Ridin’ warm Bankrolling lawsuits, sharing in the payoff

By Binyamin Appelbaum New York Times News Service

Large banks, hedge funds and private investors hungry for new and lucrative opportunities are bankrolling other people’s lawsuits, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into medical malpractice claims, divorce battles and class actions against corporations — all in the hope of sharing in the potential winnings.

The loans are propelling large and prominent cases. Lenders including Counsel Financial, a Buffalo, N.Y., company financed by Citigroup, provided $35 million for the lawsuits brought by ground zero workers that were settled tentatively in June for $712.5 million. The lenders earned about $11 million.

Most investments are in the smaller cases that fill court dockets. Ardec Funding, a New York lender backed by a hedge fund, lent $45,000 in June to a Manhattan lawyer hired by the parents of a baby brain-damaged at birth.

The lawyer hired two doctors, a physical therapist and an economist to testify at a July trial. The jury awarded the baby $510,000.

Ardec is collecting interest at an annual rate of 24 percent, or $900 a month, until the award is paid.

The rise of lending to plaintiffs and their lawyers is a result of the high cost of litigation. Pursuing a civil action in federal court costs an average of $15,000, the Federal Judicial Center reported last year. Cases involving scientific evidence, like medical malpractice claims, often cost more than $100,000. Some people cannot afford to pursue claims; others are overwhelmed by corporate defendants with deeper pockets.

But a review by The New York Times and the Center for Public Integrity shows that borrowed money also is fueling abuses, including cases initiated and controlled by investors.

Brad Buckley, a Bend High graduate living in Colorado, was feeling fatigued — and then he was gone

The dangers

of hantavirus

Former Bend resident Brad Buckley died last month in Colorado from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. He was an avid outdoorsman and a wildlife biologist who worked to help reintroduce lynx to Colorado.

The disease is rare, experts say, but the rapid progression from flu-like symptoms to heart failure makes it potentially deadly, as well

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Brad Buckley, a 35-year-old Bend High School graduate and wildlife biologist, died from hantavirus last month in a mountain cabin in Colorado.

Now, his mother is working to spread the word about the rare disease, its causes and its symptoms.

“My goal is to prevent this from happening to somebody else that doesn’t even know about it,” said Susie Moon, Buckley’s mother.

She doesn’t know where he contracted the virus, which is carried in the urine and

feces of deer mice. Buckley was a parttime contractor who had been tearing down attics and ceilings, so it could have been there, she said.

But when he and his friend went hunting a month ago, he just felt tired, Moon said.

“The only symptom he had was fatigue,” she said.

Buckley and his friend hiked to a cabin in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains on Oct. 15, and Buckley didn’t feel good through the weekend. By Monday, they had decided to get him out of the woods and to seek medical help the next day.

But Buckley started getting sicker that

night, Moon said.

His friend hiked to a nearby meadow where he could get phone reception and called 911, as well as some friends who had horses. He kept in touch with Buckley, who had a satellite phone. As he was walking back to the cabin, he talked to Buckley, who said he needed to get help immediately.

The friend ran back to the meadow to call for a helicopter evacuation, Moon said, and hurried to the cabin.

“By the time he got there, Brad was gone,” Moon said. “It’s just unreal to me.”

Two months ago, the Deschutes County commissioners found themselves in the thick of a dispute between the new developer of part of a destination resort, an investor and a bank that had issued a letter of credit for the project.

The new owner of a portion of the resort where a hotel was originally planned — St. Louis-based Virtual Realty Enterprises LLC — had requested an extension of the September construction deadline, Assistant County Legal Counsel Laurie Craghead told the commissioners.

But then it appeared Virtual Realty Enterprises might bring the process to a standstill, when the company refused to sign the extension agreement until Wells Fargo Bank also extended its letter of credit. The county requires bonds or letters of credit to guarantee construction of various elements of resorts.

The situation was further complicated because resort investor Joe Weston, who is financially backing the overnight lodging project, threatened to sue the county if it were to draw on the letter of credit, Craghead told the commissioners.

Students attend a half-day orientation at the struggling College Classique Feminin in October on their first day back to the school since Haiti’s earthquake.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — In mid-October, when fresh-faced girls in starched uniforms skipped through the gates of the College Classique Feminin to start the first post-earthquake school year, their desire to seek sanctuary inside was palpable.

Dashing off a street clogged with vendors hawking car mats and phone chargers, they reconnected with hugs and squeals. They cheered the absence of the stifling tents in which they studied last

spring. And they all but embraced an administrator’s warning that strict discipline would be reinstated after a lax period when “we all were traumatized.”

Still, nothing felt normal. The school’s door bore a scarlet stamp, slapped there by engineers who consider it unsafe. The semi-collapsed central building loomed menacingly over eight portable classrooms that clearly would not fit 13 grades. And the all-girl student body had dwindled to almost half its pre-disaster enrollment.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — American Indians have won some key victories on Capitol Hill this year and should capitalize on them to start solving some of the problems that have plagued tribal communities for decades, said the leader of the oldest and largest Indian organization in the nation.

Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians, said tribal leaders should keep the momentum going following successes such as the Tribal Law and Order Act, recently signed into law by President Barack Obama, and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, reauthorized as part of the larger health care reform passed by Congress.

F / Technology Broadband booms, but some groups are left behind

By Troy Wolverton

San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Millions of Americans signed up for broadband Internet access in the past decade, but “digital divides” persist between different income levels, ethnic groups and geographical areas of the country, according to a new government report.

Some 63.5 percent of U.S. households had broadband Internet access at home in 2009, up from just 9.2 percent in 2001, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported last week. No matter how government analysts sliced the data, each segment of the population studied showed dramatic gains in broadband adoption.

But the report made clear that despite these gains, the nation continues to see a digital divide in broadband adoption. First identified by policymakers in the 1990s, the digital divide represents the difference in Internet adoption rates between different groups of the population, typically between high-income and low-income families, between younger and older Americans or between whites and other ethnic groups.

In the latest report, the Commerce Department found that 23 percent of Americans don’t use the Internet at all. Another 8 percent use the Internet, but not at home. And 5 percent of Americans only have dial-up access at home.

Some of the demographic and regional breakdowns showed even starker differences. While 91.5 percent of American households with more than $75,000 in annual income had broadband Internet access at home, just 35.8 percent of households with less than $25,000 in income did. Similarly, among households where the head of household has a college degree or higher, 84.5 percent have broadband access. Among households where the head of household doesn’t have a high school diploma, just 28.8 percent have broadband access.

“The digital divide is an opportunity divide,” said Julius Genachowski, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, in a statement. “If you can’t get online, you can’t compete in the digital economy.

“Closing these gaps is one of the top priorities of the FCC’s National Broadband Plan and a key focus of the agency,” he said.

Among those who don’t have broadband at home, the top reasons listed were that they weren’t interested or didn’t see a need for it; it was too expensive; or they either didn’t have a computer or didn’t have one that was adequate for accessing broadband.

Despite the lingering gaps, those most affected by the divide have seen dramatic gains in broadband adoption. In 2001, just 4.7 percent of black households had broadband Internet access. In 2009, 49.4 percent of those households did. Broadband adoption among Hispanic and American Indian households grew from 5.3 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, in 2001 to 47.9 percent and 48.3 percent in 2009. Among households whose head was 65 or older, adoption grew from 3.1 percent to 39.9 percent.

In spite of the sizable increases, those groups still lag the highest levels of broadband access. Some 77.3 percent of Asian-American households and 68 percent of white ones had broadband access in 2009. And 71.2 percent of households whose head was 16 to 44 had broadband access that year.

Gaps also persist among regions and areas of the country.

Among urban households, 65.9 percent had broadband Internet access in 2009, up from 10.5 percent in 2001. By contrast, only 51 percent of rural households had broadband access last year, up from 3.8 percent in 2001.

The Western region of the country had the highest rate of broadband adoption at 68 percent, while the South was the lowest with 60 percent.

E-readers set for holiday surge, analysts predict

By Julie Bosman

New York Times News Service

This could be the holiday season that American shoppers and e-readers are properly introduced.

E-readers will be widely available at stores like Target, Best Buy and Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, and offered at prices that make sense for Christmas gifts — less than $150.

Publishers and booksellers are expecting that, instead of giving your mother a new Nicholas Sparks novel or your father a David Baldacci thriller in the hardcovers that traditionally fly off the shelves at this time of year, you might elect to convert your parents into e-readers.

“This is the tipping-point season for e-readers, there’s no question,” said Peter Hildick-Smith, president of the Codex Group, a book market research company. “A lot more books are going to be sold in e-book format. It also means that a lot fewer people are going to be shopping in bookstores.”

Only a small slice of the book-buying public has bought an e-reader. About 9 million devices are in circulation in the United States, according to Forrester Research.

That could jump in the coming weeks as consumers begin their holiday shopping, analysts predict. According to Forrester, at least 10.3 million e-readers could be in circulation by the end of the year.

Numbers are up Many will be bought for other people. Research from Simba Information, which provides data and advice to publishers, has shown that one in five of those who own a Kindle, Amazon’s dedicated e-reader, received it as a gift.

In a recent Consumer Reports poll, 10 percent of the adults surveyed said they planned to give an e-reader as a gift this year, up from 4 percent in 2009.

That has corresponded with an increase in e-book sales.

Two years ago, publishers said that sales of e-books constituted 1 percent of total book sales. The figure is now closer to 9 or 10 percent.

A year ago, the Kindle was the dominant force in e-readers, and it remains so. But since then, the Nook from Barnes & Noble and the iPad from Apple have emerged as major competitors.

Last month, Barnes & Noble introduced a color version of the Nook for $249; there is also the Kobo, which is sold at Borders and Walmart, and dozens of other e-readers, including a $100 tablet offered on Walgreens.com.

“Last year, when you think of the e-reader category, it was Nook and Kindle and Sony, but primarily Nook and Kindle if you look at the sales,” said William Lynch, chief executive of Barnes & Noble. “The difference this year is, there’s a whole lot more choice.”

Maybe too much, said Michael Norris, a senior analyst for Simba Information. “I don’t think that the U.S. market can support 50 or 60 ereaders,” he said, adding that he had lost count of all the current models.

James McQuivey, an analyst for Forrester Research, predicted that the glut of e-readers would confuse consumers.

“The range of choices is actually going to be perplexing,” McQuivey said. “And when that happens, consumers go back to the tried-and-true brands that have trust and good word of mouth.”

Weeks before the holiday season officially begins, the promotional blitz by retailers has already begun. On Amazon.com, a prominent homepage ad informs shoppers about the latest versions of the Kindle, for $139 and $189.

Barnes & Noble has added sleek white “boutiques” in its stores, dedicated to showcasing the Nook.

Booksellers worry All the emphasis on e-readers could take away from sales of the hardcover book, a traditional holiday gift, and that is a prospect that has some booksellers worried.

“There’s no question that this is the year of the gadget, and this year’s gadget is the e-reader,” said Geoffrey Jennings, the owner of Rainy Day Books, an independent bookstore in Fairway, Kan. But Jennings said that sales of print books at his store were even stronger than last year, and that he believed the e-reading craze could be limited.

“A lot of people are going to get these things and they’re going to go, ‘This isn’t like reading a book,’” he said. “Then again, you’ll have people who get them and then say, this is a fun gadget.

But people get sick of gadgets after awhile.”

Publishers insisted that they

were not worried. “We’ll see a lot of reading devices under the tree, which means we’ll sell a lot of ebooks,” said Tim McCall, the director of online sales for Penguin Group USA. Carolyn Reidy, president and chief executive of Simon & Schuster, said she expected ebook sales to shoot up Christmas Day, when people open up their e-readers and immediately start buying books.

“The digital will be an added plus to what looks like we’re starting to pull out of — a very lackluster market,” Reidy said. “That will make for a very happy year after two Christmases that have not been very happy.”

New York Times News Service

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has developed a plan to begin transferring security duties in select Afghan areas to that country’s forces over the next 18 to 24 months, with an eye toward ending the American combat mission there by 2014, officials said Sunday.

The phased four-year plan to wind down American and allied fighting in Afghanistan will be presented at a NATO summit meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, this week, the officials said. It will reflect the most concrete vision for transition in Afghanistan assembled by civilian and military officials since President Barack Obama took office last year.

In many respects, the concept follows the precedent set in Iraq, where a similar troop surge and strategy shift under President George W. Bush in 2007 enabled American-led coalition forces to eventually hand over security duties to the Iraqis region by region.

By last summer, Obama was able to pull out two-thirds of U.S. forces from Iraq and declare America’s combat mission there over.

“Iraq is a pretty decent blueprint for how to transition in Afghanistan,” one American official said Sunday, insisting like others on anonymity to discuss the strategy before its presentation. “But the key will be constructing an Afghan force that is truly capable of taking the lead.”

The new transition planning comes as prospects for last year’s troop increase in Afghanistan and reformulated strategy there remain uncertain. American forces in Afghanistan have tripled under Obama, and Gen. David Petraeus, the commander, has expressed confidence that they are making progress. But the last of the reinforcements arrived only recently, and officials in Washington have said it is too early to say whether the strategy will work.

Officials emphasized Sunday that any transition to Afghan-led security would be based on local conditions, not a dictate from Washington, and would be a process, not an event. “This will be ground up,” one official said. The American government is already assessing which areas could be safely handed over to Afghan security forces and will be ready to identify them late this year or early next year, officials said. Every few months, more areas will begin the transition, with the last at the end of 2012. Those will almost certainly include the tough-

Karzai remarks concern Petraeus KABUL, Afghanistan — Gen. David Petraeus, the coalition military commander in Afghanistan, warned Afghan officials Sunday that President Hamid Karzai’s latest public criticism of U.S. strategy threatens to seriously undermine progress in the war and risks making Petraeus’ own position “untenable,” according to Afghan and U.S. officials.

Officials said Petraeus expressed “astonishment and disappointment” with Karzai’s call, in a Saturday interview with The Washington Post, to “reduce military operations” and end U.S. Special Operations raids in southern Afghanistan that coalition officials said have killed or captured hundreds of Taliban commanders in recent months.

In a meeting Sunday morning with Ashraf Ghani, who leads the Afghan government’s planning on transition, Petraeus made what several officials described as “hypothetical” references to an inability to continue U.S. operations in the face of Karzai’s remarks.

— The Washington Post est areas, like Khost in the east and Kandahar in the south.

Even after Afghan forces have assumed the lead in a province, some American or NATO forces may remain or be positioned “over the horizon” elsewhere in Afghanistan ready to respond quickly if necessary. By the end of 2014, American and NATO combat forces could be withdrawn, although tens of thousands likely will remain for training, mentoring and other assistance, just as 50,000 American troops are still in Iraq.

The plan came amid escalating pressure from President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan to reduce the visibility of American troops, to halt night raids unless carried out by Afghan soldiers or police officers, and to begin withdrawing foreign forces by next year. “The time has come to reduce military operations,” Karzai told The Washington Post in an interview published Sunday.

“The time has come to reduce the presence of, you know, boots in Afghanistan.”

Netanyahu lobbies Cabinet JERUSALEM — Under pressure from the Obama administration, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began nudging his Cabinet on Sunday toward accepting a multibillion-dollar package of U.S. incentives to restart peace talks with Palestinians.

But Netanyahu immediately faced strong opposition from conservative politicians and Jewish settler groups, who vowed to block the American proposal because it would reimpose building restrictions in the West Bank for three months.

After a confrontational Cabinet meeting, Moshe Yaalon, Israel’s vice prime minister, rejected the U.S. offer as a “honey trap” that “will lead us down a slippery slope and into another crisis with the American administration after three months, or perhaps even sooner.”

The package, discussed last week between Netanyahu and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New York, includes 20 stealth fighter jets worth $3 billion and a promise to veto anti-Israel proposals raised in the U.N. Security Council during the next year.

Lead worry causes stir over ‘green’ grocery bags New York Times News Service

The Associated Press

British sailors Rachel and Paul Chandler talk with a local leader Sunday after the two were released from captivity in Adado town, Somalia.

Pirates free couple after 388 days The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya — The retired British couple were sailing the world on a 38-foot yacht that represented most of their life savings when Somali pirates captured them last year, demanding the sort of huge ransom a multimillionaire or a multinational company might cough up.

The fact that Paul and Rachel Chandler couldn’t pay a big ransom helped stretch out their ordeal 388 agonizing days

— until Sunday, when they were released thin and exhausted, but smiling. It was one of the longest and most dramatic hostage situations since the Somali piracy boom began several years ago.

The Chandlers were welcomed by the Somali community close to where they had been held, and later met with the Somali prime minister in Mogadishu. A private jet then flew them to Nairobi’s military airport, where they were whisked away in a British

Embassy vehicle.

Somali pirates still hold close to 500 hostages and more than 20 vessels. The pirates typically only release hostages for multimillion-dollar ransoms. But unlike the companies who own large transport ships, the Chandlers are far from rich.

The family said it would not comment on questions about payment to the pirates, so as not to encourage the capture of other private individuals.

Myanmar democracy leader speaks to many Los Angeles Times YANGON, Myanmar — A day after her release from detention, opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on Sunday met dozens of ambassadors, hundreds of journalists and thousands of Myanmar citizens, underscoring the importance of dialogue, strength and

determination in the battle for democracy in her country.

Suu Kyi, 65, had been detained by the military-led government for 15 of the last 21 years.

