clinical trials,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Thomas Birch, medical director of the Institute for Clinical Research at Holy Name Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to improve the treatments we offer without a considerable number of people in clinical trials.â&#x20AC;? One drug being tested at both Valley and Englewood Hospital

Another trial raising hope is on TrueBeam radiation treatment, a Hackensack study on tumors normally resistant to radiation. It zaps the tumor with radiation at four to five times greater than a normal dose, which may produce â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant benefit,â&#x20AC;? Pecora said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think of it as normally trying to put out a fire with a small amount of water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the cancer cells repair themselves before the radiation can kill them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this treatment, it would be like putting water on it at a rate that will put out the flames. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breathtaking.â&#x20AC;?

almost $4.6 million and Englewood Hospital and Medical Center received $46,000 but spent $84,512. Holy Name and Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses and revenues couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be determined because they combine the amounts with other line items. None of the hospitals would disclose specifics on trial payments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might sound like you are getting paid a lot of money but conducting a trial requires a lot of staffing, equipment, and time,â&#x20AC;? Birch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you spend a good deal of time interviewing a patient who then doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the inclusion requirements or the family doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the patient to participate. And you only get paid for each patient, whether the trial lasts one day, a week, or months.â&#x20AC;?

N Guidelines Continued from F1

Some interesting parts • The guidelines say moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and fewer overall deaths among older adults, and it may help maintain cognitive function with age. This section is followed, of course, with warnings of myriad risks and hazards associated with heavier drinking, and it is discussed in the “foods to reduce” section. • Not surprisingly, the guidelines recommend that Americans limit pizza, bacon and many grain- or sugar-based desserts that are too heavy on saturated fat. • It also suggests curbing television and video games and using that time to be physically active instead.

What you need to know Lynne Oldham, also a registered dietitian with St. Charles Bend, said the guidelines are meant to encourage general healthy lifestyle changes, not to provide specific criteria. The 2010 guidelines prescribe three general recommendations: 1. Balance calories. Enjoy your food but eat less. This means monitoring calories and reading nutritional labels. Certain foods, such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits, have more nutrition per calorie. Sodas waste calories. Avoid oversized portions by eating from smaller plates or sharing meals. 2. Increase certain foods (especially plants). Make half the plate fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, cooked dry beans and peas. The other half of the plate should be divided between proteins and grains, ideally whole grain. Switch to low-fat or non-fat dairy products. 3. Reduce certain foods (such as pepperoni pizza). Read labels to make low-sodium choices, especially with soup, bread and frozen meals (see “The specifics on sodium”). Skip soda, energy drinks, sports drinks and choose water instead. Sugar-sweetened beverages provide 35.7 percent of the added sugar that Americans eat — more than is consumed through desserts — providing excess calories and few nutrients to the body.

What’s new Although many of the overarching recommendations did not change much since the 2005 revision, there are a few new things in the 2010 edition. They include: • An increase in fish consumption is urged, replacing some meat and poultry. • Specific eating behaviors are addressed, such as eating breakfast, appropriate snacking, limiting fast food. • Guidance for alcohol consumption by breast-feeding women says, because of demonstrated health benefits from breast-feeding, the occasional alcoholic drink does not warrant stopping breast-feeding. However, if a breast-feeding woman has one drink, it should be after the baby is 3 months of age and only if “she then waits at least four hours before breast-feeding. Alternatively, she may express

Although days are getting longer, winter blues might still linger for some. Certain foods help you manufacture brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine may improve your memory, sleep and mood, according to Sari Greaves, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Here are a few mood-enhancing foods to get you through these last weeks of winter, suggested by Greaves on the ADA’s blog. • Limit refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, crackers, bagels, soda, candy or fruit juice. They can create radical blood sugar spikes and drops, leaving you cranky and tired. • Add protein to meals. Dopamine and norepinephrine are released after you eat protein, making you more alert and focused for hours after eating. Greaves recommends skinless poultry, seafood, round or loin cuts of red meat, tofu, quinoa, eggs and low-fat dairy. • Boost omega-3 intakes such

