Deschutes Democrats’ numbers down from ’08 By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Deschutes County Democrats have lost more than 2,700 voters in the nearly four years since the 2008 presidential election, reopening the long-standing gap between the number of registered Democratic and Re-

publican voters in Central Oregon. As of the end of March, registered Republicans outnumbered registered Democrats by slightly over 5,000 voters in Deschutes County, and held a proportionally larger advantage in Crook and Jefferson counties. However, the lon-

ger-term trend suggests the gap is narrowing in Deschutes County, and representatives of the two major parties are working to expand their ranks with aggressive voter registration campaigns. With the May primary just over three weeks away, individuals who

are not yet registered or need to change their registration have until the end of the day Tuesday to do so. Those who do not register in time for the May primary will still have until Oct. 16 to register to vote in the fall election. See Voters / A5

Millsite Landscape Services employee Marcos Castro, 30, of Bend, rebuilds a retaining wall last week in the roundabout at the intersection of Northwest 14th Street and Galveston Avenue in Bend. In March, Brooks Resources Corp. and William Smith Properties, Inc., donated funds to landscape more than 20 of Bend’s roundabouts. The city, which ran short on funds to maintain the roundabouts almost three years ago, let landscaping efforts slide. At left, a roundabout on Reed Market Road awaits attention. Once the landscaping is complete, as with the two roundabouts pictured below on Simpson Avenue, the landscapers will provide plans for volunteers to use in the future.

Deschutes County’s government is on track to pay less for employee medical claims this year. It would be the first such decline since 2001, when the county launched its self-insured health plan. County staff attributed the decrease in claims to an onsite clinic, which the county opened in February 2011 to rein in health costs. Employees and their dependents receive free services and a limited range of prescription drugs at the clinic. In the next few weeks, the county plans to open a pharmacy to provide free generic drugs and lower-cost brand-name drugs for employees. County staff hope to save at least 20 percent on these prescription pharmaceuticals. Dave Inbody, assistant to the county administrator, said he expects the clinic will save the county $500,000 in the current budget year. “I think we’re on track to go half a million, because we have three months (of the fiscal year) left,” Inbody said. The county calculates these savings by adding up the clinic costs, dividing the total by the number of patient visits and comparing that number with the average cost of an office visit to a local health care provider. These savings have already paid for the startup cost of $176,000 to open the clinic. “Certainly this will be the best year in terms of the amount of claims expense,” said Marty Wynne, the county finance director and treasurer. According to Wynne’s latest estimate, the county will end the year with health care claims down 2 percent, or nearly $280,000, from last year. Medical claims rose every year since the county launched its selfinsured plan in 2001. Last year, they increased by 9 percent. “They have been going up at a pretty good clip for several years,” Wynne said. The county does not include the onsite clinic costs, which totalled $857,000 for the past 12 months, in the medical claims. See Deschutes / A5

Secret Service scandal presents dilemma to Obama By Helene Cooper New York Times News Service

At Virginia Tech, computers help solve a math class problem By Daniel de Vise The Washington Post

BLACKSBURG, Va. — There are no professors in Virginia Tech’s largest classroom, only a sea of computers and red plastic cups. In the Math Emporium, the computer is king, and

instructors are reduced to roving guides. Lessons are self-paced, and help is delivered “on demand” in a vast, windowless lab that is open 24 hours a day because computers never tire. A student in need of human aid plants a red cup atop a monitor. See Instruction / A2

WASHINGTON — Just before Air Force One begins its descent, a group of agents huddle in a cabin near the back to study a map, a diagram and a step-by-step itinerary detailing the president’s every move once he steps off the plane. It is an old ritual, this last operational runthrough for the special agents of the presidential protective division, the most elite of the Secret Service agents and the last barrier between the commander in chief and a host of threats. This ritual is a big reason President Barack Obama has been so reluctant to criticize the Secret Service, as the agency reels from a scandal over suspected misconduct involving prostitutes during a trip to Cartagena, Colombia. “How do you stand up and criticize people who have pledged to take a bullet for you?” one Obama administration official said on Friday, speaking on the grounds of anonymity. “How do you do that?” See Secret Service / A5

Is it safe? Seafood’s environmental credentials are called into question By Juliet Eilperin The Washington Post

Seafood counters used to be simpler places, where a fish was labeled with its name and price. Nowadays, it carries more information than a used-car listing. Where did it swim? Was it farm-raised? Was it ever frozen? How much harm was done to the ocean by fishing it? Many retailers tout the environmental credentials of their seafood, but a growing number of scientists have begun to question whether these certification systems deliver on their promises. The labels give customers a false impression that purchasing certain products helps the ocean more than it really does, some researchers say. Backers respond that they are helping transform many of the globe’s wild-caught fisheries, giving them a financial incentive to include environmental safeguards, while giving consumers a sense of what they can eat with a clear conscience. To add to the confusion, there are a variety of certification labels and guides, prompting retailers to adopt a hybrid approach, relying on multiple seafood rating systems or establishing their own criteria and screening products that way. As of Sunday, for example, Whole Foods stopped selling seafood listed as “red” by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Blue Ocean Institute — including octopus, gray sole and Atlantic halibut — because these species are either overfished or caught in a way that harms ocean habitat or other species. The move has sparked criticism from New England fishermen, who are now barred from selling to the upscale chain. Whole Foods also sells only pole- or line-caught canned tuna, which harms fewer species than conventional tuna-fishing methods. Target no longer sells farmed salmon — which has come under fire for consuming a disproportionate amount of forage fish and creating several other problems — and has pledged that by 2015 it will sell only fresh and frozen fish that are “sustainable and traceable.” Beginning in June, Wal-Mart, the

Instruction Continued from A1 The Emporium is the WalMart of higher education, a triumph in economy of scale and a glimpse at a possible future of computer-led learning. Eight thousand students a year take introductory math in a space that once housed a discount department store. Four math instructors, none of them professors, lead seven courses with enrollments of 200 to 2,000. Students walk to class through a shopping mall, past a health club and a tanning salon, as ambient Muzak plays. It sounds like the antithesis of the collegiate ideal — a journey of learning shared by students and faculty. Parents sometimes ask why their children are not getting more professorial face time in math when they are spending $17,365 (in-state) or $31,336 (out-of-state) in tuition, fees and living expenses to attend the prestigious public university. But Virginia Tech students pass introductory math courses at a higher rate now than 15 years ago, when the Emporium was built. And research has found the teaching model trims per-student expense by more than one-third, vital savings for public institutions with dwindling state support. “When I first came here, I was like, ‘This is the dumbest thing ever,’” said Mike Bilynsky, a freshman from Epping, N.H., who is taking calculus. “But it works.” No academic initiative has delivered more handsomely on the oft-stated promise of efficiency via technology in higher education, said Carol Twigg, president of the National Center for Aca-

rankings for commonly eaten fish in 1998, said that a decade ago, eating a piece of fish was akin to eating a piece of bread. “You just picked it up and ate it. It wasn’t subject to any discussion or inquiry,” he said. “Now it’s a broad discussion about where it came from, about whether it’s sustainable. This is enormous progress compared to the change we’ve made to any other form of food production in the same amount of time.” The most stringent and commonly used certification is that of the Marine Stewardship Council, which has certified 148 wild-caught fisheries, or between 6 and 7 percent of the global supply. It uses independent reviewers to determine whether a fishery earns an MSC-certified label and can be classified as sustainable — meaning that the fish is relatively abundant, the fishery is well managed and catching it does not harm other species or ocean habitats. It is a measure of the attention focused on the world’s fish stocks that the council’s work

has come under scrutiny. A study published online last week in the journal Marine Policy showed that, for fish stocks where there was sufficient information, 31 percent of MSC-certified stocks were overfished and subject to continuing overfishing. “Certifiers must sharpen their criteria and close any loopholes,” said Rainer Froese, a senior scientist at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and lead author of the study, who said consumers should still buy certified seafood. “Given that there are thousands of (fish) stocks, there needs to be some guidance on which ones you can eat and have a good conscience.” MSC officials have questioned the Marine Policy analysis, saying it exaggerated the rate of overexploitation by not adequately accounting for year-to-year fluctuations in fish stocks. “The MSC standard is consistent with best practice and specifically excludes fisheries that are overfished,” David Agnew, the council’s director of standards, said in a statement. “They don’t certify perfect fisheries. They certify wellmanaged fisheries,” said Michael Sutton, the Monterey Bay Aquarium vice president, who helped set up the certification system while working at the World Wildlife Fund. For operators such as Scott Taylor, co-founder of Day Boat Seafood in Lake Park, Fla., spending more than three years and over $100,000 to be certified by the MSC in December was a worthwhile business proposition. Taylor sells swordfish caught with long lines and buoy gear in his Atlantic Ocean fishery, and he has pledged to have observers on all of his boats within five years to ensure that they minimize the number of turtles and sharks caught accidentally. But several researchers and environmentalists question whether every MSC-certified fishery meets those high standards, and they say that a few questionable ones undermine the better-managed fisheries.

schools has yet embraced a fully “computer-mediated” math course. “I don’t see it replacing the kind of high-level instruction that takes place here,” said Doug Ulmer, math chairman at Georgia Tech. In the Emporium, the computer is teacher. Even after 15 years, that represents radical change. University Mall in Blacksburg was a dying hulk when Virginia Tech swept in to renovate the old Roses department store, a $2 million transformation that yielded 60,000 square feet of teaching space and 537 computers arranged in six-person pods. It was an experiment born of desperation. In the mid-1990s, Virginia Tech was growing and state subsidies were shrinking, forcing faculty cuts. Classes were being taught in a basket-

ball arena, and labs were running past 11 p.m. Emporium designers removed all the strictures of the conventional university class. Instead of attending three lectures a week, students could come to the lab when they pleased. Instead of 100 instructors leading hundreds of class sections, a rotating staff of about 12 would roam the lab, dispensing help as needed. The lab now accommodates 5,000 students in fall and 3,000 in spring, freeing up dozens of Virginia Tech classrooms. “You don’t have to have a big lab to do what we do,” said Terri Bourdon, the senior math instructor who runs the Emporium. “You don’t have to have the big staff that we have. You just have to have the philosophy that we have, which is that you learn math by doing math.”

A new study by German scientists found that of seafood stocks for which data was available, almost a third labeled “sustainable” by the Marine Stewardship Council are actually overfished.

It may be an idea whose time has come. Since its creation in 1997, the Emporium model has spread to the universities of Alabama and Idaho (in 2000) and to Louisiana State University (in 2004). Interest has swelled as of late; Twigg says the Emporium has been adopted by about 100 schools. “How could computers not change mathematics?” said Peter Haskell, math department chairman at Virginia Tech. “How could they not change higher education? They’ve changed everything else.” Emporium courses include pre-calculus,calculus,trigonometry and geometry, subjects taken mostly by freshmen to satisfy math requirements. The format seems to work best in subjects that stress skill development — such as solving problems over and over. Computer-led lessons show promise for remedial English instruction and perhaps foreign language, Twigg said. Machines will never replace humans in poetry seminars. Computer-based problem sets and online lectures are now commonplace at Caltech, Georgia Tech, MIT and Purdue. Leaders in the math-science community applaud Virginia Tech for its innovation. “I’m a strong believer in the experimentation that’s going on now,” said Jean-Lou Chameau, president of Caltech. “More and more of our professors, all of the materials they are going to provide in class are available online.” But none of those top tech

TEEN’S DEATH

Shooter in Martin case is out on bail

By Liz Sly The Washington Post

By Christine Armario The Associated Press

SANFORD, Fla. — In an unusually low-key turn to a high-profile case, George Zimmerman was released without incident around midnight Sunday from a Florida county jail on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag. He walked out following another man and didn’t look over at photographers gathered outside. He then followed the man into a white BMW vehicle and drove away. Moments before, two Seminole County sheriff’s vehicles blocked access to the intake building parking lot where Zimmerman was being released. Zimmerman emerged after two public information officers confirmed the credentials of the photographers outside. No questions were shouted at Zimmerman, and he gave no statement. His ultimate destination is being kept secret for his safety and it could be outside Florida. As with the July 2011 release of Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted of murder in the death of her daughter, Zimmerman was released around midnight. But the similarities end there. Anthony was quickly whisked away by deputy sheriffs armed with semiautomatic rifles as angry protesters jeered her. While news helicopters briefly tracked her SUV through Orlando before she slipped from public view, there was no such pursuit of Zimmerman, who will have to return for trial. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said at a hearing Friday that Zimmerman cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to6 a.m. curfew. Zimmerman also surrendered his passport. Zimmerman had to put up 10 percent, or $15,000, to make bail. His father had indicated he might take out a second mortgage. Zimmerman worked at a mortgage risk-management company at the time of the shooting and his wife is in nursing school. A website was set up to collect donations for Zimmerman’s defense fund. It is unclear how much has been raised.

Afghan soldiers, left, walk past a U.S. Army soldier last year outside of a military base in Afghanistan. On Sunday, Afghan and U.S. officials finalized a long-awaited strategic partnership deal that pledges U.S. support for Afghanistan for 10 years after the withdrawal of troops at the end of 2014.

With pact, U.S. to help Afghans for years to come By Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — After months of negotiations, the United States and Afghanistan on Sunday completed drafts of the strategic partnership agreement that pledges U.S. support for Afghanistan for 10 years after the withdrawal of troops at the end of 2014. The agreement, whose text was not released, represents an important moment as the United States begins the transition from being the predominant foreign force in Afghanistan to serving a more traditional role of supportive ally. By broadly redefining the relationship between Afghanistan and the United States, the deal builds on hard-won new understandings the two countries reached in recent weeks on the thorny issues of

Afghanistan, some countries were holding back, waiting to see what the United States, the leader in shaping Afghan policy, would do. Western diplomats said Sunday that the allies would now be more willing to make commitments. The agreement — sweeping by design, with few details to bog down negotiators — puts down in writing for the first time the nature of the relationship the United States will have with Afghanistan once the bulk of U.S. troops go home. It is meant to reassure the Afghan people that the United States will not abandon them, to warn the Taliban not to assume that they can wait out the West and to send a message to Pakistan, which U.S. officials believe has been hedging its bets in the belief that a U.S. departure would leave the Taliban in charge.

Observers tour rebel-held town BEIRUT — U.N. cease-fire monitors toured a rebel-held town in central Syria on Sunday with army defectors, while government troops pounded a Damascus suburb with artillery and heavy machine guns, activists said. The shelling in Douma highlighted the need for more observers a day after the Security Council voted to expand the number of U.N. observers from 30 to 300 in hopes of salvaging an international truce plan marred by continued fighting between the military and rebels. An eight-member team is already on the ground in Syria, and since Thursday has visited flashpoints of the 13-month-long conflict. Fighting generally halts temporarily when the observers are present in an area, but there has been a steady stream of reports of violence from towns and regions where they have not yet gone.

Myanmar opposition Czechs protest new objects to oath austerity measures HONG KONG — Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader in Myanmar, and 42 members of her party who won seats in Parliament this month, insist they will not take the oath of office today unless one word in it is changed: Instead of swearing to “safeguard” the country’s current constitution, they want to say they will “respect” it. So far, the government has not agreed. The matter is serious enough for a spokesman for the party to say it was “highly unlikely” the newly elected members would be sworn in, which would be a significant setback to liberalization in a country that has been starting to move away from decades of dictatorship. The Associated Press reported Sunday that the opposition lawmakers would not attend the opening of Parliament on today.

