City claims nepotism in water, sewer feud

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Tonight’s public hearing in La Pine has to do with a topic most people would run from: annexation of the water and sewer districts.

But it has officials of this 5-year-old city butting heads with longtime commission-

ers of the two districts. The dispute involves allegations of conflicts of interest and nepotism: A commissioner had her dog buried at district expense.

Her two daughters and another commissioner’s son have worked for the district. The wife of another district official earned real estate commissions

on five property sales to an engineer doing business with the districts. The same engineer won two contracts without any bidding done.

The commissioners involved don’t deny the allegations and say they’ve done nothing wrong.

A soapy start to spring cleaning

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office has appointed J. Pat Horton as its newest deputy district attorney.

The elected district attorney for Lane County between 1973 and 1985, Horton was originally hired by District Attorney Patrick Flaherty in early January as a management analyst, a newly created position that Flaherty said was intended to assist him in studying and reorganizing the workflow of the office. He was an outspoken proponent of marijuana decriminalization during his time as the head of the Lane County office, and prosecuted the high-profile Diane Downs murder case before going into private practice as a defense, civil rights and personal injury attorney.

When Horton was first hired by the District Attorney’s Office, HIS law license had been inactive for nearly 11 years, barring him from working as a deputy DA, according to the Oregon State Bar. His license has since been reinstated.

The reassignment includes a pay increase for Horton. Originally hired at $36 per hour without benefits, Horton will now be earning full benefits and a monthly salary just shy of $7,400.

Since the end of his first legal career, Horton has been an active real estate investor in Central Oregon, one of many who, in his words, “got hurt pretty badly” when the economy turned sour.

A 40-acre property owned by Horton in northwest Redmond was recently surrendered to Home Federal Bank, which had sued him for $2.6 million.

The transfer of the property to the bank brings the suit to an end, Horton said, and the bank will cover the $73,289 in back property taxes he’d racked up over the last four years. Horton owes another $18,939 in back taxes on a residence in Pronghorn, which he said will be paid.

SALEM — Discussions over a voterapproved law that uses lottery money for parks and natural areas have local conservation groups concerned.

In November, voters approved Measure 76 by a margin of 69 percent to 31 percent. In Deschutes County, the margin was nearly as resounding, with 68.4 percent in favor. The law essentially extended an earlier measure that allocated 15 percent of lottery funds to

set a sunset date at which the lottery funding law would expire, as well as let the Legislature divert funds to nonwildlife causes in times of economic emergency.

But the new proposed law has sparked controversy and hardball politics.

Now that lawmakers have written a bill to implement that agreement, The Nature Conservancy has balked at supporting it, saying it did not realize the implications of the agreement.

While parks remain popular in Oregon, the margin of victory last November was due to an agreement struck last summer among interest groups and lawmakers to avoid an opposition campaign.

PHILADELPHIA — Twelve years ago, Lizbeth Ramos and her common-law husband, Juan, left their hometown near Puebla, Mexico, and set out on foot for the Arizona border, to slip into new lives as illegal immigrants.

He found work in a produce market near Philadelphia, she in a boutique.

Now 30, she lies on an examination table in Pennsylvania Hospital, at an obstetrics clinic for immigrant women, no status questions asked. As a doctor slides an ultrasound wand

over her bulging belly, her eyes are transfixed by the monitor. She is carrying twins.

The moment they enter the world, they will be what their parents are not: U.S. citizens.

Such is their birthright, granted by the 14th Amendment to an estimated 340,000 babies born annually to undocumented immigrants.

But in the marathon fight over immigration control, that 143-year-old constitutional guarantee has become the latest target — and the delivery room the new front. The pejorative “anchor babies” already is in the lexicon.

WIRELESS SPEAKERS

Joy of home broadcasting dio systems built since the 1970s.

Look behind them, though, and you notice something novel: There’s no place to attach speaker wires even if you wanted to.

Instead, each speaker only needs to plug into a wall outlet. Plug each one in, then turn on the transmitter, and the speakers pipe fantastic, rich sound from your home theater. At $500 for two speakers and a transmitter, the Zona is pricey, but it’s the perfect solution for sending sound — without wires — to the back of a large room.

A few years ago I bought a high-end home theater system that promised to “surround” me in sound when watching Hollywood blockbusters — or, more likely, reruns of “Law & Order.”

But when I unpacked the system, I saw that for the best audio, I’d have to surround myself in speaker wires, too.

The system included five small speakers (two for the front of the room, two for the back and one for the center) as well as a couchshaking subwoofer. Each speaker and the subwoofer needed to be connected by a cable to the central unit; this meant I’d have to find an inconspicuous way to snake long tangle-prone wires from my television set to every corner of my living room. It took me about a day of carefully rearranging rugs and couches to hide the wires, but even that wasn’t totally successful.

Occasionally the clutch of wires would peek out and threaten to trip someone or prompt my Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner to stop short. When I moved to a new home, I didn’t bother to reconnect the system. Surround sound was sensational, but it wasn’t worth the setup.

Others think the same. “Seventy percent of people who buy home-theater systems never bother to connect the rear speakers,” said Ed de la Fuente, the marketing manager for Aperion Audio. “Running the wires is just too much of a hassle.”

Until recently, there hasn’t been a better way. Electronics companies have been making wireless speaker systems for years, but many were based on older radio technology that was prone to interference from microwaves, cordless phones and other gadgets. The only way to get amazing audio was ... through a wire.

That’s changing. I’ve been testing several wireless audio systems lately that promise to give me perfect (or at least pretty good) sound with much less electronic interference than in the old days. Some of them are meant for the living room, others for the bedroom, and one fantastic system will pipe music to every room in your house.

My adventures in wireless audio have left my home littered with speakers, but because they all required little setup, and because many can be tucked out of sight, my home doesn’t look the least bit messy (well, not because of speaker wires, anyway).

The most basic wireless audio system I tried was the iA100, a $200 unit by iHome that is ideal for playing tunes at your bedside, office, dorm or in any small room. The iA100 is a snappylooking clock radio that can connect to your iPhone, iPad or another smart phone through the Bluetooth wireless standard. You can listen to music anytime your phone or music player is within a few dozen feet of the iA100. The device isn’t going to win over any audio enthusiasts (its sound was a bit tinny), but considering its size, the audio quality will be perfectly acceptable to most people.

That’s because over a Bluetooth connection, I noticed, the music would occasionally skip.

There’s something else amiss with the Zikmu: The only way to connect it to my home theater system was with a wire. If you’re looking for completely wireless speakers for watching movies, these beautiful obelisks won’t work for you.

The Zona wireless speaker system, which sells for $500, plugs into wall outlets.

Best value

I especially liked the system’s companion iPhone app that lets you set the clock-radio alarm through your phone, which is much handier than fiddling with buttons on a traditional alarm clock. There was just one problem with the iA100: It occasionally lost the wireless connection to my iPhone, and the only way to get it back was to go into my phone’s settings page to reconnect it. This was a minor annoyance.

At the other end of the price spectrum you’ll find the Zikmu, a $1,600 pair of wireless speakers designed by Philippe Starck and manufactured by the electronics company Parrot. The Zikmu is stunning. Each speaker is a threefoot-tall minimalist plastic slab that stands atop a circular base; my wife said it resembled the obelisk that drives the apes crazy at the start of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Like the iA100, the Zikmu can play music stored on your phone through a Bluetooth connection, and it can also play tunes on your computer by hooking up to your home Wi-Fi network.

For the most part, the Zikmu sounds as good as it looks; music piped through the speakers was deep and full, and the Zikmu is capable of going much louder than your neighbors will appreciate. Still, I wouldn’t recommend them to audiophiles.

But two other speaker systems did supply wireless sound for the home theater. These speakers use a tiny transmitter device that plugs into your TV, DVD player or other audio source; the transmitter beams sound to two speakers, which you can place anywhere in the room.

The first system, called Railtones, is made by Tech Lighting, whose main business is high-end home lighting fixtures. This explains the shape of the Railtones speakers: They look like wall lamps. And, indeed, Railtones is meant for people who already have designer lighting systems in their homes. To set it up, you attach each Railtones speaker to a track-lighting rail mounted on your wall or ceiling; the speaker draws its electric power from the track, while pulling the audio from the transmitter you’ve attached to your home theater.

A set of two Railtones speakers and a transmitter sells for about $500. I found that they produced respectable sound, but the Railtones’ true advantage was the way they hide themselves in your room. If you want your speakers out of view, there’s no better place to put them than up high, among the light bulbs.

By comparison, the Zona system, made by Aperion, looks downright pedestrian — black and rectangular, like the hi-fi speakers on most of the home au-

But why should only two speakers of a home theater system be without wires? Movies these days are programmed to produce separate audio channels for each of five or even seven speakers. Is it possible to get a home-theater sound system with more than two wireless speakers? The short answer: not now, but soon. In June, Aperion will release the Intimus 4T SUMMIT wireless audio system, which will transmit every sound of the latest blockbuster to five different speakers and a subwoofer.

De la Fuente, of Aperion, called the new product a harbinger. “I don’t know how long it’s going to be,” he said, “but eventually, we’ll see most speakers ship without wires.” For now, though, the completely wireless home theater may be out of reach for mainstream buyers: the Intimus 4T Summit will sell for $2,499.

Excluding the home theater, though, wireless heaven is already here. A company called Sonos has developed a series of interlocking, Internet-connected audio components designed to deliver music across your whole house. A number of different configurations are available, but the most straightforward device is the S5, a $399 speaker and amplifier in one. It’s easy to set up: Install the software on your computer, plug a transmitter device into your wireless router, and then set the S5 anywhere in your house. The device connects to your home wireless network, and can gain access to music on your computer as well as from a number of online services, including Pandora, Rhapsody and Napster.

But the real magic begins when you install several S5s throughout your home. I put one in my bedroom, one in the living room and one in the den. You can play the same song across the house, or something different in every room; you can control the volume separately or collectively as well. You can do all this with the company’s dedicated touchscreen remote ($349), but you can also control the beast just by using your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android phone.

The best part is that many people in your house can have a say in the music. So when my wife sat in the living room and used her iPhone to play something contemporary — Kanye West, I think — one afternoon, I vetoed it from the bedroom, and, using my phone, played an ’80s music channel.

Does this sound like the start of trouble? Quite the opposite. Music everywhere, without wires. Trust me, it sounds beautiful.

The iPad 2, unveiled Wednesday, offers several sleek improvements over its predecessor. But its most attractive feature is perhaps the same one its predecessor had: the price tag.

And what makes that feature even more compelling is that so far, Apple’s competitors in tablets cannot beat or even match it.

The iPad 2, like the original, starts at $499. Apple says that since it introduced the original last April, it has sold 15 million of the devices, generating $9.5 billion in revenue.

The Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab were introduced last fall, both to generally good reviews but at higher prices. Dozens of hardware manufacturers are scrambling to bring their own variations to market this year: Hewlett-Packard with the TouchPad, HTC with the Flyer, LG with the G-Slate and BlackBerry with the PlayBook.

But prices, or even release dates, have not been announced, and industry experts say it is not yet clear whether the devices can be competitive with Apple on price.

“There have been nearly a hundred competitive tablets that have been introduced since the iPad,” said Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein. “But it seems that no one has eclipsed or even matched Apple on pricing.”

Analysts and industry experts point to a number of reasons. Primarily, they say, Apple’s deep pockets — a staggering $60 billion in cash reserves — have allowed it to form partnerships with other companies to buy large supplies of components. By doing this, the company probably secures a lower price from suppliers, ensuring a lower manufacturing cost.

At the same time, they say, Apple has sidestepped high licensing fees for other items it needs, like the A4 and A5 processors in the iPads. Those parts, designed in-house at Apple by a company that Apple bought, are among the costlier components needed to make a tablet computer.

Sacconaghi said Apple also could subsidize some of the cost of building iPads with the money it makes through its App Store, which generates more than a billion dollars a year. This means that Apple can take a lower profit margin on the iPad, 25 percent, than it does on, for example, the iPhone, which can yield as much as 50 percent profit.

Yet another advantage is Apple’s wide net of its own global retail shops and online stores; for customers, this means they can avoid a markup from a third party like Best Buy. Although other companies have some of these factors in their favor, no one but Apple has all of them.

IPad’s rivals can’t beat its price tag

Maybe it’s because my doctor raised his eyebrows during the weigh-in portion of my last physical. Maybe it’s because I’m planning a beach vacation. Maybe it’s the profusion of perfect abs that’s co-opted pop culture over the past few years — from music (see LL Cool J) to sports (see David Beckham) to reality television (see “Jersey Shore”) to movies (see any of the “Twilight” flicks).

But for whatever reason, I was tuned in a few weeks ago when I walked into Dick’s Sporting Goods, and for the first time I noticed the massively muscular mannequins — I mean, freakishly muscular mannequins — hawking the kinds of clothes that I, a not-freakishly muscular person, had gone there to purchase for my treadmill sessions.

Massive arms. Tree-trunk legs.

Tiny waists. Sculpted calves.

Glutes big enough to support a steam-table buffet. Shoulders as round and grand as bowling balls. These were not representations of any men that I cross paths with in my daily life, but of the titanic heroes of ancient Greek myths. (Or WWE wrestlers — choose your own image.)

Boy, would I love to look like that.

Only, I don’t. And won’t. That window closed long ago — actually let’s be honest, it was never really open. I’m a 40-plus beanpole with an age-appropriate paunch, long past the age when I could aspire to a physique like that.

I was shopping for workout clothes because I had been told somewhere that I could stave off my exercise ennui with some shiny new gym duds, the kind that “wick away sweat.” (To where is it “wicked”? I’ve often

wondered. Connecticut?) The abs I want were only a few threads of Lycra away.

Disclosure: I hate shopping. For one thing, I hate spending money.

For another, I’m not a natural browser. I hate the hunt. And I resent all those posters of exactingly tousled, hairless and perfectly toned supermodels in tight jeans and tank tops staring down at you from department-store walls, daring you to spend money to try to look as good as they do. As if.

I figured that shopping for gym clothes at a sports shop, I would be safe from all those taunting Abercrombie & Fitch-sters.

Wrong. Those mannequins.

Those colossal, improbable mannequins. They chased me straight out of the store.

I tried Niketown on the 16th Street Mall, only to discover that its floor space was occupied by similarly intimidating goliaths,

posed in the kind of square-shouldered stance I associate with facing down a charging mountain lion (not that I’ve ever had to do that). Sports Authority Elite in Cherry Creek mall? Beautiful store, behemoth mannequins.

I get it. I understand the idea behind these plaster muscles.

They are meant to be inspiring.

Designed to tap into that part of your brain that — when it’s not being overruled by petty nuisances like reality — wants to believe that you, too, can look like that, if only you buy those shorts.

It’s a basic rule of 21st-century marketing: You entice people by showing them what they think they want to be, rather than what they actually are. When the clothes don’t change their lives, they’ll salve their disappointment with a return trip to the store. If only, if only, they can find just the right gym shorts.

Of course, we’re all in on the shtick. None of us actually believes that purchasing this season’s workout gear will transform us into champion bodybuilders any more than we believe that a pill purchased off a late-night infomercial will melt away the pounds as we sleep.

But, logic aside, consumers are attracted to improbable promises. Even if the shorts don’t turn us into Olympians, we’ll still somehow be part of the club. The lure of transformation, however unreasonable, punches our idbuttons, and we buy.

I described the muscled mannequins to a female friend: “Can you believe those things? No one looks like that! They’re unreal!

Outrageous!”

She showed no sympathy.

“Welcome to my world,” she said, holding up the Victoria’s Secret catalog.

T S Washington’s role in Libya grows complex Obama says trials

By David E. Sanger and Thom Shanker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Nearly three weeks after Libya erupted in what may now turn into a protracted civil war, the politics of military intervention to speed the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi grow more complicated by the day — for both the White House and Republicans.

President Barack Obama, appearing Monday morning with Australia’s prime minister, tried to raise the pressure on Gadhafi

further by talking about “a range of potential options, including potential military options” against the embattled Libyan leader.

Despite Obama’s statement, interviews with military officials and other administration officials describe a number of risks, some tactical and others political, to U.S. intervention in Libya.

Of most concern to the president himself, one high-level aide said, is the perception that the United States would once again be meddling in the Middle East, where it has overturned many a

leader, including Saddam Hussein. Some critics of the United States in the region — as well as some leaders — have already claimed a Western conspiracy is stoking the revolutions that have overtaken the Middle East.

“He keeps reminding us that the best revolutions are completely organic,” the senior official said, quoting the president.

At the same time, there are a range of persistent voices — in Congress and even inside the administration — arguing that Obama is moving too slowly.

They contend that there is too much concern about perceptions, and that the White House is too squeamish because of Iraq.

Furthermore, they say a military caught up in two difficult wars has exaggerated the risks of imposing a no-fly zone over Libya, the tactic discussed most often.

The U.S. military is also privately skeptical of humanitarian gestures that put the lives of troops at risk for the cause of the moment, while being of only tenuous national interest.

Forces loyal to Gadhafi press assault in the east and west

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

RAS LANUF, Libya — Government warplanes taunted rebels with flyovers and repeatedly bombed their positions near this coastal city’s oil refinery Monday, seeking to drive the opposition forces back farther to the east, as Libya continued what appeared to be a slide into civil war.

The air attacks, which injured a family of five, added a note of urgency to a growing debate in Western capitals about imposing a no-fly zone over Libya.

There were conflicting reports about the casualties after the airstrikes. Witnesses had said a man died when the car was hit, but doctors at a local hospital said the man, along with four relatives, survived.

The steady attacks from the air helped further turn the momentum of the conflict in eastern Libya, where opposition fighters had made strong gains recently in their drive to the west, toward Surt, a stronghold of Moammar Gadhafi, and on to Tripoli. But on Sunday, troops loyal to Gadhafi stormed the town of Bin Jawwad, just to the west of Ras Lanuf, backed by fierce air power, and sent the fighters holding it into retreat.

Information scarce In addition, the elite Khamis Brigade continued Monday to batter the opposition-held city of Zawiyah, west of Tripoli, with tanks, artillery and snipers, residents there said. With cell phone and Internet communications cut off, virtually the only source

CHICAGO — More than two weeks after Wisconsin lawmakers split over a bill that would vastly curtail collective bargaining for public workers, even negotiations over the negotiations have become matters of division, fury and dueling public critiques.

Scott Fitzgerald, the Republican leader in Wisconsin’s Senate, described the progress of talks with 14 Senate Democrats who left the state last month to block a vote on the bill as “negotiating with Jell-O.” Chris Larson, one of the Senate Democrats, accused Fitzgerald and Gov. Scott Walker of misleading the public, trying to shift blame to the Democrats, and of “throwing people who were negotiating in earnest under the bus.”

While those on both sides of Wisconsin’s partisan split over collective-bargaining rights say they have in recent days engaged in private discussions over the matter, little progress toward compromise has emerged.

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday reversed his 2-year-old order halting new military charges against detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, permitting military trials to resume with revamped procedures but implicitly admitting the failure of his pledge to close the prison camp.

Obama said in a statement that he remained committed to closing Guantánamo someday and to charging some terrorism suspects in civilian criminal courts. But Congress has blocked the transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo to the United States for trial, frustrating the administration’s plan to hold civilian trials for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the chief plotter of the Sept. 11 attacks, and others accused of terrorism.

Officials declined to say whether Mohammed would be scheduled for a military commission or would await a trial in federal court if Congress lifts its prohibition Separately, for detainees who will not get trials, Obama set out new rules in an executive order Monday requiring a review of their status within a year and every three years after that to determine whether

they remain a threat, should be scheduled for a military trial or released.

The order also requires compliance with the Geneva Conventions and the international treaty that bans torture and inhumane treatment.

Obama said in a statement that from the beginning of his administration, “the United States has worked to bring terrorists to justice consistent with our commitment to protect the American people and uphold our values.”

He said the new procedures, which had been forecast in news reports, “broaden our ability to bring terrorists to justice, provide oversight for our actions, and ensure the humane treatment of detainees.”

Administration officials declined to discuss individual cases, but one senior official said he expected new charges to be brought against detainees within days or weeks. A second official said the administration was committed to bringing “9/11 plotters to justice” but did not explain how that might occur.

Among detainees believed most likely to face a military commission soon is Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi accused of planning the bombing of the American destroyer Cole in Yemen in 2000. He was waterboarded, which could open the way to assertions by the defense that he was tortured.

Talks to end Gary Locke named U.S. impasse in ambassador to China Wisconsin flounder

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to nominate Gary Locke, the commerce secretary and one of the highest-ranking Chinese-Americans in the administration, as the next U.S. ambassador to China, administration officials said Monday. Locke, 61, would succeed Jon M. Huntsman Jr., who is stepping down next month to explore a bid for the Republican nomination for president.

Locke, a former governor of Washington, was both the first Chinese-American commerce

secretary and the first ChineseAmerican governor, serving for two terms, from 1996 to 2005.

He was born in Seattle, the son of immigrants from Hong Kong, and traces his Chinese ancestry to southern Guangdong province.

Before going to Washington, Locke built a reputation as an expert on trade relations with China. While governor, he made several trade trips to China on behalf of Washington, which is often referred to as the nation’s most trade-dependent state, as the manufacturing base of Boeing, among other exporters.

Fears of wheat crisis in China recede as epic drought eases

By Keith Bradsher New York Times News Service

HONG KONG — Rain and snow during the past two weeks, together with a huge irrigation effort, appear to have saved much of the wheat crop in northern China from drought, Chinese and international agricultural and meteorological experts said Monday.

This winter was the driest in perhaps 200 years in parts of China, the world’s largest wheat producer. That prompted alarm

a month ago that China might need to sharply increase its usually modest wheat imports, at a time when world food prices were already surging. Supplies were tight after bad weather in other wheat-producing countries, including Russia and Australia.

But days of snow and rain across the heart of China’s wheat belt in northern Henan and western Shandong Provinces have brought moisture to fields so dry that large cracks appeared in the dirt.

Russia, which holds veto power, has already rejected any form of military intervention.

In Tripoli, the Libyan foreign minister, Moussa Koussa, held an extraordinary news conference in which he accused the U.S. and Britain of “yearning for the colonial era” and seeking to divide the country. He maintained that a force of about 300 al-Qaida fighters formerly held by the U.S. at Guantánamo Bay was backing rebel forces.

New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Monday that the United States was “well positioned” to begin withdrawing some U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July, but he said that a substantial force would remain and that the United States was starting talks with the Afghans about keeping a security presence in the country beyond 2014.

At a joint news conference in the Afghan capital with President Hamid Karzai, Gates said that no decisions had been made about the number of troops to go home.

His remarks were tempered with enough caveats, however, to suggest that the July drawdown promised by President Barack Obama could be minor.

“As I have said time and again, we are not leaving Afghanistan this summer,” Gates said.

