MacArthur Foundation reveals 2010 ‘genius grants’

Prescription for burns

CHICAGO — David Simon, creator of the HBO television series “The Wire,” is among 23 recipients of this year’s MacArthur Foundation “genius grants” — news that left him with what he described as “a Inside vague sense • OSU of guilt.” scientists T h e awarded $500,000 grants, grants were Page A4 announced T u e s d a y • Full list of by the Chi‘genius grant’ cago-based recipients, John D. and Page A4 Catherine T.

The money, paid quarterly over five years, comes with no strings, allowing winners unfettered freedom to pursue their creativity.

Simon’s guilt stemmed from already being amply funded in an industry that’s “a little bit recession-proof,” he said. Still, the award’s prestige will go far with network executives. While critically acclaimed, Simon’s dissection of urban problems in “The Wire” and more recently “Treme” hasn’t yet scored Emmys or high Nielsen ratings.

“It makes it easier to go into the room with the network and argue against doing the usual thing in television,” Simon said.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Their parachutes were rigged. Their weapons were secured. Three days of food and supplies were strapped to their bodies.

In full combat gear, hundreds of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division dropped from the North Carolina sky at 23 feet per second. They hit the ground hard and scrambled to their feet, rifles ready.

It was only an exercise, but for paratroopers just back from Afghanistan and Iraq it was a back-tothe-future moment, part of a new training focus that looks beyond America’s current counterinsurgency wars.

For the first time in years, Army troops are training for “full-spectrum operations” — mounting large strikes against all types of enemies, not just insurgents.

The paratroopers among the scrub oaks at Fort Bragg didn’t role-play at cajoling village elders, helping with bridge or road projects, or training local police and soldiers — their main duties in Afghanistan and Iraq before returning to North Carolina.

Instead, their mission was to seize a simulated overseas airfield and kill or drive off imaginary enemy forces.

NOAA: Extreme weather not over The Washington Post

A tornado watch was issued Tuesday evening for New York City and the U.S. Northeast, letting residents know conditions were right for the fourth tornado to hit New York City this summer.

Two touched down Sept. 16 and one hit the Bronx in July.

It’s been a year of extreme weather, from Snowmageddon in Washington, D.C., to triple-digit heat in Los Angeles and from hurricanes in the Gulf to floods in Wisconsin.

And the extreme weather won’t

stop anytime soon, scientists say.

David Easterling, chief of the Scientific Services Division at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climatic Data Center, said there will be more incidents of extreme weather because the planet is heating up.

What we consider heat waves will become more the norm, Easterling said, and along with heat waves, heavy rainfall and flooding will increase.

Plus, Easterling said, while “hurricanes have always been a problem ... the ones that do occur

will be more powerful.”

The heavy rains and snows can also be attributed to the increased heat because the warmer the air, the more moisture it holds.

“Expect more snow,” Easterling said, but also expect that the length of the snow season will be reduced.

Former president Bill Clinton voiced his concern about climate change at the recent Clinton Global Initiative in New York.

“There is every reason to believe the incidence of economically devastating natural disasters will accelerate around the

world with the changing of the climate,” he said.

Despite these signs of climate change, The Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin reports that “weakened political support for curbing emissions means the United States is unlikely to impose national limits on greenhouse gases before 2013, at the earliest. Several leading GOP candidates this fall are questioning whether these emissions even cause warming, while some key Democratic Senate candidates are disavowing the cap-and-trade bill the House passed in 2009.”

Wind turbines are seen outside Tocca da Casauria, Italy. The town produces 30 percent more energy than it uses. Thanks to power revenue, residents pay no local income taxes or fees for services like trash removal.

The wind at their backs Ancient Italian town’s turbines produce 30% surplus power

By Elisabeth Rosenthal

New York Times News Service

TOCCO DA CASAURIA, Italy — The towering white wind turbines that rise ramrod straight from gnarled ancient olive groves here speak to something extraordinary happening across Italy.

Faced with sky-high electricity rates, small communities across a country known more for garbage than environmental citizenship are finding economic salvation in making renewable energy.

More than 800 Italian communities now make more energy than they use because of the recent addition of renewable energy plants, according to a survey this year by the Italian environmental group Legambiente.

Renewable energy has been such a boon for Tocco that it makes money from electricity production and has no local taxes or fees for services like garbage removal.

A quintessential Italian town of 2,700 people in Italy’s poor mountainous center, with its well-maintained church and ruined castle, Tocco is in most ways stuck in yesteryear. Old men talking politics fill gritty bars, and old women wander through the market. The olive harvest is the most important event on the calendar.

Yet, from an energy perspective, Tocco is very much tomorrow. In addition to the town’s wind turbines, solar panels generate electricity at its ancient cemetery and sports complex, as well as at a growing number of private residences.

“Normally when you think about energy you think about big plants, but here what’s inter-

“Normally when you think about energy you think about big plants, but here what’s interesting is that local municipalities have been very active.

That this can happen in a place like Italy is really impressive.”

— Edoardo Zanchini, Legambiente energy division

esting is that local municipalities have been very active,” said Edoardo Zanchini, in charge of Legambiente’s energy division.

“That this can happen in a place like Italy is really impressive.”

Italy is an unlikely backdrop for a renewable revolution. It has been repeatedly criticized by the European Union for failing to follow the bloc’s environmental directives. It is not on track to meet either its European Unionmandated emissions-reduction target or its commitment to get 17 percent of its total power from renewable sources by 2020, experts say. Currently, only 7 percent of Italy’s power comes from renewable sources.

Other countries But the growth of small renewable projects in towns like Tocco — not only in Italy but also in other countries — highlights the way that shifting energy economics are often more important than national planning in promoting alternative energy.

Tocco was motivated to take action early because Italy had among the highest electricity rates in Europe, and nearly three times the U.S. average, and it could not cope with the wild fluctuations in fossil fuel prices and supply that prevailed during the past decade.

At the same time, the costs of renewable energy have been falling rapidly. And as in much of Europe, the lure of alternative power here was sweetened by feed-in tariffs — government guarantees to buy renewable electricity at an attractive set price from any company, city or household that

produced it.

In the United States, where electricity is cheap and government policy has favored setting minimum standards for the percentage of energy produced from renewable sources rather than direct economic incentives like Europe’s feed-in tariffs, stimulating alternative energy has been only mildly successful. But in countries where energy from fossil fuels is naturally expensive — or rendered so because of a carbon tax — and there is money to be made, renewable energy quickly starts to flow, even in unlikely places like Tocco.

With its four wind turbines (two completed in 2007 and two last year), Tocco is now essentially energy-independent from a financial standpoint, generating 30 percent more electricity than it uses. Production of green electricity earned the town 170,000 euros, or more than $200,000, last year. The town is renovating the school for earthquake protection and has tripled the budget for street cleaners.

cording to the International Energy Agency: Italy has almost no fossil fuels of its own, and until last year, it banned nuclear power plants; new plants will take a decade to build even if strong public opposition can be overcome.

No functioning energy market Although Italy has officially opened the former state electricity monopoly, Enel, to private competition, the country does not yet have a functioning market, the energy agency has found.

Large renewable projects are still rare in Italy compared with other European countries because Italian planning and permitting procedures are so complicated.

The type of renewable energy coming from small towns like Tocco depends on local resources.

In the northern Alpine counties there is a heavy reliance on hydropower and the burning of agricultural waste. Italy’s scorching south tilts a bit more toward solar, although wind, too, is important there because it is by far the most cost-effective renewable technology, the energy agency said.

Report: Wind can power much of East Coast

By Renee Schoof

McClatchy-Tibune News Service

WASHINGTON — The strong winds off the Atlantic Ocean could become a cost-effective way to power much of the East Coast — especially the Carolinas, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia, a study released Tuesday says.

The report by the conservation advocacy group Oceana argues that offshore wind could generate 30 percent more electricity on the East Coast than could be generated by the region’s untapped oil and gas. It predicts that wind from the ocean could be cost-competitive with nuclear power and natural gas to produce electricity.

The study appears just as new developments are starting to push U.S. efforts to catch up with Europe and China on tapping the energy in offshore wind.

Great Britain last week opened the world’s largest wind farm, and China built its first pilot offshore wind farm in 2008, using turbines from the nation’s largest wind turbine producer, Sinovel.

The Department of Energy earlier this month issued a draft plan for creating a U.S. offshore wind energy program.

“Offshore wind energy can help the nation reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, diversify its energy supply, provide cost-competitive electricity to key coastal regions, and stimulate economic revitalization of key sectors of the economy,” the study says.

Embattled plant The nation’s first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind in Massachusetts, has received all its permits, but is embroiled in lawsuits.

Opponents say the wind project could alter the habitat, risking migratory birds, sea mammals and other wildlife. In addition, they say that government subsidies tilt the economics of wind farms to give the appearance that they’re economically feasible.

Oceana opposes offshore drilling and presented its study as a better alternative.

The authors based their costs for offshore wind — 10 to 13 cents per kilowatt hour — on a 2007 study, but it’s also the target price that the Department of Energy has set for the next two decades.

The study concludes that offshore wind could generate 127 gigawatts of power, or 48 percent of the electricity in the top 11 states with the best wind — which it ranks in order as Delaware, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Maryland, Florida, New York and Georgia.

‘Positive contribution’ Kieran McNamara, Italy desk officer for the International Energy Agency, said that although small renewable energy projects were not enough to sustain an entire industrial economy like Italy’s, they were important.

“These small projects have their own intrinsic value and make a very, very positive contribution in countries where electricity prices are high,” McNamara said.

High electricity prices in Italy are a result of various forces, ac-

North Koreans Mayor’s fall doesn’t settle leadership debate bolster power of ruler’s kin

By Clifford J. Levy

New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — President Dmitry Medvedev has long endured questions about whether he truly rules Russia or is merely a figurehead manipulated by Vladimir Putin, the former — and possibly future — president. On Tuesday, Medvedev moved to quiet those doubts by ousting a heavyweight political rival, Moscow’s longtime mayor, who had tried in recent weeks to cast Medvedev as a weakling unfit to

run the Kremlin.

Medvedev’s decision, perhaps the most consequential of his tenure, seemed intended to make clear to Russia’s political class that he was an assertive leader and a viable candidate for president in 2012. His authority has been undermined because Putin has refused to exclude seeking a return to the presidency himself.

But as is often the case in Russia, where top politicians’ intentions are difficult to divine, there is an another view of the fallout

from the removal of the mayor, Yuri Luzhkov. Medvedev is instead described as having been damaged because it took him too long to dismiss Luzhkov, who dominated the Moscow government for nearly two decades.

Some politicians have said they suspected that Medvedev did not act more resolutely because he had to lobby for Putin’s approval, and Putin has a better rapport with Luzhkov.

In other words, in the end, Putin, the current prime minis-

ter, is still the boss.

Putin, who was barred from running for a third consecutive term as president, has not said whether he will be a candidate in 2012. Both he and Medvedev have said they will consult about who will run, while indicating that they will not compete against each other.

Luzhkov did not immediately issue a statement, but he did send a letter to Medvedev on Monday night that surfaced in the Russian media Tuesday.

Jimmy Carter hospitalized after taking ill on flight

By James Barron

New York Times News Service

Former President Jimmy Carter, flying to Cleveland to promote his new book, complained that he felt sick Tuesday morning and was taken to a hospital by ambulance after the plane landed, a spokeswoman for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport said.

Carter “developed an upset stomach” on the flight from Atlanta and was “resting comfortably” at the hospital, according to a statement issued by the Carter Center in Atlanta. The center said later in the day that on his doctor’s advice, he would spend Tuesday night in the hospital “to rest.”

The hospital, MetroHealth Medical Center, said the overnight stay was “purely precautionary.” Carter was “fully alert and participating in all decision-making related to his care,” the hospital said in a statement.

The center said he would resume the tour for “White House Diary,” the annotated journals of his four years in the White House, in Washington on Wednesday. The airport spokeswoman, Jacqueline Mayo, said the Delta Airlines jet carrying the 85year-old former president had radioed the control tower to say that a passenger had fallen ill. She said the pilot did not identify the sick passenger as Carter, who was on his way to an appearance at a Joseph-Beth bookstore in a mall in Lyndhurst, Ohio.

Another airport spokesman, Todd Payne, said that an airport medical team was waiting when the plane landed at 11:18 a.m. They took Carter to MetroHealth.

A spokesman for the White House told Bloomberg News that President Barack Obama spoke to Carter by telephone in the afternoon and that the former president “sounded great” on the call.

Crime scene barrier tape is seen on the University of Texas campus near the scene where a gunman opened fire then killed himself inside a library Tuesday in Austin. The UT clock tower is seen in the background.

A ski-masked student armed with an AK-47 spread terror at the University of Texas in Austin on Tuesday as he fired randomly into the air before running into a library, where he killed himself, investigators said.

No one else was injured in the hours-long drama, and UT officials praised the swift response from a combined force of UT and Austin police.

The Travis County medical examiner identified the gunman as 19-year-old Colton Tooley, a sophomore mathematics major from Austin.

Late Tuesday, authorities still had not determined a motive.

Colton Tooley Tooley lived with his parents in a tranquil middle-class neighborhood in Austin and was described by neighbors and former teachers as an amicable teenager with a standout scholastic record in high school.

The drama immediately brought back memories of August 1966, when Charles Whitman climbed to the observation deck of the UT Tower and began shooting. Fourteen people died, and 31 were wounded. Whitman had also killed his wife and mother the night before.

On Tuesday, the first shots were fired about 7:50 a.m. as the black-clad gunman walked through part of the campus, alternately shooting into the air and at the ground as horrified students and faculty members ran for safety. Some witnesses said the gunman waved and smiled.

UT Police Chief Robert Dahlstrom said that when the gunman saw police officers approaching, he rushed into the Perry-Castaneda Library and made his way to the sixth floor, where he killed himself.

About 100 students were reportedly in the library and immediately responded to shouts from library

TOKYO — Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s supreme leader, took new steps Tuesday to ensure that his family remained in charge after his death, but the biggest leadership shuffling in a generation has so far produced more political intrigue than signs of real change in North Korea, one of the world’s most isolated nations.

Kim elevated his sister and a close friend to a high military ranking and had his youngest son and heir apparent, Kim Jong Un, made a member of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party.

The promotions came a day after the younger Kim was also made a four-star general and seemed aimed at ensuring a dynastic succession that would give Kim Jong Un, thought to be in his late 20s, time to solidify his power.

The elevation of the completely unknown Kim, and hints that other members of the extended Kim clan will exercise power behind the scenes in a kind of Communist regency, add to the uncertainty about North Korea.

Afghan leader names council for peace talks with Taliban

Authorities locked down the sprawling university — nicknamed “the Forty Acres” — until early afternoon as investigators and SWAT officers swarmed the campus searching for a possible second gunman and for explosives.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Repeating his determination to find a peaceful solution to the war, President Hamid Karzai named a 70-member peace council Tuesday, a long-awaited announcement that was the government’s first concrete step to open formal contacts with the Taliban.

The American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. David Petraeus, indicated support for the reconciliation process and said high-level members of the Taliban had already reached out to the government.

Some dismissed Karzai’s council as unworkable, though, given that its membership was dominated largely by anti-Taliban figures.

While a handful of influential people from the former Taliban government have been included, the council is heavily weighted with many of the same factional leaders who have dominated the wars and politics of the past 30 years, and who have been fighting the Taliban for half that time.

Karzai also named at least eight women, a move that signaled the government’s intention to preserve the women’s

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Justices to examine rights of corporations

By Adam Liptak

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Continuing to explore the limits of corporations’ constitutional rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday added cases to its docket that will test the scope of companies’ rights to due process and privacy.

The new cases follow the court’s decision in January in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which ruled that corporations and unions have a First Amendment right to spend money in candidate elections.

In two of the cases, the justices will consider how the state secrets privilege, which can allow the government to shut down litigation by invoking national security, applies in a contract dispute between the Navy and military contractors hired to create a stealth aircraft.

In the third case, the justices agreed to decide whether corpo-

rations have privacy rights for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act. The court’s newest member, Justice Elena Kagan, disqualified herself from four of the new cases, including the one concerning corporate privacy, because she participated in them as U.S. solicitor general before joining the court in August.

Context for secrets debate The state secrets case arises in a surprising context. The court has turned back appeals from people who say they were sent abroad to be tortured but whose lawsuits were dismissed after the government invoked the privilege.

This month, a sharply divided 11-member panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, dismissed a lawsuit against Jeppe-

sen Dataplan, a Boeing subsidiary accused of arranging flights for the Central Intelligence Agency to transfer prisoners to other countries for imprisonment and interrogation, on state secrets grounds.

Heard from Boeing Boeing, as successor to the McDonnell Douglas Corp., is one of the parties to the state secrets cases the court agreed to hear on Tuesday, Boeing Co. v. United States, No. 09-1302, but now it objects to the government’s invocation of the privilege. Its case has been consolidated with the second one, General Dynamics Corp. v. United States, No. 09-1298.

The privacy case, Federal Communications Commission v. AT&T Inc., No. 09-1279, will consider whether a provision of the Freedom of Information Act concerning “personal privacy”

applies to corporations.

AT&T seeks to block the release of documents it provided to the FCC, which conducted an investigation into claims of overcharges by the company in a program to provide equipment and services to schools. The documents were sought under the freedom of information law by a trade association representing some of AT&T’s competitors.

AT&T relied on an exemption to the law for law enforcement records that could “constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Philadelphia, ruled for the company, relying in part on a definition of “person” in the law that included corporations.

The country appears to have mostly abandoned its incipient economic reforms and has declined to enter new international talks about its nuclear weapons program, leaving its neighbors and the United States alarmed about its intentions.

Few analysts claim to fully understand the inner workings of the North Korean military or the Kim dynasty. But many who watch the country closely say they see few signs that succession will produce a stable, credible leadership that is, at least initially, confident enough to engage with the outside world or to steer resources to economic development rather than the military.

Some analysts predict that new leaders may feel compelled to prove their nationalist credentials by engaging in provocative actions that could worsen tensions with South Korea and Japan and their main ally, the United States.

In the most destabilizing situation, an internal power struggle could also lead to the collapse of the government. But many observers discount that possibility, largely because of the support of another neighbor, China.

rights guaranteed in the Constitution. They are unlikely, though, to have any influence with the Taliban.

The peace council will have the authority to develop existing contacts and open direct negotiations with the Taliban and other armed opponents, said the presidential spokesman, Waheed Omer.

Government officials say there has been an increase in contacts with members of the Taliban and signals from them since the government held a large peace gathering in Kabul in June. A Western diplomat confirmed that some people had approached the government claiming to represent Taliban leaders, but said that it was not yet clear if they were genuine.

Former members of the Taliban government, including Maulavi Arsala Rahmani, who was minister of higher education in the Taliban government and is now a senator, say that Taliban leaders know that they cannot win the war and that the time is ripe for negotiation.

Grants

Online community giving immigrant laborers a voice

By Esmeralda Bermudez Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — She approaches men and women unassumingly — on the crosstown bus, outside garment factories, along street corners when the light flashes red.

How’s your day going? She asks in Spanish. How is work? Do you have children?

If they don’t mind, she whips out her Flip Video camera and begins to record.

Two years ago, Maria de Lourdes Gonzalez didn’t own a cellphone.

Now the 62-year-old housekeeper carries a tape recorder and a video camera and regularly snaps photos and sends text messages.

Her interviews end up on her blog on vozmob, a new site launched by the University of Southern California and the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California, which works to organize and educate immigrant communities.

The idea is to give immigrants, mainly day laborers, an online space to speak their minds and share their stories. They are also encouraged to document their work as a form of self-protection.

Mix of grants Organizers rolled out the program last month with a mix of grants from various foundations, including $40,000 worth of cellphones to train laborers. They fanned out to local job centers to teach workers how to upload text, photos and videos. So far about half a dozen laborers have launched their own blogs. Others are experimenting, transferring bits of broken audio and blurry images onto the Web. The contributions to vozmob.net are varied. In one post, a worker named Adolfo features a video clip of day laborers at a Hollywood center singing with an accordion player and guitarist as they

Stiegler Continued from A1 Their responses will be the subject of three articles, starting today with Stiegler. The topics include questions pulled from her voting record and positions taken during her time in the Legislature.

Beer tax In a candidate statement filed with the Oregon secretary of state, Stiegler says she “stopped the proposed beer tax because it would have hurt local breweries,” something she also references in her stump speeches.

The proposal, backed by state Rep. Ben Cannon, D-Portland, would have raised the beer tax from $2.60 per barrel to $52.21 per barrel.

When debate over the bill was at its height in the spring of 2009, Stiegler told The Bulletin she was waiting to see how the final draft of the bill came out before making her decision. Mark Nelson, a lobbyist for Anheuser-Busch, who led the charge against the increase, said at the time that he believed Stiegler was open to a toneddown version of the bill.

“She was never a committed ‘no’ vote, ever,” Nelson said. “She thought some of the proposals were too high but, if it was a lower proposal, she might support it. But she didn’t know what that level was.”

Stiegler said she never met with Nelson, so she’s not sure how he came to that conclusion.