At times they broke down altogether, primarily because of geopolitical frictions in the region from two powerful neighbors, Iran and Pakistan. Each country opposes long-term U.S. ties with Afghanistan. The U.S. and Afghan negotiators have been working hard in recent days to complete the draft so that it could be signed before a NATO conference in Chicago on May 20. There, decisions are to be made on how much money and support will be provided to the Afghan security forces after 2014 and by whom. Lacking certainty about a long-term U.S. commitment to

BEIRUT — As Syria’s revolution drags into its second year amid few signs that a U.N.-mandated cease-fire plan will end the violence, evidence is mounting that Islamist extremists are seeking to commandeer what began as a non-ideological uprising aimed at securing greater political freedom. Activists and rebel soldiers based inside Syria say a small but growing number of Islamist radicals affiliated with global jihadi movements have been arriving in opposition strongholds in recent weeks and attempting to rally support among disaffected residents. Western diplomats say they have tracked a steady trickle of jihadists flowing into Syria from Iraq, and Jordan’s government last week detained at least four alleged Jordanian militants accused of trying to sneak into Syria to join the revolutionaries. A previously unknown group calling itself the alNusra Front has asserted responsibility for bombings in the cities of Damascus and Aleppo using language and imagery reminiscent of the statements and videos put out by al-Qaida-affiliated organizations in Iraq.

PARIS — Czechs over the weekend staged some of the biggest demonstrations in their country since the fall of Communism, taking to the streets to protest the austerity measures and rampant corruption that have brought the center-right government to the brink of collapse. The police said that up to 90,000 students, workers and senior citizens marched in Wenceslas Square, the historic heart of Prague. On Saturday they carried banners saying “Stop Thieves.” In a country where people tend to air their grievances in the pub rather than the street, analysts said the protests reflected the deep discontent of everyday people who faced new increases in sales and income taxes, as well as about $3.02 billion in spending cuts next year. — From wire reports

plans would postpone the pain of cuts to the plans under the new health care law. Most of the money would go to plans rated merely average. The administration is defending the program, saying that without the bonuses many plans wouldn’t have an incentive to improve quality. But Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, says the GAO report suggests that the administration abused its authority, pumping money to the plans to avoid more criticism over unpopular cuts. Medicare Advantage is a

popular private insurance alternative to the traditional health care program for seniors. More than 3,000 private plans serve nearly 12 million beneficiaries, about one-fourth of Medicare recipients. They offer lower out-of-pocket costs, usually in exchange for some limitations on choice. President Barack Obama’s health care law trimmed Medicare Advantage to compensate for prior years of overpayments that had allowed the plans to offer attractive benefits — and pocket healthy profits.

Arizona immigration case goes before high court By Michael Doyle McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Immigration politics will hit the Supreme Court this week as justices consider how much border-control clout the states can deploy. The court must decide whether Arizona went too far with a crackdown that includes ordering police to routinely check the legal residency status of people they stop. The court’s ruling answer this election year could ignite Capitol Hill, other states and, especially, Hispanic voters. “This is a huge case, of great importance,” said Andrew Schoenholtz, a visiting professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center. Arizona v. United States, the case being heard Wednesday, carries well beyond the notoriously porous Southwest border.

South Carolina, Idaho, Florida and 13 other states have allied themselves with Arizona, arguing for the power to impose certain immigration measures if they choose. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and 16 other House Democrats from California take the opposite position. On both sides, dozens of friend-of-the-court briefs press different points. The court’s decision is likely to come in June, as the campaign season is heating up and about the same time as the court is expected to rule on the Obama administration’s signature health care law. While a decision to uphold the strict Arizona law would be a legal defeat for the Obama administration, some scholars predict it could help the president politically by boosting turnout among the nation’s 21 million voting-age Hispanics.

Hollande, Sarkozy heading to French vote runoff By Angela Charlton The Associated Press

PARIS — Francois Hollande, a mild-mannered French Socialist who wants to take better care of the jobless and the poor, is heading to a presidential runoff election against tough-on-immigration Nicolas Sarkozy in a vote that could alter Europe’s political and economic landscape. Hollande heads into the May 6 second round with the upper hand after narrowly edging the conservative Sarkozy in the first round of France’s voting Sunday, according to near-complete official results. In the campaign’s biggest surprise, nearly one in five voters chose far-right candidate Marine Le Pen instead, handing her a solid third place and a chance to weigh in on French politics with her anti-immigration platform that targets France’s millions of Muslims. With 93 percent of the vote counted, Hollande had 28.4 percent of the ballots cast and Sarkozy 27 percent, according to figures released by the Interior Ministry. Le Pen was in third with 18.3 percent of the vote so far, the best showing ever by the far right National Front party founded by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen. In fourth place was leftist firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon with 11 percent, followed by centrist Francois Bayrou with 9.1 percent and five other candidates with minimal support. Turnout was also surprisingly high, at more than 80 percent, despite concern that a campaign focusing on nostalgia for a more protected past would fail to inspire voters. Hollande, a 57-year-old who has worried financial markets with his pledges to boost government spending, vowed Sunday night to cut France’s huge debts, boost growth and unite the French after Sarkozy’s divisive first term. “Tonight I become the candidate of all the forces who want to turn one page and turn over another,” Hollande, displaying a confidence and stately air he has often lacked during the campaign, told an exuberant crowd in his political fiefdom of Tulle in central France.

Voters Continued from A1 Over the last six years, Democrats have gained substantially on Republicans in Deschutes County, adding more than 3,700 voters to their party rolls compared with just over 300 for the Republicans. In Crook and Jefferson counties, the trend has been in the opposite direction — as of March 2012, both counties had fewer registered Democrats than in March 2010, 2008 or 2006, while Republican registrations have been level or shown modest gains. Laurie Gould, chairwoman of the Deschutes County Democrats, said she thinks recent arrivals to the area, particularly Bend, are changing the region’s political climate. “I think that a lot of the newer people that have come here have been more progressive-leaning,” Gould said. “I see that a lot at our meetings, people who say ‘I moved here two or three years ago and want to connect with the Democratic Party.’” Deschutes County Republicans chairman Mark Moseley said despite Democrats’ gains,

Deschutes Continued from A1 The clinic cost is included in the county’s total health care expenditures, which Wynne expects to increase by 5 percent — $800,000 — this year over last year. That’s a smaller increase than the previous year, when total expenditures went up by 13 percent, or $1.8 million. Wynne said it’s difficult to quantify the onsite clinic’s impact on the county’s medical claims, because those costs can fluctuate dramatically from year to year depending upon whether employees require significant medical treatments. “I think they have been less than they would have been had the clinic not been in existence,” Wynne said of medical claims. “At any time, any one of us can have some very serious medical

Secret Service Continued from A1 The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, added during his umpteenth briefing to be dominated by questions about the Secret Service, “The president does, as I’ve said before, have faith in the Secret Service and high regard for the agency and the job that they do protecting him, his family, protecting his predecessors.” Carney called it “an enormously difficult job,” one that involves “putting your life on the line regularly, being willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake not just of an individual, but for the trauma that any kind of harm that might come to a president would cause a nation.” And therein, administration officials say, lies the rub. Obama, as he said himself the one time he addressed the scandal since the news broke last weekend, would be “angry” if the accusations are proved true. But at the same time, the president and his aides are skittish about publicly lambasting the same agents who put themselves in harm’s way on their behalf.

Different agents Of course, there is a difference between the elite agents on Air Force One, who so far have not been implicated in the scandal, and the agents who were sent home from Cartagena. The elite agents see Obama day in and day out. They are with him on the golf course, the basketball court, the rope line, the giant auditoriums in big cities and the unannounced street walkabouts in rural areas. They stand between the president and reporters at Andrews Air Force Base when he is disembarking from Marine One, and between the president and his supporters when he is trying to leave a gymnasium after a speech. The elite agents have expressed deep anger in private conversations since the scandal broke, taking pains to note the difference between themselves and the agents who got into trouble in Cartagena, who had more peripheral duties. When a reporter yelled, “Should Director Sullivan resign?” at Obama during a Rose Garden ceremony earlier this week, referring to

he’s seen some movement toward his party during recent registration drives. “I think we’ve seen a goodly number of people switching over from Dem or unaffiliated over to our party, so that’s kind of encouraging,” he said. The fastest growth, both statewide and in Central Oregon, has been in minor party registrations, though their numbers still lag well behind those of the Democrats or Republicans. Just shy of 7,000 Deschutes

bills and in a given year, that amounts to millions of dollars more than it would have been had some of us not gone to the doctor.” For example, heart surgeries and cancer treatments can quickly drive up the county’s medical claims. “You could have savings from the Deschutes onsite clinic and our total claims could go up,” Wynne said. Inbody said the real savings will come in the long term as employees undergo health risk assessments at the clinic. These identify undiagnosed health conditions and could lead to treatment that averts serious health issues, such as a heart attack or diabetes. “That’s where there’s huge potential savings,” Inbody said. — Reporter: 541-617-7829, hborrud@bendbulletin.com

the Secret Service director, Mark Sullivan, several of the elite agents visibly stiffened. “It’s been an affront to their image,” a second administration official said. Obama and his detail have been keenly aware of the risks inherent in the job of protecting the first black president and his family. That has been true since Obama started receiving Secret Service protection in the spring of 2007, nine months before the Democratic primaries began. By contrast, Mitt Romney just started receiving such protection in January. Once in office, Obama often joked about the level of protection, including his famous “Here, I’d get shot” line when he wondered aloud, after news broke about the arrest of a black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., in front of his home in 2009, what would happen to him if he tried to break into his own house, before remembering that he lived in the White House. Unlike President Bill Clinton, who was often spotted arguing with his Secret Service lead agent because he wanted to greet a crowd that had not been “swept,” Obama, for the most part, does what his agents tell him to do. On the campaign trail, Obama routinely mentions the Secret Service, often lamenting light-heartedly that they will not let him drive a car or ride a motorcycle. His relationship with Sullivan is close and cordial. Sullivan, according to Ronald Kessler, the author of “In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect” and the man who broke the story about the episode in Cartagena after receiving a tip from an agent, has worked to “cultivate his relations with Congress and with Obama.”

Party crashers The relationship between Obama and the Secret Service becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed through the prism of the series of mishaps that have taken place during the Obama presidency. First, there were the party crashers, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the couple who, sans

County residents are now registered with smaller parties like the Constitution Party, the Libertarians or the Pacific Green Party, up from around 2,900 in March 2006. Minor party registrations in Jefferson County have also more than doubled over the same period, and are up more than 90 percent in Crook County. The Independent Party of Oregon has absorbed the majority of the growth among minor parties since its formation in 2007, and now boasts more

members than all other minor parties in the state combined. The party has largely avoided running candidates of its own, opting instead to endorse candidates fielded by other parties. Moseley suggested the party’s rapid growth is partially the result of its name, attracting members who actually want no part of any party and intended to register as non-affiliated voters. “I think it’s probably a dissatisfaction with one or both parties,” Moseley said. “An, ‘I’ll

vote, but don’t bother me with your candidates, Democrats or Republicans; I’ll make up my own mind.’” Gould said she had similar experiences with voters registered with the Independent Party of Oregon while managing Democrat Judy Stiegler’s state House campaign in 2010, as well as the more than 20 percent of voters registered as non-affiliated. Volunteers who reached such voters on the phone during the campaign often found them less than pleased to be contacted by someone representing a candidate, Gould said. “A lot of people were saying, ‘I don’t even want to be in a political party, I don’t care about political parties, that’s why I registered as a non-affiliated,’” she recalled. “Guess what, that makes you a swing voter!” Gould and Moseley both said their parties plan to ramp up their voter registration efforts over the summer, anticipating that the presidential election will pique the interest of the currently unregistered. — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammers@bendbulletin.com

They made it all the way to the receiving line, where they shook hands with the president and first lady before gaily posing for photos with other dignitaries under sparkling lights on the White House grounds. Two years later, a 21-yearold named Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was indicted on charges of firing a semiautomatic rifle at the White House, with the Secret Service reporting that at least one bullet had struck the presidential residence.

the north entrance of the White House after a smoke bomb was thrown on the lawn.) Kessler does not blame the Secret Service for the shooting episode but says the agency must take responsibility for the crashing of the state dinner and the caper in Cartagena. The president, Kessler says, “is not taking stronger action, and did not take action after the Salahi incident, because he’s protected by these agents who are very impressive, very dedicated, and he’s grateful.” But he noted that Sullivan, so far at least, has survived all three instances with his job still intact, despite calls for him to resign.

LILY RAFF MCCAULOU

La Pine vet was modest in life, death

harles and Dorothy Stewart, of La Pine, were accustomed to the fear and anxiety that comes with having a son in the military. Their oldest, Stephen, recently retired after 21 years in the Army. Their middle child, Paul, was in the Army for 25 years and counting, serving five tours of duty in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. The Stewarts were also used to letting out their breath when Paul returned home between deployments. Here, they figured, he was safe. So it was especially shocking when Paul’s wife, Irene, called on Feb. 4 to say that Paul, 50, had been struck from behind by an SUV while riding a bicycle near his home Stewart at Joint Base LewisMcChord, outside Olympia, Wash. A neighbor drove the couple to a Washington hospital to see their son. There, Irene delivered terrible news. Paul had been wearing a helmet, but it didn’t matter. Their 6-foot4-inch son — who never drank or smoked, who played basketball and soccer and rode his bike to stay in shape — was brain dead. His body was kept on life support so the few organs that hadn’t been crushed could be donated to others. And then he was gone. “We asked the Lord to keep him safe,” Dorothy said last week. “And he came home and got killed.” Since his death, no profiles of the soldier were published. No expensive obituaries were printed. According to his parents, Paul might have preferred it that way. Modesty is a Stewart family virtue that Paul inherited in spades. For his 16th birthday, the family tried to take Paul to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour, an 1890s-themed chain where servers wore pinstripes and customers’ birthdays were announced by gong and player piano. “He begged us, ‘Mom, please, no!’ He didn’t want the attention,” Dorothy recalled. “So we went and played mini-golf instead.” Not one to brag, and because his work was often classified, Paul rarely discussed his career. He told his parents about his promotions, which culminated in the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Five — the highest position for a non-commissioned officer. But he never mentioned his responsibilities as head of Intelligence and Electronic Warfare at the base. He never spoke of his awards. In fact, Charles and Dorothy were blown away at his Feb. 16 funeral service at the base, when an officer read off a list of 48 medals and commendations the soldier had garnered. “The people that worked with him knew him better than we did,” Dorothy said. At his burial at Arlington Cemetery on March 1, officers complimented the family on Paul’s spotless record. The parents shared what they now know about their son at a memorial in La Pine yesterday. “Everybody (in La Pine) knows about Paul and Irene and their family because I talk about them a lot,” Dorothy said. “People feel like they know him.” Paul called his parents every Friday evening, on his way home from work. When their freezer died last year, he offered to buy them a new one. “I said ‘Oh, Paul, it’s going to be over $600.’ He … sent us a check for $1,000. He said, ‘We want to help you, but we don’t know what you need and we don’t know what you want.’” “It’s a nice monument to Paul,” Charles added, nodding toward the appliance. Paul is survived by his wife and three children — two teenagers and one in her early 20s. The tragedy is particularly poignant for Charles, a mostly retired reverend who still ministers occasionally at Church of the Nazarene in La Pine. “I’m not bitter about it. The story of Job is an old story,” he said. “It puts your faith to the test, though: whether you really believe what you say you believe.” — Lily Raff McCaulou is a columnist for The Bulletin. 541-617-7836, lraff@bendbulletin.com

Hartman building to serve as campus for grades 6-9 By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

REDMOND — Redmond Proficiency Academy plans to have students in sixth through ninth grades in the Hugh Hartman building when the charter school expands this fall. RPA, which started in 2009 for high school students, is adding sixth

through eighth grade classes in the 2012-13 school year. The school is leasing the Hartman building from the Redmond School District. RPA students in 10th through 12th grades will have classes at the school’s existing downtown Redmond campus. School officials said that input from parents, students and staff was sought

in making the decision. “The feedback received from parents and students was incredible,” RPA Interim Director Jon Bullock said in a statement. “People provided thoughtful responses and interesting perspectives. Our staff greatly appreciated the input.” See RPA / B5

Spring cleaning on Earth Day • Volunteers sweep sidewalks and pull weeds in an effort to beautify an area of Northeast Bend By Duffie Taylor The Bulletin

hile some Central Oregonians slurped ice cream or lounged by the river, a few hearty volunteers beat the heat Sunday sweeping city sidewalks. In honor of Earth Day, local members of a Christian Science national outreach program called DiscoveryBound cleaned four blocks of Northeast Olney Avenue in Bend on Sunday afternoon. Broom in hand, Lindsey Biggs said she started the Bend program branch a little over a year ago to give local Christian Scientists a way to serve others outside the church community. “There seemed to be a need to do things for people outside of the church, and DiscoveryBound was an umbrella under which to do it,” she said. The group’s signed up for the cleanup — its first community service project this year — through the city’s Bend Beautification Program. All but two volunteers on site were members of First Church-Christian Science, Biggs said. She said the program was an easy way for the group to get started and even provided brooms, bags and other materials for the effort. Biggs said the group chose the section of Northeast Olney Avenue because nearby Laurel Pocket Park had recently been cleaned, but the sidewalks leading to it were still dust-laden. See Cleanup / B5

Just when you thought spring was here to stay, think again. Rain, clouds and wind are expected to return to Central Oregon this afternoon and continue throughout the week, said Ann Adams, an assistant meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Pendleton. Temperatures will also drop, making snow possible on Friday and Saturday. “In general, it looks like it’s going to be somewhat unsettled maybe through the rest of the week, with a chance of showers each day,” Adams said. Thunderstorms are also possible through midweek, she said. As the week progresses, temperatures are likely to continue to decline from highs in the 70s on Tuesday to highs in the upper 40s throughout the weekend. Lows are expected to stay relatively steady, ranging between the mid-30s and low 40s. If snow arrives, it would hit lower elevations only on Friday, but higher areas could continue to see drifts through Saturday. Adams said another round of inclement weather may be unwanted, but it’s not unusual. “It’s doesn’t sound very good, but it’s not unheard of for the end of April,” Adams said. “We have had snowstorms even in May or June.” — Bulletin staff report

decades of public service can only aid the county as it continues to recover from the setbacks of the past decade. He said the county’s relationship with the city has never been better, and its growing reputation as a data center hub has garnered the respect, and even envy, of counties across the state. His opponents aren’t so sure. They argue that incoming data centers have been given preference over local companies, and the county lacks a longterm plan for future economic development.

