Help for Redmond citizens Area lobbyist among those who can’t pay water bills alleging a tax vote vendetta

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Redmond has established a utility assistance fund to help residents pay water bills, a move that came Monday as dozens of people donated a total of $1,200 to help a cancer victim keep water service.

Because of those donations, Lynette Nicks, 39, won’t have to pay her water bills for about the next 18 months, she said.

Nicks, who is recovering from breast cancer, fell behind on her water bill over the

last two months. The city was scheduled to turn off her water service on Feb. 15.

About 100 people called the city and another 30 visited its offices asking how to help, the day after The Bulletin ran a Sunday story about Nicks. Local residents made most of the calls, but people also phoned from out of state, according to city staff.

Though grateful, Nicks said people should turn their attention to others in need.

SALEM — Lobbyists and business officials say House Democratic leadership is engaging in a campaign of payback against lobbyists and industries who opposed the tax increases approved by voters last month.

Mark Nelson, a lobbyist who represents Deschutes County as well as many other clients, has long been considered one of the top lobbyists in Salem.

But now, he says, he is facing retribution from House Speaker Dave Hunt, D-Clackamas County, and other Democrats.

SALEM — The state may have enough money socked away to handle a $180 million revenue shortfall, so legislators can start worrying about the next budget they have to build — one that may not have federal stimulus dollars.

A revenue forecast Monday showed income tax revenues are expected to slacken the next 16 months as the state works through the two-year budget that expires in mid-2011.

That means the Legislature during its current four-week Inside session will • State have to rejigagriculture ger the budsales take get, but House a beating, Speaker Dave Page A4 Hunt suggested Monday that won’t be heavy lifting.

Legislators can draw on $220 million expected in rainyday and school aid reserves, and the budget has a $79 million ending cushion, Hunt said.

There’s also widespread support for another budget-fixing measure: curbing tax credits for a green energy program that has fostered the state’s wind energy program. That could offset $55 million of the shortfall.

“For this biennium, we are likely to squeak by,” said Rep. Phil Barnhart of Eugene, chairman of the House Revenue Committee.

State Economist Tom Potiowsky told the committee the state’s economy has emerged from recession but not strongly. Job growth is expected by spring, but this year’s totals will still be lower than those of 2009, he said.

He said economic activity will hit a “soft patch” this year, although he doesn’t expect a return to recession. Companies have been rebuilding inventories at a pace that can’t be sustained, and the effect of federal stimulus dollars will begin to wear off, he said.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

FORT WORTH, Texas — It began with a tingling sensation, as if her foot was going to sleep.

Then numbness set in. It crept up to Elizabeth Gilley’s calf and onto her thigh.

Over the next six months, the Mineral Wells, Texas, woman grew weaker, her skin turned pale, and she could barely walk across the room without gasping for breath.

When she collapsed in 2007, Gilley was taken to a hospital.

“The doctor didn’t know how I was still conscious,” Gilley said.

At first, doctors told her that she had leukemia, but tests didn’t confirm cancer. CT scans, MRIs and blood tests followed. Still Gilley was no closer to a diagnosis.

After a year of seeing doctor after doctor, she finally found out what was causing the symptoms, but she could hardly believe what the physician was telling her.

“Within five minutes of seeing him, he asked me if I wore denture cream,” said Gilley, 26, who was forced to get dentures as a teenager after a genetic condition ruined her teeth. “I handed him the tube; he told me to stop using it.”

But by then the damage was done. Gilley could no longer walk, drive a car or get around without a wheelchair. Once an active young woman who had recently gotten married, she was rarely able to leave her home.

Gilley joined a growing number of people nationwide who have filed lawsuits alleging that the makers of some denture creams knew about the health risks associated with high levels of zinc in their products and did nothing about it. Fixodent and Super Poligrip are named in class-action lawsuits filed in Tennessee last year.

Gilley’s suit against GlaxoSmithKline was recently filed in Philadelphia, where the manufacturer is located. About 20 other claimants have also filed suits in mass tort court in Pennsylvania.

GlaxoSmithKline declined to comment on the litigation. But on the Web site for Super Poligrip, the manufacturer addresses issues surrounding zinc.

What is safe?

Both GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Poligrip and Super Poligrip, and Procter & Gamble, the maker of Fixodent, have said that their products contain zinc at levels recognized as safe. GlaxoSmithKline’s label now states that there have been reports of serious health effects from increased zinc intake over a long period. But the company notes that small amounts swallowed during normal use are not harmful and that consumers should not apply the product more than once a day.

In addition, the Food and Drug Administration classifies the creams as medical devices and does not require zinc to be listed as an ingredient.

But dozens of people have been permanently disabled after using the cream for years, and at least one person has died, said Ed Bliz-

The makers of Poligrip and Fixodent address common questions at: • www.mypolicare.com (Poligrip, Super Poligrip) • www.dentureliving.com (Fixodent) were using on average two tubes of denture cream a week compared with the one tube every month to six weeks that dentists recommend.

Use as directed

Paul Moseley / Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Elizabeth Gilley, with husband James Gilley at home in Mineral Wells, Texas, had used denture cream since she was 15 after a genetic condition ruined her teeth. Gilley developed neuropathy, which causes numbness, tingling and pain, after ingesting dangerous levels of zinc, likely from her denture cream. She can no longer walk, drive a car or get around without a wheelchair. zard of Houston, Gilley’s attorney.

“I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “I think a lot of people out there have neuropathy and don’t know it could be connected to their dentures.”

An estimated 35 million Americans use adhesives to secure their dentures, and most have no health problems associated with the creams. But some have developed severe neurological problems, they say, caused by ingesting dangerously high levels of zinc. Gilley developed neuropathy, which causes numbness, tingling and pain.

For years, the source of high zinc levels was a mystery. But recently researchers have observed a link between neurological problems and the use of denture cream, which contains zinc.

In 2008, researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center reported on four young to middle-age patients who developed numbness, weakness

and difficulty walking after ingesting high levels of zinc.

It’s well-documented that too much zinc interferes with the absorption of copper into the bloodstream and can lead to neuropathy, said Dr. Sharon Nations, an associate professor of neurology at UT Southwestern.

The question was, where was the zinc was coming from?

Nations suspected that denture cream might be the source after discovering that one of her patients had used the product a lot.

When she learned that another had also used denture cream in large amounts, she tested a tube for zinc.

“We found it contained significant amounts,” she said.

Since the patients were not getting zinc from vitamins, food or other sources, the researchers were left with one conclusion.

“The patients had no other source of the zinc,” Nations said.

Those involved in the study

When used as directed, denture creams are safe and adverse effects are very rare, according to the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, which represents the makers of over-thecounter medicines, vitamins and other products.

It is expected that consumers would ingest some zinc from denture cream, but the amounts would be small, the association said in a statement.

The amounts ingested would be no more than the amount in 6 ounces of ground beef, six oysters or a vitamin, according to Procter & Gamble.

Blizzard said denture wearers had no reason to cut back on denture cream because until recently there was no warning against using as much as they needed.

“In fact, on the box, it said that if the amount you’re using doesn’t work, use more,” he said.

Gilley, who was not part of the study, did exactly that.

She used the cream as often as every two hours to keep the poorly fitted dentures in her mouth.

Then 15 years old and a freshman in high school, she was embarrassed by the dentures, which became necessary after a genetic disorder damaged the enamel on her teeth. She was terrified that the dentures would fall out while she was eating in the school cafeteria.

She never imagined that the denture cream would lead to health problems a few years later.

Since learning about the link between her health problems and zinc, Gilley has stopped using the cream and gotten better-fitting dentures that stay in place without adhesives.

She has gradually regained some strength and moved from a wheelchair to a walker. But the numbness still makes it difficult to walk, and she rarely leaves the apartment she shares with her husband.

In general, patients who developed neurological problems after being exposed to excessive zinc have not shown dramatic improvements, Nations said.

“Their neurological problems don’t improve; they just stop progressing,” she said.

Gilley, who spends her time playing with her new puppy and watching television, is still optimistic despite waves of depression.

“I do hope I get full function back,” she said. “That would be so great to live life again the way I used to.”

Thrifty consumers dislike fate of unsold stuff

By Ylan Q. Mui The Washington Post

The demise of the Waldenbooks chain this month would probably have been just another blip on the bleak retail landscape — until some employees confronted a mountain of unwanted books.

The chain, owned by Borders, had deemed them unsellables — leftover bodice-ripping romance novels and true-crime stories — and workers were instructed to strip off the covers and toss the guts. Online and in interviews, employees and customers across the country called

it wasteful and launched a viral Internet campaign to change the practice.

“As a librarian & book freak, this hurts my heart!” posted one member of the Facebook group Donate, Not Dumpster! “Give them to kids, homeless shelters, shelters for abused women and families, foster homes, hospitals, health clinics — the possibilities are endless!”

The controversy sheds new light on what happens to the stuff consumers leave behind. The recession has prompted an unprecedented pullback in spending while consumers clamor for

companies to become more environmentally conscious. Even though shoppers are buying less, they don’t want the remainder to go to waste.

Since the recession began, marquee names such as Linens ‘n Things, Steve & Barry’s and Circuit City have gone out of business with warehouses full of inventory. Even healthy retailers are typically saddled with excess inventory after a holiday season that even the most aggressive clearance sales can’t eliminate.

“It always seems to be the last thing that a retailer thinks about,” said Gary Kulp, presi-

dent of the retail division at Gordon Brothers Group, a liquidation and salvage firm. He estimates that as much as 30 percent of a store’s inventory can go unsold.

Retailers frequently turn to such outside firms to handle the purge. The fate of the unsellables can lead to a clothing rack at Marshall’s or an export container bound for South America, experts say. Liquidation and salvage firms handle hundreds of millions of dollars of merchandise annually, collecting, sorting, repackaging — and, in many cases, eventually reselling.

Any frugalista knows information can mean big-time savings, and the Internet is the best source of quick-and-easy information. But keeping up with all the useful Web sites could be a full-time job.

Here are a few spendingsmart sites you might not know about: • Cheapism.com: You probably know about product reviews on ConsumerReports .org. And maybe you’ve seen the compilation and analysis of reviews on ConsumerSearch .com. Cheapism.com is similar but different. It reviews only low-priced products in a category. The idea is not to feature the best-quality products, whether laptop computers, mattresses or treadmills, but low-priced products that have the features, functionality and reliability you’re likely to need, said co-founder Max Levitte. If all the low-priced products in a category stink, they won’t recommend any, he said.

• MyRatePlan.com: Early termination fees have always been an expensive annoyance for wireless phone customers who want to get out of their contracts. While the major wireless carriers will prorate your termination fee based on how far into the contract you are, it can still cost hundreds of dollars. For example, Verizon Wireless in December doubled its smart phone early termination fee to $350. If you can’t find your wireless contract for information on these fees, go to myrateplan.com/contract_ter mination_fees/. It has a simpleto-use fee calculator for the four major carriers. Even if you have to pay an early termination fee, it could be worth switching to, say, a prepaid phone, which could save many consumers hundreds of dollars per year.

• AccuQuote.com: Paying insurance premiums monthly often costs more than paying annually or semi-annually. If you’re a bit math-challenged and want to see, try the calculator at accuquote.com/modal .cfm. It will translate the extra you’re paying into an annual percentage rate, similar to credit card interest. You could be paying as much as 29.7 percent “interest” by choosing the monthly option, AccuQuote says. AccuQuote.com is also good for comparing rates on term life insurance, which is recommended if you got your policy many years ago.

Also for the math-challenged, www.dinkytown.com features more than 350 no-cost money calculators.

• ShoppingDudes.com: Shopping and coupon Web sites abound online. You might know about Dealnews.com and FatWallet.com for bargains or PriceGrabber.com and Shop ping.com for price comparisons. ShoppingDudes.com offers a couple of different services. One is a personal shopper service. Plug in what you want to buy, preferably with a model number, what you want to pay and your e-mail address, and ShoppingDudes will let you know when it finds the item at the price you want. Another service is Coupons to Your Inbox, which sends coupons only from retailers you choose.

• DentalPlans.com: If you don’t have dental insurance, a discount plan might be right for you. DentalPlans.com outlines plans in your area. Savings vary. For example, a family discount plan might cost about $150 to $200 per year. But you might save $20 per six-month checkup and $350 on a root canal. Plans vary widely in price and coverage, so find one that fits your anticipated expenses.

You also can use a discount plan with dental insurance.

T S Will Obama’s summit be Insurer warned feds more than just good TV? about acceleration complaints in Toyotas

Rep. John Murtha’s mastery of doling out federal money earned him admirers in both parties but also the nickname the “King of Pork” from his critics.

Veteran lawmaker John Murtha dies at 77

WASHINGTON — Could this turn into something more than political theater?

President Barack Obama’s televised dialogue with Republican lawmakers on health care, promised for later this month, has the makings of an entertaining exchange.

But the differences between the basic Democratic and GOP ideas are stark — and the two sides have increasingly hardened their positions in this election year.

Yet, in a story with more twists than a soap opera, Obama’s invitation to congressional leaders of both parties to attend a Feb. 25 meeting can’t be dismissed as a mere diversion. Although many Americans have doubts about the Democrats’ sweeping plans to cover the uninsured, Republicans can’t afford to be perceived as oblivious to the health

care insecurities of middle-class families.

“My expectations? Probably below 50 percent, but not zero,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, DVa., a moderate who serves as president of the Democratic freshman class. “At some point, the public is going to demand that Republicans participate like mature adults, and not just say ‘no’ to everything.”

It’s the Democrats’ big-government approach — not Republicans — that’s the problem, insisted Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., author of the House GOP bill. “The president has got to show that he has heard what the American people are saying. He’s got to make clear we are not going to start off with the current bill.”

Some differences

• Democrats want an upfront commitment to cover most of the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans. Republicans prefer taking steps to cut costs, then revisiting full coverage over time.

• Democrats would raise taxes to provide government subsidies for people who can’t afford to buy health insurance.

Republicans say now is not the time to increase taxes.

• Both sides want to bar insurance companies from turning down people with health problems, but only Democrats propose requiring most people to get coverage — a necessary first step, according to most experts. To illustrate the gap, the House GOP bill would cover 3 million uninsured people, the House Democratic version 36 million.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest auto insurer alerted federal safety regulators on numerous occasions starting in 2007 about a rise in reports of unexpected acceleration in Toyotas, according to the insurer, State Farm.

The warnings, from a firm that maintains a vast store of crash data based on its customer base of more than 40 million, followed a stream of consumer complaints about the alleged defect. Regulators received the warnings more than a year before they pressed the automaker to issue recalls affecting millions of cars and trucks.

Congressional investigators are now focusing on whether the government reacted properly to years of complaints and other evidence regarding the acceleration problems.

The warnings to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are likely to add to criticism that the agency missed or overlooked signs of trouble.

“When we see something that might be helpful, we pass it along,” said Dick Luedke, a State Farm spokesman.

Luedke declined to go into detail about the alerts, except to characterize them as “numerous” and not “everyday” occurrences. He directed further questions to NHTSA. NHTSA spokeswoman Karen Aldana said the agency received a claim letter from State Farm in September 2007 regarding a Camry crash.

“Our investigative staff reviewed the report and added the information to our complaint database,” she said in a statement.

Aldana offered no comment on the other alerts from State Farm on Toyotas.

Paperwork ties up medical evacuations of Haitian children

By Ian Urbina New York Times News Service

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Private medical evacuations of critically injured Haitian children to the U.S. for treatment have largely stopped because aid workers, doctors and government officials are worried about being accused of kidnapping if they transport the children without first getting paperwork that is slow to arrive or is unavailable.

Before 10 Americans were arrested trying to take children out of Haiti late last month, the largest pediatric field hospital in Haiti was airlifting 15 injured children aboard private flights to the U.S. each day.

But since the arrests, it has been able to evacuate only three children on private flights to American hospitals, according to Elizabeth Greig, the field hospital’s chief administrative officer, who has been in charge of trying to get the necessary Haitian and U.S. approvals. At least 10 other children have died or become worse while waiting to be airlifted out of the country, she said.

Before being permitted to evacuate the children, some doctors said they were now being asked by U.S. and Haitian officials for documents proving that the children were orphans or that the adult traveling with them was a parent — a challenging task considering that many residents’ birth certificates and other records remained buried under the rubble.

“They’re all at risk of dying, and none of these children should still be here in Haiti,” said Dr. Shayan Vyas, an American pediatrician changing an IV at the pediatric field hospital, which is based here at the Portau-Prince airport and handles

A baby is prepared for a medical evacuation Saturday in Port-auPrince. Since 10 Americans were arrested trying to take children out of Haiti, the number of such evacuations has fallen off sharply.

Scams hurt effort to feed Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United Nations said Monday that counterfeiters had begun printing fake tickets to gain access to free rice distributions, complicating giveaways meant for the hungriest Haitians.

David Orr, a spokesman for the World Food Program, said counterfeiters, active in Haiti even during ordinary times, had become more sophisticated since relief authorities began to distribute emergency food to those with special tickets. The ticket most of the private pediatric airlifts out of Haiti.

Other clinics here in Haiti have also conducted private evacuations, but they, too, are wrestling with the burden of proving that they are not illegally transporting children, according to those involved in the relief effort.

system was put in place last week to quell the sometimesviolent jockeying that took place during food giveaways in the first days after the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake.

A secondary market has developed for relief food, which is common in such disasters, as well as for the tickets that allow displaced people access to the food lines. On top of that, scam artists have tried to copy the tickets just as they used to reproduce currency, passports and other official documents before the quake hit.

PARIS — Iran told the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency on Monday that it would begin enriching its stockpile of uranium for use in a medical reactor, prompting officials from the United States, France and Russia to call for stronger sanctions against Tehran.

Late Monday in Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that it had received a letter from Iran declaring its intent to begin enriching uranium up to 20 percent. The agency’s statement gave no date for starting the enrichment, though Tehran said that might come as early as today.

Tehran’s decision elicited a sharp reaction in the West. In Paris, the visiting U.S. defense secretary, Robert Gates, said the Obama administration and its allies had done all they could to entice Iran to negotiate an end to its nuclear program.

“All of these initiatives have been rejected,” Gates said. While “we must still try and find a peaceful way to resolve this issue, “ he said, “the only path that is left to us at this point, it seems to me, is that pressure track.

But it will require all of the international community to

work together.”

Even in Russia, which along with China has consistently resisted sanctions against Iran, there were calls for stronger action against Tehran. Konstantin Kosachyov, the head of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of the Russian Parliament, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as urging the international community to prepare “serious measures.”

At issue is a proposal for Iran to send its uranium stockpile outside the country to be enriched and processed into fuel rods for use in the medical reactor.

WASHINGTON — Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a Vietnam veteran who staunchly supported military spending and became a master of pork-barrel politics, died Monday at Virginia Hospital Center. He was 77.

The 19-term lawmaker died from complications of gallbladder surgery.

Elected to Congress in 1974 from a southwestern Pennsylvania district that has been economically devastated by the decline of America’s coal-mining and steel industries, the gruff and jowly Murtha was beloved by his constituents for tapping billions of dollars in federal funds to seed new industries there.

He was revered among Democrats — and even some Republicans — for his skill in using the power of the federal purse to make kings and deals. A right-hand man of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., he was considered one of the most influential lawmakers on Capitol Hill and credited with her ascension.

Critics dubbed Murtha, the chairman of the powerful subcommittee that controls Pentagon spending, the “King of Pork” for the volume of taxpayer money he could direct to the area around his hometown of Johnstown. Most of the largesse came in defense and military research contracts he steered to companies based in his district or with small offices there.

The former Marine became a mentor to lawmakers trying to learn how to work Washington’s power levers but also a symbol of the controversial congressional “earmarking.” In that process, lawmakers can add federal funds to the budget to give no-bid contracts to pet projects and companies of their choosing. Murtha faced a drumbeat of questions about possible ethical conflicts in his earmarks, as executives and lobbyists for the firms receiving the earmarks were among his most generous campaign contributors.

Speed

The Challenger

Continued from A1 On Monday, however, the boats hardly moved at all, as inconsistent winds forced the postponement of the first race in the best-ofthree series on the Mediterranean.

The two teams will try again on Wednesday.

If the boats make it through the races relatively intact, it will be a testament to the skill of the sailors — and of the designers and engineers who spent several years building them, more or less on the fly as the two sides quarreled in court over the terms of the race.

“If we break it,” said Brad Butterworth, skipper of the Alinghi team, which is owned by the Swiss biotechnology mogul Ernesto Bertarelli, “it’ll be because of some failure of a fitting or a user mistake — something that we’ve done that’s put the boat in a compromising position where it couldn’t handle the loads.”

USA-17, the challenge boat for the 33rd America’s Cup, is a trimaran designed to support the largest wing sail ever built. At a height of 223 feet, the wing consists of a single fixed element and nine adjustable flaps.

WING FLAPS Each flap is more than two stories tall, and can be angled independently to adjust the overall curve of the wing.

Angling the wing increases lift, but airflow begins to separate from the top of the wing, which may lead to a stall at larger angles.

HULLS Race rules limit the boat’s length at the waterline to 90 feet.

The boat is 100 feet long over all and made of carbon composites.

Symmetrical airfoil Air flowing around a symmetrical airfoil or wing pointed into the wind generates no lift.

MAIN WING The main wing is fixed to the carbon fiber and Kevlar mast, which rotates to control the angle of the wing.

History of advances The America’s Cup has always been a showcase for innovation: the 1895 victor, Defender, for example, used aluminum, steel and bronze in the hull, an unheard-of combination at the time. And sailing in general, and high-level racing in particular, are no strangers to technology. But it has not been used at such an extreme scale before.

The most obvious advance can be seen rising above USA-17, which is owned by Lawrence Ellison, president of the software company Oracle. It looks as if someone wrenched a wing off a large jetliner and perched it, tip up, atop a trailer hitch on the boat’s middle hull.

Wing sails, as they are called, have been around for years, and one was even used to great advantage in the 1988 America’s Cup. But at 223 feet, this one is much bigger than others (and bigger, in fact, than any airplane wing) and more controllable, with nine adjustable flaps.

Like an airplane wing, it provides lift, although largely in a horizontal direction. And like an airplane wing, the slots between the main elements and the flaps add to the lifting power.

But the wing also solves a basic problem of sailing: how to take full advantage of the wind without overturning. The flaps can be adjusted to maximize lift on the wing’s lower end, generating a lot of power, and to reduce it up top, generating less heeling, or tipping, force.

“You can shift the center of the force up and down the wing very quickly,” said Russell Coutts, chief executive of BMW Oracle. “So when you’ve got too much power, then you can unload the top of the wing.”

The wing designers use the same principles, and much the same software, as airplane designers, said Mike Drummond, the

Sensors

AERODYNAMICS Airplane wings and USA-17’s wing are both airfoils, but the boat’s wing generates lift largely in a horizontal direction.

Angling the USA-17’s wing and flaps creates a cambered shape for powerful lift.

The slot between the wing and flaps helps reduce airflow separation, allowing the wing to generate more lift before stalling.

team’s design director. (One member of the team also does work for Boeing, though not on wings.)

“You have to understand the aerodynamic principles well and how to apply them,” Drummond said. “If you have the skills to design an airplane, you have the skills to design a yacht. Now we could have a good crack at a windmill.”

Load-shifting can be done with more traditional sails, too, by changing their shape, which is accomplished in part by having a flexible mast. But even with technology — one system uses image-recognition equipment to “read” lines on the sails to see if they match prescribed curvatures — shape-changing is difficult. It is easier with a solid wing.

Alinghi 5 uses traditional sails, but that is not to say it is any less innovative than BMW Oracle’s boat. It has a flexible mast, one that is nearly 200 feet tall, and some of

New York Times News Service

the biggest sails anywhere. Like most advanced racing sails, they are a sandwich of polyester film sheets with a filling of carbon fibers providing strength. The fibers are laid out in radial lines calculated to match the loads, and where the fibers come together in areas of maximum stress the sail has a distinct look, as if it has been dusted with ashes.

Alinghi is lighter than USA-17, and might be described as being a bit more tightly wound. On both boats, the rigging creates huge forces that tend to push the middle of the vessel upward. On USA-17, the middle hull serves as a beam to counteract those forces. On Alinghi 5, said Dirk Kramers, the team’s chief engineer, a delicate truss of struts and cables does the job.

Alinghi 5, like other racing boats, including BMW Oracle’s, has a system of sensors to monitor the stresses in real time. Each

Oregon agriculture sales fall almost 15 percent

of the sensors — 150 on Alinghi 5, in critical locations in all parts of the structure including the cables — consists of a single glass fiber that is laminated with the carbon as the boat is built. The fiber is internally reflective at specific points, so that when light is sent along the fiber, some of it bounces back to a detector. Differences in travel time mean the fiber, and thus the structural element, is being stretched or compressed. The data are displayed on screens in the boat’s cockpits and can be transmitted to engineers on shore.

