Nonprofit vacates downtown spot, cites shady doings

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Classical music didn’t work.

Neither did the sign telling people they’re under surveillance. Now Arts Central, fed up with the unsavory activity occurring regularly outside its windows, is leaving

downtown Bend.

Last week, the nonprofit art education center terminated its $1-peryear lease with the city for the historic Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher House on Brooks Street. It will continue to operate out of its Arts Station site in the Old Mill District.

Arts Central has been in its Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher home since 1994, but Executive Director Cate O’Hagan said she couldn’t justify staying there any longer. She said the amount of loitering and criminal activity became too much.

“There are some incidents that

convinced our instructors, our parents of smaller children and our older clientele to say that they were just unwilling to navigate the plaza and surrounding area,” O’Hagan said.

“It really has become a situation where it’s like running a gantlet.”

Redmond teens die in crash on U.S. 97

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

REDMOND — Two Redmond teenagers died Monday morning in a three-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 97 in Redmond.

Tara Goad, a 16-year-old junior at Redmond Proficiency Academy, and Tirisa Tucker, a 15year-old freshman at Redmond High School, were killed in the 7 a.m. crash.

According to police, Goad was driving a red 1991 Toyota Tercel north when she lost control, crossed the highway 97 Location of median and hit fatal crash a red 1998 Ford Maple Ave. Explorer traveling in the southHemlock Ave. bound lane drivAntler Ave. en by Timothy Highland Ave. 126 Messner, 17, of 126 Obsidian Ave. Terrebonne.

97 Redmond school officials said Messner Andy Zeigert / The Bulletin and two 16-yearold male passengers are district students. Officials said the three suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

A white 2007 Honda Civic driven by Nita Hoskins, 59, of Terrebonne, was hit by the other vehicles after the initial crash. Hoskins was not injured.

The cause of the accident is under investigation, but Redmond Police Lt. Nathan Garibay said both girls were wearing their seat belts.

“We are now looking at factors of speed, road conditions and all the typical causes in a crash,” Garibay said.

A freezing fog warning was in effect for the north end of Deschutes County on Monday morning, but it isn’t clear if that contributed to the accident.

Deschutes County released the names of two finalists for the job of county administrator on Monday.

Walter Munchheimer worked as director of the Financial Management Division of Palm Beach County, Fla. He also worked as a deputy county manager in Georgia and as an assistant county administrator in Florida. Michael Segrest worked as town manager for Moraga, Calif., and Snowmass Village, Colo.

Neither man currently works in government. Munchheimer left his job with Palm Beach County in November 2008. Segrest resigned as Moraga’s town manager in November 2010, and has since worked part-time for a Rocklin, Calif.based executive search and management consulting firm.

Last week, panels of county commissioners, county staff, business people and citizens interviewed seven finalists for the county administrator job, which has been open since August, when County Commissioners Tammy Baney and Tony DeBone voted to fire former administrator Dave Kanner.

In written evaluations, Baney, DeBone and Commissioner Alan Unger, who wanted to keep Kanner, all gave him high praise for fiscal management, honesty and integrity.

WASHINGTON — Alexis McKenzie’s mother had mild dementia, but things sounded OK when she phoned home: Dad was with her, finishing his wife’s sentences as they talked about puttering through the day and a drive to the store.

Then their phone service was cut off. “I mailed that check,” McKenzie’s father insisted. No, he’d mailed the phone company a bank deposit slip instead. McKenzie visited and discovered spoiling food. Dad the caregiver was in trouble, too.

Dementia can sneak up on families. Its sufferers are pretty adept at covering lapses early on, and spouses are sometimes there to compensate. Doctors too frequently are fooled as well.

Now specialists are pushing for the first National Alzheimer’s Plan to help overcome this barrier to early detection, urging what’s called dementia-capable primary care, more screenings for warning signs and regular checks of caregivers’ own physical and mental health.

WASHINGTON — The Constitution has seen better days.

Sure, it is the nation’s founding document and sacred text. And it is the oldest written constitution still in force. But its influence is waning.

In 1987, on the Constitution’s bicentennial, Time magazine calculated that “of the 170 countries that exist today, more than 160 have written charters modeled directly or indirectly on the U.S. version.”

A quarter-century later, the picture looks very different.

“The U.S. Constitution appears to be losing its appeal as a model for constitutional drafters elsewhere,” according to a new study

by David Law of Washington University in St. Louis and Mila Versteeg of the University of Virginia.

Aging Cold War spy plane may fly beyond retirement

It’s Tuesday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2012. There are 328 days left in the year.

• Drone that’s slated to replace the U-2 is likely too costly after defense cuts

By W.J. Hennigan

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Wars have come and gone. But for more than half a century, the CIA and U.S. military have relied on a skinny sinister-looking black jet to go deep behind enemy lines for vital intelligence-gathering missions.

The high-flying U-2 spy plane was first designed during the Eisenhower administration to breach the iron curtain and, as engineers said, snap “picture postcards for Ike” of hidden military strongholds in the Soviet Union.

And although the plane is perhaps best known for being shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960 and the subsequent capture of pilot Francis Gary Powers, the U-2 continues to play a critical role in national security today, hunting al-Qaida forces in the Middle East. The aging cold warrior once slated for retirement in 2015 may fight on into the next decade.

The fleet of 33 spycraft was supposed to be replaced in the next few years with RQ-4 Global Hawks, the high-tech drones that entered service in 2001. But the Pentagon recently proposed delaying that plan as part of Defense Department cutbacks and instead relying for now on the 57-year-old U-2 program.

At an estimated cost of $176 million each, the Global Hawk drone had “priced itself out of the niche, in terms of taking pictures in the air,” said Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter at a news conference. “That’s a disappointment for us, but that’s the fate of things that become too expensive in a resource-constrained environment.”

The Pentagon has determined that operating the U2 would be cheaper for the foreseeable future; it won’t disclose how much operating the U-2s will cost for security

Still flying and spying Budget restraints have dictated cuts to the high-tech Global Hawk drone program, but the manned Eisenhower-era U-2 spy plane may continue to fly for more than another decade.

reasons. The government has relied on the U-2 since 1955, when the aircraft was first built and designed under tight security by Lockheed Corp. at its famed Skunk Works facilities in Burbank, Calif., headed by legendary chief engineer Clarence “Kelly” Johnson.

“It’s incredible to think that these planes are flying,” said Francis Gary Powers Jr., Powers’ son and founder of the Cold War Museum in Warrenton, Va. “You’d think another spy plane or satellite or drone would come along by now to replace it.”

Modernizing the planes Lockheed, now Lockheed Martin Corp. of Bethesda, Md., boasts on its website that the U-2, which naysayers said “could not be built and would last a few years,” continues to play a critical role in national security.

Flying a nearly six-decadeold plane may sound risky, but the military’s U-2s are regularly “rebuilt, redone and retrofitted,” said Dianne Knippel, a Lockheed spokeswoman.

Each of the nation’s 33 U-2s get refurbished at Lockheed’s new Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, Calif.

Since 1994, the Air Force

said, at least $1.7 billion has been invested to modernize the U-2 airframe. These upgrades also include new engines, new cockpits and, of course, new cameras and sensors.

Today, the U-2 is flying more missions and is involved in more operations than ever, said Staff Sgt. Heidi Davis, an Air Force spokeswoman. Since 2003, the Air Force has flown more than 95,000 hours in the U-2 providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

“The U-2 supports the boots on the ground using its various sensors and cameras to relay information to the requesting war fighting units,” Davis said. “Specific missions conducted by the U-2 will not be discussed due to operational security.”

Flying high Most of the U-2’s capabilities are classified, but analysts say its newest sensors enable the U-2 to listen in on cellphone and radio conversations and pinpoint the location of the caller on the ground. Some can even “smell” the air and sniff out chemical plumes emanating from a potential underground nuclear laboratory.

spying on other countries, but not because it’s stealthy — countries often know that it’s flying overhead at more than 70,000 feet. At that height, few countries have the capability to blast it out of the sky.

But it can happen. The Powers incident proved that.

That’s part of the reason the Pentagon thought the remotely piloted Global Hawk would be a good replacement. Global Hawks, made in Palmdale by Northrop Grumman Corp., have been part of the U.S. arsenal since their first flight in 1998, carrying out humanitarian, scientific and combat missions. There are various versions of the drone, including one for the Navy. The Air Force has 20 active Global Hawks and had planned to buy dozens more to replace the U-2s. But that plan is on hold, pending approval from Congress.

Northrop lashed out at the Pentagon plan, saying the U2 needs to be replaced. In a statement, the company said the U-2 “places pilots in danger, has limited flight duration and provides limited sensor capacity.”

Thirty-three pilots have died in U-2 operations, including pilots from Lockheed, the CIA and the Air Force.

RELIGION IN THE NEWS

A snapshot of American Mormonism

By Michelle Boorstein The Washington Post

The first major independent poll of U.S. Mormons describes a conservative, devout community highly concerned about being accepted even as it embraces beliefs about gender roles, premarital sex and religious commitment that are well outside the mainstream.

The Pew Forum poll offers an unusually detailed look at an American-born religion at a time when voters are craving information about GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, a Mormon who was once a bishop in his church.

Experts on American Mormonism said the poll is the most detailed outside survey of the community, which makes up slightly less than 2 percent of the U.S. population.

It paints a picture of a group that is far more socially and politically conservative than the general population. Despite concerns about prejudice, Mormons also register unusually high rates of satisfaction with their own lives and communities. Some of the findings: • Seventy-four percent of Mormons say they lean Republican, compared with 45 percent of Americans overall.

• Seventy-nine percent said sex between unmarried adults is wrong, compared with 35 percent of the general population.

HAPPENINGS

George Frey / Bloomberg News

The Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A Pew poll found that the level of religious commitment among Mormons was more than twice as high as for the general U.S. population.

• Fifty-eight percent of Mormons say the best kind of marriage is one with a husband as provider and a wife to care for the house and children; in the general population, 62 percent say it’s preferable for both partners to have jobs and take care of the home.

Some experts said the poll heralds a period in which Mormonism is being forced, by an interested public and by the explosion in recent years of independent Mormon bloggers, to open up, accept criticism from inside and outside the church, and shift from being a close-knit family to a creed that connects people by belief.

“This is a step toward a greater intellectual maturity in the church. Frankly, it’s about moving into the mainstream,” said David Campbell, a prominent political scientist from the University of Notre Dame, who focuses on religion and is a Mormon.

Some experts said the poll portrays Mormons as more uniform, observant and conservative than they are. The poll found that Mormons are more than twice as religiously committed as the general population and significantly more committed than such observant groups as black Protestants and white evangelicals.

“This sample looks like very busy, hyperactive Mormons,” said Marie Cornwall, a Mormon sociologist at Brigham Young University. “Who are these people? Many of us are really surprised at how religious this group is.”

The poll reaffirms some familiar trends from previous research, such as that Mormons are likely to spend time primarily with their own. But the survey also fills in pieces of the puzzle.

More-educated Mormons are far more religiously committed than less-educated ones, a gap not often seen in other faith groups.

Ninety-seven percent say their faith is part of Christianity, according to the poll, and the fact that many Americans — one-third, polls show — don’t see them as Christians is one of their primary concerns.

Highlights: In 1812, author Charles Dickens, widely regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England. In 1857, a French court acquitted author Gustave Flaubert of obscenity for his serialized novel “Madame Bovary.”

In 1943, the government announced the start of shoe rationing, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person for the remainder of the year. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba.

Ten years ago: Former Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling insisted to skeptical members of Congress that he knew of nothing improper about the complex web of partnerships that had brought down the company. Authorities in Oklahoma captured the last two of four escaped prison inmates from Texas who’d been on the run for more than a week.

Five years ago: A Marine CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter was shot down by insurgents northwest of Baghdad, killing all seven people on board.

One year ago: Speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Barack Obama echoed John F. Kennedy as he prodded business leaders to “ask yourselves what you can do for America,” not just for company bottom lines.

T!" S#!$%&' Obama Heading midwest, Romney takes aim at Santorum to return donations tied to fugitive

By Michael D. Shear

New York Times News Service

By Mike McIntire

New York Times News Service

Two American brothers of a Mexican casino magnate who fled drug and fraud charges in the United States and has been seeking a pardon enabling him to return have emerged as major fundraisers and donors for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

The casino owner, Juan Jose Rojas Cardona, known as Pepe, jumped bail in Iowa in 1994 and disappeared, and has since been linked to violence and corruption in Mexico. A State Department cable in 2009 said he was suspected of orchestrating the assassination of a business rival and making illegal campaign donations to Mexican officials.

When The New York Times asked the Obama campaign early Monday about the Cardonas, officials said they were unaware of the brother in Mexico. Later in the day, the campaign said it was refunding the money raised by the family, which totaled more than $200,000.

As recently as January of last year, one of Cardona’s brothers in Chicago, Carlos Rojas Cardona, arranged for the former chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party to seek a pardon from the governor for Pepe Cardona, according to prosecutors in that state. None was forthcoming.

Last fall, Carlos Cardona and another brother in Chicago, Alberto Rojas Cardona, began raising money for the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The Cardona brothers, who have no history of political giving, appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the world of Democratic fundraising, Democratic activists said.

Obama campaign officials said most of the money raised by the Cardona brothers came from themselves and other relatives, donations of about $200,000. In addition, the campaign was identifying other donations, believed to total less than $100,000, that was bundled from other people.

“On the basis of the questions that have been raised, we will return the contributions from these individuals and from any other donors they brought to the campaign,” said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign.

Even as Mitt Romney tries to fend off the continuing challenge from Newt Gingrich and focus his attention on President Barack Obama, he is now being forced to deal with another rival.

Rick Santorum appears poised to do well in Minnesota’s caucuses today. If he wins there, it would interrupt Romney’s efforts to present an unchallenged march to the Re-

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is signaling to wealthy Democratic donors that he wants them to start contributing to an outside group supporting his re-election, reversing a long-held position as he confronts a deep financial disadvantage on a vital front in the campaign.

Aides said the president had signed off on a plan to dispatch Cabinet officials, senior advisers at the White House and top campaign staff members to deliver speeches on behalf of Obama at fundraising events for Priorities USA Action, the leading Democratic super PAC,whose fundraising has been dwarfed by Republican groups.

— New York Times News Service

Monday morning.

“Even in the face of crushing federal debt, Rick Santorum voted for the infamous ‘Bridge to Nowhere,’” Pawlenty said.

“That type of leadership will not help us rein in government and slash the unprecedented federal debt.”

That was followed by two emails from Romney’s campaign: one titled “Rick Santorum: Proud Defender of Earmarks and Pork-Barrel Spending,” and the other titled

“A Summary of Santorum’s False Attacks on Massachusetts Health Care.”

Santorum’s campaign responded by accusing Romney’s “well-financed seek-anddestroy attack machine” of becoming nervous about the threat he represents.

“Gov. Romney does what he always does and directs his well-funded attack machine to destroy the opponent,” said Hogan Gidley, a spokesman for Santorum.

Santorum’s razor-thin victory in Iowa’s caucuses in early January was the first and last time his campaign has posed a serious challenge to Romney.

But that could change as the campaign moves to the Midwest and the Rust Belt, where Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, might find more strength and where polls suggest that Romney might have trouble connecting with voters.

Syrian rebels gather in an alley prior to a demonstration in Idlib, Syria. President Bashar Assad’s government has vowed to continue its crackdown on a nearly 11-month-old uprising that has become one of the deadliest of the Arab Spring.

U.S. closes Syrian embassy as diplomacy collapses The Associated Press BEIRUT — The U.S. closed its embassy in Syria and Britain recalled its ambassador to Damascus on Monday in a new Western push to get President Bashar Assad to leave power and halt the murderous grind in Syria — now among the deadliest conflicts of the Arab Spring.

Although the diplomatic effort was stymied at the U.N. by vetoes from Russia and China, the moves by the U.S. and Britain were a clear message that Western powers see no point in engaging with Assad and now will seek to bolster Syria’s opposition.

“This is a doomed regime as

well as a murdering regime,” British Foreign Secretary William Hague told lawmakers as he recalled his country’s ambassador from Syria. “There is no way it can recover its credibility internationally.”

President Barack Obama said the Syrian leader’s departure is only a matter of time.

“We have been relentless in sending a message that it is time for Assad to go,” Obama said during an interview with NBC. “This is not going to be a matter of if, it’s going to be a matter of when.”

The most serious violence Monday was reported in Homs, where Syrian government forc-

es, using tanks and machine guns, shelled a makeshift medical clinic and residential areas on the third day of a relentless assault, killing a reported 40 people, activists said. More than a dozen others were reported killed elsewhere.

Those deaths followed a regime onslaught in Homs that began Saturday, the same day Syria’s allies in Russia and China vetoed a Western- and Arabbacked resolution aimed at trying to end the crackdown on dissent. Some 200 people died, the highest death toll reported for a single day in the uprising, according to several activist groups.

SAN DIEGO — Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner has made “measurable progress” toward recovering mental competency to stand trial in the deadly rampage, a federal judge said Monday in ordering another four-month commitment at a prison mental hospital.

U.S. District Judge Larry Burns said there was “reason for optimism” that Loughner could be brought to trial sometime in the foreseeable future on the 49 felony counts stemming from the Jan. 8, 2011, shootings that left six people dead and 13 wounded, including former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Burns cited a psychiatrist’s report originating from the mental hospital in Missouri where Loughner has been forcibly treated with antipsychotic drugs for almost a year.

The report says Loughner, 23, has become more cooperative with prison and hospital staff and has been taking part in group therapy sessions.

PRAGUE — Record-low temperatures from a wave of Siberian air claimed more lives and closed the Danube on Monday, disrupting travel and damaging infrastructure as the cold snap entered a second week.

Temperatures in the European part of Russia are likely to remain 8 to 10 degrees lower than average this week, the Emergency Ministry in Moscow said. At least 64 Russians died and about 1,400 were treated for cold-related injuries as temperatures plunged across the country, dropping to minus 25 degrees Celsius (minus 13 Fahrenheit) in Moscow.

More than 50 of Russia’s regions were affected. In Ukraine, 135 people died, 2,000 were hospitalized in the past nine days from hy-

pothermia and thousands sought refuge in 3,261 government shelters. Arctic conditions led to an outbreak of accidental fires across the region caused by people trying to stay warm.

“We can’t say for sure what’s going to happen after this week, but none of the indicators give much hope for warmer weather any time soon,” said Milena Ferebauerova, from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute in Prague.

Austria closed the Danube river, the continent’s secondlongest, because of ice for the first time this year at the Aschach watergate near Linz on Monday, the Transport Ministry said on its website. Traffic on the river has been halted throughout Europe. Elsewhere, rivers such as the Mtkvari in Georgia froze over for the first time in decades.

TEHRAN, Iran — One measure of the profound anxiety now coursing through Iranian society can be seen on Manouchehri Street, a winding lane at the heart of this city where furtive crowds of men gather every day like drug dealers to buy and sell U.S. dollars.

The government has raised the official exchange rate and sent police into the streets to stop the black marketeers, but with confidence in Iran’s own currency, the rial, collapsing by the day, the trade goes on.

“Am I afraid of the police?

Sure, but I need the money,” said Hamid, a heavyset construction engineer who was standing by a muddy patch of greenery amid a crowd of other illicit currency traders here. “Food prices are going up, and my salary is not enough.”

Glancing nervously around him, he added that he had converted almost all of his assets into dollars.

Like many Iranians, he had also stockpiled months’ worth of rice and other staples.

The fuel for this manic trade is not an actual economic collapse — the new European oil embargo has yet to take effect, and there is plenty of food on the shelves — but a rising sense of panic about Iran’s encirclement, the possibility of war and the prospect of more economic pain to come. The White House announced a further tightening Monday aimed at freezing Iranian assets and constricting the activities of Iran’s Central Bank.

Already, the last round Self Referrals Welcome

of sanctions on Iran’s Central Bank has begun inflicting unprecedented damage on Iran’s private sector, traders and analysts say, making it so hard to transfer money abroad that even affluent businessmen are sometimes forced to board planes carrying suitcases full of U.S. dollars.

Yet this economic burden is falling largely on the middle class, raising the prospect of more resentment against the West and complicating the effort to deter Iran’s nuclear program — a central priority for the Obama administration in this election year.

“For the past few months, our business customers have been coming to us saying their clients are giving up on them, because they believe they will not be paid,” said Parvaneh, 41, who works at a Tehran bank. Like others interviewed for this article, she declined to give her full name, fearing repercussions for herself and her family.

The rising economic panic has illustrated — and possibly intensified — the bitter divisions within Iran’s political elite.

A number of insiders, including members of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, have begun openly criticizing Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in recent weeks. One of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s aides indirectly accused Khamenei of needlessly antagonizing the West in ways that pushed down the rial’s value, the latest sign of a rift between the president and the supreme leader.

CDC for first time recommends HPV vaccine for boys

By Anahad O’Connor

New York Times News Service

After years of debate, federal health officials have recommended that boys be routinely vaccinated against infection with human papillomavirus, or HPV. Since 2006, the vaccine has been recommended for girls and young women, largely because HPV causes cervical cancer.

But public health authorities had not expressly encouraged the vaccine for young boys, saying only that they “could” receive it to protect against genital warts and certain cancers and to help prevent the spread of HPV. In a new immunization schedule published last week in The Annals of Internal Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the first time recommended HPV vaccinations for boys aged 11 to 12 and catch-up vaccinations for those aged 13 to 21.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the country.

Two vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, protect against HPV Type 16 and other strains of the virus that cause cancers and genital warts.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Gardasil for young men aged 9 to 26 in 2009, and late last year a federal advisory committee announced that it had voted in favor of recommending routine use of the vaccine for boys.

Arts Continued from A1 O’Hagan’s concern is with the people, many of them young, who hang out in the plaza area between Drake Park and the breezeway that leads into downtown. She said she has seen a lot of “erratic behavior,” including fighting, drug deals and prostitution.

She’s also looked out the window to see people using the property as an open-air bathroom.

“You can’t have that kind of thing going on when you’re working with young children,” O’Hagan said, adding that there are times she doesn’t leave the building unless there’s a phone in her hand.

Since February 2006, Bend police have responded to the Goodwillie-AllenRademacher House more than 250 times. Some of those calls have come as the result of complaints, while others can be attributed to routine patrols through the area.

In 2010, Arts Central moved all of its classes for children to its Old Mill location after a couple of incidents that O’Hagan called particularly troubling. The nonprofit group tried working with downtown businesses and the Bend Police Department to solve the problem, including playing classical music over outdoor speakers and increasing the frequency of patrols in the area.

A sign was also placed on an overhang telling people that they should smile because they’re on camera.

That sign was used merely as a decoy since there currently aren’t any surveillance cameras in that location.

This issue isn’t new. For years, city officials and downtown business owners have complained about the various activities taking place around the Mirror Pond plaza. Bend police officers have also increased the number of patrols they do in that area.

“We do believe that we address the issues, but it’s a fine line,” Bend Police Lt. Paul Kansky said. “You’re still dealing with people’s civil rights because they have a right to be there.”

The city has struggled to find a solution to loitering and panhandling down-

The CDC’s recommendations are routinely followed by doctors and used to establish insurance coverage.