STATE NEWS By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

The Sisters School District is considering using smaller buses for its teams, to save money as gas prices rise. Superintendent Jim Golden said the district will purchase one or two 14-passenger buses that will enable teams with fewer players — like basketball, tennis and golf — to attend regional events at a lower cost. The buses have caught on in other Central Oregon districts, and not just because they guzzle less gasoline. Drivers of smaller buses don’t need a commercial license that’s required for drivers of larger school buses. Someone with a driver’s license can get the required certification after taking a training course that’s at least two hours long. See Sisters / B2

Judge race Continued from B1 Bartlett and Brookhart said they offer distinct visions for the county’s future and will bring unique assets to the office if elected.

Bradley Bartlett Bartlett, 53, said he is open to narrowing the responsibilities associated with the county’s top seat. Currently, the county judge serves as both an elected official and full-time administrator, but he might prefer administration duties being handled by a full-time employee rather than an elected official. Like McCabe, Bartlett hails from Crook County, but said his background as a longtime business owner gives him an edge when it comes to budgeting and making tough fiscal decisions. “I’ve watched my company downsize from 15 employees to myself and 2 others and my capital shrink from $3 million to $500,000 so I know what it takes to survive in this economy,” he said of his excavation and construction company. Bartlett also said he wants to see local entrepreneurs given the same treatment as topdollar corporations. “It shouldn’t matter what your name is, and the county should not be competing against citizens in any line of work,” he said. “(County officials) rolled out the red carpet for Apple and Facebook, but they’ve never had meetings with (local) businesses.” When asked how he would have time to serve as both a full-time government official and business owner, Bartlett said he would transfer many of his business duties to his brother. “My brother is willing to step in and take over the business” if elected, Bartlett said. “ I want to find out what the real issues are and what tugs on the heartstrings of people in Crook County. I’m running for the good of the citizens.”

Craig Brookhart Brookhart said the long life and career he’s had outside the county can help imbue the post with a fresh set of eyes and a new perspective. Now retired, his goal is to bring the same level of professionalism to county business that he formerly applied in his 23-year career with Intel. After five years living in the county, Brookhart says he is convinced local government needs to raise the bar in areas like communications, fiscal rigor, strategic planning and communications. “The county should have goals and a long-term vision for the fairgrounds,” he said. “And we need have public input in this vision.” Brookhart said the county needs to be more transparent. He takes issue with the county’s legal representation and insists many of the lawsuits the county has faced through the years could have been avoided. Posting county agendas, packets and updated material online would better inform the public and keep them engaged. He also wants to explore ways to keep the older generation involved in county happenings. “I support putting out any information that is legally and ethically possible to put out,” said Brookhart. “There

are items on the website that haven’t been updated since mid-2010. The people have no way of knowing what ordinances actually exist.” Brookhart said he wants more oversight in how the county spends its money. Specifically, he took issue with the county’s move to purchase an expensive grinder for the landfill several years ago. “There needs to be more discussion about spending money. The bigger the purpose, the bigger the justification is required,” said Brookhart. “(The grinder) didn’t reduce the volume of trash, and now it’s not being used and the county’s trying to sell it. In my view, every dime of the public’s money should be accounted for.” Brookhart said he is willing to shoulder the duties that come with being a full-time public official. “When I worked, I worked a minimum of 50 to 60 hours a week. The demands I’m used to dealing with,” he said. “I would like people to think

of Crook County as a place to want to move to. Right now, that’s not the reputation that a lot of people have for Crook County, and that’s sad because it’s a great place to be.”

Mike McCabe McCabe has no doubt: the county is in better shape than it was when he first took office in 2008. “Three years ago, when I took office things were really dismal, I mean really dismal,” he said. “We had no hope for any kind of prosperity.” Les Schwab had moved its headquarters west to Bend, federal timber receipts were declining, and thousands of county residents had left to find livelihoods elsewhere. McCabe said the tide began to turn in 2010 when Facebook announced plans for a data center in Prineville. Apple recently followed suit, and other tech companies now have their eyes on the region. McCabe sees the county’s recent economic development as a positive. Crook County is on the map, and people across the state want to know its secret. “We are absolutely the envy of every county in Oregon,” McCabe said. “Yes, things have changed. But it’s changing for the good.” McCabe disagrees that the county has been negligent of longtime businesses owners. Ultimately, the presence of large companies and the jobs they create has helped local companies back on their feet, he said. “The ma-and-pop stores, the little two- and three-person businesses, you don’t get those without Facebook and Apple. They can’t survive without a fairly vibrant workforce.” Going forward, McCabe acknowledges the need for better communication with residents. “Well this is what I think. We can do a better job. But what my candidates don’t get is we’re on such limited resources,” he said. “Holding a town hall or public forum on every decision just isn’t possible.” McCabe said he still couldn’t disclose why he made the decision to place the county’s lead attorney for seven years, David Gordon, on paid administrative leave two weeks ago. He said the county will contract with attorney Jeff Wilson in the short term and consider what it wants from legal services going forward. “There were no illegalities or improprieties,” said McCabe. “It was just time to go in a different direction.” If given another term, McCabe said he would go forward and not backward. “Grain prices are up. Cow prices are up and that’s good. You can’t go back to when you first moved here. You’ve got to keep moving ahead. We’ve been a rural timber economy but now we have to diversify.” The judge position pays $75,837. Crook County Clerk Dee Berman said the candidate with the majority vote in the primary will run in the November general election. — Reporter: 541-383-0376, dtaylor@bendbulletin.com

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet 1000’s Of Ads Every Day

Continued from B1 As a result, coaches with the certification can drive their teams with smaller buses without the added cost of paying a bus driver. That doesn’t mean the bigger buses are going away. It’s still expected that the district will require teams traveling to the Willamette Valley to take the buses because of the distance and safety considerations, Golden said. “Obviously, safety is the number one filter we will use as we develop our policy,” Golden said in an email. No final decision has been made. Sisters School Board Chairwoman Christine Jones said the board will discuss the issue at its May meeting. Brent Walsh, athletic director for the Redmond

School District, said the savings potential with smaller buses is huge, particularly for lengthy events like two-day tournaments. That’s because bus drivers are paid for their time waiting for events to wrap up. “Anytime you can avoid a yellow bus, it’s a huge savings for the district,” Walsh said. Another aspect the district will consider is whether parents could drive students besides their children to events, provided there’s a signed permission slip. In those cases, there would also be documentation showing that the driver is insured and has a valid license, Golden said. At Crook County High, parents who transport other children need permission, as well as an inspection to ensure their vehicle has seat belts, said Scott Polen, the athletic director. — Reporter: 541-977-7185, bbotkin@bendbulletin.com

State beekeepers keep buzzing along By Eric Mortenson The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Jan Lohman points out the yellow smudge circling the entrance hole of a wooden beehive. Foraging bees returning to the hive bump clumsily against the entrance, staining it with pollen packed onto their legs. “So they’ve already been out,” she says. “Looks like dandelion.” The activity is a reassuring sight, showing all is normal. The colony and 2,000 others like it are ready for more work after being trucked here from central California, where they helped pollinate the vast almond orchards. Lohman and her partner, Vince Vazza, are commercial beekeepers, and spend the spring living in a travel trailer and moving honeybees from crop to crop to crop. They begin with almonds in February, spend most of April in cherries and work pears, blueberries, specialty vegetable seed fields and, finally, watermelon patches near home at Vazza Farms in Hermiston. It’s a demanding circuit for bees and keepers alike. The stress of travel, weather and uncertain bloom add to problems caused by pesticides, parasites and persistent pathogens. And hovering in the background is colony collapse disorder, which in the past six years caused hive losses of 30 to 90 percent. It’s as mysterious as it is deadly. Adult bees disappear from the hive, often leaving behind a live queen, food and immature brood. Bees aren’t found dead in or around the hive, they’re simply gone. There are no workers to tend to the queen and her brood. The Northwest hasn’t been hammered as badly as other regions, but hive losses have spiked. A 10 percent hive loss over winter previously was considered normal, but losses the past few years ranged from 29 to 37 percent, said

Randy L. Rasmussen / The Oregonian

Jan Lohman checks in on the health of a hive in John Byers’ cherry orchard in The Dalles on April 16. Lohman and her partner, Vince Vazza, take their bee pollination business on the road in California and Oregon during the spring.

George Hansen, a Colton commercial beekeeper and president of the American Beekeeper Federation. Hansen owns Foothills Honey Co., and travels the pollination circuit with 5,000 hives. Much is at stake. Bees pollinate while gathering nectar and pollen for the colony. The unintended benefit to farmers is critical; it increases the yield and value of crops nationally by an estimated $15 billion annually. The almond crop alone requires 1.5 million colonies — half the nation’s honeybees. In Oregon, about 56,000 colonies pollinate cherries, blueberries, apples, pears and multiple other crops. Blueberry and cherry crops depend on commercial bees for about 90 percent of pollination. “It’s huge, it’s everything,” says fourth-generation cherry grower Brenda Thomas, president of Orchard View Farms in The Dalles. “We count on the bees.” Beekeepers benefit as well.

A 2009 Bee Pollination Economics Survey estimated Northwest beekeepers may gross $90 million in hive rental income annually. The U.S. Department of Agriculture survey estimated the average fee at $89 per hive, with many crops requiring two per acre. At the same time, the number of managed beehives in the U.S. is about half what it was in the 1940s, according to the Agriculture Department. Oregon has about two dozen commercial beekeepers of significant size, with about 5,000 nationally. Those willing to travel reportedly can command $150 per hive working the almond orchards in California. Beekeepers say they’re working harder to keep bees healthy. Bees have serious enemies, the most deadly being tiny varroa mites, which suck bees’ blood, weakening the colony and providing a pathway for viruses. “Mites are costing us more than anything else,” says Hansen. “Right now we don’t

have an effective control, just a mishmash of home remedies and guesstimates.” Other dangers include tracheal mites, which clog bees’ breathing tubes, and a gut parasite called nosema. Neither explains colony collapse, however. Researchers believe a combination of factors may be to blame, including overcrowding, a lack of nutritional variety due to mono-crops, and contaminated water. Ramesh Sagili, an Oregon State University honeybee researcher, suspects trucking bees long distances multiple times may cause physiological damage. In the span of a couple of days, they go from winter in Oregon or Washington to spring in California. Hansen agrees the travel stresses bees, but says they are resilient. Increasingly, keepers and scientists question pesticides. “Everybody has a favorite culprit,” Hansen says. “I don’t want to say it’s caused by pesticides, but they’re not doing us any good.”

Court system braces for more layoffs in May The Associated Press PORTLAND — Lines for services at Oregon courthouses could get longer as the court system moves ahead with elimination of 95 full-time positions by May 1. The Oregonian reports the layoffs will mean fewer employees to accept payments for tickets, answer questions, pull files from archives and staff courtrooms. The latest staff cutbacks will mean the loss of 296 positions since 2009, a 17 percent decrease, and it’s causing concern for the Oregon Judicial Department. “People come to courts with life-changing problems: They’re accused of crimes. They might lose their homes. They’re being harassed or stalked,” said Phil Lemman, a department spokesman. “The more you scrimp and save on justice, (the more it’s) philosophically troubling.” Some positions were vacant as administrators anticipated budget problems, but dozens of current employees are expected to be laid off. The operations budget

for the Judicial Department was $243 million for 2007-09 and dropped to about $241 million for 2011-13. The overall department budget increased from $372 million to $424 million in 2011-13. However, much of the increase goes for judges’ salaries, which are protected in statute at $114,468 a year, plus courthouse security, law libraries and Oregon eCourt, a web-based court document system predicted to eventually cut staff time and save money. Chief Justice Paul De Muniz, the administrative head for the Judicial Department, said employee cuts follow years of searching for efficiencies, such as cutting travel and education. State courts will be closed nine days over the two-year budget cycle that ends in June 2013. Also, employees will be required to take up to five additional days off without pay. Doug Bray, trial court administrator in Multnomah County Circuit Court, said the cutbacks are the worst he’s seen. “This is a huge shock wave for the court,” he said. “It is an enormous organizational change.”

21-member board hunts for new UO president The Associated Press EUGENE — A 21-member committee is searching for a new University of Oregon president who works well with others. The committee will review candidates in coming weeks to replace Richard Lariviere, who was fired in December.

The Register-Guard in Eugene says the public won’t know who applies until one finalist is named in June. The committee will narrow the candidates to a dozen next month, and then will fly them all in for an interview. It hopes to seat a new president before September.

OSU-Cascades: preparation and opportunity

or higher education in Central Oregon, preparation just met opportunity. It took decades to establish a four-year degree pro-

gram in Central Oregon, and its survival and growth have been repeatedly threatened since its establishment in 2001. The Oregon State University-Cascades Campus has grown slowly but steadily despite receiving far less state investment than originally envisioned.

But now, as OSU contemplates the expansion needed to serve Gov. John Kitzhaberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new education goal, the Bend campus looks like an important part of the answer. Kitzhaberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40/40/20 goal envisions that by the year 2025, 40 percent of Oregonians will have a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, 40 percent will have an associates degree and 20 percent will have a high school degree. Meeting that goal, says OSU President Ed Ray, requires significant expansion of the university, and there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough room on the main campus in Corvallis. Suddenly the spotlight for growth focuses on Bend. Ray said the current enrollment in Bend of nearly 1,000 students must at least triple by 2025. Interestingly, Kitzhaber was also a critical player in the birth of the branch. In 2001, during his earlier tenure as governor, he put money for the campus in his budget at the urging of the Central Oregon Regional Advisory Board, known as CORAB. CORAB was a group of local leaders charged by the State Board of Higher Education with studying the issue of a four-year university in Bend. Its success capped a 30year history of such efforts.

