Warmlng —Worrying news

A federal dispatcher at 6:30 a.m. Sept. 9 disregarded the first report of a wisp of smoke near Sisters, what became the Pole Creek Fire, and delayed by three hours firefighters' response to the largest wildfire

"The call was taken and thentherewas a shiftchange and some other fire incidents that appeared to have more urgency kindoftook over the dispatch center, and so this Pole Creek smoke that was called in wasn't responded on in as timely of a way as it could

"Nothing is off the table. (The governor)

By Lauren Dake The Bugetin

SALEM — As discussions surrounding gun control fire up the nation, Oregon's lawmakers are preparing to wade into the debate this legislative session. Gov. John Kitzhaber directed his staff to delve into firearm regulation, school safety measures and mental health issues, hoping for what his spokesman said could be the "basis for a comprehensive approach to the problem."

sees no reason for civilians to have assault weapons, but he has not yet reviewed any specific legislative proposals," Tim Raphael, the governor's spokesman, wrote in an email. Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, first campaigned on creating stronger gun laws in the state in 1996. She was not a favorite to win the race, but took her landslide victory as a sign that people were interested in stronger gun control laws. See Debate/A7

Oregon's current gun laws Oregon laws ongun ownership and gun sales are more restrictive than most rural states, but less stringent than those in California and other large states in the Midwest and Northeast.

However, noone measureprovides a complete picture of astate's policies. State lawsdetailed below are apartial look at gun policy in Oregon; the state has many more laws detailing everything from

Training to become a doctor takes so long that just the time invested has become, to many, emblematic of the gravity and prestige of the profession. But now one of the nation's premier medical schools, New York University, and a few others around the United States are challenging that equation by offering a small percentage of students the chance to finish early, in three years instead of the traditional four. Administrators at NYU say they can make the change without compromising quality, by eliminating redundancies in their curriculum, getting students into clinical training more quickly and adding extra class time in the summer. Not only, they say, will those doctors be able to hang out their shingles to practice earlier, but they will save a quarter of the cost of medical school — $49,560 a year in tuition and fees at NYU, and even more when room, board, books, supplies and other expenses are added in. "We're confident that our three-year students are going to get the same depth and core knowledge, that we're not going to turn it into a trade school," said Dr. Steven Abramson, vice dean for education, faculty and academic affairs at NYU School of Medicine.

earc or isca ea urns o e enae New York TimesNews Service WASHINGTON — Withlittle more than a week for lawmakers toavert huge tax increases and spending cuts, attention is turning from the gridlocked House to the Senate, where some Republicans on Sunday endorsed President B arack Obama's call for a partial deal to insulate most Americans from thetax increases but defer a resolution on spending. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and S en. J ohnny Isakson, R-Ga., implored Senateleaders to reach an accommodation with Obama when Congress returns on Thursday, even if that means that taxes would go up for those with high incomes but that spending cuts would be put off. Hutchison, appearing on the CBS program "Face the ¹

tion," said the tax cuts signed into law by President George W. Bush should be extended "at a reasonable salary level." The failed attempt on Thursday by the House speaker, John Boehner, to a ttract enough Republican support for legislation that would have prevented tax increaseson income below $1 million left little chance for a "grand bargain" on deficit reduction. It also shifted the action to the Senate as the last hope to stop more than a half trillion dollars in tax increases and acrossthe-board spending cuts from kicking in on Jan. 1. The president urged senators to take up legislation extending the Bushera tax cuts on income under $250,000 and preventing the expiration of u nemployment benefits, while delaying the de-

fense and domestic spending cuts to allow negotiations on a deficit deal continue. "The fact that the House Republicans spent a week wasting time we didn't have has greatly exacerbatedthe problem," said Dan Pfeiffer, Obama's communications director. The hope is that the less polarized Senate will be different from the House. It is run by Democratsand includes several Republicans who are openly backing a deal. "The president's statement is right," Isakson said Sunday on the ABC program "This Week." "No one wants taxes to go up on the middle class. I don't want them to go up on anybody, but I'm not in the majority in the United States Senate, and he's the president of the United States."

Association said Sunday that they would fight any gun restrictions introduced in Congress and were not interested in working with

President Barack Obama to help develop a broad response to the Connecticut school massacre. The NRA's escalating opposition to new gun laws signaled a tough fight in Congress for any effort

by the Obamaadministration to impose restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity clips, among other measures. David Keene, the president of the NRA, said on the CBS News program

"Face the Nation" that reinstituting a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons "doesn't solve the problem."

If the fish — designed to grow faster than naturally born salmon — is approved, it would be the first such animal intended for food use to get such an OK in the U.S. By Rosie Mestel LOS ANGELES — A f t er more than a decade in regulatory limbo, genetically engineered Atlantic salmon that grow faster than their naturally born counterparts moved closer to American plates, with the publication Friday of a government report that found the fish wouldn't hurt the environment and would be safe to eat. The draft report,released by the Food and Drug Administration after months of unexplained delay, was greeted w ith cheers by members ofthe biotech community and anger by opponents of genetically modified foods, who commonly refer to the AquAdvantage salmon as a "Frankenfish." Two years ago, the FDA tentatively ruled that the salmon could safely b e c o nsumed by humans and that the fish would not harm wild species. The current report advances the process. A 60-day period of public comment on the158-page environmental assessment and its conclusions now follows before the FDA w il l d ecide whether to give the salmon its blessing or take some other action. There is no timeline on when that next step may happen, said FDA spokeswoman

down their projects or moved them overseas. But the FDA's actions — and the timing of its announcement, on the eve of a l ong holiday weekend — drew outrage from consumer advocacy groups who are not convinced that the fish is environmentally benign nor that it's safe to eat. More than 400,000 public comments urging regulators not to approve the fish have been submitted to the FDA since the agency opened discussion of the issue in 2010, according to George Kimbrell, senior attorney for the WashShelly Burgess. ington-based Center for Food "I have a smile on my face Safety. — it certainly looks good for K imbrell noted t hat t h e the fish moving forward," said FDA's documents are dated David Edwards, director of May 4, 2012, and said that animal biotechnology for the r eleasing them on D ec. 21 was "cynical" and "political."

threatened wild fish stocks. AquaBounty Technologies Inc., the M a y nard, M ass.based company that developed the fish, says that contention is unsupported by science.