Currently about 100,000 American troops are in the country.

Gates also used the news conference to offer an extended apology to Karzai for the mistaken killings last week of nine Afghan boys. Karzai accepted the apology.

On Sunday Karzai had rejected an apology for the killings from Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.

manager for the La Pine Special Sewer District.

Andrew Newton earned $20.74 an hour when he stopped working there in 2006, Zigler wrote.

Allen said that employing so many relatives in a small office can cause problems.

“In a small group, with that few of employees, it just causes problems when you have that many relatives either serving on the board, or working for the company,” Allen said. “What I found there is just this kind of culture that has grown over time, that hasn’t kept up with all of the normal practices that government entities have to follow. ... No one set out to do it wrong or violate the law. It just happened.”

Nelson-Dodson said her daughters performed much-needed duties when Zigler, the operations manager, needed time off.

Back in November, Allen questioned sewer and water district commissioners about no-bid contracts they approved with HGE Inc., for engineering on the Cagle subdivision expansion. The contracts could be worth a total of $700,000 to $1.4 million, according to information from HGE President Richard Nored.

Last year, Nored purchased five properties in La Pine, using as his real estate agent the wife of the sewer district chairman, Dennis Carter. Carter voted along with other officials in November in favor of the contract with HGE. Nored purchased a total of $459,500 in property, according to deeds recorded in Deschutes County.

On each deal, Nored worked with real estate agent Nancy Carter, Dennis Carter and Nored confirmed.

Carter and Nored said the real estate deals have no connection to the water and sewer districts’ busi-

ness, and it was not necessary for Carter to declare any conflict of interest before voting on the two contracts with Nored in November.

“I don’t discuss my wife’s work in meetings,” Carter said recently. He did not know how much his wife earned from her transactions with Nored.

“No, it wasn’t a conflict of interest at all,” Carter said.

Allen said it was bad business practice for the districts to approve no-bid contracts in November with HGE. “The question is, is it good business for a public entity to not competitively bid the largest contracts that the district has, to know where you are out there?” Allen said. “And I think the answer to that is clearly no.”

Nored and his firm have done engineering work for the sewer and water districts since the 1990s.

“I built the water district,” Nored said. “So I know as much about the water and sewer system in La Pine as anybody.”

Yet despite HGE’s lengthy relationship with the La Pine sewer and water districts, the firm did not have a contract formally recognizing it as the districts’ engineer. HGE needed an engineering services contract with each district, “so then the government would approve us as doing the (expansion) work, and it wouldn’t have to have a separate proposal form,” Nored said.

The two no-bid contracts that officials at the water and sewer districts approved in November did that, Nored said.

It’s common for governments to hire HGE without going through a bidding process or signing contracts that specify how much a project will cost, Nored said.

HGE does submit bids on projects, “but we’re in communities where you have a relationship.”

HGE has a similar arrangement with the city of Sisters, said City Manager Eileen Stein.

“We’ve had a contract with HGE to be the city’s engineer of record since the 1970s,” Stein said. HGE essentially serves as the city’s engineer, since the city does not have an engineer. The HGE contract predates Stein’s tenure, so she did not know whether the city went out to bid for it in the past.

Nelson-Dodson is still undecided about whether to cooperate with the city’s plan to annex the districts.

“I don’t know what I want,” Nelson-Dodson said.

Continued from A1 Many of Horton’s real estate transactions were made as part of a group that included Tyler Fitzsimons, the head of the defunct Desert Sun Development.

Fitzsimons is facing federal charges of bank fraud and money laundering for his activities with Desert Sun, which were not connected with his dealings with Horton.

Along with Jayne Heyne, Horton and Fitzsimons in 2003 formed the Deschutes Land & Cattle Co. LLC, which once owned 120 acres on the northwest edge of Redmond, and lobbied successfully to have their properties brought in to the city’s urban growth boundary in 2006.

In 2007, Horton sold a 40-acre parcel he had acquired as part of Deschutes Land & Cattle Co. to the Redmond School District for $7.79 million. Monday, the school district completed the final step of that transaction, reaching an agreement to have Horton refund $480,000 of the $500,000 that had been placed in escrow at the time of purchase to fund the extension of water and sewer lines to the school district property.

School district Chief Operations Officer Doug Snyder said the original deal allowed Horton to keep the interest earned on the money in escrow for up to five years, by which time it was anticipated he would use the $500,000 to construct the utility lines needed to build a middle school and elementary school on the property.

With the five-year deadline about 20 months away and no pressing need for new schools in northwest Redmond, the district opted to take back the funds for other purposes, allowing Horton to keep the $20,000 he would have earned in interest over the next 20 months, Snyder said.

Horton said he’s looking forward to trying cases again for the first time in several years.

“I welcome getting back to this job in the DA’s Office,” he said. “I’m not doing any real estate development now, because there isn’t any to do.

“Rather than sitting around all day wondering when the real estate market is going to turn around, I think it’s fortuitous Mr. Flaherty offered me this opportunity to do something I really enjoyed when I was younger, being a prosecutor.”

Horton is the sixth new prosecutor to be named since Flaherty took over the office from Mike Dugan, whom he defeated in the district attorney’s election last May.

tional advocacy group. But “differentiating citizens on the basis of their parents’ immigration status would inevitably result in discriminatory treatment.”

Supporters of birthright citizenship — including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Migration Policy Institute and the Constitutional Accountability Center — have hit back hard, issuing white papers on the 14th Amendment’s intent, organizing pro-immigrant rallies and running radio ads.

According to a 2010 Pew Hispanic Center analysis, undocumented immigrants comprise slightly more than 4 percent of adults in the U.S. But because of their youth and high birthrates, they produce an estimated 8 percent of the approximately 4.3 million babies born annually.

What is the real anchoring power of “anchor babies?” Advocates contend it is overblown.

U.S.-born children cannot “protect their parents from deportation,” the Immigration Policy Center’s analysis stated. “Every year the U.S. deports thousands of parents of U.S. citizens.”

Those children can sponsor their parents for permanent residency, but not before age 21.

In most cases, if the petition is granted, the parents would still have to leave the U.S. for at least 10 years — the penalty for having been here illegally in the first place.

The center’s report concluded: “Undocumented immigrants do not come to the U.S. to give birth as part of a 31-year plan.”

But birthright citizenship does have its benefits.

In households with typically low incomes, the infants are immediately eligible for Medicaid and other government benefits — even though their parents are not.

In arguing for his legislative agenda, Metcalfe stresses the economic impact.

The estimated 140,000 illegal immigrants in Pennsylvania, he said, drain state coffers to the tune of $1.4 billion a year — much of it to cover uncompensated emergency-room services for people “who shouldn’t be on our soil in the first place.”

‘Not my fight,’ says obstetrician

‘I just want healthy babies’

Women

In 2006, Jack Ludmir, chief of obstetrics at Pennsylvania Hospital, founded a pre-natal clinic for immigrant women, Latina Community Health Services.

He sees about 50 women a week, who pay on a sliding scale that averages $5, but nothing at all if they can’t afford it. He writes their names in an oldschool notebook. Not all are Latina; he has had patients from Egypt and Pakistan.

Ludmir doesn’t ask their immigration status. But based on their lack of Social Security numbers, he estimates that at least 14 percent of the women who deliver there are undocumented.

“I didn’t bring these people here,” he said. “They are here, in my backyard, and they are coming to my hospital.”

But, he said, he does not provide hundreds of thousands of dollars of subsidized care purely from the goodness of his heart.

It is in Pennsylvania Hospital’s self-interest to provide preventative care against gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and other complications, he said, than to incur astronomical unreimbursed costs when a woman in a life-or-death crisis needs an emergency delivery.

Although illegal immigrants are not entitled to publicly funded health benefits, hospitals cannot turn away any woman in labor.

“I am not a politician,” Ludmir said. “I am not here to argue that the borders should be tighter.

That is not my fight.

“But the law is the law, and unless Metcalfe and others change it,” he said, these children “are U.S. citizens.”

As the cornerstone of American civil rights, the 14th Amendment affirms that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States,” regardless of their parents’ citizenship.

Ratified in 1868, it was designed to rectify the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1857 Dred Scott decision, which held that no one of African descent, including slaves and free persons, could ever become U.S. citizens.

Immigrant advocates say that the amendment’s framers wanted to make sure that race, ethnicity and parentage could never again be used by the government to decide who among the those born in America are worthy of citizenship.

Several U.S. Supreme Court cases have essentially upheld that interpretation, but without directly addressing the question of whether children of illegal immigrants are covered by the amendment.

Metcalfe and his supporters contend the phrase, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” is open to reinterpretation. They say it doesn’t apply to illegal immigrants because they owe their allegiance to a foreign power, and not America.

Lofty arguments are not on the mind of Lizbeth Ramos as she awaits the expected arrival of her twins in June, but frets about premature delivery.

Asked if it matters whether her children have U.S. citizenship, she falls silent for a moment, then shrugs and smiles.

“I really don’t care. I just want healthy babies.”

Continued from A1 “It could go either way,” said Coleman, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. “In a country like Egypt, where you have powerful Islamist groups and a very influential mainstream that appeals to Islam, women have will have to navigate very carefully.

The same is true in Tunisia.”

Kamel and other women from the region took part last week in meetings that marked the one-year anniversary of U.N. Women, the United Nations agency to promote women’s rights. They asked U.N. officials to help them solidify gains and seize opportunities to end some of the world’s most repressive laws and practices.

The 2009 U.N. Arab Human Development Report said women “find themselves in a subservient position within the family and receive little protection from the legal system against violations inflicted by male family members.”

It cited sexual and psychological abuse, genital mutilation, forced child marriage and prostitution, and trafficking.

FERTILIZERS

“Help us break the cycle of fear,” Nora Rafeh, a graduate student in political science in Egypt, said after coming to New York from Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, the head of U.N. Women, vowed to use her annual $500 million budget to help Arab women become more involved politically and economically.

Bachelet said she wants Arab leaders to learn that every nation loses economically by failing to enhance women’s rights.

“It is a great opportunity,” Bachelet said of the protests.

“This is a very important moment in which the momentum won’t be lost.”

No woman was named to the committee to draft a new Egyptian constitution, Coleman noted, and she cautioned that democracy is likely to bring Islamist groups into Tunisia’s political mix. Laws affecting women in Egypt and Tunisia are some of the most progressive in the region, so there is potential for backsliding.

Continued from A1 “Once a child is born here, the parents make the argument that they should be allowed to stay as that child’s guardian. They are using that child as an anchor (to) play on our heartstrings,” said Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Butler County Republican who has built a national reputation as a crusader against what he calls “illegal alien invaders.”

Immigrant advocates dismiss his contention as myth, and point to a recent study that found that undocumented immigrants generally “come for work and to join family members.” The nonprofit Immigration Policy Center concluded “they do no come specifically to give birth” and game the immigration system.

Such assertions have not tempered the efforts of immigrationcontrol proponents to effectively do away with “birthright citizenship” for the offspring of illegal immigrants.

On the federal level, two Republican senators, David Vitter of Louisiana and Rand Paul of Kentucky, want to accomplish it by amending the Constitution — allowing automatic citizenship only if a child has at least one parent who already is a citizen, a legal permanent resident or an active-duty soldier.

On the state level, Metcalfe, joined by lawmakers from 40 others states, is promoting a package of model legislation under the rubric “National Security Begins At Home.” Among those suggested bills: In lieu of automatic citizenship, states would issue distinctly marked birth certificates for the newborns of illegal immigrants, to distinguish them from U.S. citizens.

Pointing out that immigration policy is a federal prerogative, immigrant advocates say that such proposals are beyond the scope of state lawmakers’ authority, not to mention unconstitutional.

Metcalfe’s “model (birth certificate) statute claims not to confer any particular benefit or penalty on the basis of the different markings,” said Alison Parker, U.S. program director for Human Rights Watch, an interna-

Continued from A1 They are fighting annexation into the city’s government to keep water and sewer rates from going up, and to protect employees. They also cite a federal law that prevents a forcible takeover while a loan is outstanding. They currently have two U.S. Department of Agriculture loans totaling $2.9 million.

City officials say putting the water and sewer districts under city control would be cost-effective and make it easier for businesses to move to La Pine.

The city councilors and city manager have talked publicly about alleged mismanagement and nepotism at the sewer and water districts.

Mayor Ken Mulenex said at a February City Council meeting that those issues came to light after councilors instructed City Manager Rick Allen to research the districts’ operations, to learn more about them before annexing them.

“It’s become evident in all this due diligence that sewer and water are pretty sloppy operations,” Mulenex said. “And we have no doubt as a council that the city can run a structured, well-running public works department that would include sewer and water.”

One of the issues Mulenex and other city officials have raised is La Pine Water District Commissioner BarbeAnn Nelson-Dodson’s personal use of district equipment.

When Nelson-Dodson’s 15-year-old Labrador, Jumpy, died on Christmas 2009, she called a couple of district employees to come bury the dog because the ground was frozen. They buried Jumpy the day after Christmas, but did not bill Nelson-Dodson for the $35 the district charges to rent equipment until recently.

“I don’t remember all of it because I was pretty upset about it,” Nelson-Dodson said last week.

Nelson-Dodson also has two daughters who have worked for the districts. Rachel Dodson held a $10an-hour job as a temporary office assistant for the districts from January through September 2010, Donna Zigler, the operations manager for the districts, wrote in an e-mail.

Ashley Williams, who is also Nelson-Dodson’s daughter, has worked as an administrative assistant for the districts since January 2009 and earns $14.86 an hour, according to Zigler.

“It was just a fluke that I said, ‘Let’s send Ashley over there, and she can work for sewer, so she doesn’t work for me,” Nelson-Dodson said.

Williams is paid with sewer district funds, and does work for both districts, according to Zigler’s e-mail. Previously, Nelson-Dodson had done a lot of filing and other work for the districts without pay, Nelson-Dodson said.

— Chester Finn Jr., president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a nonprofit research group focused on improving K-12 education executives from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are lamenting the damage caused by education reductions.

“No economy can succeed without a high-quality workforce, particularly in an age of globalization and technical change,” Bernanke said in a speech Wednesday.

“Cost-effective K-12 and postsecondary schooling are crucial.”

In New York, Bloomberg is pushing the Legislature to pass a law eliminating the “last-in, first-out” policy, saying as many as 4,666, or 6 percent, of the city’s teachers may be fired. In New Jersey, Christie proposed eliminating seniority rules for teachers at a town hall meeting Sept.

28. And in California, a Senate bill was introduced Feb. 15 that would replace seniority with a system based on several factors including student performance.

Superintendents argue seniority rules force them to retain incompetent teachers instead of young talent.

Changing the system would be a “pretty substantial boost” to student performance, said Chester Finn Jr., who was assistant secretary of education under President Ronald Reagan from 1985 to 1988.

He is president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a nonprofit research group focused on improving K-12 education.

“Just as some schools are dropout factories, there are teachers that are ignorance factories,” Finn said in a telephone interview.

“You’re going to have to let some people go, so why not get rid of the people who aren’t getting the job done?”

While seniority isn’t the “endall and be-all,” mayors and superintendents don’t want any system at all, said Randi Weingarten, president of the Washingtonbased American Federation of Teachers, which has 1.5 million members.

“They just want individual principals to make decisions based on who their favorites are,” Weingarten said in a telephone interview March 4. “Instead of trying to figure out who to work with and how to deal with a terrible budget, they’re trying to attack teachers and attack people who made an investment and commitment to this profession before it was cool.”

The recession that began in 2008 and the resulting budget crises devastated teacher employment. About 172,000 publiceducation jobs, including those of teachers and clerical workers, have been eliminated since September 2008, according to John See, an American Federation of Teachers spokesman. In the past 12 months, 99,800 have disappeared, he said, citing federal labor statistics.

Sheen fired from CBS’ ‘Two and a Half Men’

By Joe Flint Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — CBS is down to one and a half men.

Charlie Sheen, star of the network’s hit show “Two and a Half Men,” was thrown off the show Monday by Warner Bros., the studio that produces the situation comedy.

The move to fire Sheen follows several weeks of highly public and vituperative battling by the actor against CBS, Warner Bros. and “Two and a Half Men” cocreator Chuck Lorre.

In a letter to Sheen’s lawyer outlining its reasons for his dis-

Lottery Continued from A1 Specifically, the group says the fix-it measure contemplated by lawmakers, called House Joint Resolution 29, doesn’t keep enough money flowing to groups for habitat restoration. Among other things, HJR 29 would let the state keep about $8.5 million to cover the costs of implementing the new law.

The position has sparked tough talk in the Willamette Valley. If The Nature Conservancy doesn’t get on board with the agreement, the Oregon Education Association is prepared to pursue a new ballot measure that could divert more lottery funding away from natural areas to schools.

“We are concerned that it appears that they are reneging on the promise that they made to voters, to the Legislature, and to those of us who originally had some concerns with the measure,” said Becca Uherbelau, spokeswoman for the OEA. The possibility of Measure 76 exploding politically has groups such as the Deschutes River Conservancy and Upper Deschutes Watershed Council worried.

Since 1999, the Deschutes Conservancy has collected more than $10 million in lottery-funded grants from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board for use in Central Oregon, according to the state. That figure is second only to The Nature Conservancy, which collected more than $15 million for projects all over the state.

“At this stage, we don’t and won’t get involved in all those backroom negotiations and deal making,” said Tod Heisler, executive director of the Deschutes River Conservancy. Asked about

missal, Warner Bros. charged that the actor’s “erratic behavior” undermined production and said his tabloid lifestyle — which has included brushes with the law, accusations of violence toward women including two of his former wives, and hospital trips — has put him in breach of his contract.

Sheen’s “self-destructive conduct resulted in his hospitalization, his inability to work at all for a period and the rapid erosion of the cooperative and creative process necessary to produce the show,” lawyers representing the studio said in its letter to Sheen’s

lawyer, Martin Singer. The letter goes on to say that Sheen’s admitted drug use and “furnishing of cocaine” to others puts him in violation of his contract.

“There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude ... that have interfered with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required” under his contract, noted the letter.

Neither Sheen’s manager nor lawyer responded to requests for comment.

the talk that a follow-up measure could take all the parks and wildlife funding, he said. “Of course it concerns me. My hope is that calmer minds will prevail and that the right negotiation will occur that frankly protects the will of the voters on Measure 76.”

Heisler said the funds have gone into projects that make a difference for Central Oregonians, including restoration of instream flows to Whychuss Creek and the Deschutes River by piping canals to conserve water.

“It’s been incredibly important environmentally and for your irrigators, and municipalities and local jobs,” he said.

The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council has worked with Deschutes River Conservancy on a lot of grant projects.

The council’s executive director, Ryan Houston, said that if the lottery money disappears, about 60 percent of the project funding the council has received would, too — including money used to help with city parks. But he said his group doesn’t know enough to take a position.

“Quite honestly, it’s something we here on this side of the mountains don’t fully understand, all the politics that are going on,” he said.

One group, the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, has publicly renounced The Nature Conservancy’s position, saying that as far as OLCV is concerned, the bill being pushed by lawmakers meets the terms agreed upon by OLCV, The Nature Conservancy and lawmakers last summer.

Jon Isaacs, OLCV executive director, said he’s disappointed both in The Nature Conservancy’s renouncing of the agreement and in the OEA’s willingness to use the threat of a ballot measure to enforce that same agreement.

“I’ve been in probably four meetings where it’s been put on the table,” he said. “At this point, if they don’t (follow through on their threat), their credibility is on the line in terms of putting it out there as the next steps they’ll take.”

He called the disagreement a destructive one. “In my view, this is what the antigovernment forces out there want: They want those of us who believe in government ... to fight among ourselves over limited resources. ... It’s potentially really destructive for the conservation community.”

Stephen Anderson, an Oregon spokesman for The Nature Conservancy, declined to comment on whether a recent statement issued to the Willamette Week newspaper meant that his group was backing away from its earlier position opposing HJR 29.

“We’ve always indicated that we would have some flexibility, and that’s why we’re talking to the legislative leadership now to work that out.”

Rep. Ben Cannon, D-Portland, is one of the sponsors of HJR 29, and is part of small group of lawmakers that continues to negotiate with The Nature Conservancy. He said he hopes that the group returns to staying within “the framework of the agreement,” from last summer, because “I think they have at some points begun to stray outside of it.”

Lawmakers will meet to discuss the issue later this week.

HJR 29 is expected to lead to a measure on the November ballot that tweaks Measure 76, though its details have not yet been finalized.

the retreat of the ice,” said Kahru, who published the work in the journal Global Change Biology.

“A 50-day shift is a big shift,” said plankton researcher Michael Behrenfeld of Oregon State University, who was not involved in the study. “As the planet warms, the threat is that these changes seen closer to land may spread across the entire Arctic.”

Ecologists worry that the early blooms could unravel the region’s ecosystem and “lead to crashes of the food web,” said William Sydeman, who studies ocean ecology as president of the nonprofit Farallon Institute in Petaluma, Calif.

When phytoplankton explode in population during the blooms, tiny animals called zooplankton — which include krill and other small crustaceans — likewise expand in number as they harvest the phytoplankton. Fish, shellfish and whales feed on the zooplankton, seabirds snatch the fish and shellfish, and polar bears and seals subsist on those species.

The timing of this sequential harvest is programmed into the reproductive cycles of many animals, Sydeman said. “It’s all about when food is available.”

So the disrupted phytoplankton blooms could “have cascading effects up the food web all the way to marine mammals.”

But the Arctic food web is poorly studied, and so any result-

NEW YORK — Public-school teachers are facing the biggest challenge to their job security in more than half a century as politicians target seniority rules that make the last hired the first fired when jobs are cut.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, are among officials pushing for changes in laws in coming months to let them fire underperforming teachers. As budget cuts threaten the jobs of thousands of school employees, officials are demanding the right to keep the most talented, even if they’re the least experienced.

The proposed changes may undercut the power of teachers’ unions. They intensify the debate on how to judge instructor’s effectiveness as U.S. students lag behind international peers. As officials cut education budgets, they should focus on what is best for children, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.

“Layoffs based only on seniority don’t help kids,” Duncan said in a conference call with reporters March 3. “We have to minimize the negative impact on students.”

In 14 states, including New York, California and New Jersey, districts can consider only seniority when dismissing teachers, and they are home to 40 percent of public-school instructors, according to a report published last month by The New Teacher Project, a New York organization founded in 1997

by Michelle Rhee, Washington’s former schools chancellor.

Even as states cut billions from their budgets, federal officials and

“Just as some schools are dropout factories, there are teachers that are ignorance factories. You’re going to have to let some people go, so why not get rid of the people who aren’t getting the job done?”

Climate researchers have long warned that the Arctic is particularly vulnerable to global warming. The dramatic shrinking of sea ice in areas circling the North Pole highlights those concerns.