Kramers said the data was initially useful in determining the actual stresses as the design became a reality. “With this boat, we were in such uncharted territory,” he said. “We felt we needed a very accurate way of finding out what the loads are.”

Now that the boat is in the water, Kramers said, the sensors are

more of an offensive tool because they tell the sailors just how far they can go. And if the data from one or more sensors exceed an established threshold, an alarm sounds.

Sailors being sailors, they like to push the boat as much as they can. Alinghi’s principal designer, Rolf Volijk, said there was one day when the alarm did not work, and the crew was very happy. “They said it was a perfect sailing day,” he said. The design team looked at the data back at the office, he said, “and we found all the alarm points where probably they felt very comfortable.”

Alarms or no, Butterworth, Alinghi’s skipper, said the crew had become accustomed to what it could and could not do. “When we first put it in the water, we were worried about the size of the job and the scope of the job,” he said. “Now it’s just another boat, really.”

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Oregon’s agricultural sales plunged almost 15 percent last year, pounded by a weak economy, low prices and oversupply, according to a report released Monday by Oregon State University.

The state’s farmers and ranchers grossed $4.1 billion in 2009, down 14.8 percent from 2008 — the biggest fall since at least 1976. Hardest hit were sales of small fruits and berries — down 41.5 percent — and grass and legume seeds.

“Ugly,” was the one-word assessment of Don Wirth, who has grown grass seed near Tangent for more than 40 years. “A year ago October our markets basically collapsed. For the next 8 months sales were really slim. We started fighting each other to see who could sell the cheapest.”

On the same day Oregon received its annual revenue forecast — one that painted a $180 million revenue shortfall and slow economic recovery — the report by OSU’s Extension Service showed that the state’s most valuable, diverse industry is hurting.

Only three of 12 broad commodity groups bucked the downward trend. Field crops, poultry products and vegetables and truck crops showed small sales increases.

“We’ve never had a down year like this,” said Larry Burt, the extension service economist who compiled the report. “We don’t expect it because we have a diverse agriculture. You don’t expect to see so many down.”

Until 2008, agricultural sales had shown five consecutive years of growth. They fell 0.2 percent that year.

Crops, which make up 70 percent of all agriculture sales, fell almost 17 percent last year, to $2.8 billion. The sale of livestock, dairy products and poultry fell 9.7 percent to $1.25 billion.

Wired Continued from A1 And those government figures do not take into account movies, music and television shows bought through iTunes, or the data plans that are increasingly mandatory for more sophisticated smart phones.

For many people, the subscriptions and services for entertainment and communications, which are more often now one and the same, have become indispensable necessities of life, on par with electricity, water and groceries. And for every new device, there seems to be yet another fee. Buyers of the soonto-be-released Apple iPad, to cite the latest example, can buy unlimited data access for $30 a month from AT&T even if they already have a data plan from the carrier.

“You don’t really lump these expenses into a discretionary category,” said Robert Frank, an economics professor at the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. “As the expectation of connectedness increases, it’s what is expected for people to be functional in society.”

Americans are transforming their homes into entertainment hubs, which is driving up the amount of money they spend, said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

“More people are creating experiences in their homes that are very similar to the kinds of public experiences they enjoy in movie theaters and concert halls,” he said. “Our homes are bristling with technology.”

IT’S BETTER TO REVIEW

YOUR ANNUITY THAN RETHINK YOUR RETIREMENT

.

If you own an annuity, it just makes sense to review it every now and then. That’s why we offer complimentary annuity reviews. Then you can make sure your annuity stays in sync with your goals. Plus, there may be features your current annuity simply doesn’t offer.

Stephanie Klein-Davis / New York Times News Service

So regardless of where you purchased your annuity, call your local financial advisor to schedule your complimentary review.

Sharon Rapoport and John Anderson look on as their teenage sons, Seth, 16, second from left, and Isaac, 14, play a video game in the basement of their home in Roanoke, Va. Anderson and Rapoport estimate they spend $400 a month feeding their various gadgets. To start with, there are $30-amonth data plans on their BlackBerry Tour cell phones, and, for their sons, two $50 subscriptions for Xbox Live and cell phone plans to handle the thousands of texts they send each month. paying $50 to $100 each time. But once you build and install that home system, its basically pennies per minute of enjoyment,” said James McQuivey, an analyst with Forrester Research.

But many do not take into consideration the long-term economic effect — both in the maintenance and operational costs — of the devices they purchase. “A subscription model is the perfect drug,” McQuivey said. “People see $15 per month as a very low amount of money but it quickly adds up.”

Kate Goodall, for example, a 32-year-old director of

fundraising for museums, in Alexandria, Va., said the high costs of home cable and other subscriptions began to eat into her budget. “We saw the writing on the wall in terms of the cost,” she said. “It was getting ridiculous.”

She and her husband disconnected their cable and home phone line so they could more easily afford frequent dinners out and swimming, ballet and art lessons for their two small sons. Instead, they catch shows like “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” free at Hulu.com and rely on their cell phones as their

primary phone lines.

Her husband, Mike Hughes, 37, a project manager, has both an Xbox and a Wii game console, but, in an effort to keep their bills down, she would not let him sign up for any gaming subscription services.

Goodall says she dreads the day when her sons, 1 and 4, get bitten by the texting craze, as her 12-year-old nephew has.

“We’ll probably have to sign our sons up for cell phones even sooner than we’d like because we don’t have a home phone,” she said. “I’m not looking forward to dealing with that set of issues.”

Lynette Nicks, 39, with her son Chad, 12, in their home in Redmond last week. Dozens of people donated a total of about $1,200 Monday to help Nicks, a cancer victim, pay her water bills. The city of Redmond also launched a utility assistance fund Monday to help people in need pay their water bills.

Water Continued from A1 “The response to my situation is obviously well under control,” Nicks said. “Now let’s help somebody else out. Everybody has a story.”

Nicks has been unable to work as she fought cancer for the last two years. In that time, she spent about $26,000 in savings and relied on friends and family to pay bills. Some doctors also forgave the portions of her bills that her health insurance did not cover.

Nicks hopes to return to work this summer and plans to donate money that she would have otherwise spent on utilities to Redmond’s new fund.

People can give to the utility fund, and one person donated $200 Monday, according to the city. Bend recently launched a utility assistance fund, which Redmond will look to for guidance, City Manager David Brandt said.

“We have to figure out who really needs it and who really doesn’t,” Brandt said.

The public’s response to Nicks’ situation impressed Brandt. But, like Nicks, he hopes that people will also contribute to the new fund.

Each month, about 100 Redmond customers lose water service because of unpaid bills.

Taxes Continued from A1 Nelson also says a bill he was working on was dropped in part because of the perception that Nelson’s involvement doomed it to failure.

“This was a campaign,” Nelson said. “We lost the campaign.

But (Hunt) seems to be just sort of hell-bent on making people who supported the ‘no’ side of the campaign pay.”

House leaders say the accusations are baseless.

In an interview Monday, Hunt admitted that he had advised several of Nelson’s clients that other lobbyists would be more effective.

And he said he has heard that other lawmakers have given similar advice about anti-tax advocates who also lobby.

However, he says he only gave advice when groups asked for it.

“I just try to give them my honest assessment of how I think the legislative process plays out,” he said.

He said he based his advice to Nelson’s clients, as well as other groups represented by anti-tax lobbyists, on the fact that if the “no” campaign succeeded, state funding sought by some of those clients would be cut.

‘Honest and straightforward’ “I think I have been pretty honest and straightforward with them that it is pretty challenging for them to be represented in a request for more general fund by someone who is trying to reduce the amount of general fund available.”

“Anytime you are represented by someone who is clearly hypocritical in (a funding) request, I think it is problematic for that client,” he said. “Just like you wouldn’t want an attorney representing you in court who had broken the law in a courtroom.”

But Nelson said the message has been different: “When you’re told ‘get rid of him or we’ll cut your budgets’ — that’s pretty tough.”

Nelson says Hunt and other lawmakers have contacted at least four or five of his clients, starting during the campaign. He said Hunt sent clients e-mails noting that Nelson was opposing the taxes they relied on for funding; Hunt then asked one client in a follow-

Bills are often paid quickly, allowing the city to turn more than half of those accounts back on the same day as the water is shut off.

The city assumes that many of the remaining accounts are at abandoned properties. Some customers, though, may need help paying their water bills, Brandt said.

“Hopefully we can get more people to give a little bit,” Brandt said. “It would be nice to build a fund. There may be other folks that didn’t get a news story on them.”

Mayor George Endicott said establishing a fund was part of the city’s responsibility to maintain order. A public health issue can arise when people do not have running water, he said.

The city already has a rate reduction program for low-income customers, but the utility fund will be a new way to help others pay bills, Endicott said.

The city must collect water payments, even from people who are in need, he said.

The new fund will help with that.

“As a city, you have a balance.

You feel really badly, but what do you do if you let one not pay?

What about the next?” said Endicott.

up e-mail, “Have you fired him yet?” Nelson said.

Hunt, through a spokesman, admitted sending e-mails noting Nelson’s role in opposing taxes, but denied sending an e-mail asking if Nelson’s client had fired him yet. “He’d like to see it,” said spokesman Geoff Sugerman.

Nelson declined to share the email, citing client confidentiality and saying there were limits on how far he wanted to go in discussing the situation.

It’s not just Nelson making the allegations. On Monday, a similar claim was made in a hearing about a bill that would give credit unions equal standing with banks in competing to be repositories for public funds. Banks were a key supporter of the opposition campaign, contributing $150,000.

Raymond Davis, the president and CEO of Umpqua Bank, faulted “political gamesmanship” and said that the bill, because it was introduced without notice or surprise, appeared to be payback.

People in Salem “have stated that this bill is being quickly brought to a vote in retribution to Oregon bankers taking a position against Measures 66 and 67.

I ask the question: Pay back for what? For standing up and voicing their opinion, for doing what they thought was right?”

Hunt, asked about the bill, defended it, saying he had long been interested in moving the bill if some state officials signed off on the bill’s language. That happened in just the last 10 days, he said, calling the notion that the bill is retribution “laughable.”

Nelson points to a bill he worked on, House Bill 3607, that was intended to help a group of clinical social workers he represents. The bill was dropped after several supporting groups, including the social workers, publicly said they wanted to hold off on it. Nelson says he was told the groups were told his involvement in the bill would be a problem.

Rep. Bill Kennemer, R-Oregon City, the bill’s sponsor, declined to specifically discuss the allegation, but conceded that part of the reason the bill didn’t move was that “politics took a nasty turn” in the Legislature.

Voice mail Nelson and several other lobbyists point to a voice mail that Jon

Continued from A1 Critics, writing in Britain’s Sunday Telegraph and elsewhere, have accused Pachauri of profiting from his work as an adviser to businesses, including Deutsche Bank and Pegasus Capital Advisors, a New York investment firm — a claim he denies.

They have also unearthed and publicized a series of problems with the intergovernmental panel’s landmark 2007 report on climate change, which concluded that the planet was warming and that humans were very likely to blame.

The report, they contend, misrepresents the state of scientific knowledge about diverse topics — including the rate of melting of Himalayan glaciers and the rise in severe storms — in a way that exaggerates the evidence for climate change.

With a global climate treaty under negotiation and domestic legislation pending in the United States, the climate panel has found itself in the political cross hairs, its judgments provoking passions normally reserved for issues like abortion and guns. Charged by the United Nations with reviewing research to create periodic reports on climate risks, documents that are often used by governments to guide decisions, the panel’s every conclusion is being dissected under a microscope.

Sorting truth from fiction A number of the recent accusations have proved to be half-truths: While Pachauri does act as a paid consultant and adviser to many companies, for example, he makes no money from these activities, he said. The payments go to the Energy and Resources Institute, the prestigious nonprofit research center based in Delhi that he founded in 1982 and still leads, where the money finances charitable projects like Lighting a Billion Lives, which provides solar lanterns in rural India.

“My conscience is clear,” Pachauri said in a telephone interview.

The panel, in reviewing complaints about possible er-

Chandler, a lobbyist for the Oregon Home Builders Association, received from House Majority Leader Mary Nolan, D-Portland.

Chandler, a leader in the opposition campaign against the tax measures, had written an Op-Ed in The Oregonian last July criticizing top Democrats. Two days later he received a voice mail.

According to a recording of the voice mail that is being circulated among lobbyists, Nolan said.

“Hey Chandler … I somehow managed to miss your retirement announcement. When did you decide you were going to drop out of the lobbying business? Let me know if there’s a farewell party; I certainly wouldn’t want to miss it. Stay in touch. Thanks.”

Many, like Nelson, viewed the voice mail as a threat. Asked about the recording, Nolan said it was meant in a “lighthearted spirit.” She, like Hunt, dismissed the notion of payback, and said that she and Chandler are friends.

Chandler, however, said he doesn’t know what to make of the voice mail. And he said he believes that there is a payback campaign afoot.

“It looks like there are retribution bills,” he said, adding that they were warned to expect them.

“I got it from a good source who heard it from a better source,” he said. “I can’t prove it.”

But he said there are bills being heard in the “emergency” special session that don’t seem to be an emergency, and “you don’t have to be too much of a paranoid to see a connection.”

Nelson said of the retribution allegations, “That kind of activity around the building, I’ve never seen it happen before, and doesn’t belong in the process.”

When there are disagreements, he said, “You move on because next week you’re working with them on another issue. It’s part of the process. I mean, they won the campaign. They need to get over it.”

Nolan, like Hunt, said it’s the anti-tax lobbyists who need to move on. “We have more important things to do than continuing to fight,” she said. “The election happened two weeks ago; I’m focusing on how we move forward.”

Federal climate service planned to provide data WASHINGTON — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will create a new climate change office to gather and provide data to governments, industry and academia as part of a broad federal effort to prepare for long-term changes to the planet, officials said Monday.

The new unit, to be known as the NOAA Climate Service, will assemble the roughly 550 scientists and analysts already working on the issue at the agency into a cohesive group under a single leader.

The climate service is designed to be analogous to the National Weather Service, also part of NOAA, which celebrates its 140th birthday this month. Officials said they hoped the reorganization would shore up the profile of government climate science and perhaps drive the creation of new businesses like those that repackage and sell weather and census data.

“By providing critical planning information that our businesses and our communities need, NOAA Climate Service will help tackle head-on the challenges of mitigating and adapting to climate change,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, whose department oversees the atmospheric agency, said in a statement.

“In the process, we’ll discover new technologies, build new businesses and create new jobs.”

rors in its report, has so far found that one was justified and another was “baseless.” The general consensus among mainstream scientists is that the errors are in any case minor and do not undermine the report’s conclusions.

Still, the escalating controversy has led even many of them to conclude that the Nobel-winning panel needs improved scientific standards as well as a policy about what kinds of other work its

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, February 9, 2010 A5 officers may pursue.

“When I look at Dr. Pachauri’s case I see obvious and egregious problems,” said Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist and professor of environmental science at the University of Colorado. He said that serving as an adviser to financial companies was inappropriate for the chairman of the United Nations’ panel, whether Pachauri received payment directly or not.

Firing back Pachauri bristles at the accusations against him, which he says are “lies” or “distortions” promulgated by groups hoping to undermine climate legislation and a treaty. “These people want to distort the picture for their own ends,” Pachauri said, noting that the report was released two years ago and that the criticisms were only now coming into the limelight.

“What we’re doing is not only above board, but laudable,” he said. “These guys want me to resign, but I won’t.”

Pachauri, 69, said the only work income he received was a salary from the Energy and Resources Institute: about $49,000, according to his 2009 Indian tax return, which he provided to The New York Times. The return also lists $16,000 in other income, most of it interest on accounts in Indian banks.

Pachauri acknowledged his role as an adviser and consultant to businesses, but he said that it was his responsibility as the panel’s chairman to disseminate its findings to industry.

Nonetheless, Christopher Monckton, a leading climate skeptic, called the panel corrupt, adding: “The chair is an Indian railroad engineer with very substantial direct and indirect financial vested interests in the matters covered in the climate panel’s report. What on earth is he doing there?”

A former adviser to Margaret Thatcher who also assailed Pachauri in a critique in Copenhagen that has since been widely circulated, Monckton now serves as the chief policy adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute, a Washington-based research and education institute that states on its Web site: “Proved: There is no climate crisis.”

As the accusations have snowballed in the last six weeks, Pachauri remains widely admired for his work on the intergovern-

mental panel, which relies on the collaborative work of hundreds of volunteer scientists to sift through current scientific evidence for its reports. He has served in an elected, unpaid position as chairman of the panel, often known by its initials, IPCC, since 2002.

“There is no evidence that outside interests affected Pachauri’s leadership of the IPCC at all,” said Hal Harvey, chief executive of ClimateWorks, a foundation based in San Francisco that focuses on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The panel’s process is so “robust and transparent” that it could not be undercut by “personalities or errors,” he said.

He added, “Anyone who is qualified to chair the IPCC will have interests in academics, science, politics or business; there are thousands of scientists on the IPCC, and you need their expertise and they all have to come from somewhere.”

Many government panels in the United States tolerate overt conflicts of interest in order to get expert advice, Harvey said, noting that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase on its board.

But most scientific agencies have explicit conflict-of-interest policies to ensure that expert advice is impartial. The Food and Drug Administration, for example, asks doctors who serve on drug advisory panels to disclose payments from pharmaceutical companies and can disqualify those whose financial involvement is too great.

Pielke said the U.N. panel, which has no explicit conflict policy, should do the same, adding, “You need to make sure that advice is advice and not stealth advocacy.”

The accusations of errors in the panel’s report — most originating from two right-leaning British papers, The Sunday Telegraph and The Times of London — have sullied the group’s reputation. They follow a controversy that erupted late last year over e-mail messages and documents released without authorization from a climate research center in Britain.

In one case, the report included a sentence that said that the Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035. The sentence was based on a decade-old interview with a glaciologist in a popular magazine; the scientist now says that he was misquoted. The panel recently expressed “regret” for the error.

LOS ANGELES — Women who give birth after age 40 are nearly twice as likely to have a child with autism as those younger than 25, but it is unlikely that delayed parenthood plays a big role in the current autism epidemic, California researchers reported Monday.

The findings were expected to draw widespread attention because of the intense public interest in autism, but their true impact was expected to be simply in suggesting further avenues of research.

Surprisingly, the age of the father plays little role in the likelihood of the disorder unless the mother is younger than 30 and the father is older than 40, according to the analysis of all births in California in the 1990s.

The number of women older than 40 in California giving birth increased by 300 percent in the 1990s, while the diagnosis of autism increased by 600 percent.

At first glance, it might seem that the rise in older pregnancies

could be responsible for the rise in autism, which is now thought to affect as many as 1 child in every 100. But the authors of the paper, from the University of California, Davis, calculate that older mothers account for less than 5 percent of the increase in autism diagnoses.

“There is a long history of blaming parents” for the development of autism, said senior author Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto, a professor of public health sciences and a researcher at the UC Davis MIND Institute who has been researching potential causes for the autism increase.

“We’re not saying this is the fault of mothers or fathers.

We’re just saying this is a correlation that will direct research in the future.”

Researchers have long known that the age of the parents plays a role in a child’s risk of developing autism, but how big a role and how that role varies with the sex of the parent has remained confusing, with contradictory results reported in different studies.

KIEV, Ukraine — The apparent victory of Russia’s preferred candidate in the Ukrainian presidential race may be a relief to Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to discredit his neighbor’s raucous democracy and its drift to the West.

But it comes with a catch: The election won by the candidate, Viktor F. Yanukovich, was highly competitive, unpredictable and relatively fair — just the kind of major contest that has

Shuttle blasts off in what’s likely its final night launch New York Times News Service KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — The space shuttle Endeavour thundered into orbit before dawn Monday morning, briefly turning darkness into daylight.

It was the second effort to get the Endeavour off the ground, 24 hours after clouds over the launching pad scrubbed Sunday’s attempt.

Clouds again encroached, but there were enough holes to allow the Endeavour to lift off on schedule at 4:14 a.m., a bright streak rising to the northeast along the East Coast. It was the 130th launching of a shuttle and

probably the final night launching as the program winds down and ends after four more flights.

“What a beautiful launch we had this morning,” William Gerstenmaier, NASA’s associate administrator for space operations, said in a news conference.

The Endeavour is carrying the last major piece of the International Space Station. Two of the shuttle’s crew members, Nicholas J.M. Patrick and Lt. Col. Robert L. Behnken of the Air Force, will conduct three spacewalks to install a 23-foot-long, 15-footwide Tranquility module.

N B Criminal investigation in power plant blast

Plan unveiled to battle Asian carp

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Authorities launched a criminal investigation Monday into the cause of an explosion that killed five people at a power plant under construction, saying they couldn’t rule out negligence.

“If everything went right, we wouldn’t all be here right now,” Middletown Mayor Sebastian Giuliano said. “There’s a point where negligence raises to the level of criminal conduct, and that’s what we’re investigating.”

The powerful explosion blew apart large swaths of the nearly completed 620-megawatt Kleen Energy plant as workers for the construction company, O&G Industries Inc., were purging a gas line Sunday. The blast tore apart sheet metal that covered the plant’s sides and left parts of the complex so unstable that rescuers were unable to work Monday because of the danger of collapse.

The mayor said rescue crews had been unable to get to all areas of the plant and he could not say for certain that no more victims would be found.

WASHINGTON — After a White House meeting christened the “carp summit,” federal and state officials on Monday announced a multi-pronged attack with a $78.5 million price tag to prevent Asian carp, an invasive species, from establishing populations in Lake Michigan.

Nancy Sutley, the president’s top environmental adviser, led the meeting at the request of the governors of Michigan and Wisconsin, who were on hand.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois was scheduled to attend, but canceled his travel plans because of the winter weather and planned to take part by teleconference, said Marlena Jentz, a spokeswoman.

Officials on Monday unveiled an Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework, which they characterized as “aggressive” and “unparalleled.” It features more than 25 short-term and long-term actions funded by major spending, some of which officials said already is in the pipeline.

CAMP SHORABAK, Afghanistan — Thousands of Afghan soldiers and police will join U.S. and NATO troops in an upcoming offensive in southern Afghanistan, playing their biggest role in any joint operation of the Afghan war.

The pending attack on the Taliban-held town of Marjah in Helmand province will be a crucial test for the NATO strategy of transferring more responsibility to the Afghans so foreign troops can go home.

Exact numbers of NATO and Afghan troops earmarked for the assault on Marjah have not been disclosed for security reasons. However, U.S. and Afghan officers said the percentage of Afghan soldiers and police will be far greater than the 10-to-one ratio of Americans to Afghans

during the last major offensive in Helmand province last summer.

Whatever the real figures, NATO and Afghan officials are going out of their way to promote the attack on Marjah as an Afghan-led joint operation. The offensive is called “Operation Moshtarak,” a Dari language word for together or joint.

Last week, the Afghan and U.S. Marine commanders joked around in front of cameras to promote an image of camaraderie, with the Afghan grabbing the Marine general’s hat and trading it for his black beret.

“They’re fighting the war shoulder-to-shoulder with us,” Brig. Gen. Larry Nicholson, the top Marine commander in Afghanistan, said of the Afghans.

“Wherever you see a Marine, you’ll see an Afghan. This isn’t fluff, this isn’t talk, this is the real deal.”

NEW DELHI — The retired general who sought unsuccessfully to defeat his one-time ally in Sri Lanka’s presidential election last month was arrested late Monday by the military police, raising concern that the country was veering into political vengeance and autocracy after having barely emerged from a quarter-century of war.

The arrested retired general, Sarath Fonseka, who lost the election to Mahinda Rajapaksa by 17 percentage points, was taken into custody by dozens of military police officers at his office, where he was meeting with several parliament members to discuss coming legislative elections, said Mano Ganesan, a member of parliament who was present at the meeting.

“They arrested him and carried him out like a dog,” Ganesan said in a telephone interview.

Pakistan retakes key town from Taliban ISLAMABAD — The Pakistani military has retaken the key town of Damadola, in the Bajaur area of the tribal belt, where the army has been fighting Taliban militants for more than a year, military and local officials said Monday.

But Taliban leaders allied to al-Qaida, including Faqir Muhammad, a senior member of the Pakistani Taliban, escaped over the border into Afghanistan, and the town was virtually empty when the military took control over the weekend, said Abdul Malik, a local government official.

The town was captured more than 18 months after the army opened a major offensive in Bajaur in August 2008, the army’s first major campaign against the Pakistani Taliban.

After three months of fierce fighting, government troops controlled only a small sliver of the area, which borders Kunar province in Afghanistan.

not been held in Russia since Putin, the prime minister, consolidated power.