Production The FDA's environmental review and safetyconclusions focus narrowly o n s p ecific plans that AquaBounty put in placefor raising and processing the modified salmon. Unlike conventionally f a rmed salmon, the A q uAdvantage fish would not be raised in ocean pens and would not be brought live into the United States. Instead, the fish would be farmed on P r i nce E dward Island in Canada. Eggs that they produced would be transported to Panama, where they would hatch and be raised in inland freshwater tanks. The farmed fish — sterile and female — would be processed overseas andthe flesh transported to the United States for market. AquaBounty Pres i dent and Chief Executive Ronald Stotish said that the Panama facility would permit production of tons of fish and that more tanks could be added. Ultimately, he said, additional facilities could be built at other sites, including places within the United States that are near urban centers. The company would have to receive FDA approval for each expansion of its facilities, however. "The attributes of our product and a land-based system are exactlywhat environmental groups are asking for," Stotish said. "We hope that when

they read the environmental assessment, they will understandthe science and the benefits of our product and stop opposing us just because we're different." Gregory Jaffe,director of the biotechnology project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in W ashington, said he saw no evidence to suggest that the salmon would be unhealthful to eat nor that AquaBounty's Panama facility would pose an environmental risk. But he added that the small volume of fish the company could produce there amounts to "a lot of effort for not a lot of fish" — and thus the plan amounts to no more than a proof of concept. Movement from the FDA may come in the nick of time for AquaBounty, which is also developing fast-growing trout and tilapia but is close to running out of money. "If they go to production and people actually buy this fish in spite of what's being said, then I think other investors will see other opportunities for transgenic animals," said James Murray, an animal geneticist at the University of California, Davis who has developed genetically engineered goats to fight diarrheal diseases in children. "Even if it's not successful, just the fact that an animal product can be approved will mean to investors that the potential for a good idea can be carried through to market."

From this, the scientists learned that force meted out by the hand is about the same when a bag is punched by a fist versus slapped, but nearlytwice as great when you consider that the fist delivers its force to a smaller surface area. The study also found that the knuckle joint of the index fingerisrendered stifferand more stable — transferring force more effectively and protecting the hand — when a tight fist is made.

LOS ANGELES — Why are our hands the shape the way they are? Compared with those of other apes, the thumb is longer and the palms andfingers are short. Scientist have a variety of ideas as to why they evolved to be that way: • The c omp a r atively longer thumb allows us so much more dexterity, permitting us to make tools. • The proportions of the hand may be the indirect consequence of natural selection for a foot with a long toe, handy for keeping bal-

RESEARCH

Study: WestAntarctica warming fasterthanthought New York Times News Service New research suggests that West Antarctica has warmed much more than scientists have thought over the last half-century, an ominous finding given that the huge ice sheet there may be vulnerable to long-term collapse, with potentially drastic effects on sea level. A paper released Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience found that the temperature at a research station in the middle of West Antarctica has warmed by 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1958. That is roughly twice as much as scientists previously thought and three times the overall rate of global warming, making central West Antarctica one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth. "The surprises keep coming," said Andrew Monaghan,

a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., who took part in the study. "When you see this type of warming, I think it's alarming." West Antarctica remains an exceedingly cold place, with average annual temperatures in the center of the ice sheet that are nearly 50 degrees below freezing. But the temperature there does sometimes rise above freezing in the summer, and the new research raises the possibility that it might begin to happen more often, potentially weakening the ice sheet through surface melting. Scientists say a breakup of the ice sheet, over a period that would presumably last at least several hundred years, could raise global sea levels by 10 feet, possibly more.

of curriculum, the committee has approved NYU's proposal, which exceeds by five weeks its requirement that schools provide at least 130 weeks of medical education.

Continued from A1 At this point, the effort involves a small number of students at three medical schools: about 16 incoming students at NYU, or about 10 percent of next year's entering class; nine at Texas Tech Health Science Center School of Medicine; and even fewer, for now, at Mercer University School of Medicine's campus in Savannah, Ga. A similar trial at Louisiana State University has been delayed because of budget constraints. But Dr. Steven Berk, the dean at Texas Tech, said that 10 or 15 other schools across the country had expressed interest in what his university was doing, and the deans of all three schools say that if the approach works, they will extend the option to larger numbers of students. "You're going to see this kind of three-yearpathway become very prominent across the country," Abramson predicted. The deans say that getting students out the door more quickly will accomplish several

The medical school is going ahead with its three-year program despite the damage from Hurricane Sandy, which forced NYU Langone Medical Center to evacuatemore than 300 patients at the height of the storm and temporarily shut down three of its four main teaching hospitals. Abramson of NYU said that postgraduate training, which typically includes three years in a hospital residency, and often fellowships after that, made it unnecessary to try to cram everything into the medical school years. Students in the three-year program will have to take eight weeks of class before entering medical school, and stay in the top half of their class academically. Those who do not meet the standards will revert to t h e f our-year