At the time, local opposition came from those who feared the new campus would damage Central Oregon Community College, and also those who feared it would be a growth engine when the region didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need growth. Today, the campus and COCC have established a highly successful working relationship, and growth of the right sort seems far more attractive after recent economic troubles. Ray made it clear that the expansion he envisions depends greatly on local support. To that end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for local governments and organizations to think about how they can contribute. The city of Bend, for example, needs to look at how its property at Juniper Ridge might be involved. Although it has been stalled by the recession, Juniper Ridge was originally envisioned as the home for a four-year university, supported in part by an education improvement district in the surrounding land. Although the expanded campus appears unlikely to move to Juniper Ridge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ray said the area around its new graduate building on Colorado is more likely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preclude using future development at Juniper to support the campus.

Sound off on Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise ordinance

f you care about noise in Bend, now is the time to get involved. The city is changing its sound ordinance to respond to complaints. In some ways under the proposal, Bend is going to get noisier. The city is increasing the limits for some types of activities. The city is also trying to ensure concerts at night donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep neighbors awake. You can look at the details yourself. The city posted the draft ordinance on the its website Thursday afternoon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the city recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s page. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more detail than the Bend City Council had before it Wednesday night. Councilors were asked for initial input on the draft law without being able to

read it themselves. City Manager Eric King told us there will be a public hearing and maybe even an open house on the issue before the council makes a final decision. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good strategy. Residents are going to need time to go over the details, and the ordinance is difficult to interpret. The limits are in decibel levels. But just how loud is 60 dba or 90 dba? Is that a freight train roaring past or a conversational voice? Sure, residents can go searching around the Internet and try to find some scales that turn those numbers into something meaningful. But if the city wants to promote meaningful debate, it would help to have some meaningful comparisons.

My Nickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worth Fee hike too high With reluctance, I just registered with Bend Park & Recreation District for summer hiking classes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve participated in these same two weekly classes for the past several summers. Unfortunately, if the trend continues, this could be my last. In just one year, the fees for exactly the same classes have increased a remarkable 10 percent. Like most people in these classes, I am on a fixed income. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a city resident and already pay Parks and Rec through my property tax. I expect to pay a class fee, and have weathered previous increases. I was stunned, however, at the hefty increase this time around. Parks and Rec, you will lose me as a participant if this trend continues. Many of my fellow hiking classmates feel the same. Could we get ourselves to a trailhead? Of course. Do we want to? Not really. We enjoy our leader and appreciate the camaraderie in the van to and from the trailheads. But know that you are pricing loyal customers off your participant lists. A 10 percent increase for exactly the same program is just not sustainable. Think about it. Nancy Tyler Bend

Unfounded statements I must respond to the letter from Dick Beal regarding the prosecution of Major Nadil Malik Hasan for the shootings in Ford Hood, Texas. As I read his letter, I was nodding in agreement to his statements that there are multiple systems of justice in this country, mostly determined by how much money you have to

pay attorneys and who you know with influence, etc. I was unaware of the progress of Hasanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prosecution, but was willing to agree in principle that it is a shame that he has not stood trial yet, if that is indeed true. Then, when I came to the last line of Bealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter, he lost me completely with the accusation that President Barack Obama is somehow keeping Hasanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial from proceeding because Hasan is Muslim! First of all, Obama is not Muslim, nor is he a Muslim sympathizer. Secondly, I doubt very much that the president of the United States has the time, or inclination, to involve himself with the management of individual cases in the military justice system, whatever the religion of the accused. Whether one approves of our president or not, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it enough to say that it is a shame that both of these tragic shootings occurred, without injecting such unfounded statements into the opinion? Kasia Wilson Bend

Need rules on cellphones The cellphone is a very fine modern communication device. It must be used with care, as there are people who are very narrow-minded, and as it can be turned into a very deadly instrument while driving. The best and only way to ensure safety is to have these traffic rules put into force by our state lawmakers: 1. Set a fine of over $1,000 for use while driving. 2. Have the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license restricted as if it were a DUII (i.e., to

work and back only). 3. Thirty-day forfeiture of the vehicle to impound (you pay the fee). 4. Make a second or subsequent offense double the penalty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or 30 days in jail. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentality toward multitasking, this could save many people from creating havoc through their stupidity! Bill Kaufman Redmond

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dumb and Dumberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Washington, D.C. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been watching the unfolding drama from Washington, D.C., It seems â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dumb and Dumberâ&#x20AC;? are running riot. A president telling the world â&#x20AC;&#x153;You buy Iran oil, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on our bad listâ&#x20AC;? and then saying that there is enough oil in the world marketplace that we can cut Iran off. He just told us there was a supply problem because of the worries with Iran. I see the Republicans have listened to their mums and learned the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? They have at least tried to put a plan forward. A thought: Whatever the government gives you, they have to take it away from someone else. There is no free ride. So if you work, or have a mate who works, and pay taxes, you are paying for those who just receive. If our government canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage Social Security or Medicare, how will they manage Obamacare? I would like to close by asking our local papers to really get stuck into this election cycle. Be honest, unbiased and really educate and motivate our community to vote and be a part of our democracy. Steve Johnson Prineville

Leg islators need to consider teen unemployment rate By Wes Murphy uring the early 1980s, the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy was arguably worse than it is today. Lumber and the big mills were king, but they were quickly drying up because of a recession and the infamous spotted owl. The tourism industry as we now know it was barely in its infancy. The building and population booms were still 10 years away. The unemployed would occasionally line up in â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheese linesâ&#x20AC;? behind semi trucks to get government-issued blocks of cheese. My high school-aged friends and family worked at such places as Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Truck Stop and Diner, Beef n Brew, Frontier Cash and Carry, Sweetheart Doughnuts, strawberry fields in the valley, local fast food restaurants and moving irrigation

pipes for local farmers. One thing we had in common was that we all started off making minimum wage. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long, however, before we earned merit raises. In my case, I made $3.10 an hour. I thought it was pretty cool the first time I got a nickel raise after 30 days. Another thing we had in common was that we knew our jobs werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t designed to be long-term careers designed to support families. We knew we would move on to better-paying jobs, college or the military and the next group of teenagers would take our place. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rich, but we made enough to put some gas in our tanks and help pay for college. More importantly, we learned the value of hard work and a dollar. We learned the importance of good

IN MY VIEW customer service, good attendance, accountability and responsibility. We learned how to solve problems, take orders and follow instructions. Today we are successful bankers, accountants, nurses, police officers, inventors, electricians and teachers. Unfortunately, many in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation of teenagers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same opportunities. As illustrated in the April 8 Business section of The Bulletin, the unemployment rate for teens and young adults in Oregon is 3 times higher than the rest of the population. The average unemployment rate of this age group for the last four years is 24 percent!

It can be argued that the unintended consequences from things such as the yearly raising of our minimum wage, child labor laws, and unenforced immigration laws have gutted the entry-level job industry. For example, Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage is the second highest in the United States and her territories, second only to Washington state. What canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be argued is that we have a serious problem. The bottom line is that there are fewer young people in the workforce. Oregon is at risk of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost generation;â&#x20AC;? a lost generation that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned the value of hard work and the value of a dollar, a lost generation that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned the importance of good customer service, good attendance, accountability and responsibility. This lost generation is at risk of having

fewer job opportunities, earning less and having a lower standard of living throughout their lives than previous generations. We are at the front edge of the wave of baby boomers that will be retiring. This retirement wave will continue for the next 20 years. We need the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost generationâ&#x20AC;? to step into the positions left by retiring baby boomers. If our â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost generationâ&#x20AC;? canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step into these positions, our economy will stagnate. Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local, regional and state leaders need to take a hard look at the unintended consequences of the short-sighted regulations, policies and laws that have caused the high unemployment rate among Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teens and young adults. Our future depends on them. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wes Murphy lives in Bend.

Elaine Thompson / The Associated Press

Kristina Ponischil, shown on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle, where she works as a researcher, was raped at a party in her off-campus apartment while she was attending Western Washington University. When the police failed to enforce a restraining order placed upon her attacker, the university suspended him until she graduated using an interpretation of Title IX — a gender-equity law that predominantly applies to school sports.

Colleges use Title IX to combat rape • Some see the new rules as a step in the right direction, while others see them as infringements on the accused’s rights By Justin Pope The Associated Press

For months after Kristina Ponischil was raped at a party in her off-campus apartment, her life at Western Washington University was hell. Police wouldn’t act, as often happens in college towns with “he said, she said” accounts of alcohol-influenced student encounters behind closed doors. Despite a restraining order, she kept running into her assailant on campus, prompting panic attacks. Once, the man who’d raped her brushed up against her in the bookstore, then smirked. “I was just constantly worried that I would run into him again,” Ponischil said. But if the criminal justice system let Ponischil down, Western Washington did not. When she finally told an administrator what happened, the school sprang to action, offering her the support she needed. Perhaps most importantly, the campus judicial system, using a lower standard of proof than criminal courts, suspended her assailant, removing him from campus until she graduated in 2009. “I was able to start healing,” she said. “When I was constantly afraid, there was no healing. It was just constant fear.” The college’s response wasn’t just a moral obligation; it was also a legal one. June marks the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the federal gender-equity law that has made headlines mostly on the sports pages. But over the last decade or so, through a series of court rulings and more recently controversial guidance published by the Obama administration, Title IX has shifted onto a different patch of contentious terrain — sexual assault on college campuses. It is transforming how colleges must respond to allegations of sexual violence. The reasoning: Title IX’s key language, running barely 30 words, forbids sex-based discrimination that denies access to educational opportunity. It’s long established that sexual discrimination and harass-

ment can create an atmosphere that denies women their right to education. What’s newer is applying the logic to even a single episode of sexual assault. Victims’ advocates welcome what they call an overdue push for colleges to take seriously a problem they’ve long swept under the rug. The latest Title IX guidance also requires colleges to train staff, and develop and publicize policies to help sexual assault victims, or risk large legal judgments. And they must remediate the harm to victims, for instance by providing counseling. But the most vigorous criticism has come from civil libertarians, who argue the Obama administration’s guidance undermines the rights of the accused. They’ve focused on the requirement that colleges use a “preponderance of evidence” standard in such cases — essentially a belief that guilt is more likely than not, and a much lower standard than defendants enjoy in criminal court. Title IX, these critics claim, is a blunt legal weapon for addressing sexual assault on campus. They too see a threat to access to education — but for the accused.

‘Dear Colleague’ letter Last April, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights sent colleges a “Dear Colleague” letter, explaining its interpretation of Title IX and outlining the steps it believes colleges must take in response to sexual assault on campus. The 19-page letter carries over from past guidance that has been in force since the Clinton administration. But it was the first such guidance to address directly how Title IX applies to sexual violence, not just harassment. The letter reminds colleges they must provide “due process” for the accused, such as giving both complainant and accused timely access to relevant information. But the focus is protections for the accuser. Schools must act promptly to investigate, not waiting for a criminal case to proceed. If necessary, they must take interim steps to protect the complainant before a verdict is reached, such as separating the accused and accuser in classes and dorms. In such cases, the burden of inconvenience should fall on the accused.

RPA Continued from B1 At the Hartman facility, also called the RPA West Campus, plans are in the works for structuring the classes and grades, with an eye toward connecting ninthgraders with the downtown campus they will attend full time as 10th-graders. For example, plans include allowing high-achieving freshmen to take upperlevel courses at RPA’s downtown campus. The school is also planning a leadership and mentoring program for freshmen with the chance to participate in events at the downtown campus. Freshmen will have separate entrances and classroom wings from students in sixth through eighth grades at the Hart-

They also must offer immediate support to victims, and ensure cases are resolved before perpetrators graduate. Historically, some advocates say, colleges trying to avoid messy cases have simply “run out the clock.” That’s no longer an option. Alison Kiss of the group Security on Campus said it remains all too common that students don’t know their Title IX rights, and for colleges to fail to inform them. The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, currently before the Senate as part of a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, beefs up reporting rules and requires colleges to notify students reporting assaults on those rights. When colleges do hand down punishments, expulsion is the maximum, and they often fall short of that. Last year, when The Center for Public Integrity examined a federal database with information on 130 colleges, it found that only 10 to 25 percent of men found responsible for sexual assault were expelled. But Kiss says Title IX pressure has prompted many colleges to improve their training and response. That may explain why some schools report more assault complaints coming forward. Last year’s guidance forced colleges to designate Title IX coordinators, and to rewrite and then publicize new policies, showing more students the police aren’t their only option. Kiss says until prosecutors start taking such cases, colleges must offer victims an alternative — and even if prosecutors do act, colleges must pursue their own Title IX investigations.

Flip side of the new rules Caleb Warner has seen the flip side of Title IX enforcement. Warner, too, was enmeshed in a “he said, she said” encounter. During finals week in 2009, he says, a fellow University of student invited herself over. They had sex — consensual, he insists — a second time, then again the next morning, after she spent the night. He liked her, but she stopped responding to his calls and texts. He went home for the holidays and let it drop. When Warner returned to school, he’d been accused of rape, and he would have to face charges in the campus disciplinary system — within 10 days. What followed, as Warner and his mother describe it, was a “kangaroo court” campus

trial where a hostile administrator attacked Warner’s witnesses as just standing up for a fraternity brother. He was found guilty and kicked off campus — and banned from any state school — for at least three years. Warner is hardly the only student accused of sexual misconduct to claim unfair treatment. But his case took an unusual twist. After his quick campus trial, a Grand Forks police detective began investigating possible criminal charges against Warner. According to a police report, the detective caught Warner’s accuser in a series of lies about the incident and her previous communications with Warner. Multiple witnesses contradicted her story. Eventually the police brought charges — against her. It wasn’t until last October, after a campaign led by Warner’s mother was starting to inspire critical letters from alumni, that the university relented and overturned Warner’s sanctions. UND dean of students Cara Halgren declined to comment on Warner’s case but said the school tries to balance the interests of all students. “There’s no doubt some of these cases are quite complicated,” she said. Russlynn Ali, the assistant secretary of education for civil rights, who signed the “Dear Colleague” letter, emphasized OCR’s guidance is intended to protect victims and clarify college administrators’ responsibilities toward them. “It is not intended to trump the rights of the accused,” she said. Most controversially, OCR said colleges must judge Title IX cases under a standard of “preponderance of evidence.” That standard, common in civil law cases, means schools must conclude only that there is a 50.1 percent chance the accused is guilty to find him responsible. Without the preponderance standard, it can be difficult for colleges to remove rapists. Other than a college campus, “there is no other place in America where a body can determine you’re guilty of rape, particularly a body that is run by the government, based on a more-likely-than-not standard,” said Robert Shibley, an attorney with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. The preponderance standard amounts “to a 50-50 guess on credibility,” he said. “There’s a reason we don’t run our real courts that way, because you can do so much damage to somebody.”

man building. Bullock said an open house on Thursday night was well-attended, with about 30 new students registering. The school still has openings in sixth through ninth grades. For 10th through 12th grades, the school is reaching its capacity, Bullock said, but parents can get on a waiting list. The school has about 475 students in ninth through 12th grades. In the upcoming school year, RPA is anticipating about 625 students in sixth through 12th grades. Of that figure, about 425 will be in 10th through 12th grades and 200 will be in sixth through ninth grades. To find out more, go to www.rpacademy .org.

Continued from B1 “This seemed to be a place that really needed it,” she said. “And this is what Earth Day is all about.” Donning a hot pink hat and neon orange vest, Bend resident Robin Martin happily swept as the sun glared and cars whirred by. “Just helping the community,” she said. Fellow sweeper Jacquie Gibbs added: “We’ve been looking for a service project for awhile, and this one is really cool.”

Trash saved from landfill could be worth $40B, company says By Andrew Herndon Bloomberg News

Dean Guernsey / The Bulletin

Construction workers pour concrete April 10 to create a 35,000-gallon cistern that will store water for Barbara Scott and Tom Elliott’s Bend home, called Desert Rain. “Water use is always on your mind,” Scott said, “and it should be in this climate.”