On Monday, for example, European election monitors praised Sunday’s election, calling it an “impressive display” of democracy.

The official tally released Monday showed that the opposition leader, Yanukovich, defeated Prime Minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko by 3 percentage points, giving him a comeback from his loss in the 2004 Orange Revolution.

Tymoshenko helped spearhead the Orange Revolution, which first brought Westernstyle democracy to Ukraine. That the country carried out a contentious presidential election widely considered fair suggests that the Orange legacy has endured.

The Ukrainian model may have particular resonance now with recent rumblings of discontent in Russia. Late last month, antigovernment demonstrations in Kaliningrad, a region in western Russia physically separate from the rest of the country,

drew thousands of people and seemed to catch the Kremlin off guard. Some protesters chanted for Putin’s resignation, complaining about higher taxes and an economy weakened by the financial crisis.

Kiev was calm on Monday, and there was no indication that the mass street protests that broke out with the Orange Revolution would occur this week.

Tymoshenko refused to concede the race, despite appeals for her to do so by Yanukovich and European election monitors.

New SEC-BofA settlement faulted NEW YORK — A federal judge who rejected the government’s first bid to settle civil charges against Bank of America Corp. showed little enthusiasm Monday for a new proposed settlement.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff sharply questioned the merits of the latest proposal, which calls for the company to pay $150 million to resolve allegations that it lied to shareholders at the height of the financial crisis about its pending acquisition of brokerage Merrill Lynch.

Last fall, Rakoff threw out an initial, $33 million settlement between the company and the Securities and Exchange Commission, calling it a “contrivance designed to provide the SEC with the facade of enforcement.”

A year ago, Bend solar-power startup AC Solar Technology did not even exist.

Last week, CEO Glenn Harris presented his company’s product, a solar module, to industry representatives from the United States, France and Switzerland at a startup conference in San Francisco.

And this week, AC Solar Technology expects to receive its ETL Listed Mark, which shows the modules meet Underwriters Laboratory safety standards, and which will allow the company to start production.

AC Solar Technology’s Blue Leaf 210W AC module, which is essentially a small

EXECUTIVE FILE solar electrical system, has the potential to open up the solar market to small commercial and residential users, Harris said.

It simplifies solar power installation.

Photovoltaic systems produce DC, or direct current. Most electrical appliances in a home use AC, or alternating current.

So most solar systems need wires that lead from the solar panels to an inverter, which converts direct current into alternating current. The wires continue from the inverter to the building’s electrical system.

The Blue Leaf module essentially removes the direct current portion. It has no DC wiring or com-

ponents and uses AC from the modules to the power grid, according to a company news release. It has a single AC line leading from the inverter on the back panel. It’s like an extension cord, Harris said.

“We think the market is going to like a little 200 watt solar system,” he said.

“That’s not something that’s been done before.”

WASHINGTON — Bernard Madoff haunts these corridors like the He-Who-Must-Not-BeNamed of Wall Street.

In the headquarters of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Madoff’s name is rarely spoken. More than seven months after he was sentenced to prison for orchestrating a global Ponzi scheme, shaken SEC employees are still struggling to come to grips with how they failed to catch him before it was too late.

Many here refer to the scandal — a $65 billion fraud that, despite several red flags, went undetected by the SEC for more than two decades — as “the event” or “the incident.”

It is the job of Robert Khuzami, the SEC head of enforcement, to unmask the next Madoff — and, equally daunting, to convince skeptics that the commission can reassert it-

self and adequately police Wall Street.

Since arriving at the SEC a year ago this month, just as the Madoff scandal was grabbing headlines, Khuzami has cut red tape, created specialized teams to plumb hedge funds and other worrisome areas and tried to make the SEC quicker and more nimble.

Unlike some at the commission, Khuzami, 53, talks openly about the Madoff fiasco. “For a group of people committed to investor protection and prevention, the tragedy of investors’ losses are not lost on anyone,” he said in an interview in his bright, corner office in Washington.

While Mary Schapiro, the chairwoman, is the public face of the commission, Khuzami and his lieutenants are the cops on the beat.

Their first challenge is to shake off the psychic blow of the Madoff affair.

Stocks dip below 10,000 benchmark The Dow Jones industrial average, a closely watched barometer of the economy’s health, dipped below the 10,000 threshold on Monday, delivering a psychological setback as investors braced for more market volatility.

When the final bell sounded, the Dow had fallen to 9,908.39 — its lowest level in three months — as lingering fears over a debt crisis in Europe undermined confidence in American financial institutions.

Analysts played down the significance of the Dow’s tumble below the five-digit mark. But they did not deny the broader message it underscored: that the energy of last year’s rally seems to have fizzled as the market comes to terms with the reality of an uneven recovery.

As with most technological advances, the hype seems to have taken over the conversation when it comes to 3-D TV technologies. Thus far, consumers like Skidmore aren’t waiting for new and better 3-D sets to come along and instead

are going for deals found online and at big retailers like Best Buy and Walmart.

But when 3-D TVs do become available in the next few months, should you invest in one? Let’s look at some of the common questions most consumers have when it comes to viewing in three dimensions.

NEW YORK — Small businesses are becoming the Achilles heel of the U.S. recovery by limiting growth and job creation.

Companies with fewer than 500 employees, such as Phoenix Technologies Ltd. and Sonic Corp., helped lead the economy out of the four recessions since 1980. This time, they continue to cut capital spending and dismiss workers, eliminating 3,000 jobs in January, according to Roseland, N.J.-based Automatic Data Processing, the world’s largest payroll processor.

Improvement in the unemployment rate, which fell to 9.7 in January from 10 percent in December, may stall later this year if these firms aren’t hiring, and growth likely won’t meet the median 2.7 percent annual rate forecast for 2010 by 67 economists in a Bloomberg News survey last month.

“Will you have a sustainable recovery a few years down the road without getting some small-business spending? No,” said Cary Leahey, senior managing director at Decision Economics in New York and a former White House economist. “Wall Street gets it.”

The Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks has risen 4 percent in the past six months, lagging behind a 6 percent increase in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Coming out of previous recessions, shares of companies with market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion generally led markets higher.

The Russell Index gained 17 percent in the six months following the end of the 2001 recession, compared with 0.2 percent for the S&P 500.

The U.S. economy expanded at a 5.7 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the fastest pace in six years, after a 2.2 percent increase in the third quarter.

Qubits sales take off after Bend man’s ‘Shark Tank’ appearance

By David Holley The Bulletin

Three days after Central Oregonian Mark Burginger appeared on the ABC reality show “Shark Tank” to seek investment for his engineering toy, Qubits, the toy’s sales have taken off and his business’s Web site has been swamped with visitors, Burginger said Monday.

Burginger said he had sold about 150 kits of Qubits construction toys since the show aired Friday evening. If sales keep that pace for the next few weeks, Burginger said he could soon surpass his total sales since he first started selling the toy in November 2007. The 96-piece junior kit sells for $29.95 and the 330-piece jumbo kit sells for $79.95.

“When you get some exposure, you’ve got a chance,” Burginger said. “I’ve sold my parents and family as many Qubits as they can take.”

Although four of the five investors — known on the show as “sharks” — passed on the chance to buy a 51 percent share of Burginger’s company, Daymond John, founder of the FUBU clothing line, bought in for $90,000, with conditions.

Qubits

people had logged on to his site in the last 10 to 12 hours.

Also, Burginger said he has received calls from large toy companies and stores about Qubits.

He said he has had multiple conversations with John, who agreed to invest in Qubits if Burginger agreed to work a deal with any of the top four U.S. toy companies. Although he said he could not share details of his work with John, Burginger said they continue to share information as they each gather it.

“We are getting extremely good PR,” Burginger said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Continued from B1 “Shark Tank” lets inventors, such as Burginger, pitch products to a group of five investors in hopes that at least one will pay cash for a share of the inventor’s company. Burginger appeared on the final episode of Season 1.

Since the show aired, Burginger’s Web site, www.qubits.com, has been inundated with hits. He said the site was built to load in a half-second. Instead, the 4,500 people who were visiting it each hour had slowed the loading speed to 2½ minutes.

That high visitor count has continued. On Monday morning, Burginger said about 5,700

SEC

Khuzami recognizes that the cases the SEC brings, or does not bring, will define his tenure and, possibly, the future of the commission. “It’s all about the cases in the end,” he said.

Team Khuzami hardly comes across as the Untouchables, but members say they are energized and up to the job.

Kenneth Lench, head of the structured products group, is a soft-spoken lawyer. In his new position, he is trying to become an expert in an arcane corner of Wall Street. He totes heavy textbooks on securitization law and says he now reads trade publications like Derivatives Week, the bible of the market in financial derivatives. He also attended an industry conference last month with 10 other SEC lawyers.

“It is a real challenge to keep up with the street in developing these products,” Lench said. He said he hoped to recruit people from Wall Street, and to acquire technology that would put the SEC on a more equal footing with the industry.

Daniel Hawke, head of the market abuse unit, is also looking for outside talent. He said he recently received an e-mail message that read: “I know where the bodies are buried. I’ve been on the Street for 20 years.”

It is too soon to know whether the announcements will lead to the revitalization of an institution viewed for a long time as captive to the industry it regulated.

Joel Seligman, an SEC historian, said it needs two things to turn itself around: a sustained period of serious enforcement and several structural repairs, the most important of which is becoming self-financed through some form of fees or penalties so it is no longer hostage to congressional budget masters.

Continued from B1 Not since the 1950s, when budget cuts and deregulation defanged the commission, have its stature and influence sunk so low. Khuzami, a straight-talking former federal prosecutor and Wall Street executive, says he wants to infuse the SEC with the ethos of a startup company, making it faster, more proactive and even a bit entrepreneurial.

The practical challenges are formidable. Wall Street vastly outdoes the SEC in terms of people, money and, many in the financial industry argue, talent. The administration has requested a budget of $1.3 billion for the SEC for 2011. Hedge fund stars can make that in a year.

Big banks usually pull in the equivalent in revenue in a single week.

At the heart of Khuzami’s effort is the commission’s new Office of Market Intelligence, a clearing house for the tips and referrals that stream into the SEC The head of that unit is Thomas Sporkin, son of Stanley Sporkin, the outspoken retired federal judge who earned national recognition in the 1970s for his investigations of corporate malfeasance as director of enforcement at the commission.

The SEC also has established five investigative units, hoping to transform some of its many generalists into specialists.

The SEC has been criticized for meting out relatively light punishments in some recent cases. The commission also has not satisfied critics on Capitol Hill — and many ordinary Americans — who had hoped to see charges leveled at banking executives after the financial collapse.

AC Solar

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, February 9, 2010 B3

The basics What: AC Solar Technology Where: 61535 S. U.S. Highway 97, Suite 9-183, Bend Employees: Four Phone: 888-293-5659, ext. 111 E-mail: info@acsolartech.com Web site: www.acsolartech.com/

Continued from B1 Removing the DC part of the equation also simplifies installation for electricians, he said.

Costs for solar electric systems can vary, depending on the size, the system rating, installer and other factors, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

On average, the costs run $8 to $10 per watt, before rebates or tax credits.

Harris estimates a Blue Leaf module, which measures about 5 feet by 3 feet, will cost $5 per watt installed, or about $1,500, after rebates and credits.

Before his work with AC Solar Technology, Harris worked for Bend-based PV Powered, which makes inverters, both as its president and also a consultant. He also served as CEO of SunCentric, a Grants Pass company that provides a variety of services for solar power firms.

Harris does not believe AC Solar will compete with PV Powered, at least not directly.

PV Powered does not make small-sized inverters or modules, he said.

Founded in the middle of

last year, Harris said AC Solar Technology does not have a real office.

But it’s looking to get one.

With its certification in hand, the company will be able to start manufacturing, first at a temporary location, he said. AC Solar, which expects to employ about 150 workers by the end of its third year, also has been seeking a permanent site, but Harris said he’s not optimistic it will be in Oregon.

The climate in the state has become uncertain with the debate over the Business Energy Tax Credit, sparked after its estimated $4 million cost expanded to $167 million in lost revenues .

Harris understands, he said, how that leaves lawmakers to make tough decisions, balanc-

3-D

A:

Continued from B1 Do I still have to use those dumb blue-and-red glasses?

No. Those glasses are used in something called anaglyphic 3-D. They use two colors — red and blue (sometimes green) — to create two different “views” of an image. Popular in the 1950s and 1960s, they are going the way of the dodo. Now you have to use newer, sleeker dumb glasses.

Q: A:

Q: A:

Can I just keep the glasses I used when I watched “Avatar” and “Up” in the theater?

Technically you should be able to — those are passive 3-D glasses and they use a system of polarization that splits the image on screen into two separate images. This is fine for a large room when everyone is seated in front of the screen. But 3-D TV manufacturers can’t tell what your room will look like and, more important, don’t want to sell 3-D glasses for a few pennies when they can sell fancier, “active” glasses for $70.

Q:

Active? $70? What’s so special?

Active glasses allow light to reach only one eye at a time. As you watch the video, the display syncs up with the glasses and begins flashing one side of the image, then the other, on the screen. This also allows you to walk around the room and still get a fairly good 3-D effect.

Q: A:

So how cool is it, really?

Be honest.

If you’ve attended any major trade shows this year, set makers from Sony to Philips would have bombarded you with pitches to check out their 3-D TVs. Arguably seeing an “Avatar” trailer on a 3-D TV was cool the first time, but the bloom was off the rose quickly.

With the right content, it’s great, but it’s doubtful many will be excited by “My Dinner With Andre” in 3-D.

Q: A:

Can they make 2-D movies into 3-D movies?

They can, but see above.

To turn a 2-D movie into 3-D, artists have to trace the outline of the various layers in the film. For example, a character moving in front of a stand of trees would have to be “popped out” from the background and a computer would then generate a 3-D image by interpolating

ing the state’s need for tax revenue with its desire to encourage renewable energy.

Other criteria also factor into the decision on where to locate, Harris said, not just government incentives. Along with Oregon, he said, other states in the running are Arizona, Delaware and Michigan.

Arizona, with its abundant sunshine, major population centers and transportation infrastructure, is attractive, Harris said. In one morning in Phoenix, he saw about 10 buildings and 1 million square feet of real estate.

“Some of the other states are chomping at the bit,” he said.

Harris expanded on his company’s product and market in an interview with The Bulletin.

Q: A:

What makes your product different?

The new technology is the box on the back. It takes the DC power right at the back and turns it into … AC. You could put one on your back fence. … You could put one on your roof and wire it right into a 110 (volt line). It’s just three regular wires going into your fuse box. You could walk into Costco

the very small amount of background that should appear “behind” the character. It’s almost not worth the effort for older movies.

The assumption is that future action movies will almost all be filmed in 3-D, and companies like Imax are already planning camcorders with two lenses (required for 3-D recording) for home use.

Home movies in 3-D! Absolutely.

Q: A:

So if I wanted to take the plunge, what would I

need?

To watch 3-D TV, you have to have a 3-D-capable home entertainment center (for example, a 3-D TV and a 3D Blu-ray player). The process of sending 3-D video to the TV involves decoding and sending two separate pictures, a left and a right view of every frame in the movie or broadcast, to the TV every 1/120th of a second.

To do this, the refresh rate of the television has to be fast enough to keep up with the image. The ordinary TV has a refresh rate of 120 hertz while newer “3-D-capable” TVs have a refresh rate of 200 hertz or more. A “3-D capable” TV, by the way, still requires an infrared transmitter to tell the active

and buy this thing. Basically, you enable everybody.

Q: A:

Where does it fit within the solar power market.

(It has the) potential to open up lots of different markets. Our interest is expanding the residential market. (It’s a) market expansion device.

Q: A:

Where is AC Solar Technology located presently?

We don’t have official offices at the moment. We’re looking for a place to call home.

It’s time to put the stake in the ground. We’re going to build the modules. I think we’re pretty well ready to start manufacturing. The question will be where.

Q: A:

What are the considerations?

It’s really not a competition, per se. It’s not like they walk in and hand you a check and say thanks for being here. It really comes down to: Is it a great place to build? How’s the transportation system?

What the state does is icing on the cake.

glasses when to polarize, so there’s an extra cost.

Want to know a dirty secret?

Most older 120 hertz televisions can display 3-D content just fine.

However, television makers are requiring a complete upgrade because of various improvements to Blu-ray technology, as well as built-in infrared emitters necessary to drive their proprietary active shutter glasses.

More important, they want you to go out and buy a new TV. You’ll also need a 3-D compatible Blu-ray player or, barring that, a digital tuner to bring in broadcast 3-D TV from ESPN and Discovery, which will be doing limited broadcasts in 3-D. If you have a Sony PlayStation 3, you’ll be able to upgrade your console’s software to play 3-D Blu-ray discs — and the upgrade is free.

Q: A:

When will I be able to watch 3-D TV without the silly glasses?

Presumably this will happen after 3-D becomes ubiquitous and manufacturers are forced to sell their inventory of 3-D TVs. Maybe 2020?

After all, by then they’ll have to look for another cash cow.

Remember the consumer electronics motto: ABO — always be obsolescing.

China fund discloses BPA expects $9.6 billion in shares light snowfall will result in in U.S. companies

By David Barboza and Ketih Bradsher New York Times News Service

SHANGHAI — China’s sovereign wealth fund quietly bought more than $9 billion worth of shares last year in some of the biggest American corporations, including Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Citigroup.

Although most of the stakes were small, the China Investment Corp., the government’s $300 billion investment fund, now owns stock in some of the best-known American brands, including Apple, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Motorola

Jobs Continued from B1 Growth may be difficult to sustain if smaller firms continue to pare spending and staff.

“It suggests that a V-shaped economic rebound is even more unlikely than suggested by many standard economic indicators,” said Andrew Tilton, an economist at Goldman Sachs in New York, which sees gross domestic product growing 2.3 percent this year.

The National Federation of Independent Business’ index of small-business optimism has been near historic lows for 15 consecutive months, declining to 88 in December from 88.3 in November, the federation reported last month. During the four prior recessions, it dipped below 90 only once.

“It has been a very difficult year, and 2009 did not end on an uplifting note,” William

and Visa.

The detailed list, which contained holdings totaling $9.6 billion as of Dec. 31, was disclosed Friday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission; it lists stakes only in companies traded in the United States.

The filing offers a glimpse of how China is trying to diversify its more than $2 trillion in foreign currency holdings with stock, rather than investing almost entirely in U.S. Treasury bonds and other debt securities issued by governments and by government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae.

Dunkelberg, chief economist for the federation in Philadelphia, said in the report. “Optimism has clearly stalled, in spite of the improvements in the economy.”

Twenty-two percent of the group’s members reduced employment in December, while 10 percent added workers. The federation is to release its January data today.

Because few economic reports capture small-business statistics, some economists say investors are being misled about the strength of recovery from the longest, deepest recession since the Great Depression.

Recent numbers suggest “the official data are too heavily weighted towards bigger companies, which are doing better than credit-constrained smaller firms,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, N.Y. “The latter employ half the work force.”

a $6M loss

By William McCall The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The winter forecast for the Bonneville Power Administration is for light snow and possibly even lighter revenue.

The federal power marketing agency on Monday cut its revenue forecast for the fiscal year by about $240 million — from nearly $232 million in net revenue by the end of the year to a $6 million loss.

Bonneville says El Niño ocean warming likely will result in a dry winter and light mountain snowpack that will reduce spring runoff to feed the rivers that power Northwest hydroelectric dams.

Officials say it is too early to tell whether the dry forecast will affect rates. But they are comfortable in predicting there will be no repeat of 2001, when a low runoff combined with power shortages, deregulation and energy market manipulation by the defunct Enron Corp. were blamed for an energy crisis across the West.

The economic landscape for 2010 is also different from 2001 because the current recession has cut industrial demand for electricity at a time when energy prices are relatively low, said Bob Jenks, executive director of the Citizen’s Utility Board of Oregon.

Sean Loftus got out his graph paper and ruler Monday night to illustrate the conflicts between bicyclists and drivers on Skyliners Road.

The Skyliners Road resident drew a diagram of the road to scale during a Deschutes County Commission hearing on whether to restrict sports events on the road. First, Loftus placed the outline of a scaled down Subaru on the road.

“As you can see, a Subaru is over the center line to pass a cyclist on the shoulder,” Loftus said.

When he placed drawings of his wife’s Suburban and his tow truck on the road, they had to go even further over the center line to give cyclists adequate space.

Vehicles crossing into the opposite lane to pass cyclists, combined with the many curves on the road, create the danger of a head-on collision, Loftus said.

“I’m terrified that I’m going to hurt somebody,” Loftus said.

“This is a life and death issue for those of us who live on Skyliners Road.”

Loftus was one of about 30 people who attended a public hearing Monday night on whether to restrict events on the road to two days each and charge a special $100 fee to pay for sheriff’s deputies to attend the events.

The hearing occurred after residents who live along Skyliners Road raised concerns about safety issues that result from bicyclists and vehicles sharing the narrow, winding and deteriorating road.

AT&T scraps planned tower But company says its decision won’t affect plans for 3G network

AT&T’s last-minute decision Monday to withdraw an application for a cell tower east of Sisters will not impede the company’s plan to roll out faster coverage in Central Oregon in the first half of 2010, a spokeswoman said.

“The plan has certainly been in place for a long time to bring 3G to the area,” said AT&T spokeswoman Colleen Smith. “The tower at that site is only one of many that will bring 3G to the area.”

AT&T is in the midst of upgrading its network from EDGE to 3G in Central Oregon, and 3G is already available in some areas, Smith said. 3G allows cell phone users to download data approximately twice as fast as the EDGE network, and other providers, including Verizon and T-Mobile, already have 3G service in the Bend and Redmond area.

Smith said AT&T is not disclosing any details of why it withdrew this application or whether it will reapply for the same location or different locations.

AT&T withdrew its application to install a controversial 80-foot cell tower on a hill east of Sisters, 45 minutes before a public hearing scheduled on the issue Monday morning.

A county land use official denied AT&T’s application to build the cell tower disguised as a pine tree, a structure known as a monopine, on Bradley Butte in December.

‘Major step’ in switch to charter for Powell Butte

The Bulletin

A bank robbery suspect who died Sunday of self-inflicted injuries sustained at the Deschutes County jail was the owner of a painting business who had moved to Redmond days before he allegedly walked into Sterling Savings Bank and demanded money.

Donovan Donovan Joel Joel Haskin, Haskin 40, died in the intensive care unit at St. Charles Bend, four days after he attempted suicide in jail. He was arrested Jan. 29 on charges of first- and second-degree theft, second-degree robbery, first-degree theft by receiving, menacing, coercion, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine, and was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton said Monday that he could not disclose any specifics about Haskin’s actions in jail or the cause of death. Blanton also declined to say if Haskin had been placed on suicide watch at any time while he was in custody. He said his office and the Bend Police Department are investigating Haskin’s death and should have a report ready for District Attorney Mike Dugan by next week.

PRINEVILLE — The Crook County School District voted unanimously Monday night to grant Powell Butte Elementary School a charter.

“It’s another step in the process,” said Lynn Lundquist, a member of the charter school development team. “It’s a major step, obviously. But the process isn’t complete.”

For the past year, a group of Powell Butte community members have been working to develop plans to convert the elementary school into a charter school. They have received about $500,000 from the Oregon Department of Education to help establish the school. The Crook County School District decided last month to close the school next year due to a projected budget shortfall that could be as high as $700,000, according to Superintendent Ivan Hernandez. The granting of the charter is conditional on negotiations between the district and charter development team slated to start this week.

The school, community members have said, is the anchor of the small ranching community.

A place where their children receive a high-quality education.

The charter is the school’s only chance for survival.

Now, the district and charter school development group need to negotiate the details. Those behind the charter school would like to stay in the building, west of Prineville, that the district owns.

State law requires children in public and private schools as well as Head Start and certified child care facilities to have upto-date immunizations or religious or medical exemptions.

Those without proper immunizations will receive a letter warning of the missing shots, but students will not be allowed into school until the immunizations are updated. Last year, 4,667 students were kept out of school and child care around the state because of missing immunizations.

Parents who need immunizations for their children should call their health care providers or local health departments or call Oregon SafeNet at 800-723-3638. For more information on school immunizations, go to www.oregon .gov/DHS/ph/imm/school.

Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Bend man Sunday afternoon after the man was found sitting in his car near the Sheriff’s Office.

A marine deputy on his way back to the Sheriff’s Office spotted Jesse Wychules, 29, in his car in the parking lot of the Federal Express office on Jamison Street in northeast Bend, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy noticed that the vehicle, a 2005 Volvo, had substantial front-end damage and stopped to check on the driver.

