In nonjury trials, judge must wear many hats

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Judge Stephen Tiktin is set to announce his verdict in the murder trial of Darrell Middlekauff today.

Middlekauff, 48, is accused of killing his wife and burying her body in a steel drum in 2002. He faces charges of aggravated first-degree murder, as well as sex abuse and providing controlled substances to a minor, charges stemming from his relationship with a 17-year-old girl in late 2004.

The verdict Middlekauff’s defense in Darrell team opted for a nonjury Middlekauff’s trial, a possibility that murder trial was opened to him when is expected the Deschutes County this afternoon.

District’s Attorney’s Office agreed not to seek the death penalty. Under Oregon law, only a jury can impose a death sentence.

Retired legal authorities consulted by The Bulletin said the judge in a nonjury trial takes on a challenging role.

At last, Bend panel OKs middle school boundary

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

After more than four months of debate, the Bend-La Pine Schools’ boundary advisory committee came to a consensus Wednesday on a new middle school boundary for the 2011-12 school year.

About 70 percent of the committee agreed to support the recommendation, which will send students from Pine Ridge Elementary to Pilot Butte Middle School and provide Ensworth Elementary students a choice between attending Pilot Butte

and Sky View middle schools. A small group of Buckingham Elementary students will also move to Sky View Middle School.

“I think we have a minimal consensus,” said Deputy Superintendent John Rexford, noting the process had been one of the most contentious he’d worked on in his 20 years with the district.

The boundary committee was formed to deal with overcrowding at Cascade Middle School, which right now has more than 900 students in a building with capacity for 800.

T

he dog that saved another’s dog life last December got the royal treatment Wednesday morning with a makeover at the Muddy Paws Bathhouse in Bend. Nala, a pit bull mix and resident of the Humane Society of Redmond, licks volunteer Alan Borland while being groomed by Lacey Woods.

“She was a real star,” said Reese Mercer of the Humane Society. “She really loved being doted on, and she was definitely enjoying herself.”

Nala made headlines in December when she saved a blind cocker spaniel that had nearly frozen to death after wandering into a ditch near the shelter. Borland, a Humane Society volunteer, was walking Nala, who alerted him to the presence of the dog.

Since December, Nala has received a lot of interest from potential adopters, but no one has been the right fit, Mercer said.

In recent months, Nala has had fewer and fewer visitors, said Borland, who still takes Nala out for daily walks at the shelter.

“I’m trying to keep optimistic, but to be honest, it’s been a little disheartening,” Borland said, adding that he’s become very close to Nala. “She’s a really sweet dog.”

After the grooming session, Nala got a photo shoot from Bend photographer Jill Rosell. Photos from Wednesday’s shoot are posted on a new Facebook page for Nala, which can be viewed at www.facebook.com/nalaneedsahome. The photos will also be given to the Humane Society, and eventually to Nala’s future owners, said Rosell.

Mercer says that the shelter isn’t giving up hope of finding Nala a permanent home, even though she’s been at the shelter for a year.

“We adore her here, and now we just have to find the right person who will love her forever,” Mercer said.

WASHINGTON — On one level, the budget showdown that continued to play out here Wednesday is all about the balance of power between the two parties, a question of whether President Barack Obama has regained his footing and can still control the direction of the country or whether House Speaker John Boehner and the Republicans are now calling the shots.

But on another, it is a test of each man’s ability to weather challenges inside his own party.

The outcome will help determine whether Boehner is leading his party or following the demands of the Tea Party movement. For Obama, it is the biggest test yet of whether he can reposition himself as a pragmatic leader who can recapture the political center and keep liberals sufficiently energized to help him win re-election.

The budget impasse intensified Wednesday, and the president invited Boehner and the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, for a late-night Oval Office meeting. Obama walked into the White House briefing room at 10:45 p.m., not to announce a deal, but to ask both sides to “keep on pounding away at this thing.”

“I remain confident,” he said, “that if we’re serious about getting something done, we should be able to complete a deal and get it passed and avert a shutdown. But it’s going to require a sufficient sense of urgency from all parties involved.”

A day of talks seemed to do little to avert a collision between Democrats and Republicans that could result in a government shutdown on Saturday.

SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN

By Steven Mufson If you’re in the oil business, chaos pays.

With allied warplanes bombing Libya, Saudi troops in Bahrain, and fleets of Japanese nuclear reactors idled by earthquakes and a tsunami, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate-grade crude oil has soared in the past three months — up $16 to a towering $106.79 a barrel.

“The rising tide lifts all ships.

All oil companies will make more money than anyone estimated just two months ago,” said Fadel Gheit, oil analyst with Oppenheimer.

The source of these higher profits lies in crude oil prices that — except for a stint in 2008 — are as high as they’ve ever been.

Those prices have been driven up, in part, by the political earthquakes taking place across North Africa and the Middle East, where movements for political freedom have shaken up autocrats and royals, and geological earthquakes that knocked out Japanese nuclear plants and oil refineries, boosting demand for fuel oil and products.

In Libya, what began as a protest movement has morphed into a civil war with heavy U.S. and allied bombing raids in support of rebels. Oil exports, once nearly 1.5 million barrels a day, have slowed to a trickle.

While this represents a loss of less than 2 percent of world supplies, it shrinks the world’s excess 4.5-million-barrel-a-day production capacity by about a third.

Colleges profit, students don’t Career-oriented institutions overpromise, say jobless, gravely indebted grads

Institute of Fort Lauderdale grad who could find work only as a stripper — quoted whistle-blowers who charged that academic standards fell and recruitment grew more aggressive when Goldman came in.

Even some students who enrolled before that allege the Art Institute oversold its academic and job-placement programs, a problem made worse when they graduated into the teeth of the economic meltdown of 2008.

Zychal, who moved to Philadelphia from Scranton, Pa., to attend the Art Institute and graduated in June 2008 from the same industrial-design program as Hicks, said that she’s roughly $150,000 in debt — some of that due to housing and other fees — but that her degree has been worthless to her.

“Mostly I didn’t hear back from a lot of people,” she said of her job-seeking experiences, “because mostly they wanted people from accredited schools.” (The Art Institute of Philadelphia is regionally accredited, but course credits commonly are not transferable to other schools.) Zychal also said that most industrial-design shops were using a program called SolidWorks — but that she wasn’t trained in that.

MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

By Will Bunch Philadelphia Daily News

PHILADELPHIA — To paraphrase Steely Dan, the five years at the college didn’t turn out like she planned.

In 2002, Marianne Hicks — bored with her accounts-receivable job and part-time work as a cook, and eager to reinvent herself as an industrial designer — was wooed by a recruiter for the Art Institute of Philadelphia with assurances of job help once she got a degree.

Today, Hicks says, her diploma is about the only thing that she can cling to. Often unemployed since graduating from the forprofit career college in 2007, she’s under the gun from collection agencies for more than $90,000 in student loans that she can’t repay. She’s staying with a brother because she can’t afford her own place, and a sister is mad at her because she co-signed one of the delinquent loans.

“I was just excited I was going back to school — of course, they painted a pretty picture,” said the now 44-year-old Hicks, who admits she didn’t know that her loan balance would grow so high and didn’t grasp the problem that her Art Institute credits mostly can’t be transferred to other schools.

She faults the Philadelphia college for teaching outdated skills, and she said that jobplacement help amounted largely to forwarding some ads from Craigslist.

And she’s not alone: Her classmate Taryn Zychal, with similar complaints, says she owes close to $150,000 and is working in a convenience store when not selling her artwork.

Advocates say that the remarkable thing is that horror stories like those aren’t that unusual.

Thousands of middle-income students who’ve rushed to forprofit career colleges in recent years have been overwhelmed by aggressive recruitment, loose admission policies, overhyped academic programs, a crippled U.S. economy with few jobs — and, finally, their massive taxpayer-funded student debt, with little hope of repayment.

Enrollment soaring At the same time that enrollment at for-profit colleges — many now owned by large, publicly traded firms backed by big banks and investment houses — has soared to 11 percent of U.S. higher education, statistics show that these schools now account for a mind-boggling 48 percent of all defaults on federal student loans.

“Like any sector, what Wall Street rewards is quarterly numbers,” said Pauline Abernathy, a former aide in Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter’s administration who’s now vice president of the Institute for College Access and Success, a nonprofit seeking a clamp-down on abuses by forprofit colleges. “There’s pressure on these schools to increase their ‘new starts’ ” — newly enrolled students — “regardless of whether the students are qualified, or can repay their loans.”

The front line in the skirmish over for-profit colleges has shifted to Washington, where the Obama administration’s Education Department — backed by a coalition of civil rights groups such as the NAACP and the National Council of La Raza — is

Taryn Zychal poses with her dog Jack, who is wearing a dog coat she made from a broken umbrella. Zychal, who owes close to $150,000 for her studies at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, works in a convenience store in addition to selling her artwork online.

“Like any sector, what Wall Street rewards is quarterly numbers. There’s pressure on these schools to increase their ‘new starts’ regardless of whether the students are qualified, or can repay their loans.”

— Pauline Abernathy, vice president, Institute for College Access and Success seeking tough new regulations.

The proposed rules would restrict or even block federal student aid to for-profit colleges that aren’t training enough students for “gainful employment” — that is, jobs in which they’ll earn enough to repay their loans.

Such a rule could not only help future students avoid unmanageable debts but it also has the potential to save U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars, since federal student aid — such as Pell grants and military benefits — is as much as 90 percent or more of the dollars that some for-profit colleges take in, amounting to $26.5 billion annually. So, you would think that GOP lawmakers, who swept the 2010 election with promises of massive costcutting, would be down with that.

Think again.

Instead, legislation aimed at blocking the Obama administration from imposing the rules passed the House with overwhelming Republican support back in February, and although the measure’s prospects seem dim in the Democratic-controlled Senate, the final outcome remains very much in doubt. The industry has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on big-name lobbyists, like former Philadelphia congressman Bill Gray, in a bid to sway the debate.

Student demographics The leading industry group for the career colleges, the Coalition for Educational Success, argues that the high default rates don’t reflect bad faith on the part of the schools but rather their efforts to take a chance on training more poor and working-class students. Officials with the coalition cite studies showing high loan default rates at traditional nonprofit colleges — who would

not be affected by the proposed rules — when students from similar economic backgrounds are singled out.

“Who are the students that are going to our schools?” asked the coalition president, Penny Lee, a former communications chief for former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. “Most are the nontraditional, military or minority students that community colleges or other institutions aren’t serving.”

Perhaps because of its large blue-collar population, Philadelphia is something of a hotbed of career-college education, which tends to offer degrees in job-oriented skills such as photography, computer programming and auto mechanics.

Zychal said she’s had some success recently selling her artwork — recycled umbrellas — but, otherwise, she works as a clerk in a convenience store, “the only job I can get. It’s sad and frustrating.”

Officials from the Art Institute of Philadelphia declined requests for a traditional interview and to talk with students of their choosing. Instead, they e-mailed material that’s given to students saying that it’s “unlikely” that their credits can be transferred, as well as a claim that 87.6 percent of its 2009 grads worked in a field related to their degree, at an average salary of $26,704.

The school also sent handout profiles of two graduates, one employed as a 3-D artist and one working on visual effects for the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire.”

The stats and the handouts are cold comfort to an unemployed grad like Hicks, who said that she finds herself in a bitter Catch22: her student debt — which, unlike a bad mortgage, can’t be used to file for bankruptcy — has trashed her credit rating, which is checked by most prospective employers, making it even less likely that she can find work to pay the money back.

Said Hicks, wistfully: “I expected to be doing better by now.”

Teacher reproved for posting, mocking pupil’s ’do

By Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Chicago Public Schools says a teacher showed poor judgment posting photos of a student on her Facebook page, leading to the child being mocked for her hairstyle on picture day.

The 7-year-old, a student at Overton Elementary School, turned up for photo day last week with Jolly Rancher candies tied at the end of her braids. Her computer teacher allegedly took photos of the child and posted them on her site, where people mocked the hairstyle.

The child’s mother complained to the principal, said school district spokeswoman Monique Bond.

“The principal said this was a good teacher but this was a case of poor judgment,” Bond said.

Lucinda Williams says her daughter saw a picture of a girl wearing Jolly Rancher candies at the end of her braids in a hair salon magazine and begged her mom to give her the hairstyle.

Most of her daughter’s teachers complimented her hair at school, so she didn’t think much of a teacher’s request to take pictures of the hairdo, Williams said.

Williams said the teacher told the child, “My husband is not going to believe this.”

That night, another parent whose child is a Facebook friend of the teacher’s let Williams know that the girl’s photo was on the teacher’s page and people were mocking the hairstyle. The other parent saved both the photos and the comments onto a CD. Williams notified the school principal the next day.

The teacher apologized and said she took down the photos, but Williams says it’s not enough. Her lawyer is preparing a lawsuit against Chicago Public Schools.

The heavy-hitters Among the major companies in career-college education: • The University of Phoenix, the nation’s largest for-profit higher education firm and a publicly traded company • Kaplan University, owned by the Washington Post Corp. (whose flagship newspaper editorializes enthusiastically against stricter federal rules).

• The Art Institute of Philadelphia is owned by the Pittsburghbased Education Management Corp., or EDMC, which has increasingly been embroiled in the controversy over the industry’s practices since the Wall Street behemoth Goldman Sachs helped take the company public and took a 38 percent ownership stake in the late 2000s. Goldman recently paid a $550 million civil penalty over its role in the subprime mortgage crisis but smelled money in the career-college business.

SALEM — A University of Oregon proposal for more independence has been tabled, at least for now.

Gov. John Kitzhaber’s office and university president Richard Lariviere said last week that they agreed the proposal should

be put on hold until next year.

Kitzhaber said his priority this year is creating a kindergartento-grad school board managing all of public education. He told Lariviere that he’s open to reviewing UO’s proposal during the Legislature’s 2012 session.

Lariviere had asked lawmak-

ers to make UO an independent state agency with its own board of directors and funding from a voter-approved endowment. The university is currently part of the Oregon University System and is governed by the State Board of Higher Education with funding controlled by the Legislature.

T S Obama to get Changing Libyan tactics pose problems for NATO a fresh team on war policy LIBYA

By Steven Erlanger

New York Times News Service

PARIS — Angry charges by Libyan rebels that NATO has failed to come to their aid point up a question that has haunted the Western air campaign from the start: how to avoid a stalemate and defeat the Libyan leader without putting foreign troops on the ground.

NATO officials and the French foreign minister, Alain Juppe, rejected the opposition criticism on Wednesday, saying that bad weather and evolving tactics by forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi were limiting the air war, which is supposed to be protecting Libyan civilians and driving Gadhafi’s troops to retreat to their barracks.

In recent days, Gadhafi forces have stepped up their shelling of Misurata, in the west, and pushed rebels back from some eastern oil towns.

The rebels are a largely untrained, disorganized fighting force. But the nature of the battle has also changed since a U.N. resolution authorized “all necessary measures” to protect civilians.

Ben Curtis / The Associated Press

Libyan rebel fighters point to the distance as black smoke rises on the skyline, unseen, near Brega, Libya, on Wednesday. NATO rejected criticism from Libyan rebels over the pace of its military campaign in Libya, saying Wednesday that its airstrikes against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces are increasing every day.

“The military capabilities available to Gadhafi remain quite substantial,” said a senior Pentagon official who watches Libya. “What

this shows is that you cannot guarantee tipping the balance of ground operations only with bombs and missiles from the air.”

The more difficult question is how NATO will respond to the changed tactics of the Gadhafi forces, which now seem to have achieved a stalemate against the combination of Western air power and the ragtag opposition army.

The United States has had CIA agents on the ground with the rebels in eastern Libya for some time, and there are unconfirmed reports that they may be helping to train the rebel army’s raw recruits. Even so, forming a real army that can oust Gadhafi may take many months.

That is one reason that allied governments, including the United States and Britain, are urging defections from the Gadhafi circle and hoping that he will be removed from inside. No official, of course, is willing to talk about any covert mission to remove the colonel, except to say that “regime change” is not authorized by the United Nations.

Francois Heisbourg, a military policy expert at the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris, said, “Given where we are, any deal that removes Gadhafi from the scene is a deal we should take.”

By David Sanger and Thom Shanker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama assembled his first national security team, it was quickly dubbed, not always accurately, the “Team of Rivals.” Now that some of its key members are heading for the exits, the question is whether his next war council could be named the “Corps of Consensus.”

The departure this summer of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, arguably the most powerful voice in the Cabinet, leaves more than an empty seat in the Situation Room. It is a chance for Obama, at a critiA N A LY S I S cal moment in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and amid the Arab uprisings, to rethink the dynamic of the group making some of the most critical decisions in his presidency.

Not long after Gates settles into retirement, the term will expire for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, and Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg announced that he was leaving for an academic job. Also, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that she intends to leave the administration when this term ends.

In filling Gates’ chair, will Obama be looking for a close new partner for Clinton or a dissenter who might challenge the course that is already set?

White House officials, not surprisingly, will not say. They acknowledge that Gates is an unusual figure. Outsiders say that finding someone who replicates each of Gates’ strengths — or his willingness to disagree with policy — will be next to impossible.

From the White House to the Pentagon, names of leading candidates are emerging, but it is unclear if any have deep support in the Oval Office.

The front-runner is clearly the CIA director, Leon Panetta, which could open his job for Gen. David Petraeus, now the commander in Afghanistan.

There is also discussion about whether Gen. James Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs and one of Obama’s favorite strategists, might be promoted to chairman despite concerns among fellow senior officers about his command and decision-making style.

Thomas Donilon, who became national security adviser last fall, could prove influential in some personnel choices. An experienced manager, he appears to have a far closer relationship to Obama than did his predecessor, Gen. James Jones.

Gadhafi sends letter to Obama, endorses president for second term

By Paul Richter McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi sent an unusual personal letter to President Barack Obama, complaining about the West’s “unjust war” against his embattled regime but also endorsing Obama for a second term in the White House.

In a three-page letter Wednesday addressed to “Our son, Excellency, President Obama,” Gadhafi praised the president as a man “who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action.”

The Libyan strongman said his

country had suffered economic embargos and sanctions in the past, as well as airstrikes against his regime during Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

Now, Gadhafi said, NATO is “waging an unjust war against a small people of a developing country.”

Despite the conflict, Gadhafi assured Obama in somewhat garbled English, “You will always remain our son whatever happened. We still pray that you continue to be president of the U.S.A. We Endeavour and hope that you will gain victory in the new election campaigne.”

He signed the letter with his preferred title: Leader of the Revolution.

White House officials didn’t release the text of the letter, saying they don’t want to help the Libyan with his “messaging.”

Asked about the letter, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said only that Gadhafi “knows what he must do” — begin a cease-fire, withdraw his forces and leave Libya.

The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, reminded reporters that the letter was “not the first” from Gadhafi. On March 19, just before U.S. and British ships launched the first cruise missiles against Libyan forces, Gadhafi assured Obama that “even if Libya and the United States

enter into war, God forbid, you will always remain my son.”

Also on Wednesday, Libya said a British airstrike had hit its major Sarir oilfield and damaged a pipeline connecting the deposit to a Mediterranean port.

“British warplanes have ... carried out an airstrike against the Sarir oilfield which killed three oilfield guards, and other employees at the field were also injured,” the wire service Reuters quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim as saying.

There was no immediate official comment from Britain’s Ministry of Defense.

Nelsen Ivory Coast Senate rejects bills opposition to limit EPA’s global SPRING DRIVING SPECIALS pounds at warming efforts strongman ACCRA, Ghana — Opposition forces in Ivory Coast on Wednesday blasted away at the residence of the nation’s strongman, Laurent Gbagbo, hoping to seize him alive for a possible trial after he refused French and U.N. demands to step down.

The all-day assault on Gbagbo’s heavily guarded and well-armed redoubt, complete with tanks and antiaircraft defenses, marked a new and perhaps ultimate phase in the international campaign to dislodge a man who has clung to power long after losing an election and the world’s recognition as a legitimate leader.

As the fighting swelled and ebbed on Wednesday, millions of residents of Abidjan, once one of the world’s major ports, suffered another day of privation. Water, food and electricity all waned on the fifth day of the battle for the city.

Relief officials spoke of a burgeoning humanitarian crisis, as daily life ground to a virtual halt, the streets remained dangerous even for simple shopping trips and armed partisans roamed.

The aim of the opposition assault on Wednesday was “to seize Gbagbo physically and, if he is alive, to bring him to justice,” said Apollinaire Yapi, a spokesman for Alassane Ouattara, who is recognized internationally as the winner of the presidential election last year.

Gbagbo has rejected the outcome, which was endorsed by the U.N., the African Union and other international bodies, a move that reignited civil war.

New York Times News Service ATLANTA — A woman was killed and three other people — including a woman believed to be in her 90s and a 4-year-old girl — were wounded on Wednesday afternoon when a man with a gun walked onto the campus of a community college in Opelika, Ala., and began firing, police said.

Police described the shooting as a case of domestic violence and said they had arrested a suspect, Thomas Franklin May III, 34, Wednesday evening.

A 63-year-old woman, who was shot in the upper body, was killed, said Capt. Allen Elkins of the Opelika police.

The child was injured by glass from a van window shattered by bullets, the police said. A woman

the police believe to be 93 or 94 was shot in her neck and back.

Another woman, 36, was shot in the arm. They were taken to local hospitals, and their conditions were not released.

“This is very rare and very unbelievable,” said Jan Gunter, a community relations specialist with the city.

The college, Southern Union State Community College, whose students often go on to Auburn University, has strong medical programs, Gunter said.

The shooting happened near the health sciences building, and faculty members from the school’s nursing and pharmacy programs ran to help the victims, said Amelia Pearson, the school’s interim president.

WASHINGTON — The Senate Wednesday rejected efforts to block the Environmental Protection Agency’s program to regulate greenhouse gases, defeating four measures that would have limited the agency’s attempts to address global warming.

The Senate voted as the House was debating a measure that would also halt the regulations by repealing the agency’s scientific finding that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are endangering human health and the environment. That bill is expected to pass the House today. President Barack Obama has vowed to veto any such measure if it should reach his desk.

In the Senate, a virtually identical bill sponsored by Sens.

Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and James Inhofe of Oklahoma, both Republicans, was attached

to an unrelated small-business bill. The measure drew 50 votes, including four from Democrats, but fell shy of the 60 needed to avert a filibuster.

Democratic alternatives that would impose less extreme limits on the EPA regulation drew as many as 12 votes, putting the White House on notice that it risks further Democratic defections unless it moderates the scale of its proposed carbon rules.

Obama has opposed any effort that hinders the administration’s efforts to restrict emissions that some scientists say are warming the atmosphere and leading to unpredictable and devastating changes in the global climate.

The White House welcomed the Senate votes in a statement, saying, “The administration is encouraged by the Senate’s actions today to defend the (EPA’s) ability to protect public health under the Clean Air Act.”

Federal workers face prospect of being deemed ‘nonessential’ Budget

Continued from A1 Many oil analysts say that once spare capacity drops below 4 percent of world capacity, prices are likely to firm up. Moreover, nearly all of that spare capacity lies in Saudi Arabia, which has stuck its toe into Bahrain’s troubled political waters and whose king was worried enough about potential unrest to unveil $36 billion in new social programs.

In addition, Libya’s particularly easy-to-refine crude oil — known in the business as light and sweet for the absence of sulfur — is hard to replace. Although Saudi Arabia, already the world’s largest oil exporter, has offered to replace Libyan crude on the market, so far inventories in Europe have declined.

There is also much debate among oil analysts about whether Saudi spare capacity is smaller than it appears. It isn’t clear how much oil Saudi Arabia was producing before the Libya crisis, and some experts doubt

Rexford agreed and said his recommendation would note the committee came to only “minimal consensus.”

Boehme praised the committee and Rexford and Pilot Butte Principal Michael Hecker in

particular.

“We’ve all been through a little bit of a wringer but you two have really taken it,” he said. “Everybody can’t always agree and that’s the nature of these things, but you’ve had some really heated and sometimes unkind things said to you...and I would just say I apologize for that. It was embar-

rassing as a parent and a community member that that happened.

This isn’t a perfect decision here, but I thank you for standing up there and listening to what people had to say. This was a hot topic.”

Saudi claims about being able to crank up to 12.5 million barrels a day from the estimated current level of 9 million barrels a day.

The kingdom has not produced more than 10 million barrels a day for years.

As it has become clear that the fighting in Libya will not come to a quick and relatively bloodless conclusion, analysts and experts have increased their oil price forecasts for 2011.

On March 7, Citigroup’s oil analysts boosted their forecast of the benchmark Brent crude to $105 a barrel, a $15 increase.

On March 8, the federal Energy Information Administration raised its forecast for the average cost of crude oil to refiners to $105 a barrel in 2011, $14 higher than its forecast a month earlier.

And on March 24, Barclays Capital analysts upped their average oil price forecast for West Texas Intermediate to $106 a barrel, up $15. Those averages would top 2008, when prices spiked as high as $147 a barrel.

“A reduced capacity cushion and the fear that spare capac-

ity dips below 4 percent of the market maintains the oil price at $100 into 2012, we believe,” wrote the Citigroup analysts Faisel Khan and Mark Fletcher.

cause of its long-standing crude oil production in Alaska and the North Sea and from half a million barrels a day of refining capacity in the middle of the United States.

The winners If you’re an oil company, this isn’t entirely bad news.

“Any company that produces oil, no matter where they are geographically, is benefiting from the higher risk premium and therefore from higher prices,” Molchanov said.

Exxon, for example, produced 2.5 million barrels a day worldwide during the fourth quarter of last year — none of them in Libya.

Khan and Fletcher told investors that Citigroup was boosting its earnings-per-share estimates for major oil companies by an average of 23 percent for 2011 and 14 percent for 2012. They singled out Marathon, Imperial and ConocoPhillips.

ConocoPhillips, they said, “is in a position to benefit from the current global dislocations” be-

Continued from A1 Each side maneuvered to ensure the other would be blamed if a shutdown occurred.

The negotiations came down to a small amount of money in the context of a $3.5 trillion budget — roughly $7 billion — but were complicated by deeper policy disputes between the parties over spending related to abortion services, health care and the environment.

“This is the first major point where everybody’s trying to understand what the new dynamic is,” said David Winston, a Republican pollster who has advised congressional leaders for years. “Ultimately, the goal is to win, not to just find yourself in a fight.”

The president and the speaker have much to gain — yet perhaps even more to lose — if the government closes down on their watch. Their working relationship has fluctuated somewhere between nonexistent and cordial during the first three months of divided government.