She said her focus was on how the bill would impact local businesses, not national companies.

Local brewers confirm she met with a group of them to talk about the beer tax bill. Stiegler said the meeting pushed her firmly into the “no” camp, though the bill died before going to a full vote.

“I came out of that with the understanding it could potentially impact 400 jobs and a growing, thriving industry here in Central Oregon,” Stiegler said. “I was a consistent, persistent ‘Ben, you ain’t going to get my vote.’ ” Both House Speaker Dave Hunt and Cannon agreed with Stiegler’s characterization of her role.

“She was a consistent and forceful opponent of increasing the tax,” Cannon said. “She made her views known early and often to me and was a real thorn in my side during that debate.”

wait for work. In another, a Long Beach laborer named Ranferi displays a photo of a cream-colored snake he found on the sidewalk and warns others to be cautious. A man named Marcos likes to upload samples of his handiwork: light fixtures he has installed, bathtubs he has tiled and water-thrifty gardens he has planted.

Politics take center stage Politics often takes center stage, with posts featuring photos of immigrants rights marches and short, heated paragraphs blasting Arizona’s new immigration law.

A grandmother of seven, Gonzalez prefers to be called a housekeeper, never a domestic worker “because domestic is for domesticated animals.” She says she likes to hit the streets and record personal stories. When her subjects shy away from the camera — and many do — she records their hands, “the hands that do the work,” she says.

She talks to pupusa vendors, men driving tractors, gardeners and seamstresses, and she films hands dry and calloused, covered with dirt or paint, bruised black beneath the nails.

On one morning bus ride, she spoke to Jacqueline Rivera, an undocumented worker who was about to lose her job. Rivera told Gonzalez she slept in a closet to save money for her children. The housekeeper’s face in a grainy photo shows her lips turned up in a shy smile.

“The idea is to let those voices be heard,” Gonzalez said, “to bring out of us what’s already inside.”

Amanda Garces, who is coordinating the project for the institute, said no one expects most participants to be so active. The hope is that some day laborers at least will become more comfortable with technology.

Measures 66 & 67 Stiegler’s opponents have attacked her support of two legislatively referred ballot measures, which raised taxes on Oregon corporations and higher-income earners.

Oregon voters approved the measures, which were projected to bring in an additional $700 million in revenue in the current biennium.

Voters in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties came out against the measure, prompting criticism that Stiegler had lost touch with her district. Kozak has said Stiegler’s support of the measures is the reason he is running for her seat.

Stiegler has said she would be willing to reconsider her position on the measures but stands by her vote.

“I’ll say what I said at the time, which was that it isn’t perfect legislation,” she said. “I understood what I was doing. I was making a difficult decision between making deeper cuts in education and public safety and programs that I care about — care for seniors, employment-related day care — things that keep people working and keep money coming into our economy.”

She said that, because the state has no sales tax — a tax consistently rejected by Oregon voters — legislators had to look for other ways to bring in revenue.

“We don’t have a lot of flexibility in how we deal with revenue shortfalls because our state is almost solely reliant on property tax and income tax, so we didn’t have a lot of options,” she said.

Stiegler said she and other lawmakers also encouraged negotiations between Gov. Ted Kulongoski and the union that covers most state employees that resulted in unpaid furlough days for state workers.

Stiegler said she was unhappy with a section of Measure 67 that disproportionately impacted lower-profit margin businesses by taxing them on gross receipts.

She also would have liked to see a smaller jump in the minimum corporate tax, which went from $10 to $150.

“But we all knew it was going to be referred to the voters,” she said. “We had the anti-tax people out there banging the drums that they would make sure this was referred to the voters. I figured my job was to be a voice to try to make it as reasonable and rational as possible.”

Stiegler said she was pleased the legislation exempted many

Continued from A1 His next pitch? The history of the CIA since World War II and a housing desegregation fight in Yonkers are two subjects inspiring him now. “Not all these things have the best possible commercial outlook,” he said.

MacArthur winners don’t need to tell anyone how they’ll spend the grant money. There are no reporting requirements.

“We could spend it all on cake,” joked theater director David Cromer, one of this year’s recipients. Cromer, known for staging American classics like “Our Town,” said he wasn’t ready to discuss what he may attempt with the grant’s support. But he has some non-cake ideas.

“It purchases you freedom,” Cromer said. “I can do things now that aren’t necessarily going to generate an income.”

That’s exactly what the foundation has in mind. Bob Gallucci, the foundation’s president, called the grants “an investment in people who have already done extraordinary things.”

There have been 828 MacArthur Fellows, including this year’s winners.

“We’re hoping not only that they’ll do extraordinary things in the future, but that this fellowship will make that somewhat more likely,” Gallucci said.

Jason Moran, a jazz pianist and composer, said he was elated and that the grant would fuel many of the projects that have lain dormant in his mind.

“I have already begun making minor plans on band expeditions to Senegal to study Senegalese drumming, or bringing our music down to perform in rural parts of America, or to simply create new collaborations with artists in other fields, or begin a series of recordings made on the old format of Edison wax cylinders,” he said. “It’s all in play now.”

None of the winners is from New Orleans, but the Big Easy exerts a strong pull on the 2010 grantees. Simon’s newest HBO series “Treme” is about residents of post-Katrina New Orleans. Cromer recently revived

small businesses from the minimum corporate tax increase.

OSU-Cascades/COCC In both her candidate statement and on the campaign trail, Stiegler takes credit for keeping the Oregon State University-Cascades Campus open.

The school was on a “cut list” issued last year listing branch campuses around the state targeted for closure.

“When I got wind of that, I sounded the alarm,” Stiegler said at a recent town hall meeting in Bend. “I knew that I could do things in the Legislature, and I knew I needed to get that done.”

In a meeting with The Bulletin’s editorial board, Conger questioned the extent of Stiegler’s role in saving OSUCascades. But lawmakers in Salem and university officials have universally credited her with getting the branch campus off the cut list.

They say she doggedly lobbied members of the Legislature’s Joint Ways and Means Committee, including Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, the top budget-writer in the House.

Stiegler also credits the hundreds of people who showed up to an April 2009 meeting of the committee in Bend, many of whom appealed to lawmakers to keep the campus open.

In addition to saving OSU-Cascades, Stiegler says she secured about $2.8 million in additional funding for Central Oregon Community College.

As a member of a ways and means subcommittee on education, Stiegler was one of a group of lawmakers who recommended the minimum level of funding for community colleges.

“The dollar allotment that came in was woefully short of what community colleges need to be able to support the increased student numbers,” she said.

The group advocated for a $30 million dollar increase, bringing the total funding level up to about $450 million. The additional money for COCC came out of that increase, Stiegler said.

$2 billion in cuts Stiegler includes in her talking points that she voted to “cut government spending by $2 billion.”

The cuts were all over the board, Stiegler said, including votes in 2009 and 2010 that cut the general fund budget by 9 percent each time.

Stiegler acknowledges that

2010 MacArthur Fellows

OSU scientist awarded ‘genius grant’ PORTLAND — An Oregon State University scientist has received a prestigious grant in recognition of her career contributions.

A $500,000 MacArthur Foundation fellowship was awarded to Kelly Benoit-Bird, a 34-year-old marine biologist who uses sophisticated acous-

“(A MacArthur Foundation grant) purchases you freedom. I can do things now that aren’t necessarily going to generate an income.”

— David Cromer, theater director Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire,” set in New Orleans, to great praise.

And Shannon Lee Dawdy, an anthropologist and archaeologist from the University of Chicago, has studied New Orleans since 1994. After Hurricane Katrina, she worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state of Louisiana to make sure recovery efforts respected the city’s archaeological heritage.

She regrets she hasn’t been able to save Holt Cemetery, a potter’s field where homemade plot markers were washed away by the post-Katrina flooding.

“I would like to work with the local community to preserve living traditions and the site itself,” Dawdy said, and the MacArthur grant may help. “It might mean that I’m able take things I’ve long wished to do, things in the ‘wouldn’t it be nice?’ category, and make that actually happen magically.”

Receiving word of the MacArthur was “like receiving a phone call from the Greek gods,” Dawdy said, because “someone you can’t see is pulling the strings of your fate.”

Winners have no idea they’ve

hers was just one vote among lawmakers from both sides of the aisle who supported the cuts. The cuts were made from a projected budget that had been adjusted upward for inflation to maintain current service levels.

Stiegler also voted last year, along with the majority of her party, to tax and fee hikes totaling more than $1 billion to help close a projected hole in the general fund of about $4 billion.

When asked for specific cuts she voted for, Stiegler cited a “disappropriation bill” that reduced the legislative assembly’s budget by $4.3 million.

“We understood and recognized right out of the chute that we were going to feel some pain too, so we cut the legislative portion of the budget.”

Stiegler said legislators also cut back the total education budget to 2007 levels.

Though the general fund budget came down, the state’s budget overall increased because of an influx in federal stimulus funding, Stiegler said. Getting those dollars meant shifting some money around in order to qualify for matching federal funds.

“We had to be cautious about not taking something out of the budget that could have gotten us dollars,” she said. “It wasn’t like we had to budget additional dollars but there were places to budget dollars that were more strategic so that we could leverage that federal money.”

‘Portland Liberals’ In her stump speeches and campaign commercials, Stiegler says she’s fought “Salem politicians” and “Portland liberals” to protect Bend’s interests.

Though her voting record shows she sides with her fellow Democrats 97 percent of the time, Stiegler says she fought them on some key issues affecting Central Oregon.

She points to keeping OSUCascades open and her opposition of the beer tax as examples.

Stiegler also opposed her peers on a bill proposed in the regular session to limit where in Oregon destination resorts could be built.

“The way it was constructed, it was apparent to me that (the bill) was very focused on Central Oregon and Deschutes County, sort of a sock in the eye,” she said.

“I saw it, in some respects, as Portland legislators saying ‘You haven’t handled it well and so we’re going to take care of it.’ ” Stiegler did vote for a bill blocking destination resorts in

been nominated. Nominators are pledged to secrecy.

There’s “nothing more fun” than informing the winners, Gallucci said. He broke the news to four grantees this year, he said, first making sure they weren’t driving or holding a baby.

Subterfuge can be involved in the notification.

MacArthur winner Amir AboShaeer, a public high school physics teacher in California, said he was expecting a call from a college student named Liz Brooks who was interested in his work when the foundation called to tell him about the grant.

There was no Liz Brooks. She was a creation of the foundation to get the busy teacher on the phone. “I am prepared to lie like a rug,” admitted Gallucci, who notified Abo-Shaeer of the grant.

Abo-Shaeer, who left a job in industry to become a teacher, wants to train other educators about his innovative curriculum and the importance of recruiting and inspiring female students.

“Right now I teach full time. I can relieve my schedule to be a teacher trainer. If I have an idea that’s exciting or interesting, I can try it,” he said.

The MacArthurs have been nicknamed “genius grants,” which can be problematic for winners.

Simon, the HBO producer, said his wife would like to thank the foundation for “five years of fresh material.” The morning after she heard the news, Simon’s wife, best-selling novelist Laura Lippman, told him, “Hey Genius, you forgot to take the trash out last night.”

the Metolius River Basin Area.

In another pushback against her Portland colleagues, Stiegler said she voted against funding for a new soccer stadium in the Rose City.

“I vote for what I think is good for Oregon and what is good for Bend and Central Oregon,” she said.

Tax and fee hikes In nearly all of his campaign speeches, Conger talks about Stiegler’s votes on tax and fee hikes. Based on information from the Oregon Legislative Fiscal Office, Conger says the incumbent voted for 38 of 39 tax and fee hikes during her term.

Stiegler says she actually voted for 38 of 40.

“Close to half of those bills were generated by a governor’s request on behalf of a government agency,” she said.

In other words, a state agency approached the governor asking for a fee increase and he, in turn, asked the Legislature, Stiegler said.

Stiegler was not able to provide specifics on each vote by the time of publication.

But she said some taxes and fees were necessary to preserve programs she didn’t want to cut.

She cited a $10 excise tax on video lottery games to benefit the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps as one example.

Stiegler also supported a hospital tax to fund health insurance for poor children and a gas tax hike for new roads, according to her voting record.

Burley’s voting record showed he missed 21 percent of more than 1,300 votes taken in the 2007 legislative session.

Stiegler promised voters she would show up to vote and a review of her record shows she missed 1.85 percent of the roughly 1,200 votes in the 2009 session.

Stiegler said she missed 24 votes total. Of those, 12 were excused because she was engaged in state business and another 12 were excused in advance of a personal trip.

Looking forward With a projected $3 billion budget hole in the next biennium, Stiegler said she understands legislators will be making additional cuts in the future.

But when asked what will be on the chopping block, Stiegler said she isn’t sure exactly what those cuts will be.

“I think it’s not very judicious of me to get down in the weeds at this stage of the game,” she said.

“But I will say there are certain principals I hold sacrosanct. We need to preserve education, public safety and our vulnerable citizens, and we are not going to do it on the backs of hardworking Oregon families.”

Backyard the new political venue for White House Persian Gulf states win U.S. arms without full record of effect

ALBUQUERQUE — President Obama was raised in a condominium apartment, and later he lived as an urban apartment dweller. Perhaps that helps explain his new favorite hangout: other people’s backyards.

On a whirlwind trip across this country this week, Obama is venturing into the yards of “real people” to push out several messages on the economy. His backyard visits over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday were each to feature a specific topic: education in Albuquerque; fighting for the middle class in Des Moines; tax cuts and deficits in Richmond.

The common theme at all the stops will be Republicans — specifically, how dangerous their return to power would be for the economic health of the nation, administration officials said. Obama will tee off on the recently unveiled GOP “Pledge to America” and discuss “why he thinks the direction the Republicans are pushing to go would be irresponsible, would

“This has proven an effective way to continue the conversation he’s been having with the American people since he began running for president, And where better to do it than right in America’s backyards.”

— Bill Burton, deputy press secretary

be a mistake,” White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said Another big difference between the parties, White House officials hope, will be the increasingly populist message of the president — in contrast with a Republican message that they say should remind people of the previous decade, when big businesses flourished.

This is where the backyard backdrop comes in.

It is the rare venue that allows Obama to take off his suit jacket and sit face-to-face with regular voters — without looking explicitly like he is at a campaign event (as similar town hall meetings often do). On his four-state

tour this week, only one stop — a campus rally in Madison — is officially political. The rest are designed as presidential stops and are not expected to include overt stumping for candidates.

The backyard setting also puts a name and face on the policies at hand — a time-honored presidential ritual, reminiscent of the individuals President Ronald Reagan first installed in the presidential box during the State of the Union address, or the “tax families” President George W. Bush invoked a decade ago as he sold the tax cuts now about to expire.

For Obama, though, there is an additional selling point to the backyard events: he simply likes

them. He “likes getting out of the White House,” one adviser said wryly, noting that “likes” was an understatement. And the gatherings are reminiscent of events Obama did in kitchens and, occasionally, in backyards during the 2008 campaign, a vibe he is trying to recapture with just five weeks until the midterm elections.

“This has proven an effective way to continue the conversation he’s been having with the American people since he began running for president,” said deputy press secretary Bill Burton as he traveled with Obama to New Mexico on Monday. “And where better to do it than right in America’s backyards.”

The backyard parties have been overwhelmingly friendly toward Obama, even if the settings have not always looked as relaxed as intended, with large clusters of guests in suits (not to mention camera crews in tow). Still, White House officials said, they consider it as authentic a setting as any. “It’s not a screened crowd. It’s not a handpicked crowd,” Pfeiffer said.

Training Continued from A1 Drained by grueling heartsand-minds efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military is refocusing on fighting and killing the enemy, not nation-building.

Writing recently in Foreign Affairs magazine, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, “The United States is unlikely to repeat a mission on the scale of those in Afghanistan or Iraq anytime soon — that is, forced regime change followed by nation building under fire.” Instead, U.S. forces will probably be called on to help other countries’ armies defend themselves, particularly against terrorist attacks but also against conventional armies.

Lawrence Korb, a former assistant secretary of Defense who closely follows military planning, said flatly: “We aren’t going to be doing counterinsurgency again. ... We’re not that good at it.”

Many units’ major combat skills are rusty because of the counterinsurgency focus, Korb said.

Many of the paratroopers who leaped out of C-130 cargo planes at Fort Bragg have served a number of tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, “we’re focusing on the basics again — full-spectrum operations,” said Lt. Col. Christopher LaNeve, the division’s operations officer, as paratroopers lugged their gear and parachutes to board aircraft.

LaNeve said the “operational tempo” — military speak for the relentless demand for counterinsurgency troops in Afghanistan and Iraq — has not allowed time for more traditional training.

But for the first time since 2001, the entire 82nd Airborne, 22,000 soldiers strong, is back at Fort Bragg for an extended period.

“We’re not going backwards, but we are looking to the past to help us go back to what we do

Wolves

best — close with and destroy the enemy,” said Maj. Jason Brown of the division’s 3rd Brigade, which took part in the exercise.

The Army’s “full-spectrum operations” doctrine was published in 2008, but most troops are only now beginning to train for it as U.S. troop levels diminish in Iraq. Even if a unit is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan or Iraq, “they will be trained to fight and win in a full-spectrum operations environment,” said Col. Peter Utley, director of training for the Army’s operations staff.

Counterinsurgency, which used to be the focus, is now just one of many training scenarios.

“You have to be able to deal with any challenge presented to you,” Utley said.

When the brigade heads to the Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft. Polk, La., next month, the make-believe enemy force will not be Afghan or Iraqi insurgents but soldiers from a fictitious country called Cortina.

Scenarios will involve largescale combat.

If a world crisis erupts affecting national security, the first U.S. unit ordered into action would almost certainly be the 82nd Airborne. The division is the nation’s designated “global response force” — what paratroopers call “the president’s 911 call.” One brigade is designated to be first on call — at the moment, the 3rd Brigade.

The paratroopers could be ordered to support special operations forces attempting to rescue civilians held by terrorists, or to assist an ally’s troops in a military crisis. They also could be sent to assist civilians in a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis.

They could face a showdown with a conventional army as well, Korb said. For instance, the Obama administration has said that military action against Iran is an option if that country continues to develop nuclear

weapons.

North Korea, another country at odds with the United States over nuclear weapons, could use its huge standing army to invade South Korea, where about 28,000 U.S. troops would need immediate help. And the always-volatile Middle East could erupt into crisis at any time.

If called upon, the 82nd Airborne paratroopers could be required to ship out within as little as 18 hours.

The nine-day exercise on Fort Bragg’s Sicily Drop Zone this month involved more than 2,000 paratroopers and airmen. Huge Air Force cargo planes dropped not only paratroopers, but also heavy vehicles and artillery pieces. It was the type of largescale mission rarely attempted in Afghanistan or Iraq.

“This is about as hard as it gets,” LaNeve said as his paratroopers boarded their planes.

“If you can get this right, you can do anything.”

“There’s pretty strong evidence that we’ve had wolves moving through the area periodically.

I think there’s some chance that there’s individuals staying in the area. We don’t have any evidence to suggest there’s a pack.”

At Thursday’s meeting, the commission will also discuss sage grouse habitat, and what kind of development buffers the agency should recommend to protect the birds. Staffers have been gathering information from different groups about the balance between preserving habitat and allowing construction of facilities such as wind farms, and will present what they have heard, said Rick Hargrave, spokesman with the agency.

The commissioners will also decide whether hunters should be required to wear orange hats or clothing for safety, Hargrave said.

Oregon is one of 10 states that doesn’t have “hunter orange” requirements, he said. The commission will decide whether to keep it that way, require hunters younger than 18 to wear two orange items, or require all hunters to wear either an orange vest or hat.

The agency has already received a lot of comments about the issue, he said, and will take additional public comments on that issue and the other agenda items at the Thursday meeting.

Services followed tracks near Hampton Butte for 20 miles.

“You don’t see many domestic dogs covering 20 miles overnight,” Stephenson said. “So we feel like that was a pretty strong sighting.”

People have been reporting wolf sightings in Central Oregon for decades, said Corey Heath, wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife — even before wild wolves returned to the state. Those sightings were probably of pet wolves or wolf hybrids, which either escaped or were let go, he said.

Now, however, wolves introduced into Idaho have migrated to Oregon, with two packs confirmed in the northeastern part of the state. And that makes it more likely that gray wolves would keep heading west toward Central Oregon, Heath said.

“There may be a few individuals pioneering around now,” he said.

But biologists need to do DNA tests to confirm that wild wolves are in the area, he said — and they haven’t found any carcasses,

or trapped animals to do that yet.

In Northeastern Oregon, where wolves have been radio-collared and tracked, the question for wildlife officials is now how to help prevent wolves from killing livestock.

At the Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting, commissioners will consider adopting changes to the state’s wolf management plan — taking into consideration the handful of calves killed by wolves this spring, said Russ Morgan, wolf coordinator with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“We’ve learned quite a lot in the last six months from the depredations in Oregon, and so really it’s about applying what we’ve learned,” he said.

The proposed changes to the plan are pretty small, he said, and include things like issuing permits to harass wolves to the person who is operating the ranch, rather than the landowner.