The specifics on sodium

Thinkstock

The revised 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans defined a large group who should limit their daily sodium consumption to 1,500 milligrams a day, which is little more than half a teaspoon. That miniscule amount is the suggested daily intake for about half the American population: African-Americans, those 51 and older and anyone with hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease. The other half of Americans should consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily, about a teaspoon. Americans tend to eat way more than that, an average of 3,400 milligrams a day. The guidelines could be tough for Americans’ salt-happy tastes, especially for anyone whose diet includes any processed foods. But limiting salt will reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and kidney problems. Here are some tips to help achieve those goals from local registered dietitian Lori Brizee: • Dairy products: Milk has some natural sodium in it, about 125 milligrams per 8 fluid ounces. Avoid processed cheeses, which have about 400 milligrams of sodium per ounce. Use natural cheeses sparingly. They have about 175 milligrams per ounce. Here’s the good news: Swiss cheese has only 75 milligrams per ounce and cream cheese 86 milligrams per ounce (or 2 tablespoons), so both qualify as low sodium foods. • Be wary of “flavor enhanced meats” sold in the fresh, raw meat section. They are injected with a salt solution. Pre-frozen chicken breasts in a bag have lots of sodium and potassium phosphates added to them. • Make broth at home from chicken or turkey carcasses, or buy brands

breast milk before consuming the drink and feed the expressed milk to her infant later.” • Research on various eating patterns is included for the first time in this revision. It concludes that vegetarian diets, Mediterranean-style diets, and what’s known as the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), which is rich in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods as well as being low in sodium and saturated and total fat, have more positive outcomes than the typical American diet. The American diet tends to include too many calories, too much saturated fat,

that are truly “low sodium,” such as Pacific or Imagine, which have about 20 milligrams of sodium per cup. Read the labels when broths say “reduced sodium” because many have as much sodium per cup as the regular brands, between 500 milligrams and 575 milligrams of sodium per cup. • Soups and frozen dinners tend to be very high in sodium. Look for less than 500 milligrams sodium per serving of a prepared entree. • Add a little wine to any meat, soup or sauce while cooking. Wine brings out flavor without sauce. But don’t use cooking wine; it has salt added to it. • If you are not using any saltcontaining ingredients in a meal, it’s OK to sprinkle a little salt on top of food because doing that gives more

added sugars, refined grains and sodium; and not enough potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, vitamin D, unsaturated fatty acids from oils, nuts and seafood. • In a new section about making healthy choices, it says Americans need help improving nutrition literacy, cooking skills and lifestyle choices. There’s a generation of people that don’t

salt flavor than cooking it into food, Brizee said. Her trick: Kosher salt is flakier than standard salt, so in a salt shaker, it’s harder to shake out. And, because of the flaky nature of Kosher salt, a quantity of Kosher has more air in it than standard, granulated salt. So, 1 teaspoon of regular salt is 2,300 milligrams sodium, whereas 1 teaspoon of kosher salt has 1,150 milligrams sodium, she said. • It’s difficult to limit salt when eating out. Some chain restaurants offer nutritional information online, but generally, it’s unusual to find a meal with less than 1,000 milligrams of sodium. “I think it would be nearly impossible to eat out for a whole day and stick to the 1,500 milligrams guideline,” Brizee said.

Spinach vs. romaine: nutrition smack down By Wendy Donahue Chicago Tribune

Romaine and spinach often sit side by side at the salad bar, but one stands taller. “The darker the green, the more nutrient-dense it’s going to be,” said Heather Mangieri, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Spinach contains more vitamin C (an antioxidant), iron (helps prevent anemia), magnesium (can help protect against heart disease) and vitamin K (good for bones and blood). Spinach also packs calcium, but there’s a catch. “We don’t think of spinach being a great source of calcium because it’s high in oxalates, which bind with calcium and make it unavailable,” Mangieri said. Boiling spinach releases the oxalates and many nutrients into the cooking water. Romaine is on the milder end of the greens spectrum but still nutritious. “It’s definitely a step up from iceberg lettuce,” Mangieri said. If you’re bored even with spinach, advance to bitter aru-