Green Bend home will catch the rain Thinkstock

By Rachael Rees The Bulletin Editor’s note: Tom Elliott and Barbara Scott invited The Bulletin to follow their efforts to build the ultimate green home in Bend, to document the project from start to finish. The structures are up and window and roof installation is scheduled to begin in the next few weeks. This installment focuses on the project’s water, all of which must come from captured rain and snow, one of the requirements outlined in the Living Building Challenge, the standards being followed by Elliott, Scott and the builders.

hile an average person in the U.S. uses 98

gallons of water each day, Tom Elliott and Barbara Scott will each strive to use only 30 gallons once they move into Desert Rain, the sustainable home they are building.

The Living Building Challenge Like the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, the Living Building Challenge provides guidelines and requirements for constructing an environmentally friendly building. The challenge, created by the International Living Future Institute, “defines the most advanced measure of sustainability in the built environment possible today,” according to the institute’s website. It rests on seven areas, or petals: site, water, energy, health, materials, equity and beauty. For more information, visit https://ilbi.org/.

“Water use is always on your mind,” Scott said, “and it should be in this climate.” From highly efficient faucets and toilets to a landscape with native vegetation, the Desert Rain project will use as little water as possible. The goal is for precipitation falling on the Northwest Shasta Place property to provide Elliott and Scott with enough water to live. To meet the strict, no-impact standards of the Living Building Challenge, 100 percent of the couple’s water must come from captured rain and snow, with one exception. The rules allow an initial purchase of water to fill up their 35,000-gallon cistern. Because of Bend’s dry climate and building and plumbing codes, the water system was one of the bigger challenges of the Desert Rain project, said Morgan Brown, president of Whole Water Systems. Desert Rain pushed the limits of Oregon plumbing code requirements for collecting rainwater, he said. “We were trying to make it work

for the Oregon plumbing code and the Living Building Challenge,” Brown said. “It was an interesting dance to make sure we met both requirements and were still able to squeeze enough water out of the sky to make it through the dry season.” Brown said his company’s engineer gathered 20 years of data to determine both the average annual rainfall and the minimum amount over the time period. The system is designed to support the couple’s water usage during a year with only 7 inches of rainfall. To ensure enough water, Brown said, the design of the roof needed to include the appropriate surface area. The property also needed somewhere to store the water. Crews have been building a 35,000-gallon cistern, which will be located under the garage. Then, Brown said, a filtration system had to be developed to make the water safe for drinking. ML Vidas, the project’s sustainability consultant, said the state al-

lows rainwater collection, and Desert Rain is the first Central Oregon project approved to use captured rain for drinking water. When collecting rainwater for potable purposes, Brown said, the building code mandates the use of a first-flush diverter, a system that flushes away the initial water that hits the roof and removes pollutants. But through discussions with the city and state, he said the project received approval without the diverter. “We couldn’t afford to lose the water we would lose with the first-flush diverter,” he said. “We designed a filtration system so we didn’t need it.” Brown said the design calls for an approved roofing material for potable rainwater collection that stops surface chemicals from leeching into the water. The precipitation then runs off the roof into various gutters, equipped with screens to stop any debris. It then flows out the downspouts and into gravel filters. See Home / C6

SAN FRANCISCO — Waste Management Inc., the nation’s biggest trash hauler, estimates the $12.3 billion it gets for carting off rubbish to landfills may be worth more than $40 billion a year in energy. That’s the value of fuel and chemicals the Houston-based company estimates could be extracted from the 112 million tons of trash it collected last year if the entire waste stream was diverted from landfills, said Carl Rush, senior vice president of Waste Management’s Organic Growth unit. About 82 percent of that rubbish currently is SCIENCE put into dumps. Since 2009, Waste Management has bought stakes in eight companies that gasify, ferment or digest trash, turning it into a source of heat, power, transportation fuel and specialty chemicals. All of it is worth more than trash buried underground. “We don’t think the future, long term, is going to be continuing to put everything in the landfill,” Rush said. “It’s going to be recovering more value from this material. The customers will demand it, the struggle for resources will demand it, and quite honestly, economically, it’s the thing we should be doing.” About 92 million tons of the garbage that Waste Management hauled away last year ended up in dumps, with collection, landfill and transfer operations generating $12.3 billion in revenue. The company’s total 2011 revenue of $13.4 billion includes a $2 billion reduction for intercompany payments. While it’s impossible to divert all of the waste, the never-ending source of raw materials holds the potential to produce energy, fuel and chemicals that the company is at the forefront of tapping. Waste Management already produces energy from trash, by incinerating it to make electricity at 17 wasteto-energy plants and capturing methane from decomposing garbage at 131 landfill facilities. The company’s investments highlight a strategy to develop more profitable conversion technologies and move beyond a business model dependent on per-ton disposal rates, known as tipping fees, Rush said. About 7.1 percent of the company’s trash was burned to make electricity last year and it recycled 12 million tons of garbage worth $1.58 billion in revenue. The entire stream, if recycled, would generate about $12 billion a year, Rush estimated. See Waste / C6

Google hopes to revolutionize video chat with ‘Hangout’ apps By Mike Swift San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Christine Egy Rose realized she was on to something powerful. Instead of the awkward monosyllabic two-minute exchange her two-year-old son Jackson typically had over a video chat link with relatives, he spent a full 50 minutes happily working on a shared drawing with his grandmother in Florida, using the video chat’s embedded drawing feature that Egy Rose was developing.

A & A

Daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law school loans weigh on parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conscience Dear Abby: My wife and I are 50-year-old professionals who have paid every penny of the cost for our two daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-year college educations. Our oldest, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lana,â&#x20AC;? went on to law school and has incurred well in excess of $100,000 in law school loan debt. She has struggled to find a job as an attorney, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no longer sure she still wants to practice law. Lana is married to a medical student who also has significant student loan debt. Two nights ago I made the mistake of telling Lana that her mother and I would help her pay off her student loans. I regret having opened my mouth. She and her husband spend their money on frivolous luxuries and are not responsible financially. My wife and I live frugally. We withdrew money from our retirement accounts to help fund our daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college educations. We now need to increase our retirement contributions and pay for maintenance and repairs to our home that we delayed while paying for their tuition. Although we have always helped our children financially, we can no longer afford to trade our future financial security and our present standard of living to support them. I would appreciate some advice. This may be an issue affecting a lot of parents at this time. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spoke Too Soon in Pennsylvania Dear Spoke Too Soon: Before making any promises to your daughter, you should have reviewed your retirement plans with your financial adviser. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not too late to do that, and once you do you should immediately inform Lana that, upon review, you now realize that giving her more money will compromise your plans for retirement. You should also explain that you have deferred important repairs to your home because the money was directed in-

This year you find that your words can make or break situations. You make it a point to develop better communication skills, which will empower you even more. Combine your intelligence and charisma, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll succeed beyond anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations. Honor your priorities. If you are single, your love life has some intense moments. Take your time, especially if you seek a happy, long-term bond. If you are attached, curb a tendency to make impulsive statements. You will experience fewer misunderstandings. Express your hurt or anger before you erupt like a volcano. GEMINI might seem flaky but has solid reasoning behind their ideas. The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Keep conversations moving, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hung up on the details. Your fiery spirit makes a difference and lets others know you are absolutely serious. Honor a sense of frustration by stopping and looking at a situation differently. You might be able to bypass this feeling instead of allowing it to build. Tonight: Hang out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Use the early morning as much as you can to accomplish your goals today. Express your determination and emotional commitment. Listen to a loved one who seems to be upset. Though this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger might be inappropriately directed, listen anyway. Tonight: Treat yourself well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have gone through many changes. Impulsiveness marks your behavior, and you could spout a statement that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll later regret. Listen to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; news. Your imagination will funnel into a situation where you have enormous responsibility. Tonight: The world is your oyster. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to your instincts with an important colleague. That voice is there for a reason. You often pick up what is not obvious. Take your time when making a decision. You have a lot to mull over in your mind. Think positively. Tonight: Talk is cheap. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Indulge yourself and make the most out of a situation. You will gather the support of others in a meeting when you choose to express your ideas. The well-known

DEAR ABBY stead to her education. The problem with deferring maintenance is it usually costs more than if the problems had been dealt with promptly, which is why you are, regrettably, unable to bail her out of her student loans. It may be the wake-up call Lana needs that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to assume her own responsibilities. Dear Abby: My mom and I have been travel agents for 15 years. My cousin, whom I have always been close to, asked to join our business multiple times over the past few years and we always said yes. A few months ago I learned that she went behind our backs and started her own travel agency. When I confronted her about hiding it from us, she denied it. Then one day I went over to her new office. She said she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanted to hurt our feelings, but she already has. She says Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being â&#x20AC;&#x153;irrationalâ&#x20AC;? for not supporting her, but I think she was wrong for not joining us and going off on her own. Do you think our relationship can be saved? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Family Matters in Oklahoma Dear Family Matters: Your cousin should have been forthright about starting her own business instead of hiding it. It is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;irrationalâ&#x20AC;? to feel hurt that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t level with you, and that was her mistake. However, this is a free country, and your cousin had a right to change her mind about joining your business. Your relationship can be fixed as long as you and your mother accept that she had a right to go into business for herself if she wished, and refrain from discussing business when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re together. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Monday, April 23, 2012 By Jacqueline Bigar

Leo charisma comes out no matter what; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to soft-pedal this trait. Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You are full of fun and energy, and want to take the lead. Your need for recognition should not run you to the point of making bad decisions or being rebellious. Your imagination will take you far if you are able to use it in your day-to-day living. Tonight: Others observe. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Seek out experts and their opinions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only then can you make a good decision. Detach, and pretend you are one of your advisers looking in from an outside perspective. Listen to that voice. Tonight: Where your mind can be entertained yet you can relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Togetherness or working as a team will help you achieve success, though perhaps not on a conventional level. You could find a friend unusually irate at what might be going down. Try to understand your role in creating this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction. Tonight: Do something intense and memorable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You need to understand what is motivating someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions. The less you say, the more information he or she will give you. A family member or domestic situation could be close to intolerable. Tonight: Mosey on home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Toss yourself 110 percent into whatever you are doing. You could be delighted with the results. Schedule a long-overdue doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. Good health will allow you to live much better. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your imagination could take hold of a situation, and you could have difficulty letting go. Relax â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you might be taken aback by what happens. Go with the flow during the next few days. Tonight: Brainstorm with a friend. Look at what comes up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Tension builds in an unprecedented manner. You could wonder what might be best to do. Center yourself before making any decisions. Let go of judgments about what you should do, then reflect on the situation. Tonight: Opt for dinner at home. ÂŠ 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Christine Egy Rose, CEO and founder of Scoot & Doodle, shows her eight-yearold daughter Cate and three-yearold son Jackson the new social networking software in Palo Alto, Calif., last month.

Karen T. Borchers San Jose Mercury News

Google Continued from C1 By adding software apps to Hangouts, independent developers like Scoot & Doodle hope to make video chats more like an in-person, shared social experience, allowing apps to transform video chats, just as they revolutionized cellphones. “It’s really the starting gun,” Vic Gundotra, the executive who heads the development of Google+, said of the platform launch. “No one has ever done a multi-user video service for the whole world for free, let alone open it up to developers and see where they take it. It takes a company like Google, at Google’s scale, to do something like this, and let’s see what happens.” In opening Google+ Hangouts to independent developers like Scoot & Doodle, Google is cribbing a page from Facebook. When CEO Mark Zuckerberg opened Facebook’s platform to independent developers in 2007, no one knew it would trigger a revolution in social games that spawned successful companies like Zynga. More recently, Facebook also has offered shared-experience services, such as a feature launched in January that allows friends to listen to the same song at that same time. Facebook has also partnered with Skype to provide video chat. At more than 100 million

Waste Continued from C1 The company charges about $20 to $100 a ton to collect garbage and to customers who dump waste at its landfills. “Based on a typical tipping fee,” the returns from selling fuel and chemicals made from garbage are “pretty attractive,” Rush said. Pursuing those returns means Waste Management is taking on a new role, which may not be a good fit for its existing businesses, said Hamzah Mazari, an analyst at Credit Suisse in New York. By investing in technology startups, the waste-hauler is becoming a source of capital, requiring it to evaluate multiple prospects to identify the most promising recipients. The company “has no core competency in any of these businesses, so they’re strictly acting as a silent partner, or acting as really a venture capital company,” Mazari said. “Whoever develops the technology needs Waste Management, and they can strike a deal once a technology is commercial,” Mazari said. “Waste Management doesn’t have to make these investments because they already control the waste stream.” Waste Management shares have risen about 12 percent since the beginning of December, tracking the 13 percent gain in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. Waste Management owns 11 percent of Enerkem 12.3 percent of Fulcrum BioEnergy, which are developing systems to process waste into ethanol. It also has 25 percent of Agilyx Corp., which converts waste plastic into a synthetic crude oil. It owns 6.9 percent of Genomatica Inc., which is developing genetically modified microorganisms that

users, Google+ is still a fraction of the size of Facebook’s 845 million users. But an even bigger issue for Google+ is poor engagement, with recent data from comScore showing users average just 3 minutes a month on Google+, compared to 7 hours a month on Facebook. The Hangouts feature is “one of the four or five pillars that we have that really drive engagement,” Gundotra said. “It fundamentally changes the interaction when you can see somebody’s eyes, which is why we said social is much more than just status updates. That’s why we invested so much in video technology.” Among the other Hangout apps on Google+ is a virtual deck of cards, allowing a person in San Francisco, for example, to play a game of poker through a video chat with a cousin in Denmark and an aunt in Denver, as well as other apps. “Google is really hoping to drive engagement with its network, and getting people to stay online and use its services more is absolutely something it wants to do,” said Irene Berlinsky, an analyst with IDC who follows video chat. Along with Skype, Google is emerging as “really the two big gorillas” of video chat, she said. Egy Rose, Chang and Stone don’t fit the stock profile of Silicon Valley startup entrepreneurs — they are not 20-something males, and they are not engineers. Egy

convert gasified garbage into chemicals. Waste Management is backing four other ventures developing processes to produce transportation fuels, heat or electricity from waste: Terrabon Inc., Harvest Power Inc., Agnion Energy Inc. and InEnTec Inc. Enerkem expects to produce about 100 gallons of ethanol from a ton of municipal solid waste, and Fulcrum is aiming for about 70 gallons a ton, according to filings. Agilyx can convert a ton of plastic into about 5 barrels of oil, according to chief executive officer Chris Ulum. At those conversion rates, the companies can turn a ton of waste into about $520 of oil, or as much as $232 of ethanol, based on current prices. As much as $600 of chemicals could be produced from a ton of waste, Rush said. “That’s a significant step up in value,” Rush said. Waste Management won’t say how much it’s invested in garbage-to-energy companies. Mazari estimates it’s “spending about $8 million per investment on average,” and more than $50 million a year. Beside revenue from selling energy and fuel, Waste Management’s minority holdings may yield a return if the ventures sell shares in public offerings. At least three are planning to do so. Enerkem is seeking to raise as much as $137.8 million and was scheduled to price its shares at $17 to $19 each last night. Fulcrum and Genomatica are planning to raise as much as $115 million and $100 million through IPOs, respectively, and haven’t said when their shares may start trading. Agilyx may register for an IPO this year, according to Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, one of the company’s other

Rose and Chang are former NBC television news producers, Egy Rose with “Meet the Press” and Chang with “Dateline.” Stone was a designer for clothing companies like Old Navy and Abercrombie & Fitch but had never designed for the Web. All three, however, are the mothers of young children and what ultimately became Scoot & Doodle (the company got its name from the nicknames for Egy Rose’s two kids) started out as an attempt to solve a social problem — the difficulty of staying close to children and adults separated by geography or divorce. “We knew the problem was enormous,” Egy Rose said. “Everyone we talked to was experiencing that.” The three founders worked early on with educators and scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, San Francisco’s Exploratorium and the Stanford Institute of Design K-12 Lab to gain insights about how to connect children and adults, and they began to focus on shared activities like drawing and art. One early idea was to create a kit, including arts and games, to help busy parents or distant grandparents connect with children. But around this time, Egy Rose and Chang, who were partners in a Silicon Valley video consulting business that did corporate videos for large Silicon Val-

venture backers. Waste Management’s investments are aimed primarily at acquiring new technology and production capacity, Rush said. “The only reason we invest in the companies, quite frankly, is to get some opportunities to invest in those kinds of facilities,” Rush said. “At a minimum we want be partners in facilities that use our feedstocks. We do not care to be just a feedstock supplier.” It’s also acquired 7.25 percent of Enerkem’s first commercial plant, under construction in Edmonton, Canada, and it may build six U.S. plants to use the ethanol technology, according to a filing. Waste Management is building a plant in Oregon to use Agilyx’s fuel technology, and its investment includes rights to the plastic-conversion technology for a decade, Rush said. The company is providing feedstock for Fulcrum’s first commercial ethanol plant near Reno, Nevada, and agreed in December to jointly develop chemicals with Genomatica for four years.

ley companies, got advice from a mentor who suggested they focus on the Internet as the way to bring families together. But as they made the rounds looking for investors in Silicon Valley to talk about using video chat to create “a collaborative playspace,” it was tough to get traction. “We knew we had a big problem: We’re all women, we’re all close to 40, we all have children and we don’t have technical backgrounds,” Chang said. As they met with potential investors, “we had people say things like, ‘You girls are cute, but it’s not going to work.’” Ultimately, they signed on engineers Brian Ng and Kenji Morrow to create a five-person startup that is now based in San Francisco. And, by chance, a mutual acquaintance introduced them to the Google+ team. While a beta version of the product is also on the Scoot & Doodle website at scootdoodle .com, it’s not yet open to full public use, which means that the Google+ launch marked the coming-out party for the three founders in front of a potential audience of millions. The startup is still exploring revenue models, but wants to build audience for its product first. “We are committed to learning from the people using the product,” Egy Rose said. “We will land on the right solution.”