Other possible changes include requiring state Fish and Wildlife biologists to confirm that a wolf killed livestock, instead of allowing people with the federal Wild-

Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — The United States authorized as much as $37 billion of arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations over five years without always documenting the potential effect on foreign policy and national security, government investigators found.

The departments of Defense and State cleared the transfers of fighter planes, helicopters and missiles from fiscal 2005 through 2009 even as the six receiving countries rejected U.S. appeals to coordinate more as a group, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

“As arms transfer authorizations increase to this part of the world, the U.S. government needs to ensure that it reviews requests” for their impact on foreign policy and national security, the GAO concluded in a report obtained

by Bloomberg News. “The partial absence of documentation of agencies’ reviews, however, raises concerns that U.S. priorities are not consistently considered before such sales are authorized.”

The report exposes gaps in the way the U.S. tracks and evaluates sales to the region as the Obama administration prepares to notify Congress of another planned package for Saudi Arabia that may total as much as $60 billion. The U.S. is seeking to improve regional security against Iran and terror groups such as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula with sales including missile-defense systems.

Among the considerations required by federal law for arms transfers to the region are the capacity of the U.S. defense industry, the U.S. pledge to maintain Israel’s military edge in the region, protection of human rights and safeguarding of sensitive technologies.

‘Concerns remain’ The GAO conducted the analysis at the request of three Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, led by ranking member Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida. They asked for the review in October 2008 during the waning days of President George W. Bush’s administration, and the report was delivered to lawmakers this month.

“Concerns remain regarding the integration of these programs with broad U.S. policy objectives in the region,” the lawmakers said in their 2008 request for the report.

They also expressed concern over “implementation in some recipient countries,” without giving details.

Investigators sought to calculate total arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. The GAO also examined a sample of 28 cases

“As arms transfer authorizations increase to this part of (the Middle East), the U.S. government needs to ensure that it reviews requests (for their impact on foreign policy and national security).”

— Government Accountability Office report of arms transfers handled by the State Department or the Pentagon for how the prospective sales were evaluated.

The Defense Department authorized about $22 billion of transfers under the Foreign Military Sales program to the six Gulf countries, the GAO found. Saudi Arabia and the UAE accounted for more than 88 percent of the total value.

Value undetermined The GAO couldn’t accurately determine the value of transfers under the State Department’s Direct Commercial Sales program because some figures were duplicated and at least $6 billion of $21 billion in authorized transfers were for U.S. military units.

The countries mainly used their own money to buy the weapons, according to the GAO. That included the UAE’s purchase of a Patriot missile defense system and Oman’s acquisition of antitank missiles.

Officials didn’t always evaluate the potential foreign policy or national security implications, or failed to document the assessments, the GAO determined.

The State Department didn’t have a record of its evaluations of arms transfer requests against a set of criteria such as protecting human rights and safeguarding sensitive technologies, the GAO reported.

The State Department, in a written response accompanying the GAO report, agreed its process could be improved, while disagreeing that the gaps posed any risk, saying appropriate evaluations are conducted. The Defense Department agreed to do a better job of documenting reviews.

The investigators said State Department and defense officials cited evidence of cooperation by the Gulf countries with steps such as bases for U.S. troops and support for operations in Afghanistan or for neighbors such as Iraq and Yemen.

Bahrain provides basing for the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, and Qatar plays host to the Tampa-based U.S. Central Command’s field headquarters.

Continued from A1 “There’s pretty strong evidence that we’ve had wolves moving through the area periodically,” said John Stephenson, Oregon’s wolf coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “I think there’s some chance that there’s individuals staying in the area.

We don’t have any evidence to suggest there’s a pack.”

Wolf management in Oregon will be one of the topics at the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting Thursday in Bend.

Stephenson said he gets a couple of reports of wolf sightings a month, and some are more likely to be actual wolves than others.

Wild wolves would not typically live in an area like Phil’s Trail, close to a highly populated area, Stephenson said. But a little over a month ago he received a report from people who spotted what they thought was a wolf along the Cascade Lakes Highway, near Widgi Creek Golf Club.

“Maybe something’s running around,” he said. “I’d be surprised if there are wild wolves hanging around close to town, but it seems like something.”

Last winter brought a couple good clues pointing to wolf presence in the area, he said. In midDecember, biologists tracked what looked like wolf prints south of Wickiup Reservoir. And then someone with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Bend lands meeting of Trout Unlimited Trout Unlimited, a national conservation organization dedicated to conserving, protecting and restoring North America’s cold-water fisheries and watersheds, announced Tuesday that it has awarded its 2011 annual meeting to Bend. The meeting will be held Sept. 14-17.

“Visit Bend and our entire conservation community is honored and thrilled to be hosting Trout Unlimited and their members for a week of meetings, fishing and conservation work,” said Kevney Dugan, sports development manager for Visit Bend, the city’s tourism-promotion agency. “This is a great opportunity to introduce Bend to new visitors from across the country and share with them the exciting conservation work and natural beauty that make Central Oregon so special.”

The meeting is expected to attract 350 to 650 attendees from across the country, according to Doug La Placa, Visit Bend’s president and CEO. That’s not as large as some sporting events, “but from a conference or convention standpoint, this would be one of the larger (ones) that we’ve landed,” he said. With two national bicycle races also scheduled next September, it “should be a lucrative month for Bend tourism.”

Visit Bend will work with Trout Unlimited over the coming months to identify meeting spaces, host hotels and locations for other meeting activities.

WASHINGTON — Don’t take the latest snapshot of U.S. home prices too seriously.

The Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city index released Tuesday ticked up in July from June. But the gain is merely temporary, analysts say. They see home values taking a dive in many major markets well into next year.

That’s because the peak homebuying season is now ending after a dismal summer. The hardest-hit markets, already battered by foreclosures, are bracing for a bigger wave of homes sold at foreclosure or through short sales. A short sale is when a lender lets a homeowner sell for less than the mortgage is worth.

Add high unemployment and reluctant buyers, and the outlook in many areas is bleak. Nationally, home values are projected to fall 2.2 percent in the second half of the year, according to analysts

A

nonprofit restaurant that intends to provide free meals to low-income and homeless individuals is opening Thurs-

day in downtown Bend. People who can afford to pay, will.

Known as Common Table, the restaurant is fashioned to be more like a mellow pub rather than the white-tablecloth, fine-dining establishment Cork that formerly occupied the space on Oregon Avenue. Its mantra is to be an eatery for everyone — a goal it aims to achieve, in part, by providing $10 vouchers to underprivileged diners.

“It’s a place where we hope people will gather,” said Zach Hancock, who acts as general manager and said his title is “director of community” for Common Table. “Everyone comes to the table regardless of pedigree.”

surveyed by MacroMarkets LLC. And Moody’s Analytics predicts the Case-Shiller index will drop 8 percent within a year.

Among the areas likely to endure big price drops, according to Veros, a real estate analysis company: • Port St. Lucie, Fla., and Reno, Nev., where prices could fall 7 percent over the next year.

• Orlando and Daytona Beach, Fla., which face price drops of at least 6 percent.

• Las Vegas, which led all declines in the latest report, is also expected to post a 6 percent drop.

Home values there have already tumbled 57 percent from their peak four years ago.

Las Vegas has been hit by foreclosures and the loss of tourism and construction jobs. More than 70 percent of homeowners there owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, according to real estate data firm CoreLogic.

Matthew Mulder, who ran Bluefish Bistro before it was sold to another restaurant operator and closed, is the head chef. He’ll focus on local and organic foods. Common Table’s menu may include quiches, soups, sandwiches and drinks like sangria and local beers.

The restaurant’s founders said it will not be a soup kitchen, but instead will serve regular meals like any other.

Additionally, the $10 vouchers — paid for with the restaurant’s profits or by patrons who want to buy them for those in need — will provide meals for people who otherwise couldn’t afford them.

Barnes & Noble wins battle over board The bookseller Barnes & Noble, after fending off a challenge to its chairman, can now focus on a turnaround and a sale.

The company still has a large number of shareholders who question its strategy, but it won some breathing space Tuesday after shareholders backed its three candidates for the board, including its chairman, Leonard Riggio, over a slate led by the investor Ronald Burkle.

A preliminary tally showed that about 44 percent of the shares voted for the Barnes & Noble slate, while 38 percent voted for the candidates named by Burkle’s investment firm, the Yucaipa Cos. Shareholders also rejected a proposal by Yucaipa to remove a poison-pill plan aimed at limiting Burkle’s holdings to under 20 percent.

The results came after months of bitter public fighting between the two sides, punctuated by sharply worded accusations of greed and incompetence.

Segway Inc. may face fresh challenges trying to broaden the appeal of its transporter after the company’s owner died driving the vehicle off a cliff.

Jimi Heselden, the British millionaire who owned the company, accidentally drove a Segway off a precipice and into a river, according to police in West Yorkshire, England, where he had his estate. He was pronounced dead at the

scene, and the two-wheeled vehicle was recovered from the water.

The Segway, hailed as a revolutionary invention when it debuted nine years ago, has struggled to expand beyond its status as a niche product.

Though some law enforcement and sightseeing groups have embraced the vehicle, a $6,000-plus price tag has prevented it from catching on with consumers.

Rising poverty rates and food stamp use in Oregon and nationwide reflect the recession’s toll, according to the 2009 American Community Survey released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The survey compared data from 2008 to 2009 covering 40 topics, including changes in median household incomes, poverty rates, use of food stamps, number of children living in poverty, hours worked per week and other areas to chronicle the nation’s socioeconomic, housing and demographic characteristics, according to the Census Bureau.

Findings include a 2.9 percent drop in median household income nationwide from $51,726 to $50,221 from 2008 to 2009.

In Oregon — one of 34 states where median household incomes dropped — the survey showed a decline of 2.5 percent, from $49,714 to $48,457. By comparison, Washington state’s median household income fell 1.7 percent, from $57,536 to $56,548. Idaho’s toppled 4.9 percent, from $47,248 to $44,926 during the same period.

Oregon is one of 12 states where the poverty rate topped 16 percent in 2009, compared with 14.3 percent living below the poverty line nationwide.

Mineral shipment ban called a threat to Japan

By Hiroko Tabuchi

New York Times News Service

TOKYO — A halt of Chinese shipments of crucial industrial minerals to Japan poses a threat to the Japanese economy, a top Tokyo government official said Tuesday, amid a dispute over territorial sovereignty that has damaged relations between the regional rivals.

The Chinese commerce ministry has denied that it is blocking exports of the minerals, known as rare earths, that are used in products like hybrid cars and wind turbines.

An official at a trading house in Japan said early today, however, that there were signs that Chinese authorities were issuing new export licenses for rare earth shipments to Japan, which he said had been terminated since early last week.

Segway Continued from B1 Product recalls and restrictions by cities such as New York also have hampered the Segway’s sales.

While the accident may have had nothing to do with the Segway’s design, the company could use it to highlight safety precautions, said Glenn Bunting, managing director of public- relations firm Sitrick and Co. “They have to use it as teachable moment for their customers,” said Bunting, whose firm specializes in crisis management.

“What we would recommend is: Thoroughly investigate how this tragedy occurred, and from it, not only do you learn, but use it for an opportunity to enhance safety measures.”

The San Francisco-based Electric Tour Co., which has a fleet of 48 Segways, requires all riders to wear bright-green vests and helmets, said owner Brian Huber.

The nearly 6-year- old business also spends as much as 45 minutes on safety training. Since the city doesn’t allow Segways on sidewalks, the company takes extra precautions, Huber said.

“We don’t let anyone leave our

Harry Continued from B1 The new chief executive — who is running Harry & David from an office near his home in Atlanta, more than 2,000 miles away — cleaned out the rest of the executive suite soon after taking over in February.

Within a few months, new faces occupied nearly all of the company’s 20 top positions. More lowerlevel workers were let go in April, and management has been farming out to contractors some work that had been done in-house.

Among the remaining staff, the mood is described as one of gloom and apprehension.

“You walk around and you see that people have taken down their family pictures in their cubicles,” said a headquarters employee, who, like other staffers, did not want to be identified for fear of being fired. “Tomorrow, if security comes to get them, they don’t want to have to pack up.”

’Financing became an issue’ The company’s circumstances can be explained in part by the country’s economic downturn, which has sharply depressed demand for most upscale goods.

Harry & David’s sales have plunged 25 percent from their peak before the recession.

But that pain has been compounded by debt that has made it harder for the company to make a profit. The investors who acquired Harry & David in 2004 first loaded it up with debt to finance the deal. Then they piled on more debt a few months later to pay themselves back all the cash they put up to buy the company.

“This is a classic case of a leveraged buyout,” said Raj Parikh, dean of the business school at Southern Oregon University in nearby Ashland. “They hoped to increase the earnings through a combo of slashing expenses and then paying off the debt.”

Ellis Jones, chief executive of New York private equity firm Wasserstein & Co., which led the buyout, acknowledged that the interest payments that Harry & David now must make are a drag on the company. But he said the borrowing appeared prudent at the time.

“Based on the company’s performance, the leverage we put on

facility unless we think they’re a competent rider,” he said in an interview. “Something like this we will use as another reminder to stay away from treacherous objects.”

’A tragic accident’ Heselden crashed into the River Wharfe in West Yorkshire while riding around his estate on Sunday, said Neil Wardley, a police spokesman. The accident isn’t believed to be suspicious, Wardley said Monday.

The 62-year-old, who made his fortune from the Leeds, Englandbased Hesco Bastion Ltd., bought the Segway business this year.

He had an estimated personal fortune of $263.2 million, according to the latest Sunday Times Rich List.

“Our family has been left devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of a much loved father and husband,” Heselden’s family said in an e-mail. “There is absolutely nothing to suggest it was anything other than a tragic accident.”

Segway, based in Bedford, N.H., didn’t immediately return requests for comment after business hours. Dean Kamen, who invented the Segway, is traveling internationally and couldn’t be

reached, said Dennis Garrigan, a spokesman for Kamen’s nonprofit organization. He no longer works at Segway.

The death marks a low point for a product that was greeted with hype initially, followed by tepid demand and later marred by recalls. The Segway, a twowheeled, self-balancing transportation device, allows riders to remain upright and steer with body movements.

The invention gained attention even before it was unveiled in December 2001, spurred by leaked quotes from a book proposal that ran on the Inside.com news site.

It quoted Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs saying people would design cities around the invention and venture capitalist John Doerr comparing its significance to the World Wide Web.

Setbacks and successes Prices of between $5,000 and $10,000 limited the appeal, and cities such as New York restricted where people could drive their Segways. In 2003, President George W. Bush was photographed leaping from one of the vehicles after losing control of it in Maine. In the same year, the company recalled all 6,000 of its

a group of prominent corporate leaders. “It’s something that we took a great amount of pride in — we had this economic engine that paid well and that played well with the community. It’s not that anymore.”

Rank-and-file employees who still have their jobs have felt pain in the form of benefit cutbacks that began even before sales tumbled. The company froze its traditional pension plan, then suspended contributions to its 401(k) plan. Most yearly raises also have come to an end, according to employees.

The hiring this year of executives from the outside prompted a surge in workplace gossip after the staff searched the Internet for information on their new bosses.

The new CEO, Steve Heyer, lost his most recent high-profile job as chief executive at Starwood Hotels after facing allegations that he had sent inappropriate sexual e-mails to underlings.

Ross Klein, whom Heyer brought in to run Harry & David’s new branding effort, left a job at Hilton Hotels in 2008 after he was accused of corporate espionage, an allegation that is a subject of a federal criminal investigation.

Klein is working out of an office near his home in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Heyer and Klein have denied any wrongdoing.

Jones of Wasserstein praised both men.

“The only thing I will say in connection with either of them is that these are first-rate executives, and they are both extraordinarily talented, and we’re very proud and happy to have them working for us,” he said.

Bad news for Medford

A source of tension

The combination of plunging sales and heavy debt has not only ravaged Harry & David’s work force, but it also has caused business leaders in the Medford area, where the company is the largest private employer, to worry about the local economy.

“For the average person that landed in Medford 20 years ago, they saw Camelot,” a promised land of good jobs and beautiful scenery in the mountainous southwest corner of the state, said Bill Thorndike, owner of a local manufacturing firm who is on the boards of the charitable Oregon Community Foundation and the Oregon Business Council,

The new executives, he added, are positioning the company for the future by creating partnerships with other retailers and by revamping its website and tweaking some recipes.

“Our objective is to have this be a leading consumer product specialty food company and a real pride of the Northwest,” Jones said.

Another new top executive, Drew Reifenberger, is responsible for customer relations. Like Heyer, he is working out of an office in Atlanta.

The hirings have an added sting for employees because of the compensation the newcomers

Not so sweet Harry & David, the Oregonbased gourmet food and gift company, has seen its interest expense eat into its net income, leading it to cut employees and expenses to offset the loss.

transporters after a safety report found operators risk falling as batteries ran out.

In September 2006, the company voluntarily recalled 23,500 of its scooters because they could suddenly reverse, causing the rider to fall. The wheels could unexpectedly switch direction when the rider leaned the transporter back to slow down, get off and get on again in a short period of time.

More than 500 organizations worldwide now use the transporters for policing and security, according to the company. Consumers make up 60 percent of sales, with 350 retail outlets in 80 countries. Forty-four states allow Segways to operate in the same spaces as walkers and bikers, according to the company.

Huber, at Electric Tour Co. in San Francisco, said Segway crashes are rarer than bicycle accidents. When they do happen, they typically result in the same kind of scrapes and bumps that bike riders get, he said. Still, the transporters can instill an inflated sense of confidence, Huber said.

“People think Segways are like hovercrafts, that if you bang them into a curb you’re not going to fall,” he said. “They’re not magic.”

are getting. Heyer is making $9.7 million this year; his predecessor earned $1.4 million last year.

Employees also are miffed that Heyer decided not to move to Oregon from Atlanta. Instead, the company is paying for an office for him in Georgia and firstclass flights for his visits to Medford, a town of 77,000 between the Cascades and the Siskiyou Mountains.

Housing Continued from B1 And the city’s unemployment rate is nearly 15 percent, one of the highest for major U.S. markets.

The outlook in Orlando is also grim. More than half of borrowers owe more on their mortgages than their properties are worth. The unemployment rate there is nearly 12 percent.

This year, about 2 million, or 41 percent, of the 5 million homes sold this year will be distressed sales, predict analysts at John Burns Real Estate Consulting in Irvine, Calif. Distressed sales include foreclosures and short sales.

For next year, that figure is on pace to hit 2.4 million homes, or 45 percent of all sales. Distressed sales are projected to make up at least a quarter of the market for the next four years. In healthy housing markets, distressed sales typically make up only 6 to 7 percent of annual sales.

A much brighter outlook is forecast for some areas of the country, especially major cities that never experienced an outsized housing boom — and bust. Major cities in Texas, for example, have relatively healthy economies and low levels of foreclosures.

Dallas home prices fell only 11 percent from their peak in 2007 and bottomed out last year. They have since rebounded about 8 percent.

Houston and Dallas are projected to rise about 3 to 4 percent over the next year.

An official at the headquarters of China’s customs agency and an official at the Beijing municipal customs office each declined to comment.

Executives and traders in both countries have said that Chinese customs agents have blocked rare earth exports since early last week, after a diplomatic dispute over Japan’s detention of a Chinese fishing trawler captain in waters claimed by both countries. Japan released the captain on Friday.

A Japanese minerals trader said Tuesday that customs agents were still not allowing shipments of rare earths to Japan.

Traders here say that it would be extremely difficult to find other sources of the minerals if shipments continue to be held up.

China mines 93 percent of the world’s rare earth minerals.

Those markets “don’t have the huge supply of homes that a lot of the coastal markets have,” said Eric Fox, vice president of economic and statistical modeling at Veros.

Houston and Dallas both have jobless rates of under 9 percent, below the national average of 9.6 percent. And in both cities, fewer than 15 percent of borrowers owe more on their homes than their properties are worth.

Nationally, prices have risen nearly 7 percent from their April 2009 bottom. Yet they remain nearly 28 percent below their July 2006 peak.

Most experts predict about 5 million homes will be sold this year. That would be in line with last year and just above 2008, the worst sales performance since 1997.

The latest changes in the CaseShiller national index represent a three-month moving average — for May, June and July. Sales in May and June were inflated by government tax credits that have since expired.

July was the worst month for home sales in 15 years. August wasn’t much better. The record number of foreclosures, job concerns and weak demand from buyers have combined to weigh down prices.

“The market, at best, is weak, and starting to decline,” said Michael Feder, chief executive of Radar Logic Inc., which tracks the housing market.

Job flexibility and employers’ support are essential, so more parents are opening up about their kids’ needs

By Cindy Krischer Goodman

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

ESPN commentator and former tennis star Mary Joe Fernandez remembers the day she learned her son had asthma. “It was like a wake-up call that threw me into action,” Fernandez said.

She realized she would need to become ultra-organized to keep up travel for her broadcasting job, find the best asthma treatments and manage her son’s medical needs. “I came up with an action plan that I leave behind with his school, or baby sitter, or my parents so when I travel they know what to do.”

Fernandez just recently started to talk openly about her son’s illness, even during a recent tennis clinic for children at the U.S. Open in New York to raise awareness and empower other parents.