During a 45-minute speech and a separate meeting with about two dozen ambassadors Sunday, she stressed her willingness to speak with all po-

litical parties, reach out to the country’s many ethnic groups and open a dialogue with the military government.

NEW YORK — They dangle from the arms of many New Yorkers, a nearly ubiquitous emblem of empathy with the environment: synthetic, reusable grocery bags.

But the bags, hot items at upscale markets, may be on the verge of a glacier-size public relations problem: Similar bags outside the city have been found to contain lead.

There is no evidence that these bags pose an immediate threat to the public, and none of the bags sold by New York City’s best-known grocery stores have been implicated.

But reports from around the country have trickled in recently about reusable bags, mostly made in China, that contained potentially unsafe levels of lead. The offending bags were identified at several stores, including some CVS pharmacies; the Rochester-based Wegman’s grocery chain recalled thousands of its bags, made of recycled plastic, in September.

Concerns have proliferated so much that Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., sent a letter on Sunday to the Food and Drug Administration, urging an investigation.

Fire crews work to extinguish the flames Sunday after a convoy of NATO fuel tankers was attacked by militants in Behsod district of Nangarhar province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan.

5 service members killed in Afghanistan, NATO says The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — A series of bomb blasts and insurgents attacks killed 11 people across Afghanistan on Sunday, including five NATO service members and three Afghan police, officials said.

The strikes, which came a day after Taliban fighters stormed a NATO base in eastern Afghanistan, show the insurgents’ fighting spirit has not been broken despite a surge of U.S. troops

Hantavirus Continued from A1 Since then, she has looked into hantavirus, calling state and county health departments and asking them to publicize the disease.

“I just want people to be warned,” she said.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is uncommon — the Centers for Disease Control lists 545 recorded cases through July 2010, including 11 Oregonians and 70 Colorado residents. About 36 percent of the cases have been fatal.

Buckley moved to Bend with his family when he was in fourth grade, Moon said, and after graduating from Bend High School he studied wildlife science at Oregon State University.

“He’d always been interested in wildlife,” she said, adding that when some friends of his gathered recently, they recalled going out to the China Hat area, and watching the rabbits and chipmunks.

“Even back then, he was documenting how many there were, where they were,” she said.

His job as a wildlife biologist took him across the country, and for the past several years Buckley had been working to help reintroduce lynx to Colorado, she said.

He was an avid outdoorsman, and loved to telemark ski, canoe, kayak, climb, hunt and fish, she said, as well as dance, and play and coach soccer.

“Anything outdoors, he loved to do,” Moon said.

sites, according to the CDC. If they do see rodent droppings or nests, they should not try to sweep them up or vacuum the area. Instead, they should wear protective gloves and wet the area with disinfectant or a detergent such as a bleach solution, let it sit, use a damp rag or towel to pick up the droppings, and then mop the area.

Local cases Although cases in Oregon are

very rare, hantavirus has affected some locally in recent years.

In 2006, a 22-year-old La Pine man died from complications related to hantavirus.

And in July 2009, Ethan Lindsey, then 31, contracted the disease.

Lindsey, who was a Bendbased Oregon Public Broadcasting correspondent and is now a producer of American Public Media’s Marketplace, said he doesn’t know where he caught it — he had been out reporting in

Eastern Oregon cabins, but had also been in Montana earlier.

Several days after running a 5K on July Fourth, he started to feel tired.

“Wednesday, I went to see my doctor, he tested for H1N1 and pneumonia, and it all came up negative,” Lindsey said — but doctors didn’t think of the rare hantavirus.

Lindsey was sent home, but later that day he checked in to the emergency room, devoid of energy, he said.

Flu-like symptoms Hantavirus affects the lungs and the heart, said David Dedrick, a pulmonologist and medical director at the High Desert Sleep Center, who saw cases of hantavirus when he was in New Mexico during an outbreak in the 1990s.

“That’s just about as sick as you can possibly get,” he said.

Membranes in the lungs usually keep blood flowing on one side and air on the other, but the virus cracks open the membranes, he said. Plasma fills the lungs, and the patient goes into heart failure.

“The virus just basically trashes everything within your body,” Dedrick said. “It makes the floodgates of your lungs open wide.”

The symptoms start out seeming like the flu, he said — people get achy joints, a fever and feel bad. But they soon start feeling breathless, and their blood pressure drops.

“It’s a really rapid progression,” Dedrick said, noting that people can go from feeling sick to having severe symptoms within 12 hours to two days.

And it can be worse in younger people, he said, since it can set off an immune response that is stronger in healthier individuals.

“What was very sobering was, despite every resource in our hands, physicians and therapists, we still lost a lot of them,” Dedrick said.

Although the symptoms start out flu-like, people should seek medical help if they start to feel breathless, he said.

“If you feel breathless, you need to go to a doctor,” he said.

Although the chances are very slim that it is hantavirus, it could also be a sign of pneumonia, which also needs attention, Dedrick said.

The hantavirus is spread through rodent droppings and urine, frequently when people sweep up or kick up the droppings and make the virus particles airborne, then inhale the virus.

To help prevent hantavirus infections, people should work to keep rodents away from their homes, workplaces and camp-

Mexico hotel blast kills 7 The Associated Press

PLAYA DE CARMEN, Mexico — A powerful explosion likely caused by an accumulation of gas killed seven people, including five Canadian tourists, on Sunday at a large resort hotel on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, authorities said.

Two Mexican employees of the sprawling, 676-room hotel Grand Riviera Princess hotel in Playa del Carmen, south of Cancun, were killed in the blast, said Francisco Alor, attorney general of Quintana Roo, where the resorts are located.

Two other Canadians suffered severe injuries and were listed in critical condition. Ten others suffered less serious wounds and were listed as stable.

“Thursday afternoon, the doctor basically came to me and said we don’t know what you have, but you’re crashing now, and we probably have to put you in a medically induced coma,” Lindsey said.

Doctors put him on a respirator, and he was in a coma for several days — only when he was recovering did the doctors determine that he had hantavirus.

“Because I got there that early, they were able to treat it early enough,” Lindsey said.

And, like others who survive hantavirus infections, Lindsey recovered completely — he ran a marathon two weeks ago.

He said the experience made him realize that even when the numbers for a disease like hantavirus are small, it still affects people.

“It’s not just a statistic, it happens to somebody,” Lindsey said.

Lawsuits Continued from A1 A Florida judge in December ordered an investment banker who orchestrated a shareholder lawsuit against Fresh Del Monte Produce to repay the company’s legal expenses, ruling that the case should not have reached trial.

Such financing also drains money from plaintiffs. Interest rates on lawsuit loans generally exceed 15 percent a year, and most states allow lawyers who borrow to bill clients for the interest payments. The cost can exceed the benefits of winning.

A woman injured in a 1995 car accident outside Philadelphia borrowed money to pursue a lawsuit, as did her lawyer. By the time she won $169,125 in 2003, the lenders were owed $221,000.

Lawyers are not required to tell clients that they have borrowed money, so the client may be unaware that there is financial pressure to resolve cases quickly.

Lenders also seek detailed information about cases, which can jeopardize client confidentiality.

A federal judge in Delaware ruled in June that a company suing Facebook for patent infringement had to show Facebook documents that its lawyer had shared with a lender.

Citing these issues, critics of lending for lawsuits say the practice should be banned.

But proponents, who argue that people often need help to fight corporations, have won a series of victories in state courts and legislatures in recent years, overturning old laws that prohibited investments in lawsuits.

“If you want to use the civil justice system, you have to have money,” said Alan Zimmerman, who founded one of the first litigation finance companies in 1994, in San Francisco, now called the LawFinance Group. “If there’s less money, you’d have less litigation. But then you’d also have less justice.”

A case in point A legal battle between residents of a faded Texas factory town and the BNSF Railway, the nation’s second-largest railroad company, highlights what some see as the benefits and others see as the excesses of lawsuits driven by borrowed money.

Somerville, Texas, 80 miles northwest of Houston, has hosted the noxious work of treating wood to make railroad ties for more than a century. The railroad runs through the town, dividing a small grid of residential streets from the lumberyard and treatment plant where stacks of wood are soaked in preservatives.

Dennis Krueger crossed the tracks to begin work at the factory the week after he graduated from the local high school, in 1974.

Three decades later, he was found to have a malignant skin cancer that his doctor said was most likely caused by prolonged exposure to creosote, the tar oil in which the ties are soaked.

Krueger’s lawsuit is financed by investors he has never met.

His lawyer from Houston, Jared Woodfill, has borrowed more than $3.5 million from a New York hedge fund run by Stillwater Capital Partners, in a deal arranged by the litigation finance specialist Oxbridge Financial Group, also based in New York.

Woodfill first drove to Somer-

Scott Dalton / New York Times News Service

Attorney Jared Woodfill is representing residents of Somerville, Texas, who are suing BNSF Railway, the nation’s second-largest railroad company. Woodfill’s firm has borrowed more than $3.5 million from a New York hedge fund, which it must repay, win or lose. ville in 2000 to meet with a former factory worker who has since died of skin cancer. He said that his work on that employee’s case, which BNSF agreed to settle in 2003, convinced him that toxic emissions from the factory had poisoned the town’s air, water and land.

Woodfill signed up workers with skin cancer, like Krueger, and those with gastrointestinal cancers that he says can be caused by the chemicals used at the factory. He also signed up Somerville residents who never worked at the factory but had developed cancers. And he signed up property owners with no health problems, arguing that the value of their property had suffered.

About 400 people sued the railroad — almost a quarter of the town’s residents.

Oxbridge spent several months reviewing the cases before agreeing to arrange the financing, sending lawyers to Texas to look at documents and to question Woodfill and his partners. Stillwater Capital is charging about 16 percent annual interest.

“But for a hedge fund, I couldn’t afford to take on a railroad,” Woodfill said.

BNSF’s general counsel, Charles Shewmake, said the company had carefully reviewed claims brought by its former workers and decided they had no merit. He said the claims by Somerville residents who did not work at the factory were “physically impossible and without any scientific basis.”

Company executives were outraged when they learned that a hedge fund was backing the lawsuits, Shewmake said. He said that BNSF had been forced to spend millions of dollars mounting its courtroom defense and defending its reputation.

“They’re stirring up cases that don’t need to be in the courthouses,” he said.

An opportunity for lenders Lawsuit lending is a child of the subprime revolution, the mainstream embrace of high-risk lending at high interest rates that began in the early 1990s.

Zimmerman, the founder of the LawFinance Group, practiced law for more than two decades before moving into finance in California in 1992. A lawyer friend called to ask if he would lend to a client who had won a sexual harassment lawsuit. The woman’s former employer had appealed, and

she needed money for living expenses or she would be forced to accept a smaller settlement.

Zimmerman invested $30,000 in the case; the former employer almost immediately dropped the appeal and paid out the verdict.

Zimmerman made $20,000.

“I said: ‘That’s an interesting way to make money. Is there a way to turn that into a business?’”

Zimmerman recalled. The company he created has since invested more than $350 million in litigation.

Others in the lending business saw the same opportunity at about the same time, including a mortgage salesman in Buffalo; a subprime auto lender from Nashville, Tenn.; and a Las Vegas man who had been convicted of threatening borrowers who failed to repay his previous business, Wild West Funding.

By the late 1990s, several of those companies were also making loans to lawyers. Plaintiffs needed small sums for living expenses; their lawyers needed much larger sums to mount cases, and they had few other options. Banks make loans against assets, and law firms generally have little property to pledge as collateral.

The new lenders jumped into the void. LawFinance’s slogan is “We do what banks won’t.”

A war of attrition The residents of Somerville, Texas, have yet to win a trial.

The case of Linda Faust, who never worked at the railroad plant, was the first to reach court, in 2008. She had stomach cancer.

The jury deliberated three days before deciding that BNSF was not responsible.

The following year, a jury ruled against Dennis Davis, a former worker at the factory with pancreatic cancer.

Woodfill’s nine-lawyer firm, Woodfill & Pressler, has spent more on the Somerville cases than any of its previous litigation.

Win or lose, it must repay Stillwater, the hedge fund that is bankrolling the cases. Woodfill said he remained confident that the cases could be won. He is appealing the two losses and preparing for a third trial next year.

Shewmake of BNSF said the company was braced to continue fighting the cases until Stillwater ran out of patience.

“Right now,” he said, “I’d say it’s starting to look like a bad investment decision.”

Tribes Continued from A1 He also cited a $680 million settlement the government has offered to American Indians who were denied farm loans to settle a 1999 lawsuit.

“We have to realize we have an opportunity to really make a difference in Indian Country right now,” said Keel, who also serves as lieutenant governor of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma.

Tribal challenges Keel and other leaders from throughout Indian Country are gathering in Albuquerque this week for the organization’s annual conference.

They will be focused on raising awareness among Congress’ new members of the challenges faced by tribal communities.

“I hope we can sit down and develop a strategy that will enable us to not only talk about those issues but carry them forward, to visit with our congressmen and our local law enforcement and other agencies and our communities so they can help us really step forward and alleviate some of our frustrations,” Keel said.

The National Congress of American Indians was founded in 1944 in response to assimilation policies being imposed on tribes by the federal government. Today, the group monitors federal policy and court actions and coordinates efforts to inform federal decisions that affect tribal interests.

Issues on the agenda for the weeklong conference include law enforcement, violence against women, teen suicide, drug abuse, education, health care, energy development and water rights.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will be among those addressing the conference.

It was Dorgan who championed the Tribal Law and Order Act, which aims to give tribes more authority to combat crime on their reservations.

The act makes federal law enforcement agencies more

THE BULLETIN • Monday, November 15, 2010 A5 accountable by having them collect data on crimes committed in Indian Country, and by requiring the U.S. Department of Justice to maintain criminal data on cases that U.S. attorneys decline to prosecute for various reasons, including a lack of evidence. Some say federal officials decline to prosecute more than 50 percent of violent crimes on reservations.

In another key victory this year, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act was made permanent. The law clears the way for more preventive health care, boosts mental health resources, and addresses recruiting and retaining physicians and other care providers throughout Indian Country.

‘We’re not partisan’ Tribal leaders have many questions about how both laws will be implemented, but Keel said one of the major challenges will be finding the resources for implementation given the federal government’s budget woes and a general desire among Americans and some members of Congress to rein in spending.

Keel also acknowledged that voters’ feelings toward Congress and the Obama administration were “pretty negative” leading up to the midterm elections.

“For Indian Country, we’re not partisan,” he said. “The issues that face us are Indian issues, and they affect our tribal governments and our tribal communities so we have to work with Congress. We have friends on both sides of the aisle, friends that are Republican as well as Democrat.”

Politics and financial hurdles aside, Keel said American Indians are resilient.

“I’ve said it before, and I truly believe this, that our people are suffering but their spirit is not broken. They are a very proud people,” Keel said. “It’s very humbling for me to go and talk to some of these people who are expecting their tribal and national leaders to help them find a way to overcome some of these problems. It’s up to us to do the very best that we can to make a difference.”

A6 Monday, November 15, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Haiti Continued from A1 When the opening bell rang, the students, from first-graders in hair ribbons to seniors in lip gloss, formed neat lines in the dusty courtyard. In a rousing rendition of the national anthem, they sang, “For the country, for our forefathers, let us march united.” Then Chantal Kenol, a director, raised a bullhorn.

“We’re postponing the start of classes until next week,” she announced, explaining more repairs were needed and acknowledging this was “not good news.”

Freezing briefly, the students erupted in moans. One voice rang out: “No, not good news!

Not at all, not at all!”

A new plan for reforming Haiti’s weak educational system envisions a publicly funded network of privately managed schools, similar to what has developed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It calls for subsidies to and accreditation of the nonpublic schools that educate some 82 percent of Haitian students.

But, like the College Classique Feminin (known as CCF), many independent schools are in danger of collapsing financially before such a public-private partnership can be realized. They are struggling to reopen and stay open, to rebuild, and to retain student students and teachers.

Forty-six years after its founding, CCF, a once-elite school catering to lower-middle-class girls who aspire to be the doctors, engineers and teachers of Haiti’s future, is fighting for its life. So are many other battered institutions, from hospitals to universities, during this limbo period before reconstructions begins.

“You have to be really determined right now,” said Marie Alice Craft, another CCF director.

“If you’re not, the whole thing will fall apart, and we can’t allow that to happen. The adults are exhausted, but these kids deserve a future. We can’t let CCF fail, just like we can’t let Haiti fail.”

In the first week of October, Haiti’s reconstruction commission approved a $500 million Inter-American Development Bank project to reconstruct the educa-

Cholera deaths up; worse predicted The death toll in Haiti’s cholera epidemic has reached more than 900, the government reported Sunday, as aid groups rushed soap and clean water to a disaster-wracked population to fight the disease.

The Ministry of Health reported that as of Friday, there had been 917 deaths and more than 14,600 were hospitalized with cholera-like symptoms. That is up from the 724 deaths and 11,125 hospitalizations reported a few days before.

The disease has been found in six of Haiti’s 10 provinces, known as departments, and is most severe where it originated, in Artibonite, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the deaths.

Several epidemiologists have said the disease has not peaked and will likely worsen and break out in other regions of the country, with United Nations health officials estimating about 270,000 may be sickened in the coming years.

“The trend is increasing and it is propagating from tion sector. That same week, the back-to-school date of Oct. 4 proved little more than “symbolic,” as Pierre Michel Laguerre, the Education Ministry’s director general, put it.