But amid their respective chest-thumping, with Obama accusing Republicans of injecting politics into the debate and Boehner suggesting the president has failed to lead, the political fortunes of both men are oddly intertwined. Their approaches set the stage for a test of their leadership that will provide a roadmap for how they will handle even bigger budget fights ahead.

Obama sought to present himself in the past few days as the man of reason and compromise, a disappointed father figure having to mediate a dispute between two squabbling siblings. It was the latest example of a strategy he has turned to since Democrats experienced a drubbing in the midterm elections last year and he pivots toward his re-election campaign.

“When was the last time you just got your way?” Obama said in an appearance in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, comparing the budget dispute to an effort

After more than four months of debate, the Bend-La Pine Schools’ boundary advisory committee came to a consensus Wednesday on a new middle school boundary for the 2011-12 school year. Below, a look at current boundaries and the proposed changes.

Ave. ell

Continued from A1 Without a boundary change, officials expect enrollment to reach 975 students next year. Officials believe the recommended boundaries would eventually bring Cascade’s enrollment down to 668 students, while increasing Pilot Butte’s enrollment to about 866 students.

Rexford will now pen a draft recommendation, and said he will include a report on the concern many committee members shared: that the difference in socioeconomic status at Cascade and Pilot Butte middle schools is too great.

The committee agreed it will grandfather students, allowing those who currently attend a school to remain there, although the district will not provide transportation to those students. Area change requests will be considered under the district’s existing rules and procedures.

Rexford expects to have a final recommendation to Superintendent Ron Wilkinson by next week.

The committee voted on a fivepoint scale. Committee members in wholehearted agreement with the plan voted with a 5, while those who disliked the plan so much they’d actively sabotage it voted with a 1.

Of the 25 members, 18 supported the plan, while five would not support the plan and two voted that they’d actively sabotage it.

Those who didn’t support the recommendation said it came down to the disparity the new boundaries will create in socioeconomic status at each of the middle schools. Right now, about 29 percent of Cascade Middle School’s students receive freeand reduced-price lunches, while 74 percent of Pilot Butte Middle School’s students do. Under the new plan, officials estimate that would change, bringing Cascade’s free- and reduced-price lunch population down to 16 percent and dropping Pilot Butte’s population down to 67 percent.

That’s too much, opponents said.

“I think a school hums a little bit better when there’s a mishmash of everything,” Carolyn Ervin, the vice principal at Elk Meadow, said.

Jewell vice principal Josh Boehme agreed, citing parent concerns about the ability of a parent-teacher association at Pilot Butte being able to raise the same amount of money for programs as an association at Cascade.

“My biggest concern all along has been the socioeconomic piece,” he said. “When I was at Highland, which is half the size of Jewell, in one night our PTA made more (money) than Jewell can make in a whole year, and that does impact the school. ... I can support this, but it’s been my reservation all along.”

WASHINGTON — At least 800,000 federal workers could get an e-mail or phone call on Friday telling them they are “nonessential.” Just like that, the government can get along fine without them.

Some are crossing their fingers for an order to go home, hoping for some R&R as the deadlock on Capitol Hill continues over how to fund the govern-

sives from agency heads as Friday’s shutdown deadline looms, and no communications from their supervisors about whether employees will be called to work or sent home.

“Should it become necessary to implement our contingency plans, you will receive details from you supervisor regarding your furlough status,” Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue wrote in an employee memo Wednesday afternoon.

shutdowns of the mid-1990s.

“Everything we do is supporting our sons and daughters overseas,” said Sue McCarl, a Defense Department contract manager in Pennsylvania with a son in the Marine Corps.

“We’re hoping as though we’re essential,” she said. “But I’m not sure how the powers that be are making their decisions. It’s not a comfortable position to be in.”

by a married couple to work out its differences. “That’s not the way it works, right?

The fact is you have to make compromises.”

The president is so intent on trying to elevate himself over the partisan feuds of the day that he sometimes refers to Democrats in the third person, as though he is not the leader of the party. It remains an open question whether the distance he seeks to place between himself and Democrats on Capitol Hill — his own version of triangulation — will attract independent voters or antagonize members of his party.

“Republicans and Democrats both start making a lot of speeches,” Obama said. “Usually the Democrats blame the Republicans, the Republicans blame the Democrats.” He added, “I’ve got some Democrats mad at me, but I said, ‘You know what? Let’s get past last year’s budget, let’s focus on the future.’”

The president’s posture toward Congress has steadily shifted from hands-on involvement — he visited Capitol Hill often during his early days in office — to a far more removed approach. The invitation to the White House on Wednesday evening led some Republicans to suggest that he was grandstanding by inserting himself into negotiations after purposefully keeping his distance.

Boehner, whose power as speaker could rise or fall depending on how he handles the budget showdown, must contend with an unruly Republican caucus infused by a Tea Party movement that has already showed a willingness to rebel and to drive the party leadership past its comfort point on fiscal issue.

One of the biggest unresolved issues now is whether Boehner can bring all or most of the Republican freshmen class and its Tea Party-supporting allies along with him if he makes a deal that falls short of the $60 billion in spending cuts they are demanding for this year.

Trickle down The money pouring into the integrated major firms is flowing to oil service companies, too.

Halliburton, whose cement job on the Macondo well has been accused of contributing to the BP oil spill debacle, announced it has experienced “disruptions due to geopolitical issues in certain locations in the Middle East and North Africa” and said it would lower earnings by 3 to 4 cents a share. In 2010, the company earned $1.8 billion, or $1.97 a share, from continuing operations.

Nonetheless, there is so much new drilling taking place that Halliburton stock rose 21 percent in the first quarter. The shares are 48 percent higher than they were the day before the Macondo well exploded, killing 11 people.

WASHINGTON — As a candidate, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler denounced stimulus spending and voted for a Republican budget bill that would make $61 billion in cuts to a vast array of programs this year.

Government overspending is out of control, she said recently in the weekly Republican address, and must be stopped. But perhaps not in her home state of Washington.

There, the Port of Vancouver had been waiting for a $10 million grant, one modeled on a popular program included in the stimulus bill. But the money was rescinded in the Republican spending bill, known as H.R. 1, that passed the House in February but was later defeated in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Port officials appealed to Herrera Beutler, one of 87 freshman Republicans in the House. She agreed to work on the port’s behalf to make sure it got its money before any cuts to the grant program went into effect. The outcome remains unknown.

“We were very concerned,” said Theresa Wagner, a spokeswoman for the port. “Our rail project is incredibly important to us and is our link to additional private investment.”

Herrera Beutler, she said,

has been “incredibly receptive” to their concerns.

Herrera Beutler’s spokesman said the project in her district was small relative to total government spending. “We’re talking about $10 million out of a more than $1 trillion bill,” said the spokesman, Casey Bowman. “There are likely other small cuts made in H.R. 1 that she didn’t fully agree with but she voted to cut spending overall because, as economists have said, cutting federal spending will help economic recovery.”

While scores of congressmen and women are singing an ode to spending reductions with their Republican choir in Washington, back home, the tune sometimes changes.

In town hall meetings and in interviews with local media in recent weeks, some Republican members have been backing away from the cuts made in various spending bills passed by the House. In some cases, they are trying to circumvent the very cuts they voted for.

As House Republicans continue to press Democrats this week for even bigger cuts in a bill to avert a government shutdown, it is likely that more and more members of Congress will face constituents who, while supportive of the concept of cutting federal spending, do not care much for the specifics.

Nuclear agency suspects leak Police learn that from core of Japanese reactor social networking can pose job risks

By Matthew L. Wald and Andrew Pollack

cally all of the core remains in the vessel.”

The agency’s statement was issued after Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., told a House hearing on Wednesday morning that the commission had told him the core had melted through the vessel.

He based that on a question his staff had asked the agency.

But the agency responded to him by e-mail on Tuesday without directly addressing possible melting, saying only that it speculated that “part of the Unit 2 core may be out of the reactor pressure vessel and may be in the lower space of the drywell.”

After the hearing, in response to numerous questions, the agency said that “there are possible leakage paths from the reactor vessel into the drywell.”

It did not say whether the fuel was molten or solid. If molten fuel has left the reactor’s pressure vessel and reached the drywell in substantial quantities, it raises the possibility that the fuel could escape the larger containment structure, leading to a large-scale radioactive release.

A training manual developed by the companies that operate this type of reactor and dated 2009 refers to the possibility of “creep rupture,” in which molten core material begins seeping through a hole in the vessel and creates a bigger hole as it works;

the document says the molten core material can “ablate” a bigger hole. It can then burn through the steel at the bottom of the drywell and interact with the concrete, producing carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which could react explosively.

Some engineers have theorized that if a core melted down and concentrated at the bottom of the vessel, it could melt through the vessel and then burn through the concrete of the foundation.

One element of such an event would probably be a resumption of the nuclear chain reaction, in a molten mass in which no control would be possible because there would be no control rods to slide smoothly between neatly arrayed bundles of fuel.

Other experts say that a resumption of the chain reaction would be difficult or impossible with the type of fuel in use at Fukushima Dai-ichi.

Neither the commission’s response to Markey nor its public statement later in the day outlines such a serious turn of events.

plentiful on major thoroughfares, but most side streets and shops still remain eerily empty.

Sumio Tanaka was able to reopen his sushi restaurant, Satsuki, on Monday for the first time since the earthquake. He said deliveries of food were starting to resume, though he had only a limited amount of fish from the far side of Japan, away from the nuclear plant.

While he did not know of the YouTube video, Tanaka credited the mayor for working hard to get the city back on its still wobbly feet.

“The mayor really put his heart into saving Minamisoma,” said Tanaka, 62.

Indeed, city employees said the video had drawn more attention abroad than in Japan. On a recent morning, a JapaneseAmerican called from California to ask in halting Japanese where to send aid.

Sakurai describes the time when he made the video as the darkest moment in the disaster.

Survivors had not even had time to recover the remains of loved ones from the wreckage of the tsunami when parts of the city were evacuated and people in others were ordered to remain indoors because of the plant accident. Food and fuel were running short as delivery trucks refused to enter within 18 miles of the plant, the area covered by the order to stay indoors.

“It was a terrifying time,” said Takamitsu Hoshi, a City Hall employee. “The furniture was constantly shaking from aftershocks, and we were constantly afraid of another explosion at the nuclear plant.”

Sakurai and other city employees described the video as a final call for help by a city that felt abandoned by the rest of Japan. The mayor said the city had even disappeared from news broadcasts because the reporters stationed in the City Hall press club had all run away.

In the video, titled, “SOS from Minamisoma mayor,” Sakurai spoke urgently of how city hall employees were “working under the threat of radiation.” He asked for volunteers to come to the city’s aid.

“Please help us before the contamination spreads further,” he said.

Sakurai said the idea for the video had come from local residents who came to City Hall to complain that so few volunteers were coming to help and urged him to make an appeal directly on the Internet. He admitted that he was skeptical of the idea at first, having never used YouTube. Still, he said he was desperate enough to try anything, so they shot the video in the mayor’s sparsely furnished meeting room.

“Until now, we waited for the mass media to come here and videotape us,” Sakurai recalled.

“This time, we reversed the process by taking our own video and broadcasting it.”

While Sakurai spoke in Japanese, the resident who took the video, whom city officials said they did not know and could identify by only his family name, Nakata, later added English subtitles. Inquiries to the YouTube account that posted Sakurai’s video were unanswered on Tuesday, and city officials said Nakata was apparently among those

who had fled Minamisoma.

While the video has remained online, Sakurai says the city’s situation has changed for the better since it was made. The city has added text to the video to tell would-be volunteers not to come because of the radiation threat, and asks that aid be sent instead. Food and fuel are flowing into the city again, though some trucking companies still refuse to come too close.

City officials said that more than anything, what the city really needed was for the Japanese government and the Tokyo Electric Power Co. to get the nuclear plant under control. Then the city can get on with the difficult work of cleaning up and rebuilding.

“We could have bounced back much more quickly if it were not for this nuclear accident,” said Hoshi, the City Hall employee. “It’s frustrating that our city’s fate rests in someone else’s hands.”

aware of the difficulties of his or her dual role.

“If a judge is ruling on motions and admissibility of evidence, that means he’s going to have heard all of the inadmissible evidence, if there is any in a case.

Practically, that’s sort of in the back of a judge’s mind,” Perkins said. “You can’t really get it out of your mind. You try to — in making a decision, of course, you don’t consider that — but still you heard it. How can you forget it? You really can’t.”

Tiktin, Perkins added, is regarded as an experienced and professional judge, and is wellsuited to handle the demands of the Middlekauff case.

Former Deschutes County District Attorney Mike Dugan said he wouldn’t approach a trial before a judge any differently than a trial before a jury as a prosecutor, but the decision to go one way or the other can be critical from the perspective of the defendant.

A likable defendant might want to try his chances with a jury, Dugan said, as a judge is generally less likely to be swayed by appeals to emotion or the personality of a defendant or defense attorney.

“If I’m guilty of a crime, I want to go before a jury because you have a better chance of confusing a jury and maybe I’m found not guilty,” Dugan said. “If I’m not guilty of a crime, I would prefer to have a judge decide that, because you have less chance the judge will be fooled by the white elephant that walks across the back of the courtroom.”

Edmonds and Perkins both said a judge will often process

the information introduced during a trial differently than a jury.

Jurors have a tendency to believe the version of events presented by police over a nonpolice witness when considering disputed evidence, Perkins said, and will often give greater weight to testimony presented by physically attractive witnesses.

Defense attorneys develop a good sense of how individual judges run their courtrooms and the success rates of different prosecutors, Perkins said, and will consider who they’re up against when deciding if a case should go before a judge or a jury.

Edmonds agreed that juries are generally more willing to consider appeals to emotion or the personalities of prosecutors and defense attorneys, but said juries rarely have reached a verdict he questioned.

“All of us who’ve tried cases before juries as trial lawyers, we don’t remember all the cases in which the jury got it right, we just remember the one we think we should have won and in fact we lost,” Edmonds said. “On balance, both in my experience as a trial lawyer as well as a prosecutor and as a trial judge, I thought the juries got it right. It’s not a perfect system, but its probably the best imperfect system that exists in the jurisdictions throughout the world.”

Tiktin is scheduled to announce his verdict in the Middlekauff case at 1:30 p.m.

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Wednesday that some of the core of a stricken Japanese reactor had probably leaked from its steel pressure vessel into the bottom of the containment structure, implying the damage was even worse than previously thought.

The statement came as the Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, started to inject nitrogen into the reactor containment vessel of unit No. 1 to prevent a possible explosion.

The NRC’s statement regarded unit No. 2, and the agency underscored that its interpretation was speculative and based on high radiation readings that Tokyo Electric had found in the lower part of unit No. 2’s primary containment structure, called the drywell. The statement said that the commission “does not believe that the reactor vessel has given way, and we do believe practi-

Japan Continued from A1 It has since drawn more than 200,000 viewers. Almost two weeks later, the city hall is still getting phone calls, most from non-Japanese calling from abroad with offers to help. The city has also received hundreds of boxes of food and other supplies from individuals, and truckloads of relief goods from nonprofit organizations.

“It’s amazing how many of these donors say they saw us on YouTube,” said Noriyoshi Saito, who works in the City Hall economic section and is in charge of handling donated goods.

Sakurai described the online plea as a turning point in Minamisoma’s struggle against the triple disaster, which for a time had transformed this city of 75,000 people into a virtual ghost town. Some 50,000 residents fled in the first two weeks after the earthquake, though a small number have begun trickling back.

Sakurai credited the largescale response to his video with helping those who remained in the stricken city to carry on.

“Suddenly, the world was extending its hand to us,” said Sakurai, 55, an energetic man who still wears the same beige uniform as in the video, but now smiles and seems more relaxed.

“We learned we’re not alone.”

Today, the city is slowly coming back to life. While the order to stay indoors remains in place, many of the remaining residents have begun to ignore it. Gas stations and convenience stores are starting to reopen. Cars are now

Nonjury Continued from A1 Judges must rule on the admissibility of evidence throughout the case, then weigh the evidence to reach a verdict.

In the four years since Middlekauff was arraigned, Tiktin has considered dozens of motions from Middlekauff over the admissibility of certain evidence, public access to the courtroom during his trial, and his treatment at the Deschutes County Jail. After nearly eight weeks of arguments from the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office and Middlekauff’s defense team, the trial came to a close on March 28.

Walt Edmonds, a Deschutes County Circuit Court judge for 14 years and a judge with the Oregon Court of Appeals for another 21, said a nonjury trial forces a judge to divide his or her thinking about the case into two separate compartments.

“What I tried to do was to make all the legal decisions during the trial in one compartment, and withhold any kind of judgement on the facts until all the evidence was in and closing arguments were made. And then I went back into chambers and in this separate compartment, I looked solely at the facts and asked the question whether I was persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty.”

Former Judge Ed Perkins, who served on the Deschutes County Circuit Court from 1979 until his retirement last year, said a judge in a nonjury trial is keenly

Officer Trey Economidy of the Albuquerque police now realizes that he should have thought harder before listing his occupation on his Facebook profile as “human waste disposal.”

After he was involved in a fatal on-duty shooting in February, a local television station dug up the Facebook page. Economidy was placed on desk duty, and last month the Albuquerque Police Department announced a new policy to govern officers’ use of social networking sites.

Social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter can be valuable assets for law enforcement agencies, helping them alert the public, seek information about crimes and gather evidence about the backgrounds of criminal suspects.

But the Internet can also get police departments into trouble.

Public gaffes like Economidy’s — his cynical job description on Facebook was “extremely inappropriate and a lapse in judgment on my part,” he said last week in an e-mail — are only one of the risks. A careless posting on a networking site, law enforcement experts say, can endanger an officer’s safety, as it did in Santa Monica, Calif., last year when the Police Department went to great lengths to conceal a wounded officer’s identity and location, only to have a retired officer inadvertently reveal them on Facebook.

And defense lawyers increasingly scour social networking sites for evidence that could impeach a police officer’s testimony. In one case in New York, a jury dismissed a weapons charge against a defendant after learning that the arresting officer had listed his mood on MySpace as “devious” and wrote on Facebook that he was watching the film “Training Day” to “brush up on proper police procedure.”

In an Arkansas case, a federal appeals court cited as evidence of a police officer’s character photos he posted on MySpace showing him pointing a gun at the camera, flanked by a skull and the legend “the PUNISHER.” Most social media policies try to balance a police department’s interests against First Amendment protections for the officers. Many include prohibitions against posting any statements that could discredit or reflect badly on a department, that illustrate reckless behavior or that disparage people based on race, religion or sexual orientation. Posting crime scene photos or other evidence from criminal cases online is also prohibited by most policies.

Others go further. Albuquerque’s policy, for example, prohibits officers from identifying themselves as employees of the Police Department or posting photos of departmental insignia — badges, uniforms, cruisers — without permission. And a recent policy by the Police Department in Pueblo, Colo., bans gossiping online with outsiders about department affairs.

Police officials say that the courts have generally upheld restrictions on the speech of government employees when the speech is job related.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has spoken on it so often that the parameters are fairly well defined,” said Martha Stonebrook, senior city attorney in Salt Lake City, who was a co-author of a paper on social networking in law enforcement given at the international police chiefs association’s annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., last year. In one famous 2004 case, the Supreme Court upheld the firing of an officer who filmed himself stripping off a police uniform and masturbating and sold the video on eBay’s adultsonly area, using the name Codestud3@aol.com.

Like GOP, Obama taking aim at early primary states

By Charles Babington The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Even without a Democratic challenger, President Barack Obama is planning an aggressive role in early primary states. His operatives are already moving in, organizing volunteers and raising money to answer Republican attacks and do what they can to weaken the GOP’s strongest challengers.

With the election 19 months away, Obama’s campaign could keep a low profile while Republicans pummel each other. But he won’t be content to watch passively as his potential rivals duke it out.

Three of the earliest-voting states — Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada — will also be strongly contested in the fall of 2012.

Likely Republican candidates already are assailing Obama there, and his aides say they can’t wait months to respond.

“Issues are going to be joined there, statements are going to be made, points are going to be raised,” top Obama adviser David Axelrod said in an interview.

“It behooves us to make sure that facts are well represented.”

“One can’t be passive here,” Axelrod said.

Democratic insiders say there’s another reason for Obama’s team to engage in early primary states, including South Carolina, which the president has little chance of winning in the general election: By strategically stirring the pot, his backers may manage to undermine those Republicans seen as most likely to give him a tough fight next year.

Democrats note that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada drew a relatively weak Republican challenger last year, Sharron Angle, after his organization ran a virtual campaign against Sue Lowden, who was considered the stronger GOP contender. Angle beat Lowden in the Republican primary, then lost narrowly to Reid.

The president may have to be more subtle than that, but independent groups not connected to his campaign won’t have to.

Democratic officials say the Obama campaign efforts are extraordinary, especially so early and for a president with no party challenger. The strategy reflects Democrats’ belief that Obama can again raise huge sums of money, giving his operatives the luxury of starting now and competing in states where the spotlight ordinarily would fall on Republicans alone.

Indeed, Obama and his aides already have taken potshots at potentially strong challengers, extolling them in ways likely to displease partisan Republicans. The president, with a twinkle in his eye, likes to tell voters that former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman served the administration admirably as U.S. ambassador to China.

And White House aides frequently cite former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as an inspiration for Obama’s historic health care overhaul, which many Republican activists detest. That’s hardly welcome praise for Romney, who already must often defend his Massachusetts plan. It ranks among the highest hurdles he will face for the GOP nomination.

Democratic National Committee officials acknowledge that they recently urged Massachusetts to push its Democratic and Republican primaries, now scheduled for March 6, to a later date. Republicans say Democrats want to hurt Romney by letting less friendly, more conservative states influence the primary season’s early stages. Massachusetts officials have shown little interest in the DNC request.

Meanwhile, potential Republican presidential contenders have proved Axelrod’s point about attacks by repeatedly criticizing Obama in Iowa, where the GOP caucus is tentatively set for Jan. 16, and in New Hampshire, whose primary comes eight days later.

“The ultimate arrogance, in my opinion, is Obama-care,” Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., recently told a Des Moines crowd.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another possible GOP presidential candidate, ripped Obama’s foreign policies at a New Hampshire stop. He said that for now, at least, all the Republican contenders should focus on Obama, not each other.

Each time a reporter invited him to criticize Romney’s health care record, Gingrich replied calmly, “You’ll have to ask Governor Romney about that.”

Fox News to end Glenn Beck’s show

By Scott Collins and Melissa Maerz Los Angeles Times

Beck’s ratings fell 32 percent for the first three months of 2011, according to the Nielsen Co.

LOS ANGELES — Completing a swift rise and fall from TV stardom, controversial host Glenn Beck will lose his once-popular Fox News show later this year, the network announced Wednesday.

Beck’s program, which airs at 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. Pacific Daylight

Time, earned scorn from liberals for its attacks on President Barack Obama as well as its devotion to obscure right-wing thinkers. It was a top cable draw in 2009 and a signpost for the populist “tea party” movement, which dealt a ballot-box rebuke to Obama in November.

But ratings plummeted and advertisers bailed as Beck — a cherubic,

salt-and-pepper-haired longtime radio host who has compared himself to a rodeo clown — increasingly pursued a hard-to-follow agenda that many found too conspiracy-minded.

He also chafed his bosses at Fox News, who faulted him for spending too much time on his far-flung business operations and not enough on honing his TV presentation.

The two sides cobbled together a diplomatically worded statement Wednesday that noted Beck would “transition off” his daily program but stressed that the host and Fox News had reached a new deal for future, asyet-unspecified projects. Joel Cheatwood, a senior Fox News executive, was hired away to help run Beck’s company, Mercury Radio Arts.

The labor protections — included in an agreement to be signed today in a meeting between President Barack Obama and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos — commit Colombia to a strict timetable of steps to be taken by the end of the year.

The government agreed to eliminate by July 30 a backlog of requests by union members for special protection; to hire 95 police investigators by the end of the year to help prosecute anti-union violence; and to implement by June, two years ahead of schedule, regulations that fine businesses for using subsidiaries and other affiliates to thwart collective bargaining.

LISBON, Portugal — Portugal’s caretaker government gave in to market pressures on Wednesday and joined Greece and Ireland in seeking an emergency bailout. The decision came after the government was forced to pay much higher rates to sell more debt.

Jose Socrates, Portugal’s prime minister, said in a televised address Wednesday night that he had requested aid from the European Commission after recognizing

“I had always considered outside

aid as a last-recourse scenario,” he said. “I say today to the Portuguese that it is in our national interest to take this step.”

Portugal will probably need about 75 billion euros ($106.5 billion) in assistance, according to a recent estimate by Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg, who presides over meetings of euro zone ministers. Some analysts have suggested the amount could be as much as 100 billion euros.

A Portuguese bailout has long been expected, but the speed with which things moved Wednesday appeared to have taken European officials in Brussels by surprise, leaving the timetable unclear. European leaders have been working to keep the financial contagion from spreading.

After declining nearly across the board last year, rent on apartments and houses of all sizes in Bend and Redmond has started to increase and the number of vacant units has started to decline, according to a recent survey.

The reason: the economy, which also affects nearly every other aspect of Central Oregon’s housing and real estate market.

A year ago, some apartment complexes had 25 percent of their units vacant, said Lawnae Hunter, president of the Central Oregon Rental Owners Association. Much of that excess supply has now been reduced.

Homeowners who lost their houses to foreclosures and short sales make up a portion of new renters on the market, and, Hunter said, some people wanting to downsize choose to rent rather than buy.

Investors are putting a significant premium on young, visionary entrepreneurs who grew up with the Internet and now seem best positioned to direct the future of the social and mobile Web. Generally in their mid-20s or early 30s, today’s startup founders are becoming more assertive in funding rounds, securing better terms and, in many cases, cashing out part of their investments well before an initial public offering.

GE to build largest U.S. solar panel plant SAN FRANCISCO — In a move that could shake up the U.S. solar industry, General Electric plans to announce today that it will build the nation’s largest photovoltaic panel factory, with the goal of becoming a major player in the market.

The plant, whose location has not been determined, will employ 400 workers and create 600 related jobs, according to GE. The factory would annually produce solar panels that would generate 400 megawatts of energy, the company said, and would begin manufacturing thin-film photovoltaic panels made of a material called cadmium telluride in 2013. While less efficient than conventional solar panels, thin-film photovoltaics can be produced at a lower cost and have proven attractive to developers and utilities building large-scale power plants.