Many insurers began covering the vaccine for boys after FDA approval was issued in 2009, but some did not pay for the shots until the federal advisory committee’s announcement.

The committee’s recommendation was made official following a review new data showing that the vaccine is “very effective” in preventing genital warts and some cancers in men and women, said Eileen Dunne, an epidemiologist at the CDC. HPV infection can increase the risk of several cancers, including cervical, anal and oropharyngeal cancers occurring in the back of the tongue and the throat.

The new recommendation comes on the heels of a report last month showing that roughly 1 in 15 Americans are infected with oral HPV. The report also found that the virus is about three times more common in men than it is in women.

HPV is typically found in the genital area, affecting up to 80 percent of men and women at some point, but it can be transmitted through intimate contact, including oral sex, to the mouth, raising the risk of throat cancer.

One study last year found that throat cancers caused

by HPV Type 16 have tripled in the past 20 years.

town that won’t be seen as discriminatory.

Kansky also said some concerns, such as those involving the sex trade and largescale drug-dealing, are exaggerated.

For the most part, he said, the violations that occur involve underage drinking and smoking. Frequently, meanwhile, the police run across people in possession of small amounts of marijuana.

“We have a higher concentration of juveniles and/or young adults in that area,” Kansky said. “With that higher concentration comes sometimes additional offenses, either violations or criminal.”

The police department evaluates how it handles downtown issues each year to see if there’s anything that can be done differently.

Police Chief Jeff Sale, for instance, wants to experiment with the use of surveillance cameras downtown, though no decisions have been made about where those devices would be placed.

“We put a significant amount of time into downtown, including in that area,” Kansky said. “It takes a significant amount of resources, and we do that because we know that it does impact the quality of life.”

Not all of Arts Central’s problems downtown can be attributed to the loitering and other activities. Since the recession, the nonprofit has seen its classes shrink, making the Arts Station site a feasible business option. There were also occasional conflicts with special events and street closures.

Even so, Arts Central program assistant Tracy Alexander said the nonprofit was considering once again hosting youth classes at the Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher House this spring.

She said it was the perfect location to showcase that artwork.

“It’s a shame, you know.

It was such an amazing building, and we felt proud that we were able to have such a great resource in the center of town,” Alexander said. “It’s not the end of Arts Central by any means.

But it’s definitely an end to something that was really special.”

Dementia Continued from A1 For a doctor to ask someone with brewing dementia, “How are you?” isn’t enough, says Dr. Laurel Coleman, a geriatric physician at Maine Medical Center who is part of a federal advisory council tackling the issue.

“So often I hear, ‘The doctor only asks my mom how she is.

She says fine and it’s over,’” says Coleman. “That’s not dementia-capable, or dementiaaware, primary care.”

Family input should be mandatory, she told a recent council meeting. It’s the only way to know if the person really is eating and taking her medicines as she claims, and not forgetting to turn off the stove.

The question is how to square that input with patient confidentiality, especially if the person never filed the legal forms clearing family members to intervene, as happened with McKenzie.

Plus, regularly seeking that input takes more time than the typical 15-minute visit and is poorly reimbursed, notes Coleman. But she says more primary-care physicians are starting to be trained in dementia’s challenges.

More than 5 million Americans are estimated to have Alzheimer’s or similar forms of dementia, although as many as half may not be formally diagnosed. With the rapidly aging population, the toll is projected to reach up to 16 million by 2050. The Obama administration is drafting a national strategy to try to slow that coming avalanche — with research aiming for some effective treatments by 2025 — plus find ways for struggling families to better cope today.

Step 1 is earlier detection.

McKenzie directs an Alzheimer’s assisted-living facility in Washington, so she knows about dementia. Still, it took some sleuthing to determine how much her 82-year-old parents, living a few hours away in Maryland, were deteriorating. She says her father refused any assistance in caring for her mother, and together the couple put up such a good front that even their regular physician hadn’t realized their shared answers to standard check-up questions — How are you eating? Has anything changed? — simply

Administrator Continued from A1 However, Baney felt that Kanner was not conveying her voice on county policy, and DeBone wrote that Kanner did not provide enough feedback to the managers of county departments.

Baney said on Monday that the county will take time to check the backgrounds of both candidates. To this end, a team of county employees with law enforcement investigative experience will head to some of the areas where Munchheimer and Segrest worked.

“The most important thing I come away with is how great of a process was put in place for us to make a good decision,” Baney said.

The new county administrator’s annual base salary could start between $120,000 and $150,000, although actual pay will be negotiated, according to a county job brochure.

Kanner’s salary was nearly $157,000 when commissioners decided to fire him last year.

They paid him a severance of roughly $118,000 under an employment agreement.

Commissioners and interim County Administrator Erik Kropp said only a few Oregonians with city and county government experience applied for the job. Back in 2006, the two top candidates for the job had experience in local government in Oregon. Commissioners considered hiring former Tigard City Manager Bill Monahan, but opted for Kanner because of his county government experience.

Kanner worked for six years as deputy county administrator in Jackson County, which had a population of 194,515 when Kanner took the job in Deschutes County.

His experience also included a public affairs job for Metro, the Portland-area regional government, and a job as assistant to the city manager of Wilsonville.

Commissioners cited the weak economy as a possible reason why they did not re-

Alexis McKenzie, executive director of The Methodist Home of the District of Columbia Forest Side, talks with residents at the Alzheimer’s assisted-living facility. More than 5 million Americans are estimated to have Alzheimer’s or similar forms of dementia, although as many as half may not be formally diagnosed.

“So often I hear, ‘The doctor only asks my mom how she is. She says fine and it’s over.’ That’s not dementia-capable, or dementia-aware, primary care.”

weren’t true.

“It’s almost as if they’re sharing a brain. That’s how they get through a day,” McKenzie says.

Sure, dementia patients’ stories can be believable.

“It happens in doctors’ offices all the time,” says Beth Kallmyer, vice president of constituent services at the Alzheimer’s Association. That’s why it’s crucial that family members are part of the screening process.

The diseased brain may not be able to pull up a recent memory, but longer-term memories remain, she explains. So an intricate description of, say, cooking last night’s dinner may ring true because it was a real dinner, just not last night’s.

And a long-married couple in a familiar routine and surroundings can appear far more normal than they really are — until something upsets that balancing act, like the caregiving spouse getting sick, adds Dr. Gary Kennedy, geriatric psychiatry chief at

New York’s Montefiore Medical Center.

How to get around the hidden-dementia conundrum?

• Medicare’s new annual wellness visit pays for cognitive screening, simple tests that signal who should be referred for more extensive brain exams. “Even if primary-care physicians don’t consider themselves experts at evaluating for Alzheimer’s disease, or don’t feel comfortable, they can screen,” Kallmyer says.

• The government’s Alzheimer’s advisers want doctors to steer families toward advanced-care planning, including designating a health care power of attorney, as soon as dementia is diagnosed. Montefiore’s Kennedy says early diagnosis gives patients a say in how they want to be cared for while they’re still capable of making those decisions.

• A health care proxy won’t be used until the person is quite sick. So Kallmyer advises also signing what’s called a “release of information” allow-

ceive more applications from people with Oregon government experience. “Some may be worried about leaving positions they may currently have,” Baney said. “I think we are still in very tough economic times and some that may be thinking to move up may not want to run the risk.”

The county received 50 applications for the job, and several had Oregon city and county management experience, Kropp said.

“I remember one applicant who was very strong and worked currently for an Oregon county, and they ended up withdrawing for other reasons, but it’s hard to speculate why people wouldn’t apply,” Kropp said.

Both Unger and DeBone said they heard from job candidates with gaps in their résumés that the candidates were being very selective and only applying for jobs that seemed like a good fit.

DeBone said the candidates praised Deschutes County during interviews for its “wellmanaged, right-sized level of government.”

“I think every candidate that came would have been honored to take this job,” DeBone said.

Unger said it is not a problem that one of the county’s finalists does not currently have a job.

“A lot of people aren’t working right now,” Unger said.

“That’s the nature of the economy right now.”

Candidates applying for other jobs

Munchheimer has been busy applying for numerous city and county administration jobs since he left Palm Beach County, local news reports show. For example, he applied for county administrator jobs at Holmes County, Fla., and Citrus County, Fla., in 2009, and for the jobs of Delaware County, Ohio, administrator and Surfside Beach, S.C., town

ing the doctor to discuss the person’s care with whoever is named right away.

Such steps are important, Kennedy says, because advancing dementia leaves people so unaware of their deficits that they can take family or doctor input “as an affront.”

He always asks new patients if he can fill in their loved ones, or invite them in from the waiting room, as a way of starting that conversation.

• Doctors can violate patient confidentiality if they believe the person’s decisions or behavior has become a danger, Kennedy notes.

McKenzie says her father would never discuss naming a health care proxy and her parents were furious that she’d voiced concerns to their physician. She had to think up nonconfrontational ways to get invited back into their doctor visits: “I’ll drive you, and then why don’t I take notes in case you have any questions later?”

It turned out that McKenzie’s father had a non-cancerous brain tumor causing his own gradual dementia symptoms, which started becoming apparent with the phone mix-up, unrefrigerated food and eventually delusions. Finally, she had to go to court to get her parents the care they needed in an assisted living facility near their hometown.

administrator in 2010.

More recently, published reports show that in October, Munchheimer was one of 45 applicants for the job of Sarasota County, Fla., administrator.

As of Jan. 26, Munchheimer was among the finalists for the city manager job at Boynton Beach, Fla., the Sun Sentinel reported. He also applied for a job managing Taos County, N.M., in late January.

Segrest does not appear to have interviewed for as many jobs. He was a finalist in the summer of 2010 for the job of South Lake Tahoe city manager, while he still worked for the town of Moraga. In December, Segrest applied for the job of town manager in Taos, N.M., according to a local news report.

Dozens still missing after Philippine quake

By Hrvoje Hranjski

The Associated Press

MANILA, Philippines — Rescuers digging for survivors among dozens of people buried by earthquake-triggered landslides on a central Philippine island have found only bodies. The death toll climbed to 15 today, and at least 73 people were still missing.

Monday’s 6.9-magnitude earthquake also collapsed bridges and damaged roads on Negros Island, forcing soldiers and firefighters to hike mountains to reach remote villages.

Most of the confirmed deaths were in Planas village, a part of Guihulngan town where some 30 houses were buried under concrete debris.

Guihulngan Mayor Ernesto Reyes said crews were using backhoes to try to rescue people, but he added that at the rate deaths were being reported, the town may run out of coffins.

The damage may be worse than officials realized because

Constitution Continued from A1 The study, to be published in June in The New York University Law Review, bristles with data. Its authors coded and analyzed the provisions of 729 constitutions adopted by 188 countries from 1946 to 2006, and they considered 237 variables regarding various rights and ways to enforce them.

“Among the world’s democracies,” Law and Versteeg concluded, “constitutional similarity to the United States has clearly gone into free fall.

Over the 1960s and 1970s, democratic constitutions as a whole became more similar to the U.S. Constitution, only to reverse course in the 1980s and 1990s.

“The turn of the 21st century, however, saw the beginning of a steep plunge that continues through the most recent years for which we have data, to the point that the constitutions of the world’s democracies are, on average, less similar to the U.S. Constitution now than they were at the end of World War II.”

A variety of reasons There are lots of possible reasons. Our Constitution is terse and old, and it guarantees relatively few rights. The commitment of some members of the Supreme Court to interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning in the 18th century may send the signal that it is of little current use to, say, a new African nation. And the Constitution’s waning influence may be part of a general decline in U.S. power and prestige.

In an interview, Law identified a central reason for the trend: the availability of newer, sexier and more powerful operating systems in the constitutional marketplace.

“Nobody wants to copy Windows 3.1,” he said.

In a television interview during a visit to Egypt last week, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg seemed to agree.

“I would not look to the United States Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012,” she said.

She recommended, instead, the South African Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the European Convention on Human Rights.

The rights guaranteed by our Constitution are parsimonious by international standards, and they are frozen in amber. As Sanford Levinson wrote in 2006 in “Our Undemocratic Constitution,” “the U.S. Constitution is the most difficult to amend of any constitution currently existing in the world today.”

(Yugoslavia used to hold that title, but Yugoslavia did not work out.)

Other nations routinely trade in their constitutions wholesale, replacing them on average every 19 years.

By odd coincidence, Thomas Jefferson, in a 1789 letter to James Madison, said that every constitution “naturally expires at the end of 19 years” because “the earth belongs always to the living generation.”

These days, the overlap between the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and those most popular around the

world is spotty. We recognize rights not widely protected, including ones to a speedy and public trial, and we are an outlier in prohibiting government establishment of religion. But the Constitution is out of step with the rest of the world in failing to protect, at least in so many words, a right to travel, the presumption of innocence and entitlement to food, education and health care.

We have our idiosyncrasies. Only 2 percent of the world’s constitutions protect, as our Second Amendment does, a right to bear arms.

(Our brothers in arms are Guatemala and Mexico.)

Supreme Court’s declining influence

The Constitution’s waning global stature is consistent with the diminished influence of the Supreme Court, which “is losing the central role it once had among courts in modern democracies,” Aharon Barak, then the president of the Supreme Court of Israel, wrote in The Harvard Law Review in 2002.

Many foreign judges say they have become less likely to cite decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, in part because of what they consider its parochialism.

“America is in danger, I think, of becoming something of a legal backwater,” Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia said in a 2001 interview.

He said that he looked instead to India, South Africa and New Zealand.

Barak, for his part, identified a new constitutional superpower: “Canadian law,” he wrote, “serves as a source of inspiration for many countries around the world.” The new study also suggests that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in 1982, may now be more influential than its U.S. counterpart.

The Canadian Charter is both more expansive and less absolute. It guarantees equal rights for women and disabled people, allows affirmative action and requires that those arrested be informed of their rights. On the other hand, it balances those rights against “such reasonable limits” as “can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.”

There are, of course, limits to empirical research based on coding and counting, and there is more to a constitution than its words, as Justice Antonin Scalia told the Senate Judiciary Committee in October.

“Every banana republic in the world has a bill of rights,” he said.

“The bill of rights of the former evil empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was much better than ours,” he said, adding: “We guarantee freedom of speech and of the press. Big deal. They guaranteed freedom of speech, of the press, of street demonstrations and protests, and anyone who is caught trying to suppress criticism of the government will be called to account. Whoa, that is wonderful stuff!”

“Of course,” Scalia continued, “it’s just words on paper, what our framers would have called a ‘parchment guarantee.’”

ated Press by phone. “Many of our roads were damaged, including bridges, and stores are closed. We’re isolated.”

Another hard-hit area was the mountain village of

Solongon in La Libertad town, where an unknown number of people were trapped under some 100 houses.

President Benigno Aquino III ordered air force helicopters and navy and coast guard vessels to come to aid of rescuers, some of whom were digging with picks and shovels to look for survivors.

Workers were clearing and fixing and bridges leading up from the coast to mountains so heavy equipment, food and medicine could flow to the worst-hit villages.

Monday’s quake was caused by movement in an undersea fault 44 miles north of Dumaguete, capital of Negros Oriental province, and about 400 miles southeast of the nation’s capital, Manila. It hit at a depth of 29 miles.

Negros Oriental police chief Senior Superintendent Edward Carranza said at least 73 people remained missing in the province.

Crash Continued from A1 “Our information, from guys on the scene, is there was some fog that turned to ice on the shoulder, but the highway itself had not turned to ice on the surface,” said Peter Murphy, an Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman. “There was some residual deicer that was still there … placed on (Jan. 30).”

The highway’s southbound lanes were closed for several hours as emergency crews cleared the wreckage. The highway reopened just after 11 a.m.

After the accident, school district officials prepared counseling services for students at both Redmond Proficiency Academy, a district charter school, and Redmond High School.

According to Jon Bullock, the district’s strategic planning director, Tucker attended RPA last semester.

“I believe her first day of class at (Redmond High) was meant to be today,” Bullock

A5

said. “This is the first time (RPA) has had a student pass away since it has been open. This is the first time we’ve dealt with this at that campus.”

RPA is unique, in part, in that students frequently interact with teachers outside of the classroom. They exchange emails regularly, and teachers make their cellphone numbers available to their pupils.

“Staff at (RPA) will meet ... to discuss what to do if a student calls them,” Bullock said. “When a student passes away, it affects both those who knew them and those who didn’t know them, for a number of reasons. Staff is trained to deal with this and coached up on this when it happens.”

Bullock said counselors will be available for students throughout the week, and “safe rooms” are also in place at both high schools where students can speak with a counselor or just sit and reflect.

Palestinians take a step toward unity

Father had planned deadly fire, police say

By Karin Laub and Ibrahim Barzak

By Mike Baker and Gene Johnson The Associated Press

GRAHAM, Wash. — Josh Powell planned the house fire that killed him and his young sons for some time, dropping toys at a charity over the weekend and sending final emails to several acquaintances in the minutes before the blaze, authorities said Monday.

But nowhere does he appear to have revealed what happened to his wife, Susan Powell, who vanished from their Utah home two years ago.

Powell had been named a person of interest in her disappearance and just last week was denied custody of his children, who had been living with Susan’s parents. When a social worker arrived at his home with the boys Sunday, he barred her from the house and ignited the fire.

The three bodies were found in the central part of the house, which is about 45 miles south of Seattle, authorities said.

Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ed Troyer said police found two 5-gallon gasoline cans inside. One was used to spread gas throughout the house. The other was found near the bodies.

Troyer said Josh Powell sent emails to several people saying, “I’m sorry. Goodbye.”

To others, including his cousins and pastor, he sent longer emails, with instructions such as where to find his money and how to shut off his utilities.

In at least one email, he wrote that he couldn’t live without his boys, Troyer said.

But, he added, “There’s no indication about Susan in anything that we’ve found so far.”

“He had taken boxes of toys and books and donated them to the Goodwill sometime over the weekend,” Troyer said. “So this was definitely a deliberate, planned-out event.”

Russians drill into lake below Antarctica

By Marc Kaufman

The Washington Post

Russian scientists have drilled into the vast, dark and never-before-touched Lake Vostok 2.2 miles below the surface of Antarctica, the staterun Russian news agency RIA Novosti said Monday.

“Yesterday, our scientists stopped drilling at the depth of 3,768 meters and reached the surface of the subglacial lake,” the news agency quoted a source as saying. The team had “finally managed to pierce” the ice sheet into Vostok, the source said.

The report could not be verified Monday, but numerous Antarctica experts in the United States said they were hearing the same unconfirmed news. Sergei Lesenkov, spokesman for the Arctic and Antarctic Scientific Research Institute, told Agence FrancePresse in Moscow on Monday that there was the possibility of a “fundamental scientific development.”

It has taken the Russians more than 20 years to drill into the lake, operating in some of the most brutal weather conditions in the world.

Many scientists see Vostok as not only a last frontier on Earth, but also a potential gold mine for learning about possible conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Encedadus. Each is covered by a thick shell of ice with liquid water below, warmed by either the inner heat of the moon or by tidal forces.

The United States and Britain will begin drilling later this year into small subglacial Antarctic lakes. Scientists estimate there are about 200 of these lakes beneath the ice sheet.

Eisenhower Commission via New York Times News Service

An artist’s rendering of a model for the memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower to be built in Washington, D.C. The design and concept behind the memorial, with Frank Gehry as the architect, has raised objections by the Eisenhower family.

Family objects to planned memorial for Eisenhower

By Robin Pogrebin

This 1904 image of a young Dwight D. Eisenhower on a camping trip with his friends inspired the memorial design.

New York Times News Service

Yes, it’s true that Dwight D. Eisenhower referred to himself as “a barefoot boy” in 1945 when he returned home victorious to Abilene, Kan., after World War II. And it was in that image that architect Frank Gehry found inspiration for the design of the official memorial to Eisenhower for which groundbreaking is expected this year on the Washington Mall.

The design shows Eisenhower as a youth gazing out at images of his adult accomplishments against a backdrop of the Kansas plains. But the Eisenhower family objects to the design and is attempting to delay approval of the project in a dispute that has pitted a leading American family against one of the country’s most recognized architects.

The family says Gehry should portray Eisenhower as a man in the fullness of his achievements, not as a callow rustic who made good.

“He was chief of staff of the Army; he was a two-term president of the United States,”

Eisenhower Library via New York Times News Service

said Susan Eisenhower, a granddaughter. “It’s in those roles that America has gratitude for him, not as being a young boy with a great future in front of him.”

The family has asked that the project be delayed until its objections are addressed, and others have joined its cause.

“The statue of Ike as a Kansas farmer-boy mocks the president as cornpone in chief, the supreme allied bumpkin,” said the nonprofit National Civic Art Society, which focuses on architecture and urban design.

Last month the Eisenhower family made public its concerns, which also include the memorial’s scope and materi-

als, upon realizing that the project was on a fast track, saying that its views were being disregarded. Gehry has so far not responded publicly.

Officials overseeing the memorial’s construction say they worry that a lengthy dispute would prevent the elderly veterans who are most enthusiastic about an Eisenhower memorial from seeing it.

The memorial application was submitted last month by the National Park Service on behalf of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission.

The $112 million memorial will be primarily financed by taxpayers and is set to be dedicated on Memorial Day 2015.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — After months of wavering, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas took a decisive step Monday toward reconciliation with the Islamic militant group Hamas, a move Israel promptly warned would close the door to any future peace talks.

In a deal brokered by Qatar, Abbas will head an interim unity government to prepare for general elections in the Palestinian territories in the coming months.

The agreement appeared to bring reconciliation — key to any statehood ambitions — within reach for the first time since the two sides set up rival Palestinian governments in the West Bank and Gaza in 2007.

Monday’s deal, signed in the Qatari capital of Doha

by Abbas and Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal, put an end to recent efforts by the international community to

revive long-stalled negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on the terms of Palestinian statehood.

Abbas appears to have concluded that he has a better chance of repairing relations with Hamas, shunned by the West as a terror group, than reaching an agreement with Israel’s hardline prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu quickly condemned the Doha deal. “It’s either peace with Hamas or peace with Israel. You can’t have them both,” he said in a warning to Abbas, who has enjoyed broad international support.

In moving closer to Hamas, Abbas risks losing some of that backing and hundreds of millions of dollars a year in aid.

Qatar, awash with cash from vast oil and gas reserves, assured the Palestinians that it would help limit any political and financial damages, according to Palestinian officials close to the talks.

Pakistani spy agency under legal spotlight New York Times News Service LAHORE, Pakistan — Long unchallenged, Pakistan’s top spy agency faces a flurry of court actions that subject its darkest operations to unusual scrutiny, amid growing calls for new restrictions on its largely untrammeled powers.

The cases against the agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, have uncertain chances of success, analysts say, and few believe that they can immediately hobble it. But they do represent a rare challenge to a feared institution that is a cornerstone of military su-

premacy in Pakistan.

In the first case, due for a hearing Wednesday, the Supreme Court has ordered the ISI to produce in court seven suspected militants it has been holding since 2010 — and to explain how four other detainees from the same group died in mysterious circumstances over the past six months.

The second challenge, due for a hearing Feb. 29, revives a long-dormant vote-rigging scandal, which focuses on illegal donations of $6.5 million as part of a covert, and ultimately successful, operation to influence the 1990 election.