With thousands of schools damaged or destroyed, hundreds of temporary replacements were still being built by UNICEF, the government, the Digicel Foundation and others. Schools had to be cleared of rubble and of displaced people; families had to scrape together money for uniforms and fees.

Neighborhood by neighborhood, students returned gradually to schools that possessed “the same deficits as before the earthquake — and then some,” said Jacky Lumarque, rector of Quisqueya University.

Before the earthquake, Haiti’s education system was, at worst, inaccessible — with half the primary school-age children not in school — and at best “mediocre,”

Resorts Continued from A1 “So there’s a lot of parties not getting along here, and not being able to come to an agreement on how best to get this overnight lodging built,” Craghead said.

The situation was ultimately resolved when the parties forged an agreement at the end of September to extend the deadline another year. But it revealed the growing complexity for Deschutes County officials of ensuring the changing owners of partially developed resorts fulfill the promises of the original resort developers and comply with laws.

Among destination resorts in Deschutes County, Tetherow has undergone the most changes in ownership recently. And more resort sales could be on the way, as Jeld-Wen, a Klamath Falls-based window and door manufacturer, recent put five of its properties up for sale, including Eagle Crest Resort near Redmond. Deschutes County has the most destination resorts of any county in Oregon.

An attorney for a land use watchdog organization says county officials need to begin planning for the failure of resorts, while county commissioners remained optimistic the situation will work itself out.

Paul Dewey, an attorney for Central Oregon LandWatch, said whenever county officials approve a destination resort, there are usually many conditions, ranging from overnight housing ratios to wildlife protection plans.

“And it’s very difficult for the county to keep track of those conditions of approval,” Dewey said.

“I can’t imagine how the county is going to hold the various owners of Tetherow accountable when it’s so difficult to keep track of who owns what, and therefore who has responsibility for what.”

Dewey said his organization has raised these issues before the commission for years.

“They need to start planning for what they do when these things fall apart,” Dewey said.

Commissioner Tammy Baney noted that because land use approvals run with a property, new owners are obligated to comply with conditions of approval. Baney anticipates more destination resort properties will go up for sale, because current owners are running out of funds in the down market, and she said any new owners should do their research and know the restrictions on the land they purchase.

As for lessons from the troubled resort real estate market, Baney said policymakers should encourage smaller resorts or additions to existing resorts.

“I don’t believe our economy will go back to what it had then,” Baney said.

Commissioner Dennis Luke said resorts can still be successful in the long run, despite ownership changes, and land use laws do not need to change.

“It’s based on the law, and if people don’t like the law, they should change it,” Luke said. “I think the law is sufficient.”

Commissioner Alan Unger agreed with Baney that new resort owners must comply with previous land use conditions or apply for changes. Sometimes changes are necessary when the market has shifted, he said.

“I want them to be successful,” Unger said.

New property owners must comply with development conditions previously approved for their land. When a new owner takes over part or all of a resort, the owner can apply to change the type of development originally envisioned and approved

department to department,” Roc Magliore, the Ministry of Health’s epidemiologist, said in a telephone interview on Sunday. He referred questions to the ministry’s director general, Gabriel Timothee, who could not be reached.

Hospitals in Port-au-Prince, where more than 1 million earthquake refugees live in congested, squalid tent encampments, are overflowing with patients exhibiting cholera symptoms, and the death toll there has reached 27. The disease was first reported in the capital on Nov. 8.

President Rene Preval, at a conference on the disease on Sunday in Port-au-Prince, urged people to wash their hands frequently and drink only potable water, The Associated Press reported. But even before the earthquake, most of the population lacked access to clean water and sanitation.

Cholera, a bacteria that thrives in feces-contaminated water, causes severe diarrhea and vomiting that can dehydrate and kill its victims in hours without treatment.

— New York Times News Service as a presidential commission on education said. “Many people called teachers and many places called schools were in fact not,” said Mohamed Fall, UNICEF’s education chief here.

In the final count, some 174 students returned to CCF, short of the school’s minimum enrollment to make ends meet. The directors began to harbor doubts they could sustain the legacy they inherited.

Some parents, like Pierre Richard Milfort, said that if CCF did shut down, he might take advantage of his American visa and abandon Haiti. “It would be a signal that everything really is coming undone,” he said.

But Caroline Begein, 15, and her class secretary, refused to contemplate that her school might die. She put her hand over her ears, said, “No! Stop!” adding, “It would be very disastrous — for me personally and for Haiti.”

Recent changes in resort ownership in Deschutes County Thornburgh (planned) Since the 1950s, Everett Thornburgh owned much of the land where the resort is planned. Kameron DeLashmutt, the planned resort’s manager and CEO, is his grandson.

2009: Parker Group Investments LLC, a West Linn firm that loaned $11.3 million to DeLashmutt, initiated foreclosure proceedings on part of the resort property. Negotiations are ongoing.

for the resort — just like a company that has owned a resort continuously can do, Planning Director Nick Lelack said.

However, the amount of work required for county planners to stay on top of the changes depends on how far along the resort is in development — earlier stages require significantly more county resources — and whether multiple groups together own the entire resort, or if each owns a separate section.

“I don’t think initially it was anticipated that resorts would have multiple owners for different elements of their projects,” Lelack said. “Resorts were intended to be master planned, and all of the pieces would be coordinated and implemented as they are developed.”

Mountain View Hospital’s board of directors has signed off on a construction budget for an approximately $36 million expansion of the Madras facility.

The hospital, which serves patients from across Jefferson County, was built in 1967. Since then, it has undergone a half-dozen remodel projects, but officials said growth in the community and changing health care trends made it clear that it was time for a larger change.

“We’ve had smaller remodels over the years, but most of them were tempo- “It’s a strong rary solutions to kind of stake in the create the platform for the short run,” said Joe Smith, ground that the hospital’s interim health care CEO. “But in order to have the platform we’re going in Jefferson to have for the next 25, 30 County is going years, we determined that a fairly substantial new to move to the construction project was next level.” needed.”

Hospital interim Mountain View spokes- CEO woman Liz Martin said the first step will be a new building that will be located behind the current hospital. The new space will house the emergency department, patient rooms, a family birthing unit, and the kitchen and dining areas, among other facilities.

Once that building is finished, a section of the old hospital will be demolished. Some operations, including administration, finance and billing, will remain in the older section of the facility, which will be remodeled.

110,000 square feet In total, Mountain View Hospital will be about 110,000 square feet in size. The new portion of the facility will be about 60,000 square feet.

Smith said hospital officials came up with the plans after doing about two years of feasibility studies and reviewing data about hospital use.

They considered doing a full remodel project but found it would be more expensive than building a new facility. He said changes in medical technology have made it difficult to operate in an older space designed for a different type of operation.

For Central Oregonians hoping to see more snow, it’s going to be a good week.

Today’s high temperatures, which should top out in the upper 40s and low 50s in Bend, will be among the warmest we’ll see for the next several days, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

There will be a slight chance of rain this morning, with showers likely to continue through the afternoon and into the evening with winds of 10 to 20 miles per hour. Meteorolo-

gist Rob Brooks said the showers aren’t expected to produce a significant amount of rain.

“What you’ve got going on is kind of a north flow that’s streaming down the mountainside, so it will be kind of hit and miss,” he said.

Tonight, temperatures will drop into the mid- to upper 30s and winds will pick up to 15 to 25 miles per hour.

Partly cloudy skies and a chance of showers are again in the forecast for Tuesday, when high temperatures are expected to be in the mid40s during the day and drop into the low 30s overnight.

On Wednesday, temperatures will

briefly warm up into the high 40s, but skies will remain partly cloudy.

Much of the area could be in for rain, with snow in the higher elevations.

Overnight, lows will dip just below freezing, and rain and snow showers will likely continue, Brooks said.

“The snow is in the higher elevations, so it shouldn’t be much of a worry to you guys there in Bend,” he said.

By Thursday evening, however, the snow level will drop to lower elevations. During the day, temperatures will top out in the upper 30s to low 40s, but overnight lows are expected to be in the high 20s.

Elevations of about 3,000 to 3,500 feet could see snow during the evening hours.

On Friday, temperatures will warm slightly, into the upper 30s, but snow could move back into the area on Friday night, as temperatures again drop below the freezing mark.

Snow is likely again Saturday and Sunday, Brooks said.

“We’re sitting right in the path of moisture being funneled in after a system,” he said.

Burning of debris piles begins today along Highway 97 Bulletin staff report

The Forest Service will be burning debris piles along U.S. Highway 97 starting today and continuing for about a week, depending on the weather.

The burning will take place on both sides of the highway between the south side of Bend and Vandevert Road, according to Lisa Clark with the Ochoco National Forest.

The road should remain open, but the burning may at times create smoky conditions. No road closures are planned. If the smoke becomes thick enough, motorists may need to turn on their headlights.

Signs along the highway will indicate that prescribed burns are under way. The smoke and flames may be seen near the highway for days.

The fuels will be piles of material cleared by the Oregon Department of Transportation during roadwork on the highway.

The planned burns are an effort to reduce the fire danger along the road and to the nearby communities.

Clark said there was an attempt to reduce the amount of material burned by contributing to the biomass and firewood markets.

There were more than 353 human- and lightning-caused fires in Central Oregon since the beginning of 2010. They covered more than 16,000 acres, according to the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.

Those totals do not include the Rooster Rock Fire near Sisters that began Aug. 2. It burned about 6,100 acres of mostly private land. A joint investigation by the Deschutes National Forest and the Oregon Department of Forestry was unable to determine the cause of that fire.

Dive teams search for missing 8-year-old boy

PORTLAND — Hours after surrounding a southeast Portland home, police found a man dead inside who apparently shot himself.

Police used a video-equipped bomb squad robot to explore the home and found the 42year-old man inside. About 60 law enforcement officers had surrounded the home after hearing a shot fired while they were approaching the home to follow up on a welfare check requested by the Department of Human Services.

Nearby homes were evacuated during the investigation but residents were able to return.

PORTLAND — Diving teams are again searching a northwest Portland island for missing 8-year-old Kyron Horman.

Lt. Mary Lindstrand of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office says the teams were at Sauvie Island on Saturday looking for clues.

The island has been a focal point in the past in the search for Kyron, who vanished June 4 after a science fair at his elementary school.

Lindstrand says the search was part of the ongoing investigation and not based on any new information.

O Cutbacks dig into special ed Officials hope clause in federal law will prevent sanctions from reaching state

grams, juvenile corrections or to those who have vision or hearing impairments.

As part of the across-theboard cuts, the education department reduced dollars for early childhood programs, hospital programs and other regional services.

“A sanction at the state level would put an additional hardship on our school districts that are already struggling.”

— Nancy Latini, assistant superintendent for the office of student learning and partnership, Oregon Department of Education

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Oregon state dollars for special education have decreased because of budget cuts, and now state officials are working to avoid federal sanctions.

Federal special education law requires states to support special education at the same level or higher from year to year or face penalties. But Oregon’s 2010-11 special education funding is down about $19 million compared with the previous school year.

Federal funding at risk Oregon Department of Education officials hope a clause in the federal law that makes an exception for uncontrollable circumstances and unforeseen declines in state resources will help them avoid a cut in federal dollars for special education.

‘Maintenance of effort’ If the waiver request is denied, the federal government will reduce its contribution to the state by $19 million for the 2011-12 school year — a 15 percent cut.

“A sanction at the state level would put an additional hardship on our school districts that are already struggling,” said Nancy Latini, Oregon Department of Education’s assistant superintendent for the office of student learning and partnership.

Oregon isn’t the only state considering this option. So far, at least five states — Iowa, Kansas, South Carolina, Alabama and West Virginia — have requested waivers.

Nancy Reder, deputy executive director for the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, said she’s not

surprised that states are seeking the normally hard-to-get exemption. In fact, Reder said she expects to see more.

“Given the budget shortfalls of the states, I think this is a real area of concern going forward,” Reder said. “I think states are working really hard to get the funding in, but state budgets are slow to bounce back.”

Governor-ordered cuts Gov. Ted Kulongoski has twice ordered across-the-board state budget cuts. The Oregon Department of Education receives money to support special education programs within its department and to provide direct special education services to kids, mostly in early childhood pro-

Photography exhibit features imprisoned pregnant women

By Karen McCowan

(Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — Cheryl HannaTruscott is happy to share her photographs of children born to — and tended by — incarcerated women at a Washington state prison.

She asks only one thing in return: Don’t call her young subjects “babies behind bars.”

That label is sensationalistic and misleading, she said, and crops up often in media reports on the residential parenting program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.

“It conjures an image of babies being in a bare cell behind a grate of bars,” said Hanna-Truscott, a certified nurse-midwife who works as a medical evaluator at a center for abused children.

But as her documentary photographs — exhibited in Eugene — show, the only bars in these children’s rooms are those on the sides of their cribs.

Special wing in prison Only non-dangerous inmates who will complete their sentences within 30 months of their baby’s birth can apply to the program. Those selected live in a special wing of the prison’s minimum security area, HannaTruscott said.

“They live in their own small room — like a college dorm room — with just enough space for a bed, a crib, a desk and a clothing locker,” she said.

The concept may sound like coddling criminals, but it’s really about breaking the often generational cycle of substance abuse and criminal behavior by teaching women how to effectively nurture their children, HannaTruscott said.

She will discuss images from her seven-year documentary project on Thursday at the University of Oregon Law School, as part of The Portia Project’s annual conference. The Eugenebased nonprofit organization provides legal representation to the 1,000-plus women incarcerated at Oregon’s Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville and to former inmates on postprison supervision across the state.

The Portia Project also works to educate the public about the “intended and unintended consequences” of the growth of Oregon’s prison population as a result of mandatory sentencing laws — which Oregon voters just this month agreed to expand.

To that end, this year’s conference, “Prisons and People:

A Focus on Women and Their Children” is free and open to the public. The conference also will feature a keynote speech by Coffee Creek Correctional Facility Superintendent Nancy Howton, and a screening of “A Sentence for Two,” Randi Jacobs’ documentary film about four Oregon women who bore children while in prison.

‘Voiceless’ group Hanna-Truscott calls incarcerated pregnant women and their babies “some of our nation’s most forgotten, hidden and voiceless groups.”

“My work seeks to raise questions about how our nation can offer best practices for this vulnerable population while still serving public safety needs,” she said.

She herself “had never given much thought to inmates, let alone pregnant inmates,” she confessed, until a friend who knew her photography skills asked her to volunteer taking pictures of incarcerated mothers and their families during holiday visits.

“So many of the women (there) were like grown-up versions of the children I’d see at the child abuse clinic,” she said. “Many would talk about being sexually abused or given drugs by parents as children … almost every one of the women in this unit had substance abuse issues, most borne from earlier trauma.”

Some of those cuts were mitigated with money from other areas, but the federal government doesn’t take that into account when evaluating what they call “maintenance of effort.”

If Oregon is granted a one-time waiver for the 2010-11 school year, the state’s 2011-12 funding must match the 2009-10 level, not the lower 2010-11 number. And that could be a challenge with the state government facing an estimated $3.2 billion budget gap for the 2011-13 biennium.

“We’ve brought our legislators into the conversation already,” Latini said.

“Our legislative history has been to maintain those programs. It’s not something that would typically be a barrier, except in this economy.”

Central Oregon organization for their continued support in improving the aesthetics of neighborhoods throughout the city.

Learn more about your City and help others at the same time by becoming a volunteer Bend City Hall Greeter. Greeters staff a desk in the City Hall lobby to answer general questions from the public and provide information about department locations and hours, as well as information on other community services and events. All training is provided.

The Heart Campaign has painted over 3,600 fire hydrants as part of the Hydrant Painting Program.

This program not only beautifies the hydrants, but insures that they are protected from the damaging effects of the sun and winter weather. The Heart Campaign’s efforts in volunteerism have a direct impact on the cost associated with maintaining the fire hydrant network and their sense of community is truly an inspiration.

The City Hall Greeter is often someone’s first impression of the City and needs to be friendly, have excellent communication skills, and the ability to interact with a wide-range of people of diverse ages and backgrounds. Volunteers are asked to commit two to three hours a week for six months. In return, volunteers will learn more about how their city operates, meet new people and provide an important service to their community.

“The history of working together and the values we share for future abundance is too important to leave to this flawed and inadequate document,” the letter said.

For 10 years, funding has ranged from $11 million to $16 million for annual hatchery operation funding of 62 programs.

They have produced more than 71 million fish each year. Congress has not appropriated the money to operate the hatcheries next year.

The five operating and funding scenarios included in the draft consider multiple options, but none includes increasing fish production.

Clatsop County Manager Duane Cole said the focus should be on developing resources needed to adequately support the hatchery system. The current funding of $12.5 million should be boosted to $35 million to $40 million, he said.

Are you putting off Allergy Care because of cost?

Parenting programs She now sees her photos as “really a plea” for Oregon and other states to consider residential parenting programs.

“I think we have to acknowledge that some of these women needed to be stopped in their tracks, needed to come here,” she said. “But then, what do you do when you get them here?”

Hanna-Truscott knew the crucial importance of healthy maternal-child attachments from her work as a nurse-midwife and with abused children.

The residential program can intervene to help foster such bonds “when these mothers are captive, sober and in a structured environment where, given certain tools, it could change their destiny,” she said.