Games Continued from A1 Of course, people and businesses have long added game elements to parts of regularlife.Parents reward their children fo r h o usehold work w i t h g o ld-star stickers. Business travelers pump their fists when they hit elite traveler status on an airline. But digital t echnologies like smartphones and cheap sensors have taken the phenomenon to a new level, especially among adults. Now, game concepts like points, badges and leader boards are so mainstream that they have become powerful motivators in many settings, even some incongruous ones. At a time when games are becoming ever more realistic, reality i s b ecoming more gamelike. "We have a tendency to be dismissive about games, but what we're learning is that games in general are wonderfully powerful tools that can be applied in all sorts of serious contexts," said Kevin Werbach, an associate professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, who teaches a course on how businesses can use games and recently wrote a book on the subject. The adoption of games has found particular resonance in th e w o r kplace, where games are no longer just a way to goof off.

Foreclosure slowdown an issue in newyear PORTLAND — The Oregon

Legislature and SupremeCourt

ura onesma e a oos • Oregon PUC is cracking downon inadequate long-distanceservice

have at least one definite topic

on their agendas in thenew year: finding a solution to the state's foreclosure standstill.

Oregon's foreclosure mediation program wassupposed to give homeowners one last

chance at keeping their homes. Instead, it brought out-ofcourt foreclosures to a halt.

The logjam wascompounded by an appellate court ruling that lenders' recording practices didn't meet state law. Five

months later, foreclosures are still taking the slower, costlier court route.

By November, preliminary reports show, the number of court foreclosure filings had

Bulletin staff report The Oregon Public Utility Commission announced new rules Wednesday aimed at holding long-distance providers accountable for lackluster telephone service in rural areas of the state. That represented an unusual step in itself, according to a PUC spokesman. But if history is a guide, it may amount to little in terms of relief for thousands of rural Oregonians whose long-distance service is on the bitter end of a long line. "Admittedly, we have rarely used this finding authority, but

we've had (it) for a long time," said PUC spokesman Bob Valdez on Friday. "We've imposed financial penalties in the past, but not a fine." The problem, addressed in February at the federal level by a declarative ruling from the Federal Communications Commission, lies in a practice known as least-cost routing. Basically, large long-distance telecommunications companies like MCI, AT8 T or Sprint, forced to pay fees to pay the cost of maintaining rural phone service, reduce their own costs by routing long-dis-

tance calls through secondary carriers. Those secondary carriers sometimes use emerging technology like voice-over-Internet protocol, or VOIP — sometimes with disappointing results. Dropped calls, calls of poor quality or incorrect caller ID are typical complaints. The PUC reported more than 1,600 complaints from Oregon consumers of poor quality long-distance service since June 2011. The phone company at the receivingend suffers as a result, but the carrier where the

call originates is responsible for seeing the call to its destination. In Central Oregon, two rural phone companies operate at the receiving end of long-distance. The Oregon Telephone Corp., of Mount Vernon, counts 1,758 access lines: Pine Telephone System Inc., with an office in Culver, counts about 1,000 subscribers in Baker and northernDeschutes counties.

Oregon Telephone Corp. general manager Dee Dee Kluser said the FCC ruling made little difference in improving phone service. She hadn't heard of the Oregon ruling, but hoped it would do some good. SeePhones/A7

The National Weather Service is forecasting that snow flurries will begin anew in Bend and the surrounding region at daybreak on Christmas, lasting into the night. The bottom line: Traveling today for the holiday is better than taking your chances Tuesday with the Christmas morning weather. "If they can get their travel done before the snow starts around daybreak on Christmas Day, they'll be so much ahead of the game," said Alan Polan, a meteorologist and forecaster with the National Weather Service office in

Pendleton. As part of a system along the east slopes of the Oregon Cascades, a winter storm is expected to dump 6-10 inches in the region on Christmas Day and night. Another 6-8 inches may fall in Bend, Polan said, with higher elevations like Sunriver and La Pine getting even more. Vehicle crashes in the icy weather Sunday were plentiful. Oregon State Police troopers dealt with more than 30 vehicle crashes and slide-offs along U.S. Highway 97 between Chemult and Warm Springs. Accidents also occurred on U.S. Highway 20 west of Bend into the

Santiam Pass area, OSP reported. In one case, a snow slide onto Highway 20 at Hogg Rock near the pass partially trapped vehicles, blocking westbound lanes for two hours. No one was injured. Police and l ocal emergency responders went to four rollovers south of Madras along Highway 97 due to icy conditions, police said. In Deschutes County, accidents kept deputies busy, though none had resulted in injuries as of late Sunday afternoon. "We've pretty much been crash to crash all day long," said Sgt. Troy Gotchy of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office. Separately, state Highway 230, the Diamond Lake Highway, was closed Sunday afternoon from milepost 0 to milepost23 because of downed trees along the road, police said. SeeWeather/A7