A new report finds that the disappearing ice has apparently triggered another dramatic event — one that could disrupt the entire ecosystem of fish, shellfish, birds and marine mammals that thrive in the harsh northern climate.

Each summer, an explosion of tiny ocean-dwelling plants and algae, called phytoplankton, anchors the Arctic food web. But these vital annual blooms of phytoplankton are now peaking up to 50 days earlier than they did 14 years ago, satellite data show.

“The ice is retreating earlier in the Arctic, and the phytoplankton blooms are also starting earlier,” said study leader Mati Kahru, an oceanographer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego.

Drawing on observations from three American and European climate satellites, Kahru and his team studied worldwide phytoplankton blooms from 1997 through 2009. The satellites can spot the blooms by their color, as billions of the tiny organisms turn huge swaths of the ocean green for a week or two.

The blooms peaked earlier and earlier in 11 percent of the areas where Kahru’s team was able to collect good data. Kahru said the impacted zones cover roughly 1 million square kilometers, including portions of the Foxe Basin and the Baffin and Kara seas.

In the late 1990s, phytoplankton blooms in these areas hit their peak in September, only after a summer’s worth of relative warmth had melted the edges of the polar ice cap.

But by 2009 the blooms’ peaks had shifted to early July.

“The trend is obvious and significant, and in my mind there is no doubt it is related to

ing decline in fish, seabirds and mammals will be difficult to spot.

As the Arctic Ocean north becomes less and less icy, commercial fisherman have begun eyeing these vast, untapped waters as an adjunct to the famously rich fishing grounds of the subarctic Bering Sea, west of Alaska.

But in 2009, the U.S. body overseeing fishing in the region, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, banned commercial fishing in the Arctic Ocean, citing a lack of knowledge about how many — or even what kind — of fish live there.

“There are no catches authorized because we don’t know enough about the fish populations there to set a quota,” said Julie Speegle, a spokeswoman for the Alaska office of the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Last week, that service reported results from the first fish survey in 30 years of the Beaufort Sea, an arm of the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska. The survey found sizeable populations of several commercially valuable species, including pollock, Pacific cod and snow crab.

How these populations will respond to the earlier plankton blooms is a big unknown, Sydeman said. But research has shown that northern Atlantic cod populations crash when plankton blooms in that region shift in time.

Expansion has always been a goal, said Falconer, who owns the restaurant along with his wife, Tammy. The economy has started to improve, and leasing rates in Bend remain low.

WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission is about 400 employees short of what it needs to manage its current workload, according to a consultant’s four-month internal review mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The preliminary findings

by Boston Consulting Group reinforce arguments by SEC officials that the agency is underfunded and understaffed as it takes on oversight of derivatives, credit-rating firms and municipal bonds, according to a draft copy of the report obtained by Bloomberg News.

“Without sufficient human resources, the agency will be unable to complete the requirements of Dodd-Frank while maintaining its current activities,” the draft said.

The study said staffing levels had declined since 2005 and that SEC employees interviewed consistently complained that their departments were understaffed.

The next frontier for digital music is not a tablet or a smart phone, but two items that have been part of everyday life for decades: the car and the television set.

For years, digital music has been confined mostly to traditional computers and phones.

But that limitation is slowly disappearing as the market shifts toward cloud services, which stream content from remote servers, allowing anything with an Internet connection — like smart TVs or Blu-ray players — to become portals for vast libraries of entertainment.

One music streaming service, MOG,

is counting on this change to draw new subscribers and help it stand out in a crowded field. Today, the company will announce a string of deals that could introduce it to millions of potential new customers. LG, Samsung and Vizio will incorporate MOG into their Internet-ready televisions and other devices, and the service will become available on Sonos, a wireless system for managing music throughout the house.

And in what the company calls the first integration of an on-demand music service into a car, MOG will also become part of BMW’s Mini line.

She remembers telling her mother, “If you’re not going to do anything with it, I’ll take it over.”

The mother and daughter started a miniature TechXchange operation out of their Bend garage.

WASHINGTON — A broad agreement could be struck within two months to overhaul how millions of foreclosures are handled by the nation’s biggest banks and to expand the use of home loan modifications, according to Tom Miller, the attorney general of Iowa.

All 50 state attorneys general, along with federal regulators, have been stepping up pressure on the mortgage servicers over their foreclosure lapses in recent days and presented them with an outline of a settlement late last week. But Miller’s comments at a press conference here Monday marked the first time officials have said when an agreement might come.

“I’m hoping we can wrap it up in a couple of months,” he said.

“That’s a hope, but we’re going to move as fast as we can.”

There have been reports that a broad settlement with the banks was imminent, but Miller played down that prospect, citing thorny issues like the question of just which homeowners should benefit from the proceeds of any settlement.

Fears about oil in Mideast and Libya pay off for Russia

By Andrew E. Kramer New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — Whatever the eventual outcome of the Muslim world’s social upheaval, there is a clear economic winner so far: Vladimir Putin.

Russia, which pumps more oil than Saudi Arabia, is reaping a windfall from the steep rise in global energy prices resulting from instability in oil regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Riding the high oil prices, the Russian ruble has risen faster against the dollar this year than any other currency, which is helpful because it will curb consumer inflation during an election year.

Russian stocks are buoyant, too: The Micex index closed last week at 1,781, up nearly 6 percent since the beginning of the year. (Monday was a holiday in Russia.)

But the Russians could not step in to offset any potential big drop in global production, because Russia does not have any oil wells standing idle that would allow it to increase production. Right now Russia is pumping oil at its top capacity.

A drop in core manufacturing kept the University of Oregon Economic Index relatively flat for January, according to a report released Monday.

The manufacturing decline offset other positive signs, according to the latest University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators, which reached 90.6 in January. Employment indicators — the number of firsttime claims for jobless benefits and payroll for temporary workers — continued to show steady positive signs, according to the report.

The index suggests ongoing improvement in the state’s economic activity, although the recent sharp increase in commodity prices could cause problems if the trend continues.

people are not going to travel that far on a regular basis.”

The restaurant opened in 1983, when San Francisco restaurateurs Jack and Dee Mangin moved to Bend and bought the venue, once home to an A&W, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Over the years, the Pilot Butte Drive-In has received writeups in Reader’s Digest, various guide books and Internet bulletin boards catering to motorcycle riders and fishing enthusiasts.

In nearly every survey, Pilot Butte Drive-In ranks at or near the top for hamburgers, trading the No. 1 spot with its older cousin, Dandy’s Drive-In, which opened in 1968 on Northeast Third Street, according to newspaper archives.

Continued from B1 Pilot Butte Drive-In, on Northeast Greenwood Avenue and Northeast Ninth Street, is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he said.

A west-side location will not likely be able to capture the same drive-in ambiance of the restaurant on Greenwood, with its carhop stations and message-board sign, complete with neon lettering and analog clock.

The west-side location being negotiated is a newer, more modern building, he said. It won’t have drive-up service.

Reaction to news of a second Pilot Butte Drive-In across town has been positive, Falconer said.

It might prompt some customers to buy a burger more often.

“There’s no real quick route from east to west in Bend,” Falconer said, “and the west-side

TechXchange A:

No idea when. Not right now. Hoping within the next couple of years.

Continued from B1 In May 2009, Hooks opened a 100-square-foot store near the corner of East Third Street and Greenwood Avenue in Bend. The following year, with more and more sales coming in, she found a bigger spot across the street, a converted house, and she still runs the business there.

Used and refurbished cell phones tied to various service providers hang on the wall, as do accessories.

Hooks answered several of The Bulletin’s questions about the business.

Q: A:

Do you envision doing this for the rest of your life?

I love owning my own business. I don’t necessarily know if I would be in TechXchange for the remainder of my career. What I do love is marketing. And so I’d love to do like marketing/consulting-firm stuff.

Q: A: Q: A:

Have you seen any other cities having this kind of store?

A lot of places just do, like, repairs. There are repair places in larger places. I believe there are places that do sell some used cell phones. A lot of times the buildings are not really in nice areas, and they’re kind of pawnshoppy, I guess. This is what I’ve seen. So our goal is just to kind of create, like, another Verizon, except we sell used cell phones.

Q: A:

What goes into running this business? What knowledge do you tap on a daily basis?

I do everything, so the knowledge is pretty much multitasking, multitasking, multitasking, and learning how to balance your time.

Q: A:

What providers’ phones do you carry?

We just deal with the major carriers — Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, US Cellular.

Those are the large ones in our area.

Q: A:

How have you raised the money to expand?

It was, like, grass-roots. It’s really just been growing from itself. I mean, we only had a few phones when we were in the garage, so you would buy your own couple of cell phones, and then you’d sell those, and you’d use that money to buy more. And it’s eventually just grown into this.

Q: A:

Are you planning to open other TechXchanges?

Yeah, definitely in the future. We’re going to work on opening our online store to sell everywhere online, and then we hope to open physical locations in, like, Eugene, Portland.

Q:

Do you do anything on the side?

I do not. This is my full-time gig.

MOG Continued from B1 (On-demand streaming, unlike radio, lets you pick the songs you listen to.) More such deals are on the way, said David Hyman, MOG’s founder.

“When you are thinking about buying into a cloud-based music service,” Hyman said, “I imagine you asking yourself, ‘Can I use this on my phone? Can I use it in my car? Will it work in my new TV?’ The value of these services goes up the more places consumers can access you.”

MOG, based in Berkeley, Calif., was founded in 2005 as a social networking site. It changed in late 2009 into a subscription streaming service, offering 10 million songs at rates of $5 a month for music on PCs alone, or $10 for additional access through mobile devices. On new TVs and home theater systems, MOG will be a preinstalled feature, and in the Mini it can be activated by plugging in a smart phone. (MOG users paying $5 will get access through their TVs, but the $10 subscription is needed for Sonos and the Mini.)

Untapped living rooms Unlike MP3s, which a customer buys once and then pos-

Foreclosure Continued from B1 The attorneys general and federal government agencies are pressing for a financial settlement that could total over $20 billion. When asked about these estimates, Miller and three other attorneys general declined to comment Monday.

Growing criticism While the attorneys general and the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau support such a fund for homeowner relief, there has been growing criticism of the government’s existing program to modify mortgages, known as the Home Affordable Modification Program.

Last week, Republicans in the House pushed to kill the program, which has helped far fewer homeowners than promised.

A fund with at least $20 billion would represent a sharp expansion of modification efforts for the more than 4 million Americans facing the loss of their homes.

Many more Americans have mortgage loans that exceed the

sesses, music accessed through the cloud needs constant contact with the service that provides it, which means the service must be available everywhere its customers spend their time. And if you’re looking for ubiquity, the first places to go are the living room and the car — both of which, analysts say, represent huge untapped markets for digital music.

“I don’t think anybody in the music industry quite grasps how much of an important opportunity lies in the living room,” said Mark Mulligan, an analyst at Forrester Research. “And the window for that opportunity is closing ever more as every year goes by.”

In many homes, the Internetready television, preloaded with streaming services like Netflix and Pandora, is fast becoming a multipurpose entertainment hub. Sony has recently introduced its Qriocity service, which offers streaming music and movie subscriptions through Sony’s connected devices like televisions and PlayStations.

“Home theaters and Blu-ray get a lot of attention when it comes to playing movies or TV shows, but music is a critical feature for those devices too,” said Matthew Durgin, the head of smart TV for LG Electronics in the United States. “In a lot of cases, we put the highest-qual-

ity speakers in the living room.”

value of their homes because of falling housing prices, and critics warn that if an aid program is too generous, it could encourage borrowers to walk away from their homes.

Major servicers, including Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, all declined to comment last week. However, in recent financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, several big banks warned that the continuing regulatory investigations could have a significant effect on their results.

As expensive as a settlement could be for the big banks, industry lobbyists in Washington privately say that they are eager to put the issue behind them, especially given the public relations fallout from a protracted fight with the government.

And though the banks have said that the number of actual victims of foreclosure abuses is small, it is likely that any settlement will force them to acknowledge broader problems with their procedures.

“The servicers themselves acknowledge there have been very serious problems in foreclosure servicing,” said John

Suthers, the attorney general of Colorado. “They know there are problems.”

Crowded field For subscription music services, the competition is intense and the rewards so far have been small. In addition to MOG, the field includes Rhapsody, Rdio and the remade Napster. Spotify, a European service, is expected to enter the U.S. market this year.

But relatively few customers have been willing to pay for streaming music. Rhapsody, online since 2001, has 750,000 users; MOG does not report its subscription numbers, but analysts estimate that they are much lower.

Apple and Google are also working on cloud-based music services, but they have been mum about their plans.

Hyman says he believes the car, where people do much of their listening, could be digital music’s biggest opportunity by far, capable of attracting millions of new subscribers. Pandora, the Internet radio service, is already in many cars, including the Mini, and 20 million subscribers pay for satellite radio from Sirius XM. But so far on-demand music has been unavailable.

“The car is the holy grail,” said Hyman. “I look at the satellite-radio market in America, with 20 million subscribers, and I don’t see why we shouldn’t be 20 mil-

Settlement talks Since last fall, the nation’s biggest mortgage servicers have been under investigation by all 50 state attorneys general, after a nationwide furor was set off by revelations that documents in many foreclosure cases were signed with only a cursory review, a practice known as robo-signing.

Settlement talks are running on two tracks. The attorneys generals, backed up by a host of federal agencies, last week presented the five biggest mortgage servicers with a 27-page draft settlement proposal that could profoundly change how homeowners in default are treated.

The attorneys general, the federal consumer bureau and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. are also pushing for a large monetary settlement from the servicers. Much of that money would be used to modify the loan terms for borrowers who are delinquent or facing foreclosure, perhaps reducing the interest rate or the principal to

lion subscribers.”

MOG’s controls on the Mini are integrated into the dashboard’s digital display, and activated by hooking up a smart phone through the car’s Mini Connected system. The program connects to the Internet through the phone, but otherwise it is handled entirely through the standard dashboard controls.

Only recently have car manufacturers been able to incorporate such new features, said Rob Passaro, a senior project manager at the BMW Group.

“We interact with lots of cool technology companies, and the conversations we’ve always had over the years is: ‘Hey, awesome service, we want to get it into the car. When can it happen?’ ‘Oh, in about five years,’ ” Passaro said.

“Now we can move as quickly as the consumer tech industry on these things.”

To attract listeners who enjoy the sense of serendipity they get with Pandora, which creates custom music streams based on users’ tastes, MOG has developed a feature that combines ondemand and radiolike service; when a digital slider is moved to one side, a stream of one artist’s music will gradually filter in similar music.

“We want to be in all these places where consumers listen to music,” Hyman said.

lower monthly payments.

But regulators disagree over how big that settlement should be. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve do not favor as large a penalty as the attorneys general and the consumer bureau do.

In addition, Miller admitted that it was not always clear who had final say in the negotiations.

“Nobody’s driving the bus,” he said. “Nobody really has the lead or is in control of this. It’s a real joint effort.”

Under the blueprint presented last week, banks would be prohibited from starting foreclosure proceedings while a borrower was actively trying to lower the interest rate or ease other terms of the home loan.

Any borrower who successfully made three payments in a trial loan modification would be given a permanent modification. When a modification was denied, it would be automatically reviewed by an ombudsman or independent review panel. In addition, banks would have to reward their employees for pursuing modifications over foreclosures, while late fees would be curtailed.

SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube, the video site owned by Google, formally announced on Monday that it had acquired Next New Networks, a Web video production company, in its biggest effort yet to move beyond short, quirky home videos to professionally produced content.

The acquisition of Next New Networks, which produces original programming and helps video creators distribute their films and make money, is YouTube’s biggest leap into creating its own programming. But that will be minimal, the companies

said. Original programming has taken a back seat at Next New Networks, and Google has shied away from producing its own content.

“We want to make as clean a line as possible for us to build the platform on YouTube and then let the content production happen with our partners,” said Tom Pickett, director of global content operation at YouTube.

Google will pay less than $50 million for the company, according to two people briefed on the terms of the deal, which The New York Times first reported YouTube’s interest in the company in December. The compa-

nies declined to comment on the price.

Improving its original programming is crucial for YouTube, which faces competition from Web video services like Hulu, iTunes and Netflix. For its part, Google, which is trying to popularize its Google TV service, needs more Web video that people will watch for hours at a time.

“There’s still a lot of YouTube that’s about the single video experience right now,” Pickett said.

“We want to think about sets of videos and program experiences. That’s where we’re heading, and we think this team is going to help us get there.”

Oil Continued from B1 But at last week’s closing of $114, the price of each of those barrels of Ural crude, the country’s main export blend, has risen 24 percent since the beginning of the year.

Last week, the prime minister, Putin, sat down for a meeting with Russia’s finance minister, Aleksei Kudrin, which was nationally televised on state news channels for the public’s enlightenment as the two discussed, just short of gloating, the benefits to Russia of a global oil panic.

“Mr. Kudrin, budget revenues have become considerable,” Putin said matter-of-factly.

Kudrin agreed, noting that if prices hold, Russia will be able to resume contributions to its sovereign wealth funds for the first time since the summer of 2008, when the global recession began.

One of those sovereign investment vehicles, the Reserve Fund, could reach $50 billion by the end of the year, Kudrin reported. Just a few months ago Russian officials planning the 2011 budget had anticipated the fund would be depleted.

“Good,” Putin responded to Kudrin’s account, nodding with satisfaction.

“The upheavals taking place in a number of the oil- and gasproducing countries now send a signal to investors to come to Russia,” Total’s chief executive, Christophe de Margerie, said in a meeting with President Dmitry

Medvedev announcing the deal.

Margerie said his company was committing about $4 billion to the venture. “Russia offers a much safer environment for investment,” he said.

Oil experts say that because global production capacity for oil is still far larger than world demand, the run-up in prices is being fueled by fear more than by reality. The concern is that the violence in Libya could spread to other member states of the Organization for the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which are primarily Arab nations.

Russia is not only outside OPEC, and thus free from the cartel’s production restraints, but also, with its formidable secret police apparatus and a population bulge among the elderly rather than the young, is seen as less vul-

nerable to an outbreak of social unrest.

Russia is building a pipeline under the Baltic Sea directly to Germany, called Nord Stream, and has proposed another similar pipeline under the Black Sea to Bulgaria. It says these pipes will reduce the risk of traveling overland through central European countries that are unfriendly to Russia, but some European governments have balked at the high cost and political subtexts of these projects.

When Putin visited Brussels last month, he had a new argument for these pipes, which he has championed for years. “I am confident that the real long-term interests of the European economy lie with our resources,” Putin said at a news conference. “Nothing matters more than stability.”

HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS

Irrigation district studying area canals for power

Well sh t!

WORKSHOP: RULE OF THIRDS

Last Tuesday we asked readers to submit photos that show the use of the Rule of Thirds. Follow the series at www.bendbulletin.com/wellshoot Coming up: March 22: Virtual field trip to downtown • April 5: Triptychs • April 19: Virtual field trip to Pilot Butte • May 3: Letters in nature • And more ...

More hydroelectric plants could be in the region’s future, with the Central Oregon Irrigation District studying the feasibility of six sites along its canals.

The district already has two plants in the Bend area — one in the city’s Juniper Ridge project and another near Mt. Bachelor Village — and could expand that number with the assistance of a $36,000 Oregon Department of Energy grant. The potential sites are located around Bend and Redmond, with one within the limits of each city, another just south of Redmond, and three east of Bend.

The largest proposed plant — a 1.2-megawatt facility northeast of Bend — would likely cost in the neighborhood of $1 million.

The district would sell the power to energy companies, which could produce up to $80,000 in annual gross revenues for the district. Each site’s study will provide more specific numbers, according to Steve Johnson, district manager.

Revenue from hydroelectric plants helps offset the district’s increasing costs, Johnson said.

“It’s not like all of a sudden it’s this awesome gold mine and every patron of the district gets to go on vacation to Hawaii,” Johnson said. “It adds additional revenue that we don’t have to charge patrons as an increase.”

Johnson expects each of the studies to be completed in the next month.

Once the studies are done, the district may send out a request for proposals calling for private companies to build plants.

Change to home brew law step closer Supporters hope bill will be passed in time for fairs to schedule beer competitions

“Elephant families — mostly the females — are fiercely protective of their young. It’s beautiful to watch.”

SALEM — Competitive home-brewers are one step closer to pouring a celebratory drink, thanks to a House panel that moved a much-discussed change in the law closer to reality Monday.

“The current law was great while we all ignored it,” Ted Hausotter told members of the House IN THE Business LEGISLATURE and Labor Committee.

But since the state’s alcohol regulatory agency, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, started enforcing a long-ignored statute last summer, it has been legal to consume homemade brew and craft wine only in the places where they were made.

“It is stifling the home-brew community,” said Hausotter, who spoke on behalf of the Oregon Homebrewers Alliance, Good Libations and several other homebrew organizations. “Many are concerned with taking beer or wine out of the house. … Yes, the current law is that restrictive, stopping transportation, social gatherings and education.

It is hard to educate how to judge home brew without home brew.

Home-brewing is down in our state, and beer competitions are nonexistent.”

La Pine’s ‘Trunkor-Treat’ wins state accolade Submitted by user howardg

LA PINE — The original idea behind the 2010 Halloween Party was to make it easier and safer for La Pine kids to safely trick-or-treat.

So a “Trunk-or-Treat” event was organized at the La Pine Events Center on Halloween night. At the event, community members and local businesses set up booths and handed out treats.

The gathering was a success, with more than 1,500 kids and parents participating.

The event also won the sponsor, the La Pine Park and Recreation District, the state “Best New Event” award from the Oregon Festival and Events Association.

The association, which assists communities in planning, organizing and promoting community events and festivals, presented the award March 1.

La Pine’s “Trunk-or-Treat” was started as a family-oriented community event, said Justin Cutler, director of the park and recreation district.

“There are other, similar events throughout the country,” he said. “They are popular everywhere, urban or rural, since it allows a safe event to be held, and it reduces the danger.”

Two Crook County water experts will talk to residents Wednesday morning about the past, present and future of water resources in the Prineville area as government officials continue to find ways to keep the county hydrated.

Mike Kasberger, manager of the Ochoco Irrigation District, and Bob Main, a former Central Oregon Watermaster, will speak at 7 a.m. at Meadow Lakes Restaurant, 300 S.W. Meadowlakes Dr. in Prineville.

The Ochoco Irrigation District primarily covers Prineville and serves about 20,000 acres of land in Crook County.

“We’re going to talk about how we, the Ochoco Irrigation District, operate,” Kasberger said.

“We’re going to talk about how we operate in regards to fish, recreation, farming and habitat conservation and the legislation involved with that.”

Kasberger said he plans to update attendees on efforts to reintroduce steelhead populations above the Pelton Dam — a project that has introduced more than 1 million baby fish into the area over the past three years.