Parents need to be sure kids get enough activity By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Kids need exercise, too. But how much, and what kind? National guidelines say children ages 6 through 17 need 60 minutes of exercise per day, including muscle- and bonestrengthening exercises a few times a week. That might seem like an overwhelming expectation for a busy family, but parents need to change their frame of reference. “Adults think of 60 minutes as running for an hour,” said Denny Dragan, a Bend physical therapist and father of a 6- and 3-yearold. “I don’t believe in having young kids do an hour straight of any type of endurance activity.” Repetitive, consistent activity increases the chance of injury, he said. The 60 minutes of exercise that kids need can be divided up throughout the day and should include a variety of activities, according to both Dragan and Cascade Middle School physical education teacher J.C. Lizza, who has a 6- and an 8-year-old. And yes, good old-fashioned games of tag are exercise. So is hide and seek. And swinging from the monkey bars at recess. Climbing trees or kicking a ball around in the backyard after school. Dancing in the living room. Skiing or bike riding with the family on weekends. But not all kids get enough exercise through free play. Sometimes adults have to schedule it into a child’s day. Merely offering recess doesn’t always “lead to kids running on the field playing tag,” Lizza said. “During one of my undergrad practicums I was horrified when, during recess, an entire length of a building was filled with kids sitting and playing Game Boys.”

Making it happen In addition to an increase in sedentary screen time, walking and biking to school has declined, according to a 2006 report from the American Heart Association. With childhood obesity and related health problems on the rise, it’s important that schools provide programs that promote good health, the report said. In Oregon, by the 2017-18 school year, every school district needs to provide 150 minutes

“During one of my undergrad practicums I was horrified when, during recess, an entire length of a building was filled with kids sitting and playing Game Boys.” — J.C. Lizza, Cascade Middle School physical education teacher per week of physical education in kindergarten through fifth grade, and 225 minutes for those in grades six through eight. At least half of the class time must be actual physical activity, according to the Oregon Department of Education. That still doesn’t add up to 60 minutes a day. So parents probably need to get involved, Dragan said. He understands first hand that it takes extra work to set good examples and provide opportunities for activity. Sometimes all the organization and preparation it takes to drag the whole family on a ski or bike trip can seem not worth it, but it is, he said, if you’re trying to teach a child a healthy lifestyle. “I encourage (my kids) to get outside and I try to be in the moment with the kids. They love to play. If you put them in front of the TV they’ll do that, too. You have to decide how you want the family to live,” Dragan said. Some parents barely find enough time to get their own workouts in. That’s where the big fitness centers can come in handy. Monica McClain-Smith, the fitness coordinator for Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, said the public facility offers an array of children’s fitness classes for 3- to 11-year-olds, in part to teach children healthy habits surrounding exercise and nutrition, and also to provide opportunities for the whole family to go to the gym together. She doesn’t want children left at home watching TV while a parent goes to the fitness center. Instead the child could be doing yoga, or some fun rhythmic dance class while mom swims laps.

Finding the right mix The 60-minute recommendation for exercise should mostly be fulfilled through aerobic activity, Lizza said. That can be met through free play as well as sports like soccer, basketball or swimming, which are more prevalent with older children. Daily requirements for bone-strengthening and muscle-strengthening often cross over with aerobic activities. Lizza said kids need to find different kinds of activities that they enjoy and that challenge them. “I do not like hearing kids playing in a year-round sport club like soccer. There are many articles against such practices. This can be a case of ‘too much of a good thing,’” Lizza said. Some families go overboard. “We see a lot of knee injuries, hips, ankle sprains with kids,” said Dragan, the physical therapist. “Those injuries come from, in this town, almost anything you think of. I’m always amazed at how many sports these kids do. Soccer this night, then gymnastics, skiing.” A new study through the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, shows running-related injuries in children between ages 6 and 18 are happening nearly 35 percent more frequently now than 14 years ago. Many of the injuries happened when children were running for recreation or a sport. Experts suggested that additional coaching and training could help children use proper running form and safety practices. Sometimes, Dragan said, normal growth spurts can play a role in injury, too. When kids are in a growth spurt their muscles can’t keep up with their bone structure, Dragan said. They get awkward and that can disrupt their mechanical form and body control, which can further aggravate injuries. It can last weeks, or months, or even sometimes just one day, he said. These are also known as growing pains. “I think you’ve got to trust them when they say they have pain,” he said. They’re a valid excuse to take it easy.