At the Washington prison, those tools include Early Head Start educators working with the mothers to help them appreciate child development and the importance of being healthy and present for their baby, Hanna-

ASTORIA — Four counties say a draft federal plan for managing lower Columbia River fish hatcheries is “flawed” and “inadequate.”

Officials from Clatsop and Columbia counties in Oregon and Pacific and Wahkiakum counties in Washington wrote a letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding how the federally funded hatcheries will be managed.

The Daily Astorian reports the federal agency’s draft environmental statement spells out five potential operating scenarios for the hatcheries funded with money under the Mitchell Act, the law that provides federal dollars for conservation of Columbia River basin salmon and steelhead.

The counties said the 1,100page document is divisive and assumes that fish production will not increase. It does not acknowledge basin-by-basin efforts to restore fish runs, county officials said, and they claim they were not consulted in the process. They requested that it be withdrawn.

Keep fire safe As the weather cools and activities shift from outdoors to indoors, take a few minutes to check both your work and home environments for safety issues. Please review these items and take action where needed: Heating Appliances – Anything that produces heat needs space around it. Check portable space heaters, wall heaters, baseboard heaters, fireplaces and wood stoves to ensure there is 36 inches of space between the appliance and anything that can burn. While you’re there, now is a great time to make sure that heaters are clean and free from dust and have fireplaces and

Electrical Cords & Outlets – Inspect all electrical cords for cracks and frays. Extension cords are designed to be used as a temporary source of power. Make sure any that you are using are able to handle the amount of current demanded by the appliance and consider changes to reduce or eliminate the use of extension cords. Check electrical outlets to ensure that they are not overloaded. Use of multi-plug adapters can easily lead to overloading.

Candles – Many businesses and homes use scented candles during the fall and winter months. Never leave burning candles unattended. Use candle holders which are sturdy, not combustible, and cannot be tipped over easily. Better yet, go flameless! Battery operated candles are available which are scented and flicker just like a real candle but without the fire hazard.

Harsh message on debt reform

A

lan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, who co-chair President Obama’s deficit-reduction commission, strapped on their 50-pound boots last week and set off in search

of sensitive toes. They didn’t have far to clomp.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the outgoing House speaker, immediately blasted the draft proposal as “unacceptable,” as it presumably fails to do “what is right for our children and grandchildren’s economic security as well as for our nation’s fiscal security, and it must do what is right for our seniors, who are counting on the bedrock promises of Social Security and Medicare.”

Translation: You can’t cut spending that much, no matter how disastrous the nation’s current course might be.

Those on the other end of the spending spectrum yelped, too. As noted by The New York Times, the website of Americans for Tax Reform warned lawmakers that “Support for the commission chair plan would be a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which over 235 congressmen and 41 senators have made to their constituents.”

Translation: You can’t raise taxes that much, no matter how disastrous the nation’s current course might be.

There’s plenty of room between these two extremes, but you can be sure that everyone who’s read the plan has found something in it to dislike. Fortunately, many Americans — hopefully most — know that a nationwide epidemic of bruised toes is a lot better than the alternative, which is, fiscally speaking, the loss of a limb or two. Unless the United States stabilizes, then reduces, the national debt, Simpson and Bowles warned, “we could spend $1 trillion a year in interest alone by 2020.”

The plan’s details are less important than their cumulative effect, which is to communicate the difficulty of treating the nation’s debt addiction.

The proposal, after all, is simply the work of the panel’s chairs, not a recommendation from the entire panel.

And even if it were, Congress is under no obligation to act on it. But as conversation starters go, the proposal has certainly succeeded. As Simpson observed last week, he and Bowles have “harpooned every whale and some of the minnows.”

Perhaps the biggest — and certainly the most interesting — of the dead whales is the nation’s bloated income tax code, which Simpson and Bowles would like to reform, perhaps along the lines of a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. Broadly speaking, the proposal would reduce the number of tax brackets, lower individual and corporate rates and do away with irritations like the alternative minimum tax. Meanwhile, it would eliminate the innumerable tax credits and deductions that add bewildering complexity to the code.

This house cleaning would, in effect, raise taxes dramatically and more than offset the plan’s tax cuts.

Like many Americans, we’re not thrilled about such a prospect, and we trust nothing of the sort would

The commission’s chairs have made a painful truth clear: We can’t dig our way out of our debt hole through spending cuts or tax cuts alone. The solution will have to involve a combination of both, and that means angry protests from all sides. happen until the economy improves dramatically. But if necessary, such a code revision would have two beneficial effects: It would, of course, raise money to reduce debt, and it would eliminate many of the built-in costs of tax compliance.

Another harpooned behemoth is Social Security, which would see both higher taxes for some and reduced benefits for almost all. Particularly controversial is a proposal to raise the full retirement age from 67 — the target set by current law — to 69. The shift, of course, would happen very gradually.

The retirement age wouldn’t hit 68 until 2050 and 69 until 2075. Nevertheless, those on the redistributionist extreme are already enraged.

The howling’s going to continue, no matter what basket of reforms Congress ultimately considers. After all, every one of Washington’s great whales supports a population of special-interest barnacles. If a nonbinding draft proposal by two members of a so-far silent commission can generate this much controversy, just imagine what lies in wait.

We suspect that Americans won’t have to rely upon their imaginations for long. The commission’s chairs have made a painful truth clear: We can’t dig our way out of our debt hole through spending cuts or tax cuts alone. The solution will have to involve a combination of both, and that means angry protests from all sides.

What’s Congress to do? First, it must keep in mind the consequences of doing nothing — you know, like $1 trillion in annual debt payments by the time a second-grader today is old enough to attend college. Second, Congress must connect tax increases immediately with spending cuts and debt payments. Hiking taxes now while promising to cut later will backfire. Taxpayers will accept badly bruised toes, however reluctantly, but only if they know that their sacrifice will put the country on solid footing.

My Nickel’s Worth Jobs through art Recently, elegant words have been repeating in my mind: “What good is it to teach our kids to read and write if there is nothing for them to read and write about?” A more stark statement couldn’t be uttered. Education is not just about the correct answer, but about our ability to communicate with each other about our individual experiences, beliefs and philosophies.

This means each of us must embrace creativity, differences and personal perspectives. We then must communicate those conversations through images, words and activities to enrich us all.

These are the seeds of compromise, advancement and mutual benefit for everyone involved.

Recently, hundreds of people actively supported this dialogue. Bend played host to The Nature of Words’ “literary festival,” which brought world-renowned authors into Central Oregon to lecture, speak and educate with the goal of opening our eyes to the power of creativity and engagement with life.

No suit We recognize that the lease of space in the Brookswood Meadow Plaza by the DMV is a controversial issue. However, we have seen no written data from the RiverRim Association or in The Bulletin to support the fear of the DMV when compared to another business leasing the same space. We have heard a lot of talk about traffic and “strangers” (dangerous people from other parts of Bend). The city of Bend has not indicated that there is a significant zoning issue that we are aware of nor have we heard of the city proposing changes in the traffic laws; e.g., lower speed limits or extending the school zone near RiverRim. We are opposed to the RiverRim Association’s suit against the state for two reasons. One, we do not want our money wasted on a useless suit, and two, the board failed to follow its own rules by not putting the litigation to a vote of the members beforehand.

As a protest, we are prepared to withhold our Association assessment payments until the Association withdraws its name from the suit.

Ground zero project fine I am writing regarding the Oct. 30 guest column titled, “Americans should defend Muslim project near ground zero.”

Last Sept. 12, on a cold and dreary day, I had the opportunity to tour the ground zero area in Manhattan with a friend of mine from New Jersey.

Her family was deeply touched by the tragedy. Her son was attending his first day of ninth grade directly across from the World Trade Center when 9/11 occurred. He watched the events unfold while his teachers and classmates were in shock knowing their friends and relatives were in the Twin Towers. He helped people onto the ferry outside the back of his building. My girlfriend personally knew many first responders who were killed. So you would think she of all people would be protesting the Muslim project near ground zero. Wrong! She said she did not have a problem with the community center and was not against their building it.

Another friend who lives in Manhattan, a physical therapist who worked at a hospital where people were brought on 9/11, was living just blocks away when it happened. I asked her opinion of the Muslim building project, and she said she had no problem with it and said words that I will always remember: “The further away from New York you get, the louder people protest it.”

Obama’s expensive trip to India was worth every penny CHARLES M KRAUTHAMMER

WASHINGTON — uch grousing about the expense of President Obama’s India trip is silly and vindictive. The one thing this country owes its leader is to spare no expense in protecting him. Especially when his first stop is Mumbai, scene of one of the most savage and sustained terror attacks in modern times.

It is protested that Britain’s prime minister took a British Air flight when he traveled here in July. So what? To be blunt about it: A once-imperial middle power flies commercial; America flies colossal. Why do you think we built that 747 flying palace emblazoned with the presidential insignia — if not to land to awestruck crowds wherever it goes?

There was grumbling about the White House taking over every room at Mumbai’s five-star Taj Mahal Palace hotel.

What is the Secret Service to do? Allow suites to be let to, say, groups of Pakistani madrassa instructors?

I will admit that Indian authorities went somewhat overboard when they

cut down the coconuts surrounding the Gandhi museum in Mumbai. I am no expert on this, having never been subject to a coconut attack, but it seems to me that a free-falling coconut is no match for an armored car built to withstand anything short of a small nuclear device. Now perhaps the enemy, always racing one step ahead of us, is working on the dreaded RPC — the rocket-propelled coconut. I’m not privy to all the intelligence here, and, try as I may, I could get nothing out of the Coconut Desk at the CIA. Nonetheless, to this outsider, the anti-coconut measures seemed a bit excessive.

But I digress. The only alternative to drawing down the Treasury to move the president around safely is not to go at all.

And that’s not an alternative. Presidential visits are the highest form of diplomacy, and the symbolism alone carries enormous weight. No one remembers what Nixon did in China; what changed the world is that Nixon went to China.

The India visit was particularly necessary in light of Obama’s bumbling over-

enthusiasm in his 2009 trip to China in which he lavished much time, energy and praise upon his hosts and then oddly tried to elevate Beijing to a G-2 partnership, a kind of two-nation world condominium. Worse, however, was Obama suggesting a Chinese role in South Asia — an affront to India’s autonomy and regional dominance, and a signal of U.S. acquiescence to Chinese hegemony.

This hegemony is the growing source of tension in Asia today. Modern China is the Germany of a century ago — a rising, expanding, have-not power seeking its place in the sun. The story of the first half of the 20th century was Europe’s attempt to manage Germany’s rise. We know how that turned out. The story of

the next half-century will be how Asia accommodates and/or contains China’s expansion.

Nor is this some far-off concern. China’s aggressive territorial claims on resource-rich waters claimed by Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan are already roiling the neighborhood. Traditionally, Japan has been the major regional counterbalance. But an aging, shrinking Japan can no longer sustain that role. Symbolic of the dramatic shift in power balance between once-poor China and once-dominant Japan was the resolution of their recent maritime crisis. Japan had detained a Chinese captain in a territorial waters dispute. China imposed a rare-earth mineral embargo. Japan capitulated.

That makes the traditional U.S. role as offshore balancer all the more important.

China’s neighbors from South Korea all the way around to India are in need of U.S. support of their own efforts at resisting Chinese dominion.

And of all these countries, India, which

has fought a border war with China, is the most natural anchor for such a U.S. partnership. It’s not just our inherent affinities — democratic, English-speaking, free-market, dedicated to the rule of law.

It is also the coincidence of our strategic imperatives: We both face the common threat of radical Islam and the more longterm challenge of a rising China.

Which is why Obama’s dramatic call for India to be elevated to permanent member of the Security Council was so important. However useless and obsolete the U.N., a Security Council seat carries totemic significance. It elevates India, while helping bind it to us as our most strategic and organic Third World ally.

China is no enemy, but it remains troublingly adversarial. Which is why India must be the center of our Asian diplomacy. And why Obama’s trip — coconuts and all — was worth every penny.

Wes Santee, 78, Kansas track star and Hall of Famer The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Wes Santee, a Kansas track star, Olympian and member of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, died Sunday after a fight with cancer. He was 78.

Daughter Susie Santee said her father died at his home in Eureka.

Santee, an Ashland, Kan., native, set world records in the 1,500 meters and the indoor mile. He also won NCAA championships in the mile and 5,000, and won the NCAA crosscountry championship in 1953 when his University of Kansas squad won the team title.

“Wes Santee was one of KU’s all-time greats, not just in track and field, but in the history of Kansas athletics,” Kansas interim athletic director Sean Lester said in a release Sunday. “He loved KU, and the entire Kansas family will miss him. Our hearts go out to his family.”

Santee is best known for his competition with Roger Bannister of England and John Landy of Australia from 1952 to 1954 to be the first runner to break 4 minutes for the mile. Bannister eventually did it, with a time of 3:59.4 on May 6, 1954.

As a 20-year-old college sophomore, Santee made the 1952 U.S. Olympic team in the 5,000, a distance he had run only a few times.

He was the best American at 1,500 that year, but Amateur Athletic Union officials refused to allow him to compete for the Olympic team in that event on the grounds that he had already made the team in the 5,000 — an arbitrary ruling that had no legal basis.

Santee ended up competing in the 5,000 at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, but didn’t win a medal.

At one point, Santee had run three of the four fastest mile times in history.

One of those came in June 1954, in a race in the Los Angeles Coliseum against Olympic champion Josef Barthel.

Henryk Gorecki, wrote Theodore hit symphony, dies at 76 Kheel, labor mediator, dies at 96

By Allan Kozinn

New York Times News Service

Henryk Gorecki, a renowned Polish composer whose early avant-garde style gave way to more approachable works rooted in his country’s folk songs and sacred music and whose Symphony No. 3 — an extended lamentation subtitled “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs” — sold more than 1 million copies on CD in the 1990s, died Friday in Katowice, Poland. He was 76.

Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa, the general director of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, announced Gorecki’s death, telling The Associated Press that he had been hospitalized with a lung infection. Gorecki lived in Katowice.

Gorecki, who with Witold Lutoslawski and Kzysztof Penderecki was one of Poland’s most revered contemporary composers, wrote music that often played with the extremes of musical expression. In works like “Old Polish Music” (1969), blocks of assertive, high-energy brass writing are juxtaposed with eerie, slow-moving, pianissimo string passages.

His intensely focused “Beatus Vir” (1979) and “Totus Tuus” (1987), both dedicated to Pope John Paul II, draw on the simplicity of traditional chant as well as richly harmonized, intensely focused choral writing and, in the case of “Beatus Vir,” monumental orchestral scoring. And in “Already It Is Dusk” (1988), his first string quartet, Gorecki reconfigures Polish dances and dirges, casting the more outgoing sections in acidic harmonies that give the score a searing, angry edge.

But the work for which Gorecki is most widely known, Symphony No. 3 (1976), explores the gradations of a single mood: somber, introspective reflection, conveyed in three long, slow, quiet movements that last nearly an hour.

Scored for orchestra and soprano, the work’s vocal sections include settings of a 15th-century sacred lamentation, a simple prayer (“Oh Mamma do not cry — Immaculate Queen of Heaven support me always”) scrawled by a young girl on the wall of a Gestapo prison in southern Poland, and a plaintive Polish folk song in which a mother grieves for a son lost in war.

Gorecki surrounds these texts with a compelling amalgam of lush neo-Romanticism; open, entirely consonant tonality; and a gradual unfolding of themes and textures that struck many listeners as a distinctly Eastern European approach to Minimalism.

The work quickly took on a life of its own. In 1985, French director Maurice Pialat used an excerpt from the symphony on the soundtrack to “Police,” a film starring Gerard Depardieu. A recording of the full work, conducted

by Ernest Bour, with soprano Stefania Woytowicz, was released on the Erato label, and although it was packaged as a soundtrack album for “Police” — a film virtually unknown in the United States — it proved a first encounter with Gorecki’s music for many American listeners. Two more recordings were released, both with Woytowicz as the soloist.

But the work did not achieve its explosive success — a surprise, given its

Polish composer Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki directs the American Kronos Quartet during a rehearsal in Katowice, Poland, in November 2007. Gorecki, 76, who was best known for his Symphony No. 3 (1976), died Friday in Katowice after suffering from a lung infection and other illnesses.

Theodore W. Kheel, who was New York City’s pre-eminent labor peacemaker from the 1950s through the 1980s, a mediator and arbitrator sought after by both City Hall and the White House to help avert or end strikes of crippling consequence, died Friday. He was 96 and lived in Manhattan.

His death was confirmed Sunday by Edward Nebb, a family spokesman.

Kheel, who played a pivotal role in ending newspaper, teacher and subway strikes in New York, was the go-to guy for mayors, labor leaders and business executives during the postWorld War II era, when unions were far more powerful than they are now and a savvy, respected ringmaster was often needed to pressure and cajole all sides to reach a settlement.

Mayor Robert Wagner Jr. turned to Kheel to help end the 114-day newspaper strike of 196263, and President Lyndon Johnson summoned Kheel to Washington in 1964 to help mediate 10 days of feverish negotiations that prevented a nationwide rail walkout.

In a flood of articles hailing his successes at resolving myriad conflicts, he was described as “the most influential peacemaker in New York City in the last half-century” and the “master locksmith of deadlock bargaining.” In 1970, The New Yorker called him “the one man best able to keep in working order a substantial portion of the sputtering labor machinery not only in New York City, but over much of the Eastern Seaboard.”