Despite their fears about job security, more parents of children with chronic illnesses and disabilities are opening up — even at work. What they have going for them is strength in numbers: One in seven children under age 18, or approximately 10.2 million children in the United States, have special health care needs, according to Department of Health and Human Services.

Most parents say they have no choice but to open up; they need their jobs to support their families, and more importantly, they need the health insurance. They also need flexibility and resources for what becomes a lifetime commitment.

Kathy Crisci with her sons Charley Crisci, reclining, and Erik Aguirre, holding the family’s dog, Peppito. Erik suffered from cancer and the aftereffects of chemo, but his mom has been there for him, balancing work and family.

“If you don’t have employer support, it can become overwhelming,” said Isabel Garcia, executive director of Parent to Parent of Miami, a community resource center.

Judith Marte balances a highpressure job — she is chief budget officer for Miami-Dade County Public Schools — and her family, which includes a 19-year-old son with a severe form of autism.

Raising a child with special needs magnifies your stress level at least three times, she said.

Over the years, Marte has put in place a support system that includes her boss, who understands about emergencies. “Having a supportive workplace is hugely important. I could not work at a place that was not family-oriented,” she said.

Most working parents juggle a variety of time demands. But

having a child with a disability or chronic illness requires additional time and effort.

Parents of these children must find and manage treatment, attend doctor appointments, handle conflicts at day care or school, and seek the right education choices.

It easily can create financial problems, marital discord, sibling issues and problems at work.

Even understanding employers may be flexible only up to a certain point.

During her 23 years with the City of Sunrise, Fla., community development department, Gladys “Kathy” Crisci has juggled work with surgeries and treatments for her son Erik. At age 4, Erik was diagnosed with cancer. He is now 21. Chemotherapy and radiation keeps his cancer at bay but has created a lifetime of serious health complications.

Crisci said that at the time of the diagnosis, her boss gave her time off, and her co-workers donated vacation time. But over the years, more treatments were necessary.

Crisci worked for a few different supervisors, some more understanding than others. To keep her job, she put in extra effort to make up for her absences.

“I tried hard to make sure they knew I was going to take care of my workload, that I could handle both, even if I had to work at night or over the weekends. It was incredible pressure, but I did it,” she said.

On the other hand, some parents of children with special needs may refrain from talking about their children at work — or asking for help.

Steve Rossman, chairmandesignate for Easter Seals’ international board of directors, is a single father raising his daughter with special needs and a granddaughter.

Rossman also is a Miami law partner who tries to create a family-friendly workplace and concedes that some bosses are less than understanding of the lifetime challenges facing these parents.

“The key is to sit down and try to work out a solution that works,” he said.

Professional jealousy hurts workplace relationships McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Would you like a promotion at work? If so, look around to see if someone is blocking your progress.

Backstabbers live in almost every work setting. To overcome sabotage, which is likely to happen if you’re good at your job, you’ve got to be clever, and speak up early on.

These tips can help:

• Talk privately with an HR manager. Sit down with someone who can document the jealousy issues. State your concerns clearly.

• Act out benevolent behaviors.

Let co-workers know you are a team player. They’ll get the true picture of what’s going on.

• Treat the jealous person with kindness. Even if everyone knows you’re unhappy about the jealousy, try to act civil toward this per-

son. Outclass him or her.

An HR manager we’ll call Peggy says people with low self-esteem often try to backstab others.

But, anything you do to raise their self-esteem will likely backfire, says Peggy. She offers these tips to supervisors of such people: • Ask the jealous person for his opinion. Talk to him often to gain insight into what bothers him.

This diffuses anger he might act

out on co-workers.

• Give this person specific tasks. Keep her busy doing online research that is important for a big project. Steer him away from serving on committees or group activities.

• Find this person’s strong points. Make sure the whole department understands what this person does well. It can’t hurt to brag, if the statements are true.

Congress for aid

‘99ers’ want their benefits extended

By Alana Semuels Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — After his wife pulls out of the driveway every morning to head to college, Scott Mathewson sits down at the computer in his apartment and talks to his unemployment group.

Mathewson, a San Jose, Calif., electrician who has been out of work for more than two years, spends most days in an online chat room he created to lobby for another round of unemployment benefits. In this election year, he and other jobless workers are trying to turn the nation’s 14.9 million unemployed into a political force.

“This has made me 110 percent more politically active,” said Mathewson, 45, who in March exhausted his 99 weeks of jobless benefits, the maximum available.

Mathewson is part of a growing army of so-called 99ers, the estimated 3.5 million unemployed workers who will have fallen off the jobless benefit rolls by year’s end. Their prospects for finding new work are dim. The U.S. economy continues to shed jobs, and the national unemployment rate is 9.6 percent.

With their finances in tatters and little hope of finding work anytime soon, Mathewson and other 99ers are pressing policymakers for additional aid.

Banding together Last week, a group of grassroots, Internet-based organizations blitzed members of the U.S. Senate with faxes and emails. Calling themselves the American 99ers Union, they’re urging lawmakers to approve a stalled bill granting an additional 20 weeks of benefits to long-term jobless workers in hard-hit states.

“You’ve had a lot of groups out there with the same end goal, an extension,” said Gregg Rosen, an unemployed marketer from Pennsylvania who founded the umbrella group.

“We thought, ‘Let’s start putting these groups together into one laser-focused group.’ ” Rosen estimates that the 16 groups in the coalition are

composed of 100,000 members from across the country. Whether they can mobilize the nation’s jobless or sway public policy remains to be seen.

Few legislators or candidates this political season are championing efforts to extend unemployment benefits because of concerns over the size of the federal budget deficit. There’s no powerful entity in Washington representing the jobless or the millions of Americans getting by on part-time jobs.

Many unemployed people are so strapped for cash that they’ve lost their Internet and phone service.

Others spend so much time job hunting that they have little energy for political action.

“The jobless are not a lobbying group. There’s no national association of the unemployed,” said former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at University of California-Berkeley. “Most people who have lost a job think of themselves as very much alone.”

Getting political Michael White, 58, said this is the time to band together. White, of Los Angeles, didn’t follow politics until he lost his job as a video editor in June 2008. He’s since founded the Unemployed Workers Action Group, which is affiliated with the American 99ers Union.

White helped organize an August rally on Wall Street that drew dozens of unemployed, some holding signs reading “The American Dream Has No Expiration Date” and “Where Are the Jobs?” The group encouraged 99ers to call their members of Congress about introducing legislation to grant an extension of unemployment benefits, called Tier 5, to those whose benefits have run out.

“They say you shouldn’t vote on one issue, but my next vote is going to be based on this issue,” White said. “When people are losing their homes, it’s a very important issue by which to judge politicians.”

Johnson & Johnson chief to testify on drug recalls

By Natasha Singer and Reed Abelson New York Times News Service

In recent weeks, the chief executive of Johnson & Johnson has gone on the offensive in a very public way, trying to assure customers and company employees that the recalls of popular over-thecounter drugs like children’s liquid Tylenol did not reflect systemic problems across the corporation.

And on Thursday, the executive, William Weldon, is expected to appear at a congressional hearing, for the first time to provide his own account to lawmakers of the manufacturing problems that led to the recalls. Weldon has asserted that missteps at the company’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit, which was responsible for the withdrawal of certain products from the marketplace, have been contained.

“From Johnson & Johnson’s perspective, our response to this issue was the most responsible it could possibly be,” Weldon said in a recent interview.

His testimony before Congress comes as the company confronts other highly publicized problems that have swirled around Weldon’s stewardship and the integrity of one of the world’s most respected companies.

In recent months, the company has recalled tens of thousands of artificial hips as well as several million contact lenses, made by distinct units.

It is also the subject of numerous government inquiries and consumer lawsuits. In McNeil’s case, the unit recalled about 136 million bottles of liquid infants’ and children’s medicines in April and millions of bottles of Tylenol and other pills for adults earlier in the year.

Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which is holding the hearing, said the company had failed to adequately oversee the McNeil unit and did not correct the manufacturing problems there quickly.

Common Table bartender Mikal Lilly, of Bend, unpacks glasses while preparing the bar for the restaurant’s grand opening, in downtown Bend on Tuesday afternoon.

Restaurant Continued from B1 A free meal may come in a carry-out box if a diner needs a shower, for example, and doesn’t meet requirements for dining inside.

Problem or solution?

The concept of Common Table has generally been well-received.

Bob Pearson, a volunteer and co-founder of the restaurant, said some downtown business owners expressed concern that Common Table could cause more panhandling from homeless people, thus potentially discouraging shoppers from visiting local businesses.

“Our perspective is that they’re already downtown,” said Pearson, who said he still understands businesses’ concerns. “Give them a place they can go.”

AJ Cohen, who owns the Local Joe clothing store on Wall Street, said downtown has become a premier shopping area. He said if Common Table did attract more homeless people downtown — which he wasn’t sure would occur because he had only heard secondhand accounts of the restaurant’s purpose — it could lead to more panhandling and fewer customers.

Cohen said female customers, in particular, have complained to him about being harassed by people who appear to be homeless. While he emphasized that it’s important to have compassion for

people, and that not all homeless people cause problems, Cohen said he can’t figure out why the restaurant has been established downtown.

But “I reserve judgment, ’cause I don’t know what it’s going to do,” he said.

Others also are waiting to see how the business operates before making judgments.

As long as the operation is organized, the restaurant seems like a great idea, said Carlos Chan, owner of Showcase Hats & Apparel, which moved from Minnesota Avenue to Oregon Avenue earlier this year.

Hancock thinks the restaurant’s intent has been misunderstood at times.

“We’re a part of the solution of having people find their feet,” he said. “It actually alleviates the problem, rather than ignores it.”

Funding The purchase of the Cork space and renovation was funded by grants from the Presbyterian Church at the local and national levels, donations and Deschutes County’s Economic Development Fund, which contributed $3,000.

Pearson, who retired to Bend from Silicon Valley nine years ago, said the project has cost six figures, but he declined to be specific. He has previously said the group would use $280,000 in pledged or donated funding for the restaurant over the next three years.

Common Table will employ

about 20 workers. Volunteers will complement paid staff.

Hancock said he’s had more than 200 people contact him about volunteering, something that can be a résumé-booster for the unemployed.

Though much of the funding for Common Table comes from the church and some employees are rooted in it — Hancock was previously a youth pastor in Colorado — the staff is diverse, Hancock said, like they want the patrons to be.

More than just food The group plans to host events like book readings and lectures in the evenings. Hancock said the events will be on a variety of subjects, not necessarily issues related to spirituality.

The restaurant will donate some of its proceeds in the form of the $10 vouchers to organizations like NeighborImpact and Family Access Network, which will then give them to people in need, founders said.

Hancock said another idea is to create a low-cost meal every Monday, like soup and salad, that will be free to anyone.

“It’s a public space,” Hancock said. “We believe people gather around food and drink. We set the table and are the host and welcome people into that space.”

BEND-LA PINE SCHOOL DISTRICT

Traffic Board OKs contract with workers law blitz Classified staff agree to give up cost of living raise; issue to be revisited in spring comes to U.S. 97 “It is just a one-year agreement that we reached, and we’ll be chatting again this spring. But we met the interests of all the parties to the extent we could.”

Multi-agency team aims to make area roads safer during 4-hour crackdowns

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

Cruising down U.S. Highway 97 on the north end of Bend, it doesn’t take long for Deschutes County Sheriff’s Deputy Ron Brown to spot the drivers not following the rules.

In the next lane, a man behind the wheel is talking on his cell phone. Oncoming cars zoom past at well over the speed limit, making the numbers on Brown’s dashboard radar screen flash up and down.

Many don’t seem to notice that they’ve picked the wrong day for violating traffic rules — a day when extra officers are on the road looking for problem drivers.

On the other side of the highway, another deputy has pulled over a car for a traffic stop.

Brown swings around and parks behind the deputy, waiting to see if passing drivers obey the “Move Over” law, which requires them to switch lanes and slow down when emergency vehicles or tow trucks are on the side of the road.

Less than a minute goes by before a Honda Accord races past in the right lane and Brown takes off after it.

After he pulls over the car, he gets out to talk to the driver. The woman tells him she knew about the law, but thought she only had to move over within her own lane. He straightens her out on the rules and hands her a written warning.

Threat of $300 ticket The driver could have received a nearly $300 ticket, but Brown figured it wasn’t necessary to get the point across.

“I think we took care of the problem right there,” he said, getting back into his car.

It was one of 49 warnings — and 26 citations — issued over a four-hour period last Friday afternoon by a Multi-Agency Traffic Team of Deschutes County deputies, Oregon State Police troopers and officers from the Bend and Redmond police departments. The eight-member team patrolled the stretch of Highway 97 between Lava Butte and Redmond, searching for speeders, aggressive drivers and people ignoring cell phone, seat belt and Move Over laws.

Sgt. Chris Carney of the Bend Police Department said the team tries to arrange a special enforcement operation once a month.

Each time, a different agency selects a problem area to target with the help of additional resources from the other local departments.

In Bend, for example, officers have focused on problem drivers on the Bend Parkway and on busy intersections like Reed Market Road and Third Street.

JEFFERSON COUNTY

Metolius move angers 3 parties Environmental group, tribes, landowners are all appealing terms of commission’s decision to allow construction of cabins

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

A move earlier this month by Jefferson County commissioners to allow a group of landowners to build more than a dozen 850square-foot fishing accommodations on their property, which sits near the Metolius River on Lake Billy Chinook, has everyone involved — including the landowners — appealing the commission’s decision.

The landowners disagree with the county’s proposal that all the cabins should be clustered on the property. Environmentalists are worried that allowing the development could set a dangerous legal precedent and threaten Oregon’s rivers in the future.

And the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs believe the county’s decision exceeds state law.

All three parties plan to appeal the commission’s vote to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

Existing structures unlawful Photos show development on the property in question as far back as 1988. Since 1996, the county has flagged buildings on

the property for being out of compliance.

There are now eight camp trailers, 11 buildings, three covered patio areas, five decks and 11 docks on the property. They were all built illegally, without county building permits.

County officials were working with the landowners to find a solution to help them avoid code violations and bring the property into compliance.

For property zoned as forest management, the county’s code and state law allows for 15 guest rooms or fishing accommodations.

So, the county proposed the landowners comply by building the fishing accommodations.

A Redmond woman who has rented out her farmland for weddings wants to restart the process to legalize the practice in Deschutes County, and she is asking the county to waive a $10,000 land use fee.

Kelly Brown’s request, which has yet to be scheduled for discussion by the Deschutes County Commission, is the latest development in an ongoing dispute between property owners who believe they have the right to rent out their farmland for events, and neighbors and others who believe the practice is illegal.

The decision on whether to waive the land use fee is up to the Deschutes County Commission, a county attorney has said.

On Tuesday, Brown referred questions to her attorney, Dave Hunnicutt, with the property rights advocacy nonprofit Oregonians In Action. Brown is not currently renting her property out for events, Hunnicutt said.

‘Devastating financial impact’ “A large part of her ability to continue use of that property in agriculture was based on these events and since the county has decided that she can no longer conduct these events, it’s had a devastating financial impact on her,” Hunnicutt said of his client.

Brown and other property owners who hold events on farmland went through the same process last year, but Brown withdrew the group’s application to change county code two days before a scheduled hearing before the County Commission.

In that case, Brown and the other property owners paid a land use application fee of $4,510, according to the county.

That fee was not refunded when they withdrew it, said Community Development Director Tom Anderson.

Man held after four-hour standoff was unarmed, authorities say

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

A Bend man who made threats about using guns and bombs during a four-hour standoff with SWAT team officers Monday was unarmed, police said Tuesday.

Officials were called to the Greenwood Manor apartment complex on Fourth Street about

2 p.m. Monday. They tried for several hours to negotiate with Mark Thomas Hipple, 52, who had barricaded himself in his first-floor apartment and was believed to be armed with a rifle.

Residents from the apartment complex were evacuated to an area across the street and later to Marshall High School, and

a local school was put in lockdown as police closed off streets in a four-block area. Nearly 40 officers from several local law enforcement agencies were called to help.

About three hours into the standoff, Hipple tossed some of his belongings through his windows. At about 6 p.m., SWAT officers approached the apart-

ment and used a Taser through a broken window to get Hipple under control.

Held on $12,500 bail Hipple was handcuffed and taken to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Lt. Paul Kansky of the Bend Police Department said it ap-

peared Hipple had been drinking before Monday’s standoff.

On Tuesday morning, Hipple was booked in the Deschutes County jail. Sheriff’s Office records show he is being held on $12,500 bail on suspicion of first-degree disorderly conduct, first-degree criminal mischief and menacing.

Study: Bark beetles reduce wildfire risk

By Bettina Boxall Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Dire warnings have accompanied the armies of bark beetles that bored their way across the Mountain West in the past decade: Millions of acres had turned into a tinderbox of scraggly, dead trees ready to explode in flames.

But scientists are pouring water on that conventional wisdom.

A new study in the lodgepole pine forests of the greater Yellowstone region concludes that rather than increasing the wildfire risk, beetle attacks reduce it by thinning tree crowns. “It’s really counterintuitive,� said University of Wisconsin ecology professor Monica Turner, co-author of a paper that has been accepted for publication in Ecological Monographs. “The beetles are good foresters, thinning the forests for us in a way.�

Beetle infestations have spread across more than 100 million acres in the Western U.S. and British Columbia since the 1990s, staining the rich green of conifer forests with the grays and rusts of dead and dying pine, spruce and fir trees.

Experts say drought and a century of fire suppression have left forests more vulnerable to the insects’ cyclical outbreaks, while rising temperatures mean there are fewer fall and spring cold snaps to keep the bugs in check.

The beetle destruction has prompted calls for stepped-up efforts to remove the dead trees and reduce the wildfire hazard.

A Senate bill introduced last year would give the U.S. Agriculture Department authority to designate “insect and disease emergency� areas on national forest land, giving priority to thinning projects.

But Turner and co-authors Martin Simard, William Romme and Jacob Griffin concluded that overall, mountain pine beetle damage “generally results in a dampening rather than an am-

Beetle reversal New evidence suggests bark beetle attacks in pine forests reduce the threat of wildfire rather than increase it. Dead trees drop their needles and thinner tree crowns slow a spreading fire.

plification of fire behavior and intensity.�

When the dead pines drop their needles, they are shedding fuel that can drive fast-moving fires in the tree crowns. “It’s the decline in the canopy fuels that is responsible for the reduction in the fire hazard,� Turner explained. “The perception people have about the increase in fire risk really did not have much of a basis.�

The study also found that the increase in dead needles on the forest floor had little effect on the intensity and spread of surface fire, which is fed by fallen limbs and branches.

T O D AY IN HISTORY

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Sept. 29, 1910, the National Urban League had its beginnings as The Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was established in New York.

TEN YEARS AGO Israeli riot police stormed a major Jerusalem shrine and opened fire on stone-throwing Muslim worshippers, killing four Palestinians and wounding 175.

ON THIS DATE In 1789, the U.S. War Department established a regular army with a strength of several hundred men.

In 1829, London’s reorganized police force, which became known as Scotland Yard, went on duty.

In 1907, the foundation stone was laid for the Washington National Cathedral, which wasn’t fully completed until this date in 1990.

In 1918, Allied forces began their decisive breakthrough of the Hindenburg Line during World War I. In 1938, British, French, German and Italian leaders concluded the Munich Agreement, which was aimed at appeasing Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland.

In 1960, the situation comedy “My Three Sons,� starring Fred MacMurray, premiered on ABC. The musical “Irma La Douce� opened on Broadway.

In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his Vatican apartment just over a month after becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1980, The Washington Post published “Jimmy’s World,� a feature article about an 8-year-old heroin addict that went on to win a Pulitzer Prize; however, the story turned out to have been totally fabricated by the reporter, Janet Cooke.

In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.)

In 1990, the Washington National Cathedral, begun in 1907, was formally completed with President George H.W. Bush overseeing the laying of the final stone atop the southwest pinnacle of the cathedral’s St. Paul Tower.

FIVE YEARS AGO John G. Roberts Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s 17th chief justice after winning Senate confirmation. New York Times reporter Judith Miller was released from 85 days of federal detention after agreeing to testify in a criminal probe into the leak of a covert CIA officer’s identity. Three suicide car bombs exploded nearly simultaneously in Balad, a mostly Shiite town north of Baghdad, killing some 60 people.

ONE YEAR AGO New York City terrorism suspect Najibullah Zazi pleaded not guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in what authorities said was a planned attack on commuter trains. (Zazi later pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and supporting al-Qaida.)

