Knopp attacks Telfer over role in redistricting Summit By Lauren Dake

ELECTION: STATE SENATE

SALEM — Some have likened redistricting — the once-a-decade redrawing of the state’s legislative boundaries — to political war. The battle between the two major parties is inevitably fierce, and the stakes are high. District boundaries can determine who controls the Legislature for the next 10 years. Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing, though: Redistricting is one of the most partisan undertakings lawmakers attempt.

Nonetheless, the two parties did manage to approve a redistricting plan during the 2011 legislative session. It was the first such agreement in more than three decades. Among those at the negotiating table was Sen. Chris Telfer,

R-Bend, who proudly called the agreement “historic.” But her opponent in the May primary, former Oregon House Majority Leader Tim Knopp, has attacked Telfer for her role in the process. One of the most significantly altered districts, Knopp points out, is the one represented by Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend. If he had been at the negotiating table, Knopp said, House District 54 would have been split in a way that made races between Democrats and Re-

A TALL ORDER To replace the American flag that flies atop the middle smokestack at the Old Mill District, workers must ascend to the base of the flagpole. At left, Matt Christensen, an assistant landscape superintendent with Millsite Landscape Services, begins the climb down after replacing the flag along with Tom Keeton (unseen) on Wednesday. The 15-by-25-foot flag began flying soon after 9/11. Central Oregon Flag & Banner replaces the flag three to five times a year on average due to damage sustained in high winds.

Western Communications, the parent company of The Bulletin, emerged from bankruptcy protection Wednesday with the acceptance of its reorganization plan in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Portland. In a hearing lasting about 10 minutes, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Perris confirmed the plan that calls for full payment to creditors and ends a three-year dispute between Western Communications and its largest creditor, Bank of America. “It’s done,” said Betsy McCool, chairwoman of Western Communications. “We’ve been planning for this. We’re ready to move forward.” Bank of America declined comment Wednesday, according to an email received from Shirley Norton, listed by the bank as a media contact for legal issues. “We believe the court documents speak for themselves and have no comment,” the email stated. “As you know, we have been working with the company for some time to help them resolve their financial issues.” The plan accepted Wednesday calls for all claims to be paid in full and sets out the terms. All employee compensation, benefit, retirement programs and health care plans also will continue. All creditors that filed ballots voted in favor of the reorganization plan, according to a summary filed by Western Communications’ attorneys from Tonkon Torp in Portland. Western Communications, which also owns four other newspapers and the Central Oregon Nickel Ads in Oregon and two newspapers in California, filed for bankruptcy Aug. 23 under Chapter 11, which allows a company to reorganize and continue operating.

publicans more competitive. “It’s only historic if you’re a Democrat and hoping for control down the road,” he said. The contentious process ensures that the state’s population remains divided evenly into legislative districts, with each House district now having 63,851 residents and each Senate district 127,702. Because Central Oregon grew rapidly during the past decade, Conger’s district had to shrink, shedding about 17,600 people. See Redistricting / A4

Riding a bosun’s chair, Tom Keeton, vice president of Keeton-King Construction, begins the ascent to the top of the 206-foot smokestack on Wednesday. “The longest (the flag) has gone between changing is about three months,” Keeton said, “and the shortest was about three weeks.”

taps new principal • Alice DeWittie will take over for Lynn Baker starting July 1 By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Alice DeWittie will be Summit High School’s next principal, Bend-La Pine Schools announced Wednesday. Currently assistant principal at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, DeWittie will replace Lynn Baker, who will retire at the end of June. DeWittie plans to visit the school this month to meet with staff and students, and then return to the school periodically before she DeWittie begins on July 1. Wednesday evening, she was already studying the names and pictures of Summit’s staff members. DeWittie was also poring over emails from people affiliated with the school. “I’m ecstatic,” DeWittie said. “As far as I am concerned, I’m already working with Summit.” Prior to being Reynolds’ assistant principal, Dewittie worked as a curriculum, instruction and assessment specialist in the Reynolds School District from 2003 to 2007.

Poor sleep from travel, late-night shifts linked to obesity, diabetes By Nicole Ostrow Bloomberg News

Lack of sleep or erratic slumber from working late-night shifts or travel may lead to diabetes and obesity, according to a Harvard study that is the first to tie abnormal sleep patterns to disease. In a trial of 21 men and women observed in a sleep laboratory, those allowed only 5.6 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period over three weeks had a slowdown in their metabolism and a reduction in insulin production. Those changes can lead to weight gain and increased blood sugar, according to research published Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Sleeping, eating and being active at times that are at odds with the body’s internal clock, called circadian disruption, may raise the risk of diabetes and obesity as metabolic changes occur, said Orfeu Buxton, the lead study author. “We disrupted not just the timing of sleep but the timing of meals, so it seems that eating meals at an unusual time may also play a role,” said Buxton, as assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and an associate neuroscientist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Renewable sources of power survive, but in a patchwork By Diane Cardwell New York Times News Service

Just a few years ago, the future of renewable energy looked as bright and shiny as a white turbine blade coming out of the mold. The federal government was handing out money under the stimulus package, states were approving clean energy mandates, young companies were racing ahead with promising new technologies and big global developers

were planting stakes for ambitious, utility-scale projects. Now that picture has dimmed. The low price of natural gas has made renewable power less appealing to utilities and energy companies. The high price of gasoline — which has become an issue in the presidential campaign, as Republican candidates seek to use it against President Barack Obama, has renewed calls to increase oil exploration and

the past decade, but some say that in the decade to come an old technology could have the most profound impact on millions of people with hearing loss. Just as Wi-Fi connects people to the Web in wired places, hearing loops — simple wires that circle a room or part of a room — can connect many hearing aids and cochlear implants directly to sound systems.

Bypassing ambient noise, this wireless connection lets users clearly hear actors on stage, the person in the subway information booth, their ministers or rabbis, announcements at an airport, even their own television sets.

But as with all things that seem too good to be true, there’s a catch. Actually two catches. First, for hearing loops to work, users’ hearing devices have to be equipped with something called a telecoil — which is common but

The Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore recently installed a temporary hearing loop, which improved sound for hearingimpaired audience members by sending signals directly into their hearing aids or cochlear implants, bypassing ambient noise. Loops can work in places as varied as elevators, meeting rooms, living rooms and automobiles.

not universal. Second, public places have to be “looped.” In the United States, very few are. Still, you have to start somewhere, and two national organizations — the Hearing Loss Association of America and the American Academy of Audiology — have started by encouraging performance venues to install temporary loops, just to let people give them a try. A look at how hearing loops work to help hearing-impaired audience members:

COUNTER LOOP A compact, usually vertical loop that is mounted inside a desk or counter — or a living room chair or car. Works well at ticket counters, in taxicabs and other small areas.

PERIMETER LOOP A single loop of wire circling a room. Works well in living rooms and small public areas that have no telephone wiring or metal framing that would interfere with the signal.

SINGLE ARRAY A continuous loop laid in segments to avoid metal or wiring that would cause interference. Works well only in fixedseating areas such as lecture halls.

Note: Loops don’t work in settings such as parties in which there is no single sound source to amplify, but they are extremely useful in places where a main sound source fights with lots of background noise, such as an information kiosk in a subway.

5 more minutes? New clock answers a resounding ‘no’ By Ted Shaffrey The Associated Press

There is no snooze button. If you unplug it, a battery takes over. As wake-up time approaches, you cannot reset the alarm time. It could be the world’s most exasperating alarm clock. Once it goes off, to stop it you must get out of bed, go into the kitchen or bathroom, and punch the day’s date into a telephone-style keypad. That’s the only way to stop the loud ‘dingding,’ designed to sound like a customer angrily banging on a concierge bell at a hotel. It was invented by Paul Sammut, a 25-year-old engineer who was having trouble getting up and making it to work on time. “I wanted to make something that would essentially force me to get out of bed when I wanted to get out of bed the night before,” said Sammut.

Sammut Tech via The Associated Press

Love to hit snooze? You’ll hate the Ramos alarm clock.

He built the prototype in his spare time and uses it every day. “Now I wake up before it goes off,” said Sammut. “I subconsciously fear it and know I have to get up.” He acknowledges there is one way to stop the alarm without getting out of bed. “You could smash it,” said Sammut. But with a $350 price tag, that would be a really expensive way to sleep in.

while in shackles. In support of that motion, they had proposed calling him to testify on Thursday about his treatment. Prosecutors had asked that the courtroom be closed during his testimony, provoking a legal challenge from the news media. Pohl’s order, however, probably only delays an eventual fight over whether the news media and the public will be allowed to see al-Nashiri testify. He has been charged with helping to plot al-Qaida’s attack on the destroyer USS Cole in 2000, and his lawyers are expected to raise his treatment at the hands of the CIA as evidence that could mitigate against a death sentence. The case is now going through pretrial motions. Among those motions was one in which defense lawyers

FORT MEADE, Md. — A military judge on Wednesday averted a showdown over the First Amendment and the Obama administration’s military commission trials at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, issuing a ruling that avoids for now testimony by a Saudi man about the Central Intelligence Agency and torture.

Al-Nashiri’s lawyers had contended that their client was being retraumatized because he had been tortured by the CIA

Its depth was about 40 miles and, although close to the ocean, a tsunami warning was not issued. The tremor shook buildings in Mexico City, and many people evacuated.

BEIJING — China’s ruling Communist Party sought to swiftly close ranks Wednesday, hoping to move beyond a mortifying scandal that has exposed a leadership split and threatens to lay bare corruption in the party’s highest ranks. A day after removing a oncepowerful official, Bo Xilai, from the party’s Politburo and naming his wife as the main suspect in the murder of a British businessman, the party’s conduit for official pronouncements, the People’s Daily, published a front-page commentary ordering its members to rally around the party’s Central Committee and its general secretary, President Hu Jintao. Bo, 62, had won widespread popularity and become a rival to the party’s mainstream leaders. But he also enriched himself and his family, raising questions of corruption.

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine and Chinese officials Wednesday called for a diplomatic solution to a naval standoff in the South China Sea, while insisting that they would defend their territorial claims in the region. “If the Philippines is challenged, we are prepared to secure our sovereignty,” Albert del Rosario, the Philippine foreign secretary, said at a news conference as a Philippine frigate and two Chinese ships positioned themselves near disputed islands in the South China Sea.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama disappointed and vexed gay supporters Wednesday with his decision, conveyed to activists by a senior adviser, not to sign an executive order banning discrimination by employers with federal contracts. The executive order, which activists said had support from the Labor and Justice Departments, would have applied to gay, bisexual and transgender people working for or seeking employment from federal contractors. Current law does not protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and legislation to do so, which Obama endorses, lacks sufficient votes in Congress. “While it is not our usual practice to discuss executive orders that may or may not be under consideration, we do not expect that an executive order on LGBT nondiscrimination for federal contractors will be issued at this time,” said an administration official who would speak about the controver-

sy only if provided anonymity. “We support legislation that has been introduced and we will continue to work with congressional sponsors to build support for it.” That stance departs from the White House’s prominent “we can’t wait” campaign: Since last fall, Obama has signed executive orders on a variety of issues, arguing that “we can’t wait” for legislation that Republicans in Congress refuse to let pass. By not acting on the employment nondiscrimination order, Obama has newly angered a gay constituency that has been a source of campaign cash and that had been willing to overlook his failure so far to endorse same-sex marriage, given his actions on its other priorities, like repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy against openly gay service members. “We are extremely disappointed with this decision and will continue to advocate for an executive order from the president,” said Joe Solmonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign. “The unfortunate truth is that hardworking Americans can be fired simply for being gay or transgender.”

had asked that al-Nashiri be allowed to meet with them without being restrained, contending that the practice of shackling him was interfering with their relationship and ability to prepare for trial. Prosecutors responded by asking for a closed session with the judge to set rules for what could be made public, raising the possibility that the courtroom would be closed when al-Nashiri took the stand in order to protect government secrets. A consortium of news organizations, including The New York Times, objected and retained David Alan Schulz, a First Amendment lawyer, who urged Pohl to keep the courtroom open. Other members included Fox News, The Miami Herald, National Public Radio, The New Yorker,

Reuters, The Tribune Co. and The Washington Post. Pohl ordered that alNashiri’s lawyers be allowed to meet with him in the same room and without shackles in a cell adjacent to the courtroom on hearing days. The order left unanswered whether prison officials would insist that al-Nashiri be separated from physical contact with his lawyers as a condition of unshackling him during their visits at the prison. Al-Nashiri was captured in 2002, two years after the Cole attack killed 17 U.S. sailors, and was held in secret CIA “black site” prisons until 2006, when he was transferred to military custody at Guantánamo. It is not clear what government officials are afraid alNashiri might disclose.

In poppy war, the Taliban aim to protect a cash crop New York Times News Service KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — So focused are the Taliban on securing this year’s opium poppy crop — and the support of the farmers tending it — that in the early days of their spring offensive in the south, they are targeting not only the officials trying to eradicate the plants, but also the tractors they use. This year, the poppy fields that are so beautiful right now, carpeted with lithe red blossoms, are also sown with land mines — the product of the increased cooperation between poppy farmers and the militants they see as protectors of their economic interests, government officials say. “This year there is more poppy cultivation in Helmand, especially in places where people have confiscated the government lands and in places that were desert,” said Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the governor in Helmand province. “The reason is that the Tal-

iban promised and persuaded farmers to grow poppy and told them they would protect them.” One suicide attack this week in Helmand province, the poppy-growing capital not just of Afghanistan but of the world, was indicative of the far larger fight being taken up to control the crop across the southern opium belt, say government officials and the people who live there. In Helmand, the government has embraced eradication as part of a comprehensive program to discourage farmers from growing poppies and to subsidize alternative crops.

Redistricting Continued from A1 State law not only dictates how large districts must be, but also offers a principle according to which they must shrink or grow. Boundaries must be drawn in a way that keeps “communities of interest” together. In the end, lawmakers removed the necessary people from Conger’s district, which largely covers the city of Bend, by bringing the boundary inward. The move more than doubled the voter registration advantage enjoyed by Democrats, who will now outnumber Republicans by 6 percentage points. Knopp is not the first observer to note that the change in District 54 favors Democrats. Last June, Rep. Shawn Lindsay, R-Hillsboro, lamented to a Central Oregon resident via email that he and his colleagues failed to come up with a “more fair plan” for the district. Lindsay was one of the four people leading the redistricting negotiations. “I hope that you know that I fought as hard as I could to make it more fair,” Lindsay wrote. “Indeed, we did improve it from what the Democrats originally proposed. Ultimately, I followed the lead of your senator, Chris Telfer, who signed off on the Central Oregon deal.” Knopp pointed to the email as a sign that Telfer was not a “tough enough negotiator.” Telfer disagrees, arguing that Democrats presented “god-awful maps” initially. She submitted several alternatives, she said, but the Democrats rejected them. “The fact is,” she said, “Bend is a Democratic city and it’s more blue than it was 10 years ago, and no matter where you draw the line, you’re not going to make it redder.” At the time, Conger called the maps “political manipulation.” Toward the end of the process, he said, he didn’t have a lot of direct contact with Telfer.

Many projects — some rushing to start in time to qualify for federal tax breaks before they disappear — are going forward. And the Obama administration has been using some of its powers to promote clean energy, taking steps to open public lands and waters to private development of solar and wind power, while the Defense Department has been aggressively pursuing alternatives, both for its bases and for forces in the field. Late last year, for instance, SolarCity, a company based in San Mateo, Calif., announced that Merrill Lynch was lending it up to $350 million to install enough panels to power 120,000 military homes. Many business executives, policy analysts and investors say there is a robust future for domestic solar energy distributed in medium-size arrays and on commercial and residential rooftops, especially in markets with high electricity prices or strong mandates, like Hawaii, California and much of the Northeast. The low cost of solar panels, with average prices dropping 50 percent last year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, has helped.

Knopp has big lead in funding

Syria appears to observe cease-fire Liz Sly The Washington Post

SALEM — Former House Majority Leader Tim Knopp is winning the fundraising race against Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, in the District 27 Republican primary. A $25,000 donation from Loren Parks, a large Republican donor who owns a medical technology firm in the state, helped solidify Knopp’s healthy lead. As of Wednesday afternoon, Knopp had raised more than $93,000. That compares to Telfer’s $2,500 this year. After expenditures, Knopp has about $60,000 in the bank. Telfer has $22,280, which includes money she raised last year. Knopp credits his success to his reputation on the “no-sales tax campaign” and from his years in public service. “The great thing about Loren (and some of the other large donors) is they never ask for anything,” he said. “They donate to you because they believe in you opposed to wanting something.” Knopp has a reputation for being a successful

and aggressive fundraiser. “Normally, you spend six months or more to raise $100,000,” he said “It took us about eight weeks to do that.” Telfer criticized Knopp for getting most of his cash from “special interest, big money” sources. “Most of my money has come from individual donors within the district,” she said. Telfer pulled in $3,000 from the certified public accounting legislative action committee and another $2,000 from Freres Lumber Company, which is owned by Telfer’s personal friends. “Mine is definitely not special interest,” she said. “Two large checks have come in from people who are looking at my CPA (certified public accounting) skill set and want to maintain that in the senate.” Starting on Wednesday, candidates must post their campaign finance transactions within seven days. The secretary of state’s website will start to reflect more recent transactions. Prior to Wednesday, candidates had 30 days.

BEIRUT — A dawn ceasefire brokered by the United Nations appeared to take effect in Syria today after the Syrian government announced that it had succeeded in asserting control over the country after more than a year of unrest and would stop fighting in time for the deadline. But a Defense Ministry statement said that the government retained the right to retaliate against attacks by “armed terrorist groups,” casting into doubt its promise to stop fighting under terms of the cease-fire proposed by

U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan — the central plank in the international community’s efforts to end the bloodshed. The Syrian government has long described the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s rule as the work of “terrorists.” There were no reports of violations immediately after the 6 a.m. cease-fire was to take hold, but most of the government’s attacks against opposition strongholds typically take place later in the day. The White House urged caution, and activists also said they were skeptical that the cease-fire would be observed.

their own opinion about what extent Sen. Telfer bears responsibility or what extent she did not. ... I’m totally willing to say the process was flawed, the outcome was flawed,” Conger said. Knopp said he believes Telfer and her fellow negotiators could have produced a map creating two “relatively even districts.” If the Legislature had failed to approve a redistricting plan, Secretary of State Kate Brown would have assumed the task. Brown, a Democrat, is a former lawmaker herself and served as a member of her party’s leadership in the Senate. Near the end of Lindsay’s email to the constituent in June of last year, he wrote, “I remain confident that this is the best deal we could get without sending it to the Secretary of State, who would have likely given something much worse.” If he had been in Telfer’s seat, said Knopp, he “would have called their (Democrats’) bluff.” Brown didn’t want the job, as “she’s up for re-election, and it’s always difficult to do that before election because you tend to make people mad in both parties.” Eventually, says Knopp, Democratic lawmakers

“would have allowed or ultimately come around to a plan that was more fair than what we ended up getting.” Bill Lunch, a political science professor at Oregon State University, said “Knopp is right: The lines could have hypothetically been drawn to cut across the city to include more rural areas, and that would have been an advantage for the Republicans.” However, he noted, “the difficulty is that the Republicans did not control the redistricting process. It’s not quite under the control of the Democrats, but if a deal could not be reached amongst legislators — and it seemed unlikely in the early parts — then the secretary of state would draw the lines. And she’s a Democrat from Portland.” Ultimately, said Lunch, “the Republicans in the Legislature were not looking forward to handing this task over to Kate Brown.” When lawmakers failed to approve a redistricting plan in 2001, then-Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, a Democrat, redrew Oregon’s political boundaries. Republicans have long criticized those maps, arguing that they favor Democrats. In 1990, the job likewise

fell to then-Secretary of State Phil Keisling, also a Democrat. That year, Democrats complained that Keisling went too far in an attempt to appear nonpartisan, favoring Republicans and helping them take control of the Legislature in the early 1990s. Rep. Chris Garrett, D-Lake Oswego, represented the House Democrats on the 2011 redistricting plan and says the map was a compromise. “The map we ended up with reflects views that I held and other people held that we should respect the difference between urban and rural interests as much as possible. That was the prevailing view among people we heard from in our testimony.” The final map, says Garrett, differs from the proposals offered initially by both Republicans and Democrats. Lindsay, who declined to give specifics about the behind-the-scenes negotiations, echoed Garrett’s sentiments. “I don’t think you can find one person that is 100 percent happy with this plan,” he said. “I have no particular comment on whether she (Telfer) could have done more to protect Conger’s seat.”

tems long term, cutting their current electricity costs with little or no upfront investment. Last year, about 1,855 megawatts of new photovoltaic capacity was installed, according to a report by the association, more than double the 887 megawatts of the year before. Despite having lost the program that allowed developers to recoup 30 percent of their costs as a cash grant, the solar industry is still eligible through 2016 for a tax credit to be taken over five years, making its future seem in some ways more solid than that of the wind power industry, even though it far outstrips solar already. “There’s a great environment for solar for the next four years, and wind potentially falls off a cliff at the end of 2012,” said John Ewen, head of investment banking at Ardour Capital, which focuses on energy, referring to a wind power production tax credit that has been in place since 1992 but is scheduled to expire at the end of this year. Part of the appeal of solar power as a long-term investment, he said, was that the sun’s cost as a fuel was predictable and essentially free. “It’s clearly a better credit to bet on the sun coming up tomorrow than the price of natural gas,” he said. Although wind has some of the same advantages, development faces a different set of challenges. Unlike solar power, which can operate efficiently on a small scale, wind projects often make economic

sense only if they are huge, but they can end up generating electricity far from where it is needed, throwing up the political, logistical and parochial hurdles of streaming electrons across county and state lines. Still, plans for enormous projects are beginning to move ahead. One such project, by Clean Line Energy, which develops high-voltage transmission lines, would create enough capacity to take 3,500 megawatts of wind power from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota to Illinois and states to the east. With national energy policy bedeviled — and without a controlled market like China’s or the feed-in tariffs that have driven the use of renewables in Europe (to mixed results) — the United States is developing into a green-energy crazy quilt, a kind of regional patchwork driven by mandates. “There’s a coalition of the willing here among states and regions that already have parts of these policies, and it does seem to be the U.S. tradition to have diverse, oftenconflicting policies state by state,” said Daniel Kammen, a professor of energy, nuclear engineering and public policy at the University of California, Berkeley. “This is kind of a chaotic picture moving in the right direction.” So New Jersey, which has a robust set of solar incentives and a relatively strong state mandate for clean power, has become the nation’s second-

biggest solar market (after California) and the national leader in commercial rooftop photovoltaic installations. But in Georgia, where the main utility says it has the sole authority to sell electricity, small-scale solar power has not flourished because property owners must purchase systems themselves rather than lease them from companies like Sunrun for a monthly fee. Hawaii has made itself into a multi-island energy laboratory, experimenting with everything it can, including wave, wind, solar and biomass sources. California is to start a carbon market in November. And New Mexico is expected to be home to Tres Amigas, a kind of electricity hub that is to connect three U.S. grids and integrate power from solar, wind and geothermal sources by 2014. How all this plays out remains to be seen. “This industry is going through a transformation and elements of it are going to probably be fairly disruptive, but I think it’s kind of inevitable that a lot of these things are going to unfold,” said Theodore Craver, chief executive of Edison International, whose subsidiaries include electric power generators and Southern California Edison, one of the nation’s largest utilities. “Getting the timing right, figuring out exactly what direction some of these changes are going to take — of course that’s the big question.”

longer periods rather than changing every few days may help them stave off health problems, Buxton said. Researchers in the study followed healthy men and women who were kept in a controlled environment. The amount of sleep, when the sleep occurred, activities and diet were regulated. For three weeks they were only allowed to sleep for 5.6 hours in any 24-hour period. The sleep occurred at all times of the day and night to help copy the schedule of rotating shift workers. Chronic sleep restriction and disruption to the body’s internal clock caused about

a one-third decrease in insulin secretion after a standard meal, the researchers found. Too little insulin raises glucose levels in the body for longer periods of time, and may increase the risk of diabetes, Buxton said. He speculated that the clock in the pancreas, which regulates insulin, similar to the circadian clock in the brain, might also be disrupted making it not ready to secrete enough insulin to the body at the new time, he said. Participants also experienced an 8 percent drop in resting metabolism, the amount of calories burned by the body’s muscle excluding exercise.