Not only was Kheel New York’s leading mediator, he was also its premier arbitrator, deciding more than 30,000 disputes ranging from whether the city’s plans to introduce a new bus service violated the transit union’s contract to whether a worker should be suspended because he was seen walking his dog on a day he had called in sick.

Living the high life unceasingly mournful character — until a recording by the soprano Dawn Upshaw, with David Zinman conducting the London Sinfonietta, was released on the Nonesuch label in 1992. The recording became a radio hit in Britain, where it broke into the Top 10 on the Music Week pop chart, and sold more than a million copies worldwide. For a while, Nonesuch said, it was selling 10,000 copies a day in the United States.

The symphony was subsequently used as soundtrack music in Peter Weir’s “Fearless” (1993) and Julian Schnabel’s “Basquiat” (1996). Samples of the score were also used in recordings by several pop groups, most notably “Gorecki” by the English band Lamb.

Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki was born in the village of Czernica on Dec. 6, 1933, to parents who were amateur musicians. He began studying the violin when he was 10, and later took up the clarinet and piano. By the early 1950s, he was composing songs and piano works while earning a living as a teacher. In 1955, he enrolled at the Music Academy in Katowice, where he

spent the next five years as a composition student of Boleslaw Szabelski.

But he was already beginning to make his name in Polish avant-garde circles with works like the Four Preludes (1955) for piano and the contrastrich Sonata for Two Violins (1957).

In “Epitafium” (1958), for mixed choir and instruments, he began experimenting with the spatial placement of his performing forces. In the Symphony No. 1 (1959) and “Scontri” (“Collisions,” 1960), he experimented with Serialism (in which a composer must use all 12 tones of the chromatic scale in equal proportion) and with the textural contrasts — dense clusters versus spare, pointillistic solo lines — that would become a hallmark in his later music.

Gorecki received honorary doctorates from the University of Warsaw, the Music Academy in Krakow and Concordia University in Quebec, and an honorary fellowship from Cardiff University. Last month Bronislaw Komorowski, the president of Poland, visited Gorecki in the hospital to award him the country’s highest honor, the Order of the White Eagle.

Even though Kheel handled disputes for bakers, garbage collectors, plumbers, subway conductors, tugboat captains and undertakers, he was an unabashed bon vivant, fond of fast sports cars and fine food.

He once owned a stake in Le Pavillon, a leading French restaurant in Manhattan, and leased wine bin No. 1 at both the Rainbow Room and Windows on the World. He also represented numerous artists, including Robert Rauschenberg and Christo.

Kheel juggled enough obligations to keep a half-dozen people busy — he served as chairman of Republic National Bank, he was president of the National Urban League from 1956 to 1960, and he wrote a 10-volume treatise on labor law.

He also made millions of dollars as an entrepreneur; he was the lead investor in the giant Punta Cana resort, built along 30 miles of jungle in the Dominican Republic, and chairman of a company that distributed MasterCards to more than 1.4 million union members.

During his more than half a century of involvement in labor matters, Kheel was known above all else for his extraordinary ability to get feuding parties to make concessions to reach an agreement. His efforts included helping coordinate bargainers and mediators during the 35day New York City teachers’ strike in 1968.

Glen GoodKnight II, 69, Tolkien enthusiast

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — For a man preoccupied with all things Tolkien, his name appeared invented: Glen Howard GoodKnight II. But it was authentic, down to the unexpected capital “K” that stands sentry like a castle in Middle-earth.

In 1967, he was a history major at California State, Los Angeles, when he organized a lighthearted picnic in Highland Park as a tribute to Bilbo and Frodo, two central characters in J.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.”

The event led GoodKnight to found the Mythopoeic Society, which is devoted to the serious study of Tolkien and other fantasy and mythological literature.

As chapters sprang up throughout the United States and Canada, he also started an annual conference in 1970 known as Mythcon that was held for the 41st time this year.

GoodKnight, who was a retired elementary school teacher, died of natural causes Nov. 3 at his Monterey Park home after several years of poor health, his

family said. He was 69.

A Los Angeles native, he grew up an enthusiastic patron of the public library, and as a teenager discovered the Inklings, a literary circle affiliated with the University of Oxford that included Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams.

GoodKnight’s interest in that trio of writers — coupled with a growing public fascination with Tolkien after an unauthorized version of “The Hobbit” was published in the United States in the mid-1960s — moved him to form the Mythopoeic Society, he wrote on his website.

To the governing board of the society, GoodKnight was nothing less than “a visionary” who “valued and encouraged Inklings scholarship before the field of Inklings studies existed,” according to a statement from the group.

He founded Mythlore, the society’s scholarly journal that started out as a fan magazine in 1969 and served as its editor for most of the next 30 years. He also instituted a monthly news bulletin called Mythprint.

“By reading and being ab-

sorbed in fantasy, we’re not deserting the real world,” GoodKnight told the Los Angeles Times in 1992. “We’re trying to make it better by opening up newer and higher vistas.”

He was born Oct. 1, 1941, the eldest of three children of Glen GoodKnight, who made his living doing odd jobs, and his wife, the former Mary Bray. His last name was an anglicized version of the German “Gutknecht,” according to his family.

Tolkien a ‘total shock’ In high school, he found reading Tolkien “a total shock and revelation.”

“Tolkien simply writes a very good story — the huge background and settings of his books really overtook me,” GoodKnight said in 1992 in The Times.

Searching for other such books, he discovered “The Chronicles of Narnia” by Lewis.

Days after graduating from Verdugo Hills High School in 1959, GoodKnight wrote to Lewis and received a handwritten letter in response that was one of his most valued possessions, he said

on his website dedicated to Narnia books.

Before graduating from Cal State LA in the late 1960s, GoodKnight won a student library competition for his collection of fantasy books, which was greatly enriched during a trip to the United Kingdom in 1975, two years after Tolkien died.

Upon meeting Tolkien’s daughter, Priscilla, he learned that she was raising money for charity by selling many first-edition translations of her father’s books in various languages.

“I returned the next day with two large empty suitcases, and

after much good talk, left later with all I could take away,” GoodKnight later wrote.

As of 1992, he owned about 700 Tolkien volumes published in 29 languages and said that he was only missing the versions in Armenian, Moldavian and Faeroese, a language spoken on islands near Iceland.

Maretron of Redmond helps make boats smarter

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

TECH FOCUS

I

REDMOND — n a corner of the High Desert, a handful of workers assembles navigation, weather and monitoring products to aid travel on the high seas.

The four employees at Maretron’s manufacturing plant, roughly 1,000 feet from the edge of the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, make marine electronic and networking equipment for commercial and recreational boats, such as tugboats, fireboats, offshore supply ships and pleasure craft larger than 40 feet.

“It doesn’t make much sense to have a network on a 25-foot boat. It makes more sense at 38 feet and above,” said Jeff Ingelse, vice president of manufacturing, and one of the four employees.

Ben Ellison, who writes about the marine electronics industry, said Maretron entered the market quietly, trying not to “bang elbows with the other players.”

By making good products that met updated industry data standards and also worked with other companies’ products, Maretron has become highly respected in the trade.

“They’re building more exotic sensors than anybody else,” said Ellison, editor of Panbo .com, a marine electronics industry blog, and writer for Cruising World and Yachting magazines.

Maretron’s wind-weather station, solid-state compass, GPS receiver and monitors for boat tanks, water depth, engine and other systems all hook into a shipwide network and can be displayed on shipboard monitors, a remote PC or even iPhones and Android-enabled devices.

Restoration work helps nature, new businesses thrive

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

As workers with J & S Trucking reconstructed a section of Whychus Creek this fall, placing logs in the banks and boulders in the creek bed to create fish habitat, the work was a far cry from what the company was doing a decade ago.

“We kind of got into it as a natural progression,” said Sean Kelly, owner of the Powell Butte company, which started as a trucking business. About seven years ago, they started focusing on heavy excavation, building roads and replacing culverts for federal land management agencies. Recently, they started work-

ing on specialized projects to restore creeks and waterways.

“During the building boom, guys really had to find a niche — and we really focused our attention away from the building boom and into the forest,” Kelly said.

“It’s paying off now.”

With efforts to return salmon and steelhead runs to the Upper Deschutes Basin, the passage of Measure 76 to renew lottery funding for restoration projects, and focused efforts to make the forests less prone to catastrophic wildfires, some businesses in Central Oregon that focus on ecosystem rehabilitation are seeing a demand for their services.

She also works with engineers, fish biologists, hydrologists and others to come up with a plant design for a restoration project.

Hoping to make use of jellyfish’s efficient design

By Lori Kozlowski Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — John Dabiri, assistant professor of aeronautics and bioengineering at Caltech who won a MacArthur Award this year, is fascinated by jellyfish. He believes jellyfish propulsion can inform engineering, which in turn can inform efficiency in wave and wind technology. He recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times.

Q: A:

mer internship with a professor (at Caltech). I started to understand that we can learn a lot from animal systems and apply that to different engineering technologies.

Q:

What’s the connection between engineering and jellyfish?

At the end of the day, when you look at fluid flows, whether it’s air or water or blood, they can all be described by the same equations.

The math and the physics don’t really care whether you’re talking about an airplane, a jellyfish or the human heart. So you can start to understand, for example, what makes a jellyfish efficient, and then use that information to design submarines that are more efficient, or diagnose when the heart is no longer performing efficiently.

SCIENCE

Is your background in engineering or biology or both?

I was trained as a mechanical engineer, and I always thought I’d end up working in the auto industry because I’m from the Midwest, and that’s what a lot of people do there. But when I went to college, one of my professors suggested I come out to do a sum-

Wife wants amendment to hubby’s law of equality Dear Abby: I have been married to “Leon” for 31⁄2 years.

We have a 2-year-old daughter and are, for the most part, happy. However, one issue comes up frequently and seems to be the basis of all of our disagreements.

Leon is hung up on things being “equal.” This can range from whose “turn” it is to do the dishes, change the diapers, put our daughter to bed — to exactly how many days we spend with each set of parents. If we travel to see my parents, we must also travel to see his.

This “equal” obsession drives me nuts. I’m fully in support of “fair,” but if I’m busy making dinner, it seems to me that he could change the baby’s diaper even if it’s my “turn.” As for visiting the in-laws, he became upset with me when I wanted to plan a trip to see my parents without simultaneously planning one to visit his. He felt shortchanged — until we added it up, and it turned out we’ve spent five weeks more with his family than with mine.

A marriage is a partnership, and I believe in picking up the slack when Leon is overwhelmed, sick or tired. Why can’t he do the same for me?

— Unfairly Equal in Phoenix Dear Unfairly Equal: Because, for whatever reason, your husband is obsessed with the idea that he’s going to get the short end of the stick — if you’ll forgive the vernacular. Either that, or he’s obsessive-compulsive and also counts steps, turns and other meaningless minutiae. That he would expect you to stop preparing dinner to change a diaper is, to put it mildly — yech! However, he isn’t going to change until he realizes he has a problem.

The incident involving visiting your parents should have been his first clue.

Dear Abby: How do I get my dad to stop making uncalled-for comments? I’m 13, and I’m ready

DEAR ABBY to stop inviting my friends over.

My father always seems to say the worst possible thing.

For example, my friend “Amanda” was over one day. She has low self-esteem and body image problems. She was complaining to me about how curly her hair gets after she swims. I reassured her that it wasn’t that bad, but then Dad came in and said, “Whoa! What’s that? Your hair looks like something out of the 1980s!”

I replied, “Dad, could you please be quiet?” and he glared at me and continued. He often asks my friends if they’re married yet, as a joke, and can’t take a hint when he’s the only one laughing. More than one of my friends have said they feel uncomfortable around him or just don’t like him.

If I try to bring it up, Dad reminds me that back in my fifthgrade class everyone liked him.

That was three years ago, and I have grown up and so have my friends. How do I teach Dad to take a hint?

— Mortified in Florida Dear Mortified: You don’t.

Because he won’t accept hearing it from you, it’s better he get the message from another adult that his attempts at humor are in poor taste and not funny.

Talk to your mother or another adult female relative, and tell her what your father is doing. If he keeps it up, you won’t have to worry about not inviting friends to your house because they won’t want to come over and be embarrassed.

Actors: the secrets of their success

By Luaine Lee

Scott Bakula (“Men of a Certain Age”) recalls a fellow actor who helped steer him through his initial days in New York.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Few of us get through life without a little help along the way. It may come from a mentor, a friend or a perfect stranger. Actors are no different, though they’ve chosen a field where the chances of success are milliliters thin.

Ben Affleck (“The Town”) says it was filmmaker Kevin Smith who helped him. “Kevin is the reason ‘Good Will Hunting’ got made,” says Affleck of the film he and Matt Damon wrote and starred in.

“Kevin is the reason I have a career and am playing meatier roles and not being stalked by obnoxious bad guys, bullies,” says Affleck.

“Kevin believed in me. When we were doing ‘Chasing Amy,’ he told Miramax — who’d already passed on ‘Good Will Hunting’ initially — that they should read the script. And that’s the reason we got it made.

He’s always been a big believer in me; I owe the guy a big part of my career if not the whole thing ...”

Mary McCormack (“In Plain Sight”) credits executive producer Steven Bochco (“NYPD Blue”) when she was cast in his “Murder One.” “I remember the first episode after the pilot was me, my trial, so there were these huge speeches, like closing arguments that were pages long, that they would rewrite the day before. I had no experience. I worked hard, and I think I pulled if off enough to keep my job. I remember going to Steven Bochco and telling him, ‘You have to bear with me. I’m completely over my head but I’ll work hard, and my learning curve will be sharp, but you have to look away for a while. It’s not going to be pretty.’ He said, ‘That’s all I ask.’ He was wonderful, really great, and wrote more and more for me. It was a great way for me to learn.”

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Scott Bakula (“Men of a Certain Age”) recalls a fellow actor who helped steer him through his initial days in New York. “I had this guy I’d worked with a lot in St. Louis, and he’d been to New York and knew some of the ins and outs of New York, and he said, ‘When you get to New York, you’ve got to get this paper, “Backstage.” It has all the auditions and everything that’s going on.’ I didn’t have an agent, wasn’t in a union, wasn’t in Equity, didn’t know ANYTHING ...

I got there on Wednesday, bought a ‘Backstage.’ Auditioned on Friday for a tiny dinner theater in North Carolina and was hired by that night.”

For Cybill Shepherd (“The L Word”) it was her father. “I was the athletic one of the three children. I got (my dad’s) broad shoulders, so he was cool with that. He went out there and threw the football with me in the front yard. I feel I owe my father a lot. I felt he carried me on top of those broad shoulders to show me how far I could see. And he loved the athlete in me. Come to find out, girls who are athletes early just blossom in every other way.”

Kyle Chandler (“Friday Night Lights”) says it was a friend from college. “I grew up in a tiny town, and when I was in college I didn’t know I was going to go into acting. I’d met some people at 3 o’clock in the morning at the University of Georgia, and one fella became a very good friend of mine. He’s passed away since, but as they were leaving that morning, the one guy pulled me over and said, ‘There’s an audition in the Cellar Theater at the University for “A Comedy of Errors.’” And to this day I have no idea why I went there and got the script. I think because the people we met there were absolutely lunatics, they were insane. And I liked that.

“I went and got the script and studied it, auditioned, and got the part and played the one brother.

When we did the dress rehearsal, and the teachers were sitting around, and when that applause happened, and I was center stage, I cried inside. It was like: THIS is it.”

Debra Messing (“Will and Grace”) owes her debt of gratitude to a casting director. “I kept auditioning and kept losing the

job to two different women. I would see them and say, ‘This time I’m going to be the one.’ And it didn’t happen, and I was really depressed about it ... Then this casting director called my agent.

I think I owe this woman my career because I was auditioning for her quite a bit. But she called my agent and said, ‘Debra is sabotaging herself because she is wearing so much makeup that it’s like kabuki. And she looks 10 years older than she really is. They’d see the tape and say, “She’s too old.” Or they call her out, and say, “She’s way too young for this. She needs to go and learn how to put makeup on.’” I was putting stage makeup on, that’s all I knew. So between that and being forced to color my head red — all of a sudden everything changed.”

Hugh Jackman (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) says his dad — who raised five children by himself — is responsible for his success. “I wanted to do (study) this course. I auditioned. I got in, but I didn’t realize it cost $3,500, and I didn’t have $3,500. Three days later, a check came from the estate of my grandmother, who’d just died, for $3,500. I thought, ‘This is freaky.’ I went to my dad, because I didn’t think my dad wanted me to be an actor, I thought he’d be a little bit worried.

I said, ‘Dad, I want to be honest with you, this money’s come through, and I don’t know how you feel, but I want to go to acting school, and it costs $3,500. And do you think Gran would be upset if I used it for that or would you be upset?’ He said, ‘I can’t think of a better way for you to spend Gran’s money.’ And he was very emotional. That was one of those first signs that I’d started on that path for acting.”

Jellyfish Continued from C1

Q: A:

Tell us some of what you’ve learned about how jellyfish move.

For a long time, people thought of jellyfish swimming as like jet propulsion — like a rocket that shoots out exhaust and goes the other way. But it’s a bit more subtle than that. They create vortex rings, like the smoke rings you might create with a cigar. And those doughnut-shaped swirls of water are an efficient way of propulsion because (the animals) can basically push off of those doughnuts of water.

What we wanted to understand was how do they form these swirling currents, and whether then we could build underwater vehicles that could also create these same type of water currents while they propelled themselves.