SAN FRANCISCO — Bank of America, Wells Fargo and fellow mortgage servicers are more likely to dodge a threatened $20 billion in penalties for faulty foreclosures after federal agencies cut ahead of the states by signing deals without fines.

A task force of 50 state attorneys general already was arguing inter-

nally over proposed sanctions when people familiar with the talks said the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. began making the deals. While the U.S. watchdogs may yet seek fines, the pacts ease pressure on the banks and erode states’ leverage, said Gilbert Schwartz, a former Fed attorney.

“This puts the attorneys general in

an uncomfortable position,” because it reduces the list of outstanding demands and helps firms show progress in fixing lapses, said Schwartz, a partner at law firm in Washington who is not involved in negotiations.

“By settling with the banking agencies, it sets the upper limit on what the banks would be willing to do.

This seems to have drawn a line in the sand.”

Sunriver man files suit after allegedly eating a Bend Burger King burger with wire in it

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

A Sunriver man alleges in a lawsuit filed in Deschutes County that a cheeseburger bought at a southeast Bend Burger King restaurant contained a piece of wire he accidentally swallowed.

Scott Mann, 26, has sustained “damage to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and other soft tissue of the mouth, esophagus, stomach and small intestine,” in addition to “perforation of the small intestine, requiring open abdominal surgery,” according to the complaint filed March 15 in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

The complaint lists economic damages of $46,363.21 and estimates Mann’s future medical costs to be $50,000. It seeks $1.5 million in noneconomic damages.

Officials at Breckenridge Food Systems Inc., the California company identified as the defendant in the complaint, could not be reached for comment.

Ed Rebella, human resources director for Synergy Pacific Management of Irvine, Calif., which provides administrative support to the Burger King franchise, said Breckenridge is the company named in the insurance policy for the Burger King franchise.

“We can’t make any comment on pending litigation, and we are proud of the quality and safety of the food that’s served in the restaurant,” Rebella said.

Thousands quack at noisy casting call for AFLAC duck

Dish Network Corp. won the auction for Blockbuster Inc. with a bid valued at $228 million in cash. Analysts are split on whether Dish will keep any Blockbuster stores open. Only 2,400 remain, down from a peak of 9,100 in 2004.

By Jia Lynn Yang The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is poised to make a decision that could fundamentally alter Google’s relationship with the federal government.

Antitrust officials are pushing Google to accept limits on its behavior in exchange for government approval of the search giant’s purchase of travel software firm ITA, according to people familiar with the matter. Such an agreement would require ongoing monitoring by government antitrust officials — a first for Google — just as scrutiny of the firm heats up from regulators in the United States and Europe.

Google could still walk away from the deal altogether, or fight the government in court. A decision from Justice could come within a week or so, but some sources cautioned that negotiations could drag out longer.

No matter what, though, Google is facing new regulatory realities after 13 years of operating largely free from government intervention.

Last week the Federal Trade Commission announced a major settlement with Google requiring regular audits of the firm following complaints the company violated privacy agreements with users when it launched its Buzz socialnetworking product.

Avoiding oversight How Google handles negotiations with Justice over the $700 million ITA merger is a test for new chief executive Larry Page, who took over Monday. He follows Eric Schmidt, a politically savvy executive who worked at Sun Microsystems while it battled Microsoft during the software giant’s seminal antitrust case.

“One of the reasons Google has played hardball so much is clearly they don’t like the idea of government oversight,” said a senior official familiar with the company who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely about the issue.

So far, the company has not faced an official investigation from the two U.S. agencies charged with preserving fair competition, the Justice Department and the FTC. Google has also seen two major acquisitions of Internet advertising firms approved by the government: DoubleClick in 2008 and AdMob in 2010. The company walked away from a merger with Yahoo in 2008 when it became clear Justice was willing to go to court to block the deal.

Increasing scrutiny But with every deal it proposes, officials have been getting a better look at the company’s inner workings.

Attaching strings to the ITA deal could wedge the door open even wider for antitrust officials, allowing them to study the company for a longer period of time and perhaps gather evidence for a broader case.

The European Union has already launched an investigation into Google’s business and has fielded complaints from companies, including Microsoft, that Google is leveraging its dominant search engine to block competitors.

Google has long argued that its search competitors are “one click away” and that consumers stick with Google because it offers better products.

Critics say Justice should block the ITA deal because the company owns the technology that powers the majority of online flight searches.

Orbitz, Microsoft’s Bing and Kayak all rely on ITA. At the very least, the companies have argued, antitrust officials should require Google to continuing licensing ITA’s product — especially since Google has ambitions of launching its own travel search engine. These companies also worry that Google will rank its travel product higher in its main search results.

AFLAC duck hopefuls audition in New York. Clockwise from top left: David Kaplan, Gary Jenkins, Constance Nugent and Kenneth Johnston.

Auditions held in 6 major cities, online to replace Gottfried

By Stuart Elliott New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — It sounds like the setup for a punch line: A man walks into a room and quacks like a duck, then so does another and another and. ...

For about 650 hopefuls in six cities, the premise was no joke.

They were auditioning Monday and Tuesday to be the new voice of the duck character in advertisements for the insurer AFLAC. The live auditions — in Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Chicago; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; and New York — were in addition to 11,200 video and audio auditions accepted on a website, quackaflac.com. Executives of AFLAC and the Kaplan Thaler Group, the advertising agency that created the duck in 1999, also enlisted Monster.com, the job-search website, to help.

The auditions came after the firing of the comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who had supplied the duck’s voice since the campaign began. AFLAC dismissed Gottfried on March 14 after he posted to his Twitter account a series of jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

AFLAC executives were not amused, particularly because about 75 percent of their revenue comes from the Japanese market.

“We all agreed we didn’t have any choice,” Daniel Amos, chairman and chief executive of AFLAC in Columbus, Ga., said in a telephone interview. “I know Gottfried has apologized and all that, but we just couldn’t have it.”

‘AFLAC Idol’ AFLAC and Kaplan Thaler decided to turn the page by turning to the public to find a replacement voice. Amos was inspired by the memory of an unusual company survey: “A third of all the people we talked to quacked ‘AFLAC,’ ” he said, rather than saying the name.

“It made total sense to put it out on a national level because a lot of people think they can do it,” Amos said, adding quickly, “I’m not one of them.”

Gary Gray, however, is. On Tuesday, Gray, 56, was at the Madison Avenue office of Beth Melsky Casting, a company helping with the auditions. Gray, who said he had flown in that morning from Adrian, Mich., was among 50 people scheduled to audition, about the same number who auditioned in New York on Monday.

“I have two duck voices,” Gray said after his audition. He proceeded to demonstrate. One sounded like the AFLAC duck, who, thanks to Gottfried’s comic touch, usually managed to seem all at once aggrieved, frustrated and lovable. The other sounded like Donald Duck.

“If you’re over 50, you do Donald Duck” in addition to the AFLAC duck, said Laura Kane, a vice president at AFLAC who attended the New York auditions.

“We have to explain we’re not looking for Donald,” she added, “and we’re not looking for a Gilbert Gottfried imitator.”

Another problem was pronunciation. As familiar as the duck’s quack may be to millions of television viewers, some of those auditioning had to be reminded not to say “Affleck,” as in the name of the actor Ben Affleck.

The nondescript room in the casting office in which the New York auditions were conducted was crowded with people and video and audio equipment. Each participant in the “AFLAC Idol” auditions was positioned in front of a microphone on a stand.

The Kaplan Thaler team that created the duck — Tom Amico, a copywriter and creative director, and Eric David, an art director and creative director — were the principal judges, helped by Shadd Sutton, a Melsky casting director.

Amico and David made small talk as they sought to relax the participants and direct their performances, which lasted three to five minutes each.

As Max Wyeth, 23, began to audition, Amico joked about the AFLAC duck meeting the oncelost Bronx Zoo cobra.

David, seeking a high-decibel quack, told Wyeth: “Now a really big, loud one. Let them hear you

on 23rd Street. Stretch out the second syllable.”

Amico also had some advice.

“So take your hands out of your pockets, and try really putting your whole self into it,” he told Wyeth.

Someone who performed with the requisite energy was Michael LaChance, 44, of Farmington, Conn., who started by declaring, “This is a ‘Rocky’ movie for me.”

Then he imitated actors from “Rocky” and segued into impressions of the duck as Sylvester Stallone and Sammy Davis Jr. LaChance concluded by quacking, “AFLAC, hire me,” then demurred, “I lost my voice on Saturday.”

Amico and David reassured him in unison, “It’s good, it’s good.”

A big country There was another audition, then a lull to await a final candidate before the lunch break.

“Meryl Streep is late,” Amico said, deadpan. “How long should we wait for her?”

During the lull, he and David reflected on the search.

“We had an amazing woman this morning,” David said, “and a guy from Brooklyn yesterday who calls himself ‘the bubble gum man.’ ” “It’s a big country,” he added.

Amico interjected, “You don’t realize how big till you have to listen to 11,000 auditions.”

In addition to attending the live auditions, the two are reviewing the online submissions during the evening.

“Some follow instructions; some don’t,” David said. “One says: ‘I’m here for the audition for AFLAC. AFLAC.’ And that’s the end of the tape.”

The executives from AFLAC and Kaplan Thaler, part of the Publicis Groupe, hope to have a winner in about a month. The new announcer will be paid in the low six figures, Kane said.

The material gathered in the audition process “is great stuff,” she added, and may be used for commercials on television or online, in social media like Facebook and for internal meetings.

Online gaming’s ‘virtual economy’ a boon to Asia, World Bank says

By Ian Shapira The Washington Post

A World Bank study to be released Thursday finds that the online gaming industry has grown into a $3 billion business that provides living wages to migrant workers in Asia who play games all day, amass virtual currency and sell it to wealthy customers in the Western world for actual cash.

The report also highlights an emerging industry in which companies seeking to boost their brands’ popularity pay low-skilled workers abroad to become their Facebook fans or Twitter followers.

The study, titled “Knowledge Map of the Virtual Economy,” is the World Bank’s first in-depth look at the impact of online gam-

ing and social media in the developing world. Vili Lehdonvirta, a co-author of the report, cautioned that the bank shouldn’t pour its money into the industry, because he said the deal-making violates some of the game publishers’ terms of service and amounts to cheating.

Known as “gold farming,” the game-playing profession took off in the early 2000s with games such as “World of Warcraft” and has evolved into a complex industry.

Low-educated laborers in Asia spend hours each day advancing through levels of an online game, picking up gold, swords and gems that enhance a player’s status. Then gaming studios, which employ the players, sell those virtual goods to

online retailers. Finally, the retailers sell those items to more than 120 million players worldwide, many of them in North America and Europe, who are unwilling to play the games all day to gather the items on their own.

The bank’s report indicates that online gaming has a positive impact in Asia because 70 percent of the industry’s revenue remains in the gaming countries, with most of that money going to the gaming studios. Compared with the $70 billion coffee market — in which only a small fraction of the revenue remains in the beangrowing countries — the gaming industry has a “much better development impact,” the report concludes.

Maybe it’s TV shows such as “Hoarders,” where the accumulation of household goods gets trashy and downright embarrassing.

Whatever the reason, Americans are re-evaluating their relationship with their stuff.

There’s too much of it. It clutters our lives. And many of us are saying we’ve had enough.

Tammy Borman lives in Zebulon, N.C., with her husband, Duane, and three children ages 8, 9 and 15. She works for Home Depot. He works for a roofing supply company.

About a year ago, the family had a house fire. Working with the insurance company, Borman was required to list the entire contents of her home on paper.

“It kind of made you look back and say, ‘You know, this is incredible,’” she said. “We have a thick book of just page after page of stuff, and when you have three kids, stuff tends to pile up quick.”

The family didn’t lose everything in the fire and was eventually able to move back into the home, but the Bormans’ attitude had changed. They have had two yard sales and are preparing for a third.

“We’re trying to look at each purchase and ask, ‘Do we need it?’” Tammy Borman said.

Families such as the Bormans are moving toward decluttering for various reasons. They’re feeling the continued pinch of the economy. They’re prioritizing long-term financial goals above instant gratification. And even while consumers begin to loosen their purse strings just a little, they’re just sick of having so much stuff cluttering their already-busy lives.

Reining in the excess Decluttering isn’t new, of course. This yearning to simplify life rears its head at least once every decade — often in reaction to periods of excess. Americans in the past few decades have become defined by big homes, luxury cars and the other things they own.

“We have gone so big for so long. It gets to a point where you start to evaluate if the things you are adding to your life are bringing meaning,” said Mary Carlomagno, a professional organizer and author of “Live More, Want Less: 52 Ways to Find Order in Your Life.”

One small sign that consumers are shifting away from accumulation: Last year was Carlomagno’s best year in business.

Other, larger indicators include that conspicuous consumption is declining: • The average size of new homes fell to 2,377 square feet last year, down from a peak of 2,520 square feet in 2007, according to census data. That is projected to fall to 2,150 square feet by 2015, according to a recent survey of home building professionals.

• We’re saving more — more than 5 percent of income last quarter from less than 2 percent in the fall of 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.

• We’re paying off our debts.

Consumer debt has fallen by $922 billion, or 7.4 percent, since its peak in the fall of 2008, according to a Federal Reserve report released in November.

• We’re spending less. Consumer spending decreased 2.8 percent in 2009, the most current figures available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It was the first time since the bureau started tracking in 1984 that there had been a drop from the previous year.

Redefining happiness And there are now more than 4,900 Freecycle groups across the country; these online forums allow people to give away used clothes, housewares and electronics to avoid sending them to

Tips from the pros Are you trying to purge your own belongings or help a family member? Here are some tips from professional organizers Janice Russell and Mary Carlomagno: • If someone has a collection of items, ask if they could pick the top few items from the collection to represent the whole collection. But phrase your question carefully. Talk about choosing the top five items rather than choosing 25 that will go.

• Never say “toss” or “trash” unless the other person uses it first.

• Just start. Waiting for perfect conditions will only delay the work.

• One thorough cleaning is often not the solution. It’s an evolution.

the landfill.

One of those Freecycle members is Tonya Willett, a mother of three boys who uses Freecycle to regularly purge and organize her 850-square foot Raleigh home. When she first found it three years ago, she said, “I thought, ‘What a neat idea. Who doesn’t have stuff that they end up throwing away because they don’t have someone to give it to?’”

Last week, she decided to better organize a spare bedroom where the boys play video games.

The top of the bunk beds — a set she originally got using Freecycle — was becoming a repository for everybody’s stuff. So Willett used Freecycle to get rid of the bunk beds and find a twin-size bed frame for that room instead.

People such as Willett are changing their definition of happiness, said David Wann, author of “Simple Prosperity: Finding Real Wealth in a Sustainable Lifestyle.”

He said, “Happiness is really about health, enjoyment of activities and connection with people.”

A permanent change?

Consumers tend to go back and forth between consumerism and purging, said Chris Farrell, author of “The New Frugality: How to Consume Less, Save More, and Live Better.”

During every recession, Farrell said, Americans vow to be more frugal but once the economy improves they save less and borrow more.

But this time, Farrell believes there has been a more permanent change. “People got really scared,” he said. Their jobs are insecure. Their homes are underwater. They are struggling to pay off debt.

Michelle Bryant is trying to teach her two children about money, having too much stuff and the value of family experiences all at once.

Her family lives in Clemmons, about 120 miles west of Raleigh, and has been trying to eliminate unused items from their home since the fall. All the money made from selling items will go into a fund for a Disney World vacation.

A stay-at-home mother who quit her job three years ago to spend more time with her children, Bryant said she just began to feel like there was too much stuff in their home.

The trip to Disney World seems like a worthwhile goal and gives her children, ages 9 and 11, a goal to work toward and an appreciation of what things cost. Already, the family has saved $800 of the $3,000 they estimate the trip will cost.

“When there’s too much clutter, I don’t feel like I can get anything done,” Bryant said. “Not only is it physical clutter, it’s also spiritual clutter. I don’t want to spend my whole life cleaning. ... I’m thinking by fall, we’ll be able to go to Disney World.”

The best way to enjoy the reward: Strictly limit the budget for buying souvenirs.

In many respects, Bernardo Mainou, 31, and Natalie Thornburg, 34, are representative of a broad swath of couples in their 30s.

Married four years, they had their first child in February.

They are well-educated, and both are embarked on their careers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. They have some concerns about their long-term job security — their research is financed by a five-year grant.

And with 10 weeks of combined maternity and paternity leave, they are nervous about the options and costs of child care for their son.

They have a little bit of savings, but they also have three credit cards with a total of about $35,000 of debt on them. They bought a three-bedroom house 20 minutes from work in 2007, for $167,000 with no money down, and a mortgage with a rate that adjusts every two years.

Mainou said they had paid the mortgage down by $12,000, but according to Zillow, the real estate website, their house is worth only $148,500.

Yet when discussing their debt burden and a house worth less than they paid for it, they accept their situation and blame no one else for it. They are putting all their extra money toward paying down their credit cards each month.

The only hint of anger Mainou showed was toward Citibank, which raised the rate on one card to 18.99 percent from 12.99 percent, even though Mainou said he had never missed a payment.

“This is my debt, and I’m going to pay it off,” Mainou said of the credit card bills. “I didn’t qualify for any student loans, and I was a young guy living beyond my means.”

Nor is Thornburg concerned about the drop in the value of their home. For her, the house represents stability after many years of renting in college and graduate school, and she said she hoped its value would rebound in case they had to sell it in a few years.

“I just want to break even,” she said. “Paying $1,100 a month on a mortgage was better than paying $1,100 to someone else for rent.”

Formative experiences They both said their attitudes toward money were formed when they were young.

Thornburg described herself as “middle middle class” with two brothers, a father who worked as a scientist and a mother who stayed at home. Her upbringing in Pittsburgh was modest, she said, yet she had all she needed.

Spouses Bernardo Mainou and Natalie Thornburg with their 5-month-old son, Tyler, at their home in Nashville, Tenn., on March 20. The couple’s financial adviser suggests that instead of focusing on their credit card debt, they should instead focus on increasing their emergency fund, taking out life and disability insurance and paying off all nonmortgage debt.

“I hate, hate, hate to think about money,” she said. “I really just want to have enough so we have enough food on our table and a safe home. I want to be able to live well and retire.” She added, “Having more money is never going to make me any happier.”

Mainou, who grew up in Mexico City, said his father had made a good living for quite a while, but lost his film business during the peso devaluation and recession in the mid-1990s.

Then the family learned that his father had saved little.

“It was always spend now, think about the future later,” he said. “I inherited some of those traits, but I became more conservative with my money and thinking about the future.”

When they considered their finances, Mainou and Thornburg’s top priorities were working their way out of credit card debt, saving in case something went wrong and figuring out child care come May, when their time off ends. The child care alone could range from $600 to $1,200 a month depending on where they place their son.

Adjusting priorities While all their concerns are valid, said Liz Durrell, a certified financial planner with LPL/ Financial Advocates in Portland, their top priorities should be different.

The couple should instead focus on increasing their emergency fund, taking out life and disability insurance and paying off all nonmortgage debt, start-

ing with the smallest piece and working their way up, said Durrell, 30, who has worked with many young academics at Portland State University.

“The emergency fund is No. 1,” she said. “Clients say if I’m paying down more on my credit cards, then it’s there when I need it. No, it’s not. Banks could reduce their credit limits. The only thing that is there is cash.”

Insurance is necessary now because Mainou and Thornburg have a child, Durrell said, suggesting term life insurance with coverage of at least $600,000.

That could cost as little as $50 a month, given the couple’s ages and occupations.

Durrell also recommended disability insurance, which is always much more expensive than life insurance. She said that was necessary in case one of them could not work for some health reason.

Even if the insurance process was gradual, it should start now, Durrell said, adding, “I may not be able to get them to the optimal level of both, but at least they’ll have something.”

When it comes to credit card debt, Mainou and Thornburg have plenty of company. Durrell said her biggest battle with her clients in their 30s was on this front; too many of them have grown accustomed to carrying credit card balances because their friends do the same.

“One of the things with working with young people is to coach them not to feel comfortable with credit card debt, even if society says it’s OK,” Durrell said.

Looking at the data Mainou and Thornburg said their conversation with Durrell had changed the way they thought about money. (Mainou also said he was not pleased with Citibank’s explanation.)

They said they were going to look into finding insurance immediately, but the switch from paying down debt to putting money into an emergency fund was going to be more difficult.

“That is making me twitchy,” Thornburg said. “The idea that debt is bad has been drilled into our heads. But if you have it, the last thing you should be doing is paying your minimum.”

The eye-opening moment for the couple, who both have doctorates in microbiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, came when they realized that they had overlooked facts in their personal finances in a way they never would in their work.

“We’re scientists, so we spend the bulk of our lives being datadriven,” Mainou said. “We managed to live 30 years of our lives without looking at the financial data.”

Thornburg said changing how they thought about money would be hard, but she was glad to have the chance to do it now, while their son was young.

“It’s going to be more time and effort that we don’t necessarily have,” she said. “We have a baby and we’ll do it for him.

We don’t want to be a drain on him. We want to send him to college like my parents did for me.”

Lawsuit Continued from B1 Burger King’s corporate communications office did not respond to a request for comment.

In an interview, Mann said he spent March 4, 2010, with friends at a motocross track near Bend Municipal Airport. One friend went to the Burger King, he said, to retrieve three cheeseburgers for each person in the group of eight.

He said he got through one burger with no problems.

After taking a big bite of his second cheeseburger, he said, he felt something sharp stab the roof of his mouth, and as he in-

Rent

haled deeply, he inadvertently swallowed the mouthful.

According to the complaint, the cheeseburger contained a piece of wire about an inch long and less than 1 millimeter in diameter.

He thought the wire was a piece of gristle, he said. He recalled choking and reaching for water.

Medical problems began a couple of days later, he said.

Mann’s attorney, Tim Williams, said it could be 1½ or two years before the complaint gets to trial.

Continued from B1 The first of as many as 14 mortgage servicers signed accords this week agreeing to improve internal controls, communications with borrowers and other processes, said two people familiar with the matter.

They are the first sanctions to arise from last year’s probe into so-called robo-signing, in which mortgage firms and their contractors vouched for thousands of foreclosure documents without verifying their accuracy.

The U.S. agreements proceeded without the backing of the attorneys general, led by Iowa’s Tom Miller, who undertook the joint probe last year and have sought to change servicers’ behavior and extract financial penalties. In early March, the group circulated a 27-page settlement “term sheet” outlining future rules on mortgage servicing and conditions for possible mortgage modifications.

Miller, in a Monday statement, said he’s “disappointed” to see reports that some U.S. watchdogs may pursue their own accords. Miller said he had hoped the agencies would cooperate because “to work closely with all of us would protect the public interest to the fullest.”

Geoff Greenwood, a spokesman for Miller, said Tuesday that the actions of federal regulators won’t affect the efforts of the attorneys general.

“We see any settlement they may reach as a floor, not a ceiling,” Greenwood said. “We still don’t know what their agreement would say because we haven’t been notified.”

The attorneys general previously suggested a $20 billion penalty as part of any deal, a figure cited by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,

from the newspaper archives.

The first-quarter survey, which was based on 175 responses, presented the data differently from previous years.

For the recent survey, the rental owners association broke out rents for large apartment complexes, those with 20 or more units, along with those with five to 19 units, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

Some examples from the survey: Average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in a complex with five or more units runs about $615 in Bend and $661 in Redmond. Average rent for two-bedroom houses in Bend and Redmond were listed at $867 and $736, respectively.

The amount of vacant units also varied in the survey, depending on the size of the apartment complexes and city.

Larger complexes in both cities had a combined vacancy rate of 5.44 percent. Smaller complexes, between five and 19 units in Bend and Redmond showed rates of 1.67 percent and 3.17 percent, respectively, according to the first-quarter survey.

For all apartments in all complexes, vacancy rates in Bend and Redmond were 5 percent and 5.48 percent, respectively, according to calculations by The Bulletin. Hunter said normal is about 6 percent.

Larger apartment complexes also tended to charge slightly lower rent, according to the survey. Their owners and managers probably keep them lower to attract tenants, Hunter said.

Also, the larger complexes frequently lack some amenities, such as garages, fireplaces and yards, found in the smaller ones, she said.

Continued from B1 Generally, rents could increase about 5 percent this year, she said.

“They’re not going to skyrocket,” Hunter said. “Demand is not that high.”

The foreclosure process also takes some homes off the market for a period of time, decreasing the supply, at least temporarily, said Kevin Restine, property manager and general manager for Plus Property Management.

But the decline in housing values also has allowed some investors to buy foreclosed properties and turn them into rentals, said Restine and Hunter.

Eventually, those conversions bring more rental properties on the market, which will be good for the community because it could be several years before developers build any new apartment complexes or rental properties, they said.

“It’s really healthy,” Hunter said about rising rents, “although I am sympathetic to the people affected by it.”

Said Restine, “We’re seeing for the first time in a long time people able to purchase an investment property, put a tenant in it and have it pencil out.”

Breaking it down Last year, average rents fell in almost every category of housing when compared with 2009, according to survey information contained in The Bulletin’s archives.

This year, figures from the Central Oregon Rental Owners Association’s 2011 first-quarter survey show rent increases in the majority of categories in apartments and homes, when compared with last year’s data

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, April 7, 2011 B5

of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said Portugal’s request “will be processed in the swiftest possible manner, according to the rules applicable.”

Caught in a political crisis and facing tough refinancing hurdles, Portugal has also been hit by repeated downgrades by credit-rating agencies, sending

which said in a Feb. 14 presentation that banks had saved more than that amount by cutting corners during foreclosures.

A $5 billion penalty would be “too low,” and banks can afford more, the agency wrote in the document.

Lenders countered with a March 28 draft proposal that didn’t include principal reductions or fines, and after a March 30 meeting with servicers, state officials and federal agencies, Miller said there’s “a long way to go” to reach an agreement.

Spokesmen for the FDIC, Fed, OCC and OTS declined to comment, as did representatives of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo and Bank of America, based in Charlotte, N.C. Writing down principal and imposing fines has been “more of a sticking point with the AGs, and it’s going to be more difficult to come to a resolution with that constituency than it would be with the banking regulators,” said Jason Goldberg, an analyst with Barclays Capital in New York.

Foreclosure crisis The states and the Obama administration are trying to help the almost 25 percent of U.S. mortgage holders who are underwater, meaning the debt is more than the home is worth. Banks have been reluctant to write down principal, and so-called short sales, where a home is sold for less than the loan balance, have lagged home seizures as a lengthy consent process by loan holders deters potential buyers.