Officials determined that Wychules had hit a concrete retaining wall and light pole at the entrance of the parking lot. Wychules, who was found to have a blood alcohol content of .31 percent, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and lodged in the Deschutes County Jail.

Woman pleads guilty to killing boyfriend A Madras woman pleaded guilty Monday to fatally stabbing her 20-year-old boyfriend with a kitchen knife.

Cynthia Pacheco was 19 when she got into an argument with Manuel Lupercio around 1:15 a.m. on July 15, 2008. Both had been drinking and authorities believe they lived together in the 600 block of Southeast Buff Street, east of Buff Elementary School, at the time of the stabbing. Pacheco called 911 immediately after the stabbing, according to Jefferson County District Attorney Steven Leriche, and admitted to the crime.

Leriche said Pacheco was evaluated by a psychologist and was a good candidate for future rehabilitation. She will be formally sentenced on Feb. 19 at 1 p.m. at the Jefferson County Circuit Court on a charge of criminally negligent homicide but agreed to five years in prison with no early release under a plea deal.

Pacheco worked for the Cafe Program, a federally funded after-school program with the Jefferson County School District. At the time of his death, Lupercio was believed to be unemployed.

Leriche said Pacheco showed remorse and admitted to the elements of the crime, but said she didn’t expect the results. “She talked about how it happened,� Leriche said. “She swung a knife, and she essentially said she didn’t expect for it to actually strike him. But it did.�

The knife went through Lupercio’s chest, piercing his heart.

Car dangles from parking garage The Associated Press MILWAUKIE — Clackamas County officials say an 83-year-old man accidentally crashed his car through a concrete wall of a parking garage, leaving the car dangling on the edge of the second floor, then walked back to his room at a Milwaukie retirement community.

Clackamas Fire District No. 1 firefighters were called to the Willamette View Manor’s parking garage shortly after noon Monday. They found the Lexus hanging half out of the parking garage and the driver uninjured in his room.

The driver was identi-

fied as Kenneth Schiedel. He tells The Oregonian, “I feel like the village idiot.� Fire District spokesman Steve McAdoo said the man told rescuers he accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake.

Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Strovink says the accident is under investigation.

Fire crews secured the car to keep it from falling to the ground until a tow truck could arrive.

O No suspects identified yet in La Pine mail theft case

By Andres Navarro The Bulletin

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Postal Service are investigating who is responsible for numerous mail theft reports in La Pine.

In the past two months, there have been 70 to 100 cases of stolen mail reported in the La Pine area, according to the Postal Service.

Mail from 19 La Pine homes was discovered on Jan. 29. The mail was found in a shed of a vacant residence near Sixth Street, said Sgt. Tim Leak, of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

A person who had been hired to clean a house by a local real estate agent found the mail, according to a county press release.

Leak said most of the mail was taken from residences in the area and all had postmark dates from early January. The mail had addresses from Eighth Street, Park,

Sparks, Big Timber, Lava and Twin drives, Snowberry and Cinder lanes, and Montana Place.

So far no suspects have been identified, said Dennis Fernald, a U.S. postal inspector in Portland.

Some of the mail that was recovered by Sheriff’s Office deputies had been found opened. The mail was returned to the owners with notification of the investigation. Any mail that has any forensic evidence that could help with the investigation is withheld from the owner.

Fernald said that overall the number of mail theft reports because of the economic recession has decreased, but people still look for valuable things in the mail. Identity theft, credit card theft, or other fraudulent activity related to the thefts have also been minimal, he said.

The most “attractive” pieces of mail taken by people, he said,

include financial information like pre-approved credit card applications, personal information and checks.

To prevent mail theft, people should consider receiving their mail at a local post office, different residences or at their jobs.

This prevents the mail from sitting out in the open or overnight before it gets picked up, Fernald said. People should also avoid leaving outgoing mail overnight in their mailboxes with the flag raised.

In an unrelated case, Tiffany Hughes, 29, of La Pine, was cited, but not arrested, Saturday on suspicion of mail theft and will appear in court at a later date.

Leak said Hughes’ case is not related to the other reports of stolen mail.

Lawyer files civil rights lawsuit in 2006 Jefferson County case Richard Lee Simmons jailed on sex charge but was never indicted

By Karen McCowan The Register-Guard

EUGENE — A small-town Oregon lawyer remains so outraged over what prosecutors did to a Central Oregon teenager in 2006 that he intends to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to seek redress.

For now, University of Oregon Law School graduate Steve Richkind, aided by several current students at the school, is asking the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to allow him to press a $3.5 million civil rights lawsuit against state prosecutors on behalf of Richard Lee Simmons.

Simmons is now 21 and living in Texas with his 30-year-old partner and their year-old child.

But as an 18-year-old resident of tiny Antelope, he was prosecuted, convicted and jailed on felony sexual abuse charges arising from a consensual relationship with his high school girlfriend, who was three years younger.

In the eyes of some, such charges are themselves an injustice. Activists across the country are pushing to exempt such cases from felony status.

Grand jury ignored But for Simmons, getting charged, jailed and publicly labeled a sex offender for such behavior was particularly egregious, Richkind says, because a Jefferson County grand jury had decided it was not a crime.

The panel of citizens, after hearing the state’s evidence against Simmons, returned a “no true bill” rather than an indictment. But, in an error chronicled in publications from Oregon newspapers to the American Bar Association Journal, nobody read the grand jury’s verdict.

Everyone from the prosecutor to the judge to Simmons’ own defense attorney assumed he had been indicted and proceeded accordingly.

After a grand juror alerted them to the error, Simmons’ suit alleges, the judge, prosecutor and defense attorney privately agreed on this remedy: The judge would declare the felony convictions “a legal nullity,” and the district attorney’s office would file new, misdemeanor sex charges against Simmons.

To botch the first prosecution and follow it with a second over the same conduct constitutes double jeopardy, “shocks the conscience” and “violates a universal sense of justice,” Richkind argues.

Public critics of Simmons’ prosecutions have ranged from newspaper editorial writers to former Oregon U.S. Attorney

Charles Turner, who calls the bungled first prosecution an example of “the grossest negligence and incompetence” and the subsequent charges “a terrible exercise of prosecutorial discretion.”

The state Department of Justice is defending the six county and state prosecutors who oversaw one or both of the prosecutions. State lawyers have until Feb. 24 to file a response to Richkind’s 9th Circuit appeals brief.

Tony Green, spokesman for Oregon Attorney General John Kroger, declined last week to discuss details.

“Our general principle is that we do our talking in court,” he said. “What is perhaps obvious is that we have been successful at every level at which this case has been heard.”

Other appeals A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge and the Oregon Supreme Court already rejected a state court civil suit making the same claims. Likewise, a U.S. District Court judge in Portland dismissed Simmons’ suit in the first federal court level. Richkind is pressing ahead.

It’s a daunting task, according to constitutional scholars and experienced appellate lawyers particularly for a solo practitioner with no federal court experience.

After graduating from the UO Law School in 1987, Richkind set up a law practice in the same town at the foot of Mount Hood where he graduated from high school. In Sandy, he has specialized in family law, mediation and criminal defense, but took on Simmons’ case at the request of a law school classmate in Jefferson County.

“Prior to this case, I had never filed any action in federal district court or the court of appeals,” he said. “It was a leap of courage for me, because I was so sure that the Constitution was trampled on by what happened to Mr. Simmons.”

Richkind has a steep hill to climb, said Rankin Johnson, a Portland criminal appellate lawyer.

A case worth fighting “But this case is also an outrageous enough injustice that it looks like it’s worth fighting over,” he said.

Richkind looked every bit the small-town lawyer when he appeared before Lane County Circuit Judge Karsten Rasmussen on Simmons’ state criminal case early last year. (Rasmussen brokered a settlement of that case after Jefferson County judges withdrew because of their court’s role in the first prosecution.)

In contrast to the polished

manner and sleek suits of most litigators, Richkind had an outraged air and the slightly rumpled look of an absent-minded professor.

The latter attribute torpedoed his 2008 bid for an Oregon House seat: He had no candidate statement in the Oregon Voter’s Pamphlet because he missed the submission deadline.

In a brief filed with the 9th Circuit late last year, Richkind argues that Jefferson County officials violated Simmons’ federal due process rights by prosecuting and jailing him “illegally” the first time despite the grand jury’s decision not to indict him.

The officials further violated those rights, Richkind alleges, by “conspiring” to go forward with a second prosecution for the sexual contact, this time filing misdemeanor charges.

The suit calls the latter prosecution a “vindictive sham” designed to “justify and cover up the illegal first prosecution,” thus protecting the state from embarrassment and liability.

And it alleges that the officials violated Simmons’ state and U.S. Fifth Amendment protections against double jeopardy in the second prosecution for misdemeanor offenses that were “lesser and included” versions of the charges in the first case.

He urges the 9th Circuit to overrule a federal district court judge’s dismissal of the case. In that decision, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman granted a state Department of Justice motion to dismiss the case.

Not double jeopardy Department of Justice attorney Leonard Williamson had argued that Simmons was not subjected to double jeopardy because the first prosecution became a “void act” and because the charges filed in the second case were different and arose from different incidents. U.S. courts have upheld the right of prosecutors to file misdemeanor charges after a grand jury “not true bill” on felony crime arising from the same episode, he wrote.

Williamson noted that the 9th Circuit has previously upheld prosecutorial immunity even when a prosecutor knowingly used false testimony at trial.

Among Richkind’s arguments to the 9th Circuit is a claim that prosecutorial immunity does not apply to such nondiscretionary tasks as the duty to read a grand jury indictment.

That argument could raise an interesting legal question, Lewis and Clark Law School professor Susan Mandiberg said.

“Prosecutors do have absolute immunity for prosecutorial decisions, but not for administrative decisions,” she said. “The question is, where is the line drawn?”

Helicopter felled tree in fatal forest incident, OSHA finds

By Jayson Jacoby Baker City Herald

A federal agency has cited the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest for committing several safety violations during the August 2009 cleanup of a marijuana grow in which a WallowaWhitman employee was killed by a falling tree.

Steven A. Uptegrove, 52, of Unity, was killed on Aug. 20.

He and another Forest Service worker were loading trash into “sling loads” that were hauled away by a Chinook helicopter from the site near the Monument Rock Wilderness, about nine miles southwest of Unity.

Investigators believe “rotor wash” — the wind generated by the helicopter’s two rotors — toppled the dead tree that hit Uptegrove, said Randy White, area director at the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration office in Portland.

The tree broke near its base, White said.

Tom Knappenberger, a spokesman at the Forest Service’s regional office in Portland, said agency officials had no comment about the OSHA citations.

OSHA investigators wrote in their citation report that “the employer (the Wallowa-Whitman) did not identify and remove danger trees prior to employees working in the immediate area.”

On Aug. 19, the day before Uptegrove was killed, workers pushed over some dead trees by hand, White said.

“The primary problem was that they had some (other) trees out there that needed to be taken down before the operation

was started,” he said. “There were other dangerous trees in the area that they couldn’t push over (by hand).”

White said OSHA investigators did not find any evidence that workers used a chain saw or other method to fall hazard trees before the helicopter arrived.

OSHA also cited the Wallowa-Whitman for allowing Uptegrove to wear a hard hat that didn’t comply with current safety standards.

However, White said he does not believe the condition of that hard hat contributed to Uptegrove’s death.

“Whether it would have saved his life (had he been wearing a different hard hat) I really don’t think so,” White said.

He did not know how tall or thick the tree was that hit Uptegrove.

OSHA started investigating the incident on Aug. 21. The agency cited the Wallowa-Whitman on Jan. 29.

Federal law prohibited OSHA officials from publicly discussing the investigation or the citations until they had written confirmation that the Wallowa-Whitman had received the citations, which were sent by certified mail, said Jeannine Lupton, a spokeswoman for the Department of Labor. OSHA received that confirmation on Thursday.

White said OSHA will require the Wallowa-Whitman to correct the violations by Feb. 25.

OSHA does not issue fines or other financial penalties on federal agencies, he said.

OSHA also cited the Wallowa-Whitman for: • Failing to require an employee to wear “complete eye

protection, such as goggles, while exposed to flying debris caused by the rotor wash of the CH-47 Helicopter.”

• Failing to conduct a briefing before each day’s operation.

“On August 20, 2009, the plan of operation was not understood by both the CH-47 helicopter pilot and the U.S. Forest Service employees. Prior to hooking up the cargo nets, the plan called for a dry run which was never conducted. This situation created extremely hazardous conditions for all involved, such as, but not limited to, danger trees falling.”

Uptegrove had worked for the Forest Service for more than 30 years, and for the WallowaWhitman since 2006. He was a station lead and fire engine foreman at the forest’s compound in Unity.

He helped to clean up the marijuana grow in part because, as a veteran firefighter, he had experience attaching sling loads to helicopters.

Police had discovered the pot plantation, which consisted of about 2,100 plants, during a surveillance flight in a National Guard helicopter a few weeks before Uptegrove was killed.

During that flight they found a second operation, with 12,000 plants, east of the other plantation.

“We feel these two grows are tied into a Mexican-run drug operation out of the Nampa/ Caldwell area,” Oregon State Police Lt. Ray Duman said in August.

Police didn’t find any suspects at either plantation.

“It’s very typical that once you fly over with a helicopter the people at the grows abandon them because they know what’s coming,” Duman said.

Portland schools’ English language program still needs fixing, state says The Associated Press PORTLAND — Portland’s school district still isn’t meeting federal standards for students learning English, says the Oregon Department of Education, which is continuing to withhold some federal funding.

In a letter to Portland Public Schools last month, state officials said the district had fixed only some of the problems listed in a 2009 audit, and that new findings reported some students were leaving the English Language Learner program without evidence they had learned the language.

Diana Fernandez, director of Portland’s English as a Second Language department, told The Oregonian that the district has been working on the problems for a year, including

going through the schedule of each ELL student and training about 130 staff on more effective teaching strategies.

But she said not everything has gone smoothly.

“Are there issues and do we need to change the way we’re serving kids? Yes,” Fernandez said. “But what the state found this last time wasn’t something that was happening in all of our schools. It’s a few schools here and there.”

More than a year ago, the Education Department said the district wasn’t adequately serving students learning English.

Among the problems were that students weren’t getting the minimum 30 minutes a day of English language instruction and some weren’t able to take core classes. The state says the

instruction time issue has been resolved, but the problem with core classes remains.

In September, the state told the district that it planned to withhold the federal money — about $600,000 — until the changes were made.

Marta Guembes, chairwoman of the district’s English as Second Language department’s parent advisory council, said the district should consider redesigning the department.

“They’re just using bandages on each little thing that comes up,” said Guembes.

Don’t go soft on NCLB law

P

resident Barack Obama promises changes to the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law, the education reform bill that was to have brought every American child to academic

proficiency just four years from now. If the reformist spirit that drove his Race to the Top efforts remains, American kids and their families are likely to be better off.

One of the early casualties is likely to be the law’s 2014 deadline for proficiency. Even with buckets of money, the deadline was unrealistic, failing as it did to take into account the very real difficulties some kids have with learning.

Also being discussed are changes in the way the law is funded, with at least some federal education money redirected to schools that show the best academic progress. Currently, federal education dollars are allocated by formulas that take into account such things as a school’s number of poor students. While such numbers are important, rewarding success fits well with the philosophy that created the administration’s Race to the Top program, which will award more than $4 billion to school districts that do such things as encourage charter schools and reward excellent teachers.

There are other things the administration should modify, rather than change wholesale. One is the reliance on test scores to measure success. We know the argument that says relying on test scores forces teachers to “teach

to the test,” which supposedly squelches academic creativity. It need not, of course, and the notion that teachers did not teach to tests before NCLB is simply silly. Tests have been a part of public education for longer than anyone can remember.

The danger in removing the 2014 deadline for proficiency is that it could be replaced with something that’s basically unmeasurable — having all kids leave high schools “college or career ready” without specific definitions of what that means. But determining readiness against national standards, something that’s now lacking, would force states to create programs and local standards that could get kids to the national ones. Doing so would correct one serious problem with the current law, which gives states too much freedom to adopt standards of their own and come up with populations where “all the children are above average” in doing so.

NCLB as written is not perfect, but it did increase accountability in American classrooms. The Obama administration should build on such strengths.

Another setback for vaccine critics I

t sure took the well-respected British medical journal Lancet long enough. But now, 12 years after the fact, it has retracted the article it published in 1998 linking autism to standard children’s vaccinations. The episode rightly leaves the magazine’s reputation tarnished, and it should give those who still accept the vaccine-autism link something to think about.

The 1998 article by Dr. Andrew Wakefield has been refuted by numerous other studies, both in the United States and Britain. That hasn’t been enough, however, to persuade some parents of autistic children that, like it or not, the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) or other vaccine did not cause their children’s problems.

Perhaps the retraction, late though it is, and the reasons behind it will be more persuasive. The research refuting Wakefield’s position has gone unchallenged, for one thing, and new studies continue to find no link between vaccines and autism.

Worse, a British medical panel recently reported problems with the 1998 study that should give even the likes of Jenny McCarthy, the anti-vaccine crusading actress, pause. Among them: Wakefield had, a year before the study linking the MMR vaccine to autism,

created a measles vaccine that would become popular if the standard MMR vaccine were discredited, according to The New York Times. Too, Wakefield’s study was financed in part by lawyers of families hoping to sue vaccine manufacturers, the British medical panel found. Those clear conflicts of interest, had they been made public early on, may well have helped raise questions about his results.

Meanwhile, one wonders where Lancet was in all this. Ten of the 13 scientists who signed on to the original study have refuted it, while the remaining three, including Wakefield, face the very real possibility of losing their medical licenses as a result of what Britian’s General Medical Council says is their unethical behavior. Yet for years, while Lancet admitted the study shouldn’t have been published, the magazine refused to retract its findings.

While the Wakefield study had its greatest impact in Britain, American parents should take Lancet’s action for what it is, a long overdue refutation of an article it has known was flawed for several years. At the same time, they should rethink their own willingness to ignore research that has shot down other popularly accepted links — thimerosal — to autism that simply don’t stand up to close scrutiny.

In My View Unintended consequences of health reform

By Frank Trostel, D.O. Bulletin guest columnist

A

s a retired general practice physician with 39 years in private practice and three years at Volunteers In Medicine in Bend, I have watched with interest the discussion about the Obama health plan.

I began practicing in Portland in 1962, so it was three years before Medicare came into being on July 1, 1965. Prior to Medicare’s inception, most of my retired patients were in the habit of paying for their medical costs.

There were some who had insufficient income to do so, so other physicians and I treated them gratis. Prior to Medicare, when one of my patients needed major surgery, I would assist the surgeon, who would then pay me a portion of the insurance check for my assistance.

These practices changed with Medicare. Two concepts were applied. One was “usual and customary fees” and the other “fee splitting.” It was declared that surgeons could no longer “split fees” with referring physicians.

Therefore, hospitals had to hire additional surgical nurses to do the job formerly done by the referring physician.

Medicare officials announced late in 1965 that the “usual and customary fees” paid to caregivers would be decreased by 10 percent on Jan. 1, 1966, a case of over-promising and underfunding, because the creators had no idea about the real costs of Medicare.

When I retired in 2001, my “usual and

customary fees” were reimbursed at about 50 percent by Medicare. With office overhead at that time approximating 45 percent of total expenses, one can see the narrow margin for profit.

The Bend area has been very fortunate in attracting well-trained, very qualified physicians. I, for one, am very grateful that they have been here when I needed them. In 2000, I had a serious heart attack. There is no doubt in my mind that, had I needed to be transferred to Salem or Portland, I would not have survived.

I happened to have an appointment with a specialist in Bend recently. I asked him how he thought the proposed changes in Medicare reimbursement would affect his future. He said that he was very worried, because even now there were severe financial burdens because of poor Medicare reimbursement in Oregon. He ventured that he and his wife, who is also a physician, might move to another country to practice because of these factors.

This follows the early retirement of my fairly young vascular surgeon over a year ago for the same reasons.

Obviously, most persons who need the care of a vascular surgeon are senior citizens. If Medicare fee reimbursement is reduced even further, more and more patients are going to have difficulty finding a physician who will give them an appointment.

Also, the “patient obligation” part of the contract with Medicare will

be increased, and no one knows by how much, since most of these negotiations are occurring behind closed doors. If my experience from 1965 is a guide, it will be shocking and happen very quickly. Once again, the proposed creators certainly have no idea how much this will cost the taxpayers, patients, or providers.

The expression “In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve” is usually ascribed to Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who admired the U.S. That may be true, but in my opinion, “the people” are likely to get much less than they deserve if the proposed changes in our health care system are passed into law. If there are about 29 million people in the U.S. without health care insurance, why not provide for them without destroying the very good medical care system that exists now in this country?

In the movie White Christmas, in one scene Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney do a vaudeville dance when they use the joke: Have you heard about the doctor who fell into a well, the punch line being, “He should have tended to the sick and left the well alone.” I think that would be good advice to our Congress: Take care of those who can’t afford to pay for their health care and leave the rest alone.

The political class should step aside and let America succeed

By Manco Snapp Bulletin guest columnist

I

can remember a time long ago and far away where parents expected their children to have a better life than they had. For the record, the place was Louisiana and the time was the ’50s. In the ’60s, a song asked where have all the flowers gone. Today that refrain might sing, where has the all the American spirit gone? What has happened to us? When I was a child, I had great expectations of education and profitable work that would allow me to have a full and comfortable life.

Today, everywhere I go, I meet recent college graduates working as waiters, clerks, retail salespersons and even janitors. I do not mean to denigrate those jobs, but they are not the jobs one envisions when investing many thousands of dollars and five years of a 75-year life to achieve. As university seniors, my generation was bombarded by job offers, looking expectantly forward to a work life full of challenges and envelope-pushing

developments. Today many young adults are in college because they do not know what else to do and that’s what their parents did. Where have all the hopes gone?

Today, when I purchase goods, and even in some cases services, those products are made somewhere else, not in America. I predominantly see cars developed by foreign companies. When a doctor, evermore foreign or foreign-educated, prescribes medicine, it is made by a foreign company. When I buy fuel for my vehicles, the feedstock was produced somewhere else. The U.S. used to have a robust chemical industry that produced the raw material for many of our everyday needs. Much is now produced somewhere else. Where have all the jobs gone?

The companies with whom I am associated employ ever more foreign and foreign-educated engineers and technicians. As a friend who is president of MIT laments, our education system is not producing a sufficient supply of technically trained graduates. Yet our world’s most expensive high schools turn out gradu-

IN MY VIEW ates ranked somewhere around 30th in the world. Where have all the teachers gone?

Even when there is great global demand for some jobs, it is not in the U.S. My son, who is a recent graduate nuclear engineer, is working as an engineer but not in the nuclear field. There is great global demand, but no domestic demand, for that capability. The number of universities offering that curriculum, potentially critical to our future, shrinks every year from a lack of students. Today, many of the significant developments in products and processes are made somewhere else.

Where has all the American ingenuity gone?

Every day, I am reminded we cannot afford things we used to: good health care, a space program, five-day school weeks and world class infrastructure. We have no money. It is being shipped out of the country to pay interest on our debt

and buy the things we need to make life comfortable. Since we cannot produce things at a world-competitive cost, we borrow to sustain ourselves. Our debt is staggering and growing with each utterance from our political class. As a result, we are about to be taxed or devalued, another form of taxation, into oblivion.

Where has all the money gone?

These events and changes in America are evident if one has his eyes and mind open. They are sneaky in that they are gradual and have been occurring for a pretty long time and have occurred regardless of which party has been in charge of your government. The political class does not seem to be appreciative of the one thing that has made America what it is, our strong economy. Politicians are bleeding us out. They have made the source of our strength, private enterprise/profit, a bad thing. Somehow, even though a slight majority of us still work in and derive our sustenance from private enterprise, we have been convinced, I guess, that we are bad. We have been

convinced that we should regulate, tax and bureaucratize our source of national income into oblivion.

Now the point of all this is: I ask you, Bend, Oregon and America, to wake up and demand that government get out of our way so that we can again have hope and expectation of a better life for our children.

And, as an international businessman, I can tell you protectionism is not the answer, unless of course, you are happy in a country where very expensive, cheaply made, unavailable products are the norm.

Nothing good happens where there is a lack of competition from the best, unless, of course, you are of the political class.

Then, of course, you will have everything, including world class health care.

Sadly, today I can find few parents who expect their children to have a better life than they had.

Betty Jean (Worden) Mathews

Gloria Herzberg Geraths

Sept. 26, 1921 - Jan. 30, 2010

April 15, 1934 - February 4, 2010

Betty Jean Worden Mathews was born September 26, 1921, in Portland, Oregon and passed away on January 30, 2010, in Kirkland, Washington.

