Battle to redraw district borders begins in Salem

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Central Oregonians are getting their first look at new legislative and congressional district maps proposed by Republicans and Democrats.

Redistricting, the once-in-adecade process of recrafting Inside electoral district boundaries, • Examining has begun. And while it may the map not directly alter the day-toproposals, day lives of Central OregoPage A4 nians, it could in many cases lead to a change in who represents them in Salem.

In Bend, Democrats have proposed a state House district that would make it harder for Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, to be re-elected.

The Republican proposal, however, would keep the voter-registration balance of power in Bend about the same.

It’s not just Democrats whose seem to have crafted a map that would give them political advantage. Republicans have proposed a set of districts in the Portland area that appear to improve their chances in the Portland suburbs — a major political battleground over the last decade.

REDMOND AIRPORT MANAGER

Airport candidate rejects offer

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Redmond’s top choice to run the city’s airport has turned the job down after considering the offer for about a week.

John Reed, the assistant airport director at Austin Straubel International Airport in Green Bay, Wis., said his wife, a teacher, would have had a hard time finding a job in the area.

What happens next is not clear, but the process of replacing manager Carrie Novick is likely to take some time.

The city launched a nationwide search in February after Novick announced she would be leaving at the end of June. The city received 20 applications for the position, which includes a salary between $84,468 and $103,824 per year. Redmond narrowed the list to two final-

ists, including Reed, and interviewed the candidates at the airport last month.

Reed praised city staff and the search process but said his wife, a high school teacher, was unlikely to find a local job because of statewide education funding cuts.

The Redmond School District plans to cut 28 teaching positions next year.

Species reintroduction: 170,000 steelhead released into Whychus Creek

Bin Laden’s fixation with U.S. caused friction among followers

By Greg Miller The Washington Post

Osama bin Laden was preoccupied with attacking the United States over all other targets, a fixation that led to friction with followers, according to U.S. intelligence officials involved in analyzing the trove of materials recovered from the al-Qaida leader’s compound.

Even while sealed inside a cement compound in a Pakistani city, bin Laden functioned like a crime boss pulling strings from a prison cell, sending regular messages to his most trusted lieutenants and strategic advice to far-flung franchises, including al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen. Some followers pledged their fealty to him; others, however, chafed at his exhortations to remain focused on U.S. targets instead of mounting less risky operations in places such as Yemen, Somalia and Algeria.

Deschutes Land Trust board member Bob Evans, front, Land Trust executive director Brad Chalfant, and volunteer Yancy Lind open plastic bags full of steelhead fry that were getting acclimated to the cold water of Whychus Creek. Volunteers released about 170,000 steelhead fry at five different sites along the creek Tuesday. Fishery managers are debating what to do with the first returns of adult salmon and steelhead, expected in 2012.

A NEW SUPPLY OF STEELHEAD

T

he four large plastic bags each teemed with 4,000 tiny steelhead.

And volunteers who had signed up to release those fish had to act quickly — they had to hike along steep game trails to the bottom of Whychus Canyon to get the steelhead into the creek before the fish overheated or ran low on oxygen.

“We’ve got 45 minutes to get the fish in the water,” said Brad Chalfant, executive director of the Deschutes Land Trust, slipping the bags of fish into backpacks.

Floodwaters invade downtown Vicksburg, Miss., on Wednesday. As a swollen Mississippi River rolls south, the Army Corps of Engineers must decide if it will drown farmland by opening the Morganza Spillway relief valve.

Robert Ray The Associated Press

Volunteers released a total of about 170,000 steelhead fry into different stretches of Whychus Creek this week — part of an extensive effort to reintroduce steelhead and salmon to the Upper Deschutes and Crooked River basins.

Crews have built a facility at Round Butte Dam to allow the fish to get around the three dams downstream of Lake Billy Chinook. By releasing millions of young fish, the hope is that thousands will return after migrating to the ocean.

But fishery managers have not decided whether to allow the first full run of returning salmon and steelhead upstream in 2012, citing concerns about diseases and low population numbers.

In Louisiana, a choice between 2 floods

By Brian Vastag and Lisa Rein The Washington Post

Flood the farms to save the cities.

That’s the trade-off facing the Army Corps of Engineers in Louisiana this week as a historically high Mississippi River rolls south, prompting evacuations and threatening the heavily industrialized petrochemical corridor running from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

About a million people live along that cor-

ridor, in addition to the New Orleans residents who endured a flooding nightmare six years ago after Hurricane Katrina.

So the Corps is confronted with an unpalatable choice: cause a flood that would drown the livelihoods of central Louisiana farmers and fisherman, or let the high river roll and frantically sandbag 200 miles of levees to prevent flooding in the state’s two biggest cities.

NEW YORK — Samantha Sherwood had lofty aspirations when she settled on a family studies major at the University of Connecticut, like redrawing welfare rules or weaving together a sturdier safety net for people in need.

She figured that she could change the world in big, broad strokes, and that she might pick up a fancy title and ample salary along the way.

Instead, Sherwood, 25, joined up with Teach for America, the program that puts top college graduates into the nation’s poorest school systems, deciding that the best way to make a difference would be, as she put it, “to be there, where the rubber meets the road.” So the world she is poised to change is a science classroom at a middle school in the Bronx filled with sixth-graders who seem as eager to hear her tell them about the whims of the weather as she is to listen to their tales of teenage crushes and broken hearts.

Now in her third year of teaching, earning about $45,000, Sherwood has come face to face with another place where rubber and road meet: She is most likely among the thousands of teachers here scheduled to be laid off.

Because New York state law dictates that the last teachers hired must be the first let go — with a few exceptions for those hard-to-find teachers in subjects like special education and English as a second language — many of those who will receive pink slips if Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s budget is approved by the City Council are young idealists like Sherwood, whom the mayor himself and like-minded reformers had rallied to some of the city’s most challenging classrooms.

“My own kind of ideology, my own commitment to have an impact in the world in some capacity, makes me more inclined to work hard to see my kids do well,” Sherwood said Monday.

Teachers who come through special programs like Teach for America are susceptible to layoffs like anyone else, but experts said most of them were safe because their jobs were the ones the New York City, for example, had most difficulty filling, and thus held high-needs licenses (Sherwood has a general-education elementary license). According to a model the city prepared in February, all but a few hundred of the 4,100

“I’ve gotten nothing but satisfactory reviews. ... I’ve demonstrated I’m effective in the classroom. ... There are people out there who just got settled in and aren’t doing their jobs.”

— Samantha Sherwood, 25, who is likely to be fired from her teaching job in New York New York City teachers scheduled for layoff will have taught fewer than five years; about 650 of them are in their first or second year.

And there’s now a freeze on all personnel transactions, including requests for license changes and changes to service history that might affect a teacher’s seniority.

‘Last in, first out’ If Sherwood is typical of these teachers, she could also be a symbol for those, including Bloomberg, who are lobbying to repeal the law, known as “last in, first out.” Bright, motivated, capable — 72 percent of her school’s students have scored at the proficient level in state science exams since she was chosen to run its science department in 2009 — she said she had been hoping to get tenure at the end of June but now is unsure.

Most of all, she wants to be judged on performance, not time on the job.

“I’ve gotten nothing but satisfactory reviews. The school’s administrators want me to work for them. I’ve demonstrated I’m effective in the classroom,” Sherwood said. “The reality of it is,” she added of more experienced teachers, “there are people out there who just got settled in and aren’t doing their jobs.”

The school where Sherwood works is typical of those that would be hit hardest by the cuts. It is relatively new (it opened in 2005), and its staff is made up primarily of junior teachers; the principal said 60 percent of them had spent five or fewer years in the classroom.

Virtually all of the school’s 378 students are black or Hispanic; 87 percent are poor enough to qualify for the free lunch program. Nearly 1 in 5 does not speak English at home, and about the

same number requires special education services. Still, the school ranks No. 1 in math scores among middle schools in its district, and it received an A on New York City’s progress report this year.

On the first day of school each fall, Sherwood makes a pledge to her students: “I guarantee that if you let me guide you and if you work hard, you’ll leave this class knowing more about science than you did when you arrived.”

Her approach is a mix of drilled discipline and freedom to be creative. She works Saturday mornings to help students prepare for the state’s standardized tests, and next month, one-third of the school’s eighth graders will take the science Regents exam, a requirement only in the ninth grade.

“Any step up they can take, any leg up we can give them, it’s worth the extra effort,” she said.

‘A Band-Aid fix’ Sherwood also led the charge to redo the school’s science curriculum, focusing instruction in each grade on one broad topic, like earth or life sciences. She is helping to start the school’s first newspaper. In class, she pushes the students to take ownership of the material, encouraging them to frame lessons as they like: Last year, one group turned a presentation on how the planets influence the seasons into a newscast, while another made it a music video.

“We have to let children explore the beauty of what they’re learning,” she said, “not spoon-feed knowledge they’re supposed to memorize.”

Sherwood called layoffs “a Band-Aid fix” to budget problems, but she said that if they were necessary, performance should decide who got to stay and who had to go. Last year, she joined Educators 4 Excellence, a group of teachers that advocates for meritbased pay, an evaluation system that takes into account students’ test scores and the strengthening of tenure requirements.

As news of the impending layoffs began to sink in, Sherwood found herself thinking back to her college graduation, when some of her relatives told her she was too smart to become a teacher, as opposed to, say, a doctor, lawyer or engineer.

“Didn’t they all need teachers,” she noted, “to learn what they needed to do their jobs?”

Presidential panel aims to bolster arts advocates

By Mike Boehm Los Angeles Times

Hoping to reverse a decadeslong decline in arts education in American elementary and secondary schools, the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities has issued a report intended to help advocates press for more money, better teaching approaches and a fresh mindset that doesn’t treat arts learning as a frill or an afterthought, readily cut when school budgets grow tight.

While acknowledging that “the overall picture can appear bleak,” the President’s Committee, cochaired by film and television

producer George Stevens Jr. and theater producer Margo Lion, argues in the report, “Reinvesting in Arts Education: Winning America’s Future Through Creative Schools,” that “a critical mass” of success stories now exists.

The idea is to tell them to school boards, legislators and philanthropists in hopes of reversing declines documented in a study the National Endowment for the Arts issued two months ago.

The NEA found across-theboard drops in arts education, based on 18- to 24-year-olds’ responses to a 2008 U.S. Census Bureau survey. Among children

of a college graduate, 27 percent said they had never taken even one arts class, compared with 12 percent in 1982.

Mary Schmidt Campbell, dean of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and vice chairwoman of the President’s Committee, and Rachel Goslins, the committee’s executive director, said the report consolidates in one place a raft of studies on the benefits of arts ed and a list of model programs that others can copy.

“It gives (advocates) a more solid empirical basis for making their arguments,” Campbell said.

DENVER — Loqman Mohamed, a 28-year-old Libyan student from Benghazi, has been spending his nights scouring the Web for the latest on the war ripping apart his homeland.

Now, he has one more thing to worry about.

Like other Libyans studying in the United States, Mohamed has had both his tuition (he attends an English-language school in Denver) and the living expenses for his family in Denver paid by the government of Moammar Gadhafi.

But with $30 billion of its assets frozen by the U.S., Libya has stopped financing its U.S. scholarship program, which has enough money to last only through June 1. That leaves students like Mohamed at risk of having to drop out of school, which could ultimately render them illegal.

And Mohamed and other students say their families have warned them not to return to Libya, given their public participation in anti-Gadhafi protests here.

“Once the program ends next month, we will have to pay our bills, our rent,” Mohamed said. “For me, I don’t have the money to cover even one month.”

The situation has left Libyan students in the United States — and the Canadian nonprofit organization that administers the scholarship program — fearful of an immigration morass if a quick solution cannot be found.

“What we want to see is that the students who are here with their families to study can continue doing so and not get caught up in unintended consequences of a much bigger matter,” said Jennifer

Humphries, a vice president for the Canadian Bureau for International Education, the nonprofit that runs the program.

There are about 2,000 Libyan students, mostly in universities and English-language programs, across the United States, according to bureau officials. Colorado is home to nearly 400 of them, the most of any state.

Matter of life and death Ever since the Bush administration reopened diplomatic relations with Libya in 2006, Libyan students have been coming to the United States in growing numbers.

Last year, the Canadian group took over the program from the Libyan Embassy in Washington, and Libya transferred about $126 million to the nonprofit to cover tuition and student living expenses for the current academic year.

But in February, with the onset of civil war, the United States froze Libya’s assets. The Canadian group later received permission to transfer the money already in its possession into the United States, but no fresh money from the Gadhafi government has arrived, Humphries said.

In recent days, the Canadian group — which estimates that the cost of the program will jump to $206 million in the coming school year — has sought help from the State Department and the United Nations to unblock some Libyan accounts, hoping to keep the students enrolled.

Edgar Vasquez, a State Department spokesman, said the United States had no plans to unfreeze any Libyan assets for the scholarship program but was hopeful that a solution could be found.

“Obviously, we want to keep the students here,” Vasquez said.

“We don’t want to have them go back because of the violence that is ongoing.”

T S Libyan rebels take Misrata airport from loyalist forces

8 die, scores injured as 2 quakes jolt Spain

By C.J. Chivers

MADRID — Two earthquakes struck within two hours of each other in southeast Spain on Wednesday, killing at least eight people, injuring scores more and severely damaging some buildings.

Spain is hit by hundreds of quakes a year, but most are too small to be felt. The deadliest recent quake struck in 1956, killing 12 people.

The first quake hit Wednesday afternoon and had a magnitude of 4.5; it was followed by one with a magnitude of 5.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenters of the quakes were a few kilometers outside the town of Lorca, according to the Spanish National Geographic Institute.

The regional government of Murcia said late Wednesday that eight people had died and 40 people were taken to the hospital. Thousands of people had left their homes because of the risk of additional tremors, according to the local government; many spent the night in emergency shelters.

The army sent about 350 troops to Lorca to help local rescue teams search for possible victims.

Many people were driving home from work or doing their evening shopping by the time the second quake hit. A large church bell and part of the building’s

MISRATA, Libya — Rebels in the contested western city of Misrata stormed the city’s airport Wednesday afternoon, swarming over the grounds from the south and east and reclaiming it from the military of Moammar Gadhafi.

Seizing the airport in Misrata, which has been under siege for nearly two months, represented one of the most significant rebel victories in the Libyan conflict and a stiff military and public-relations blow to the Gadhafi government. The airport and its approaches were the last remaining pieces of terrain in the city to be controlled by the Gadhafi soldiers.

With these soldiers pushed back, the western area of Misrata appeared by nightfall to be out of range of the most common of the Gadhafi forces’ heavy weapons, including self-propelled artillery, Grad rockets and 120-millimeter mortars, which loyalists have used to fire cluster munitions.

Although potentially reversible, the airport capture appeared to be a break in the siege. With the loyalists suffering a string of defeats in recent days and the rebels gaining weapons and confidence, Gadhafi now appeared weaker than ever before, Misrata residents said. With their advance the rebels had, at least for the moment, the potential to cut off government forces in the east from those in the west of Libya, threatening the logistics lines of Gadhafi forces.

The rebel commander at the airport added that the rebels, who now have physical control of all of Misrata, Libya’s third-largest city, had given the citizens of Libya a psychological milestone that could endanger Gadhafi’s hold on the capital, Tripoli.

“Any victory we make here will encourage the people of Tripoli,” he said, as he strutted through the airport’s departure terminal, where the abandoned green uniforms of Gadhafi soldiers rested on several luggage carts. “They will say, ‘Gadhafi is weak. Why can he not keep Misrata?’”

Gadhafi reappeared briefly on Libyan state television Wednesday night. Wearing dark sunglasses, he gestured to his audience and said, “We tell the world: Those are the representatives of the Libyan tribes.” The broadcast appeared to have been fashioned to quell rumors about his health and to indicate that he retains support among some of Libya’s fractious tribes.

Gingrich plunges into 2012 with benefits and baggage

A boy holds a puppy while people run moments after an earthquake hit the southern Spanish village of Lorca on Wednesday.

Two earthquakes struck southeast Spain in quick succession, killing at least 8 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage to buildings, officials said. facade fell to the ground a few yards from a reporter from the Spanish national television as he was broadcasting live about the damage in Lorca.