Foreclosure filings reached a record 2.9 million in 2010, according to RealtyTrac Inc., an Irvine, Calif.-based data company. After a rebound in the second half of last year, home sales have resumed their decline as Hospice Home Health Hospice House Transitions

foreclosures expand the inventory of unsold properties and push values lower.

“There appears to be a divergence between the federal agencies and the state attorneys general as to what they consider to be a good outcome,” said Patrick McManemin, a Dallas-based partner at Patton Boggs, a law firm that represents banks, loan servicers and financial institutions.

There’s also a split among the states, with the attorneys general of Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Florida and South Carolina writing letters to Miller last month voicing their displeasure. Republican lawmakers complained about the proposed settlement and questioned whether the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has authority to take part in the talks.

“In that initial draft it really did seem like the state AGs were overstepping,” said Stephen F.J. Ornstein, a Washington partner of the law firm SNR Denton.

The scope of the original proposal may have delayed any settlement the AGs could have reached, Ornstein said.

Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh said in February that the OCC and other U.S. bank regulators were “in the process of finalizing actions” to impose “remedial requirements and sanctions” on mortgage servicers.

The OCC sent cease-and-desist orders to servicers that month, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Ongoing negotiations This week’s agreements don’t prevent federal regulators from

at a time when Portugal struggles with record unemployment and an economy that is likely to contract 1.3 percent this year, according to a recent forecast from the Bank of Portugal.

Analysts suggested that markets would respond cautiously on Thursday given the uncertainty surrounding the terms of any bailout.

imposing financial penalties later, and are simply an effort to give near-term relief to borrowers trying to work out loan modifications or avoid foreclosures, said one person familiar with the process.

Regulators continue to be part of negotiations with attorneys general, the Justice Department and banks, and are expected to be a party to any global settlement if one is reached, said three people with knowledge of the process who did not want to be named because the negotiations aren’t public.

“Issues such as principal reduction, treatment of second mortgages, state and federal fines all continue to be in play,” McManemin said.

Banks likely will try to use the agreements with regulators as leverage to undermine the efforts by state attorneys general to reach a universal settlement, Alan White, a law professor at Valparaiso University in Indiana, said in a telephone interview.

The banks might argue that any state investigation is preempted by the actions of their federal banking regulator, and may be backed in that claim by the OCC, which has taken a “very aggressive” position in the past arguing that federal banking laws preempt state laws, White said.

This settlement “is turf protection, but it’s also a way of supplanting the attorneys general as the people’s representative who can speak and act,” said Ellen Marshall, a partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP in Costa Mesa, Calif. Regulators “have the sweep of the whole nation and so they can reach an agreement.”

WHAT’S IN IT FOR

YOU?

Continued from B1 “The resources available to founders, to create and control their company’s destiny, have evolved in their favor,” said Sean Parker, a former president of Facebook and a founder of Napster. “The job of being a founder and executing against a big vision of the future has gotten easier.”

Last year Quora, a questionand-answer site, raised $11 million at an $86 million valuation months before its debut. In February, Uber, an on-demand car service that uses mobile phone apps, raised $11 million at a $60 million valuation. And Color, a photosharing application, raised an astounding $41 million in March, before it opened for business. The round was led by Sequoia Capital, a venture capital firm that once invested a more modest $12.5 million in Google, back in 1999.

Easy access to capital In the postrecession environment, young entrepreneurs are finding relatively easy access to capital, as venture capitalists open their wallets wider and a new crop of angel investors move in. Venture capital investments rose 19 percent, to $21.8 billion in 2010 — the first annual increase since the downturn, according to the National Venture Capital Association. The number of angel investors, meanwhile, surged 22 percent to 727 last year, according to data from research firm CB Insights.

The founder of Uber, Travis Kalanick, says the boom in angel investing and the popularity of networking services, like Angel List, a site that matches entrepreneurs with investors, have made financing significantly more accessible.

“In 2001, you took the money you could scrape — I would talk to 150 VCs and maybe one of them was interested,” Kalanick said. Today, Uber has more than a dozen investors and a long line of suitors.

At the same time, the cost to start a Web business has dropped precipitously, thanks in large part to the availability of low-cost cloud computing services. The mobile games company TinyCo, which recently raised $18 million, ran on a shoestring budget for two years before its first financing round. Its founders, Suleman Ali and Ian Spivey, said they scrimped their way to profitability, using free software services like Google applications, renting office space from other start-ups and paying freelancers for art.

Path, a social network startup founded by David Morin, has raised $11 million and passed on an offer from Google since its Nov. 15 introduction. ing servers during Facebook’s early days, says he operates Path through the cloud, with Amazon Web Services.

And so, with just a pinch of capital, a startup can go live, rapidly build up a user base from the Web’s vast population and validate its thesis in a short period of time.

“There’s never been a company ever that has grown as fast as Groupon or Facebook, because no one could reach such a big audience so quickly,” said Ben Horowitz, a co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. “The ability to build a company that gets to $1 billion in revenues in less than two years is unprecedented.”

Shifting attitudes The swell in resources coincides with a shift in attitude, as more Internet founders stay in the chief executive role with the support of their venture capital backers. That was not always the norm. The early generation of Web companies is littered with examples of founders who backed down from the day-to-day responsibilities as their companies took off. Less than two years after Yahoo’s beginning, its founders Jerry Yang and David Filo hired Tim Koogle as chief executive.

One year after eBay was founded, Pierre Omidyar hired Jeff Skoll to lead his company in 1996.

“In the past, a lot of the top venture capitalists thought founders were replaceable, or that they were best replaced,” said Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. “It’s been a huge education.”

Parker, who in 2004 was pushed out of Plaxo, a startup he co-founded, says venture capitalists robbed him of his full equity

stake. As the first president of Facebook, Parker tried to protect Zuckerberg’s interests by laying a foundation that would make it very difficult for future investors to strip Zuckerberg of his equity or his control. In the company’s first major round of financing, a $12.7 million effort led by Breyer and Accel Partners in 2005, Parker pushed for a high valuation (near $100 million) and created a board structure that would guarantee two board seats to Zuckerberg. When Parker resigned from Facebook later that year, he gave Zuckerberg control of his board seat as well.

Later, as a venture capitalist, Parker helped pioneer a new class of stock, called Founders Fund or FF shares, which made it easy for founders to sell their shares during funding rounds without jeopardizing the value of common shares.

“Up until Founders Fund came along, the general venture capital rule was that founders could not take money out until everyone else did; this changed the VC model quite a bit,” said Don Dodge, a Google employee and an angel investor who invested in Morin’s company.

But there are also concerns that the widespread enthusiasm has led to an inflation of company valuations and unrealistic expectations. At some point, many of these startups will probably falter and money will eventually become tighter. Dodge says the average valuation for young startups held at $1 million to $2 million for several years, but in the last two years, that range has more than tripled, to $5 million to $6 million.

“Investors are dropping checks in early-stage companies and giving it away like Halloween candy,” said Taku, the Wilson Sonsini lawyer.

DEQ plan: 10 percent carbon cut for fuels

Dirty work for the good of trees

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Oregon’s mix of vehicle fuels — including gas, diesel and biofuels — would drop 10 percent in carbon content and use over a decade under a proposal the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is considering.

The rules would require companies that import or produce fuels to either add more carbon-light products to their mix or purchase credits from companies that already have low-greenhouse gas options, said Cory-Ann Wind, air quality planner with DEQ. And while a DEQ study forecasts that a required stepdown in carbon would lead to cheaper fuel prices, and more jobs and economic growth, an Oregon industry organization said the standards would actually cause fuel costs to rise.

SALEM — Senators passed a bill Wednesday that would make the state’s top education spot a position appointed by the governor rather than elected by voters.

Sen. Chris Edwards, D-Eugene, who carried Senate Bill 552, “That said this would open leadership is up the pool for qualified applicants and going to be align the position with best attained the governor’s office.

Edwards said when by building a he first became a law- bigger pool maker, he thought the biggest improvement of the most to school districts and qualified students would come candidates we from an increase in funding. But the lon- can find to lead ger he’s in Salem, he our schools.” said, the more he realizes it’s not only about — Sen. Chris money, but it’s also Edwards, D-Eugene about leadership.

“That leadership is going to be best attained by building a bigger pool of the most qualified candidates we can find to lead our schools,” Edwards said.

Several education advocacy groups, such as the nonprofits Stand for Children and the Chalkboard Project, have voiced support of the idea. Proponents have said it’s important to have the position be in line with the governor’s goals.

Opponents point to the dangers of consolidating power and the history Oregonians have of preferring to make their point known through the polls. The bill passed 23-7 and now moves to the House floor.

Rep. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, said he’s in favor of change but said this bill is not the best course of action. He voiced concern about putting the governor in control of the state’s entire education system. “(The position) should be accountable to the system, not the politician,” Kruse said.

And Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, said Edwards should ask voters what they want.

See Appointed / C6

The agency still has not determined whether Oregon should adopt standards, she said, and staff are gathering input from communities across the state — including during several meetings in Bend this week. A bill to repeal the DEQ’s authority to set low carbon standards has also been introduced into the Oregon House.

But the idea behind the standards is to reduce what DEQ calls the carbon intensity of Oregon’s transportation fuels by 10 percent over a decade, she said. Carbon intensity isn’t just how much of the greenhouse gas is released into the atmosphere when the fuel is burned, but also considers the carbon footprint of how the fuel is mined or, in the case of biofuel, grown and harvested, how it’s transported, the equipment used at each step, and more.

“It’s as comprehensive a look as you can get with the greenhouse gasses,” Wind said.

A new addition to Bend’s development code should make it harder for cellphone and broadcast towers to be located in residential neighborhoods.

On Wednesday, the City Council voted 5-2 to approve an ordinance that would require companies wishing to build a highly visible tower in residential zones to go through a more stringent permitting process than if the structures were intended for commercial and industrial zones.

City officials say the intent of the code change is to reduce the aesthetic impacts of cellphone and broadcast towers on residential areas while at the same time encouraging a push toward less visible structures within city limits.

Bend’s development code currently does little to regulate wireless communications and broadcast towers. It’s one paragraph long and states that “as far

SISTERS SCHOOLS

Board strikes early retirement proposal District facing $1M budget shortfall, possible layoffs

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

SISTERS — The Sisters School Board killed a staff proposal to offer early retirement as the district faces a budget shortfall of more than $1 million and the possibility of laying off about 15 staff members.

Superintendent Jim Golden proposed offering teachers who had been in the district for at least 10 years a choice of two early retirement incentives — a full year of health insurance payments or an $11,000 lump-sum payment. After a lengthy discussion, the board members unanimously voted against Golden’s proposal.

Golden said he struggled with the proposal over the weekend but brought it forward because it could possibly save jobs.

Several board members said they

were “philosophically” opposed to early retirement incentives. Board member Jeff Smith wondered if the district would be paying someone who had already planned to retire.

He also doubted the incentives were large enough to spur someone to retire.

“Given the kinds of numbers we’re talking about, the likelihood of pushing someone over the brink is pretty darn small,” Smith said.

Board member Don Hedrick came closest to supporting the proposal. Hedrick said he typically does not support early retirement deals, but the chance to save money could sway his opinion.

“To me this would be a much better option than (laying off) people,” said Hedrick, who later voted against the proposal.

The possibility of losing experienced teachers at a time of dwindling re-

sources worried board member Cheryl Stewart. As teachers are laid off, the need for more experienced staff increases, Stewart said.

“I don’t like the idea of incentiving experienced teachers with the idea of hiring less-experienced teachers or maybe even a brand-new teacher,” Stewart said.

Golden’s proposal was intended as a one-time offer, something that would not be on the table in future years. But board member Glen Lasken suggested that was a difficult standard to stick to in coming years. Once offered, it could be hard to pull back early retirement offers in future years with budget difficulties.

“I also worry about the slippery slope,” Lasken said. “I get nervous about the ‘one-time only.’ That’s pretty unenforceable.”

Alaska law would allow military to imbibe at 18

By Chris Stein The Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska is the latest state to weigh in on a long-running argument: If you’re old enough to fight and die for your country, you should be old enough to drink a beer.

An Alaska lawmaker who served in Vietnam is pushing a bill that would allow activeduty service members under 21 to drink alcohol as long as they could produce an armed forces identification card. Those under 19 — Alaska’s smoking age — would be allowed to buy tobacco products. “It’s not fair that one guy in a fox hole can go home and have a beer while another guy in the fox hole can’t,� said Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage. “It’s not about drinking, it’s not about smoking, it’s about equality. If you get shot at, you can have a shot.�

But Lynn’s bill has received a cool reception from the state’s armed forces commanders, who worry it would encourage unhealthy behavior in a military that wants to reduce smoking and curb drinking.

And if the bill passes, the state stands to lose at least $17 million in federal highway funding, state transportation officials say, because Alaska would be in violation of the national minimum drinking age statute. In a state where alcohol abuse is blamed for many social and financial ills, a lower drinking age is a distinction few want. “It sends a mixed message. For some it’s OK, for others it’s not,� said Royal Bidwell, business manager of the Forget Me Not Foundation, an anti-drunken driving group based in Wasilla.

The law could set a precedent, said Rep. Alan Austerman, RKodiak, where any young person whose profession puts them at risk of losing their life, such as police or firefighters, could be allowed to drink.

Kentucky, South Carolina and Wisconsin have all considered similar legislation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, but nothing has ever come into law. U.S.

Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage, listens to testimony in the House Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee in Juneau, Alaska, on April 5. Lynn has proposed allowing active-duty armed forces members under age 21 to legally buy and drink alcohol.

“It’s not about drinking, it’s not about smoking, it’s about equality. If you get shot at, you can have a shot.� — Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Georgia, proposed a similar measure last year that ultimately died in committee.

About 2,000 soldiers under age 21 serve in the Army in Alaska, said Maj. Bill Coppernoll, public affairs officer for U.S. Army Alaska. Federal law prohibits them from drinking on base.

Alcohol is involved in a third of misconduct incidents on Alaska’s military installation, three generals said in a letter to Rep. Dan Saddler, co-chairman of the House Special Committee on Military & Veterans’ Affairs.

Lowering the drinking age could further increase drunken driving arrests of young soldiers who would drive back from offbase bars, they said.

“While consumption of alcohol is often regarded as a ‘privilege of adulthood,’ when our Service men and women deploy, they understand even those of drinking age may not be allowed to consume alcohol while deployed,� said the letter from Lt. Gen. Dana T. Atkins, commander of the Alaska Command, and Maj. Gen. Raymond P. Palumbo, commanding general of U.S. Army Alaska. “It is just part of the sacrifice military members make.�

The legislation may linger before lawmakers decide anything.

It’s being considered by a committee that doesn’t meet again this year.

Maria Wylie, a 20-year-old Army ROTC cadet at University of Alaska Fairbanks, said the measure sounded fair, as long as soldiers of all ages ensure they don’t drink and drive.

Cody Short, a cadet in the Army ROTC at the University of Alaska Anchorage, said he was unsure why a special law should be created just for young soldiers. “We follow the laws applied to the U.S,� said Short, 20. “I can wait till I’m 21.�

California Democrats try again with rejected bills

By Patrick McGreevy and Anthony York McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Dozens of proposals vetoed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are zooming through the Legislature anew, with the ruling Democrats hoping Jerry Brown will sign them.

But getting the governor on board may not be easy.

Plans to boost the use of renewable energy, make it easier for farmworkers to unionize and give illegal immigrants access to college aid are among the more than 60 bills rejected by Schwarzenegger, a Republican, that could soon go before Brown, a Democrat.

Others would protect tenants in properties facing foreclosure, keep pesticides away from schools, close loopholes in the workplace smoking ban, crack down on the smuggling of cell phones into prisons and regulate body piercing.

Many of the bills could put the governor in an awkward position. He’s intent on demonstrating to voters that he is not a machine Democrat. His effort to project an image of independence and fiscal prudence could be undermined by the acceptance of a raft of liberal legislation. “I know exactly how Governor Brown feels,� said former Gov. Gray Davis, who was similarly deluged with Democratic bills when he took office in 1999 after 16 years of Republican governors. “There is a great deal of pent-up demand. I’m sure they (legislators) are licking their chops.�

Brown has expressed general support for some of the ideas brought back. But his

spokeswoman, Elizabeth Ashford, said that did not necessarily mean an endorsement of specific legislation.

She said the administration would not comment on any measure until the governor acts on it.

The renewed bills are appearing as Brown launches a public relations offensive partly intended to persuade voters that he has been as careful as possible with their money. That image is one key to getting voters to sign off on billions of dollars in taxes later this year.

But indiscriminate vetoing could cost Brown support from fellow Democrats in the Legislature.

His refusal to sign many Democratic bills when he was governor three decades ago chilled relations and ultimately stalled his policy agenda.

Davis also paid a political price for irritating lawmakers as he sought to position himself as a moderate.

He surprised them in his first year by setting a record for the largest number of Democratic bills vetoed by a Democratic governor, causing rifts with party leaders. “The bulk of those I vetoed ‌ were bills that proposed spending more,â€? Davis said.

A measure by Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, that would require 33 percent of the state’s energy to come from renewable sources by 2020 is already on Brown’s desk, after flying through the Senate and Assembly without a single amendment.

O Kitzhaber urges state legislators to reduce kicker

APRIL SNOW SHOWERS

Union Pacific challenges rail yard injunction

The Associated Press

The Associated Press PORTLAND — Union Pacific Railroad has gone to federal court in Oregon to challenge a 55-year-old injunction that limits operations at its Brooklyn Intermodal Rail Yard in Portland.

Railroad officials argue the injunction stands in the way of a planned $75 million modernization of the yard and hurts the company’s ability to be competitive, The Oregonian reported.

But neighbors say they worry lifting it could harm the livability of adjacent areas.

The injunction was won by the Eastmoreland Neighborhood Association and Sellwood-Moreland Improvement League in 1956. It limits how far south of the yard trains can be assembled and forbids additional lines.

“People moved in knowing there’s a railroad there, but they moved in with the knowledge that there were limitations on it,” said Richard Pierce, association president and head of the neighborhood’s Railroad Committee.

“We have grave concern about the effect noise and pollution is going to have on the neighborhood,” Pierce said.

Brock Nelson, Union Pacific’s director of public affairs for Oregon and Washington, said the injunction was originally designed to deal with a type of shipping that’s no longer used at the Brooklyn Rail Yard.

“There’s been a significant change in operation since then, and this yard has been exclusively intermodal for the last decade,” Nelson said, adding that no other Union Pacific station in the country has this kind of limitation.

Intermodal shipping is the process of transferring large rectangular containers between trucks, boats and trains. It reduces the number of noisy couplings and decouplings needed to load long sections of train cars because trains are loaded with large shipping containers by crane, Nelson said.

No hearing date has been set.

A road sign warns of hazardous driving conditions near Welches on Wednesday. A late winter storm is bringing in cold air and snow to many areas throughout Western Oregon. A winter weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service was in effect through Wednesday evening.

O B Pot cargo found in SUV torched in traffic stop KLAMATH FALLS — A Maryland man faces marijuana and arson charges after he allegedly tried to set fire to himself and his car during a traffic stop by Oregon State Police.

Troopers said that 45-year-old Lester Kasten of Owings Mills, Md., doused himself and a rented sport utility vehicle with lighter fluid and ignited it after he was stopped late Tuesday night on U.S. 97 just north of Klamath Falls in Southern Oregon.

Troopers removed Kasten before he suffered any serious injury and then extinguished the fire before Chiloquin Fire Department firefighters arrived to assist.

Damage to the vehicle’s interior was minor.

State police said a search led to the discovery of approximately 30 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $75,000 inside a suitcase in the vehicle.

Senate delays vote on banning BPA in bottles SALEM — The Oregon Senate has delayed a vote on a measure that would ban the use of a potentially harmful chemical from baby bottles, children’s sippy cups and reusable water bottles.

The vote had been scheduled for Wednesday.

The bill targets bisphenol-A, or BPA. Proponents of a ban argue that the chemical disrupts hormones in young children. Health and environmental groups had originally sought to also ban the chemical from infant formula containers and to require labels on metal cans that contain the chemical, but lawmakers removed that provision.

Opponents argue that there’s no proof that small amounts of BPA are harmful to children, and can manufacturers said there’s no reliable alternative.

Abducted girl found safe in Vancouver PORTLAND — Police say a 3-year-old girl who was taken from a Portland home Monday by her father in violation of a restraining order was found safe early Wednesday at a home in Vancouver, Wash.

The man, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Yarovoy, 25, has been arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail. The girl has been reunited with her mother.

Police say he is restrained from the woman and child by a Multnomah County Circuit Court restraining order.

Beachgoers urged not to approach seal pups NEWPORT — The arrival of

spring has brought the annual reminder to stay away from seal pups on Oregon beaches.

Oregon State University biologists are warning the public to avoid touching or approaching seal pups left alone on the beach while their mothers are out looking for food.

Biologists say well-meaning people sometimes try to rescue seal pups they mistakenly believe are abandoned, or they crowd too close to the pups, preventing their mothers from returning to them.

People who get too close also risk being fined under laws intended to protect marine mammals from harassment.

Biologists say beachgoers should stay at least 50 yards away from seal pups and keep their dogs leashed.

Man gets 17½ years for death of infant son EUGENE — A Eugene man has been sentenced 17½ years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of his infant son.

KEZI-TV reports that 22-yearold Derek Jackson had previously pleaded not guilty to murder and assault charges in the death last June of Ryder Jackson.

The baby boy died from a traumatic brain injury.

Wallace, Brown for Bend parks board

V

oters inside the Bend Park & Recreation District are in the enviable spot of having good, strong candidates in each of the two races for spots on that board.

Scott Wallace, the incumbent, squares off against Justin Gottlieb for the Position 1 seat. Wallace is completing his first four-year term on the board. A geologist, he grew up in Bend. Wallace knows the strength of the district’s outdoor recreation opportunities. There are fewer spaces for those who prefer their recreation indoors, however, and he believes the district needs to address that lack.

At the same time, Wallace is well aware of the toll the recession has taken. Unless there are major improvements, Wallace believes new facilities will be opened only in partnership with other public and private agencies. Wallace came to the board interested in adding ice skating facilities to the district’s mix, but that original interest has been tempered by financial reality. Now he and others are focused on working to turn Troy Field in downtown Bend into a seasonal outdoor rink, as it was years ago.

Wallace is opposed by Justin Gottlieb, who is dissatisfied with district operations in some areas. A routine visitor to Drake Park, he objected to killing geese and he doesn’t believe the district is managing the geese there well enough, despite the management plan it created several years ago and updated in 2009. It also spends thousands of dollars annually to clean the area of goose droppings.

Gottlieb also argues the district falls down on the job of using social media to keep residents informed, though

it’s on Facebook, tweets and posts to YouTube in addition to a Website.

Wallace is the better choice for voters. He is experienced and has a broader understanding of the district and the challenges it faces.

The race for Position 2, meanwhile, puts a familiar name up against a district budget committee member.

Dallas Brown is not new to Deschutes County politics, despite his youth — he is 26. It’s that youth, in fact, that is one strong reason for supporting his candidacy. Many of the district’s users, if not most of them, are young, and Brown would give them a peer’s voice on the board.

Brown has studied the district, its finances and operations and met with district personnel to discuss the agency. That willingness to dig into things would no doubt carry over to issues facing the board, as would a willingness to speak his mind.

Dan Fishkin, Brown’s opponent, also is well-qualified. In fact, the two men present voters with a wonderful dilemma: Both are good, both are bright, both are willing to work hard for the district. Fishkin has already done so on the district’s budget committee, and under other circumstances we would recommend him without hesitation. Despite that, we believe Brown is the better choice. He speaks for an unrepresented group on the board. And he will be an eager and energetic addition.

Losoya and Rodby for Redmond schools T

he two seats with competition in Redmond’s school board election are contests of experience. We urge voters to support A.J. Losoya for Position 3 and Paul Rodby for Position 5. Both have critical experience.

Redmond schools may face more than a $9 million shortfall — out of a $49 million budget for 2011-2012. It’s looking at 3.7 percent salary reductions, cutting four days from the calendar and losing 28 teachers.

By the time the new board members take office, many of those decisions will have been made. Redmond’s financial challenges will not be over.

Both Losoya, because of his financial background as a banker, and Rodby, because of his experience in business and his term on the school board, are the best-equipped to tackle them.

Losoya is a bank branch manager of Home Federal Bank. He was recently appointed to fill a vacant spot on the school board. Neither of Losoya’s parents finished high school.

His parents were migrant farm workers. He was the first member of his family to finish high school and college. The life that he has lived is not reason enough to vote for him. But his

life experiences can give him insight into students and education that others on the board do not have.

Losoya’s opponent is Johnny Corbin, a retired vocational instructor. Corbin’s focus is vocational training. That is an important part of school policy, but it is narrow. When the school board had to appoint someone to Position 3, it chose Losoya over Corbin. That was the right choice.

Rodby runs McDonald’s restaurants in Redmond, one in Madras and another in Prineville. If re-elected, it would be his second term.

Redmond voters are fortunate that Rodby has two high-quality opponents — Luke McCullough, who works at Deschutes Recycling, and Robert Perry, a retired marketing executive. Neither, though, offered a compelling reason why Rodby should be removed. Rodby has helped the district get through a difficult time, and that knowledge better prepares him to handle the next four years. He has helped push for improved teacher evaluations and better use of student test data. Losoya and Rodby are eager to build on that work and can do so without playing catch-up.

My Nickel’s Worth Don’t restrict gun rights

Concerns not justified

Recent incidents involving firearms have raised the interest in restricting the Second Amendment right allowing citizens to own this means to protect ourselves and our properties.

As an 81-year-old citizen who has had the need to be armed, I fear the possibility we may lose the right to be armed.

Back in the 1950s there was a shortage of legal mobile home parks. I was a full-time pharmacist but saw the need for legal spaces and purchased 24 acres of bare land between Sandy and Gresham. I physically toiled to clear, design and construct what eventually grew to 50 spaces.

Working long hours away from home, it was my wife’s concern when a neighbor’s transient labor crew began walking through our property to reach a grocery store. Our tenants began to lose items from their vehicles, and the transients were responsible. My wife first asked, then demanded, that they use the highway and stay out of our park. They ignored her. The police refused to assist us.

One day they went to the store while I was home, so I confronted them at the park entrance as they returned from the highway. When they became aggressive, I pulled a .38 Special from my hip pocket.