Following a childhood flavored with imagination, the simplicity and freedom of a farm, the Betty Mathews challenges of the Great Depression and the loving support of her father, Oliver, her mother, Lucille, step-mother, Clara, and her brothers, Gordon and Ray, Betty was ready to take her dreams to Oregon State in September, 1941. She danced and laughed her way through college and found Craig, the love of her life. Marriage, many moves (Air Force and General Mills) and raising three children lead to retirement in Bend, Oregon.

Betty became a published author while she and Craig traveled, and thoroughly enjoyed friends, tennis and golf.

The last five years included the challenges of Betty's health, leaving their home and losing their youngest child, but Betty and Craig have been well-cared for at The Chateau, in Bothell, Washington and have enjoyed many wonderful times with children, grand- children and great-grandchildren.

Betty and Craig's 65-year marriage is a testament to the power and longevity of love.

Betty (Baba) was greatly loved and cherished by her family and many friends.

Betty was preceded in death by her beloved youngest son, Bart, and is survived by her husband, Craig, and her oldest son, Gary. Her family also includes her daughter, Marky, and son-in-law, Kurt, granddaughters Jamie (Troy) Turpin, Ashley (Gerry) Cherney and great-grandsons Jackson and Will. Betty was awaiting the birth of her great-granddaughter.

Remembrances may be made to Evergreen Hospice Center at 12822 124th Lane NE Kirkland, WA 98023, or to Pasado's Safe Haven (animal rescue center) at P.O. Box 171 Sultan, WA 98294. Betty was lovingly honored and remembered at a memorial on February 1, 2010.

David Becker was expert on thyroid disease

By Matthew L. Wald New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Dr. David Becker, a pioneer in using radioactive materials to diagnose and treat thyroid disease and an expert on the thyroid damage caused by the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident in 1986, died Jan. 31 at his home in Manhattan. He was 86 and had continued his research work until last year.

His son, Daniel, confirmed the death, saying Becker had heart disease and other illnesses.

At his death, Becker was a professor of radiology and medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan and an attending radiologist and physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Becker was an early leader in the use of radioactive materials for organ imaging and treatment. After the explosion at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, huge releases of radioactive iodine spread for miles. Many thousands of people, mostly children, were exposed. A study in 2005 linked about 2,000 cases of thyroid cancer to the accident. After the accident, Becker led a team assembled by the National Cancer Institute that investigated the effects of the radioactive iodine on the thyroid. In 1996, he was awarded a White House citation for the work.

‘News Doctor’ Frank Magid, 78, revolutionized local TV newscasts

By Patricia Sullivan The Washington Post

Frank Magid, the television “news doctor” whose survey research and advice to local television stations in the 1970s resulted in co-anchors who chatted between stories, fast-paced graphics, sports tickers and live shots, and a heavy reliance on both crime coverage and feelgood segments, died of lymphoma Feb. 5 in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 78.

“Action News,” as Magid dubbed his format, revolutionized broadcast news operations from Cedar Rapids to Kuala Lumpur. At a time when most local TV news shows featured a single anchorman reading the news from a sheet of paper in front of a static background, “Action News” and its rival, “Eyewitness News,” demonstrated both the untapped possibilities of the medium and the opportunity to devolve into “happy talk” between serious segments. The redone broadcasts almost always shot to the top of the ratings.

But Magid-style changes were criticized as both a uniformization and a dumbing-down of news coverage. “Thanks to him, local newscasts throughout America are like airports or fast food joints; they lack all traces of indigenousness,” wrote Tom Shales of The Washington Post in 1982.

Supporters noted that Magid consistently emphasized the importance of local news, sharpened his clients’ newswriting and forced them to pay better

attention to the impressions of the audience. His research said viewers wanted hard news mixed with health, consumer and lifestyle stories, presented in a highly visual, fast-paced broadcast by people whom viewers liked. Shorter stories, urgent tones and better dressed and coiffed news staffers were just part of the bargain.

The “Action News” format had its first major success in 1970, when WPVI in Philadelphia rocketed from last to first place in the ratings. Station managers took notice, and it quickly became standard fare across the country and later, around the world.

Magid’s research also recommended CBS News feature Walter Cronkite as the solo anchorman on its evening news program. That didn’t stop the venerable broadcaster from describing the work of consultants such as Magid as “a fad” and “balderdash,” in a widely reported 1976 speech, dubbing those who followed his advice “suckers for a fad” and “editing by consultancy.”

The criticism irked Magid. He told Washington Post reporter John Carmody the next year that “I feel sorry for Walter because he doesn’t take time to check the facts. It’s interesting that TV newsmen are so gullible.”

Magid also helped develop ABC’s “Good Morning America,” which in 1975 defined the modern morning show format, and he developed local early morning newscasts as well.

“We were the first to suggest to clients that there was an opportunity for news between 6 and 7 a.m. in the morning and strongly urged our clients to do that,” Magid in 1997 told Electronic Media magazine, which called him “the godfather of local TV news research.” Clients resisted his suggestion, he recalled, claiming that the time was not covered by ratings, the audience was too small and advertisers would never support the concept. A New Orleans station, followed by Sacramento and Minneapolis, proved the naysayers wrong.

Magid, through his eponymous company based for many years in Marion, Iowa, also ran a “star school” for aspiring anchors where reporters were taught “relaxed intensity” in their presentation. Magid Associates also served as an industry recruitment agency, providing client stations who were searching for new “talent” with videotapes of up-and-coming broadcasters in other markets.

Magid launched his company in 1956. His first client was a bank; his fourth was WMT-TV, now KGAN-TV, in Cedar Rapids. By creating careful surveys and polling random samples of a population, Magid and his employees were able to provide highly accurate data that gave television its first serious consumer research.

His firm, from which he retired in 2002, also advised radio stations, and urged broadcasters to invest in cable TV.

William ‘Bullet Bill’ Dudley, football legend, dies at 88

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — William “Bullet Bill” Dudley, one of the most storied football players in Virginia history who later had a Hall of Fame career in the National Football League, died Thursday of a stroke in Lynchburg, Va. He was 88.

Dudley, a small but versatile halfback, became the University of Virginia’s first all-American football player in 1941, when he led the Cavaliers to an 8-1 record and a memorable Thanksgiving Day victory over the team’s archrival, the University of North Carolina.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1946, Dudley became the only player in NFL history to lead the league in rushing, interceptions and punt returns in the same season. He was the league’s most valuable player that year and later starred with the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins.

Dudley came to the University of Virginia from the Appalachian town of Bluefield, Va., and made his way into the starting backfield as a 17-year-old sophomore in 1939. The next year, he was a third-team all-American, and in his senior season, he was, by many accounts, the finest college football player in the country.

A speeding bullet?

At 5-10 and 170 pounds in college, Dudley was not an especially fast runner, in spite of his nickname “Bullet Bill.” In a race among 14 backs at an all-star game in 1942, he once recalled, he finished 13th.

What he lacked in sheer speed, though, he made up for with balance, toughness and a remarkable ability to elude tacklers in the open field. He excelled at every skill in his sport: running, passing, punting, place kicking, blocking, defense and returning kicks.

Even in an era when leatherhelmeted players stayed in the game on both offense and defense, Dudley’s versatility was extraordinary.

“People who didn’t play both ways missed out on something,” he told The Washington Post in 1986.

In 1941, Virginia lost its first game of the season to Yale, 2119. Dudley then led the Cavaliers to eight straight victories, as he garnered national attention for his running, passing and kicking.

Thanksgiving game When U-Va. met North Carolina on Thanksgiving Day, coach Frank Murray slipped a brief message into each player’s locker: “Nine years.” It had been that long since the Cavaliers had beaten the Tar Heels.

Before 22,000 fans in Chapel Hill, an Associated Press reporter wrote, Dudley “gave one of the most amazing performances ever witnessed in Kenan Stadium.”

In the first quarter, he passed for a 21-yard touchdown. Two minutes later, he swept around right end and broke five tackles on his way to a 67-yard touchdown run.

“He scored standing up,” the AP reported, “grinning over his shoulder.”

In the third quarter, he raced 79 yards for another touchdown, mystifying defenders with his shifty, change-of-pace running.

Bill Dudley waves to the crowd prior to enshrinement ceremonies at Fawcett Field at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7, 2005. Dudley, a runner, passer, punter, placekicker and defensive back during a nine-year career, died Thursday. He was 88.

He scored again in the fourth quarter, diving across the goal line from three yards out.

That day, Dudley carried the ball 17 times for a school record of 215 yards, kicked four extra points and made many key tackles, as Virginia won, 28-7. It was considered one of the greatest games in school history.

“I’ve never seen a better football player,” his coach said.

In 1941, Dudley led the nation in scoring, with 134 points, and in rushing, with 968 yards in nine games. He passed for 856 yards and averaged 17.2 yards on 28 punt returns.

He finished fifth in the race for the Heisman Trophy, but he won the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards as the country’s top college football player and was a consensus all-American.

His jersey number, 35, was the first ever retired at Virginia.

‘The greatest’ In 2009, 68 years after Dudley played his final game for the Cavaliers, Gerry Capone, U-Va.’s associate athletic director, called him “absolutely the greatest player to ever come out of the state of Virginia.”

William McGarvey Dudley was born Dec. 24, 1921, in Bluefield and was cut from his high school team as a sophomore.

After his college career, he signed with the Steelers as the first pick in the 1942 NFL draft.

He led the league in rushing and was named rookie of the year. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Forces and played on a star-studded military football team.

He went back to Pittsburgh for his 1946 MVP season and then moved on to Detroit and Washington. He was named to six all-NFL squads during his career.

With the Redskins, he was the roommate of Hall of Fame quarterback Sammy Baugh.

Dudley was a deadly accurate field-goal kicker and, in 1950, he set a team record by returning a punt 96 yards for a touchdown. In 1953, when he was the Redskins’ backfield coach, player injuries drew him out of retirement for one last season.

Dudley received his bachelor’s degree from U-Va. in 1950 and then settled in his wife’s home town of Lynchburg, where he ran an insurance business for more than 50 years. In the 1960s and 1970s, he served four terms in the Virginia House of Delegates, two as a Democrat and two as a Republican.

Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Elizabeth Leininger “Libba” Dudley of Lynchburg; three children, Jim Dudley of Lynchburg, Rebecca Stinson of Roanoke and Jarrett Millard of Charlottesville; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

A son, William L. Dudley, died of leukemia in 1955 at age 5.

For years, Dudley returned to Charlottesville for an annual football game between the Virginia varsity and alumni. As late as 1962, when he was 40, he could still make tacklers half his age look helpless.

“Every time I went on the football field,” Dudley said, “I felt I had something to prove.”

Suicide Continued from C1 Haskin had no prior criminal record in Deschutes County, but he had a smattering of charges on his record from other counties, including convictions for drunken driven and forgery in Clatsop County in the mid-90s and a criminal mischief conviction in Washington County in 1998.

After responding to the Redmond bank robbery, police tracked down Haskin with the help of the note he’d handed the bank teller.

On the front of the note, Haskin had scrawled, “Give me all the cash in your drawer or I will blow up half the place now.”

On the back: a receipt for a payment Haskin had made to the Beaverton Municipal Court for a suspended driving charge, complete with his name and address.

According to a search warrant affidavit filed by Redmond Police, officials recovered a few hundred dollars from a house

Continued from C1 The commission did not make a decision Monday night. Instead, the three commissioners are scheduled to discuss the issue at a work session at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 22 and possibly vote on the issue at a 10 a.m. Feb. 24 meeting.

The county has not yet approved any events on Skyliners Road in 2010, according to a staff report. In 2009, six sporting events took place over 13 days, according to a county staff report. The FreshAirSports time trial and duathlon series accounted for the most days: six evenings from June through August.

The proposed county resolution on Skyliners Road would be to impose the special $100 fee for events on the road, in addition to the county’s current $35 event permit fee. The commission considered a range of solutions, including banning all events on the road.

The fee would only apply to event applications on Skyliners Road, and the two-day limit would apply to events until the road is reconstructed and bike lanes are added. A year ago, the Federal Highway Administration designated Skyliners Road

a forest highway, which could provide money to repave it. But federal funding was preliminarily scheduled for 2016, so county and city of Bend officials are lobbying the federal government to pay for the project sooner.

Most of the people who testified at the hearing were residents, and many of them said events attract recreational cyclists to the road who practice on the road before the races.

Resident Marcy Monte said the county should stop permitting cycling races on Skyliners Road.

“That will help decrease the use by the recreational riders until the road is set up for bike lanes,” Monte said.

While most of the residents opposed continuing to allow events on the road, some of them supported opening the road to

events again once it is reconstructed with bike paths.

Gina Miller, owner of FreshAirSports, said the county should consider a compromise to allow her to hold four time trials instead of the two she would be restricted to under the proposed resolution.

The time trials would no longer be economically viable if there were only two days, she said.

Cyclist Mark Spencer said the County Commission should consider how its decision on Skyliners Road events could hurt the community’s image as a cycling hub. “This community has done a remarkable job of bringing these events to the community,” Spencer said.

in Redmond and another $6,019 from Haskin after he was pulled over in Redmond. An additional $200 was recovered from a northeast Bend motel where Haskin allegedly checked in after the robbery.

After he was arrested, Haskin told police that he’d given nearly $3,000 in cash to a Redmond woman, 32-year-old Teresa Louise Hopson from whom he said he purchased methamphetamine.

Hopson was arrested on suspicion of first-degree theft by receiving, unlawful possession and delivery of methamphetamine, and endangering the welfare of a child and remains in the Deschutes County jail.

Haskin told detectives that he’d moved to Redmond from the Portland area five days before he was arrested, the affidavit said.

State business records list Haskin as the current operator of a painting and drywall business in Beaverton.

Haskin told police he pulled up in front of the bank on Jan. 29 and wrote the note about the robbery.

“I went to the bank and felt like I had nothing to lose,” Haskin told police. “I got desperate. I left the girl the note and she looked at me and said no and then handed me a large amount of money.”

Haskin told police that he’d swallowed methamphetamine just before he was pulled over.

They called medics and Haskin was transported to St. Charles Bend.

It’s not clear how much time Haskin spent at the hospital before he was taken to jail.

Blanton said suicide threats and attempts occur occasionally at the jail, and officials are trained to take those threats seriously.

“Depending on the degree of the comment and/or an attempt, they can be placed on what we call a suicide watch, where someone is given certain clothing and bedding and more frequent visual checks,” he said.

There have been two other suicides at the jail, in 1979 and 1996.

Minority group to offer aid to white students The Associated Press PORTLAND — An Oregon group that represents minorities plans to offer scholarships for white college students to study race relations and help champion issues important to minorities.

“I want to reach white students because I believe the more the majority is involved in our conversations and in our work, the more we are able to get to solutions,” said Promise King, executive director of the Oregon League of Minority Voters.

King told The Oregonian that details for the scholarships are being worked out, but the first are expected to be awarded this spring and will be about $2,000 over five years. Recipients must live in Oregon and can’t be of Asian, African, Latino or Native descent.

Whites far outnumber people of color in Oregon, who make up about 20 percent of the state’s population. Of the 90 members in the Oregon Legislature, all but three are white.

“The minorities we have in Oregon are not in a position to effect changes,” King said.

“The ones in position to effect changes are white.”

Not all minority leaders are comfortable with the scholarships.

Nichole Maher, executive director of the Native American Youth Family Center in Portland, welcomes any move to get whites involved in matters important to minorities but doesn’t think Oregon lacks qualified people of color to serve in office or shape public policy. Members of minority groups need to lead discussions on poverty, discrimination and schools, she said.

“Promise’s group should not just focus on whites being good allies but ensuring those people use their power and influence to give up their spot for a person of color,” she said.

Powell Butte Continued from C1 The lease agreement, however, still needs to be worked out. The board does not want to lease the building if that cost would be more than the cost of closing the school.

The charter school would still have to meet both state and federal standards. But a charter school must differentiate from the district’s other schools. The Powell Butte

Tower Continued from C1 The county hearings officer found that AT&T had not demonstrated the tower had to be located on a 190-acre parcel owned by Chester Bradley, which was zoned exclusively for farm use.

AT&T appealed the denial, and a public hearing on the appeal was scheduled for Monday. An attorney for AT&T, Richard J. Busch, withdrew the company’s application in a letter e-mailed to the county.

“As we discussed this morning, New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC hereby withdraws its applications for land use permits in these matters,” Busch wrote in a letter to the county.

County Senior Planner Will Groves said Busch told him AT&T plans to reapply for a cell tower but did not disclose the details of where or when.

Property owner Bradley said this morning that AT&T had not yet told him it withdrew the application. Bradley said he suspected AT&T decided the lengthy process of dealing with opposition from his neighbors was not worth it.

“It would have been income for me,” Bradley said. “I’m 80 years old.”

Frank and Kathy Deggendorfer, who live on a 316-acre ranch next to Bradley’s property, have opposed the cell tower because it would detract from their views and they believe AT&T could install towers in other locations that are not zoned for exclusive farm use.

Kathy Deggendorfer said Monday that she was pleased that AT&T withdrew its application, but she does not believe the issue is dead. “I use a cell phone, I’m on one right now,” Deggendorfer said.

“But they need to choose the best location, not just the easiest location.”

Charter proposal is to use a place-based and service-oriented curriculum. Students would go out into the community and learn from businesses and organizations such as the Oregon State University Extension Office and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The board had an incentive in voting in favor of the charter school. Had the members decided to not grant the charter, the decision could have been appealed to the Oregon De-

partment of Education. If ODE sided with the charter school, the district would receive less state funding than if it approved the school.

“It’s a good application,” said board member Scott Cooper before the meeting. “The idea of them trying to educate their kids in a different manner is pretty well laid out and thoughtful.”

NORDIC SKIING

HEATHER CLARK

All comers invited to pedal for a good cause C

hances are, just about every cyclist in Central Oregon has either participated, or knows someone who has participated, in the Tour des Chutes. The wildly popular multidistance cycling event — now entering its sixth year — attracted more than 1,000 riders in 2009 and raised some $86,000 for local and national cancer charities.

This year’s ride, set for July 17, is still months away. However, Central Oregon riders can pedal for a cause in a mini-Tour des Chutes set for Saturday, Feb. 20.

Staged by the same crew that organizes the July event, Spin for Cancer is an indoor cycling fundraiser, in which participants can choose to ride a stationary bike or their own bike fixed upon a trainer, for one, two or three hours.

Spin for Cancer takes place at the Athletic Club of Bend, which will have local fitness and cycling instructors leading the ride set to music. The ride, which is open to public, will be held from 8 to 11 a.m.

The Bend Table Tennis Club plays on one of the courts of the old Bright Wood building at the West Bend Tennis Center off Century Drive last Wednesday night. Since moving into the new facility, participation has increased.

Americans are used to being the scrappy underdog in nordic combined, a sport that involves cross-country racing and ski jumping and has traditionally been dominated by Norwegians, who originated the sport.

But this year, the Americans are getting used to being the favorites. Three of the top athletes in the sport — Todd Lodwick, Johnny Spillane and Bill Demong — are on the U.S. team, and each is hitting his peak before the Vancouver Olympics.

At the world championships in 2009, Americans won the gold medal in three of four events, and the team is widely favored to take the podium at the Winter Games. If they do that even once, it will be a first: No American has won an Olympic medal in nordic combined.

Vancouver will be the fourth Olympics for Demong and Spillane, both 29, and the fifth for Lodwick, 33. Still, Demong acknowledged that something was different this year. “Before, we were trying to believe that we could do it,” he said. “And now we know that we can.”

Although Americans have generally excelled in high-profile sports like downhill skiing and figure skating, they have lagged in nordic sports.

S B Football • Super Bowl is most watched TV show ever: The Super Bowl was watched by more than 106 million people, surpassing the 1983 finale of “M-A-S-H” to become the most-watched program in television history. The Nielsen Co. estimated Monday that 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts.

That beats the “M-A-S-H” finale, which had 105.97 million viewers in an era when there were fewer television sets.

Compelling story lines involving the city of New Orleans and its recovery from Hurricane Katrina and the quest for a second Super Bowl ring for Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning propelled the viewership.

• Browns release WR Stallworth: Donte’ Stallworth will get the chance to resurrect his NFL career, but it won’t happen in Cleveland. The Browns released the troubled wide receiver on Monday, wasting little time after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that Stallworth would be reinstated following the Super Bowl. Stallworth was suspended for the 2009 season by Goodell after he pleaded guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving drunk in Florida. He spent 24 days in jail.

• Colts are 7-1 favorites to win 2011 Super Bowl: One bad pass by Peyton Manning hasn’t cost the Indianapolis Colts any cachet. Manning and the Colts are favored to win next year’s Super Bowl, according to odds released Monday by BetUS.com. Indianapolis is a 7-1 favorite to take home the NFL championship, followed by the Chargers (8-1), Saints (9-1) and the Patriots (10-1). The Rams, coming off a 1-15 season, are the longest shot on the board at 150-1.

• Santa Clara to discuss wording of stadium measure: Santa Clara city leaders are set to discuss the final wording of the ballot measure for a proposed stadium for the San Francisco 49ers. Tonight, the Santa Clara City Council is scheduled to discuss language that city staffers describe as a multilayered question asking voters if city leaders should approve the stadium deal.

Basketball • Kaman named to replace Roy in All-Star game: Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman will replace the Trail Blazers’ Brandon Roy in this weekend’s All-Star game.

Roy injured his right hamstring last month. Roy, in his fourth season with the Blazers, made the All-Star team as a reserve for the third straight season. Kaman will be making his first All-Star appearance.

• Snowed-out Hawks-Wizards rescheduled: The snowedout game between the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards has been rescheduled for March 11. The game was supposed to be played Saturday but was postponed because of a blizzard that dumped 2 feet of snow on the nation’s capital. Both teams played in other cities Friday night, and the storm prevented them from traveling to the area.

College • Former Big 12 commissioner joins Pac-10: Former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg is joining the Pac-10 as deputy commissioner and chief operating officer. Commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday that Weiberg would start working for the conference April 12. Weiberg was commissioner of the Big 12 from 1998-2007. Revenues in the conference doubled during his tenure. He had previously been a deputy commissioner in the Big Ten and worked at the Big Ten network after his time with the Big 12. The Pac-10 is considering starting its own television network.

• Appeals court: Women wrestlers can sue UC Davis: An appeals court said Monday it appears that the University of California, Davis violated federal law meant to promote gender equity in college athletics when it eliminated its women’s wrestling program. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a lawsuit filed by three female wrestlers after the school essentially eliminated their sport by making them compete against males of the same weight after the 2000-2001 academic year.

Hockey • Gainey steps aside as Canadiens general manager: The president of the Montreal Canadiens says Bob Gainey is stepping aside as general manager and being replaced by Pierre Gauthier. Team president Pierre Boivin says Monday that Gainey will remain with the team as a special counsel to Gauthier.

NHL ROUNDUP

Flyers get past Devils The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers knew one of their shots eventually had to go in. Mike Richards’ was the one that finally counted.

The team captain scored the go-ahead goal on a power play with less than eight minutes left in the third period, leading the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night.

Richards, who shot the final of a flurry of shots at Devils goalie Martin Brodeur, took a behind-the-net pass from Kimmo Timonen, and Flyers goalie Michael Leighton made that stand up, as the Flyers rallied from two goals down.

“It was a little bit of a scramble, getting the puck, and Kimmo made a good play, just like he always does,” Richards said. “He settled (the play) down a little bit and was patient with the puck. He made a good pass to me, and I stayed in front of the net.”

While Richards netted the go-ahead goal, James van Riemsdyk and Jeff Carter shifted the momentum, as each beat Brodeur late in the second period, to tie it at 2.

With the Devils ahead 2-0, Brodeur allowed the pair of goals 1:12 apart. Van Riemsdyk scored at 18:24 when he split two defenders and wristed a shot past Brodeur’s glove side from just above the face-off circle. Carter followed by taking Scott Hartnell’s cross-ice pass and slammed a one-timer past a tumbling Brodeur.

After scoring one goal in the previous two games, the Flyers took out some frustration on Brodeur, with 37 shots on goal.

“When things aren’t scoring, you just got to kind of get back to basics there and just throw as many pucks as you can,” van Riemsdyk said. “Just kind of getting a lot of traffic in front and just making the goalie’s job really

hard.”

The Flyers snapped a two-game losing streak, and beat the Devils for the third time in four meetings.

Zach Parise and Anssi Salmela scored for the Devils, who have lost 10 of 14.

“We made a couple of mistakes in the second and they made big plays,” Brodeur said.

Salmela left the ice on a stretcher after scoring when he took a hard shoulder to the face from Carter.