The trash hauler is also developing energy technology internally. It operates a pilot plant in Oklahoma City that converts landfill gas into about 250 gallons of diesel a day for the company’s trucks. Rush said the company is open to acquiring energy companies outright, instead of buying minority stakes. Moving into energy is a good strategy for Waste Management, according to Aleksandra Rybczynska, an analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance. “Landfill space in the U.S. is getting more and more limited,” she said. Fulcrum and Enerkem offer a new source of revenue and a new way to dispose of waste, while Genomatica provides an opportunity to “tap into high-revenue chemicals.” Having Waste Management’s support helps small companies achieve scale as they move their technologies from a lab to a commercial setting, she said. “That’s what Waste Management needs, commercially available technology,” she said.

Continued from C1 Once the water travels through the gravel, it makes its way into the cistern, where it goes through one of two micron-filtration filters. It enters the second as it moves from one chamber of the cistern to the other. Finally, the water flows past ultraviolet light, which kills any harmful microorganisms. Even with the cuttingedge rainwater system, Brown said Elliott and Scott will have to be very careful with their water usage to meet Living Building Challenge standards. Elliott and Scott understand. “We timed all our showers (and counted) how many times we flushed the toilet to calculate how much water we used,” Scott said. “I’m confident with a keen eye towards conservation, we’ll have enough water.” In addition to the main water system, highly efficient water-conservation fixtures will be used throughout the home. Allyson Hamlik, Elliott and Scott’s assistant for Desert Rain, said while a regular toilet uses 1.6 gallons per flush, the Desert Rain toilets will each use 0.8 gallons. Chris Hart-Henderson, the Desert Rain landscape designer, said water from the cistern will not be used

for irrigation. While Elliott and Scott will have to irrigate as needed during the first and second growing seasons, she said a combination of drought-tolerant and native plants will be used. “The ultimate goal is to use the rainwater for domestic use,” Hart-Henderson said. For Elliott, limiting his water use might force him to change his habits, but he won’t be deprived. It’s the right thing to do, he said. “When you run water through a home, you have to deal with it and the city has to deal with it,” Elliott said. “If all the homes were managing their water differently, we would have a much lower demand. We wouldn’t need as much infrastructure to supply and treat the water.” Phil Chang, program administrator for the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, said making homes that use water more efficiently is probably the single most important action residents can take to help preserve the Deschutes River basin. “When we can find innovative ways like this to reduce the demand on our local streams and groundwater resources,” he said, “we leave more water to support fish, farms, and potential future residents.” — Reporter: 541-617-7818, rrees@bendbulletin.com

Book offers tips on creating privacy in garden landscapes B y W illiam Hageman Chicago Tribune (MCT)

Used to be, the solution for somebody seeking privacy in the garden was to plant a row of arborvitae and lurk in the shadows. But we have evolved. There are now as many solutions as there are situations. And few of them involve an impenetrable wall of arborvitae. An expert in bringing privacy to the garden is Marty Wingate, whose book, “Landscaping for Privacy: Innovative Ways to Turn Your Outdoor Space Into a Peaceful Retreat” (Timber Press), explores myriad options. “I’ve wanted to write this book for years,” says Wingate, who gardens in Seattle. “It’s an accumulation of questions I get, when I give talks, when I’m on the radio.” Trees can do wonders, but you have to make the right choice. “I always suggest that people look to their local

(Cooperative) Extension Service,” she says. “I have a very small garden. We’re in the city, on a small lot. I can’t have a pin oak.” People are getting more adventurous and don’t believe they have to look like the house next door, Wingate says. That extends to hedges. She recommends a mixed hedgerow as opposed to a more formal hedge defined by a tidy row of boxwoods. The book offers several pages of plant lists, broken down into categories (evergreen shrubs, plants for hedgerows, plants for seaside gardens, vines for trellises, etc.). With such an expansive playbook, there’s no reason for dull uniformity.

NBA T’wolves shut down Love MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love has passed all concussion tests and been cleared by the NBA to return to the court, but the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t about to take any chances Love with the new face of their franchise. The Wolves shut their All-Star power forward down on Sunday, not wanting to risk further injury in the final two games of the season. Love has been out since being knocked woozy in a game at Denver on April 11. He suffered what the team called a mild concussion and a strained neck, but the possibility remained that he would return before the season ended. Coach Rick Adelman said before Sunday’s game against Golden State that the combination of missed time and the sensitive nature of head injuries made it not worth the risk. Love returned to practice on Saturday and said he felt good back on the court, but said he would do what was in the best interests of his long-term health. Guard Luke Ridnour also has been shut down with a sprained right ankle that has kept him out since April 2. “It’s just best for both of them not to push it,” Adelman said. Love is fourth in the league with 26 points per game and second in rebounding with 13.3 per game.

Indoor bike park planned for Portland

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

PORTLAND — After making his first pilgrimage to Ray’s Mountain Bike Indoor Park in Cleveland in 2004, Portland’s Will Heiberg talked to anyone and everyone who would listen about establishing a similar venue in his home city. Almost eight years later, Heiberg’s vision is on the verge of becoming a reality. Early next month, Heiberg, 43, and his business partner, fellow Portlander Michael Whitesel, 44, will open the Lumberyard, a 50,000-square-foot indoor bicycle park in Northeast Portland that they plan to expand to about 70,000 square feet by the end of the summer. To put the size and scope of the Lumberyard into perspective, Bend’s Lava Lanes bowling alley, which houses 32 lanes and a full sports bar, is approximately 33,000 square feet. (The Lumberyard is being built in a former bowling facility and, like Lava Lanes, has a relatively low ceiling.) “When Ray’s first opened, we got a bunch of friends together and flew out to Cleveland,” says Heiberg, talking about the country’s first indoor bike park, which started up in 2004 and was purchased by Trek Bikes in 2010. “I walked in and was completely blown away. It was like a skatepark on steroids. See Inside / D6

Rafael Nadal

Nadal knocks off Djokovic for title MONACO — Rafael Nadal finally managed to beat Novak Djokovic in a final, thrashing the top-ranked Serb 6-3, 61 on Sunday to win the Monte Carlo Masters for the eighth consecutive year and end a run of seven straight defeats to his rival in title matches. Nadal was hardly troubled by Djokovic in this one and broke the Serb’s serve five times in a one-sided affair on clay to win his 42nd straight match at Monte Carlo. It was his first title since last year’s French Open and the 47th of his career. The 25-year-old Nadal thrust his hands in the air after clinching victory in style with an ace that flew past the beleaguered Djokovic, who beat Nadal in an epic Australian Open final this year. Djokovic, who has been playing through grief since the death of his grandfather Thursday, said he felt emotionally drained and was unable to summon the mental strength he needed to dig deep against Nadal. “I definitely don’t want to take away anything from Rafa’s win. He was a better player,” Djokovic said. — The Associated Press

NFL

Bend’s Mattox making mark with Ducks Teams fear picking ‘busts’ in NFL draft

BEAU EASTES

ust two meets into the 2012 outdoor track and field season, Bend’s Kimber Mattox has seemingly transformed herself from a small-school standout at Willamette University into a key contributor at the University of Oregon, which is in the hunt for its first national women’s outdoor title since 1985. Mattox, who graduated from Bend High in 2007, is finishing her college eligibility in Eugene this spring, running track for the Ducks as a redshirt senior after excelling for NCAA Division III Willamette in Salem for the past three years. Despite completing her undergraduate degree in exercise science from Willamette last June, Mattox still had one year of cross-country and track eligibility left. She joined the Ducks last fall as a graduate student in the school’s department of human physiology. The early results for track are more than promising. In her first meet in the green and gold two weeks ago, Mattox won the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Pepsi Team Invitational at UO’s Hayward Field, shaving more than eight seconds off her personal-best time to finish in 10 minutes, 15.05 seconds. She was even faster this past Saturday at the Oregon Relays, which also were at Hayward, taking second in the steeplechase to Nike’s Lauren Johnson in 10:06.58, another PR. See Mattox / D5

Oregon’s Kimber Mattox came in second in the steeplechase during the Oregon Relays at Hayward Field in Eugene Saturday.

CLEVELAND — The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, is filled with the busts of the game’s greatest players, their images preserved in bronze. Up the road in Cleveland, there are other busts. Cincinnati’s had a few of the latter kind, too. So have Detroit, Buffalo, Oakland, Kansas City and other National Football League cities. They’re just about everywhere. You know these busts, those can’t-possiblymiss players tagged as saviors on draft day who wind up flopping on the field. Jamarcus Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in 2007, was supposed to pull the Oakland Raiders out of their black hole. Ryan Leaf, who some thought should have been taken ahead of Peyton Manning in the 1998 draft, was selected with the No. 2 pick in 1998, flamed out in San Diego and was recently arrested twice in four days on accusations of burglary to steal prescription painkillers. Akili Smith. Charles Rogers. Courtney Brown. Joey Harrington. Brian Bosworth. Peter Warrick. Mike Williams. Brady Quinn. Tony Mandarich — the list of busts goes on. And this year, a few more names could be added to the roll call of notable flounders. On Thursday night, teams will begin selecting players they have watched for hours on film. See Busts / D5

S B Baseball • Beavers take another from UCLA: Ryan Gorton’s two-run single in the seventh inning put Oregon State ahead to stay, and relief pitcher Tony Bryant worked out of trouble in the ninth Sunday to preserve a 7-6 Pac-12 Conference win for the Beavers over No. 11 UCLA at Goss Stadium in Corvallis. The win was the second in a row for OSU (26-12 overall, 8-7 Pac-12), which won the best-of-three series two games to one. The Bruins (26-10, 11-7) had runners on first and second bases with two outs in the ninth inning before Bryant retired Jeff Gelalich on a fly ball to end the game. Gelalich had three hits for UCLA, as did Cody Regis, whose two-run homer in the second inning tied the score at 2-2. Gorton finished with three RBIs and John Tommasini had two hits for the Beavers, who were outhit 12-5 but scored five unearned runs thanks to three Bruin errors. Oregon State plays at rival Oregon in a nonconference game Tuesday; game time at PK Park in Eugene is 6 p.m. • Ducks fall to WSU: Washington State roughed up Oregon pitching for 13 hits — the most given up by the Ducks all season — and rolled to a 10-6 Pac-12 Conference victory Sunday at PK Park in Eugene. The win was the second of the three-game series for the Cougars (20-16 overall, 7-7 Pac-12). For the eighthranked Ducks (27-12, 11-7), it was the first series loss since they dropped two out of three games at Washington (March 16-17). Washington State broke open a close game in the fifth inning, when they turned a 3-2 lead into a 7-2 advantage. Tommy Richards, WSU’s senior second baseman from Bend, stroked a two-run single to cap the fifth-inning scoring. Oregon was down 10-2 before rallying for four runs over the last two innings, but it was not enough. Taylor Ard was three for five with two home runs and five RBIs for the Cougars. Brett Thomas was two for three with two RBIs for Oregon, which plays a nonconference game at home Tuesday against rival Oregon State; game time is set for 6 p.m.

Lacrosse • Bend United girls top Sisters: Katie Alhart, Tori Landin and Allie Rockett scored three goals each on Sunday, leading Bend United to a 15-9 Oregon Girls Lacrosse Association South League road victory over Sisters. Cayley Allan had five assists and Trinity Tankersley had three for Bend United, which improved its record to 7-4. The Outlaws dropped to 0-10. On Saturday at Sisters, the Outlaws entertain South Eugene at 10 a.m., Bend United faces South Eugene at 12:30 p.m., and Sisters plays Bend United at 3 p.m.

Tennis • Serena leads U.S. to Fed Cup victory: Serena Williams defeated Lesia Tsurenko 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday to send the United States back into the Fed Cup World

Group by clinching a series victory over Ukraine in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Williams’ win gave the U.S. an insurmountable 3-0 lead. Christina McHale later won 7-5, 6-3 against 17-year-old Ukrainian Elina Svitolina to secure a sweep of the singles matches. Williams was making her first Fed Cup appearance on foreign soil in more than a decade to become eligible for the U.S. team at the London Olympics.

Olympics • Wrestlers earn berths for London: Ellis Coleman, best known for his unorthodox “Flying Squirrel” flip over opponents, headlined the list of wrestlers who earned spots Sunday night on the U.S. team headed to the London Olympics. The 20-yearold Coleman upset top-seeded Joe Betterman in the 60-kilogram Greco-Roman weight class to earn a trip to London in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City, Iowa. Jake Herbert, Jared Frayer, Tervel Dlagnev, Ben Proviso and Sam Hazewinkel also claimed spots on the U.S. team. Clarissa Chun became the first American woman to qualify for the Olympics twice, and Elena Pirozhkova made the team for the first time. Henry Cejudo, who won a freestyle gold medal in Beijing in 2008, lost to Nick Simmons in the semifinals earlier Sunday and promptly retired. Simmons, Oregon State wrestling’s director of operations, finished second at 55 kilograms.

Running • Kenyans win London Marathon: Kenyan marathon runners showed their superiority going into the Olympics, with Wilson Kipsang and Mary Keitany coasting to victory in London on Sunday to virtually assure themselves of selection for the games. Kipsang, the second-fastest marathon runner ever, won the 26.2-mile race for the first time in 2 hours, 4 minutes, 44 seconds, more than two minutes ahead of fellow Kenyan Martin Lel. Keitany defended her title in 2:18:37 for an African record. Organizers announced late Sunday that one of the around 37,000 participants died after collapsing near the finish at Buckingham Palace.

Gymnastics • Georgia’s Ding wins two NCAA titles: Georgia’s Kat Ding defended her NCAA women’s gymnastics championship on the uneven bars and added another title on the floor exercise Sunday in Duluth, Ga. Ding, a senior, helped make up for the Gym Dogs’ inability to advance to Saturday’s Super Six team final. Four of six judges awarded Ding perfect 10s on the uneven bars, and her winning average was 9.9875. She won the floor exercise with a score of 9.950. Alabama, which won its second straight team championship Saturday, added an individual title when Geralen Stack-Eaton won the balance beam with a 9.9375 score. Florida’s Kytra Hunter won the vault with a 9.875. —From wire reports

NHL PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

GOLF ROUNDUP

Kings knock off Canucks 2-1 in OT to advance to next round

Eric Gay / The Associated Press

Ben Curtis holds his trophy after winning the Texas Open on Sunday in San Antonio. Curtis finished at 9 under par.