That was the last time we ever saw them. Our neighbor told me he had feared them and their threats to use their knives, but after this incident he told me they had become much more pleasant.

Bill Schneider Powell Butte

I live near C.E. Lovejoy’s Brookswood Market and am consistently impressed by the quality of selection and employees.

While I have heard and read the arguments, concerns and complaints about the Brookswood Plaza and grocery store, I have seen little validity to people’s fears, accusations and assumptions. Consider: 1. There are not loud/large grocery trucks driving about Brookswood, annoying everyone on the route.

2. The convenience of the store to all our homes in southeast Bend allows us to get fresh groceries and produce regularly — without even having to drive.

3. The staff is incredibly helpful at finding products, ordering new food, discounting perishable items and cooking fantastic deli foods.

4. Lovejoy’s samples and events are unmatched by most stores in the area.

5. The store is locally owned, by families in Bend. Isn’t “Buy Local” a matter of pride for Bend consumers?

It bothers me that this delightful store isn’t as valued and visited as much as it should be. Stop by and shop; you will reconsider your reservations.

It is a great store. I am glad C.E. Lovejoy’s is in my neighborhood.

Please show your support by shopping there.

health of its forests called the “Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program” (CFLRP). We worked with the Forest Service, county leaders, mills, conservationists, recreationists and neighboring landowners to create the Deschutes Skyline Landscape project. Consequently, the project received $500,000 to reduce overgrown brush and limit the risk of catastrophic wildfire, improve wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities, and support a sustainable timber harvest.

That original $500,000 for the Deschutes Skyline Landscape leveraged investments from other sources, which ultimately resulted in $3 million for forest restoration work. We estimate that work will result in 108 jobs every year for 10 years. In its first year, the Deschutes Skyline project has improved wildlife habitat on 9,623 acres, reduced the risk of wildfire by reducing hazardous fuels on 8,417 acres, harvested 2.1 million board feet of timber, collected 8,817 green tons of biomass for energy, restored fish passages, planted 10 acres of native trees in stream areas, restored one mile of wetlands, and improved two miles of roads.

While clearly this project has outstanding local benefits, this fact is not as apparent to Washington, D.C. The Deschutes Skyline Landscape project, along with the nine other CFLRP projects around the country, is on the cutting block in Congress. We ask that you please join us in respectfully calling upon our Oregon delegation to support our community by becoming champions for the CFLRP in Congress.

Change needed so the deficit does not burden our grandchildren

By Lindsay Stevens Bulletin guest columnist

M

any readers will recall that the president recently set up a commission to study how to reduce the deficit our nation faces. It was chaired by Democrat Erskin Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson, and the members were split between Democrats and Republicans. While the final report did not receive approval of a majority of the commission’s members, it is widely considered a worthwhile effort and a possible blueprint for helping to resolve the problem. Now, a group of senators from various states, called the “Gang of Six,” is developing a plan, based on the commission’s recommendations, to help resolve the deficit.

Is it really all that important to reduce the federal deficit? I believe it is. If you are raising kids today and want them to have a better life (financially) than you have had, or if you are a grandparent (as am I) whose grandkids are getting

ready to go to college, this is not just important, it is imperative. Here are some reasons why.

We have reached the point where the size of our federal government exceeds the capacity of our tax system to pay for it. None of us wants to see reductions in Social Security or Medicare or help for the less fortunate among us, and none of us wants to pay more in taxes.

But we can’t have it both ways. So to correct this imbalance, we will have to support some changes in the tax system (increases and/or reductions of deductions and/or credits) along with some reductions in our spending (so-called entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). Neither of these approaches alone will suffice. The deficit problem is simply too big.

What happens if we do nothing?

Our government debt is now $14.1 trillion. Trillions are hard for me to relate to. But millions I can kind of get my head around. A trillion is a million times

IN MY VIEW a million. The figure above is 14.1 times 1 million times 1 million. It has 12 zeros!

The interest payments on this debt are projected to rise at an alarming rate.

Current projections show that in just 10 years (your middle school youngster will be getting ready for college), the government’s net interest bill will become $928 billion a year (getting close to a trillion). That would amount to more than the government cost for Medicaid that year and more than the cost of all non-security discretionary spending for that year. Since China holds a very large percentage of our debt, much of that money will go to China.

It takes tax revenue to pay for that debt. The higher the debt payments, the more it will require of your tax revenue to make them. Much of that revenue will have to come from your children as they move into adulthood. How will that help

them achieve more financially than you have been able to? How will that help them to save for their own retirement since Social Security is likely to be delayed? How will that help them get the college education they will need to compete in the job market?

There are three choices: Increase the income (taxes), decrease the spending (benefits), or do some of each — and that is what the president’s commission recommended. This is where the Gang of Six comes in. Those senators have worked to refine their proposals and have informally circulated them among the other members of Congress. So far, they have received the tentative backing of 31 senators — 16 Republicans and 15 Democrats. That might be enough to do the job, and I think we need to support them as well.

Am I proposing that we increase tax rates on everybody? No, but some changes in the way our tax system works are going to be necessary if we are to

remove this burden from our children’s shoulders and give them a chance for greater success. Am I proposing drastic cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid? No, but some adjustment in the levels of growth of these programs has to be made if our children are to have the benefits we would like them to have. What I am suggesting is that we all will have to make some adjustments in our expectations of what government can provide so that our children and grandchildren do not have to bear the entire burden of our failure to keep government under control.

So, keep your eyes peeled for the proposals from the Gang of Six and see if you can find it in your heart to avoid lobbying for your favorite program and show your support for the parts of the group’s proposals that you find acceptable so that the next generation gets a fair chance at success.

Lindsay Stevens is a resident of Bend.

Ted McWherter, a former two-term Democratic governor of Tennessee and adviser to then president Bill Clinton, died Monday.

By Emma Brown The Washington Post

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — David French, a former Howard University professor of pediatric surgery who tended to the medical needs of civil rights marchers during the 1960s and later spearheaded an effort to strengthen public health systems in 20 African countries, died March 31 of renal failure at the University of Virginia hospital in Charlottesville. He was 86.

French was a founding member and a national chairman of the Medical Committee for Human Rights, a civil rights organization that aimed to stop the segregation of health-care facilities and pressed for adequate medical care for patients of all races.

French played a key role in coordinating first-aid efforts at major civil rights protests, including the 1965 march for voting rights from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery, Ala.

Ned McWherter, former Tennessee governor, 80

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

Protest turns violent The first attempt to complete that march, on March 7, ended bloodily when protesters were beaten and gassed by state troopers. French and other members of the Medical Committee thought federal intervention was needed to protect marchers on their next attempt.

The doctors were unsuccessful at lobbying the U.S. Justice Department for help. But a sympathetic Justice lawyer told them that if Alabama Gov. George Wallace were overwhelmed with demands for costly medical assistance from the state, he might request federal assistance on his own.

French compiled a list of requested provisions, including ambulances, water trailers, portable toilets and trash trucks.

The governor, balking at the $300,000 price tag for those measures, asked the U.S. government for military aid.

On March 21, protesters left Selma under the protection of federal troops. By the time they reached the state Capitol in Montgomery several days later, their numbers had swelled to 25,000, and their journey had become a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement.

The next year, James Meredith was shot and injured while attempting to protest racism with a march across Mississippi. Thousands of activists decided to take up his cause and complete his protest. According to news reports at the time, French and his wife converted their family van into an ambulance, helping lead the medical unit that oversaw the care of marchers.

The protests gave French a chance to witness firsthand the lack of quality health care available to blacks in the South. With

That interest took him to Boston University, where he started a department of community health in 1969. He also established a network of community health centers in Boston before moving to Africa in the 1970s.

Lived in Ivory Coast For the next decade, he and his family lived in Ivory Coast, leading a sprawling effort to train nurses and improve public health in 20 countries in western and central Africa.

The program was a cooperative venture of the World Health Organization, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Boston University and each of the participating countries’ ministries of health.

Working together, the agencies trained health-care workers to set up and run a network of clinics offering primary and preventive care such as immunizations and checkups for mothers and infants.

Baruch Blumberg dies at 85; helped on hepatitis B vaccine

By Roger Segelken New York Times News Service

Dr. Baruch Blumberg, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist and medical anthropologist who discovered the hepatitis B virus, showed that it could cause liver cancer and then helped develop a powerful vaccine to fight it, saving millions of lives, died Tuesday in Moffett Field, Calif. He was 85 and lived in Philadelphia.

His family said he died, apparently of a heart attack, shortly after giving a keynote speech at a NASA conference at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field.

Blumberg’s prize-winning virology and epidemiology work began in the 1960s at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia and took him and his colleagues on field trips around the world, from Japan to Africa.

The work led to the discovery of the hepatitis B virus in 1967, the first test for hepatitis B in the blood supply and the development in 1969 of the hepatitis B vaccine — the first “cancer vaccine.” Dr. Irving Millman, a colleague at the research center,

was its co-creator.

Blumberg’s discoveries have been compared to those of Jonas Salk, the developer of the polio vaccine. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 with D. Carleton Gajdusek for their work on the origins and spread of infectious viral diseases. (Dr. Gajdusek had discovered the cause of the kuru, or “trembling disease,” prevalent in New Guinea.)

Almost 20 years later, after decades of hepatitis B-related studies and a global search for medicinal plants to treat hepatic infections, Blumberg began what he called his second career. In 1999 he became the founding director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Astrobiology Institute.

The institute’s mission was to oversee research teams in the development of life-detecting devices for planetary rovers and asteroid fly-bys, and to scrutinize life forms in “extreme” environments on Earth, like the ocean bottom and the geothermal cauldrons that produce geysers. He joined several expeditions himself.

his wife’s family has deep roots.

He went on to serve as medical director of Helen Keller International, a New York-based nonprofit organization that runs public health programs in developing countries.

More recently, he had served as medical officer for the nonprofit service and development arm of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

David Marshall French was born May 30, 1924, in Toledo, Ohio, and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He attended what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland for two years before he was drafted by the Army during World War II. The Army sent him to medical school at Howard, where his mentor was Charles Drew, the pioneering doctor who developed the first large-scale blood banks.

French earned a medical degree in 1948 and then completed his residency in surgery under Drew at the old Freedmen’s Hospital.

In the early 1950s, French became one of the first AfricanAmerican surgeons to receive board certification. After completing a year’s training in pediatric cardiovascular surgery in Chicago, he returned to establish that specialty at Howard, Freedmen’s Hospital and D.C. General.

Ned McWherter, a sharecropper’s son who as governor of Tennessee cajoled the legislature into passing a sweeping health care overhaul, making it the first state to offer health insurance to every uninsured person who wanted it, died on Monday in Nashville. He was 80.

The cause was cancer, his family said.

McWherter, a bear of a man who liked to mention that he was born on the kitchen table in a dirt-floor shack, began his political career as a state legislator advocating the sterilization of welfare mothers, a suggestion he abandoned. As speaker of the House, he was credited with being the first legislative leader in the South to appoint a black chairman of a committee.

As governor from 1987 to 1995, McWherter, a Democrat, pursued a broadly progressive agenda, raising financing for poor school districts and unsuccessfully fighting for a state income tax.

In 1992 and 1993, City and State magazine named Tennessee the best-managed state government. The next year, Governing magazine, which had acquired City and State, called McWherter the nation’s best governor.

His biggest idea was to replace Medicaid, the federal and state financed program that delivers health care to the poor, with a system of managed care. Under Medicaid, doctors and hospitals bill the state for individual procedures. Under McWherter’s system, the state paid a privately run health maintenance organization a fixed fee per patient per month.

He persuaded the federal government to let Tennessee opt out of Medicaid.

The idea was that managed care could stem ballooning costs, with the resultant savings used to insure people who had no insurance, including those with pre-existing conditions. People not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid but unable to afford private insurance were accepted.

The plan worked initially, saving more than $2 billion and giving Tennessee the highest percentage of insured citizens in the country. The number of participants increased to 1.3 million from 800,000.

But lawsuits, mismanagement, increasing costs and fraud forced succeeding governors to make deep cuts in expenditures and enrollment.

Former President Bill Clinton said in a 2004 interview that Tennessee was also hurt by a lack of federal support.

“Ultimately, I believe the nation will have a medical coverage plan that will look like TennCare,” Clinton told The Jackson Sun, a Tennessee newspaper. Using McWherter’s middle name, Clinton added, “Ned Ray blazed a trail here.”

Ned Ray McWherter was born on a farm between Little Zion and Palmersville, Tenn., on Oct. 15, 1930. He attended a one-room school with a woodburning stove. When he was in the fifth grade, the family moved to Dresden, Tenn., where they ran a restaurant called the Hotdog. Ned was captain of his high school football team and senior class vice president, and then attended several universities before dropping out to work in a shoe factory for $18.90 a week. He became a traveling shoe salesman.

Celebration of Life for

Wilma Pauline Todd Wilma’s family would like to extend an invitation for all that knew her to please join them in celebrating her life.

Wilma was born on April 11, 1936, and passed away on November 28, 2010, after losing her battle with cancer.

A celebration of life will be held on April 9, 2011, at the Terrebonne Grange Hall located at the corner of Smith Rock Way and 11th Street between the hours of 11am to 1pm. The family will be providing food and beverages.

David Clayton McCrea January 3, 1938 - April 3, 2011

David Clayton McCrea, a gentlemen who thoroughly enjoyed his time on the Hood River catching steelhead.

David was born to Clell C. and Edna M. McCrea on January 3, 1938, in Redmond, Oregon. David was known for his athletics while attending schools in Redmond. Most notable was his instrumental contribution in breaking a 30 year old record with a win over Bend High in 1954, as quarterback. During high school he met the love of his life, Alberta I. Casteel. Following their courtship, David and Alberta were married June 20, 1959. They soon began to build their family with five grateful children.

Missing him deeply is his wife Alberta of Hood River, his three daughters Sherri, Carrie and Lorri of Central Oregon and his two sons David and Clayton of Hood River. David is also survived by his brother Donald of Portland, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

In 1984, David was able to fulfill his true dreams by becoming a full-time fisherman. Upon the family relocating to Hood River, David was able to retire at the young age of 45 from a long career with Whittier Molding as a supervisor. When not spending time on the river, David was with his family, who he adored.

Trips home to Central Oregon and the Oregon Beach were his favorite times with family. His last beach trip was spent with the entire family celebrating his 50 years of marriage to Alberta. In recent years those close to him saw his gentleness blossom when he was in the company of his favorite companion and man’s best friend, Ni-Sha. David maintained his active lifestyle enjoying the outdoors until recently, when his heart was no longer able to provide him the necessary energy to pursue his true passion. On April 3, 2011, at Portland Providence Medical Center a wonderful husband and cherished father found ultimate peace surrounded by his wife and five children.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm April 8, 2011, in Hood River at Anderson’s Funeral Home with a light reception to follow. Graveside services will be at 3:00 pm Saturday April 9, 2011, in Redmond at Redmond Memorial Cemetery, with a reception following at Mountain View fellowship in Redmond. The family suggest donations be made in his name to the Hood River Senior Center in lieu of flowers.

DEQ Continued from C1 Fuel importers and producers would have to track all of the material they sell in a giant spreadsheet that would calculate the carbon intensity each year, she said —- and each year for a decade, they would have to meet increasingly lower carbon content standards.

“It gives time for infrastructure and technology to come online,” she said.

The producers or importers could choose how they want to meet those standards, she said, whether it’s adding more biofuels to the mix, using biodiesel with a lower carbon footprint, investing in electric car charging stations, getting ethanol made locally instead of in the Midwest to reduce the carbon involved in transportation, or some other method.

Option to buy credits “It leaves it up to the market to decide what’s available, what’s the infrastructure, where do I want to invest,” Wind said.

And if importers don’t want to lower their carbon mix, or can’t, they can purchase credits from companies that already are importing or producing low-carbon products, such as biodiesel or cellulosic ethanol, to meet the standards.

“A company that owns all the electric charging systems in the area, they’ll be earning credits for that, and they can sell the credits to somebody who doesn’t want to buy lower carbon fuels,” she said.

The economic analysis indicates that this would lower the cost of fuels, she said, because Oregon already imports $5 billion worth of petroleum fuels every year.

Producing more locally in the form of biofuels or other technologies would be cheaper, she said, and less tied to the volatile global oil prices, so should bring the price to consumers down.

The rules would also have safeguards so that if the price of fuel in Oregon becomes noncompetitive with neighboring states, due to the low carbon standards, the state will suspend the program, Wind said.

Having a low carbon fuel standard could provide a known demand for companies interested in greener fuels technologies, she said.

“It’s going to provide the market that a producer needs to invest in Oregon to build production capacity,” she said.

But Paul Romaine, executive director of the Oregon Petroleum Association, disagrees that standards will lead to lower prices at the pump.

“If you like high-cost fuel, it’s great,” he said.

Fought in California Low-carbon fuel standards that recently went into effect in California have drawn court challenges, he said, and would put Oregon at a disadvantage competitively.

One problem with the standards, he said, is that it’s based on assumptions that the ethanol and biofuels industry will keep up.

“They’re saying there’s going to be a huge amount of cellulosic ethanol with prices that are lower than gasoline,” he said.

“The technology’s not even there yet to come close to that, it’s all a guess.”

The Senate would have to confirm the position. Local lawmaker Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, is a co-sponsor of the bill.

The bill would not affect Susan Castillo, the current state school superintendent, who would finish serving her four-year term before the bill went into effect.

2011 PREP GIRLS TENNIS OUTLOOK

Several area squads have sights set on district titles

By James Williams The Bulletin

The toughest opponent in girls tennis this season is familiar to most Central Oregon squads.

Spring weather on the east side of the Cascades continues to thwart many local teams’ efforts to get in practices and matches.

As of Monday, for example, Sisters had been able to practice together only three times. Crook County is in a similar

spot, having just competed in its second dual despite only a handful of outdoor workouts.

“We’re just waiting and seeing,” says Cowgirls coach Lloyd Rodgers, now in his 10th season at Crook County.

Despite the wind, rain and gloom that typify spring in the area, 2011 could be a year in which Central Oregon girls tennis teams capture district titles in three different classifications.

Dodgers hire former LAPD chief to review security LOS ANGELES — Six days after a San Francisco Giants fan was severely beaten during the Dodgers’ home opener, the team announced Wednesday it was hiring former Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton to review security measures.

“Bill Bratton is widely credited with spearheading modern community policing in America,” Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement.

“There is no one better to lead a top-to-bottom review of our current practices and make recommendations to be implemented now and into the future.”

At a Tuesday news conference, County-USC doctors explained the severity of Bryan Stow’s condition. They said he suffered a severely fractured skull and damage to the frontal lobe of his brain.

The left side of his skull has been removed to allow his swollen brain to decompress.

There is now a $100,000 reward to find Stow’s assailants.

Anglers fish for trout last week on the Deschutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook.

Trout frenzy The Deschutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook offers anglers a chance to catch rainbows and browns — and even some big bulls

The Bulletin

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK — The sun finally rose over the steep canyon wall as we sat in the boat near the junction of the Deschutes River and Lake Billy Chinook.

An otter tended to his den on the shore nearby as a juvenile bald eagle stood watch on a rock high above the lake. Birds chirped away incessantly as I reeled in one 12-inch brown trout and then, a few minutes later, another.

A white buoy marked “Angling Boundary” designated where the lake ended and the river began — an important distinction, because on the river is restricted to artificial flies and lures.

HUNTING fishing John Garrison guided his 24-foot pontoon boat & FISHING past the buoy to see if anglers in another boat were having any success.

Turns out, one of them had just caught and released a 20-inch bull trout. The only problem was, that angler was fishing with a worm-and-spinner combination.

Garrison informed them, politely, that fishing with bait there was illegal.

The angler responded with something about how he had been bait fishing there for 20 years.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — On the far end of the course Wednesday, near the only palm tree at Augusta National, Lee Westwood rolled long putts across the fourth green as he practiced alone on a quiet afternoon before the Masters.

Spotting two familiar faces in the crowd, he looked over with a grin and said, “Lost? Bar closed?

Through the pines and dogwoods, down a steep slope toward the 16th green, players stopped on the edge of the 16th green to the fans’ delight and tried skipping

shots across the pond and onto the green. On what might be the only day of booing, Graeme McDowell got an earful when his shot sank before it got halfway across the water.

It sure didn’t feel like the day before the first major of the year.

But then, Augusta National has a way of putting players at ease with its sheer beauty, when the Masters is more about azaleas and jasmine and enjoying a special place than trying to win a green jacket.

WASHINGTON — The volleyball thudded off the back of Hannah Zarnich’s head, producing an instant, searing headache.

It was a hard shot, in part because Hannah was in her usual position along the front row, her back to the server, and hadn’t seen it coming.

She shook it off and kept playing. After the February game, the freshman at suburban Chantilly (Va.) High School took two Tylenol and finished the tournament, though she felt lousy and didn’t play well.

But that night the scary stuff started. Over the next four weeks, Hannah at times couldn’t do her geometry homework because the symbols made no sense to her. She was intensely nauseated. She was constantly tired but had trouble falling asleep at night. She couldn’t understand the crawling words on her family’s TV screen. And she would become irritable at odd moments (yes, even more unpredictably than an average teenager).

By the numbers Some key figures from a study at MedStar Health Research Institute in Baltimore that examined the incidence and risk of concussions in 12 high school boys and girls sports from 1997 to 2008 in schools in the Washington suburb of Fairfax County, Va. 2,651: Total number of concussions recorded over the 11 years of the study, which tracked nearly 11 million “exposures,” defined as one athlete’s participation in a practice or competition.

231: Number of athletes with two concussions; 26 had three or more.

S B Swimming • Swim club tryouts conclude today, Friday: The final tryouts for the Bend Swim Club’s 2011 spring/summer program are set for today and Friday, starting at 6:15 p.m. both days. The tryouts will take place in the covered outdoor pool at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center.

Swimmers are invited to attend either session. The tryouts are free and are open to swimmers age 6 and older. For more information, call the BSC office at 541-317-8462.

Football • Judge: Lockout ruling to take ‘couple of weeks’: As she wrapped up the fivehour hearing on the legality of the NFL lockout, the federal judge overseeing the case said she’d take “a couple of weeks” to rule on the players’ request to return to work. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, however, urged the two sides not to wait that long. “It seems to me both sides are at risk, and now is a good time to come back to the table,” Nelson said, noting her willingness to facilitate the resumption of talks toward a new collective bargaining agreement that would put pro football back on track. Owners and players failed to reach that goal last month, leading to the decertification of the union, the lockout of the players and the antitrust lawsuit against the owners filed here by the players.

• Gamecocks suspend QB Garcia indefinitely: South Carolina’s Stephen Garcia has been indefinitely suspended from the football program, less than two weeks after the quarterback guaranteed he would not get in trouble again.

Athletic director Eric Hyman announced the suspension Wednesday. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said the suspension would last through the spring semester and his status beyond that would be determined at a later date. It is Garcia’s fifth suspension — and second this spring — since arriving on campus in January 2007. Garcia would not discuss the reason for the latest suspension, saying only that it did not involve an arrest, nor was it drug or alcohol related.

• Judge finds probable cause for exAuburn players: A judge said Wednesday there’s probable cause for a grand jury to consider charges against four former Auburn University football players accused in a robbery. Lee County District Judge Steven Speakman issued the ruling after granting a defense request to bar the public and media from attending the preliminary hearing because three of the players are under 21. Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens, Mike McNeil and Dakota Mosley are free on bond following their arrests last month in an alleged holdup at the home of other college students. The grand jury meets the first week of May. Coach Gene Chizik kicked all four off the national championship team after their arrests on charges of robbery, theft and burglary.

Basketball • Irving leaving Duke after one season for NBA: Point guard Kyrie Irving is leaving Duke after one season to enter the NBA draft. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement issued Wednesday by the school that Irving plans to hire an agent, ending his college career. Irving played only 11 games and missed roughly twothirds of the season with an injured big toe on his right foot. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists for top-seeded Duke, which was upset by Arizona in the West regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.

• Howard earns another suspension after rare call: Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is poised to serve another one-game suspension after picking

up his NBA-high 18th technical foul of the season. The reason was a rare 10second violation on a free-throw attempt.

The poor-shooting Howard has always been deliberate at the line, and referee Bennett Salvatore called a violation for taking too long to attempt his second shot late in the second quarter Wednesday at Charlotte. As the crowd jeered, Howard tossed the ball away from any official. Salvatore immediately gave Howard a technical. If the call is upheld by the league, Howard will sit out Sunday’s nationally televised game against Eastleading Chicago.

• LeBron signs deal with Fenway Sports Marketing: LeBron James is getting into the soccer business, aligning with the owners of the Boston Red Sox. Fenway Sports Marketing — the sister company of the Red Sox — said Wednesday it has signed James and the management company he helped create, LRMR, to a long-term deal to secure marketing and sponsorship opportunities. As part of the deal, James obtained a piece of Liverpool FC, one of the world’s most famed soccer teams and a longtime marquee franchise in the English Premier League.

Baseball • Barry Bonds rests with no defense witnesses: Barry Bonds’ confident defense team rested its case Wednesday without calling a single witness, just minutes after a federal judge accepted the government’s request to dismiss one of the five counts against the home run king. Prosecutors called 25 witnesses to the stand over 2½ weeks, but the defense needed just one minute to present its side. The jury of eight women and four men barely had time to get settled in the courtroom before being told to return this morning for closing arguments. Once indicted on as many as 15 counts, Bonds will face just four charges when the jury starts deliberations in a court house less than two miles from the ballpark where he set records for the San Francisco Giants. A decision could come as early as Friday.

• Giants remove closer Wilson from DL: The San Francisco Giants have activated closer Brian Wilson from the disabled list. Wilson strained a muscle in his left side March 17 during a spring game.

Wilson led the majors with 48 saves last season for the World Series champions.

To make room for Wilson, the Giants placed right-hander Santiago Casilla on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Friday, with an inflamed right elbow.

• White Sox designated hitter Dunn has appendectomy, out five games: Chicago White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn underwent an emergency appendectomy Tuesday night and will miss at least five games. The team said Dunn felt discomfort during Kansas City’s 7-6, 12-inning victory Tuesday and was taken to a hospital after the game. He was expected to travel with the team to Chicago after a Wednesday afternoon game. Dunn scored a run and was zero for four with a walk and a hit-by-pitch against the Royals. Dunn is hitting .286 with one home run and needs 45 homers to reach 400.