Former Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was sentenced in New York to more than 24 years in prison for his guilty plea to fraud charges and another four years and four months in prison for his conviction at trial for breaking campaign finance laws. A tsunami killed nearly 200 people in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Singer Jerry Lee Lewis is 75. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is 74. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is 68. Actor Ian McShane is 68. Actress Patricia Hodge is 64. TV personality Bryant Gumbel is 62. Broadcast journalist Gwen Ifill is 55. Singer-musician Les Claypool is 47.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.� — Eleanor Roosevelt, American first lady (1884-1962)

Researchers used satellite imagery to map lodgepole stands attacked by mountain pine beetles, hiked into the areas to confirm the beetle damage and measured fuel loads. Then they ran computer models to predict fire behavior. “The overall message that bark beetles do not increase the risk of wildfire is something that has been coming out of the scientific literature for a number of years,� said Dominik Kulakowski, an assistant geography professor at Clark University in Massachusetts who was not involved in the study. “What has been missing is the mechanism explaining that.�

He has testified before Congress that climate is what’s driving the growth in Western wildfires not the beetle epidemic. “The risk of wildfire is real and present, but that risk is associated with drought conditions,� he said. “If we chase after the bark beetle outbreaks ... we’re going to waste very precious resources.�

Michael Jenkins, an associate ecology professor at Utah State University, said his own research findings largely agree with the Yellowstone work, but there are two exceptions.

His studies in lodgepole forests in Utah and Idaho found that there is a relatively shortlived increase in the potential for surface fires when dying needles that have not yet lost all their resins pile up on the ground. He also said the potential for a crown fire briefly increases in the early stages of a beetle epidemic, when the forest is a mixture of dying, dead and living trees.

But by the time the beetles have finished their work, leaving behind a sea of ghostly gray pine corpses, Jenkins said the wildfire “hazard is gone.� At that stage, he added, there is no point in cutting down the dead trees. “We’re in a post-outbreak phase. That’s the phase we’re in now in the Colorado Rockies,� a hot spot of lodgepole infestation.

The research on beetles and wildfire has focused on lodgepole and spruce-fir stands, so scientists can’t say if the results apply to other forest types that have also experienced beetle damage.

While the intermountain West has been the hardest hit, bark beetles carved a swath of destruction through Southern California’s San Bernardino National Forest in 2003 and 2004.

Citing fire risk, forest managers there have spent millions removing dead trees on about 29,000 acres near communities, roads and recreation areas.

County establishes septic loan program Deschutes County announced Tuesday the launch of a new $60,000 loan program to help low-income people required to upgrade their septic systems to nitrate-reducing systems.

The program, which will be administered by NeighborImpact, is specifically for south Deschutes County residents who have been disqualified from NeigborImpact’s existing cost-deferred loan program due to mortgage delinquency, inadequate equity and other factors, according to a county news release. The income limit for a four-person household is $50,800, according to the county.

The county will contribute $60,000 to the program in the current fiscal year, from an approximately $500,0000 fund dedicated to preventing nitrate pollution in southern Deschutes County’s shallow aquifer. Money in the fund comes from a combination of an Environmental Protection Agency grant, sales of federal land transferred to Deschutes County to create the Newberry Neighborhood and sales of development credits through a market-driven system to reduce development in certain sensitive areas.

Grazing permit near Badlands retired A 2,971-acre parcel of Bureau of Land Management land next to the Oregon Badlands Wilderness will no longer be used for livestock grazing, according to a news release from the Oregon Natural Desert Association. The Bend-based nonprofit worked with a local rancher on the voluntary retirement of the Lynch Allotment, which features old-growth junipers and wildlife habitat.

The Bureau of Land Management, which manages the area, has approved the retirement, said Brent Fenty, executive director of the organization, and the plan was also supported by the Deschutes County commission and the property’s neighbors.

The Oregon Natural Desert Association paid about $10,000 to compensate the rancher who previously grazed the parcel for the value of the permit, Fenty said.

Kids in Ochoco Elementary’s dual-language program learn in Spanish, English

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

PRINEVILLE — Standing up in front of the class, her cheeks a bright shade of red, Ana Laura Jacuinde Caballero, 5, took a deep breath and showed her class how to count to five in her native language Monday morning at Ochoco Elementary School.

“Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco,” she said, a smile of relief flooding her face once she reached five. A row of hands shot up as the teacher asked who else would like to try pronouncing numbers in Spanish. Most of the hands belonged to native English-speaking students, inspired to try a new way of counting.

“I’ve been shocked that the kids are so willing to try a new language out,” said Cathy Fall, teacher of the class and driving force behind the dual-language immersion program at the Prineville school. “Things are going better than I even dreamed they would.”

In its first year at the school, the dual-language immersion program has 21 kindergartners enrolled, with parents across the county sending their students to learn a second language. Though it’s only the second week of class for the kindergartners, the children have already started down the road to becoming bilingual.

“I’ve learned agua, baño, and lápiz,” said Torrin Keller, 6, a native English speaker in the program who has picked up the Spanish words for “water,” “bathroom” and “pencil.”

The class consists of half native English speakers and half native Spanish speakers. English and Spanish are taught on alternating days, with students learning all the basics of kindergarten, along with another language.

“The kids are already making progress,” said Merry Duggan, an ESL teacher at several schools in the district. “We’re really excited to see it all happen.”

Duggan said many of the students have already started to speak freely to one another in both languages. Duggan recounted one incident in which a native English speaker began asking questions in Spanish to a native Spanish speaker, without any instruction.

In addition to helping children become bilingual, the class provides some pupils a greater sense of belonging than a normal kindergarten experience could, Fall said.

“It really bolsters the selfesteem of the native Spanish speakers,” she said, adding that rather than forcing them to learn English, the program emphasizes the value of both languages.

“It teaches them the importance of keeping their own language.”

During Monday’s session, the language of the day was Spanish, with students absorbing it through several activities. After recess, students sat in a circle on the alfombra, or carpet, to practice pronouncing words together.

Students asked and responded to the question, “¿Cómo te llamas?” or “What’s your name?” After that, the class reviewed letters of the alphabet. Fall held up flash cards of letters with drawings

Teacher Cathy Fall answers a question from a student in her bilingual kindergarten class Monday at Ochoco Elementary School in Prineville.

“The younger they learn a second language, the more apt they are to be more successful.

Learning a language is like learning any other skill — you need practical application to really get it.”

— Stan Johns, principal of Ochoco Elementary in Prineville

Leslie Velasco, 5, listens to a story read by her teacher, Cathy Fall, during the dual-language kindergarten class Monday in Prineville. corresponding to the letter underneath, and then had students act out the drawings.

“Be, Ba, Bate,” Students repeated together, acting out the swing of baseball bat. Though it was a day of Spanish instruction, the class also reviewed the English alphabet so all students could get a solid handle on the pronunciation of letters in both languages.

“Aa-Ah-Apple” students repeated for the letter ‘a,’ pretending to bite into an imaginary piece of fruit.

After a review of letters and numbers, students returned to their tables for a session of selfportrait drawing. Kindergartners sketched their own faces and filled out the word “contenta” or “contento,” meaning “happy” or “pleased,” beneath their portraits.

“He has hair like mine,” said Torrin, pointing to the spikyhaired boy in his portrait. “Conten-to,” he said, pronouncing the word slowly.

Though the class is taught in both languages, some characteristics of the program are the same as in any other kindergarten.

“Coloring is my favorite part of the day,” said Leslie Velasco, 5, adding wavy hair to the girl in her self-portrait. “And I like making new friends.”

So far, Leslie said, she likes kindergarten a lot.

Haley Nelson, 6, said she has made a lot of friends, too, and has already learned a lot of words. “My favorite new word is ‘yo.’ And I like ‘sí,’ too,” said

Haley, referencing the words for ‘I’ and ‘yes.’

Principal Stan Johns said the school plans to add another kin-

dergarten immersion class next year. The program’s goal is to have students more or less bilingual by the end of third grade.

“The younger they learn a second language, the more apt they are to be more successful,” said Johns. “Learning a language is like learning any other skill — you need practical application to really get it.”

The class finished up Monday with a reading of the popular children’s book “La Oruga Muy Hambrienta,” or “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle.

Though it was clear that many of

the English speakers in the class didn’t understand every word of the book, they understood the basics — counting along with Fall as the caterpillar ate more and more throughout the book.

“I wish everyone could see how this is working,” Fall said after class let out. “We’ve had some opposition about the program, but I think if people could see how well it’s going, they’d be sold on it.”

The Associated Press ASHLAND — Southern Oregon University has established a joint degree program with a Chinese university to allow Chinese students to complete bachelor’s degrees in business, computer science or digital design in Oregon.

Chinese students are expected to arrive in Ashland beginning in fall 2011 under the agreement

with Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, in China’s Henan Province.

Gary Miller, director of international programs at Southern Oregon, told the Ashland Daily Tidings the first year should bring about six students from China.

“Our goal is to build slowly,” he said. “Quality is what we want to do from the beginning.”

Three choices for Redmond council

R

edmond voters must choose from four candidates to fill three vacancies on the City Council. In doing so, they should select Ed Onimus, one of the two incumbents, and

both newcomers, Margie Dawson and Tory Allman.

Dawson was reared in Redmond but moved away for a time before returning in the 1990s. She’s a businesswoman, has developed commercial property and is active in the city’s downtown urban renewal district, the Chamber of Commerce and the city’s development commission. She serves on the city planning commission, as well. She believes the city’s urban renewal district has helped improve downtown and would consider extending its life another 20 years if the city can come up with a solid plan for spending the money it would generate.

Tory Allman manages Centwise Sporting Goods downtown. Like Dawson, he has been involved in the urban renewal district, and he serves as president of his Kiwanis Club. He believes the city should focus on providing basic services, including transportation, while keeping taxes low. By doing so, he argues, the city might be able to attract more businesses, which would generate both revenue and job opportunities.

All three candidates say economic development will be one of the critical issues facing Redmond in the years

ahead. Both Allman and Dawson know something about the subject, having either run or owned small businesses in the city. Meanwhile, Onimus, an accountant, is determined to minimize the costs imposed by government. To this end, he has sometimes found himself in the minority on City Council votes.

Recently, he points out, he sought unsuccessfully to delay a hike in system development charges for a year, arguing that raising fees in the current economic environment is imprudent. He lost the vote, much as he did when it came to buying the old Evergreen School for possible use as a city hall. Not only is the city’s current facility adequate for the time being, he argues, it also isn’t the government’s role to underwrite historic preservation. Even if Onimus is in the minority, as he was in this case, his willingness to challenge city spending at least forces those on the other side to justify their proposals. That’s a good thing.

Redmond residents should return Onimus and elect Dawson and Allman to the council. The combination of old and new blood will serve the city well.

Pick Rodd Clark for Crook County Sheriff T

wo imperfect candidates would like to serve for the next four years as Crook County’s sheriff. One is the 24-year incumbent, Rodd Clark. The other, Jim Hensley, was Clark’s undersheriff until Clark demoted him a couple of years ago.

Although we have reservations about Clark, we don’t believe Hensley is the right man for the job. He focuses more on Clark’s shortcomings than on what he would do in the office.

He simply hasn’t made the case that he’s better qualified for the position than Clark, which is ultimately what matters.

Clark has some shortcomings of his own, however. While his actions in one instance may have been legal, they certainly look bad. And that matters. In addition to obeying the letter of the law, public officials — and law enforcement officials in particular — should scrupulously avoid behavior that even appears ethically dubious.

Clark, it seems, doesn’t give much thought to such subtleties.

The episode in question involves Clark’s daughter, who was hired recently to work in his department.

Clark believes his office followed the law, but the Oregon Government Ethics Commission will have the final say on whether that is so.

Clark also says he was not involved in the hiring, which is more than a little difficult to believe. While Clark may not have picked up the phone

himself and said, “Hey, want a job?” it beggars belief that the leader of a department as small as his had absolutely nothing to do with the hiring of his daughter. He clearly knew about it, and if nothing else, that gave him an opportunity to say “no” in order to preserve the reputation of his office.

Generally speaking, a hire that requires action by the state ethics commission is a hire that shouldn’t happen. That’s especially true when it involves a member of your family.

Despite this problem, Clark has done a good job as sheriff for more than two decades. In recent years, he’s stretched relatively thin resources as far as possible. About one-third of his deputies are financed by grants and through special programs, and without them county residents almost surely would feel the pinch. More importantly, voters lack a better alternative. Even Hensley acknowledges that his performance had slipped before Clark demoted him, though he attributes that to the effect of a painful divorce.

Crook County residents should give Clark their votes. But Clark should return the favor by having his ethics glasses checked. Crook County’s unemployment rate is well into the double digits. Surely, his daughter wasn’t the only person qualified for and interested in the job his office gave her.

My Nickel’s Worth Have sympathy Your Sept. 20 editorial, poorly titled “Tax-and-spend trend is bad for the deficit,” seemed pretty familiar. Then I remembered your editorial from April 9 titled “Too little skin in the tax game.”

So we have basically the same editorial repeated within six months. In both editorials, The Bulletin recommends increasing the income tax rate for Central Oregon’s lowest wage earners, working families that have been desperately scrambling to keep a roof over their children’s heads and food on the table during the hardest time since the ’30s.

These are families that have paid income taxes year after year when times were better. These folks took any work they could find, but earned so little even that the Bush administration said they don’t make enough money to pay.

One would expect a trace of sympathy for these folks, but instead they get a scolding about “recognizing the consequences of our own behavior.”

Now these families have turned to food stamps for the first time in their lives. But the Bulletin wants them to pay more taxes, which would take that food back off their tables.

Property taxes I feel the reporter for The Bulletin missed the point in his article about the property taxes for two properties in Bend.

Both properties were purchased or valued at the similar price in 1995 and now are worth very different values.

money from his house than Bill Shaw.

It is only when it is sold that a difference in value is received. When sold, Slater will have to pay at least $300,000 for taxes and the new owner will have his house now taxed at the $1.6 million figure.

A house does not gain in true value until sold. Does it seem fair to make a person’s taxes more than a similarpriced home purchased in 1995, just because he was lucky or smart and now his house has gone up more in value?

He probably has more expenses than the less expensive house just because of the value of maintaining the home in a more expensive area.

If two people buy stocks on the same day and one goes up and one goes down, yet neither one sells the stock, should the guy that bought the increasing stock pay more even though he is not selling the stock?

Impressed by Stiegler As an independent-minded Republican, I look at a candidate’s record more than at his/her party affiliation. I have been consistently impressed with Rep. Judy Stiegler.

She is willing to bring diverse interests together to benefit our community, in order to keep it a great place to start a business and raise a family. She has also shown that she will take risks in order to do the right thing.

A perfect example: When Stiegler was asked to consider a tax on the growing craft brewing industry, she brought local brewers together to find out how such a tax would affect their businesses. With nearly 400 local jobs at stake, Stiegler stood firm — even

in opposition to her own party — and stopped the beer tax.

Stiegler looks out for the interests of Central Oregon by getting people to come together to solve our problems.

Whether it’s booting the beer tax, working together to balance conservation and development needs, or sticking up for small business, seniors and children, Stiegler is a strong voice for our community.

Silly ramp rules The Sept. 19 front-page article “Is that ramp on the level” unintentionally illustrates the consequences of bureaucracy run amok: “A grade that is 0.1 percent off can make a ramp noncompliant. Landing slope cannot have more than a 2 percent grade in any direction.”

First, consider the time and effort some federal employee devoted to drafting these ridiculously close tolerances and, I’m sure, many other petty regulations.

No doubt they had to be discussed in numerous committee meetings and then approved by several layers of management. And then consider that these silly regulations require the city of Bend to employ one or more curb ramp inspectors.

Bend’s street division manager likens curb ramp construction to brain surgery. Unbelievable!

People, whatever happened to common sense? Just wait until you see the reams of new, exacting regulations arising from Obamacare. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Federal Fair Tax would simplify collection, save money

By Patrick Burkett

Bulletin guest columnist

Regarding the Sept. 9, editorial, “A tax battle for all to like,” I applaud the editor’s insight that “the cost and hassle of compliance (of the tax code) have become so high that many beneficiaries of the code’s wrinkles might be willing to trade preferential treatment for greater simplicity.” This statement at once recognizes the difficulties of complying with the code’s many facets, the favoritism for some lucky groups, and holds out the possibility of relief.

I would like to put in a plug for the Fair Tax Legislation (FTL) currently awaiting consideration by the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 25. This is not just a simplification of the tax code, it is a complete replacement, and it eliminates completely the insane yearly April 15 fiasco of tax filing. It is a national retail consumption tax (on new items only) that replaces not only income taxes, Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, and capital gains tax, but also federal business taxes, the inheritance

tax, and the Alternative Minimum Tax. The average American worker gives up 30 percent of his income in these taxes.

This fact must be kept in mind when one considers that the Fair Tax replaces this lost revenue with a 23 percent tax on new purchases, which, although it sounds excessive, is actually less than the 30 percent of lost income. In my opinion, this gain in take-home pay, when considered with several other advantages of the Fair Tax system, makes putting such a law into effect a “no-brainer” decision.

Consider a few of the advantages (there are many more): 1. You get 100 percent of your wage as take-home pay (no withholding or estimated tax payments).

2. You never file a tax return. The federal government receives its income every time you purchase anything in new condition. Collection of the tax is done the same way and at the same time as any other retail sales tax, but the merchant and/or the state will receive a small percent of the tax as reimbursement for collecting the tax. Forty-four

IN MY VIEW states have a network of sales-tax authorities already in existence. The other six will be required to establish a collection system and will then be reimbursed for collections as stated above.

3. You never deal with the IRS over disputed income reports or deductions. And no need to keep a record of donations and other tax-deductible payments.

4. The estimated $2 trillion-a-year “underground” economy, including some illegal immigrants’ activities, those who have found ways to avoid taxes, dealers of illegal drugs, and others who deal only with cash transactions, end up paying the federal government whenever they spend money for everyday living expenses.

5. The 40 million yearly foreign tourists will broaden the tax base with their purchases.

6. Those in upper-income categories usually spend more on luxury items

than the average person, and the more expensive the luxury item, the more federal income the 23 percent tax will generate. And upper-income persons are often the ones who take advantage of tax loopholes to avoid as much income tax as possible.

7. It is estimated that as much as $300 billion is spent each year by persons who pay to have their tax returns professionally prepared and to develop sophisticated tax strategies to avoid paying what they owe. That expense and avoidance is eliminated by the FTL. The current tax law is a tome of 67,500 pages. Even the IRS has trouble keeping track of all of the detailed regulations in the current law.

8. Business taxes such as corporate taxes (ours are the second-highest in the world) and the employer’s share of Social Security and Medicare taxes are eliminated. This will lower the cost of goods, as well as make our nation’s companies more competitive with foreign producers and, hopefully, bring back to our country businesses that have found

it more profitable to move abroad.

9. The IRS will be significantly downsized once all back taxes are collected, resulting in a huge savings for government expenses.

A computer-generated model of what effect the FTL would have on our economy compared with continuing the present tax system showed the following: 1. GDP would rise 8 to 10 percent, starting within the first year.

2. Domestic investment would be 65 to 75 percent higher.

3. Capital stock would be 9.3 to 17 percent higher.

4. Real wages would be 9 to 10 percent higher.

5. Consumption would drop initially, but then rebound over five years to a 6 percent higher amount.

If the Fair Tax Legislation makes sense to you, please lend your support in every way possible. For some ideas on how to do so, please see the website www.fairtax.org.

Traffic Continued from C1 In Redmond, the focus is often on Highway 97 on the south end of the city, where there have been several serious accidents.

Some operations are targeted toward one particular offense, like drivers stopping for pedestrians in downtown Bend. Others, like Friday’s event, provide a chance to look for any traffic violations.

Carney said the special traffic operations aren’t meant to be a surprise — organizers always spread the word that they’re planning an event by contacting local media outlets.

The goal, said Oregon State Police Lt. Carl Rhodes, is to get drivers’ attention, whether they just see several officers on the road and check their speed or get a ticket for talking on a cell phone or following other cars too closely.

James Heselden, 62, owner of Segway, dies New York Times News Service

LONDON — James W. Heselden, a British businessman who invented and sold fortification containers for flood control and military protection and who owned the company that makes Segway electric scooters, died Sunday after plunging from a cliff in West Yorkshire, the police said, apparently while touring his property on a Segway.

He was 62.

His body was found late Sunday morning after a passer-by

reported seeing a man plummet 30 feet into the River Wharfe, the police said, adding that a “Segway-style vehicle” had also been found.

They did not say what had caused the accident.

Worked as coal miner Heselden was born in Leeds, in modest circumstances, and left school at 15. He worked as a coal miner, lost his job after the 1984 miners’ strike, and used

his severance pay to start Hesco Bastion, which manufactures the Hesco barriers he invented in 1990.

The barriers — galvanizedsteel mesh baskets rising to chest height that can be filled with dirt — were originally developed as flood control devices, and have been used in places like New Orleans and Iowa. Light, portable and easy to assemble, they have also replaced sandbags as a feature of virtually every defensive barrier deployed by coalition

forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are standard equipment for NATO. In recent years, Heselden has appeared on the Sunday Times of London’s list of 1,000 richest people in Britain. A passionate philanthropist, he donated almost $16 million to the Leeds Community Foundation earlier this month, bringing his total lifetime donations to charity to more than $36 million.

The two-wheeled Segway personal transporter, which oper-

ates on electricity and changes direction according to the way its driver tilts, was invented by Dean Kamen in 2001. Matt Dailida, vice president for government affairs at Segway, said that Heselden was “a Segway p.t. owner long before he bought the company,” in December 2009.