A resident of Lorca, who provided only his first name, Mario, told the Cope radio station that drivers were speeding away, trying to avoid falling rubble.

“The traffic lights were down, and it was total chaos on the streets,” he said.

The south and southeast of Spain are particularly vulnerable

to quakes because of their proximity to a large fault beneath the Mediterranean.

The second quake, which occurred around 6:45 p.m. local time, was felt in Madrid, the capital, almost 220 miles away.

The earthquakes come as politicians are campaigning across Spain ahead of municipal and regional elections May 22. The government said that the electoral campaign would be interrupted Thursday in the wake of the earthquake.

Obama seeks reset in Arab world

By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — For President Barack Obama, the killing of Osama bin Laden is more than a milestone in America’s decadelong battle against terrorism. It is a chance to recast his response to the upheaval in the Arab world after a stretch in which the stalemate in Libya, the murky power struggle in Yemen and the brutal crackdown in Syria have dimmed the glow of the Egyptian revolution.

Administration officials said the president was eager to use bin Laden’s death as a way to articulate a unified theory about the popular uprisings from Tunisia to Bahrain — movements that have common threads but also disparate features, and have often drawn sharply different U.S. responses.

The first sign of this “reset” could come as early as next week, when Obama plans to give a speech on the Middle East in which he will seek to put bin Laden’s death in the context of the region’s broader political transformation. The message, said one of his deputy national security advisers, Benjamin Rhodes, will be that “bin Laden is the past; what’s happening in the region is the future.

“The spotlight is understandably always on whatever country things are going worst in,” Rhodes said. “What’s important is to step

BEIRUT — Tanks hammered away at Syria’s thirdlargest city Wednesday, leaving at least 18 people dead as part of an offensive to crush demonstrations against President Bashar Assad’s rule, witnesses and activists said.

Security forces scoured the city for protest leaders in an attempt to stamp out the greatest challenge to the fivedecade Baath Party regime in a generation. Troops and plainclothes security officials also looted shops and stole jewelry, witnesses said.

“We woke up to the sound of our windows rattling,” said an activist reached by telephone describing tank fire in the besieged city of Homs.

“Women and children have fled their homes, and only those willing to die for their dignity remain.”

WASHINGTON — The mother of a slain Peace Corps volunteer told Congress on Wednesday that the agency’s mishandling of confidential e-mails “ultimately led” to her daughter’s murder, and she said the corps cut off communications with her family, “leaving us by ourselves to piece together what happened to our daughter.”

Lois Puzey, whose daughter Kate was murdered in 2009 while posted with the Peace Corps in Benin in West Africa, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that she was “shocked” at the way the agency had treated her family after her daughter’s death.

Her account, coupled with testimony from rape victims who recounted insensitive treatment by corps officials, seemed to convince lawmakers that it was time to impose tighter controls on the 50-year-old agency.

Poll: Bin Laden killing was justified WASHINGTON — Was the U.S. right to kill Osama bin Laden? Absolutely, and about time, Americans say.

A new Associated PressGfK poll shows the nation supporting the raid with rare unanimity, and the glow from the operation is also boosting approval for President Barack Obama’s handling of terrorism and the war in Afghanistan.

Few events have sparked such soaring approval from the nation, and almost nothing has since George W. Bush’s handling of the U.S. campaign against terrorism in the months following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Enthusiasm for the risky raid after its success has given Obama some of his highest marks since early in his presidency, and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected.

— The Associated Press back and say, ‘The trajectory of change is in the right direction.’”

Still, although bin Laden’s killing may provide a rare moment of clarity, it has less obvious implications for U.S. strategic cal-

culations in the region. Some administration officials argue that the heavy blow to al-Qaida gives the United States the chance to be more forward-leaning on political change because it makes Egypt, Syria and other countries less likely to tip toward Islamic extremism.

But other senior officials note that the Middle East remains a complicated place: The death of al-Qaida’s leader does not erase the terrorist threat in Yemen, while countries like Bahrain are convulsed by sectarian rivalries that never had much to do with bin Laden’s radical message.

The White House said it was still working through the policy implications country by country.

Even before the bin Laden raid, officials said, Obama was casting about for ways to tie together events in the Middle East. White House officials had weighed a speech in which the president would link the upheaval to the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations — a process that seems, if anything, even more paralyzed after the recent agreement between the Palestinian Authority and the militant group Hamas.

Given that, officials said, the current plan is for the president to keep his focus on the broader changes in the Arab world, rather than to present a specific plan for reviving the peace talks.

WASHINGTON — Using social media tools that didn’t exist when he last served in office, former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich formally launched his candidacy Wednesday for the Republican presidential nomination.

After months of hinting, Gingrich made it official with a Twitter message that said simply: “Today I am announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. You can watch my announcement here.”

A link led to a YouTube video of a smiling Gingrich speaking over soft music.

“I believe we can return America to hope, and opportunity, full employment, real security, to an American energy program, to a balanced budget,” Gingrich said.

He invoked Ronald Reagan and said that as House speaker he had played a role in revamping welfare, balancing the federal budget and reducing unemployment. And in a nod to tea party supporters, Gingrich said he would be president over “a decentralized country under the 10th Amendment with power once again back with the American people and away from the Washington bureaucracy.”

Gingrich enters the race as one of the best-known, most-

established figures in the Republican field. He is lauded for delivering a Republican majority to the House in 1994 through his “Contract with America,” a series of specific promises that GOP candidates ran on.

Still, he’s no slam-dunk candidate. At age 67, he’ll be among the oldest Republicans seeking support from a GOP electorate that seems to be searching for a fresher face. In addition, he hasn’t held public office for 12 years, and may be seen as a figure of the past. “Newt’s been in the Beltway. He’s a retread or, as one political consultant called him, a ‘legacy candidate,’” said Judson Phillips, founder of the website Tea Party Nation.

Gingrich’s record also could drag him down. His House speakership from 1995 to 1999 was mixed; there were successes — forcing then-President Bill Clinton to tack right on budget and welfare overhauls — but there was also much controversy.

The public largely blamed Gingrich for the federal government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996 over budget fights with the White House. And Gingrich was widely mocked for his petulance when he complained of his seat placement aboard Air Force One.

After seeing bin Laden photos, lawmakers differ over release

By Michael Doyle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers who have seen graphic photos of a dead Osama bin Laden differ over whether the photos should be made public.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., saw some photos and came away convinced they must remain under lock and key.

“I was asked, personally, to keep them secret by folks in the intelligence field who don’t want those photos released,” Nunes said in an interview Wednesday.

A member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Nunes cited his secrecy oath in strictly limiting his own description of the bin Laden photos whose disclosure he fears would endanger U.S. forces.

“I’ll just say this,” Nunes said.

“He’s dead.”

But a fellow conservative Republican who saw the photos Wednesday at CIA headquarters, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, insisted that at least some of the bin Laden photos should be released. Inhofe told The Associated Press that he spent about an hour examining more than a dozen photos, some showing gruesome wounds.

“Either a bullet, the significant bullet, went through the ear and out the eye, or vice versa,” Inhofe said. “It wasn’t a very pretty picture.”

Inhofe was among the first in what is expected to be a caravan of lawmakers making the trek to CIA headquarters in northern Virginia to view the bin Laden photos.

President Barack Obama, say-

ing he does not want to “spike the football,” declared that the photos of bin Laden would not be released publicly.

But House and Senate intelligence panel members, congressional leaders and members of the House and Senate armed services committee have been invited to a secure room at CIA headquarters.

At least some of the photos show bin Laden’s face after he was shot twice by a Navy SEAL commando. One of the bullets hit the 54-year-old bin Laden above the left eye and the other entered his chest, Obama administration officials say.

The type of weapon, caliber of bullet, distance at which bin Laden was shot and full extent of structural damage done have not been formally divulged by the administration.

ISLAMABAD — The leader of the main opposition party called Wednesday for an independent inquiry into why the Pakistani army had no knowledge of the American raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The demand by Nawaz Sharif, the head of the party, the Pakistan Muslim League-N, for an independent judicial commission to report to the public within 21 days stood in contrast to the announcement by the civilian government that the army would conduct its own inquiry.

Since the Navy SEAL operation on May 2 that killed bin Laden, there has been unusual criticism of the army, Pakistan’s best-financed and most revered institution.

“If the government refrains from setting up this commission,

Bin Laden Continued from A1 “Bin Laden is saying, ‘You’ve got to focus on the U.S. and the West,’” said a senior U.S. intelligence official who was involved in reviewing the stockpile, adding that some of bin Laden’s followers seemed more concerned with regional issues and were reluctant to conduct an attack that would provoke an American response.

‘Lazy and complacent’ Little over a week after obtaining one of the largest intelligence hauls on a terrorist group, U.S. officials involved in reviewing the trove said they are learning more about bin Laden and the al-Qaida bureaucracy than about the locations of operatives or specific plots that might be unfolding.

Overall, the officials said, the new information — as well as the lack of any apparent effort by bin Laden to prevent it from falling into U.S. hands — provides a strikingly rich portrait of the alQaida chief.

“Bin Laden got lazy and complacent,” said the senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. “I don’t think he thought he would meet his maker in that house.

And he certainly didn’t make any preparations” to escape a raid or destroy the information found inside, the official said.

Officials said they are still in triage mode as they sift through the contents of more than 110 flash drives, laptops and other digital storage devices, in addition to piles of paper documents.

The trove, which represents millions of pages that must be translated from Arabic, is being scrutinized at a secret CIA facility in northern Virginia. Analysts and Arabic linguists from other agencies are being brought in to review the materials.

The early effort has focused on searching the most recent materials for keywords, including the

Airport Continued from A1 “When you take that into account, it just didn’t work for my family,” said Reed. “I had a great experience with the city, and if (school finance) was different I would’ve probably made the move.”

Reed and Mike Clow, the other finalist, came to Redmond for interviews. Clow is a senior man-

they will disappoint the public,” Sharif said at a news conference in Islamabad, the capital.

Sharif, who served twice as prime minister in the 1990s, was ousted from his second term by a military coup led by Gen. Pervez Musharraf in 1999. He has since been distrustful of the military, and his call on Wednesday was interpreted as an attempt to strengthen the hand of civilian rule in the face of the powerful military.

The call for an independent commission came after Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani told Parliament this week that a highranking army general would lead an in-house army inquiry. The prime minister did not say when the inquiry would be finished or whether it would ever be made public, and critics of the raid and the military’s performance have

so far felt the government’s explanations to be inadequate.

Sharif said he rejected the idea of the military investigation, which is to be led by Lt. Gen. Javed Iqbal, a confidant of the head of the army, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. On Friday, Kayani is scheduled to address a closed joint session of Parliament.

Farooq Sattar, the leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, a party that is part of the governing coalition, said Wednesday that he was also demanding an independent commission that would consist of members of the judiciary, retired judges and Parliament members.

The fact that the Pakistani army was not told of the raid by the Americans shocked many citizens, who have complained that the army allowed an infringement of the country’s sovereignty.

names of major American cities.

Analysts are also scanning for references to names of al-Qaida figures, phone numbers and other details that could provide clues for CIA operatives and military counterterrorism teams working overseas.

U.S. officials said bin Laden had a relatively short list of senior al-Qaida members whom he was in touch with frequently and directly, albeit through messages smuggled out of the compound by couriers.

Among them are Ayman alZawahri, the Egyptian physician who has long functioned as bin Laden’s second in command, as well as Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, a Libyan operative who is the latest to fill the organization’s vulnerable No. 3 slot.

of relationships with al-Qaida core.” The acronym refers to alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based group that is behind a series of plots targeting the United States, including the attempted bombing of a Detroitbound airliner on Christmas Day 2009.

Bin Laden does not appear to have been in communication with the most widely recognized AQAP figure, the Americanborn cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi, a relative newcomer who never met the al-Qaida leader, U.S. officials said. But bin Laden did relay messages to others in Yemen whom he appears to have known personally.

Largely because of Aulaqi’s influence, AQAP has emerged as what U.S. counterterrorism officials have described as the most immediate threat to American interests.

Because bin Laden “was the author and prime proponent of global jihad,” a central question among counterterrorism analysts is “whether some of that ebbs” with bin Laden’s death, the U.S. official said.

A second U.S. official familiar with the data review said that, based on the records, bin Laden also seemed to have placed a low priority on operations inside Afghanistan and Pakistan, urging his network to focus on efforts that will “make America weak, using Latinos and African Americans, people who are oppressed in the United States.”

Al-Qaida has articulated such goals before. In 2007, Zawahri issued a message that appealed in part to African Americans, saying, “We are waging jihad to lift oppression from all mankind.”

Al-Qaida appears to have done little to recruit minorities beyond issuing such appeals, officials said. “Their recruiting has been extremely passive” in recent years, the senior U.S. intelligence official said. “It’s not like they have talent scouts at mosques in the United States.”

The trove does not point to any contact between bin Laden and members of the Pakistani military or intelligence services.

Big-picture plans Bin Laden’s directions tended to be big-picture in nature, officials said, focusing more on broader objectives than on granular operational details. “I wouldn’t call it command and control” that bin Laden was exercising, the senior U.S. intelligence official said. Indeed, there is no indication that bin Laden even knew the specific whereabouts of Zawahri and others.

Al-Qaida’s fragmented nature and operational security appear to have kept its leader substantially in the dark.

“We’re not going to find operational manuals or Excel spreadsheets” with rosters of operatives and points of contact, the senior intelligence official said. Bin Laden served as a “chief executive who is giving fairly generic, broad instructions and guidance rather than tactical orders,” the official said.

Even so, the communications are expected to help the CIA and other organizations, including the National Counterterrorism Center, gain significant insights into al-Qaida’s structure and relationship to regional affiliates.

The U.S. intelligence official said bin Laden’s records have “confirmed our view that AQAP is first among equals in terms

Redistricting Continued from A1 The proposed maps, released Wednesday, represent the start of negotiations that will go on privately even as hearings occur in public. The Legislature has until June 30 to agree on new boundaries or the job will be kicked to Secretary of State Kate Brown.

Though the rules of redistricting don’t allow for the parties to draw the lines for political advantage, the reality is that redistricting “is the most political thing we do,” says Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver.

Indeed, the public promises of bipartisanship have already devolved into charges of self-interested political maneuvering.

On Wednesday, Republicans accused Democrats of backing out of an agreement to present their proposed maps in a joint press conference.

Things got testy at a 2 p.m. press conference held by Democrats when Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, uninvited, pulled upon the door and interrupted a Senate colleague. “We don’t have a press release out yet, and this is what’s going on?”

Telfer said in an angry tone.

Under the rules of redistricting, state and federal House and Senate districts must end up with the same population, and their boundaries should try to link “communities of common interest.”

But the two parties’ proposed maps are very different, as with Bend and Deschutes County. Because it’s grown faster than the rest of the state, Bend has become too large for

Once every decade, the Legislature is tasked with redrawing legislative and congressional districts.

one state house district. And Deschutes County can no longer be taken up mostly by one district, either.

Today, Conger’s District 54, containing Bend and Deschutes River Woods, looks like a doughnut hole on a map. It’s surrounded

by District 53, which covers most of the rest of Deschutes County and is represented by Whisnant.

Under the Democratic proposal, the district covering Bend would shrink from its current shape; instead, a southern slice of the city would go to District 53, and an eastern slice would be peeled off to District 55, a seat occupied by Rep. Mike McLane of Powell Butte. In effect, the doughnut hole of Whisnant’s new district would instead become a “Pacman,” said Conger.

The Republican map, however, would assign an entirely different district number, 53, to the Bend district, even as it slices off the northeastern part to join with a newly drawn District 55.

Conger, a resident of eastern Bend, would find himself living in a new district, number 54. So would Whisnant — whose home would be in 55, and McLane, whose home would be in 54.

The new boundaries would translate to a different balance of power in terms of districts’ voter registration.

Republicans say their interest was piqued by some strange boundaries drawn by Democrats. So they ran the voter registration numbers.

Under the Democratic plan, they say, the district occupied by Conger would go from its current Democratic advantage of

roughly 3 percentage points over Republicans to one that gives Democrats a 7-point edge.

The Republican proposal, meanwhile, would leave the Democratic margin in the Bend district about the same.