• Rockies place ace Jimenez on DL: Ubaldo Jimenez and the Colorado Rockies were worried the cracked cuticle on his pitching thumb would alter his pitching mechanics and lead to a full-blown arm injury. So, the ace ended up on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, the first trip to the DL for the 27-year-old Dominican who was the All-Star Game’s NL starter last summer. Jimenez, who threw soft toss Wednesday for a third time since Sunday, was treating the cut with anti-bacterial ointment and pickle brine.

NHL ROUNDUP

Blackhawks inch toward playoff spot with win over Blues The Associated Press CHICAGO — Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews shifted into high gear and revived his goal-scoring touch just when his team needed it.

Toews scored on a low shot from the left circle at 3:19 of overtime to give Chicago a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night and move the Blackhawks within two points of a clinching a Western Conference playoff spot.

Toews beat Ty Conklin on the short side after taking a long lead pass from Duncan Keith and racing in with Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo in close pursuit.

“When it comes down to OT or late in the third period, we’re going to find a way to win,” Toews said. “You saw the motivation, the determination we had on the ice tonight.

“Sometimes things click and they go in for you. Sometimes they don’t.”

Marian Hossa, Tomas Kopecky and Nick Leddy scored in the second period to help the defending Stanley Cup champions erase a two-goal deficit.

St. Louis’ Chris Stewart scored midway through the third to set up overtime. T.J. Oshie had a goal and an assist, and David Backes also scored for the Blues, who are out of the playoffs for the second straight season.

On Wednesday, Patrick Sharp, Chicago’s leading goal scorer with 34, returned after missing seven games because of an injured left knee.

“He had a lot of jump in his game,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

Sharp assisted on Hossa’s goal at 7:52 of the second that cut the Blues’ lead to 2-1 — and got the Blackhawks’ offense rolling. The goal withstood a six-minute video review.

The Blackhawks, 3-3-1 in their past seven, improved to 95 points and have two games remaining with the Red Wings, on Friday night in Detroit and Sunday in Chicago.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Indians 8, Red Sox 4: CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera had four RBIs, Shin-Soo Choo hit a two-run homer and Cleveland kept built-to-win Boston winless with a victory that dropped one of baseball’s big spenders to 0-5. The Red Sox are off to their worst start in 15 years and look nothing like the team many forecast to be the last one standing in October. Boston hasn’t started this poorly since 1996.

• White Sox 10, Royals 7: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Carlos Quentin and Chicago pulled off a two-out rally in the ninth inning against All-Star closer Joakim Soria, then Brent Morel hit a go-ahead single in the 12th that beat Kansas City. The energetic Royals were in position to improve to 5-1 after Soria retired the first two batters in the ninth with a 6-3 lead. But Alex Rios and Paul Konerko hit RBI singles and Quentin’s two-run double capped a four-run comeback for a 7-6 edge before the Rays tied it in the bottom of the ninth.

• Rangers 7, Mariners 3: ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch Moreland hit a tiebreaking double off Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez and Texas remained unbeaten, defeating Seattle. The AL champion Rangers are 6-0 for the first time since 1996, when they set a team record by winning their first seven games. Texas has a day off today before starting its first road trip of the season Friday in Baltimore.

• Angels 5, Rays 1: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Winless Tampa Bay lost again when Dan Haren and the Los Angeles Angels shut down the AL East champions. The Rays fell to 0-5. In four of those games, they finished with exactly one run and four hits. Rookie Jeremy Hellickson (0-1) lost despite striking out 10 in 5 2⁄3 innings.

• Tigers 7, Orioles 3: BALTIMORE — Alex Avila homered and had a career-high five RBIs to back an effective pitching performance by Justin Verlander, and Detroit ended Baltimore’s unbeaten run. Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez also connected for the Tigers, who became the first team this season to score more than one run against Baltimore.

• Blue Jays 5, Athletics 3: TORONTO — Travis Snider hit a three-run home run, Yunel Escobar had three hits before leaving with an injury and Toronto beat Oakland. Jesse Litsch pitched 6 1⁄3 innings for his first win since July 20 and Jon Rauch got two outs for his first save as the Blue Jays won for the eighth time in 11 games against the Athletics.

• Giants 8, Padres 4: SAN DIEGO — Tim Lincecum struck out 13 and held San Diego to one run and three hits in seven innings to lead San Francisco to a win. Lincecum left with an 8-1 lead after seven. Closer Brian Wilson, activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game, pitched the ninth in a non-save situation, allowing three runs on two infield singles and a walk.

• Rockies 7, Dodgers 5: DENVER — Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki homered in leading Colorado past the Los Angeles Dodgers for a two-game sweep. Jason Hammel (1-0) was the beneficiary of the pop in the middle of Colorado’s lineup, picking up the win despite allowing two home runs in five innings and falling behind 4-2 in the third.

• Diamondbacks 6, Cubs 4: CHICAGO — Chris Young drove in two runs, scored twice and made a pair of nice catches in center field as Arizona beat Chicago. The Diamondbacks ended their eightgame losing streak against the Cubs.

• Pirates 3, Cardinals 1: ST. LOUIS — Kevin Correia and two relievers combined to slow St. Louis, Neil Walker hit his second home run and Pittsburgh beat the Cardinals. The Pirates won their second road series of the season, now having taken two of three from St. Louis and Chicago.

• Phillies 10, Mets 7: PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Howard tied a career high with four hits and fell a triple short of the cycle, Ben Francisco also homered and Philadelphia beat the New York Mets after wasting a 7-0 lead. Placido Polanco had three hits and three RBIs, including a go-ahead single in the fifth.

• Marlins 7, Nationals 4: MIAMI — John Buck hit a bases-loaded triple and Florida came from behind to win for the second night in a row, this time erasing a four-run deficit. Buck, who hit a grand slam on opening day, missed another by inches in the fifth and settled for a triple that tied the game.

• Reds 12, Astros 4: CINCINNATI — Brandon Phillips and Paul Janish had three hits apiece, and Cincinnati overcame a four-run deficit and remained the NL’s only unbeaten team. The Reds are 5-0 for the first time since 1990, when they won their last World Series championship.

• Brewers 5, Braves 4: MILWAUKEE — Prince Fielder drove in his first three runs this season and scored two more to lead Milwaukee to a victory over Atlanta.

Milwaukee is eliminated, but defeats Miami NBA ROUNDUP

The Associated Press MIAMI — The final sliver of postseason hope for the Milwaukee Bucks went away Wednesday night, that long-expected word coming while they played the Miami Heat.

They were undeterred — and wound up dealing Miami a fairly severe blow.

John Salmons scored 17 points before leaving late in the game with a head gash that needed 12 stitches, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bucks beat the Heat 90-85 about an hour or so after they were eliminated from playoff contention.

“We knew sooner or later that was going to come, but that lets you know where we stand as a team — as competitors also,” Bucks forward Drew Gooden said.

The Bucks only trailed for 9 minutes, 46 seconds against the Heat, who were 3-0 against Milwaukee this season.

“Nobody said this was going to be easy,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Continued from D1 One morning “it was my shower head,” she said with a smile. “I just wanted to kill my shower head.”

Unless you’ve been hiding the sports pages for the past few years, you know where this is headed. Hannah had a concussion — one whose symptoms are still with her in milder form more than a month later — though the slim 15-year-old has never strapped on a football helmet or swung a lacrosse stick. In fact, when a recent study examined the three high school sports that are most similar for boys and girls — basketball, soccer and baseball vs. softball — girls consistently suffered twice as many concussions as boys.

“It is somewhat surprising, because we have not seen this in this age group,” says Andrew Lincoln, director of the MedStar Sports Medicine Research Center at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, who conducted the research using 11 years of data collected in suburban Fairfax County, Va., schools.

We have come a long way in the recognition, treatment and prevention of concussions in the past few years. The National Football League, prompted by congressional scrutiny of the terrible long-term injuries suffered by some of its players, has cracked down on blows to the head. The National Hockey League is developing its own measures. High schools and colleges have devoted more attention to the problem.

But one area in which we still need to increase our efforts is in spotting concussions among high school girls, especially those who play sports not naturally associated with head injuries.

“You’d think it’s always boys and it’s always football, but it’s across the board,” says Eric Castor, a certified athletic trainer at Chantilly High.

Hannah’s nausea and sleepiness caused Elaine Zarnich to think at first that her daughter had caught a stomach bug. A day after the volleyball game, a visit to the doctor confirmed Hannah’s concussion. A few days later, when the on-screen TV guide made no sense to Hannah, the Zarniches contacted Castor.

Football still dominates the high school head-injury landscape, according to Lincoln’s study, which found that the sport was responsible for more than half the 2,651 concussions recorded between 1997 and 2008.

But female soccer players had the second-highest concussion rate of participants in the 12 sports studied, accounting for 7 percent of all concussions.

Cheerleading, which had the lowest rate, still accounted for 5 percent of all concussions.

No one really knows why girls seem more prone, proportionately, to concussions. Girls may simply report injuries more readily than boys. Heavier muscles in the necks and torsos of boys may allow them to better absorb hits to the head.

Headache, dizziness and confusion are the most common of up to 20 symptoms of a concussion, but spotting head injuries can be difficult. Teen athletes may try to hide them, and reaction to a concussion can vary. A January study revealed that the symptoms shown by girls may be different from those shown by boys.

While both complained most often of headaches, boys were more likely to report amnesia and confusion, while girls cited drowsiness and sensitivity to noise.

Hannah enjoyed one lucky break in this frightening saga: Chantilly High offers the ImPACT program, in which every athlete takes a computerized base-line test of cognitive functioning at the beginning of the season. Castor was able to compare Hannah’s memory, processing speed and reaction time against the results of the 20-minute test she took as a member of the school’s freshman volleyball team.

He had her excused from classes and homework, sending her home to sleep as much as she needed. He told her to stay off her cellphone, Facebook and video games. Her one job, he explained, was to rest her brain the way she would an injured muscle.

As Hannah slowly returns to school, Castor is testing her every other day. He can tell she’s improving and her prognosis is good, he says. But recovery from concussions can be unpredictable.

Redmond sweeps Summit in baseball doubleheader Bulletin staff report

John Garrison / For The Bulletin

Bulletin reporter Mark Morical landed this 9-pound, 25-inch bull trout on the Deschutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook.

Trout Continued from D1 Garrison, who operates a guide service out of Sunriver, told the angler it was better to hear about the regulations from a fellow fisherman than from an officer with the Oregon State Police, who could issue him a citation.

The buoy — a similar one of which is located on the Crooked River arm of Lake Billy Chinook — is new this year.

“In the past, there was a lot of confusion on the part of anglers and state police on where the reservoir ended and where the stream began,” said Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The buoy should end the confusion.

Garrison and I would fish just 50 feet away from the confused fishermen — but we would do so legally. He anchored the boat a few feet from the buoy and we set up three rods, two of which we rigged with worms and one with herring. (Garrison has a two-rod angling license, which costs $17, in addition to an annual angling license).

The Deschutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook is home to a variety of trout species, including bull trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and kokanee.

While the Metolius arm of the reservoir is known to hold more bull trout, the Deschutes arm offers a better chance to catch four different species of trout.

After landing the two brown trout earlier, fishing had slowed dramatically on a sunny, 65-degree day. On my partner’s Fishfinder, the reading for the water temperature was 50 degrees — still fairly cold, but better than a couple of weeks ago when, according to Garrison, the water on the Metolius arm was about 43 degrees.

I suggested we cast lures toward shore instead of still-fishing, but Garrison was adamant about using the worms and herring.

Just a few minutes after setting up at the buoy, I landed a 16-inch bull trout and, shortly thereafter, a 15-inch rainbow trout.

Then, just a couple minutes later, the rod with the herring on the line bent deeply.

“That’s a bull,” Garrison said.

I ripped the rod out of its holder, gave two cranks on the reel, then set the hook.

The fish pulled hard, stripping line off the reel. After a five-minute battle, I had it close to the boat, and I maneuvered it into the net Garrison held over the side.

The fish measured 25 inches and weighed 9 pounds — the biggest bull trout

Masters Continued from D1 That figures to change today.

“The Masters has a fear factor, and that’s the best thing about this golf course,” three-time champion Nick Faldo said Wednesday.

Phil Mickelson will try to join some exclusive clubs when he tees off in the opening round as the clear favorite in the first major of the year. Never has Lefty had so much at stake at one tournament.

He can go to No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career. He can join Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer as the only players with at least four green jackets. And he can become only the fourth player to win the Masters in consecutive years.

To show how much he’s ready, Mickelson poured in 18 birdies last weekend to win the Houston Open. And when he arrived at the Masters, one of the first visits he made was to a back specialist.

“This week is the one week where I swing the absolute hardest,” Mickelson said. “I’ve been working out for it. I saw a back specialist just to make sure that my back hangs in there. It feels terrific, but I’ve been working on it for some time to make sure it’s strong enough to withstand the rotational speed that I’m going to be trying to apply this week. Because it’s a big advantage if you can move it out there.”

Woods, no longer the betting favorite at Augusta for the first time since 1999, is more concerned with a shorter club — his putter.

It has kept him from winning the Masters twice in the past four years, and kept him from contending since his return to golf a year ago.

Even so, they remain the two dominant forces.

“The Masters will always start with Tiger and Phil,” said Robert Allenby, who will play with Woods the first two rounds.

“Their record here and the way they play Augusta make them the two to beat.”

I have ever landed.

“Don’t ever tell the guide what to do!”

Garrison barked with a grin. “Throw lures?

I said no, and where’d we end up?”

I decided to keep the big bull after releasing the four smaller trout I had landed earlier.

On Lake Billy Chinook, anglers are allowed to keep one bull trout longer than 24 inches per day. The trout bag limit is five.

All bull trout not kept in the daily catch limit must be immediately released unharmed.

Bull trout are typically characterized by their aggressive feeding on kokanee and by their coloring: olive green to bronze backs, with pale yellow, orange or salmon-colored spots.

Federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1998, bull trout are continuing to thrive in Lake Billy Chinook, though they appear a bit skinnier than usual this spring.

“The last spawner escapement (numbers) for kokanee was a little bit down,” Hodgson noted. “There may not be as much kokanee available in the reservoir for those bull trout right now.”

While still-fishing with worms and herring was our method for the day, other options include trolling for bulls and browns, casting lures for all species and jigging for kokanee throughout the reservoir.

The water near the buoy is a popular spot to fish, particularly in the summertime for those targeting rainbows and browns, according to Hodgson.

“The cold water coming down the Deschutes from the Foley Waters area is a big attraction to all those species,” Hodgson said. “Everything is more dispersed throughout the reservoir this time of year.”

To aid the reintroduction of steelhead and chinook salmon into Lake Billy Chinook and the Upper Deschutes Basin, Portland General Electric has altered how water is released from Round Butte Dam, resulting in a cooling of the reservoir.

“That will change the distribution of fish in the reservoir,” Hodgson explained. “How that affects angling, everybody will have to wait and see. Overall, it should make it a more productive water body.”

It was certainly productive for us on that day last week, as we let our patience prevail to land six sizable trout, including the unforgettable 9-pounder.

“A very slow day turned into a very good day,” Garrison reflected, “because we were persistent.”

The difference this year: They have some company.

PGA champion Martin Kaymer is No. 1 in the world and will try to win his second straight major. He considers the favorite to be Luke Donald, who beat Kaymer in the Match Play Championship earlier this year.

Then there’s Westwood, who has been no worse than third in four of the past five majors. Throw in the likes of Dustin Johnson, Nick Watney, Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey, and the smallest field of any major suddenly has a long list of contenders.

Some of that is a new generation arriving. Some of that is Woods no longer standing in their way.

“In the past, a lot of guys used up a lot of energy thinking about Tiger and what he’s doing. Now they’re doing their own thing and thinking about what they’re needing to do,” Faldo said. “There’s genuinely 20 guys who could win this. I’m hoping we have a dozen guys coming down the back nine Sunday with a shot.”

What had been considered a wide open Masters became slightly more narrow with Mickelson’s win last week in Houston. And while Woods has gone 17 months without a win, Nicklaus won’t rule him out.

“They both are going to play well,” Nicklaus said. “But there are other guys who will do the same.”

The names he mentioned all had one trait — they hit the ball high and long, always a good combination at Augusta. But with a forecast for sunshine the rest of the week, which will make the course fast and firm and shorter than its 7,435 yards, there has been more talk about the short game than usual this week.

“You don’t have to be a big hitter to win here,” Mickelson said. “If your short game isn’t sharp, you really need to strike it exceptionally well. I don’t know if it’s really possible, because the penalty for a slight miss-hit is in an area where you have be on your short game. So anybody — whether you are long or short — if you’re on your short game, you have a good chance.”

REDMOND — Summit failed to keep up with Redmond’s hot bats Wednesday as the Panthers swept the visiting Storm 15-5 and 7-3 at a nonconference baseball doubleheader in Redmond.

In the first game, the Panthers (8-2 overall) raced to a 5-1 second inning lead before posting 10 runs in the final two innings, forcing an early fifth-inning end to the game because of the 10-run rule.

Noah Westerhuis doubled, homered and scored three runs for Redmond, which got a solid outing by relief pitcher J.D. Abbas.

“Abbas just shut the door on them,” said Redmond assistant coach Mike Steele on Abbas’ save.

In the second game, Redmond pitcher Parker Vernon struck out five and limited Summit to five singles.

Jake Branham and Brady Anderson recorded doubles for the Panthers, who grabbed a 6-1 lead in the third inning and never looked back.

The Storm (2-8 overall) travel to Hood River Valley on Friday, while Redmond hosts Mountain View Saturday.

TRACK AND FIELD Bend boys, girls defeat Redmond REDMOND — Bend swept Redmond on its own track, but in two very close dual meets. After Bend’s girls prevailed by nine points, 78-67, the Bend boys won their meet by just a single point, 73-72. Bend’s Danny

Verdieck claimed victories in the 110 -meter hurdles with a time of 15.91 seconds and the 300 in 43, 47. Redmond’s Jacob Crivelone prevailed in the shot put (46 feet, 1 inch) and the discus (126,9). Bend’s Jenna Mattox was an easy winner in the 1,500 meters, with a time of 5 minutes, 33.74 seconds, and also the 3,000 (11:10.65). The Lava Bears’ Shawni Wall posted victories in the long jump (15 feet, 2.5 inches) and the triple jump (31 feet, 7 inches).

Mountain View tops Crook County PRINEVILLE — Mountain View’s boys and girls teams both posted victories at Crook County. Bri Rosen was a double winner for the Cougars, in the 100 and 200 meters, and Anna Roshak set a personal best in the shot put at just over 34 feet to lead the girls to an 93.5-49.5 victory. The boys meet was much closer, with Mountain View prevailing 81-68. The Cougars’ Blake Bosch and Mitch Modin shared top honors in the high jump, both clearing 6 feet. Mitch Van Domelen won the 100 meters for the Cowboys with a time of 11.67 seconds, and Crook County teammate Jordan Reeher claimed the 400 (52.96).

Tennis Continued from D1 Class 6A Redmond, Class 5A Summit and Class 4A Crook County are all expected to challenge for district championships and possibly even trophies at their respective state tournaments.

The 6A Panthers are coming off a 2010 season in which they finished second in the Central Valley Conference district tournament, tying champion West Salem in the number of CVC dual match victories. Redmond is led by 2010 state qualifier Karli Christensen, who this year has shown a stronger serve, ground stroke and volley, according to Panther coach Nathan Saito. The junior’s improvements have also made her more confident in big-point shots.

“She’s playing lights-out right now,” Saito says of Christensen’s recent doubles play with partner Emmalee Cron.

The Panthers, off to a fast start with wins against Sisters, Summit, The Dalles Wahtonka and Hood River Valley, boast a team seven seniors strong: Cron, Genna Miller, Chloe Woodward, Haley Hartford, Miranda McCall, Anna Brumbley and Kelly Murphy. Junior Monica Johnson has filled the No. 1 singles spot for Redmond so far this season. “(Johnson) has a strong chance to go to state,” Saito says.

In 5A, the Storm are back with a deeper, more competitive team this season after finishing second to Crook County at last year’s Intermountain Conference district tournament. Junior Hannah Shephard, who won the 5A state doubles title last year with then-senior Jessie Drakulich, is back, as is senior captain Mackenzie Sundborg, who also advanced to state last year in doubles.

“I think we have a pretty solid team,” Summit coach Bob Harrington says.

Juniors Mikaela Forest, Lisa Caine and Hailey Dodson return to provide additional varsity experience for the Storm, while freshmen Haley Younger, Lindsey Brodeck and Kelsey Collis have already impressed Harrington with their play. Younger and Brodeck, along with Shephard, compete yearround and are all ranked in the United States Tennis Association Pacific Northwest standings.

Can the Storm bring home the Special District 1 title this spring?

“Oh, absolutely,” Harrington says.

2011 Central Oregon girls tennis outlook A look at local teams competing in girls tennis this spring:

CLASS 6A Redmond Panthers Head coach: Nathan Saito (10th season) 2010 finish: Second at Central Valley Conference district championships Returning state qualifier: Karli Christensen, jr.

CVC championships: May 11 at Redmond and May 13 in Salem

CLASS 5A Bend Lava Bears Head coach: Kevin Collier (14th season) 2010 finish: Tied for third at Intermountain Conference district championships Returning state qualifier: Bryn Oliveira, sr.

Special District 1: May 9-10 in Hermiston Mountain View Cougars Head coach: Misha Therrian (first season this tenure; fourth overall) 2010 finish: Sixth at Intermountain Conference district championships Top player: Hayati Wolfenden, jr.

Special District 1: May 9-10 in Hermiston Summit Storm Head coach: Bob Harrington (fourth season) 2010 finish: Second at Intermountain Conference district championships;

girls’ chances this year playing at the 4A level.

Senior Erin Crofcheck has earned a state berth in singles the past three years, and she and sophomores Katie Brown and Braiden Johnston, both 5A state qualifiers in doubles last season, provide the foundation for a strong Crook County team. Add to the mix Brazilian foreign-exchange student Barb Suruie, who is “a very accomplished player, right up there with the best,” according to Rodgers, and the Cowgirls should contend for another district title.

“We’re stronger than ever,” Rodgers notes.

Led by 2010 state qualifier Bryn

fourth at Class 5A state championships Returning state qualifiers: Mackenzie Sundborg, sr.; Hannah Shephard, jr.

Special District 1: May 9-10 in Hermiston

CLASS 4A/3A/2A/1A Crook County Cowgirls Head coach: Lloyd Rodgers (10th season) 2010 finish: First at Intermountain Conference district championships Returning state qualifiers: Erin Crofcheck, sr.; Braiden Johnston, jr.; Katie Brown, jr.

Greater Oregon League championships: May 12-13 in Ontario Madras White Buffaloes Head coach: Dave Jordan (third season) 2010 finish: Seventh at Intermountain Conference district championships Top player: Brenda Olivera, sr.

Class 4A/3A/2A/1A Special District 2 championships: May 9, 11-12 in Portland Sisters Outlaws Head coach: Marti Dale (fifth season) 2010 finish: Fifth at Special District 3 championships Top players: Amity Calvin, jr.; Megan Minke, so.

Class 4A/3A/2A/1A Special District 3 district championships: May 12-13 at Black Butte Ranch

Oliveira — she also won a state doubles title in 2009 — Bend returns 10 varsity players, four of whom are seniors, with hopes to compete for the 5A Special District 1 title. At Mountain View, Hayati Wolfenden looks to be the top Cougar on a young squad.

Back in 4A, Sisters’ top singles players Amity Calvin and Megan Minke are back to help the Outlaws improve on last season’s fifth-place finish at the district tournament. At Madras, Brenda Olivera is expected to be the White Buffaloes’ top player in their first year in 4A. James Williams can be reached at jwilliams@bendbulletin.com.

Fly-fishing gear put to the test in the rivers of Chile GARY LE WIS

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

“Y

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: The reservoir will reopen for fishing on April 23.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Make sure you have a supply of blue-winged olives for April.

However, high flows can limit success and anglers are encouraged to monitor flows before venturing out (river flows near Prineville).

Casting the Beulah 7-weight rod on an unnamed river in Chile.

Gary Lewis / For The Bulletin

A Chilean brown trout waits for a picture before it is returned to the water. have if the line and rod had been matched.

Of the two Cabela’s rods I tested, this was my favorite for its tip-oriented action. The reel seat is carbon fiber and there are pleasing touches that make the rod stand out on the rack. Perhaps I like it so well because I caught more 20-inch-plus fish in one day with it than any other rod I’ve handled.

If I have one complaint, it is that the handle is too small for my grip. That was easily remedied with an application of RodWrap.

The handle was also my complaint with the 4-weight, 10-foot Orvis Helios (www. orvis.com). Again, RodWrap was the remedy. After casting the big 7-weight all day, I switched to the Orvis rod. It was like a magic wand.

The 4-weight Helios is marvelous for small stream trout and surprisingly adept at taming bigger fish like the furious 17-inch Fall River rainbow I turned on a cold January day.

A lot of anglers have switched to widearbor reels. Cabela’s new cassette reel, the WLx 56, was designed by Waterworks-Lamson to provide a larger surface area for putting line back on the reel and plenty of room for backing. I found the drag quick to use and the reel, in battle, light and strong.

All the drag components are sealed and require no lubrication. To keep the reel in good condition, all you have to do is rinse it after fishing the saltwater and, sometimes, put a drop of oil on the handle.

“This reel is like a piece of jewelry,” one guy said when he saw the new Crofoot Twin.

The Crofoot (www.crofootflyreels.com) is made to carry two lines at once. You don’t have to tote an extra spool to switch out for a sinking line. It’s right there on your rod.

Cover the spool that is not being used with a provided Velcro strap.

The handle and drag are on the same side and the drag works in both directions, which takes some getting used to. On the flip side, the reel can be turned around for right-hand use.

In one afternoon, I landed 34 trout with the Crofoot reel and the Helios. Stripping line for a longer cast was easier with this reel than any other I’ve used. Because there is no guide over the arbor, the angler can pull line from the reel at a 90-degree angle. Overall, I love the concept, and I love that it is built in Central Oregon.

ou swim?” Ricardo Elaina handed me a Sospender life vest. Everything that could be secured to the frame of the raft was tied or clipped on.

Jim and Joyce Norman readied their boat at the same time.

Ricardo is a national rowing champion from Chile. The Rio Simpson is one of his country’s great rivers. What could go wrong?

“This is my second time on this section of the river. You are the first guest.”

Jim looked at me. “They picked you for the first run because you are young, you can swim and are not very bright.”