The slowed metabolism could contribute to a 12.5-pound increase in weight over a year if there were no changes in exercise levels or food intake. That weight gain may lead to obesity and elevate diabetes risk, the authors said. Buxton said changes in the body’s clock and lack of sleep may cause the body to conserve energy when it isn’t necessary. Those who don’t get enough sleep also don’t exercise, eat more and eat more inappropriate foods, he said. The effects were reversible after nine days of recovery sleep and the readjustment of the body’s internal clock, the study showed.

Bankruptcy Continued from A1 The bankruptcy essentially stemmed from the dispute with Bank of America over terms of loans and a line of credit Western Communications obtained to pay for The Bulletin’s building and press and to buy a newspaper in Sonora, Calif. Loan agreements required Western Communications to meet certain profit ratios. When the company failed on two separate occasions, once in 2007 and again in 2009, Bank of America called in the note and essentially doubled the interest rate, to about 12 percent. The rate eventually dropped nearly 3 percentage points, but the additional interest and fees cost Western Communications about $2 million. The company filed its first reorganization plan and disclosure statement in November. It called for repaying Bank of America, the largest creditor, over 30 years at 4.5 percent interest. Bank of America, whose claim has reached about $20 million, according to court documents, objected in early January. The bank said Western Communications’ first plan failed to explain how it would meet future payments, given that “the traditional hardcopy newspaper business is currently facing an existential challenge to its very future,” Mark Northrup, attorney for Bank of America, wrote in the Jan. 3 response. In an amended plan, Western Communications stated

Summit Continued from A1 DeWittie also worked as a talented and gifted specialist in Portland Public Schools between 1999 and 2003, according to her résumé. DeWittie graduated in 1978 from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s degree in music education. She also holds a master’s of education from the University of Portland and a Ph.D. in education from George Fox University. DeWittie did not know her salary, but the posted pay range for the position was between $108,300 and $117,528, an amount including retirement benefits. Finding Baker’s replacement has not been easy for the district. In the winter, the district launched a search and whittled a list of applicants to four finalists. DeWittie was among that group.

that small and medium-sized newspapers have an excellent future. It mentioned a study conducted at the University of Missouri that readers prefer to get their news from community newspapers and pointed out that Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has invested in the industry, buying the Omaha World-Herald. Western Communications has also moved into digital media, according to the company’s amended disclosure statement, signed by Gordon Black, president of Western Communications and publisher of The Bulletin. Western Communications’ second largest creditor, Page Cooperative, a nonprofit association that helps negotiate discounts for newsprint and other supplies for its members, has a claim for about $603,000. All other claims listed in the plan, except for administrative expenses, total about $125,000, according to court records. No objections to the amended plan were filed, and all those with an interest in the case approved the plan, Black said. An attorney for Bank of America attended the hearing via telephone, he said, instead of traveling to Portland from his office in Seattle. The plan officially becomes effective July 1, Black said, but with the judge’s confirmation Wednesday, the company can now fully focus on economic conditions rather than the bank. “We’re moving forward,” he said. — Reporter: 541-383-0360 tdoran@bendbulletin.com

The finalists all visited the district and went through a daylong interview. Bend-La Pine officials visited one of the finalist’s districts but never made a final offer, according to Bend-La Pine spokeswoman Julianne Repman. In March, the district reopened the search and received about eight new applicants, according to Repman. This time, Bend-La Pine officials visited DeWittie’s district and came away “really wild with what they saw,” Bend-La Pine Deputy Superintendent John Rexford said. According to Repman, the Summit applicant pool was the strongest the district has ever had for a principal opening. “We were fortunate we had a deep and exceptional group of finalists,” Repman said. — Reporter: 541-633-2161, pcliff@bendbulletin.com

CAMPAIGN 2012

Romney aims to narrow gender gap By Ashley Parker And Trip Gabriel New York Times News Service

Mitt Romney moved Wednesday to confront one of his most vexing general election problems — how to narrow the gender gap he faces against President Barack Obama — but his campaign immediately found itself squeezed between its intensifying efforts to appeal to women and its need to avoid alienating conservatives. Female voters have emerged as one of Romney’s largest vulnerabilities. A Washington Post/ABC News poll this week showed that women preferred Obama to Romney by 19 percentage points, and an earlier Gallup/USA Today poll of voters in 12 key swing states showed Obama leading overall, buoyed by independents and women — two critical voting blocs. Now, in the face of mounting attacks from Democrats and the Obama campaign, Romney is taking steps to address that gender gap head-on. In the past week, his campaign has devised a threepronged strategy, which it finalized Tuesday night, advisers familiar with the internal discussions said. They will try to debunk the notion that Romney’s policies have hurt

Mitt Romney waves before addressing an audience during a campaign event in Warwick, R.I., on Wednesday. Romney has turned his campaign focus to appeal to female voters.

women, turn the criticism back on Obama and outline how they believe women have suffered under his administration, and brand those issues in a memorable way. But the campaign stumbled Wednesday: Top Romney aides, questioned on the Lilly Ledbetter

Fair Pay Act signed by Obama, which makes it easier for women to sue in equal pay cases, seemed uncertain of how to respond when a reporter asked about Romney’s position on it during a campaign conference call. While the campaign later re-

leased a statement saying Romney supports pay equity, the law is opposed by conservatives whom Romney is trying to rally for the general election. The Democrats, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to email news releases citing Ledbetter’s “shocked and disappointed” reaction. As the Romney campaign pivots to the general election, his aides will reintroduce him to voters, warming up his image by emphasizing his role as a devoted father and husband. Romney’s wife, Ann, has already begun to talk about how women tell her that they care deeply about the economy, where the campaign wants to keep its focus. But the Obama campaign is simultaneously trying to make sure voters hear about every conservative stance — especially those involving women’s issues — that Romney took during his party’s primary race. Wednesday, it released a “greatest hits” video featuring some of his oft-repeated comments — “Planned Parenthood, we’re going to get rid of that” — that will surely be repeated as he tries to appeal to swing voters in November.

With Santorum out, Obama campaign readies for bitter fight By Ben Feller The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For all the turmoil of the long primary season, President Barack Obama is right where he expected to be: taking on Mitt Romney and targeting him as a wishy-washy protector of the rich. With the November outcome likely to hinge on the economy, Obama will now engage more directly with the help of an experienced, well-financed campaign organization. The campaign for the White House took on a decidedly different feel on Wednesday, a true two-man race for the first time. Yet even as Republican Rick Santorum’s withdrawal a day earlier changed the dynamic, beginning the general election in earnest, the contours of the Romney-Obama race had already been becoming clear.

Both sides will keep pounding voters with ferocious arguments over who has the best vision for jobs, economic security and giving Americans a shot at a better life. In sharp and steady doses, directly or through aides, Obama and Romney will also accuse the other of being dishonest with voters and out-of-touch with their daily woes. Everything gets faster and louder now. Obama will pick his spots in targeting Romney directly until the election draws closer, needing to juggle the demands of his job and eager to remind everyone that he is the one who is already the president. Obama’s Chicago-based campaign, meanwhile, will be working vigorously to challenge Romney and try to define him. In a sign of the bitter fight ahead,

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina went after Romney the day the race was joined: “The more the American people see of Mitt Romney, the less they like him and the less they trust him.” The Obama campaign followed that on Wednesday with a video of some of Romney’s most divisive or awkward moments during the Republican primaries, titled: “Mitt Romney: Memories to last a lifetime.” The events that shape the race may well be surprises to the candidates as well as everyone else, like the economic collapse of late 2008. If the campaigns have their way, however, the narratives are set: Romney assailing Obama as an economic failure who had his shot, and Obama depicting Romney as one who would gut middle-class America.

Essentially, Obama has already been running against Romney, who fell short in his 2008 effort to win the GOP nomination. Every time Obama talks about millionaires paying a fairer share in taxes to help all of America, as he did again Wednesday, it is meant as a contrast to Romney and his vision. Vice President Joe Biden has been out giving a battery of campaign speeches that take on Romney, including another one today in New Hampshire. Even before Santorum bowed out this week, Obama had been trying to define the election as a clear, basic choice. His pitch is that Romney will revert to a harmful trickle-down, let-people-flail philosophy instead of spending tax dollars on core priorities and using the government as an enforcer of fairness for all.

Evangelicals move to back Romney Rick Santorum had been the last best hope of Christian conservatives who opposed Mitt Romney, derided by many as a “Massachusetts moderate.” Now, facing the abrupt end of Santorum’s presidential bid, some evangelical leaders have begun to rally behind Romney, saying their shared hostility toward President Barack Obama will be a powerful force for uniting the party in November. In one sign of coalescing support from Christian conservatives, the National Organization for Marriage, a leading opponent of same-sex marriage, endorsed Romney on Wednesday morning. The group called Romney a “true champion” and said that Obama “has done virtually everything in his power to undermine the institution of marriage.” But the wholehearted support of evangelicals, who accounted for nearly one-fourth of all ballots cast in recent presidential elections, will not come without conditions, some leaders warned. During the bitterly fought primary campaign, many conservatives questioned the depth of Romney’s opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage and government spending. They say that to win the presidency, Romney may need a fired-up base to produce a large evangelical turnout in swing states like Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.

Like ‘eating your vegetables’ If Romney is to generate more excitement and sacrifice from Christian conservatives, he must “demonstrate a genuine and solid commitment to the core values issues,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. “Intensity is going to be a big problem for Mitt Romney,” he said, comparing an obligatory vote for Romney, to avoid the alternative of Obama, to “eating your vegetables.” Romney, a range of evangelical leaders said, must not waver in his support for conservative principles if he hopes to tap the energies of Christian conservatives in the general campaign. But he also needs independent votes to win, said Whit Ayres, a Republican strategist and founder of North Star Opinion Research in Alexandria, Va. So Romney must deftly walk a political tightrope, keeping the focus on economic issues with broad appeal, Ayres said. Romney’s aides are exasperated by the skepticism, because he has formally checked the right conservative boxes. Peter Flaherty, a senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said in an interview Tuesday that if Romney secured the nomination, he would reach out to conservatives who had opposed him, nurturing ties. “We are going to sit down with everybody involved with the other candidates’ campaigns,” he said. — New York Times News Service

Few options as N. Korea nears launch By Mark Landler and Jane Perlez New York Times News Service

With North Korea poised to launch a long-range missile despite a widespread international protest, the Obama administration is trying to play down the propaganda value for North Korea’s leaders and head off criticism of its abortive diplomatic opening to Pyongyang in late February. The White House is readying a blunt response to a launching by North Korea, which will include, as it has warned, the suspension of a food-aid agreement announced just six weeks ago, a senior official said Wednesday. The United States also plans to rally worldwide condemnation of the launching, which Pyongyang insists is intended to put a satellite into orbit, but which Washington says would be a breach of its international obligations. Beyond that, however, the administration’s options are limited. The United States will not seek further sanctions in the U.N. Security Council, this official said, because North Korea is already heavily sanctioned and Washington needs to preserve its political capital with China and Russia to win their backing for future measures against Syria and Iran. With North Korea saying it had begun fueling the rocket, the launch appeared imminent, confronting the Obama administration with a new diplomatic crisis after an agreement that U.S. officials had hoped would open a new chapter with a traditionally hostile and unpredictable nation. White House officials moved aggressively to deflect criticism of that deal, which offered North Korea food aid in return for a pledge to suspend work on its uranium enrichment program and to allow international inspectors into the country. Unlike the administration of President George W. Bush, this official said, the Obama administration did not give the North Koreans anything before they violated the agreement by announcing plans to go ahead with the satellite launching. And, he add-

Unha-3

New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — Police officers at the University of California, Davis, should not have used pepper spray on protesters who had set up camp in the middle of campus as part of the Occupy movement in November, according to an investigation of the episode by a campus task force. In a 190-page report released Wednesday, the task force concluded that the pepper-spraying incident Nov. 18 “should and could have been prevented.” The report details a pattern of miscommunication and describes campus leadership as inadequate. The episode last fall garnered worldwide attention, particularly on social media, as images showed Lt. John Pike of the campus police calmly releasing pepper spray on a group of seemingly peaceful protesters sitting on the ground. Campus police had sued to prevent the release of the report, saying that it amounted to an internal investigation, and subsequent court hearings delayed the release by more than a month. The university agreed to remove the names of most police officers from the report. Administrators repeatedly said they were particularly concerned that protesters who did not attend UC Davis would flood the campus and endanger students. The campus police chief, Annette Spicuzza, estimated that 80 percent of protesters camping in the campus quad were not students. But that was immediately challenged by student affairs administrators, who had spent time talking with the protesters and said that the vast majority of campers were students. The investigation found that the counterargument was largely ignored and administrators reiterated their concern for students. “We were worried especial-

ed, the administration expects the North Koreans to abide by the other terms of the deal. Still, for President Barack Obama, who prided himself on not falling into the trap of previous presidents in dealing with North Korea, the diplomatic dead end has been proof that a change in leadership in Pyongyang has done nothing to change its penchant for flouting U.N. resolutions, pay-

ly about having very young girls and other students with older people who come from the outside without any knowledge of their record,” Chancellor Linda Katehi told investigators. “If anything happens to any student while we’re in violation of policy, it’s a very tough thing to overcome.” But the task force concluded that the concern for outsiders threatening safety was “not supported by any evidence.” The investigation also found that even if the concern for safety was valid, it “would not justify ordering the immediate dismantling of the encampment” and that more alternatives should have been considered. The report also blames Katehi for not effectively communicating that she expected a “limited operation” in which the police demanded that the tents be taken down with the instruction that they “use no other force.” No administrator took responsibility to understand how the police operation would be handled. While Spicuzza told her officers not to wear riot gear, they did not listen. Several police officers said past experience had led them to predict the use of batons and pepper spray. The police were also urged to start the operation at night but interpreted the chancellor’s comments as a demand to begin removing the tents at 3 p.m. Friday, just a few days after they were erected. The report said that the legal basis for removing the tents during the day remained unclear, since the prohibition was for overnight camping. The task force was led by Cruz Reynoso, a law professor at UC Davis and former California Supreme Court justice, and relied heavily on an investigation conducted by Knoll, a private firm hired by the University of California.

ing no heed to its biggest patron, China, and reneging on deals with the United States. Moreover, administration officials said they feared that the missile launching could be the first in a series of provocations, which could include the test of a nuclear bomb possibly fueled by highly enriched uranium. A nuclear test would almost certainly force the administration to go to the U.N.

Security Council, they said. “North Korea should stop engaging in these types of provocative and destabilizing actions,” said a spokesman for the National Security Council, Tommy Vietor. “We’d like to see nations that have close relations with North Korea consider what else they could do to send a clear signal to this new leadership that it’s time for them to move in a different

direction.” At a nuclear summit meeting in South Korea two weeks ago, Obama leaned on China’s president, Hu Jintao, to use his leverage to stop the launching. While administration officials said the Chinese were angry with Pyongyang and conveyed that message, it appeared to have not been enough to deter North Korea from a launching it says is intended to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the revered father of the country. For weeks, the administration has had to contend with whispers from Korea experts that somehow, its diplomats were duped; or that the United States did not issue a clear enough warning to the North Koreans that a launching would be unacceptable — a narrative that the North Koreans have helped to propagate. But according to Evans Revere, a former principal deputy assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific affairs at the State Department, the new State Department negotiator for North Korea, Glyn Davies, told the North Koreans that a satellite launching would be a violation of whatever agreement they made, when he sat opposite a veteran North Korean diplomat, Kim Kye Gwan, in late February. “Administration officials have told me that the DPRK side understood clearly and accepted the U.S. position that a satellite launch would be violation of the Feb. 29 agreement’s ban on long range missile tests,” Revere said, using the acronym for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Revere said he had been told by North Korean contacts as early as December that the government planned to launch a satellite. The information was so alarming that he passed it to the administration before Davies traveled to Beijing to meet Kim Kye Gwan, Revere said. The North Korean negotiator left Beijing knowing that if a satellite launching went ahead, the accord would not last, he said.

Panic, but no tsunami, from strong quakes off Indonesia The Associated Press BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — Cries of panic and fervent prayers rang out Wednesday as Indonesians rushed to high ground after two strong earthquakes raised fears of a tsunami. Alerts were raised as far away as Africa and Australia, but the big waves didn’t come. In western Indonesia, distraught women ran into the streets clinging to crying children as back-to-back tsunami warnings revived memories of the 2004 disaster that claimed 230,000 lives in nearly a dozen countries. Sirens sounded along coastlines and warnings spread like wildfire by text messages. Evacuations began immediately, with streets clogged with traffic, especially in Aceh province, where 170,000 people were killed in 2004. The only wave to hit was less than 30 inches high. The U.S. Geological Survey said the first 8.6-magnitude quake was a shallow 14 miles, striking in the sea 270 miles off Aceh’s coast — making it the sixth-largest temblor in the last halfcentury. Just as the region was sighing relief, an 8.2magnitude aftershock followed, again causing only slight damage.

TRAIL UPDATE Have patience, trail users It’s not quite winter, but not quite spring. “We’re still in what we might call the spring inbetween season mode,” which means winter trail maintenance is winding down and we’re still waiting for the spring trails to dry out, said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist. There is still decent snow to be found at high elevations, but expect the snow to be “firm in the morning and softening (in) the afternoons,” said Sabo. Grooming on snowmobile trails at Newberry National Volcanic Monument is essentially finished for the season, as is the Crescent Ranger District. “Some intermittent grooming out at Wanoga and Dutchman (snoparks),” is still taking place when there are cold enough temperatures, said Sabo. Sunday is the last day for grooming on the Virginia Meissner Sno-park ski trails.

pretty, easy • Observe behavior of feathered friends at Camp Polk Meadow Preserve near Sisters By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

he bluebirds were by far my favorite. Perhaps that’s because my birding skills are pretty rudimentary, and beginners are more likely to relate to birds by their color. To sharpen my skills, I joined a group of novice birders at the Hindman Springs day-use area at Camp Polk Meadow Preserve, a birding hot spot northeast of Sisters. We followed an experienced guide on a “birding basics” field trip last week. Some of the 145-acre preserve is open to the public, and you really don’t need a guide to find some winged creatures, but having an expert along certainly helps if you’re interested in identifying them. Birding is a great exercise in observation, and for me, just a good excuse to explore a scenic setting teeming with life. Right from the parking lot at Camp Polk Meadow, a chorus of

EAST CASCADES AUDUBON SOCIETY

— From staff reports

bird songs and trills filled my ears in full surround sound. Zeroing in on its music, I saw a red-winged blackbird immediately — one of the few birds I can identify by myself. “The nice thing about redwinged blackbirds is that they sit still and they tend to sit high,” said guide Carol Wall, a retired anthropologist. She pointed out an evening grosbeak, with its a large, conical bill, sitting in a leafless poplar; then a Townsend’s solitaire on top of a juniper tree, its feathers fluffed up to create warm air pockets around his body on that frigid day. Then, one we all know: “That, my friends, is a bald eagle flying over!” Wall said, and eight pairs of elbows pivoted eight pairs of binoculars toward the sky where she pointed. Wall led us past the frame of a historic barn, where we looked for pygmy nuthatches in the cavities of the beams. See Outing / B6

There are many places to go birding in Central Oregon. If you want guidance:

Wolf, Burnett team up for reality series LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two of TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite producers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dick Wolf (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;?) and Mark Burnett (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorâ&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are joining forces for a new NBC reality show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stars Earn Stripes.â&#x20AC;? Nine celebrities will gather at a top-notch, secret training facility. The contestants will face challenges such as hostage-rescue exercises or placing a laser target atop a mountain. An air date for the show wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t announced.

Hawking makes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Bangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in cameo LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stephen Hawking may have an impeccable understanding of spacetime, but his comedic timing is pretty good, too. At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to recent co-star Simon Helberg on Twitter, who noted the theoretical physicistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;understanding of comedy in relation to timeâ&#x20AC;? during his appearance on CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Bang Theory.â&#x20AC;? And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the first and only time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever hear a brilliant scientist say the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;bonerâ&#x20AC;? on network TV. Even though Hawking suffers from a degenerative disease related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which leaves him almost completely paralyzed and requires him to communicate through a computerized voice, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managed to be a very visible media presence over the years.

Gilbert all right after â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DWTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accident LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Melissa Gilbert is recovering from the mild concussion and whiplash she sustained on the set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With the Starsâ&#x20AC;? on Monday. But despite a trip to the hospital during the taping

of the show, she tells fans sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;all right.â&#x20AC;? Gilbert was performing the pasodoble with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy when she bonked her head on the hardwood dance floor. Though she was able to finish her dance and speak with the judges after, she later told fellow dancers that she was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Newsroom,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;True Bloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to air in June LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The fifth season of HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexy vampires and werewolves and witches and fairies series â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Bloodâ&#x20AC;? will be back on the air June 10, the network announced Wednesday. The first episode of HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Aaron-Sorkin-penned series â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Newsroom,â&#x20AC;? starring the not-quite-as-sexy-but-still-afine-actor Jeff Daniels, will follow two weeks later, on June 24. What can fans expect from Season 5 of â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Blood,â&#x20AC;? which will be series creator Alan Ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last as showrunner? The just-released trailer reveals lots of familiar vampire action, but there will be several news faces in the mix, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Order: SVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? Christopher Meloni, Scott Foley, Kelly Overton and â&#x20AC;&#x153;General Hospitalâ&#x20AC;? star Carolyn Hennesy. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Newsroom,â&#x20AC;? Daniels plays stressed-out news anchor Will McAvoy attempting to remake his show after a staff exodus at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (a thinly veiled version of Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CNN). Supporting cast members include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slumdog Millionaireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? Dev Patel, Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston, Emily Mortimer and Olivia Munn. Expect a lot of media reading between the lines when the series airs.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ THE BULLETIN

A & A

Migraine sufferer is given fresh remedies to chew on Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to respond to the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurting in Virginia Beach, Va.â&#x20AC;? (Feb. 6), who complained that the smell of mint chewing gum triggers her migraines. Many gum chewers, like me, have good reasons for doing it. I chew gum on planes because it helps reduce sinus pressure, thus preventing my own headaches. I am also a former smoker, and gum-chewing is a healthier alternative to tobacco. If â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurtingâ&#x20AC;? explained her situation to me, I would certainly abide by her request to not chew, although I would find it uncomfortable to go without for long. I recommend she carry several packs of non-mint gum in her purse. When forced into close proximity with a gum-chewer, she could then offer him or her an acceptable alternative. I believe she will almost certainly find people more receptive to her needs that way. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dave in Spring Hill, Fla. Dear Dave: Your commonsense suggestion was the one most often repeated by my readers. I advised â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurtingâ&#x20AC;? that whether at a concert or on a plane, she could ask to be moved away from an â&#x20AC;&#x153;offender.â&#x20AC;? My readers comment: Dear Abby: I propose a different solution. She should purchase one (or several) of those surgical masks that cover the mouth and nose. They come in a variety of styles, and she could surely find one that would block her sense of smell. This way she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to risk a confrontation or depend on a third party to get involved. Once she detects the offensive smell, she can just put on her mask, no one gets bothered and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tim in Salem Dear Abby: I sympathize with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurting.â&#x20AC;? I am a migraine sufferer myself. The smell of many perfumes, lotions, cleaning agents, tobacco smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even some foods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can trigger a migraine. Because it is nearly impossible to control what other people wear, clean with or eat,