Smart phone app rewards exercise By Steven Overly The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Entrepreneurs Benjamin Young and Gregory Coleman are developing a new wrinkle on the coupon craze — a smart phone app that rewards exercise with discounts on items such as energy bars, all natural groceries and workout DVDs. The founders of Nexercise hope the deals provide a financial incentive to adopt a more active lifestyle while also chipping away at the notion that fitness has to be

expensive. “A lot of the mechanics are driven around the underlying psychology of why people do and don’t exercise,” said Young, the Silver Spring, Md., company’s chief executive. “The technology is really a facilitator but most of this is psychology.” Users select a physical activity, such as aerobics, running or badminton, then choose a workout time of 15 minutes or more. The program uses sensors already built into the iPhone and other

smartphones to detect motion and other metrics that verify the activity takes place. Users accrue points with each workout, and more points equate to better discounts. Nexercise also has a social component that allows users to compete directly with other smart phone owners or trumpet their workouts on social networks. The app is in testing now and won’t be available to the general public until the second quarter of 2011, pending Apple’s approval.

Target area: Inner thigh, side body, spine. How to do it: Start with toes pointing forward. Lift the right foot onto a counter, or the back of the couch. Turn the toes, knee and thigh to the right. Draw in the navel and bend the upper body to the right, reaching both hands toward the right toes. Then twist the upper back slightly so the left shoulder falls behind the left ear. Gaze toward the ceiling under the left arm. Press standing foot into the floor. Inhale

Fight for your health By Jeannine Stein Los Angeles Times

Kicking and punching are great for boosting one’s heart rate and toning muscles. But add some self-defense and street-fighting techniques and the adrenaline really stars to flow. Krav Maga is the Israeli Defense Forces’ hand-to-hand fighting and self-defense system, taught to ordinary Joes and Janes who want to be able to handle themselves if attacked. This challenging, full-body workout will also get anyone in shape. “With Krav Maga your focus is on defending yourself, so you’re working out without realizing you’re working out,” says Marcus Kowal, general manager and instructor at

Teens more active with a dog in the household

Krav Maga Worldwide Training Center in West L.A., which has franchises across the country. The good news is that there’s no boot camp to weed out the couch potatoes. Everyone is welcome to learn the technique, Kowal says. Since the objective is to “eliminate danger by any means necessary,” according to Kowal, the focus is on becoming an aggressor when attacked, not a victim. Students learn to punch, kick, elbow and knee their way out of being choked, grabbed or threatened with weapons. It’s a full-body workout with anaerobic cardio. “Everything we do is explosive, aggressive and high-impact but in a safe setting,” Kowal says.

Dog ownership appears to make teens more active, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Virginia. They surveyed 618 pairs of adolescents and their parents living in the Minneapolis area about the number of dogs in the home and how much time they spent physically active. About half of the teens also wore accelerometers — devices that measure activity — for one week. The teens in dog-owning families logged about 15 additional minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week after the researchers controlled for factors such as gender and socioeconomic status. Could it be that kids actually walk the family dog instead of the parents (after begging for a dog and promising their parents they would walk the dog)? Well, no. “Children and adolescents may not have the primary responsibility of walking the dog but may actively play with the family dog, thus contributing to their overall minutes engaging in physical activity,” the authors wrote. Other studies show that adults who have dogs are more physically active. Even if people don’t walk their dogs regularly, just having a dog makes one more active because of chores such as getting up to feed the dog, letting it outside or cleaning up after it, the researchers said. The study will appear in the March issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Hospitals try to solve readmission problem By Michelle Andrews Special to The Washington Post