NeighborImpact announced the completion of a 68,000-watt solar power system installed on three buildings at Madras Townhomes.

The project, funded through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and administered by Oregon Housing and Community Services, began in early January and finished Feb. 3.

While the townhomes have been made as energy efficient as possible, said Emily Quaka, weatherization and home rehabilitation manager for NeighborImpact, the solar project will further reduce heating bills for residents.

“It was a unique opportunity to bring solar to low-income families and they’re the ones that could use it the most,” she said.

New York Times News Service

One of the largest companies that provided home foreclosure services to lenders across the nation, DocX, has been indicted on forgery charges by a Missouri grand jury — one of the few criminal actions to follow reports of widespread improprieties against homeowners.

A grand jury in Boone County, Mo., handed up an

indictment Friday accusing DocX of 136 counts of forgery in the preparation of documents used to evict financially strained borrowers from their homes. Lorraine Brown, the company’s founder and former president, was indicted on the same charges.

Employees of DocX, a unit of Lender Processing Services of Jacksonville, Fla., executed and notarized millions of mortgage docu-

ments for big banks and loan servicers over the years.

Lender Processing closed the company in April 2010 after evidence emerged of apparent forgeries in these documents, a practice now called robo-signing.

Chris Koster, the Missouri attorney general, will prosecute the case.

“The grand jury indictment alleges that mass-produced fraudulent signatures on no-

tarized real estate documents constitutes forgery,” Koster said in a statement. “Today’s indictment reflects our firm conviction that when you sign your name to a legal document, it matters.”

Koster said his office’s investigation was continuing.

This suggests he may hope to persuade Brown to cooperate in his investigation of the parent company.

Typhoon! closes its restaurants

Last month turned out to be the most expensive January ever at U.S. gasoline pumps, boosted by growing economic strength.

January is typically a month of falling gas prices because fuel demand falters in the slower travel weeks that follow the year-end holidays.

Not so this year.

In January, retail gasoline prices averaged $3.37 a gallon, according to the Oil Price Information Service, a private fuel information service. That compared with the previous record average for the month of $3.095 a gallon, set last year. In 2010, January gasoline prices averaged just $2.71 a gallon.

These people described the talks as advanced, although no announcement appeared to be imminent. The Wall Street Journal first reported the talks Monday.

The new channel could combine the resources of Disney’s ABC News and Univision’s news division to rival established news entities like Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN. It would be aimed at English-speaking Hispanics in the United States, whose numbers are growing.

In the past two years, Natty Seidenverg has set aside her academic pursuits and brewed up a tea company.

It started off as a side project.

Seidenverg said she told the owner of Townshend’s Tea Co. in Bend in 2009 that it should offer herbal teas to customers.

She wrote recipes for the tea shop in her free time based on what she’d learned from an herbalism class she’d taken in New York.

Soon Seidenverg began mixing the various herbs and teas for the shop.

People said she had a company on her hands. So she established one, Lovely Goat Plant Medicine LLC. Later, on advice from a business mentor, she changed the name to Metolius Tea & Apothecary.

“Things just sort of have blossomed since then,” she said.

In April, she moved the business from her home to a warehouse in southeast Bend, which people can visit by appointment. She’s hired a second employee, and last month the company showed a profit for the first time.

Production has increased, and Seidenverg, 26, has had to get herself more and more storage space for the herbs she uses in her blends. Some of the herbs — but not the teas — come from Central Oregon farms, she said.

In the next two years, she said, most of the herbs will be grown in the region.

Seidenverg sells her teas in Bend shops such as Jackson’s Corner, Devore’s Good Food Store, Whole Foods and Newport Avenue Market, in addition to Townshend’s.

Verizon to start a streaming service with Redbox

By Peter Svensson

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Phone company Verizon Communications will challenge Netflix and start a video streaming service this year with Redbox.

Verizon and Coinstar, Redbox’s parent company, said Monday that the service

will be national and available to non-Verizon customers as well. It adds another dimension to Verizon’s quest to become a force in home entertainment, and it looks set to compete to some extent with the cable-TV services it already sells.

Unlike competing services

from Amazon and Wal-Mart, the new service will combine Internet delivery of movies with DVDs, the way Netflix does. Dish Network also offers a similar bundle through its Blockbuster subsidiary.

Specific details and pricing of the new plan weren’t announced.

Late last year, the companies were shopping around a $6-per-month offering that would give subscribers one DVD rental from Redbox per month as well as unlimited streaming of a selection of movies, according to a person briefed on the plan then.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Tea Continued from B1 Prices are comparable to teas from other companies, Seidenverg said.

What: Metolius Tea & Apothecary Where: 1375 S.E. Wilson Ave., Suite 150, Bend Employees: Two Phone: 541-678-1721 Website: http:// metoliustea.com

you ever open up a Q: IWill retail shop? don’t know. Not having A: a shop is really nice, because other people have all the

shops for me, and all I have to do is bring it to them, and they get to be there at the counter all day, not me. And if I want to go to yoga at noon, I can do that and then blend before and after.

It’s just really nice to be able to make my own schedule. ...

And there’s just so much that I want to do. Herbalism is a big part of what I love, but I’m probably going to go back and get my Ph.D. (in the history of consciousness). And I feel like starting a shop would make that pretty darned difficult ... but maybe someday.

Can you scale this busiQ: ness up, or do you even want to do that?

A: Absolutely, yes.

Redbox Continued from B1 The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It’s not known whether the plan has changed since then, though the price is likely to be less than the $16-a-month minimum that Netflix subscribers have to pay for a combined DVD-by-mail and streaming plan.

Although consumers would pay less, Redbox’s inventory is limited to what’s in its kiosks, compared with Netflix’s library of more than 100,000 discs, including more obscure fare. Redbox customers will also have to go in person to pick up a disc, which saves the company mailing costs.

Getting an extensive library of streaming content to rival Netflix’s 20,000-plus titles will be expensive. The rising cost for streaming rights is the main reason that Netflix raised its U.S. prices by as much as 60 percent last year in a move that triggered a customer backlash. At the end of 2011, Netflix had video licensing commitments totaling $3.9 billion worldwide over the next several years.

Verizon will handle the

restaurants and cafés and golf courses and resorts throughout at least the Pacific Northwest. I don’t want to expand into Safeway or anything like that. Or Wal-Mart.

Uh-huh. (Laughs.) …

This job comes with nice benefits. I may not have been paid in the last two years, but I do have lots of herbs. It’s very wonderful. I love having something to give, and I love having something to trade. Most of my life in Bend is via trade at this point. So that’s been really convenient and wonderful.

streaming negotiations, Coinstar CEO Paul Davis told analysts in a conference call held late Monday to discuss the company’s fourth-quarter earnings. He declined to answer questions seeking more details about how the joint subscription service might work, citing a desire to keep things under wraps for competitive reasons. The streaming service won’t be available until the final half of this year.

business relationships with Hollywood studios and other content producers, something that could be an advantage in the negotiations for streaming rights.

With the Redbox venture, Verizon is breaking ranks with the cable and satellite industry, which makes its own video streaming services available only to people who also subscribe to its traditional TV feeds. They don’t want households switching to Internet-only services, which are cheaper. Netflix Inc. charges $8 per month for its streamingonly plan, for instance, while the average monthly cable bill is more than $70.

“We’ve made a conscious decision to innovate and get involved with this market because it’s legitimate and growing, and we think the partnership with Redbox gives us huge upside,” said Bob Mudge, president of Verizon’s consumer business.

Verizon’s own FiOS business is relatively small, with 4.2 million subscribers, making it the seventh-largest provider of TV signals to U.S. homes. Meanwhile, its landline phone business is shrinking, so it needs other avenues for growth. Its wireless arm is growing, but it owns only 55

percent of that venture. (Vodafone Group PLC of Britain owns the rest.)

Netflix, which is based in Los Gatos, Calif., ended last year with 24.4 million U.S. subscribers. About 8.4 million of those customers pay for Internet streaming and Netflix’s DVD-by-mail rental service.

Verizon and Coinstar said the service is intended to give subscribers access to DVD and Blu-ray discs as well as streaming movies starting in the second half of the year.

Subscribers might visit the site to find that the movie they want isn’t available for streaming, but is available at a Redbox kiosk nearby, Coinstar’s Davis said.

New York-based Verizon Communications will own 65 percent of the unnamed venture, with Bellevue, Wash.,based Coinstar owning the rest. Redbox is contributing an initial $14 million to the venture, according to a regulatory filing. It did not say how much Verizon would contribute. The filing indicated the two companies may be called upon to contribute a combined $450 million to the venture — another indication that it will have to pay steep licensing fees.

Looking for new markets Redbox, whose DVD rental kiosks are located in more than 29,000 stores, has been looking to expand into online streaming for more than a year. Its business so far has revolved around renting DVDs for as little as $1.20 per day.

Along the way, Redbox says it has accumulated about 36 million email addresses from DVD and video-game renters — information that could be used to promote the new streaming service.

Verizon has its own cableTV service, called FiOS, in some areas. Its Verizon Wireless subsidiary has also signed a deal to sell service from Comcast Corp. and other cable TV companies in its stores.

The cable-TV experience has helped Verizon establish

I’ve really taken tea and applied it to Western herbs and sort of mixed the two and created my own language. But I’m suddenly becoming way more interested in traditional tea culture, so I’m opening up a new avenue right now for exploration.

Continued from B1 Customers from big phone companies, large Internet service providers and computer makers think they can exceed the kind of cost savings Google has achieved in its large data centers.

“Extremely powerful computing is going to get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper,” said Lew Moorman, president of Rackspace, a company with 161,000 customers using its cloud. It has been working with Nicira since 2009. “Facebook and Google run their applications at a massive scale; we’ll let tens of thousands of companies do whatever they want too, on the fly.”

Other Nicira customers include AT&T, which is spending $1 billion a year on its cloud. AT&T wants its software engineers to be able to quickly build new personalized features for 100 million or more mobile phone customers. By interacting with several parts of the AT&T cloud, it might be possible for customers to send automatic texts to their friends, for instance, when they are stuck in traffic.

Japan’s NTT, the big phone company, has used it to automatically reconfigure a computer center’s thousands of machines, enabling it to take on the workload of a center in the middle of a tsunami.

EBay can use it to better manage workloads or offer new sales applications across its network.

Fewer points of entry Martin Casado, the company’s co-founder and chief technical officer, began thinking about network virtualization in 2002, when he was working as a contractor for a U.S. intelligence agency.

(He cannot say which one.)

“They needed secure, isolated networks that shared the same infrastructure,” he said. “Virtualization means you have fewer machines and fewer cables. That is fewer points of entry they have to control.”

It is tough to do. Networks are supposed to operate in real time and many computing jobs cannot shift around a

The competition A number of startups are betting big on network virtualization. Pica8 has a virtualized switch made with offthe-shelf chips that it claims can do the work of a $25,000 Cisco box for $3,000. VMWare, which sells small-scale network virtualization, works with young switch vendors like Arista on building extremely large data centers.

“Nicira is an element we can work with,” said Paul Maritz, VMWare’s chief executive. “There will be tens of thousands of big clouds defined by software, and they’ll be easy to set up.”

Both Cisco and Juniper say that they are already in the network virtualization game, but say there is still plenty of space for their custom systems.

“We have been in the forefront of driving network virtualization and programmability,” Ram Velaga, a Cisco vice president, wrote in an email. “We continue to evolve those technologies.”

Juniper is also pushing more software-intensive systems but, like Cisco, it uses custom chips.

The incumbents may have a while left to contend with the upstarts, because of some deeply held loyalties. Despite its long interest in Nicira, Casado says his old friends in the intelligence community are not yet customers.

“They are the most conservative and slow-moving people you can find, as far as technology cycles go,” he said with a shrug. “Companies like NTT and Rackspace are in a rush.”

data center without manually changing things like security and processing-task priorities. Casado, who calls network virtualization “the hardest problem I’ve looked at in my life,” returned to Stanford and in 2007 finished a Ph.D. thesis on security management in big networks. The government gave Nicira its first $1.5 million soon after.

The product took four years of work by Casado and 20 other Ph.D.s from Google, MIT, Cornell and VMWare, a pioneer in server virtualization.

GREEK BAILOUT

Government caves in to demands to cut jobs

By Derek Gatopoulos and Nicholas Paphitis The Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s coalition government caved in to demands to cut civil service jobs, announcing that 15,000 positions would go this year, amid mounting international pressure to agree on austerity measures needed to secure major new debt agreements.

The announcement Monday signals a shift in Greece’s policy, as state jobs have so far been protected during the country’s acute financial crisis, which started about two years ago. Public Sector Reform Minister Dimitris Reppas said the job cuts would be carried out under a new law that allows such firings.

Unions have called a 24hour general strike for today, in response to the new austerity measures, while about 4,000 protesters braved torrential rain late Monday to join protest rallies organized in central Athens by left-wing opposition parties.

Greece is racing to push through the painful reforms — which have yet to be agreed to

by Greece’s coalition partners — to clinch a 130 billion euro ($170 billion) bailout deal from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund and avoid a March default on its bond repayments.

Forgery Continued from B1 If convicted, Brown could face up to seven years in prison for each forgery count.

DocX could be fined up to $10,000 for each forgery conviction.

Chris Rosenblum, a lawyer at Rosenblum, Schwartz, Rogers & Glass who represents DocX, said: “We have not had an opportunity to review the indictment at this point. The company intends to enter a plea of not guilty.”

According to the indictment, Brown acted “knowingly in concert with DocX and its employees” to mislead and defraud the Boone County recorder of deeds. The documents central to the indictments were deeds of release, which eliminate a previous claim on an asset. Such releases are typically issued when a mortgage has been paid off.

Phone messages left at Brown’s home and with her lawyer were not returned Monday evening.

Since evidence of pervasive foreclosure improprieties emerged, state officials have mostly brought civil suits

Protesters hold a banner which reads “Bread, Education, Freedom. Junta didn’t end in 1973” under a heavy rainfall outside the Greek Parliament in Athens on Monday.

Debt-ridden Greece has been kept solvent since May 2010 by payments from a 110 billion euro ($145 billion) international rescue loan package. When it became clear the money would not be enough, a second bailout was decided last October.

As well as the austerity measures, the bailout also depends on separate talks with banks and other private bondholders to forgive 100 billion euros ($131.6 billion) in Greek debt.

The private investors have been locked in negotiations over swapping their current debt for a cash payment and new bonds worth 50 percent less than the original face value, longer repayment terms and a cut in the

interest rate to be paid on the bonds. Greek government officials say they expect private investors to take an overall cut of up to 70 percent on the value of their bonds.

However, the EU-IMF bailout has to be secured for the deal with private investors to go ahead as about 30 billion euros from the bailout will be used as the cash payment in the bond swap deal.

Greece’s coalition party leaders pushed back a key meeting on the austerity measures by a day until today, due to the ongoing negotiations with EUIMF debt inspectors who were locked in talks with the government Monday.7

against the institutions and law firms that filed the fraudulent documents. Individuals in Nevada, for example, have been charged with notary fraud, but beyond that matter, criminal cases arising from foreclosure practices have been uncommon.

The Missouri grand jury found that the person whose name appeared on 68 documents executed on behalf of a lender — someone named Linda Green — was not the person who had signed the papers. The documents were submitted to the Boone County recorder of deeds as though they were genuine, Koster said.

A recent civil lawsuit against Lender Processing by the attorney general of Nevada found that former workers at one of its divisions had described their work as “surrogate signers.” One worker who was quoted in the complaint said she had been paid $11 an hour and told that her job was “to sign somebody else’s signature on documents.” The person said she had signed roughly 2,000 documents a day for months, according to the lawsuit.

In addition to deed releases, DocX surrogate signers routinely executed assignments of mortgage, which reflect changes in ownership.

The indictment is only the latest legal assault on the company and its parent, Lender Processing. In August 2011, American Home Mortgage Servicing, a large loan servicer, sued Lender Processing, contending that more than 30,000 residential mortgages that it had handled across the country contained “improper execution, notarization and recording of assignments of mortgage.” DocX executed such paperwork for American Home from April 2008 through November 2009, the lawsuit said.

Last April, Lender Processing signed a consent order with the nation’s top financial regulators, agreeing to remediate improperly executed mortgage documents and to correct its default business practices. Michelle Kersch, a Lender Processing spokeswoman, said recently that the company now executed documents “with stringent controls in place” to ensure compliance with all rules.

However, the EU-IMF bailout has to be secured for the deal with private investors to go ahead as about 30 billion euros from the bailout will be used as the cash payment in the bond swap deal.

Greece’s coalition party leaders pushed back a key meeting on the austerity measures by a day until today, due to the ongoing negotiations with EUIMF debt inspectors who were locked in talks with the government Monday.

against the institutions and law firms that filed the fraudulent documents. Individuals in Nevada, for example, have been charged with notary fraud, but beyond that matter, criminal cases arising from foreclosure practices have been uncommon.

The Missouri grand jury found that the person whose name appeared on 68 documents executed on behalf of a lender — someone named Linda Green — was not the person who had signed the papers. The documents were submitted to the Boone County recorder of deeds as though they were genuine, Koster said.

A recent civil lawsuit against Lender Processing by the attorney general of Nevada found that former workers at one of its divisions had described their work as “surrogate signers.” One worker who was quoted in the complaint said she had been paid $11 an hour and told that her job was “to sign somebody else’s signature on documents.” The person said she had signed roughly 2,000 documents a day for months, according to the lawsuit.

In addition to deed releases, DocX surrogate signers routinely executed assignments of mortgage, which reflect changes in ownership.

The indictment is only the latest legal assault on the company and its parent, Lender Processing. In August 2011, American Home Mortgage Servicing, a large loan servicer, sued Lender Processing, contending that more than 30,000 residential mortgages that it had handled across the country contained “improper execution, notarization and recording of assignments of mortgage.” DocX executed such paperwork for American Home from April 2008 through November 2009, the lawsuit said.

Last April, Lender Processing signed a consent order with the nation’s top financial regulators, agreeing to remediate improperly executed mortgage documents and to correct its default business practices. Michelle Kersch, a Lender Processing spokeswoman, said recently that the company now executed documents “with stringent controls in place” to ensure compliance with all rules.

Avion Water Co. assistant service manager Art Sharkey collects a sample of water from the well house in front of the company headquarters in Bend on Thursday.

• Federal, state and local officials are still trying to nail down an acceptable level for the carcinogen found in several cities’ tap water – including Bend’s

A

By Scott Hammers • The Bulletin n environmental interest group created a stir more than a year ago when it reported the presence of a cancer-causing agent in Bend’s drinking water.

Since then, local utility officials have kept a closer eye on the compound, which

they’d largely ignored previously.

In December 2010, the Washington D.C.-based Environmental Working Group announced the results of a study measuring levels of hexavalent chromium in the water supplies of 35 cities around the country, including Bend. Used in metal plating and the production of various building materials, hexavalent chromium is a recognized human carcinogen, though most studies have focused on the inhalation of hexavalent chromium vapors rather than ingestion through drinking water. Though not common, it can also be produced in nature through the oxidation of less toxic forms of chromium.

In Bend, a test performed on a sample drawn from a home served by the Avion Water Co. — a private utility serving just under 11,000 residential customers in southwest Bend — found hexavalent chromium at 0.78 parts per billion. The concentration is comparable to half a teaspoon in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Though initial reports did not say if the sample came from the city system that serves most Bend residents or the Avion system, officials at both utilities soon found themselves fielding calls from concerned customers.

— Steve Prazak, testing lab manager, Bend water system

Jason Wick, manager at Avion, said the whole episode was an uncomfortable one. Because neither the EPA nor the state has a standard for the maximum level of allowable hexavalent chromium, Wick found himself falling back on the only chromium tests required by either, for combined hexavalent and trivalent chromium. Under that standard, Avion has always been well below the EPA’s 100 ppb maximum for combined chromium in drinking water.

Calls to the federal agency for help answering customers’ questions were largely unsuccessful, Wick recalled.

“I’d have these discussions with

the EPA: ‘I’m left defending your standard, you need to give me information,’” he said. “There wasn’t any.”

Steve Prazak, testing lab manager for the Bend water system, remembers the experience more fondly.

“I enjoyed educating the public,” he said. “I think I tracked almost 40 calls and people were afraid. They were really scared by this, but I enjoy doing that, talking about water quality.”

Prazak said all indications suggest the hexavalent chromium found in Bend water is naturally occurring, a consequence of the area’s volcanic geology. He said while the substance is dangerous, he’s not convinced the research supports significantly tightening the standard for how much is allowed in drinking water. Lab rats that were studied to determine the link between hexavalent chromium and cancer were given daily doses far higher than found in any drinking water, he said, while other studies suggest that when ingested in appropriately small quantities, hexavalent chromium is converted to trivalent chromium — an essential nutrient — by the human digestive system.

WASHINGTON — The Deschutes Skyline Project, a 10-year program to restore forest health and reduce fires in Central Oregon, will receive another $500,000 in federal funding for 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last week.

The project, which covers roughly 145,000 acres just west of Bend, is part of the U.S. Forest Service’s Collabor-

ative Forest Landscape Restoration program.

The program is designed to maintain healthy forests IN D.C. and ecosystems while also reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack included news of the funding in an announcement that 10 new projects, including two in Oregon, had been

approved for the coming year.

The Deschutes Skyline Project, which began in 2010, was one of the first 10 of the federal restoration projects in the country.

“Through our partnerships with states, communities, tribes and others, we are committed to restoring our forests and bringing jobs to rural America,” said Vilsack in a statement. “Whether the threat comes from wildfire, bark beetles or a changing climate, it is vital that we step

up our efforts to safeguard our country’s natural resources.”

The Deschutes Skyline Project — not to be confused with the Deschutes Land Trust’s efforts to buy 30,000 acres of private timber and turn it into a preserve called Skyline Forest — is a 10-year plan to restore 145,000 acres of forest, 112,000 of which are overseen by the U.S. Forest Service. It also received $500,000 in federal funding in both 2010 and 2011.

SALEM — Dave Kaiser thought he had a shot at saving his Madras farm from foreclosure.

As far as he knew, he was making progress toward modifying his loan. But one Sunday morning, as he was eating breakfast, a real estate agent informed him otherwise, serving him his notice of default papers.

IN “He had absolutely no idea this SALEM was coming,” said Karen McCarthy, who lives with Kaiser on his farm.

McCarthy and many others testified Monday before the Senate General Government, Consumer and Small Business Protection Committee, whose members considered legislation designed to help homeowners enduring the foreclosure process.

CROOK COUNTY

School district planning remodels

By Duffie Taylor The Bulletin

Crook County School District may ask voters to approve a bond measure later this year to pay for repairs and upgrades to district facilities.

District officials said the bond — which could appear on ballots in November or May 2013 — would replace the current bond voters pay, which is set to expire in 2014.

The district recently hired Bend-based BLRB Architects to assess its buildings over the next two months, said district maintenance director Deen Hylton. After the $40,000 assessment is complete, the Crook County School Board will assemble a committee to review the results and prioritize maintenance needs.

The district has considered updating its facilities since 2006, Hylton said.