As he scored his short-handed goal, a wrister past Leighton’s glove side that gave New Jersey a 2-0 lead, Salmela was struck by Carter as he skated by. Salmela tumbled to the ice and remained face down for several minutes, until the Devils medical staff wheeled him off.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Texas struggles as Kansas rolls to an easy win The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Kansas gave Texas a lesson in not only what it takes to get to No. 1, but how to stay there.

It started with a big early run and a rally-killing finish as the top-ranked Jayhawks beat No. 14 Texas 80-68 on Monday night, easily handling a team that a few weeks ago was supposed to challenge them for the Big 12 title.

“Going into the season, we were ranked one and they were two,” said Marcus Morris, who overcame dislocating his right ring finger in the first half to lead Kansas with 18 points. “We circled this game on our calendars. We were ready from day one to play this game.”

It showed as Kansas (23-1, 9-0) outmuscled and outhustled Texas (19-5, 5-4) in just about every way.

NBA ROUNDUP

Short-handed Lakers get easy win over Spurs The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Pau Gasol had 21 points and 19 rebounds to lead five players in double figures, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 101-89 Monday night without injured Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum.

Bryant missed his second consecutive game with a sore left ankle, while Bynum sat out with a bruised right hip.

In their absences, the Lakers used a collective effort to win in their final home game before this weekend’s All-Star break. Ron Artest added 18 points, Lamar Odom 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Jordan Farmar and Derek Fisher had 13 each.

Manu Ginobili scored 21 points, Tony Parker 20, Tim Duncan had 16 points and 15 rebounds and Antonio McDyess 12 rebounds for the Spurs, who have lost four in a row to the Lakers at Staples Center.

Los Angeles again showed it could win without Bryant. The Lakers snapped a five-year losing streak at Portland with a victory Saturday, when Bryant ended his streak of 235 consecutive games played and Bynum missed the second half.

The Lakers extended their lead to 81-70 early in the fourth on Monday, equaling their largest lead to that point, capped by Shannon Brown’s three-pointer.

Mostly though, the final period was a messy affair, with the Spurs throwing the ball away on three occasions and the Lakers stumbling through a cold stretch after their strong start.

But they regrouped and ended the game on a 1711 run after going 4½ minutes without a field goal.

Continued from D1 The Bend Table Tennis Club’s numbers have not always been so strong.

The club almost disintegrated a few months ago, when participation was down and rent became unaffordable at a north Bend location.

“We were pretty much out of money over there,” notes Brett Yost, 42, one of the club’s founders. He adds that the club was close to liquidating all its tables and throwing in the towel.

But the West Bend Tennis Center appeared on the horizon and helped breathe new life into the club.

“It works,” says Bob Harrington, tennis pro at the West Bend Tennis Center. “The first night we (hosted the club) I think we had 17 (players), and then it went to 24 and then 35.

Last week it was about 40, and we are at 30 or so now. So it’s been real good. They like it because it’s a nice big area, well lit and plenty of space, and it’s in town.”

The new facility currently accommodates 11 tables and club members hope to add to the stock.

“For anyone that wants to donate tables,” says Purdy, “we could always use more.”

The club has recently grown from about eight to 10 participants attending play scheduled on alternating Wednesday nights to 30 to 40 participants attending now every Wednesday.

“There are tons of people out here now,” observes Gary Philippy, a New Hampshire resident who lives a few months out of the year in Bend since he retired four years ago and has joined the local table tennis club.

“The times I went, there were very few, maybe 12 people or something.

This is a great venue.”

To keep up with new demand, the club has decided to hold open-play sessions an additional day each week. Along with the Wednesday evening gatherings, table tennis will be offered at the West Bend Tennis Center on Sundays from 2-5 p.m., starting Feb. 21.

“A lot of the more serious players would rather play twice a week,” notes Sean Purdy, 39, a Bend Table Tennis Club organizer. “Or if they can’t make one night, they can make

Continued from D1 Nordic sports draw less news media attention and champions take years to develop. In addition to nordic combined, the United States has never won a medal in biathlon, and the last time an American cross-country athlete won a medal was in 1976.

That is why team leaders are so excited about their three stars in nordic combined. Demong, seen as the Americans’ best hope for a medal, took the World Cup podium 10 times last season and won a gold medal in January. Lodwick earned two medals this season and two last season.

Spillane won gold at a World Cup event in January.

Leaders in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, which oversees nordic combined, say the Americans’ success is in part a result of the heightened attention paid to the sport since the mid-1990s, when American winter sports were under pressure to improve their performance before the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City.

“Salt Lake was a big push, for sure,” said John Farra, the ski association’s nordic director.

He said leaders realized that in order to improve the U.S.’ position, they had to take on Norway, a powerhouse. “Every medal that we win is a medal that we potentially take away from Norway,” Farra said. “We really needed our nordic sports to be a part of that.”

Some sports can benefit quickly from an infusion of cash and commitment, but that has not been the case with nordic combined. Athletes enter their best years in their late 20s and early 30s, and only after investing at least a decade of hard work.

“Nordic combined is such a funky sport,” said Alan Ashley, the managing director of sport performance at the U.S. Olympic Committee. “It takes a really long time to first of all develop the skills and the physical capability in both of these disciplines, and then to figure out how to balance the two.”

The U.S. team came close to winning a medal at Salt Lake, taking fourth place in the team event. Lodwick placed fifth in one event and seventh in another. At the 2006 Turin Games, the United States placed seventh in the team event.

Farra declined to say how much the ski association invested in nordic combined, but he said it had been consistent, which was not always true in the past. “The financial resources don’t necessarily make the champion, but it’s really hard for these athletes to commit to their sport for a decade,” he said.

Even today, the ski association does not pay a stipend to elite athletes in nordic combined, but pays their expenses to travel and compete around the world. Athletes who perform well can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in prize money and bonuses from sponsors, Farra said.

However, “if you’re 10th in the world, it drops off pretty dramatically,” he said. “If you’re 30th in the world, forget about it — you’re staying in your parents’ house.”

Demong can relate. “Everybody has to figure out how to make it work,” he said.

As recently as three years ago, Demong said, he was earning extra cash making concrete countertops for clients in Park City, Utah, where he trains. And in 2003, while he was recovering from fracturing his skull in a swimming pool accident, he worked construction.

This year, the economic recession forced the ski association to trim expenses, and Farra said the team cut financing to some lowerlevel athletes — a difficult decision, given that the team attributes its success to developing athletes.

Ashley said finding a balance between supporting elite athletes and encouraging younger ones was always difficult. However, “you need to make sure that you sustain your top programs,” he said. Elite athletes become heroes, and “those heroes help drive kids.”

Demong and others say they are seeing proof of that in nordic combined. He points to promising performances by the other two members of the Olympic team: Taylor Fletcher, who is 19, and Brett Camerota, who is 25.

In addition, Demong said, “there’s five guys that are disappointed right now that they didn’t make the team, who had realistic expectations, and I think that’s a lot different than it was for us 10 years ago.”

Demong said that although he hoped to compete at the next Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in 2014, his focus had begun to shift toward grooming the next generation.

“It would be sad if this was a flash in the pan,” he said. “Because we are poised to continue this forever.”

Rajeev Goyal puts spin on a return backhand during a Bend Table Tennis Club event last Wednesday. the other.”

Organizers plan to continue the growth of the club.

“This is just the beginning,” says Purdy with a note of optimism. “We are just going to keep upgrading.

We’ve got a good core group that live in Bend and they like to play. … As we get money … we are just going to gradually acquire better equipment, and some people want to play league.”

The club is scheduled to host its first tournament competition: The Central Cascades Table Tennis Tournament, to be held March 7 at the tennis center.

The tournament will be a roundrobin event.

“People like to be competitive,” says Yost. “Ever since we started we talked about hosting a tournament. Bend’s Community Center (where club members formerly gathered to play) didn’t seem like the right place. The lighting was bad. It just didn’t seem like it would handle a tournament well.”

Longtime players like Gardiner — who says he grew up playing league table tennis in Yorkshire, England — are excited for a chance to compete.

“This is an opportunity to play a lot of good players,” he says. “If I’m in my garage, I have to get good players to come to me, and that doesn’t happen very often. This is a great way to meet new people and get exercise

and play some really good players.”

While many of the core members of the group are rather serious and competitive about table tennis, others are transient members who are happy with a little back-and-forth action whether they beat their opponents or not.

“This is strictly for fun — to have a blast,” notes Philippy. “Whether I win or lose, I could care less.”

The players believe that table tennis is both physically and mentally challenging.

“You’ve got to really THINK when you play this game,” says Bend Table Tennis Club member Don Borne, 66, of Bend. “It’s not all about hitting the ball hard. … It’s amazing how mental it is.”

The die-hards rave about the sport, and they admit that it is actually addicting.

“It’s a really engrossing game when you are playing at the right competitive level,” notes Yost, “when you are playing against people that challenge you, but don’t dominate you.”

“I love it. It’s kind of compulsive,” says Gardiner. “This is the third time I’ve played this week.”

Disliking ‘like’ Bend High teacher’s dislike of the word is motive to break students of bad habit

— Tom Steelhammer

By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin any individuals try to give up addictive habits as New Year’s resolutions — smoking cigarettes or eating fatty foods, for instance.

Bend High School social studies teacher Lisa Nye is leading a charge for her students to resolve to give up a different habit-forming practice: saying the word “like.”

Students in two of Nye’s honors history classes walked into her room after winter break to find a sign on the board with the word “like” with a circle and big line through it. Using “like” as a simile or metaphor is OK. But Nye wanted her students to become aware of how many times they use the word simply as filler or as a substitute for “says.”

The idea came to her because she found the word creeping into her own speech and didn’t like it.

M

And she noticed when students debated in class, the word began to fly around, making their arguments sound weak. Students in both her classes agreed to the move away from using “like.” So far, Nye thinks the plan is working and she’s seen improvement.

“If nothing else, they are more aware of when they are using that word as filler,” said Nye. Sophomore Lauren Allison is on board with the idea of giving up nonessential uses of the word.

“It just makes you seem like you’re not as educated as some really smart people, I guess. Because, like, in previous generations I guess they don’t use the word ‘like’ a lot. Like my grandparents don’t use the word ‘like’ but then, all of a sudden, just our generation says it a lot.”

“I didn’t really notice how much we actually say it just by like talking normally until she pointed it out.”

“I think, Virginia, she would have loved this.” — Danielle Purdy, of the Central Oregon Symphony Association

C h ildr en’s co n cert is what she would have wanted Central Oregon Symphony to honor longtime member with free concert Saturday

By Eleanor Pierce The Bulletin

When cellist Virginia Riggs, the longest-serving member of the Central Oregon Symphony, died in December, “We were kind of at a loss as to what we could do,” said conductor Michael Gesme.

Riggs had been not just a cornerstone of the orchestra for a number of years, but also a wellknown and loved cello teacher in the region for decades.

“At one point I said, ‘Why don’t we do a concert not dedicated to her,’” because he knew Riggs was too modest to want such fanfare, “but do something new that would be something she would have loved and supported.”

The answer came in the form of a free children’s concert, coming up Saturday at Bend High School (see “If you go” Page E6).

“We have not done a children’s concert in probably 20 years,” Gesme said, but he hopes this weekend’s concert will be only the first in a series of events to bring music to kids.

The hourlong concert is intended for children 5 and older and will include shorter performances of pieces to be played in the upcoming Central Oregon Symphony winter concerts, Feb. 20-22, as well as interactive and educational components.

The best birthday present is to grow older every year Dear Abby: “49 and Holding” (Dec. 5), who doesn’t want her daughter to give her a 50th birthday party, needs to grow up and learn to celebrate life instead of hiding from the fact that she’s growing older. She is aging because she’s alive — and what a blessing that is.

I lived through the worst years of the AIDS epidemic and witnessed the deaths of more than 200 friends — all of whom would have loved to celebrate a 50th birthday. My mother died at 82 and was grateful for every year, as am I. Life’s milestones warrant a party. Those who don’t want to celebrate life and the birthdays that come with it should consider the alternative.

— Bruce C., Atlanta Dear Bruce: My readers agreed that “Holding” should quit whining and enjoy life because everyone isn’t so fortunate. Growing old is a gift, and it sure does beat the alternative! Read on: Dear Abby: Sorry, 50 is NOT the new 30. Fifty is 50! One of the reasons “Holding” may have issues with aging is this obsession with youth. Youth is definitely transitory, but that doesn’t mean one’s health, beauty and vibrancy vanish. “Holding” has every right to feel as she does, but I hope she won’t continue sitting on the sidelines of life.

By the way, I’ll be celebrating my 51st birthday in a few days. My daughter is taking me to Las Vegas to paint the town … not red (too youthful) but crimson. You definitely DO get better as you age!

— Jacqueline W., Chandler, Ariz.

Dear Abby: I admit that I felt much as “Holding” did until my sister told me that, for her, turning 50 was an exceptionally freeing experience. It’s true. At that age, I realized I wasn’t going to be the CEO of the company I worked for, that I had a job I enjoyed, that my family was there for me in whatever I chose to pursue, and that there were places on this planet I wanted to visit (and have). I have found it Serving Central Oregon Since 1946

DEAR ABBY difficult finding a downside to being 50.

Age is in your head, Abby. I’ve met 10-year-olds who are eons past 50, and 70-year-olds who are as curious, inquisitive and active as people far younger. So I say, go for it proudly.

— Past 50 And Fabulous Dear Abby: Everyone regards aging differently, but why be depressed over something you can’t control? When I turned 50, I decided I could either be depressed and drink myself silly or celebrate the milestone.

I declared to my family, friends and co-workers that it was my year and my goal was to do 50 things I had never done before — or hadn’t done in a long time. I reconnected with neglected friends, went on my first cruise, stayed in a haunted hotel. While I didn’t quite make it to 50 things (I made it to 30), it was fun trying, and everyone had a blast in the process.

— 50-plus and Dealing With It Dear Abby: At 36 I was diagnosed with cancer. My son was only 5. As radiation treatments pulsed through my body in the hope of giving me more life, I wondered if those would be his last memories of me.

Fast forward 13 years. I am 49 and holding — with one major difference. I look forward to each and every birthday. In a few months, I’ll turn 50. And do you know what looks even better than my 50th birthday? My 60th!

Birthdays are a celebration of life, a reminder that we have the good fortune to be with the people who mean the most to us.

Is Food A Problem For You?

Our great diversity Henry Louis Gates Jr. branches out in ‘Faces of America’

F irst of a four-part series airing every Wednesday night.

When: 8 p.m. Wednesday Where: OPB

By Roger Catlin The Hartford Courant

By Eric Deggans St. Petersburg Times

He wants to talk about “Faces of America,” his bold new PBS series tracing the earliest origins of family histories for 12 celebrities, including Stephen Colbert, Eva Longoria, Yo Yo Ma and Meryl Streep.

But Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. knows he won’t get through an interview without also talking about the incident that made him a household name last summer. He was arrested for disorderly conduct after an emotional confrontation with a police officer responding to a call about a suspected burglary at his home.

A brief comment from President Barack Obama, “Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home,” turned a controversial arrest into a battle over racial profiling, reverse racism and left/right political battles.

Ask this lifelong teacher whether we all learned anything from any of it, and he doesn’t sound optimistic.

“I would hope people learn about the arbitrariness of the disorderly conduct charge; so many black men end up in longer jail terms because, when they actually do something serious, they have that

on their record,” he said. “We need a massive study of that charge of disorderly conduct. I don’t think it’s a fair charge.”

Working on “Faces of America,” a successor to his series, “African American Lives,” became a bit of therapy for Gates. He traced the history of poet and professor Elizabeth Alexander, who is black, back to European monarch Charlemagne, sometime around mid-700 A.D. Hiring genealogists and historians to pore through records and using DNA analysis, Gates discovered Longoria and Ma had a common ancestor hundreds of years ago, as did Streep and renowned director Mike Nichols. More importantly, he discovered the endless stories of immigration filling the family histories of all Americans.

“America has a long history of discriminating against newcomers,” he said. “Whoever comes in a big, big wave is the enemy, whether it’s the Irish, the Italians, the Chinese or the Mexicans. They’ve all been seen as the enemy. But what makes us great is our diversity.”

Debuting Wednesday night on OPB, Gates’ four-part series airs at 8 p.m. each week for four weeks, carrying a welcome message about shared history, struggle and achievement during Black History Month.

Q: A:

What was the most surprising lesson from all the family histories?

No matter what the law demands people do in the daytime, when the lights came down, everybody was sleeping with everybody else (laughs). I kept thinking to myself, “Wasn’t this illegal back then?” (But) we are all descended from common ancestors from Africa so sooner or later, you’re sleeping with your cousin.

Q:

Is it possible you’re seeing such great stories in the celebrities’ families because we want to believe they are all exceptional?

We’re just trying to find interesting stories most of these people were peasants who came to America in search of opportunity and had a really tough time. Rich people don’t migrate, man.

A:

Q: A:

Can a series like this help us understand race and culture a little better?

I hope it helps in two ways: by showing that none of us is pure. America genetically is as diverse as diverse can get. And this series has shown there’s just as much mystery and ignorance about the family past for people of every ethnicity, not just African-Americans.”

Bob Dylan will play the White House this week as part of a concert marking the Civil Rights movement.

Morgan Freeman and Queen Latifah will host “In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music from Bob Dylan the Civil Rights Movement” on Wednesday, a show that will be broadcast at 11 p.m.

Feb. 22 on OPB. Other performers at the event will include Jennifer Hudson, Seal, Smokey Robinson, Natalie Cole, John Legend, John Mellencamp and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

But it will be the appearance of Dylan that will be most notable.

Dylan, who was given a Kennedy Center Award in 1997 (where he didn’t sing), notably sang “Only a Pawn in their Game” and “When the Ship Comes In” at the Washington, D.C., rally where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech in August 1963.

He also sang “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” about the murder of Medgar Evers, at a smaller rally in Greenwood, Miss., earlier that year in a performance that became part of his film “Don’t Look Back.”

What will he play before President Barack Obama? Maybe something like “Blowing in the Wind” or “The Times They Are A-Changing.”

“The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly points across the table at “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on the set of the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Feb. 3.

In visit on O’Reilly’s show, Jon Stewart faults Fox News

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

Jon Stewart, who already had a reputation for lobbing word grenades at media personalities and outlets that displease him, this week delivered one of the most sustained criticisms of Fox News ever heard on Fox News.

That network, lambasted by many on the left as an arm of the conservative movement, is a “cyclonic perpetual emotion machine” that has “taken reasonable concerns about this president and this economy and turned it into a full-fledged panic about the next coming of Chairman Mao,” Stewart told Bill O’Reilly of Fox. Parts of the interview were shown Feb. 3 and 4 on Fox News’ most popular program, “The O’Reilly Factor,” and were widely praised by television critics.

But Stewart had a lot more to say about Fox in the portions of the interview that were edited out of the television broadcast.

The exchanges are notable because Stewart, the host of “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, has occasionally strayed beyond his comedy roots into serious media criticism and drawn great attention for doing so. On “Crossfire” on CNN in 2004, he claimed the left-right debate format was “hurting America,” three months before the program was canceled. Last year he took aim at CNBC for being Wall Street cheerleaders, telling Jim Cramer, the host of its “Mad Money” program, that “the financial news industry is not just guilty of a sin of omission but a sin of commission.”

This week, invited onto “The O’Reilly Factor” by its host, O’Reilly, Stewart asserted that Fox News was “the most passionate and sells the clearest narrative of any news organization,” then asked with a smirk, “Are you still referring to it in that manner?”

O’Reilly defended Fox as a news organization and cited a poll last month by the Public Policy Polling organization that showed Fox News was more widely trusted than any other television news organization.

Stewart said Fox News had been able to “mainstream conservative talk radio.”

On television Wednesday night, the exchange ended there.

But in the studio, Stewart swung harder, saying Fox had mixed the “media arm of a political party” with “a little bit” of objectivity, something that White House officials have also asserted in recent months.

Fox News said the interview was edited only for time. A video of the unedited interview was posted on BillOReilly.com and on FoxNews.com.

In the interview and in a subsequent segment, O’Reilly said Stewart was basing his complaints “primarily on two guys, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.”

But Stewart insisted that the conservative bent permeated the network and cited “Fox & Friends,” the network’s entertainment-oriented morning show, as evidence: “They’ll go through, ‘These children in second grade are singing the praises of Obama!

Do you know they sing the praises of their leader in North Korea?’ And then, when the hard news comes on, they say, ‘Some people are concerned that they are indoctrinating children.’”

Fox News, far and away the most-watched cable news channel, has stoked controversy (and higher ratings) in the first year of the Obama administration by appearing, at times, to be the network of the opposition.

In a segment cut from television, Stewart said: “Fox News used to be all about: ‘You don’t criticize a president during war time. It’s unacceptable. It’s treasonous. It’s giving aid and comfort to the enemy.’ All of a sudden, for some reason, you can run out there and say Barack Obama is destroying the fabric of this country.”

O’Reilly disagreed, saying the network had been respectful to Obama about the Afghanistan troop deployment decision.

In another segment cut from television, Stewart, asked whether he thought Fox was “set up solely to provide aid and comfort to the Republican Party and the conservative movement,” replied: “That’s right. That’s right.”

Then he added, “And to make some money.”

O’Reilly said on his program on Thursday: “It was interesting to hear Mr. Stewart put forth that Fox News is in business to help Republicans. I rebutted that, and you can decide who had the stronger argument.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010: This year, you shake up the tree of your life and update it to reflect the person you are right now. Many times we forget how much life has to offer. We forget to revise our goals to reflect the changing person. The more often you touch base with your needs, the more successful this year will be. Your finances could swing wildly, hopefully to the plus side.

If you are single, you make waves wherever you go. Just check out a new suitor more carefully. Is he or she the person he or she projects? If you are attached, you’ll grow and become much closer because of time away together.

CAPRICORN reads you cold.

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 Step up to the plate and get ready to move past a difficult associate or partner. This person has a lot of negativity right now and cannot help the way he or she looks at various situations at the moment. Your instincts guide you with a higher-up.

Tonight: Go till the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for others. Make time to complete a difficult project and simultaneously schedule extra time for a loved one or friend who is close to you.

Give yourself the space to take a leap of faith. Tonight: Understand what is going on by detaching.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might want to work directly with a partner on an individual level. You might find that your creativity is somewhat less than dynamic.

Listen to what others share, but specifically a key partner.

Tonight: Sort out your options.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Evaluate news that comes out when dealing with a child or loved one. Creativity could be stymied by a family member. Be careful with spending, especially as you are likely to take out your anger this way. Tonight: Your treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your actions speak louder than your words. Let another person follow through on what he or she knows will work. Listen to news about a project with an eye to revising the basis of a surrounding agreement. Tonight: Having fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your imagination goes haywire. You might debate just how much you would like to share with someone you care about who is very close. Be sensitive to the possibilities that surround a child or new friend.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might want to move mountains and do something very differently. However, the basics do count, and you might need to give more time to a family member. Do a better job of listening and sharing.

Tonight: Don’t push too hard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might want to understand what is happening within a conversation. Juggle the pros and cons of a situation.

Know what works for you, but also discover what another’s needs are. Tonight: Hanging out is fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Intrinsically, you head in a new direction and do something very different. You might wonder about your choices. A friend or meeting blocks one of your ideas.

Trust that it might be for the better.

Tonight: Where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your vision could change, as you seem to be running into difficult people with very different ideas. A positive attitude and a brainstorming session point to a new direction. You might wonder why you didn’t see this opportunity before. Tonight: As you like.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Know when to take a back seat or not insist on playing the same role. You could be baffled by everything that is happening, and quite quickly at that. You could be rethinking a situation more carefully, as you have more facts.

Tonight: Get as much R and R as you can … you are going to need it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want without worrying about the pros and cons of a situation.

Working with people, meetings and networking will be successful.

You do better with others.

Tonight: A must appearance. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Adult friends are tougher to make

Like Continued from E1 Before Nye brought it up, Lauren says she hadn’t really paid much attention to it. “I didn’t really notice how much we actually say it just by like talking normally until she pointed it out.

And then you really start to pay attention to the people that are talking and be like ‘Oh, they just said “like” a lot.’”

The word can become entrenched. Lauren said, “I try as hard as I can, like, I tried … Oh I just did it! But I try to stop myself before I say it, but sometimes I just get going.”

Use of the word “like” as a sentence filler came to prominence with airheaded valley girls of the 1980s. Those who want a full dose of the teen speak can watch the movie “Valley Girl.” (Direct quote from the movie’s ditsy protagonist: “Like he’s got the bod, but his brains are bad news.”)

“Like” is the cousin to other filler words of such as “totally” and “whatever.”