“Welcome back” are two words you’d really rather not hear at a hospital, especially if you’ve just been discharged. Yet one in five Medicare patients found themselves back in the hospital within 30 days of leaving it in 2003 and 2004, according to a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine. Even more troubling is the possibility that three-quarters of those readmissions might have been prevented, as estimated in a 2007 report by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), an independent agency that advises Congress. What gives? All too often, experts, say, the problems that send patients back to the hospital might have been avoided if there had been a better handoff from the hospital to the people responsible for the next phase in a patient’s recovery, whether it’s the patient himself and his family, a home health agency, a nursing home or a hospice. Discharged patients may be confused about their new medication regimen, for example, or they may not understand diet restrictions. Maybe they don’t have transportation to a follow-up appointment; worse, they may not have an appointment scheduled at all. Hospital readmissions aren’t only bad for patients’ health, they’re expensive. MedPAC estimated that in 2005 readmissions cost the Medicare program $15 billion, $12 billion of which could have been avoided. A growing number of hospitals and health systems are working on the readmissions problem with support from nonprofit groups and foundations. Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta is one. A few years ago, it began participating in Project Boost, a discharge-transition program developed by the Society of Hospital Medicine. Through Boost, Piedmont proactively targets patients who are at high-risk of readmission. Staff members use a checklist to ensure that potential logistical and psychosocial problems are addressed before the patient leaves the hospital. Another priority: scheduling patients before discharge for their first follow-up visit to the doctor. Patients also receive a form to take home that explains in simple terms why they were in the hospital; what they need to do to continue their recovery, including medications, diet restrictions and warning signs of trouble; and whom to call if they experience problems. Within three days of discharge, a nurse calls to check on them. “It’s more work, it takes more time and there’s more confusion” until the new processes are in place, says Matthew Schreiber, chief medical officer for the 480bed hospital. But the effort has paid off. Thirty-day readmission rates for patients under age 70 have declined from 13 percent to just under 4 percent since the program began; rates for those 70 and older have dropped from 16 percent to 11 percent.

The true costs of drug discounts Drugmakers lure patients with savings on brand names By Markian Hawryluk

Company influence But critics of the copay cards say they encourage patients to start on the brand name drug, much as free drug samples do, and that often patients never switch to a generic. When the discount runs out, even patients with drug coverage find themselves paying more for the brand name drug. “It kind of rooks you in to that new drug,” said Dr. Will Delgado, a dermatologist in Bend. “That’s the point of sampling, because then the patient is on the medications and they may think the generic isn’t as effective. I think it really does start that cycle.” Drug samples have come under fire of late for that very reason, and Delgado said he’s noticed a drop-off in drug samples left by drug company representatives and an increase in the prevalence of copay cards. Doctors hand out the cards to patients when they write the prescription, and patients receive the discounts from the pharmacy

Going Going digital digital

Hidden costs

More than half of U.S. officebased physicians used an electronic medical record in 2010, the first time adoption has passed the 50 percent mark. Financial incentives that are available in 2011 for physicians with EMR systems are expected to drive implementation even further. In Oregon, 74 percent of physicians now use EMR systems.

While copay cards and discount coupons can lower a patient’s copayment, the insurance company winds up paying much more than if a patient chose a generic alternative. The following examples were calculated assuming a $10 copay for a generic prescription and a $25 copay for a brand name drug. Lipitor (20 mg) Brand name drug

For years, insurance companies have encouraged consumers to choose generic drugs over more expensive brand name drugs by offering them lower out-of-pocket costs. According to the pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts, consumers with drug coverage can save an average of $15 per prescription each time they choose a generic over a brand name drug. Now pharmaceutical manufacturers have come up with a new way to level the playing field. Many now offer discount coupons or copayment cards that lower the patient’s copayment to match generic levels. A copay card offered by Pfizer for its blockbuster Lipitor, for example, cuts a patient’s copay to $4, up to a maximum savings of $50, bringing it in line with what Walmart or Target pharmacies charge for generic cholesterol-lowering drugs. The cards are good for up to $600 in savings in any calendar year. But while patients may feel they’re getting a deal, clinicians and pharmacists warn they might end up paying more in the long run. “It’s important to understand that both drug samples and prescription discount cards are considered part of marketing for pharmaceutical companies, so it’s like advertising,” said Kyle Mills, a pharmacist with Bend Memorial Clinic. “They don’t do it unless it’s a benefit.” Some manufacturers use the discounts to make their brand name drugs more affordable than other competing brand name drugs and offer a good savings option when no generic alternatives are available. But Mills said most of the copay cards or coupons are offered for brand name drugs that have generic competition or soon will. That was the case with a class of breast cancer drugs known as aromatase inhibitors. When one of the three approved drugs in that class, Arimidex, went generic in August, Novartis offered a copay card that cut the out-ofpocket cost of its aromatase inhibitor, Femera, to $10. “It’s a common disease and it’s a common therapy, and it used to be the drug was fairly expensive. Now one of them has gone generic and that’s changed the landscape,” said Dr. Robert Boone, an oncologist with Cancer Center of the Cascades. “Unfortunately, some people can’t tolerate the generic drug, so it’s nice to have options.”