Under both Democrats’ and Republicans’ plans, Whisnant’s district would become more competitive, going from a nearly 12-point Republican advantage to a roughly 9-point advantage.

McLane’s district will become even safer under the Democratic plan, going from a nearly 18point advantage to a more than 21 percent advantage. Under the Republican plan, Republicans’ advantage in McLane’s district would be cut in half, to 9 points.

In their press conference, Democrats criticized Republicans for more drastically redrawing Senate district lines.

In their own press conference, Republicans, including Telfer, said they went out of their way to make more competitive districts.

Telfer encouraged people to get involved in the process, noting that the public can submit written testimony on the Legislature’s redistricting website, www.leg .state.or.us/redistricting.

She said people should weigh in because the best outcome “can only happen when (lawmakers) know what their communities of interest are.”

Rep. Chris Garrett, D-Lake Oswego, said that particularly in Central Oregon, “I don’t think we’re too far apart.”

Dallas Matte lines up sandbags in front of a neighbor’s home in Butte LaRose, La., on Wednesday in preparation for the onslaught of water from the Morganza Spillway. If the spillway is opened, the small community would receive up to 25 feet of water.

Flooding Continued from A1 If the swollen Mississippi is allowed to run full-bore through the state, the water would eat away at levees and could overtop sections, drowning some districts of New Orleans under about 25 feet of dirty water — an inundation even greater than the Katrina disaster, according to a worst-case map prepared by Walter Baumy, chief of engineering for the Corps’ New Orleans office.

But the Corps has an ace up its sleeve. It can throw open a relief valve 35 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, the huge Morganza Spillway.

Designed to siphon a fifth of the Mississippi’s mightiest flow and sluice it west, the spillway has been opened just once in the 57 years since its completion, during the flood of 1973.

If thrown open again, the Mississippi would fall, as would the threat to Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

In exchange, a flood would shoot down the gut of central Louisiana and join the already high Atchafalaya River, which would further swell and flood.

For 200 miles, farmers and fishermen would pay a steep price as a torrent greater than Niagara Falls would inundate crops, crawfish hatcheries and, possibly, the small cities of Houma and Morgan City.

Sensitive oyster beds in the Gulf of Mexico would be imperiled by the pulse of freshwater.

Decision coming soon On Wednesday, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told residents in the path of the potential spillway flood to prepare for evacuation.

“These are very high stakes,” said Bob Thomas, a professor at Loyola University New Orleans who studies the politics and ecology of the spillway. “The Morganza will cause a lot of damage if it’s open, a major flood. But it’s designed for that.”

The Mississippi has flooded 3 million acres in Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi and has forced thousands from their homes. On Wednesday, the river set an all-time record at Natchez, Miss. Heavy snows in the upper Midwest this winter and record rains in April across the Ohio River valley triggered the historic floods.

In Louisiana, the Morganza Spillway decision rests with Corps Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, president of the Mississippi River Commission, which oversees the river’s flood control system.

“The river is dictating what we need to do to protect the largest number of lives,” said Robert Anderson, Walsh’s spokesman.

On May 6, the head of the Corps’ New Orleans district, Col. Edward Fleming, requested that Walsh open the spillway to protect the city.

Walsh is considering the request while keeping a close eye on river forecasts. He will make his decision between today and Saturday, his spokesman said.

‘All it takes is one weak spot’ Forecasts suggest that Walsh will be forced to open at least some of the 125 gates that march across the 3,900 foot-wide spillway.

By Wednesday, the river had risen to just three feet below the spillway’s top, said Baumy, the Corps engineer. And the National Weather Service projects the river’s flow will hit a preplanned trigger point early Friday. That’s when the service says the Mississippi will shoot past a spot called Red River Landing, just north of Morganza, at 1.5 million cubic feet per second.

For more than 50 years, the

Corps’ flood protection plan for Louisiana called for throwing open Morganza’s gates when the river hit that unlikely number.

The whole river has been channeled as a superhighway for barges, with only two pressure relief points along the lower part — at Morganza and the already opened Bonnet Carre Spillway just north of New Orleans. Such a constraint leaves the Corps with few options during a historic flood.

“They’re going to have to open up Morganza, not for the height, but for the pressure on the levees,” said Oliver Houck, a law professor at Tulane University who has long been involved with the spillway. “It’s going to remain high for weeks and weeks. And that’s the scare. All it takes is one weak spot” in a levee to flood New Orleans.

In the 1970s and ’80s, Houck led a fight to prevent real estate development in the spillway zone.

His argument was simple: The Corps designed the zone to be intentionally flooded. Allowing homes, farms and businesses to settle there would only make the decision to open the gates harder.

Environmentalists and sportsmen succeeded in stanching development in much of the spill zone. But farms and towns have still encroached. “A lot of places were developed because the USDA made subsidies to convert forest to cropland,” Houck said.

Lives vs. livelihoods About 100,000 acres of soybeans, sugar cane, rice and corn are farmed in the spillway. Harvests are taken by barge to New Orleans for export, but all of this season’s crops are at risk, local farmers say.

Even if just half of the spillway opens this weekend, “the level of water is just too extreme” to save the crops, said Carlos Polozola, who farms corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,500 acres in St. Landry Parish.

The farmers who own the crops have insurance. But insurance covers only an act of God or natural disaster. Opening the spillway is a human decision made to try to avert a natural disaster, so the farmers would be out of luck.

“Some of our farmers would lose everything they have,” said Polozola, president of a district board representing St. Landry and two neighboring parishes.

The farmers are appealing to the Army Corps of Engineers to write insurance companies a letter calling the spillway opening a natural event.

Residents along the spillway are worried about a side effect of the opening called backflooding. This occurs when the waterway merges with other bayous and lakes, overloading the system and depositing water outside the levees.

“Everyone is panicking,” Polozola said. People are renting storage lockers and shelters and moving their belongings in.

At the spillway’s southern end, residents of Morgan City, pop. 13,500, 25 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, are among the worried. This week, Mayor Tim Matte got the National Guard to raise the levees south and east of the city by three feet to protect against backflooding. But it won’t get to every section before the spillway is opened.

“We’re telling people they need to prepare themselves for whatever circumstances could come,” Matte said.

To critics who say people should not have built anywhere near the spillway, Matte said the Atchafalaya is a working river with fishing, timber, and offshore oil and gas industries that are vital to Southern Louisiana and the nation’s economy.

“This is a place where commerce takes place,” he said. “It’s a working coast. We need to be here.”

Continued from A1 Biologists have two primary issues.

“There’s a concern that if there’s just a few fish, will they find each other on the spawning grounds,” said Brett Hodgson, Deschutes District fish biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

It could be more beneficial to collect the fish that do return and use them as parents of the next generation of fry to be released, he said.

“This way we would have offspring from fish that we know have successfully reared in these tributaries, made their way to the ocean and came back,” Hodgson said. “These would be superior fish to just the regular stock at Round Butte Hatchery.”

There’s also a concern that fish traveling upstream past the dams would bring diseases with them, such as whirling disease, or a strain of another virus that is not present in the upper reaches.

“It’s uncertain what transfer of that virus would do to resident fish populations,” Hodgson said. “But obviously there is the potential that it could negatively impact them.”

Biologists with Portland General Electric, which operates the Pelton Round Butte Dam with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, have conducted studies of the disease potential, and so far it seems doubtful that whirling disease would be a problem, Hodgson said. But there isn’t conclusive information.

So biologists have decided to gather more information and decide in late fall or winter what to do with returning salmon and steelhead in 2012.

They’ll take into account the number of migrating fish that go downstream, Hodgson said, and the number of jack salmon that return a year early.

The size of the jack salmon return can help fishery managers estimate how many adult fish will come back to

Yancy Lind, Land Trust volunteer and Deschutes Chapter president of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders, carefully releases a small number of steelhead fry into Whychus Creek on Tuesday.

“Turn the bucket, let ’em go, hope they survive,” was his strategy, he said. the dam the following year.

“If it looks like we’re only going to see a very small number of adults returning in 2012, that will have a bearing on the decision as to what is the best use of those fish,” he said.

But with strong numbers of young chinook and sockeye salmon migrating out of the reservoir last year, and even more sockeye migrating this year, there could be a lot of returning adult salmon in 2012 and 2013, said Don Ratliff, senior aquatic biologist with PGE.

About 50,000 sockeye salmon migrated to the ocean in 2010, and this spring there could be 150,000 sockeye that attempt the trip, he said. The salmon generally return after two years in the ocean, and if only 1 percent of those survive and return it would still mean 500 returning sockeye in 2012, and 1,500 returning in 2013, Ratliff said — plus additional chinook salmon and steelhead.

“Just the numbers, we would have more fish than we could move into the hatchery, than

we could do anything with,” he said. “I think the fish themselves might force the decision to pass the fish.”

The steelhead that sloshed down a Whychus Canyon game trail in volunteers’ backpacks Tuesday will spend about two years in Whychus Creek before heading downstream to Lake Billy Chinook and, if they’re lucky, reaching the fish passage facility.

Chalfant, with the Land Trust, directed volunteers to place the plastic bags in the 44-degree creek water to let the steelhead adjust. Then the “fish liberators” spread out along the waterway, looking for calm waters with good hiding places to release the tiny fry.

“We want to give them a fighting chance before the brown trout and other predators have a chance,” Chalfant said.

Yancy Lind, Deschutes Chapter president of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders and a volunteer with the Land Trust, took a bucket of fish and headed downstream to find an appropriate pool.

“Turn the bucket, let ’em go, hope they survive,” was his strategy, he said.

Waiting to let returning fish go upstream until there’s a big enough population that they can find each other and reproduce makes sense, he said. His main concern, he said, is that they have enough good habitat and enough water in the rivers and creeks to return to.

“Personally, myself and all the other anglers are just looking forward to the day where we catch wild fish,” he said.

Insiders were everywhere in convicted trader’s world Rajaratnam found guilty on conspiracy and securities fraud charges

By Katherine Burton and Saijel Kishan Bloomberg News

Raj Rajaratnam

NEW YORK — The U.S. Attorney called the Wall Street trader a participant in the most widespread instance of “systemic corruption” the government had investigated.

The comments by Rudolph Giuliani’s office came in the 1987 sentencing of Ivan Boesky, at the time the highest-profile defendant in what was the biggest insider-trading case the Justice Department had

pursued. Prosecutors used almost identical words to describe Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge-fund billionaire whom a jury found guilty Wednesday on five counts of conspiracy and nine counts of securities fraud after a seven-week trial and 11 days of deliberation.

With Boesky, then one of the industry’s best-known traders, the government cracked an elite Wall Street clique that included junk-bond king Michael Milken. Rajaratnam, in con-

trast, built a sprawling web of mostly lower-ranking underlings at hedge funds and technology companies in the United States and Asia. While a victory for prosecutors, the case makes clear the challenge they face in staying ahead of the growing ranks of people — fund analysts, product managers, finance employees — who are spread around the world and have access to inside information and the inclination to sell it.

Fuel prices raise eyebrows from here to Capitol Hill

AIG plans to go ahead with stock sale The American International Group said Wednesday it would forge ahead with its planned public stock offering, even though the market seems so cool that taxpayers will recover less on their 2008 investment to save the company.

The Treasury Department has been planning to sell some of its shares for months, as the Obama administration has worked to return the big insurer to the private sector. But questions about the size and the price of the deal have mounted, as AIG’s share price has been sliced in half this year.

No specific selling price was quoted by top company executives, who answered questions about the insurer’s planned return to the private sector at the company’s annual meeting. But the planned offering of 300 million shares would yield about $9 billion at the stock’s current price, much less than anticipated just a few months ago.

To sell five industrial properties in Prineville, Realty Marketing/Northwest is name dropping.

You know, Facebook, the hottest social media company on the planet. It’s next door to the five lots in the Tom McCall Industrial Park that the Portland-based Realtor will sell in a sealed-bid auction.

Located north of state Highway 126, the properties sit roughly 3,000 feet or less from Facebook’s 307,000 square foot data center, which opened last month.

The lots have been on the market for slightly more than a year, according to Realtor.com, the official site of the National Association of Realtors. The site lists them as a bulk sale — all 10.5 acres for $599,000, about $149,000 more than the current price.

Those prices are within 10 to 15 cents of the all-time highs set in July 2008, according to a statement from Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Maria Cantwell, DWash., who sent a letter Wednesday to the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

The letter, signed by Walden, Cantwell and 15 other senators, calls for the agency to implement rules limiting speculative trading in all energy futures markets, beginning with the

crude oil futures market, no later than May 23.

“Numerous experts have concluded that excessive trading in oil futures is causing oil price volatility unrelated to supply-and-demand fundamentals, and contributing to rising gas prices,” according to a news release from Wyden and Cantwell.

“Last week crude oil prices unexpectedly fell by nearly 10 percent in one day, defying the basic economic principles of supply and demand, and today they are back up over $100 a barrel,” Wyden said in the statement. “The wild fluctuation could only be the result of rampant oil speculation, plain and simple.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Google took another swipe at Microsoft on Wednesday when it introduced a new kind of computer called a Chromebook, which stores everything online.

Google hopes that the devices, which it says will eliminate the need for software updates and hard drive backups and will boot up within eight seconds, will replace PCs running Microsoft’s Windows software.

“Whether it be Microsoft or other OS vendors, I think the complexity of managing your computers is really torturing users out there,” said Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder and director of special projects, speaking at Google I/O, its developer conference here. “That’s a flawed model fundamentally.

And I think Chromebooks are a new model that doesn’t put the burden of managing your computer on yourself.”

After backing merger, FCC member hired

by Comcast

By Edward Wyatt New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Four months after the Federal Communications Commission approved a contested merger of Comcast and NBC Universal, one of the commissioners who voted for the deal said Wednesday she would soon join Comcast’s Washington lobbying office.

Meredith Attwell Baker, a former Commerce Department official who worked on telecommunications issues in George W. Bush’s administration, announced that she would leave the FCC when her term expires at the end of June. At Comcast, she will serve as senior vice president of government affairs for NBC Universal, which Comcast acquired in January.

The announcement drew immediate criticism from some groups that opposed the Comcast-NBC merger.

They said the move was indicative of an ethically questionable revolving door between regulatory agencies and the companies they oversee.

U.S. trade deficit grows, Debit fraud at Michaels Stores despite surge in exports hit 20 states, including Oregon MarketWatch

WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit widened sharply in March to the highest level in nine months despite a new record high for exports of goods and services, government data showed Wednesday.

The trade deficit — that is, the difference between exports and imports — widened to $48.2 billion for the month from a downwardly revised $45.4 billion in February, originally reported as $45.8 billion.

Imports of goods and services rose by 4.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted $220.8 billion during March, while exports rose 4.6 percent to $172.7 billion, the Commerce Department estimated. This was the biggest one-month jump in exports since March 1994.

The 6 percent increase in the deficit was larger than expected.

Analysts surveyed by MarketWatch had expected the deficit to widen to $47.0 billion.

The March trade gap was very close to government estimates included in the advance firstquarter gross domestic product report. This means that there will be little revision from trade

Insider Continued from B1 “The government’s recent insider-trading prosecutions have shined a light on both the recent democratization and globalization of what is allegedly inside information,” said Adam Wasserman, an attorney at Dechert in New York who handles whitecollar criminal and securities cases. “It’s not just in the hands of CEOs and CFOs anymore.”

More than 40 people face criminal charges or civil lawsuits or have pleaded guilty in the government probe whose roots go back to 1998 when the FBI began investigating Roomy Khan, a former Intel Corp. product-marketing engineer. Khan, 52, sent Intel semiconductor pricing and sales data to Rajaratnam’s Galleon Group, according to a criminal complaint. She later worked at the New York-based hedge fund.

Among those charged are Zvi Goffer, a 34-year-old day trader who made $378,608 after getting a tip that 3Com Corp., a computer-networking firm based in Marlborough, Mass., would get acquired, the Securities and Exchange Commission said in its complaint against him. Goffer, known as “Octopussy” for his multiple sources of information, has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial this month.

Manosha Karunatilaka, 37, a former U.S. account manager at Hsinchu, Taiwan-based Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., was arrested in December for selling hedge funds production reports on the chipmaker’s 10 largest customers. He was paid $200 a call by Primary Global Research, an expert-network firm that provided access to company insiders for investors, according to a government complaint. He has yet to enter a plea.