Curtis gets first PGA win since 2006 The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Six years later, Ben Curtis is a PGA Tour champion again. His victory Sunday in the Texas Open didn’t come easy. Neither did his words describing the redemption of nearly a decade spent falling from British Open champion to, this year, waiting by the phone simply for a chance to play. His voice quivered, and his eyes welled up. “It’s been a tough couple years just fighting through it,” Curtis said. Holding off Matt Every and John Huh in a tense back-nine finish, Curtis finished with a flourish by holing a 12-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th, sealing a two-stroke victory and his fourth PGA Tour title. His even-par 72 put him at 9 under and triggered a wave of emotions that Curtis said he didn’t know were in him. Curtis won $1,116,000 and a two-year tour exemption — a more meaningful reward after being relegated to a status so low that this victory came in just the fourth PGA Tour event he managed to get into this year. “You think you’re just staying positive and not worried about it, but I think deep down, you realize all the hard work you put in that, you know, finally paid off,” Curtis said. It was 2003 when Curtis kissed the Claret Jug at Royal St. George’s with a square jawline and closely cropped black hair. This time, he was handed a pair of cowboy boots, smiling with a rounder face and a better appreciation of the journey. “When you come out here and win one, well, if I win one every year I have a great career. That would be true,” Curtis said. “But, you know, to get to three, four, five wins — you’re a solid player. I just feel like you get yourself into contention and just have that belief, and anything can happen.” Every had a 71 and lost a chance at his first tour win with a shaky putter. Huh roared back with a 69, but the Mayakoba Classic winner fell just short of completing what would have been a remarkable comeback. Huh nearly withdrew Thursday when he plunged to 5 over through only his first three holes and finished with a 77. But he rebounded with rounds of 68 and 67 to give Curtis and Every another player to worry about Sunday. “I didn’t really expect too much, final round,” Huh said. While Huh’s first round was ultimately too big of a hole to overcome, Every couldn’t close the deal after starting the tournament with a course-record 63. Four blown putts from 9 feet or closer — including a 6-footer for birdie — kept Every a stroke back until Curtis birdied No. 18. It was nonetheless a validating week for the 28-year-old Floridian, whose only name recognition in three winless years on the tour was a misdemeanor marijuana arrest as a rookie in 2010. That earned a PGA Tour suspension, and even now, Every’s official biography lists regaining his tour privileges as his biggest achievement. “A little bummed out,” Every said. “Kind of a pillow fight there for a while between the three of us.” In other tournaments on Sunday: Frost and Allen take Legends of Golf title SAVANNAH, Ga. — David Frost and Michael Allen won the Champions Tour’s Legends of Golf, shooting a 10-under 62 for a one-stroke victory over John Cook and Joey Sindelar in the better-ball event. Frost and Allen, coming off a victory last week at TPC Tampa Bay, finished at 29-under 187 at The Club at Savannah Harbor. Cook and Sindelar, former Ohio State teammates, closed with a 61. Grace gets another European win TIANJIN, China — Branden Grace won the China Open for his third European Tour victory of the year, closing with a 3-under 69 to hold off 2011 winner Nicolas Colsaerts by three strokes. The 23-year-old Grace, from South Africa, finished at 21-under 267 at Binhai Lake. He won the Joburg Open and Volvo Champions in consecutive weeks in South Africa in January. Westwood defends title JAKARTA, Indonesia — Third-ranked Lee Westwood successfully defended his Indonesian Masters title, shooting a 2-over 74 for a two-stroke victory over Thailand’s Thaworn Wiratchant. Westwood played 32 holes Sunday, finishing off a 65 in the raindelayed third round. He had a 16-under 272 total at Royale Jakarta.

The Associated Press VANCOUVER, British Columbia — With a quick flick of his wrists, Jarret Stoll sent the Los Angeles Kings on to face St. Louis in the second round — and the Vancouver Canucks into the offseason a lot sooner than they expected after topping the NHL in the regular season. Stoll beat Cory Schneider at 4:27 of overtime to give Los Angeles a 2-1 victory over Vancouver on Sunday night, knocking out the top-seeded Canucks in five games in the Western Conference firstround series. Stoll scored from the left wing after a turnover at the Vancouver blue line. The forward skated in on a two-on-one, but took the shot himself, picking the top-left corner above Schneider’s blocker. “It’s special,” Stoll said. “It’s pride in the organization, and your team and your teammates and coaching staff. They’re a great team over there, it took a lot to beat them.” Brad Richardson tied it for Los Angeles at 3:21 of the third period, and Jonathan Quick made 26 saves. “To close out this series, for me personally, and a few guys in the room, it’s something we’ve never done, so it’s a great feeling,” Quick said. The Kings will play the secondseeded St. Louis Blues in the second round. “You’ve got to give credit to the Kings,” Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. “They played a real great series, a real tough opponent, played strong hockey, made the strong plays on the ice and, at the end of the day, they deserved to win.” Henrik Sedin opened the scoring for Vancouver with a powerplay goal in the first period. Schneider made 35 saves in his third straight start after Roberto Luongo lost the first two games. “If you play the way we did in the last three every game you’ll be in every game and then our skill is going to take over,” Henrik Sedin said. “In the first game, we took way too many penalties. In the second, the power play cost us the game. If you do that in a seven-game series, you give away two games, you’ve got to win four out of five and that’s tough when they don’t give you an inch out there.” The Canucks dropped out in the first round after leading the NHL in regular-season points for the second straight year. Last season, they lost to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

Los Angeles Kings’ Jarret Stoll, right, and Dwight King celebrate after Stoll scored the game-winning goal during overtime of Game 5 of an NHL Western Conference quarterfinal in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday. Los Angeles won the series 4 games to 1.

Few Rangers practice before facing elimination G REENBURGH, N.Y. — If you didn’t know the top-seeded New York Rangers were one loss away from elimination, the low-key practice before their biggest game of the season wouldn’t have given away the dire circumstances. After their best season in years, the Rangers are trailing the No. 8 seed, the Ottawa Senators, 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. If New York doesn’t win on the road tonight and then capture Game 7 back at home on Thursday night, the 51 wins and the first-place finishes in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference won’t mean a thing. Adorned on the high wall at the Rangers’ suburban practice facility is a motivational saying that can be seen on either side of the circular dressing room: “Everyone wants to win ... not everyone is willing to prepare to win.” The Rangers, who dropped Games 4 and 5, lost three in a row during the regular season only twice — including the first three games they played. “Whoever is going to win has to win four,” Rangers forward Brad Richards said, “and no one has done that yet.” Only 11 players took the ice Sunday in what could have been the Rangers’ final practice of the season, and many of them aren’t likely to be in the Game 6 lineup today in Ottawa. — The Associated Press

“To be honest, it doesn’t matter if you lose the seventh game of the finals or you lose in five in the first round, it’s devastating,” Daniel Sedin said. “We have the mindset to win every year. When you end up on the losing side it’s tough.” Vancouver’s new second line of Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows and Max Lapierre made a quick impression. Burrows fed Kesler from behind the net about a 90 seconds in, but Quick stopped the center’s shot from the slot.

The Canucks then ran into early penalty trouble and didn’t get another shot for 6 minutes before Lapierre put one on Quick. Vancouver killed penalties to Dan Hamhuis and Henrik Sedin, but couldn’t get its power play going on its first advantage. However, with Henrik Sedin double-shifting, the Canucks capitalized on the second when the Vancouver captain put in a cross-ice pass from Daniel Sedin with 5:56 left in the period. The opportunity came after

Hamhuis kept Mike Richards’ clearing attempt in at the blue line. Schneider preserved the lead when he stopped Anze Kopitar on a breakaway in the dying seconds of the first period. Kopitar put the rebound off the post as time expired. Both goaltenders stole the show in the second period as neither team could score.

MOTOR SPORTS ROUNDUP

Hamlin holds off Truex for Kansas victory The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The sun shined brightly on Denny Hamlin at Kansas Speedway. At the most opportune of times, too. Hamlin’s car hooked up after the final pit stop Sunday, just as the sun finally broke through on an overcast afternoon, and he powered by Martin Truex Jr. for the lead. Hamlin then managed to hold off a late charge by Truex to win for the second time this season. “Whether it was coincidence or not,” Hamlin said, “our car definitely felt better when the sun came out. I felt the car lost a lot of grip, but I guess a lot of guys did.” It was Hamlin’s first career win at Kansas and gave his Joe Gibbs Racing team some momentum heading to Richmond, where the Virginia driver has won twice in 12 career starts. “I felt all day I was behind the 56 and his car looked so superior to the whole field, and we just needed some kind of change — the weather, an adjustment — to make something happen,” Hamlin said, smiling. “And we got both of them.” Jimmie Johnson was third for Hendrick Motorsports, which has failed in 14 tries to win the team’s milestone 200th race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne also finished in the top 10. “I was just watching from the third spot, hoping those guys would give me an opportunity,” Johnson said. “I just wish I was closer to those guys to race for it.” Hamlin’s best finish at Kansas had been third last year, and for most of Sunday he was content to ride around during long green-flag runs out of the spotlight. His car

kept getting better with each stop, though, and his Toyota finally took off at the end. Just as the sun finally poked through on an unseasonably cold day. “They didn’t panic,” team owner J.D. Gibbs said. “They paced themselves, and I’m glad the sun stayed out a little at the end.” Truex dominated most of the afternoon, leading a race-high 173 laps, but had to settle for second place. It was his third top-5 finish of the season, but he’s yet to win in 175 races. “Sorry guys, I lost this one for you,” a despondent Truex radioed to his team. “Hey man, you did a great job,” came the reply. “They know we were here.” Truex said his final set of tires

cost him. He was the loosest he’d been all race, and that allowed Hamlin to charge into the lead. Truex rallied within a car length with two laps to go, but he couldn’t make a move on the bottom side stick, allowing Hamlin to pull away. “I guess if we can be this frustrated with second, it tells you how close we are as a team,” said Truex, who hasn’t won since Dover in 2007. “The race car was really good. I’m just not really sure what to think about that last set of tires. I was just wrecking-loose that last set.” Truex called the performance a statement moment for Michael Waltrip Racing. Hamlin is starting to have a statement season. He won this year at Phoenix,

started on the pole at California, and led 31 laps a couple weeks ago at Martinsville before finishing sixth. He was 12th last week at Texas. “We felt a lot like Phoenix in the sense we just hung around the top five all day, and at the end we just kind of make our charge, make our run,” Hamlin said. “There were a couple things that had to happen the last run for us to work out, and those things happened.” Matt Kenseth finished fourth despite having a wild afternoon trying to get into the pits, often sliding across the commitment line. Greg Biffle followed up his victory last week at Texas with a fifth-place run, though he conceded he didn’t have the car to contend at Kansas. “It was a tough day,” Biffle said. “We were back and forth all day, and we were off just a bit. When the track had a lot of grip the car was unbelievable.” Kevin Harvick was sixth, followed by Earnhardt and Kahne, giving Hendrick Motorsports at least three cars in the top-10 for the second straight week. Also on Sunday: Vettel wins Bahrain GP SAKHIR, Bahrain — Two-time world champion Sebastian Vettel held off a charging Kimi Raikkonen to win an incident-free Bahrain Grand Prix for his first victory of the season. Vettel started from the pole for the first time this year and led from start to finish. Raikkonen worked his way up from 11th on the grid to finish 3.3 seconds behind for his first podium finish since returning to the sport this season. Raikkonen’s Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean was third, followed by Vettel’s Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Rangers 3, Tigers 2: DETROIT — Alberto Gonzalez’s squeeze bunt turned into an RBI infield single in the 11th inning, and Texas went on to beat Detroit. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Gonzalez bunted back to pitcher Thad Weber (0-1), who had no play at the plate on runner Nelson Cruz. Weber froze with the ball, and first baseman Miguel Cabrera struggled to get back to the bag in time. Everybody was safe, and Texas took the lead. • Rays 6, Twins 2: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Desmond Jennings homered and drove in three runs as Tampa Bay beat Minnesota. Jennings had a sacrifice fly during a two-run third and made it 5-0 in the fifth with a two-run homer off Francisco Liriano (0-3). • Blue Jays 5, Royals 3: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ricky Romero won his third straight start, Brett Lawrie stole home and drove in two runs and Toronto beat Kansas City, sending the Royals to their 10th straight loss. The Royals have only six skids longer than 10 in franchise history. It is their longest losing streak since dropping 12 consecutive May 19- 30, 2008. • Orioles 3, Angels 2: ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nick Markakis hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and a run-scoring single in the 10th, leading Baltimore to a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. LaTroy Hawkins (0-1) came on in the 10th and issued a leadoff walk to No. 9 hitter Robert Andino, who advanced on a sacrifice by Endy Chavez and a groundout by J.J. Hardy before Markakis grounded a hard single up the middle that deflected off the glove of second baseman Howie Kendrick and into center field on a 1-2 pitch. • White Sox 7, Mariners 4: SEATTLE — Alex Rios got three hits and drove in three runs as the Chicago White Sox completed a series sweep of Seattle. John Danks (2-2) went six innings for the win. Chicago has won 19 of the past 22 meetings between the teams. • Athletics 5, Indians 1: OAKLAND, Calif. — Seth Smith hit a two-run homer, helping Tyson Ross get his first win in nearly a year as Oakland avoided a series sweep with a victory over Cleveland. Cliff Pennington had two hits and drove in two runs for the A’s, who ended a two-game slide and have won four of six.

• Astros 12, Dodgers 0: HOUSTON — Jordan Schafer hit his first career grand slam on a shot that bounced off the glove of Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier, Wandy Rodriguez pitched three-hit ball through seven innings and Houston romped past Los Angeles. The Astros avoided a sweep and handed the Dodgers their most-lopsided shutout loss since a 13-0 defeat by the Angels in June 2004. • Diamondbacks 6, Braves 4: PHOENIX — Gerardo Parra hit his first career grand slam to cap a five-run second inning and Arizona beat Atlanta, snapping a five-game losing streak. The Braves had won five in a row. Ian Kennedy (3-0) posted his seventh straight win dating to last August. J.J. Putz recorded his fifth save despite allowing a one-out home run to Juan Francisco. • Cardinals 5, Pirates 1: PITTSBURGH — Kyle Lohse scattered six hits while pitching into the eighth inning to lead St. Louis past Pittsburgh. David Freese had a two-run single for the Cardinals and Rafael Furcal had three hits to support Lohse (3-0). • Rockies 4, Brewers 1: MILWAUKEE — Michael Cuddyer lined a two-run double in the eighth and Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven strong innings, leading Colorado over Milwaukee. The win put a damper on the celebration of Ryan Braun’s NL MVP and Silver Slugger awards. The Brewers’ slugger received his trophies in a pregame ceremony. • Reds 4, Cubs 3: CHICAGO — Johnny Cueto threw 6 1⁄3 strong innings to lead Cincinnati past Chicago. Cueto (2-0) allowed one earned run, scattering five hits. He struck out seven and lowered his ERA to 1.78. Two runners were on base with one out when Cueto exited in the seventh. With two outs and the bases loaded, Aroldis Chapman struck out Ian Stewart looking with a fastball that registered 99 mph. • Padres 6, Phillies 1: SAN DIEGO — Nick Hundley homered, tripled and drove in a career-high four runs, leading Anthony Bass and San Diego past Philadelphia. A day after snapping a 13-game home losing streak to the Phillies, San Diego posted its first two-game winning streak of the season.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, right, puts up a shot as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Thabo Sefolosha defends during overtime in their game on Sunday in Los Angeles. The Lakers won 114-106 in overtime.