DEAR ABBY I have found it much easier over the years to make sure I always carry some medication with me whenever I go out. Being able to take my medication the minute I sense a migraine coming on has prevented many events from ending badly for me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Feeling Her Pain in New York Dear Abby: I have a deadly allergy to oranges. The smell alone can bring me very close to anaphylactic shock, but more often just causes a migraine like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurtingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? I have a small bottle of eucalyptus oil I take with me and place a drop or two under my nose. This will stop the reaction. Hope this information helps. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vernelle in California Dear Abby: Your advice was spot on as far as asking the gum chewer to discard the gum, or to be reseated in a theater. But often the house is full, or the plane has no empty seats and no one will switch. As I suffer from similar issues, my father found me a device called a personal air purifier. It hangs around your neck (or sits in your lap) and literally cleans the air you breathe. It is batteryoperated and goes everywhere. It has saved me tons of embarrassment when dealing with other people in small spaces. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rachel in Cherry Hill, N.J. Dear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurtingâ&#x20AC;? needs to take preventive action when she makes her concert reservation. Simply ask for an aisle seat (for her) and the one beside it (where her husband will sit). Of course, it will be slightly more difficult on a plane because of closer quarters, but she can still make sure her husband is sitting between her and the offender as a buffer, which might help a little. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Location, Location, Location â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Thursday, April 12, 2012 By Jacqueline Bigar Let go of a need to have your life work out in a certain way. The more you push, the less likely you will achieve your goals. Accept changes in your immediate environment and make needed adjustments to a transforming status quo. If you are single, your desirability speaks to many people. Make choices accordingly, and keep in mind the type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, your charisma adds many sparks to the relationship. Enjoy the heat. CAPRICORN acts like an authority. The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Take charge and handle a personal matter before it gets out of control. You can let this matter sit on the back burner, but the cost could be far higher than you anticipate. Your innate good will goes far; let others see your intentions. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You juggle many different interests, but you see a continuum in the various areas you are involved with. Use this information to enhance your perspective and ability to deal with an onslaught of information in the future. Tonight: Where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to go. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to continue a discussion, especially if you see an opening. The other party will see you in a new light. For that reason, you might want to open up communication once more. Know that you have a lucky rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot in your back pocket. Tonight: Dinner and discussions. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You finally can witness what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sensed has been going on. A key associate or friend sees you in a different light. Open up communication with a child or loved one. Let a sense of camaraderie permeate your relationships. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Observe the interaction between you and a certain someone. Your instincts will take you to a new realm of thinking, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see your relationship differently. Use care with a major purchase. Tonight: Surprises

or unexpected events come forward. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Listen to your intuitive voice, even if it seems to plot a different path from the one you are on. Sometimes being uncomfortable works well. Be willing to take a grounded risk. You know your limits and how far you can go. Tonight: Trust your judgment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Tension builds as you realize that you are not up to doing something you need to do. A close friend or associate nudges you to take the next step; be sure that you can deal with it. Tonight: Do errands on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You say what you mean, and eventually that message gets through to someone. Your ability to communicate your desires to others draws quite a reaction from them. Sort through the heavy response, and decide what you want to do. Tonight: The answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A change involving funds could be occurring. Your bank might have changed its policies; payments might be due a different day. You will discover a change in the status quo. Be aware of your options. Tonight: Relax. Choose a favorite pastime. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Take an opportunity to reveal your thoughts and explain the depth of what you are feeling. Let go of fear or resistance, as the response will be positive. Do not attempt to get involved in a power play. Tonight: Use the moment to plan or even start your weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not reveal exactly what you are thinking because you could be trying to gauge what others are thinking as well. Do not form judgments until you have all the facts. Act on an unusually strong sense of well-being. Tonight: Get some extra Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A meeting does not need to be awkward. Drop that expectation, and you might be delighted by what follows. Complete errands, and try to get as much done as you can. Getting together with a friend or loved one buoys your spirit. Tonight: Respond to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. ÂŠ 2011 by King Features Syndicate

the plowing operations south of Elk Lake,â&#x20AC;? said Sabo. The plowing will continue into next week. State Highway 46 (snowmobile Trail 5) south of Elk Lake to Crescent Cutoff Road is closed to all traffic. As a note, the winter dog closure is still in effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the summer trail issue, we are still in that spring freeze-thaw mode,â&#x20AC;? said Sabo.

And that means soft, muddy trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avoid those trails, not just the muddy section,â&#x20AC;? Sabo advised. Trails near the snow line are the most prone to negative impact and trail erosion from use too early in the season, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patience is the name of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Sabo. The trails will dry out with warmer days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ask folks: Avoid, avoid,

avoid those trails. Let them melt out and set up on their own.â&#x20AC;? For those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to hit the trails, Sabo suggested checking out Peterson Ridge and Horse Butte for a dry spot to hike this weekend. Black Butte is currently closed to the public for road maintenance.

Camp Polk Ca

Camp Polk Rd.

Continued from B1 Mallards passed overhead. On the stroll down the road toward an old cemetery, Wall and her assistant — both volunteers for the Deschutes Land Trust — discussed bird behavior: Crows are more social than ravens and will more often be found in flocks. European starlings are undesirable, Wall said, because they commandeer other birds’ nests. Warblers tend to be found in trees and shrubs, and they flit around a lot. Then we reached a gate, where public access ends. The lower meadow at Camp Polk is only open for guided tours. The Deschutes Land Trust has restored Whychus Creek there in recent years and the meadow now needs time to heal and grow new plants, said Sarah Mowry, outreach manager for the Deschutes Land Trust, a nonprofit land conservation group. Guides know the best routes around the meadow, she said. Wall asked everyone to spread out, not to walk single file, to avoid developing a trail. We crossed a field of wild rye grass, sagebrush and willows and wandered along the creek. In the recently rehabilitated area next to the water, white-crowned sparrows and juncos picked bugs and seeds from the dirt. It was the first white-crowned sparrow sighting of the season in the meadow, said Wall, who tracks which birds are at what point in their migrations. And somewhere in there, we saw the first of a number of Western bluebirds, a sapphire spot that stood out from the desert-toned palette. It was snowing lightly that day, and the sharp wind bit through several layers of my clothes. Gray clouds curtained off any views beyond the muted desert colors of the Camp Polk Meadow landscape. So, the bright bluebird sitting on a branch of a juniper tree was a treat, like eating creme brulee in front of an open fireplace while a snowstorm rages outside. “The colorful birds are

fun to spot,” said Wall. (We didn’t spot any bright yellow Wilson’s warblers as Wall had hoped, but they could be

showing up soon.) She suggested taking our observation skills beyond the more obvious color and stripes. Birders should look at the build, the beak and the behavior to identify birds. Compare the size of the bird to something you know. Is it about as big as a robin? A raven? How long are its legs? Its tail? Then, if possible, notice the beak, the tool with which the bird preens, pries open nuts, plucks bugs from leaves, drills holes, digs for bugs, etc. You learn something about bird behavior from their beaks: a broad, cone-shaped bill, for example, is a good nut cracker. And, Wall said, notice what the bird is doing. Sparrows tend to be on the ground because they’re getting their nourishment from insects and seeds that fall to the ground. Swallows are usually zipping around in the air. Bluebirds perch somewhere and drop to the ground to get food. All of these details can be a challenge to nail down, considering that the little creatures seem to flutter off as soon as spotted. But whatever traits a birder can remember will help him or her find the bird in an identification book later, to figure out what it was. I asked Wall a philosophical

question: Why should I care what kind of bird it is? It’s part of understanding the place where you live, she answered. For example, someone who likes bluebirds and understands that bluebirds nest in cavities but don’t have beaks with which to create their own would know bluebirds need something like an old snag to live in. And, if there are no old

snags near the birder’s home, that person might install a birdhouse — a makeshift cavity — to lure them in. “It doesn’t really make any difference that you know its name as long as you come to understand that bird,” she said. “We use names as labels that bring together a lot of information. A bird’s name … tells me

where it’s likely to be seen, what it eats, what it needs in terms of life support, habitat.” Or, for someone like me, even if I don’t know the name of the bird, it’s still just nice to be out walking around in a pretty place looking the things that live there. — Reporter: 541-383-0304, aaurand@bendbulletin.com

DESCHUTES COUNTY

Sawyer trial delayed again

DA seeks child support duties

The federal trial for a former Bend Police captain and his wife has been delayed until October. Kevin and Tami Sawyer were indicted in October 2010 on federal charges of money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and making a false statement to a financial institution. The indictment alleges that between January 2004 and January 2009, the couple bilked investors of more than $4.4 million, using investor money to pay personal expenses and to fund their other companies, ventures and property — including cars, credit cards and a house in Mexico. Federal court documents show the jury trial is now set for Oct. 9. The trial was originally slated for January 2011, then in March and December 2011, and then to April 2012. The trial is estimated to take about two weeks. The pair both have received court-appointed counsel because they say they are unable to pay for their defense. Since they were indicted, one or both of the Sawyers have on multiple occasions been allowed to travel to Mexico to care for their property. In July, Tami Sawyer was indicted on charges of felony first-degree criminal mistreatment and aggravated theft. She is due to enter a plea in that case next month.

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

District Attorney Patrick Flaherty is seeking to take over child support enforcement in Deschutes County, reclaiming a function the District Attorney’s Office turned over to the state more than 10 years ago. On Wednesday, Flaherty met with the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners to make the case for the switch,

and to request a budget boost of just under $90,000 to make it possible. Flaherty Until 2000, Deschutes County had one of the best records in the state in seeing that custodial parents received the child support payments they were due, Flaherty told commissioners. Since enforcement

duties were handed over to the Oregon Department of Justice and the state Department of Child Services in 2001, nonpayment rates have climbed significantly, he said. By population, Deschutes is the largest of the 10 counties that have contracted child support enforcement with the state. Crook County runs its enforcement through the Crook County District Attorney’s Office, while Jefferson

County relies on the state. While figures for Deschutes County are difficult to come by, Flaherty’s chief deputy, Mary Anderson, said counties that run their own enforcement see approximately 77 cents out of every dollar owed paid to custodial parents, compared with around 51 cents in counties where the state is responsible for enforcement.

Anneke Bloomfield, nee Siebel, 76, displays a loaf of bread at Trinity Lutheran School in Bend on Wednesday. The loaf was similar to those rationed in The Hague during World War II. Bloomfield, a Jew, grew up in the Netherlands and spent the years during the war hiding in safe houses across the country. Some Trinity students had recently finished reading “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

nneke Bloomfield, nee Siebel, was a young girl living with her family in The Hague at the start of World War II. The Siebels were a Jewish family, and Anneke’s father had begun cutting ties with their neighborhood and family by the time the war began in Europe. That effort only went so far, and Anneke and her three brothers separately spent the war years shifting between

safe homes across the Netherlands. Bloomfield spoke with students at Trinity Lutheran School in Bend for nearly 90 minutes Wednesday. Many of the students had recently read “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Students sat quietly as they listened to Bloomfield’s story. Her father believed cutting ties with their other family and sending his children to a Christian school would insulate them from danger, but as tensions rose in the Netherlands, Bloomfield’s parents

sent their children into hiding at safe homes. During the war, Bloomfield lived with three different families. The trips to each of these homes could be dangerous. Nearing the end of the war, Bloomfield was on her way with other children to homes in the northern part of the country. Suddenly, the bus was bombed and the children fled to nearby homes. A girl who had been sitting next to Bloomfield died in the attack. See Speaker / C6

Deschutes County commissioners said Wednesday they do not want wedding parties to interfere with the mating activities of other mammals and birds. Commissioners were discussing details of a proposed ordinance to allow farmland

owners to rent out their properties for weddings and other commercial events. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife suggested that during migration and nesting seasons, the county should prohibit events in areas used by certain birds and other wildlife. See Rural events / C2

PRINEVILLE — Few doubt that tax incentives played a role in luring high-tech companies like Apple and Facebook to Prineville. As members of the Crook County/Prineville rural enterprise zone, the data center operations are exempt from property taxes on capital investment for 15 years.

The move saves Facebook $2.8 million or more annually. It has yet to be determined how much Apple’s 10,000square-foot facility will save. The county and city don’t view the tax revenues as a loss in light of other benefits the area expects to receive from the companies’ presence. See Tax incentives / C6

Arrest in Bend burglary spree A Bend man was arrested in a series of burglaries that took place Monday and Tuesday evening, Bend Police said. Joseph Clarence Torkelson, 45, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and unlawful entry into a motor vehicle following three separate burglaries that took place in southwest Bend. All three victims witnessed the suspect during the burglaries and provided descriptions to the police. Torkelson matched the description provided by the victims. After further investigation, he was arrested.

Construction set for Route 35 State Route 35 will undergo construction starting May 1, causing delays for motorists. The route, which runs from Mt. Hood to the Hood River area, will undergo construction from milepost 61 to milepost 62, and then from milepost 65 to milepost 68. Work will be done Monday through Friday during daylight hours. Delays may last up to 20 minutes, and the construction will continue through November. Several sno-parks in the area will be closed because of construction, including White River East Sno-park, White River South Sno-park, Teacup Sno-park and Pocket Creek Sno-park.

Continued from C1 “From my review of this, it would be prudent to add it because we do want to protect the nesting situation, especially for golden and bald eagle sites,” said Commissioner Tony DeBone. It’s unclear whether the wildlife provision would prevent any events. Commissioners also spent part of a Wednesday morning meeting discussing whether, and how, to limit noise at these events. They initially decided that noise should not exceed 70 decibels for more than six minutes per hour. By the end of the meeting, it was unclear what noise limit they might

adopt. Commissioners decided to cap event attendance at 500 people, and said they would review how the ordinance is working in fall 2013. Commissioners are scheduled to vote on the ordinance Monday morning. Commissioner Tammy Baney said she was concerned that a specific noise limit would be a burden on the Sheriff’s Office, because deputies might be called out frequently to measure whether weddings and other events exceeded the decibel limit. “I’m concerned we’re adding staff time to the Sheriff’s Office by the decibel issue,” Baney said. “I don’t want to take limited public funds to monitor weekend events. And

We ll s h o t!

I think we’re doing that — we’re essentially asking that the Sheriff’s Office do that.” Commissioner Alan Unger said people will call the Sheriff’s Office to complain about the events regardless of whether the county adopts a specific noise limit. “I don’t know how we can get away from that,” Unger said. “I’m not sure we can get to the right answer that helps him and also allows people to use this effectively.” In the end, commissioners decided to impose a noise limit and require the property owners who hold events to have decibel meters on site. Capt. Tim Edwards of the Sheriff’s Office said requiring event hosts to have deci-

bel meters might help reduce calls to law enforcement. Later on Wednesday, commissioners learned that a 2010 Land Use Board of Appeals decision might require the county to adopt state Department of Environmental Quality noise standards, rather than the 70-decibel limit. Planning staff will present both options — the 70-decibel limit and the state environmental agency’s rule — to commissioners on Monday. Planning Director Nick Lelack said staff members had “not yet determined if (DEQ rules) are more or less restrictive than the 70-decibel standards.” — Reporter: 541-617-7829, hborrud@bendbulletin.com

Child support Continued from C1 Anderson said the two figures are not entirely comparable. Among other differences, the figures in DCS-managed counties include instances where the two parents have not finalized a child support payment plan, or where parents have recently received public assistance. Such cases would remain under state jurisdiction if county commissioners sign off on Flaherty’s proposal, Anderson said, allowing the District Attorney’s Office to tackle the somewhat simpler cases where a parent who has been ordered to pay child support is choosing not to do so. “It’s not that DCS is doing a bad job,” Anderson said. “They

case management specialists and a receptionist. He said the program could initially be located in the jury assembly room adjacent to the District Attorney’s Office. Having a local attorney dedicated to child support enforcement would greatly improve criminal prosecutions of failure to pay child support, Flaherty said. Now, such prosecutions are infrequent, in part because a DOJ attorney must travel from Salem to appear in court. Improved enforcement would pay for itself, he said, in greater economic stability for families and reduced reliance on social services. “I understand that economic times are difficult, but I think we improve the economic health of Deschutes

County with this move,” Flaherty told commissioners. The District Attorney’s Office is in the process of drawing up an agreement with the DOJ that would allow its deputy district attorneys to provide representation for the state in child support cases. Anderson said the agreement is viewed as a temporary measure that would address some enforcement issues until the start of the next fiscal year on July 1. Commissioners said they intend to study the proposal, including gathering input from the local courts and the relevant state agencies, to give it proper consideration when budget discussions begin later this spring. — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammers@bendbulletin.com

just have a very full plate.” Anderson said during the 2011 fiscal year, parents in Deschutes County collected more than $10 million in child support payments. Two-thirds of the cost of child support enforcement is covered by federal funds, with a smaller amount coming from the state. If the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office were to take over enforcement responsibilities, those funds would combine with the $90,000 requested by Flaherty to create an enforcement program with a first-year budget of just under $473,000. Flaherty told commissioners he envisions the program would include one of his deputy district attorneys dedicated to child support duty, two

Fewer police, firefighters on disability, data show By Maxine Bernstein The Oregonian

Don Ryan / The Associated Press

Passengers board a TriMet light rail train in the free-rail zone in downtown Portland on Wednesday. Portland’s regional mass transit agency plans to increase fares and eliminate its free-rail zone in an effort to close a budget deficit.

Portland’s transit agency to cut service amid shortfall By Steven Dubois The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Portland’s regional mass transit agency plans to increase fares by as much as 19 percent and eliminate its free-rail zone in an effort to close a budget deficit. TriMet projects a shortfall of between $12 million and $17 million in its projected $458 million budget for the coming fiscal year. The agency blames the deficit on lower tax revenue, a cut in federal funding and unresolved contract talks with union workers. The agency’s budget proposal released Wednesday would end free rail service through downtown Portland, a move projected to net $2.7 million. The zone — formerly known as “fareless square” — has been a staple of the mass-transit system since it was adopted in the 1970s to fight air pollution. Bus rides were eliminated

from the zone in 2010. “It’s time to change and it’s worth $2.7 million,” said Mary Fetsch, a TriMet spokeswoman. The budget to be voted on by the TriMet board next month would also cut bus service on some lines and boost adult ticket prices to $2.50 for rides on buses, trains and streetcars. They are currently $2.10 or $2.40, depending on the distance of the trip. People interviewed while waiting for trains in a light drizzle Wednesday were split on whether the plan to eliminate the free zone in September was a good idea. Those who live in the suburbs, and must pay to get into downtown Portland, tended to say it was time to end the free rides. “Light-rail isn’t paying for itself; I’d like to see people pay for it,” said Mike Lane, 68, of Beaverton. “It should be self-

sufficient, not subsidized.” But Jaleana Wells, a 24year-old student from Portland, said $2.50 is too pricey for trips that often amount to only a few blocks. She takes the train from one end of the free zone to the other four days a week, a trip that takes 15-to20 minutes. “I don’t really have an income, so it’s going to affect me a lot,” she said. Though TriMet has budget problems, Fetsch said there are no plans to add turnstiles at light-rail and streetcar platforms. The agency relies on people to use the honor system — and the threat of a $175 citation — to buy a ticket before stepping on. The agency, however, recently increased its roster of fare enforcers from 12 to 18. “We think the message that you have to pay your fare or you face a $175 fine is getting out there,” Fetsch said.

The percentage of Portland police and firefighters off work on disability has dropped 44 percent since 2006, the year voters approved reforms to the city’s unique public safety fund. Linda Jefferson, director of Portland’s Fire and Police Disability and Retirement Fund, presented the data in a report to City Council. In 2011, 5.3 percent of the city’s police and firefighter workforce was off duty, collecting disability benefits; compared to 9.5 percent in 2006.

Put another way, in 2006, the fund denied 3 percent of disability claims, approved 95 percent and the remaining 1 percent were withdrawn. In 2011, 9 percent of disability claims were denied; 87 percent were approved and the rest were withdrawn. Further, an average of four fund members a year — representing just over 1 percent of approved disability claims — are transferred from shortterm to long-term disability, meaning they’re out of work for more than a year. The other 99 percent who have disability claims approved are returning to work

within a year, some to limited duty jobs. “Very few members are staying on disability more than a year now,” said Nancy Hartline, the fund’s financial manager. Jefferson also told the council that medical expenses are being contained due to the use of managed health care service providers. Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who helped champion many of the voter-approved reforms, praised the work of the fund’s director and staff, and the stakeholder’s committee that worked for months to recommend the changes.

Corvallis housing director accused of abandoning child in Delaware The Associated Press CORVALLIS — The executive director of the housing authority for Linn and Benton counties is wanted in Delaware on an accusation she abandoned an adopted son. Cleo Klepzig faces a misdemeanor charge of child abandonment, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported. The warrant was issued in 2007 and remains in effect. Before moving to Oregon, Klepzig and her husband lived in Montana with five special-needs children they had adopted.

In an interview with the newspaper, Klepzig acknowledged returning one of the children to Delaware, the state from which he was adopted, and leaving him at an office of the state Family Services Division. Klepzig said the boy had been abusing a sibling and she made many attempts to get him into

a residential treatment facility. Montana authorities said they investigated those claims and found no evidence of abuse. Under Delaware law, there is no accepted process for dissolving an adoption. In a statement released Tuesday, the authority board said it will begin in an internal investigation.

TriMet sued over teen’s sexual abuse The Associated Press PORTLAND — The family of a 14-year-old Portland girl who was sexually abused by a TriMet bus driver is suing the regional transit agency for $1.1 million. The complaint, filed Tuesday in Multnomah County

Circuit Court accuses TriMet management of failing to report the abuse. The Oregonian reports a TriMet spokeswoman says the agency doesn’t comment on litigation. The driver, 54-year-old Christopher Alden Parker,

was convicted of sex abuse charges last year and spent 120 days in jail. The complaint says the transit agency should have known Park was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with the teen who frequently traveled on a bus route that he drove.

No governor vetoes so far SALEM — Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber kept his veto pen stashed this year. The Democratic governor signed all 112 bills passed by the Oregon Legislature this year, the last 22 of them on Wednesday. Since beginning his third term last year, Kitzhaber has vetoed just one bill — a measure sought by the florist industry that he quashed last year, saying it was unconstitutional. Kitzhaber had a tumultuous relationship with the Republican-led Legislature before ending his second term in 2003, and he set a record for vetoes after striking down dozens of bills. The House of Representatives is now evenly divided between the major political parties, and a power-sharing agreement requires that all legislation have bipartisan support before reaching Kitzhaber’s desk.

No coastal damage reported in quake PORTLAND — An earthquake far off the Oregon coast has not caused any reported damage. The 5.9-magnitude quake was reported at about 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday about 160 miles west-northwest of Bandon.

Doug Gibbons of the U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake is not related to two massive earthquakes in Indonesia on Wednesday. Gibbons says the earthquake was about 8 miles below the earth’s surface.

Silverton theater damaged in fire SILVERTON—AWillamette Valley theater that celebrated its 75th anniversary last year has been damaged by fire. Silverton Mayor Stu Rasmussen, one of the co-owners of the Palace Theater, says he suspects a popcorn machine is to blame for the fire Wednesday morning. But the Salem Statesman Journal reports that fire officials haven’t confirmed a cause yet. The fire department says the front of the building was heavily damaged, and the interior suffered moderate to extensive smoke damage. Rasmussen says he and his business partner spent $80,000 recently to improve the theater, including a digital projector and audio system.

State fair housing fails safety check SALEM — It’s back to the drawing board for a planned youth village to house 4-H and FFA students at the Oregon State Fair in Salem. The state Parks and Rec-

reation Department recently suspended fundraising for the village after one demonstration unit failed safety and disability access requirements. The Statesman Journal reports the 570-square foot prototype was built by a private manufacturer and funded with $40,000 in donations. It was put on display at last summer’s fair but not used to house students. The fair is required to provide housing for the 4-H and FFA students. Fair officials have been renting trailers for the students. The number varies from 10 to 100 a day.