Deep Shah, a former junior analyst at Moody’s Investors Service, was charged in November 2009 with leaking information about Blackstone Group’s takeover of Hilton Hotels Corp. Shah had fled to India and remains a fugitive.

“The dissemination of material information is beyond the reach and control of U.S. regulators,” said Peter Rup, chief investment officer of Artemis Wealth Advisors in New York, which allocates money to hedge funds for clients.

Tip of the iceberg?

The breadth of the Rajaratnam’s contact network and two related rings — which the government penetrated using mobile- phone taps and cooperating witnesses who wore concealed recorders — raises the question of whether trafficking in material, nonpublic information is so prevalent that the Justice Department and the SEC have exposed only the tip of the iceberg.

In Boesky’s day, Wall Street was a smaller, more insular world, and inside information flowed among a tighter circle of people. The insider-trading rings of the day were made up mostly of investment bankers who worked on takeover deals and arbitragers like Boesky who endeavored to make money buying and selling the stocks of merging

to the 1.8 percent annualized growth rate in the first three months of the year.

Trade was a slight drag on first-quarter growth after adding more than 3 percentage points to fourth-quarter growth.

The March data also shows continued revival in world trade activity that came to a standstill during the financial crisis in late 2008 and early 2009 and has been slowly improving over the past two years.

For instance, U.S. exports to Canada were the highest on record, while imports from Canada were the highest since September 2008.

March U.S. exports to the European Union were the highest since June 2008 while imports from the region were the highest since July of that year.

In another good sign, U.S. exports to South and Central America hit a record in March.

The report showed that March imports from Japan were the highest since July 2008. The earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11 so the April trade data may more clearly show the impact of the disasters on bilateral trade flows.

companies.

Giuliani’s investigation ended with prison sentences for some of the biggest names in finance.

By the time the latest case came to light with Rajaratnam’s arrest in October 2009, insider trading had moved well beyond the world of merger deals and investment bankers. The cast of characters is diverse — lowerlevel employees, both male and female — and hails from countries including the U.S., Taiwan and India. Rajaratnam, 53, is a U.S. citizen born in Sri Lanka.

Hedge funds, a fledgling industry in the mid-1980s, have taken center stage as the big money makers of the finance world.

Some managers, including Rajaratnam, made their fortunes betting on short-term moves, often in technology and health-care stocks, triggered by catalysts such as a surprise in quarterly earnings, a surge in customer orders or the announcement of a new product.

“There are a lot more tradable events today than before — it’s not just mergers,” said Dan Celeghin, a partner at Casey, Quirk & Associates, a financialconsulting firm in Darien, Conn.

“Hedge-fund managers live and die by their returns,” Celeghin said.

The middlemen The demand for information helped create a new breed of middlemen: expert-network firms, which connect investors with corporate insiders who for a price provide color on orders, sales and corporate strategy.

Such data complement research done in-house or provided by Wall Street firms. Using the experts is legal as long as they don’t disclose material, nonpublic information.

Eight employees or outside consultants at Mountain View, Calif.-based Primary Global crossed the line by providing confidential information, according to government complaints.

Throughout the trial, Rajaratnam’s lawyers denied any wrongdoing, saying he based his trades on research including analyst reports, news accounts and stock trading trends.

One throwback to the Boesky days of high-level conspirators in the Rajaratnam case was Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble Co. board member who the prosecution has called an unindicted co-conspirator. Gupta, 62, hasn’t been criminally charged, and his lawyer said he was never paid for information.

After the arrests of Boesky, Siegel and Milken, commentators marked the moment as the end of the era of greed that had led to the savings-and-loan debacle and the leveraged-buyout boom and bust that dominated the 1980s. Though the Rajaratnam conviction will mean more cases are coming, commentators are less naïve today.

“These are powerful instinctive human drives,” said Bruce Baird, 63, a partner at Covington & Burling in Washington, who worked on the Boesky-era insider-trading cases as a young assistant U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. “Insider trading can’t be stopped by a case or two. The most you can do is make them think twice for a while.”

CHICAGO — Michaels Stores says the debit-card fraud stemming from tampered checkout line terminals at its stores is not isolated to the Chicago region but is spread across 20 states.

Michaels identified 90 key pads that were tampered with in the states of Illinois, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

Debit-card fraud is worse for consumers than credit-card fraud. In the case of Michaels’ stores, many customers had money stolen directly from their bank accounts via ATM withdrawals.

“Suspicious PIN pads were disabled and quarantined immediately,” Michaels said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, Michaels has removed approximately 7,200 PIN pads comparable to the identified tampered PIN pads from its U.S. stores.” Until those pads are replaced with upgraded models, customers can use cash, credit cards and signature-based debit cards.

The company said it has

Google Continued from B1 Google will not have an easy time challenging Microsoft, which dominates the workplace. While Google has bested Microsoft in operating system software for mobile phones, it has taken on Microsoft in the workplace before and failed to budge it, most notably in word processing and spreadsheet software and collaboration tools.

Google says Chromebooks will attract corporate technology buyers because Google automatically updates the Chrome operating system over the Internet and there is no need to back up computers because if they are lost or ruined, all the data exists online.

“We’re venturing into a really new model of computing that I don’t think was possible previously, even a few years ago,” Brin said. “I think it’s just a much easier way to compute.”

Changing user habits Google’s biggest challenge will be persuading people to do computing in a completely different way. The Chromebooks, named after Google’s Chrome operating system, will store all of a user’s data and the computer’s software online. Google’s idea is that anyone could walk up to an Internet-connected computer anywhere and have access to his or her information.

But since most computer users are accustomed to using desktop software and storing data on a computer’s hard drive, getting people — and corporate managers of information technology — to change will be difficult, said David Daoud, research director for personal computing at IDC. “Large companies are still very much Windows-centric,” Daoud said. “Yes, Google might find a niche market for this, but it’s going to be very difficult to compete with Microsoft in the

Illinois was hit the hardest, with PIN pads compromised in 14 Michaels stores, all in the Chicago region.

The fraud attack has led many banks to proactively freeze bank accounts of customers they think may be vulnerable.

For example, Marquette Bank, with 24 branches in the Chicago region, said 1,900, or 3 percent,

The Chrome operating system, which Google introduced in 2009, does away with desktop software and storing data on a computer. Instead, it is not much more than a browser, and all of a computer user’s information, like documents, photos and e-mail messages, is stored on the Internet, or in “the cloud.”

Instead of desktop software like Microsoft Word or iPhoto, people use Web-based software like Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365 or Picasa.

gan proactively replacing debit cards of some customers. “Unfortunately, we have become experts in addressing these issues quickly with minimal customer inconvenience after dealing with past retail store breaches,” he said.

Michaels’ checkout-line swipe terminals were probably tampered with or swapped out for other machines by thieves who stole account numbers and secret PIN codes, experts say.

As a result, Michaels customers have reported having money taken from their bank accounts, often in the amount of $503, and often at cash machines in California.

If you made a debit-card purchase at a Michaels in recent months and have noticed unusual activity in your bank account, contact your bank and file a police report with your local police department, authorities suggest.

Federal law says debit-card users have only a limited time to report a loss or unauthorized use. Even if reported within two days, a customer can be liable for up to $50 of the fraud amount. If reported between two and 60 days, the customer can be liable for up to $500. If reported later, a customer is in danger of losing all the money.

And they often rely on desktop software — accounting, publishing or customer relationship software, for instance — that is not available on the Web. Workers also generally need reliable data connections. The Chromebooks use Wi-Fi and cellular phone connections, and won’t do many tasks without them.

Google said it was solving those problems by lining up business partners. Citrix Systems, the virtualization company that lets people access their computers remotely, said Wednesday that it would offer an enterprise app store so people could use business apps made for the desktop, like those from Microsoft, SAP and Adobe, in their browsers.

“It’s going to appear as if it is running on the device, but the application is running in the cloud,” said Gordon Payne, general manager of Citrix’s desktop division.

Google also said that many apps would operate offline, including Gmail, Google Docs and Google Calendar and, when workers need a break from all that productivity, the game Angry Birds.

Working with manufacturers to make computers and providing businesses with technical support may seem a long way from Google’s mission to organize information through search. But the more Web users there are, the more people use Google’s products, Pichai said.

“It makes business sense because I think people are willing to spend money to save time,” Brin said.

Still, Google seemed to acknowledge that it might take time to persuade most computer users to live in its Web-based future.

The tagline at the end of its promotional video for Chromebooks? “Ready when you are.”

Social Security gets a little more secure New rules protect against debt collectors and eliminate checks

By Susan Tompor Detroit Free Press

Baby boomers who sign up now to collect Social Security benefits will never get a check.

It’s not as bad as it might seem.

If you signed up for benefits as of May 1 or later, you must use direct deposit or receive Social Security benefits via a governmentissued prepaid debit card.

About 10,000 people become eligible each day for Social Security benefits, given the aging baby boomer population. About 18 million baby boomers will be at retirement age in the next five years.

Sure, you won’t need to worry any more about someone stealing that Social Security check out of your mailbox. But what if you’re dealing with bill collectors after some terrible economic times?

What could occur if Social Security money is directly deposited to an account?

Given that many people are behind on their bills, you have to wonder whether debt collectors, like your credit card company, would have easier access now to that Social Security money. Some key rules changed May 1 that could protect you there.

Now, seniors will have more protections from private creditors.

Beginning this month, banks and credit unions are required to protect two months of Social Security payments and veterans benefit payments if a credit card issuer, auto loan company or other private lender attempts to garnish your money.

Under the federal law, creditors cannot take Social Security, disability, veterans and children’s survivor benefits to cover a debt from a private creditor. But that’s not always how things worked. A loophole in the rules gave banks a way to freeze accounts and leave some debt-troubled seniors vulnerable.

“They couldn’t pay rent. They couldn’t buy food,” said Lauren Saunders, managing attorney for the National Consumer Law Center in Washington.

“A lot of people on Social Security, that’s their sole source of income.”

The garnishment fix You won’t get a break on your federal debts. The federal government would still be able to deduct money to cover back debts owed on federal student loans, federal taxes and the like before issuing Social Security payments.

As part of a new rule that eliminates paper checks for those applying now for Social Security benefits, though, the U.S. Treasury put new rules in place to

Signing up for Social Security benefits • Talk to your bank or credit union to make sure you have the correct routing number and account number to sign up for direct deposit.

• If you do not have a bank account, you can receive Social Security benefits via a Direct Express prepaid debit card.

Visit www.godirect.org or call 800-333-1795.

• In addition to an English version, the Social Security Administration now has a special tool in Spanish that provides a current estimate of the benefits due. Don Francisco, the legendary Spanish TV host, is a spokesman for the New Spanish Estimator. See www.socialsecurity.gov/ espanol/calculador.

• You can start collecting Social Security as early as age 62 or as late as age 70. If you want to apply for retirement or spouse’s benefits, you must be at least 61 years and 9 months of age and want your benefits to start no more than four months from when you apply.

• Your monthly benefit will be different depending on the age you start receiving it.

• Even if you are not ready to retire, you could still sign up for Medicare four months before your 65th birthday, according to Rufus Gaston, public affairs specialist at the Detroit office of the Social Security Administration.

• Some financial planners say it can be better for some people to wait to collect benefits later in their 60s if they expect to have a long life. If you’re likely to live well into your 80s or 90s, you can consider delaying collecting Social Security until you reach full retirement age.

Visit www.ssa.gov.

require all banks to determine whether a savings or checking account has money that is protected from private creditors, such as credit card companies, car lenders and mortgage companies.

“To make all of this happen, we needed to solve that garnishment piece,” said Walt Henderson, director of electronic funds transfer, U.S. Treasury.

Social Security’s website notes that if a creditor other than the federal government tries to garnish your Social Security benefits, you need to inform the creditor that such an action violates Section 207 of the Social Security

Act. “Once paid, benefits continue to be protected under Section 207 of the Act as long as they are identifiable as Social Security benefits,” the Social Security website states.

Under the new rules, the bank will automatically protect any federal benefits electronically deposited in the past 60 days.

Seniors would still have to act to protect any federal benefits money above that amount or any of that money deposited by check and not electronically.

Gerri Detweiler, personal finance expert for Credit.com, said the new changes will give added protections to consumers who are dealing with too much debt.

“It does provide a procedure that should be helpful to a lot of consumers,” she said.

Typically, a creditor can take a consumer who doesn’t pay the bills to court and get a judgment against him or her. And the bank accounts can be frozen or money can be taken by creditors. The consumer would have to go to court and get an attorney to prove that Social Security money was protected.

The new rules give improved protections for federal benefits received in the previous 60 days before a creditor goes to the bank and attempts to garnish your money.

Going paperless Baby boomers who sign up now to collect Social Security benefits will have to give up the idea of getting their hands on paper checks.

If you signed up for Social Security benefits May 1 or later, you must use direct deposit or receive Social Security benefits via a government-issued debit card. No paper checks will be issued unless you qualify for one of the very limited waivers. This rule also applies to other federal benefits, including veterans and railroad retirement benefits.

People already receiving Social Security benefits have another deadline to consider. As of March 1, 2013, no one will be able to get paper checks for Social Security benefits unless they qualify for a limited waiver.

If you’re receiving a check now, Henderson said, you don’t have to make any moves, but you could decide to use direct deposit early if you wanted to.

If you do not have a bank account, the federal government has a prepaid debit card with some low fees. The Direct Express prepaid debit card has no monthly fee and offers one free ATM withdrawal each month. The fee is 90 cents for each ATM transaction after the first free withdrawal.

INVESTING

Follow rules of thumb, not crystal balls

By Gail MarksJarvis Chicago Tribune

Slowly, people are tiptoeing back into the stock market, enticed by a three-year market high.

Standard & Poor’s strategist Howard Silverblatt has dubbed these “happy days.” The Standard & Poor’s 500, an index that roughly reflects the overall stock market, recently was up about 8 percent this year. If you had put money into the market at the March 2009 lows, you would have gained about 100 percent.

But memories of the dark days of 2008 and 2009 remain vivid.

And people still have scars. Despite the tremendous gains, investors who had money in the stock market before it began tanking on Oct. 9, 2007, still have 12.8 percent less than before the market plunged 57 percent.

So as people consider dropping money into stock mutual funds, they want to know if the upturn is for keeps. Analysts see a mixed picture, with some arguing for a continued upturn through the end of the year, and others saying a “summer swoon” is possible.

Even the best and brightest differ. That’s why financial planners urge clients to ignore the prognos-

tications and apply the following rules of thumb.

No matter how enthusiastic you might be about the stock market, financial planners say to stay away from stocks if you will need the money within five years.

Stock market downturns sneak up on people, but typically they recover from bear markets, or downturns of 20 percent or more, within five years. During most bear markets, people are back to even within 2½ years. But that’s not always the case. A person who had put money into the stock market at the beginning of 2000 would have ended the decade with a loss.

So, if you will be sending a child to college in a couple of years, or if you are saving for a house down payment, the stock market isn’t the place for that money regardless of whether an analyst is euphoric about stock market conditions. And though investors have been enticed by the tremendous gains in gold and silver during the past few years, there are no guarantees there either. Like stocks, precious metals swing up and down violently. They are called “risk assets,” no place for money you need soon.

While novice investors tend to focus on the news of the day, you likely will consider tomorrow irrelevant for money you will use in retirement in 20 years. Longer-term stocks tend to grow your money more than safer alternatives, but combining riskier and safer investments for retirement works well.

Consider the historical averages that Morningstar’s Ibbotson Associates has tracked since 1926. On average, stocks have gained 9.9 annually, while safe U.S. Treasury bonds have averaged 5.4 percent.

Individual years vary greatly.

But consider what averages could do to your money. Assume you are 40 and have $10,000 in your 401(k), add another $5,000 a year and keep it all in bonds until you retire at 66. You would have about $303,000 for retirement. Yet, if you invest half in stock mutual funds and half in bonds, and earn the averages Ibbotson has tracked, you’d end with about $548,000.

For a 30-year-old investor, the all-bond portfolio would provide about $580,000 by retirement, while the half stock/half bond combo could provide about $1.3 million.

allowed to lobby anyone at the FCC for two years after her departure.