Dailida said that Segway was still trying to find out more about what caused Heselden to go off the cliff. Heselden is survived by his wife, Julie; five children, and eight grandchildren.

“When I played here, he was my idol,” said Nevada coach Chris Ault, who was the Wolf Pack’s quarterback in the early 1970s.

“He played on that 1948 team, was the first all-American this university ever had,” Ault said Tuesday. “He loved this university. He followed us and was an avid fan of our football program.

He was a very, very special Wolf Pack guy who now gets to look down on us from above.”

day, they said he seemed particularly frustrated.

Kansky said he wasn’t sure what charges would be filed against Hipple, if any. But he said the man might be a candidate for the county’s mental health court, which helps provide treatment for offenders.

He said getting the right kind of help can be crucial for keeping people with mental health problems from becoming repeat offenders.

“What we don’t want to happen is to have it fall through the cracks,” he said.

RENO, Nev. — Stan Heath, an all-America quarterback at Nevada who finished fifth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy in 1948, has died. He was 83.

Heath died at his home in Jesup, Ga., on Sunday. That’s the same day Nevada cracked The Associated Press poll for the first time since that 1948 team.

Heath had been battling cancer. The family plans a private memorial service but the date has not been set, Ray Howard of Howard-Jones-Nobles Funeral Home in Jesup said Tuesday.

Heath was an inaugural member of the University of Nevada Athletic Hall of Fame and one of the quarterbacks on Nevada’s Team of the Century,

Chief Deputy District Attorney Darryl Nakahira said Tuesday afternoon that prosecutors had not yet received any reports on the case.

Hipple’s actions were apparently related to “tenant issues,” Kansky said. Neighbors said Hipple had been upset about an upcoming move from the apartment complex.

“It is a pretty austere settlement, and we talked about that a lot,” Deputy Superintendent John Rexford said. “It is just a one-year agreement that we reached, and we’ll be chatting again this spring. But we met the interests of all the parties to the extent we could.”

Furlough days Superintendent Ron Wilkinson noted that all classified employees will take between five

“I hope it’s a positive impact of reminding (drivers) that they need to pay attention,” he said.

“You should, every day of the week, 24/7, pay attention, but it brings to light drivers that may be getting a little lax on moving over for law enforcement or cell phone usage. … It puts a hard focus on reducing or eliminating some of these hazardous traffic violations, the crash-causing violations.”

Officials from the Bend and Redmond police departments and the Oregon State Police said they schedule officers and troopers on their regular shifts to work the traffic operations.

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office pulls in deputies on overtime for the traffic operations. Capt. Tim Edwards of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says he has about $6,000 in the budget each year for overtime traffic shifts. Until a few years ago, the Sheriff’s Office had its

“That’s definitely impacted their income this year,” he said.

Bradetich said the district and union agreed there was little to be gained in long negotiations, since the district has taken several cuts in state funding over the past two years.

“We could see there weren’t many options,” Bradetich said.

Rexford said the bargaining could have been much more challenging.

“We had a tough situation,” he said. “But our relationships really matter as we work through these tough times.”

played one year in Green Bay before moving to Canada, where he played for the Hamilton TigerCats and Calgary Stampeders.

Heath starred on Nevada’s 1947 and 1948 teams that went a combined 18-4 and played in bowl games both years under coach Joe Sheetketski.

In a 1948 game against Oklahoma City, Heath threw five touchdown passes, a school record that stood unmatched for 30 years and unbroken until Vargas threw seven against UNLV in 1993.

Heath spent 20 years as a cattle rancher in Nebraska and became close friends with longtime Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, starting a “Beef Club” for the Cornhuskers.

Lisa Klemp, a Redmondbased attorney who represents the landowners, said the condition that all the cabins be clustered doesn’t make sense.

Farmland Continued from C1 Brown and Hunnicutt have not yet submitted a land use application. Hunnicutt said he could draft proposed language to authorize commercial events as a conditional use on farmland, but it would also be OK with him if county planners draft the changes to county land use code.

Any proposal would likely limit the types of events and their length, noise, traffic and other issues, Hunnicutt said.

Opponents of commercial events on farmland could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but in the past some have said their concerns include noise

own traffic team, but decided to reorganize so all of the deputies on the road would be open for any type of call.

The monthly traffic blitzes, Edwards said, help put more focus on problems that deputies spot on a daily basis.

“We feel like traffic issues are not central to any one location, so we can better use our resources by assisting each other to hit some of these trouble spots,” he said.

The local agencies often get additional grant money to target more specific problems, like seat

belt use and drunken driving.

The extra money provided for those efforts allows officers to be pulled in for overtime shifts; the departments have to submit reports about how they used grant money.

On the general traffic operations and the targeted, grantfunded efforts, officials said there’s no quota they aim to reach in terms of tickets or warnings.

Money collected from traffic tickets doesn’t go directly back to the agencies that write them — and in many cases, those agencies never see the money at all.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Don Doll, a standout defensive back who was part of Detroit’s 1952 NFL championship team before coaching the Lions, has died. He was 84.

The Lions said Tuesday that Doll died last Wednesday in San Juan Capistrano, Calif.

The team didn’t announce a cause of death.

The team said Doll had at least 10 interceptions in three seasons, the only NFL player to accomplish that feat.

Doll played safety for the Lions from 1949-52, and he intercepted four passes in one game against the Chicago Cardinals as a rookie in 1949. He also played one season each with the Washington Redskins and Los Angeles

Rams. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and was named the MVP of the game in 1953.

Doll returned to the Lions as a coach from 1963-64 and again from 1978-88.

He was a four-year letterman playing halfback at Southern California, where he played in the 1945 Rose Bowl when the Trojans beat Tennessee and again in 1949 when they lost to Michigan. Doll led the Trojans in rushing in 1944, ‘47 and ‘48.

He ran for 1,067 career yards and led the team in receptions and scoring in ‘48.

Doll missed the 1948 season while serving in the Marines.

and traffic.

Anderson said the county Planning Division’s to-do list for this budget year already includes addressing whether commercial events should be allowed on farmland, but planners are already extremely busy this year with projects such as overhauling the county’s land use blueprint, called the comprehensive plan.

“We’ve gone through significant staffing reductions, and we’re on a reduced workweek, so our capacity is limited,” Anderson said.

In August, a Circuit Court judge found Brown guilty and sentenced her to a $500 fine for violating county land use laws by renting out her property for a wedding. Brown charged a

Oregon State Police traffic cases end up in circuit court, and any fees collected go into the state’s general fund. Fees from traffic issues sorted out in municipal court or Deschutes County Justice Court, meanwhile, go to the county or are split between the county and a city, if a Redmond or Bend officer writes the ticket.

“To me, it’s not a success if we’re writing more citations,” Carney said. “The whole concept with the (traffic) details is to be high-visibility and gain compliance.”

In some cases, officers are able to stop people suspected of other serious offenses. About a half-hour into his traffic shift on Friday, Brown heard a call on the radio about a suspected drunken driver. He spotted the vehicle headed north on Highway 97 and after talking to the driver and performing a field sobriety test, he took the man to jail.

fee of $2,500 for the June 2009 wedding, according a court document.

At the August sentencing, Hunnicutt also entered guilty pleas on Brown’s behalf for three more cases in which the county alleged Brown held weddings on her property in violation of county code. Circuit Court Judge Barbara Haslinger decided not to impose fees for those cases, but said if Brown violates county code by renting her property for weddings again, she should have to pay the full fine. The maximum penalty under state law for the Class A infractions is a fine of $720.

Because the traffic operations happen in different locations, on different days and at different times, officials said it’s hard to use numbers to tell if things are getting better on the road.

But Lt. Nathan Garibay of the Redmond Police Department said he sees the traffic operations as an important opportunity for local agencies to check in with each other on a common concern — and show people traveling through Central Oregon that following traffic rules is a priority.

“Drivers cross jurisdictional boundaries all the time, going from Redmond to Bend to La Pine,” he said. “It’s really about helping people, reminding people about safe driving habits throughout the entire region, and we get positive bleed-over in every community.”

Group denied bid to halt roundups of wild horses

RENO, Nev. — A federal judge has denied a request by animal rights advocates to halt roundups of wild horses after the federal government quietly gathered nearly 400 mustangs at a national wildlife refuge on the Nevada-Oregon line.

Grass Roots Horse, a mustang advocacy group, had sought a restraining order against ongoing roundups.

U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks on Monday denied its request for a temporary restraining order, but has not yet set a date to hear arguments in the case.

The group had amended its complaint Friday to include details of the latest roundup at the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge last week. It alleged that their observer was harassed by the helicopter contractor and federal employees, and that the observer discovered a gravesite strewn with the bones of horses killed during roundups.

“The Fish and Wildlife Service has created an avenue for horses to be gathered without public notice and without any accountability,” said Laura Leigh, a spokeswoman for Grass Roots Horse. “If they are doing nothing wrong, then why all the secrecy?”

Paul Steblein, the agency’s project leader in Sheldon, confirmed 396 horses were removed from the refuge last week. He said the roundup was kept “low and quiet” for the safety of the workers and the horses because spectators at the site increase the chance of injury for humans and animals.

“We didn’t send out any advance warning, but we’ve had gathers every year in September,” Steblein said. “We didn’t deny it. When asked, we admitted it.”

Steblein said the roundup was part of a management plan approved in 2008 that calls for reducing the horse population through 2011.

Father, son go on trial for ’08 officer killings

By JEFF BARNARD

Associated Press Writer

SALEM — After the threatening phone call to a Wells Fargo bank employee, Oregon State Police bomb technician Bill Hakim examined the supposed explosive device: a cell phone atop a package containing trash Bruce bags, all in a Turnidge garbage bin.

Not a bomb, he concluded.

A few hours later, he was back to X-ray a green metal box found in the bushes outside the Joshua adjacent West Turnidge Coast Bank office in the Willamette Valley town of Woodburn. Not a bomb, he concluded.

Hakim and Woodburn police Lt. Tom Tennant took the box into the building and tried to take it apart. A bomb inside the box exploded, killing them and severely injuring Woodburn Po-

lice Chief Scott Russell, who lost his right leg.

Nearly two years later, a father and son go on trial Wednesday, accused of aggravated murder and other charges. They could face the death penalty.

Prosecutors have alleged the bomb that went off Dec. 12, 2008, was part of a robbery attempt, and they’ve indicated they plan to introduce evidence showing the suspects harbored anti-government feelings.

The defense strategy will be outlined in opening statements scheduled to begin today.

Bruce A. Turnidge, 59, had a string of failed businesses in Oregon and Nevada, and his son, Joshua A. Turnidge, 34, a Navy veteran, ran a biodiesel facility with his uncle.

The family has deep roots in the Willamette Valley. Bruce Turnidge’s father once owned a major mint farm in the valley but lost it when Bruce was just 18, forcing him and his brothers to go out on their own.

Records show Bruce Turnidge lived on a farm in Nevada and had a struggling excavating business from the late 1990s until 2006. He also had a dispute with a rancher over ownership of a mobile home. He moved

back to Oregon in 2006 and ran up a string of debts.

A search warrant affidavit obtained by The Oregonian quoted a friend of Bruce and Joshua Turnidge as saying they talked regularly about robbing banks and shared anti-government feelings. Police quoted Ronald Laughlin as saying that at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in 1994, Joshua Turnidge told him about making a bomb threat to a Woodburn bank and demanding money.

On the morning of Dec. 12, 2008, court documents say, a man called the Wells Fargo branch in Woodburn and warned everyone to leave the building or die.

The caller added that a cell phone would be in a garbage bin outside, which he would call with further instructions.

Local police found the phone in the garbage bin on top of a package. Hakim, a 51-year-old trooper, and an FBI bomb technician examined the package and determined it wasn’t a bomb.

Later that day, as police continued a search that began with the morning call, the metal utility box, painted green, was found in the bushes at the West Coast Bank branch.

O B Ex-editor’s wife pleads Eugene cuts response guilty, avoids jail time to barking dogs MEDFORD — The wife of a former Oregon newspaper editor has pleaded guilty to theft and forgery charges to avoid jail time.

The Mail Tribune reported that 43-year-old Lori Bolsinger, wife of former Ashland Daily Tidings editor Andrew Scot Bolsinger, was sentenced Monday to 18 months’ probation.

Lori Bolsinger also turned over $7,000 that her attorney said was her personal responsibility in a larger debt.

A statement by a woman who said she lost $123,000 she invested with the Bolsingers was read in court.

Scot Bolsinger was fired in February 2008 from the Daily Tidings. He was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to theft and forgery charges, but was already serving nearly two years on a sex abuse conviction involving a teenage girl.

Eugene launches free downtown parking EUGENE — Workers are removing 288 parking meters from a 12-square block area of downtown Eugene.

Businesses hope two hours of free parking will bring in more shoppers. Parking enforcement officers will mark tires with chalk and ticket cars that exceed the limit.

The Register-Guard reports a 75-cents-an-hour parking charge remains for curbside parking elsewhere in Eugene and in city parking lots.

Portland high school redesign vote looms PORTLAND — Portland Superintendent Carole Smith has proposed closing or shrinking four high schools to make the remaining seven large high schools stronger.

The Oregonian reports the school board is scheduled to vote on her plan in two weeks. The goal is to improve the courses offered to most minority and lowincome students and reduce the dropout rate.

The school board has been discussing a high school redesign for two years.

EUGENE — The racket of barking dogs in Eugene is the sound of budget cuts. Lane County Animal Services no longer responds to barking dog complaints.

The agency cut an animal control officer position earlier this year because of a $100,000 funding reduction.

The county official who oversees animal control, Karen Gaffney, told The Register-Guard that officers are busy responding to loose dog or animal abuse cases.

Residents who complain about barking dogs are told to talk to their neighbors.

Oregon State Hospital, fired doctor settle SALEM — A doctor who said he was forced to resign from Oregon State Hospital after the death of a patient is back on the job.

The Statesman Journal reports Dr. Michael Robins resumed patient care duties Monday under a negotiated settlement to avoid a legal battle. Part of the deal requires him to resign by Jan. 15. The hospital will give him a “neutral reference.”

Robinson said he was unfairly pressured to resign in July during the investigation into the death of a neglected patient with heart disease.

Boy accused of taking gun, ammo to school BANKS — The Washington County district attorney has filed six charges against a 15-year-old boy accused of bringing a gun and ammunition to school.

The North Plains boy was arrested last Thursday at Banks High School after a 14-year-old girl told a counselor the boy had threatened to shoot her and another 15-year-old boy.

The Oregonian says school officials called police, who found an unloaded semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in the boy’s backpack. The district attorney has filed charges that include unlawful possession of a firearm, unauthorized use of a weapon and menacing.

The boy is expected to remain in a juvenile detention facility until a hearing set for Oct. 13.

One of the largest and oldest amateur golf tournaments in the Pacific Northwest next summer will be played in Central Oregon for the first time in the event’s 100-plus-year history.

The 110th annual Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Men’s Amateur Championship is scheduled to be hosted by Tetherow Golf Club in Bend on July 11-16, 2011.

The Men’s Amateur is the highest in profile of two PNGA tournaments slated for this region in 2011. Black Butte Ranch’s Big Meadow course is scheduled to host the PNGA Senior and Super Senior Men’s Amateur, next June 7-9.

The Pacific Northwest Golf Association tournament typically attracts the top amateur golfers from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia and beyond.

“We’re excited to have it,” says Martin Chuck, Tetherow’s director of golf. “It was just a matter of reaching out, and (the PNGA) thought it would be a great idea. And now we are hosting it.”

The Men’s Amateur, which was first played in 1899 (the tournament took a three-year hiatus during World War II), will bring a rich history to Central Oregon.

The list of past champions includes Tiger Woods, who won the tournament in 1994, and current PGA Tour golfers Jeff Quinney (1998, 2000) and Ben Crane (1997), both of whom are from Oregon.

Rodgers expected to be TIRE SALE back as Beavers regroup 32EE6C:6D Next up

By Anne M. Peterson

• Arizona State at Oregon State • When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

• TV: FSNW

Oregon State has been here before, with discouraging losses to open a season. Yet the team has reason to be optimistic.

First, the Beavers have a history of overcoming slow starts, and second, James Rodgers should be fine for Saturday’s game against Arizona State.

Rodgers suffered a concussion in Oregon State’s 37-24 loss last Saturday at Boise State.

Coach Mike Riley said Rodgers will be held out of practice this week, following the NCAA protocol for dealing with concussions, but he should be able to play against the Sun Devils.

Rodgers, who is averaging 184.3 all-purpose yards a game, is one of Oregon State’s top playmakers as the team embarks on the Pac-10 season.

The Beavers emerged from the preseason at 1-2, with losses to No. 5 TCU and No. 3 Boise State. They beat Louisville 35-28 at home in between.

THE BULLETIN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2010

EUGENE — Chip Kelly, second-year head football coach at the University of Oregon, has agreed to a six-year contract extension, the university reported Tuesday.

According to a UO Chip Kelly release, Kelly, who last season guided the Ducks to the Pac10 Conference championship and a berth in the Rose Bowl, agreed to a deal designed to keep him as Oregon’s head coach through at least the 2015 season.

The total value of the sixyear agreement was reported to be $20.5 million.

The 2010 Ducks are currently ranked No. 4 nationally in both the Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls. Their 4-0 record makes Kelly, 46, the first coach in the UO football program’s 115 seasons to post 14 wins in his first 17 games at the Oregon helm.

According to Tuesday’s release, all money used to compensate Kelly — and all of the university’s coaches and staff — comes from athletics department funds and not from UO general funds or state taxpayer dollars.

S B Football • NFL, union discuss 18-game season, rookie wages: The NFL and its players’ union discussed a proposal to change to an 18-game regular season during a bargaining session Tuesday. The league and the NFL Players Association issued a joint statement about the meeting, saying that negotiations “focused on several matters,” including the longer regular season, a rookie wage scale and improvements for retired players. Tuesday’s talks took place in Washington, where the NFLPA has its headquarters. The current collective bargaining agreement expires in March, and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has said he believes owners are preparing for a lockout. League owners and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell want to expand the regular season from 16 games to 18, and cut the preseason from four games to two. Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian said Monday he thinks such a switch is a “fait accompli;” the union has not said it wants to make a change.

Goodell has pointed out that the league does not need approval from the players in order to extend the regular season.

• Michigan State coach to return Saturday: Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio plans to coach his team Saturday when the No. 24 Spartans host No. 11 Wisconsin, two weeks after he was hospitalized following a mild heart attack. Looking upbeat and even wisecracking about eating more vegetables, Dantonio announced his intentions Tuesday after showing up at the team’s weekly news conference. “I’m going to ease back into this much like anybody would after any injury,” Dantonio said. “I’m going to listen to our doctors, but I am going to ease back into this and do something daily with our football team.” Dantonio said he expects to be in a coaching box during the game, although later in the day he indicated the staff would work out logistics as the week goes on.

• Seattle signs WR Stokley: The Seattle Seahawks have signed former Denver wide receiver Brandon Stokley, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates. Seattle made the move on Tuesday, along with signing offensive linemen Allen Barbre and Breno Giacomini. The Seahawks released running back/fullback Quinton Ganther and offensive linemen Mike Gibson and Mansfield Wrotto to make room. Stokley played in all 16 games last season for Denver but had just 19 catches.

Horse racing • 1998 Derby, Preakness winner Real Quiet dies: Real Quiet, the 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner who missed a Triple Crown by a nose, has died at 15.

The former champion 3-year-old died Monday following a fall in his paddock, Penn Ridge Farms owner Mike Jester said. The horse broke his neck when his left shoulder hit the ground. Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, owned by Mike Pegram and ridden by Kent Desormeaux, Real Quiet narrowly missed the Triple Crown a dozen years ago. He beat Victory Gallop in both the Derby and the Preakness before Victory Gallop edged him at the wire in the Belmont.

• ’09 Horse of Year Rachel Alexandra retired: Rachel Alexandra’s undefeated season in 2009 won her Horse of the Year honors and electrified a down-on-its-luck industry. Though the sensational filly is leaving racing’s stage, a future breeding date with another superstar could make things interesting. Having won only two of five races this year, Rachel Alexandra was retired Tuesday, with co-owner Jess Jackson saying it was time to “reward her with a less stressful life.” He said she would be bred to Curlin, the 2007 and 2008 Horse of the Year, at Jackson’s Stonestreet Farm in Lexington, Ky. The popular 4-year-old Rachel caused quite a stir last year when she won all eight of her races. Ridden by Calvin Borel, she beat fillies by 20 lengths in the Kentucky Oaks and 19 lengths in the Mother Goose Stakes before taking on the boys and winning the Preakness, Haskell Invitational and Woodward Stakes. Rachel had 13 wins in 19 starts and earned more than $3.4 million.

Equestrian • Netherlands takes team dressage gold: The Netherlands won the gold medal

in team Grand Prix dressage at the World Equestrian Games on Tuesday in Lexington, Ky., despite having a horse disqualified. Britain was second and Germany beat out the United States for bronze.

Basketball • U.S. women win: Sylvia Fowles scored 15 points and Diana Taurasi added 14 to help the unbeaten United States rout Belarus at the women’s basketball world championship in the Czech Republic.