OSU researchers helping develop mini-chopper to count, sort plant life

By Sarah Eddington The Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A team of researchers is developing a way to save nursery producers across the globe the hassle of manually counting millions of plants over vast acres of land, and the solution is in the sky.

Researchers from the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, Oregon State University and the University of Florida are tackling the issue with a remote-controlled helicopter equipped with a digital camera and software that can count the plants and sort them by size and grade. “As with any business, having an accurate and real-time inventory is critical,� said Jim Robbins, extension horticulture specialist for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. “The key is that we could provide them with a more accurate, cost-effective way to collect inventory data.�

Robbins said the idea originated in 2008 when he was visiting a nursery producer in Oregon who casually mentioned the challenges and limitations of current inventory methods. Robbins said traditionally, inventory is done by manual counts in the field. “It’s not humanly possible for them to use human beings to count all of these plants, so what they do is count a subsample and use that to estimate the total crop,� he said. “Our goal is to give them a cost-effective way to obtain real-time information that can far exceed what a human can do.�

The multi-rotor helicopter consists of a platform 3 feet in diameter attached to four to eight separate propeller blades and supports an off-the-shelf digital camera. The entire device weighs about 2 pounds.

It is expected to range in cost from $3,000 to $5,000.

In September, the research

A prototype remote control, multi-rotor helicopter flies by a tree farm near Portland in September 2010. team hosted a demonstration in Oregon for top leaders in the nursery industry. Robbins said researchers are still in the early stages of the design process, but they have already received ample interest from the leading nursery producers in the country.

The team also has received funding from the Oregon Association of Nurseries and the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

Gary McAninch, nursery and Christmas tree program manager for the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said this project was one of nine to receive funding from the agency in January, and that members of the industry are excited to see it in action. “This was a very highly ranked project,� McAninch said. “It’s fairly labor-intensive to do inventory counts on your plants.

We thought this project would be very helpful to the nursery industry.�

O Threatened status of grizzly bears appealed

“I am very capable of taking care of my constituents here in Oregon, very capable of discharging the obligations that you have entrusted me with in the last election.”

— U.S. Rep. David Wu, D-Portland

Pendleton man killed by train identified PENDLETON — Police in Pendleton have identified a man who witnesses said made no attempt to get out of the way of a freight train.

The East Oregonian reported that 57-year-old Robert W. Crawford Sr. of Pendleton died Sunday after an eastbound train struck him about 8 p.m. while he was sitting on the tracks.

Police said witnesses reported Crawford did not try to avoid the approaching train, which repeatedly blew its horn while approaching the crossing.

Police said it was unknown if drugs or alcohol played a role, pending the results of toxicology tests.

It was the second death by a train in Pendleton in less than a year.

PORTLAND — Dueling attorneys for a conservation group and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offered starkly different opinions Monday about the future of the grizzly bear population in and around Yellowstone National Park, if the bear is taken off the threatened species list.

Three 9th Circuit Court of Appeals justices heard arguments and rebuttals from each side more than a year after U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy put the grizzlies back on the list.

The federal government is bullish on the bear’s prospects, and state wildlife agencies from Montana and Wyoming have argued in briefs that officials are confident the bears won’t go extinct if states are left to manage them.

Environmental groups say the bear’s future is murky, and lifting protections now poses too great a risk to their survival.

Declining food source Molloy’s ruling, which resolved a lawsuit brought by the Montana-based Greater Yellowstone Coalition, highlighted the deaths of hundreds of thousands of whitebark pine trees over the past two decades.

The pine trees produce nuts that some grizzlies rely upon as a mainstay, and the number of trees has been falling. The reasons range from climate change to the presence of a destructive species of beetle, but the shrinking food source has pushed grizzlies to look for food in areas that increasingly bring them into contact with humans.

Allen Brabender, a U.S. Justice Department attorney, argued Monday that the bear’s population has been growing from between 4 percent and 7 percent a year, and the bears will find a way to adapt without the whitebark pine seeds.

Appellate court judge Susan Graber said she saw a disconnect in the government’s argument.

“You say they’ll find other things to eat, so they won’t starve,” Graber said.

Brabender responded that the government didn’t have to prove that the bears would find a replacement food source.

“Even in years without the whitebark pine being available, Yellowstone grizzly populations were still up,” he said.

Problem bears Tensions have been rising in the northern Rockies as the bear population increases and the animals spread into parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, where they prey on livestock, damage property and periodically attack humans.

The government agencies in favor of removing the bear from the threatened species list argue that an appellate court judge shouldn’t act as a scientist in determining the whitebark pine seed issue, according to a brief filed by the state of Wyoming.

Longtime conservationist attorney Doug Honnold said the Yellowstone area is the “shining example” of bear conservation, but areas around Yellowstone concern conservationists.

“At what point,” asked judge Sidney R. Thomas, “does the grizzly get to where it could be delisted?” Honnold declined to give a specific number but said the U.S. Forest Service number of 500 was too low.

Oregon Democratic Congressman David Wu answers questions in Hillsboro on Monday. Wu is reaching out to key constituents in his district as he tries to position himself for re-election after questions about his mental health led to the resignations of several staff members.

Wu reaching out after odd episodes Congressman seeks to reassure constituents he can do job properly

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

HILLSBORO — U.S. Rep. David Wu tried Monday to reassure constituents following reports about his odd behavior on the campaign trail and concerns about his mental health.

Wu spoke briefly at the Washington County Public Affairs Forum in Hillsboro, telling about 50 people at the weekly luncheon that he’s capable of doing his job.

Wu, D-Portland, repeated an argument he has used since questions arose publicly about his health more than two weeks ago.

The seventh-term congressman said he takes full responsibility for his inappropriate behavior, which included angry speeches and sending pictures to staff members of himself wearing a tiger costume.

“I am very capable of taking care of my constituents here in Oregon, very capable of discharging the obligations that you have entrusted me with in the last election,” Wu said at the forum.

Wu has said he will run for re-election, and the reports about his mental health have forced him to get an unusually early start on his bid.

He spent the weekend crisscrossing his district in northwestern Oregon, which

includes a number of high-tech firms and some of the largest employers in Oregon, including Intel and Nike.

He previewed a campaign message Monday, declaring himself “the education guy” and a leader in science and technology policy.

Seven of Wu’s staff members resigned last year after some of them tried to persuade Wu to seek psychiatric treatment because of his bizarre behavior.

The congressman repeated Monday that he’s being treated and is in “a good place.”

He told The Associated Press last month that his behavior during the campaign was the culmination of a two-year period of mental health challenges that began in 2008 as marital discord led toward his separation from his wife.

“To me perhaps the most disturbing thing about what’s happened in the last few weeks is I’ve let the story become about me,” Wu said Monday. “The story should never be about me. ... It should be about you and the challenges that you face every single day.”

Wu spoke for about 15 minutes and took three questions from the audience. Only one touched on his mental health.

Forrest Soth, 91, of Beaverton wanted to know if Wu could handle the stress of trying to avert a government shutdown if Republicans and Democrats can’t pass a new federal budget or at least a stopgap measure.

Wu said it’s critical that Congress avoid a government shutdown to ensure services continue and paychecks go out.

Kitzhaber pledges support for labor unions The Associated Press SALEM — Hundreds of union members who rallied at noon at the state Capitol in Salem got a pledge from Gov. John Kitzhaber that he’s on their side.

Democratic governor said the state will not solve its budget crisis or fix other problems by attacking the labor movement or making scapegoats out of public employees.

The event was organized as a

statement to Oregon lawmakers drafting the two-year state budget and a show of solidarity with embattled public employees in Wisconsin, where a Republican governor is trying to eliminate collective bargaining rights.

Obama names judge to grant board SALEM — President Barack Obama has nominated Chief Judge David Brewer of the Oregon Court of Appeals for the board of the State Justice Institute.

The institute is not a federal agency, but its 11 board members are named by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. It was created in 1984 to award grants for improvements in state courts.

The Statesman Journal reported that Brewer has been on the Oregon appeals court, one of the nation’s busiest intermediate-level courts, since 1999.

He has been its chief judge since November 2004.

Worker unhurt as car rams gas station

a car came crashing through a wall and into the cashier stand inside the station in Springfield.

KEZI-TV reported the unidentified worker was sweeping the floor when an entire wall suddenly came down on top of him early Saturday.

The manager of the AM PM Mini Market, Casey Wilson, told the television station that just another foot, and the worker could have been hurt. The worker was treated at a hospital and released.

In a video of the crash, the worker climbs out of all the debris and hurdles over the counter to get to safety.

Wilson said the driver was circling the parking lot and having an argument with his female companion when the crash occurred.

Autistic boy can bring service dog to school HILLSBORO — The Hillsboro School District has agreed to allow a fourth-grader with autism to use his service dog at school, a decision that follows three years of lobbying from the boy’s family.

The Oregonian reported the district announced last week it would let 10-year-old Jordan Givens bring his trained dog with him to school on a trial basis. This came after a January meeting between Superintendent Mike Scott, the boy’s family and U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton.

The district had refused to let Jordan bring his German shepherd to school, saying the boy was adequately meeting his education plan goals.

His mother says the dog helps Jordan remain calm. The boy wears a belt attached to a harness on the animal.

The Department of Justice spent a year investigating the matter.

Whitsett’s idea makes sense

I

f Oregon Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, has his way, at least one state law will make more sense at the end of this legislative session than it does today. Whitsett is proposing

changes to the law that requires solar power, and only solar power, be incorporated in certain public buildings around the state.

The law, enacted by the 2007 Legislature, requires that public agencies building new facilities or spending at least $1 million remodeling old ones use at least 1.5 percent of what they spend on solar energy.

The gain, according to those who supported the bill at the time, is twofold. Oregon’s public agencies move to the front of the green energy race, while Oregon’s then-infant solar energy industry gets a boost, as well.

That might be good for the solar energy industry, but several other so-called green energy options deserve the chance for equal time, and Whitsett’s amendments to the 2007 act would give it to them.

He does not propose removing the requirement for public use of green energy, the option that would be most cost-effective but least politically correct.

Rather, Whitsett proposes to change the law so that energy from small hydro projects, biomass and on-site wind and geothermal projects would qualify to meet the green-energy requirement. At least as important, conservation measures that cut

energy usage by 20 percent or more also would qualify.

The change, if it is approved, would be good news in Central and Eastern Oregon. To the south, Oregon Institute of Technology has taken advantage of the Klamath Falls area’s geothermal resource for more than 40 years. The idea that it would be required to add solar panels to any future project is simply silly.

Closer to home, Central Oregon Community College will put up several new buildings in the region over the next few years, some of which are better suited for other forms of green energy or conservation than for solar.

Giving the school the option to choose among them makes both environmental and financial sense.

If Oregon’s public agencies are going to be pushed to go green, they shouldn’t be barred from doing so in the way that best suits them. It’s fine, we suppose, to support the solar industry in this state, but if we’re going to do that, we should at the same time support all green energy industries with equal fervor. Whitsett’s Senate Bill 586 meets both goals nicely.

Disagreement can’t be put off forever G ov. John Kitzhaber told a Portland audience last week that he had asked leaders of the Oregon House of Representatives to delay discussion of a measure that would change one portion of state tax law.

His reason? The proposed change promised to create a split in the evenly divided House, and the governor worried that a split will make it difficult for him to accomplish all he has set out to do.

His agenda is nothing if not aggressive. He wants to revamp the state’s education system from kindergarten through college, even as he is overhauling its health care system simultaneously. He hopes to shift emphasis and dollars to Oregon’s youngest residents on the theory that money spent on the very young delivers a bigger bang for the buck than money spent elsewhere. And, there’s that $3 billion-plus budget gap to close.

Accomplishing all this will take some doing. Supporters of higher education, as one example, are sure to squawk loudly if funds for the state’s university system are cut and not replaced with new freedom for the system to raise and spend money on its own.

They will point out, correctly, that while money spent on 5-year-olds is fine, it does little good if those same

children grow up to a higher education system that has been beggared beyond recognition.

If he is to have even an outside shot at doing all he hopes to do, Kitzhaber has to move fast. He is best served if party disagreements have not yet reached a critical level and lawmakers, particularly those in the evenly divided House, are still operating in the glow of goodwill that begins most legislative sessions.

He may well have run out of much of his needed time Monday. The House of Representatives considered a Democratic proposal to delay a vote on SB 301 for a few days, as the governor had wanted.

They were outmaneuvered by their Republican counterparts, however, and two members of the former group joined the Republicans to force a vote on the measure Monday. The measure to reconnect was approved by a 41-19 margin. As Kitzhaber had feared, the discussions before the votes were fairly contentious.

Whether that disagreement will have an impact on Kitzhaber’s plans remains to be seen. In reality, however, he could not seriously have expected lawmakers to put controversy on the back burner while he works to persuade them to accept his plan.

People simply don’t work that way, not even lawmakers.

My Nickel’s Worth Alert travelers to dangers The Bulletin tells us that another two people died due to icy roadways over the Feb. 19 weekend: one at the Santiam Junction and one near Lava Butte. Both were due to drivers losing control and their vehicles sliding into the opposite lane. The Lava Butte driver was from California driving north.

Again, it seems that speed and being unaccustomed to winter driving precautions have claimed two more lives and caused several serious injuries.

How many more of us will be victims due to other drivers’ lack of caution?

It’s one thing for locals to know how to drive safely in winter, like slowing down and not using cruise control, but quite another to convey that to a tired out-of-state driver in a hurry and used to a high speed limit.

It’s bad enough the driver at fault is killed, but, in addition, the driver not at fault, driving the opposite direction, also dies. We have to install some kind of alert/control that activates when ice forms on the highways — an electric sign, ODOT/highway patrolmen, roadside inspections, etc. Concrete lane separators spanning the higher-elevation highway sections would also save lives.

Money is tight these days, but how much is it worth to stay alive while you drive on the ice? Please e-mail our representative, Jason Conger, with your thoughts at rep.jasonconger@state .or.us or phone 503-986-1454.

Obama’s broken vow Every president of the United States of America has been sworn into office in accordance with Article II Section 1 of the Constitution, and so doing has sworn to “… preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

On Feb. 24, The Bulletin reported (correctly), “President Obama has declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and directed the Department of Justice to stop defending the law in court.”

By so doing, Obama has usurped the powers granted to the Supreme Court and openly broken the oath of office vow he took upon being inaugurated.

The Defense of Marriage Act was legally created. No president has the right or power to declare a law unconstitutional. In the writer’s opinion, Obama has violated the oath of office and should be impeached and removed from office before he can do further damage.

Peace and quiet first As a semiannual visitor to Crater Lake, I am appalled at the suggestion of helicopters for hire there.

It seems like one of the last places on earth you can go for some peace and quiet. This sort of beauty will not be enhanced by the sight and sound of a man-made vehicle in the sky.

A couple of more reasons to oppose this? Helicopters are nowhere close to being fuel-efficient, and their safety record is not stellar. Let wealthy tourists fly their playthings away from our national treasure.

Restrict travel, save money One of the justifications for the reclassifying of high schools and the reassignment of many leagues throughout the state was to save money on travel expenses.

I’m sure this goal was at least partially met, but how do you justify the expense of the Marshfield High girls’ bas-

ketball team traveling six hours to Bend (and back) after a 2-22 season? Closer to home, Summit will travel to Corvallis as a “reward” for its less-than-stellar 7-16 season.

Why don’t we just lay off a few teachers and eliminate all music programs so all the teams can make the playoffs?

Peter Stoefen Bend

No new roundabouts I support the views of Jim Carmichael (Feb. 18) and John Speckmann (Feb. 26) about the road plan put forth by the Bend City Council.

The city needs to put its money into improving the existing system instead of building new roundabouts. I do support the ideas about roundabouts, but in this poor economy, the city needs to look at the existing roads and not grandiose future roads.

Brent Lake Bend

No free ride to job security Seniority should not be a free ride to employment in the Redmond School District.

When facing a $10 million budget shortfall, why would a school district’s youngest and arguably brightest workers be subject to layoff? All teachers need to stay up to date on the latest and best teaching practices and principles.

If a teacher has stayed current in his or her academic knowledge by attending seminars and taking classes, then seniority should be the deciding factor in the layoff process. Public sector employees have been fairly immune to the layoff process. This practice has to end when it comes to the education of our children.

Despite an expert’s claim, cancer still reigns as top killer

By Archie Bleyer Bulletin guest columnist

O

n Feb. 20, The Bulletin published David Ropeik’s special editorial to The Washington Post titled “Fears vs. facts: Should the public’s horror of cancer be a factor when EPA weighs new regulations?”

Ropeik is an instructor in the Harvard Extension Program, a consultant on risk perception and risk management, and author of “How Risky Is It, Really?

Why Our Fears Don’t Always Match the Facts.” More than most anyone, he should therefore have his facts straight.

Unfortunately, he didn’t do his homework for the editorial he wrote. In it, he criticizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for considering cancerrelated deaths to have a higher potential impact on our economy than those caused by heart disease. Apparently, the

EPA is now required to conduct a costbenefit analysis for all regulations which impact the economy by $100 million or more. Ropeik takes issue with the EPA’s intent, claiming that more people in the U.S. die of heart disease than of cancer and that heart disease “kills across a broader range of demographics.”

In his editorial, Ropeik states that death by heart disease is “far more likely” than death by cancer. He used data from 2007, when heart disease killed about 616,000 in the U.S., and cancer 563,000. The data he cites do not take into account the relative mortality trends of cancer and heart disease that now have more Americans dying of cancer than any other disease. Deaths due to heart disease have been declining nationally at a rate between 16,000 and 24,000 fewer deaths per year, depending on the how the rate is calculated.

IN MY VIEW Cancer deaths, on the other hand, have been increasing since at least 1960, and at a constant increment between 2000 and 2007 of 1,300 additional deaths per year. This year as many as 30,000 more Americans are expected to die of cancer than of heart disease.

Ropeik is more than just out of date.

As to the range of demographics, cancer has killed more children, adolescents and young adults (less than 40 years of age) than heart disease since at least 1969, when national mortality statistics first became available. The same is true for middle-aged adults 40 to 60 years old since 1982 and older adults 60 to 75 years of age since 1990. No race, ethnicity, gender or age subgroup is spared from cancer or death from cancer. We

know of no one who is immune from getting cancer.

Ropeik is correct in describing cancer as the disease Americans fear most, and he rightfully cautions us (and the EPA) to regard facts more than fear, per se.

Americans not only fear the consequences and suffering associated with cancer, but also are now justified in fearing its foremost incidence and prevalence. In the case of the two most frequent killers of Americans however — together heart disease and cancer cause more deaths than the next six causes of death combined — the fear can be minimized because both are substantively avoidable vis-à-vis physical fitness, proper nutrition and other lifestyle choices.

Having been a pediatric oncologist since 1969, when national mortality data first became available, I have endeavored to get the facts right for more

than four decades. Having seen more children die of cancer than any other disease throughout my life, and knowing that more young adults and children continue to die of cancer than of any other disease, I am compelled to recognize the magnitude of the problem.

Having graduated from the same school where Ropeik taught Knight Science Journalism Fellowship courses (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), I share his dedication to science, to explaining risk in practical and understandable terms, and to guiding emotion with accurate information. We both want to set records straight. This time, however, the expert on risk took too much of a risk with static data and ignored trends, misappropriated breadth, and underestimated the source of fear.

Home brew Continued from C1 SB 444, which has already cleared the Senate, now goes to the House floor for a vote. Those behind the bill say the goal is to have the legislation passed in time for county fairs to put out their schedules, which they usually do at the end of March or early in April. Many homemade beer and wine competitions, popular at county fairs, were canceled last summer.

John McCulley spoke on behalf of the Oregon Fairs Association. He told lawmakers there are usually more than 1,000 homemade beer and wine entries in county fairs across the state.

By Dennis Hevesi NEW YORK — Mike DeStefano, a burly, tattooed comedian who turned his recovery from heroin addiction into brutally honest, profanity-laced routines, died on Sunday in the Bronx.

He was in his 40s, but his lawyer, Josh Sandler, who confirmed the death, could not provide a birth date or a cause.

One of DeStefano’s lines was, “I hate hypocrites,” followed by an expletive-laden assessment of “anyone who says he doesn’t curse.” A milder one was, “Don’t do drugs, because if you do, you’ll end up with a ‘Comedy Central Presents’ special.” He did.

Besides being a regular at clubs in New York and around the country, DeStefano appeared on television on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham,” “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” and Showtime; on radio on “The Opie & Anthony Show”; and at popular comedy festivals in Montreal and Aspen, Colo.

Last year he finished among the top five finalists on the NBC show “Last Comic Standing.”

(One judge on that show, Greg Giraldo, died last year.)

“I am a stand-up comic,” DeStefano said on his website, mikedestefano.com, in a statement taken from his comedy act.

“Before that, I was a drug counselor. Before that, I was a drug addict. Before that, I was 12.”

DeStefano got his first gig almost unintentionally. Born in the Bronx, he was 15 when he got hooked on heroin. At 31, after years in rehab, he became a drug counselor in Florida. Bored with the standard substance-abuse lecture, he began punctuating his talks with personal asides and off-color language.

“It’s important to note homebrewers and home wine makers take as much pride as pie makers,” he told committee members.

He said the new legislation would give craft beer makers and wine makers the clarity they need.

“I am a stand-up comic. Before that, I was a drug counselor.

Before that, I was a drug addict. Before that, I was 12.”

— Excerpt from DeStefano’s comedy act everybody was crammed into a tent, DeStefano stepped before the microphone.

“I went up in front of all these people and started ranting about drugs,” he said in an interview for the website ComedyBeat. “It was bizarre how they loved it.”

He would go on to perform at

Aaron Hofferber, president of the Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization, said in an earlier interview he was glad to hear the bill was moving so swiftly through the Legislature. He’s so optimistic it will pass that he’s planned a home brew competition, called Spring Fling, for April.

Rep. Mike Schaufler, D-Happy Valley, told committee members he would like to carry the bill to the House for a vote as soon as possible.

“Benjamin Franklin is quoted as (saying), ‘Beer is proof that God loves us,’ ” Schaufler said.

U.S. Zebra Books, the company’s sole imprint until the late 1980s, became known for its embossed covers, with a lurid “sunset” palette of purples, pinks and oranges and a bold use of foil. Zacharius pushed the taste boundary even further in 1989, when he began putting holograms on his covers.

Although the company occasionally published name writers, including Joyce Carol Oates, Isaac Asimov and Jerzy Kosinski, its economic well-being and its reputation lay with many writers largely unknown to The New York Review of Books — best-sellers like Fern Michaels, Lisa Jackson and Beverly Barton.

“We’re not impressed with what’s selling on Fifth Avenue or Rodeo Drive,” Zacharius told The New York Times in 1982.