I looked down at my life vest. The instruction was simple. It said, “Jerk To Inflate.”

“I hope you stay close to our boat in case we flip over,” I told him. “I might need you to pull this cord out for me.”

With a whole boatload of gear to employ, I was glad we didn’t flip over and leave some of it swirling at the bottom of an eddy. Over the past few months, at home and abroad, I’ve had the chance to put several new rods and reels to work.

The trend in fly rod design is to four- and five-piece rods to serve the traveling angler.

New technology allows for tight tolerances and strong ferrules that subtract nothing from the action. Rod manufacturers have caught on that we have a hard time lining up the guides.

I like the little dots at the male and female ferrules that allow for quick alignment.

I liked the Beulah 7-weight Guide Series (www.beulahflyrods) rod for its backbone.

With two stripping guides, a fighting butt and a full-Wells handle, I had the control to power casts into the wind. Its multi-hued cork made it distinctive. Its best fish was a 21-inch hookjawed brown trout that sipped a Fat Albert and back-flipped like a rainbow.

Cabela’s 6-weight HDT (www.cabelas. com), a 9-footer, is intended for big fish on big water in heavy wind. It did cast well in the breeze, but it struck me as a good choice for stillwater trout and bass. If the fish are big and best taken on an intermediate sink line or a sink tip, this rod with its forgiving action is a good choice.

I cast Cabela’s 6-weight LSi on a mountain lake where the first trout was a 25-inch rainbow that fought like a branch. The second, minutes later, was 26 inches long and ripped into my backing and broke water like a steelhead.

Out of necessity, I paired the rod with a 5weight sink tip and was able to throw a big streamer a long way, but not as far as I could

FLY-TYING CORNER

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Wilcox’s Egg Laying Caddis, from Camp Sherman Fly Shop.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

When, on a spring or summer afternoon, you see female caddis return to the water to bob up and down and dive beneath the surface, you are witness to the egg-laying cycle. Tie on Wilcox’s Egg Laying Caddis. With its sloping hook and suggestive egg sack, the pattern gives the illusion of motion that brings trout to the top.

Use this pattern on a long leader on slow-moving flat water. To raise the excitement level, knot a short section of leader to the bend of the hook,

employing an unweighted mayfly nymph or emerger as a dropper. In faster currents, try skittering the fly on the surface.

Tie Wilcox’s Egg Laying Caddis with rust colored thread on a No. 12-18 curved dry-fly hook. For the tail, use white CDC, calf tail or a synthetic. Wrap the body with olive dubbing, one strand of green Krystal Flash and a dry-fly hackle. Tie in a spray of elk hair then wrap a thorax of brown dry-fly hackle and pull the elk hair forward to tie down at the head.

OUTING

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

Last week’s warm weather teaser appears to have been just that, as it’s back to late-winter conditions on the trails.

“I think folks are ready to shift gears,” said Deschutes National Forest trails specialist Chris Sabo, “but it’s limited spring and summer trails so far.”

Instead, Sabo suggests people keep skiing, showshoeing and snowmobiling. All of the sno-parks along Bend’s Century Drive are open and in good condition, with particularly good snow around Mt. Bachelor and Dutchman Flat Sno-park.

The snow line, he said, is at about 4,500 to 5,000 feet.

Edison Sno-park, just off Century Drive toward Sunriver, is in poor condition, said Sabo, because it’s a bit lower than the others.

Likewise, he said snowmobilers should no longer use the Mount Bachelor loop trail system, a popular trail that begins at Edison, because of early spring plowing in the area.

At lower elevations, trails are mostly in “early spring conditions,” Sabo said. “They can be firmed up and dry or they can be muddy. It just depends on the whim of the weather day.”

In general, the Deschutes River Trail is dry from the Meadow Picnic Area to Dillon Falls, Sabo said.

Phil’s Trail is dry from its origin to about four or five miles out.

Sabo said if people do encounter muddy conditions on trails, they should tread carefully and avoid using bikes or horses, which can damage trails. Muddy trails are more prone to erosion.

Sabo also suggested that people head east if they can’t wait to break out their summer hiking gear. The Badlands and Smith Rock areas are both free of snow right now, Sabo said, and are good spots to hike.

The Peterson Ridge Trail, near Sisters, is also a good choice at this time of year, Sabo said, particularly for mountain bikers. There is a bike event this Sunday at that trail, he said, so it will be more populated than usual.

Sabo cautioned that at this time of year, things can change in an instant. People should check conditions before they go out and take plenty of extra gear for unforeseen circumstances.

“In this unsettled weather pattern that we’ve been in for the last several weeks, it’s just a day-today guess at what’s going to be good and where.”

Finding

spring Satisfy your senses with multiple shades of green at Henline Mountain

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

very year, I look forward to my first spring trip over the mountains into the valley. It’s like entering the Emerald City just as soon as you’re over the pass. The green hues of the trees and leaves — particularly when wet — so fully saturate your winter-starved senses that it’s hard to believe you’ve ever seen green before.

That’s exactly how it was last Friday, when I took advantage of a springlike day to head over the pass for a hike up Henline Mountain.

Henline isn’t the biggest peak, or the most challenging, nor does it have the best view.

What it does have is the grand fortune of being far enough west that spring arrives there much earlier than it does in Central Oregon.

The drive to Henline is half the fun. Crossing over Santiam Pass, you get the aforementioned verdant experience, as well as the inviting waters around the Detroit dam.

About a half hour short of Salem, at the town of Mahama, you turn on a lovely road heading northeast into the Little North Fork Recreation Area.

Girl’s promiscuity is Show offers comedian a comeback no cause for pride ‘Sports Show With

By Dave Itzkoff

New York Times News Service

DEAR ABBY rape when the girl gets angry at him for almost no reason. The welfare of all the children is at stake!

— “Snooper” in Wisconsin Dear Abby: This letter literally makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I think about a mother who would actually brag about something like this to family and do nothing about it. That mother is in desperate need of counseling, and Naomi is in desperate need of guidance because, obviously, she’s not getting any from her mom. I wonder if her dad has any idea what’s going on?

— A Mom in Great Falls, Mont.

Dear Abby: This girl’s mother is abdicating her responsibilities as a parent and indirectly condoning and encouraging her daughter’s promiscuous behavior. The emotional damage could be irreparable. Naomi is being used and abused by any young man with whom she is involved.

The aunt should talk to her sister and, if there is a father in the house, he needs to know about his daughter.

In my opinion, that mother wants her daughter to be popular for all the wrong reasons. Mom sounds like someone who sat on the sidelines in high school and never understood that what makes a person popular is the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation, get good grades, provide community service and so on. Pity!

Which of the following moments from Norm MacDonald’s career highlight reel makes him the ideal candidate to host a new Comedy Central series about the world of sports?

Is it the bit from his recent stand-up special about his plan to get away with murdering a woman in cold blood?

The fact that he already has two unheralded network sitcoms on his résumé? Or that in his most prominent role as a comedy news anchor, at the “Weekend Update” desk of “Saturday Night Live,” he was pulled from the job?

These elements all contribute to the mystique of MacDonald, a performer with a cheerful, mumbly delivery, a cult following and his first full-time onscreen job in seven years.

He is the host of “Sports Show With Norm MacDonald,” which makes its debut Tuesday, April 12, and which Comedy Central excitedly hopes will do for professional athletics what “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” has done for politics.

His relentless candor as a joke teller and his all-overthe-map career trajectory have given MacDonald a reputation for rebelliousness that he says is undeserved.

Though it may not be evident in his material, he says he is mellowing.

“It’s just aging,” MacDonald, 47, said last week in Manhattan. “Younger people are more dangerous.”

If the idea of MacDonald riffing on current events still has the power to unnerve, it may stem from his 1990sera tenure at “SNL,” where he contributed nonchalant impressions of Bob Dole and Burt Reynolds, and was yanked from “Weekend Up-

As off-kilter and off-the-cuff as his comedy can seem, MacDonald has always sought precise control of it. At “Weekend Update,” he said he was “doing a specific experiment, where I was trying to strip all cleverness from the joke and try and make it as blunt as possible.” He added, “I always told everybody the perfect joke would be where the setup and punch line were identical.”

He had little opportunity to break boundaries in the television roles that followed, on “The Norm Show” (later shortened to “Norm”), which ran for three seasons on ABC, and “A Minute With Stan Hooper,” which ran for just one season on Fox.

Feeling certain that his television scripts and performances were unfunny, MacDonald spent much of the last decade focusing on stand-up and making the occasional talk-show appearance.

Though MacDonald is a moderate-to-inveterate sports fan, he acknowledged it took some cajoling to rouse him from his comfortable postsitcom rut.

An unbroadcast pilot for “Sports Show” found MacDonald in a familiar position, sitting in an anchor’s chair, delivering jokes about Tiger Woods, Brett Favre and Michael Vick directly into the camera.

He said he and his writing staff were still figuring out the weekly show, which will be taped on Monday nights for Tuesday broadcasts to ensure it will be as current as possible.

The challenge, he said, would be to integrate more of his freeform spirit without alienating viewers who know or care little about sports, and without copying programs like ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”

“Jon Stewart can do ‘The Daily Show,’ and since network news is so ridiculous and horrible, he can parody that,” MacDonald said.

“On the other hand, ‘SportsCenter’ is a really cool show and really fun, and already ironic, so to parody that is the complete wrong thing to do.”

SAY IT THREE TIMES ...

Dear Abby: I’m the mother of two boys who are 12 and 13.

The letter from “Terrified for My Niece in the Southwest” (Feb. 16) horrified me. The aunt who wrote the letter said her sister “bragged” about how popular her 14- year-old daughter is because she gives oral sex to the boys. Is this the kind of girl my sons are exposed to at school?

I know kids are curious and experiment at this age, but it’s disturbing that the mother of this girl doesn’t see that her actions are dangerous and can lead to more serious sexual situations.

If she were my niece, I would speak up and let Mom know exactly how I felt in hopes that she would recognize how inappropriate her daughter’s actions are.

Pregnancy can become a harsh reality to a parent who was blind to the seriousness of her child’s actions.

— Yvette in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.

Dear Yvette: Thank you for writing. Many readers were equally disturbed by that letter, and a few even questioned its authenticity. I spoke to the aunt who wrote the letter. She verified that she had written it and everything she said was true.

Perhaps the following responses will serve as a wake-up call for teens and parents: Dear Abby: I have been a criminal investigator for more than 38 years and can state with certainty that having sex with Naomi is a felony in most, if not all, states, particularly if the boy is over the age of 16. At 14, this girl is not able to give consent. What is happening is considered an act of rape, even if it is voluntary on her part.

Someone needs to intervene now before some “innocent” boy gets charged with a crime. I’ve handled too many cases where boys have been charged with

Outing Continued from E1 The road hugs the side of the Little North Fork Santiam River to its left, before crossing over to the right side. It’s as scenic a drive as you’ll find in these parts.

If you’re not partial to challenging hiking, there are at least three sizable waterfalls along this route, making it a fitting destination for a spring drive.

My plan was to get a little bit of elevation gain, climbing to an old lookout site near the top of 4,115foot Henline Mountain.

The road from Mahama winds a little more than 16 miles to a fork in the road. From there’s it’s another mile up the left fork to the trailhead. The last couple of miles are gravel road, but fine for passenger cars if you take it slowly.

From the trailhead, the trail starts to climb immediately.

There’s no feeling-out period here. The trail switchbacks steeply up the mountain. The route to the top climbs up 2,700 feet in about 2.7 miles. Do the math, it’s about a thousand feet up for every mile. (Compare that to the grade of the Pilot Butte trail, which climbs 500 feet in about a mile.)

At about the one-mile mark, you’ll come to a pair of rock outcroppings that offer a nice view of the river valley and the hills that tower over it. The forest here is a luscious green, with feathery moss covering the Douglas firs.

But above the 3,000-foot level, snow stuck stubbornly to the trail, slowing my progress. In fact, the trail cuts into the slope to creates a platform for snow to collect and linger long after snow on the periphery has melted away.

I did my best to stay off the vegetation alongside the trail, but found myself sinking deep into the snow on the trail. I rounded a ridge and headed north along a level traverse across a steep snow slope. But it was clear that the traverse would be long and difficult. The snow was steep enough that I didn’t want to cross it on snowshoes and soft enough that it would have taken me forever to get to the final switchbacks to the summit farther north.

I backtracked to the ridge and tried a direct assault but was soon rebuffed by large rocky cliffs. I ventured into a mossy gap in the cliffs, but soon realized a slip there could be disastrous.

Discretion being the better part of survival, I opted to hightail it back to the car.

A better option right now might be the one-mile hike up to the 60-

Markian Hawryluk / The Bulletin

At higher elevations, Henline Mountain is still covered in deep snow. It may take the rest of April for the trail to melt out.

If you go Getting there: From Santiam Pass, drive west to Mehama, then take a right (north) on Forest Road 2209 into the Little North Fork Recreation Area. Pass the 16 mile marker, then bear left at the fork in the road. The trailhead is another mile up the gravel road, on the left.

foot Henline Falls. The trailhead is just a mile up the road toward Mehama from Henline Mountain trailhead. According to the website PortlandHikers.org, you can venture into the first 0.2 miles of the tunnel entrance to the old Silver King Mine in one of the cliffs above the falls. But it’s not safe to go any farther.

It may have been a couple of weeks to early for Henline Mountain. If I had to guess, I’d say the route to the top might be snow-free by the end of April, and not much sooner. Once the trail is clear, a strong and motivated hiker could probably make it to the top in an hour, although budgeting three or four for the round-trip would be a more enjoyable pace.

I guess it’s still not really spring up high, even west of the mountains.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 7, 2011: This year, you rethink many of your decisions of the past. You also are more aware of your greater potential. In this type of process, it is often tempting to look backward, not forward. There is no purpose in analyzing the past without going into the future. If you are single, others find you to be flirtatious and desirable. Enjoy the many content moments, and know that you don’t need to make a commitment until you are ready. If you are attached, the two of you renew your caring and frequently go out as a couple.

GEMINI understands you well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH One doesn’t need to be up for long to note the tenor of your day.

Confusion seems to reign as you symbolically play “who’s on first.” If you maintain a sense of humor, you actually could be laughing. Tonight: Swap war stories with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH With chaos as a theme, especially when dealing with funds, you know what not to do. Make no decisions; take no action or do anything that could have an impact.

Observe rather than play. Tonight: A happy Bull is a frugal Bull!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Yes, you might have stardust dropping on you, but look around.

If everyone in your life is having issues, perhaps even just talking to you, how good of day can it be?

Remain sensitive to an older relative or friend. Tonight: Keep on smiling.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH Realize that you cannot do it all, nor would you want to. Just the same, take advantage of an opportunity to do just that. You might remember where your desire to cooperate came from! A sense of humor goes far.

Tonight: Extra R and R. (Do vanish.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might be naturally more jovial than many of your contemporaries. Still, enough is enough in your book — especially when an associate or loved one you considered stable goes flaky.

The good news: This too will pass!

Tonight: Where your friends are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You easily might be left holding the bag, as much tumbles to the wayside. How you handle a situation and decision you need to make might not be the norm. Look around — how normal is everything? Then decide.

Tonight: Could be late, very late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Reach out for a friend or associate who often gives you excellent advice. You might not be ready for this person’s opinions and feedback. You’ll see a situation far differently after a discussion.

Rethink your options. Tonight: Put on a great piece of music.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Close relating occurs with so much ease that you might be frightened! Do whatever you need to do to be harmonious with this person. Ultimately, is that not what you want? Stay open and light with others. Tonight: It is nearly the

weekend. Add in more romance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might like being in charge, but that looks like allowing some other person to do what you normally handle. This person needs that experience and opens up with ease. Another person’s high creativity triggers your innate ingenuity. Tonight: Determine your weekend plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal with someone as directly as possible. You might not be sure about what could emerge from this situation. A roommate or family member seems very energetic.

Let this person pick up what you would prefer not to do. Tonight: Get as much rest as possible. You are going to need it come Saturday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might not be workoriented or in the mood to accomplish much. A good conversation here and there allows greater give-andtake within these relationships.

Face it — you feel like a socialite of sorts. And you want to be one, too.

Tonight: Start the weekend early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Hold another’s place open until he or she can center and make a decision. You know what is happening within a special relationship — the other party might not be getting the message. Tonight: Go with the flow, but stay home.

Netflix to bring more Don Draper, nabs ‘Mad Men’ rerun rights

By Ben Fritz and Joe Flint Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Netflix, in a sign of its growing importance in television, will become Don Draper’s second home.

The home entertainment company has bought the rerun rights to the TV series “Mad Men,”

making its online streaming service the next place to watch episodes after the show’s initial airing on cable network AMC. Netflix will pay “Mad Men” producer Lionsgate between $750,000 and $900,000 per episode, according to people familiar with the situation.

The first-of-its-kind deal means that reruns for the critically acclaimed program won’t air on a broadcast or cable network, as typically is the case.

It’s the first time that Netflix has bought syndication rights to a currently airing program for its online streaming service.

Though the agreement is a sign of Netflix’s growing influence in the television industry, it also underscores the tough hurdles Lionsgate might have faced trying to sell the show to a traditional network. Serialized dramas such as “Mad Men” do not perform well in reruns, nega-

tively impacting their value.

For example, A&E shelled out $2.6 million per episode for reruns of HBO’s mob drama “The Sopranos” and the show performed poorly. Reruns of ABC’s “Lost” and Fox’s “24” also did not deliver good returns for various networks.

The first four 13-episode sea-

sons of “Mad Men” will debut on Netflix Instant on July 27. Future episodes will not become available on Netflix’s streaming service, which many people access on their televisions, until seasons are complete. “Mad Men” creator Matt Weiner has said he expects to produce three more seasons.

Local man learns to put his life back together after on-the-job injuries

By Markian Hawryluk

The Bulletin

J.R. Litehiser was nearly done working in a basement in Portland when the house blew up.

A specialist in decorative concrete, Litehiser had been working with flammable materials.

He still has no idea what caused the spark.

He remembers running out of the house with his clothes on fire, handing his cellphone to a passerby and dropping to the ground to put out the flames.

When he next woke up eight weeks later in the burn unit of a Portland hospital, he had lost part of his right arm, including his hand, and had burns over 84 percent of his body.

That was nearly three years ago.

Today, the 36-year-old Central Oregon resident is not the same man who went into that basement.

Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with celiac disease.

These proteins are found in all forms of wheat, including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn and faro. They are also in rye, barley and triticale.

Gluten-free grains that can be used instead include rice, corn (maize), soy, potato, tapioca, bean, garfava, sorghum, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, arrowroot, amaranth, teff, flax and nut flours.

Construction workers stretch to reduce risk of job injuries

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

At 7 a.m. every workday, dozens of construction workers gather in the gymnasium of the future Ridgeview High School in Redmond to warm up their bodies and stretch their muscles. But don’t get the wrong idea: They’re not wearing Lycra. They’re not meditating on yoga mats.

Skanska USA Building’s “stretch and flex” program is intended to reduce on-the-job, soft-tissue injuries common in labor-intensive construction work.

The crews, clad in jeans, boots, reflective vests and hard hats, move quickly through a series of warmup exercises and stretches.

Jeff Herd, the Skanska superintendent in charge of subcontractors and crews on the job, said since the program started in 1996, the exercises have significantly reduced the frequency of soft-tissue injuries.

“We have reduced strains and sprains by 60 percent and back injuries by 80 percent,” he said, based on anecdotal experience.

Rather than throw cold stiff bodies right into heavy lifting and awkward bending, crews get their blood pumping by side stepping, shoulder shrugging, and lots of big arm motions. Then they run through a series of standing stretches, holding each gently for about 10 seconds. They stretch their chests by extending their arms out wide and have specific stretches for their arms, shoulders, necks and legs. They do some squats.

It all takes no more than 15 minutes, Herd said, and it’s also used as an opportunity to discuss the day’s plans and share updates on the project.

Is there resistance and grumbling from when people realize the morning stretching session is mandatory under Skanska’s policy?

“Oh yes,” said Herd with a laugh. “It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I’m 50 and I grew up in this industry. I’m the sixth generation carpenter in my family. If I was 20 again I’d take better care of my body than I did. That’s the message I try to get across.”

He added: “It’s a generational thing. Our construction industry, the generations are changing.

As I grew up in it, the attitude of

New high school The 1,400-student high school at Southwest Elkhorn Avenue and Canal Boulevard in Redmond is scheduled to open September 2012 to alleviate overcrowding at Redmond High School. Construction is expected to wrap up next spring. A webcam to check on the project is running through the school district’s website (www.redmond.k12.or.us), but don’t go looking for crews stretching; they’re not doing it in front of the camera.

construction workers was different than today. More four letter words. More of a macho, machismo thing. It was a rough-and-tumble industry. Now it’s a profession versus a job. That’s what we’re trying to emphasize. You’ll do this for 20 to 40 years, so longevity of your body is a moneymaker. Plus, when we get to retire, we’ll still get to fish and hunt (if our bodies feel good.)”

Regardless, he said, “I get a lot of, ‘Where’s your leotard?’”

But most of the workers seem to realize the benefits of stretching, he said.

“The beautiful thing is, it’s mandatory, so everyone has to do it. It’s not a peer issue, there’s no ridiculing.” And if they refuse to participate, it’s grounds for dismissal. No one on the Ridgeview job — about 160 workers from all over Central Oregon and some from the Willamette Valley — has refused to participate.

The “stretch and flex” program originated within the ranks of the Baugh Construction company in Hillsboro in 1996, before Skanska, a worldwide development and construction company, bought Baugh in 2000. The program has spread across the nation.

It was originally created because strains and sprains had been rising. A physician helped the company develop exercises based on statistics about what exactly the injuries were. Construction workers often get carpel tunnel. They often pull and strain their backs and shoulders.

Lifting and moving heavy materials, from re-bar to cabinets, is the biggest culprit, Herd said. Their

form, the ergonomics, are typically awkward, he said.

But it’s not just the heavy lifters doing the stretching, he said. Even Skanska’s office staff, who primarily work in desk jobs, stretch, he said.

A little movement is good for anyone. And this daily routine does not have to be limited to the construction industry.

Focus Physical Therapy owner Burke Selbst said the construction workers are conditioning the muscles so they’re more flexible, which would help prevent injuries that happen when tight muscles are suddenly strained. The same would apply to, say, someone who works in a brewery, who sees a keg start to fall. They might suddenly twist awkwardly to grab it, and strain or overload their muscles, unless the muscles were warmed up and ready.

Most soft tissue injuries happen when healthy tissue gets excessively overloaded, Selbst said. It can happen quickly, if something is suddenly lifted or pushed. Or the injuries can happen slowly, over time, like carpel tunnel, he said.

Different jobs have different risks. Those who sit at desks all day might not pull their shoulder muscles, but their joints would be healthier if they got regular movement. Joints, he said, are dependent on compression, from movement, to stay healthy. The person with a desk job should get out of his chair and bend his knees, like a squat, and arch his spine backward occasionally. He should clasp hands behind the back and stretch open the chest and stretch arms overhead, bringing the elbows toward the ears. He should gently twist the spine, using the back of the chair as leverage.

The employee who stands on his feet all day should work to keep a strong core, with exercises that target that area, he said.

People don’t think about preparing their bodies for work as much as they do for athletic endeavors, but the same principles apply, Selbst said.

“It’s the same for any activity you do for a lot of time,” he said.

“You need to train.”

DAYTON, Ohio — Sticking to an exercise program can be difficult if you feel you are not making progress quickly enough.

Even if given the same training program, changes in body fat, strength and muscle happen to each of us at different rates. Many factors can affect how the body responds to exercise.

Some of these factors are within our control, such as the frequency and duration of workouts, while others cannot be changed, such as body type and age. Some unchangeable factors include:

Body structure How we are built, including limb and muscle length, influence our strength levels.

For example, pound for pound, individuals with shorter limbs find many strengthtraining exercises easier to perform than someone with longer arms and legs due to leverage factors. In other words, the closer the resistance is to the body, the easier it becomes to lift. The further away, the more difficult.

Limb and muscle length varies greatly from person to person and is genetically predetermined. Muscle length influences strength development.

Muscle and strength potential is greater for individuals with longer muscles as compared to those with relatively short muscles.

Tendon insertion Tendons are strong bands of tissue that transmit the force generated by muscular contraction to the bones, resulting in movement at a given joint.

The point where the tendon attaches varies from person to person, and affects strength ability.

An example is the biceps muscle, whose function it is to allow for the elbow to bend

and the forearm to rotate. The biceps has tendons that attach to the front of the shoulder as well as to the forearm. The further from the elbow joint the forearm tendon attaches, the greater the biomechanical advantage, and the greater the amount of weight lifted.

Age Another factor we have no control over is age. Into our teens, we experience increased muscle and bone growth naturally. As adults, we must apply stress to the muscles and bones in order for growth to occur or to prevent loss from happening.

Regular resistance training is the best way to help preserve muscle and bone tissue and reduce risk of injury as we get older. Studies have shown that even into our 90s and beyond, muscle size and strength can be improved with exercise.

Muscle fiber type We are born with different types of muscle fibers, each responding in a different way to exercise.

Type I fibers are recruited when conditions are such that a small amount of force is needed, but for long periods of time. Resistant to fatigue, they are well suited for cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise or with anaerobic (weightlifting)

Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Family walks, bike rides and backyard sports games are great, but there are many ways to make fitness appealing to kids. “You are only limited by your own imagination,” says Rogenia David, owner of My Gym Children’s Fitness Center of Hampton Roads in Newport News, Va. “Once kids get going, it’s hard to stop them.”

A few ideas: Turn chores into games. How fast can your child sweep all the

“evil monsters” — the dirt and crumbs — off the kitchen floor?

How many stray socks can he find by sprinting all over the house and squatting down to look under each bed?

Sign up for a race. Jogging around the neighborhood tends to be more fun if you’re getting in shape for a fundraising event such as a charity 5K or one-mile fun run.

Use commercial breaks. Whenever a favorite show is on, have each child plan and lead an exer-

cise during one of the breaks. You also can just turn on some upbeat music and dance.

Make walks more entertaining.

Turn your regular route into an obstacle course by jumping over fences, running up and down stairs or balancing on rocks.

Create cool indoor games. For example, take a pair of dice from a board game, pick an exercise — jumping jacks, sit-ups or push-ups are good ones — and roll the dice to see how many of the moves to do.

activity when the workout calls for a weaker muscular contraction. Each muscle fiber type contracts at different speeds. Ty p e I muscle fibers are called “slow twitch” because they contract slowly, while type II-A muscle fibers do not produce strong contractions and have minimal capacity for muscle growth.