Jennifer Dailey-O’Cain, a linguist researcher from the University of Alberta, has studied the use of the word “like” and found that it has many uses, according to an article in The Edmonton Journal.

One use of the word is called a discourse marker and indicates to listeners they should focus on the next phrase in a sentence (“Saying ‘like’ so much makes me sound like totally lame.”) The word can also be used as an estimate (“I say the word like 100 times a day.”) Another usage is as a substitute for the word “says” (“He was like, ‘What’s with all these people saying “like”?’”) or as a way to share inner thoughts (“I was like, why am I saying this word so much?”).

In an essay in The New York Times, language writer Patricia O’Conner says “Parents may gnash their teeth, but language scholars like like.” She goes on to say, “I’m convinced that this is a useful, even ingenious, addition to informal spoken English. But let’s be honest. For now, at least, it smacks of incorrectness to a great many people.”

Sophomore Kyle Lammers never realized how much he said “like” before the resolution started. He still says the word but tries to catch himself. “It improves your speech a lot, for sure. I noticed that with me. I’m not like.

See, I just did it again. I’m not trying to fill in with ‘like’ all the time and I think of other words.”

By Kristi L. Gustafson Albany Times Union

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Bend High School teacher Lisa Nye, top left, talks to her students during class at Bend High School on Thursday morning.

“I’m convinced that this is a useful, even ingenious, addition to informal spoken English.

But let’s be honest. For now, at least, it smacks of incorrectness to a great many people.”

— Excerpt from an essay by language writer Patricia O’Conner

Kyle wants to stop saying the word so he’ll sound more intelligent. “You kind of look, like, uneducated saying ‘like,’ trying to fill in the space. It’s better just to like pause and think. Instead of saying ‘like.’”

Nye isn’t punishing students who use the word or rewarding those who omit it but just hoping to put more focus on the term.

Sophomore Tom Steelhammer thinks the attention is working.

“In class it’s funny to watch everyone look at you weird when you say the word ‘like.’”

Kyle agrees. “We always correct each other (and) say that you said ‘like.’ And then Ms. Nye like stares at you and ‘Oh, what did I do? Oh, I said ‘like.’”

Sophomore Kacey Cockerill thinks saying ‘like’ is stereotyped as being girlie, but a lot of guys say it, too. She would like to see the movement spread throughout the school. “I’m really excited about this resolution; it’s going to be good for us.”

She sees it as utter filler with no purpose. “You say it when

you don’t know what to say when you’re trying to describe something. And I’ve caught myself doing that. And I’m old-fashioned, so I wish I didn’t say that at all.”

Nye has noticed that the students who use ‘like’ the most are less likely to be aware they are using it. Nye hopes this exercise will help her students learn to sound more professional when they speak. To that end, she doesn’t think other speech fillers such as “um” or “uh” are any better. “It becomes a filler because they’re speaking so fast. I encourage them to think about what they’re going to say and then say it.” Nye tells her students that it’s OK to have a pause or silence, and it’s better to be deliberate in what they are saying.

Not all of the students in Nye’s class are in favor of eliminating the word altogether.

Sophomore Maryn Beutler thinks reducing “like” is a good goal but thinks using “like” is also how Americans talk. “It makes us who we are, I guess.”

Sophomore Zoe Kilmer agrees.

“We’ve grown up saying it.” But sometimes she thinks people say the word too much. “It takes up, like, space in your sentences.”

But most of the time Zoe doesn’t focus on the word when other people are speaking.

“When I hear someone say ‘like,’ I’m not like, ‘Oh my god, your grammar is bad.’”

Sometimes Maryn thinks the word can be overused. “If you actually listen to someone and like count how many times they say ‘like’ in their sentences, you’re like, ‘Holy cow that was so many times!’”

But Maryn also thinks the word serves a purpose. “If they’re just saying it every once in awhile, it’s not that big of a deal. And sometimes you use ‘like’ to like pause, like. Like, like that. Because you don’t know what to say and then you say ‘like’ and then you think about it for a second.”

Zoe and Maryn think “like” is better to use than the alternatives “um” or “uh.” “Also the word ‘like’ makes your sentences flow better,” said Maryn.

Zoe agrees, saying, “It just flows, it’s not like,” and then they pause and laugh because Zoe just used the word.

“I know!” said Maryn. “You can’t stop. It’s just part of us.”

Concert Continued from E1 “Our assumption is that (the kids attending) have never been to see an orchestra live. They may not even be familiar with the instruments in a tangible way,” Gesme said.

Gesme will introduce instruments and sections so youngsters can hear the individual components of the orchestra. He’ll also try to help kids make a connection between the music they see being played on stage and the music they hear every day.

“We’ll talk about the pieces we’re going to play,” Gesme said, and “We’ll say, ‘This is how you get the sounds you hear in the background of movies.’”

Gesme said he also plans to explain the action on stage that may be confusing to first-time concertgoers.

“Who is that person, and why do they come out and get a bow by themselves?” he said.

“The whole goal for me (is) I want all of those attendees, adults and kids, to know there is not a barrier that has been put up between the stage and the audience. We absolutely do feed off the energy in the audience.”

The interactive aspect will be heightened with activities like clapping or stomping games.

Danielle Purdy, executive director of the Central Oregon Symphony Association, said the show should be an energetic, good time.

“We want people to know we’re going to make it fun,” she said.

Purdy often receives notes from symphony attendees after performances telling her how much they enjoyed Gesme’s audience rapport, and she thinks his personality will connect with kids as well.

ALBANY, N.Y. — A friend and I were talking about being acquaintance-rich, but friend-poor.

Several of my blog readers have mentioned being in similar situations. Rachel, from Albany, is one of them. She’s 31 and struggles to make friends. She has acquaintances at work but has lost touch with many of her childhood and college companions.

A lack of friends makes her feel lonely and incomplete.

Rachel asked that we not use her last name because, well, no matter how old we get — or how mature we are — we still associate a large quantity of friends with popularity, and a lack of friends as shameful.

While I understand where readers are coming from, it’s important not to feel bad about yourself if your circle of genuine friends doesn’t mirror the number on your Facebook or Twitter page.

There are benefits to having a small group. Primarily, you all know one another really well, are there for each other and aren’t overextended.

Irina Firstein, a clinical social worker based in New York City who deals mostly with 30-somethings, says several factors play into friendship being a dying art. Today’s culture pushes young people to strive for career success and acquire things. Friendships often are not considered as valuable, she says. By chasing a career and financial success, not as much time and energy is left to cultivate and nurture friendships.

But that doesn’t mean we should choose careers over people. Especially in adulthood, friendships are crucial, Firstein says. Between relationships, family, finances and, yes, careers, life gets more complicated, and it is important to have support and a sounding board to deal with its challenges.

Imagine going through a divorce, or a job loss, and having no one to turn to. Sure, your close friends will always be there to listen, or to meet you

for a glass of wine. But it’s nice to have a wider circle of friends, each with their own specialities.

Example: You’ve got the friend you turn to when you want a guys night out; the one who always gives no-frills advice and the friend with whom you can trust with your deepest secrets. No one person needs to have all of those qualities, nor should they. Variety is important to happiness.

Other than childhood, the 30s are the years in which many people struggle with friendships. Unlike in college, where friendships are natural and organic, real-world relationships take more effort and are less natural, Firstein says.

Firstein regularly tells her patients that “people who make phone calls, get phone calls. Don’t sit and wait for someone else to make a move. Be the one to do it first.”

In their 30s, people meet friends through other people, at work, and through interests and hobbies. It is important also to maintain friendships with old friends, even if they live in another city, as this prevents your circle from shrinking. When you meet someone you like, in whatever situation, reach out and make the first contact. Always be open.

Basically, building friendships is no different from fostering a romantic relationship.

Sometimes you even sit around wondering: “Did they have as much fun as I did,” or “Will she call/text/e-mail”?

Speaking of technology, that can actually hinder adult friendships, says Firstein. Thirty-somethings rely so heavily on technology (how many do you know who don’t own a BlackBerry?), there is a decrease in “real connection” time. Just as you can’t date entirely online, friendships cannot be sustained solely from behind a computer screen. You need to go out, be in the same room, have shared experiences.

But that doesn’t mean you need to pack your calendar seven nights a week. Balance is important. Just as you can have too few friends, you can also have too many. And that can result in focusing so little on each person in your life, they all end up fading away. And then you’re back where you started.

“He is so funny. His humor, I think, is very accessible,” she said.

“Michael, in a way, he’s a celebrity in the music community.

I know a lot of people. They love

the little banter on the stage that he does. I think that’s just a big part of Michael’s presence.”

Purdy also said she hopes this concert is the first in what becomes an ongoing series, and she’s happy it’s in honor of a woman who was such an important part of the music community in the region.

“I think, Virginia, she would have loved this.”

Less stuff, more fun Declutter and organize with author and TLC host Peter Walsh

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

Look around your house. Do you like what you see? Do you feel relaxed, nurtured and at home?

Or maybe you fantasize about clean countertops and floors, clothes closets that only contain items that fit you and that you love to wear, photos in albums, important papers filed and available at

a moment’s notice and kids’ toys neatly stored in bins. If so, you’re not alone.

A lot of us have too much stuff that we don’t need, use HO or want in our homes. But we’re not sure what to do with it all. We have emotional attachments to some of it, and we store other items for future use.

So the feeling we get when we open

the front door is stress, not serenity.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Peter Walsh’s mission in M E life is to lead us out of the clutter and into the clear.

He’s the charming but firm Australian/American dual citizen who many of us first met on TLC’s “Clean Sweep” television program, cleaning up a lot of messy, middle-

class homes that usually had garages so full of stuff that they’d never sheltered a car.

Author of The New York Times best-seller “It’s All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff” and its DVD version, Walsh is also a regular contributor to “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

By Alison Highberger • For The Bulletin It’s easy to make reservations at a restaurant for a romantic dinner for two. But this Valentine’s Day, or anytime you feel like a little alone time with your sweetheart, consider creating a special table for two at home.

We checked in with celebrity party planner and New York City-based event expert David Stark for some dinner planning and table-setting ideas, and consulted three Central Oregon couples to find out what they like to cook for a romantic dinner at home. Follow their lead, and Valentine’s Day could be a lot more fun.

“News flash from AAS” was the message that popped up when I checked my e-mail recently. I was certainly curious; I had already learned GAR of and written about the new variety winners for 2010, as chosen by the independent garden research organization All America Selections.

The big news was that the policy for the All-America Selec-

tions changed, and four more flowers were added to the list of top performers — plus one fruit.

The change in policy will improve the system of getting the new varieties from the D E N seed developers to the marketplace. In some cases in the past, it has taken several years for the public to enjoy the varieties in their own backyard. The new system should speed up that process.

This year, it may be more diffi-

cult to find a seed source than in future years, according to AAS spokesperson Marcie Zorn. Seed companies require six months to publish a catalog, so the catalogs you started receiving in December probably won’t have the varieties.

Online catalogs are constantly updated and would be the better choice this year. Zorn suggested checking the online catalogs for Harris Seeds, Park Seeds, Burpee, Stoke Seeds or Twilley Seed.

COVER STORY GOAT CHEESE FONDUE Serves 2.

1 TBS chopped garlic 1 tsp olive oil 1 C sauvignon blanc white wine (cheap) 1 tsp fresh lemon juice 2 C plain goat cheese (see note) ½ C firm artisan goat cheese, grated 1 tsp cornstarch ½ tsp kosher salt (or more if you prefer) Fresh ground pepper to taste Serve with: red pepper strips, blanched French green beans, blanched asparagus or green apple slices.

Place garlic and olive oil in a 2-quart pot and place on medium high heat.

Stir garlic until it turns golden brown, then add the white wine and lemon and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering mixture for 2-3 minutes.

Reduce heat to low, add plain goat cheese and allow to melt for 5 minutes without stirring. Add artisan goat cheese, and slowly mix until incorporated.

In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water, then add to cheese mixture.

Keep on low heat until desired thickness (do not boil).

Add salt and pepper to taste, and place it in a fondue pot.

Note: This fondue can be made with any mild cheese, such as white cheddar or Parmigiano Reggiano. Our favorite artisan goat cheese is Midnight Moon from Cypress Grove, but Gouda or pecorino work very well too.

— Chef Steve Helt of Bend’s 28 and Zydeco restaurants

Romantic Continued from F1 “First and foremost, a way to make it fun and surprising is to not dine at your kitchen or dining room table,” Stark continued, in a phone interview from his office in Brooklyn.

He suggested having a picnic on a blanket on the floor, or dining on a sun porch that may have beautiful plants.

“Take your partner/spouse/lover/girlfriend/boyfriend to a place in the house where they wouldn’t expect to dine. Take a little folding table for two and set a gorgeous dinner table in your bed-

To allow your valentine to find the secret dining spot, Stark suggested leaving a trail of notes.

“Send your sweetheart on a scavenger hunt throughout the house, leaving little clues of your love that will lead them directly to where the dining table is,” Stark said.

He said this could start early in the day with Post-it love notes all over the house in unexpected locations: in shoes, under the kitchen counter where your love would find it when putting something in the trash, or in the car.

MAURA AND DREW BLEDSOE Maura Bledsoe and husband Drew laugh at their kids while standing in their kitchen.

The Bledsoes have been married for 13 years, and always celebrate Valentine’s Day a day or two late, since Feb. 14 is Drew’s birthday.

thinking of them,” Stark said.

Dessert is often a big deal on Valentine’s Day. It can be simple or fancy, and Stark said dessert can do double duty as a centerpiece at home.

“Let’s say you splurge on some gorgeous pastry or cake or tart from the most special bakery in town. Put that on a beautiful cake stand, and let that be your centerpiece. The other thing you can do is have what looks like a beautiful wrapped present on the table, and then at dessert time you lift it up and reveal dessert underneath. It’s a big surprise,” Stark said.

There are four days left until Valentine’s Day. The restaurants will be busy, so maybe a quiet dinner full of surprises at home would be just the thing to show your love.

Stark said if you’re short on time and cooking skills, it’s okay to get takeout food you love and plate it on your most beautiful china.

But for those who enjoy cooking, a homemade romantic meal at home may be just the thing.

Chef Steve Helt, owner of Bend restaurants 28 (920 Bond St.) and Zydeco Kitchen + Cocktails (919 Bond St.) with his wife of 17 years, Cheri, provided a favorite goat cheese fondue appetizer

recipe for romantic meals.

“I like this recipe because sharing fondue is always interactive and romantic,” said Cheri.

The Helts always have a busy night at their two restaurants on Valentine’s Day, so Cheri Helt said she and Steve have a little private celebration after they close up for the night.

“We usually do chocolatedipped strawberries and champagne after work,” she said. This year, Cheri will hold off on the champagne since she’s expecting a baby in June, to join their other children, Harrison and Madeline.

The Helts keep the romance alive in their marriage by planning romantic dinners for two at home, or dining out together.

Cheri said they gravitate toward small plates of food to share, much like the dining style of their restaurant, 28, which features a large variety of appetizers.

“We really enjoy sharing small plates. I think that’s a little bit more intimate — sharing food and talking about each dish,” she said.

Bob “Have a sparkling day” Shaw, chief meteorologist and community affairs director for News Channel 21, shared a marinated flank steak recipe he likes to make for his wife, Cheryl.

Cooking is one of Shaw’s pas-

sions, so he rounded out the meal for us with his instructions for grilled asparagus and herb stirfried rice.

Bob Shaw said his teriyaki flank steak is always a hit and makes a great special-occasion meal.

“The marinade is out of this world. The flank steak comes out incredibly tender and flavorful,” said Shaw.

As a busy two-career, empty nester couple (Cheryl Shaw is an educational aide in the life skills department at Bend High School; their daughters are grown), eating dinner together at home is a pleasurable way to connect at the end of the day.

Bob said that even after almost 40 years together, they always enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day. “We try to do something sweet for each other, something thoughtful. It isn’t huge, but it’s not just another day. It’s another day to express our romance to each other,” Shaw said.

Dessert is courtesy of Maura Bledsoe, who loves to cook for her husband Drew, the former NFL quarterback, and their kids, Stuart, 12, John, 10, Henry, 9, and Healy, 6.

The Bledsoes have been married for 13 years, and always celebrate Valentine’s Day a day

Sprinkle the brown sugar on a saucer. Dip one cut side of each banana slice in the sugar and place the slices, sugar side up, on a baking sheet. Using a kitchen torch, heat the sugar until it melts and begins to caramelize. If you don’t have a torch, place the bananas, sugar side up, under the broiler for just a few minutes. Watch carefully, as the sugar can burn quickly. Place the ice cream scoops in a large shallow dessert bowl and top with the warmed caramel and hot fudge sauces. Add the bananas, strawberries and nuts. Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately. If you are cooking for more than two people, the recipe can easily be doubled.

or two late, since February 14 is Drew’s birthday.

He turns 38 on Sunday, and Drew told us he’s good with that.

“Maura’s nice enough to always make the 14th my birthday. I still feel and act like I’m 18, so, you know, it’s just a number,” Drew said.

The Bledsoes said they aren’t big dessert eaters, but they’ll make an exception for special occasions. Maura shared an easy and decadent ice cream dessert they like.

This year another special item will be on the Bledsoes’ birthday/ Valentine menus. They’re looking forward to opening a bottle of their own cabernet wine. It’s Doubleback, the first vintage from their Walla Walla, Wash., vineyard.

F TERIYAKI FLANK STEAK From News Channel 21 meteorologist Bob Shaw, this is a nice meal when eaten together — flank steak, grilled asparagus and stir-fried rice.

1 lb flank steak, sliced into serving-size pieces For the marinade: 1 C soy sauce ½ C olive oil Juice of 1 lime Hot sauce (Thai or Cholula) to taste 3-4 TBS sesame seeds 2 TBS brown sugar Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Put the slices of flank steak into a large zip-top plastic bag, pour in the marinade, squeeze out the air and seal. Put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, turning every hour.

Remove steak from the marinade, spray with cooking spray on both sides and grill to preferred temperature and wellness over a hot charcoal fire. When the steak is done, remove it to a plate and grill the asparagus.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS Asparagus for two (about 12 spears), trimmed, washed and dried 1½ TBS olive oil ½ tsp granulated garlic Put the asparagus in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with granulated garlic.

Turn until well coated. When steak is done, grill the asparagus, turning it frequently until it’s al dente. (A nice addition to the asparagus is grilled fresh pineapple and cold raspberries.)

HERB STIR-FRIED RICE

Rise of the romaine empire The popularity of Caesar salads plucked the lettuce from obscurity

ROMAINE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE, BACON & RADISHES

By Russ Parsons Los Angeles Times

A lot of times when food writers praise an old-fashioned ingredient such as romaine lettuce, they do it with a nod and a wink and more than a hint of condescension, like fashion critics chortling when a Parisian couture house sends its models out dressed in gingham and lace — “Oh, how very droll!”

Not me. If food is good, it’s good, and fashion be damned.

And romaine is good.

Don’t get me wrong, I like my fancy mesclun-style lettuces as much as anyone — I’ve got a full bed of them in my garden, and I trot out to cut my salad greens in the evening just as happily as any other Alice Waters acolyte.

Those fancier lettuces have a vivid mix of flavors that I love.

(I’ve got one Asian mustard that is hot as horseradish.)

But romaine has something they lack — crunch. And sometimes crunch counts. Those mixed lettuces are terrific with good olive oil, a squirt of lemon juice and a sprinkling of sea salt.

But if you’re looking at a salad with more heft, a real American salad, you need a lettuce with some structural integrity.

Want a wedge of something to go under a creamy blue cheese dressing (lots of black pepper please!)? How about a classic Green Goddess, redolent of anchovies, chives and tarragon?

And, of course, you shouldn’t even think of a Caesar without picking up a head of romaine.

Indeed, it was this last salad that sparked the rebirth of romaine lettuce and one of the more remarkable turnarounds in modern agricultural history.

Romaine lettuce has been around for centuries. In fact, Egyptian tomb art depicts a lettuce that looks quite like it. In England, it’s sometimes known as cos lettuce, allegedly because it was brought from the Aegean island of that name. The name romaine comes because it was supposedly introduced to France when the pope moved from Rome to Avignon in the 14th century.

2-3 C cooked white basmati rice 1 small bunch cilantro, washed and minced 1 med onion, diced 1 med red bell pepper, minced 1 stalk of celery, sliced thin 4 TBS olive oil Cracked pepper and seasoned salt to taste

Hail, Caesar

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, pepper and celery until sweated, but not caramelized. Remove from skillet. Stir-fry the rice in 2 tablespoons of hot olive oil, and then add the sautéed vegetables, stirring continuously. Add cracked pepper and seasoned salt to taste. Remove from the heat and toss in a serving bowl with the minced cilantro.

— Bob Shaw, News Channel 21 meteorologist

But for much of the 20th century, romaine wasn’t known at all to many Americans. That’s because of the overwhelming success of iceberg, which can remain reliably crunchy (though incredibly bland) despite days if not weeks of shipping. As late as the mid1970s, iceberg lettuce accounted for more than 95 percent of all of the lettuce grown in this country.

Then along came the reborn Caesar salad. Invented in a Tijuana restaurant in the 1920s (which one is a subject of a bitter interfamilial dispute), for de-

Serves 6.

BLUE CHEESE DRESSING 1 TBS minced shallots 2 tsp red wine vinegar ½ C mayonnaise ¾ C crumbled blue cheese 2-3 TBS heavy cream Salt and fresh black pepper

Los Angeles Times

This version of a romaine salad has bacon, blue cheese dressing and radishes (see recipe at right). cades the Caesar kind of limped along in all of its garlicky glory as a California specialty.

Then, all of a sudden, in the late 1970s, it was “discovered” by the fast-food industry, often topped with very untraditional grilled chicken, and there followed a couple of decades of extremely heady popularity.

From almost nothing, by the mid-’90s, more than 16,000 acres of romaine were being grown.

By 2000 that had increased to more than 60,000 acres, and today it stands at more than 80,000.

That’s still about half of iceberg’s acreage, but especially considering the high percentage of iceberg that winds up on top of hamburgers, it’s pretty impressive.

(A couple of side notes: While the whole head is good enough for family dinners, if you want a little more elegance, trim the floppy outer leaves — save them for another meal, the compost or a bunny, if you have one — and serve just the pale crisp hearts.)

Dressed to thrill Almost anything that takes an American-style salad dressing should be built from romaine.

(Years ago, we had an Italian exchange student stay with us; the first time she was asked at a restaurant what kind of salad dressing she wanted, she was flabbergasted. “Oil, vinegar? How many kinds can there be?”)

Well, there’s blue cheese, of course. Mash crumbled cheese into mayonnaise along with some minced shallots, then stir in just enough cream to make it pourable. I think the real key to a great blue cheese dressing is lots of black pepper, but that’s just me.

My favorite way to use blue cheese dressing is my spin on a steakhouse staple: with crum-

ROMAINE SALAD WITH SHRIMP & GREEN GODDESS DRESSING Serves 6.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING 4 anchovy fillets, chopped 2 green onions, green parts only, finely chopped 1½ TBS chopped parsley

2 TBS chopped tarragon 2 TBS tarragon vinegar 2 TBS minced chives 1½ C mayonnaise

In a food processor or blender, purée the anchovies, green onions, parsley, tarragon, vinegar and chives, or grind with a mortar and pestle to make a fairly smooth paste. Stir the mixture into the mayonnaise. Refrigerate tightly covered. This will make just over 1½ cups dressing, more than enough for the salad.

SALAD ASSEMBLY 3 (6-oz) hearts of romaine ½ lb cooked, peeled and deveined medium shrimp

3 TBS watercress leaves Green Goddess dressing

Pull away any tough or faded outer leaves from the romaine, then separate the heads into individual leaves and combine in a mixing bowl.

Place the shrimp in another small mixing bowl with the watercress leaves, and add just enough Green Goddess dressing to lightly coat, about 2 tablespoons.

Spoon about one-half cup of the remaining Green Goddess dressing over the romaine and toss, adding more dressing 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to lightly coat the leaves.

Arrange the romaine on six chilled salad plates, then arrange the shrimp and watercress on top and serve immediately. bled bacon and thinly sliced radishes over romaine.

Or what about homemade Green Goddess dressing? If you’ve only had store bought, you’re in for a surprise. A well-made Green Goddess is one of the great flavored mayonnaises — tangy with anchovy and brightened by lots of fresh herbs: parsley, chives and, especially, tarragon.

Because of this, I find it is a great sauce to pair with seafood and chicken. Shrimp, for example, with some torn watercress leaves mixed in just for a bit of a peppery bite. On top of romaine, of course.

And romaine is also good treated like radicchio: grilled and served with a slightly chunky dressing of anchovies and garlic puréed with olive oil. Scatter the top with toasted walnuts and graceful ribbons of shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, and, finally, you’ve got a romaine salad even my little Italian friend would recognize.