“Every now and then I’ll have a patient who’s disappointed we don’t have free samples, but by and large, patients get this issue much better than doctors. Doctors think that they’re not influenced by these drug reps. I think it’s naive to think that we’re not influenced; otherwise the drug companies wouldn’t do it.” — Dr. David Evans, doctor, Madras Medical Clinic when they fill their prescriptions. Patients can also apply for copay cards or find coupons on manufacturer websites. Doctors at the Madras Medical Clinic decided five years ago to ban drug reps from coming by and dropping off drug samples or other marketing, such as the copay cards. In a study published in the Annals of Family Medicine last year, the clinic documented a small shift in prescribing patterns as a result of the change. “Every now and then I’ll have a patient who’s disappointed we don’t have free samples, but by and large, patients get this issue much better than doctors,” said Dr. David Evans, one of the doctors at the Madras clinic. “Doctors think that they’re not influenced by these drug reps. I think it’s naive to think that we’re not influenced; otherwise the drug companies wouldn’t do it.”

Higher costs Daniel Hartung, a pharmacoeconomics professor at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, said copay cards also drive up health care costs for everyone. “Someone is paying for that brand name,” he said. “Even if the consumer isn’t, the insurance company is.” According to Consumer Reports Health Best Buy Drugs, the average monthly cost for 20 mg per day of Lipitor is about $161, while a generic cholesterol drug, Lovastatin, averages only $15 per month. Even with Pfizer’s copay card picking up part of the copayment, the insurance company is looking at more than $100 in additional costs. Those higher drug costs are then passed on to consumers in the form of higher premiums. “You add up the costs, you look at how it’s going to trend over time, and then it translates into premium,” said Helen Sherman, chief pharmacy officer for insurer Regence Blue Cross Blue

Shield. “And so certainly, it does affect the member in the long run.” Sherman said Regence has studied the impact of coupons on their drug utilization costs but was not able to detect a significant impact. It’s a hard issue for insurers to get a handle on because they’re not told how the copay was paid at the pharmacy. “It is a concern and it is controversial,” Sherman said. “We do have a lot of programs in place that shift members to generics when they get started. If you get them started on generics, then they don’t follow up with a brand. For health plans that don’t have programs such as this in place, certainly it’s a huge risk of a brand being chosen over a generic, and overall costs being higher than what’s necessary.” Regence currently has about 80 percent of prescriptions filled by its members with generic drugs. The Food and Drug Administration is also studying the impact of copay cards and discount coupons and is expected to report its findings in 2012. Massachusetts is the only state to have banned copay cards universally. Discount cards are not available for Medicare beneficiaries because of federal anti-kickback laws that don’t allow companies to provide any inducement to use a drug.

the drugmaker has reached an agreement with the generic manufacturer to delay the generic version until November 2011. Offering the copay discount card may mean more patients start taking Lipitor now, and will continue even when the generic arrives. “I see it as Pfizer’s last gasp, trying to wring their last dollars out of that drug,” Hartung said. “There has been a trend to move to generics, and I think they’re trying to keep as many people on that drug as possible, because it’s a real cash cow for them.”

Losing exclusivity Generally, pharmaceutical companies have 20 years of patent protection to market their product free from generic competition and can take certain steps to extend that exclusivity. The Generic Pharmaceutical Association calculated that between 2009 and 2013 more than $66 billion worth of branded drugs would lose their patent exclusivity and would face generic competition.