Q: A:

What is it about jellyfish that you were drawn to?

At the beginning, it was just their simplicity. They’re about the simplest things you can think of — it looks like they are just kind of floating around.

It turns out they do have these interesting fluid dynamics, but we only learned this after we started measuring their fluid flow, using different visualization techniques. The problem when you try to study water flow is that it’s pretty much transparent. You can, as a simple thing, just put dye — food coloring — in the water around the animals.

The animals will swim through, and then you’ll be able to see the water currents they create while they’re swimming.

Q: A:

To inform engineering, would your research only work with jellyfish?

These vortex rings show up in other animals. So you could have picked a trout, let’s say, or a shark.

They have more complicated wake flow patterns: The shape of their fins and the way they move is just more complicated. With a trout or a shark, as it’s flapping its tail, it’s creating these vortex rings, but they are sort of linked up into more complicated chains.

So if you were to do that dye experiment — if you could do it with a shark — it would be messier, and harder to interpret what you were seeing.

Q: A:

What’s the next phase of your research?

The bigger picture for our lab is a field of what we call bio-inspired engineering — we study different biological systems and try to understand what they do well and what they aren’t able to do well, then apply that knowledge to engineering systems.

Recently, we’ve been doing work in wind energy to find an alternative to the very large propeller-style windmills. These require lots of land, because you have to space them far apart so the wakes of the turbines don’t interact with one another. And these days there’s more and more opposition just because people don’t want to see them in their backyards. There are issues potentially with birds. And so on.

There is another technology out there for wind energy generation — instead of using these large wind turbine structures, they rotate around a vertical axis. They are smaller structures, so they are maybe 30 feet tall instead of 300 feet.

We’ve been interested in how many of these smaller structures could be situated very close together in order to generate as much power as you get from the very large ones. We were able to learn something about this from how fish school.

Fish like trout or tuna or mackerel will often swim in groups in pretty regular patterns. One of the leading hypotheses for why they do this is that the individual fish can interact with the vortices that are being shed by the tails of their neighbors and go from point A to point B using less energy as a group than if they were going individually through the water.

We tested a mathematical model to describe what arrangement of the fish in a school works for this energy savings — except instead of fish, we had these wind turbines.

We did a field demonstration this summer out in Lancaster (Calif.), and were able to show that using this bio-inspired design for this wind farm, we could actually perform much better than existing technologies that are out there.

The systems don’t need to be identical for you to learn from them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 15, 2010: This year, curb a tendency to get angry and act out. In the long run, this behavior could be selfdestructive. Note a fine-tuned sense of intuition. To succeed, you will need to use it. This same sixth sense comes through when determining where and when to take a risk. If you are single, you have many more admirers than you think. Many will come forward, especially in the spring. With all these possibilities, you might not want to settle down. If you are attached, the two of you often feel like newlyweds. Romance builds the more attention you give your relationship. PISCES intrigues you.

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) HHH Some Mondays you might not want to go into work or respond to demands. This Monday, whether you are steamed about an issue or just not in the mood for the same old stuff, you would love to stay home. Why not? In any case, you deal with people best on an individual level. Tonight: A discussion sheds light on a situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH An early-morning challenge could turn into the fuel that keeps you going all day long.

Never lose sight of your long-term, primary goals in situations and when making little decisions. A meeting could be provocative. Tonight: The only answer to an offer is “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could be irritated by an associate. Whether you are upset for a good part of the day is up to you.

Respond to an older or respected individual. You cannot escape a work-related issue. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out for others at a distance. Express an unusual depth and understanding that many crave. If you are making a decision, follow your emotional responses. Squeeze in a walk during a break to keep your energy up. Tonight: Be imaginative in your choices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Deal with others directly.

A child or loved one could be extremely difficult in the a.m. Let go of sharp words and angry feelings as soon as possible. Financial pressure could be substantial.

Tonight: A chat and dinner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seem to have a lot of answers and want to take the lead. A last-minute problem in the morning could upset you.

Speak your mind, but know that sugar works better than vinegar.

Choose your words with care.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH An easy give-and-take with associates could make all the difference in the end results. Still, if you get angry, you could be careless.

Be careful with machinery. Be aware that your physical and mental state are directly linked to your productivity. Tonight: Make it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your ingenuity comes to the forefront, no matter what you are doing. If you encounter a problem with funds or an emotional risk, step back. Do you really need to do this? Your creativity increases with a child or loved one. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Curb your anger and attempt to avoid a temper tantrum. You could be a little worn and frayed. If you can, stay close to home, and if you’re at work, minimize risk-taking.

Your instincts will guide you. Tonight: Nothing needs to be complicated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Though someone might make you angry, don’t cut off communication. Your ability to understand will be heightened as a result. Look to the long-term implications of an agreement or discussion. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH A friend might disappoint you or be angry. Your way of dealing with the issue could be to pretend the problem never happened or go off and indulge yourself. Expect only momentary relief. Tonight: Buy a favorite munchie on the way home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Though everyone accomplishes more when he or she has plans or a to-do list, you seem to naturally do the right thing at the right moment. Tune in to your feelings. Touch base with someone at a distance. Tonight: All smiles. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Restore Continued from C1 “It continues to increase, and the jobs are getting larger and more complex as funding becomes available,” Kelly said.

“And as these agencies see that it really works, they push to do more and more of it.”

Restoration work has picked up in the last five years or so, said Ryan Houston, executive director of the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. And as nonprofits like the watershed council and the Deschutes Land Trust start doing restoration or canal piping projects, they need businesses with specialized skills to help out.

“If we’re going to do 10 projects a year, we just need more help,” he said. “I think a lot of it is just the organic nature in which sectors develop. Those folks were always there, but they saw a business opportunity, we had a need, these pieces started fitting together.”

When the watershed council was planning its project to restore Tumalo Creek, for example, it needed a source of plants, Houston said. And it turned to Clearwater Native Plant Nursery, which was getting off the ground.

Mike Lattig, owner of the nur-

healthier and more resilient to high-intensity fires is the focus of Darin Stringer, a part owner and forest ecologist with Integrated Resource Management.

“We work with a broad range of clients — Forest Service, state and local governments, not-forprofit conservation organizations,” Stringer said.

He’s worked with the Land Trust to develop a plan for the organization’s Metolius Preserve, designing forest thinning projects that would reduce fire risk and promote old-growth characteristics near Camp Sherman.

And after that project, the Forest Service hired him to help design the Glaze Stewardship project as well as train Forest Service crews in how to carry out the prescriptions.

“In the last 10 years, I think there’s been a lot of movement toward forestry that’s not just timber-based,” Stringer said.

And after a jolt of stimulus funds, the money flowing to restoration projects should be pretty steady now, he said, and there are plenty of areas that could use some help.

“There’s a lot of money that needs to go back into the forest,” Stringer said.

Raymarine and Simrad — have combined historical roots going back about 150 years.

Maretron set out to build products to meet National Marine Electronics Association 2000 standards, which theoretically allows devices made by different manufacturers to share data and communicate with one another, similar to devices on a computer network.

Ellison, the industry expert, said Maretron embraced the standard, while other companies, at first, shied away or developed their own similar standards.

Many of Maretron’s products, such as its monitoring sensors and connecting devices, also get

mounted out of sight, which reduced the company’s visibility, too.

“Lots of boats have Maretron equipment on them, but you wouldn’t know it if you stepped on (board,)” he said.

The company ran into financial trouble, Ellison said, and in 2007, Carling Technologies of Plainville, Conn., bought a 50 percent stake in Maretron, according to a news release on Carling’s website.

Eventually, other companies in the industry took up the NMEA 2000 standards, with some even recommending Maretron sensors to their customers, Ellison said.

Maretron makes some software freely available for testing and gives a couple of utility programs away, which earned the company some buzz, Ellison said. He called one of the free utility programs “very slick.”

“They get a lot of points for that,” Ellison said. “It is a sales tool, but it’s very useful.”

Karen Allen refills her seed spreader to disperse grass seeds across a portion of the Camp Polk restoration project along Whychus Creek on Thursday. Allen’s company, Aequinox, is one of several in the Central Oregon area that focuses on different aspects of restoration ecology. sery, turned a botany degree and a gardening hobby into a business where he grows plants native to the area, both for large restoration projects and smaller landowners.

“There’s a demand for native plants, for sure,” Lattig said.

Business with the private landowners has dropped in the last couple of years as the economy tanked, he said, but recent years have also brought large restoration projects, which needed thou-

sands of plants. And although there aren’t large projects slated for next year, Lattig said there’s a long-term need to restore salmon and steelhead habitat, and Oregon’s green mindset makes native plants a good business.

“There’s plenty of places to fix,” he said.

The passage of Measure 76, which stated that Oregon would continue to dedicate a portion of lottery funds for parks and natural resources, means that

Maretron Continued from C1 Large boats may be equipped with six different tanks — for fuel, clean water and sanitation — and their electrical systems also need monitoring.

“By the time you get up to a 40-foot boat, it’s like its own little city,” Ingelse said. “It’s like having all your own utilities right there on the vessel.”

Based in Phoenix, Ariz., Maretron was founded in 2003 by two engineers who helped develop semiconductor and networking technology in the automotive industry, said Ingelse, who joined the company in 2005.

Ingelse, a mechanical engineer who previously worked in commercial construction, lives in Bend. When Maretron began production in mid-2006, he made the case for manufacturing in Redmond.

“I wasn’t moving to Phoenix,” he said. “I suggested they start it up here, and they all went along graciously.”

Manufacturing and shipping products from Redmond has not been difficult, Ingelse said. The company, previously located on Umatilla Avenue, moved assembly operations in the summer into a building on Southwest Deerhound Avenue, about doubling its floor space, according to a company news release.

Being located about two miles from Redmond Airport simplifies shipping, and material heading to the U.S. by ship arrives in Portland and travels by truck to Redmond.

Maretron emphasizes engineering at the design stage,

there will be a continuing funding source for good restoration projects, said Brad Chalfant, executive director of the Deschutes Land Trust.

“What the voters did, whether they realize it or not, is kept the partners working together, moving forward ... and in the process, help incubate a growing field of restoration foresters, biologists, botanists, engineers, etc., that are doing this kind of work,” Chalfant said.

While jobs for a business like a logging contractor might fluctuate with the lumber market and can reflect the economy, he said, restoration projects are planned far in advance, and provide a little bit of stability.

“We’ll never replace all of the jobs that were lost in the woods,” Chalfant said. “But it allows us to start doing some things to address the crisis that we’ve got in our forests and in our streams.”

Karen Allen does plant design for stream restoration with her business, Aequinox. She works with the engineers, fish biologists, hydrologists and more to figure out what native vegetation should be planted where, based on how much water a site will get and other considerations. A big part of her business, she said, is working on projects that are tied to the efforts to bring back salmon and steelhead runs to the basin. After decades of planning, and the construction of a more than $100 million fish passage facility, a number of groups and agencies are working to restore the habitat where the fish will grow up and then return to spawn.

“There’s a lot of interest in that, and money available,” she said, adding that it is, however, niche work.

which streamlines the assembly process.

Contractors make various product components, and employees in Redmond assemble them into finished products, load the software, calibrate some, test them all and ship them.

Plastic casings, or shells, are made in China and shipped to Redmond, Ingelse said. Two Central Oregon companies, one in Bend and the other in Redmond, make major electronic components for several products.

Having two local companies capable of building the parts helps maintain product quality, and improves scheduling and delivery.

“When I buy stuff in China, it takes a dozen e-mails to make it happen,” he said, and shipping it

to Redmond can take five weeks.

Ingelse was reluctant to discuss cost comparisons for manufacturing in China versus the U.S., but generally, it costs less in China, which has weaker employment and environmental laws.

“But I have to compete against people who are getting this stuff made in China,” he said. “It’s tough.”

Maretron started making mostly navigational equipment, such as GPS, and expanded into the monitoring side of the marine equipment market, with monitoring becoming the main focus.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Mountain View grad is lovin’ it at Linfield

Oregon State wins season opener

Former Cougar Hayden Mace is a football standout for the Wildcats

CORVALLIS — Omari Johnson scored 15 points and Ahmad Starks added 14 in his collegiate debut to help Oregon State to a 71-56 victory over Texas-Arlington on Inside Sunday.

• Oregon Lathen wins again, Wallace had 12 Page D4 points for the Beavers in their season opener.

After ending the first half on a 7-2 run to take a 37-35 lead, Oregon State scored the first six points of the second half. Arlington (1-1) got no closer than four the rest of the game, and the Beavers led by as many as 16.

Oregon State played a more up-tempo style against the Mavericks than it had in coach Craig Robinson’s first two seasons.

“We’ve got a bunch of young guys, so we have to use their young legs, keep us old guys on the bench,” said Johnson, a senior.

Arlington jumped out to a 16-4 lead, but Oregon State then scored nine straight, and it later tied it at 19-19 on a Starks’ three-pointer.

L

ike every college freshman, Hayden Mace had his doubts.

After an all-state prep football career at Bend’s Mountain View High, Mace in fall 2008 was a first-year player at Linfield College in McMinnville, a backup center who played only when the Wildcats were comfortably ahead.

By the end of the season, a 6-3 campaign that was disappointing

by Linfield’s lofty standards, Mace

BEAU EASTES made some calls and looked into transferring.

“I didn’t come in thinking I’d be an all-conference guy,” Mace re-

flects. “But I thought I could make an impact. … And then we missed the playoffs, which for Linfield is a pretty bad season. I had thoughts about hanging it up, calling it quits.”

Thankfully for the Wildcats, he didn’t.

Now a junior, Mace is the starting center for a Linfield squad that just finished the regular season 8-1 and clinched its second consecu-

tive Northwest Conference championship, the Wildcats’ 34th title in school history. With Mace anchoring the offensive line, Linfield has produced 467 yards of total offense per game to rank 15th out of the NCAA’s 236 Division III teams. Running a University of Oregon-style spread offense, the Wildcats rank ninth in Division III scoring with an average of nearly 43 points a game.

Mace remembers a turning point during his freshman year at Linfield.

FIGURE SK ATI NG Japanese skater is tops in Portland PORTLAND — Japan’s Kanako Murakami wasn’t immune to the falls that plagued the free skate Sunday but still emerged with the gold medal at Skate America.

It was the first senior Grand Prix title for the 16-year-old Murakami, who charmed Portland fans with her rockand-roll short program the day before. While she struggled with one jump and later fell, Murakami’s final score of 164.93 put her in front of American Rachael Flatt (162.86).

Italy’s Carolina Kostner, who led Murakami going into the free skate but also had a hard spill on a triple loop, finished third at 154.87.

Flatt, with a striking red costume, wowed with her flapper-esque routine, nailing all her jumps for a standing ovation from the Rose Garden crowd.

Earlier, Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White tangoed their way to the gold medal in the ice dance competition.

Brad Boyd, owner of Eurosports bike shop in Sisters, leads a group of bikers along a trail during an afternoon ride Thursday morning in Sisters. Boyd said the best way to stay comfortable in colder weather is to dress in layers and adjust accordingly to how cold or hot you are getting while riding.

Cold-weather riding is no problem for cyclists with the right equipment HEATHER CLARK

J

ohn Frey says his boss at Hutch’s Bicycles in Bend has a saying that goes, “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad equipment.”

Before I can challenge that assertion — surely freezing temperatures and falling snow can’t be seen as pleasant weather for riding — Frey, manager of the

Hutch’s west-side store, notes that he himself experienced some of the best mountain bike trail conditions he had ever encountered just last week here in Bend.

Frey recalls that before he set out in the snow, with the temperature just above freezing, he was prepared with the right equipment and the right gear for cold-weather riding. And that gear not only helped make for a memorable ride, it came in handy when a mechanical issue with his rear tire sidetracked him on the trail until well after dark.

She began riding a hybrid bike about seven years ago — while still living in Portland — in preparation for the couple’s 25th wedding anniversary trip to Ireland, where they were planning to tour part of the country by bicycle.

Though she loved the experience of sightseeing on a bike, it was not until she and her husband moved to Sisters five years ago that she bought her first road bike and took up cycling in earnest.

When and where she rides: Holzman rides three or four times each week and typically joins a group of other Sisters riders who meet at Eurosports, a bike shop in town. She also enjoys riding outside of Central Oregon. She and her husband have taken bike vacations to Southern California, New Mexico, and Walla Walla, Wash., and have ridden internationally in Crete, Portugal and France. In the last three years, she has tallied some 5,000 miles each year on her bike.

“I ride with a really supportive group,” says Holzman.

The Bowl Championship Series has made whether Hawaii is better than San Diego State a relevant question.

Here’s a better question: How is this good for college football?

Washington State players celebrate their 31-14 victory against Oregon State Saturday in Corvallis. OSU’s loss impacted TCU and Boise State in the national title hunt.

The big story Seriously, Washington State dealt a blow to the national championship hopes of Boise State and TCU. You see, Oregon

C O M M E N TA RY State played both the Broncos and Horned Frogs earlier in the season and the Beavers were supposed to represent a quality victory for the two.

Losing to the Cougars, who hadn’t beaten an FBS opponents this season, makes Oregon State look bad, which in turn makes Boise State and TCU look not as good — some would argue. Others would argue differently. Neither answer would be particularly compelling, the argument would go nowhere and ultimately a bunch of people and computers are left to give their best guesses as to whether the Broncos or Horned Frogs are better — and if either is better than Oregon or Auburn.