Portland flash mob thieves identified PORTLAND — Portland police are making progress identifying individuals in a flash mob that brazenly walked into a convenience store and walked out without paying for candy and soda. KATU reports the surveillance video of the incident Saturday night has helped identify students from three north Portland schools, students from Vancouver, Wash., as well as a church basketball team. The clerk says 16 people strolled into the store and blatantly stole items worth $200 or $300. Some threw things, including a milk crate, at the clerk as they left. — From wire reports

Anonymous evaluations are bad for Sisters

embers of the Sisters City Council have turned the evaluation of City Manager Eileen Stein into an appalling spectacle. Serious allegations have

been made anonymously. The process looks like a version of hide and seek, where the public can do all the seeking it wants, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on remains hidden. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to run a town. The council may vote tonight on Steinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evaluation. Councilors may know what the evaluation document prepared for the meeting means. Stein may, as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to see how anyone else in the community could figure it out. The categories seem appropriate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leadership, relations with the council, fiscal management, communication and so on. Councilors and Stein ranked Stein from one to five, with a five being the best score in the various categories. She got just shy of a three overall from the council. Some comments supporting the ratings in the categories were also included by Stein and two of the councilors. How the councilors rated Stein is not clear. Which councilor wrote what is also not clear. How can a Sisters citizen judge the ranking? Are the ratings of one all from the same person? How about the fives? Not identifying who wrote

what comments brews a similar problem. Some of the comments are blistering. One asserts Stein may have lied or encourage staff to lie about city business. Consider this comment under leadership: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eileen is a terrible role model. It appears that she encourages staff to provide faulty information in order to support her desired outcome. Complete information is not forthcoming. Sometimes it seems she manipulates situations and encourages, or demands staff to do the same. Staff will not talk about any of this. It appears that they are afraid of Eileen.â&#x20AC;? Those are serious allegations. They should not appear without attribution or information to back them up. It is unfair to Stein, to the other councilors and to the public to allow such charges to be made anonymously. We hope the council will be more transparent and circumspect tonight. The meeting is scheduled to begin with a workshop at 6 p.m. The formal meeting is at 7 p.m.

La Pine schools need strong representation

a Pine area residents, we suspect, sometimes feel like the forgotten stepchildren in Bend-La Pine Schools. The 30 miles from district headquarters in downtown Bend to downtown La Pine create real or imagined barriers between southern Deschutes County and the area where most of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students live. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it is so important for the school board to appoint the best possible candidate to replace Tom Wilson, who has represented La Pine on the board for the past 10 years. Being a school board member is no easy task, even for those who must go no farther than across town for meetings. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than enough reading to keep anyone busy, for one thing, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough money available to do everything every board member would like to do. Moreover, money problems have grown worse, not better, in the past few years. A lingering recession has taken a toll on both income and property taxes, which provide the bulk of what school districts have to spend each year. Meanwhile, districtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contribu-

tions to the Public Employee Retirement System â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to which virtually every full-time employee belongs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have jumped and will continue to do so unless some way can be found to, at the very least, slow the trend. The combination means fewer dollars available to hire teachers, classroom assistants and the other staff needed to keep a district running at peak efficiency. It also means that school board members must make truly uncomfortable decisions about where the remaining dollars should go. On top of that, school board members, having made the tough decisions, are often the target of criticism for having done so. The drawbacks notwithstanding, the La Pine seat on the board is a critical one. The area needs strong representation on the board by someone with both brains and a thick enough skin to fend off the occasional barb. It can get that representation if people in the community who believe they have those characteristics apply for the job. The deadline for applications, including letters of interest and rĂŠsumĂŠs, is May 4.

Cut back on spending Daily reminders in The Bulletin point out, how by innocent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; please smile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; definition, government is incompetent. Why? It is simply not accountable, and nobody out there in the vast prairie of our outback gets it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our money, folks, not theirs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there is virtually none left â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that they still waste with abundance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legalâ&#x20AC;? and self-serving apparatus humming along, cleverly arranged by and for only the privileged. Our dollars are being poured into new buildings, parks, arenas, bridges, pools, and the Public Employee Retirement System. Cool off, I say, and wait a few years for better times to roll around again. Use the existing monies to ease the pain, not add to the open wound. Hard to fathom, though, for the trustees of our tax funds.

Modern-day earls and dukes in medieval cloaks are roaming and robbing the middle class of our country. Some are horrific, some are crude, and some are â&#x20AC;&#x153;state of the artâ&#x20AC;? in the so-called civilized world. Too many â&#x20AC;&#x153;wannabesâ&#x20AC;? that have failed in the private sector are attracted to seeking government positions now, which simply breeds disincentives for self-reliance. So, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a party-liner. Keep the self-serving elements out of it. Inform yourselves and cast a vote for common sense and sound judgment.

automobiles. All need to be used responsibly. Pet owners also need to be responsible and educated outside of their asphalt world, if they choose to go there.

Trapping is our heritage

Is bike lane necessary?

Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trapping heritage is why the beaver is on our state flag. Trapping is a viable part of our society. Scientific studies have been done to improve equipment and practices. Regulations have ensued. Google â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trap BMPsâ&#x20AC;? and learn. So what has changed? Why are some trying to remove our freedoms and heritage? Our culture has changed! We have removed ourselves from the land. Live on asphalt and buy our food at a store. Tunnel vision has developed in our own small worlds. Anything that makes us uncomfortable needs to have government intervention or laws for others. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change my little world.

I am writing regarding the proposed bike lanes on Skyliners Road. I noticed your picture of a bicyclist riding outside of the existing bike lane. My feeling is this: Regardless of how wide a bike lane is, too many bicyclists will still ride outside of the bike lane. Are they ever ticketed? I have been driving cars, motor homes and trucks for more than 62 years now. I grew up in western Pennsylvania, riding a bicycle where there was never anything called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bike lane.â&#x20AC;? I knew to ride on the edge of the road away from traffic. Apparently the present generation of bicyclists feel that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hurt. I sincerely hope they all stay out of the way of my 38-foot motor home. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swerve as fast as a bike can. Thank you for reading this. Harold â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halâ&#x20AC;? LeRoy Bend

Sound science and cool heads needed in wolf debate By Gene Keane ecent letters in â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Nickleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worthâ&#x20AC;? got me thinking about the polarization between the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wolf hatersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wolf huggersâ&#x20AC;? in Central Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolves provide no benefitâ&#x20AC;? by Al Phillips (March 26) responded to the March 12 letter by Donna Harris. Phillips states the alltoo-familiar rhetoric of: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no benefit to wolves in Oregon.â&#x20AC;? Harris had quoted valid statistics showing that wolves are responsible for only a small percentage of the total annual economic loss of livestock. Both mentioned the research of Bill Ripple, whose work regarding wolves is based on the reintroduction of the species to Yellowstone National Park. It is easy for me to empathize with ranchers over their loss of livestock to predators; ranchers and their families spend a good deal of their lives tend-

ing to their stock, only to awaken one morning and see what remains after a predator has paid them a visit. The resulting loss is both personal and economic. Then, to pour salt in the wound, the ranching community receives criticism of the very culture that they are proudly a part of. However, it is difficult for me to understand Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statements that, in Oregon, the economic loss can be thought of as an additional tax paid by the livestock owner when a wolf is the culprit. Nor can I agree with his criticism of Rippleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. The research that is being accomplished at Yellowstone is providing new evidence to long-debated theories regarding the interactions of the complicated environmental puzzle pieces, and results of these studies hardly support the arguments of either Phillips or Harris. Oregon HB 3560 provides for the

IN MY VIEW reimbursement to livestock owners for wolf depredation. It also provides funds and encourages stock owners with their implementation of non-lethal management to minimize wolf predation before it occurs. The Wolf Management Compensation and Proactive Trust Fund started with the state of Oregon depositing $100,000 from the general fund, but can be augmented by grants, gifts, endowments, etc. If a coyote, cougar or any predator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; other than a wolf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is responsible for the death or injury of livestock, the rancher bears the entire cost. If the depredation is due to a wolf, the taxpayer foots the bill provided that either the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife or the Federal Wildlife Service verifies the wolf as the cause.

Time will tell if the law produces fair outcomes, but currently it represents a compromise of sorts. Even before HB 3560, ranchers were reimbursed for wolf predation from a fund provided by the Defenders of Wildlife. However, ranchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resulting expenses go beyond this reimbursement, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree with the wolf or no-wolf depredation call made by the ODFW or the FWS. Central Oregon has not been classified by the state as an area of known wolf activity; therefore, loss or injury to livestock can be compensated from the fund even if no pre-existing wolf deterrence techniques are in place. Both Jefferson and Crook counties have formed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or are in the process of forming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wolf advisory committees as required by HB 3560. This law requires that the committees be in place to receive funds to compensate local

stock ranchers for wolf depredation. The only known recent wolf visits locally were by the infamous OR-7 when he passed through Deschutes County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and maybe Crook County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on his continuing journey, and OR3, which wandered close to Fossil, cut through the southeast corner of Jefferson County and then disappeared from radio signal somewhere in Crook County. Wolves are in Oregon to stay, and choosing sides as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wolf huggerâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wolf haterâ&#x20AC;? accomplishes little. In Central Oregon, both sides need to get together with facts and good science, and we need to educate ourselves before we find ourselves mired in the kind of issues that have arisen in the northeastern part of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gene Keane, of Madras, is a member of the Jefferson County Wolf Advisory Committee.

Shift in perception noted at climate change event By Scott Learn The Oregonian

About 300 people gathered in a Portland State University ballroom Tuesday night to hear three Oregon climate scientists make their case that increases in manmade greenhouse gases are driving climate change. The event hosted by the Oregon chapter of the American Meteorological Society, was open to the public. It came in response to a January panel of global warming skeptics hosted by the chapter that event organizers estimated drew about 500 people. The audience flip-flopped from January, when mostly skeptics attended. Chapter President Steve Pierce asked for a show of hands beforehand Tuesday evening, then estimated that at least 90 percent of the crowd favored the statement that human activities are the main cause of global warming. The three panelists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Christina Hulbe of Portland State and Phil Mote and Andreas Schmittner of Oregon State University â&#x20AC;&#x201D; focused on the science behind predictions of increased global warming,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of us would like to believe that humans are not affecting the global climate, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what we want to believe, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what the evidence tells us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Phil Mote, Oregon State University

pointing to drops in the extent of Arctic sea ice since 1979, worldwide shrinking of glaciers, increased temperatures in the 20th century and increased water vapor consistent with rising temperatures. Sun cycles, cosmic ray activity, increased urbanization and natural variability, including the El Nino-La Nina cycle, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the measured temperature increases, they said. The vast majority of published climate scientists and scientific bodies support the theory that rising greenhouse gases will drive significant temperature increases, though they acknowledge uncertainties about important climate variables, such as cloud formation.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of us would like to believe that humans are not affecting the global climate,â&#x20AC;? said Mote, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what we want to believe, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what the evidence tells us.â&#x20AC;? The relative flattening of already high global temperatures in the last decade comes from natural climate influences, such as recent La Ninas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporarily overcoming the influence of rising greenhouse gases,â&#x20AC;? he said. The late 20th and early 21st centuries â&#x20AC;&#x153;are likely the warmest period the Earth has seen in at least 1,200 years,â&#x20AC;? NOAA says. The panelists Tuesday focused on potential increases in global average temperature of roughly 3 degrees to 7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. Ice Age climate reconstructions indicate increases in that range could have a dramatic effect on the planet, Schmittner said. Pierce said the chapter will post the speakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; presentations on its Web site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ametsoc.org/chapters/oregon. As a national body, the American Meteorological Society asserts that human activities are â&#x20AC;&#x153;a major contributor to climate change,â&#x20AC;? while the Oregon chapter has decided to take â&#x20AC;&#x153;no formal positionâ&#x20AC;? on global warming.

Tramielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commodore made home computing affordable By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

Jack Tramiel, a hard-charging, cigar-chomping tycoon whose inexpensive, immensely popular Commodore computers helped ignite the personal computer industry the way Henry Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Model T kickstarted the mass production of automobiles, died Sunday in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 83. The cause was heart failure, his son Sam said. Commodore rose to prominence in the 1970s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, producing the first computer to sell a million units. Another model, the Commodore 64, sold more than 20 million units â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four times the sales of the Apple II, which is often said to have established the personal computer market. Sales of the 64 exceeded $1 billion. Tramielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business model was ruthlessly efficient: He introduced a new product at the lowest price possible, and as the competition matched his price he went even lower. He did this by slashing costs, hiring top engineering talent, selling in mass-market stores like Kmart, and owning the suppliers of components. He changed directions in an instant, going so far as to introduce a new product even if it hurt sales of an existing one. He liked to say that business is war. Tramielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boldness was suggested by a full-page newspaper advertisement he ran in 1983 when Commodore was flying highest: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commodore Ate the Apple.â&#x20AC;? In fact, Tramiel had so little use for Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis on design elegance and technical sophistication that Time magazine called him the â&#x20AC;&#x153;anti-Steve Jobs.â&#x20AC;? Tramiel wanted affordable, easy-to-use computers in every home; he spoke of serving â&#x20AC;&#x153;masses, not classes.â&#x20AC;? In 1980 Commodore leapfrogged its competition by introducing the VIC 20, the first home computer selling for less than $300. Commodore manufactured 9,000 units a day, making it the first computer to sell more than a million units. Tramiel introduced the Commodore 64 in 1982. It offered 64 kilobytes of memory compared with the 46 offered by the Apple II, and sold for half as much. The 64 had color graphics and was the first personal computer with an audio synthesizer chip.

Kevin Lunny holds a Pacific oyster at the Drakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Oyster Co. in Point Reyes National Seashore, Calif. Scientists blame higher levels of carbon dioxide in Pacific Ocean waters caused by man-made global warming for the failure of oysters to produce young at an Oregon hatchery.

Research blames climate change for West Coast oyster die-off By Craig Welch The Seattle Times

Researchers for the first time have found definitive evidence that changing ocean chemistry from increased carbon-dioxide emissions are at least partially responsible for massive oyster die-offs in the Pacific Northwest. The research published Wednesday by scientists from Seattle and Oregon State University is the first anywhere to show that increasingly corrosive seas already are killing marine organisms in North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the smoking gun for oyster larvae,â&#x20AC;? said Richard Feely, an oceanographer and leading marine-chemistry researcher with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Seattle and one of the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the clearest experimental evidence yet that lower pH is making oysters die.â&#x20AC;?

Said Alan Barton, another of the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now an incontrovertible fact that ocean chemistry is affecting our larvae.â&#x20AC;? Since 2005, wild oysters along the Washington coast and oysters at a commercial shellfish hatchery in Oregon have been dying by the billions. Leading scientists long have suspected that one of the causes is the increasing corrosiveness of ocean waters that frequently rise up from the deep during high winds to lap against the shore. Scientists long have predicted that as carbon dioxide from greenhouse gas emissions get taken up by the seas, the chemistry of ocean waters would slide toward the acidic side of the pH scale. Feely and other researchers in 2007 and 2008 were among the first to show that ocean pH along the West Coast already had dropped more than had been expected for decades.

But it was always possible that the waters hitting the oyster-rich shores of Willapa Bay or being drawn into seaside hatcheries was either too warm or carrying bacteria or other pollutants that were killing oysters before they had a chance to form their shells. But in their new paper published in the journal Limnology and Oceanography, researchers were able to control for temperature and bacteria and other factors. When ocean water lower in pH got sucked directly into the Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery in Netarts Bay, the oysters died. When the pH was higher, oysters survived just fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not just some lab experiment,â&#x20AC;? Barton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is real ocean water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from today, not from some predicted future â&#x20AC;&#x201D; impacting shell formation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty important finding.â&#x20AC;?

Seattle teacher accused of choking teen The Seattle Times A teacher at a South Seattle alternative high school was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly slapped and choked a 17-year-old student, according to Seattle police. The 44-year-old teacher at South Lake High School has been placed on paid administrative leave, according to Seattle Public Schools. District

officials declined to name the man, who has been at the school for 15 years. Seattle police were called to the school, at 8825 Rainier Ave. S., at noon for a report of the attack, police spokeswoman Renee Witt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher was teaching when the victim and another student were in the back of the classroom talking. He

told them to knock it off,â&#x20AC;? Witt said. The teacher then walked up to the student and confronted him, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher basically grabbed the student by the neck and choked him out,â&#x20AC;? Witt said. When police arrived, the student was in the school nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. He then was taken to a hospital, police said.

Tax incentives Continued from C1 Jason Carr, Prineville’s manager of economic development for Central Oregon, explained the benefits at the county’s What’s Brewing? weekly forum Wednesday morning. “In a perfect world, we would not have tax incentives,” Carr said. “For us, we see (tax incentives) as an important tool to attract and retain businesses.” The morning meeting drew a crowd of about 30 residents. The night before, both entities unanimously voted to admit Apple’s recent property purchase off Baldwin Road into their rural enterprise zone. Carr said that not only does Prineville reap a 5 percent franchise fee for companies in the zone, the city and county also require annual community fees from companies throughout the life of their exemption. He estimated the community fees to be between $100,000 and $300,000. Carr said the city’s annual revenue from fees could exceed $1 million if the data industry continues to expand within the next several years. There’s also the property taxes the county accrues from

“Our job is to grow the local economy. We want to make sure these are companies that are excellent community partners.” — Jason Carr, manager of economic development for Central Oregon, Prineville

businesses in the zone. Though the zone provides a 15-year tax hiatus on capital investment, the land itself is still taxed, Mayor Betty Roppe explained. Apple’s purchase of countyowned land creates revenue that wouldn’t be there otherwise, said Roppe. Carr added that the $26,162 Facebook paid is based on the assessed value of its land in 2011-12. Carr said the companies’ capital spending, investment and jobs also create income at county, regional and state levels. Apple’s enterprise zone agreement requires the company to invest $250 million and employ at least 35 workers within several years of operation. An economic analysis by

EDCO concluded approximately $75.6 million in capital spending has been accrued statewide because of Facebook’s arrival. Approximately 234 Central Oregon jobs have also been created, the analysis said. Roppe said the infrastructure the industry provides is also a boon to the region. The enterprise zone does not include reduced system development fees or reductions in infrastructure costs, she said. “They pay 100 percent of the costs for the use of water, power, sewer and fiber connectivity. They have raised the bar for our infrastructure,” which will continue to help the area beyond the 15-year mark. If Facebook is any indicator, data centers are also good community partners, Carr said. The company has contributed about $100,000 to community nonprofits each year and about $340,000 to the Jefferson County School District since starting operation. “Our job is to grow the local economy,” said Carr. “We want to make sure these are companies that are excellent community partners.” — Reporter: 541-383-0376, dtaylor@bendbulletin.com

Speaker Continued from C1 Bloomfield also spent stretches of time at home with her parents. Bloomfield said her father was a member of the underground and she used to run messages to other members in the area. During one of these trips, Bloomfield witnessed two men attempt to flee Nazi soldiers. The men were pushed against the wall of an underpass and shot dead. The danger entered the Siebel home, too. Bloomfield described repeated searches by soldiers. During one, a “huge” soldier passed room-toroom. The family had a crawl space underneath the kitchen, and the soldier fired his rifle into the floor instead of opening the entrance. The soldier paused, looked at Bloomfield’s mother and said, “Well, if you’re hiding anybody, it sure isn’t living anymore.” Bloomfield also detailed the scant food she ate during the war. At home, her father used a small mill to grind flour and the family struggled to stay fed

Trinity Lutheran School student Brendan Kirk, 14, samples a tulip bulb, one of the foods that Anneke Bloomfield foraged for during her stay at a safe home in the Netherlands. “It tasted gross,” Kirk said.

on miniscule rations. At the final safe home, Bloomfield often scrambled for food in nearby fields, digging up small vegetables and tulip bulbs. “I became a good little thief,” she said. Bloomfield, 76, who lives near Portland, has described

her experience more than 200 times and plans to keep doing so. “It’s still happening again,” she said, pointing to places like Darfur. “I want to educate young people.” — Reporter: 541-633-2161, pcliff@bendbulletin.com

More ire for road closures in Baker City The Associated Press BAKER CITY — Many of the scores of people who showed up for U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley’s town hall meeting in Baker City wanted to talk about the Forest Service plan to bar most motor vehicles from about 3,600 miles of roads in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Some had questions or

concerns; others were plainly unhappy. Mayor Dennis Dorrah described the plan as “a horrible, horrible thing.” He told Merkley on Monday that road closures would make it impossible for irrigation officials to reach diversion dams. He says the Forest Service has told him he has standing to file an appeal and plans to do so.

Officials hope that closing the designated roads will help preserve habitat for wildlife and fish. The plan is due to take effect in June. Rozanne Shanks told the Oregon Democrat she’s frustrated because access to her subdivision appears curtailed. Merkley says he’s worried about how the Forest Service will enforce the plan.

Bend High sweeps Redmond

Cougars use pair of rallies to take two from Storm

Bulletin staff report A track season so far plagued by foul weather finally provided a break Wednesday afternoon. And between a mid-afternoon rain shower and an early-evening hailstorm, Class 5A Bend High and Class 6A Redmond squeezed in a competitive Intermountain Hybrid dual meet on the Lava Bears’ home track. “It was just nice to have everybody get out and get a mark,” said Bend coach Matt Craven. “With the weather being like it’s been, and meets getting canceled … this was our first dual meet. It was neat to see everyone’s marks.” Adding to the delight for Craven was the fact that both his boys and girls teams prevailed against the Panthers. See Track / D5

Bulletin staff report Not once but twice Mountain View rallied past Summit on Wednesday, sweeping a Class 5A Intermountain Conference softball doubleheader on the Cougars’ home field. Mountain View won the opening contest 10-9 after scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and took the second game 8-7 with a three-run at-bat in the sixth. “This has been a really fun group to work with,” said Cougars coach Mike Durre, whose team is now 7-4 on the season. “We’ve been in a lot of these games where we get down, but they just keep battling.” In the first game, Kylie Durre scored from second base off a two-out single by Carrieann Elms to complete the Cougars’ rally.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

WACO, Texas — The NCAA put Baylor on three years of probation Wednesday after an investigation turned up hundreds of impermissible telephone calls and text messages sent to prep recruits by coaches and assistants on the basketball teams. The violations were considered to be major infractions, and they were announced less than a week after the Lady Bears won the national championship with the first 40-0 season in NCAA history. Still, it could have been much worse for Baylor. All of the penalties were proposed by the school and accepted by the NCAA after a review of nearly 900,000 phone and text message records found that 738 texts and 528 calls were against the rules. The NCAA said men’s coach Scott Drew failed to monitor his program and will be suspended for two Big 12 games next season, in addition to recruiting restrictions. Women’s coach Kim Mulkey also received recruiting restrictions. The report put a bit of a damper on what has been an extraordinary run of success for Baylor athletics. Besides Baylor’s win over Notre Dame for the women’s title, Drew’s team won a schoolrecord 30 games and reached the NCAA regional finals, where the Bears lost to eventual national champion Kentucky. And all that came after star quarterback Robert Griffin III became the school’s first Heisman Trophy winner following a football season that included 10 wins for the first time since 1980. Mulkey was named the AP’s national coach of the year and junior Brittney Griner was its player of the year. How Baylor recruited Griner, one of the most dominant women’s players in college basketball history, was reportedly part of the NCAA probe.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL COMMENTARY

Frustration on the Fall • The popular Central Oregon river can often be a challenge for fly anglers

NBA draft rules are bad for the game By Paul Newberry

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

Doug Vakoc directed me to a deep section of the stream near a footbridge. “There’s a big one right there, and a smaller one just behind,” he said, pointing to two rainbow trout in the crystal-clear Fall River. “Cast over there and let it drift down right in

front of them.” Caddis flies were hatching, so I cast a small caddis pattern upstream, aiming to let it float directly above the fish. The problem was, the fish were not rising to the water’s surface for anything, and they did not seem to have a taste for nymphs below the surface either.