“Our readers patronize suburban shopping malls.”

Walter Zacharius was born on Oct. 16, 1923, in New York, and attended public schools. He enlisted in the Army soon after leaving high school and took part in the Normandy invasion and the liberation of Paris.

After returning to the U.S., he found a job with Macfadden Publications, working on magazines like True Confessions and True Story before teaming up with Aaron Wyn at Ace, where he helped create Ace Double Novels, a paperback line that offered two books in one volume.

With Irwin Stein, he founded Lancer Books in 1961 to publish genre fiction, primarily science fiction and fantasy, notably the “Conan the Barbarian” stories of Robert E. Howard. The company also turned out erotic crime and spy novels.

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Walter Zacharius, who rode the passion-swollen wave of romance fiction in the early 1980s to build the Kensington Publishing Corp. into a leading purveyor of bodice-rippers and other romance genres, died Wednesday at his home in New York. He was 87.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, his son, Steven, said.

Zacharius emerged from the world of true-confession magazines and paperback genre fiction to found Kensington in 1974 with Roberta Grossman. Beating the bushes for overlooked writers and eager first-timers willing to start out cheap, the partners developed the careers of prolific and profit-generating authors like Janelle Taylor and Katherine Stone.

As it expanded the romance genre to embrace paranormal romance, adult Western romance and romance titles aimed at Hispanic, black and gay readers, Kensington branched out into new forms of distribution. Zacharius signed deals with Wal-Mart, sold his books on the shopping network QVC and saw the potential of ebooks early on.

Through its Zebra, Dafina, Brava, Encanto and other imprints, Kensington publishes about 450 fiction and nonfiction books a year in a wide variety of genres. Although about 60 percent of its list is devoted to titles like “A Little Bit Sinful” and “A Storm of Pleasure,” it has also published “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” by Tucker Max. With sales of $70 million, the company is the largest independent publisher of mass-market titles in the

Mike Carano Cringe Humor Entertainment via The Associated Press

more than 100 substance-recovery events around the world. He liked to tell those audiences, in vivid language, that they had probably joined a 12-step program just so they could meet people.

DeStefano’s wife, Fran, who had also been an addict and who contracted AIDS, died several years ago. Information about his survivors was not available.

Several weeks ago, as he was working to draw fans to what turned out to be one of his last performances in Manhattan, DeStefano wrote wryly, if eerily, on his website: “I might die tomorrow and you won’t get a chance to see my show, ‘Drugs, Disease and Death: A Comedy

by Mike DeStefano.’ Then you’ll feel bad. Let’s avoid all that and buy tickets.”

Award Continued from C1 In La Pine, along with many rural areas with widely dispersed homes, Cutler said, a lot of time and parental driving are needed for kids to get much candy. There is also the danger of hordes of excited kids who might ignore street-crossing danger and common sense in their pursuit of Halloween treats.

“Trick-or-treating can be dangerous, particularly if the area

is dark and the kids are wearing dark costumes and walking by the side of the road,” he said.

“By having a centrally located event like Trunk-or-Treat, it can be well-lighted and supervised.

The kids go trunk-to-truck as opposed to house-to-house.”

Trunk-Or-Treat ended up “being like a carnival,” Cutler said, with decorated trucks and car trunks, booths and costumes.

“It was an open-house style party with cars set up in a circle around our field by the event center and a booth inside

help to keep the consumptive rate of water in the area low.

Also in the works to help the area is legislation from U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River.

According to a spokesman, Walden continues to work on introducing a bill to move a misplaced environmental boundary on Bowman Dam that would allow for the release of more water from the dam and could help improve the city’s access to water.

U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, both Oregon Democrats, have also voiced support of such a plan.

The event will be repeated next year, Cutler said.

“Everybody who participated was really positive, and I heard several people say how they couldn’t wait to decorate their trucks or cars and hand out candy next year,” Cutler said.

Continued from C1 Also, he plans on giving a “Crooked River 101” talk that will explain some of the challenges the area is facing.

Main said he will speak on the history of water in the area, saying the story is “very interesting and filled with heroes and villains.”

“Most people think of water as just being there,” Main said.

“You turn on your tap and it appears. But it didn’t always.

“The history is interesting because we need to be aware of where we came from so we know how to get where we are going.”

Water issues are not new to the area.

City of Prineville Engineer Eric Klann explained in an interview with The Bulletin in January that the main problem the city is facing is minimal groundwater resources, meaning wells are either extremely low in flow or completely dry.

Canals Continued from C1 Several factors could influence how much a plant costs, including who builds the infrastructure, Johnson said.

State and federal tax incentive programs help make projects like these more affordable, according to Kevin Crew, president of Tumalo-based Black Rock Consulting.

The region is ripe for more hydroelectric projects along canals, said Crew, who is working with the district on the feasibility studies.

For instance, a roughly 700foot elevation drop between Bend and Redmond means the canal water could be used both for farming and to produce energy.

Because the plants often involve piping, the canals can become more efficient and lose less water to seepage, Crew said.

“I’m really positive about this resource we have,” Crew said.

“If (the water) is kept instream, that’s great. If it’s spread to other lands, there’s not really an environmental benefit to that.”

— John Devoe, WaterWatch Oregon executive director

“There’s multiple uses for this water.”

If hydroelectric projects make the canals more efficient, a question remains about what happens to unused water. By piping their canals, irrigation districts are able to serve the needs of their members without diverting as much from rivers.

They may continue to divert the same amount and use the excess to irrigate more land. Alternatively, they can leave the extra water in stream, according WaterWatch Oregon Executive

Director John DeVoe. The more public funding that goes to a project, the more water must be left in a stream or river.

DeVoe’s group hopes that hydroelectric projects along canals will boost in-stream flows.

“If (the water) is kept instream, that’s great,” DeVoe said. “If it’s spread to other lands, there’s not really an environmental benefit to that.”

Selection committee sequestered in luxury bunker

Taking their best shot — together Special Olympics basketball receives a little coaching from smokejumpers

They form a curious and seemingly unlikely combination, a group of smokejumpers and a set of athletes with cognitive disabilities.

And yet, members of those two demographics have joined forces in Central Oregon in recent years, and the outcome is a swelling Special Olympics basketball program based in Redmond.

“I do it a lot for myself just as much as I do it for the athletes,” Gabe Mason said, after a recent Tuesday practice, about coaching. “I get as much mental benefit out of it as they do.”

Mason, 35, is head coach of the Mountain Lions and one of about a half-dozen locally based smokejumpers who serve as coaches for the

COLUMBUS, Ohio — From Wednesday morning through Sunday night, nine men and one woman, along with assorted helpers and facilitators, will be sequestered on the 15th floor of The Westin hotel in Indianapolis.

Ensconced in a luxury bunker, they won’t come out for good until they’ve decided the 68 NCAA men’s tournament teams, seeded them and placed them in the brackets.

“There’s nobody up there but us.

And the security guard at the elevator,” said Gene Smith, Ohio State’s athletic director and the chairman of the 10-person NCAA Division I selection committee. “We’re sequestered and everybody’s focused on the work.

Wednesday morning, we’ll have a little time to ourselves to study. Then we get started at noon and start talking about teams. Our initial ballots are due that afternoon. We’ll spend the next few days doing the selection and eventually moving on to seeding and the brackets on Inside Sunday.”

• Results from And undoubtMonday’s edly making some tournament coaches, players games, and fans’ dreams Page D3 come true — while making others extremely angry.

Maybe no one will be happier when the meetings are over than Sheila Smith, Gene’s wife.

“She can’t wait,” her husband said with a laugh.

Smith is in his fifth and final year of his cycle on the committee, and his first as chair. He has devoted thousands of hours to watching games — the NCAA provides satellite dishes and premium viewing packages for all the committee members — not to mention this long, stressful week of final meetings and debate. Sheila, a former basketball player and coach, often watches games with her husband.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get old.

Still, it’s not all torture for every family member.

“My kids think it’s one of the coolest things of all time,” said Mike Bobinski, the AD at Xavier and in his third year as a member of the committee. “It’s pretty neat. I would second that.”

There are other perks to a coffee-fueled five days in Indiana. The committee is assigned a person who delivers all their food — almost anything they want.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett holds his head as he is led from the field after being hit by a ball during batting practice prior to the Red Sox’s spring training baseball game against the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers, Fla., last week.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Eight months after suffering a season-ending concussion while breaking up a double play, the Minnesota Twins’ Justin Morneau has yet to play in another baseball game. He is participating in spring training but still has lingering symptoms, like occasional fogginess, and does not yet have medical clearance to return to the lineup.

Just miles away, in the Boston Red Sox’s camp, pitcher Josh Beckett is preparing to pitch Tuesday, a little more than a week after he was accidentally hit in the head with a batted ball during a team practice. He felt symptoms of a concussion the next day, but they subsided quickly, and Beckett was soon making jokes about the experience.

The contrasting experiences of the two players, both of them American League stars, underlines the fact that no two concussions are alike, and that recovery times are dependent on whether a player has a concussion history and on other individual factors.

That contrast is playing out day by day in Fort Myers.

Walking up the dugout steps at Hammond Stadium on a sunny morning last week, Morneau greeted Eunice Ellis, a security guard, and offered a hearty “Good morning.”

Ellis, who has worked at the stadium for five years, smiled back and said: “Good morning. Are you good today?”

For Morneau, that, of course, is a relative question. He takes batting practice and works out with his teammates, but he still feels concussion-like symptoms once or twice a week, just as he did when he reported to camp Feb. 21.

“I’m not quite there yet,” Morneau said. “But it’s getting

Stars snatch win over Kings in overtime The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Brenden Morrow was unsure whether Mike Ribeiro passed the puck to him, or whether he simply stole it from his Dallas teammate.

Morrow’s winning goal after that exchange left absolutely no doubt the Stars are resilient enough to contend with the best of the West.

Morrow scored 38 seconds into overtime, and the Stars rallied from a late deficit for a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night.

The Dallas captain collected what appeared to be a back pass from Ribeiro and eluded three Kings to score his 26th goal of the season for the Stars, who have won five of their past six and haven’t lost in regulation since Feb. 22.

“It showed huge character for us to come out and get that two points,” Morrow said of the Stars’ three rallies from one-goal deficits.

“This group has been good about that all year.

Last year and in years past, it was something we wouldn’t be mentally tough enough to overcome.

But now we just wipe those things away and try to steal the momentum on the next shift.”

Ribeiro had a goal and two assists, and Kari Lehtonen made 20 saves as the Stars put a strong finish on their third California road game in four nights. Trevor Daley and Jamie Benn scored tying goals for Dallas in the third period, with Benn getting a short-handed breakaway goal with 14:40 to play.

With leading scorer Brad Richards sidelined by an apparent concussion, the Stars had lost

NHL ROUNDUP five straight and were on the verge of irrelevancy before their current surge, which has put them right back into a tie for fifth place in the muddled Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles never trailed in regulation, and Dallas twice gave up goals less than a minute after tying the score. None of it stopped the Stars from sticking with it in the final stop of a four-game trip against every other team in the Pacific Division.

“It took a lot of grit,” Dallas coach Marc Crawford said. “It’s funny, because you usually don’t get many opportunities against the Kings because they play solidly defensively. That’s been our secret lately, too. We haven’t given up many opportunities, but there were a few mistakes made tonight on both sides, and when you made the mistakes, they ended up being on the sticks of guys that had something going.”

Willie Mitchell, Justin Williams and Kyle Clifford scored for the Kings, who lost three of four to wrap up a six-game homestand. While the Stars seized an unlikely victory, the Kings felt they gave it away.

“We’re a team that if we’re going to make the playoffs, we’re going to need to lock games like these down,” said Williams, who earned his 400th career point with an assist. “We missed an opportunity to jump ahead of these guys in the standings. On the other side, we’re going to

make sure that that point isn’t going to stop us from making the playoffs. We have a big road trip coming up, so we’re going to have to have a big push.”

Jonathan Bernier made 18 saves and Anze Kopitar had two assists for the Kings, still stuck in eighth place in the West. Up next is a fourgame road trip, their final significant stretch away from Staples Center during the chase for their second straight playoff berth.

“The one-goal lead going into the third gave us a good position over a team in our division,” Los Angeles coach Terry Murray said. “We should be able to shut that game down. We didn’t manage the puck. We made mistakes and turned the puck over. That’s something we need to clean up right away.”

NBA ROUNDUP

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Orlando loses its Magic, Gonzaga wins WCC tournament suffers loss to Blazers The Associated Press

The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic pulled off one of the most amazing feats of the NBA season when it rallied from 24 points down to beat Miami last week.

But Monday night, winning without their biggest star proved to be little too much opposite a team that’s fighting for its playoff life down the stretch.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 24 points, Andre Miller added 15 and the Portland Trail Blazers held on to beat the Magic, who were without the suspended Dwight Howard, 89-85 on Monday night.

Portland won its third straight, and 10th in 13 games. The Blazers also swept the two-game season series with Orlando.

Marcus Camby was held scoreless, but had 10 rebounds to help the Blazers fend off a late rally by the Magic.

Orlando lost its second consecutive game and dropped to 1-2 this season without Howard, who sat out while serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical foul Friday.

“It’s tough because we didn’t know who they were going to start,” said Aldridge, whose team moved within a half-game in the win column of idle Denver for the fifth spot in the Western Conference. “We had to wait for game time to find out. ...They’re better with him, but they’re still good without him. They have a bunch of shooters. ... It wasn’t no easy game at all.”

Jason Richardson led Orlando with 22 points, followed by 13 apiece from Ryan Anderson and Hedo Turkoglu.

The Magic hit 11 of 22 three-pointers on the night, but were done in by 19 turnovers that led to several easy baskets throughout the game.

Richardson’s three tied it at 74-all with 9:34 to play in the game. A three by Anderson two possessions later then gave the Magic their first lead since the opening minutes, 77-76.

The pace quickened from there and, following a pair of ties and lead changes, the Blazers regained the lead 81-79 on a tip-in by Gerald Wallace with 6:26 left.

The Magic kept it within a basket before Portland’s Wesley Matthews drained a three-pointer from the corner to push to 88-83. Orlando then lost a basket by Anderson after an official review during a timeout waved it off because of a shot-clock violation. That made the deficit 88-81 with just 2:47 remaining.

Turkoglu hit another from beyond the arc to cut it 89-85 at the 1:21 mark and Portland turned it over on a shot-clock violation of its own with 56.3 seconds to play.

“We played really hard, gave it our all, but it just didn’t come up at the end,” Richardson said.

LAS VEGAS — Robert Sacre scored 12 points, including a dunk and six late free throws and Gonzaga beat Saint Mary’s 75-63 Monday night to win the West Coast Conference tournament for the second time in three years.

Gonzaga (24-9) received an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament for its 13th straight appearance. Saint Mary’s (24-8) will have to hope for an at-large berth.

Steven Gray led Gonzaga with 15 points and Dower had 10. Sacre had four blocks and eight rebounds.

Mickey McConnell led Saint Mary’s with 24 points and Matthew Dellavedova added 21.

The game was tied at 53 when Gonzaga reserve Sam Dower started an 8-0 run with a pick-and-roll layup. Freshman guard David Stockton, with Hall of Fame father John Stockton in the stands, hit a three-pointer to put Gonzaga ahead 58-53.

Saint Mary’s made it 61-58 on a 3-pointer by Clint Steindl, but Elias Harris countered with a tip-in, and Sacre made two more free throws and a powerful dunk off a pass from Stockton to put it out of reach.

Rob Jones and Mitchell Young

both fouled out with more than five minutes remaining.

The teams split the regularseason series. Saint Mary’s won 73-71 on Jan. 27 and Gonzaga took the rematch 89-85 in overtime on Feb. 24.

This one was just as close despite the final margin.

The teams met in the WCC title game four times previously.

Gonzaga won in 2004, 2005 and 2009, and the Gaels took last year’s title.

Gonzaga won the women’s title earlier Monday with a 72-46 victory over Saint Mary’s.

Selection Continued from D1 “That’s when you hope you don’t gain 10 pounds,” Smith said.

So big has become the NCAA’s Selection Sunday that it’s the modern-day equivalent of electing a pope — the only thing lacking is a puff of smoke from the chimney atop the downtown hotel — when the brackets are finally announced on national television.

By then, Smith, Bobinski and the other members of the committee — the ADs at Utah State, Connecticut, Texas-San Antonio, Cal-Riverside, Southern Methodist and Wake Forest and the commissioners of the Big 12 and Big Sky conferences — have parsed the teams, their schedules and a season of some 5,000 games.

A common misconception is that favoritism is shown to the schools who have representatives on the committee. That is hotly denied by every member.

“If somebody gets ready to say something about Ohio State, I’m kicked out,” Smith joked.

“I’m kicked out to another room and I just pray they come and get me when it’s all said and done.”

The Buckeyes are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, so getting into the field isn’t a question.

Neither is a No. 1 seed. Like the ADs at the other schools, Smith must rescue himself from any deliberation about his team.

Xavier just won the regular-season title in the Atlantic 10 and is a lock to make the tournament.

But Bobinski won’t be around for any of the talk about the Musketeers.

“We all understand the way the process works.

So when someone says, ‘Hey, let’s put Xavier up on the board, I want to talk about them’ — from either a selection or seeding standpoint — I get up and go,” Bobinski said. “And they don’t speak

Concussions Continued from D1 “We’re not going to rush him out there,” Smith said.

Across town, at City of Palms Park, Beckett appears good to go eight days after Ino Guerrero, Boston’s batting practice pitcher, accidentally struck Beckett with a ball after hitting it with a fungo bat.

Unlike Morneau, who discussed his recovery reluctantly and grimly, Beckett spent most of a seven-minute interview last week making jokes and giving Guerrero a hard time.

“I don’t know if I feel lucky, but I’m glad it wasn’t worse than it was,” Beckett said. “But it was just Ino hitting. I mean, if it was Ortiz or Youkilis or a real athlete hitting, I would have been hurt a lot more.” He was referring to power-hitting teammates David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis. Why Beckett was able to return so quickly, while Morneau’s absence continues, illustrates the difficulty of treating concussions and postconcussion syndrome.

Even the Mets’ Jason Bay, who suffered a concussion about two weeks after Morneau did last season and did not play after July 25, is playing again in exhibition games.

Morneau had one other documented concussion, in April 2005, when he missed 10 days after a beaning by Seattle’s Ron Villone. Morneau has told the Twins he also had several head injuries in youth hockey and basketball before signing with Minnesota as a third-round pick in 1999.

St. Peter’s beat Iona to secure the school’s first NCAA tournament berth in 16 years and win the MAAC championship.

Old Dominion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 Virginia Commonwealth . . . . 65 RICHMOND, Va. — Frank Hassell scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Old Dominion withstood a furious second-half rally by Virginia Commonwealth and defended its Colonial Athletic Association tournament title.

Wofford. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 77 College of Charleston . . . . . . 67 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.

— Cameron Rundles scored 21 points, sending Wofford to a second straight NCAA tournament berth with a victory over College of Charleston in the Southern Conference tournament championship.

Ark.-Little Rock . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 Middle Tennessee. . . . . . . . . . 56 HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — Solomon Bozeman scored 23 points and Arkansas-Little Rock advanced to the Sun Belt tournament championship game with a win over Middle Tennessee.

about it until I’m gone.”

There are discussions about teams, games, travel, injuries — almost everything is put on the conference-room table. The group votes, re-votes, then votes several more times. Every fine point is analyzed.

“We don’t just sit there and look at a bunch of numbers and then say, ‘OK, by the numbers, this is the best team in America,’ ” Bobinski said.

“There is obviously more to it than that. We all watch a lot of games, we all have our own way of analyzing teams, looking at teams and bringing some qualitative steps to the conversation.

If it was just a numbers exercise, they wouldn’t need a committee. You’d just spit it out with a computer.”

Of course, there are always surprises. Three years ago, a horrific tornado ripped through Atlanta, slamming into the Georgia Dome during the Southeastern Conference tournament. Overlooked Georgia, just 13-16 coming in, reeled off four wins in three days to win the title and the automatic NCAA berth that comes with most conference tournament titles.

The committee has contingency plans to cover almost any occurrence, including teams grabbing an automatic spot on the bracket with a losing record.

By late Sunday, all the conference tournaments will be over. All that remains is the much anticipated announcement of the brackets. Then the second-guessing begins.

For the 10 people who cast the deciding votes on the teams, a weight has been lifted.

“We understand when we get (to the hotel) that millions of eyeballs and opinions will be offered up about what we’re ultimately going to produce here on Sunday,” Bobinski said. “There’s no question that we get that and it kind of hangs over the room all week long.”

He added, “I would have to tell you when we’re done, it’s good to be done.”

As for Beckett, this is believed to be his second concussion. The first happened in high school, he said, a result of a fistfight. This time, Beckett said he felt fine until going out to lunch the next day, when he said he began shaking and felt sleepy.

Beckett’s symptoms subsided after a good night’s sleep.

“I’ve been fine since that lunch deal,” he said.

Beckett passed balance and cognitive assessment tests administered by the club’s medical staff before manager Terry Francona allowed him to throw a simulated game Friday, four days after the beaning.

“We wanted to make sure he passed every test before we let him do anything,” Francona said. “They’ve made so many advances medically that they didn’t have 20 years ago, we’d be kind of crazy not to.”

Someone who incurs another brain injury while experiencing symptoms of an initial one is at higher risk of a protracted recovery, said Dr. Robert Cantu, co-director of Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy and a leading specialist in the area of sports-related concussions.

That is why athletes must be symptom free before returning to play. Morneau tried taking batting practice in August and again in October before backing off.

“If there wasn’t anything, I’d be playing already,” Morneau said. “There is still some stuff that pops up every once in a while, but it’s not as often now.

I take a nap, and usually when I wake up, everything’s good. I’ve had more good days than bad

days. It’s really encouraging.”

Last week, Morneau left camp for what he termed a routine checkup with a specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s sports concussion program. Smith said Morneau had done nothing to worsen his symptoms or set back his recovery.

“We followed the protocol established by the doctors to the letter,” Smith said.

Though Smith remains hopeful that Morneau will be ready by opening day, Morneau said the club never pressured him to return.

“They’ve said all the right things and done all the right things: ‘We want him back as a human being first of all, and leading a normal life, and baseball is secondary,’ ” Morneau said. “That’s helped an awful lot. They haven’t said, he’s got to be ready by opening day, or anything like that. Whenever it’s ready, it’s ready. That’s helped a lot.

“One of the biggest things that can hinder getting over a concussion is stress and pressure and all that type stuff. They’ve been great with that, and that’s helped me recover.”

For now, Morneau pushes himself. He arrives at the Twins’ complex at 6:30 a.m., earlier than almost everyone except catcher Joe Mauer, who pulls in at 6. Morneau works out in the weight room before hitting in the indoor batting cage. Then it is on to the field for stretching, batting practice and fielding ground balls.