Shelter

appeals to holiday donors By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The manager of Bend's largest homeless shelter is asking local residents to remember the shelter when they think about making a charitable donation for the holidays. Opened in 2007, The Shepherd's House on Division Avenue provides more than 10,000 nights of shelterand 25,000 meals each year to homeless men, women and children. Director Curt Floski said the shelter has been strugghng to stay afloat financially this year, particularly over the last three months. The timing of the massive storm that hit the Eastern United States in late October probably didn't help, Floski said. Charities and nonprofits often see their fundraising dry up during the closing months of the year, he said, and high-profile disasters sometimes draw donors' attention away from local needs. "It might get directed to somewhere else," he said. "We don't begrudge that — we support that — but when there's major needs in the country, sometimes smaller nonprofits struggle a bit." Even as Central Oregon's economy has shown slow but steady improvement, Floski said, it has remained difficult for those at the bottom. The 2012 Central Oregon One Day Homeless Count found 2,132 homeless people in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, down from 2,402 in 2010, the largest number ever recorded. "Our numbers continue to stay high," Floski said. "We continue to see strong numbers coming looking for all kinds of things — a meal, a shower; in some cases they're looking for tents or a sleeping bag. In our long-term program here, we've got a waiting list and are completely full." The shelter's long-term program provides housing for up to 30 people at a time from nine months to two years, Floski said. As a condition of the program, participants must attend a variety of classes intended to address the issues that have led to their homelessness and help them achieve self sufficiency. To make a contribution to The Shepherd's House, mail your donation to P.O. Box 5484, Bend, OR, 97701, make an online donation at wwwmyshepherdshouse .org, or call 541-388-2096. — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammersC<bendbulleti n.com

When it comes todecorations, he's got a light touch By Megan Kehoe

SHEPHERD'S HOUSE

For Bendite Adam Bloxham, Christmas decorations aren't just a perk of the holiday season. Christmas decorations ARE the holiday season. But when his landlord wouldn't allow the elaborate Christmas light display he wanted to put up at his home this year, Bloxham had to come up with an alternative. "I was really running out of options," he said. "I thought about the garden center because it was just down the street from where I lived. I just wanted them to give me a shot, but I didn't expect them to say yes to the idea." Drivers passing by t h e C ascade Garden Center, at 20202 Powers Road in south Bend, this holiday season may have noticed something different from

years past: The center has an animated, blinking Christmas light display. Bloxham created the entire light show by himself and has synchronized it to Christmas music he's programed on 93.5 FM. The light show, which is com-

terest in this kind of light show started for him at age 10, when he decorated his house with Christmas lights almost

single-handedly.

"Every year after that I added more and more lights," Bloxham said. "It just evolved from there." Mary Ann Miller, the owner of the Cascade Garden Center, said Bloxham first approached her with the idea of a synchronized light show back in late November. He even offered to pay for the added costto the garden center' s Ryan Brennecke electricity bill that the light show would The Bulletin cause. "He just enjoys doing it so much," posed of thousands of lights, starts Miller said. "It's his passion.

TH E BULLETIN• MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2012

Pole Creek Continued from A1 U.S. Forest Service responses to Freedom of Information Act requests by The Bulletin earlier this year revealed that the dispatch center made no notes from the call that first reported the wildfire. The audio system used to record calls into the dispatchcenter had been broken for a year and a half, so no recording of the call was made, ei ther,according to Deschutes National Forest spokeswoman Jean Nelson-Dean. Allen denied repeated requests by The Bulletin to speak with dispatch center managers. He also declined to identify the dispatcher. Leigh Kuhn watched a wisp of smoke risefrom the forest that Sunday for about 20 minutes before her husband, William Kuhn, awoke around 6:30 a.m. The couple, in their 60s, has a view of the Three Sisters from their home on Sisemore Road. William Kuhn agreed with his wife that the smoke looked like a new wildfire; he called an 800 number for the Central Oregon Interagency Fire Center to report it. Leigh Kuhn said the couple felt there was an urgency to the situation and that minutes counted in the response to the fire. The couple lost their previous home in Deschutes River Woods in the 1990 Awbrey Hall fire. And they've called in early reports of fires before, earning a stuffed Smokey Bear from the Forest Service for their efforts. Whether a quicker response would have changed the outcome of the Pole Creek Fire is unclear, but Allen said forest officials have d i rected dispatchers to avoid the mistakes of that morning on future fires. William Kuhn was saddened to hear that th e d ispatcher didn't pass on the information he provided to f i r efighters. Kuhn wondered aloud whether an earlier response by firefighters wouldhave stopped the fire when it was small.

Differing accounts The Forest Service and Kuhn give different accounts of what information he provided that morning. For example, Allen said Kuhn didn't give dispatchers his name; Kuhn said he did. No record of the call exists, Forest Service officials say. "I was real, real specific about our location, so why w ouldn't I g i v e t h e m m y name?" Kuhn said. He said he told the dispatcher specifically where his house is located along Sisemore Road and that the fire appeared to be starting between Melvin Butte and North Sister. But Kuhn said the d ispatcher "wasn't with it" and not interested in the call; Kuhn said he tried to remain polite but insistent. " You don't w ant t o say, 'Damn it, get on it!'" Kuhn said. "But why didn't they get on it?" Firefighters learned about the fire around 9:20 a.m. when a lookout, headed to work on Henkle Butte northeast of Sisters that morning, also spotted smoke, said District Ranger Kristie Miller of th e Sisters Ranger District of th e Deschutes National Forest. Forest Service lookouts and firefighters don't typically start work duringthe fire season in Central Oregon until 9:30 a.m., she said. "Fires don't usually start popping up until the afternoon, when it gets hot," Miller said. A duty officer working out of the district office in Sisters would guide the firefighting effort; that person didn't start work until 9:30 a.m., either. Miller declined to identify the duty officer that day. "I'd prefer you didn't talk to him," she said. Dave Robertson, who filled in this summer as the fire management officer for the Sisters District, heard the radio traffic and calledaround 9:45 a.m. to offer his help. Forty-five minutes later, he became the first firefighter on scene. Robertson occ a sionally caught glimpses of the rising smoke as he drove the halfhour from Sisters to the Pole Creek Trailhead, "It was just kind of a smudge of smoke," he said. A firefighter for 22 years, Robertson said the smoke indicated a "small, creeping" fire. An engine was also dispatched. Typically, the Forest Service sends a firefighter to assess the fire from the ground before dispatching assets like aircraft, Robertson and Miller said. "You don't launch the entire world at a wispy little smoke,"