Vakoc, a longtime fly fisherman and member of the Sunriver Anglers, noted the smarts of the fish in the Fall River. “They’ve seen it all,” he said. I commented on how frustrating it was to locate the fish just a few feet away and not be able to hook them. “That,” Vakoc said, “is sometimes the story of the Fall River, I’m afraid.” See Fall / D6

ow that March Madness is over, we can move on to the real madness. We’re talking about the ludicrous system that the pros and colleges conspired on to make prep stars spend an extra year passing themselves off as students, denying them the chance to start playing hoops for a living right out of high school. They hold nationally televised spectacles to announce where they will pretend to go to college next season. Decisions are made on where is the best place to run some pickand-rolls, pull off a few spectacular dunks and maybe win a championship before getting on to the real task at hand: making it big in the NBA. And now since the NBA and the NCAA can’t even agree when that is — they are bickering over dueling deadlines for players to declare themselves eligible for the draft — this seems like a good time to scrap this farce of a system altogether. Two of the system’s latest victims, I mean, two of the latest crop of top prep stars — Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel — made their announcements Wednesday night. Muhammad went first, picking UCLA over his other finalists, Duke and Kentucky. No word on whether he would have chosen the NBA if that had been an option. See Draft / D5

BMX Great Northwest Nationals roll into Redmond By Amanda Miles The Bulletin

The USA BMX Great Northwest Nationals is making its return to Central Oregon this weekend. The three-day bicycle motocross competition begins Friday and continues through Sunday at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. The racing kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday with a “prerace” event. The “nationals” events start at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Each day of competition is considered a stand-alone event. The Great Northwest Nationals is one of about 28 such nationals events

taking place this year, says Tracy Stevens, of Redmond, one of the event organizers. The nationals are staged throughout the United States and also in Canada. The Redmond event, which is in its fifth year, has drawn about 1,200 riders per day the past couple of years, Stevens says. Most of this year’s participants will come primarily from Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia, Stevens observes, while others will travel from Idaho and New Mexico. “The bulk of them will be that Northwest, drivable area,” Stevens says.

• Kinsler, Texas strike $75M deal: Ian Kinsler and the Texas Rangers finalized a $75 million, five-year contract through 2017 that locks up another one of the team’s key players and makes the leadoff hitter one of the best-paid second basemen. The player, who had stops at three different schools while in college before being drafted by the Rangers, is now in his seventh season with Texas. His new deal begins in 2013 and includes a club option for 2018. Kinsler is a two-time All-Star who twice in the past three seasons had 30 homers and 30 stolen bases. • Rays’ pitcher hit in head: Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Jeremy Hellickson was released from the hospital after he was hit in the head by a ball during batting practice before Wednesday’s game at Detroit. Manager Joe Maddon said after the game the 25-year-old Hellickson was doing fine. Maddon had been optimistic earlier, saying Hellickson was not bleeding and did not lose consciousness. Hellickson is scheduled to start Saturday at Boston, and the team plans to wait and see how Hellickson responds to a night’s sleep before deciding whether he’ll pitch that day. • Guillen speaks to Marlins players: Suspended Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen addressed his players in the clubhouse Wednesday in Philadelphia, apologizing to the team for saying he admired Fidel Castro. “There’s nothing he needs to apologize to us about,” Miami reliever Mike Dunn said. “He’s our manager and we back him 100 percent.” Guillen’s comments led to his five-game suspension that started when Miami played the Phillies in the second game of a three-game series. • Union head weighs in on steroids: The head of the Major League Baseball players’ union thinks steroid use shouldn’t keep a player out of the Hall of Fame. Michael Weiner told the National Press Club on Wednesday he thinks the Hall of Fame “is for the best baseball players that have ever played.” Weiner said he was speaking his personal opinion and not the official position of the union. He also said it could be noted on the plaque if a player’s career was tainted by allegations of performance enhancing substances.

• Records show Petrino, mistress in frequent contact: Former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino and his mistress were in frequent contact over the past six months, sometimes calling or texting each other dozens of times in a single day — including game days, according to a review of his business cellphone records by The Associated Press. One of those calls included the very moment when the state police report that led to the end of Petrino’s Arkansas career was released. Petrino was fired Tuesday night for failing to disclose his relationship with Jessica Dorrell, a 25-year-old former Razorbacks volleyball player he hired last month without disclosing his conflict of interest or the fact he had once paid her $20,000. Athletic director Jeff Long said he had determined their relationship had been ongoing for a “significant” amount of time, but he did not say for how long. • Ohio State’s Meyer defends time at Florida: In his first speaking engagement with his Big Ten coaching peers, new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer had to defend what he did in his last coaching job. Meyer said he was disappointed by a story this week in the Sporting News which said he showed favoritism to star players during his six-year tenure at Florida and that his Gators program winked at disciplinary problems. “When you start saying preferential treatment to players, that’s probably a correct statement. We did do that. We do that here. We did it at Bowling Green and Utah,” said Meyer, mentioning his previous coaching stops while speaking Wednesday on the Big Ten coaches spring teleconference. “If you go to class, you’re a warrior, you do things the right way off and on the field, and you’re completely committed to helping us win, you’re going to get treated really good.” Meyer bristled at the inference by former players, some identified and some not, who said that there was a different set of rules for star players such as wide receiver Percy Harvin. • Parcells will not coach Saints: Bill Parcells’ initial reaction was to help Sean Payton, but ultimately the former NFL head coach decided he was too comfortable in retirement. Parcells spoke with ESPN — where he works as an analyst — about his decision this week to remove his name from consideration for the New Orleans Saints job.“In my mind, I didn’t really feel an inclination to do that,” Parcells said of taking over as interim coach while Payton serves a year-long suspension for his role in the team’s bounty scandal. “My real feelings were about his welfare ... I’ve been out quite a while now and I have another life and I’m pretty happy with that.” Parcells has not coached since 2006, when he finished four years with the Cowboys. Payton’s suspension begins Monday, and many signs are pointing to assistant coach Joe Vitt taking over the day-to-day coaching of the Saints as they head into their offseason program.

Cycling • Voeckler wins Brabant Arrow: Thomas Voeckler of France finished a 17-mile solo breakaway over the final hills to win the Brabant Arrow cycling classic in Brussels. Voeckler built a gap of over a minute and a half over the last eight hills and braved a succession of rain, hail and high winds to keep ahead of a chasing group, where three-time winner Oscar Freire of Spain won the sprint ahead of Belgian rider Pieter Serry to finish second. The 32-year-old Voeckler won the 121-mile race in 4 hours, 49 minutes, 2 seconds for his first victory of the season.

Olympics • Britain urges longer doping bans: Britain’s Olympic body has urged the World Anti-Doping Agency to introduce mandatory four-year bans for drug cheats as a minimum. The current WADA code has a provision for four-year bans, but few federations opt to impose sanctions beyond the standard two years. “(That) places in danger WADA’s reputation and lays itself open to the question of how effective a global (non-governmental organization) can be in tackling the ever growing challenge of doping in sport,” the British Olympic Association wrote to WADA in a document released Wednesday.

Basketball • Eustachy to coach Colorado State: Larry Eustachy is set to take over as Colorado State’s basketball coach, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, because the deal is only agreed upon and not finalized. The embattled coach takes over for Tim Miles, who left for Nebraska last month after leading the Rams to the NCAA tournament. Eustachy is coming off a season in which he guided Southern Mississippi to its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1991. Earlier reports had former Oregon coach Ernie Kent taking over as the next coach, but a report at cbssports.com said that his hiring was blocked by a “high-ranking administrator.”

Motor sports • Indy 500 winner Unser pleads guilty to DWI: Retired American race car driver and two-time Indianapolis 500-winner Al Unser Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving while intoxicated and racing on a New Mexico freeway. Unser entered his plea a day before he was set to go to trial on aggravated DWI, drag racing and reckless driving charges. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but a judge deferred that in favor of 364 days of supervised probation.

Golf • Woods to play at Quail Hollow in May: The next stop in the up-and-down year of Tiger Woods will be the Wells Fargo Championship. Woods announced Wednesday that he would play May 3-6 at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C., where he won in 2007. He did not play the event last year because of a leg injury. The last time Woods played there was 2010, when he posted the highest 36-hole score of his career (153) to miss the cut. In his last three tournaments, Woods withdrew in the final round at Doral with a sore Achilles tendon, won at Bay Hill for his first PGA Tour title in 30 months and tied for 40th at the Masters for his worst 72-hole position in any major as a pro. Masters champion Bubba Watson also will play Quail Hollow. — From wire reports

The Golden State Warriors’ David Lee (10) loses control of the ball as the Portland Trail Blazers’ J.J. Hickson reaches for it during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s game in Portland.

Crawford scores 34, Blazers beat Warriors The Associated Press PORTLAND — With LaMarcus Aldridge out, Jamal Crawford saw an opportunity to fill the void for the Portland Trail Blazers. Crawford scored a seasonhigh 34 points, Wesley Matthews had two baskets in the final minute and the Blazers beat the Golden State Warriors 118-110 on Wednesday night. An explosive 11th-year combo guard, Crawford joined the Blazers as a free agent before the season but has struggled to find his role in Portland. “I envisioned more nights like this when I first came here, but everything happens for a reason and better late than never,” Crawford said. J.J. Hickson added 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Matthews finished with 18 points for Portland. Raymond Felton had 16 points and 10 assists. David Lee had 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Warriors (22-35), while Nate Robinson added 19 points and eight assists. Golden State trailed by as many as 15 in the third quarter but fought back to tie the game at 95. Portland led 109-106 after Klay Thompson made a three-pointer for the Warriors, but Matthews knocked down a mid-range jumper and then a three-pointer to put away the game. An examination of Aldridge’s hip done Tuesday in Vail, Colo., showed an “abnormality,” according to interim general manager Chad Buchanan. That could cause Portland to shut him down for the rest of the season and effectively end its faint playoff hopes. The Blazers are 41⁄2 games back of Denver for the eighth playoff spot in the West. “Finally, we are playing with a sense of urgency,” Matthews said. “I wish we could have done that two months ago.” Aldridge is averaging 21.7 points and 8.0 rebounds and was named to the AllStar team this season for the first time. Hickson, who

has scored in double digits in eight of 12 games since Portland picked him up off waivers from Sacramento, replaced him in the starting lineup. The Warriors were coming off a 123-84 loss to Denver on Monday. They have dropped 11 of 15 games since trading Monta Ellis in February and are out of the playoff race. “That may be an excuse for other teams, but for us that’s unacceptable,” Golden State coach Mark Jackson said. “The last two games we haven’t been ourselves.” Portland went up 56-48 in the second quarter after backto-back three-pointers from Nicolas Batum and Luke Babbitt. Portland was up 8575 after the third quarter, but the Warriors opened up the fourth on a 10-0 run to tie the score. But they didn’t get stops at the end, allowing Portland to tally its second-highest scoring total of the season. “For the most part, our team played hard,” Robinson said. “We just gave up a lot of baskets that were uncalled for.” Also on Wednesday: Clippers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .100 Thunder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .98 OKLAHOMA CITY — Chris Paul scored 31 points, including the game-winning shot on a layup with 8.8 seconds left, lifting Los Angeles past Oklahoma City and keeping the Clippers in position for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Flyers overcome three-goal deficit, top Pens in overtime The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Jakub Voracek has no idea how good the Philadelphia Flyers could be if they played 60 full minutes, or beyond. At the moment, it’s hardly necessary. Voracek beat Marc-Andre Fleury from in close 2:23 into overtime to give the Flyers a 4-3 comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. “’It was a lucky bounce for me but I’ll take it,” Voracek said after scoring his first career playoff goal. So will the Flyers, who hardly panic when things don’t go their way early. Philadelphia led the NHL with 20 victories when the opponent jumps in front. Pittsburgh did that with ease. The Penguins scored the first three goals, all in the first period. No matter. Daniel Briere scored

NHL PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP twice, Brayden Schenn added a goal in his playoff debut, and Ilya Brzygalov settled down after a shaky start to finish with 25 saves. Game 2 is Friday night in Pittsburgh. Briere missed the final week of the regular season after taking a hard hit from Pittsburgh’s Joe Vitale during Philadelphia’s 6-4 win at Consol Energy Center on April 1. Briere returned to steady a team that was “in shock” after getting dominated during the first 20 minutes. “Sitting here after the first period we were saying we’ve done it all year, let’s start with a goal,” Briere said. Briere’s breakaway midway through the second period gave the Flyers life. He pulled Philadelphia within one midway through the

third period before Schenn tied it shortly thereafter to send it to overtime, where the 22-year-old Voracek ended it quickly. Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis scored for the Penguins.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Draft

Track

Cougars

Continued from D1 “I choose to be a Bruin,” Muhammad said. “So I’ll be at UCLA next year.” Though he very well could spend the next four years in school, he tellingly made no commitment beyond that. Noel selected Kentucky, which was no surprise. Wildcats coach John Calipari has perfected the one-and-done system — now known as won-and-done — that everyone has played by since 2005. But really, if a kid is truly serious about getting an education, he should commit to a school for a minimum of three years — just like they do in college baseball. If he wants to go to the NBA, the door should be open as soon as he picks up his high school diploma. Don’t count on any changes, though. For everyone beyond the kids, the status quo is working out just fine. David Stern, commissioner of the NBA, actually wants to increase the age limit from 19 to 20, ensuring that a player has to spend two years in college whether he wants to or not — development time that would further reduce the chance of a team making a huge mistake on draft day (see: Kwame Brown) and delaying a player’s progression to the really big money beyond entry-level contracts. “This is a not a social program. This is a business rule for us,” Stern conceded recently, showing a lot more forthrightness than the NCAA ever does. “We would like a year to look at them and I think it’s been interesting to see how the players do against first-class competition in the NCAAs and then teams have the ability to judge and make judgments, because high-ranking draft picks are very, very valuable.” The colleges would certainly go along with a two-and-done proposal to ensure themselves of an additional year of free labor from the best players, undoubtedly boosting their own bottom line even if it did force them to pay a bit more attention to that whole academics thing. As it stands now, the top recruits barely have to find their way to class, needing only to maintain grades for one semester to get through their required season. Even for an educational system that long ago sold its soul, this is perhaps the greatest farce of all, trying to pass off the one-anddoners as actual student athletes. The NCAA has shown its true colors again by attempting to push up the deadline by more than two months for players to decide whether they will be bolting campus — a move the organization tried to sugarcoat by saying it keeps players focused on academics (yeah, right) when its true intention was to give coaches a chance to start restocking their rosters with the next wave of early-entry candidates. Calipari is a convenient whipping boy for all that is wrong with college athletics, but he is simply playing the hand he has been dealt better than any other coach. If he is able to recruit four or five top freshmen each year, win a national championship as he did this year, send them on to the NBA and start all over again, more power to him. Besides, it’s not like he is the only coach working the system. Everyone wants to put a halo on Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, while conveniently forgetting that Kyrie Irving played a grant total of 11 games for the Blue Devils (he was sidelined much of his freshman year by a foot injury) before moving on to become the NBA’s No. 1 overall pick by Cleveland. Coach K may be quite the Svengali, but it is doubtful he had much impact on Irving’s draft status or his stellar play as a rookie for the rebuilding Cavaliers. Just imagine if this was Irving’s second year in the NBA. He should have had the choice.

Continued from D1 The Lava Bear boys won by a 94-51 margin, while the Bend girls claimed a 76-69 victory. Among the highlights in the boys meet, Lava Bear senior J.C. Grim placed first in the javelin, the high jump and the triple jump. In the javelin, Redmond’s Tanner Manselle led with a throw of 175 feet, 5 inches, until Grim uncorked a toss of 177-2 on his final attempt. The Panthers were strong overall in the throwing events, led by senior Jacob Crivellone, who placed first in both the shot put and the discus. According to Redmond coach Scott Brown, Crivellone’s winning mark in the shot — 53 feet, 8 1⁄2 inches — broke a 56year-old Redmond High record by half an inch. In the girls meet, senior Jessica Wolfe won both the 1,500 and the 3,000 to lead the Lava Bears. Also for Bend, junior Amanda Pease placed first in

Continued from D1 Elms ended the early game with three hits and four runs batted in. Hannah Wicklund turned in a four-for-five performance that included a double. Shelbee Wells pitched a complete game for Mountain View, scattering 11 hits over seven innings. Kaytie Zellner paced the Storm with three doubles. In the second game, Summit again grabbed an early lead, scoring five runs in the third inning and held a 6-4 advantage entering the fourth inning. Trailing 6-5 after 5 1⁄2 innings, Mountain View scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to make the score 8-6. The Storm (4-6, 0-2 IMC) scored once in the seventh but that was all. Wells again earned the win for the Cougars (2-0 IMC), this time in relief of Wicklund. Megan McCadden knocked in two RBIs for Mountain View and Wicklund added two hits and an RBI. Mariah Defoe, who pitched two complete games for Summit, was tagged with the loss in both contests. Zellner again led the Storm offense, recording two doubles. Mountain View next plays a doubleheader at Redmond on Wednesday. Summit hosts the Panthers this Friday.

BMX Continued from D1 Wherever they hail from, riders of all ages and ability levels may participate, as long they belong to USA BMX. They will compete in divisions based on gender, experience level (novice, intermediate, expert and girls) and age. “They’ll be from 3-year-olds to 63-yearolds,” Stevens says of the age range of the competitors. BMX is a high-speed action sport in which riders pedal smaller-framed, single-gear bikes on courses featuring banked turns, rollers and tabletops. Bike wheelbases are either 20 or 24 inches in size. The bikes with the larger wheelbase, called “cruisers,” compete in separate divisions from the 20-inch wheelbase bicycles. For more local competitors, this weekend represents the chance to get their race legs under them. “We have 13 tracks in Oregon — they’re really not running yet,” Stevens says. “Our kids compete having really not had a lot of track time yet.” What they will be going for each day, along with the rest of the field, are points. Racers will earn district points each day that go toward more localized rankings, and those who advance in their divisions to the “main event” — the top eight riders in the field — on Saturday and Sunday will also earn points toward their national ranking. On-site registration is available today from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for all three days of racing and from 6:30 p.m. until the end of racing for Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (for Saturday’s races), and from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday (for Sunday’s races). Registration fee is $25 to $45 per day, depending on division. Coming on the heels of another nationals event in Chula Vista, Calif., the Great Northwest Nationals, Stevens says, is a good event for BMX newbies. “This is a nice kind of … a less-difficult competition national,” she says. “So it’s a really good experience for newer riders.” — Reporter: 541-383-0393, amiles@bendbulletin.com.

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Bend’s J.C. Grim prepares to toss the javelin Wednesday in a meet against Redmond at Bend High. Grim won the event.

HUNTING & FISHING COMMENTARY

A guide to bone-picking in Central Oregon and beyond â&#x20AC;˘ Antlers that have been shed can be valuable if you come across them in the wild GARY LEWIS

ere in the Northwest, deer begin to shed their antlers in February. By the end of March, most mule deer and blacktails have dropped their headgear. Elk cast their antlers a few weeks later, and it is not uncommon to see a bull carry last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antlers into the early weeks of April. Pick up a shed antler on the winter range and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found treasure. Maybe even enough to pay for the tank of gas you burned on the way out to the desert. Mule deer sheds are measured according to the number of points, tine length and circumference of the antler. The eyeguard is called the G1 and the back point is referred to as the G2. The tine that forks from the G2 is the G3. On a typical four-point frame, the G4 is the point that grows from the main beam. Overall scores are measured in inches. A big one will stretch the tape to 70 inches or more. Elk antlers are measured in a similar fashion. On a typical six-point frame, the points come off the main beam. The brow tine is called the G1, the G2 is the next one, and so forth. A trophy elk shed runs 150 inches and bigger. According to Jason Preston, a local antler buyer that converts grade-A elk antler to dog chews (www.dogchewz. com), the market for elk antlers is up. The typical elk rack weighs four to eight pounds and A-grade antlers bring about $8 per pound. In general, the most sought after mule deer and blacktail antler sheds are big and brown, but collectors and buyers sometimes look for other qualities. Antlers are graded according to age and exposure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A-grade are fresh, full brown with no cracks,â&#x20AC;? Preston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;B are hard white, good and solid with maybe some hairline sun-bake cracks. C-grade are chalk, really cracked, chipped, broken and chewed on by rodents or porcupines.â&#x20AC;? Brian Davis, a shed enthusiast from Redmond, likes to find antlers that have been out in the weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prettiest ones to me are the ones that have been out for a year,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still brown on one side and

they are bleached on the other side.â&#x20AC;? As to value, the prices fluctuate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the stock market,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes the white ones are more valuable than the new ones.â&#x20AC;? Some artists prefer smaller â&#x20AC;&#x153;craftâ&#x20AC;? antlers. Juvenile elk antlers, called raghorns, can be just as valuable as bigger ones. In Central Oregon, the most common finds are mule deer sheds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;East of Prineville and out into northeast Oregon, I get more elk sheds,â&#x20AC;? Preston said. Rarer are whitetail sheds and rarest of all are moose sheds, because there are only about 40 moose in the state. It is not uncommon to come across a deer skull with both antlers, usually a buck or a bull killed by a predator or a hard winter. Shed hunters are supposed to leave those in the field. It is against the law to possess a deer skull with antlers without a deer tag. For more information on antler ethics, check out www.oregonshedhunters.com Antlers are used for dog chews, chandeliers, knife handles, beads, buttons and art. Common pieces are crated up and sent overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Asian market takes quite a bit,â&#x20AC;? Preston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are used in homeopathic medicines and they believe that antlers have powers in them that do the same thing Viagra does.â&#x20AC;?

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: CENTRAL ZONE BEND PINE NURSERY POND: The pond was recently stocked with rainbow trout. BIKINI POND: Bikini Pond has recently been stocked and should offer a great opportunity to catch some rainbow trout. There is great access for kids or anglers that need easy access. CRESCENT LAKE: The lake is accessible at the resort only. CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Anglers are reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures until May 26. Flows below Bowman Dam were 320 cfs as of Wednesday. DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Pelton Regulating Dam): April is a great time to fish the Lower Deschutes River. Rising trout, spring chinook and wildflowers can all be found along the Deschutes Canyon during April. Trout anglers should try fishing from late morning to mid-afternoon because bugs and fish will be the most active during that time of the day. Fishing nymphs will be productive while watching for mid-day hatches to occur.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Fishing has been slow. HOOD RIVER: Winter steelhead fishing on the Hood River is shifting into high gear as returns of both hatchery and wild fish are entering in good numbers. Anglers are reporting lots of bright fish when water levels allow fishing to occur. LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Fishing for bull trout has been fair. The majority of the fish caught were less than 24 inches, but some keepers have been caught. There are a lot of legal-size bull trout in the reservoir, so fishing should be good this year. METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer lots of opportunities for good dry-fly fishing. OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should start to see larger trout entering the creek from the Crooked River as they are getting ready to spawn. OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Fishing has been fair. Some fish are being caught from shore on powerbait. SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: Fishing should be good for holdover trout from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stocking. Be aware that the pond may still ice over during cold spells. Shevlin Pond is open to children 17 years old and younger, with a bag limit of two fish.

April a good time for the Lower Deschutes

Joey Wood, of Powell Butte, started bringing home antlers 32 years ago. What began as a hobby has turned into a furniture business. Wood builds lamps, chandeliers and tables out of deer and elk antler (www.antlerartandmore. com). A single light fixture can employ up to 30 antlers. Wood buys antlers as well to get the ones he needs for building furniture and to fill orders for his new line of dog chews, Top Tine, made from A-grade elk. The most valuable are non-typical, big, with drop tines, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;sticker points.â&#x20AC;? If both sides are found â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a matching set â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those are the least likely to be turned into dog chews or aphrodisiacs. Wood prizes a number of antlers that he and his wife, Mollee, have picked up over the years. One is an antler his dad found that measures a whopping 122 inches. Another shed in his collection is a miniature three-point mule deer antler that measures 2 inches tall. Davis, too, has antlers he keeps because of the connection with the wild he gets from each castoff crown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every other trip I take I usually find something special. Being out in the wild is the most important thing.â&#x20AC;?