THE BULLETIN • TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012

Schools bond Continued from C1 Officials weighed a $66 million bond measure that would have paid for upgrades as well as the construction of two schools, but the proposal was dropped during the 2008 recession.

Hylton said the bond measure the district is now considering would be significantly smaller and wouldn’t include any new construction.

“We want to make sure if they go out we’re only going to ask for what we actually need,” said Hylton.

“There will be no fluff in this assessment.”

The district’s assessment for the last bond proposal identified $17 million in critical upgrades and repairs, Hylton said. The new assessment will be useful in determining what has changed.

Among other things, the 2006 assessment, completed

by Dull Olsen Weekes Architects, Inc., recommended replacing the boiler systems at Cecil Sly Elementary, Crooked River Elementary and Ochoco Elementary. That report also noted that many of the district’s buildings are very old, having been built in 1930s and ’40s.

“With the new assessment, I’m not sure where the dollar amount is going to lie,” he said. “The good thing is labor and material costs are lower right now. But there may be some areas that may have been overlooked the first time that are now thought to be critical.”

Skyline Continued from C1 John Allen, forest supervisor for the Deschutes National Forest, said the federal funding shows that Central Oregon is important to the U.S. Forest Service. It also shows the project’s partners in the community that various phases of the project will be completed quickly.

“It gives them a greater sense that the time and energy that they are putting into this collaboration is paying off with some results,” he said.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, said that the projects also bring much-needed jobs to communities near forests.

“These are areas with unacceptably high unemployment,” Walden said in a statement. “Any additional work is welcome in our rural communities. I am pleased that Secretary Vilsack made the correct decision to support these highly rated Oregon projects.”

108 jobs for region Over 10 years, the Forest Service estimates that the Deschutes Skyline Project will bring 108 jobs to the area, creating $3.8 million in labor income.

“It’s terrific news that Oregon’s forest restoration projects will be funded to create jobs in some of Oregon’s hardest-hit rural communities,” said Russell Hoeflich, Oregon director for The Nature Conservancy, in response to Vilsack’s announcement. “It’s a tribute to the hard work by community leaders and to the great science developed by Oregonians that shows you can produce healthier forests, clean water and jobs in the woods, all at the same time.”

In 2010, the Deschutes Skyline Project treated 18,800 acres of hazardous fuels and produced 8,800 tons of woody biomass, according to the Forest Service.

THE BULLETIN • TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012

Schools bond Continued from C1 Officials weighed a $66 million bond measure that would have paid for upgrades as well as the construction of two schools, but the proposal was dropped during the 2008 recession.

Hylton said the bond measure the district is now considering would be significantly smaller and wouldn’t include any new construction.

“We want to make sure if they go out we’re only going to ask for what we actually need,” said Hylton.

“There will be no fluff in this assessment.”

The district’s assessment for the last bond proposal identified $17 million in critical upgrades and repairs, Hylton said. The new assessment will be useful in determining what has changed.

Among other things, the 2006 assessment, completed

by Dull Olsen Weekes Architects, Inc., recommended replacing the boiler systems at Cecil Sly Elementary, Crooked River Elementary and Ochoco Elementary. That report also noted that many of the district’s buildings are very old, having been built in 1930s and ’40s.

“With the new assessment, I’m not sure where the dollar amount is going to lie,” Hylton said. “The good thing is labor and material costs are lower right now. But there may be some areas that may have been overlooked the first time that are now thought to be critical.”

Skyline Continued from C1 John Allen, forest supervisor for the Deschutes National Forest, said the federal funding shows that Central Oregon is important to the U.S. Forest Service. It also shows the project’s partners in the community that various phases of the project will be completed quickly.

“It gives them a greater sense that the time and energy that they are putting into this collaboration is paying off with some results,” he said.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, said that the projects also bring much-needed jobs to communities near forests.

“These are areas with unacceptably high unemployment,” Walden said in a statement. “Any additional work is welcome in our rural communities. I am pleased that Secretary Vilsack made the correct decision to support these highly rated Oregon projects.”

108 jobs for region Over 10 years, the Forest Service estimates that the Deschutes Skyline Project will bring 108 jobs to the area, creating $3.8 million in labor income.

“It’s terrific news that Oregon’s forest restoration projects will be funded to create jobs in some of Oregon’s hardest-hit rural communities,” said Russell Hoeflich, Oregon director for The Nature Conservancy, in response to Vilsack’s announcement. “It’s a tribute to the hard work by community leaders and to the great science developed by Oregonians that shows you can produce healthier forests, clean water and jobs in the woods, all at the same time.”

In 2010, the Deschutes Skyline Project treated 18,800 acres of hazardous fuels and produced 8,800 tons of woody biomass, according to the Forest Service.

O!"#$% N"&' State GOP primaries opened to unaffiliated

Proposed bill meant to limit damage done by state lottery

By Jeff Mapes The Oregonian

By Janie Har

The Oregon Republican Party, seeking to become more competitive in a state where most major offices are held by Democrats, announced Monday that it will open its May primary for three statewide offices to nonaffiliated voters.

Oregon Republican Chairman Allen Alley said the party will allow these voters to cast ballots in the primary races for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.

However, non-affiliated voters won’t be allowed to vote in the presidential primary, in legislative primaries or in any partisan races for local office.

Both parties have tried open primaries in the past. The Republicans held them in 1990 and 1992 but abolished them after many party regulars argued that only GOP members should get to choose the party’s nominees.

The Democrats held open primaries in 1998 and 2000 but found the process too cumbersome once mail balloting started being used in all elections.

Greg Leo, the Oregon GOP’s chief of staff, said the Republicans will run their “freedom primary,” as they are dubbing it, in a different manner. Unlike the Democratic experiment in past years, non-affiliated voters won’t have to request a ballot. Instead, the more than 420,000 non-affiliated voters in the state will automatically receive a primary ballot that includes those statewide races.

The Oregonian

Rep. Bill Kennemer, R-Oregon City, has requested the filing of House Bill 4083, which calls on the Oregon Lottery to mitigate public harms associated with lottery games and its marketing of those games.

The bill was scheduled for a public hearing with the House Human Services Committeee on Monday. Kennemer says he and Rep. Carolyn Tomei, D-Milwaukie, have been working on the concept for some time.

“Both of us share a common concern that an estimated 67,000 Oregonians are addicted to video lottery games,” he said.

The lottery has long vexed legislators, because the state relies on the money generated by the games but frets over related social ills. Oregon Lottery fumbled in November, when it tried to roll out a new Internet game site that worried some as too attractive to minors. Gov. John Kitzhaber was in that category, and called a stop to the launch.

HB 4083 calls on the lottery commission to draw up a comprehensive policy that addresses a code of conduct for marketing and research on how to mitigate harm.

“This is a kind of very modest first step,” Kennemer said. “In today’s environment, you’re not going to scale back the lottery and that’s just the simple reality.”

Reward for leads in Ashland path killing nears $15K The Associated Press ASHLAND — Police say the reward fund in the killing of a young man last year on an Ashland bike path is expected to hit $15,000.

Chief Terry Holderness tells the Ashland Daily Tidings he hopes the reward shakes loose some information. He says investigators have a diminishing number of leads to run down, and there’s still no suspect.

The reward is for information about the killing in November of 23-year-old grocery clerk David Grubbs, who was nearly decapitated.

The paper reported Monday the fund is at $10,000, and Holderness says he expects another $5,000 donation.

Salem Statesman Journal file photo

Lawyer Dan Gatti poses for a portrait in Salem in December 2011. Gattie, the lawyer for 15 men who alleged they were sexually abused by a Catholic priest at a state correctional facility, has been accused by the state bar association of ethics violations in the case.

Lawyer in priest sex-abuse case faces ethics complaint The Associated Press SALEM — A Salem lawyer for 15 men who sued over alleged abuse by a Catholic priest at an Oregon reform school in the 1970s faces a state bar association ethics complaint that he misled his clients about how the lawsuits were settled and the money divvied up.

The state paid about $1 million to settle the lawsuits, and the Portland Archdiocese paid about $600,000.

The men said their abuser was the Rev. Michael Sprauer, employed by the state at what is now the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn. Sprauer has denied the allegations in past court testimony. His attorneys argued the allegations were fabricated by ex-cons as part of a moneymaking scheme.

The ethics complaint was initiated by an inmate, Earl New, who said he asked lawyer Dan Gatti for details of the settlements and didn’t get them, according to The Salem Statesman Journal. New was

“I’m really hopeful that when they do a deposition, their discovery, it will just go away.”

— Dan Gatti, lawyer

among those who allege he was abused.

New is in the Snake River Correctional Institution near Ontario in Eastern Oregon on burglary, kidnapping and sodomy convictions.

Conduct violations?

The bar’s complaint, filed with the Oregon Supreme Court, supports New, saying Gatti violated rules of professional conduct.

It says Gatti “had a duty to inform New and the other abuse clients” of his participation in the settlement allocations and “knowingly or intentionally” withheld that from them.

A hearing before a threemember panel is expected this

summer, said bar spokeswoman Kateri Walsh.

Potential sanctions run from a public reprimand to a suspension of Gatti’s law license or even disbarment, she said.

Gatti said the complaint is unfounded and he is asking for it to be dismissed.

“I’m really hopeful that when they do a deposition, their discovery, it will just go away,” he said.

Gatti, 66, said he has placed his attorney work on hold as he deals with medical issues.

He underwent open-heart surgery in 2009 and is dealing with complications that have required multiple surgeries.

In 2000, the state Supreme Court reprimanded Gatti for posing as a chiropractor to obtain information about medical reviews done on behalf of an insurance company, citing the bar’s rule against lawyers engaging in any form of deceit.

Gatti defended the tactic as an investigative tool to expose fraud in the insurance industry.

MISSING MUSHROOM HUNTERS

Chopper pilot no stranger to search, rescue

By Noelle Crombie The Oregonian

It was clear and calm Saturday morning as John Rachor, a veteran of more than a dozen search and rescue missions in Southern Oregon, flew over a small patch of Curry County looking for three mushroom pickers who disappeared last week.

Rachor alternated his gaze between the instrument panel of his Robinson R44 and the ground to look for anything out of place in the carpet of browns and greens below.

And that’s when he saw it: something was moving in the thick woods. Was it a deer or an elk?

Rachor took a closer look.

“It was a man in bib overalls,” he said.

The man stood in a clearing no bigger than the size of a car or two. He was waving both hands. A woman was standing next to him.

Rachor had found Daniel and Belinda Conne, and their 25-year-old son Michael. The family became lost last week, and spent six days in the Curry County wilderness. The family was located about 10 miles from Gold Beach. They were tired, hungry, cold but escaped serious injury.

Rachor, 63, who lives in Medford and is a Jackson County commissioner, knows something about search and rescue missions. He’s the same pilot who found Kati Kim and her two young daughters in 2006. The Kim family was missing in the Oregon wilderness for nine days

Helicopter pilot John Rachor is pictured standing in front of his helicopter in Medford in December 2006. When Southern Oregonians see a tiny orange and yellow helicopter flying overhead, it could be Rachor on his way to yet another volunteer rescue mission.

and were the subject of an intense search and rescue effort that gripped the nation. Kati’s husband, James, died of exposure and hypothermia after a 16-mile hike in ice and snow to get help for his family, He said he often gets questions or hears criticism about the people he’s searching for: why don’t they carry maps or compasses or equip themselves with global positioning devices?

“The people who get lost don’t think that way,” he said.

“They don’t plan like that.

That’s why the end of up getting lost.”

Since he found Kati Kim and her daughters, Rachor figures he’s taken part in about 15 search and rescue missions.

He deflected questions about those successful searches for

snowmobilers and hikers, saying ground searchers deserve as much credit as he does for finding people who get lost in the wilderness.

Rachor said he was sitting down to dinner Saturday night when those searchers were still making their way out of the woods.

“I just want to commend them,” he said. “A lot of them were out there for days at a time. I saw them coming in covered with mud. This is tough country. Flying is the easy part.”

Rachor volunteers his time to help search and rescue missions but the state reimburses him for fuel, which in this latest search cost about $420.

Since he joined the Jackson County Board of Commissioners last year, Rachor isn’t supposed to take part in search and rescue operations in that county. It’s seen as a conflict of interest since he oversees the budget for those efforts. He doesn’t get too worried when he hears of overdue hunters — they’re likely to have what they need to survive in the woods — but he said he’s made it clear that he won’t sit by if a search in his county takes a dire turn.

“If there is a 4-year-old boy (who’s lost), all bets are off and I am going anyway,” he said.

“When you have something like this, when people’s lives are at stake, I will always go.”

Exposing candidates, building loyalty Leo said Republican leaders believe this “exposes our candidates to non-affiliated voters and builds loyalty ... We think there is a greater likelihood they will vote for them in the general.”

Voters registered in one of the state’s minor parties — such as the Independent or Libertarian party — would not be allowed to participate in the Republican primary.

He said the state Republican central committee, which approved the new plan in a meeting Saturday in Albany, also decided not to include legislative candidates because they wanted to test the concept just in statewide races.

“We believe that the Republican Party messages of responsible, responsive and efficient government coupled with fostering economic prosperity are not just Republican values, they are values that non-affiliated voters and even Democrats can embrace,” said Alley. “Non-affiliated voters are the only group that has not been allowed to cast a ballot in primary elections for partisan state offices. The Oregon GOP is sending them a message: we want you.”

When Senate Bill 1510 came up before a Senate committee last week, Sen. Betsy Johnson — a Scappoose Democrat — told the committee she saw the bill as an inoculation against a ballot measure that would make fishing offlimits along the Coast.

“A well-funded, perhaps East Coast-drafted ballot measure has the very real potential to tie up the whole Oregon Coast,” she said. “I believe this bill protects the Coast from an economic Armageddon that could result from a ballot measure.”

“Economic Armageddon.” From the East Coast. That sounds scary.

If legislators are going to run scared every time there are whispers of ballot measures, Oregonians should run scared from their state.

But there can be times when ballot measures are driven by frustration that the Legislature has failed to act. So the question is, does this bill strike the right balance?

Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski said reserves “must benefit — not disrupt — existing economic and recreational uses of our ocean.”

Our Ocean, one of the advocacy groups pushing for more reserves, says: “Prudent marine protections must strike the right balance between maximizing ecological benefits and minimizing adverse impacts on ocean users.”

We’d say the bill is off.

Marine reserves are wilderness areas in the ocean. Some reserves would not permit any swimming,

fishing, boating, drilling, or wave or wind energy projects. The argument for reserves is that they help marine life bloom and give scientists opportunities for study.

The state has been studying and evaluating pilot reserves. SB 1510 would move ahead with 11 reserves and less restrictive protected areas.

Fishermen and others in Oregon’s coastal communities worry reserves will dry up business. The bill includes some sweeteners to make it easier on those communities — if you can call them sweeteners. The bill doesn’t allow prohibitions on fishing until data is collected. But even that sweetener tells fishermen to get ready to stop fishing. The bill also requires state officials to use local resources when it’s practical. Fishermen and charter operators will doubtlessly be excited to hire out their boats to collect data to curtail their business.

It’s hard to argue the reserves in the bill are distributed with a sense of balance. Oregon’s coastline is some 360 miles long. Lincoln County has about 50 of those coastal miles and one of the largest fishing fleets in the state. In SB 1510, it gets hit the hardest.

The bill also has no sunset.

The reserves don’t go away if the science doesn’t support keeping them.

There are, of course, going to be benefits from studying the ocean.

It’s disappointing that the Senate environment committee forwarded SB 1510 along without any effort to fix it.

College obeyed the law

A

t Pomona College, some students and alumni are furious because they think the college administration did something outrageous: It followed the law.

According to The New York Times, the students say the Southern California college fired long-time cafeteria workers as retaliation for their effort to form a union. President David Oxtoby says the college had no choice but to follow the law, “even though it really hurt the community.”

Oxtoby told the Times that the college received a “specific, credible complaint,” and the resulting investigation found 84 employees, including professors and students, whose files lacked proof of their work status. Seventeen were unable to provide documentation and lost their jobs. Sixteen of those were cafeteria workers.

The Times reported that Scripps’ president stopped an effort by a human resources officer to verify work authorization for seven employees. Scripps, however, was not responding to any complaint.

The situation is a sad commentary on the way immigration issues divide us. The students would do better to focus their energies at understanding the complexities and contributing to the discussion.

Once they have a view of the right solution, they could spend their idealistic energies on changing the law, rather than expecting their college to violate it.

Wolves have been vilified

By Steve Pedery and David Stowe ray wolves have a way of igniting fierce debates. How anyone feels about the species often has less to do with the role wolves play in the Oregon landscape and more to do with identity politics. In the ongoing culture war, wolves are often collateral damage.

Still, even those jaded by years of controversy over the species must have been surprised by some outlandish comments made by Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation President David Allen printed in The Bulletin on Jan. 7 (“Predator, Protector — As costs mount, some researchers point out benefits”).

Despite the fact that only a small population of approximately 30 wolves currently roams Oregon’s backcountry, Allen thinks it all too much. To quote the story: “To keep wolf populations controlled, (Allen) said, states will have to hold hunts, shoot wolves from the air and gas their dens.”

Aerial gunning and poisoning?

Pardon us, but this isn’t the 1930s.

In one of the greatest environmental tragedies in United States history, wolves were nearly wiped out from the lower 48. In Oregon and neighboring states, government-sponsored bounties incentivized trappers to kill every wolf they could find.

The wolf extermination was carried out to rid the landscape of native predators — then thought to be a nuisance to a growing livestock industry. Today, we know better.

For nearly 40 years, the Endangered Species Act has helped to prevent

G

IN MY VIEW extinction and rebuild populations of wildlife threatened by development. Wolves, reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the mid1990s, have expanded to occupy historic habitat in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and — recently — California.

As the Bulletin article mentioned, scientists have documented a cascade of benefits to the surrounding environment resulting from the returning wolf population. As a keystone species, wolves balance the landscape and help species ranging from elk to aspen fill their proper role in the food chain.

Not mentioned in the Bulletin article is the positive impact wolves have had on local economies where they have been reestablished. A 2006 University of Montana study showed that the Yellowstone area benefits from $35 million of economic activity related to wolves every year. As the world learns of Oregon’s wolves through the amazing travels of OR-7 — a radio-collared wolf who has traveled more than 1,000 miles from northeast Oregon all the way to the California/Nevada border — we can expect a similar bump in wolf tourism activity.

So then, why are extreme voices calling for the re-extermination of wolves? Contrary to media headlines, not all ranchers and hunters buy in to the myth of the “big, bad wolf.”

In fact, conservationists at Oregon Wild, the Sierra Club and the

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation share a common heritage. Back in 1974, elk hunters concerned about the destruction of roadless areas were among Oregon Wild’s founders. Likewise, the Sierra Club has many hunters in its membership, and supports the conservation of healthy game herds and their habitat. Today, the overwhelming majority of hunters support conservation, and wish to see America’s wildlife heritage preserved.

Similarly, not all of the ranchers that manage the 1.3 million cows in Oregon view wolves as evil incarnate. It’s a good bet that those who have looked — with a more cleareyed view of wolves — at the numbers and realized human thieves and weather are far bigger threats to their livelihood than wolves. To date, fewer than 30 cows have been killed by wolves in the 10 years that the species has returned to Oregon.

That, compared to the 55,000 that die every year before they even reach the slaughterhouse.

With wolves, old myths die hard and antiquated ideologies persist.

It’s taken us 50 years to shift our mind-set from extermination to tenuous acceptance, and it will likely take another 50 years for Oregonians from all backgrounds to embrace the return of wolves. In the meantime, we should all remember that wolves are just another animal trying to make their home in Oregon.

U.S. should not fall for sunny report from bank lobbyists

By Simon Johnson Bloomberg News

I

n a report last week, the Financial Services Roundtable boldly stated that the financial-services industry “has made significant changes since the crisis and is safer and stronger than ever.” The message from the lobbying group, which represents 100 of the largest U.S. financial companies, is clear: when it comes to the risks posed by big banks, don’t worry, be happy.

I’m not sure which planet these financial-sector lobbyists are on, but it’s not this one.

The motivation for such optimism is obvious: if the industry can convince the public that large financial firms have sorted themselves out, regulators might back off. The roundtable echoes other industry lobby groups — such as the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association — that argued in a recent congressional hearing that the Volcker rule, which forbids most proprietary trading by banks, isn’t needed.

If the financial sector is indeed fixed, the argument goes, there is no need for anything like the Volcker rule, higher capital requirements or any of the new regulations emerging as part of the Dodd-Frank reforms.

Leading this charge are the remaining Republican presidential candidates. If there’s one issue they all agree on, it is to repeal Dodd-Frank.

The roundtable report illustrates exactly what’s wrong with the industry and raises serious concerns about the people in charge. It should be read carefully and quoted extensively by anyone who seeks to reduce the dangers posed by banks that are perceived as “too big to fail.”

The report seems oblivious to the incentives driving the executives of banks whose assets are large, relative to the U.S. economy. Their interests are not the same as the public’s.

No one running a bank cares sufficiently about the effect their failure would have on the rest of the system.

In candid moments, even people who are sympathetic to the industry con-

cede that bankers don’t internalize the impact of their fragility on the system.

As a result, regulators have long required banks to have a minimum level of equity funding to provide a buffer against losses and to reduce the probability of collapse and systemic crisis. Bank executives and boards, though, prefer to have less equity and more debt; that very combination gives them a higher return on equity during boom periods. For large banks, it tilts the payoff so that executives — and sometimes shareholders — get more upside when all goes well, while taxpayers are handed losses when a bank is unlucky.

Megabanks receive large, opaque and unfair government subsidies.

They can borrow more cheaply, for example, because creditors see them as less risky due to an implicit government guarantee. This support is also dangerous because it encourages excessive risk-taking and the boom-bust-bailout cycle, or what the Bank of England has taken to calling

the “doom loop.”

Most large-bank executives prefer a debt-to-equity ratio — the amount of borrowing relative to the amount of equity — that is too high from a social or taxpayer point of view. This is perhaps the most fundamental fact to understand about banks and the hardest lesson we have learned from more than 200 years of bank failures.

If you don’t understand this point, you should read the work of Anat Admati and her colleagues at Stanford University, as well as the compelling recent book, “Zombie Banks,” by Yalman Onaran (a Bloomberg News correspondent). I am continually amazed by how many senior people in the industry seem to be unaware of these analytic and historic basics.

Or perhaps they are fully aware of the issues, but seek to distract us with sleight of hand? That is my interpretation of the Financial Services Roundtable report.

The group claims that U.S financial-services companies now have “the highest capital level in history.”

But aggregate capital levels mean little. What’s lacking on the balance sheets of large, global banks is lossabsorbing capital — share capital plus retained earnings.

The report fails to mention that Greek banks are on the brink of failure due to credit losses — mostly on government bonds — or that banks in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain are carrying on their books large amounts of sovereign debt that has lost much of its value. The roundtable report cites Federal Reserve stress tests, but they look far too mild relative to recent events and European realities.

The report reads like a sophisticated propaganda campaign by a powerful lobbying group demanding that its members continue to receive large subsidies. The people who run financial institutions definitely know what they are doing. The question is: will we fall for it again?