First day ofthefire U.S. Forest Service investigators say lightning at dusk Sept. 8 caused the

Pole CreekFire southwest of Sisters. The fire wasn't spotted untilthe next morning. The events involving the fire on Sept. 9:

Around6:10a.m. — Leigh Kuhn first notices puffs and wisps of smokes rising upfrom the woods between Melvin Butte and North Sister. Around 6:30 a.m. —Her husband, William Kuhn, sees the smoke and calls the Central

After driving up a seldomused road into the woods by the Pole Creek Trailhead, Robertson left his pickup behind and started hiking to the fire about a quarter to a third of a mile away.

Not quite 10 minutes later, Robertson decided to hustle back to his truck, he said. The firefollowed him, spreading down the hill and making

for an unnerving jog through the cluttered woods. While Robertson said he was surprisedto see how fast the fire grew, he also said the amount of dead wood and other vegetation left the forest ready to burn. On the right day,

with the right wind conditions, he said, "they go quick."

'Dropped the ball' The Pole Creek Fire turned a sojourn into the wilderness into an ordeal for Cynthia BrownGrochowski, 42, of Bend, as it did for more than two dozen other hikers and campers. She had hiked to Camp Lake from the Pole Creek Trailhead on Sept. 8 for an overnight campout with her husband and some friends. T he fire f orced them t o change their path out of the woods Sept. 9, hiking up and

over the saddle between South and Middle Sister and eventually to the Obsidian Trailhead. Once out of the wilderness, Brown-Grochowski said, she learned the fire had destroyed her Jeep Liberty, along with three other vehicles parked at the Pole Creek Trailhead. After hearing l ast w e ek about the dispatch mistake the first morning of the fire, she said it was fortunate that the blaze didn't hurt anyone. "It's a shame that someone dropped the ball," Brown-Grochowski said. "You can only speculate, but you think if there were an earlier response, it could have been prevented." She said she is hopeful the Forest Service will make some improvements to ensure that calls to the dispatch center are recorded properly. Sisters Mayor Lon Kellstrom said the dispatch mistake the first morning of the Pole Creek Fire was a pretty expensive one. "The fact of the matter is the sooner you get on the fire, the better off you are," he said. Robertson, the first firefighter on the scene, and Miller, the district ranger, said they don't know whether an earlier response would have changed the outcome of the Pole Creek Fire. Dead and downed lodgepole pine trees littered the forest, the result of insect kills in the 1980s and 1990s. "It was just a sea of timber," Robertson said. Allen, who said he has been involved with fighting wildfire for 35 years, agreed with Robertson and Miller. Even if firefighters had received the initial report, they would have had to come into work early to respond. Allen said their arrival at the fire was delayed by about only an hour and a half. He said he couldn't say with any confidence that a quicker response would have changed the end result. "It would be speculation on my part," Allen said. "I have been around a lot of fire in my life and it is not very productive to speculate." — Reporter:541-617-7812, ddarlingC<bendbulletin.com

In Bend, Summit High is hosting three-day boys and girls varsity tournaments. The Storm boys will be playing an eight-team bracketed tournament with rivals Bend and Mountain View, as well as teams from Ashland, West Albany, Sandy, Horizon Christian of Tualatin, and Newport, Wash. "Most high school basketball teams go to some type of holiday tournament," Summit boys coach Jon Frazier says. "Some go to California or Vegas or even Hawaii. We offer a really great tournament setting, especially for teams in the Northwest that don't want to fly.... And in general, there's not a lot better places than Bend to be around during the holidays."

OSe ow ein reur iS e — a a By Jack Wang Los Angeles Daily News

PASADENA — A small, bronze plaque embedded in the Rose Bowl's concrete wall greets visitors to the legendary stadium. It's the first thing Darryl Dunn, the stadium's general manager, points to as he walks through, explaining why an ambitious $152 million renovation project has swelled dramatically in both cost and duration. The plaque, measuring less than a foot in either direction, stands as a humble symbol for uncommon prestige: a spot as a National Historic Landmark. Only three other stadiums in the country share that designation: Harvard Stadium, the Yale Bowl and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Walk inside, though, and the history shows. In one section, the red paint on rows of seats is fading. In another, the concrete is stained with rusty orange-brown streaks. "What we're trying to do — what we've been doing, not trying — is making the Rose Bowl viable for the future," Dunn says. That goal has been delayed by fiscal reality. A gap had opened Up even before constructionbegan, as fears of inflation depressed an initial bond

sale that brought in nearly $19 million less than expected. When the stadium renovation project first began in early 2011, it had a $152 million budget and a threeyear, three-phase timeline. The plan bought 30-yearlease extensions for both the Tournament of Roses, which hosts the annual Rose Bowl Game, and UCLA's football team, ensuring both tenants will remain in Pasadena through 2042. Nonetheless, since its inception, the cost of the renovation climbed to more than $180 million, according to stadium officials. That doesn't include $15 million in originally planned elements that will no longer be built, which would bring the overall cost to around $194 million. That full version won't happen until around 2015 — well after the 2014 BCS Championship and the 100th edition of the Rose Bowl Game. None of t hat seems to b other Dunn on this particular morning, as the Southern California sun shimmers on grass that's just a week old. Manicured lines on the field curve in gentle waves. As Dunn looks out, his voice is dipped in optimism. "This isn't just a football stadium," he says. "In many ways, it is hallowed