Caddis larva make their living in the rocks and gravel. Trout search them out, nosing down to the bottom, but will take a free-tumbled caddis with enthusiasm. You can catch trout on the Ice Mr. Peacock any month of the year, but this one is a good choice in the summer and early fall when summer steelhead are in the river. Think of it as a searching pattern, a fly to use when there is no obvious surface action. Use it solo or in tandem with a smaller caddis larva or pupa imitation. Tie the Ice Mr. Peacock with black thread on a No. 8-12 scud hook. For the feelers, tie in olive rubber legs and add the black contrast with a permanent marker. Slide a brass or tungsten bead up against the eye. For the tail, use olive mallard. Build the body with Ice Peacock dubbing and rib with olive Flashabou. Tie the wings of olive mallard, positioned on either side of the body. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gary Lewis

Fall Continued from D1 Renowned as a reliable year-round fishery in Central Oregon, fishing on the Fall River typically picks up in springtime. The spring-fed river, located just southwest of Sunriver, is restricted to fly angling only with barbless hooks. The section downstream of Fall River Falls is closed until May 26. Starting from rushing springs, the river flows northeast for eight miles through pine forest and grassy meadows before it empties into the Deschutes River between Sunriver and La Pine. The rainbow and brown trout in Fall River average 10 to 15 inches in length. Most of the brown trout are located downstream of the falls. I was fishing Tuesday at Fall River Campground, a few miles upstream from the Fall River Hatchery. The solitude and sheer beauty of the creek were enjoyable, but the fish were lethargic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a place to go get a lot of fish,â&#x20AC;? said Fred Foisset, owner of the Hook Fly Shop in Sunriver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place to get satisfying fish. It can be humbling there. Three or four fish is a good afternoon sometimes. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about the numbers. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful up there; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something about it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Foisset, owner of the Hook Fly Shop in Sunriver, about fishing the Fall River

just something about it.â&#x20AC;? Foisset, who lives on the lower end of Fall River, said he uses only dry flies when fishing there. I stopped into his shop before heading out to the water and purchased some of his favorite dry-fly patterns for fishing his home water: baetis cripple, peacock caddis, and ride right blue-wing olive, all in size Nos. 18 or 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can pretty much count on seeing some dry-fly action,â&#x20AC;? Foisset said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty soon weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see winter stones and green drakes, and things will really start happening. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get good.â&#x20AC;? Still, the trout can be spooky in the clear water. Foisset called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;technicalâ&#x20AC;? river with â&#x20AC;&#x153;pickyâ&#x20AC;? fish. He said he has watched fish swim right past his nymphs. To find success on such a challenging river, Foisset said he advises anglers not to tie a fly on their line in the parking

lot. Rather, he said, they should wait and walk down to the river to take note of whether fish are rising and what flies might be hatching. Because the water is so clear, anglers can â&#x20AC;&#x153;spot and stalkâ&#x20AC;? fish, meaning they can actually see the fish they are trying to catch. But the fish can see the anglers as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means fishermen must demonstrate a certain measure of stealth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fish from behind a tree,â&#x20AC;? Foisset said. He also recommended wearing muted colors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; avoid white, yellow and red â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and standing in a shady spot when the sun is shining on the

Foisset said anglers should bring a variety of flies with them to the Fall River: midges, caddis, blue-wing olives, nymphs, and even streamers. Leader size 6x or 7x works best, and Foisset recommended fluorocarbon leader when nymphing. But do not count on landing lots of fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go and try to stack up numbers,â&#x20AC;? Foisset said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about the quality of the experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great local fishery for us.

IN BRIEF FDA enacts drug rules for livestock Farmers and ranchers will for the first time be required to get a prescription from a veterinarian before using antibiotics in cattle, pigs, chickens and other animals, federal food regulators announced Wednesday. Officials hope the move will slow the indiscriminate use of the drugs, which has made them increasingly ineffective in humans. The Food and Drug Administration has been taking small steps to curb the use of antibiotics on farms, but federal officials said requiring prescriptions would lead to meaningful reductions in the agricultural use of antibiotics, which are given to promote animal growth. The drug resistance that has developed from that practice has been a growing problem and has rendered a number of antibiotics used in humans less and less effective, with deadly consequences.

Downtown Bend Business Association seeks to renew improvement district • Property owners will vote on whether to continue funding it By Rachael Rees The Bulletin

The head of Bend’s downtown business association is optimistic property owners will continue to fund and approve the district that has kept downtown clean, put up decorations and organized events. “This is the fourth (economic improvement district) we’ve authorized,” said Chuck Arnold, executive director of the Downtown

Bend Business Association. “We have more than 60 property owners and businesses endorsing it — twice what we had back in 2009.” The present district is set to expire this month, and a new one must be approved by property owners, who pay for it, and authorized by the Bend City Council, which approved it unanimously March 21. If the district is reauthorized, property owners will

pay 18 cents per square foot per year, a 3-cent increase from the present fee, to fund downtown events, maintenance, beautification and marketing. It also pays for the Downtown Bend Business Association staff. The association receives no public funding. To be approved, two-thirds of downtown property owners must vote yes. Not voting counts as approval, Arnold

said. If more than one-third of property owners vote no, he said, the district will not be authorized. The vote is scheduled for May 2. While Oregon law allows economic improvement districts to last for up to five years, Arnold said the association chose to make downtown’s a three-year district. Property owners have a right to know where their money is going and what they are funding, Arnold said. See Downtown / E3

Patents boost jobs, report says More than a quarter of all jobs in the United States are with companies that rely on patents, copyrights and trademarks to protect products from competition and promote investment, the Commerce Department said. About 27.1 million jobs in 2010 were in industries that rely heavily on intellectual property protections, and another 12.9 million positions were indirectly affected. The 75 industries deemed “IP-intensive” accounted for $5.06 trillion, or about 35 percent of the gross domestic product in 2010, according to a study released Wednesday by the Economics and Statistic Administration and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Commerce Department sought to quantify the portion of the U.S. economy relying on intellectual property rights as President Obama calls for more innovation to boost job growth. Workers in industries deemed intellectual property intensive earned $1,156 a week on average in 2010, 42 percent more than those in other sectors, the report found. — From wire reports

Energy Trust of Oregon is offering area residents an opportunity to recycle their refrigerators or freezers and receive a $40 cash incentive in return. Officials with the Oregon nonprofit are collecting fridges built in the 1990s or earlier in an effort to increase the number of energy-efficient fridges in local homes, according to a news release. Pickup is free, and the unit can be hauled from any room. All Pacific Power and Portland General Electric customers are eligible for the program. To qualify, the unit must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet and be in working condition. Energy Trust officials say that keeping a second, older fridge running in the house can cost homeowners about

Fine watches have long been about more than just telling time. They have served as gifts for graduation and retirement. They have been collected and coveted for their craftsmanship. They are often flaunted as status symbols. Even so, the current economic climate would not seem conducive for timepieces filled with wheels and springs — the finest ones do not use batteries — that start at $15,000 and go up to $1 million or more. Plus, any cellphone can tell you the time. It turns out, though, that the market for vintage timepieces has been booming. Watches are now the sixth-largest de-

partment at Christie’s, accounting for $116 million in sales in 2011. That was a 26 percent increase from the year before, and much of the growth is being driven by Asian collectors. “We have new collectors looking at watches as alternative investments,” said Sam Hines, head of watches in Asia for Christie’s. “There has also been the formation of a trophy market.” These trophies are watches that are very rare, if not one of a kind. Last year, the most expensive wristwatch sold at auction was a Patek Philippe chronograph from 1928, which sold in Geneva for $3.6 million, a record price for that model. See Watches / E3

Growth of labor force may weigh on economy Peter Whoriskey The Washington Post.

If demography is destiny, the U.S. economy may be in the midst of a decades-long slowdown. The U.S. labor force is growing at about half the rate it was 20 years ago. According to recent projections by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it will continue to expand at a slightly lower pace through 2020. Slower growth in the number of workers tends to hold back gross domestic product and employment, economists say. And that makes it less likely that the economy will pick up steam at the rate it did in previous recessions. These changes in the labor force “imply that future recessions will be deeper, and will have slower recoveries, than historically has been the case,” according to a paper issued last month by James Stock of Harvard University and Mark Watson of Princeton University. Their research shows that as much as half of the relative slowness of the recent recovery may be attributable to the fact that the growth of the U.S. labor force has declined. “The demographics turn out to be a very important factor,” Stock said in an interview.

Publishers, Apple fixed prices on e-books, lawsuit says By Julie Bosman New York Times News Service

The Justice Department filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against Apple and major book publishers Wednesday, charging that the companies colluded to raise the price of e-books in 2010. Several publishers have agreed to a proposed settlement, people close to the negotiations said. The lawsuit alleges that Apple and the publishers conspired to limit e-book price competition, causing “e-book consumers to pay tens of millions of dollars more for e-books than they otherwise would have paid.” The publishers named in the lawsuit are Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Group USA and Simon & Schuster. The lawsuit capped an investigation that began last year into Apple and five of the biggest book publishers. The investigation was in response to what government investigators said was illegal action two years ago when the publishers adopted a pricing policy for e-books. That policy, known as the agency model, allowed publishers to set their own prices on e-books, with the retailer taking a commission. See E-books / E3

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Downtown Continued from E1 When the association applies to be a district, it identifies what the collected funds will be used for during the three-year period. Priorities could change over five years, but the district would be stuck funding the activities identified when it was approved, he said. A threeyear authorization gives the association more flexibility. “Last time the goal was to get a program in place to keep downtown maintained and clean,” he said. Along with maintenance, the association would like to

Watches Continued from E1 The demand is only partly driven by the watches’ condition, rarity and “complications” — the horological term for how many different things a watch keeps track of, from day and date to bells that chime at precise intervals. Instead, much as an art gallery does for an artist, the top-end watchmakers have created an allure around their brands. But many collectors — even those whose own watches have doubled or tripled in value — are quick to dissuade people who want to speculate on time, as it were. “From an investment point of view, most watches do not do very well,” said William Massena, a real estate consultant who collects Patek Philippe watches. “You have to be a smart buyer to have a watch hold its value.” So what gives a watch investment potential as opposed to just being an expensive way to tell time? Here is some of what I learned.

Investment The likelihood that watches will increase in value depends on how few were made and how complicated they are. But their value also depends on how the watch has been maintained. Paul Boutros, an engineer who collects watches made by Vacheron Constantin and

launch a marketing campaign to bring more locals downtown during the off season, October to May. The downtown economic improvement district was first established in 2007. Its goal was to level the playing field for businesses, Arnold said. Before the district, the association couldn’t require businesses to pay. Only half of the businesses paid for the services all businesses benefited from. Kelli Brooks, owner of At the Beach on Northwest Wall Street, said she would have stopped paying membership dues if the district wasn’t approved.

“While I was paying to support downtown, other people weren’t necessarily paying,” she said. “It wasn’t a fair system.” Brooks said because only half the businesses were paying, the money raised wasn’t enough to support a marketing plan. Eventually association services — trash pickup, sidewalk cleaning, snow removal, holiday decor — would have disappeared if members quit paying and funds continued to dwindle. “We were getting less and paying more,” she said. “Now I pay about $200 a year. Before, I paid $100 a month.” Brooks said most down-

town businesses, including hers, support the district. Ben Perle, regional manager for The Oxford Hotel Group, said since the inception of the economic development district, the Downtown Bend Business Association has been able to shape a different downtown. “I’m absolutely in favor of it,” he said. “If the (economic development district) doesn’t pass, the downtown association doesn’t get funded and all that it does, the marketing, beautification and the services they provide, would go away.”

Audemars Piguet, said owners often inadvertently undercut the investment potential of a watch by regularly wearing it. Sweat, for example, can enter the case and cause it to decay; or the face may fade or show wear, and the owner gets it refinished. “The person wearing the watch likes that, but we collectors want all original all the time,” he said. “We look for legitimacy in the watch.” Hugues de Pins, president of Vacheron Constantin North America, advised collectors to look for something rare in gold or platinum and to focus on watches made in limited editions if they hope for their purchase to appreciate. His company’s watches range in price from $10,000 to $800,000. The company recently bought a rare pocket watch it made in 1918 for $1.7 million at auction.

a watch was fake or real was easy for an appraiser. But assessing if someone has cut corners in maintaining a watch takes more time. “What mainly happens, even for the very expensive watches, is that someone buys a $2,000 watch and reuses the original wheels or crown but in the more expensive watch,” Van der Vorst said. “They’re original watch parts, but they wouldn’t have belonged to that watch.” While the watch is not a fake, its value is lower. The big risk now is that the brands that have appreciated so much over the last 30 years may not be the ones that appreciate over the next decade.

Bennahmias said the company’s watches had not been appreciating as quickly as they did before 2008, when the company was producing limited edition watches whose values could rise 20 to 40 percent from the preorder to release date. He said clients now were more interested in the watch holding its value or not depreciating too greatly. Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, has just started to sell its own vintage watches, which the company is tuning up and authenticating. De Pins said the company wanted to meet client demand for authentic vintage watches. For people who covet these fine watches but cannot afford a new one, this could be an option. Vacheron’s vintage collection in New York was selling a round, gold wristwatch from 1956 for $9,000. De Pins said a similar model new would retail for $18,000. Short of that, a collector can hope to be lucky. Boutros, whose passion for watches started as a hobby with his father, said they once bought an Audemars Piguet in 1989 from a jewelry dealer who could not even pronounce the watchmaker’s name. “At the time, the retail price was about $15,000,” he said. “He got it in trade and wanted $1,000 for it.” “The quality just stood out, every little detail,” Boutros said. “That’s when I realized the high end is for real.”

Risks Wealthy, but not necessarily knowledgeable, watch buyers face various risks. Fraud is an obvious one. And these fakes are not the knockoff Rolexes sold at tourist stops in Manhattan. The outright fakes are usually models that were produced in greater quantities than the rare, complicated watches, and they feel real, too. There are subtler problems. Patrick van der Vorst, a former Sotheby’s appraiser and the founder of ValueMyStuff. com, said determining whether Change your mind. Change your life.

Value management Some watchmakers are taking a more active role in the management of their vintage market. Audemars Piguet has created an exhibition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak, its distinctive and popular sports watch. The exhibit opened for four days in New York last month and will travel to Milan, Paris, Beijing, Singapore and Dubai. Francois-Henry Bennahmias, president and chief executive of Audemars Piguet North America, said a Royal Oak cost $3,000 in 1972 and would be worth $35,000 to $60,000 today, depending on the condition. He said new Royal Oaks started at $14,000.

e-book retailing practices.” One of the meetings took place in The Chef’s Wine Cellar, a private room at Picholine, a Manhattan restaurant. One of the chief executives “reported that business matters were discussed,” the suit said. “These private meetings,” the suit alleges, “provided the publisher defendants’ CEO’s the opportunity to discuss how they collectively could solve ‘the $9.99 problem.’” At the time, publishers were concerned about Amazon’s practice of charging $9.99 for most newly released and bestselling e-books. In early 2010, Steve Jobs, then Apple’s chief executive, suggested to book publishers that they sell e-books using agency pricing; Apple would serve as the online agent and take a 30 percent commission. The five publishers made agreements with Apple for selling e-books, and Apple, which was about to introduce its iPad to the market, insisted on what is known as a “most favored nation” clause, which prohibited publishers from allowing other retailers to sell e-books for less than Apple’s price. It is that clause that came under scrutiny by the Justice Department. After making a deal with Apple in 2010, the publishers targeted in the Justice Department investigation renegotiated their agreements with Amazon from wholesale to agency. Amazon had little choice but to consent, though it would have preferred to keep e-book prices low in order to convince consumers to buy its Kindle e-readers, then a relatively new device to the market. Since the agency model was put in place in 2010, Amazon has steadily lost market share in e-books, going from close to 90 percent to about 60 percent. Barnes & Noble has gained a rising share of the market, more than 25 percent.

Continued from E1 It was a significant switch from the wholesale model that publishers had been using for print books, in which publishers charged retailers about half the cover price for a book and then allowed retailers to set their own sale price. Many publishing executives have worried that without the agency model Amazon would gain a monopoly over e-books, because the wholesale model would allow the giant retailer to sell e-books for less than it paid publishers — a practice that smaller companies would not be able to imitate. But antitrust lawyers have warned since 2010 that the pricing arrangements were likely to attract scrutiny at some point. In December, Sharis Pozen, the acting director of the Justice Department’s antitrust decision, told a House subcommittee that the department was investigating pricing in the e-book industry. For months, the Justice Department has sent publishers drafts of proposals, which they hoped would form the basis of a settlement. The negotiations accelerated in the last several weeks as the department put more pressure on publishers to reach a settlement, according to people in the publishing industry with knowledge of the discussions. Pozen, who is expected to leave the department at the end of the month, was said to be determined to conclude the matter with either a settlement or a lawsuit by the time she left. The lawsuit said that for at least one year beginning “no later than September 2008,” the chief executives of the publishing companies met once every several months, “in private dining rooms of upscale Manhattan restaurants” to “discuss confidential business and competitive matters, including Amazon’s

Johnson &Johnson subsidiaryfined $1.2B By Katie Thomas New York Times News Service

A judge in Arkansas ordered Johnson & Johnson and a subsidiary to pay more than $1.2 billion in fines Wednesday, a day after a jury found that the companies minimized or concealed the dangers associated with an antipsychotic drug. The fine, which experts said ranked among the

largest in history for a state fraud case involving a drug company, is the most recent in a string of legal losses for Johnson & Johnson related to its marketing of the drug, Risperdal. In January, Texas settled a similar case with the subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, for $158 million. The Arkansas judge, Tim Fox, issued a penalty of $1.19 billion for nearly 240,000 vi-

olations of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicaid fraud law; he also fined the companies $11 million for violations of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deceptive practices act. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general, Dustin McDaniel, called the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big winâ&#x20AC;? for Arkansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two companies put profits before people, and they are rightfully being held responsible for their actions,â&#x20AC;? he said in the statement.

Changing face of the workforce The growth of the U.S. labor force has slowed in recent years, and part of the reason is the trends in the proportion of American adults who are working or seeking work, known as the labor force participation rate. This rate has been declining for men for decades; for women, the rate rose steadily until the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and then peaked, and has declined with the recession. Demographers believe this is occurring in large part because of the aging of the baby-boom generation. Government projections also show that the makeup of the labor force will probably change â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a rise in workers older than 55 and a decline in workers younger than 24.

The Washington Post

Workers Continued from E1 The slower growth in the labor force arises from two factors, according to the BLS. First, the U.S. population is growing more slowly. Second, the percentage of Americans working or seeking work will continue to decline as the population ages. What exactly stalled the recovery from the recent recession and what might still be holding it back continue to be a matter of debate among economists and politicians. The doddering nature of the recovery has been blamed on a variety of factors: the financial nature of the crisis, the fact that millions of homeowners are struggling with mortgage debt, the size of the government stimulus, as well as spiking gas prices, the Japanese earthquake and the European banking troubles. The role of demographics has been relatively unexplored, and in contrast to those other causes, the decline in the labor force will probably be a persistent feature of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future.

Continuing trend In the mid-1980s, the labor force â&#x20AC;&#x201D; defined as the number of people working or seeking work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was growing at about 1.7 percent per year, according to Stock and Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculations. By the mid-2000s, the growth was just about half that, or 0.9 percent. The growth, moreover, is anticipated to slow even more in the years to come. In labor force estimates published by the BLS, annual growth of the labor force shrinks to less than 0.6 percent by the end of

the decade. One of the primary causes for the decline of labor force growth is the retirement of the giant baby-boom generation. Last year, the first baby boomers, born in 1946, reached 65, the traditional age of retirement. They are less likely to work. Second, through the 1990s, a rapid rise in the percentage of women working led to a surge in the size of the labor force. But once the percentage of women in the labor force reached about 60 percent, it stopped climbing, and economists see little immediate sign that it is likely to rise again. The labor-force participation of women â&#x20AC;&#x153;is as high as it has ever been,â&#x20AC;? said Claudia Goldin, a Harvard economics professor who has studied the issue. And â&#x20AC;&#x153;it has not gone higher in the last 20 years.â&#x20AC;? But the high numbers of women attaining bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees suggest to some that there is a large group of women who could be enticed into joining the workforce. In 2010, 36 percent of women ages 25 to 29 had bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees, compared with 28 percent of men of the same age group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not yet convinced that female labor force participation has peaked,â&#x20AC;? said Aysegul Sahin, an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a pool of high skilled women who currently choose not to participate in the labor force. It is not clear that they will continue to do that.â&#x20AC;? The labor force participation rate among men 25 and older, meanwhile, has been in a decline, and stands at 73 percent.

Economic impact Assuming that the growth

of the labor force continues to decline as expected, there are important ramifications for the economy. For starters, when the labor force grows more slowly, the growth in the number of jobs and the growth of GDP is unlikely to be as robust as it otherwise would be, economists said. The reason is that in the long run, an economy adds jobs to accommodate the size of its labor force. Eventually, wage levels rise or fall to a level that leads to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;? level of unemployment. So the slowing growth in the labor force means that the growth in the number of jobs should slow, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over decades, what determines job growth are the number of people who want to find a job,â&#x20AC;? Stock said. The decline in job growth, in turn, means that the growth of economic output will decline, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assuming no compensating rise in productivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, what an economy is depends upon how many bodies you have,â&#x20AC;? said Anthony Carnevale, an economist and director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Carnevale added that if the diagnosis for what ails the economy is the size and quality of the workforce, that may be good news, at least compared with the theory that the biggest problem is foreign competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the extent this is a domestic demographic problem, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more in our control,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame the Chinese for the quality and quantity of our domestic labor force.â&#x20AC;?

Samantha Hanyen, 10, center, and Skyla Patrick, 9, right, dance along with a video game during activity time at Tom McCall Elementary School in Redmond. Teacher Heather Renz, in the background, helps other fourth-graders get started. Renz said when an ExerLearning program was used more regularly in her classroom in the past, students concentrated better and had improved test scores.

xercise doesn’t just strengthen children’s bodies. It also helps build better brains. Studies show that fitter students generally have greater academic achievement. But that doesn’t mean a kid has to be an accomplished athlete to succeed in school. It only takes a few minutes of physical activity during the day to improve students’ concentration, behavior and retention in the classroom. An old paradigm said movement was problematic in the classroom and students should remain seated in their desks, said Lora Nordquist, the chief academic officer for elementary programs in Bend-La Pine Schools. “That paradigm has shifted completely,” she said. “Not only do we believe it’s good for kids, but we believe it’s necessary for kids to have short bouts of physical activity to stimulate their thinking, to keep them engaged in learning.” Kindergarten teachers call it getting the wiggles out. Scientists call it neurogenesis; exercise releases chemicals that help grow neurons involved in learning. And, “The increased blood flow produced when you exercise … increases the delivery of glucose to the brain needed for neuron activity,” said Dr. Romina Barros, a professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Barros has measured classroom behavior in relation to amount of recess time. Her 2009 study, published in the journal Pediatrics, said that a 15-minute recess improved classroom behavior, compared to having no recess. Even though educators agree that academics can flourish when fertilized with physical activity, many schools across the nation have been reducing recess time to meet requirements for academic achievement, a trend exacerbated by the No Child Left Behind Act.

Suzanne Schlosberg got involved in a book about childhood bed wetting last year because she thought the subject was interesting. She would soon become MEDICINE much more intimately familiar with the topic. The writer and Bend mom of 4-year-old twin boys said in the middle of the project, one of her own boys began having problems. “I took the project on because I thought it was interesting, not because I thought it applied,” she said. “One of my boys was having accidents at school all the time. I was really stressed.” Schlosberg collaborated on the book “It’s No Accident” that published in February, with Dr. Steve Hodges, a pediatric urologist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina. He has an unusual approach to the causes of bed wetting and accidents in potty-trained kids. See Wetting / F5

Bend brewery helps workers care for health By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Jeff Hakala, a manager at the Deschutes Brewery & Public House, eats at the downtown Bend pub five nights a week. He works long hours, gets really busy and doesn’t often sit down for a healthy, home-cooked dinner. “I do easier instead of smarter sometimes,” he said of his food choices NUTRITION at work. But, based on goals he set during a workplace wellness program focused on healthy eating, he’s trying four out of five nights to order salmon, chicken, vegetables or a salad, instead of something less healthy, like a burger and fries. He also bought some Tupperware to carry fresh vegetables or almonds to work, to sustain him through hungry spells. That way he doesn’t wind up famished and make poor food choices when he finally gets time to eat.

Concierge doctors: not just for the super-rich anymore • Growing number of physicians offer personalized care, access for annual fees By Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Mary Lou Rothman has her doctor’s email and cellphone number, MONEY with permission to call day or night. When she recently suffered a stomachache, she called the office and got an appointment within three hours.