And Morneau is easy to spot; he is the only Twin wearing a batting helmet in the cage.

Continued from D1 At that recent Tuesday practice, held at Highland Baptist Church in west Redmond, about 20 team members turned out in preparation for the Mountain Lions’ upcoming Winter Regional Indoor Games basketball tournament, which will be held this Saturday in Turner, just south of Salem. A second basketball team from Central Oregon, one based in Bend, is also scheduled to participate.

During practice, the Redmond Special Olympians worked on their skills just as any other players would, dribbling basketballs off the church gym’s carpeted floor, performing drills and scrimmaging against one another — and against the coaches on hand, who also included the father and sister of one of the Mountain Lion players. (Being a smokejumper is not a requirement to coach.)

At Saturday’s tournament, players will be divided into smaller teams based on ability level and understanding of the game. They will take part in fullcourt five-on-five games, halfcourt three-on-three games or individual skills competitions.

Mason began working with disabled populations while attending Oregon State University.

When he started coaching in the Redmond program the team had dwindled to just five players. But now, about 30 Special Olympians from Redmond, Prineville and Powell Butte fill out the Mountain Lions’ roster.

Becoming involved created an immediate impression. One of Mason’s favorite memories took place at a tournament during his first year of coaching in Redmond, with an athlete who no longer plays for the Mountain Lions. “This guy loved basketball so much that he once showed up with his shoes on the wrong feet, and he didn’t even slow down to take them off,� Mason recalled. “He loved basketball.�

That Special Olympian also tended to be a bit of a ball hog, as Mason put it. In one game at the tournament, at both the end of regulation play and the end of the first overtime, the player would not give up the ball and took two ill-regarded shots that missed.

During a timeout at the end

Coach Gabe Mason, a smokejumper by profession, gets the team lined up for a drill during practice for the Special Olympics Redmond basketball team at Highland Baptist Church last week. of the second overtime, Mason looked directly at the player and instructed him to pass the ball.

So, the player proceeded to hoist another shot. “It was so beautiful,� Mason said. “It went around the rim several times and went in. And the crowd was — it was like the Celtics won. It was so electric, and I remember it so clearly. We talked about it for years. But that’s what sold me on basketball.�

Mason believes the team’s numbers have continued to increase since that year thanks to consistency in the coaching staff and a group of guardians who network well and agree with the coaches’ philosophy. “If we can have fun and if we’re burning calories — that’s the two things that we shoot for,�

Mason explained.

A few seasons ago, as the team grew in size, Mason looked for additional coaches to keep pace.

He recruited a neighbor, Marcel Potvin, whom he knew from working together at one point on a local “Hotshots� crew — a team of firefighters that attacks wildland fires from the ground level. Mason said Potvin was instrumental in persuading some of his smokejumper co-workers at the Redmond base to volunteer, which they are still doing today.

One of the smokejumpers Potvin recruited, Geoff Schultz, 33, is in his first season coaching with the Mountain Lions. He said he plans to travel with the team to Saturday’s tournament. “It sounded like they were needing some coaches, and I was around for the winter,� Schultz

explained of his reasoning to start coaching. “Why not?�

The experience has proved to be an enjoyable one. “It’s been good,� Schultz said. “It’s really rewarding. All the athletes are great people to be around. I really enjoy participating.�

Cruz Brigham, 18, is one of the players who has benefited from the coaches’ influence.

The Redmond resident is in his second year with the Mountain Lions. Brigham, who went to Redmond High School and now attends Central Oregon Community College, had prior basketball experience but, he said, he did not shoot the ball well when he joined the team.

The coaches worked with him individually to improve his shooting, and also instructed him in ballhandling and defense. “Those guys really showed me how to play, and play like a team,� Brigham said.

And on Saturday, Brigham and his Mountain Lion teammates will get the chance to implement in competition what they have learned from those coaches. “We all want to play hard and just have fun,� Brigham explained. “That’s what basketball is all about. It’s not about winning — well, it kind of is — it’s not really about winning. It’s about, win or lose, just go out there, have fun, work as a team, meet new people. “That’s what basketball’s all about.�

SPOTLIGHT Amnesty, peace groups will hold fundraiser

Aspen Hadley, 10, and her Big Sister, Christine Brousseau, 36, share a laugh while enjoying milkshakes at Pilot Butte Drive-In in Bend. Brousseau is the state’s 2011 nominee for the annual Big Sister of the Year award. The winner will be announced in April.

By David Jasper The Bulletin

O Christine Brousseau and Aspen Hadley look over a journal they have periodically filled out since Brousseau became Big Sister to Hadley four years ago.

ver the four years they’ve known each other, Christine Brousseau and Aspen Hadley have forged a tradition.

French fries and milkshakes on their birthdays.

While the two aren’t biologically related, they consider themselves sisters nonetheless. Brousseau volunteers as a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon; she has been matched with Aspen for four years.

On Thursday afternoon, the two shared a booth at Pilot Butte DriveIn in Bend, where they celebrated Brousseau’s 36th birthday.

The two may want to save room for another special occasion: Brous-

seau was recently named the state nominee in the national Big Sister of the Year competition.

The winner, to be announced in early April, will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters’ national conference June 14-16 in Dallas, says Melanie Price, match support specialist for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon.

There are four Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in Oregon, including BBBS of Central Oregon, which works with 190 pairs of “Littles” and “Bigs” in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. From among its 190 Bigs, the agency selected three Big Sisters and three Big Brothers to compete alongside nominees from other state BBBS agencies, and Brousseau’s name came out on top as Oregon’s nominee in the national Big Sister of the Year competition.

The challenge of interpreting pop concerts for the deaf

By Monica Hesse The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The first question that interpreters get asked is, “But why would a deaf person go to a concert?” They think it’s a silly question, but everyone asks it.

Going to a concert is partly about hearing the songs. It is equally about the costumes, the spectacle, the pulsing, the convulsing — the sticky, claustrophobic mass of humanity. When you consider this, it makes perfect sense that deaf people go to concerts.

But someone still needs to interpret the words.

In the upstairs computer room of her house in Riverdale, Md., Traci Ison ponders the metaphorical question that freaky teens and worried parents have been asking for two years, but this

time in a very literal way. How do you interpret Lady Gaga?

Here is the lyric: “Come on now, this beat is sick/ I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.”

If the sentence is translated word-for-word from English to its corresponding signs, the resulting phrase could come across as something like, “I want to ride on the twig of John Travolta’s dance moves.”

Lady Gaga’s “Love Game” is metaphorical, but exactly how metaphorical is it? Is the tone callous? Flirty? Dirty?

There is the added complication that Lady Gaga sometimes makes her own gesture when she performs “Love Game,” and as it happens, that gesture does have a sign language translation.

See Signers / E6

Traci Randolph works on interpreting Bon Jovi songs at her home in Germantown, Md. “I’m qualified to interpret Bon Jovi,” said Randolph, who has been a fan of the group for two decades. “I wouldn’t be qualified for Linkin Park.”

Rough play causes painful injury to loving family pet Dear Abby: My 9-year-old son’s friend “Isaac” was over for a visit. He was captivated by our Labrador retriever, “Layla,” who is very loving. Isaac doesn’t have a dog, so he wanted to play with Layla. At one point, I overheard him say to my son, “Look, I’m riding your dog!” I immediately intervened, but I was too late.

A day or so later, Layla was unable to descend our stairway and was clearly in pain. She has been on pain medication for three weeks and is growing progressively worse. The next step is to get X-rays and/or an MRI to see if she has a spinal injury, and then determine her treatment. It’s possible the damage is irreversible.

My wife and I are extremely upset about this, but we’re afraid to tell our son or Isaac and his parents for fear it will place undue guilt on a 9-year-old boy. On the flip side, I wouldn’t want him to do this to anyone else’s beloved pet. How do you recommend we proceed?

— Heartbroken in New York Dear Heartbroken: Children are not mind-readers. If you don’t tell them when they make a mistake, they won’t realize they have made one. Contact Isaac’s parents and explain what happened.

If your dog needs treatment, they should be responsible for whatever damage their son did.

Dear Abby: The other day I was with a friend who is a bit overweight. We were trying on clothes in one of the stores. She grabbed a shirt she was sure she could fit into, but when she tried it on, it ripped. She had to pay for it.

On the ride home my friend asked me, “Am I fat?” I was at a loss, so I told her no. What should I have done? I feel horrible for lying, but I didn’t know what else to do.

— Lost for Words Dear Lost for Words: You could have replied, “What size was the shirt?” And when she answered, you should have said, “I guess you’re a size or two larger.” It would have been more tactful

DEAR ABBY than saying she was fat, and gotten the point across.

Dear Abby: My wife and I recently attended the funeral of a friend’s father. During the sermon I noticed tears in our friend’s eyes and offered her my handkerchief. On the way home, this sparked a conversation about the obligation of a person who receives a handkerchief. Should it be returned after the event, or should it first be laundered? Or is it considered a gift, not to be returned at all?

Later that evening at a movie, I noticed a woman hand someone her handkerchief saying, “It’s monogrammed. It was my mother’s.” No mention was made of a request that it be returned. I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind letting go of a standard handkerchief, but one with sentimental value would be different, wouldn’t it? What do you suggest?

— Real Men Carry Handkerchiefs Dear Real Man: You were chivalrous to offer your handkerchief to the grieving daughter. Had it merely been used to dab away a tear, it could have been returned to you at the end of the service. If, however, there was makeup on it — or the dab was followed by a swipe of her nose — the woman should have held onto it, laundered it and returned it to you in the presumably pristine condition it was in when you gave it to her.

As to the monogrammed (heirloom) hanky you saw lent in the theater, when the woman explained its significance to her friend, that was the tip-off that she expected it to be returned.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Foster shares source of passion

Relive historic Billy Joel concert

By Rick Bentley McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — David Foster’s returns to public television with a sequel to his popular special “David Foster & Friends.”

In “Great Performances: Hitman Returns: David Foster & Friends,” the producer, singer and songwriter was joined by Chaka Khan, All-4One, Michael Bolton, Natalie Cole, Kenny Loggins, Martina McBride, Ne-Yo, Seal, Donna Summer and Earth, Wind and Fire at a concert filmed in Las Vegas.

The 15-time Grammy winner talks about his long musical career:

Q:

You’ve been in the music business for 40 years. Do you still have the same passion for writing and performing?

Every single day that I wake up, I try to do my very best. I give 100 percent and absolutely 100 percent love what I do every single day. I can’t wait to get into the studio tomorrow. I’m working with that little 10-year-old Jackie Evancho. We’re making a record. I’m obsessed with what I do, and I just love it.

A:

Q: A:

What attracted you to the piano?

The great thing about the piano is it’s the whole orchestra at your fingertips. It’s the only instrument that provides the range of the entire orchestra, and maybe that’s what turned me on. My father taught me. He was an amateur piano player, but he was quite good.

Q: A:

What’s your biggest talent as a music producer?

I think I can identify great singers. People have said about me that I have a Midas touch, and I think I

By Glenn Gamboa Newsday

Reason to watch: A chance to relive the historic “Last Play at Shea” concerts on July 16 and 18, 2008 — the final concerts at the stadium before it was torn down.

What’s in it: These are the performances that also formed the center of the documentary “Last Play at Shea,” only they are shown in their entirety instead of the edited versions that appeared in the film. While the documentary includes the deep tracks that Joel used for his career-spanning set list, the “Great Performances” set is almost all hits and includes special guests: the great Tony Bennett on “New York State of Mind,” Garth Brooks on “Shameless” and, of course, Paul McCartney.

Don’t miss: When McCartney sits down at Joel’s piano to sing “Let It Be” as the final song ever at Shea Stadium, it’s a rare moment of closure in music history.

McCartney and The Beatles ushered in the era of stadium rock when they played Shea in 1965 and proved to the world that rock ’n’ roll was neither a niche nor a fad. Joel’s decision to let McCartney close Shea Stadium, which, according to the documentary, happened on the fly backstage, will go down as one of rock’s most selfless acts.

You’ve worked with everyone from Barbra Streisand to Michael Jackson. Anyone still on your musical wish list?

Stevie Wonder has always been on my list, and I’ve said it probably in 100 interviews.

Strangely enough, on Christmas Day he called me. I pressed him again. I want to get the London Philharmonic Orchestra and I want to take his 12 greatest songs and just do them the way they were intended to be done, just with the London very unplugged. So that might happen.

Q: A:

Does being happy or sad affect how you write love songs?

When I sit at the piano, I immerse myself. I’m not feeling any pain in my life right now. I’m very, very happy, but if you describe to me some kind of setting in a movie of some horrible thing that’s just happened with a young child or an older person that just died, I would just sink myself into the piano and I

Q: A:

If you could give advice to your younger self, what would it be?

I would probably tell him, “Don’t do anything different.” Because every little thing that happens to you, good and bad, becomes a little piece of the puzzle of who you become.

SXSW 2011

More events and venues, — even more Interactive

By Patrick Beach Cox Newspapers

AUSTIN, Texas — After the South by Southwest festivals in 2010, and probably after a nap, managing director Roland Swenson sent his staffers a customary survey to suss out what they needed to do a better job next time.

The overwhelming answer was, essentially, “Get us out of here.”

Over almost a quarter-century, the wee regional music festival had snowballed into the Thing That Ate March, spawning companion film and interactive festivals and becoming a 10-day cultural event for which Austin is known around the world.

During that period, its offices had spread from two buildings on 40th Street just east of Interstate 35 to four other rented properties. The decentralized structure meant people didn’t talk to one another or even know one another.

So Swenson went office-shopping and, in December, moved his staff of about 95 into the former offices of architectural firm Graeber Simmons & Cowan at 400 Bowie St., just down the street from the Tiniest Bar in Texas and near where the old Electric Lounge once stood.

“It’s a real office building,” Swenson said. “There’s no getting around it.”

Swenson said he’s noticed a smoother operation already, which is important for an eversprawling festival whose economic impact on the city last year was $113 million, up from $98.9 million in 2009, according to an executive summary by Greyhill Partners.

The big draw Festival executives put total attendance at more than 175,000, including 36,700 conference registrants, 13,000 music wristband holders (primarily local people), and free public events at Auditorium Shores, the Flatstock poster show and the Austin Record Convention.

The move to a centralized headquarters is just one of the changes for the people who, along with 2,000 volunteers, make it all happen.

The big story remains Interactive. Last year, SXSW Interactive’s paid registration eclipsed SXSW Music for the first time.

The official count was 14,251, including gold (good for Film and Interactive) and platinum (all three conferences) badge holders.

That growth, which could be repeated in 2011, was in the 30 to 40 percent range. Early registration numbers in December and January led to serious discussions about capping registration, but then it eased up on its own, mostly because of a lack of available hotel rooms (for the first time, SXSW’s lodging staff has booked 50,000 hotel room nights).

“We’ve talked a lot” about setting a cutoff, Interactive Festival director Hugh Forrest said.

“There are a lot of pros and cons to the idea of capping it. Had we continued to see the amount of growth in February we were see-

ing in December and January, we probably would have taken some steps in that direction.”

The festival might decide to cap attendance next year if growth becomes unmanageable.

Raising walk-up registration to $750 (from $550 last year) probably won’t have much effect on curbing growth, Forrest said.

What attracts so many people to Interactive? The explosion of social media services such as Twitter and Facebook, the suddenly-it-exists multibillion-dollar market for mobile app developers and the increasing interest in digital living (cue your smart phone’s ringtone) dovetail nicely with what the fest has always been about.

But the same people who embrace the digital takeover of America still worry that Interactive is becoming too mainstream — and too big.

The festival was taken to task by tech blogger Robert Scoble in December. Scoble complained that when a fest grows to the proportions of SXSW Interactive, it loses its intimate vibe.

Forrest said that this year’s plethora of meet-ups (about 65 to 70 daytime events) and increase in campuses (10 this year) are meant to make the fest feel more targeted and to help attendees find their peers. Ten shuttle buses will be employed to locations including the AT&T Conference Center and the Hyatt to manage Interactive’s sprawl.

Another big change is that keynotes will be live-streamed, not just to satellite campuses, but to the general public. It will be part of a block of sxsw.com live video that will run from 12:30 to 3 p.m. during the fest.

“We’re traditionally very protective of our content in that regard, but we’ve come to realize that this is something that attendees or virtual attendees expect, and live streaming probably doesn’t weaken attendance to the event,” Forrest said. “In fact, it generates more buzz for future years.”

Those who can’t get enough of Interactive can attend the new SXSW Technology Summit, which will take place as soon as Interactive ends: March 16-17, on the sixth floor of the Hilton downtown. The summit is open to all badge holders.

Change and crowd control are not limited to Interactive.

On the film side, organizers have expanded screening venues to include the State Theatre on Congress Avenue and the Rollins Theatre at the Long Center after issues related to crowding last year.

The festival is also increasing the number of seats at Austin Convention Center screenings to 650.

SXSW Film producer Janet Pierson said the festival plans to screen some selections at two satellite theaters, the Regal Arbor in North Austin and Regal Westgate in South Austin. Those screenings will highlight what’s being shown downtown and make SXSW accessible for people who don’t want to deal with downtown, she said.

So whether you’re eager for it, braced for it or leaving town to get away from it, here comes SXSW 2011.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, March 8, 2011: Your words often create illusions for others. The ability to inspire people is a double-edged sword.

You also could discover that your communication style creates confusion for some. You cannot confirm plans enough. At times, you might want to check what you think you are hearing. If you are single, often a rosy-colored haze surrounds your relationships. Make sure that at some point you break through and see reality. Wearing rose-colored glasses might be fun, but ultimately destructive. If you are attached, the two of you could finally react and meet a long-term aspiration.

TAURUS zeros in on what you want.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Reach out for others. Their feedback could be instrumental.

Financial stability could be the end result if you think things through. If your inner voice makes a suggestion, verify and question.

Take a walk if you’re feeling unsure or confused. Tonight: Pay bills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Knowing that you have the energy to meet the demands, you get ahead of a situation. Use your imagination when focusing in a meeting. What comes up could be a little humorous, and you might decide you don’t want to share.

Tonight: Zero in on everything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Touch base with your

sixth sense more often than usual, especially if you’re dealing with authority figures.

You might be surprised by what happens if you hit the right note.

Visualize great success. Tonight: Up until the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Zero in on what you want.

You’ll gain greater insight into what is happening in your immediate circle by listening to what isn’t being said. Feel free to find an expert or to explore different ideas.

Another person’s insight could be enlightening. Tonight: Join a friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Stay on top of your responsibilities. In order to get someone else involved, you need to relate on a one-on-one level. Also, create a greater sense of direction through conversations. Be clear when dealing with someone in charge or someone you have to deal with.

Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Visualize and share more with someone you often brainstorm with. How you handle this matter and the choices you make could be quite dynamic after this conversation. Be willing to take a leap intellectually and a risk emotionally. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Focus on each task at hand. You might need to check in with another person for feedback or direction. Your perspective changes radically with a conversation. How you relate on a one-on-one level could determine the success or failure of a situation. Tonight: A discussion gets to the bottom of the matter.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others rise to the occasion, and you might need to back off.

Others also need the chance to strut their stuff. Do write down what you are thinking. Soon enough, others will be asking for your feedback and ideas. Tonight: Make merry.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter that involves your day-to-day life. One person might be more involved than others.

How you handle the matter, the trust you exhibit and your decisions all allow for greater give-andtake. Tonight: Put your feet up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your ability to move back and forth on a problem allows for the flex you need. Count on the fact that someone cares much more than you realize. Discussions help demonstrate this person’s support and resourcefulness. Tonight: Where you enjoy yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Investigate an option when it appears. Give extra attention to a home-security matter. You might want to question the alternatives before you make a decision. Discussions might illuminate cost-effective alternatives. Tonight: Happy at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your ability to say “no” to someone could determine how your long-term relationship flows. If you become too high-voltage and lose your confidence, the long-term damages might be greater than anticipated. Tonight: Living it up! © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Signers

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Christine Brousseau and Aspen Hadley look over the journal they’ve kept for four years. They had a laugh over a 2008 entry

by Aspen, clearly showing the improvement she has made in her handwriting skills. “There is something so important about handwriting,” Brousseau said.

Sisters Continued from E1 Aspen, 10, says that when she learned Brousseau had gotten the nomination, “I was so happy.

I was like, ‘Yay!’ ” Says Price, who wrote Brousseau’s official nomination letter for the competition, “She’s all about kids and all about community. It’s just really in her heart.”

Brousseau and her husband, John, moved to Bend from Portland in 2006. At the time, she was an events coordinator and recruitment specialist with BBBS of Central Oregon. Her job included processing applications for Big Brothers and Big Sisters; three months after she arrived, she found her match in Aspen.

“She was the age that I wanted, because I wanted to work with a 6-year-old, or at least a younger age, so that I would have all that time to grow with (her),” says Brousseau, who brightens visibly when she talks about Aspen.

“She’s the kindest soul I’ve met. Every fiber of her being is so positive and happy and kind.

I learn more from her, I think, than she’s supposed to be learning from me.”

Aspen, like Brousseau, suffers from severe asthma.

“I felt like there was a connection there that I could help with, because I’ve learned to cope and deal and manage with my asthma, so it was something I wanted to share. I just felt connected to her before I even met her,” Brousseau says. Aspen “knows life can be tough, but she’s a fighter. She doesn’t let it get her down.”

Regardless of whether Brousseau wins the national Big Sister of the Year award, it’s clear Aspen has already deemed her the winner. She recalls being 6 and meeting her Big Sister for the first time.

“I got all dressed up and my mom put my hair in pigtails and I had elephant ears! At first I was shy and I was avoiding Christine, like, ‘Who is this scary person?’ By the end I was already in her lap, hugging her and not letting go.”

Over the past four years, Brousseau and Aspen have spent six to 12 hours a month together, standard for the BBBS program.

They share meals, try new activities such as ice skating, take in the theater, hit thrift stores and just plain giggle a lot.

Aspen now calls Brousseau “Sissy.” Says Brousseau, “We tell people we’re sisters, and then there’s a bunch of people who really think we are sisters.

And then sometimes something will come up, like, ‘Well, how are you older than her mom?’ We’re not blood sisters, but we’re sisters. We’re family.

There’s just that bond and connection.” She adds with a laugh, “It’s fun making people wonder and question, with the age difference.”

Brousseau left Big Brothers

Big Sisters in 2008 to become executive director of Camp Fire USA Central Oregon, a nonprofit youth-development organization. Three years ago, she started a Camp Fire Club at Ensworth Elementary School, where Aspen is in fourth grade.