IN THE BLEACHERS

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Even the Sistine Chapel needed a restoration. As the Rose Bowl aged, officials feared that it would be left behind in the stadium-building rat race. When talks of other grand blueprintssprung up in other corners of Los Angeles County, Pasadena didn't want to risk losing its clout or historic pride — a fate that had snared other venues. The Orange Bowl, the longtime home of the University of Miami, was demolished in 2008. The Cotton Bowl still stands, but lost its game three years ago to Cowboys' Stadium, 20 miles west. If the Rose Bowl had not been renovated, Dunn fears it might have lost out on the BCS bowl rotation, and eventually even UCLA home games. Its history as the site of Super Bowls, World Cup championships, Olympic soccer gold medal games and outdoor concerts featuring the Rolling Stones and U2, would be soon forgotten in the crush. Newer Los Angeles stadiums — if built — would eventually get the business — possiblyeven the Rose Bowl Game itself. "You have to give credit to the city

to continue to invest when temptationsare across the country to scrap the original stadium for more modern ones," says Pasadena City Manager Michael Beck. "I think there's been a creative balance." Tournament of Roses president Sally Bixby said her organization maintains strong ties to the storied stadium and wants to see those ties continue. "The Rose Bowl is an iconic facility," she said. "We're invested in preserving it." Renovation proceeded with five main goals: ensuring public safety; enhancing fan experience; improving facility operations; developing revenue streams; and maintaining national landmark status. The problem was that no one foresaw a litany of increased costs. From bid overrunsto increased labor costs to missing historical construction drawings, the Rose Bowl Operating Co., which Dunn heads, saw its bills quickly multiply. Two months ago, the RBOC even discussed potential litigation against a fired contractor. The stadium's national landmark status presented particular challenges. For example, the berm beneath the pressbox was considered part of the historic landscape; extra time and

money was spent on trying to figure out ways to preserve it. After further analysis, unstable soil c onditions forced the project team to dismantle the berm and work directly from the concourse level. Dunn says that while he does not regret pursuing the project, he wishes they had established greater contingency. "Pretend you have a 90-year-old house," he says. "Imagine all the behind-the-scenes stuff you have to do. It's huge." Dunn believes in the project and urges patience. UCLA is exercising patience as well. Athletic director Dan Guerrero says that if stadium construction doesn't reach substantial completion by a certain time, the school would receive financial remedies. UCLA and the Rose Bowl are still negotiating what that would entail. With featureslike the new press box, scoreboard and video screen already in use, Guerrero doesn't anticipate that

happening. "We don't believe we're going to be in that situation, based on discussions that we've had," Guerrero says. "We're working together to come to an agreement that will benefit both parties."

The Associated Press SEATTLE — Fueled by its deafeninghome crowd,the Seattle Seahawks locked up their spot in the postseason Sunday night. They also reinforced the notion no one in the NFC wants to see them when the playoffs begin, even if they are a wild card. R ussell Wilson t h rew a career-high four t ouchdown passes to move into second place for most TD passes by a rookie. Marshawn Lynch scored two first-quarter TDs, and the Seahawks blew out the San Francisco 49ers 42-13. Richard Sherman returned a blocked field goal 90 yards for another touchdown as the

to break t h e s i ngle-season rookie record, and his touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne late in the fourth quarter put Indianapolis in the playoffs. Luck surpassed Cam Newton's year-old record of 4,051 yards passing by a rookie in the second quarter, and then came through in the closing minutes. He marched Indy to the Chiefs 7, then found Wayne in the back of the end zone on thirdand-goal for t h e g o -ahead score.

Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard (11) breaks away for a dunk over SacramentoKings defender Chuck Hayes during the first half of Sunday night's game in Sacramento, Calif.

way. "I just think it was one of those games where the other team played better than us," Portland rookie guard Damian Lillard said.

NBA SCOREBOARD

Portland's win streakendsin Sacramento The Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It appears the Sacramento Kings can play well without their controversial leading scorer and rebounder, DeMarcus Cousins. With Cousins not in the arena because disciplinary reasons, the Kings were an effective, unselfish team. Now the question is whether they can keep it up. Marcus Thornton scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half to help the slumping Kings snap Portland's fivegame winning streak with a 108-96 victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Cousins, who is the starting center, was suspended indefinitely Saturday for unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team. The thirdyear playerand Kings head coach Keith Smart had a confrontation during halftime of Friday's 97-85 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Smart told Cousins to stay in the locker room and not join the team for the second half. Sacramento had six players in double figures and recorded a season-high 31 assists against Portland. The K i ngs pulled away in the second half, shooting nearly 71 percent after the break. Using its eighth different starting lineup this season, Sacramento had a season-best 45 field goals. "We were missing DeMarcus, so we had a different lineup out there and it worked out tonight," said James Johnson, who made a rare start at power forward while Jason Thompson moved to center. "We were a small team tonight so we ran fast and played very unselfish." Both Thornton and John Salmons helped spark the second-half surge after both were relative non-factors in the opening half. The pair combined for 31 second-half points, helping the Kings pull away. Thornton made eight of 11 shots in the second half and finished with four rebounds and four assists. Salmons had 13 of his 15 points in the second half and also added seven rebounds and seven assists. "John is a very unselfish player and can get his own shots," Thornton said. "He got going in the second half. Me and the first half didn't do so well. But I came on at the right time and got hot in the second half." Already ahead by nine points, the

MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2012• THE BULLETIN

Holloman Continued from B1 Misty would need far longer than two minutes. In fact, she would need about two hours, Kevin said, skiing just short distances before falling and then requiring time to get up and into her gear again. "She would protest early on," Kevin said. "She would start sniveling, 'I don't want

to go.' "