Candice Dupree had 12, and Swin Cash scored 11 in another balanced offensive effort by the U.S., which shot 68 percent. The Americans (5-0) will play rival Australia tonight in the final game of the second round.

• Deal sending Anthony to Nets is ‘dead’: A four-way deal that would have sent the Denver Nuggets’ Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey is “dead,” a person with knowledge of the discussions said Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the trade. Anthony took the court with his Nuggets teammates on the first day of training camp Tuesday. But his days in Denver could very well be numbered even after the four-team deal that also would have included Charlotte and Utah collapsed. The Nuggets could still listen to offers. Anthony has yet to sign off on a three-year, $65 million extension that’s been on the table since June, leading the Nuggets to explore trade options.

Baseball • Hamilton anticipates playing for Texas this weekend: Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton is swinging and catching. Hamilton took 20 swings with his own bat off a tee and then 20 swings off tossed pitches in the batting cage Tuesday, a day after hitting off a tee with a fungo bat. He then shagged balls in the outfield during batting practice. Hamilton, the majors’ leading hitter who hasn’t played since Sept. 4 because of two broken ribs, anticipates playing a game this weekend before the playoffs begin next week for the AL West champion Rangers. The Rangers outfielder is hitting .361 with 31 home runs and 97 RBIs. • Rays giving away tickets for home finale: Spurred by fan reaction to All-Star Evan Longoria’s criticism of Tampa Bay’s home attendance, the AL East-leading Rays are making 20,000 free tickets available for Wednesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. Longoria called Monday’s turnout of just 12,446 for a game in which the Rays had a chance to clinch the second playoff berth in franchise history “disheartening.” All-Star pitcher David Price weighed in on the subject on Twitter, calling the small crowd “embarrassing.”

Team president Matt Silverman said the club had been discussing the possibility of giving away tickets for the Rays’ home finale, but probably wouldn’t have actually done it if the players hadn’t spoken out.

Silverman said the Rays had received mixed reaction from fans in phone calls and e-mail. Attendance has long been an issue for the cost-conscious Rays.

Their average of 22,913 through 79 dates, ranked 22nd in the major leagues.

• DuPuy quits as baseball’s chief operating officer: Bob DuPuy has resigned as Major League Baseball’s chief operating officer following 8½ years as commissioner Bud Selig’s top aide. The move is effective Oct. 31, and Selig doesn’t currently intend to replace him. DuPuy was Selig’s outside lawyer when he became executive vice president for administration in 1998. He was promoted to president in March 2002 and replaced Paul Beeston.

Relations between Selig and DuPuy have become strained in recent years.

• Baseball is among sports cut by Cal: Citing the economic downturn and decreased state funding, the University of California announced Tuesday that it will eliminate four varsity sports programs — including baseball — at the end of the 2011 academic year. Men’s and women’s gymnastics and women’s lacrosse also will be cut, and the men’s rugby team will be reduced to a club sport. Cal’s baseball team, founded in 1892, earned an NCAA regional berth last season. It has won two national titles and made five trips to the College World Series.

Kearney

Continued from D1 She blasted a shot to the upper-left corner of the net from approximately 25 yards out.

Madison added a score of her own in the 21st minute, streaking toward the goal from midfield before taking a Molly McCool pass and beating Bend’s goalkeeper one-on-one to give Mountain View a 3-0 advantage. The Cougars tacked on one more score before the half when Allie Cummins tapped in a goal after a Mountain View corner kick.

While the Cougars did not score after halftime, Mountain View’s offense never let up against the Lava Bears. Mountain View posted 12 shots on goal Tuesday, while Bend recorded just four shots on goal.

“Our midfield is very, very strong,” said first-year Cougars coach Grant Mattox, who previously was an assistant at Bend High. “We talk a lot about keeping the (shutout). You’re not going to lose the game if they don’t score.”

The Lava Bears (1-1 IMC, 2-22), who are in rebuilding mode

Continued from D1 The Fall Tour is an annual proam tournament held by the PGA of America’s Oregon Section. The 2010 edition is being played this week at four Central Oregon golf courses: Awbrey Glen, Broken Top Club in Bend, Eagle Crest Resort’s Ridge Course in Redmond, and Black Butte Ranch’s Big Meadow course.

“Sleeping in your own bed does not get overrated when you are on the road all the time,” says Kearney, who hs been married for two years to his wife, Jodi.

But he has played his best golf this year away from Central Oregon.

In May, he finished in a tie for ninth place in May at the Washington Open in Bellevue. In July, he was second at the Rosauers Open in Spokane. And in August, he tied for second at the Northwest Open in Walla Walla, Wash. All three tournaments are considered major championships in the Pacific Northwest PGA. Ironically, Kearney’s worst finish in a Northwest major came at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond, where in June he finished in a tie for 21st place in Oregon Open.

But Kearney also won the Wildhorse Pro-Am in Pendleton in July, and the Callaway Golf Pacific Northwest Assistants in Medina, Wash., in August. And he added a fourth-place finish two weeks ago at the Montana Open in Missoula.

He tried to qualify for two tournaments on the Nationwide Tour — the PGA Tour’s main developmental circuit — held last month in Salt Lake City and Boise, Idaho, and shot 66 each time. But neither score was low enough to qualify.

Kearney’s consistency this year is something his fellow club pros have noticed.

“Other than (Jeff) Coston (a Washington club pro and former PGA Tour player), who has had a really good year this year, I have to say he has been the best,” says Brian Nosler, a Vancouver, Wash., pro who is among the top players in the region and is playing this week in the Fall Tour. “Rob Gibbons (a Molalla club pro) has had a really good year, and Kearney.

“He (Kearney) is in the top three every week, it seems like.”

And the money has piled up for Kearney, at least by club pro standards. He won more than $7,000 at the Rosauers, and $6,000 at the Wildhorse Pro-Am. He has earned thousands of dollars at other tournaments, too.

How much has he won?

“People keep asking me,” Kearney says with a smile. “I should give a W-2 (income tax form) to all the people who ask me. But I don’t know. It’s been fairly decent though.”

Those earnings do not include tax deductions, nor do they account for travel expenses. But the winnings have been enough for Kearney to pay the entry fee for the PGA Tour’s National Qualifying School ($4,500 for Q-School’s first round), in which he plans to compete next month.

And he is hoping to have enough left to head to Southern California, “where it’s warmer to play golf for the winter,” he says.

Kearney’s success this year has been just what he needed to bounce back from 2008, when he made the developmental Canadian Tour but struggled with injury and the grind of all the travel to make just one cut in 11 tries.

His hot play this year has given him confidence, a commodity in golf. And Kearney has a calmness about him these days.

“Golf will beat you up if you let it,” he says. “No matter how good you are and how solid, there is always something.

PREP ROUNDUP

Sisters volleyball rebounds with victory Bulletin Staff Report

SISTERS — Stung by a loss to Burns on Saturday, Sisters High quickly returned to its winning ways Tuesday night in a SkyEm League match against Elmira.

The Outlaws defeated the Falcons 25-13, 25-8, 25-18 to improve to 2-0 in league play.

Senior setter Kaity Douglass made five digs and posted 21 assists for Sisters, while teammate Megan Minke adding seven kills. Jenna Loheed recorded nine kills for the visiting Falcons.

“We’re focusing on our mental toughness,” said Sisters coach Diane Bremer.

“I’m definitely getting the leadership I need from our three seniors.”

Those seniors, Douglass, Mary Jane Schulte and Marisa Calavan, have a chance to win three Class 4A state titles in four years.

The Outlaws host La Pine tonight before traveling to Cottage Grove next Monday.

Beavers Continued from D1 Oregon State hasn’t had a winning record in September for seven straight seasons.

However, they are 37-14 from October to December since 2004 — and in five of six of those years the team earned a bowl berth.

The Beavers were 2-2 last year when they visited Arizona State on Oct. 3 and came away with a 28-17 victory. They won six of the next seven games to set up the Civil War against Oregon for the Pac-10 championship and a Rose Bowl berth, which the Ducks claimed.

“They seem to get better as the year goes along,” said Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson, who coached at Oregon State from 1999-02. “They seem to get to this point and then go on a roll.”

While Riley said Tuesday that he hopes Oregon State has been strengthened by the level of competition in a brutal nonconfer-

Toledo added a second goal nearly 20 minutes later on a penalty kick. The Cowboys (0-0-1 SD 1, 0-4-2 overall) continue district action Thursday, hosting Roosevelt High of Portland.

ence schedule, the team cannot rely on history to tilt the balance to the win column.

“You know from experience and your knowledge from the past that it can be done.

But it is certainly not given to you by right of passage. You have to earn it,” Riley said.

“Those teams persevered. They recognized where they need to go, what they needed to do to get better, and they did, so the team got better.

“But we’ve got a ton of things we’ve got to get better on ... and nobody can make the assumption that just because those teams did that, that this team’s automatically going to be given the passage to do it. We’ve got to prove it.”

Oregon State, ranked No. 24 last week, fell out of the top 25 after last weekend’s loss to the Broncos.

Rodgers, a senior flanker and the older brother of running back Jacquizz Rodgers, has been consistent for the Beavers despite the tough nonconference foes. But he was injured early in the third quarter against

Boise State.

Rodgers was blocking on a scramble by quarterback Ryan Katz when he collided helmet-to-helmet with Boise State safety Winston Venable. Rodgers immediately fell to the turf as trainers from both teams rushed the field.

He was prone on the 45 yard line for a few minutes before being helped up by Jacquizz. It was said that he paced the sidelines afterward in search of his helmet, which the trainers took away.

Rodgers returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Despite the injury, Rodgers is ranked fifth in the nation for all-purpose yard average so far this season. He surpassed leader Ken Simonton on Oregon State’s career allpurpose yards list with 5,630.

The Western Athletic Conference was reviewing Venable’s hit on Rodgers. Boise State coach Chris Petersen said simply that Venable was “running hard,” and the hit occurred.

Tetherow Continued from D1 The tournament is structured in much the same way as the U.S. Amateur, starting with two rounds of stroke play to cut the field to 64 golfers, followed by six rounds of single-elimination match play.

Chuck says that Tetherow — a twisting links golf course loaded with obstacles — particularly lends itself to match play, in which a high score on a particular hole is less punitive than in stroke play.

“It will be perfect at this place,” Chuck said. “There are so many risk/reward opportunities out here in match play, it’s perfect.”

The Senior Amateur, first played in 1965, is a 54-hole stroke-play tournament for golfers age 55 and older.

While not as well known as the PNGA Men’s Amateur, the Senior Amateur is also considered a major tournament on the PNGA schedule. It has been in Central Oregon before: in 2000 at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club, and before that in 1993 at Black Butte Ranch.

And Black Butte Ranch is happy to have it back.

“Big Meadow, from a senior standpoint, is a great golf course,”

Black Butte Ranch pro leading way at Fall Tour Black Butte Ranch’s director of instruction continues to pile up cash at the Fall Tour.

George Mack Jr. shot a 3-underpar 69 Tuesday at Bend’s Broken Top Club, to tie with Sean Arey, of Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis, for the top two-day total of 7 under par.

Mack and Arey have each won $1,225 for winning the two-day portion of the tournament, tying for first place during Monday’s first round and tying for sixth place Tuesday.

The Fall Tour is hosted by four different Central Oregon golf courses. The tournament is split into a pair of two-round events and includes club professionals and amateurs. Cash prizes are awarded for the lowest rounds each day, lowest two-day totals, team competitions and other contests.

Mark Keating, a pro from Astoria Golf & Country Club, carded the lowest second-round score with a 6-under-par 66. Brandon Kearney, an assistant pro at Bend Golf and Country Club, and Brian Nosler of Vanco Driving Range in Vancouver, Wash., tied for second place at 5-under 67.

Scott Cravens, of Crave Golf Learning Center in Redmond, tied Jim Wilkinson of Langdon Farms Golf Club in Aurora, for first place in the senior division after each shot 3-under 69.

Jesse Erlich of Trysting Tree, Matt Notdurft of Corvallis Country Club, and J.P. Praisler of Broadmoor Golf Course in Portland each shot 2-under 70 tie for the second-round win in the amateur gross division.

The tournament continues today at Eagle Crest Resort’s Ridge Course in Redmond. Spectators are welcome and admission is free.

— Bulletin staff report “I don’t know if it’s just maturity or just learning how to accept things better, but you can’t control everything. Unfortunately with golf, you like to try and do that, but golf wins more often than you do.”

Kearney has already earned more than $800 through two days of the Fall Tour, and he has two more days to play. Then he will concentrate on October’s Q-School, a pressure-soaked grinder played in three stages for an opportunity to make it on the PGA or Nationwide tours.

Kearney played in Q-School last year, but he did not advance to the second stage.

“It’s just a constant process,” Kearney says of playing golf professionally. “If I continue to get better each year, then that’s a goal achieved. It sounds simple, but that’s basically it.”

At least one of his fellow pros will be rooting for him at Q-School.

“Hopefully he goes out full time (on a pro golf tour) and leaves us alone,” Nosler jokes.

Kearney’s strong showing this year will not matter at Q-School.

But he is hoping his strongest finish is yet to come.

“It’s just a matter of playing well at the right time,” Kearney says.

“Unfortunately, your job interview for being a PGA Tour or Nationwide Tour professional is three weeks out of the year and how you play (during that time). They don’t really care how you’ve done the rest of the year.”

Tetherow raises $3,000 for charity Tetherow Golf Club raised about $3,000 during its charity golf day, the Bend golf course said Tuesday.

The course donated all but $40 (the combined cost of a forecaddie and a golf cart) of each greens fee collected last Sunday to the charity of choice for each golfer.

The cost to play an 18-hole round ranged from $89 to $110.

says Charles Kingsbaker, director of sales and marketing at Black Butte Ranch. “It’s a very walkable golf course and a traditional Northwest design.

“We’re excited. It fits a good niche for us.”

The PNGA Amateur is open to golfers with a 4.4 handicap or lower.

Golfers must have a handicap of 22.4 or lower to play in the PNGA Senior Amateur. The Super Senior is open to players age 65 and older with a 26.4 handicap or lower.

The opening tee shot is a dogleg left, and while players can make the hole shorter with a drive down the left, there are three deep bunkers on that side where the hole turns.

The green is guarded by two bunkers, with a runoff areas to the right and behind the green.

he Ryder Cup – featuring the best of United States and European professional golfers – is a biennial team competi-

tion. Although most of this year’s American team is playing better 4

golf than the European team heading into the matches, the Europe-

EUROPE

Par 5 Yards 610 The drive should not only be long but straight, as this is a narrow fairway with deep bunkers dotting both sides.

As many birdies can be made laying up as going for the green because of the contours and the steep run-offs, especially to the right of the green, which can send a ball some 50 feet away and well below the green.

Par 4 Yards 499

c-captain’s pick

Par 4 Yards 458

The hole can measure some 665 yards, although it is expected to play from a forward tee to make the green accessible in two shots.

Tee shot must avoid two bunkers on the right for players wanting to reach the green. The second shot must avoid a big bunker to the right and a deep pot bunker on the left.

This starts perhaps the most compelling stretch at Celtic Manor. It goes the opposite direction of No. 11, again with water down the left side, with more water to the right on the second shot. The approach is slightly uphill, and the ball is unlikely to travel as far in cooler temperatures.

Par 3 Yards 211 The longest green on the course, with a severe slope from right to left.

The green has one bunker on the left, and five bunkers short and right.

Par 3 Yards 189 Par 3 Yards 213

Par 4 Yards 461

A fairly straightforward par 3 with a bunker guarding the left side of the green and a smaller bunker to the right that has been deepened and moved closer to the green.

This turns back toward the clubhouse into the prevailing wind. The choice is to drive short of the bunkers, although it becomes harder to hold the green. With the contours of this green, it doesn't take much for the slightest miss to roll off the edges of the putting surface.

Par 4 Yards 439

Par 4 Yards 433 A dogleg right with a stream running down the right side and then in front of the green. Missing the fairway makes it extremely difficult to hold the green, which has several run-off areas.

The longest par 4 on the course and likely into a prevailing wind.

The fairway is narrow, with a bunker on the left side that only the big hitters can carry.

A tee shot to the right is likely to catch another bunker. The green is tucked into a hill and guarded by three bunkers.

Par 5 Yards 580

Par 4 Yards 422 Another hole that bends to the right with the lake down the entire right side of this mediumlenghth hole.

Bunkers could catch a tee shot that runs through the fairway. Two bunkers guard the left and front of the green, with a deep bunker to the back. The toughest hole location is to the right, where a slight miss could send the ball into the water.

Par 3 Yards 189

This could be the most exciting hole at Celtic Manor, with a green that can be reached from the tee, provided players can go over a ridge of trees to an elevated putting surface. Anything left of the green could go into a creek, while right leaves a difficult chip and putt. The green is guarded by two bunkers, one on the left so deep that it's tough to see the pin.

Fairway bunkers to the left and right, including one at about 300 yards and sticks out into the fairway. Two bunkers to the right of the green, which is heavily contoured. A steep slope has been added to the right of the green, which will send the ball well below the green and leave a difficult chip back up the slope.

Par 3 Yards 210

The tee shot must clear water, although two bunkers to the back are no bargain.

Playing from the back bunker brings the water short of the green into play for the second time, as the green slopes toward the lake.

One of the smallest greens on the course, it slopes from back to front and from right to left, and it is surrounded by bunkers. It is tough to gauge the wind on this hole.

Par 5 Yards 575

Par 5 Yards 562 The shortest par 5 at Celtic Manor, and similar to the ninth with water down the entire left side of the hole. Tee shot must avoid a bunker to the right for any shot at reaching the green in two. Bunkers at staggered distances protect the front and right of the green, with a slope behind the bunker on the right that leads toward the water.

Par 4 Yards 485 A new tee makes it tough to go over the water, meaning the tee shot must be aimed to the left and creates a tougher angle at the green, which is guarded by water down the left side.

The forward tee is being used to make the green reachable in two. The elevated green is just beyond the water, with large bunkers on either side. The bunker on the left side makes for a tough up-and-own when the hole location is front right. Should provide plenty of birdies, while a par most likely will not be good enough.

Nerves are tested as nowhere else at Ryder Cup

By Larry Dorman

New York Times News Service

NEWPORT, Wales — For a sport with no collisions, no punches or kicks thrown, no speeding projectiles, parachutes or oxygen tanks, golf can surely be hair-raising, especially every two years when it goes visceral at the Ryder Cup. Playing for country, team and pride produces a pressure unlike any that golfers experience in tournament play, even the four majors, and it is exacerbated by partisan crowds.

No one assembled here this week at Celtic Manor for the 38th Ryder Cup is immune. Like a cold mist rolling off a moor, pressure seeps through cracks in confidence, and it can start before the first tee shot.

“There are veterans that I’ve talked to and they say it’s tenfold of however nervous you’ve ever been,” said Bubba Watson, one of five rookies on the United States team, which will face a European

team that includes six rookies.

There have been instances when players walked to the first tee and suddenly realized they would not be able to draw back the club. In 2004, Chris DiMarco, known as a fiery competitor, was supposed to open the afternoon foursomes match but was so nervous that he asked his partner, Jay Haas, to hit the first tee shot.

Tom Lehman, a vice captain for this year’s United States team, said he could barely put his ball on a tee for the first shot in the 1995 matches at Oak Hill in Rochester. Lehman said that he was not one to get sick to his stomach when he got nervous but that he “was so shaky and so nervous” that morning he could have. Shaking and being nervous do not necessarily lead to failure. DiMarco and Haas won their match that day in 2004, 3 and 2, over Miguel Angel Jimenez and Thomas Levet.

Lehman estimated that he smashed a draw around the corner of the first hole

more than 300 yards with a 3-wood that day in 1995. He and his partner, this year’s American captain, Corey Pavin, went on to defeat Europe’s power pairing of Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, the captain of this year’s European team.

“You keep telling yourself, swing slow, swing slow, swing slow, and I’m sure it was a blur,” Lehman said. “That first shot was harrowing.”

Tiger Woods might face the most pressure in this year’s event. Each time Pavin has been asked about Woods, including Monday, he has taken pains to put him under the protective team umbrella.

Woods, he said, is “one of the 12 guys on the team” and his responsibilities will be “the same as everyone else’s.”

It is almost a given that Woods, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, will face some heckling from the huge partisan crowds about his well-publicized divorce and the events that precipitated it.

Pavin has chosen not to further expose

Woods by placing additional expectations or responsibilities on him.

Woods is not alone in facing pressure. Consider Padraig Harrington, whom Montgomerie chose despite his winless season and form that was less than scintillating until his closing 65 on Sunday at the Vivendi Cup. Harrington has shown himself to be as tough under pressure as any other player in recent history, winning three major championships in a 13-month span in 2007 and 2008.

One reason Harrington was picked was for his ability to provide perspective when the caldron of Ryder Cup pressure begins to boil. Harrington played in his first Ryder Cup in 1999 at the Country Club at Brookline, Mass.

“You get so nervous that it just all goes into a blur,” he added. “And you just kind of have to go with — I’ve got to go. It’s not like you’re going to stand there all day, so you might as well hit it.