In addition, Baker will not be able to lobby other political appointees at the FCC, including other commissioners, for the remainder of the Obama administration, including a second term if the president is re-elected. She faces a lifetime ban on lobbying any executive branch agency, including the FCC, on the agreement that Comcast made with the commission as a condition of its approval of the merger with NBC Universal.

During the 2008 campaign, he vowed to “close the revolving door” and “clean up both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue” with “the most sweeping ethics reform in history.”

Although Baker was appointed to what is considered an independent regulatory agency, she signed the administration’s ethics pledge upon taking office in July 2009.

Under the pledge, she will not be

he said.

Normally during a down economy in the United States, demand for diesel drops because manufacturing drops off and there are fewer trucks on the road transporting consumer products, manufactured goods or construction materials, Couch said.

In the new global economy, however, Couch said global demand for diesel and other fuels has been surging in other parts of the world, even while the U.S. economy declines.

In Prineville, regular gas was selling Wednesday for $3.98.9 per gallon and diesel $4.37.9 per gallon at the Shell station on the town’s west end. Owner Randy Rasmussen said he’s also worried high diesel prices will hurt the town’s core industries of farming, ranching and wood processing.

He also blames the soaring fuel costs partly on speculators who buy up oil futures and hold onto them to drive up the prices before they sell and reap big profits.

However, he said, Congress and the Obama administration are also partly responsible because they have the power to rein in the oil speculators with regulations but have been “dragging their feet” since 2008, when gas prices soared to the record $4.10 peak.

Rasmussen said he believes the regulation proposed by Wyden and other senators will help in the short term, but he believes that action should be coupled with a release of some of the United States’ vast oil reserves. That strategy

has been used successfully by previous administrations to thwart past fuel price spikes, he said.

According to a report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, speculators hold futures and options on more than 228 million barrels of oil.

“That is more than one-third of the amount in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” according to the statement from Wyden and Cantwell.

Rasmussen said Congress and the Obama administration could easily reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil and drive fuel prices down by opening up development of vast oil fields discovered in Alaska, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming. New Mexico and other areas of the country.

“We are paying other countries for oil. I would rather see us keep the money in the United States and put people to work drilling wells and building refineries and pipelines,” Rasmussen said. “We would be putting money in our own pockets if we were developing our own oil fields.

“Landowners (with mineral rights) would get rich overnight from royalties on oil coming out of their ground,” Rasmussen said, adding that developing America’s oil fields and reducing dependence on foreign oil could help turn the economy around and bring boom times to oil-rich parts of the country.

Vilsack vows fixes for bias at USDA

By Krissah Thompson The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will quickly adopt most of the recommendations in a two-year study that looked at the USDA’s history of discrimination and its ongoing civil rights failings.

The recommendations range from making the department’s rural development programs more accessible to women to appointing a “chief diversity officer” in each of the agency’s state offices.

The $8 million assessment by an outside group was spurred by a promise from the Obama administration to bring “cultural transformation” to a department that has been guilty of some of the government’s most egregious cases of discrimination.

“There is a massive effort within USDA to change the culture,” Vilsack said in an interview. “There is a real commitment from the top down.”

reviews were preventing companies from trying to grow through acquisition.

Her route of departure was criticized by Craig Aaron, president and chief executive of Free Press, a media interest group that opposed the Comcast-NBC merger.

Aaron called the move “just the latest, though perhaps most blatant, example of a so-called public servant cashing in at a company she is supposed to be regulating.

“No wonder the public is so nauseated by business as usual in Washington, where the complete capture of government by industry barely raises any eyebrows,” Aaron said. “The continuously revolving door at the FCC continues to erode any prospects for good public policy.”

dustry,” Baker said in a statement.

“The continued deployment of our broadband infrastructures will meaningfully impact the lives of all Americans. I am happy to have played a small part in the success.”

Baker, one of two Republicans on the five-member commission, recently criticized the length of the commission’s review of the Comcast-NBC merger, which took 355 days. The FCC voted 4-1 in January for approval, subject to several conditions.

“The NBC/Comcast merger took too long, in my view,” Baker said March 2 in a speech to a communications industry group.

Noting that the amount of time was similar to the length of other major merger reviews at the commission, she asked whether those

Continued from B1 Four of the five have reserve prices between $85,000 and $170,000, which works out to between 92 cents and $1.30 per square foot. The fifth has no minimum bid.

Facebook got a little better of a deal when it bought 124 acres in January 2010 for $3.2 million.

But the Central Oregon Multiple Listing Service shows other industrial land for sale nearby around the same price. Similar land in Bend and Redmond, however, is listed between $3.50 and $5 a square foot.

The study, which officials described as voluminous, was not made public. Among its more than 200 recommendations, which were released Tuesday, were suggestions that the agency’s chief diversity officer monitor hiring, that farm service officials be required to “thoroughly” explain reasons for denying loans to minorities and women, and that the USDA mount public relations efforts to change the agency’s reputation by emphasizing its focus on diversity.

The study, by the Jackson Lewis consulting firm, dug into divisions within the department, which has been accused of discrimination ranging from denying minorities access to farm programs to refusing promotions for female middle managers. Tens of thousands of minority and female farmers and ranchers have filed and won civil rights settlements against the USDA, which also has faced thousands of discrimination complaints from its employees.

The prices fall far below what the land sold for in the real estate boom, according to Crook County records. All five lots in the auction sold for $754,000 in August 2006.

Umpqua Bank acquired the lots in April 2010 in lieu of foreclosure, according to county records. The lots vary in size, from 1.37 acres to 3.27 acres.

All five, along with Facebook’s data center, fall within a rural enterprise zone that provides a property tax abatement for up to 15 years.

Senators grill AT&T, T-Mobile CEOs about proposed merger

By Jim Puzzanghera Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — Tough questioning by skeptical senators showed the chief executives of AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA just how difficult it’s going to be to get regulatory approval for their proposed $39 billion merger.

“The more providers of cellphone service, the lower the price, the better the quality of service and the more innovation that results,” said Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., chairman of the Senate’s antitrust subcommittee.

“So the burden will squarely be on AT&T and T-Mobile to convince us why this merger is desirable, how it will benefit consumers, and to put aside our concerns that it may very well harm competition,” he said Wednesday during the first congressional hearing on the huge wireless deal.

AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson and T-Mobile CEO Philipp Humm struggled to do that.

They told senators that the merger would benefit consumers by allowing the combined company to deliver next-generation wireless service to more people than they could provide separately as available airwaves become scarce.

And they said the improved and expanded service would continue the wireless innovation that has driven prices down and would help increase high-speed wireless Internet access, a major goal of the Obama administration.

“It’s a very basic concept that, in any industry, greater capacity is a fundamental driver of competition,” Stephenson said. “Over the past decade, U.S. wireless prices have steadily come down, and

AT&T President and CEO Randall Stephenson, left, testifies Wednesday before the U.S. Senate Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee hearing on the proposed merger between T-Mobile and AT&T. T-Mobile President and CEO Philipp Humm is second from left; Sprint Nextel CEO Daniel Hesse is third from left. this transaction will allow that to continue.”

Several senators weren’t convinced and warned that the consolidation would push the U.S. wireless industry toward the type of monopoly that the old AT&T monopoly, often called Ma Bell, once had on the landline phone business.

The deal, announced in March, would combine the reorganized AT&T, the nation’s second-largest wireless provider, with No. 4 provider T-Mobile.

The new behemoth would vault ahead of Verizon Wireless to become the nation’s largest carrier. AT&T and Verizon would control nearly 80 percent of the market. The only other national provider, Sprint Nextel Corp., would be a distant third.

“I fear that, if approved, the merger would take us … one step away from the monopoly market we had under Ma Bell,”

said Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., adding that he believed wireless prices would rise and thousands of jobs could be lost.

The subcommittee’s top Republican, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, said although he generally believed that the government should stay out of the marketplace, he shared some of Kohl’s concerns and wanted the proposed merger to be reviewed carefully.

Congress has no vote on the deal, but opposition from lawmakers could influence regulators.

The Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission are reviewing the deal to determine whether it would harm wireless competition and would be in the public interest. Analysts have said the deal faces high hurdles in the Obama administration, which has vowed to be tougher on antitrust issues.

Merkley’s legislation aims to energize use of electric cars, spur infrastructure

By Andrew Clevenger The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., introduced legislation Wednesday intended to encourage use of electric cars as a way to reduce American dependence on foreign oil.

The “Promoting Electric Vehicles Act,” also sponsored by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., builds upon a similar bill introduced last year by now retired Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., that was co-sponsored

by Merkley and Alexander.

The bill proposes the creation of “deployment communities,” where

local governments would submit competitive grant applications to the Department of Energy for awards of up to $250 million. The grants would help encourage individuals to buy electric cars and help communities build the infrastructure needed to support the cars.

“With gas prices again surging, every American understands all too well the price we pay for our addiction to imported oil,” Merkley said in a prepared statement. “A third of all oil is burned in cars, so the rapid deployment of electric vehicles can be a major tool in breaking that addiction.

IN CONGRESS

We win three ways: by strengthening our national security; by keeping our energy dollars at home creating American jobs; and by improving our environment.”

One of the major obstacles for implementing new technologies is the chicken-and-egg problem, said Merkley spokeswoman Julie Edwards: With no infrastructure, such as a place to charge an electric car, few consumers are willing to buy. But without an existing demand, few areas will invest in installing charging stations. Deployment communities presumably could engage both sides at once, jump-starting the process.

Central Oregon Community College’s budget committee recommended the college’s 2011-12 budget to the COCC Board of Directors on Wednesday.

The operating budget for the coming school year is expected to be about $37.3 million.

That budget includes an 8.5 percent tuition hike for the 2011-12 school year.

Tuition will increase by $6, to $76 per credit for in-district students. Out-of-district and border-state students will see a $5 per-credit increase to $101. Out-of-state students will face a $9 per-credit increase to $204.

The college has increased tuition three times over the past three school years.

The board will decide whether to approve the budget at its June board meeting.

City leaders say they need more time to work on resolution allowing display of Nativity scene PRINEVILLE — The Prineville City Council decided Tuesday night it needs a few more weeks to work on a resolution that would allow a Nativity scene to be displayed on public property.

“I know you all want to hear an answer,” said Prineville Mayor Betty Roppe to the roughly 40 people in attendance. “We want to give that answer to you. Please give us a chance to weigh all the options.”

The council deadlocked on the issue at its April 26 meeting, voting 3-3 on a resolution that would establish a temporary “holiday plaza” each winter. That resolution obligated the city to “sponsor an annual Christmas display to be located at the plaza west of City Hall.”

Councilors disagreed at the April meeting about the use of the word “Christmas,” responding to concerns raised by David Fidanque, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. Fidanque said in April the way the city proposed to establish the holiday zone presented legal problems.

The council chose to move the vote to Tuesday, when absent councilor Jack Seley would be in attendance to break the tie. But instead of voting on the resolution, the council received an update from city attorney Carl Dutli and elected to enter into executive session to discuss the legal ramifications of the proposal.

Before entering the closed-door session, Dutli told councilors he may have discovered a way to allow the Nativity to be displayed in the plaza without opening the city to potential legal problems.

A Sisters man in jail since January on sex abuse charges will go to trial in September, Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Barbara Haslinger said Wednesday.

Thurlow Earnest Hanson, 76, was in court to enter a plea to four counts of first-degree sex abuse, dating from 2003. He declined to enter a plea, as he has

in prior court appearances.

Hanson faces extradition for an additional warrant out of New York for first-degree sexual conduct against a child.

Hanson was arrested Jan. 4, when a Deschutes County deputy on patrol spotted him in the front yard of his home near Sisters and attempted to approach him regarding the warrants.

DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL OREGON

Study: Industrial sites needed

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Governments in Central Oregon need to identify at least six large industrial sites that are ready for immediate development in order for the region to compete for major new employers, according to a Deschutes County study.

The sites should range from 50 acres to more than 200 acres and be spread out among at least three jurisdictions — cit-

ies and counties — to provide choices for companies, according to a county staff presentation Wednesday. A draft of the study states that a lack of large, development-ready sites has “emerged as one of Oregon’s most severe development challenges.”

Now comes the hard part: making it work.

Deschutes County officials say they can’t do it all. Other cities and counties will have to

pull their share to implement the study’s recommendations.

Commissioner Tammy Baney said that while she wants the study to benefit the region, she hopes other cities and counties do not expect Deschutes County to bear the cost of carrying out the suggestions.

“What if two of the three jurisdictions say, ‘I’m really sorry, but we can’t contribute’?” Baney said.

MISSING CANADIAN COUPLE

911 call highlights woman’s plight “I can’t imagine getting off the highway in this country at that time of year, even this time of year,� Basanez balked, looking up at the peaks that disappear into gray clouds. “The minute the guy got off the highway, he should have realized he’s in trouble.�

By Brian Skoloff and John Miller The Associated Press

MOUNTAIN CITY, Nev. — Even for 911 operators, the idea that a woman had spent seven weeks in the Nevada wilderness alone in a van and survived was unbelievable. “She’s been in it for a month?� an incredulous Elko County dispatcher said during the emergency call from the hunters who found Rita Chretien in the stranded van Friday. The hunters had just driven nine miles on ATVs through snow and mud to a remote ranch house to find a phone. “She says March 19,� Chad Herman said. “She’s about dead, and her husband took off about a month ago and never came back, so I’m sure he’s dead.�

Remote and rugged The 911 tape, released Wednesday to The Associated Press and other media outlets, provides another glimpse of the inhospitable conditions where Chretien was stranded for 48 days — and where searchers are still looking for her husband, Albert Chretien, 59.

Albert Chretien set out on foot in search of help three days after the couple’s van got stuck on a muddy road and hasn’t been seen since.

Rita Chretien, 56, stayed with the van, surviving for seven weeks on trail mix, hard candy and water from a nearby stream until the trio of hunters spotted her.

Herman told the dispatcher Rita Chretien was “really weak� when they found her and had draped colorful blankets from the van’s windows to

As he described her location, a helicopter scrambled into action.

The terrain was so remote, the conditions so difficult, that a sheriff’s sergeant who joined the nearly nine-minute 911 call wasn’t certain if rescuers on the ground could reach the van.

Herman advised them not to come from the Elko side, to the south. “From where she’s at, toward Elko, is all snowed-in and washed-out,� Herman said. “We got in on four-wheelers, and we were having a real tough time.�

Herman’s hunting party eventually met the rescue helicopter back near the van. The chopper then whisked Rita Chretien toward a hospital in Twin Falls, Idaho, where she remained until being sent home with her family Tuesday for

treatment in British Columbia.

Those familiar with the backcountry where Rita Chretien was found say they know its dangers and don’t even venture into the area in winter, which can sometimes last into May.

Roads turn to ‘mush’ “Them mountains are nasty, some of the gnarliest mountains you ever seen,� said Bill Landon, one of only about 20 year-round Mountain City residents. “The mud up there is something terrible. You sink up to your knees in it. When it rains back there, those roads turn to plumb mush.�

It’s hard to imagine how anyone, let alone outsiders, would attempt the off-road crossing the Chretiens tried, said Mel Basanez, a 74-year-old retired grocery store owner who has lived here most of his life.

A team of about 20 on horseback and all-terrain vehicles set out Wednesday to look for Albert Chretien over miles of muck, snow drifts and washedout roads.

The search also is getting help from at least one airplane, said Sgt. Kevin McKinney, spokesman for the Elko County Sheriff’s Office. It was called off Tuesday because of flooding threats and rainy weather.

The Chretiens were last seen on surveillance video March 19 while stopping for gas in Oregon.

It’s not clear where they traveled next or what route they took into the spider web of forest roads that wind across the mountains.

The couple from Penticton, British Columbia, is believed to have turned their 2000 Chevrolet van, equipped with only two-wheel drive, off a highway somewhere in southern Idaho or northeastern Nevada near Mountain City looking for a shortcut to Jackpot, a stop in Nevada on their way to a Las Vegas trade show.

McKinney said the Chretiens used their new GPS to find the shortest route to Jackpot. If they had typed the town’s name into the device from anywhere in the area, the shortest route would have led them off-highway and along possibly a half-dozen different Forest Service roads labeled only with numbers.