When the stomachache turned out to be appendicitis, her doctor, Marcy Zwelling, went to the hospital with her and stayed by her side through two surgeries, the second brought on by excessive bleeding. Only after 2 a.m., when it was clear the second surgery had been successful, did Dr. Zwelling go home. “She was practically sitting on my shoulder the whole time, her

in conjunction with (the surgeon),” says Rothman, 69. “I’m sure everyone thought, who is this person in ICU that she’s got doctors on either side of her? But that’s what we pay for. Our concierge (medical) service provides us with 24/7 care.” Rothman, a figure skating judge from Cypress, Calif., does pay for the VIP treatment, but it’s less than

you might expect. She’s one of more than 200,000 Americans, from members of Congress to teachers to bus drivers, who pay their doctors upfront for more personalized and attentive medical care. While some concierge practices charge patients as much as $15,000 a year, the typical charge appears to be about $1,500 to $2,000, according to a 2010 report from the University of Chicago and Georgetown University.

N GOOD FOR YOU Your ticker likes it hot, hot, hot! Pepper compound can help your heart health, study says A study involving hamsters suggests that hot peppers are heart-healthy foods that may help protect people against the leading cause of death in this country. Researchers focused on capsaicin and its relatives, capsaicinoids, which give cayennes, jalapeĂąos, habaneros and other chilies their heat. Capsaicin had already earned a reputation for being helpful in skin creams, the treatment of arthritis and other pains. Other past research has suggested that chilies can lower blood pressure, reduce blood cholesterol and lower the risk of blood clots. In this new study, researchers gave hamsters high-cholesterol diets, divided them into groups, and supplemented each groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food with either no capsaicinoids or various amounts of capsaicinoids. Researchers found that capsaicinoids reduced accumulation of cholesterol in the body and increased its breakdown and excretion in the feces, according to a news

release from the American Chemical Society. Capsaicinoids also block action of a gene that makes arteries contract, restricting the flow of blood to the heart and other organs. That allows more blood to flow through blood vessels, which may reduce risks of heart attacks or strokes. This research was presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society recently. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a self-insured company with excellent health coverage, it is important that we offer â&#x20AC;Ś workers the best info to keep them healthy and, quite frankly, to help keep our costs down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Geof Hasegawa, a production planning supervisor for the Deschutes Brewery

Class Continued from F1 Employer-sponsored health promotion and incentive programs are among the Top 20 fitness trends for 2012, according to an annual American College of Sports Medicine survey. These types of programs are expected to grow even more in coming years, according to the trends report. Comprehensive workplace programs were shown to reduce employee absenteeism by one-fifth in their first year, according to a study in the April Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Geof Hasegawa, a production planning supervisor for the Deschutes Brewery, started the company wellness program more than five years ago to educate employees about health, fitness and general wellbeing. The wellness program is somewhat unstructured, Hasegawa admitted, but has included everything from group hikes and bike maintenance classes to an annual wellness fair during which the company provides flu shots and blood cholesterol checks and invites local wellness providers to meet employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a self-insured company with excellent health coverage, it is important that we offer â&#x20AC;Ś workers the best info to keep them healthy and, quite frankly, to help keep our costs down,â&#x20AC;? he said. Increasing health care expenses and health-related losses in productivity cost American employers an estimated $225.8 billion a year, according to a statement from Joe Robertson, Oregon Health & Science Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employers face $12.7 billion in annual medical expenses due to obesity alone,â&#x20AC;? Robertson said.

Lessons in good eating The six-week nutrition workshop Hakala attended was meant to expose employees to nutrition fundamentals and practical ways to implement them. He hopes to run this workshop again sometime. Hakala, the 38-year-old pub manager, knew he had high cholesterol when he saw a companywide email about the workshop. He wanted to lose some weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make some healthy changes,â&#x20AC;? he said. Eris Craven, the registered dietitian hired to lead the one-hour sessions for Deschutes Brewery employees, wanted participants to be specific in their weekly goals, and helped them establish individual plans. The small group discussed membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals, successes and failures. Craven covered a broad range of nutritional topics, a different theme each week. On a recent day, she discussed how the environment in which a person lives, works and socializes influences their eating.

The influence of environment In Hakalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, his work environment is a challenge. He is surrounded by food all the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not all of it is light and healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in willpower when it comes to food,â&#x20AC;? Craven said to the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

about willpower. Make your environment support your eating habits.â&#x20AC;? First, she said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to identify the challenges you face. For Hakala, that might be having access to all sorts of rich food when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starving and exhausted. For some people, it might be an irresistible glass jar of chocolate in view on a coworkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk. Craven said communication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with family members at home, co-workers on the job, friends who want to dine out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the key to controlling your environment. Ask the co-worker to move the chocolate to a place where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it, Craven suggested. Start by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be so helpful for me if â&#x20AC;Ś ,â&#x20AC;? Craven said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may have no idea, and may be really supportive.â&#x20AC;? Craven told one participant, whose husband does most of the cooking but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include enough vegetables, that maybe she should agree to cook a vegetable if he did the rest.

Realistic steps In making healthy changes, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to lose weight, lower cholesterol, or just to eat a more nutritious diet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to do it in steps, not leaps, she said. One participant from Deschutes Brewery said she felt like she was failing in her goal to eat breakfast, something Craven recommends. She drinks a vegetable juice five days a week but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best she can do, although she knows she needs to add some protein, because two hours after the juice, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hungry again. Craven and others suggested adding protein powder or silken tofu or dry milk powder to her vegetable juice for protein. But Craven also told the woman she should not consider her breakfast goal as a failure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Credit yourself for the vegetable juice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than doing nothing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give themselves credit where credit is due.â&#x20AC;?

N Colorful Frappuccino ingredients bug some vegetarians By Melissa Allison The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — When Starbucks changed its Frappuccino mix a couple of years ago, it made sure the new ingredients were dairy-free. But no one said anything about being bug-free. Turns out the strawberry sauce used in strawberriesand-cream Frappuccinos contains cochineal extract, which is made from the bodies of ground-up insects indigenous to Latin America. A vegan barista who works for Starbucks sent a picture of the sauce’s ingredient list to a vegetarian blog called www.ThisDish IsVegetarian.com. The revelation sparked some criticism from advocacy groups questioning the practice. “The strawberry base for our Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino does contain cochineal extract, a common natural dye that is used in the food industry, and it helps us move away from artificial ingredients,” said spokesman Jim Olson. The base also is used in Starbucks’ strawberry smoothies, he said, and the insect-derived extract is in some other foods and drinks the chain sells, including its red velvet whoopie pies.

Insects everywhere Starbucks is hardly the only one. Cochineal extract and a similar ingredient called carmine, also made from the insects, are bright red and can be found in fruit juices, gelatins and other foods, as well as many makeup products. They were used for red dye in Mexico before the Spaniards arrived, and the Italian liqueur Campari originally contained carmine dye. Tropicana’s website lists carmine as a colorant in its nonrefrigerated ruby red grapefruit juice, and Dole lists cochineal extract as an ingredient in some of its fruit-in-gel products. Three years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said food and cosmetic products must declare on their labels that they contain cochineal extract or carmine. The rule went into effect in early 2011. Until then, the insect additives often were listed as “artificial colors” or “color added.”

The case for ‘real food’ The Center for Science in the Public Interest, an activist group that pushed the FDA for the new labeling requirement, said the agency should have banned the colorants altogether or at least required that the labels explain that they come from insects. “All food companies would be well advised to color their foods with real food and not either artificial dyes or an ostensibly natural dye like carmine,” said the center’s spokesman, Jeff Cronin. In the case of Starbucks’ strawberry Frappuccinos, he said, “I bet real strawberries could be used. Why simulate the color of strawberries when you could probably get a pretty good result with strawberries or beet juice or something that won’t concern your customers?” Cochineal extract and carmine cause allergic reactions in a small segment of the population, he said, and are off-limits for most Jews who keep kosher and vegans and vegetarians, who do not eat animals.

Eat more fish; risks overstated By Tamar Haspel Special to The Washington Post

Nutritional advice is usually straightforward. There are things we’re supposed to eat more of: vegetables, fruit, whole grains. There are things we’re supposed to eat less of: trans fats, added sugars, anything coated with salty orange dust. And then there’s fish. We’re supposed to eat more of it because it has healthful omega-3 fats. But we’re supposed to eat less of it because it’s full of environmental contaminants. Balancing the risks and benefits is hard, even for the doctors and scientists in the field. Absent sound advice, it’s all but impossible for those of us trying simply to decide what’s for dinner. Consider salmon. According to the joint advisory issued by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, salmon is low in mercury and safe even for pregnant women. Yet the Environmental Defense Fund, an advocacy group, suggests that all adults — not just pregnant women — limit wild salmon (except for Alaskan) to one serving per month and farmed salmon to no more than two, because of PCB contamination. This kind of disparity raises two questions: What do we know about fish, and what do we know about the advice we’re getting about fish? We certainly know that there are benefits from eating fish and risks from eating contaminants. The advantages are mostly attributed to long-chain omega-3s, polyunsaturated fats that are found in almost all fish, and almost exclusively in fish. The best-established benefits are reduction of heart disease risk and, in the case of pregnant women, improved neurodevelopment in fetuses and young children. But there’s also a slate of less wellestablished benefits, ranging from reduced stroke risk to mood elevation. The risks come from mercury and PCBs, both byproducts of industrial processes. (The U.S. banned PCBs in 1979, and environmental levels are persistent but gradually decreasing.) These contaminants accumulate in fish tissue; they become more concentrated as you go up the food chain as the bigger fish eat smaller, contaminated fish. Fish are the only predators we eat regularly, and long-lived predator species such as swordfish and tilefish generally have the highest contaminant levels. Fish are also contaminated with dioxins, which are a byproduct of incineration. But that concern isn’t fish-specific because dioxins are found up and down the food chain, and we get more dioxins from meat and dairy than from fish.

Risk vs. benefit In recent years, several scientific organizations have tried to weigh the risks of eating fish against the benefits. Notably, two groups — the Institute of Medicine in 2007 and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations working with the World Health Organization in 2010 — convened panels of nutritional, toxicological and epidemiological experts to review the data and do the math. Both groups issued guidelines for pregnant women and other adults, and their recommendations are remarkably similar. For pregnant women, their advice is in line with that of the well-known FDA/EPA joint advisory issued in 2004: Eat up to 12 ounces of fish per week, focusing on low-mercury fish and avoiding the four highestmercury fish (swordfish, shark, tilefish and king mackerel). For other adults, the advice could be summarized as “eat fish.” Dariush Mozaffarian, of the Harvard School of Public Health, a member of the FAO/WHO panel, sums up the state of fish science: “As long as you’re not a pregnant woman, the evidence suggests that the balance is always toward net benefit.” Although it’s theoretically possible that a fish could

The choice is yours Seafood is an important souce of energy, protein and other important nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which tend to lower the risk of coronary heart disease. However, many types of seafood also can accumulate toxins, particularly the heavy metal mercury, which can pose a risk to neurological development in fetuses.

be so high in contaminants and low in omega-3s that it could do you more harm than good, no such fish has been found. Even so, if you eat more than two servings of fish per week, both his group and the IOM advise that you don’t always eat the same type, so you’re not eating one contaminant over and over. So why aren’t we all just eating fish and not worrying about it? Because of warnings such as those from the Environmental Defense Fund. Its guide to fish consumption lists 21 species of which adults should eat no more than one serving per month, and that’s “assuming no other contaminated fish is consumed.” So one serving of flounder, perch or blackfin tuna would be your entire monthly allowance, and your choices for the rest of the month would be limited to the least-contaminated fish, such as halibut, sole or yellowfin tuna. Why does the EDF advice contradict that of the IOM and FAO/WHO? Because, unlike those organizations, the EDF considers only risks: It compares contaminant levels in fish to the limits set by the FDA and EPA, and advises accordingly. Timothy Fitzgerald, who developed the EDF guide, acknowledges that the guide does not try to balance risks and benefits. “There’s no widely accepted way to do that, and we tried very hard not to create our own set of equations,” he says. Mozaffarian disagrees with that approach. “We have smart, well-meaning scientists who have been educated in this framework, in which you assess risk and come up with tolerable intakes,” he says. But that’s the wrong framework, he says, because you don’t eat pure contaminants, you eat fish, and you can’t get the risks without the benefits.

Setting thresholds There is another problem with risk-only advisories: the issues with the FDA/EPA safe thresholds for mercury and PCBs. For mercury, that threshold is 0.1 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. For a 150-pound person, that would be fewer than seven micrograms a day. Swordfish, one of the most contaminated fish, can have 100 micrograms — two weeks’ allowance — in a 3.5-ounce serving. For PCBs, it’s a more complex calculation of cancer risk called a cancer slope factor. Both those numbers raise problems. The threshold for mercury was developed with reference to fetal neurodevel-

opment and, because the EPA doesn’t issue separate numbers for separate groups, it set the threshold at the level advised for pregnant women, the most vulnerable subset of the population. The PCB threshold was developed in 1997, from rat studies. Since then, researchers have questioned the applicability of the data to human risk, and in 2003 a review of all available research concluded that “the weight of evidence does not support a causal association for PCBs and human cancer.” That conclusion was echoed in a followup 2009 study. So not only do the EDF warnings fail to account for the benefits of eating fish, they may also be overstating the risks. And it’s not just the EDF: The Natural Resources Defense Council, Physicians for Social Responsibility and other groups issue similar warnings, and the EPA thresholds underpin many guides to eating seafood. The Monterey Bay Aquarium uses the EDF’s evaluation to put red asterisks next to fish whose consumption should be limited “due to concerns about mercury or other contaminants.” Many states put out similar warnings, and a 2008 study of those advisories found that not a single one emphasized benefits as much as risks, and 25 percent of advisories didn’t mention benefits at all. Fitzgerald points out that

the data from peer-reviewed research don’t tell the whole story of risk. There is anecdotal evidence for neurological problems from consumption of mercury — mostly subtle neurological problems including impairment of peripheral vision, lack of coordination of movement and muscle weakness. And experts on both sides of this question agree that it is theoretically possible to get mercury poisoning from eating a lot of high-mercury fish. We don’t know how much is too much, but it is more than Americans customarily eat. But not eating fish is also dangerous. As Mozaffarian and his colleagues at Harvard point out, the risk of dying from heart disease is about 50 percent higher among people who don’t eat fish than among those who get one or two servings of a high-fat fish each week. Since the average American eats 15.8 pounds of fish and shellfish a year (just under 5 ounces per week), the risk of too little fish seems to be the bigger threat. And it’s a threat that those risk-only advisories — and even some of the more balanced advisories — may be contributing to by scaring people away from eating fish. Jay Shimshack, an assistant professor of economics at Tulane University in New Orleans, has studied consumer response to fish advisories, particularly the 2001 FDA warning about mercury in fish, which had the unintended consequence of decreas-

ing overall fish consumption — not just of high-mercury fish, and not just among pregnant women. Even when an advisory is carefully crafted and notes the benefits of fish, people take away a message of danger. “My research suggests that people may be overly focused on the negative aspects and not focused on benefits,” said Shimshack. Mozaffarian notes that people tend to be more frightened by the threat of a harm than encouraged by the promise of a benefit. “People get confused; they get the wrong message.” The groups that issue riskonly advisories are using the tools at their disposal to promote public health, and the possibility that the advisories have had the reverse effect is a testament to the inadequacy of those tools to deal with an issue that is complex and nuanced. Public-health professionals are struggling with developing and communicating advisories that encourage optimal fish eating. While we’re waiting for advisories to improve, the best advice is simply to eat fish; the data show that the benefits outweigh the risks. If you’re pregnant, follow the FDA/EPA guidelines. If you’re not, mix up your species, and be sure to include smaller, bottom-ofthe-food-chain fish. If you’re an angler, check with local authorities for contaminant levels where you fish, and limit your consumption if those levels are high.

Rates of uninsured in Oregon About 1 in 5 Oregonians younger than 65 lacked health insurance in 2009, according to data released last week by a collaborative program of the University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Around the state, rates of uninsured varied from 15 percent in Benton County to 32 percent in Wheeler County.

Concierge Continued from F1 The fee often covers a comprehensive physical lasting more than an hour, as well as doctor’s visits and an array of extras from cellphone access and wellness programs to direct involvement in specialist referrals and hospitalizations. The fee typically does not cover hospital or specialist fees and may not include all care by the concierge doctor, so patients still need medical insurance. Concierge medical care, which got its start in Seattle in the late 1990s and has been adopted by an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 doctors, is controversial. Some critics say these relatively small practices (doctors often see a few hundred patients, rather than 2,000 to 4,000) are elitist and could contribute to a shortage of primary care physicians. In an email exchange, Michael Stillman, an internist at the Boston University School of Medicine and a critic of concierge medicine, called the practice a “blatant money grab” and raised the specter of reduced access to care. “Imagine a country in which every physician took on only a few hundred retainer fee-paying patients,” Stillman wrote. “Where would people of modest and even average incomes receive their care?” Supporters of concierge medicine say that it may encourage more medical students to pursue primary care, easing access problems in the long term, and that concierge doctors can provide free or reduced-cost service for the poor. “Ten percent of my patients are scholarship patients,” said Zwelling. “I’m able to do scholarship patients because I’m otherwise paid. The patient I saved last week in the hospital — she doesn’t pay a dime. ... As (immediate past) president of the (American Academy of Private Physicians), I keep track of my friends: Everyone has scholarship programs, and everyone’s proud to do it. It’s part of what we do.” Patients choose concierge care for a wide range of reasons; some want a doctor who will actively manage a serious illness or serve as an advocate within the medical system. Some are drawn to the convenience of concierge care, and some like the emphasis on prevention and wellness. “I felt like if I joined a practice like that it would force me to pay more attention to my health,” said Jackson Despres, 63, a real estate developer from Smithfield, R.I., who joined the concierge practice of Lewis Weiner about five years ago and has since referred six people to him. Rothman, a longtime patient of Zwelling’s, wasn’t happy when her doctor made the switch to concierge care, reducing her patient load from about 4,000 to about 400 and charging an extra fee, which now amounts to about $2,000 per year for Rothman. But Rothman is a big fan of Zwelling, whom she describes as extremely determined — “like a dog with a bone” — when it comes to pursuing health care solutions for her patients. So Rothman signed on for concierge care, as, eventually, did her husband, Dave. “Each year that we re-enroll in our concierge service we go, ‘Ohhh, that’s a lot of money,’ ” Rothman says.

What can you expect? Concierge medical care hasn’t been widely studied, so generalizations are difficult to make. But a good starting point is a 2010 study from the University of Chicago and Georgetown University for the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. Drawing on previous studies and 28 interviews with experts, advocates and doctors, the authors reported: • The typical upfront fee appears to be about $1,500 to $2,000 a year, but fees can range from $60 to $15,000. • The upfront fee may cover all office visits with the concierge doctor, but that varies. • Concierge doctors typically offer a physical exam lasting an hour or longer with an emphasis on preventive care. That might include breathing, hearing and vision tests, electrocardiogram, blood tests, and screenings for Alzheimer’s, depression and sleep problems. • Many concierge doctors offer longer-than-average office visits, same-day or next-day office visits and access to their cellphone numbers. They may also visit patients in the hospital or at home.

“But I’ll tell you what: It isn’t any money when you’ve got care like this.” Zwelling took her by the hand and walked her over to the hospital for her appendectomy, Rothman said. Zwelling donned scrubs and attended the first surgery, went back to her office to do a little paperwork, then came back to check on her. Rothman was on Plavix, a medication that helps prevent harmful blood clots but can cause excessive bleeding during surgery. But Zwelling says that in this case the surgery wouldn’t involve much bleeding and couldn’t be delayed so, having discussed the research on the issue and taken precautionary measures, the surgeon proceeded. Rothman did well in surgery, but when Zwelling came back to the hospital to check on her at about 10 p.m., Rothman’s blood pressure had dropped. Within 10 minutes, a test came back showing that her blood count had dropped as well, an indication of internal bleeding. Zwelling sprang into action, calling back the entire surgical team and ordering platelets to stop the bleeding. “She went into action like the Navy SEALs do — I mean it was incredible,” Rothman’s husband said. The surgeon opened the same incision and removed the blood clots from the first surgery, Zwelling says. The bleeding had stopped due to the platelets and, moving between the operating room and the waiting room, Zwelling was able to keep Dave Rothman informed of his wife’s progress. A few days later, Rothman was home, and Zwelling, who had checked on her by phone, said she was doing great. “I expect to have a full recovery,” Rothman said, tired but in good spirits. “And (Dr. Zwelling) will keep on top of it — that I know.”

Americans are cutting back on drugs and doctor visits Patients cut back on prescription drugs and doctor visits last year, a sign that many Americans are still struggling to pay for health care despite the economic recovery, according to a study released by a health industry research group. The report, issued by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, said 2011 was also a breakthrough year for the drug industry, which introduced 34 new medicines, the most in a decade, to treat diseases including cancer, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C and others. The number of prescriptions issued to patients declined by 1.1 percent compared to 2010, and visits to the doctor fell by 4.7 percent, the report said.

Visits to the emergency room, by contrast, increased by 7.4 percent in 2011, an increase that the report’s authors said was linked to the loss of health insurance resulting from longterm unemployment. Michael Kleinrock, director of research development at the institute, which consults for the drug industry, said his research showed that some people with health insurance at the start of the recession actually increased their visits to the doctor out of fear they were about to lose it. But as the economy has failed to strongly recover, “we’re now seeing more people reset their expectations about how often they

will use medicine.” The study found that older Americans, in particular, used fewer medicines: Prescriptions for patients 65 and older declined by 3.1 percent last year. The biggest declines were in prescriptions to treat high blood pressure and osteoporosis, according to the report. Kleinrock said senior citizens appeared to be rationing their care as they struggled to pay their increasingly expensive bills on fixed incomes. “We’re reaching a tipping point where patients will actually take that increased cost and use less medicine,” he said. — Katie Thomas, New York Times News Service

More men are swapping overalls for nursing scrubs Henk now works in the critical care unit at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich. He makes about $50,000 annually for a 36-hour workweek, although Ford’s health insurance was better.

By Tess Vigeland New York Times News Service

DETROIT — In 2007, Kurt Edwards figured he would be stacking and racking 80-pound boxes of dog food and celery in the back of a grocery store for the rest of his working life. And he was fine with that. But that June, after nine years on the job, layoff notices arrived on the warehouse floor at the Farmer Jack store in Detroit where he worked. His employer, Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co., closed the Farmer Jack chain. Today he still does a lot of lifting, but of people, not boxes. Edwards joined the ranks of former warehouse, factory and autoworkers trading in their coveralls and job uncertainty for nurses’ scrubs. At 49, divorced with no children, he now tends to patients on the graveyard shift at Sheffield Manor Nursing and Rehab Center, a two-story, gray brick building in a ramshackle neighborhood on Detroit’s west side. Interviewed last month, he says he is making about $70,000 annually, $20,000 more than he did at the warehouse. The story of how he made the transition is one that men like him appear to be telling with increasing frequency, and the demand for their services is what is setting so many of them on similar paths. Hard figures are elusive, but the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth estimates a shortage of 18,000 nurses in the state by 2015 — and the labor force is adapting. Oakland University in nearby Rochester, Mich., has established a program specifically to retrain autoworkers in nursing — about 50 a year since 2009. And the College of Nursing at Wayne State University in Detroit is enrolling a wide range of people switching to health careers, including former manufacturing workers, said Barbara Redman, its dean. “They bring age, experience and discipline,” she said.

Plan B David Pomerville brings a few more years than Edwards. A 57-year-old nursing student, he spent most of his career as an automotive vibration engineer, including almost 10 years at General Motors. His pink slip arrived in April 2009. At the time, Pomerville was earning almost $110,000 a year at the General Motors Milford Proving Ground in Milford Township, Mich. But having watched another round of bloodletting at GM three years earlier, he had already decided on nursing as his Plan B. “I thought, ‘Well, I worked on cars for this long, now I’m going to work on people for a while,’” he said.

A hot commodity

Fabrizio Costantini / New York Times News Service

Kurt Edwards started working as a nurse at Sheffield Manor Nursing and Rehab Center in Detroit after getting laid off from a job at a grocery warehouse.