Golf • Bend pro finishes 40th: Brandon Kearney, a pro golfer from Bend, shot a 3-over-par 75 Sunday to finish in a tie for 40th place in the Callaway Golf PGA Assistant Championship in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Kearney, 30, was 5 over for the 72-hole tournament at PGA Golf Club’s Wanamaker Course. Kearney was one of 126 top assistant club pros from throughout the nation in the tournament.

Auto racing • Force wins 15th Funny Car title: John Force won his NHRA-record 15th Funny Car season championship Sunday, completing an improbable and emotional comeback from a horrific accident in Dallas three years ago that left the 61-year-old star’s racing future in serious jeopardy.

Force won the season-ending Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals for his sixth victory of the year, beating Bob Bode in the final. Also Sunday, Larry Dixon won his third Top Fuel championship. In Pro Stock, Greg Anderson wrapped up the title Saturday by qualifying.

Dallas Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh (43) breaks up a pass to New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss (89) during the second quarter of Sunday’s game in East Rutherford, N.J.

NFL ROUNDUP Garrard that Houston defensive back Glover Quin batted into his hands on the final play in regulation, giving Jacksonville the win. The game looked as if it was going to overtime, but Garrard heaved a pass toward the end zone with no time on the clock. Quin, who was burned all afternoon, tried to bat the ball to the ground. Instead, he knocked it right to the 5-foot-8 Thomas. It was Houston’s third straight loss, dropping them from the top of the AFC South to the bottom.

Bills . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Lions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Fred Jackson scored two touchdowns in leading Buffalo to its first victory of the season and sending Detroit to an NFLrecord setting 25th consecutive road loss. Jackson scored on a 1-yard plunge and a 16-yard catch in a sloppy game played in rain-soaked conditions between two perennial losers.

Buffalo (1-8) ended what had been its worst start to a season since going 0-11 in 1984.

Jets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 Browns . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 CLEVELAND — Santonio Holmes scored on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 16 seconds left in overtime, giving the Jets their eighth straight regular-season road win. It was the second consecutive overtime victory for the Jets (7-2), who won 2320 in Detroit a week ago. New York overcame three missed field goals by Nick Folk, including a 47-yarder in OT. Colts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Bengals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning didn’t throw a TD pass for the second game this season, but Kelvin Hayden returned an interception for a touchdown and Javarris James ran for a TD to lead Indianapolis. The banged-up Colts (6-3) didn’t need Manning’s arm to win this one. Instead, they scored 17 points off five turnovers and stopped the Bengals twice in the final 2:40.

Dolphins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 Titans . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 MIAMI — Miami achieved its season-high point total, and it only took three quarterbacks, a flea-flicker and the revival of the wildcat. Defense helped, too. Randy Moss managed only one catch in his first game with the Titans, and Miami takeaways led to two touchdowns.

After Miami quarterbacks Chad Pennington (shoulder) and Chad Henne (knee) departed with injuries, third-stringer Tyler Thigpen led an 85-yard drive in the fourth quarter to seal the bizarre victory.

Bears . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 Vikings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler threw for three touchdowns, Devin Hester had two big returns and Chicago moved into a tie with Green Bay for the NFC North lead. It was a rough day for Brett Favre and the Vikings (3-6), who needed to win and beat the Packers next week to jump back into the division

race. Favre had 170 yards passing after getting a career-best 446 last week against Arizona.

Favre threw three interceptions — all in the second half — and two late in the game that wiped out whatever chance the Vikings had at a comeback.

Chicago held Adrian Peterson to 51 yards rushing.

Buccaneers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Panthers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Freeman threw two touchdown passes and rookie LeGarrette Blount ran for a score to lead surprising Tampa Bay. Freeman threw TD passes of eight yards to Arrelious Benn and 20 yards to Kellen Winslow for the NFL’s youngest team. Blount scored on a 17-yard run that finished a long second-quarter drive as the Bucs (6-3) rebounded from a six-point loss to Atlanta that knocked them out of first place in the NFC South.

Broncos . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 Chiefs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 DENVER — Kyle Orton threw a career-high four touchdown passes, Tim Tebow had two TDs and Knowshon Moreno topped 100 yards for the first time as Denver scored its most points in 47 years.

Snapping a four-game losing streak, the Broncos (3-6) kept alive their chances of getting back into the playoff race in handing the Chiefs (5-4) their second straight loss. The Broncos stuffed the Chiefs’ vaunted ground game by taking a 35-0 lead behind a trio of TD passes from Orton, a 1-yard run by Tebow and a 75-yard fumble return for a TD by linebacker Jason Hunter. Tebow also threw his first NFL pass, a 3yard TD toss to fullback Spencer Larsen.

49ers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Rams . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 SAN FRANCISCO — Joe Nedney kicked a 29-yard field goal with 9:38 left in overtime, and Troy Smith passed for 356 yards in leading San Francisco. Smith earned his second straight victory as a starter for the 49ers (3-6), throwing a goahead 16-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with 2:10 left in regulation. After Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson led the Rams (4-5) back for Josh Brown’s 33-yard field goal on the final snap of regulation, St. Louis couldn’t get a first down after winning the overtime coin toss.

Patriots . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39 Steelers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 PITTSBURGH — Tom Brady maintained his mastery of the Steelers, throwing three touchdown passes to tight end Rob Gronkowski and scoring once himself, and the Patriots bounced back from an embarrassing 20-point loss by beating the Steelers. No NFL team wins more on its home field than Pittsburgh, but no opposing player wins there like Brady, who has won six of seven overall against the Steelers and four of five at Heinz Field. He was 30 of 43 for 350 yards with no sacks or interceptions, and now has 14 career TD throws and three interceptions against the Steelers.

Dallas overcomes turmoil to beat NFC East’s top team on the road EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A change in coaches is all the Dallas Cowboys needed to play like — well — the Cowboys of old.

Give interim coach Jason Garrett credit, for at least one game.

Jon Kitna passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns and the Cowboys looked revitalized with Garrett running the team in a 33-20 victory that served as a reality check for the New York Giants on Sunday.

“I thought the intensity was there in all three areas,” Garrett said after a wild game that featured two power outages in the new $1.6 billion stadium, one that left some 81,000 fans in total darkness for a couple of seconds. “Guys were fighting for each other. We were challenged in all areas and I think we stepped up.”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took notice and gave the game ball to Garrett and the Cowboys (2-7) snapped a five-game losing streak and ended a fivegame winning streak for the Giants (6-3).

“The timing is more important than what it means specifically to the future,” Jones said.

“It’s a good time to have a good feeling, we needed it. The players needed it and our fans needed it most of all. But it’s just that, a feel good. We have to get a lot of things worked out.”

Kitna, who was 13 of 22 with one interception, had everything working. He had TD passes of 13 yards to rookie Dez Bryant, 71 to halfback Felix Jones and 24 to Miles Austin in the Cowboys’ first action since Wade Phillips was fired on Monday.

“I think the difference, first and foremost, is the freakish disasters that have kind of defined our season didn’t happen tonight for us,” Kitna said after making his third straight since replacing the injured Tony Romo, “There was no tipped balls for interceptions and things like that.”

Rookie cornerback Bryan McCann scored on a team-record 101-yard interception return in a game highlighted by big plays and two third-quarter power failures that delayed the game for 11 minutes.

Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes and Lawrence Tynes kicked two field goals for the banged-up Giants, who played without receiver Steve Smith and offensive tackle David Diehl.

Dallas gained 427 yards against the NFL’s top-ranked defense and forced three turnovers in avoiding its first sixgame losing streak since a run at the end of 2000 and the start of 2001.

“They did a lot different,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

“Give them credit. They did a good job of isolating, getting the one-on-ones they look for.”

Jones said the performance would be only one game used to evaluate Garrett as coach.

The bottom line though was Dallas finally looked like a talented team that many expected to be playing at home in the Super Bowl in February.

“We needed this,” said Bryant, who had five catches for 104 yards. “I knew it was in all of us. I just felt like we had to come together and we did that tonight.”

Also on Sunday: Seahawks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36 Cardinals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Matt Hasselbeck returned from a one-game absence to throw for 333 yards, Mike Williams caught 11 passes for 145 yards and Olindo Mare kicked five goals to lead Seattle. Williams, out of the NFL the past two seasons after flopping in Detroit, had career highs for catches and yards as the (5-4) swept the Cardinals (3-6) for the first time since 2006. Arizona lost its fourth straight, its longest skid since dropping eight in a row in 2006, Dennis Green’s final season as coach.

EUGENE — Joevan Catron had 15 points and Oregon held UC Santa Barbara scoreless in the final 2:28 Sunday night as the Ducks held on for a 72-70 victory in the BTI Invitational.

Oregon went up 71-70 with 2:08 to play on a basket by Catron inside, and then made defensive stops on three straight possessions by the Gauchos.

Catron added a free throw with 1.1 seconds left and the Ducks knocked away a long inbounds pass intended for Orlando Johnson as time expired.

Malcolm Armstead also had 12 points and seven assists for Oregon, which improved to 3-0 under new coach Dana Altman. E.J. Singler added 11 points and Teondre Williams and Tyrone Nared scored 10 each.

James Nunnally led Santa Barbara (1-2) with 28 points and Johnson finished with 24.

Johnson, the Big West player of the year last season, gave the Gauchos a 70-69 lead with 2:28 remaining. But he missed a turnaround jumper with under a minute to play, had the ball knocked out of his hands and out of bounds with 2.8 seconds left, and lost the ball out of bounds again on the ensuing inbounds pass to turn the ball over to Oregon with 1.1 seconds remaining.

Edwards wins in Phoenix, Hamlin’s lead is wiped out

By Jenna Fryer

AP Auto Racing Writer

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Carl Edwards marked the end of a 70-race losing streak by climbing into the grandstands at Phoenix International Raceway for a raucous celebration with the fans.

Roughly 50 feet away, Denny Hamlin sat in silence on the pit road wall, wondering how his ironclad grip on the Sprint Cup had been pried apart by fuel strategy.

“It’s tough to not be happy having the point lead going into the last race. But we were sitting pretty,” Hamlin said.

He was in prime position to take a comfortable lead into next week’s season finale by dominating Sunday’s race at Phoenix. He led a race-high 190 laps and had four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson in trouble for much of the afternoon.

And when third-place driver Kevin Harvick was penalized for a loose lug nut on a late stop, nothing seemed to be in the way of Hamlin’s first career NASCAR title.

Then cautions didn’t fall as they should have, Edwards chased him down and Hamlin had to burn a ton of fuel trying to preserve the win. His Joe Gibbs Racing crew knew he was going to be at least a dozen laps short of making it to the finish on his last tank of gas, and crew chief Mike Ford called in the No. 11 Toyota for gas with 14 laps remaining.

Hamlin was in second place when he headed to pit road, with a nearly 60-point lead over Johnson. The pit stop dropped him to 19th, and he had to drive like a madman through the field trying to salvage the day.

His crew watched and waited for Johnson to make his fuel stop — Harvick’s penalty had given him the opportunity to make an extra stop for gas — but Johnson never ducked onto pit road. Crew chief Chad Knaus coaxed his driver around the track, urging him to conserve every final drop.

It played out perfectly for everyone but Hamlin, whose rally still left him 12th. Johnson wound up fifth, Harvick was sixth and Hamlin’s lead going into Homestead-Miami Speedway is a mere 15 points over Johnson.

Harvick is a manageable 46 points out.

“Everybody made it on fuel, is that what you are telling me?” Hamlin asked as he crossed the finish line.

“I know. That was ugly,” Ford replied.

“That’s something we’ve definitely got to work on.”

“What do we got to work on? I don’t understand,” the frustrated driver replied.

“Fuel mileage,” Ford responded. “That was awful.”

It couldn’t have gone any worse for Hamlin, who completely outperformed the competition but had little to show for it at the end.

“I hate that it boils down to the final race,” Hamlin said.

Not Johnson.

“We have one heck of a points race going to Miami and I’m pumped,” Johnson said.

“I am so happy to put pressure on the No. 11 team. We’re ready to race for this thing.

I hope the pressure of us being on his heels really works on his mind throughout the course of the week. One race, winner take all, and it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

NBA ROUNDUP

Suns beat Lakers 121-116 in a hail of three-pointers The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Jason Richardson scored 34 points and the Phoenix Suns hit the second-most three-pointers in NBA history to hold off the Los Angeles Lakers 121-116 on Sunday night.

The two-time defending league champions lost their second in a row and first at home this season.

Steve Nash added 21 points and 13 assists, Channing Frye had 20 points, and Hedo Turkoglu had 17 points for the Suns, who beat the Lakers at Staples Center for the first time since Jan. 17, 2008.

The Suns were 22 of 40 from threepoint range, just missing the league record of 23 set by Orlando against Sacramento in January 2009. Their threes were the most by a Lakers’ opponent in franchise history, bettering their own previous record of 19 in 2005.

The teams combined for 31 threes, second-most in league history.

Richardson made seven threes, Turkoglu had five and Frye four, helping the Suns shoot better from behind the arc (55 percent) than from the floor (51 percent).

South Korean closes with 64 to win LPGA Tour event in Mexico The Associated Press

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — South Korea’s In-Kyung Kim won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Sunday for her third LPGA Tour title, closing with an 8-under 64 for a three-stroke stroke victory over Suzann Pettersen.

Kim played the front nine in 6under 30 and added three birdies and a bogey on the final nine.

“I don’t know how to really take this all in,” Kim said. “But it’s been a great week. I mean, on the golf course, I played very good golf all week. The putts pretty much kept dropping today.

“Yesterday, it was missing this way and that way, and today, it started going in, the next started going in, and another one, and I’m like, wow.”

GOLF ROUNDUP She had a tournament-record 19-under total on the Guadalajara Country Club course and earned $220,000, which she said she’s donating to charity — half to the Lorena Ochoa Foundation and half to an American organization to be determined.

“Before I came to the U.S., I wanted to come to the U.S., but I know it’s tough and my parents are working really hard at the time when I was 16,” Kim said.

“And we weren’t really rich, but it takes a lot of money to send me to the U.S. and go to school and all that. But there is one person who helped my parents, and if he didn’t help my parents, or if he

didn’t help me coming to the U.S., I wouldn’t really be here. Everyone needs help. I think that’s why I’m all about that.”

Pettersen shot a 68. The Norwegian star has six second-place finishes and 11 top-five finishes in 18 starts this season. She’s winless since the 2009 Canadian Women’s Open.

“Another second-place finish. It sucks,” she said.

Pettersen had a double bogey on the fourth hole.

“Hit one bad shot and that cost me two shots,” she said. “And she made a birdie on the last. It kind of it felt like I gave her a gap. But other than that, I’m making some great putts coming down the stretch.

Karine Icher finished third at

15 under, holing out from the fairway on No. 18 for a 68.

Cristie Kerr (66) and U.S. Women’s Open champion Paula Creamer (68) tied for fourth at 14 under, and Ai Miyazato (70) finished at 13 under.

Ochoa, playing her first LPGA Tour event since retiring in April, shot a 74 on her home course, leaving her 19 strokes back in a tie for 25th.

Also on Sunday: Appleby wins in home country MELBOURNE, Australia — Stuart Appleby ended a nine-year drought at home by winning the Australian Masters, rallying from a seven-shot deficit with birdies on his last two holes for a 6-under 65. Adam Bland, who began the final round at Victoria Golf Club

with a three-shot lead, missed a 10-foot eagle putt on the last hole that would have forced a playoff.

He closed with a 73. Defending champion Tiger Woods completed an entire year without a victory, although he finished in style.

Woods made two eagles over the last four holes, played the last six holes in 6 under and matched his best score of the year with a 65.

Woods finished alone in fourth, matching his highest finish of a forgettable season.

Garrigus tops field at Disney LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Robert Garrigus shot an 8-under 64 to win the Children’s Miracle Network Classic, allowing him to keep his PGA Tour card and atoning for his collapse this year in Memphis. Garrigus finished three

shots clear of Roland Thatcher for his first tour victory. Garrigus began the week 122nd in earnings and needed a solid finish to stay inside the top 125 — the cutoff for full PGA Tour status. Thatcher shot a final-round 72 and jumped from 179th to 122nd to keep his playing privileges, blowing a fourstroke lead but keeping his job.

Troy Merritt won the season-long Kodak Challenge and $1 million prize, beating Rickie Fowler and Aaron Baddeley on the first hole of a playoff.

Scott leads Singapore Open SINGAPORE — Australia’s Adam Scott had a three-stroke lead with 10 holes left when play in the Singapore Open was suspended because of darkness, forcing a finish early today.

Oregon wide receiver D.J. Davis is tackled by California defensive tackle Cameron Jordan in the third quarter of Saturday’s football game in Berkeley, Calif. Oregon won 15-13 to stay undefeated.

Cal creates blueprint for slowing Oregon’s offense Arizona, Oregon State will have a chance to learn from the lessons of the Bears’ upset bid

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

BERKELEY, Calif. — Clancy Pendergast deserved to take a bow after his California defense did the previously unthinkable, holding No. 1 Oregon’s high-octane offense to 317 yards and one touchdown.

Instead, the Golden Bears’ defensive coordinator could only lament their wasted effort Saturday night in a 15-13 loss that kept the humbled Ducks on track for a national title shot.

“You don’t play for moral victories,” Pendergast said while the Ducks celebrated their narrow escape with a large contingent of Oregon fans in Berkeley’s Strawberry Canyon.