O Students take part in a mock graduation ceremony at the state Capitol on Wednesday. The ceremony was intended to show support for a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to pay instate tuition to attend Oregon universities.

House panel takes up immigrant tuition bill

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — Passionate citizens told Oregon lawmakers Wednesday that giving some illegal immigrants subsidized university tuition would be rewarding lawbreakers and harming a cashstrapped state. Others told their elected officials they have an opportunity to take a stand on a basic issue of fairness.

Lawmakers on the House Rules Committee heard more than two hours of public testimony Wednesday on one of the most emotion-packed issues facing legislators this year: a proposal to allow illegal immigrants who attended high school in Oregon to pay in-state tuition at public universities.

“What the bill would allow is contrary to what our country stands for,” said Don Nash, of Lake Oswego.

The committee has not scheduled a vote on SB 742, which passed the Senate in March with support from all 15 Democrats who were present and three Republicans.

“It’s not my fault my parents brought me here,” said 14year-old Alicio Reyes, who was brought to the U.S. from Mexico when he was 3. “I’m just a kid whose smart enough to know I want to go to college someday.”

Bill’s future uncertain At least one member of each political party must sign on to advance the bill out of the House committee, which is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. Its prospects in the committee are uncertain, but proponents could call for a vote of the full House if they can show they have enough support to pass it.

IN THE LEGISLATURE The measure would require universities to charge in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who attended at least five years of school in the United States, at least three of them in Oregon.

They must be dependent on another adult for support and apply to college within three years of receiving a high school or GED diploma.

The hearing comes a day after President Barack Obama called on Congress to overhaul the immigration system.

The in-state tuition would be good for up to five years at one of seven universities governed by the State Board of Higher Education. Students would be required to attest that they have applied for legal residency — a provision aimed at ensuring they’re eligible to work in the U.S. after they receive a degree.

Still, opponents of the measure question whether many illegal immigrants would ever complete the long, expensive immigration process to become eligible to work in the United States. Illegal activity should never be excused, opponents say, and the state should not give illegal immigrants a benefit that isn’t available to U.S. citizens who live in other states.

“The word illegal already indicates a breaking of laws,” said Cliff Girod, of Salem. “To allow anyone here illegally to take advantage of subsidized tuition is grossly unfair to our legal citizens.”

Proponents of the legislation say undocumented minors who

graduate from Oregon high schools are brought into the country by their parents, and some are brought as toddlers and have few ties to their home country. Those students shouldn’t be punished for their parents’ crimes, they argue.

And, proponents say, the state should help students be productive residents after investing in years of public education.

Paz Ramos, principal of Alder Elementary School in Portland, said his school promotes college to students beginning in kindergarten.

“We have set high expectations for all of our students: You are going to college no matter what,” Thomas said. “That dream can be a reality for more students if this bill is passed.”

Man recovers from crash in Medford that left him with traumatic injuries

By Teresa Ristow The (Medford) Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — Nearly two years after a motorcycle crash put Mike Harris in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury, the 24-year-old Sams Valley man is living to ride again.

“What I learned, I don’t know how to describe it,” said Harris.

Harris said he was riding motorcycles with friends in the parking lot of the former Slick Kart go-cart track in Medford on May 15, 2009, when he hit the air for a 50-foot jump.

“I don’t even remember unloading my bike or riding it,” said Harris.

A shaky landing caused Harris to fall from his bike.

His head and shoulder hit the ground hard, landing him in the hospital with massive brain trauma.

Harris spent more than three weeks in a coma and another month in the hospital before finally coming home.

“That part of my life is so foggy,” said Harris, who didn’t feel fully healed until about a month ago.

Full recovery Harris said he’s made a full recovery over the last two years.

“It wiped my mind out and I started fresh.”

Doctors at Providence Medford Medical Center where Harris was treated were impressed with his quick, complete recovery, he said.

“There were a lot of times when we didn’t think it would be possible,” said Michelle Sanders, Harris’ physical therapist.

“His recovery definitely sur-

passed what our expectations in the beginning were.”

Sanders was there with Harris from his time in the intensive care unit until the day he walked out the door, and credits his strong recovery to his own good attitude.

“He was a hard worker and has a positive attitude and we were all impressed with the work he did,” Sanders said.

Injured again Harris tried riding a motorcycle again in February 2010 and broke his collarbone on his first day out — still not enough to keep him off a motorcycle, however.

“It runs in my blood. I love riding motorcycles,” said Harris, who’s been riding for as long as he can remember. “My bike’s going to have to put me in the ground before I ever stop riding.

“I’m planning to buy a new bike for myself in the near future.”

Harris said he has a new outlook after his crash and is serious about religion for the first time in his life.

“All these people kept saying they were praying for me, and I got better. There must be a God.” Harris is also thankful for the support from his family, including his aunt and uncle, who set him up on the Oregon Health Plan after realizing he had no insurance after the crash. Harris believes his medical bills would have racked up to about $750,000 over the past two years.

“I am so grateful,” Harris said.

“I owe it to my friends, family, and the state of Oregon.”

O B Explosion at lumber mill kills 1, injures 2 PORTLAND — An explosion at a rural lumber mill near Portland has killed one man and injured two others.

Gaston Fire District spokesman Ken Bilderback said 60year-old Steve Allen, of Forest Grove, was killed Wednesday afternoon in the explosion at the Stimson Lumber plant.

Allen was flown to a Portland hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two other workers were injured when a 6-foot-long cylinder called a hydraulic accumulator exploded in the mill’s maintenance shop. Bilderback said the men were dismantling the cylinder, which they thought was not pressurized, but the end of it blew off under high pressure.

The spokesman says a 58year-old Yamhill man is believed to have a broken leg and other injuries and was taken to a Portland hospital. A 40-yearold Forest Grove man suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to a community hospital.

State issues wolf kill permits to 8 ranchers SALEM — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued permits for eight ranchers to kill wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock.

The department says the ranchers are all in range of the Imnaha pack and have already used nonlethal methods to protect their herds, such as special fences, range riders and removing bone piles.

The Imnaha pack has been blamed for 10 livestock attacks since last year. Two other wolf packs in Oregon have not.

— From wire reports

Prohibitive costs Illegal immigrants are not prohibited from attending private universities but they must pay out-of-state tuition, which is often prohibitively expensive.

The difference between resident and nonresident tuition is different at every school but can be significant. At the University of Oregon, in-state tuition this year is $8,190, compared with $25,830 for an illegal immigrant, out-of-state student or international student.

Opponents of the bill argued it would force the universities to give up thousands in lost revenue from students who otherwise would pay nonresident tuition.

The measure would take effect beginning in the 2012-13 school year. University officials project they’d take on three additional students in the first year and 33 additional students the following year.

Bend was right to settle lawsuit

D

on’t let the city of Bend’s wrong decision from a decade ago undermine the right things the city is trying to do now.

The City Council recently made the right decision to settle

its long-standing lawsuit over the former Juniper Utility Co. The city will pay $6.1 million to developer Jan Ward. That brings the total to $12 million spent on the case.

It’s not hard to find mistakes the city has made. But the city cannot freeze.

In 2001, the then-Bend City Council also made the right decision to take over Juniper. Residents complained they could not get enough water pressure to take showers, wash laundry or flush a toilet. The city tried some fixes and then stepped in to protect city residents by condemning the utility.

But at that time, the city did the wrong thing by taking over the utility without properly paying for it.

The city can’t do that. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says private property shall not “be taken for public use, without just compensation.” At one point in 2002, the city offered the pitiable sum of $580,000. Courts put the value of the utility closer to $6 million.

Some have used that mistake by the city and stitched it together with the city’s other costly flops. They use those to build the argument that Bend cannot be trusted to spend taxpayer money well. So, the argument goes, vote no on the city’s $30 million bond to do a host of road improvements and roundabout additions around the city.

Those mistakes cannot undermine everything the city wants to do in the future. Nothing could be more destructive for the city.

The roads still need to be fixed.

Clean water still needs to flow. Public safety must be ensured.

It’s up to city staff and councilors to learn from the city’s mistakes. It’s up to the city’s residents to keep a skeptical eye on what the city is doing and vote into office those who they believe will best manage the city.

Bend needs the road improvements in the bond. The bond also does not increase property taxes.

The cost of the bond — 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value or $54 a year for a house with an assessed value of $200,000 — is offset by the expiration of a 27 cents per $1,000 levy for urban renewal.

Bend is synonymous with a great place to live and a great place to vacation. It’s not OK to let it become just OK.

More OLCC meddling T

he Oregon Liquor Control Commission is back in the news, and once more the story leaves one wondering what value this agency offers residents of Oregon. While the story — OLCC officials have been working closely with a lobbyist who represents beer and wine distributors to defeat a bill before the Legislature — may center more on smoke than substance, it offers a clear demonstration of what is wrong with the system the agency embodies.

The measure in question, Senate Bill 438, would cut out the middleman. Retailers would have the right to buy wine from wholesalers and wineries, store it in their own warehouses and deliver it to their own stores.

Currently a distributor must buy the wine, store it and sell it to the grocer or other retailer. The OLCC says the change would make it harder to track wine and more expensive to collect the taxes owed on it. It also, we suspect, would make wine cheaper at the grocery store.

What has set the teeth on edge of such disparate senators as Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, and Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, is a series of e-mails between OLCC director Steve Pharo and lobbyist Paul Romain, who works for beer and wine distribu-

tors. In them, Romain offers Pharo advice about how best to oppose the legislation.

If the senators are truly shocked by the exchanges, that is surprising.

Lobbyists do much of the legwork in Salem, and parties to almost every bill considered consult them from time to time. Two seasoned pols like Johnson and Atkinson surely are aware of that.

Johnson did, though, make a good point. The e-mails show Gov. John Kitzhaber’s office instructed the OLCC to remain neutral on the initial version of the bill. It has not remained neutral.

The OLCC argues that tax collections would be more difficult without distributors. That is hard to believe in this age of computers.

The OLCC does many good things for Oregon. It enforces laws against underage drinking and trains servers to deal with those who overindulge.

At the same time, it has created a system that eliminates competition, drives up prices and is so full of arcane rules and regulations as to be positively Byzantine. The real shame about SB 438 is that it doesn’t simply dissolve the agency and start again from scratch.

Editor’s note: Because of the volume of election-related letters and guest column submissions, it is unlikely that elec-

tion-related submissions received today or later will be able to be published before the May 17 election.

My Nickel’s Worth Perry for Redmond schools Tell me, please! Why would anyone who is retired want a full-time job?

Don’t ask me, ask Bob Perry, who is running for the Redmond School Board, Position 5.

Bob has shown his ability to lead, problem solve and communicate in his very successful career working in corporate America. Now he wants to use that same skill set to help our students in the Redmond School District to achieve what Bob’s generation attained through hard work, solid education and understanding. Bob will be tireless in his quest to get back to where we should be in our schools.

If you want a full-time board member who will work full time for our kids, vote Bob Perry for Position 5 on the Redmond School Board.

Jerry Nist Redmond

Rodby for Redmond schools My letter is in support of Paul Rodby’s re-election to the Redmond School Board, Position 5.

Several years ago, I had the pleasure of working alongside Paul Rodby as he volunteered his time serving on the district’s budget committee. During our deliberations, he brought his considerable business acumen and leadership personality to the table.

What struck me most was his dedication to the well-being of the school district and the students and parents it is funded to serve. Such keen understanding, coupled with his no-nonsense approach to the issues facing the district, continue to serve our community particularly well.

For that, Paul Rodby has earned my

vote, and he will continue to do so in support of his long-standing commitment to provide a quality education for the students in our schools.

When you mark your ballot May 17, I encourage your vote to retain Paul Rodby for Position 5 on the Redmond School Board.

Don Fields Redmond

Vote yes on road bond When I moved to Bend from back East six years ago, I was unrealistically hopeful that no one else would move here — that Bend would remain the lovely little town that I fell in love with!

But change is inevitable, and whether I like it or not, Bend will continue to grow.

I just hope we can all help Bend to grow gracefully and vote “yes” for Measure 9-83 for road improvements.

Marie Matthews Bend

Vote no on road bond Vote no on the Bend road bond.

About $9 million dollars is to be spent for the construction of three roundabouts. Do we need or even want roundabouts?

I’ve seen instances of near accidents because of cars in the roundabout with their right turn signals on that don’t turn at the first turnoff but continue until the second and even third turnoff.

Has a study been done to determine whether our current turnoffs are any safer, or are they more dangerous than when these intersections had stop signs?

Also, are construction companies going to be allowed to bid if they use

nonunion labor? I recently read that the use of union labor increases overall costs by 18 to 20 percent?

Until we determine whether we even want roundabouts and whether we’re getting the best bang for the dollar, we should hold off on approving any huge commitment of taxpayer dollars in these tough times.

Jan Hus Bend

Gottlieb for Bend parks Bend is a very active city, and the most active thing we can do is to ensure a continued commitment to our city’s quality of life.

I find that a very real way to do that is to support Justin Gottlieb for the park district board on the May 17 ballot.

I have gotten to know Justin personally over the past nine months. I have found him to be a loyal friend, but beyond that, I have experienced his passion for the community.

He has a very real interest in working for the people, and he truly wants to see the quality of life improved. He is innovative and will be an independent oversight to one of Bend’s greatest assets: the Bend Park & Recreation District.

His background is comprehensive, and it is evident that he will be a successful representative of our community; he has a master’s degree in public administration, he is a published author and a national award winner for good government communication, and he has U.S. Senate experience. This has given him an instinct for responding to the needs and desires of our community.

Proposed change to Oregon’s bottle law has problems

By Mike McLane Bulletin guest columnist

F

orty years ago, Oregon stepped out as a leader in the recycling movement and adopted landmark legislation known as the “bottle bill.”

We heard on the House floor this week from Rep. Vicki Berger, R-Salem, that her father, the bottle bill’s original champion, was more concerned about recycling than litter when he brought the concept forward. Forty years ago, a bill solving a litter problem was easier to explain than a bill designed to preserve future economic resources for our state.

It makes sense then on the 40th anniversary of such an historic piece of legislation that expanding the bottle bill through House Bill 3145 would be a fitting legacy for Oregon’s commitment to the environment. In fact, Rep. Berger has much to be proud of in her efforts to modernize the bill. The bill covers additional plastics and aluminum beverage containers for items that were originally left out, like iced tea and juice. That is a good thing and I sup-

port it. As a legislator and a father with young children, finding a balance between utilizing resources for a healthy, prosperous life now and ensuring there are enough resources for my grandchildren later is an absolute priority.

However, the modernized bottle bill has a few flaws that should be addressed, both of which revolve around my concerns about the hunger problem we have in Oregon.

First is the burden we place on schools that are suffering from a lack of funds and whose food service staff are working diligently on trying to find ways to help children access food throughout the day.

In 2007, when the Legislature expanded the bottle bill by adding bottled water, Julie Parrish, a former school food service director and now a state representative, offered an amendment to exclude schools from being charged a nickel by their distributors. Our public schools are the leaders in recycling, and these bottles get recycled rather than redeemed.

Every nickel that a school district has to

IN MY VIEW absorb on single-serve bottles is a nickel off the plates of children in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables, diminished summer meals programs or limited breakfast offerings. The amendment for schools wasn’t accepted in 2007, and it cost schools in Oregon thousands of dollars in lost nickels. The cost will be much more under HB 3145.

A bill in the Ways and Means Committee, Senate Bill 840, would put $180,000 into mini-grants to help schools offer snacks and after-school feeding options for children in need. If we could exempt schools from HB 3145 as it moves to the Senate for consideration, we can put more money back in the pockets of school food service programs across the state that are faced with rising food and labor costs.

Another flaw with HB 3145: When beverages are purchased by Oregonians with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance

Program (SNAP, or food stamps) dollars, the cost of the container deposit reduces the benefit that is meant to buy food. If the SNAP benefit is designed to feed people, then we shouldn’t be charging a deposit against the Oregon Trail Card. Under the expanded bottle bill, the deposit on containers can rise to 10 cents, and that means a case of bottled water will draw down $2.40 of money meant for food — that’s almost 3 pounds of fresh apples at the current market price. Even if the beverage containers are redeemed, there is no guarantee the cash will be used for food.