Type II-B fibers by contrast, produce high levels of force but for short periods of time, and so are best suited for anaerobic activity such as strength training. These fibers are called “fast twitch” because they are quick to contract under heavy weight loads. Although Type II-B fibers contain large amounts of glycogen (energy) for heavier weight lifting workouts, they also fatigue quickly.

For people with muscle-growth goals, these fibers need to be activated to the fullest, and must be provided with proper rest between workouts to fully recover and repair.

Controllable ways to achieve success include: proper form, speed of movement and appropriate weightloads, as well as the duration, frequency and intensity of exercise.

Kids’ musical instruments booming with bacteria

Injuries Continued from F1 His accident has brought him physical, mental and emotional challenges he never imagined.

He’s had to learn to live with incredible pain and to rethink his career.

But at the same time, Litehiser has learned to find silver linings in his situation. He’s spent the past three years putting his life back together, sharing his story and learning to live with this new reality.

“I really hope that having gone through what I’ve gone through and overcoming what I’m overcoming will help people in similar life situations,” he said. “The strength of the human spirit can overcome all kinds of daunting adversity.”

Dealing with pain Even today, Litehiser deals with significant pain.

He sees Dr. Jon Swift, a physician at The Center: Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research in Bend for pain control every other week. He’s on two pain medications and attends physical therapy regularly.

“I’m a train wreck,” he said as he entered Peak Performance Physical Therapy on a recent day.

Tom Watson, a physical therapist, has been working with Litehiser on pain control for the past five months. He’s been able to reduce his pain and is concentrating on improving his strength.

Litehiser was once a sheriff’s deputy and spent plenty of time in physical activity. He said he jogged, hunted, wrestled and spent time outdoors.

He misses the activity. “I still want to do so many things,” he said. “I can’t.”

On the back of his right leg, nearly all of the muscle was burned off. The same thing happened on his left leg, near his ankle. That joint does not work anymore, making Litehiser, in his words, “a walking trip hazard.”

Many of his sweat glands were destroyed by burns. He overheats easily, limiting the amount

JR Litehiser uses surgical tubing as resistance during a physical therapy session. After Litehiser lost his right hand and part of his arm in an electrical fire, he had to relearn many of the skills he once took for granted. of exercise he can do.

He struggles daily with trying to accomplish simple tasks.

“All the things that you wouldn’t think of that should be easy” are not, he said. “Toiletry stuff, cleaning, hygiene. Getting dressed is a pain.”

He was right-handed before the accident. Though he has a prosthesis and can make a rudimentary grip, he cannot control the hand well enough to write.

He can now sign his name with his left hand, the only one left, but he can’t write much else.

“The challenges are physical,” he said. “That has been a huge piece” of recovering.

Changing attitude The other huge piece has been mental and emotional.

Litehiser went through serious depression after the accident, according to an online journal of his recovery.

He had memory problems and struggled to live with his postaccident body. It took a toll; his wife filed for divorce not quite 11 months after the accident, setting up a custody battle for their son.

Litehiser said his attitude began changing when he started going to support groups run

by Central Oregon Resources for Independent Living, a local nonprofit that helps people with

disabilities.

“I got to sit around the table with people really far worse off than me and that made my bitching and moaning look really insignificant,” he said. He met people who had survived strokes or were paralyzed from the neck down, he said. “And they were all kinds of happy to be here. That made it a lot harder to feel sorry for myself.”

Litehiser spent a lot of time at support groups through the nonprofit. Today, he volunteers as a peer counselor for the organization, helping people with disabilities learn how to live independently.

And he’s gotten back in touch with his high school sweetheart, he said. The two now live together and have a 9-month-old daughter.

Litehiser also spends time talking to groups about his experience and, for contractors working with flammable materials, how to prevent such an accident.

He said he enjoys helping others. “Whatever you’re able to do, you should do,” he said. “I’ve been the beneficiary. It’s why I’m doing as well as I am now.

If I hadn’t had that, I’d still be a mess.”

Despite vaccine, it keeps coming back Los Angeles Times

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, has remained one of pediatrics’ — and parents’ — most troublesome issues. The highly contagious bacterial disease, which leaves victims (traditionally children) with a hacking cough, can be fended off with a vaccine that has been in use for decades.

But in spite of the vaccine’s good work, said the authors of a study published online recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, whooping cough cases have been on the rise over the last two decades.

What’s going on? Are people simply more aware and reporting more pertussis than they used to, or has the disease mutated into a different strain so that the vac-

cine no longer prevents it?

After designing a model based on the data, the researchers discovered that a third explanation was most likely: that as a herd, people have lost immunity, allowing the disease to reemerge. Unlike many vaccines, the pertussis vaccine doesn’t confer lifelong immunity. When whooping cough was more common, people as a group tended to be exposed and re-exposed to the disease more frequently as it jumped from person to person — meaning that as a group, resistance was constantly kept

pretty high.

Once the vaccine was implemented, however, whooping cough became, on a regular basis, less common. Good, right?

The problem is that the less prevalent it is, the less likely people are to get booster shots. And the more time passes, the more the body “forgets” what to look out for, even after being vaccinated or after having suffered it before.

So when a bad epidemic comes through years later, it can do some serious damage.

Moral of the story? The Tdap booster shot is your friend.

The musical instruments kids play in school bands and orchestras are traveling denizens of bacteria and fungi, say the authors of a new study. Music education is great for kids, they note, but please, please wash the instruments!

Researchers at Oklahoma State University bravely examined 13 instruments that belonged to a high school band. Six of the instruments had been played the previous week and seven hadn’t been played in a month. Swabs were taken of 117 different sites on the instruments, including the mouthpieces, internal chambers and even the carrying cases.

The results scored high on the yuck factor. The researchers found 442 different bacteria, 58 types of mold and 19 types of yeast. Many of the bacteria were species of Staphylococcus, which can cause staph infection. Most of the bacteria can cause illness, the authors noted. Mold spores can contribute to the development of asthma. Even the instruments that had not been played recently harbored germs galore.

“Furthermore, this study also found that many of these microbes are highly resistant to some or most of the antibiotics normally used in general practice, including methicillin,” the authors wrote.

The study showed that reeds and mouthpiece ends were more contaminated than bell ends, but even the midpoints of the instruments and bell ends contained plenty of toxins. Woodwinds tended to be germier than brass instruments. Even the woodwind cases were more contaminated than the brass cases.

Clarinets were the filthiest instruments. The germs in the instruments can be easily transferred to the students’ hands, which in turn could contaminate other instruments, other students or the band room, the researchers said.

They noted that many school band instruments are loaned to students and have been played by countless other people “whose health histories are unknown.”

While band members are not Typhoid Marys, their instruments are truly a problem, the researchers said. All instruments should be sterilized on a routine basis. Ethylen oxide is the only agent known to sterilize instruments effectively,” they wrote.

The study was published in the journal General Dentistry.

The good and bad about pacifiers

By Lynda Shrager Albany Times Union

Poor Suri Cruise. The kid gets caught sucking on her pacifier and all hell breaks loose. The media, the mommy bloggers, the medical experts all had to weigh in on the fact that this almost 5-year-old still needed to take a walk in the park with Tom and her pacifier.

I personally would have given anything if my kids had used pacifiers. I would try desperately to coax them into it and they would spit the thing out as soon as it passed their lips.

This is not to say they didn’t have their version of a “binky.”

Jeannie, the well–worn doll would be in London right now if daughter No. 2 wasn’t worried she would have been confiscated at customs and “Mimi” the blanket is with daughter No. 1 at Johns Hopkins even as we speak.

The Mayo Clinic, in conjunction with the American Academy of Pediatrics, notes there are pros and cons to pacifier use, and it’s up to parents to decide what is best for their baby.

One proven medical advantage is that pacifiers have been shown to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

The latest guidelines from the AAP are based on research suggesting that sucking on pacifiers “might help keep vulnerable infants from slumbering too deeply to rouse themselves.” The policy to reduce the risk of SIDS recommends that pacifiers be used at nap time and bedtime for the first year, but not beyond, and not during the first month for breast-fed babies. The risk of SIDS is low during the first month of life, and this ensures that breast-feeding is firmly established.

Other pros for the paci-

Thinkstock

fier include the ability to soothe a fussy baby and offering distraction when a baby is hungry and you’re not able to feed her right away. Also, it can provide comfort during shots or other uncomfortable procedures. Many babies have trouble calming themselves enough to fall asleep, and a pacifier could be just the thing.

And when you feel it’s time to stop using them, they can be merely taken away, as opposed to the thumb.

Dr. Julie Ann Barna, spokeswoman for The Academy of General Dentistry, concurs with the positive aspects of using pacifiers up until age 1, but after that prolonged use into the toddler years could impede the natural development of teeth.

“For a child with several baby teeth, pacifiers can cause upper teeth to protrude and lower teeth to jut in,” she says. Another potential drawback is that, since sucking on the breast is different from sucking on a pacifier, babies may have trouble learning how to breast-feed if given a pacifier too soon.

Pacifier use can also increase the risk of middle ear infections.

The AAP notes, however, that “these infections are less common in the first year of life, when the SIDS risk is highest.”

N Gluten-free Continued from F1

Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity Celiac disease kicks in when gluten from wheat or other products causes the immune system to attack and flatten the villi in the intestines, which are needed for the body to absorb nutrients from food. When the villi are destroyed, it can lead to malnutrition, osteoporosis and other more serious health problems that result from not absorbing the nutrients in food. Symptoms appear in many different ways depending on the person and can include many kinds of gastrointestinal discomfort, malaise, joint pain, headaches, weight loss and depression.

On the other end of the glutenintolerance scale is a less-severe gluten sensitivity that will create any number of miserable conditions, including bloating, gas or diarrhea, but will not destroy the villi or put the person at risk of malnourishment.

Celiac disease is more common than previously thought, according to health professionals including Gayle Vanderford, an advanced nurse practitioner in the gastroenterology department at Bend Memorial Clinic.

“In the last 10 to 15 years we’ve learned about it, so we’ve gotten better about diagnosing it,” Vanderford said.

For example, those in the medical profession used to think celiac mainly affected people of Eastern European descent. But it can affect a lot more people than that, she said. Also, it used to be that some people would be considered iron-deficient or anemic, whereas now more immunologists or gastroenterologists are more likely to examine whether celiac is the reason they’re not absorbing nutrients.

Celiac manifests in people with a genetic predisposition to the autoimmune disease. The National Institutes of Health reports that if one person in a family has celiac disease, one of every 22 people in that family also has it. About 1 in 133 people has it in the United States.

Celiac disease is diagnosed through a blood test that picks up the antibodies, Vanderford said.

People who have gluten sensitivities, not true celiac disease, don’t have the antibodies. A second test to confirm celiac disease includes taking a sample of the small bowel or intestines for biopsy. That test can show whether the villi are destroyed. The person has to be eating gluten at the time of the tests.

The only way to treat the disease or avoid the pain of gluten intolerance is to avoid gluten, which is easier said than done.

Gluten Gluten is in “everything” according to people who can’t tolerate it. Not only is it in common grains such as wheat, which is the base of so many foods, it can be found in a thickener called “modified food starch,” which is found in some sour creams, salad dressings and ketchups. Manufacturers are legally required to include a “contains wheat” warning on the label of a product that contains something such as “modified food starch.”

Occasionally, cosmetics such as lipstick or some medications have gluten products in them, but to find out for sure a person might have to call the manufacturer. (For information about medications: www.gluten freedrugs.com.)

In restaurants, even gluten-free entrees can be cross-contaminated if the cooks are not careful.

For example, if the gluten-free bread is used in the same toaster as regular wheat bread, the wheat can contaminate the gluten-free product. Someone with a lesser degree of sensitivity might be able to tolerate that much gluten.

Someone with true celiac could go into seizures.

There are many people who do not have the disease but who clearly feel better when they don’t eat gluten.

“They’re in the gray area of intolerance,” Vanderford said.

Because more people are interested in avoiding gluten, even the non-celiac population, it’s driven up demand for gluten-free products.

“A lot of people now are choosing gluten-free as a lifestyle, which makes it easier for those of

Cathy Jasper makes a batch of granola at her home in Bend as her son Ryan makes cup of tea. They both have celiac disease and can’t tolerate eating gluten products. Jasper spends a lot of time preparing healthy and gluten-free meals. us that don’t have a choice,” said Chris Frey, a 63-year-old Bend resident who in recent years realized she was gluten intolerant.

But despite the growing popularity of gluten-free food, Susan Walker, who owns the new Gotta B Gluten Free bakery in Bend, said, “This is not a fad. It’s not like the South Beach diet. This is real.”

She explained that the gluten proteins are part of the chemical structure of certain grains, such as wheat and barley, and it can’t be separated out of the wheat.

Gluten serves as a glue that binds all the elements in a recipe together, Walker said. Wheat’s gluten is responsible for the chewy texture that’s desirable in bread, pasta and pizza crusts.

When wheat is left out of a product, its flavor and texture change.

People judge food on its appearance, texture and taste, she said.

Sometimes, without good texture, it’s just not worth eating, Walker said.

When her husband was diagnosed as gluten intolerant about 14 years ago, Walker started experimenting in the kitchen.

White rice flour used to be the only substitute to wheat flour, but it has a dry, sandy texture.

“Everything was so dry,” she said. Now, she uses a garbanzofava bean flour, tapioca flour, almond meal, and even soy flour in a few things. But those flours are expensive, and costs get passed on to the consumer. A cupcake costs $2.50.

Walker and others theorize that the upsurge in gluten intolerance has been at least in part

brought on by agricultural societies developing more gluten-rich wheat. Our bodies — especially those with a predisposition to the disease — can’t tolerate it anymore. She sees a lot of middle-age and older customers who developed an intolerance after eating wheat for 50 or 60 years.

Frances Towle, an owner of True Wellness Life who has a master’s degree in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, said repeated exposure to environmental toxins — from agricultural chemicals to stress — can trigger

Cathy Jasper, 51, discovered that she had celiac disease about 10 years ago. Her family ate a lot of pizza and boxed cereals. She had intense stomach pain and bloating nightly.

“The pain would be excruciating,” she said, clutching her stomach with the memory. After years of seeing different doctors about it, she visited a naturopath who told her to stop eating gluten and sugar.

Her youngest child, Ryan, was 3 at that time. He cried a lot and had awful skin rashes. One pediatrician told her to rub Wesson oil on his face, she said. He threw extraordinary fits. It was chalked up to colic. Sometimes she laid her body on him to calm him down, but otherwise, nothing helped.

When Jasper changed her diet, she instantly felt better. Inevitably, after she went gluten-free, the whole family followed suit. The effect on Ryan was immediate.

“He was a different kid. Things got so much better,” she said.

It was difficult when Ryan was younger to say “you can’t” about so many foods, she said. Ryan felt like the odd kid when he had to take his own cake to someone’s birthday party, he said. Jasper still packs him a cooler of food if he’s going to a friend’s home for a sleepover. But now most of his friends understand, and if they don’t, he’s able to explain.

If Ryan, now 13, eats gluten, his ears turn red and his attitude changes. He gets so depressed his thoughts have turned suicidal.

These reactions kick in predictably after eating gluten, either intentionally or accidentally. It’s usually about a three-day window between the eating of the offending food such as ice cream or Oreos, and the depth of the crash, which for him starts as irritability and spirals into dark and irrational thoughts.

Jasper and Ryan took a chance and shared a small piece of carrot cake at a birthday party recently.

She got a cold sore. His stomach hurt.

He misses eating normal sandwiches because gluten-free bread is pretty hard and crusty. At home, Jasper spends a lot of time preparing healthy food. They eat a lot of millet, quinoa, buckwheat, eggs and vegetables. They avoid most sugar. They don’t eat out much.

“The good thing about celiac is that it’s made us eat so healthy,” Jasper said. “We are getting so strong.”

New study shows low-calorie, low-fat diet helps with weight loss The National Weight Control Registry has identified methods helpful in weight loss.

The registry, which investigated the characteristics of more than 5,000 people who have lost weight and kept it off, said that 98 percent of registry participants modified their food intake to lose weight. Those who succeeded at weight loss consumed a lowcalorie and low-fat diet. Women reported eating an average of 1,306 calories a day, and men reported consuming 1,685 calories a day. Both ate less than

25 percent of the calories in fat.

Also: 78 percent of those who lost weight and kept it off ate breakfast daily, 75 percent weighed themselves at least weekly, 62 percent watched less than 10 hours of TV weekly, and 90 percent of them exercised about an hour a day.

Keeping track of daily food intake was also essential for most registry members.

Need more veggies?

Here are some tips

By Meredith Cohn The Baltimore Sun

Vegetables are important for a good diet — they can reduce risk of stroke, heart disease and some cancers and can contribute to healthy weight.

The people at TOPS (Take Pounds Off Sensibly), a nonprofit weight-loss support group, came up with a top 10 list of ways to get more veggies in your diet. Some you may already do and some may be new ideas:

1.

Make a “pasta” dish with spaghetti squash instead of noodles.

2.

Puree cooked vegetables and add them to stews, gravies, and soups.

3.

Add raw spinach leaves and an extra-ripe banana to a fruit smoothie. It may sound strange, but the sweetness of the banana masks the taste of the spinach.

4.

Baking? Add shredded carrots to muffins or bread.

5.

Instead of cheese and meat, pile your morning omelet with onions, mushrooms, and red and green peppers. Chop vegetables the night before to save time in the morning.

6.

Add chopped spinach to meat when preparing meatballs or hamburgers.

7.

Try mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes.

Experiment with different flavorings such as garlic, a dab of butter, and Parmesan cheese.

8.

Add salsa to a breakfast burrito, pile it on a veggie burger, or use it in place of highfat, creamy vegetable dips.

9.

Puree pasta sauce with vegetables such as winter squash or chopped broccoli.

10.

Add chopped carrots to casseroles or meat loaf.

Scientists launch quest for testing immune system health

By Suzanne Bohan Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — By the time Dr. Eswar Krishnan, 42, enters his retirement years, he’s confident his doctor will be able to administer a simple test to gauge his immune system’s strength.

He can forecast the development of this powerful medical tool, which could join other routine tests in doctors’ offices. The Stanford researcher and two colleagues just launched the largest clinical trial to date to find a common biomarker to assess immune system health. Biomarkers typically are molecules or cells in blood samples that reveal a person’s status for a particular health condition, such as glucose tests that reflect diabetes risk.

“My expectation is when I hit Medicare age, these tests will be available,” Krishnan said.

An immune system test would enhance medical care, said Rebecca Fuldner, a project officer at the National Institute on Aging, which co-funded the $9 million, three-year study. Doctors could tailor vaccination strategies to individual patients, and deliver quick intervention at the first sign of illness for those with weakened immune systems.

Krishnan views an immune test as useful for inspiring healthful habits, such as balanced nutrition and adequate physical activity, both of which boost immune function.

“It will be a stimulus for lifestyle changes, because that is much more powerful than drugs,” he predicted.

Physicians have no way to assess the overall health of a person’s immune system. Yet it declines precipitously with age, leaving older people far more vulnerable to infectious diseases and cancer, and to autoimmune disorders such as arthritis.

For example, levels of critical T cells, the immune cells that serve as the first line of defense against microbial threats, decrease significantly by the sixth decade of life.

With age, other immune cells, such as white blood cells, are more likely to either under-react to a threat, opening the door to disease, or to overreact. In the latter case, the immune cells stay on the attack, rather than retreating to their normal state. This can harm even healthy tissue and cause autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases also co-funded the study.

Medicare home health agencies are concerned a new provision that requires a face-to-face visit with a physician as of last week might present challenges for homebound patients. Local agencies have been working with physicians to get them up to speed on the new regulation.

Home Continued from F1 The home health provision represents a change in the way home health services are ordered for patients. While a physician must write out a prescription for Medicare home health services, it’s the home health agency that typically puts together the plan of care that is then approved by the doctor.

In many cases, the doctor can write the prescription and approve the plan of care after reviewing the patient records.

“Physician orders drive all health care services under Medicare, but face-to-face meetings should not be required to authorize home health care for patients who by definition must be homebound in order to qualify for services,” Halamandaris said.

The provision does not affect the custodial-type home care services that can help older individuals with day-to-day tasks.

Medicare home health services are available only for patients that need skilled nursing care.

Federal officials have been concerned about the rapid growth of home health spending under Medicare and want to ensure that patients getting services truly meet the requirements. Home health groups have countered that the increase in home health costs mean fewer patients are being cared for in higher-cost settings such as hospitals or skilled nursing facilities.

In March, a group of 13 provider and advocacy groups, including AARP, sent a letter to CMS stating that doctors were still not up to speed on the new requirements. A survey of home health agencies last month found that 88 percent had reached out to doctors to tell them of the new requirement, but 78 percent reported that physicians would not be ready to begin providing the needed

“Physician orders drive all health care services under Medicare, but face-toface meetings should not be required to authorize home health care for patients who by definition must be homebound in order to qualify for services.”

— Val Halamandaris, president of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice documentation from the faceto-face meetings by April 1.

“Despite the extraordinary efforts to achieve a level of understanding and an intention to comply, all of the undersigned parties are very concerned that patients will lose access to vitally needed care,” the groups said.

Despite having 30 days to get a face-to-face encounter, a third of the agencies surveyed said they would not begin providing home health services unless patients had already met the requirement. The remainder said they would admit patients but could be forced to discharge them if they don’t see a physician within the allotted time.

Last week, CMS declined to extend the deadline, citing the importance of physician monitoring of home health patients and the need to ensure that patients meet the eligibility requirements.

Central Oregon home health agencies have been working to get local physicians up to speed and to streamline the process for face-to-face encounters and the documentation needed to authorize home visits, said Dr. Laura Mavity, medical director

for St. Charles Home Health as well as the director of palliative care for the St. Charles Health System.

“Most patients who are enrolling in home health, it is because of a clinical change.

Even though they are homebound, lots of times they’re in the hospital or they’re checking in at clinic,” she said. “So they are seen by hospital physicians and even if it’s the primary care provider that will continue to follow the patient on home health, having been seen by another physician certainly counts as that face-toface encounter.”

Mavity does not expect that many patients will run into trouble with the face-to-face encounter requirement, but acknowledged last week that agencies wouldn’t know for sure until the rule took effect.

Brenda Woodyard, director of the Bend office of home health chain Amedisys, said the new provision may help to ensure that patients have better care management.

“There are many patients who will never go to see the doctor for years. And then for obvious reasons, they’ll go into the hospital and then into a skilled nursing facility, and they’re discharged from the skilled nursing facility and then home health follows them.”

All of that may happen without the primary care physician ever seeing the patient.

Woodyard said that while it may be difficult for some patients to get to their doctors’ offices, there are some local physicians who will make house calls. She also does not anticipate a major disruption to home health services locally because of the groundwork done by the health care community.

“But to be honest, it’s a new requirement,” she said.

One night three years ago, Joe Hobson finished reading a book, went to sleep and woke up blind. The problem, caused by a rare hereditary disease, forced him to give up his 20-year communications job, along with its generous health insurance.

Now 63, the Arlington, Va., man is covered by Medicare, the federal program for elderly and disabled Americans.

Like many people with Medicare, Hobson would like to buy supplemental, or Medigap, insurance to help cover his out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments and deductibles. But Medigap prices can be prohibitive for disabled beneficiaries younger than 65. The cheapest plan for such people in Northern Virginia costs $338 a month, according to Brad Rothermel, a Virginia insurance agent who has helped Hobson look for a policy. That’s three times the premium of a plan with much better benefits that is available to a 65-year-old. And the private insurers that offer Medigap policies are free to reject Hobson or charge him extra because of his pre-existing health conditions.

Federal Medigap rules generally prohibit insurers from rejecting applicants or charging them higher premiums because of pre-existing conditions, as long as they apply within six months of turning 65 and getting Medicare coverage for doctor visits and other outpatient services, says Peter Ashkenaz, a spokesman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. However, when Congress created this protection in 1992, he says, it exempted disabled Medicare beneficiaries under 65, a group that now totals 8 million people.

“There’s something not right here,” says Hobson, whose liv-

Over-the-counter inhaler to be pulled from market

By Jennifer Huget Special to The Washington Post

If you’ve been using Primatene Mist to open your airways, your days of doing so are numbered. The product is being pulled from the market as of Dec. 31 — not because it doesn’t work but because it’s bad for the environment.

Primatene Mist inhalers rely on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to propel medicine out of the inhaler. CFCs deplete the ozone; the United States has agreed to phase out their use.

In announcing the move, the Food and Drug Administration said the advance notice should give people time to seek alternative treatments for asthma.

Because Primatene Mist is the only over-the-counter asth-

ma inhaler sold in the United States, people who have come to rely on the product will have to use prescription medications instead. And — you could see this coming, couldn’t you?

— those Rx products may cost more than Primatene, which goes for $16 to $20 per halfounce container plus a mouthpiece. (That’s good for 270 “puffs,” according to the Primatene website.)

The FDA’s statement offers guidance for people who find it hard to pay for their new asthma medications.

The agency points out that some people using Primatene Mist may not in fact have asthma. Consulting a doctor for a prescription will require folks to get a definitive diagnosis.

ing expenses consume all of the income he receives under the Social Security program for disabled people.

People such as Hobson have good reason to be concerned, says Bonnie Burns, a policy specialist with California Health Advocates, a nonprofit organization. She is also a member of a federally established working group that updates Medigap rules when Congress makes changes.

Because there is no annual cap on Medicare out-of-pocket costs, Burns says, there’s no limit to how much beneficiaries might be required to pay if they get very sick or have a very expensive medical condition. “It makes sense to buy Medigap insurance to mitigate that possibility,” she says.

Last year’s federal health care overhaul does not address this issue. A provision to provide disabled Medicare beneficiaries better coverage was dropped from the legislation during congressional negotiations because it would have increased Medicare costs, according to a House Democratic congressional aide.

In the absence of federal rules, 29 states require insurers to sell at least one kind of Medigap plan to anyone who applies. Of the states that guarantee Medigap plans, most allow companies to charge higher rates to disabled applicants younger than 65. But if such people apply for a Medigap policy when they turn 65, insurers cannot charge higher premiums based on pre-existing health conditions.

Hobson decided to take a gamble and hope for the best, until his 65th birthday in July 2012. “When I turn 65,” he says, “I will be able to get a Medicare supplemental plan with a simple phone call.”