Continued from C1 One of the bills under consideration would stop the “dual track” that Kaiser was on, in which homeowners are foreclosed upon even as they work on loan modifications in an effort to keep their property.

Another piece of legislation discussed Monday would require lenders to meet with both homeowners and neutral, third-party mediators before they could foreclose.

People from across the state shared similar stories of frustration.

Bend resident Tim Collette garnered national media attention when his home was sold on the Deschutes County courthouse steps in August, the same day his son came back from fighting in Iraq.

Collette drained his retirement and savings accounts, thinking he too was working toward modifying his loan.

“The end of the dual track process is especially of concern to me,” Collette said.

“Banks don’t modify 96 percent of mortgages, but they keep collecting trial modification payments while homeowners move closer and closer to foreclosure. Then, the homeowner is left with no home and no cushion. I’m a prime example of that.”

Paul Cosgrove, a lobbyist who represents several banks, disagreed with many of those who testified.

“When unemployment or other factors cause borrowers to default on their loans, all lenders work with borrowers to find solutions,” Cosgrove said. Requiring lenders and homeowners to meet with mediators would make the process more cumbersome without resolving problems any more effectively than the current voluntary efforts, Cosgrove said. Instead, it would simply increase costs.

But McCarthy said the reforms would be “game changer(s).” Giving a homeowner a face-to-face meet-

Chromium Continued from C1 “It’s like arsenic in apple seeds. There is arsenic in there, but you have to eat a whole mess of apple seeds in order to get up to the toxic levels,” Prazak said.

Rebecca Sutton, the senior scientist who oversaw EWG’s hexavalent chromium study, said her organization has made some headway in its efforts over the last year. The standard EWG has been promoting is a rigorous one, Sutton said, calculated to limit the incidence of cancer as a result of hexavalent chromium to no more than one case per million persons.

In July 2011, California adopted a nonenforceable standard of .06 ppb as a public health goal for hexavalent chromium in drinking water, the first step toward adopting a firm standard.

In the Hawaii Legislature, a bill that would require the state health director to adopt a .06 ppb standard was introduced in late January and is currently being considered in committee.

At the federal level, the EPA is conducting a study of how hexavalent chromium affects health and if it should be regulated separately from other forms of chromium.

Sutton said the California Department of Public Health has moved on to studying what steps water

Tim Collette, of Bend, tells state lawmakers in Salem on Monday about his experience working with a bank on a loan modification. Oregon lawmakers are considering several measures aimed at helping homeowners who are trying to avoid foreclosure.

ing with their lender would make a positive difference, she said. Kaiser encountered a slew of customer service agents, she said, often dealing with lost paperwork, confusion and contradictory advice from banks.

“The single points of contact — aka ‘customer care advocates’ — seem to come and go with no reason,” she said. “And the cycle keeps perpetuating itself.”

Both bills are expected to be moved out of committee and sent to the House for consideration. House Democrats have made it clear that their main priority this session will be to help those facing foreclosure.

Some foreclosure-related bills on the House side have not been given committee hearings, however, owing to differences between the two parties, said Rep. Gene Whisnant, RSunriver. Whisnant chairs the House committee before which those bills would have been heard.

Whisnant has yet to look at the Senate bills, but he said he’s leery of adding regulations to the already complicated foreclosure process.

“I want to help people,” he said. “But just to create more policy is not going to help. It’s not effective. It’s a difference in philosophy ... sometimes the government gets in the way.”

providers would need to take and how much doing so would cost if a firm .06 ppb standard were adopted in the future.

She said there are a number of methods utilities could use to reduce the level of hexavalent chromium in water, and that — in some cases — it could be as simple as identifying the source of the contamination and discontinuing the use of a particular well.

“There’s a few different tools in the tool kit, but figuring out what’s the best solution is a decision each utility would have to make,” she said.

Wick said he believes it would be possible to remove much of the hexavalent chromium found in Avion’s water through membrane filtration, but it could be costly. With such a filtration system, approximately 20 percent of the water pumped out of the ground would have to be discarded, Wick said, leaving the utility with potentially millions of gallons of what could be classified as toxic waste.

“We’re just a small utility in Bend,” Wick said. “I’m sure the giant guys like the city of Los Angeles and other places that had high amounts of chromium have the staff to deal with this kind of stuff. We do not.”

For now, Oregon is not pursuing any regulations on hexavalent chromium. Gail Shibley, Environmental Public Health administrator with the Oregon Health Authority, said her office intends to defer to the federal government on this issue.

VANCOUVER, Wash.

— Think of it as a giant energy bank. Withdraw when you need it; deposit when you don’t.

The concept has been used before, most notably in the natural gas storage facilities that are common across the country. But a group of researchers led by the Richland-based Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Bonneville Power Administration are exploring whether that idea can be put to use in a different form. The goal: storing excess energy in the form of compressed air and water in the Northwest’s expansive, porous underground basalt formations.

Researchers are a long way from proving that it’s doable here, or that it makes financial sense to pull the trigger. But if successful, the concept could have big implications for a Northwest power grid strained

by an ever-growing forest of wind turbines pumping new energy into the system.

“The ultimate objective is to be able to store and shape and shore up renewable energy resources like wind,” said Steve Knudsen, a BPA project manager helping with the study, which began last fall. “You would use it essentially as a load to soak up and store excess wind energy.”

Excess energy has been a problem in the past. Just last year, unusually high flows in the Columbia River Basin put the region’s hydroelectric dams at maximum capacity.

The situation led to a well-publicized dust-up between the BPA and the region’s wind generators when the BPA ordered them to shut down to avoid overloading the grid.

Wind farms objected. A Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decision last December ruled in their favor.

If the concept pans out, BPA and PNNL researchers are

hoping the new form of energy storage helps alleviate similar over-generation events.

“The compression takes that load,” said PNNL laboratory fellow Pete McGrail.

Here’s how it works: Compressed air energy storage plants would take on the extra power produced by wind farms, for example, and use that energy to pump compressed air into a huge bubble underground — keeping it off the rest of the power grid when it’s not needed. When generation is low, the plants would release some of that pressurized air back out of the ground, using it to produce electricity through the same turbines.

The technology has the potential to regenerate more than 75 percent of the energy that was used for storage, McGrail said.

A second method would use a similar concept to pump water into the ground in a sort of enhanced geothermal system, again banking energy for later use. The two ideas are being

Scientists exploring energy in Northwest underground

By Eric Florip

The Vancouver Columbian

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Think of it as a giant energy bank. Withdraw when you need it; deposit when you don’t.

The concept has been used before, most notably in the natural gas storage facilities that are common across the country.

But a group of researchers led by the Richland-based Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Bonneville Power Administration are exploring whether that idea can be put to use in a different form. The goal: storing excess energy in the form of compressed air and water in the Northwest’s expansive, porous underground basalt formations.

Researchers are a long way from proving that it’s doable here, or that it makes financial sense to pull the trigger. But if successful, the concept could have big implications for a Northwest power grid strained by an ever-growing forest of wind turbines pumping new

energy into the system.

“The ultimate objective is to be able to store and shape and shore up renewable energy resources like wind,” said Steve Knudsen, a BPA project manager helping with the study, which began last fall. “You would use it essentially as a load to soak up and store excess wind energy.”

If the concept pans out, BPA and PNNL researchers are hoping the new form of energy storage helps alleviate over-generation events.

“The compression takes that load,” said PNNL laboratory fellow Pete McGrail.

Here’s how it works: Compressed air energy storage plants would take on the extra power produced by wind farms, for example, and use that energy to pump compressed air into a huge bubble underground — keeping it off the rest of the power grid when it’s not needed. When generation is low, the plants would release some of that pressurized

air back out of the ground, using it to produce electricity.

The technology has the potential to regenerate more than 75 percent of the energy that was used for storage, McGrail said.

A second method would use a similar concept to pump water into the ground in a sort of enhanced geothermal system, again banking energy for later use. The two ideas are being studied concurrently. They may even be able to work together under the right conditions, McGrail said.

The concept would need a lot of room to work — researchers are thinking in the neighborhood of 10 million cubic meters of underground storage, McGrail said.

It’s unclear whether wind generators themselves will weigh in on the study. PNNL hasn’t reached out to developers so far. Two major national wind players, Iberdrola Renewables and Horizon Wind Energy, also maintain corporate offices in the Northwest.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS Pac-12 extends Commish’s deal SAN FRANCISCO — The Pac-12 Conference’s board of directors unanimously decided to extend the contract of Commissioner Larry Scott on Monday, giving him the opportunity to push forward with his plans to reshape the league through 2016.

All 12 university presidents who make up the board agreed to the extension.

Since taking over on July 1, 2009, Scott has overseen the conference’s expansion to include Utah and Colorado. He also negotiated a landmark 12year television contract last summer with Fox and ESPN worth about $3 billion and helped create the Pac-12 Network and Pac-12 Digital Network.

“My fellow board members and I are delighted to have reached a long-term agreement with the commissioner to continue his excellent work on behalf of the Pac-12,” said Oregon State President Ed Ray, also the chairman of the league’s board. “We are on the brink of a period of extraordinary accomplishment and excellence throughout the Pac-12 and Larry’s continued leadership and vision for the Conference are critical elements in realizing that potential.”

Scott has put a pair of ideas in motion that revolutionized the league.

He nearly raided the Big 12 to form a 16team super-conference in 2010 — and again last year — until Texas decided to stay, which was enough to convince Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Texas A&M not to move.

Scott still lured Utah from the Mountain West and Colorado from the Big 12, giving him more leverage during TV negotiations with a conference title game to market.

The record TV deal allowed the conference to quadruple its media rights fees and start its own network. Perhaps most importantly, he also pulled rival programs together to share revenue and create a more equal playing field across all league sports.

Contador is banned, but was justice served?

CYCLING COMMENTARY

By John Leicester

The Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — tripping Alberto Contador of his 2010 Tour de France victory on the supposition that he may have eaten a dodgy food supplement is like jailing Al Capone for tax evasion: Yes, Contador’s accusers secured a conviction Monday, but the verdict missed the point.

Was this justice? Strictly speaking, it was. But it didn’t feel that way.

In their defense, the three judges at the Court of Arbitration for Sport — whose ruling on Monday struck another body blow at cycling — faced a devilishly difficult task.

Pretty much the only indisputable fact in this most complex and contentious of cases was that the banned performanceenhancing drug clenbuterol was found in the Spaniard’s urine in infinitesimal

S

quantities at the 2010 Tour. That, in itself, was reason enough to ban him.

But how the drug got there remains anyone’s guess, even after a hearing process that gave new meaning to the term “glacial.”

The legal file alone ran to 4,000 pages.

Contador and his accusers — the World Anti-Doping Agency and cycling’s governing body, the UCI — solicited enough experts, scientists, witnesses, gumshoes and lawyers to fill a bus. No speck of argument was left unturned. There was even discussion — I kid you not — about how big a calf needs to be for a butcher to be able to cut a veal fillet weighing 7 pounds, and how many liters of urine Contador produces in a day (don’t ask).

If all the brainpower and money that both sides poured into this case had gone toward something more useful,

perhaps there would be world peace by now. In economically tough times for ordinary folk, WADA and the UCI might not get much applause for spending a fortune to secure a result so wishy-washy and unsatisfying. But they would have been hammered if they hadn’t pursued this case, too.

All many fans wanted from the CAS was clarity: Did Contador cheat by having a banned, performance-enhancing blood transfusion or was he telling the truth when he said that a veal fillet he ate at the Tour must have been contaminated by clenbuterol, causing him to test positive for the drug?

Cascade Swim Academy head coach Ann Brewer has coached swimmers of all ages in California, Texas, Ohio and Oregon.

ith the Cascade Swim Academy, Ann Brewer has a fledgling competitive youth swim team on her hands almost by accident.

“It’s pretty funny to just kind of look back and just see how it all evolved,” says the 40-year-old Bend woman. “But if you asked

me this time last year, this was not even in my future scope.”

Given Brewer’s background, though, perhaps it shouldn’t be such a surprise that she would eventually head up a squad such as the academy, which currently is made up of about 20 swimmers in grades six through 12. Brewer grew up swimming in Massachusetts, participating in what she says was a technically based program — one that stressed stroke mechanics over yardage.

NFL: SUPER BOWL XLVI

After Giants’ surreal TD, debates on the strategy

Thunder beat Blazers in OT LaMarcus Aldridge’s 39 points are not enough as Portland falls to Oklahoma City, D3

INDIANAPOLIS — On a night that featured a variety of surprising moments — including a safety, several critical dropped passes and Tom Coughlin, the 65-year-old New York Giants coach, embracing rapper Flavor Flav in celebration — the most bizarre moment Sunday surely was Super Bowl XLVI’s final touchdown.

The setup seemed standard enough.

The Giants were trailing by two points, just more than a minute remained, and the Giants had the ball on the New England Patriots’ 6-yard line. Eli Manning took the snap, handed the ball to Ahmad Bradshaw, and as Bradshaw began his surge, the game suddenly

turned on its head.

It was like opposite day. The Patriots defenders, trained their entire lives to try to push and claw and fight to bring down the ball carrier, stood up and opened a double-wide hole for Bradshaw to reach the end zone.

Bradshaw, trained his entire life to sprint into the end zone whenever he could, pulled up just short of the goal line and tried to fall down.

Even the players and coaches on the Giants’ sideline, who had spent their entire lives cheering when their team scored, did not know what to do when Bradshaw failed to slam on his brakes in time and fell, almost dejectedly, into the end zone for a touchdown.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS Pac-12 extends commish’s deal SAN FRANCISCO — The Pac-12 Conference’s board of directors unanimously decided to extend the contract of Commissioner Larry Scott on Monday, giving him the opportunity to push forward with his plans to reshape the league through 2016.

All 12 university presidents who make up the board agreed to the extension.

Since taking over on July 1, 2009, Scott has overseen the conference’s expansion to include Utah and Colorado. He also negotiated a landmark 12year television contract last summer with Fox and ESPN worth about $3 billion and helped create the Pac-12 Network and Pac-12 Digital Network.

“My fellow board members and I are delighted to have reached a long-term agreement with the commissioner to continue his excellent work on behalf of the Pac-12,” said Oregon State President Ed Ray, also the chairman of the league’s board. “We are on the brink of a period of extraordinary accomplishment and excellence throughout the Pac-12 and Larry’s continued leadership and vision for the Conference are critical elements in realizing that potential.”

Scott has put a pair of ideas in motion that revolutionized the league.

He nearly raided the Big 12 to form a 16team super-conference in 2010 — and again last year — until Texas decided to stay, which was enough to convince Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Texas A&M not to move.

Scott still lured Utah from the Mountain West and Colorado from the Big 12, giving him more leverage during TV negotiations with a conference title game to market.

The record TV deal allowed the conference to quadruple its media rights fees and start its own network. Perhaps most importantly, he also pulled rival programs together to share revenue and create a more equal playing field across all league sports.

Contador is banned, but was justice served?

CYCLING COMMENTARY

By John Leicester

The Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — tripping Alberto Contador of his 2010 Tour de France victory on the supposition that he may have eaten a dodgy food supplement is like jailing Al Capone for tax evasion: Yes, Contador’s accusers secured a conviction Monday, but the verdict missed the point.

Was this justice? Strictly speaking, it was. But it didn’t feel that way.

In their defense, the three judges at the Court of Arbitration for Sport — whose ruling on Monday struck another body blow at cycling — faced a devilishly difficult task.

Pretty much the only indisputable fact in this most complex and contentious of cases was that the banned performanceenhancing drug clenbuterol was found in the Spaniard’s urine in infinitesimal

S

quantities at the 2010 Tour. That, in itself, was reason enough to ban him.

But how the drug got there remains anyone’s guess, even after a hearing process that gave new meaning to the term “glacial.”

The legal file alone ran to 4,000 pages.

Contador and his accusers — the World Anti-Doping Agency and cycling’s governing body, the UCI — solicited enough experts, scientists, witnesses, gumshoes and lawyers to fill a bus. No speck of argument was left unturned. There was even discussion — I kid you not — about how big a calf needs to be for a butcher to be able to cut a veal fillet weighing 7 pounds, and how many liters of urine Contador produces in a day (don’t ask).

If all the brainpower and money that both sides poured into this case had gone toward something more useful,

perhaps there would be world peace by now. In economically tough times for ordinary folk, WADA and the UCI might not get much applause for spending a fortune to secure a result so wishy-washy and unsatisfying. But they would have been hammered if they hadn’t pursued this case, too.

All many fans wanted from the CAS was clarity: Did Contador cheat by having a banned, performance-enhancing blood transfusion or was he telling the truth when he said that a veal fillet he ate at the Tour must have been contaminated by clenbuterol, causing him to test positive for the drug?

S'(&") %! B&%$* Prep basketball • Central Christian teams fall: The Central Christian boys and girls basketball teams fell in Class 1A Big Sky League contests against Sherman in Moro on Monday night. The boys (1-16 overall, 0-12 Big Sky) lost 69-26.

Coughling Wang scored seven points to lead the Tigers. The girls (4-15 overall, 1-11 Big Sky) lost 52-15. Desiree Duke scored five points to lead Central Christian. Both teams host Horizon Christian today.

Football • Haley reported to be Steelers’ next offensive coordinator: The Steelers will hire former Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley to be their offensive coordinator, according to an ESPN report. The move, first reported by 610 AM in Kansas City, has not yet been announced. Haley will replace Bruce Arians, now with the Indianapolis Colts. The 45-year-old Haley, fired by Kansas City on Dec. 13, went 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title.

• Patriots say McDaniels is offensive coordinator: New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has confirmed that Josh McDaniels will be the team’s offensive coordinator next season. McDaniels was brought in during the playoffs to serve as an “offensive assistant.” He was widely seen as the heir to offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, who had been hired to replace Joe Paterno at Penn State. But it wasn’t official until Belichick confirmed the move on Monday, a day after the Patriots lost 21-17 to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

• Raiders hire Stanford’s Tarver to lead defense: The Oakland Raiders didn’t look far to find a defensive coordinator.

The Raiders on Monday hired Stanford’s Jason Tarver, who helped shape one of the Pac-12’s top defenses while serving as co-defensive coordinator and overseeing the linebackers under rookie head coach David Shaw last season. Tarver had spent the previous decade as a 49ers

assistant, including the final six seasons (2005-2010) coaching the outside linebackers. After the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh, Tarver went back to the college ranks to team with co-defensive coordinator Derek Mason at Stanford.

Baseball • Seattle adds relievers Shawn Camp, Hong-Chih Kuo: The Mariners have agreed to a $750,000, one-year contract with Shawn Camp and a $500,000, one-year deal with Hong-Chih Kuo in an attempt to add bullpen depth. Kuo was an All-Star in 2010 with the Dodgers but struggled last season with a back problem early in the season and missed a month with anxiety disorder. During his standout 2010 season, Kuo was 3-2 with 12 saves in 13 chances and a 1.20 ERA. Camp led Toronto with 67 appearances last year and was 6-3 with a 4.21 ERA. The right-hander has appeared in 432 games, all in relief, with Kansas City, Tampa Bay and Toronto.

• Rockies acquire Guthrie from Orioles: The Colorado Rockies acquired veteran righthander Jeremy Guthrie from the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, a move that bolsters their young rotation. In exchange, the Rockies send reliever Matt Lindstrom and right-hander Jason Hammel to the Orioles. Guthrie, the Orioles’ opening day starter three of the past four seasons, lost 17 games last season, the most in the American League, and finished with a 4.33 ERA.

Hockey • Sidney Crosby practices with Penguins: Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby practiced Monday but said he is no closer to returning from a concussion and neck injury that have sidelined him for most of the season. Coach Dan Bylsma felt with Jordan Staal and Simon Despres ready to resume skating after their injuries, it was better to include Crosby in the main practice rather than have him skate on his own. Crosby moved with plenty of energy and took part in every drill.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP Coyotes’ victory brings losing streak to Red Wings to an end No. 4 Missouri holds off Oklahoma The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Phoenix Coyotes needed a boost after an exhausting first half of the season.

Beating San Jose was a big step. Following that with a win over Detroit, another nemesis, could send them into a sprint toward the playoffs again.

Mike Smith stopped 30 shots, Martin Hanzal scored twice and the Coyotes ended a seven-game losing streak to the Red Wings with a 3-1 victory Monday night.

“They’re two good teams in the upper echelon of the conference and when you’re taking points away from them, you’re getting points that other teams aren’t going to

NHL ROUNDUP get,” Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. “You look at those as very valuable points.”

After an up-and-down first half of the season, Phoenix opened the second half with a loss to Anaheim, thanks in part to shaky goaltending by Smith.

Needing to make up ground fast, the Coyotes regrouped to beat the Pacific Division-leading Sharks 5-3. They backed it up with a solid performance against Detroit, getting a short-handed goal from Boyd Gordon in the first period and one on a power play by Hanzal in the second.

Detroit pulled within one

on Johan Franzen’s 20th goal late in the second period and picked up the pressure in the third, creating numerous scoring opportunities.

Also on Monday: Maple Leafs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Oilers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 TORONTO — Phil Kessel scored twice and Mikhail Grabovski assisted on Toronto’s first two goals to lead the surging Maple Leafs past Edmonton.

Ducks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Flames . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Niklas Hagman scored the deciding goal in the eighth round of a shootout and Anaheim beat Calgary for its 14th straight home victory over the Flames.

The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — Sandwiched between an emotionally charged victory against archrival Kansas and a top 10 showdown with first place on the line, No. 4 Missouri faced a test of its collective focus.

The Tigers got a passing grade — barely.

Marcus Denmon scored 25 points, Ricardo Ratliffe added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Missouri claimed first place in the Big 12 by edging Oklahoma 71-68 on Monday night.

“We understand that this game was just as important as the last one,” Denmon said.

“Pretty much, we have a veteran group and we just wanted to make sure everybody came out and understood how important this game would be for us to play after a big win like the one at home against Kansas.”

Coach Frank Haith required his players to report to a hotel by 2 a.m. after their late-night victory against the then-No. 8 Jayhawks, trying to temper the celebration and get a head

start on a road game less than 48 hours later against an opponent they had beaten by 38 points earlier this season.

In other games on Monday: No. 18 Marquette . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .89 DePaul . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .76 ROSEMONT, Ill. — Darius Johnson-Odom scored 23 points and Jamil Wilson added 18 points and nine rebounds to lead Marquette to a victory over DePaul. Trailing 41-29, Johnson-Odom scored nine points during an 11-2 run by the Golden Eagles (20-5, 9-3 Big East) to close the first half.

No. 24 Louisville. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .80 Connecticut. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .59 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Gorgui Dieng returned from a sprained right ankle to score 15 points and freshman Chane Behanan added 12 rebounds as Louisville won its fifth straight. Chris Smith scored 16 points for the Cardinals (19-5, 7-4 Big East), while Kyle Kuric added 10 and Peyton Siva had nine assists.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, left, goes to the basket against Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge during the first half of Monday night’s game in Portland.

Thunder hand Blazers rare loss at home The Associated Press PORTLAND — A satisfying victory for Oklahoma City was a head-scratcher for Portland.

Kevin Durant had 33 points, including a dunk with 2.9 seconds left in overtime, and the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 111-107 on Monday night.