“I have a full-time job, and my job isn’t just a 9-to-5. I wear many hats here,” Brousseau says of her Camp Fire work. “It carries over into my weekends and evenings. I’m busy, and I have a home life as well. But there’s always time to be a friend, or a mentor, whether in a group situation or in a one-on-one situation like BBBS.” Through the years, she and Aspen have continued to bond, seeing each other at least once a week at weekly meetings for Camp Fire. At last week’s Camp Fire meeting, Brousseau reminded Aspen of the plan to meet a reporter at Pilot Butte Drive-In over fries and shakes.

“Her friend Coral said, ‘You guys are the luckiest people in the world. I have got to get myself a Big Sister already,’ Brousseau says, giving a pitch-perfect imitation of a tween. “ ‘Gosh, I need a Big Sister!’ ” As a single mom, Michelle Smith, 31, knows the need to have positive role models in the lives of her daughter, Aspen, and son, John, 13.

Smith says she lost her small cleaning business three and a half years ago, after becoming ill with fibromyalgia and enteropathy, an intestinal pathology.

“I’ve had to have three major surgeries, so I’m not able to get out and about as much as I used to, as far as camping, hiking. I’m so thankful that their Bigs are able to help out with that, because my kids would really miss it,” Smith says.

Son John had a Big Brother from the age of 8, and Aspen began clamoring for a Big of her own at age 5, but the youngest one can begin the program is at age 6.

If she were healthier, she’d be a Big Sister herself, Smith says. She “absolutely” believes Brousseau deserves to win Big Sister of the Year, knowing firsthand the role Brousseau has played in Aspen’s life.

“They’re soul sisters,” she says. “You see them together, and they’re sisters. Even spending an hour at Goodwill together, just looking at junk stuff together, is precious time to my daughter.

“I figure the more people that are in my children’s life to support them and to love them, the better. You know, why not?”

Continued from E1 “Lady Gaga’s gesture means masturbation,” Ison says matter-of-factly.

Ison has blonde hair, big eyes, a wide smile. She is a CODA — a Child of a Deaf Adult — and she is the interpreter who has been assigned to work Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour at Verizon Center.

She has asked her interpreter friends how they would handle what shall now be referred to as the Disco Stick Problem. “One suggested I do this,” Ison said — mimicking an aggressive hip thrust. But that solution seemed more vulgar than the playful lyrics implied.

All of this would be easier if she knew more about her audience — how well they spoke American Sign Language, how well they spoke Gaga — but interpreters at performing arts gigs rarely know their audiences until they arrive at the show.

Ison rewinds the song on her iPod and listens again.

Over in Germantown, Md., Jon Bon Jovi is presenting similar problems for Traci Randolph. “ ‘The pictures in the shadows,’ ” she said. “Do you think that’s literal?”

She is sitting at her dining room table, Skyping with her interpreting partner, Liz Leitch, who lives in Richmond, Va. Leitch will drive up to Washington for the Bon Jovi show a few days later. In front of Randolph: a pile of printouts containing the lyrics for everything the singer has been performing on his latest tour. After each stop, Randolph Googles his latest set list to see what he’s switched up. For weeks, she has been breathing Bon Jovi. When she is not working her day job, she is Livin’ on a Prayer. These puns invade her e-mails. She can’t help it.

“So,” Randolph said, “ ‘There’s only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you.’ Is that literal? Am I literally picturing someone in a den?” surrounded by portraits?

“They could be memories,” Leitch said.

Randolph experimentally tries out signs for “memories.”

Would these be good memories?

Bad ones? The song is, after all, called “Runaway.”

“Sometimes I’ll do words on the mouth,” said Randolph, to provide the literal translation, but the signs paired with it will be more conceptual.

She is a fan of Bon Jovi. Has been listening to him for 20 years. The job of an interpreter, however, requires a whole other level of attention to detail — an intricate dissection of every single word, with the knowledge that the interpreter’s understandings of the song are going to inform or define other people’s understandings of the song.

In late 2009, Randolph and Leitch, along with business partner Kevin Dyels, founded First Chair Interpreted Productions, an agency that focuses solely on interpreting for concerts and performing arts. They do about 50 events a year, including all the work for Verizon Center. First Chair booked Ison and another interpreter, Danielle Hunt, for the Gaga concert.

When it comes to concerts, Dyels says, the company looks for interpreters who have credentials but are devoted fans, too.

“I’m qualified to interpret Bon Jovi,” Randolph said. “I wouldn’t be qualified for Linkin Park.”

An imprecise art “David Bowie, Led Zeppelin ...” Suzy Rosen Singleton, waiting for the Lady Gaga show, is rattling off her favorite concerts.

“Madonna,” added her friend, Charmaine Hlibok. “AC/DC.” Rosen Singleton and Hlibok, who are deaf, communicate by signing or reading lips.

Before the Americans With Disabilities Act in 1992 began requiring performing arts venues to provide interpreters on request, “I would make up my own words,” said Rosen Singleton, who works as Gallaudet University’s ombudsman. Interpreters, she says, “are now critical to my enjoyment.”

But not every interpreter is cut out for concert work. It’s exhausting, both mentally and physically, which is why interpreters are usually assigned to events in pairs.

It’s taxing to provide meaning, convey emotion, and keep the beat at the same time.

Also, Hlibok said, “they have to be invisible to us.”

This is a paradoxical requirement. What she means is the interpreter has to tread the fine line between acting as a conduit for the song and mistakenly believing they are the entertainment. The less successful ones, she said, “think they’re the character. They get carried away.”

What most non-signers don’t realize is that sign language is

A rise in registry of interpreters for the deaf

Tracy A. Woodward / The Washington Post

Danielle Hunt, left, and Traci Ison, sign language interpreters for the Lady Gaga concert last month in Washington, practice before the show outside the Verizon Center. not an exact science, a one-plusone-equals. The same sentence, given to three different interpreters, might result in three different interpretations.

What most non-signers further don’t realize is that “sign language” is an imprecise descriptor, and whatever any one interpreter is doing at any given moment might be a blend of multiple approaches.

American Sign Language is, as it sounds, its own language, with its own grammatical structure and particular nuances. Its roots are actually not in English, but in French; the language originated when Thomas Gallaudet traveled to Europe in 1815 seeking methods for teaching deaf children.

Signed English is, as it sounds, a more literal translation of spoken English, mimicking word order and grammar.

Some people think ASL works better for songs. It’s faster, more expressive. It conveys emotions and tonal inflections that wouldn’t be readily apparent to a non-hearing audience member.

When Lady Gaga goes “Rah rah rah ah ah, ro ma, ro ma ma,” a proponent of ASL might decide that the important thing to convey would be the raw, flirtatious tone rather than the literal words, which, after all, make no sense.

A strict follower of Signed English, on the other hand, might decide to spell out every R, O, M and A, deciding that Lady Gaga should be equal-opportunity nonsensical.

The line is between being visible and invisible, but it’s also about figuring what it truly means to interpret something.

It’s about human perception and human fallibility, about the difference between aiding someone and patronizing them.

“For my very first show, I spent weeks creating this perfect, beautiful ASL interpretation,” said Hunt, who, as one of Gallaudet’s few hearing students, is pursuing her Ph.D. in interpreting. “Then I got there and the client said, ‘I really just want to know the words.’ ” She paused. “It totally changed my approach.”

This is what Ison has decided it looks like, to take a ride on a disco stick: It looks like a left index finger rising slightly toward the sky, and right index and middle fingers coming down to curve around it and jounce up and down.

It’s a sign that can’t be translated into English, but if you watch her do it, you get the gist that whatever she is doing with her hands is a wee bit naughty.

She has decided to mouth Lady Gaga’s words along with the signs, allowing deaf fans to follow along in more than one way.

A few days after the concert, Ison shares a link to a video she made of herself at the concert to help her review her own performance.

“Love Game” is a fast-paced song, with lyrics spoken in a relentless monotone, leaving little room to catch breath or pause fingers. When Ison signs it, her hands flutter in front of her face and chest, the song ending with a triumphant “Game!”

Then, off-screen on the stage, Gaga produces a giant phallic torch.

“I don’t know if you heard,” she purred, “but I have a pretty

WASHINGTON — Washington is kind of like a “mecca” for the deaf population, Janet Bailey says.

“Because once they come to Gallaudet from Kansas, they’re probably not going back to Kansas.”

Gallaudet University was the world’s first school for the advanced education of the deaf and hard of hearing, and is still the only college in which all programs and services are designed to accommodate the deaf. Bailey is the former president of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, an Alexandria, Va.-based professional organization, and she now works as the group’s government affairs representative. She also, back in 1982, founded the first interpreting agency and began approaching theaters about interpreting their shows.

Now, RID’s data say that there are about 120 interpreters in Washington.

It doesn’t sound like a lot, but, when you compare it with the general population, it’s proportionally more than double New York state’s or California’s.

Last year, more than 1,100 would-be interpreters registered for their knowledge-based certification exams nationwide, up from about 650 in 2006.

Soup for supper — what could be more super?

HOME

Tired sofa?

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

The perfect meal on a cold evening might just be a bowl of delicious, homemade soup.

That’s Marla Jo Hardy’s definition of a super supper.

“We like soup because we can put everything in it; you can have a complete meal with veggies and protein. It’s just a big bowl of comfort and satisfaction,” she said.

Hardy, 58, is a longtime Bend resident and a certified personal trainer at Living Fitness who specializes in strength training. Her husband, Jason, also is a personal trainer.

They make soup together about three times a month, freezing some, and also recommend soup to their fitness clients who seek advice about healthy food ideas.

“We tell them the big thing is to be prepared. Have your food ready, or, we’re all human, we’ll be heading out for pizza for dinner. Soup is so satisfying, especially when it’s a day old; all those flavors meld. It’s so nice, coming home to soup. We just pop it in the microwave,” Hardy said.

One of her favorite soups is Chicken Pot Pie Chowder (see recipe, Page F2). She created it after being inspired by a soup her mother makes with potatoes and cream. Hardy wanted a healthier, lower-carb version.

Growing trends in the garden world

By Liz Douville For The Bulletin

Last year, according to the Garden Writers Association’s Garden Trends Research Report, half of those surveyed by the association said they have gardens in their backyards, while more than one-quarter have gardens in their front yards.

The yearly research project conducted by Susan McCoy, president of Garden Media Group, reinforces the fact that gardeners are forging ahead. In 2010, vegetable gardening was up by 20 percent and community gardens were up 60 percent over 2009 numbers.

I find the 60 percent increase in community gardens interesting.

Is the increase due to community gardens being used as a social connection to the neighborhood?

Families staying closer to home during the summer may look to the garden as an opportunity to share and learn. Is the reason as simple as the need to economize?

lipcovers are versatile and kind of magical. They can transform the look of an old sofa or chair, protect new furniture from kids and pets, or unify the look of a room.

Slipcovers can also be an economical alternative to buying new furniture.

cialist Jacquie Sebulsky said the slipcovered look — fitted covers for furniture — never goes out of style.

“Slipcovers were really trendy 10 years ago, and then design went to a cleaner, sleeker, more modern look and didn’t incorporate slipcovers so much, but I think slipcovers are really classic,” Sebulsky said.

Keep in mind, though, that slipcovers

“If you don’t like it, if you like things tailored, you’re going to have a hard time falling in love with slipcovers,” Sebulsky said.

She noted that slipcovers originated in the United States on the East Coast, places such as the Hamptons of Long Island, N.Y., and the late 19th-century mansions of Providence, R.I. See Slipcovers / F4

F Soup Continued from F1 “I had a roasted cauliflower soup recipe I love, and you know how steamed cauliflower can make faux mashed potatoes? I used that idea and added evaporated nonfat milk and chicken broth instead of cream.

The herbs I use remind me of mom’s recipe because we love sage and cumin. My soup tastes like dressing and chicken and dumplings. Just yummy,” Hardy said.

Maryana Vollstedt is another soup lover. The Oregon native and author of more than 25 cookbooks, many of them bestsellers (www.maryanavollstedt .com), said she makes soup at least once a week for her husband, Reed, and herself.

“It’s easy to do, and you have your whole meal in one pot. I think soups can be just as good as a regular, full-course meal: fresh ingredients and a whole lot less sodium in homemade soups,” Vollstedt said in a phone interview from her home in Eugene.

Her cookbook, “The Big Book of Soups & Stews,” is subtitled “262 Recipes for Serious Comfort Food.” Three of her recipes are included here (see right): Spaghetti Soup, Thai Ginger Chicken Soup and Reunion Soup, a vegetable soup with a seasoned white sauce whisked in at the end.

Vollstedt, 85, wishes more people would make the effort to cook at home, especially soup, since many recipes are simple to make and require only a few minutes of chopping.

Her “Big Book of Soups & Stews” has recipes for homemade chicken, turkey, beef, fish and vegetable stock, but she said that’s not necessary.

“You don’t have to make your own stock; canned is acceptable. Buy the ones with less sodium and 100 percent fat-free, and if you want it vegetarian, go with vegetable broth,” she said.

To jazz up homemade soup, Vollstedt recommends garnishes. Her rule of thumb is, the more complex the soup, the simpler the garnish should be.

“They add extra flavor and eye appeal. They dress your soup up a little bit,” she said.

“A small amount of an ingredient that suggests the soup’s flavor, such as a few sliced mushrooms for a cream of mushroom soup, are sprinkled on top. Thin soups can be garnished with small herb sprigs or a sprinkling of fresh-snipped herbs that float on top. Light cream soups improve in appearance when sprinkled with finely chopped parsley or chives or a dash of paprika,” Vollstedt writes in her cookbook.

Supper can be simple and sublime when it’s soup.

“It’s well known for being comfort food, and always has been. All that’s needed is a green salad and crusty bread,” Vollstedt added.

F Artichokes and sausage, sure, but fruit?

You bet — the gratin doesn’t judge

BABY ARTICHOKE GRATIN Makes 8 to 10 servings.

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

Aromatic vegetables suspended in a rich sauce, maybe a little melted cheese, all of it hidden under a crisp golden brown crust. Behold the glory that is the gratin.

One of the oldest dishes in the comfort food playbook, the gratin is a celebration of lush creaminess and crisp crust that is often based on the simplest of ingredients. Its poster child, the gratin dauphinois, is made from nothing more than potatoes and cream. Sliced potatoes are layered with cream or milk in a shallow baking dish and baked until the filling is thickened and bubbly and the top of the dish is toasted to a rich brown.

That may be classic, but gratin isn’t a restrictive dish. Such goodness should never be limited.

Almost any food can be gratineed. Focus the gratin on one ingredient (say, asparagus or crab) for a simple side or appetizer dish, or pair ingredients, constructing the gratin to make a perfect one-dish meal. You could even build the gratin around pasta. (Baked macaroni and cheese, anyone?) Take your inspiration from what you might find in the market, or whatever leftovers might be in the fridge.

• Egg-thickened gratin: Not all gratins need an extended baking time before they’re ready. Sometimes a quick trip under the broiler is all that’s necessary.

When based on a sauce thickened with eggs, gratins take on a lighter overall texture, much more free-form in structure. A minute or two under the broiler is all these sauces need for color and a delicate crust — any more than that and the sauce could break.

• Flour-thickened gratin: A potato gratin owes its creaminess to the natural starch from the potatoes. Absent a main ingredient with a lot of starch, flour is a great choice as a thickener.

Start with a roux, then build the sauce with cream, broth or another liquid. The only trick with a flour-based sauce is that it will need time to cook so the raw flavor of the flour dissipates.

This can be done on the stove or in the gratin dish.

• Fresh-cheese gratin: Perhaps the simplest gratin of all is made with little more than a dollop of fresh cheese or ricotta, or a fermented cream in the form of mascarpone, creme franche, sour cream and even yogurt.

As with the egg-based sauces, cheese and cream-based fillings will brown quickly under the broiler, taking no more than a minute or two. Watch carefully that the cheese does not overcook and separate.

Creamy gratins topped with a golden, crunchy crust can be made from nearly any ingredient, such as these fresh fruit versions.

FRESH FRUIT GRATIN Makes 4 servings.

Note: Amaretti are Italian almond macaroon-like cookies and can be found in well-stocked markets and specialty cooking stores.

Cream cheese, creme franche, Greek yogurt or sour cream can be substituted for the mascarpone.

8 amaretti cookies, finely crumbled 4 generous C diced fresh fruit, cut into bite-size pieces (small berries can be left whole) 1 (8-oz) container

mascarpone cheese, at room temperature 2 TBS honey 1 tsp amaretto or citrus liqueur 2 tsp cornstarch

Heat the broiler and set a rack about 4 inches beneath the heating element.

Divide the crumbled amaretti among 4 individual gratin dishes or shallow ramekins. Divide the fruit evenly over the top, gently pressing the top of the fruit into an even layer.

In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, honey, liqueur and cornstarch until evenly combined. Dollop the cheese mixture into the gratins, and spread with the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread the cheese and flatten it in an even layer over the fruit.

Place the gratin dishes under the broiler and cook just until the top of the gratins start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND KALE GRATIN Makes 6 to 8 servings.

3 TBS olive oil 1 lb fresh mild Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled 1 ⁄3 C dry white wine 2 bunches (about 1 lb) kale, stemmed and torn into

large pieces ½ C (1 stick) butter 1 ⁄3 C flour 2 C milk 8 oz fresh goat cheese 1 C freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the sausage and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Add the wine and cook, scraping the flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until the wine reduces and is mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium.

Stir in the kale, one handful at a time. Cook the kale, stirring it in with the sausage, until it begins to wilt and turn a bright green. Continue adding kale by the handful until it is all added to the sauté pan and is just wilted. Do not overcook the kale.

Remove from heat and set the pan aside.

In a large saucepan, melt one-half cup (1 stick) butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to get rid of any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Crumble the goat cheese to the sauce and whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, then stir in the sausage and kale. Remove from heat.

Spoon the mixture into a shallow, 2-quart gratin dish.

In a medium bowl, combine the ParmigianoReggiano, bread crumbs and minced fresh herbs.

Pour over the 3 tablespoons melted butter and

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sausage and kale mixture.

Bake the gratin until the topping is goldenbrown and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Cool slightly before serving.

Slipcovers

If you have a sofa you like, but it’s out of style or wearing out, check with the manufacturer to see if slipcovers are available.

“Most companies keep a pattern on file even if the sofa has been discontinued. You can pick new fabric and they’ll make a slipcover for you. It’ll typically cost about $600 to $1,000, or half of what a new sofa would cost,” said Sebulsky.

Continued from F1 “Those fantastic old houses would always have slipcovers to protect furniture from weather and light, and they didn’t want the kids to ruin the furniture. It was that white cotton duck cloth.

Those great old houses still use that look as a classic design element, and that filters to other parts of the country,” Sebulsky said.

You may want to consider slipcovers the next time you notice your furniture needs to be freshened up. It can be a cost-effective way to get a whole new look.

Styles, fabrics, colors

Ready-made or custom Slipcovers can be purchased ready-made from a variety of sources: big-box home and department stores, furniture stores and online companies, to name a few.

Ready-made is the most inexpensive option, often costing less than $100 for a couch slipcover, with standard sizes (small, medium and large), and a limited choice of fabrics and colors.

The downside of ready-made slipcovers, said Sebulsky, is they need to be adjusted often since they have a loose fit. Some have ties that need to be re-tied frequently, and they have to be

This sofa was designed to include a washable slipcover to protect the furniture from wear and dirt. tucked in repeatedly.

“You’ll always be fussing with them. They’ll look like a shirt that’s not quite tucked in if you use your sofa heavily,” she said.

Upholsterers and seamstresses can create a perfectly fitted custom slipcover for a couch, love seat, recliner, dining chair or ottoman. The skill and time in-

volved are reflected in the price.

Karen Johnson of KJ’s Upholstery in Bend estimated the cost of a custom slipcover for a sofa, including fabric, would run about $700, depending on the style and details.

Johnson said that sometimes slipcovers are a great option, other times not.

“If it’s an older piece of furniture, you have padding that’s been compressed over the years.

If you reupholster instead, I can put in a new layer of padding and give the piece more comfort. I try to make sure that someone who wants a slipcover understands the pros and cons,” Johnson said.

Slipcovers come in a multitude of styles, from country to modern. Some are draped and tucked, others have piping or ruffles, some have tailored pleats.

Sebulsky suggested browsing the Internet to see which styles appeal to you. She said that Cottage Living and Southern Living magazines often show the slipcovered look in their home design articles.

As for fabrics and colors, Sebulsky said the trend now is for more natural and organic textures and hues, so if you want a modern look, lean toward neutral colors and cotton and linen fabrics, not synthetics.

One of the big pluses of slipcovers is the majority of them are machine washable.

“That’s a big deal. If you invest in a good piece of furniture, you can protect it for a long time,” said Sebulsky.

A laundromat washing ma-

chine works best for a large slipcover that has many yards of fabric.

After washing, Sebulsky recommends fluffing it in a dryer set on low heat or no heat for a short amount of time to release some of the wrinkles, and then putting it back on the sofa while it’s still damp. If washing caused a bit of shrinkage, the fabric will stretch a bit when it’s damp, and, as it dries, you’ll get a tighter fit. You can steam it later with an iron or steamer if wrinkles bother you.

Besides changing a look and protecting furniture from dirt, slipcovers can unify a room full of mismatched furniture.

For an inexpensive fix, buy matching ready-made neutral slipcovers for a sofa and chair that clash, and use pillows to add interest and color.

For a higher-end look, Sebulsky suggested checking out fabric stores for relatively inexpensive designer fabric remnants.

Such fabrics can make great looking custom slipcovers crafted by an upholsterer or sewing pro.

If your furniture looks tired but still has a lot of function left, the slipcover is an old concept that can make a room look fresh and new.

Designs to update the kitchen add a little spice combination in the same room.

Counter-depth refrigerators are easier to fit into a kitchen because they don’t jut out into the room. But even though they’re often taller, they typically have less storage space, Nairn said.

So some designers are dealing with that space shortage by incorporating drawer refrigerators or freezers into the cabinets to hold additional food.

Shababy said that kind of arrangement makes sense only when the drawer holds foods that are used mostly in a particular part of the kitchen — for example, a drawer for vegetables next to the sink where they’re cleaned and prepared.

By Mary Beth Breckenridge Akron Beacon Journal

What’s cooking in kitchens?

Simpler styling, hidden appliances and a bit of color to make life interesting, to name just a few things.

Here are the trends we found when we visited a few kitchen showrooms:

Clean lines Fancy is fading.

Kitchens are moving away from ornate looks such as Tuscan and French country in favor of more transitional design, a trend Betty Nairn of Cabinet-STop in Granger Township, Ohio, calls “simplistic luxury.”

The move toward clean lines and less ornamentation is due at least in part to homeowners thinking ahead, said Debra Shababy of Studio 76 Kitchens and Baths in Twinsburg, Ohio.

Many are looking toward selling their homes as the economy improves, and they want their kitchens to appeal to a broad range of buyers, she said.