In a small mixing bowl, macerate the shallots in the red wine vinegar until they soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise and blue cheese, and stir roughly with a fork, mashing any large clumps of cheese with the tines of the fork. Stir in just enough heavy cream to make a slightly creamy consistency; the dressing will be very thick. Add salt to taste; because blue cheese can be quite salty, it might not need any. Stir in a generous grinding of black pepper, and refrigerate tightly covered. Let warm slightly, and stir briskly before serving.

SALAD ASSEMBLY 6 strips thick sliced bacon 3 (6-oz) hearts of romaine 3-4 lg radishes, sliced as thin as possible In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until it is browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. If there are any pale spots left on the first side, turn it again and cook briefly so that the bacon is well-browned and quite crisp.

Drain on paper towels.

Pull away any tough or faded outer leaves from the romaine, then separate the heads into individual leaves and combine in a large mixing bowl.

Spoon over about one-half cup of the blue cheese dressing and toss, adding more dressing 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to lightly coat the leaves.

Arrange the romaine on six chilled salad plates, then crumble the bacon over top and scatter the sliced radishes over everything. Serve immediately.

COVER STORY

Declutter

Room function chart 1. Discuss the function of each room with all family members.

2. Talk about what the family needs most.

3. Identify activity zones and decide what can fit in the space comfortably and therefore what stays and what goes.

Continued from F1 Walsh combines practical decluttering and organizing advice — such as his new line of paper organizing products from Office Max called the In Place System — with emotional insight into why we hold onto so many things and how that holds us back.

He has a step-by-step plan in his book for rethinking life goals in conjunction with decluttering home and work spaces.

“I define ‘clutter’ as anything that gets between you and the life you want to be living. The most obvious stuff is the crap on the floor in your house or the kitchen counter or all those clothes or the boxes in the garage,” he said in a phone interview from his office in Los Angeles.

On the “Oprah” show in January, Walsh moved in with a family that was disconnected because parents and children were preoccupied with their computers, cell phones and other electronics.

While he helped them organize their home’s rooms, he banned all electronics for the week. Family members inevitably communicated more and grew closer.

“Clutter can be resentment or negative self-image or childhood trauma. In the case of this family, it was all the electronic stuff that clearly got between the family members in their home. And so for me, it was so much fun because it really just highlighted the much broader definition of clutter.

And you know, I’ve always said it’s never about the stuff. Never,” Walsh said.

Walsh makes the point that getting organized and being able to always find your keys (or bills or other important things that frequently get lost in the mess) will help you live a less stressful, happier and more focused life.

His system for cleaning up and paring down doesn’t involve purchasing a lot of storage boxes, baskets or expensive new furniture.

A box of trash bags, a pencil and paper, and a little soul searching is all it takes to get started in Walsh’s world. (See “Trash Bag Tango” and sample “Room function chart” from his book, both at right.)

If one of your resolutions for 2010 was to get more organized at home, Walsh may have a game plan that’ll help clean up your house and change your life, too.

Q: A:

What’s a good way to start organizing at home?

The very first step in getting organized is not to focus on the stuff, but to start by asking, “What do I want from my life, from this space, from this room, from this relationship, from this job?” That’s the first step in getting organized. (See sample room function chart.)

The second step is, if you’re in a relationship with someone and you don’t honor and respect that person, the relationship goes sour very quickly, we all know that. It’s exactly the same

Everything a child needs to learn in life about being a responsible human being can be learned from his or her toy bins, says Peter Walsh: Give to charity. Don’t be materialistic. Put your things away.

And take care of the stuff you own.

with your space. If you don’t honor and respect the physical limitations of your space, your relationship with that space will sour very quickly. So, the second step is to acknowledge the limits of the space. If the space will hold only 20 books, you can only have 20 books. If it will only hold two bins of Christmas decorations, you can only have two bins. If your closet will only hold 15 hanging items, that’s all you can have.

The third big tip is, think of the process like using a washing machine. If you throw stuff into a washing machine and let it run for five minutes and then switch it off and come back in a week, you’re going to have a stinky, smelly, mildewy mess. Nobody does that. It’s exactly the same with the stuff in your house.

If you don’t complete the cycle, you’re going to end up with a mess in your house. So, if you eat on a plate and put it on the kitchen counter instead of wash it or put it in the dishwasher, you haven’t completed the cycle.

If you walk in the door with mail and throw it on the kitchen table rather than open it, discard the stuff you don’t’ need and put the rest into a place for mail, you haven’t completed the cycle.

If you take off clothing and leave it on the back of a chair rather than hang it up or put it in a hamper, you haven’t completed the cycle.

If you follow these three things: 1) Start with a vision; 2) Honor and respect your space; and 3) Complete the cycle — it will be a huge step to decluttering and staying organized. People look at me as if it’s magic, but it’s really a straightforward thing.

Q:

How about buying containers and organizing products to solve clutter problems?

I think that one of the problems is that when we think of solving a problem, we always thing of buying something to solve that problem, particularly if it has to do with stuff.

And when you start thinking about it, buying stuff to organize your stuff is a little strange.

So the best thing to do first is don’t start with more stuff. Start first with decluttering and purging stuff in your home so that the stuff you have fits into the space that you have. In most cases, I find that people don’t need to buy any more stuff to organize their stuff!

A:

Q:

Many of our homes in Central Oregon don’t have basements — how do you feel about storage units?

It comes back to accepting the limits of your space.

Look in your garage and decide how you want to use that space.

I want to have an area for sports gear, for example, or I want an area for holiday decorations, I have gardening equipment. You acknowledge the zones or the space or the functions in that room, allocate space for each of those, and then you keep like things together, and respect the limits of the amount of stuff you can have, and your garage will never get on top of you.

A:

Q:

How about deciding what to keep and what to get rid

of? Especially people who have retired — how to figure out what to keep from a busy family and work life?

The clutter that people have is generally in two broad types: “memory clutter” and “I might need it one day” clutter.

With memory clutter, it’s very easy to think everything is important, but when everything is important, I say nothing is important. So, with the memory stuff, pull out two or three things that have the strongest, most fun memory, things that make you smile. Frame them, display them, put them in a shadow box, hang them somewhere publicly in your home so that every time you look at those things, they make your heart sing, rather than feeling stressed by the fact that you have them all in boxes in the closet in the spare bedroom.

So pull out some items that represent that whole class of memories, display them with honor and respect, and you’ll be amazed at how it then becomes far less important to hold on to the rest of the stuff.

Why should we consider getting rid of stuff that might be useful in the future?

There’s no problem with preparing for the future.

That’s a great thing. The problem comes when the stuff you own ends up owning you. If the stuff you have — if preparing for the future — is impeding your ability to live a comfortable, relaxed, stress-free life today, then you need to invest more in the present than being concerned about the future.

Q: A:

What can busy parents do to contain kids’ clutter, especially toys?

I always say that kids need the obvious stuff: love, shelter, clothing, food. But the biggest thing that your kids need, I think, are limits and routines. You can teach your children every single thing they need to know about life from their toy bins.

From their earliest age, get one or two or four bins — however many toy bins fit reasonably into the space in their bedrooms that you want to allocate to toys. When the bins are full, before your child can add a toy, he or she has to get rid of a toy.

Work with the child to donate the toy to charity. Take them to Goodwill, and get them to talk to the people there about where the toys go. If you explain this concept of a limit — one in, one out — it teaches your kids the idea of decision making.

It teaches them a hierarchy of value. It teaches them to be aware of people less well off than themselves. It teaches them communication skills to talk to you. It teaches them that they can’t own everything.

And then they learn routines.

At the end of the day, your kids put their toys back in those bins.

That teaches them the idea of doing chores, contributing as a member of a household, being responsible for what they own, and see, all those lessons are not really about toys, they’re about living as a responsible, balanced, sensible person, and they’re great lessons that kids

I live fairly simply, actually. I travel a great deal. I’m not the crazy organizing guy! I live very simply because that’s the way I choose to live. I have a crappy memory, I lose stuff very easily. I hate dusting and cleaning, and so I don’t have a lot of stuff in my house that needs looking after because that’s not where I want to put my energy or my life. I’m very much about trying to travel, trying to have great experiences with friends and family. That’s where I put my energy rather than into buying stuff.

Next week: Faux houseplants You can take the doubt out of houseplants with fake options.

COVER STORY

All-America Continued from F1 So, without further ado, here are the additional All-America Selections chosen for top garden performance:

Echinacea “Pow-Wow Wild Berry” This flower was added to the list as an AAS Flower Award winner. Echinacea is commonly known as coneflower and valued as a hardy perennial. Its original genus is respected as a United States prairie native.

The deep rose-purple flower retains color on the plant longer than other varieties. The basal branching habit results in more flowers per plant. “Pow-Wow” was tested across Canada and the United States, and found to be a first-year flowering perennial hardy to USDA Zone 3. Another plus is that the plants will bloom continually without deadheading.

With all good news, there is a little bad news. For the most prolific bloom the first year, the seeds should have been started indoors the end of January. I am of the

mind that perennial seeds can be started any time of the year as long as your expectation isn’t that of immediate gratification.

The flower form is a single daisy. Plant height is 20 to 24 inches; width of plant is 12 to 16 inches.

Length of time from sowing seed to flower is 20 weeks for June flowering.

Marigold hybrid African “Moonsong Deep Orange” When you think there couldn’t be room for another marigold variety in the seed catalogs, along comes seed developer Syngenta Flowers with “Moonsong Deep Orange.” This AAS Flower Award winner has the unique quality of the intense deep orange, fade-resistant color. The fully double blooms are among the best of the class, ranging in size from 2.5 to 3.5 inches across.

The plants are vigorous annuals that tolerate heat and drought.

According to the plant review, over the summer the old blooms will be covered with green foliage, which keeps the plants look-

ing fresh all season.

Marigolds grow best in full sun. Too much fertilizer will produce large green plants with few flowers. “Moonsong” can be grown in 5- to 6-inch pots. Plant height is 12-15 inches; width is 11-14 inches. The length of time from sowing seed to flower is 70-84 days. Seeds can be started indoors four to six weeks before the last frost. Using May 31 as the frost-free date would place the indoor seed starting date about the middle of April.

Zinnia “Double Zahara Cherry” This flower received the AAS Bedding Plant Award. Zinnias certainly aren’t the flower of our grandmas’ cottage gardens.

The new varieties that have been developed resulted in more disease resistance, especially to mildew and leaf spot.

“Double Zahara Cherry” produces fully double, 2.5-inch blooms in a full-sun location and can be grown in 4-inch or larger pots, making them an excellent choice for container gardening.

Zinnias prefer warm soil and warm growing conditions. Better

success is achieved by starting indoors six to 10 weeks before planting outdoors. Plant height is 13.5 inches; width is 12.5 inches.

Length of time from sowing seed to flower is 60-65 days.

Zinnia “Double Zahara Fire” This was the third zinnia to win the AAS Bedding Plant Award. “Double Zahara Fire” has also proven to be leaf spot and mildew resistant.

Plants will continue to bloom throughout the season with little garden maintenance. The unique characteristics of “Double Zahara Cherry” apply to “Double Zahara Fire” as well.

Watermelon hybrid “Shiny Boy” This melon received the AAS Vegetable Award. You can grow the most beautiful specimen of any given vegetable, but if it doesn’t pass the taste test, you have wasted your

time. But “Shiny Boy” won taste tests against competing melons.

“Shiny Boy” is a globe-shaped melon with dark seeds and a weight of 20 pounds or more. The judges classified the flavor as being sweet and tropical with a crisp texture.

The spreading vine can reach a 13-foot spread, and has good disease and insect tolerance. Seeds should be sown four weeks prior to the last frost date. Length of time from sowing seed to harvest is 90 days from seed, 75 days from transplant.

That was all the good news.

Now I need to throw a bit of a wet blanket out with some climatic reminders.

Watermelons are a warmweather crop that respond best when day and nighttime temperatures are closely related. We may have 90-degree days that dip to 60 degrees or even lower at night.

That is a big spread that makes it hard for plants to regain growing power the following day.

With that said and my conscience clear, there will be some of us crazy enough to give “Shiny Boy” a try.

A winner at the Olympics, and in your garden, too

By Norman Winter

Marigolds tend to be take-forgranted plants in today’s garden, but they really offer a long season of bloom, making them among the best buys for your gardening dollar.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Taishan marigolds were stars at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and this spring you will have the opportunity to put them to the test in your garden, too. This award-winning marigold series gets its name from Taishan Mountain, one of the five revered mountains in China.

These are large-flowered African marigolds that will be available in gold, orange and yellow.

There is also a mix available, which is extremely showy. You’ll find these to be rather compact, reaching 12 inches tall with a spread close to 10 inches. The branches are sturdy and easily supporting the large flowers, and they live up to flower’s name, which means stability in Chinese.

Select a site in full sun for best blooming performance. The soil should be fertile and well drained. Tight, heavy, compact clay will yield less than satisfying results. If you find yourself with this dilemma, you can incorporate 3 to 4 inches of organic matter as you work your soil.

If this seems like back-breaking work, you also can plant on raised beds using a prepared landscape planting mix. You’ll notice this to be a common practice around commercial shopping centers and office complexes.

The Taishan marigolds should be spaced about 10 inches apart.

Be sure to add a good layer of mulch after planting to conserve moisture and deter weed growth.

The award-winning Taishan marigolds get their name from the Taishan Mountains, one of the five revered mountains in China.

The shorter stature of these marigolds makes them ideal for using at the front of the border.

The Taishan Orange partners in flaming contrast with blue flowers like Victoria Blue salvia. You also can use them in large informal drifts where you might grow them adjacent to another drift of the new Shock Wave Denim Blue petunia.

Tips for pruning a cherry tree

By Scott Aker Special To The Washington Post

Q:

We have a sour cherry tree, and we use the fruit for preserves, pies, eating out of hand and even to make beer. It is getting too tall to reach the fruit. How do we prune the tree to reduce its size

without affecting the fruit yield?

You can gradually reduce the size of the tree by pruning some of the tallest branches back to an outward-facing bud in late winter over a period of several years. Also, remove crowded branches near the top of the tree

A:

COMING ATTRACTIONS! ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

The Taishan Yellow could do the same, although it will look even better with violet-colored partners. Try it at the front of the border with All Around Purple gomphrena in the back. You could likewise do an informal drift planted adjacent to a drift of Artist Purple ageratums.

For the long growing season, you’ll want to keep your Taishan

canopy to encourage growth and fruit production in the lower parts.

If the tree has grown unchecked for several years, take a very gradual approach to pruning. Remove no more than 10 percent of the branch mass in your annual pruning. Fruit production may diminish for a year, but careful pruning should improve fruit size and quality.

Those eager to join the vegetable gardening revolution this season have a decision to make. Are you going to grow your vegetables from seed? Or will you purchase seedlings from your local garden center or a farmers’ market?

If you are going to grow your own seedlings, it is just about time to get started. The advantages include savings, pride and choice. You can grow exactly what you want, in the numbers you want, and you don’t have to count on somebody else’s idea of variety.

Though seedlings can be pretty inexpensive, selling for a dollar or two, you can purchase a packet of perhaps 50 seeds — and a measure of personal satisfaction — for the same amount.

Buying seedlings saves a lot of work, and it can save a lot of disappointment. There are any number of reasons why the seeds you plant won’t germinate or won’t thrive.

However, unless your garden center purchases its seedlings from a dependable local grower, you run the risk of importing diseases from another part of the country. That appears to be how late blight made its way up the East Coast last summer and decimated so many tomato crops.

Susan Iglehart, of Glyndon, Md., who will start about 20,000 seeds this spring in more than 100 flower and vegetable varieties, says that if you try to start seeds in a sunny window, you are heading for disappointment. “You can grow a whole garden’s worth — hundreds of plants — under a 40-inch fluorescent fixture.”

It needs to be suspended on chains, very close to the seed cups, so that the plants don’t become spindly reaching for the light. The chains allow you to adjust that height as the plants grow. You can purchase fancy tiered racks or light tables, but any table will do.

You can buy heating pads to encourage root growth, though that isn’t necessary for a beginner, Iglehart said.

But a seed-starter kit is a wise purchase. A seed-starter kit, which includes 48 seed cups, markers and a dome that creates a greenhouse effect, can be purchased from mail-order houses such as Gardener’s Supply Co. for about $49.95, and it includes a germination mix and irrigation trays to make watering easier.

How many seeds to plant?

If you want just six tomato plants, do you plant six seeds?

“At least double what you want, and the whole pack if you can,” said Iglehart. “That way, you will have your choice of the sturdiest seedlings, and you can give the rest away to friends.”

marigolds fed with light applications of a slow-release fertilizer about every four to six weeks.

My favorite blend is a 12-6-6, but it really isn’t that big of a deal. A little deadheading of old flowers will keep your plants looking picture perfect.

The Taishan also is well suited for use in mixed containers. I had the opportunity to see and pho-

tograph a wonderfully designed container in which Taishan Orange was used as a filler plant, combined with the new Trusty Rusty coleus as the thriller and Can-Can Strawberry calibrachoa as the spiller.

Marigolds tend to be take-forgranted plants in today’s garden, but they really offer a long season of bloom, making them among the best buys for your gardening dollar. They also can be planted at any time during the growing season. For a late season pick-me-up in August, you could hardly do better than the marigold.

This may seem like an endless winter, but spring is coming.

When it does, be sure to put the Taishan marigolds high on your list.

Learning about the stuff we use Slurp happy in a hurry

By Nancy Baggett

Martha Stewart Living It’s well worth learning more about some of the products we take for granted, such as the things we use every day to prepare, cook and store our food.

Here are some common-sense answers to questions about the most common household goods.

Microwaving It’s amazing how much we’ve come to rely on microwave ovens.

Yet a vague distrust remains regarding how they work and what they do to the food cooked in them. Microwave ovens do leak radiation, but at very low levels that the FDA and most scientists believe are harmless. There are a few simple guidelines to follow to make microwave use safer.

Careful: Ovens with damaged doors and latches can leak more radiation than normal, so make sure your appliance is in good condition. If using plastic containers, cook only with those labeled “microwave-safe.” Do not cover containers in the microwave with cling-type wrap, which is made of polyvinyl chloride; use unbleached paper towels instead.

More careful: Use only ceramic or glass cookware in your microwave (metal, of course, can cause electrical arcing). Use a microwave-safe plate or bowl, and, instead of wasting paper towels, cover it with a glass pot lid, like the ones that come with casserole dishes, to prevent spatters.

Most careful: Use the microwave infrequently, if at all. Cook and reheat foods on a conventional stove or in the oven.

Plastic containers The biggest concern about plastic bottles and containers is that some are thought to contain potentially carcinogenic chemicals and endocrine disrupters that may leach into food and drink.

Consumer-advocacy groups have scrutinized three plastics, in particular: polystyrene (basically Styrofoam); polyvinyl chloride, used to make PVC-based cling wrap; and polycarbonate plastic (think hard-plastic water bottles, kids’ sippy cups and even baby bottles). The FDA reports that all of these plastics are safe. But consumer-advocacy or-

Karl Juengel / Martha Stewart Living

Invest in a metal water bottle, rather than a plastic bottle, to keep hydrated on the go. A concern about plastic is that some containers are thought to contain potentially carcinogenic chemicals and endocrine disrupters that may leach into food and drink. ganizations — such as the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (iatp.org) and the Environmental Working Group (ewg .org) — suggest otherwise.

Careful: For recycling purposes, plastics are assigned a number, which is marked on the bottom of containers. Avoid polystyrene (No. 6), polyvinyl chloride (No. 3) and polycarbonate (No. 7) plastics for storing food, as these are most likely to leach chemicals. Store and microwave food in glass or ceramic dishes. Use old-fashioned parchment paper to pack sandwiches. Babies and young children are at greater risk for health problems associated with the chemicals in plastics. Avoid bottles and sippy cups made of polycarbonate. These contain bisphenol A, or BPA, an endocrine disrupter.

Careful: Don’t buy water in

plastic bottles; not only is this habit wasteful, but there’s no evidence that bottled water is any safer overall than tap water. Many reusable plastic water bottles are made of polycarbonate, so to reduce possible leaching, do not fill them with warm or hot liquids, and recycle old or scratched bottles. Your safest bet is probably a refillable metal water bottle.

Most careful: Avoid any type of plastic in your kitchen whenever possible. Food packaged in plastic should be rewrapped in parchment or stored in glass or ceramic containers.

Paper goods Household paper goods are so ubiquitous we don’t even think about them anymore, but there was a time when towels and nap-

kins were made of soft, reusable cloth. Nowadays the equivalent of about 270,000 trees are used and discarded each day worldwide. While some paper products are made from sustainable tree farms, native forests are still a primary source. This leads to erosion and loss of animal habitats. Plus, papermaking is a toxic process that is hard on the environment.

Careful: Thinner paper is more environmentally friendly than thick or quilted varieties. Use paper towels sparingly, and reuse them when practical; some brands can be rinsed numerous times. Buy only plain, unscented, white, lotion-free toilet paper and tissues, which are better for the environment.

More careful: Help reduce chlorine-related dioxins in the air and water by purchasing paper products that have been whitened with hydrogen peroxide, oxygen or ozone bleach. “Totally chlorine free” is best, “processed chlorine free” is at least made without the most harmful type of chlorine and “elemental chlorine free” is the least desirable, but better than conventional paper goods. Unbleached paper products are the best choice.

Most careful: Use cloth napkins and wash them when they’re soiled; they are more absorbent than some of the “eco” paper brands. Substitute sponges, dishcloths or kitchen towels for paper towels. Look for products made of recycled paper. Among the recycled papers, a high postconsumer waste content is best, because it keeps paper out of landfills and reduces the need to use virgin wood fiber.

Special to The Washington Post

Does this sound familiar? It’s cold. You’re ending a long, busy day. You’re harried, hungry and clueless about what’s for supper.

I’ve been there. So now I make sure to have vital basics always on hand: canned beans, tomatoes, pasta and chicken broth. By adding just a few other refrigerated or frozen convenience items, I can have a nourishing bowl of soup on the table super-fast.

This aromatic, Italian-inspired pesto-pasta soup is one way to go.

To minimize prep time, the recipe calls for store-bought basil pesto and pre-washed, readyto-eat baby spinach. For variety and a heartier dish, I sometimes

toss in some diced ham or leftover roast chicken. Or, when my vegetarian relatives are around, I start with vegetable broth and stay meatless.

I round out the meal with crusty bread. If time allows, I may turn the bread into crostini: This involves brushing thickly cut slices generously with olive oil and baking them in a 375degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until toasted and crisp. The next step is to smear on a little of that pesto, then sprinkle them with shredded mozzarella or another soft, mild cheese. (Adding some sliced kalamata olives or welldrained, jarred, roasted sweet pepper chunks won’t hurt, either.) Finally, they go back in the oven just until the cheese starts to melt.

EASY MEAL-IN-A-BOWL PESTO, PASTA AND BEAN SOUP 4 to 6 generous servings. Fresh basil and chives aren’t always on hand this time of year, but if you’re lucky enough to have them, coarsely chop a handful and toss them in at the end of cooking.

They’ll lend a garden fresh flavor that’s downright irresistible in the dead of winter. Of course, if you’ve got fresh basil, you can also make your own pesto. Yes, the homemade is better than store-bought, but I find the commercial product a convenient and acceptable alternative.

For a slightly meatier soup, stir in about 1⁄2 cup diced ham or roasted chicken meat when you add the tomatoes and their juices.

1 TBS olive oil 1 ⁄2 C peeled and chopped carrot, celery or onion (or a combination) 4-5 C low-sodium chicken broth (may substitute vegetable broth) 1 tsp dried thyme or dried marjoram 1 ⁄2 C of 11⁄2 -inch-long pieces broken-up vermicelli or other similar thin pasta Half a 6-oz bag of fresh baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped 1 (14-15-oz) can white

cannellini beans or Great Northern beans, rinsed and well drained 1 ⁄4 C store-bought basil pesto, or more to taste 1 (15-oz) can diced garlic-and basil-seasoned tomatoes or regular canned diced tomatoes, including juices Generous handful of fresh basil leaves or chives, coarsely chopped (optional) Water, as needed Salt Freshly ground black pepper

Combine the oil and chopped vegetables in a 5- to 6-quart pot over medium heat; stir to coat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add 4 cups of the broth and the dried thyme or marjoram.

Increase the heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until barely al dente.

Add the spinach, beans, pesto, tomatoes and their juices; mix well, then reduce the heat to medium (a gentle boil). Cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors. If desired, add the basil or chives; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Use the remaining cup of broth or water to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper and additional basil pesto to taste.

Divide among individual bowls; serve hot.