But the focus of the game fell on a goaltending call on Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge with 6 seconds left in regulation that tied the game at 103 and would send it into overtime.

The Rose Garden Crowd wailed when the replay was shown on the video scoreboard. Coach Nate McMillan rushed to the nearest official to complain. Aldridge, who finished with a season-high 39 points, just looked stunned.

“I said, ‘Y’all should go look at it,’ ” Aldridge said.

“And the ref said, ‘Nope.’ ” And that was that.

Russell Westbrook added 28 points and 11 rebounds for the Thunder, who upped their NBAbest record to 19-5 (.792).

Oklahoma City outscored the deflated Blazers 8-4 in overtime to clinch it.

Westbrook hit a jumper and James Harden added a fast-break dunk to give the Thunder a 107-103 lead.

Jamal Crawford’s pull-up jumper narrowed it to 109107 for the Blazers, but Durant dunked with 2.9 seconds left to put it away.

“It was a tough game,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “It could have gone either way. I don’t think one call is a difference-maker.”

It was just the second loss for the Blazers (14-11) at the Rose Garden.

“It’s tough. We definitely played well enough to win this game,” Aldridge said.

“We had some tough calls and then we had some bad bounces late in the game.

We have to learn from it.”

The Blazers trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half, but Nicolas Batum hit a three-pointer that tied it at 63 with 6:52 left.

Aldridge added a jumper to put Portland ahead.

Aldridge hit a turnaround jumper with 3:37 to go to make it 99-95 for the Blazers. After a pair of free throws, Durant made a three-pointer to close to 101-98. Westbrook made free throws to tie it for Oklahoma City, and then Crawford’s jumper with 55.9 seconds left pulled the Blazers back ahead.

Portland clung to the narrow lead when Aldridge was called for goaltending on Durant’s layup.

Continued from D1 The judges ruled that both scenarios were “possible” but also “equally unlikely.”

Instead, they took a third route: Contador might have eaten a food supplement that might have been contaminated with clenbuterol.

This, they said, was a “more likely” explanation for his positive test. Read that again carefully. They weren’t saying that it was the likely explanation, only that it was less unlikely than the other two “very unlikely” scenarios.

In other words, the judges took a guess.

Which doesn’t mean, necessarily, they made the wrong decision. Fans who suspect Contador is a dope cheat with a bogus excuse about veal will simply be pleased that he’s banned until August and stripped of his 2010 title. For them, the ends will justify the means. If Contador did blood dope, then justice will have been served.

Blood doping with transfusions has been — some would say it still is — a scourge in cycling because it supercharges performance and endurance but also cannot be proved using conventional urine tests.

Months of forensic science were devoted to trying to demonstrate that Contador’s blood readings at the 2010 Tour were suspect. If CAS had agreed with WADA’s theory that he might have had a blood transfusion, that would have sent a powerful warning to dopers who are getting away with it and would have made the expense of this case easier to justify.

But pointing the finger at a supplement isn’t going to deter cheats.

Plus, with all the “ifs,” “buts” and “maybes” in this case, Contador’s two-year ban seemed a bit harsh. It’s by the book, of course. Athletes are respon-

Strategy Continued from D1 The scene was surreal; the Giants had just taken, with the extra-point kick, a 21-17 lead in the Super Bowl and no one was celebrating. Bradshaw did not even know whether to spike the ball.

“It was a little strange,” offensive lineman Kevin Boothe said.

“It was definitely weird,” running back Brandon Jacobs said.

“It wasn’t exactly what we were looking for,” tight end Bear Pascoe said. “But it worked out great.”

The reason for the incongruous sequence was simple: The Giants were concerned about leaving the Patriots, who had quarterback Tom Brady and one timeout, too much time to score a decisive touchdown. That is why Manning screamed, “Don’t score! Don’t score!” as soon as he saw the Patriots’ defenders standing up instead of rushing.

His hope, he said Monday, was that Bradshaw would stop at the 1-yard line and wait until he was tackled, allowing more time to run off the clock and forcing the Patriots to use their final timeout.

Still, Manning acknowledged how difficult it must be for a player — on perhaps the biggest play of his career, no less — to suddenly do the exact opposite of what he has always done.

“I know it’s tough for a running back,” Manning said.

“They see a big hole right there going for a touchdown. I think something almost had to pop into his head like: Something was up. ‘This is a little too good to be true.’ ” In his postgame news conference, New England coach Bill Belichick said that his rationale for letting the Giants score was based on how short a potential game-winning field-goal attempt would have been. With the ball inside the 10-yard line, Belichick said, it is “a 90 percent field-goal conversion” rate for NFL teams.

Not all of the Patriots’ players seemed to agree with the call, however. Boothe said that after the play was over he asked New England defensive tackle Vince Wilfork if the Patriots had purposely laid back, and Wilfork nodded ruefully.

Linebacker Brandon Spikes told reporters after the game that it “killed” him to let the Giants score, saying, “When the call came in to let them score, I kind of was like, ‘What?’ ”

sible for what goes into their bodies. They’ve been warned many times about the risks of taking supplements. Even the tiniest amount of clenbuterol can trigger a ban. From the moment lab technicians in Germany found traces of the drug in his urine samples, it was always going to be hard for Contador to beat the rap. Athletes with far less money than he has to throw at his defense would have stood even less of a chance in the circumstances.

One bright spot in the CAS verdict is that athletes who eat meat in Europe shouldn’t overly worry that they might be contaminated and test positive inadvertently for clenbuterol, as happened to some competing in China and Mexico. The judges ruled that although the possibility of meat being contaminated in the European Union “cannot entirely be ruled out,” the probability is “very low.” With the London Olympics just six months away, that means athletes need not become vegetarian — in Europe, at least — to be completely safe.

Still, that doesn’t tell us what happened with Contador.

Cycling’s biggest star since the retirement of seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong now has an asterisk next to his name. But it’s hard to draw any solid and unbiased conclusions about what that means. To his fans, he will be the innocent victim of a system that is tough because it puts the burden on athletes to prove how a drug got into their bodies. But those who have long suspected that Contador is just another cheating cyclist telling yet another lie will feel he had this coming and won’t care how CAS got there.

One can only hope CAS got this right, that it hit on the truth without saying so or perhaps even meaning to. But short of a belated confession from Contador, we’ll never be sure that it did.

Spikes added, “It definitely was tough.”

Looking back a day later, the Giants’ views on the play, and on the concept overall, seemed to vary. Coughlin said he did not instruct Bradshaw to stop short before the play, preferring to take the guaranteed points and not play for a last-second game-winning field goal when something — a bad snap, a shanked kick — could go wrong.

Jerald Ingram, the Giants’ running-backs coach, said Bradshaw did the right thing, although he had hoped he would linger on the 1-yard line as long as possible and fall into the end zone only when the Patriots went to tackle him.

“We rehearse a lot of situations, and he understood the clock,” Ingram said. “He just had too much momentum.”

One significant factor that made taking the touchdown more attractive was that it gave the Giants a four-point lead, meaning the Patriots would need to score a touchdown — as opposed to just kicking a field goal — to win the game.

That was why Jacobs was not concerned. The Giants scored with 57 seconds remaining, and Jacobs said that while quarterbacks like Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers or New Orleans’ Drew Brees had the firepower to go the length of the field that quickly, he did not think Brady and the Patriots could do it.

They would need a lot more than 57 seconds to win the game, Jacobs said, “so I wasn’t worried about it.”

The play was just the latest example of an age-old debate among football players, coaches and fans over what strategy is best in those endgame situations. In Super Bowl XXXII, the Packers allowed the Denver Broncos to score with just under two minutes remaining, hoping it would give them time to rally. As with the Patriots on Sunday, however, their plan did not work.

Former Giants linebacker Harry Carson said Monday that he recalled discussing situations just like that one with his teammates during the 1980s. Carson said that the general consensus among players then was that the strategy was a poor one and that he and his teammates found it distasteful.

“On some level, I understand it,” he said. “But it just seems wrong. It goes against everything that we are taught to do as a player.”

THE BULLETIN • TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012

Strokes Continued from D1 As an adult, she has worked with swimmers of all ages in coaching stints with various programs in California, Texas and Ohio. (She moved around a lot because her husband, a doctor, was in the Air Force prior to the family’s move to Bend in 2010.) Her children Madison, 17, and Tommy, 15, currently are standout swimmers with the Summit High School team.

The Cascade Swim Academy’s origins stem from a novice team operating out of the Athletic Club of Bend, a team that Brewer’s youngest child, Sarah, now 12, joined some time back and that Brewer herself now coaches. Sarah had been swimming for the long-established Bend Swim Club, a competitive age-group program, but she also had other interests. The ACB team is for swimmers like Sarah: For boys and girls ages 5 to 18, the ACB novice team has no practice requirements and is noncompetitive, fitness-oriented, and not as demanding on kids’ time.

“She still enjoyed swimming,” Ann Brewer says of her youngest. “She just didn’t want to go every day.”

Before last spring, the ACB team was organized into practice groups for swimmers of elementary school and middle school ages.

After watching the area’s high school district championship meet a year ago at Bend’s Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, Brewer pitched to Athletic Club of Bend aquatic director Rob Higley that the ACB team add a high school group as well, for kids who wanted to swim but did not want to commit to a rigorous club program.

As Brewer recalls: “I said, ‘I want it to be very technically based, so that when they’re not swimming for high school, this way we’ll get them ready for high school season. We’ll keep them in shape.

We’ll get their balance all set, teach them how to swim right, so when high school season starts, it can just take off and go.”

The high school group started as an

COM M U N I T Y SP ORTS

experimental tryout last April and has continued ever since.

And from it, the academy was formed.

This past summer, Brewer was taking Madison and Tommy to some club meets to compete as unattached swimmers.

Some of the other ACB swimmers got wind and started asking to come along.

“And so three kids turned into four, turned into seven,” Brewer observes of the competitive-level swimmers. “Now we’re at 20.”

In the fall, as the ACB team (which Brewer is also still coaching) would be moving from the facility’s six-lane, 25yard outdoor pool back into its smaller indoor pool, Brewer recognized it was time to find some space for her competitive swimmers.

“We have 20 kids,” Brewer says of those swimmers. “It’s time to call ourselves a team.”

As in, the Cascade Swim Academy.

Brewer was able to secure two days a week at the athletic club Mavericks at Sunriver and says she would like to get the academy practicing up to six days per week so that the competitive swimmers can shift out of the ACB for the rest of their practices, opening more spots there for noncompetitive swimmers. As of late January, Brewer had submitted paperwork for the academy to obtain nonprofit status and was in the process of completing the paperwork required of USA Swimming, the sport’s national governing body, to obtain sanctioning.

The academy’s team has decided on a nickname: the Current. Brewer envisions the age-group team being just one branch of the academy, along with others such as clinics and private lessons. Her plans include keeping the academy team’s swimmer-to-coach ratio low and remaining swimmer- and technique-oriented.

“I want the kids to come to practice and walk away learning something each day,” Brewer says.

In fact, that attention to instruction — which Brewer can do with a small group — and her training methods and philosophy are what differentiate her academy

from other similar programs. Academy swimmers do not swim as many yards as they might in other, more competition-focused club programs. And Brewer does a lot of teaching, breaking down technique and instructing on training methods.

“It’s not all about just going back and forth, trying as hard as you can and then racing,” Brewer says of swimming.

“There’s just so much more to the sport.”

And as with the ACB, the environment with the academy is still low key. When swimmers have questions, Brewer says, they stop at the wall and ask them. And the training sets are focused, she notes, to give the swimmers what they need because they generally are kids with interests outside of swimming.

The approach seems to be working for Brooke Walsh, 18, a senior at Summit.

Brewer has helped Walsh overhaul her swimming technique after shoulder injuries curtailed her ability to swim for a time.

“Every day I come in and she says something positive to me,” Walsh says.

“It just raises your confidence.”

Walsh, who had to spend some time rehabilitating her shoulders, says that they feel fine now unless she lapses into incorrect technique. This weekend, she will attempt to qualify for her fourth consecutive high school state meet.

Dave Howe’s daughter Skyler, 14, will also be competing for Summit at the district meet. As he points out, “There’s a million different coaches and a million different ways to coach kids, and you just have to find the right combination.”

For Skyler, that seems to be a pairing with Brewer, with whom Howe says Skyler has clicked.

“Ann’s teaching them to coach themselves, to feel what they could do better,” Howe says of his observations of Brewer’s instructional methods. “That’s really an amazing thing for some of these kids to actually realize, ‘Oh yeah, I could do better, and I know exactly how.’”

ADOPT ME Young Dominoe is ready to play Meet Dominoe, an Australian cattle dog mix. She is about 6 months old and may grow to be a large dog.

She has lots of energy and loves to play and run. Dominoe would make a good family dog; she gets along with most other dogs.

If you would like to visit Dominoe, or any other pet available for adoption at the Humane Society of the Ochocos, contact the shelter at 541-447-7178 or view animals at www .humanesociety ochocos.com.

oday’s food world is entirely different from the one Ruth Reichl grew up knowing.

Take strawberries.

Reichl — former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, best-selling author, restaurant critic and judge on the TV show “Top Chef Masters” — suggests we compare a bland, fleshy strawberry purchased at the grocery store with a fragrant, red-all-the-waythrough strawberry purchased at a farmers market. The taste, aroma, texture — everything is different.

Then, she says “imagine a world where you can’t compare them because farmers markets don’t exist.”

“Now expand that to just about everything you can imagine,” said Reichl. “That’s the world I grew up in.”

Every chicken was tasteless, there was almost no locally made cheese and bread

was all Wonder Bread, she said. Reichl, who grew up in New York City in the 1950s and ’60s, says the difference between then and now is remarkable. Now people who want to can seek out local, organically grown produce, eggs from a nearby farm or tasty bread from a specialty bakery.

Reichl believes we will never go back to such a bland world as the one she grew up in. “The change has been so enormous and in some ways so fast.”

Reichl will discuss her thoughts about today’s food culture and her varied, rich experiences in the culinary world during a presentation at Bend High School on Feb. 15 called “American Food Now: New Trends in Eating and What They Tell Us About Our Society” (see “If you go”). Reichl’s visit, which is part of the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program from the Central Oregon Community College Foundation, is also a fundraiser to help purchase equipment for the new facility at the Cascades Culinary Institute.

Ruth Reichl, author, TV show judge and more will talk about today’s food culture at COCC on Feb. 15.

Dog and cat lovers, consider these facts: There are 160 million pet dogs and cats in the United States, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Each day, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born, adding to that number, according to The Humane Society of the United States.

And each year, 6 to 8 million unwanted dogs and cats — about 45 percent of all of those arriving in this country’s animal shelters — are euthanized because no homes can be found for them, according to the Doris Day Animal League.

The humane societies in Redmond and Bend do a better job placing dogs and cats in new homes than the na-

tional average with help from what, at first glance, may seem unlikely allies: Central Oregon’s largest pet stores.

“We take in about 2,100 animals a year, about 1,200 dogs and 900 cats,” said Chris Bauersfeld, director of the Redmond Humane Society. “And we are able to place 98 percent of the dogs and 96 percent of the cats.”

For workers on graveyard shift, daytime is bedtime Dear Abby: I just read the letter from a fellow frustrated night shifter, “Working a 40Hour Week at Age 73” (Dec. 20). I have worked 12-hour shifts for many years to accommodate our family life. It is easier for me to be home in the morning to get the kids to school and be home when they get off the bus in the afternoon. I have the early evening free to get them to their activities, then go to work later.

I thoroughly agree that the rest of the world does not understand! I’ve had the strangest requests from people because I’m home during the day. My solution has been to turn off our home phone and sleep with my cellphone on (in case one of the kids gets sick at school or some other dire emergency). This year I made a laminated sign for my front door, asking for peace and quiet. It says, “Please do not ring my doorbell. Night-shift worker sleeping at this time.”

— Sleepless in Wisconsin Dear Sleepless: Thanks for your letter. Your fellow night shifters were in complete agreement with you.

My readers comment: Dear Abby: There’s nothing unusual about “Working’s” problem. I worked the graveyard shift for years at different jobs in different states, and it was exactly the same. In my case it was usually my mother, not my husband, who kept waking me up.

Even worse, it wasn’t unusual for bosses to call and wake me.

What surprised me was the number of people who think that sleep is optional rather than necessary. They seemed to think that they sleep at night because there’s nothing else to do.

— Laura in Pollok, Texas Dear Abby: Many people don’t understand night workers’ schedules. Relatives would announce that they were coming to visit during my working weekends despite the fact that I’d spe-

cifically explained my schedule.

My husband would snipe at me in underhanded ways. When I finally confronted him, he admitted that he “subconsciously” felt that someone sleeping during the day was lazy.

Working nights is tough.

The Harvard Nurses’ Health Study has discovered that night workers get less rest even if they get a good day’s sleep, that we make less melatonin and we die younger.

— R.N. in Connecticut Dear Abby: I sympathize with “Working.” I also work a graveyard shift so I can be home with our newborn and not have to put him in day care eight hours a day. It’s hard for people to understand that even though it’s daytime for them, it’s my night! I found myself running errands, marketing, etc., because I felt guilty being at home all day and “doing nothing.” It took its toll on me until I got to the point where I could barely function.

I finally had to get over my issues about being home during the day and realize that I was putting in a 40-hour week just like anyone else. Since I didn’t expect to do my chores at 3 a.m., I would no longer let anyone expect it of me. I still sleep in shifts to keep my son’s time at day care to a minimum, but when I sleep, I don’t let anyone interrupt. The world is going to have to wait until I get up.

Please tell “Working” not to let anyone make her feel guilty. Everyone needs sleep, and she shouldn’t have to justify it to anyone.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar The Full Moon on your birthday signals a very lively year with a lot of interpersonal interaction. If you are single and you can stay light and easy, you’ll discover how fun dating can be. A loved one who is a foreigner or at a distance might be distancing him- or herself even more.

If you care, rope this person in! If you are attached, more often than not you will see that your sweetie offers a whole different perspective. Learn to understand his or her logic. Travel and accepting different styles might not come easily for you. Give these areas of your life a break. LEO can push your buttons!

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 Just as you believed you finally got past a problem, you come to a realization — you might not have cleared up the issue. Confusion surrounds the best of intentions.

Push could come to shove if you are too confrontational. Tonight: Do your thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You hear good news and want to share it. Use care when speaking to others. Some people cannot help but be jealous. Stay on top of your demands. Pressure builds if you don’t take care of yourself. Tonight: Stay close to home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You are juggling more than your fair share of work and other issues. You could be very tired and drawn from dealing with a child or loved one. Don’t let someone else interfere with your plans, though you’ll have to do some juggling.

Tonight: Fun and games.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by what another person shares. It could cause a problem, as you know too much and it might affect your attitude. Stay on top of a changeable situation. Juggle your way through an increasingly tense matter.

Tonight: Treat time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH If you can accept some dissent around you, you should fare well, because ultimately your insights will point to the correct direction. You wonder what is happening behind the scenes with someone who withholds a lot.

Only you can figure it out for sure.

Listen to a child or someone who

TODAY DEAR ABBY

is conflicted, and help this person understand what is going on within him or her. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Remain sensitive to your inner thought process. How you handle a situation and your choices point to the correct solution. Don’t depend on anyone else. Count on you, and only you. Let laughter happen. Tonight: Play it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH No one is harder on you than you are on yourself. You wonder why you treat yourself as you do and what might be the appropriate solution. A friend or several people in a meeting try to nudge you forward. Still, ultimately it is your call. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could feel pushed to the max. You wonder how to take some of the pressure off yourself.

You might be surprised by how easy it is to enlist people’s help. Do it more often, and smile more often!

Tonight: In the limelight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You naturally respond to the innate ups and downs of the day. You could be asking a lot of questions. But somehow you are able to handle what few can. A friendship causes a problem when you least expect it. It could take a while to resolve the issue. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Juggling a financial matter — as you well know — could backfire. You handle funds better than most. Why challenge your wisdom and perhaps luck? Others observe your reactions with care.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Clearly you want what you want. The issue remains what to do about a situation that is close to your heart and that could be somewhat provocative. Your sign is well known for its unpredictability.

You prove it once more! Tonight: Toss yourself into living.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You have a personal matter on your mind that takes you away from others. You could think that something is off or missing in a key day-to-day matter. Don’t react; simply figure it out. A partner expresses his or her dismay at not having you more present. Tonight: Easy works. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Show warms hearts with freeze-dried pets “American Stuffers” 10 p.m. Thursdays, Animal Planet

By Penelope Green

ROMANCE, Ark. — The most wholesome reality show on TV right now might be “American Stuffers,” an Animal Planet production that documents the growing pains of a family of taxidermists whose specialty is freeze-drying pets.

Daniel and LaDawn Ross are raising three energetic sons, Hunter, 14, Mason, 12, and Christian, 10, and acting in loco parentis to Ross’ three young employees at Xtreme Taxidermy, certainly one of the odder home-based businesses.

It helps the clean factor that the Rosses are Mormons, which means they don’t swear or drink anything stronger than Mountain Dew, and so the show unfolds unattended by the usual censor’s beeps.

Also, while taxidermy is merely fascinating, pet preservation, as the practice of memorializing pets by freeze-drying them is more delicately described, makes for truly riveting television. What a narrative: There are the grieving owners, invariably in tears; the stricken animal (frozen, not in the rictus of death, but in actuality, as Ross asks that deceased pets be kept chilled until they are brought to him); and the epic life story of each pet (like Chatters, the 40-pound raccoon, who gnawed cabinetry and snuggled in bed, or Sam, the bad-tempered Chihuahua, who ate toenail clippings).

Then, months later, because freeze drying takes time (up to six months for large animals like dogs, though the show telescopes that process into minutes), there is the spectacular reveal, as Ross, a former auto body specialist, presents his deft handiwork: the pet, revivified. (Well, almost.)

“Freeze-drying love,” as the show’s teaser promises. “One pet at a time.”

And Ross, who projects a dimpled charisma, displays real artistry. In the first episode, as he works on Turd, the

beloved canine companion of Teach, a soulful mustachioed fellow, touching up the dog’s buff fur and grizzled muzzle with spray paint, Dixie, an intern, observes, “Just like a spray tan.”

Ross’ work is mostly well received (a gush of tears, hugs all around), though when Teach arrives to pick up Turd, there is a moment of awkwardness.

“I thought her eyes were going to be closed,” says Teach, who bursts into tears. Still, he drives off happily with Turd strapped to the back of his motorcycle.

While viewers ponder the depths of the human heart, Dixie suggests that her boss is the van Gogh of animals.

The Ross house, white clapboard with a green steel roof, sits on a hill above state Highway 5, not quite an hour’s drive north of Little Rock. Romance, an unincorporated community of over 1,700, enjoys a flutter of publicity every Valentine’s Day, when lovers and the affianced make pilgrimages to its tiny post office (there’s nothing like a wedding invitation with that postmark).

Xtreme Taxidermy is in an outbuilding in the front yard.

“Bring us your dead,” a sign read temptingly. In a pen, a gray wolf paced, her gait fluid and lovely (she’ll eat the chickens if she’s not watched, Daniel Ross said).