Finally, another flaw with HB 3145 is an urban versus rural concern. The bill includes language for the creation of redemption centers to alleviate the burden at the grocery store. The pilot program for redemption centers will take place in large urban communities. That leaves smaller grocers to handle the increase in recyclables at the store level. In many of our rural communities, the stores are small operations. The increase in redeem-

able containers will cause an undue hardship that I don’t believe the bill’s sponsors intended but will definitely take place, mostly in rural areas. And, after the year 2018, HB 3145 permits a state agency to make decisions about what new containers can carry a deposit. The Legislature should not delegate that authority.

So while I voted no on HB 3145, I’ll be advocating for amendments on the Senate side to address my concerns about the unforeseen impact on Oregon’s hunger problems and the implications for rural communities. We can all agree Oregon’s bottle bill has done wonders for preserving the beauty of our environment and has helped us recapture important resources. When HB 3145 is fixed to address rural stores and hunger issues across Oregon, we can all celebrate what 40 more years of the bottle bill will do to help the Oregonians of tomorrow.

Prineville Continued from C1 “(The ACLU was) saying the resolution runs afoul of the Oregon Constitution,” Dutli said.

“Strictly from a legal standpoint, it is my recommendation that if possible that the siting and care and display of the Nativity be done by a group other than the council.”

As long as the city has nothing to do with the actual placement or upkeep of the Nativity, Dutli believes, the council can designate the holiday plaza without incurring legal risk.

Roppe said after the meeting that in the coming weeks she will speak to community members who may wish to be caretakers of the Nativity scene.

She said she hopes to know whether such a plan would work before taking up the issue at the next council meeting, on May 24.

Forest grew up in Utah, until joining the Air Forest Eugene Force. After Husbands leaving the military he returned to Salt Lake City, met and married Atheda Webster, they wed May 4, 1957. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Forest loved his family and being in the outdoors; farming, ranching, fishing and most of all hunting.

Survived by his wife, Atheda of 54 years; two children, Debbie McKay, son-in-law, Darrell, Estacada, Tracy Husbands, daughter-in-law, Sally (Kelly), Salem; four grandchildren, Shane and Christopher McKay, Tyler and Melissa Husbands; and one greatgrandson, Zak McKay; two brothers and one sister.

Graveside service will be held Friday, May 13, at 11:45 a.m., at Willamette National Cemetery, 11800 SE Mt. Scott Blvd, Portland, OR. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made to the Crooked River Ranch Fire Department, 6971 SW Shad Rd., Crooked River Ranch, OR 97760.

Deschutes County planners will not have time to implement the study recommendations for the entire region because they need to spend time on other land use issues that county commissioners also want completed, Planning Director Nick Lelack said.

“I think the (study) outcome is, there’s clearly a need for a supply of large lot employment land in Central Oregon, and now Central Oregon communities need to determine how we’re going to work together to manage that

trance of Prineville City Hall has persisted since December.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national nonprofit group dedicated to the separation of church and state, complained about the display on behalf of an unnamed Prineville resident.

The city has received multiple letters on the subject, and several residents have spoken to the council. Residents have expressed multiple viewpoints, but most would like the Nativity scene to be displayed in some fashion.

Seley made a point Tuesday night to remind the public of the council’s objectives.

“It’s important we stress what (the) council’s goals really are,” Seley said before reading from the resolution. “Whereas the city of Prineville wishes to remain a welcoming place for people of all beliefs and show no particular favor to any belief.”

TV’s ‘Champagne Lady’ Norma Zimmer dies at 87

By Lynn Elber The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Norma Zimmer, the “Champagne Lady” of TV’s “The Lawrence Welk Show” and a studio singer who worked with Frank Sinatra and other pop stars, has died.

She was 87.

Zimmer died peacefully Tuesday at her Brea, Calif., home, Welk’s son, Larry, said Wednesday. Larry Welk didn’t know the cause of death but said Zimmer had been living an active life in recent years.

“She was one of the most gracious, likable people that anyone could ever meet. The other people on the show, to this day, just respect and love her,” Larry Welk said.

Zimmer performed on Welk’s network and later syndicated show from 1960 to 1982 as the “Champagne Lady,” the title Welk traditionally gave to his orchestra’s lead female singer.

Zimmer sang solos, duets with Jimmy Roberts and waltzed with Welk to the strains of his effervescent dance tunes tagged “champagne music.”

She appeared on the orchestra’s public TV specials that have aired (along with repeats of the series) since 1987. Zimmer took part in a tribute to Welk and his show held earlier this year at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills.

Welk, who stopped performing in 1989, died in 1992.

and TV appearances, including one with Crosby in the 1950 film “Mr. Music” and in an episode of “I Love Lucy,” and was the voice of the White Rose in the 1951 Disney film, “Alice in Wonderland.”

our area,” Peter Gutowsky, the county’s principal planner, told the commissioners Wednesday.

While some large industrial properties will likely be identified within cities, other sites might be outside urban growth boundaries. Lelack said cities could use the analysis to argue for the expansion of their urban growth boundaries to take in these large sites.

Funding for the study came from a $75,500 grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, and local governments provided in-kind resources, such as work

by Deschutes County planners.

Portland consulting firm Johnson Reid also worked on the analysis.

Burt Reinhardt, who as the detail-minded, taciturn television executive behind his more extroverted boss, Ted Turner, played a crucial role in the formative years of CNN and the 24-hour cable news cycle, died on Tuesday at his home in Marietta, Ga. He was 91.

The cause was complications from a series of strokes, his daughter, Cheryl Reinhardt, said.Reinhardt, who got his journalistic start as a combat photographer in World War II, was president of CNN from 1983 to 1990. He had been executive vice president since 1980, when Turner started the company.

“I’m not sure CNN would be here without him,” Turner said on Wednesday.

During his eight years as president, Reinhardt oversaw the opening of news bureaus around the world and the creation of shows like “Crossfire” and “Larry King Live.” He supervised the development of the network’s computerized newsroom.

Reinhardt ordered live coverage of many events, including all the space shuttle launches. That enabled CNN to provide live coverage of the Challenger explosion on Jan. 28, 1986.

Sawyers

A forum on the study, which is called the Central Oregon Large Lot Industrial Regional Economic Opportunities Analysis, is scheduled for 4 p.m. May 24.

After that, government officials will work out how to implement the findings.

During a presentation to the Deschutes County Commission on Wednesday, the county’s planning staff said the report calls for cities and counties to band together as a region to prepare an inventory of land that is ready for development so they can market a larger workforce and be more competitive.

“We need to be working as a cohesive unit, as a tri-county region, to market ourselves and try to motivate recruiters to visit

Police Department, Hanson was persuaded to surrender after about an hour. The dog shot by the deputy was found dead on the back steps of Hanson’s home.

Brendon Alexander, Hanson’s attorney, told the court Wednesday his client wants additional time to collect materials needed for his defense. Much of the material is at his home, Alexander said, and cannot be accessed

while he is jailed.

“He just doesn’t have anybody else to get the information he wants to get,” Alexander said.

Hanson’s bail is set at $100,000, requiring him to post $10,000 to be released from jail.

Haslinger said Hanson’s bail is already lower than most other judges would allow and as low as she is comfortable with. She refused to consider reducing the

amount.

Hanson also told the court he has unspecified health issues and must leave jail to address them before going to trial.

Alexander said Hanson is attempting to sell some property that will allow him to post bail.

Electric

the development of longer-lasting batteries.

According to figures provided

by Merkley’s office, 57 percent of the oil used in America is imported, with 70 percent of those imports coming from beyond North America. The daily price tag for America’s overseas oil use is $1 billion.

And in the transportation sector, which Merkley calls “the circulatory system of our economy,” 95 percent of the energy is provided by oil. Merkley projects that deploying electric cars and improving fuel economy for passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks could trim America’s oil usage by more than 5 million barrels per day by 2030.

Gas prices are already putting a heavy burden on families, Edwards said, when filling up your car can easily cost $40 or $50. An additional benefit of building on American ingenuity and knowhow would be “lessening our reliance on countries that do not always have our best interests at heart,” she said.

The Obama administration also supports the implementa-

tion of electric cars, she said, adding that similar legislation also has bipartisan support in the House.

“Electrifying half our cars and trucks within 20 years would reduce our dependence on oil by about a third, from about 20 million to about 13 million barrels a day, and would give people who drive them the patriotic pleasure of not sending money overseas to people trying to blow us up,” Alexander said in a news release. “Electrifying half our cars and trucks is the single best way to reduce our dependence on oil, and if enough Americans drove them, it would also be the single best way to avoid $4-a-gallon gas.”

Continued from C1 The indictment alleges that between January 2004 and January 2009 the couple used investor money to pay for personal property, leaving investors with a loss of more than $4.4 million.

Courtroom Deputy Paul Bruch said Coffin made no decision Wednesday.

“The judge has taken their request to change pretrial release conditions under advisement,” he said. “He’s asked the parties to confer and advise him if they want to have another hearing.”

According to federal court records, two of Sawyers’ victims spoke at the hearing.

Bruch said the parties will try to find other alternatives to returning the passports, then will inform the court if they come up with alternatives and want a new hearing.

No specific alternatives were offered during the hearing, Bruch said.

In a Deschutes County Circuit Court hearing in April, the pair’s attorneys said they’d like their passports returned so they can travel to Mexico to care for properties they own there.

Their passports have been held since October 2009 when Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Forte held the Sawyers in contempt for refusing to testify during debtors exams. In April 2010 and again in February 2011, Forte denied the Sawyers’ petitions to return their passports. But Tami Sawyer recently won her appeal on the contempt charge, and in April, Forte withdrew his order requiring attorneys to hold the passports as a contempt sanction. Now they’re held with the federal pretrial services department in Eugene.

Tami Sawyer’s attorney Marc Blackman said in April that the couple’s passports are expired.

Neither Blackman nor Shaun McCrea, Kevin Sawyer’s attorney, returned calls for comment.

— Tammy Baney, Deschutes County commissioner supply of land, because there are going to be limited sites,” Lelack said. “But we’ve had jurisdictions from La Pine to Madras, and Sisters to Prineville, including all the counties, participate, so we’re going to have to work together to determine how those sites are allocated.”

Forum set for May 24

Continued from C1 The legislation would cost $3 billion over five years, with roughly $2 billion going toward deployment communities, she said. That’s a $1 billion reduction from the bill’s previous incarnation, which reflects the shift in the budgeting landscape in Congress over the past year. However, because officials haven’t identified a cost offset, the funding would be an authorization, she said.

The bill requires the Department of Energy and the General Services Administration to assess government agencies to look for opportunities to convert to electric fleets.

It also encourages private companies and organizations to convert their fleets, Edwards said. If FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service committed to electric fleets, that would represent a significant signal to others that the technology is achieving broader acceptance.

There is also a research component to the legislation aimed at

A prep sports roundup headlined “Storm girls golfers take district, eye state,” that appeared in Tuesday’s Bulletin on Page D4 contained incorrect information.

Sisters High won the Sky-Em League boys golf tournament and Cottage Grove took second.

The Bulletin regrets the errors.

Today’s baseball rosters are filled with names, not nicknames, not like the ones that used to be.

The NBA playoffs are equally devoid of onomastic pleasures, just cheap echoes of Magic and the Mailman, Tiny and Tree, Chief and Cornbread. The NFL cannot match the treasured nicknames that evoke folk heroes like Night Train, Hacksaw and the Refrigerator.

A part of sports, somewhere near the soul, is slowly dying an unimaginative death. In an age of A-Rod and D-Wade, when nicknames rarely conjure imagery beyond a corporate logo, it can be easy to bemoan the loss of another slice of simpler times.

“There’s no substance there,” said Hall of Fame basketball player Walt Frazier, also known as Clyde.

But sociologists and experts in onomastics, the study of names, said the diminishment of nicknames is not exclusive to famous athletes. Studies on the subject are few, but there is widespread agreement that the use of nicknames across American society has steadily slipped.

“You just have to extrapolate in places where you can gather data, like baseball players,” said Cleveland Evans, an associate professor of psychology at Bellevue University in Nebraska, who writes a regular column on names for The Omaha WorldHerald. “And they are certainly less common than they used to be.”

Less certain is why. Maybe it reflects a loss of intimacy and connectedness. Maybe it is because of the changing way we name children, or how we now deflect unflattering nicknames to shape our own identities. Maybe all the good nicknames are taken.

Whatever the case, the decline is most easily gauged in sports, where nicknames have long played a role in distinguishing and, at times, deifying athletes.

They often arrived with a nickname given by family or school friends. (Such was the case for Lawrence Peter Berra, called Yogi by a boyhood friend for his apparent similarity to a film version of a Hindu yogi.)

See Nicknames / D5

Not many current players have a nickname like Boston’s Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis.

A number of fishing ponds in Central Oregon are open to youth only. Parents and guardians can assist their children in fishing on these ponds. Pine Nursery Pond in Bend is open to family fishing, meaning adults can fish right along with their kids.

By Mark Morical For parents who want to get their kids started in fishing, Central Oregon might be the perfect place.

The region is home to rivers and lakes that are world-renowned for trout fishing.

But the many small, easy-access fishing ponds in Central Oregon might be just as valuable a resource when it comes to teaching a youngster how to fish.

These ponds are not blue-ribbon fisheries. But they are places where kids can throw out a worm or some PowerBait and experience the thrill of a fish on the end of their line for the first time.

“You would be amazed at how quickly young kids can get incredibly proficient at angling,” says Brett Hodgson, a Bendbased fisheries biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Hodgson recalls that his daughter, who was just 8 at the time, landed 20 trout on a fly rod her first time fishing.

WASHINGTON — At the cost of a $1 million fine, the Fiesta Bowl will keep its place in the Bowl Championship Series.

The BCS presidential oversight committee imposed the penalty Wednesday in the wake of a scandal at the Arizona-based game that included apparently illegal campaign contributions from staff and lavish spending by the former CEO on parties and a night at a strip club.

Under the ruling, the Fiesta Bowl can remain part of the system for deciding college football’s national champion, though in addition to the fine it also must meet certain BCS demands such as strengthening the Fiesta Bowl’s board and imposing greater supervision over bowl executives.

“The message is they had cleaned house and addressed their problems, but our group doesn’t believe they went far enough,” Bill Hancock, executive director of the BCS, said in a telephone interview. He added that the $1 million fine was meant to reflect the “serious nature of the matter.”

The BCS called for the money to be donated to charities serving Arizona youth.

In a statement, Fiesta Bowl Chairman Duane Woods said: “The Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors understands and accepts the sanctions imposed by the BCS. We think that these tough but fair measures are consistent with our commitment to reform the Fiesta Bowl’s governance and rebuild trust. The fine is substantial, but we are pleased that the BCS has directed that the funds benefit the youth of Arizona.”

The bowl shouldn’t have much trouble coming up with the cash. In a filing with the IRS this year, the Fiesta Bowl listed more than $15 million in net assets.

The oversight committee Wednesday accepted recommendations made in a report by a BCS task force, which said it was “deeply troubled” by the Fiesta Bowl’s actions.

Those actions, the task force said, strongly suggest “that the bowl’s executive staff frequently acted with scant regard for ethics and proper conduct. Further, it is the opinion of the task force that the bowl’s board of directors over the years was negligent in its oversight responsibilities.”

Both the task force and the oversight committee are chaired by Penn State University President Graham Spanier.

Bend High baserunner Grant Newton beats a throw home for a run against Mountain View Wednesday at Mountain View High School.

Bulletin staff report

Inside

Bend senior Michael Hirko scattered five hits over seven innings and his offense recorded eight extra-base hits Wednesday as the Lava Bears pounded Mountain View 17-5 in both teams’ Class 5A Intermountain Conference baseball finale.

The Cougars (5-3 5A IMC, 17-6 overall), who entered Tuesday’s game at Mountain View ranked No. 1 in the Oregon School Activities Association’s 5A power rank-

ings, clinched the 5A IMC title on Monday with a 15-1 rout of Bend. The Lava Bears (4-4 5A IMC, 17-7), who finished second in league, rebounded Wednesday, though, posting 17 hits against four Mountain View pitchers.

S B Baseball • Poor weather ends Oregon-Seattle game in a tie: Oregon and Seattle played to a 7-7 tie Wednesday, as poor weather forced the game in Bellevue, Wash., to end in the 10th inning. Seattle fought back from a two-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings.