Lakers rally for double OT win over Thunder The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Metta World Peace was subdued and contrite in the Los Angeles Lakers’ locker room, apologizing to Oklahoma City’s James Harden for throwing the elbow that sent them both to the locker room in the second quarter. They both missed a beauty of a game that could echo into the postseason for two division leaders. Kobe Bryant scored six of his 26 points in the second overtime alongside an unorthodox Lakers lineup, and Los Angeles rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half for a 114106 victory over the Thunder on Sunday. Pau Gasol had 20 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, who made an impressive comeback in their regular-season home finale against off-target Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who combined to miss 42 of their 56 shots. Los Angeles’ rally stunned the Thunder and set an early tone for their possible second-round playoff matchup. “It’s not so much that we beat Oklahoma, but how we did it,” said Bryant, who shook off his own woeful shooting game with two key three-pointers late in regulation. “In the playoffs, particularly if you don’t have home-court advantage, you’re going to have games like this. We have to have the poise and the confidence to just keep chipping away.” Yet everything after halftime was colored by the drama and violence that occurred 1:37 before the break. World Peace had just dunked over Durant and Serge Ibaka on a fast break and was headed back upcourt when he ran into Harden. While pounding his chest with his right arm, World Peace raised his left elbow over Harden’s shoulder and cleanly hit Harden in the back of the skull. Harden dropped to the court and stayed down for about a minute before heading to the locker room. Ibaka and other Thunder players challenged World Peace, but were kept apart, and World Peace was ejected after officials reviewed the tape. “I got real emotional and excited, and it was unfortunate that James had to get hit with the unintentional elbow,” said World Peace, who had scored 12 points and played solid defense on Durant. “I hope he’s OK. Oklahoma, they’re playing for a championship this year. I apologize to the Thunder and James Harden. It was just unfortunate.” The Thunder didn’t

NBA ROUNDUP immediately announce whether Harden, who scored 14 points, had a concussion. Bryant and other Lakers acknowledged World Peace is likely to face a multigame suspension with just one game left in their regular season. “I’m just happy my teammate is all right,” said Durant, who scored 35 points on 11-for-34 shooting. “It was a bad play. Hopefully Ron didn’t do it intentionally or have any malicious intentions on that. We’ve got to move past that.” Ibaka had 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Thunder.

Continued from D1 “I feel good,” Mattox said after the meet. “It was nice to have people out here pulling me along. I was able to take a few seconds off my time.” While her jump from an accomplished Division III program to the top-ranked women’s team in the country is fairly unusual, her success should hardly be a surprise. The Division III national runner-up a year ago, Mattox won the steeplechase at the Oregon Relays two years ago while with Willamette and her top time from 2011, 10:23.34, would have won that year’s Pac-10 championship. Mattox’s time Saturday was the third-fastest mark in UO history and the fourth-best mark in the NCAA this season. “I think it’s going to be a great way to challenge myself and experience a whole different level of competition,” Mattox told The Oregonian newspaper earlier this month. “It’s been really neat to learn from the coaches and all the people

Busts Continued from D1 Scouts and front-office members have spent months poring over statistics, assessing 40yard-dash times and vertical leaps, reviewing interviews and Wonderlic tests and performing background checks on these potential future employees. The goal is to get it right and pick a quality player of high character who can help you win. Get it wrong, and the consequences can be catastrophic for an organization. “Everybody wants the 10year Pro Bowler, which is fine, but I’ll take the two-year Pro Bowler rather than a bust,” said Browns general manager Tom Heckert, who has 13 picks at his disposal this year. “You don’t want a bust, you can’t have a bust. That’s what you are trying to avoid.” The Browns, perhaps more than any other team, have perfected the art of the wrong choice. Cleveland has had seven picks in the top 10 of the draft since its 1999 NFL rebirth. The Browns picked first in 1999 (Tim Couch) and 2000 (Brown), they had the No. 3 selection in 2001 (Gerard Warren), 2005 (Braylon Edwards), and 2007 (Joe Thomas), the No. 6 in 2004 (Kellen Winslow), and the No. 7 (Joe Haden) in 2010. After taking Thomas, the Browns traded their 2008 first-round pick to move back into the first round and select Quinn, the Notre Dame star who left all his Irish luck in college. Tabbed as the future, he played in 14 games, was traded in 2010 to Denver and is now with Kansas City. This year, a Browns team that has made the playoffs just once in 13 years and posted 10 seasons with at least 10 losses in that span will pick at No. 4 and No. 22 in the first round. Besides Thomas, who has made five straight Pro Bowls, Cleveland’s poor track record on top picks is perhaps the biggest reason the Browns are 68140 in their orange-helmeted incarnation. It is somewhat unfair to label Couch a bust since he had no talent around him, and he remains the only quarterback to get Cleveland to the playoffs, though he missed the game in Pittsburgh with a broken leg. Brown, too, was the victim of misfortune, as injuries sabotaged and shortened the pass rusher’s career. But the Browns’ selection of Warren, a journeyman, over Richard Seymour — Cleveland coach Butch Davis insisted on Warren — and ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson altered Cleveland’s course for years. Heckert is determined not to repeat the mistakes of previous regimes. But in the draft, there are no guarantees. “Everybody knows it’s a crapshoot sometimes,” he said. The Bengals have bungled their share of picks. A recurring theme during Cincinnati’s 22-year gap between playoff wins has been the team’s inability to pick the right quarterback — that is, until selecting Andy Dalton last year. The Bengals have drafted talented quarterbacks before, but the team’s failure was in managing them or forcing them into systems that did not fit their talents. In 1992, the Bengals took David Klingler with the sixth

on the team.” Not only was Mattox a star track athlete at Willamette — she owns the school’s fastest steeplechase and 1,500meter times — she was an all-conference soccer player and an all-America crosscountry runner. As a high school sophomore, Mattox won the 2004 Class 4A state cross-country race a day after helping the Lava Bears defeat Milwaukie in overtime in the second round of the state soccer playoffs. Now focused solely on the steeplechase for the first time in her career, Mattox could help the Ducks capture the elusive national title that has been ever so close the past three seasons. In each of the past three years, Oregon has finished as the national runner-up to Texas A&M, including a four-point loss to the Aggies last June. Mattox and the Ducks continue their season Thursday at the three-day Penn Relays in Philadelphia. —Reporter: 541-383-0305; beastes@bendbulletin.com.

overall pick and tried to turn a run-and-shoot quarterback who broke NCAA records at Houston into a pocket passer behind a bad offensive line with a below-average receiving corps. Disaster. They tried the same thing with Smith, the third overall pick in 1999 out of Oregon, where he was taught to make a quick read and then run if nobody was open. After sitting most of his rookie season, Smith was given Cincinnati’s starting job in 2000 with two rookie receivers — Warrick and Ron Dugans. Another bad idea. Head coach Bruce Coslet quit three games into the season. After only 10 games, the franchise gave up on Smith as a starter. “I didn’t know what was going on,” Smith said. “They made me the third pick of the draft. They gave me a lot of money. And they weren’t going to give me a shot the following year. I couldn’t understand it, but I dealt with it.” More than a few drafts have rendered the Bills busted and disgusted. They can blame their 12year playoff drought — the league’s current longest — in part to overreaching in the draft. Their first-round failures are numerous and notable. In 2002, they took Williams, an immense offensive tackle from Texas, fourth overall. He lasted only three seasons before being cut. Two years later, they traded back into the first round to select quarterback J.P. Losman, who had an up-anddown five-year stint and failed to become the team’s franchise player. Then, in 2009, Buffalo picked Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin 11th overall. He didn’t register a sack or break into the starting lineup in two seasons before being unceremoniously cut during training camp last summer. General manager Buddy Nix said the only way to guard against picking a bust is preparation. With the clock ticking, nerves fray and panic can ensue. “We’ve made this mistake before and I’m talking about me,” Nix said, “is not being prepared if the guy you want at that spot all of a sudden is gone, and you’ve got five minutes to make the next pick. You better have your plan of where you’re going if he’s not there. I’ve had it happen more than once, and the mistakes we made was not being prepared to go to the next guy.” Heckert cannot afford any errors. He needs to find playmakers for an offense that scored just 218 points last season. He cannot overreach. He cannot be fooled. He cannot blow it. Not this year. Not with the Browns still a mess and Cleveland fans demanding a quick turnaround. It’s win — or bust. “There’s a lot of pressure from media, fans, people in your building, scouts, and it’s my job to say, ‘Wait a minute. It’s not the right thing to do,’” he said. “That is the hardest thing to convey to the fans. It’s not like we don’t want those guys, we want them just as bad as they do, but we don’t want to make a mistake doing it. There is way more mistakes made than great players picked. “We just try to do the right thing.”

C YCL I NG C EN T R A L

In s id e Continued from D1 “There were jumps, ramps, rocks. It was overwhelming and amazing. I mean, we spent three days in Cleveland, Ohio, in the middle of the winter. “On the plane ride back,” Heiberg recalls, “I just kept thinking, ‘I’ve got to bring this to Portland. This deserves to be in Portland.’ ” Designed to appeal to BMX and mountain bike riders of all ages and abilities, the Lumberyard looks like a supersized version of the backyard stunt course you and your friends might have constructed in junior high — if you and your friends had architectural degrees, power tools and more than $3 million at your disposal. Wooden pump tracks — BMX-style courses on which bikers try to ride with just their momentum and no pedaling — for all levels of riders take up a good chunk of the former AMF bowling center on Northeast 82nd Street, while a singletrack cross-country mountain bike course, complete with log barriers, weaves in and around the park. While the current property has a 14-foot ceiling, the second construction phase of the Lumberyard project, to be completed this summer, calls for a 20,000-square-foot second addition to be built adjacent to the original structure. The second addition will include a 40-foot outside ceiling to allow for higher jumps and a more vertical singletrack loop for mountain bikers. “I feel like I’m in a highstakes poker match, I’m loving my hand, and I just went all in,” says Heiberg, a longtime cyclist who last June quit his job as video-game designer to devote all his time and energy to the Lumberyard. “I was at a crossroad. If you are going to make a go of it, you have to go all in or pass on it. You can’t do it halfway.” Nothing at the Lumberyard is being done halfway. The entire project — the purchase of the property, redevelopment, the new building in the summer — is expected to cost about $3.5 million, according to Lumberyard marketing director Matthew Mangus, who adds that the facility is expected to turn a profit within its first year of operation. Complementing the acres of riding space at the Lumberyard will be lockers and showers, a meeting room, retail space, and a brewpubstyle restaurant. “In addition to the ride, one main thing we take serious is creating an environment you want to hang out in,” says Mangus, 40, who stresses the appeal of the park to riders of all ages and ability. “The meeting room, every club in the city will have access to. … If a new company wants to launch a product, they can do that here.” The Lumberyard’s initial pricing structure is similar to downhill skiing’s business model. Guests can buy singleday passes, or for a discount they can purchase multipleday and seasonal passes. As posted on the Lumberyard’s website, current adult prices — for ages 12 and older — are $24.95 for weekday use, $29.95 for weekends, $49.95 for a two-day pass and $74.95 for a three-day pass.

Mangus adds that the Lumberyard, which he says will be only the fifth indoor bike park in North America and just the second west of the Mississippi, will offer summer and winter passes, for $299.95 and $499.95, respectively. So what’s the draw for Central Oregonians? Mangus concedes that the riding season is longer east of the Cascades, but he notes that the Lumberyard can be another stop for a rider from Central Oregon visiting Portland for a long weekend. “This creates something else to do when you’re over here,” Mangus says. “If you’re an active, athletic person and you come up to Mount Hood to ski or to Portland to party, rent a bike (at the Lumberyard) and come play. “If you’re coming over with kids from Bend, this creates an opportunity for the whole family,” Mangus adds. “The way things are laid out architecturally, you can put your 2-year-old in the (toddler) zone … and be in one spot looking at your sixth-grader in the beginner zone at the same time.” Financially, Heiberg and Whitesel are venturing into uncharted, if not promising, waters. Ray Petro built the first indoor bike park in the U.S. in 2004, putting his $50,000 life savings into an abandoned warehouse west of downtown Cleveland, according to a recent New York Times article. Petro, a general contractor, and an army of volunteers, eventually built 100,000 square feet of bicycling bliss in his Cleveland park before the Trek buyout six years later. Since Petro opened the first Ray’s in Cleveland, several similar venues have begun to dot the indoor bike park landscape. In 2009, Boulder, Colo., welcomed an indoor velodrome that included dedicated space for mountain biking. And in 2010 Trek built a 110,000-square-foot indoor park in Milwaukee. (Petro now works for Trek as a builder and designer for both the Cleveland and Milwaukee parks.) In Syracuse, N.Y., a pair of businessmen recently opened CranX Indoor and Outdoor Bike and Sports Park in a 90,000-squarefoot former warehouse. “When Trek bought out Ray and opened (a park) in Milwaukee, it put the industry and world on notice that this was a viable business model,” Mangus says. Heiberg’s quest to bring an indoor park to the Pacific

Northwest began to take shape in earnest in 2010 when he teamed with Whitesel, a former Portland State University business professor and real estate investor. Ideally, the pair hoped to find an industrial space of about 100,000 square feet on Portland’s east side, but zoning restrictions made that almost impossible. “A zoning change would have been a two- to three-year process and probably up to half a million dollars in expenses,” says Mangus, who is also a licensed architect. “And even after all that you still have maybe only a 10 percent chance of approval (to change the zoning). It was too much of a commitment.” Being a former bowling alley, the space on Northeast 82nd was already zoned for “worship, recreation or amusement,” meaning Heiberg and Whitesel could move quickly on transforming the property into a bike park without a zoning change. “When they hired me two years ago, five groups in Portland were looking at doing the same thing,” says Mangus, who adds that the Lumberyard group is also looking at putting in parks in Seattle and/or Vancouver, British Columbia, if its Portland venture is successful. “If we took the time to go through a rezone, that’s time that someone else could have used to get ahead of us.” Heiberg and Whitesel gained immediate credibility when they teamed with Portland developers Robert Sacks and Dave Schrott. The two real estate investors, who bought the bowling alley for $1.2 million and are leasing the property to the Lumberyard, have been behind some of Portland’s most well-known redevelopment projects of the past few years, including the transformation of the Clyde Hotel into the Ace Hotel Portland. “(The developers) aren’t bike guys,” Heiberg says. “Dave rides a bit, but they’re not mountain bike guys. For us to walk in there and sell them on, ‘You should buy this property and lease it back to us and here’s the business we want to run and this is why we think it’s going to work,’ was huge for us.” The Lumberyard development team views Portland as an ideal market for the West Coast’s first indoor bike park. It is a city notorious for its long, wet winters. And while Portland is renowned for its

thriving bike culture, mountain bike trailheads in the area are few and far between. “The Pacific Northwest works real well because of the weather, but the Portlandmetro area works well on top of that because of the challenges in Portland getting on trails,” says Mangus, pointing out the restrictions on biking in Portland’s Forest Park and the lack of a genuine trail system anywhere within 45 minutes of downtown. “A lot of bikers move to Portland thinking they’ll be able to mountain bike all the time, but the only thing you can do in Portland is commute to work. It becomes real frustrating.” While Bend and Central Oregon are home to hundreds upon hundreds of mountain bike enthusiasts, Mangus doubts that the indoor cycle park business model would fly outside of a major city. “The project does not work outside a metro area,” he says. “At that point it’s a weekendonly option and it just won’t pencil. This is designed to be a gym replacement, a type of project that has programming, camps and clinics. Traveling pros coming and doing their clinics, summer and spring break camps. … Those options, those programs need to be in a metro area.” Heiberg, who had the initial dream of building an indoor bicycle park in the Rose City, envisions the Lumberyard as a starting point for a younger generation of cyclists who eventually will be the movers and shakers in Portland’s biking community. “For as progressive as we Portlanders like to think of ourselves, there’s some big pieces missing (in the biking infrastructure),” Heiberg says. “This recreational cycling experience, it’s a major player if you’re going to continue that bike culture. It’s a tough leap if you’re going to adopt the bicycle as part of an active lifestyle if you don’t have roots in cycling. “It’s a total gateway drug (into cycling),” Heiberg jokes about the Lumberyard’s potential. “We want to make sure we’re offering a fun, controlled environment where you can progressively advance.” — Reporter: 541-383-0305, beastes@bendbulletin.com.