Adoption Continued from E1 But being a “high save” shelter also means the Redmond facility is often full, placing animals on a waiting list. The list is usually cleared within two weeks, she said.

The Humane Society of Central Oregon in Bend is an “open admission” shelter, which means no matter what the circumstances, it will always accept a stray, an animal surrendered by its owner or an aged or infirm pet brought in by someone looking for a humane end to the animal’s life, said Lynne Ouchida, HSCO community outreach manager.

In fiscal 2011, HSCO placed 85 percent of the 2,000 dogs and 1,200 cats it received, including 238 from the Redmond, Prineville and Madras areas, Ouchida said.

Euthanasia, the last resort, is reserved for diseased animals with dark futures — cats with leukemia or FIV (feline AIDS), for example, those at the end of their lives or those with unmanageable behavior, according to Bauersfeld and Ouchida.

Neither of the area’s two largest pet stores — Petco and PetSmart of Bend — sells cats or dogs, a long-standing policy of both companies.

“While cats and dogs are the most popular pets in the country, they are also the most relinquished pets,” said Petco spokesperson Lisa Epstein.

“The largest numbers of available adoptable animals are cats and dogs, so we promote ‘Think Adoption First.’”

Petco’s policy applies to all pets and the Petco Foundation works with 7,000 local shelters and pet rescue organizations across the country to help find homes for these animals, Epstein said.

Petco’s local adoption partners include HSCO, the Redmond Humane Society and Bend’s Cat Rescue, Adoption and Foster Team.

Petco and PetSmart sponsor and promote monthly adoption events at their stores, usually featuring cats, often the most difficult pets to place, according to HSCO statistics.

Hundreds of cats and dogs have been placed over the years

A tiny Pomeranian bounced expectantly, and a hubcap size tortoise, a Christmas present to LaDawn Ross from her husband, lumbered with surprising speed over the rutted earth. There were hanks of fur and hide everywhere, and skulls were drying on the storm cellar (Romance is in tornado country).

The Rosses’ oldest son, Hunter, lay flat on the ground, squinting into the sight of a Remington .243 rifle, lining up a paper target 100 or so yards away.

Hunter, who is well named, is irritated when his brothers, no slouches in the hunting department, don’t share his unflagging energy for the sport.

His room is painstakingly decorated with animal parts, trophies and rifles, and swagged with a hunter’s camouflage flannel. It is maybe the best boy’s room you will ever see.

Indeed, this whole place is boy heaven: There are dirt bikes, trucks, speedboats, guns and a constant, everchanging menagerie — wild turkeys, chickens, a pygmy goat, a black pig, a pink pig and a deer in a back pasture.

When Daniel Ross is stressed out, he said, he likes to sit among them.

“They are happy all the time,” LaDawn Ross said of her boys.

through the pet stores’ adoption events, Ouchida said.

The primary reason for the glut in unwanted pets is the fertility of the animals themselves. An unspayed dog producing a litter a year can create a genetic line that produces thousands of offspring over its lifetime, and an unspayed cat producing two litters a year can add millions, according to Spay USA, a national organization dedicated to reducing unwanted animal births.

And only 75 percent of pet dogs and cats in the country are spayed or neutered, according the ASPCA. The most significant step any pet owner can take to help alleviate the unwanted pet problem is “fix” their animals.

That is one of the primary advantages of adopting dogs and cats through local animal shelters and pet stores through their adoption events; all of the animals are spayed or neutered, according to Bauersfeld.

But that’s not the only advantage. They also come in vet-certified good health with their initial vaccinations and have an imbedded microchip with the pet’s identification information encoded on it, which can be read anywhere in the country if the animal is lost, she said.

“People who buy from a pet

store or an independent breeder really need to investigate the origin of that pet,” Bauersfeld said.

If the dogs for sale in pet stores come from the Midwest or Northeast, there is a good chance they come from puppy mills and may be disposed to medical and behavioral issues.

There are also so-called back-

35, fell in love in high school in nearby Rosebud, Ark., which at the time boasted a population of 202, though Daniel Ross said, “I think half of those were probably cows.”

Daniel Ross, an avid hunter and sportsman, developed an expensive taxidermy habit (a deer mount, he said, could run about $400). So he apprenticed himself to a taxidermist in Conway, Ark., and when he and his wife moved to Romance a little over 10 years ago, he turned the outbuilding on their new property into a workshop for his taxidermy projects.

His first pet-preservation client was a local guy from nearby Heber Springs, who phoned in tears, said LaDawn Ross, who took the call. “He was this big biker guy, as we learned later, with long hair and tattoos,” she said, “but he was crying like a baby. ‘I am not going to put this dog in the ground,’ he said. ‘She deserves better than that.’ I told him we don’t do pets, but he just broke me down.”

“The first time they see their pet, it’s a big deal,” Daniel Ross said. “Not that this is something I ever thought I would do. If you asked me in high school, I wouldn’t have said, ‘Oh, I’m going to be a taxidermist and stuff people’s pets.’ Or, ‘I’m going to be a reality TV star.’”

yard breeders in more remote areas of Central Oregon raising animals for sale under poor conditions to supplement their incomes, she noted.

“Often pet store purchases are impulse buys and people are not really thinking about what it takes to raise them,” increasing the likelihood the pet will be surrendered to a shelter, Bauersfeld added.

“If people adopt from shelters, they know they are getting good, healthy dogs and providing homes for animals already in existence,” she said.

So, are the partnerships between the shelters and the biggest local pet retailers helpful to finding homes for dogs and cats and reducing avoidable euthanasia?

“Absolutely,” said Ouchida.

“Any opportunity to promote the wonderful animals available at a local shelter, from mixed breeds to purebreds, is a great way to remind people to think of adoption first.”

Bauersfeld goes even further: “I think they are great programs because they are helping the shelters find homes for these dogs and cats temporarily displaced from their usual homes.”

Reichl Continued from E1

Background Reichl has had a perfect perch from which to observe and report about the changes in the culinary world. She began her career in food in Berkeley, Calif., as a chef and restaurant owner in the early 1970s.

From there, she went on to serve as a food and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times before returning to her birthplace, New York, where she became the restaurant critic for the New York Times.

In 1999 she became editor of Gourmet magazine and served at the magazine’s helm until its closure in 2009.

Reichl has also written several best-selling memoirs, including “Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise,” which is being made into a movie.

Reich starred in a 10-episode PBS show, “Gourmet’s Adventures with Ruth,” and specials on the Food Network as well as starring as a judge on the most recent season of “Top Chef Masters,” a popular cooking show on Bravo.

Reichl’s credentials are impressive. She has won numerous awards and accolades over the years. But despite her lofty résumé, Reichl’s attitude about food is consistently light, joyful and down-to-earth. She talks about developing her critical palate at a young age because while she was growing up, her mother was known to throw together illconceived concoctions that sometimes resulted in food poisoning. In her book “Tender at the Bone,” Reichl referred to her mom as “tasteblind and unafraid of rot.”

“My mother made me into a critic,” joked Reichl.

Somehow those lessthan-delicious early experiences resulted in Reichl developing an absolute passion for food.

She says food appeals to us on an elemental level.

“We’re all hungry. It is a universal feeling.”

Reichl points out that our olfactory system is the only one of our senses “really lodged inside our brains.”

She believes that makes food very connected to our memories and passions.

Further, she says, “The easiest way to influence people, really, is feeding them well.”

Sitting around a table together is also a powerful experience and one time when we “relax, slow down and pay attention to each other.”

Food now Reichl believes the shift in the culinary landscape has a great deal to do with demand from chefs in restaurants — “you can’t make good food with bad products.” So chefs sought out things like locally grown vegetables, artisan

“We have not just broadened our palates, we have broadened our minds.

I don’t think you can just turn that off.”

— Ruth Reichl

breads and so on. From there, the movement seems to have spread. She feels that a huge change, in particular, has taken place in the past six or seven years. Reichl says she watched the rise of the celebrity chef and is now watching the rise of the celebrity artisan, which she calls a “much more powerful movement” because, unlike eating at a four-star restaurant, buying a good loaf of bread is not relegated to the wealthy.

One of the most profound changes Reichl sees is in how people view food morally.

There’s a huge understanding now, especially by younger people, that “eating is an ethical act.” Beyond flavor, people want to support local farmers and sustainable practices.

Reichl says people are much more aware now of how food comes to the table and care about things such as the ethical treatment of animals.

“We have changed. The nation was oblivious to food … (we’re) becoming a nation very aware,” said Reichl. And she doesn’t ever see that slipping away. “We have not just broadened our palates, we have broadened our minds. I don’t think you can just turn that off.”

Tastes have also changed and expanded. Reichl is excited to see Americans embracing kimchee, a spicy Korean condiment made from fermented vegetables, as well as “rediscovering spice” and the joy of toasting their own spices.

Right now, Reichl is working on her finishing her first novel and is developing a cookbook based on her Twitter feed. She also has a weekly column for the online magazine Gilt Taste called “How to Make a Better…” in which she offers fun tips for making better scrambled eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches, for example (for the latter, she recommends grating cheese and putting mayonnaise on the outside of the bread, among other things.)

Reichl has traveled to Portland many times, which she calls one of the great food cities in America, but has never been to Bend. About Central Oregon’s most well known artisan food product — craft beer — she has this to say: “Beer is such an interesting food.

What’s happening with beer is just thrilling.”

Perhaps she will partake in a pint while she’s in town. No doubt whatever she’s tasting, she will do so with gusto.

A home swathed in love and salvaged barn wood

home

By Penny Nakamura For The Bulletin

When Joy Krumvieda is sitting in her one-of-akind home in Sisters, she knows it’s wrapped in love from the man who built this house and wrapped it in century-old reclaimed barn wood.

“There’s a lot of sweat equity that went into this home,” said Joy. Joy’s husband of 16 years, Mike Krumvieda, died last year, but not before completing their dream home, which gives Joy a measure of comfort as she looks around at what he designed and built.

“He was 68 years old back in 1992, and I saw him scale up the front of this huge, three-story old barn, and he took it down board by board, trying not to break any of them,” recalled Joy, closing her eyes at the memory. “He would take his crowbar and pry each of these boards carefully apart.”

Mike had noticed a century-old barn for sale in Tangent — a small town outside of Corvallis — but the barn apparently had no takers for a very long time. As Joy explains it, her husband finally went up to the farmer and offered him a flat $500 to take it down and haul it away, piece by piece. The old farmer agreed, and within six months, Mike was able to tear it down and haul the wood, metal roof and hay rails on a flatbed trailer. He then brought the supplies over the mountain pass to his Sisters property.

“I couldn’t begin to tell you how many trips it took to bring it all back up here, but I do remember one of his trips, when it was snowing and icy over Tombstone Pass. And I was scared to death because the locals don’t call it Tombstone Pass for nothing,” said Joy, who can now laugh about that harrowing haul.

It’s not everyone who can look at an old barn and envision a dream home, but Joy said Mike had the gift. As a master contractor and carpenter, Mike had built everything from upscale custom homes throughout the west to a 2,500-unit apartment complex in Arizona.

But for all the contracting jobs he held during his life, Joy says this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home on 5 wooded acres was his pride and joy.

“I know it’s nothing fancy, and it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. But to me, this house hugs you when you walk in,” said Joy. “It’s such a homey, comfortable, warm house.”

• Hydroponics offer a chance at vegetables any time of the year

By Tom Olsen • For The Bulletin

igh Desert gardeners have at least two strikes against them before they even step up to the botanical plate: on average, Deschutes County receives less than 12 inches of rain a year, and the growing season is only 60 days long, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Add naturally poor soil, and the odds against growing a bumper crop of summer vegetables outdoors can seem overwhelming.

But there’s one increasingly popular way for Central Oregon’s green thumbs to hit a horticultural home run any time of the year by eliminating all of these geographical disadvantages: hydroponics.

“Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water without soil,” said Nick Beaudoin, co-owner of Bend Indoor Gardening Station, located on Bond Street near The Old Mill District in Bend. All that is needed is a room, lighting, ventilation and a nutrient delivery system.

What you don’t need is the customary dirt or our fleeting summer sun.

Taste, economy and fun — meatballs reborn

Cioppino has numerous variations that call upon a wide selection of fish and shellfish.

Cioppino Continued from F1 There are as many renditions of this San Francisco classic as there are folks who’ve left their hearts there.

Good friends Pam and Dan Bottom shared a version with me several years ago, and I was blown away by its sim-

plicity and flavor. It’s become my signature stew. And like I said, what makes it especially great is the fact that the tomato base can be prepared days ahead. Then, just before you’re ready to serve, you can heat it up and begin adding the fish and shellfish in the appropriate order so that everything turns out tender and cooked to

Winter Fish and Crab Stew (aka Cioppino) Makes about 8 generous servings of 2¼ cups each.

Cooked Dungeness crab isn’t exactly requisite, but it is a classic ingredient and since it’s in season, please consider adding it to the mix. Another fun addition would be green-lipped mussels, also known as New Zealand greenshell mussels. In most regions around Oregon, you’re going to find them frozen and on the half shell. ¾ lb red snapper ¾ lb halibut ½ lb scallops 2 TBS oil 2 C chopped onion 4 fresh cloves garlic, minced 16 oz salsa (any salsa will do, but I prefer Pace’s medium picante sauce) 5 (14½ oz) cans diced tomatoes (see note) 1½ C dry white wine, such as pinot blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, pinot gris or an Oregon chardonnay 2 tsp each dried (or 1 TBS each fresh): basil, thyme, marjoram and oregano

1 bay leaf ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper ½ C chopped fresh parsley 1 lb steamer clams or greenlipped mussels 2 C fresh peeled and deveined shrimp meat 1 to 2 whole cooked crabs, depending on their size, or about 3 C firm, cooked Dungeness crab meat (see note) Salt and additional pepper to taste

Cut the snapper and halibut into ½- to 1-inch chunks; set aside in refrigerator until needed.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot and sauté the onions and garlic over medium-high heat until the onions are tender. Stir in the salsa, tomatoes, wine, herbs, black pepper, and parsley and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to have enough substance to coat a spoon. The stew base may be refrigerated at this point for several days (or even frozen for up to 4 or 5 months).

When ready to assemble the cioppino, bring the tomato mixture to a boil, then add the fish chunks and simmer until just barely cooked through. Add the clams and cook just until the clams open (discard any clams that don’t open). Add the shrimp and crab and remove the pot from the burner; the shrimp and crab will heat through nicely and not become tough. Add salt and additional fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Note on diced tomatoes: I use 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño, and 4 cans of regular diced tomatoes. That little bit of jalapeño adds just enough zip. However, if you think you’ll be serving some very sensitive palates, just use 5 cans of regular diced tomatoes.

Note on crab: Adding cooked crab meat is the less messy way to go, but the meat tends to disappear into the stew; whereas, if you simply break 1 (or 2 if they are small) whole cooked and cleaned crab(s) into its parts (legs, claws, and the halved or quartered body), folks can fish out a portion and break it open themselves for a real tasty treat.

Zesty Slaw with Cabbage, Celery, Carrot, Green Onion and Emmenthal Cheese Makes about 6½ cups, enough for 8 to 10 side servings.

Here’s a wonderful salad to serve alongside the cioppino. It’s an easy make-ahead offering.

6 C shredded green cabbage 2 C finely chopped celery 1 C shredded carrot ½ C chopped green onion (all of the white and a portion of the green from 4 or 5 onions) 2 C shredded Emmenthal or other fine-quality Swiss cheese 2 cloves finely minced garlic 2 TBS fresh lemon juice 2 TBS red or white wine vinegar 2 tsp Dijon mustard About ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 ⁄3 C olive oil In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, celery, carrot and onion; toss to combine. Add the cheese and toss again.

Combine the garlic with the lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil, then adjust seasonings, adding additional salt, pepper, lemon juice or vinegar to bring the dressing into balance — not too oily, not too zesty. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, tossing well to completely coat the ingredients with the dressing. Chill well before serving. May be made several hours ahead.

perfection. Just make sure the ingredients are fresh! fresh! fresh! So know your fish guy.

One great way to keep the expense under control is to turn the dish into a potluck sort of affair. You make the spicy tomato base, then assign your guests one or two of the seafood selections. That way the cost of the evening’s meal is evenly shared by all who are going to enjoy it.

With the main course handled, all you have to figure out are the accompaniments: A fabulous salad, of course; plenty of good-quality artisan bread; and the right wine and craft beer.

Most of our fabulous Oregon reds absolutely sing alongside this hearty yet elegant dish. From southern Oregon’s smooth and fruity Syrahs to the Willamette Valley’s pinot noirs, you can hardly go wrong with such pairings. For a craft beer, consider a lovely middle-of-the-road amber ale, which stands up next to the tomatoey base of the stew without overwhelming the fish.

Sometimes there’s a disconnect between the proclamations of food gurus and what regular folks eat.

Not so in the case of meatballs. Once labeled “dish of the year” by Bon Appetit magazine, meatballs are welcome everywhere.

They were the unexpected star of the buffet table at a holiday party I attended with 40 other guys. There sat six — six! — casseroles filled with meatballs, most of which were ground beef in tomato sauce. And nearly every ball was gone by the end of the night.

“Meatballs are the ultimate cure-all for anything that ails you,” write Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow in “The Meatball Shop Cookbook” (Ballantine, $28). Though these New York City restaurateurs are thinking “hangover, breakup, lack of sleep, even a crying baby,” you should think meatballs for your next party.

You can, of course, serve up that traditional ground beef meatball and float it in a pool of tomato sauce. Or jazz up your game plan by experimenting with meats, flavors and presentations.

Nearly every culture has a meatball, as Rick Rodgers, author of the new cookbook, “I Love Meatballs!” (Andrews McMeel, $19.99), makes clear. His 55 recipes range around the world, from Tuscan olive-stuffed rounds to Thai pork and shrimp balls to a Texas meatball chili soup.

“Every cuisine has them because they’re economical and easy to make,” says Rodgers. “They also just taste great. You can make them ahead, warm them up, and they just get better.”

Meatballs 101 Tips to making and serving meatballs from “The Meatball Shop Cookbook,” by Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow, with Lauren Deen.

Serving sizes and saucing: The Meatball Shop’s standard serving is four 1½inch balls. Count on ¼ cup sauce for each 1 ½-inch ball. Serving pasta? “Add cooked pasta right into the pan to soak up the sauce and flavor,” the authors suggest.

Make ahead: Meatballs can be made a day in advance and baked up to 24 hours later. Or, bake immediately and refrigerate for up to three days before reheating.

Storage: Refrigerate, with or without sauce, for up to three days.

Freeze, with or without sauce, for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Microwave 4 minutes, 6 minutes if frozen. Bake, covered, in a 300-degree oven, 20 minutes. Cook on the stove top, covered, with 2 or 3 tablespoons of water over medium heat, 10 minutes.

BEYOND GUACAMOLE • Use versatile avocados in all kinds of dishes

By Susan M. Selasky Detroit Free Press

Ahhh-vocados — they’re not just for guacamole. Although the yummy dip is probably one of their most popular uses, there are other reasons to love avocados.

You can use them to make dipping sauces for chicken, pork and beef.

You can mash, season and spread them on bread for sandwiches.

You can slice them for salads and sandwiches, puree them for smoothies and use them in cooked dishes.

A personal favorite is avocado slices drizzled with a little olive oil and sprinkled with fine sea salt and chopped cilantro.

And although one medium avocado contains a lot of fat — 30 grams — it’s mostly the monounsaturated kind thought to lower bad (LDL) cholesterol and boost good (HDL) cholesterol.

Botanically avocados are a fruit, but you’ll usually find them stacked near the vegetables in stores. They’re available year-round thanks to growing regions in California, Florida, Mexico and Chile.

In stores now is the blackskinned Hass variety from Mexico. The California Hass comes in March.

Varieties from California and Mexico often are said to have the best flavor.

At Honey Bee Market in Detroit’s Mexicantown, produce manager Andrew Cash said the store typically goes through about 260 cases — there are 60 avocados in a case — in a week.

“They’re looking pretty good,” Cash said of the Mexican avocados. “They’re ripening nicely, have good color and it’s a good-tasting avocado.”

In a good avocado, Cash said, the pit pulls away cleanly from the flesh.

All about the avocado • It’s a fruit, not a vegetable, a native of South and Central America.

• Hass and Fuerte are the most common varieties.

• More than 90 percent of the nation’s avocados come from California.

• Florida avocados of the Fuerte variety are larger and have more water and less fat than Hasses.

• Avocados can hang on the tree for months before being picked. They ripen off the tree.

• Avocados are sodiumand cholesterol-free and have only five grams of fat per 1ounce serving (about 3 slices). Most of the fat is monounsaturated, a good fat thought to benefit cholesterol health.

• Avocados also are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant that’s good for the eyes.

• Refrigerate only ripe avocados ; unripe avocados will not ripen in the cold. Store ripe avocados for up to five days — longer and the flesh can turn to flavorless mush and darken.

• Freeze pureed avocado for about four months to use in dips, sauces and spreads. Puree ripe avocados in a blender using 1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice for each avocado. Place in airtight container leaving ½ to 1 inch head space. Cover and freeze.

Buying, pitting, slicing To use right away, choose ripe avocados with smooth, dark green skin or pebbly skin that is almost purplish-black.

Press gently on the widest part; your finger should leave a slight indentation. Don’t buy if fruit has uneven soft spots.

If not using right away, choose hard fruits with bright-green skins.

Leave them on the counter to ripen in three to four days. Place them in a paper bag with an apple or banana to speed up ripening.

Ignore “ripe for tonight” stickers on avocados. Judge by touch.

To slice, place on the counter and steady with the palm of your hand. Slice around the circumference and twist to separate. One half will have the pit. Carefully stab the pit with a sharp knife so it sticks and work out the pit.

To mash, spoon out the flesh. To dice or slice, cut the flesh while still in the skin and use a spoon to release the slices or dice. For even slices, cut the flesh through the skin and then remove the skin.

Once it’s cut, sprinkle the flesh with lemon or lime juice and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the avocado. This helps prevent darkening.

Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Avocado and Cucumber Relish Makes 4 servings.

Chipotle chilies give the chicken a smoky, spicy kick that is cooled down by a crunchy avocado cucumber relish. These make for an easy weeknight meal. You can make the relish several hours ahead.

AVOCADO-CUCUMBER RELISH: 1 lg ripe avocado, peeled, seeded and diced ¼ C seeded and finely chopped English cucumber 3 TBS finely diced red onion 1 lg red radish, diced 2 TBS finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro 1 TBS red wine vinegar 2 tsp olive oil Salt to taste TACOS: 1 TBS olive oil

2 TBS finely chopped red onion 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 2 to 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped 2 TBS honey 2 med vine-ripened tomatoes, cored, seeded and diced 2 green onions, finely sliced 3 C coarsely shredded roasted chicken breast Salt and pepper to taste 8 sm corn tortillas Cilantro leaves and lime slices for garnish

To make the relish: In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado, cucumber, red onion and radish.

Add in the parsley and red wine vinegar, and slowly drizzle in the oil until combined. Season with salt to taste. Cover, pressing plastic wrap firmly on the relish and refrigerate until use.

To make tacos: Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Add the oil and the onion to the pan; cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the peppers, honey and tomatoes.

Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until most of the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated and the mixture begins to thicken.

Add the green onions and chicken and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.

Heat the tortillas in a separate small sauté pan over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds on each side to warm through. Or warm in the microwave.

Divide and spoon the chicken mixture among the tortillas, top each taco with the avocado relish, garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with lime slices.

When I spent some months in Venice, Italy, years ago, my friend Paolo would show up at dinner parties with prosciutto. I’m not talking about a paper packet of sliced ham but a whole prosciutto di San Daniele, the famous ham from Friuli, cured with the foot on. The host would hand him a glass of Prosecco, he’d pull his well-traveled prosciutto out of the bag and proceed to carve off slices as his contribution to the cicchetti (antipasti) spread. Brilliant. And after, it would go home with him to be trotted out for the next dinner party.

It’s only polite when you’re invited to dinner to ask whether you can bring something. When I’m giving a dinner party, I’m often stumped to answer the question, though. Wine geeks can bring wine. But for anyone else, my kneejerk response is to say no, we don’t need a thing.

I’ve slowly come to realize, though, that it’s not at all the right response because it leaves the guest frantically trying to figure out something suitable to bring and, in the end, makes the whole thing more painful than it needs to be.

If it’s a semi-potluck, I might ask someone to bring a dessert or a first-course salad, things that are easily transportable. Sometimes I ask people to bring some music they love or have just discovered, so we can enjoy it during dinner.

One friend always brings homemade ice cream.

My neighbor Sonya is the cheese specialist. Tight with local cheesemongers, she’ll always show up with several cheeses, at least two of which no one else at the table has ever tasted.

More suggestions: Olives (preferably Castelvetrano or Lucques) and Marcona almonds. These will be brilliant with the aperitif in case the host/ cook is running late and needs something to keep the guests occupied in the meantime. And if not, they’ll keep for the next occasion.

A bottle of rosé or Champagne from a good local wine retailer. Perfect for any occasion (or any cuisine). When in doubt, go with a small grower recommended by a knowledgeable wine merchant.

A pound of coffee beans from one of your area’s independent roasters.

Handmade chocolates (lots to choose from, the more local the better). Bring a pretty package of the latest creations from a local chocolate-maker.

A bottle of unusual oil (walnut, hazelnut, even pumpkin seed oil if you can find it). These specialty oils come in small bottles and thus are an indulgent treat for a cook.

Aged sherry vinegar. A good vinegar is hard to find and always a welcome gift. Pick up a bottle at a gourmet shop or even a wine shop. Sherry vinegar works magic in salads or marinated vegetables.

Cowboy up

Joy says Mike fancied himself a cowboy, so it’s no surprise that this reclaimed barn wood home echoes his passion.

A plethora of Western antiques lines shelves and decorates walls and doors.

While the entire exterior of their home is sided with the vintage barn wood, the threestory barn provided ample lumber to bring it indoors, too.

“He used the barn wood for all the cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms, too,” said Joy. “He used antique white porcelain electrical insulating caps as the pulls, and he even used the barn wood to cover the old refrigerator.”

Also unique to the kitchen is a black iron pot rack above the island. It’s made from an old stagecoach wheel rim.

Joy says Mike built that for her, too. Being a good cowgirl herself, Joy only cooks with one of her many heavy cast iron Wagner and Griswold skillets. They have become highly collectible over the years, but for her they are the basic tools she needs to cook.

Joy Krumvieda continued the Western theme in her decorations. At top are handmade elk leather gloves made by a Canadian Indian and passed down to Joy by her mother.

Below that is her collection of antique cowboy books.

Joy and Mike Krumvieda’s home in Sisters is sided with wood from a century-old barn in Tangent that Mike paid $500 to take down and haul over the mountains to use in their dream home.

Americana history One of the things the Krumviedas noticed about their barn wood is that after a few years it began cracking — even after varnishing the kitchen cupboards. Joy said that’s because in the valley area where the barn had stood for more than 100 years, the wood was used to the moisture that pelts the area, but the dry air of Cascades dried it out.

But because barn wood is naturally weathered, the newer cracks only gave it more character. Joy often likes to study the hand-hewn boards and imagine the life that this barn has endured.

“You can see that this barn was at one time probably painted red, and then white and maybe green at one time,” said Joy pointing to different panels of the mainly natural brown wood that carries the daily toll of work and weather in it.

Joy loves the American history in these aged boards.

She brought collected Western American antiques into the home.

“Mike built this house, but I decorated it, by hanging things everywhere,” said Joy with a broad smile. “We both loved going to farm auction sales, and that’s where a lot of the antiques came from.”

But one of her most beloved antiques is a pair of

by Canadian Indians, which were passed down from her mother.

“They were made by grandpa Pierre Louis’ old lady Marchand, who was a Canadian Indian, and I always loved them growing up,” said Joy, pointing to the beautiful elk leather gloves with bead work that she now protects in a shadow box frame on her bedroom dresser.

The master bedroom harks back to an open cowboy bunkhouse design, as it is separated from the family room by only a half wall. In any other house, this design might not work, but because of the rustic nature of this house, it seems natural to have designed it this way.

In the bedroom, Joy has an antique dresser that her parents originally brought in by train from North Dakota.

Other antiques around the bedroom give it a warm, historical ambiance.

Passing the family room, Joy shows us the bathroom,

“I grew up in a farmhouse, where we had to go outside to the outhouse,” says Joy, laughing. “My parents didn’t get an indoor bathroom till I moved out of the house.”

Next door to the indoor “outhouse” is Joy’s “bathhouse,” where there’s a vintage claw-foot tub that she found, complete with brass fixtures.

Finding treasure Returning to the living room, Joy pointed toward the ceilings, where they were able to incorporate the old metal roof from the century-old barn into ceiling panels.

The aged brown patina hues of these metal panels gives the room some added depth and visual interest among the old rustic beams.

In one corner of the room, Joy has a beautiful collection of antique cowboy books that she brought from her parents’ old farmhouse.

She displays the collection of many first-edition books in an antique glass windowshelving unit that she bought at an auction at the old Rock Springs Ranch.

Next to this bookcase is a half wall that separates the kitchen from the living room.

This half wall also has a history, as it’s paneled with stamped antique tin panels that the Krumviedas serendipitously salvaged.

“We were traveling, and we saw this old store being demolished in Palouse, Washington, and Mike noticed these tin panels they were tearing out. And we stopped,

and he offered 50 cents a tin — and the guy accepted his deal,” said Joy. “When we got home and started washing them off, we noticed that some of the tins had dates stamped into them with the year 1860. We cleaned them up and varnished them, and I think they’re just beautiful.”

Joy was able to salvage some other barn wood, from her father’s barn, and incorporate it into the house, above the main windows and French doorway in the living room.

The large boards still carry nail holes, insect scarring and old knots, and where others may see mars, Joy only sees beauty and fond memories.

Most of the main living area of the open home design is upstairs. Heading downstairs, there is a hand railing that’s made out of the original iron hay railing from the old barn.

Mike also built an extra guest bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and office space in the lower area. In the laundry room, Mike took more of the hay railings from the barn and used the iron bars for a hanging area. He used old horseshoes to weld onto the hanging bars for a little whimsy and style.

Looking around her laundry room and guest bathroom, Joy says reclaimed barn wood has become trendy over the years, making the vintage wood expensive today. A recent check on a website for reclaimed barn wood had the price at $5.99 per linear foot.

“He did all this wood work, siding and cabinetry, from a $500 barn,” says Joy, shaking her head. “It really is something, and really shows how talented and creative Mike was. He’d design things on a napkin, and then the next thing I know that (napkin) drawing would be built.”

Mike had just completed the bonus room next to the garage area before he became ill. Joy circled around to the front of the house and mounted the stairs to the upper deck, back to the living room.

She pointed to a large, modern barn that Mike also built for what she says was a nominal price of $5,000. Joy opened the huge barn doors and revealed a large RV that takes up about half the space in the vast barn.

“This motor home had been his bachelor pad, and he’d take it to Mexico every winter. But when he finished this house and we got married, this house here became home. Our dream home,” said Joy, looking back at the house.

“When I’m in our home, I feel his presence because almost everything, inside and outside, he built with his own two hands.”

The barn wood house is a testament to a man who had a vision that a new house could be built from reclaimed century-old wood, and if Joy has her way, this house will be stand for another 100 years.

Hydroponics Continued from F1 While hydroponics may seem to many a new science, the first successful experiments of soil-less agriculture were conducted in England in the 1600s, and definitive research on the subject was done in Germany in the 1800s, according to the website Science Tech Entrepreneur.

The term “hydroponics” was coined by Dr. W. F Gericks of the University of California, who promoted the technique as more efficient than traditional agriculture to American farmers in the late 1930s, according to the website.

Today, 80 percent of the herbs and vegetables in the supermarket are grown hydroponically, including herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, and the method is well within the capabilities and budget of the home gardener, Beaudoin said.

In addition to a yearlong growing season, the advantages of hydroponics compared to conventional outdoor gardening include more efficient use of space, lower costs of watering and fertilizers, no collateral environmental pollution, higher yields of more nutritious produce in a shorter time, easier harvesting and better pest control, according to Beaudoin.

Disadvantages can include lost crops if mechanical solution delivery systems fail and the fact that different crops may require special nutrient formulas for optimal growth.

Hydroponic plant nutrients in solution include ionic calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates and trace elements including iron, manganese, copper and zinc. Commercial hydroponic fertilizers are readily available at most garden stores and some are calibrated to address the specific needs of various plant species and their different stages of growth and development.

For those with an interest in the chemistry, there are free and open-source websites catering to hydroponic gardeners providing various nutrient recipes to meet specific needs, including www.HydroBuddy. com and www.HydroCal.com.

This is an indoor greenhouse inside BIGS, similar to one individuals could set up inside their homes to grow all sorts of vegetables year-round. The walls are lined with material made to reflect light.

A variety of houseplants are growing in an EZ-clone thirty-site clone machine at BIGS.

This is a delivery system for nutrient solutions, including a fluorescent light on a flood and drain table with a reservoir underneath at BIGS.

Delivery systems There are two basic types of hydroponic delivery systems: solution culture and medium culture.

Solution culture systems deliver the water-borne nutrients directly to bare plant roots suspended in a container. The solutions may be static and replenished by hand periodically, flow continuously using a pump or even delivered to airborne roots in an aerosol mist.

It’s always important that sufficient oxygen be delivered to the roots, according to Beaudoin, and aquarium aerators are commonly used.

Medium culture systems use inert materials in the containers — the media — to wick the nutrient solution to the roots while also allowing exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Media can include clay pellets, vermiculite, coconut husks and even Styrofoam packing “peanuts.” Most systems recirculate the solution through slightly inclined trays holding the plants.

And though regular fluo-

Hydroponic plant nutrients in solution include ionic calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates and trace elements including iron, manganese, copper and zinc.

rescent bulbs can be used to provide the energy needed for the plants to develop, many hydroponic gardeners use metal halide or high-pressure sodium “grow lights.”

All hydroponic containers should be impervious to light to avoid unwanted growth of algae, however, and are usually made of opaque materials.

If they don’t naturally block light, containers may be paint-

ed or wrapped in black plastic.

In either system, water use is minimal compared to conventional gardening, Beaudoin said, and because they are self-contained, there is no chemical runoff into the High Desert watershed.

Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Author and North Carolina gardener Nan Chase writes about her passion — edibles you grow and eat.

Her book, “Eat Your Yard!

Edible trees, shrubs, vines, herbs and flowers for your landscape,” encourages you to pick plants for their beauty as well as their taste and table value.

“I urge people with any size yard to use good landscape plants that produce food they like to eat. My current yard is less than one-tenth of an acre.

Growing an edible landscape is a joy,” Chase says.

Here’s what Chase says about her favorite edibles: Crabapples are easy fruit trees because they are com-

pact, need little pruning and are pest and disease free.

They enhance the landscape and help pollination, and they produce lots of fruit that can be used for juices and sauces, dehydrated, and otherwise put up in large quantities.

Plant grapes because there are varieties galore, including native American grapes that produce prolifically along the Eastern seaboard. Chase likes a mixture of Niagara type eating grapes, muscadine grapes, concord grapes and mystery grapes. Prune them every year for good production. Grapes like thin, hot soil. They provide leaves for pickled grape leaves (Mediterranean cooking), fresh grapes, pasteurized grape

duce does not taste as good as home-grown is because it is not vine-ripened before being harvested and delivered to the store, he said.

Hydroponic indoor vegetable gardens can make good economic sense, too.

Beaudoin said a 4-footsquare hydroponic garden can continuously feed a family of four and costs about $900 to set up. If the family is used to spending $150 a month on high-quality produce at the supermarket, that initial investment is recouped in as little as six months.

“One of the newest forms of hydroponics utilizes fish farming along with gardening and is called aquaponics,” Beaudoin added. The plants and animals are raised together in a symbiotic relationship: the fish provide nutrients for the plants, and the plants help

keep the fishes’ environment clean.

While aquaponics may be on the leading edge of sustainable gardening, hydroponics is also environmentally friendly and available now.

“Here in the High Desert, indoor gardening is really the only gardening,” Beaudoin concluded. “You can garden inside 365 days a year and produce much more than an outdoor summer crop. It’s easier that you think.”

quarter of the space, according to Beaudoin.

“Plants growing hydroponically use less energy to grow roots. This results in larger, longer-lasting fruits with higher nutritional value than that of soil-grown vegetables,” he said.

And herbs and leafy vegetables can be harvested and ready for dinner in as little as three weeks, tomatoes in four and peppers in five, by simply picking them out of their containers.

Beaudoin addressed the common misconception that hydroponic produce is not as flavorful as that grown the old-fashioned way by saying, “properly grown and ripened produce using hydroponic methods are very rich in flavor, color and texture.”

The reason that a lot of hydroponic supermarket pro-

Leeks are a vegetable that gets better throughout winter; the slow-growing, nutritious and delicious green loves snow. Leeks are easy to start from seed, and provide nice blue color in their leaves.

Leeks are cheaper to grow than buy.

Roses are quite edible: the petals, and especially the nutritious fruits called hips.

They contain tremendous vitamin C, and can be made into jelly or tea. Beautiful in the garden, easier to take care of than you might suspect, roses also help pollinate all fruiting plants.

MARTHA STEWART What are some tricks Q: for long-lasting flower arrangements?

Most well-tended bouA: quets last a week. Orchids, chrysanthemums, car-

nations and lilies usually stay fresh for 10 days, sometimes even longer.

Whichever flowers you choose, use stems with vigorous foliage and fresh blooms; put them in water immediately.

If picking from the garden, take a bucket of water with you.

If buying blooms, take them home at once.

Scrub the vase with warm water and use a few drops of dishwashing liquid. (Use a brush with a long handle to clean narrow-necked vases.)

Rinse thoroughly.

Trim stems with gardening shears at a 45-degree angle so the flowers can take in more water. For woody branches such as lilacs, cut an asterisk in the base or crush the last few inches of the branch with a hammer. Strip leaves that would sit below the waterline.

Fill the vase with lukewarm water, and add a drop of bleach.

Arrange the bouquet, and set it in a cool spot out of direct sunlight. Every couple of days, change the water and retrim the stems.

How do I get rid of tiny Q: gnats that fly around my houseplants?

These are fungus gnats, A: which don’t harm people, pets or most plants, but they are

annoying and unpleasant.

These insects lay eggs in moist potting soil. To deter them, let the top inch of dirt dry between waterings; your plant will become far less hospitable to the bugs (and probably healthier since few plants do well in soggy soil).

If you still see gnats after a couple of weeks, set a half-inchthick potato slice on the soil to lure the larvae. Stake a yellow sticky trap (sold at garden centers) in the soil – the color attracts the adults. After a few days, toss the potato and, if the gnats have also disappeared, the trap.

Some plants, such as maidenhair ferns or pitcher plants, need wet soil. For these, seal the pot and soil with plastic wrap.

A little unsightly, yes, but less so than those teeny critters.

My husband is allergic Q: to dogs, but my son really wants one. Are there any

breeds that are hypoallergenic?

There’s no such thing as a hypoallergenic breed.

Every dog carries an allergen in its skin, saliva and waste.

As the pup sheds and dispenses friendly licks, the allergen spreads.

Still, people allergic to dogs often tolerate some breeds better than others. Certain dogs shed less fur and so cast less dander. These include poodles, schnauzers, shih tzus, bichons frises, Yorkshire terriers, Havanese, Portuguese water dogs and Tibetan terriers.

But before telling your son about them, your husband should see his allergist. Depending on the severity of his allergy, it may not make sense to bring any dog home.

If it turns out he’s not too sensitive and your family starts to peruse pooches, you should still spend a good amount of time with any potential pet to see how your husband fares.

If all goes well and you adopt, take steps to control the amount of dander at home.

First, make part of your abode pet-free. As for the rest of your home, vacuum often, using a vacuum with a HEPA filter. An air purifier with a HEPA filter can help, too. Finally, bathe your pet weekly with a mild dog shampoo, and brush it frequently.

With soup, nothing goes to waste

By Lee Svitak Dean

Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

I call it free food. My children used to laugh at me as I would dish it up with glee and remind them that the evening’s meal was free.

Now they are young adults who know how to pinch a penny. When they make it for themselves, they remember: this almost-nocost meal is a winner.

That’s what I call the process of making soup from scraps. Leftover chicken or turkey carcass? In the soup pot. Ham bone? In the soup pot. Nothing goes to waste when a stockpot is on the back burner.

I start by making the base for the soup with leftover bones, having removed any meat scraps that I want to use in the final soup, since simmering the meat too long will make it tough. I add coarsely cut vegetables to the water (carrots, onions and celery — celery leaves

are particularly flavorful), along with peppercorns and a couple of bay leaves, all of which will be discarded once the stock has simmered. Save the carcasses from the $5 roasted chickens from the supermarket and really get your money’s worth by using them as the base for soup.

I simmer the stock for an hour and a half, less if I’m short of time, more if I happen to forget about it. When my children were of school age, I often had stock simmering on the stove during winter evenings while they did their homework at the kitchen table, me doing my mealtime prep for the next evening while they studied.

Once the stock is done, it’s strained and cooled in the refrigerator. I prefer to finish the soup the next day when, after the liquid chills, any fat rises to the surface to be easily discarded. But the

Split Pea Soup Makes 8 servings.

Note: Dry split peas come in either yellow or green. The yellow are milder in flavor and are sometimes hard to find. Either works well.

Check through the split peas and rinse them before adding to the soup. When you’re dicing the vegetables for the soup (which is different from when you are cutting them up for the stock), make sure that all the vegetables are cut in the same size. My personal preference is for them to be diced very small, but if you like larger chunks in your soup, by all means cut them that way. The larger the pieces of vegetable are, the longer it will take for them to soften. If you prefer more or fewer vegetables in the soup, add them accordingly.

FOR STOCK: Water Ham bone 3 carrots, cut in chunks 3 or 4 ribs of celery, with leaves, cut in several pieces 1 lg onion, cut in quarters 1 to 2 tsp peppercorns 2 bay leaves

FOR SOUP: 3 carrots, diced (or more) 1 lg onion, diced (or more) 4 ribs of celery, diced (or more) 1 TBS olive oil 1 (16-oz) bag split peas (see note), picked over and rinsed 2 C chopped ham

Fill a large pot with 20 cups water and add the ham bone, carrot chunks, celery and onion. Add the peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to make the water simmer. Cook for at least an hour and up to 2 hours, watching the level of water, adding more water if the level drops too much. (The liquid will reduce by about half if you simmer it for 2 hours.)

Remove the soup pot from the heat and carefully strain the solid ingredients, discarding them. Refrigerate stock (I always put a potholder under the bowl when I put the hot liquid into the cold refrigerator to protect the shelf).

The next day (or once the stock is cool), lift off the fat that has solidified on top of the soup and discard it. Begin to warm the stock over medium heat.

Meanwhile, sauté the diced carrots, onion and celery in oil for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the cooked vegetables to the stock, along with the split peas, and bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the soup for about 30 minutes, or until the peas are soft. Add the ham in the last 10 minutes or so.

If you prefer the soup pureed, use a blender to puree a few cups at a time. If you would like a little texture to the soup, skip that step.

Cream of Celery Soup Makes about 8 cups.

Note: Here’s another option for your homemade chicken broth. Or use canned broth for a quick and luxurious soup.

3 TBS olive oil 1 pkg (1 lg bunch) celery, trimmed of leaves, peeled and coarsely cut (reserve celery leaves for garnish) 2 med onions, chopped (about 1½ C) 2 sm potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 1½ C)

6 C chicken broth Salt and freshly cracked pepper ½ C cream Sour cream, for garnish Celery leaves or minced parsley, dill or fresh chives, for garnish

In a large soup pot over medium heat, heat oil and cook celery and onions for about 15 minutes. Add potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Set aside to cool slightly before pureeing.

In a blender, puree the vegetables and broth and return to the pot.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made in advance to this point.)

To serve, add cream and heat through. Garnish with a dab of sour cream or sprinkle with celery leaves or herbs.

— From “Come One, Come All/ Easy Entertaining With Seasonal Menus,” by Lee Svitak Dean

Split pea and ham soup makes use of a homemade stock flavored by a leftover ham bone.

Making the stock a day in advance and chilling it in the fridge gives you a chance to discard any fat that rises to the surface.

Lee Svitak Dean Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

soup could be completed immediately after it’s strained, if that works better for the cook.

The next step — which for me is the next day — is to sauté a new batch of celery, carrots and onions before adding it to the stock. These will be part of the finished soup, so they should be cut all the same size.

Then I let whimsy take over. If it’s chicken stock,

I decide on the starch, if any, to add with any cut-up chicken: noodles (homemade or packaged), dumplings or spaetzle, rice or wild rice. Or perhaps I’ll use the stock for an entirely different soup, such as cream of celery (see recipe).

If it’s ham stock, I choose between split peas or beans (Great Northern or pintos) with added ham. Maybe I’ll add a potato to any of these

choices, or maybe not. What ends up in the pot depends on what’s in my pantry or refrigerator, hence the sense of “free” food. Even if I buy fresh vegetables or a bag of split peas or noodles, the cost is minimal, a filling meal for what amounts to pocket change.

Thirty minutes later, my “free” meal is on the table: hot and fragrant, a simple dinner in a bowl.

Boundary Waters Wild Rice Soup Makes 6 servings.

Note: To toast almonds, spread nuts in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in a 350degree oven until almonds are lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 to 10 minutes.

6 TBS unsalted butter 1 C diced yellow onion 1 sm leek, halved lengthwise, rinsed well, and thinly sliced 1½ C sliced button mushrooms ¾ C diced carrots ½ C flour

6 C chicken broth 1½ C cooked wild rice ½ roasted chicken, skin and bones removed and meat chopped (1 to 1½ C) 1 C heavy cream 5 TBS dry sherry 2 tsp salt

1½ tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 TBS freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 tsp freshly chopped thyme leaves 2 TBS slivered almonds, toasted, for garnish

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add leek, mushrooms and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add flour and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then decrease heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Add wild rice, chicken, cream, sherry, salt, pepper, parsley and thyme and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Ladle into bowls, garnish with almonds and serve hot.