Yet the Bears’ breakthrough certainly was not a waste for the Ducks’ remaining three opponents this season: Arizona, Oregon State, and their bowl foe. Pendergast concocted a game plan that largely stopped the Oregon juggernaut, forcing the Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Pac-10) to rely on their defense to move within two games of a perfect regular season.

“They had our number this week,” Oregon center Jordan Holmes said. “They came to play. Their schemes worked. I’m not exactly sure what they were doing. They figured out something that was working for them, but we finally started adjusting.”

Holmes had no idea how the Bears did it, but a few strategies stood out.

The schemes Cal (5-5, 3-4) used myriad defensive fronts, alternating its number of down linemen on almost every play. The Bears made

their changes as quickly as the Ducks run their plays, usually using the same players.

In the secondary, the Bears had at least five defensive backs on the field for most plays, even after starting cornerbacks Marc Anthony and Darian Hagan were injured.

They used simple man-to-man coverage on almost every play, and safety Chris Conte spent most of the game right near the line of scrimmage, spying on Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas.

“You never could really tell when they were blitzing,” said Oregon tailback LaMichael James, who left Berkeley on crutches — he said he was fine — after managing a season-low 91 yards and failing to score in a game for the first time this season. “They move around a lot and have a lot of different fronts. I think that was the toughest part.”

Belief Pendergast’s greatest achievement might have been something a bit less tangible: He convinced his players that they could hang with an offense averaging 54.7 points and 567 yards while winning each of its first nine games by at least 11 points.

The Ducks are an intimidating flock, with their slick uniforms and crazed fan base, yet the Bears did not flinch.

“I had no doubt that we were going to win this game,” Conte said. “It was ripe for the upset. We knew that if we came out and executed, this team was very beatable.”

Fake injuries?

plained about the Bears’ series of clockstopping injuries on defense, almost all involving a backup player at a point when Cal really could have used a breather.

The injuries might have been legitimate, or they might have been minor gamesmanship. Either way, the Ducks could not snap the ball immediately after the referees put it on the turf.

“That slowed our tempo down, and the refs let them do it,” said Thomas, who went 15 of 29 passing for 155 yards and one touchdown.

Explanation Key The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches and Computer polls. Team percentages are derived by dividing a team’s actual voting points by a maximum 2850 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1475 possible points in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Six computer rankings are used to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the remaining four are added and divided to produce a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin, and Peter Wolfe.

What’s next With a bye week before two games against slumping teams to finish the season, the Ducks are close enough to fantasize about the BCS title game — not that Oregon coach Chip Kelly would ever allow such a thing, of course.

If Oregon beats Arizona on the day after Thanksgiving, the Ducks will clinch their second straight Pac-10 title even before the Civil War. Oregon had not really been challenged in a fourth quarter this season until Saturday night, when Cal nearly took a onepoint lead early in the period. Kicker Giorgio Tavecchio’s botched field goal attempts helped the Ducks, but their final drive was even more important.

Before the Ducks took over at their own 20-yard line with 9½ minutes left, Kelly told the offense that this drive would be something they described to their grandchildren. Eighteen plays — 17 on the ground — and 65 yards later, when Thomas took a knee to run out the clock, Kelly was proven correct.

“That last drive is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever been a part of,” Holmes said. “At that point, they’re putting the game on us, and on LaMichael’s shoulders.

We love that.”

BCS Standings

Continued from D1 “I went home for Christmas break and had some quality time with the family,” he recalls. “I realized this (playing football at Linfield) is what I wanted to do.”

Year after year, Central Oregon produces high school football teams that march deep into the state playoffs. And year after year, multiple players from the area go on to play college football at some level. But only a handful of those athletes have persevered and transformed from prep football standout to veteran upperclassman in a college program. Guys like Mace, Portland State junior running back Cory McCaffrey (from Sisters) and Pacific Lutheran junior linebacker Mike Warsaw (from Mountain View) are the exceptions to the rule, not the norm.

“In high school, I’d watch (older) guys I had played with go somewhere and then just drop off,” says Mace, who helped lead Mountain View to the Class 5A state semifinals in 2007. “I didn’t want to throw away a great opportunity. I didn’t want to look back and regret not playing.”

Like most players on Linfield’s roster, Mace did not exactly grow up dreaming of the Division III playoffs. A Washington State fan, Mace envisioned himself playing in the Pacific-10 at WSU’s Martin Stadium.

“When I was younger I always had the dream of playing bigtime ball,” Mace recounts. “I was a huge WSU fan, and I thought I might have a chance to play there with the past couple of years they’ve had.”

As Mace got older, though, his future football options became a little more clear. At 6 feet 2 and 250 pounds — not especially big as Pac-10 linemen go — he was more likely to land in McMinnville, Salem or La Grande than in Eugene, Corvallis, or even Pullman, Wash.

“As my senior year progressed, schools started falling off and I

had a little more realistic feel of where I’d end up,” Mace says.

“My junior and senior season (at Mountain View) we came up to Linfield’s summer camp.

I really loved the coaches, the current players that were working the camp, and the feel of the program.”

While Linfield may not have plasma-screen televisions adorning its locker room and does not play in a 50,000-seat stadium, the Wildcats do boast one of the premier small-college football programs in the nation.

Maxwell Field, nicknamed the Cat Dome, has a seating capacity of about 4,000. It features synthetic turf, covered bleachers and a full video-display scoreboard, making it one of the finest Division III stadiums on the West Coast.

Linfield’s product on the field matches its state-of-the-art playing facility, as the Wildcats are perennial playoff contenders.

In addition to its 55 consecutive seasons with a winning record — an all-time college football record — Linfield has advanced to the postseason six times in the last 11 years, winning the NCAA Division III national championship in 2004. Last season the Wildcats, who finished the year 11-1, advanced to the D-III semifinals before falling to eventual champion University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 27-17.

“We’ve got it great here at Linfield,” says Mace, whose team plays host to California Lutheran this Saturday in the first round of the Division III playoffs. “You go to Autzen Stadium (at the University of Oregon in Eugene) and everyone dies for the green and yellow. It’s the same way here.

We’ve got a great tradition playing for fans and alumni.

“It might be great to play in front of 110,000 people at (Michigan’s) Big House,” Mace adds, “but there’s nothing like being at the Cat Dome.”

Continued from D1 Here’s another question that was actually posted by a Boise State fan supporter on Twitter on Saturday: “SDSU is (equal) or less than Hawaii.”

In a college football world with no playoff system, where two teams are picked from 120 to play for the national championship, determining whether the third-best Mountain West Conference teams is better than the third-best Western Athletic Conference team is vital.

There is no better proof that the BCS is not just a flawed system but a bad one.

That thrilling race in the Big Ten, which was trimmed from four top-15 teams vying for a conference title to three when Northwestern knocked off Iowa? Unless you’re a fan of Wisconsin, Ohio State or Michigan State, why should you care?

South Carolina is going to the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time, which is great for its fans. But in the big picture, what Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks earned was a chance to play spoiler against Auburn in the national championship race.

Oklahoma State was picked last in the Big 12 South. The Cowboys are now two victories away from winning the division and playing for their first Big 12 title. It’s big news in Stillwater because the Cowboys could also earn their first BCS bid,

a trip to the Fiesta Bowl to play — the Big East champion. Woo-hoo.

There are three weeks left in the season and only the games involving Oregon, Auburn, TCU and Boise State can radically change the national championship chase.

All the other good teams are playing for trophies and warm-weather bowl trips.

In the new book “Death to the BCS,” Yahoo! Sports reporters Dan Wetzel, Jeff Passan and Josh Peter argue — correctly — that a playoff would not hurt the college football regular season, as BCS supporters suggest, but help it by adding more meaning to late-season games.

Here’s another reason: The debate that has dominated this college football season, whether two very good teams — TCU and Boise State — from so-so conferences without automatic bids to the BCS are worthy of playing in the national championship game, is overshadowing some great stuff on the field.

Yes, Boise State and TCU look as if they can compete against any team in the country. Yes, their schedules are not nearly as tough as those of the teams that play in the SEC, Big Ten or Pac-10, so their unbeaten records should not be valued as highly.

We can go back and forth forever.

“Death to the BCS” suggests a 16-team playoff. Eight sounds good, but gets complicated. SEC commissioner Mike Slive

himself wanted the BCS to go to a fourteam playoff called the plus-one.

Any of those models would be an improvement over spending the final three weeks of the season trying to decide how impressive it is to beat Oregon State.

Quick hits • The ACC Atlantic race is all about Maryland. The surprising Terrapins (7-3, 4-2) have two games left against the other two teams in the race. If they can beat Florida State on Saturday and North Carolina State the week after, the Terps go the Atlantic Coast Conference title game for first time. Regardless, it’s a nice bounce back season by Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen.

• For the first time, all the service academies will play in a bowl game.

Army (6-4) became bowl eligible with a 45-28 victory at Kent State on Saturday. Navy (7-3) and Air Force (7-4) have already clinched winning seasons. If Army can beat Notre Dame or Navy, all three schools would finish over .500 for the third time since 1960.

• Wisconsin’s 83 points against Indiana were the most by a ranked team since No. 16 Houston beat SMU 95-21 on Oct. 21, 1989. Was Badgers coach Bret Bielema running it up? Is there such a thing as running it up between two teams from the same conference? A vote for no here.

PEDROS/LAZER HELMET ATHLETE NIGHT: A meet-and-

Winter Continued from D1 “If I didn’t have a light with enough battery reserve and the clothing that I had, I would have been in big trouble,” Frey observes. “It was snowing like crazy, it was 33 degrees, and I was in the middle of nowhere. I had a warmer pair of gloves that I put on after I changed my tube, and I had a super-thin, clear rain shell — the one you stuffed in your pack three years ago and think you’re never going to use.

“If I hadn’t have had that stuff, it would have been really miserable.”

Frey’s point is that great riding can be had in Central Oregon this time of year for cyclists who set out prepared with the right clothing and equipment.

Brad Boyd, owner of Eurosports, a bike shop in Sisters, led a group of riders on the Peterson Ridge Trail last week on the day of the area’s first significant snowfall. The riding conditions, he recalls, were among the best of the season, but the ride was enjoyable only because he stayed comfortable and dry by gearing up smart.

Dressing property for coldweather riding is not as easy as it sounds, says Frey, who notes that beginner riders commonly either overdress or underdress in bad weather.

“It’s a skill,” he adds, “to learn how to dress properly.”

Dressing for the chill The key to staying warm on a chilly ride? Avoid getting wet.

That means taking steps to avoid soaking gear in perspiration, and having replacements readily available to swap out wet clothing for dry.

“If you’re standing outside the store or at the trailhead waiting for your friends and you’re warm, then you are overdressed,” says Boyd. “As soon as you start pedaling your bike you’re going to be sweating bullets. You need to be a little chilled before you start riding.”

By contrast, Boyd adds, “If you have all your clothes on and you’re climbing and you’re cold, you didn’t bring enough.”

Dressing for comfortable — and enjoyable — cold-weather riding is all about moisture management, says Boyd. He recommends that riders start with a good-quality thermal base layer, then add a long-sleeved cycling jersey. When climbing or exerting on the bike, Boyd wears a windproof vest to keep his core

warm. He stashes a long-sleeved windproof jacket in his hydration pack or jersey pocket for descents, or for when he is otherwise not working up a sweat on the bike.

“If you’re going to have fun in the cold weather,” Boyd notes, “you may have to stop every 20 minutes and adjust your layers.

Then you can stay out for two or three hours and be happy. If you don’t make the quick change, you’ll get chilled really quick.

You won’t last an hour and it’ll be no fun.”

According to Frey, arm warmers and leg warmers — easily removable pieces of clothing ideal for quickly changing weather conditions — should be a staple in every Central Oregon rider’s closet.

Feet, head and hands Along with layering, keeping hands, feet and head dry and warm are important considerations for cyclists venturing out for a wintry ride.

“I wear wool socks 100 percent of the time,” says Frey. “They help keep your feet warm and dry in the wintertime. Unlike other materials, wool retains its thermal properties when wet … you stand the best chance of keeping your feet dry.”

Neoprene or wool booties that cover cycling shoes are a good investment to ward off chill, and they work well for the majority of riders. For those with chronically cold feet, Boyd suggests a waterproof, high-top winter cycling shoe.

“If your feet are warm and your hands are warm and your head is warm, you can have a lot of fun,” says Boyd. “Once your feet and hands go numb, you’re miserable.”

Boyd shares this tip for preventing frozen fingers in cool conditions: Bring two pair of gloves and swap the wet pair for the dry gloves to keep hands toasty.

Lastly, a slim-fitting cap or ear warmers that can be worn under a rider’s helmet is an important piece of gear on really cold days.

These items are also easy to remove and store in a pocket if the temperature rises.

A skull cap is “going to be very thin but warm,” Boyd explains.

“You can’t just put on your knit cap that you might wear skiing, because your helmet then doesn’t fit right.”

Winterizing the bike Riding a bike to and from work, or to and from the grocery

store, need not be just a seasonal routine, says Eric Power, owner of Bend Velo, a bike shop that specializes in bikes and gear for practical, transportation-focused cycling.

Riding a bike comfortably in wintry conditions takes a bit more planning, but a few relatively inexpensive equipment modifications can make for a comfortable ride.

Power encourages commuters — or anyone riding their bike for practical reasons — to swap clipless pedals, which require special cycling shoes, for the flat variety.

“When you run flats, you can wear shoes that are appropriate for the weather,” Power explains.

“You can ride a bike in flip-flops or in (winter boots). When you have big, flat pedals, you can ride in anything.”

Front and rear fenders, which can be clipped onto a bike, prevent water, mud and grime on the road from soaking a rider’s shoes and backside.

“A fender stops you from getting a stripe up your back,” Power observes. “You can ride through puddles and not even know it. It’s amazing how much more inclement weather you can ride in with fenders.”

Avid cool-weather cyclists — whether on the road for transportation or for fitness — might consider going with punctureresistant tires. This time of year, bike lanes are often cluttered with cinders and debris, and being sidelined with an unexpected flat tire in freezing, finger-numbing temperatures is annoying at best.

For transportation cyclists, Power recommends a wider, aggressive-tread tire that features a Kevlar belt and a reflective strip.

“The Kevlar belt in there is almost flat-proof,” he says. “You’d have to get a screw into your sidewall to get a flat.”

For road cyclists, Frey and Boyd suggest swapping out lighter, race-style tires for a tougher, more durable pair. These tires tend to be heavier, but they will stand up to cinders and debris better than lighter tires.

Riding in Central Oregon is a nearly a year-round affair for the hardiest cyclists among us. That said, taking a spin during Central Oregon’s shoulder season is not just for the hard-core rider — if you know how to dress.

“Right now, there’s not enough snow to ski,” says Boyd, “but the mountain biking is still really fun.”

Cyclocross • Central Oregon racers notch top finishes: Bend cyclocross riders Ryan Trebon and Adam Craig both recorded top-10 finishes at U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross event in Fort Collins, Colo., on Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday, Trebon placed third and Craig took eighth in the 27.2-kilometer elite men’s race.

Trebon, who races for Kona, was timed in 1 hour, 53 seconds, just 47 seconds behind winner Geoff Kabush. Craig was timed in 1:02:49.

In Sunday’s elite men’s race, Craig placed fifth, covering the 30.6-kilometer distance in 1:04:01. Timothy Johnson of Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld. com won the race in 1:02:41.

After leading early in the ninelap race and pushing the pace, Trebon experienced a bit of misfortune when he fell about a third of the way into the race. He eventually drifted back to 11th place in 1:06:44.

Rider Continued from D1 “If Brad (Boyd, owner of Eurosports) hadn’t encouraged me to ride with the group, I don’t know that I would ride at the level I ride now.”

Why she rides: “It’s our favorite way of traveling now, and it’s now the only type of vacation we book. That’s how we vacation together. (Alan) raced a little bit, and was much more into it, and I wasn’t. It’s hard with family and kids (the Holzmans have two grown children). Moving over here (to Central Oregon), and not going back to work again, certainly gave me a lot of time to be able to do it, and then finding this group of people that I love riding with.”

“Right now, I honestly can’t imagine if I woke up tomor-

row and didn’t ride my bike,” she continues. “It’s become so much a part of what I do. People have asked me, ‘Do you want to race?’ No, I’m not interested in that. I want it to be fun, not competitive.”

Her favorite ride in Central Oregon: McKenzie Pass. “It’s right out our back door,” she says. “I love dropping down to Scott Lake on the backside.

That’s probably my favorite summer ride. In the spring when it’s chilly, we go east more to the Tumalo/Terrebonne area. I also love going down to Camp Sherman. That’s fabulous.”

Favorite cycling memory: Riding the famous Tour de France mountain passes in the French Alps this past summer, including Mont Ventoux, Alpe d’Huez and the Col d’Izoard.

Cycling for fitness: Since she took up cycling five years ago,

Holzman says she has lost 20 pounds and eats more healthfully. “I have a lot of energy and I feel great,” she says. “It really has been an amazing turnaround for me because I was always a chubby kid. I was never overweight, but I always carried more weight than was healthy. Now, I’m the thinnest as an adult that I’ve ever been.”

What’s next: “I would really like to cycle Tuscany (in Italy),” she says. “That would be a region that we’d like to do next.

The problem is, there’s so little time and so many places we’d like to ride our bikes.”