Kevin was inclined to acquiesce, but Ann — a longtime skier to whom Kevin has been marriedfor three years and whom Misty calls mom — put her foot down. "Ann said, 'No. We've got the grandkids and the kids, and you're part of this family, and you get your butt up there on that hill,' " Kevin said. So Misty did: The tough love approach worked, and Misty has rapidly built up her skills. "One thing that Misty does not have is fear. We've taken her on some pretty steep hills ... and she just goes," Ann observed. "So she doesn't really have a fear. She has a crashing point where she's had enough and she'll just kind of throw up her hands and give up, but she really doesn't have fear." The 2012 Special Olympics Oregon winter sports season was Misty's first with the High Desert chapter, but she quickly moved from the beginning group to the intermediate group. And at the SOO Winter State Games at Mt. Bachelor this past March, Misty won a gold medal in her division of the intermediate super-G, which was the first step in her journey to the Special Olympics World Winter Games. "The rough version is that you have to get a gold in your sport, and then you have to be chosen," Jill Simmons, Doug

Lake Placid in New York, earlier this month with a piece of rolling luggage chock-full of the uniforms she will wear while in South Korea. "She is going to get a complete gorgeous ski wardrobe out of it, and that is really exciting for her, because she loves new stuff," Ann said. "She's a 'new stuff' person." "She's a typical girl," Kevin agreed about his daughter, who works for the Opportunity Foundation of Central

Oregon.

Misty has been preparing for her big competition by going to 5:45 a.m. spin classes with Ann at Bend's Juniper Swim 8: Fitness Center. In October, she won two gold medals at an SOO aquatics regional in Gresham, and Ann and Kevin have taken her skiing when they have been able. (Practices for the 20D SOO snow sports season do not begin until next month.) During her trip to Whiteface, Misty got to test out an early Christmas present, a Joe Kline /The Bulletin new pair of skis that Ann described as being 10 to 15 cen"She alwayshas a smileon her face.

NBA Continued from B1 And that's not even mentioning how returns by Amare Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert could impact the Knicks, for better or worse, or how a return by Hedo Turkoglu just might make the surprising Orlando Magic even more of a surprise. Just this past week, Avery Bradley began practicing with the Boston Celtics following last season's shoulder issues. As Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, "Right now, we are not a good team. We'rea .500 team. We're playing like it. We're not a good team, but we're searching for one." Perhaps more than ever before at this point of a season, teams still are looking within for answers. Much of the Celtics' makeover strategy was predicated on Bradley being a significant

ings, as many are expecting with the Los Angeles Lakers and Steve Nash. And the Clippers, for all they have accomplished to this point, have yet to inject Grant Hill into their mix. Midseason might only be weeks away, but in many ways it still f eels like preseason when it comes to piecing together th e p l ayoff p u zzle. Take the Knicks, for example: While Shumpert might provide more of a defensive edge, how will reduced minutes for Steve Novak or J.R. Smith change the 3-point dynamic? "We don't know anything yet," Heat forward L eBron James said when asked to assess the NBA's missing pieces, particularly in the East. "There's a lot of teams right now that are missing some impact players, Danny Granger, Derrick Rose, that's the big quest>on mark.

A year ago, no one knew what to expect with the lockout-compacted schedule, players pushed into action after m onths of i n a ctivity. T h i s season, though, it seems as if there are as many unknowns nearly two months into the schedule. "I think," Battier said, "this is the year everyone thought it would be last year."

Familiar confidence inTiger Woodsdims Tiger Woods came off the 18th green after his second round in the 2012 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island tied for the lead. Again. It was the third consecutive major championship that Woods was in or near the lead at the halfway point. This had once been a familiar sight — missing maybe for a couple of years, but for m ore thana decade before,the golf world knew exactly how Woods looked in command of a big tournament. And fans worldwide knew the frequent outcome: 14 major victories. But in 2012, as good as Woods could sometimes be, there was one Woods on the weekdays of m ajor t ournaments and an altogether different Woods on the weekends, especially the last three. His average score in the first two rounds of this year's majorswas 70,while his average score in the final two rounds was 72.9. It was worse than the statistics indicated — no weekend round under par and three rounds of 74 or higher. In the final three majors, Woods' average weekday round was even lower (68.8). His weekend average was 72.8.

"I looked at the Eastern Conference standings,and there are a bunch of teams right there," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "Whatever team can get hot ... a hot streak in the East, for two weeks, could separate you from the pack." The type of difference Bynum could make if he actually makes it back. The type Rose or Granger certainly can make. "It is kind of weird, in the v olume of g u y s w h o s t i l l aren't playing." Heat center Chris Bosh said. "It's kind of a good and a bad thing for those t eams, because you k n o w what they're capable of, but you've got to work them in, and it takes a while." The result could be a No. 7 or No. 8 seed that is just hitting its stride come playoff time. "That's always a danger," Battier said. "New York was that team last year.

ADVICE 4 E N T ERTAINMENT TV TODAY

tan outsw o itu t escreenin TV SPOTLIGHT By Eric Deggans Tampa Bay Times

The sad reality about television is that sometimes, great performances gettrapped in not-so-great television shows. So, as we wrap up 2012 in arts coverage, I decided to list my Most Compelling TV Characters of the Year. These are the characters who kept me tuning in, week after week, even when I knew the show they appeared in wasn't so great. Or they added extra sizzle to a series already on my must-see list. 10. Miles Matheson (Billy Burke), NBC's "Revolution." This post-apocalyptic show about a mysterious process that snuffed out the world's electricity is a thin collection of TV tropes that would have died messily if it weren't airing after NBC's super-successful "The Voice." But Burke's Matheson, a wor l d -weary

But on the actual date, Posey's character reveals herself to be manic in a way that is both intoxicating and a bit frightening. When she dies of a mysterious, nosebleedinducing ailment after bumping into him on a bus in the season finale, it all feels sadly appropriate.