So, yeah, the height of nervousness, as

I said.”

It will probably be the height of nervousness for Rickie Fowler, the 21-yearold rookie from Southern California, and Rory McIlroy, the 21-year-old rookie from Northern Ireland. More than 50,000 fans a day are expected at Celtic Manor, roars exploding during the four morning and four afternoon matches.

“Deafening,” Pavin said. “Especially if the European team gets off to a fast start. What I’ll be stressing to my guys is that our goal is for it to be quiet. The quieter it is, the better it will be for us.”

Even then, there will be hair-raising moments, exposed nerve endings, constant pressure. Because every match will be like being in the last group at a major, with, perhaps, a twist.

“When you’re in the last group at a major, you know you’re playing well,” Padraig Harrington said. “What makes the Ryder Cup so tough is that it’s asking for players to play good on that given week, which is a tough test.”

Eat local

year-round Feasting on Oregon’s bounty doesn’t have to end when farmers markets close

By Marielle Gallagher n the summertime, it’s easy to find food produced in Oregon via farmers markets, local produce stands or community-supported agriculture programs, also known as CSAs. But by mid-October, farmers markets and most CSA programs will close until spring.

At most CSAs, members pay a lump sum upfront and collect boxes of produce from local farms throughout the growing season.

An option for consumers looking for local food in the winter is Agricultural Connections, a year-round, Bend-based CSA. Founded by former Bend resident Andrew Adams in January, AC partners with several farms in Oregon to buy vegetables, fruit, dairy products and more on a 52-weeks-a-year basis.

The manager and sole employee of AC, Elizabeth Weigand, 30, says one of the differ-

Customers order via the website www. bendcsa.com, where they can click on “Visit The Shop” to see grocery items listed by farm of origin. There are two sizes for the “boxes” of produce, individual ($20) and family ($28), and there are side items that can be added, such as eggs, mushrooms, milk, half ’n half, yogurt, 15 types of cheese, butter, meat, jam and pet food.

Fall fashion look features a faux fur jacket from La Garconne.

Deliberating the fur/faux fur trend? Some say it looks cheap; others, that it’s simply trendy.

I agree with both points of view.

The fur — and much more politically correct faux fur — trend is in full force this fall, coming in everything from swing coats to duffel bags. But I also think that faux fur can easily go very wrong if made of some cheap acrylic mess that looks more like an old Chewbacca costume than a stylish piece of clothing.

If you’re going to buy a jacket or cardigan trimmed with or made entirely of faux fur this season, first make sure it doesn’t feel like

a can of Aqua Net was let loose all over it. That tacky-to-the-touch feeling equals tacky to the sight as well. The texture should be as soft and plush as possible.

The pieces I particularly love when it comes to faux fur are jackets that have removable faux fur collars. An army green bomber jacket from Rebecca Taylor ($495), for instance, has an optional faux fur collar that looks real and lays flat so the wearer doesn’t look like she’s giving a piggyback ride to a Muppet. Plus the jacket provides options — collar-on makes a statement, collaroff is a little more understated — and ultimately you’ll be getting a little more bang for your buck.

By Marielle Gallagher n the summertime, it’s easy to find food produced in Oregon via farmers markets, local produce stands or community-supported agriculture programs, also known as CSAs. But by mid-October, farmers markets and most CSA programs will close until spring.

At most CSAs, members pay a lump sum upfront and collect boxes of produce from local farms throughout the growing season.

An option for consumers looking for local food in the winter is Agricultural Connections, a year-round, Bend-based CSA. Founded by former Bend resident Andrew Adams in January, AC partners with several farms in Oregon to buy vegetables, fruit, dairy products and more on a 52-weeks-a-year basis.

The manager and sole employee of AC, Elizabeth Weigand, 30, says one of the differ-

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to find eco-friendly alternatives that are equally effective and will reduce your exposure to potentially dangerous chemicals.

ences between AC and other CSA programs is that instead of paying upfront for the season, customers order on a weekly basis.

Customers order via the website www. bendcsa.com, where they can click on “Visit The Shop” to see grocery items listed by farm of origin. There are two sizes for the “boxes” of produce, individual ($20) and family ($28), and there are side items that can be added, such as eggs, mushrooms, milk, half ’n half, yogurt, 15 types of cheese, butter, meat, jam and pet food.

Fall fashion look features a faux fur jacket from La Garconne.

Deliberating the fur/faux fur trend? Some say it looks cheap; others, that it’s simply trendy.

I agree with both points of view.

The fur — and much more politically correct faux fur — trend is in full force this fall, coming in everything from swing coats to duffel bags. But I also think that faux fur can easily go very wrong if made of some cheap acrylic mess that looks more like an old Chewbacca costume than a stylish piece of clothing.

If you’re going to buy a jacket or cardigan trimmed with or made entirely of faux fur this season, first make sure it doesn’t feel like

a can of Aqua Net was let loose all over it. That tacky-to-the-touch feeling equals tacky to the sight as well. The texture should be as soft and plush as possible.

The pieces I particularly love when it comes to faux fur are jackets that have removable faux fur collars. An army green bomber jacket from Rebecca Taylor ($495), for instance, has an optional faux fur collar that looks real and lays flat so the wearer doesn’t look like she’s giving a piggyback ride to a Muppet. Plus the jacket provides options — collar-on makes a statement, collaroff is a little more understated — and ultimately you’ll be getting a little more bang for your buck.

Man must sort out attractions before he’s ready to marry Dear Abby: After many months of dating a wonderful woman, “Amy,” we have set a date for our wedding. However, there’s a problem. As the date draws closer, Amy is concerned about my lack of physical intimacy with her.

While I am very attracted to her, I am having some doubts. I recently noticed a young man at my health club and experienced some unfamiliar feelings. I don’t think I am gay, but I am no longer sure that Amy is what I have been looking for.

Should I push these feelings aside or should I tell Amy the truth about these feelings?

— Searching For Answers in Pennsylvania Dear Searching: You should absolutely tell your fiancée the truth about the feelings you’re having — all of them. To marry a woman knowing you might be more attracted to a someone else would bring everyone involved great pain. It is very important that you find out who you are and what you’re looking for before coupling up with anyone. While Amy may not be thrilled to hear what you have to say, you owe it to her and to yourself to be frank before this goes any further.

Dear Abby: My husband and I dated for eight years before we were married two years ago. He has a son from a previous relationship, and we have a 9-monthold son together.

My problem is my mother-inlaw. More often than not, she calls me by my stepson’s mother’s name. Abby, that woman and my husband haven’t been together for more than 12 years!

My husband thinks I’m making a big deal out of nothing. My relationship with his mother has suffered because of it. She lives near us and helps out with watching our baby, so I see her quite often.

DEAR ABBY What are your thoughts on this?

— Also Known As ...

Dear A.K.A.: If your mother-inlaw’s slip of the tongue happened occasionally, I would agree with your husband that it’s no big deal. Because it happens often, it appears the woman is doing it deliberately. Have you confronted her about it and told her how hurtful it is? And if it doesn’t stop, then you’re within your rights to limit your time with her and/or arrange for other supervision for your baby. It would be confusing for him to grow up around a grandmother who calls his mother by a stranger’s name.

Dear Abby: When I am out with my friends, they can’t keep their hands and eyes off their cell phones. They sit there and text whatever guy they’re involved with, and I feel like they would rather be with anyone else but me.

I have talked to them about it, but they say I “don’t understand” because I have never been in a relationship. Abby, I’m not jealous, I am hurt that my friends think cyber communication is more important than spending time with friends. What do you think?

— Texted Out in Texas Dear Texted Out: I’m glad you asked. It is rude for people to behave the way you have described.

Good manners dictate that people give their undivided attention to those they are with. To do otherwise sends the signal that their present company is less important.

Tierney bounces back after cancer fight

By Gail Pennington

When a man in a wheelchair is found dead in New York Harbor, Assistant District Attorney Kathryn Peale (Maura Tierney) brings a murder charge against the man’s daughter in “The Whole Truth,” airing tonight on ABC.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

LOS ANGELES — Maura Tierney likes her new, pixie haircut.

“It dries faster,” she said, tugging at a curl behind her ear.

Mainly, though, she’s happy to have hair. After being diagnosed with breast cancer last year, Tierney, 45, had surgery and chemotherapy, dropping out of NBC’s “Parenthood” to do everything necessary to get well.

But as of this week, Tierney is back on television in ABC’s “The Whole Truth.” Lauren Graham replaced her in “Parenthood,” leaving Tierney free to take a role that was actually written for her.

Tom Donaghy created the character of Kathryn Peale, the no-nonsense lead prosecutor who matches wits with friend and adversary Jimmy Brogan (Rob Morrow), with Tierney in mind. Donaghy and Tierney have known each other since college, but she was committed to “Parenthood,” so he cast Joely Richardson.

Then real life intervened.

While Tierney was finishing treatment and acting in a play in New York, Richardson asked to be released from “The Whole Truth.”

“Joely’s life was fairly complicated,” executive producer Jonathan Littman told TV critics when ABC introduced “The Whole Truth” in August.

Richardson’s mother is actress Vanessa Redgrave, and three members of that family — Joely’s sister, Natasha Richardson; her uncle, Corin Redgrave; and her aunt, Lynn Redgrave — had died within 14 months of one another.

“It was the right thing to do, to let her go and deal with that,” Littman said. “The timing worked out great, because then Maura was available and

ABC via McClatchyTribune News Service

able to do it.”

Tierney spent nine years on “ER,” leaving in 2008. Tough nurse Abby Cunningham, always determined not to look vulnerable, showed up a bit when Tierney was asked about her cancer.

“I’m good,” she said, adding, when pressed, “I’m healthy. ... I read the script, and I liked it. So that was that.”

Tierney had chosen to return to theater, rather than television, because she said she appreciated the precision and structure that a play required.

“I wasn’t really thinking about doing another (TV) show,” she said. “But I really responded to the character that Tom wrote, I guess because (he) wrote it for me.”

Donaghy created the role in response to “a lot of female char-

acters on television that weren’t strong in the way that I understand how women can be strong and also feminine,” he said.

“I knew Maura had the elegance, and we keep saying this word ‘wit,’ so I wrote it with her talents in mind, never thinking she would be available. So it’s quite a gift that she is.”

Added Tierney, “My ego’s not involved there at all. But I thought she was a really, really appealing character ... and funny. And it was interesting to find a character that had such sort of a great sense of humor, yet was so driven.”

Tierney has been quoted as saying she was uncomfortable having to ask for help during her treatment, and she clearly would rather get past questions about how she was changed by the experience.

When: 10 tonight Where: ABC

“I probably have a new perspective on everything, in general,” she said.

Still, “My perspective probably should change more than it has, quite honestly. But as far as work goes ... it’s a priority for me now to be able to work with people who I really like and trust.”

Of Donaghy, she said, “Tom and I are friends, like actual real friends, not Hollywood friends.

We went to college together.

We’ve known each other for over 20 years. So that will be a factor because I feel like, yeah, it’s too much time involved of your life to not enjoy it.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2010: This year, your imagination and intellect go into fifth gear. As a result, you often see solutions way before anyone else. Travel, new experiences and an opportunity to live life in a new way continue to reinforce the process of growth toward less rigidity. If you are single, you could meet someone quite exotic, spiritual or even a foreigner. This person is likely to be part of the many openings of your year. If you are attached, decide as a couple to do a workshop together or plan that special trip. Share more and love more. GEMINI presents many different views.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your efforts to make inroads with a loved one or another key person in your life finally seem to reap results. Still, be careful with this person. He or she could be more flaky than you anticipate.

Tonight: Meet up with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your fiscal wisdom might be more in demand than you realize. Although you could feel taken aback or astounded by another person’s reaction, you need to maintain a steady course.

Tonight: Check in with a loved one or child who could be hurting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Trust in your ability to mend bridges. Others appeal to you for your ability to network.

They like your originality and style.

Confirm an important meeting.

Don’t make assumptions. Tonight: Beam in exactly what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH Pull back. You also might want to come in late to work or call in. Worry a little less. The quality of a project can only be enhanced by some downtime.

You might take another person’s comment too personally.

Tonight: Talking up a storm.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You might want to zero in on the essentials while others want to talk fluff. You might wonder how you can reconcile the difference. Recognize that the chasm might not be as deep as it looks. You might discover people’s moods are what is causing the separation, not the ideas. Tonight: Where the party is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be overly tense. Though you don’t mean to cause a problem, you could.

Calm down and have a longoverdue talk this morning. If you are uncomfortable, you don’t want to put off this conversation any longer than need be, for your sake. Tonight: A must approach.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Stretch by walking in another person’s shoes. Through empathizing, you’ll gain both understanding and detachment.

Be careful with a crack or sarcastic comment. Don’t take it personally.

Tonight: Feed your mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Deal directly with others.

Sometimes you prefer to let someone else be your messenger.

Express compassion and give up being a judge. You’ll come out on top of your game. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others provide a lot of insight into their behavior without realizing it. You might be smiling within, but don’t share those thoughts at the moment. Timing means everything. A boss could flip from one point of view to another.

Tonight: Where people are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Just as you think you have a complete perspective, you realize some details have been left out. Though this experience could be frustrating, don’t miss a beat as you seek out information and perhaps another’s expertise.

Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could be more in control of a situation than you realize. Even though someone clearly disagrees with you, that doesn’t mean you aren’t righton. Question what is happening within your immediate circle.

Tonight: You need some fun!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Keep your best interests in mind, which might look like taking the day off again or simply not sharing a lot. It is best not to say anything until you clear your head.

A close friend or loved one also could be somewhat unpredictable.

Tonight: Do only what you want. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

E6 Wednesday, September 29, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Winter Continued from E1 Online shopping is completed by making payment via PayPal, credit card or electronic check.

For customers wanting to pay by cash or check, or who don’t have Internet access, Weigand says she can take orders via phone and take payment at the AC food pickup site a week in advance.

When The Bulletin compared the cost of produce items from AC against prices at Whole Foods Market and Safeway (on Century Drive), both in Bend, we found that AC and Whole Foods were nearly identical in cost, while Safeway — where only one of the items on our list was “Locally Grown” but most were organic — was significantly less expensive.

Direct connection AC’s slogan is “Bridging the gap between farmers and consumers.”

Weigand said AC offers a more direct connection with the farmers than grocery stores, where “the farms sell it to the distributor, the distributor marks it up and sells it to the grocery store, and the grocery store marks it up and sells it to the customer, as far as I understand.”

At AC, she said, “we buy it from the farmer and sell it to the customer.”

Every Tuesday, Weigand departs at 5 a.m. from Bend in a small truck pulling a trailer. Her route takes her through Eugene for mushrooms, Junction City for produce, Crabtree for dairy products, Lebanon for eggs, blueberries and jam, and finally back to Bend, where customers get their food less than 38 hours after it was harvested.

AC’s wintertime offerings from its main produce provider, Cinco Estrellas Farm, an organic farm in Junction City, will include kale, spinach, potatoes, cabbage, beets, parsnips, leeks, carrots, and a salad mix including red- and green-leaf lettuce, arugula and tatsoi, a mustard green. Fruit in the winter will include fresh apples, pears and peaches from Kimberly Orchards in Eastern Oregon.

Cinco Estrellas Farm owner Roberto Cruz’s daughter-in-law, Jacey Cruz, who helps on the farm, said business from AC carried the farm through the past winter. “If we would not have had them, a lot would’ve gone to waste. … They carried us through the hardest time.”

Weigand says that since America’s food systems became industrialized in the 1950s, people have become more disconnected from the source of food. AC customers can easily contact the farm where they get their tomatoes or milk if they have questions. Dani Harp, office manager at Noris Dairy, which supplies all dairy products to AC, says customers call the dairy on a regular basis.

“I think it’s very important for consumers to be able to contact our farm, know our practices and our milk,” Harp said.

‘Local’ on the label Unlike organic, which is a USDA-regulated term, “local” has no commonly accepted definition. “For AC, local means within 100 miles from Bend as the crow flies,” Weigand said, although the route to Cinco Estrellas in Junction City is 143 miles by road.

Because the food is traveling a relatively short distance, Weigand says growers can choose to grow a variety of products based on flavor rather than

The cost of local, organic food Because the content offerings from Agricultural Connections vary by week, while price remains the same ($20-$28), it ’s impossible to figure the price per item. To make the price comparison, we weighed each item from the AC box and then collected the price per pound or bunch of the same products at Safeway (on Century Drive) and Whole Foods Market, both in Bend. Since AC’s product is local and organic, we tried to find the same qualities in the products from Safeway and Whole Foods. We were able to find all of the same local and organic vegetables and fruit from Whole Foods. At Safeway, most of the products were organic but only the lettuce was advertised as “Locally Grown.”

to inquire to get more specific regional and farm information.

“Unless the product is still in the box, there’s no way to retrieve that information,” said Burgess.

He explained that he places produce orders seven days a week to a warehouse in Clackamas. The warehouse then does the ordering for 118 Safeway stores in Oregon and Washington.

At Whole Foods in Bend earlier last week, three produce workers restocking figs and apples were able to talk at length about the farms the store buys from. Store team leader Steve Nelson gestured to different produce while

Continued from E1 There are some faux fur items on QVC that look surprisingly good. Rachel Zoe, who is a lover of fur (though more often the real deal than faux) is doing some faux pieces for her line on QVC. Her V-neck vest with faux fur front ($62) could be worn with some cutoffs and Wellies for that early-fall music festival vibe.

Also on QVC, Dennis Basso is doing faux fur bags and blankets ($81.12 for a bag and travel throw), which felt to me like chenille though they look just like fur. A faux fur tote bag looks chic when traveling — just watch out for the paparazzi because, really, who travels in fur besides Victoria Beckham and Andre Leon Talley?

Personally, my favorite way to wear this faux fur trend is with a “Mad Men”-esque twist.

A simple sable-colored swing coat from Wink ($288) has short sleeves and a 1960s appeal that works with skinny black pants and flats or a highwaist pencil skirt and heels.

Don’t go overboard with the faux fur trend (or with any trend, for that matter), because it’s one that can definitely leave you looking like a fur-swathed fashion victim when it’s overdone.

There are some fruits and vegetables that will ripen off the plant, but for those that don’t, “they never reach their full flavor capacity.”

Phil Burgess, produce manager at the Bend Safeway on Century Drive, said the only way he could really tell where a certain product originated was to get the name from the box in which it arrived. Although some products in Safeway are labeled as local, customers would need

identifying the farm of origin. A placard next to the “Washington Organic” nectarines showed a picture of Valicoff Fruit Co. in Wapato, Wash., and included information about the farm where the nectarines grew.

AC customer Bretagne DowHygelund, 33, says she started getting food from AC in March or April and hasn’t missed a week since. At the AC pickup site last week, her children helped bag their fruits and vegetables. She talked while placing the food in a cooler in the back of her truck.

“A big part of why we do it is to support the local farmers and

to know where our food comes from. And there’s no packaging.”

Before using AC, Dow-Hygelund shopped at Whole Foods Market and Nature’s General Store, also in Bend, but she says her budget of $100 a week hasn’t changed since switching to AC. The fruits and vegetables provided through AC vary week to week so members don’t know exactly the contents until they pick them up, which in DowHygelund’s case has forced her to learn to cook foods she wouldn’t normally buy. “We switched our menu and gears to be revolving around what they (the AC) offer,” she said. “It’s taught my children that when we run out of milk, we go a couple days without. It’s a different set of values than just running to the store when you are out of something.”

She says it has also taught them to eat what Oregon is capable of producing. “What I like is that we have to adjust our diet expectations to the tangible products of our community and the reality of what Oregon has to offer, instead of going to the store and getting things that aren’t producible, like watermelon.”

Weigand says AC’s yearlong availability is part of the expanding options for consumers who want healthier, organic-food products. “This is an option for people who are aware of the fact that organic food is better for your body, better for your kids that you’re feeding and better for economically stimulating local farmers who otherwise are in a conventional system.”

Continued from E1 Over years, those toxins can be absorbed into your pet’s skin and into the skin of the person doing the dog washing. Then the toxins go right down the drain, polluting the water supply. A much better choice is biodegradable shampoos free from coloring, preservatives, or fragrances.

Who wants their dog smelling like vanilla anyway?

For the felines, it’s all about the kitty litter. Avoid using clay-based clumping cat litter that contains sodium betonite.

Tiny silica dust particles can cause lung disease or worse in humans and respiratory or digestive problems in cats.

Plus, there are many other options that are better for you, your cat and the planet. Litters made from used newspapers, reclaimed wood chips, or even whole kernel corn are easy to find. If you need help battling odor, you can also add a layer of baking soda to the bottom of the litter pan before filling. It’s inexpensive and nontoxic.

Baking soda is also great for removing pet odors around the home. You can freshen up carpets or pet bedding by sprinkling a little on and letting it set for 15 minutes before vacuuming. And when the inevitable accident happens, reach for nontoxic vinegar to clean up the mess. It’s a natural disinfectant that’s pennies on the dollar compared to other cleaners.

Do your part and make smarter choices when buying products for your four-legged friends. You’ll be keeping potentially toxic materials away from your pets, your family and our environment.