Contemporary design is gaining interest, too — even in the Midwest, a region long tied to the traditional. Barbara Dillick of Kitchen Design Group in Bath Township, Ohio, figures people have become more comfortable with the spare, sleek look because they’ve been exposed to it through shelter magazines, TV shows and upscale hotels.

Built-in dining Eat-in kitchens are still in demand, but where we do that eating has changed. The bar-style counter is still popular, but it’s giving way in many new kitchens to an extension of the counter that looks more like a table.

Bars

Photos by Karen Schiely / Akron Beacon Journal

A lower table incorporated into the island countertop is featured in the showroom of Studio 76 Kitchen and Baths in Twinsburg, Ohio.

The deep base under the island portion provides storage space.

Sometimes the extension is counter height; sometimes it’s higher or lower. What sets it apart from bar seating is that it’s designed so the diners sit around the edge and face one another, rather than sitting in a line.

The idea of trading a table for a counter extension makes some homeowners nervous initially, Kitchen Design Group’s Deanna Carleton said. But the setup has advantages: It saves space, the extension can do double duty as an extra buffet surface and the deep base that holds the countertop provides a good amount of storage.

Safety, sustainability More than ever, consumers are paying attention to the materials that go into their kitchens, Shababy said.

She said many respond positively when she suggests cabinet finishes with low levels of volatile organic compounds, vapors that contribute to indoor air pollution. They also like cabinets that are joined with dowels instead of glues containing formaldehyde.

Safety features are popular, such as lockouts that prevent stove burners from being turned on accidentally and mechanisms that keep drawers and cabinet doors from slamming on little fingers, Shababy said.

And people are leaning toward energy-saving features such as LED lights, as well as natural products such as wood floors and stone countertops, she said.

Granite is still the top choice for countertops, especially since common types have become affordable for most people, the designers agreed. But quartz — stone chips mixed with binders and colorants — is coming on strong, they said.

Lighting Kitchen lighting isn’t just a matter of function anymore. It’s also an expression of personality, Carleton said.

Hand-blown glass shades on pendant lights, contemporary drum shades and elegant chandeliers are all ways homeown-

A designer pushes a button to open the microwave drawer in the showroom of Studio 76 Kitchen and Baths. ers can infuse their style into a kitchen without making a big commitment. After all, it’s easier and cheaper to change lighting fixtures than it is cabinets or countertops, she noted.

Layers of light continue to be common in kitchen design — for example, a ceiling fixture combined with under-counter task lighting and ambient lights behind a glass-front door. But gimmicky lighting schemes such as lighted toe kicks aren’t so popular, Dillick said.

LEDs are finding their way into the kitchen, mainly in under-counter lighting but also in

recessed ceiling lights. They’re available in both cool and warm lights to fit different decors and preferences.

Nairn has also seen a big preference for natural lighting via windows, skylights or reflective light tubes.

Refrigerator options The depth of the typical refrigerator poses a design challenge, particularly in smaller kitchens. Manufacturers have responded with shallower appliances and drawer models, which are often used in

Bars are coming out of the great room and into the kitchen.

Dillick said many of her company’s clients are requesting bar areas in the kitchen where they can store both the booze and the barware in one convenient spot.

Often, they’re taking out kitchen desks to free the space.

Bar cabinets that look like pantries are popular, she said. Often they’re outfitted with a wine or beverage refrigerator; storage space for glassware, knives and a cutting board; and sometimes a sink.

Color Most homeowners still tend toward the safe and neutral in their kitchen’s more permanent items — cupboards, countertops and flooring. But that doesn’t mean kitchens can’t be colorful.

Walls are sporting bold hues such as persimmon or pomegranate, Dillick said. Accessories and appliances bring spots of color, such as a Wolf range with red knobs and a cobalt oven interior that “people fall in love with,” she said. It’s also popular to work a colorful painted cabinet or two in among white or natural wood cabinets to add a bit of interest.

Dillick has also seen the comeback of window seats, which provide the opportunity to add color in the form of fabric. Upholstered seats, pillows and window valances all add a bit of color and softness, which are often lacking in a room filled mostly with hard surfaces, she said.

Individualism All of the kitchen designers were hesitant to talk in terms of trends, because they believe a kitchen’s design should suit the individual. Kitchens are places where we spend a lot of time, so it’s more important to have what you like, not what’s popular, they said.

“Really, it’s up to you,” Shababy said. “It’s whatever makes you happy being in your kitchen.”

G Scottish landscapes to help inspire us all

By Adrian Higgins The Washington Post

At a moment in the year when people are looking to spring and thinking about their gardens, landscape photographer Allan Pollok-Morris is rethinking the whole idea of the garden.

Is it a place of swooning beauty? No. On an old city campus, plumes of pampas grass brighten a forlorn space but cannot quite transform it. A place of flowers? Not in a contemporary town garden, where the landscape is a study in lawn panels and other rectilinear planes. Of permanence? No. Look at an artist named Jim Buchanan, who etches a labyrinth in the sand to be erased by the tide.

You can assess Pollok-Morris’ eclectic take on the garden in his book “Close: Landscape Design and Land Art in Scotland” (Northfield Editions, 2010) and in an exhibit at the U.S. Botanic Garden near the Capitol in Washington.

Close, as in near, is an old Scottish term for a landscape that is so inspirational, “it’s as if the heavens are closer to Earth,” Pollok-Morris said in an interview.

Through his lens, a garden is many things, but not amorphous. Indeed, he has captured the work of some of the most focused minds in the landscape world today, and yet you come away from the show realizing that the old barriers between flower gardens, landscape gardening and land art are as artificial as gardenmaking itself.

Pollok-Morris said he is open to various interpretations of his chosen terrains. In each, he says, he strives “to convey a sense or an experience of the place.”

Some of the landscapes are distinctly of their region. Others offer universal inspiration.

From a purely horticultural perspective, Scotland is an engaging place to garden. The west coast is wet, the east coast is not (so much), the days extend into the night in the growing season, and the amazing temperance of the Gulf Stream is countered by the effects of the coastal winds.

It is a land of the north, and even after six years on the project, the 38-year-old photographer is still amazed that a country sharing latitudes with Alaska can support such lushness.

Stone sentinels A few of the featured landscapes really grab me, in different ways. Andy Goldsworthy has elevated the high craft of dry stonewalling into an art form. (His exhibit “Roof” was installed in the National Gallery of Art’s East Building in 2005.) Near the village of Penpont, Goldsworthy assembled an egglike sentinel recalling the ancient Celtic stone piles or cairns. It is another installation of his that I find mesmerizing: a brownstone arch emanating from the opening of a stone barn. The arch seems to provide a symbolic link between the stone of the barn and the soil whence it came. The muscular arch itself is vernacular in form and material, and yet its use here is strange. The resulting tension is incredibly effective.

Pollok-Morris said he was most inspired by Little Sparta, the art garden near Edinburgh devised by the late Ian Hamilton Finlay and known for its gardens, sculptures and monuments inscribed in “concrete poetry”: poetic quotations carved in stone and wood and given heightened meaning by their placement in the environment.

The photographer also likes the way the designer Douglas Coltart forms peaceful landscapes that observe the cardinal rule of gardenmaking in scenic territory: Don’t compete with it.

I have a handful of favorites, from afar, Little Sparta being one of them. I am drawn to an estate garden and the dramatic siting of the big turreted Dunbeath Castle on the seaside cliffs of northeast Scotland.

Next week: Going up Vertical gardens are rising in popularity.

Trends Continued from F1 A packet of seeds for less than $2 is a small investment for weeks of good, fresh eating.

McCoy states, “We had trouble wrapping our heads around saving the rain forests, but we clearly can wrap our arms around saving our own backyards.” Putting conservation on the level of our own backyard makes sense and is a challenge we can meet.

Gardening with a purpose heads the list of emerging garden trends for 2011. Other trends include healthy soils being built with additions of organic composts and soil amendments, gardeners using more eco-friendly products, and moving further away from the toxic chemical weed killers and pest repellents. Keep reading for more garden trends.

Eco-scaping Photos by Allan Pollok-Morris / The Washington Post

Charles Jencks, an architectural theorist and landscape architect, designed the Garden of Cosmic Speculation at Portrack House in Dumfries, Scotland, where he lives, as “a landscape conceived as a place to explore certain fundamental aspects of the universe.”

The landscape at the Maggie’s Cancer Caring Center in Dundee, Scotland, was crafted by the garden designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd. The building is by Frank Gehry.

The term “sustainable gardening” has been around for more than a decade, but what does it mean? According to the handbook used in Oregon State University Master Gardener training, sustainable gardening uses “gardening practices that allow plants to thrive with minimal inputs of labor, water, fertilizer and pesticides.”

In many cities the planting of the parking strip — that area between the sidewalk and the road — has become popular.

Usually drought-tolerant plants are used rather than turf grass or trees that require high water usage. I checked with the Bend Public Works Department, and there is no restriction in planting that strip. However, remember that it is public right of way and the department may need to work in it at some point. So keep that in mind if you are inclined to use eco-scaping in that space.

Eco-scaping promotes the planting of native plants. There is an increased interest locally, and nurseries are responding with a wider selection of native plants.

Edible ornamentals Small fruit-bearing shrubs like berries and smaller trees are gaining interest. Is there anything more delightful than raspberries or strawberries from your own garden?

Blueberries are gaining in popularity as more varieties suitable to our climate are offered.

The Bulletin ile photo

Raspberries, shown here in a Bend backyard, are among the fruitbearing shrubs and trees that are trendy for 2011.

Growing up with vertical gardening Vertical gardens go beyond your typical redwood trellis. Vertical gardens require a sturdy, free-standing, heavy-duty framework. The plants grow in a series of horizontal growing spaces or pockets. Horticulturist Allan Armitage suggests they can be used to provide privacy, screen eyesores and draw the eye upward to create the illusion of space.

Urban farming and CSAs Farmers markets and community supported agriculture are a growing trend. We have seen that increase in our own area.

CSA farms provide fresh produce to subscribers throughout the growing season. The general policy is that you receive a weekly allotment of vegetables that have been harvested that week.

The upside is you try veggies that are new to you; the downside is

you may get somewhat the same selection a few weeks in a row.

It’s the perfect opportunity to explore some new recipes.

New urbanism According to the Garden Media Group, the definition of this trend is, “Sustainable urban communities offering convenient and enjoyable places to enjoy an urban lifestyle.” I think Central Oregon is ahead of the curve on this trend.

Planting water-wise plants, collecting rainwater, walkable streets, diversity of shops, homes and apartments with less turf and more plants encourages better stewardship of our earth and reconnects us as fellow stewards of our resources and our communities, according to the Garden Media Group. What a great common goal for all of us to work toward.

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?

Sustainable containers Peter Cool, gardener at Jura House garden, has taken advantage of the mild climate of the Isle of Jura to grow tender exotic plants in the old vegetable garden.

Annual flower sales are down almost 20 percent from previous years. Annuals are being replaced with longer-blooming perennials.

Growing food in containers is becoming a trend, especially as more vegetables that are smaller in size are developed for container growing. Add a trellis to the container for cucumber vines, sprinkle in some dill seed plus a mixture of lettuce seeds and you have the start of a summer salad. The increased interest in herb growing leads one to think about containers that can be planted for the purpose of windowsill growing during the winter.

Succulents At Cambo House, in Fife, Scotland, gardener Elliott Forsyth has repurposed an old walled garden for a 21st-century take on the Scottish garden.

Here, landscape designer Xa Tollemache has reworked old walled gardens with tough, bigboned but decorative shrubs, and perennials that are both pliant and defiant in the galeforce winds.

I would like to spend an afternoon with the pop artist and sculptor Gerald Laing in his castle garden, not least to observe the pontoon-bicycle boat in action on his pond.

Pollok-Morris’ work also records, perhaps not consciously, how the British garden has changed in the past 20 years.

The eye-catching, color-driven floral border, dripping in rambling roses and tender wall shrubs, held out a false archetype. Today, the sizzle in the garden is with herbaceous plants - perennials, grasses,

bulbs, even annuals - and the knack is to assemble them in a bold and coherent way that avoids a visual jumble. This is not just a British idea; indeed, it is more Dutch, German and, yes, American.

At Cambo House, a country estate in Fife, gardener Elliott Forsyth has pulled this off with striking blocks of summer perennials and grasses in shades of purple, white and green.

In another image, we see a foreground of echinops veiling bands of verbena, grasses, plume poppies, buddleias and what look like red blanket flowers.

This is exciting, vital gardening, but in the broader survey of “Close,” this horticultural emphasis seems positively traditional.

Succulents are already popular in many Central Oregon gardens. They fit so well with our desire to garden with less water.

Succulents make attractive additions to rockeries where soil mass is limited. They can also satisfy our desire to have an attractive indoor plant. Think of the pleasure a blooming Christmas cactus or a jade plant in bloom can bring.

MEANWHILE THE EXCITEMENT OF WINNING $500 AND A WEEKEND AT THE COAST IS SPREADING ACROSS CENTRAL OREGON ...

The survey was so easy!

I can’t believe I can win $500 for something so simple!!

Indoor gardening For those who can’t or don’t want to garden outdoors, join those who bring the outdoors in with houseplants. Orchids are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to help clean indoor air from volatile compounds and provide oxygen. Phalaenopsis (moth) orchids as well as other varieties are perfect choices for easy growing.

Indoor ferns are also becoming more popular. My favorite houseplant is a rabbit’s foot fern.

I love how the fury rhizomes resembling a rabbit foot spill over the edge of the container.

Are those cut tulips still growing?

MARTHA STEWART

Q: A:

Why does it look as if my tulips are growing in the

vase?

You’re not seeing things.

Tulip stems do continue to lengthen once they’re snipped.

That’s because the cells in their stems are particularly responsive to the plant hormone auxin, which causes them to elongate.

Auxin also influences phototropism — the tendency of plants to grow toward light. Once these flowers are placed in a vase, it is not unusual for them to extend an inch or more per day, always

reaching for the brightest spot in the room. Most of the growth occurs along the stem above the topmost leaf. Since the arrangement can change on its own, don’t expect it to remain the way you position it. Even if you line up the flowers like soldiers, the stems could swoop and bend by the next day. To keep the blooms fresh, retrim the stem ends (to open the water-uptake channels) and replace the water every few days.

Snapdragons, delphiniums and gerbera daisies also grow once cut, but much more slowly than tulips, so you’re not likely to notice the change.

Q: A:

What is white balsamic vinegar?

A relatively new addition to the roster of vinegars,

white balsamic vinegar — which has a golden hue — tastes notably milder than the original.

Traditional balsamic vinegar comes from the Modena region of Italy, where it is made from grapes — often Trebbiano, a mainstay for the area’s winemakers. A concentrated grape juice (called must) is cooked in open vats and then aged in a series of wooden barrels for five to more than 50 years. The resulting vinegar is deep brown and exceptionally sweet and syrupy. If kept in casks for 12 or more years, it can cost $60 an ounce. (Check the label if you’re looking to buy good-quality balsamic vinegar; the cheapest versions are simply white-wine vinegar with sugar and caramel color.)

White balsamic vinegar is

cooked under pressure to prevent caramelization and aged for just a year. The result is much lighter in color, with a less sweet flavor. It’s ideal for sauces, dressings and dishes that traditional balsamic vinegar would discolor. You can also use it in any recipe that calls for a more mild vinegar, such as a marinade or a vinaigrette; its fresh taste is a perfect fit for salads and cooked vegetables.

Q: A:

Do dishes come out cleaner when you don’t overfill your dishwasher?

As long as you allow for space between each item, the number of dishes you load should not affect how well the machine cleans the dishes. However, if your china is stacked too tightly, the water will not reach

the soiled parts of the dishes.

Organization is the key. Read through the loading manual that comes with your dishwasher for tips. And for more tips on how to load a dishwasher, visit www.marthastewart .com/load-dishwasher.

Classic Amish comfort food

By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

Arnetta Paulin from Schuylkill Haven, Pa., was looking for a recipe for what she called rivel soup. She said her mother made this soup often when she was growing up in Pennsylvania Dutch country near Hershey, Pa. This simple but hearty soup, also sometimes called dough ball soup, was and still is a popular Amish comfort food.

The recipe sent in by Bette Considine from Timonium, Md., comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook published in 1966. The word “rivel” means “lump,” and this soup is full of lumps that look like rice when cooked. The rivels are formed when the dough mixture is dropped into the hot broth. If you are pressed for time, and don’t want to make homemade stock, a good quality store-

bought broth will work just fine. However, I would recommend adding some cooked and shredded chicken to the soup to fill it out a bit.

RECIPE REQUEST: Dave Coakley from Baltimore is looking for a recipe for oyster stew. He said the one served at the Peppermill Restaurant in Towson, Md., is the best he’s tasted and he would love to have that recipe.

RECIPE FINDER

If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278. If you send more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper with your name, address and daytime phone number. Please list the ingredients in order of use and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

RIVEL SOUP Thinkstock

Ditch the microwaved stuff. From start to finish, popping corn on the stovetop takes three to five minutes.

Power to the popcorn – hey, it’s a whole grain

Makes 6 servings.

1 qt chicken broth 1 C flour

½ tsp salt 1 egg, beaten

Bring broth to a boil. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add egg and with fingers work together until mixture is crumbly. Rub mixture between your fingers over the broth, dropping in small

1 cup whole corn kernels, crushed pieces about the size of a pea. These are called rivels. They should not be big; that is a dumpling.

Add the corn and simmer about 10 minutes. The rivels will look like boiled rice when cooked.

By Lee Svitak Dean (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

I come from a family of serious popcorn makers. My memories of childhood are tied to the rattle of corn kernels hitting the pan. The ping-ping-ping of them bursting.

The alluring fragrance of popped corn wafting into the room. The deliciously greasy fingers that had to be licked.

On Saturday nights, my mother would pull out the 3-quart Revere Ware pot — the one with a few vestiges of burnt kernels — and pop up our treat while we, freshly scrubbed and smelling sweetly of Lux soap and Prell shampoo, watched “My Three Sons” and “Hogan’s Heroes.”

We took our popping seriously, my mother comparing notes with her sisters on the best technique: lots of oil or little, salt before or after, shaking the pan or not, white, yellow or any of the gourmet versions of popcorn. (“Can you believe it?” my mother would exclaim when she saw the newfangled oddities. “Popcorn comes in colors these days.”)

By the mid-1980s, when microwave popcorn appeared on the shelf, we had packed up the old pan. The sheer novelty of almostinstant popcorn had us transfixed in front of the microwave as the small bag expanded in front of our eyes, even though we heeded the urban rumor to “stand clear of the microwave.” Never mind that the bags often burned. It was magic.

I’m back to the real thing these days, kernels popped in a heavy pan with just a thin coating of oil.

I top it with a modest dose of melted butter and salt. It’s the perfect snack (and in some cases, dinner) in the winter and fall, which not surprisingly is when most popcorn kernels are sold.

Not only is popcorn cheap to make at home, but it’s also fast — almost the same amount of time to make popcorn from scratch as to make it in the microwave. From start to finish, 3 to 5 minutes. (So much for our early excitement over the speed of microwave popcorn.)

These days, the corn offers a big advantage we never considered earlier: Popcorn is a whole grain and, yes, it can be used to meet dietary recommendations for whole grains (3 cups of popcorn is considered to be one serving of grain).

It is fiber, after all.

A simple how-to I’ve included a recipe here, though you don’t really need one. The key is to match the amount of popcorn kernels to the pan you are using.

First lightly coat the bottom of a deep pan with a neutral oil that has a high smoking point, such as canola. (The oil gets very hot, so you want one that won’t burn. And, if the oil has a flavor, the popcorn will pick up the same.) Use only as many kernels as make up one layer on the bottom of the pan. Too many and you will end up with unpopped kernels, or what we used to call “old maids.”

Cover the pan and place it over medium-high heat. Years ago we shook and rattled the pan till our

arms were numb, but in retrospect it wasn’t necessary. The kernels are moving as they pop, and are just fine if you leave the pan on the burner while they are exploding.

Listen as the kernels pop and when they slow to two seconds in between bursts, take the pan off the burner and carefully pour the popcorn into a bowl (do this pointing away from your eyes, in case an unexpected last-minute kernel pops).

If you’re using butter, now’s the time to melt it (cool the pan a bit if you’re using the same one because it will be hot enough to burn the butter) and add whatever flavorings you prefer.

That’s it. A treat for the times: cheap and fast. And tasty.

PERFECT POPCORN Makes 5 cups.

2 TBS vegetable oil ½ C popcorn kernels

Melted butter, optional Salt, optional

Directions: Cover bottom of 3-quart pan with thin coat of oil.

Place over medium-high heat. Add kernels to cover the bottom of pan in one layer. Cover. You do not need to shake the pan as the popping keeps the kernels moving. The popping will take 3 to 5 minutes. When the popping slows to 2 seconds between kernels (instead of the early rapid-fire), remove pan from heat.

Transfer popcorn to a large bowl. Add melted butter and salt, as desired, and toss well. Serve immediately.

Curried variation: Combine 2 teaspoons curry powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon sugar. Toss with 8 cups buttered popcorn.

Ranch chili variation: Combine 1 tablespoon dry ranch salad dressing mix, ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper or chili powder and 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic salt. Toss with 8 cups buttered popcorn.

This notice replaces the notice of the decision that was published in The Bulletin on February 9, 2011. The project area is located on the northeast flank of Newberry Volcano on the Bend/Ft. Rock Ranger District. The legal location is Township (T) 20 South (S) Range (R) 13 East (E) sections 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 34, 35, and 36 as well as Township (T) 20 South (S) Range (R) 14 East (E) sections 19, 29, 30, 31, and 32, Willamette Meridian, Deschutes County, Oregon.

The Decision Notice and Environmental Assessment are available at the Bend/Ft. Rock Ranger District office or an electronic version can be accessed on the Deschutes National Forest website at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/cen traloregon/projects/units/be ndrock/index.shtml.

The Decision Notice authorizes vegetation management and fuels reduction on approximately 5,616 acres.

Specifically this decision includes: commercial thinning on 5,268 acres; overstory removal on 251 acres; precommercial thinning on 2,440 acres; ladder fuel reduction on 149 acres; lop and scattering of fuels on 1,131 acres; mowing on 289 acres; hand piling fuels on 5 acres; machine piling fuels on 1,272 acres; and underburning 4,705 acres.

This decision also includes a non-significant site specific forest plan amendment. The objective for big game thermal cover is amended to allow thinning when the area is below the 30% objective level of thermal cover.

This project will address the need for more resilience in the forest to large-scale disturbance events such as

insect, disease, and wildfire and will also move the watershed toward more historic conditions by reducing forest vegetation density and addressing tree species composition.

About 14.2 million board feet of timber will be produced.