Dunham), HBO's "Girls." Entitled, aimless, vaguely ambitious and trapped in a demeaning relationship, Dunham's Horvath embodies the attitude of too many young twentysomethings aware of the life they'd like to lead with no idea how to achieve it. 2 .

This is why I urge you and your husband to take a little time, refocus your attention to children less fortunate thanyour own, and invest some of your energy in other youths who need the encouragement and support you can give. If you do, you will be rewarded 0 many times over. Dear Abby:My exhusband — who had an affai r— and Ihavebeen divorced forthree years, buthave been forced into a roommate situation due to health issues on my part and financial issues on his. We have two kids together that I have needed his help with. However, there is a potential "new guy" in my life who is uncomfortable that my ex still lives here. My friends tell me I'm too nice to have let him stay here for so long. I feel it's the charitable thing to do because he has nowhere to go. I'm also afraid my kids will think I'm being hateful if I kick their father out. Oh my God, Abby, what do I do? — In Transition in Tennessee Dear ln Transition:If you want to stay "stuck" in your predicament, allow your former husband to continue living there. If you would like to go on with your life, then recognize

Danes), Showtime's "Homeland. " There may not be a more interesting character on TV than Danes' Mathison, a bipolar CIA agent whose manic impulses led her to discover that a U.S. war hero was a secret double agent working for Middle Eastern terrorists. No one plays a woman hang-

playing English politicians in acclaimed TV dramas. Here, he's a sly charmer hiding the iron fist he uses to rule Woodbury, a town full of p eople trying to survive the zombie

I also can't stop myself from making some comment about how my sons were better. I know it's wrong, but I still do it. Sporting events make me sad and my husband depressed. Is this empty nest? We can't seem to figure out how to move on. Have you any suggestions'? More children are out of the question. — Spotlights Dimmed in Ohio Dear S.D.:When people peer too long into a spotlight — whether directly or the reflected glare of someone nearby — it diminishes their vision for a period of time after the light is extinguished. What you may fail to see is that all parents are proud of their kids, and if you continue to compare otherpeople's children unfavorably with your own, you will soon be as welcome as a polecat at a

that very few men would want to dateawoman who has another man living with her. By allowing your ex to stay with you, you have allowed your children to think your marriage could be repaired. If that is not the case — and search your heart before answering that question — then set a time limit for him to leave. Dear Abby: My husband and I went to a restaurant last night. We were enjoying our meal when a couple came in and sat at atable closeto ours. Soon, a bad body odor wafted over to where we were sitting. It was so strong I couldn't finish my dinner. When we got up to pay our bill, we told the manager about it and asked what could be done. He said that was a tough question and he didn't know the answer. What would you

suggest? — Choking n Iowa Dear Choking:It was not the responsibility of the restaurant staff to "do" anything about your problem. The thing to do was change to a table in another section.

• I was terribly saddened • to learn of the death of Larry Hagman. Did he do other seriesbesides "Dallas" and "I Dream of Jeannie"'? — Joan Parker, Bend • Yes, though those clear• ly were the best-known. After "Jeannien and before "Dallas," H a gman s t a rred with Donna Mills (whose own star would be boosted by the "Dallas" spinoff "Knots Landing") in "The Good Life" as a couple posing as servants to a rich businessman. Then came "Here We Go Again," about newlyweds living near their ex-spouses. After "Dallas," H agman had a short run in "Orleans" as the judge patriarch of a law-enforcement family and though he wasn't a regular cast member of either series, he also had multiple-episode stays on both "Desperate HOuSeWiVeS" and "Nip/TuCk.n

• Can you tell me h o w • many James Bond movies Dame Judi Dench has been in? — MelOdy OISO72,PhelPS, WiS. Seven.

Daniel Craig's introduction as Bond in the 2006 "Casino Royalen played a little loose with the screen history of M, though Dench still played her. If one goes by the Brosnan movies, Bond long would have had his license to kill — which Craig's Bond was just acquiring — by the time she arrived on the scene.

Tribune Media Services

In a C h ristmas cartoon, Mary, astride a donkey outside the full-up inn, is giving Joseph a scolding. The caption: "You should have booked on online." It's easier to make travel plans now than in pre-Internet days, but bridge players still set out on a 13-trick journey without a plan. At today's grand slam, South took the king of diamonds and cashed the A-K of trumps. He next tried to unblock his K-Q of hearts before drawing the last trump, but West ruffed.

raises to three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Slam is quite possible. Your partner has an unbalanced or semi-balanced hand worth about 17 points in support of hearts with fourcard support.If he has 3, K Q 4 2, K 6 5, A K 7 6 3, winning 12 tricks will be easy. Cue-bid four diamonds to show your side ace and suggest slam. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

I ha v e some conf i r m ed reservations about South's play; S outh must plan in c ase of f o ul breaks.He can take the ace of trumps at Trick Two, then the king of hearts. He leads a trump to the ten, discards his queen of hearts on the ace of diamonds and ruffs a heart high. South next draws trumps with the queen,ruffsa heart,takes the ace of clubs and ruffs a club. He has the rest with good hearts. Unlucky Louie, Rose, my other club members and I wish for my readers a holiday season of peace and Joy.