A married father of two and grandfather of two, Pomerville had almost no money saved when he was laid off. But the federal Trade Readjustment Act, which aids workers who lose their jobs as a result of foreign competition, paid for nursing school tuition. His wife is a teacher, and he receives unemployment benefits. He hopes to graduate at the end of this year, and he expects his salary will be about half what he used to make.

Taking the buyout Timothy Henk ultimately decided not to try to stick it out as long as Pomerville did. Henk, 32, worked for eight years at the Ford Sterling Axle Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., installing drive shafts in the F-150 truck, and was making about $25 an hour by 2007. With overtime, he earned $70,000 a year. But as he and his wife contemplated having children, he

worried that income would not last. So in 2007, he took a buyout, which included $15,000 a year for four years to put toward education. Two friends in nursing — both women — had suggested he look into joining their profession. He researched the demand for nurses in Michigan and used the buyout money to pay his tuition at Wayne State. The amount of schooling required to be a nurse depends on the level of nursing a student chooses to pursue. Henk went through Wayne State’s four-year program to obtain a bachelor of science in nursing and then took a licensing exam to become a registered nurse, or RN. Other levels of nursing include the CNA, or certified nurse’s aide, which can require as little as eight weeks of training plus a certification exam, and LPN, or licensed practical nurse, which requires one or two years of schooling and a licensing exam.

The choice to make this switch was probably least likely for Edwards, the former grocery worker. He dropped out of college and spent four years in the Army as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. He found his unionized warehouse job after a stint working for his father, an accountant. “You have this plan, this goal,” he said. “I was going to be at this warehouse; all the guys were retiring with great benefits. I was part of the middle class, and I was going to make it.” When it became clear that he would not make it to retirement there, someone he was dating suggested nursing. Although he wrote it off as woman’s work at first, he realized he was getting a bit old for manual labor. So he returned to school, living on unemployment checks and occasional groceries from his mother. He spent the last four months of his LPN training with no electricity because he could not afford to pay any bills except rent. Once he finished, the Sheffield Manor administrator, LaKeshia Bell, pretty much hired him on the spot. “They are like a hot commodity,” she said. “A male presence actually helps us in the facility.” At 5 feet 9 inches tall and 220 pounds, Edwards lifts patients as easily as he stacked boxes.

M How to recognize preterm labor

CELEBRITY MEDICINE

Transplant was only cure for Cheney’s congestive heart failure Former Vice President Dick Cheney, 71, underwent a heart transplant last month, the latest in a long line of treatments for heart disease. Cheney sustained the first of five heart attacks in 1987 at the age of 37. He had quadruple bypass surgery in 1988, coronary artery stenting in 2000 and a balloon angioplasty in 2001. He received an implantable defibrillator in 2001 and a left ventricular assist device — a mechanical pump that helps the heart pump blood — in 2010. Cheney’s heart troubles, however, damaged his heart muscle, resulting in congestive heart failure. In general, heart failure occurs when the heart can no longer effectively pump blood, resulting in difficulty breathing, particularly during activity. When it leads to a build up of fluid in the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract or the arms and legs, it is called congestive heart failure.

Once a patient reaches end-stage heart failure, a transplant is considered the only cure. Symptoms of heart failure also include fatigue, coughing, weight gain and a need to urinate at night. The condition is treated in a variety of ways including lifestyle change, medications, medical devices and surgeries. — Markian Hawryluk, The Bulletin Sources: CelebrityDiagnosis.com, National Library of Medicine

Signs of early labor — before the 37th week of pregnancy — may be more subtle than dramatic, doctors say. “It’s not necessarily even painful,” says Dr. James Marquardt, an obstetrician/ gynecologist in Midlothian, Va. Some tips: • Be aware of contractions. They can feel as if like your abdomen is tightening like a fist every 10 minutes or less, rather than anything sharp or painful. • Pay attention to back pain ... A dull ache in the lower back can be a sign of trouble, whether the discomfort is constant or comes and goes. You also may feel more pressure or

fullness in your pelvic area, as if your baby is pushing down. • ... and cramping. Regular abdominal cramps that feel like a menstrual period or gas pains — with or without diarrhea, nausea or vomiting — aren’t a normal discomfort of pregnancy. • Don’t wait for your water to break. Even with full-term births, only about one in four women will experience the stereotypical gush of water before labor begins. But increased vaginal discharge — watery, mucus-like or bloody — can indicate preterm labor. • Stay in tune with your baby. A decrease in typical fetal movement may need at-

Wetting

Long journey ends with a new heart

Continued from F1 Unlike many pediatricians, who view it as a phase that children will eventually outgrow, Hodges said he thinks most bed wetting and potty accidents are caused by chronic constipation. Since the book was published it has gotten considerable attention, with excerpts and articles in the Chicago Tribune and on popular websites such as Slate and the parenting website Babble. The reaction has been intense; among the hundreds of comments on the articles are grateful parents, angry parents and disbelieving doctors. Hodges readily acknowledges it’s an idea that hasn’t caught on with mainstream medicine. “What we’re dealing with is facing resistance to what we think is a pretty simple idea,” he said. “Accidents are not normal in kids.” But Hodges has evidence, published in a respected medical journal, to show that many children who have issues after they have been potty-trained are constipated. In his study, he analyzed 30 patients between the ages of 5 and 15 who were referred to him for bed wetting. Shown on X-ray, 80 percent of the kids showed symptoms of constipation, despite that only 10 percent complained of symptoms of constipation. Once the constipation was treated, the bed wetting stopped in nearly all of the patients. With apologies to readers squeamish about stool, Hodges’ theory is that many kids hold in their poop because they don’t want to be bothered to go to the bathroom. Others may be constipated because they don’t get enough fiber, or even because some schools only allow bathroom breaks at certain times. Whatever the cause, stool builds up in the intestine. Hodges said even kids who go the bathroom every day may not fully evacuate their bowels and can harbor a mass of stool. That mass presses on the bladder, making the bladder contract more often and causing accidents. Hodges has used X-rays on many of his patients with wetting problems to

big change, but this time it was the one I had been waiting for the past six months.

By Steven Ross Johnson Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — It was 4:30 a.m. on a Monday when I got the call to come to Northwestern Memorial Hospital — a heart had become available. I remember the exact time because I was already wide awake working on a story that was due later that day. I could barely make out the words the nurse was telling me over the phone. I felt as though I was outside of myself watching the whole scene unfold. My wife, Jill, just happened to wake up and make her nightly trip to the bathroom when she saw me on the phone with a stunned look on my face. “What is it?” she said. “That was the hospital,” I responded. “It’s time.” Her eyes widened. “You mean they have it?” “They got it,” I said. Up until that time it was easier to think of the heart as an object or a thing that I was receiving. It wasn’t until the car ride to the hospital that I really began to think about what was about to happen. I felt as if I was coming to the end of a long journey, a journey that began for me almost a decade ago and has since changed my life in ways I could not have imagined. To say it came as a shock the day nine years ago when I was first diagnosed with a heart condition would be an understatement. But then again, given the circumstances in which I was told, I guess it shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise. I was celebrating my 30th birthday in the intensive care unit of the hospital after trying to soldier through what I thought was a nasty virus but what ended up being a severe case of pneumonia. “We discovered an abnormality with your heart,” the doctor said. “Your heart is pumping blood at about half the rate it should.” It was the first time that I heard the technical term for my diagnosis: dilated cardiomyopathy, or a weakening of the heart muscle that makes it unable to pump blood at a normal rate.

The inevitable For a time, it was fairly easy to ignore what was coming. I went to graduate school, interned overseas and got a job for several years as a reporter. It was not until last summer that my health took a very rapid turn for the worse. At the time, I was working from home as a freelance writer and had just finished a phone interview when I felt extremely light-headed and heard a crackling sound coming from my lungs. I knew I was in trouble, but I ignored the increasing pains in my chest and my uncontrollable coughing and took myself to bed for some rest. I made it to the hospital in the middle of July, breathing heavily and barely able to tell the physicians what I was experiencing. Despite the severity, I still held on to the belief that a simple visit to emergency room hooked up to an oxy-

gen tank for a couple of hours was all I would need. I spent the next couple of weeks being closely monitored in the intensive care unit. My wife and family came to visit often. This broke up the boredom for a few hours but also left me with an overwhelming sense of guilt once they left. A team of doctors had been preparing me for a heart transplant since 2008 because the function of my own heart had deteriorated far past the point where medications or therapies could help. I had several things in my favor that made me likely to receive a heart quicker than most. For one, I was 38 years old, which meant I had a better chance of surviving the surgery and that I more likely would be strong enough to recover. Also, with my blood type being AB-positive, it made me a universal candidate who could take an organ from any other blood type. The doctors assured me that for these reasons, I would get a heart quickly. I started feeling more at ease with the idea of getting a new heart. I started to believe life would go back to the way it used to be close to a decade ago. Of course, that was just the latest in a long list of delusions I had about my situation. It turned out I was too sick to receive a heart right away. I would first need what is called a ventricular assist device, or VAD, implanted to help my heart pump blood so that my body could get well enough to have a better chance of accepting a new heart.

Living with VAD A few months after surgery to implant the VAD, my strength had built back up and I was getting around a little more easily. But emotionally, I had no desire to get

around, as I spent my days lying in bed feeling like I was in some sort of limbo. I became depressed. I was embarrassed to go out in public and stayed indoors as much as possible. Even though I had been medically cleared to begin working again, I had lost all desire to write. I told myself that I would simply wait it out until the new heart arrived, and then I could pick up in life where I had left off. VAD patients can never be left alone, given that any of the device’s several alarms indicating a problem could sound. Because of that, my brother, Mark, would stay with me from morning through early evening, until my wife got back from work. After several weeks, he suggested I talk with a therapist about everything that was going on, which after some reservation, I eventually agreed to do. It turned out the psychologist had the perfect advice. She said I should get back to work. Writing is all I ever wanted to do, and as a person who has admittedly been a cynic most of his life, I find that journalism is the perfect medium for those with decent writing skills but who lack the imagination of a novelist. I started small, taking on assignments where I could work from home and making sure not to take on too many stories at one time. It worked out pretty well for several months. By the beginning of this year, I started to feel like my old self, or as normal as a person can feel with a cord sticking out of their side. I was starting to learn how to live life with the VAD, and the embarrassment about being seen in public was going away fast. With all my newfound momentum, I should have known I was in for another

Arriving at the hospital Jan. 23 to get a new heart was a bit of a letdown compared with the scenario that had played over and over in my head, a scenario that was no doubt the result of years of watching TV medical dramas. There was no mad rush to get me into an operating room. Instead, a very patient nurse calmly led me to a hospital bed where I fell asleep for hours until I was wheeled off to surgery. About seven hours later, I awoke and it was done, finally done. Out of instinct, I immediately reached for my left side to search for my VAD battery bag, but it was no longer there. Neither was the soft humming sound that came from my implanted pump in place of an actual heart beat. After so many months, I could finally again hear a thumping coming from my chest. It has now been nearly two months since my surgery, and as anyone who has ever gone through this experience can attest, there are major changes to get used to. First, I will remain dependent on drugs — a lot of drugs — for the rest of my life. Those drugs have some serious side effects, such as causing the body’s immune system to be suppressed. It means that the slightest hint of a cold or virus must get checked out at the hospital. Second, throughout the first year after the surgery I will be constantly monitored, undergoing regular biopsies to make sure my body doesn’t reject the new heart. It turns out a majority of heart transplant patients have some form of rejection within the first few months after surgery, with varying degrees, of course. Third, the new heart has a life span of its own. I have about 20 years, if I’m lucky, before I will need to undergo another transplant. Finally, open-heart surgery is a traumatic event for the body, taking up to a year before a person has fully recovered. Despite all I have been through, I am finding this current problem one of the most difficult to deal with, and, as a result, my family has to remind me constantly not to do too much too fast. These days, it feels like my life is a tale of two ends of the emotional spectrum. There are days when I am so elated and full of exuberance that it would rival Mary Poppins. Other days are melancholy, which fills me with guilt. As much as I tell myself I have absolutely no right to feel anything but happy and grateful for the rest of my life, I occasionally feel sad and angry. But I have come to realize that feeling bad at times is OK. After all, it’s all a part of life. I can’t seem to quell my desire to make up for lost time. Thanks to the selfless act of an organ donor I will never meet, I now have the time to learn how to savor every second of the rest of my life.

tention. • Err on the side of caution. Call your doctor with concerns and follow advice, which can include resting on your left side or drinking two or three glasses of water or juice to see if you feel better. If symptoms worsen or return — or if there’s any doubt in your mind — ask for a checkup or head to a hospital. • Report any problems. Tell your doctor about abnormal symptoms even if they go away. Also share any history of preterm birth, which is a risk factor for early labor in subsequent pregnancies. — By Alison Johnson, Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

show that many have these masses of poop in their intestines. “Constipation is almost always the cause,” he said. “I see it as, ‘This is obvious.’ ” It’s not just his theory that puts him out of the mainstream of medicine. It’s the idea that accidents need to be treated at all. Local pediatricians said that bed wetting is a normal part of development, something parents and kids go through and outgrow and that rarely causes harm. “Bed wetting is really common,” said Dr. Kim Wollmuth, a pediatrician at Central Oregon Pediatric Associates in Bend. “Most pediatricians would have few concerns about a 5-year-old bed wetter who has no daytime accidents and who is otherwise growing and developing normally.” Dr. Neil Ernst, at St. Charles Family Care in Redmond, said that he too counsels parents that bed wetting is a normal developmental stage. “I push off intervening,” he said. “I’m not real keen on treating girls under the age of 5 and boys under the age of 6.” Schlosberg said she wanted treatment for her son and took him to their pediatrician at Bend Memorial Clinic. That pediatrician, Schlosberg said, “was really great” and used an X-ray to show that the child was constipated. Using therapies that included enemas and laxatives, the boy was flushed out. He stopped having accidents soon after, Schlosberg said, though he still takes a laxative. The pediatrician at BMC was unavailable for comment, according to a spokeswoman at the clinic. Both Wollmuth and Ernst said that constipation can be associated with accidents. Ernst said he includes it in his evaluation of kids who come in with these problems. But both said they didn’t see it as the primary cause of bed wetting or accidents. Hodges said he’s now getting a lot of emails from parents frustrated about their children’s problems and unable to get help from a local physician. “Pediatricians are dealing with a bunch of other stuff. It’s not life-threatening and it doesn’t affect anybody’s growth … so, it’s not thought of as a big problem,” he said. “It’s not seen as a medical problem, when it really is.” — Reporter: 541-383-0375, bcliff@bendbulletin.com

F Avoid back pain while traveling

School E XE RCIS E MYTHS Swim great for many things, but not weight loss Ever wonder if you’re really making the best use of your workout? With the help of a local expert, we’ll uncover five common fitness myths in a five-part, weekly series. What you learn could change the way you exercise. Myth No. 4: Swimming is a great weight loss activity. Fact: Although swimming is good for increasing lung capacity and toning muscles, it will not help you lose much weight. The buoyancy of the water supports your body, so you’re not working as hard as you would if you were moving as you do while running. Furthermore, according to Eric Harr, a professional triathlete and fitness expert, it’s common to be ravenous after swimming, which may cause some to overeat. Best practice: Choose cycling or circuit weight training as a weight-loss activity. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

Related research The American College of Sports Medicine held a conference in November about exercise, cognition and academic achievement. Researchers presented numerous studies suggesting that physical activity improved cognitive tasks in many ways, from improving vocabulary to the speed with which a child is able to process questions. Researchers discussed an array of methods. Some simply compared body fat measurements to academic achievement. Others offered cognitive skills tests before and after physical activities. Activities ranged from traditional school sports to active video games. One study of almost 300 kids in Finland concluded that the higher the level of a child’s activity, the higher his or her grades. Fit kids crossed streets more safely, according to another study. Most of the studies were done with typical children. But some focused on special populations. For example, in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, one study found that single episodes of moderately intense aerobic exercise might serve as a nonpharmaceutical treatment option to improve cognitive health, academic performance and overall effective functioning. Another study looked at adults with Down syndrome and said cognitive and motor improvements came after assisted exercise on a stationary bike. Overall, among the dozens of studies discussed at the ACSM conference, most suggested that performance on tasks requiring executive brain function improved after vigorous physical activity. Some suggested the more intense the activity, the greater the cognitive performance.

Exercise is hard, but it’s worth it The conversation started this way: “Working out does suck. And it’s hard work.” That’s fitness expert Chuck Runyon, whose book title — “Working Out Sucks!” — immediately caught my attention. Finally, I thought, here’s an experienced trainer (he co-founded the huge workout franchise Anytime Fitness) who says what we’re all thinking. Obviously, Runyon doesn’t believe we should stay stuck on the couch and have another doughnut. He’s a fitness guru, after all. But he does offer common sense advice on how to place one foot in front of the other on the hard road to feeling and looking better. Some tips from Runyon and his book: • Start moving slowly. “If you’re a sedentary person, if that’s onetenth of a mile, great. It’s like a slow build. You don’t need to shock your system.” • “Broadcast your goals. Make sure that people (friends and family) know what you’re trying to accomplish.” Enlist their help and support. • “Write down your goals. Accountability is the magic ingredient. If you write them down, they exist. Now they’re real. Set short- and longterm goals.” • “Find your motivation. It’s not about what the scale says. Is it for your kids? To be a role model? Maybe you want to be wealthy. Healthy and fit workers make more (money) than their unhealthy, unfit co-workers.” • Build in incentives — perhaps one day to eat a favorite dessert. — By Ellen Warren, Chicago Tribune

Movement is a large part of a child’s development, said Carol Hammett, the principal at Amity Creek Elementary in Bend, who did her bachelor’s and master’s work in physical education. The younger the kid, the more movement necessary, she said. Breaking up sedentary time during a schoolday “wakes up the body and the brain,” she said. It makes a kid more attentive. Movement can include anything from walking across the room to a more brain-engaging exercise, such as touching the left hand to the right shoulder. Hammett doesn’t think it matters too much what form it takes — unstructured recess play, action-based learning exercises in the classroom, active video games, etc. She just wants to see kids get their hearts pumping, so blood and oxygen flows to their brains. Kids will gravitate to different things, Hammett said. “If the activity engages the child, it’s a good thing.”

Education in action Some local students are getting moments of movement amid their academics. On a recent morning in a colorful, cluttered Lava Ridge Elementary School kindergarten classroom in Bend, the ceilings dripped with paper chains and the windows were pasted with artwork. Teacher Jill Misener roused about 20 students from the tables where they sat writing numbers. “We’re going to stop and take a break,” she said. The kids gathered on a rug on one side of the room. Misener turned on music and a male voice led the students: Clap, snap, pat, pat. The kids clapped their hands, snapped their fingers, patted their thighs, following instructions. The routines changed order. They required listening and focus. Next, a vowel song inspired kids to bounce and rock their heads as they sang along: “AE-I-O-U.” They thrust their little pinkies in the air when they sang about “I.” Misener pointed to the vowels projected on a wall screen. Then Misener said, “Now we’re going to go back to our morning jobs and finish those.” The classroom was

Fourth-graders take an activity break from their sedentary studies, using a video game that’s similar to the popular Dance Dance Revolution game, at Tom McCall Elementary School in Redmond recently.

“Kids are innately physically active. As a teacher, I want to continue to promote this trait within the classroom because not only does this help maintain healthy habits for the kids, but research has shown that associating a physical activity with academic content helps increase retention.” — Lauren Kittleson, kindergarten teacher at Bear Creek Elementary

quiet as the kids returned to their tables. That was a “brain break.” It’s the kind of thing Misener does periodically throughout the day to let the little ones get their wiggles out. It’s also a little bit of trickery to help students move their bodies for better physical health, she admitted. Across town on a different day, while another class of kindergartners at Bear Creek Elementary identified and pronounced letters and words projected on the wall, their teacher, Lauren Kittleson, said, “Everyone stand up! Run in place, quietly. While you’re doing it, you’re going to spell ‘sea.’ ” The children jogged and shouted: “S-E-A.” In a lesson about capital and lowercase letters, Kittleson identified a capital letter and students stood up. A lowercase letter signaled them to sit. Up, down, up, down. Later, they acted out vocabulary words. “Squeeze” prompted self-hugs, or handclasping. “Wide” meant kids stood with feet far apart and arms stretched out. “Kids are innately physically active. As a teacher, I want to continue to promote this trait within the classroom because not only does this help maintain healthy habits for the kids, but research has shown that associating a physical activity with academic content helps increase retention,” she said. When Kittleson asks her students the meaning of a vocabulary word, they often can’t say it without recalling the associated movement.

Active video gaming Heather Renz, a fourthgrade teacher at Tom McCall Elementary School in the Redmond School District, has used what’s called ExerLearning — active brain games — in her classes. ExerLearning was conceived by a local woman, Judy Shasek, a former fitness and education consultant, public school teacher and curriculum designer. ExerLearning strategies combine active computer and gaming technology with the academic learning environment. Renz used an active gaming

The best activity for learning In Italian study published in the March issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers questioned which kinds of activities might work best for improving school children’s learning. Researchers compared the level and quality of children’s attention before and after three different sessions: 1) Physical exertion — 50 minutes that included warm-ups, aerobic circuit training and running, and a cool-down. 2) Physical exertion that incorporated cognitive skills, similar in physical intensity to the first session, but the activities included games, problem solving skills and manipulative motor skills

system a lot when she worked across town at Vern Patrick Elementary School and had a good space to set it up right outside her classroom door. She arranged play stations with dance mats and gave students opportunities to exercise with video dance games called “In the Groove,” similar to the popular “Dance Dance Revolution.” Students could have a 10- to 20-minute burst of exercise prior to difficult tasks that required cognitive skills, such as math and reading. She found students concentrated better after the activity. She

such as ball-handling, timing and spatial skills. 3) Cognitive exertion only, a 50-minute academic class about humanistic subjects. Post-session scores improved for all students in all categories. But the greatest improvements came after the physical exertion only sessions. Students’ thinking skills didn’t improve as much after the sessions that combined physical exertion mixed with cognitive skills. Researchers speculated that could be due to an excessive stress load from the mixed exertion. The study concluded that physical activity in the school day helps children concentrate on their academic work. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

also said the year she had a dedicated program, her students’ state testing scores were better. Of course, many kids loved it. “I wish more people were doing this around here. It works,” she said. “We’re really focused on the test scores, but for me it’s more than the test score, its the whole child. The fitness piece with the cognitive piece. There’s so much research that says it’s connected.” — Reporter: 541-383-0304, aaurand@bendbulletin.com

DAYTON, Ohio — According to a study by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, some of the most common causes of back and neck pain include lying, sitting or standing in awkward positions for prolonged periods of time, such as during long car rides, extended flights or sleeping on a mattress that doesn’t provide proper support. Dr. Jay M. Lipoff, a certified fitness trainer (www.back atyourbest.com), offers these travel tips to help keep your spine healthy: •Sit right. Adjusting your car seat can help you avoid stiffness, strains and soreness after a long drive. It should be tilted slightly backward and knees elevated slightly higher than the hips. If possible, take breaks and get up and move around, stretching your legs and back. •Stretch your neck. At stoplights or rest stops, do neck exercises. Examples are gentle side-to-side head turns or moving the ear toward the shoulder. •Start out slowly. When the back is idle for 20 minutes or longer, fluids creep back into the disc. As fluids enlarge the disc, it becomes more vulnerable. So when you arrive at your destination after a long drive, instead of jumping right out of the car, take a few minutes to just do some gentle stretches, reducing the fluid buildup in your disc area. •Lighten your load. Before you even get into that crowded and cramped airplane seat, you face a bigger hazard: luggage. Pack as lightly as you can manage and take advantage of curbside check-in if available so you don’t have to haul the bags yourself. A few bucks as a tip to keep your back healthy? Priceless. •Fly in comfort. Onboard the plane, place a neck pillow or rolled-up blanket or towel behind your neck to support it so the headrest isn’t pushing your head forward. Do the same behind your lower back to support the lumbar spine. If possible, use your carry-on like a footstool to raise your knees above the level of your hips.