Play began in the top of the 10th and the Ducks loaded the bases, but the game was called. Danny Pulfer and Shawn Peterson led the Ducks with three hits apiece, and each drove in a run. KC Serna had a pair of doubles. Oregon returns to action Friday, beginning a three-game series against Stanford in Eugene.

• A’s starter Braden to undergo surgery: Oakland left-hander Dallas Braden needs shoulder surgery. Braden, who pitched a perfect game against Tampa Bay in May 2010, will have surgery Monday in New York to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder. Oakland made the announcement during its game Wednesday in Texas, and said the recovery time will be determined after the operation by Dr. David Altchek, medical director of the New York Mets.

• Former Mets clubhouse manager arrested in theft: The New York Mets’ longtime clubhouse manager amassed a secret hoard of baseballs, hats, bats and uniforms, including an autographed 1986 World Series warm-up jersey, that he intended to use to fund his retirement, prosecutors said Wednesday in announcing his arrest. Charlie Samuels, who was with the team 27 seasons, was arraigned on stolen property, fraud and other charges and was released on a $75,000 bond.

Samuels was fired in November amid claims that he placed bets on games and used Mets checks to cover his debts.

Basketball • Barea has no hard feelings toward Bynum for hit: Dallas guard J.J. Barea says he doesn’t hold any animosity toward Lakers center Andrew Bynum after their ugly collision. Bynum elbowed Barea in the chest while the guard was in the air for a layup in Game 4 of their playoff series. He hit the floor hard, Bynum was ejected and on Tuesday was suspended for the first five games of next season. Barea says he has a bruise on his ribs and another on his left hand. He said Wednesday that he received an apologetic message from Bynum that he considers sincere. The Mavericks swept the two-time defending champion Lakers.

• Ex-NBA, Michigan player Traylor dies at 34: Robert Traylor, the former NBA and University of Michigan big man nicknamed “Tractor” because of his hulking frame, has died. He was 34. Described as a “gentle giant” with a generous smile, Traylor played seven years in the NBA. He is perhaps most remembered, however, for his career at Michigan, where he was a standout for three seasons but became embroiled in a major scandal involving a booster. Police in San Juan said Traylor was found dead Wednesday on the bedroom floor of his oceanfront apartment.

Police and Traylor’s team, the Bayamon Cowboys, said he had been missing for a few days and apparently died from a heart attack.

Cycling • Weening wins fifth stage to take overall Giro lead: Pieter Weening raced solo the final six miles to win Wednesday’s fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia and take the race’s overall lead. The Rabobank rider covered the 118-mile stage from Piombino to Orvieto in 4 hours, 54 minutes, 49 seconds. He finished 8 seconds ahead of Fabio Duarte, who outsprinted Jose Perez in third. Weening took the pink jersey from David Millar after the Briton faded on the final climb to finish 2:50 behind.

• Leipheimer headlines Tour of California field: Three-time champion Levi Leipheimer will lead Team RadioShack in the sixth annual Tour of California. Leipheimer won the nearly 800-mile race from 2007-09. Race sponsor AEG announced the preliminary start list Wednesday. The eight-stage road race begins Sunday in

South Lake Tahoe, Calif., and ends May 22 in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Defending champion Michael Rogers of Australia won’t ride this year because of a virus that caused him to miss training time.

Americans David Zabriskie and Christian Vandevelde will lead Team Garmin-Cervelo. American George Hinicapie and 20year-old rising star Taylor Phinney will ride for BMC Racing Team. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg will lead Leopard Trek, one of 18 teams in the field.

Soccer • FIFA formally asks for English corruption evidence: Facing a deepening corruption scandal, FIFA demanded evidence Wednesday to back up English claims that six executive committee members were involved in bribery during the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contests. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, meanwhile, promised to resolve the crisis before he comes up for re-election on June 1. Following Tuesday’s allegations made during a British Parliamentary inquiry, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke wrote to England’s Football Association asking for a complete report plus “all documentary evidence” from David Triesman, the former leader of England’s 2018 bid.

Golf • Golfers, family gather for Ballesteros funeral: To the mournful wail of a lone bagpipe, some of Europe’s greatest golfers joined family, friends and local residents Wednesday in Pedrena, Spain, at the funeral of Seve Ballesteros, paying an emotional final tribute to the dynamic Spaniard who revived the European game. Ryder Cup captains Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Sam Torrance and Jose Maria Olazabal and players including Miguel Angel Jimenez marched together in silence as part of the procession from Ballesteros’ family home to the church of San Pedro de Pedrena.

About 400 people packed the church to provide Ballesteros with one final sendoff before his ashes were spread under a magnolia tree at the family home in this tiny fishing village in northern Spain.

Ballesteros, a five-time major winner and Ryder Cup stalwart, died Saturday at age 54 from complications of a cancerous brain tumor.

Tennis • Nadal has problems with qualifier at Italian Open: Rafael Nadal struggled past 148th-ranked qualifier Paolo Lorenzi 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-0 in his opening match at the Italian Open on Wednesday, looking far from the form that has helped him dominate on clay for six years. It marked the third consecutive match in which Nadal dropped the first set, having also rallied to beat Roger Federer in a Madrid Open semifinal and then losing in straight sets to Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final. Nadal has never lost consecutive matches on his favorite surface. Djokovic stretched his unbeaten start this year to 33 matches with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Polish qualifier Lukasz Kubot earlier.

Football • Auburn AD: Confident in Newton case: Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said he has no reservations about erecting a statue for quarterback Cam Newton while an NCAA investigation continues and expressed confidence that Auburn will ultimately be cleared of any wrongdoing. Jacobs points to comments from NCAA President Mark Emmert, who said “there was no evidence that money had changed hands and there was no evidence that Auburn University had anything to do with it.” The NCAA cleared the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 NFL draft pick to play for the Tigers in the Southeastern Conference and national championship games — when Auburn briefly declared him ineligible — after finding that Newton’s father, Cecil, had solicited money from Mississippi State during the recruiting process.

Portland, Seattle fans ready to enjoy rivalry

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The Cascadia Cup resides in an inauspicious house in northeast Portland, shined up for its Major League Soccer debut.

The silver trophy is the icon of the long-standing rivalry between the Portland Timbers, the Seattle Sounders and the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Unique because it was created by fans, the award takes on greater significance this season now that all three teams are part of MLS. The first match in the Pacific Northwest tri-valry is set for Saturday night, when the Timbers visit the Sounders.

That’s apropos, because the competition is particularly intense between fans in Portland and Seattle.

“I guess the only way to explain it is that for us it’s like the Yankees and the Red Sox in baseball, or like the Lakers and the Celtics in the ’80s,” said Timbers fan Fernando Machicado, keeper of the cup.

The original Cascadia Cup was introduced in 2004 when all three teams were part of the United Soccer Leagues First Division. Fans pooled their money to buy the 2-foot-tall trophy, which goes to the team that finishes with the best record in head-tohead matches between the trio, based on a points system.

The Timbers have claimed the trophy for the past two seasons in the

MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER competition with the Whitecaps, after the Sounders were pulled out of the mix by their jump to MLS. Now that Vancouver and Portland have joined the league this season, the cup again will be contested by the three teams.

That delights MLS. “Rivalries are a key factor in what makes the sport in Europe and Latin America so special,” Commissioner Don Garber said. “We think the rivalry of our Pacific Northwest clubs will change the landscape of soccer in the United States and Canada and serve as an important driver in growing the popularity our league.”

Just like the Stanley Cup in hockey, the Cascadia Cup has been passed around a great deal. The latest cup is actually new because the original was dropped — Portland fans swear it happened in Vancouver, but the details are murky — and could not be repaired.

Machicado, who appeared in a striking team billboard campaign that featured fans and various logging implements, currently has the new MLSready cup on a bookshelf at his home.

It will not be making the trip Saturday, when the Timbers Army — Portland’s independent supporters group — takes 10 buses on the three-hour drive up the

I-5 to Seattle.

The management of Portland, Seattle and Vancouver agreed to set aside 500 seats for visiting fans for the games this season. Among the stipulations is those fans will be seated in one secured area of the stadium in an attempt to keep any fan incidents from popping up.

The Timbers, who will debut their red road jerseys for the match, are 4-31 and coming off back-to-back league victories against Real Salt Lake and the Philadelphia Union. Seattle is 3-3-4.

The two teams are tied for fourth place in the Western Conference standings with 13 points each.

The rivalry between Portland and Seattle dates back to 1975, when both teams were part of the North American Soccer League.

Seattle supporters like to point out that the Sounders beat Portland 1-0 in the first game between the two teams that year, while Timbers fans talk up how Portland beat Seattle in the ’75 playoffs and advanced to the league championship.

“I think it’s just between the Emerald City Supporters and Timbers Army, we both just want to one-up each other, and we get the first crack at setting the precedent,” said Eric Berg of the Timbers Army.

After Saturday’s match, Seattle will visit Portland on July 10.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Rays 8, Indians 2: CLEVELAND — David Price shut down baseball’s hottest team without much trouble, carrying a shutout into the eighth and leading Tampa Bay to a win over Cleveland, stopping the Indians’ home winning streak at 14.

Price (5-3) was perfect for four innings, dominant for seven and became the first pitcher to record a win at Cleveland in more than a month.

• Blue Jays 9, Red Sox 3: TORONTO — John McDonald homered, Rajai Davis had four hits and Toronto beat Boston to sweep a two-game series. The Blue Jays pounded struggling Boston right-hander John Lackey (2-5), who lost his third straight start and matched a season-high by allowing nine runs.

• Orioles 4, Mariners 2: BALTIMORE — Chris Tillman pitched six innings of three-hit ball, Adam Jones went four for four with two RBIs and Baltimore beat Felix Hernandez and Seattle. Tillman (2-3) gave up one run in his first start against the Mariners.

• Tigers 9, Twins 7: MINNEAPOLIS — Brandon Inge hit an RBI triple off the center field wall in the ninth inning to lift Detroit to its fifth win in a row, over slumping Minnesota. Inge’s big hit off Twins closer Matt Capps (1-2) scored Ramon Santiago, and Austin Jackson followed with a squeeze bunt.

• Royals 4, Yankees 3: NEW YORK — Eric Hosmer hit his first career homer, then delivered the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 11th inning, sending Kansas City to a come-from-behind victory over the New York Yankees.

• White Sox 6, Angels 4: ANAHEIM, Calif — Alexei Ramirez scored the tiebreaking run from third base when Angels reliever Kevin Jepsen threw a wild pitch during an intentional walk in the 10th inning, and the Chicago White Sox rallied from a late three-run deficit for a victory over Los Angeles.

• Nationals 7, Braves 3: ATLANTA — Ian Desmond hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the 11th inning, Jayson Werth followed with a two-run homer and Washington beat Atlanta.

• Dodgers 2, Pirates 0: PITTSBURGH — Hiroki Kuroda allowed just three hits over seven innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged Pittsburgh.

Kuroda (4-3) struck out eight and walked three as the Dodgers won back-to-back games for the first time in three weeks.

• Phillies 5, Marlins 3: MIAMI — Jimmy Rollins delivered a two-out, two-run single in the ninth inning and Philadelphia rallied past Florida. The Phillies fell behind 3-0, but their bats came alive after Cliff Lee departed for a pinch hitter in the seventh.

• Astros 4, Reds 3: HOUSTON — Hunter Pence hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning and Houston avoided a series sweep with a win over Cincinnati. Mike Leake (3-2) walked J.R. Towles with one out in the ninth before Pence’s full-count hit landed in the corner of right field and sent Towles home.

• Padres 13, Brewers 6: MILWAUKEE — Cameron Maybin drove in the go-ahead runs and Ryan Ludwick homered in an eight-run eighth inning after San Diego had already squandered one big lead in a win over Milwaukee.

• Cubs 11, Cardinals 4: CHICAGO — Matt Garza got his first win at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs delivered their biggest offensive output of the season to beat St. Louis. Chicago scored six runs in the third after a 53-minute rain delay, added four more in the fifth and finished with 17 hits.

• Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3: SAN FRANCISCO — Andres Torres had the go-ahead RBI double, Aubrey Huff hit a tying home run and San Francisco rallied from three runs down to beat Arizona.

Note: Wednesday’s Oakland Athletics/Texas Rangers game was postponed because of rain. No make-up date has been announced.

NBA ROUNDUP

Heat rally to beat Celtics, headed to conference finals The Associated Press

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Bend baserunner Michael Hirko tries to break up a double play completed by Mountain View shortstop Jo Carroll Wednesday.

Bend Continued from D1 Jonah Koski, Lucas Degaetano and Kyle Lammers hit home runs against the Cougars, who had won 10 of their previous 11 games.

“The IMC’s a tough league,” Mountain View assistant coach Ryan Jordan said. “You have a couple of bad in-

nings and anyone can 10-run (rule) you.”

With Bend’s bats spraying hits all over the field, Hirko kept the Cougars in check for most of the game.

“Great game by Hirko,” Jordan said about the Lava Bear hurler who struck out five batters in the win. “That’s one of the better games I’ve seen pitched against us.”

Lammers, Bend’s leadoff hitter, opened the game with a bang, hitting a solo homer off

Mountain View starter Andrew Deadmond.

The Lava Bears never let up, and led 11-5 after six innings before scoring six runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away.

Drew Wickham, John Carroll and Alex Robinett all doubled to pace the Cougars.

Wednesday’s game concluded the regular season for Bend. Mountain View plays at Sisters on Monday in a nonleague tuneup before the postseason.

PREP ROUNDUP

Three Sisters boys qualify for state tennis Bulletin staff report MEDFORD — Sisters clinched a share of the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A Special District 3 boys tennis title Wednesday as the Outlaws tallied 22 points at the district tournament in Medford.

In the process, Sisters qualified three players for the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A state championships at the University of Oregon next week.

“Everyone won at least one match,” noted Sisters coach Garth Tosello on the individual contributions to the team win.

The Sisters duo of Colby Gilmore and Austin Williams won three matches before facing a North Bend squad in the semifinals. After a first-set setback, Gilmore and Williams won the match 1-6, 6-2, 6-1. The Outlaw team went on to the championship match, where they lost to a Cascade Christian team 6-3, 6-3. “(Gilmore and Williams) gave (Cascade Christian) a fantastic game,” Tosello said.

The Sisters doubles duo will play next week in Eugene, as the top four finishers in singles and doubles play qualify for state.

In singles play, Ben Fullhart won his first three matches before losing to Will Cochrane of Phoenix in the semifinal round. Fullhart, who also will advance to state, finished fourth in the singles bracket after falling to Kevin Payne of Hidden Valley in the thirdplace match.

North Bend finished as co-champion of the district with Sisters, as both teams scored 22 points.

MIAMI — Behind Boston much of the season. Behind Boston much of the game.

No more.

Not only has the Miami Heat caught the Celtics — they have officially gone past them, and into the Eastern Conference finals.

Vanquishing the team they couldn’t beat for so long with a 16-0 run to end the game, Dwyane Wade scored 34 points, LeBron James put the Heat up for good with a threepointer with 2:10 left on the way to a 33-point effort and Miami topped Boston 97-87 to win their East semifinal series Wednesday night in five games.

James added a game-sealing — more aptly, a seriessealing — three-pointer with 40.4 seconds left, then turned and posed for some fans who screamed in delight.

“They make you fight for everything,” James said. “You can never take the foot off the gas. You can never take a second off against that team.”

So he kept playing, all the way to the final second.

A steal and two-handed slam six seconds later for good measure, followed by a Celtics turnover, got the party started.

It was over, the Heat and Celtics knew it, and Boston coach Doc Rivers stood silently near the bench, his arms folded across his chest as James ran down the clock on Miami’s final offensive possession of the series.

Of course, he scored.

Boston was done, thoroughly worn down by a younger, more athletic opponent. The Celtics won the first three

meetings between the clubs this season, then lost five of the final six.

“It was a series that all of us wanted, really since training camp,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Wade was knocked over into some courtside seats trying to snare the final rebound, but that only prolonged the moment. James knelt in prayer for several seconds, then ran over to wrap Wade in a long embrace as the fans screamed loudly.

This is why he stayed in Miami, while James and Chris Bosh came to Miami — to chase a championship.

They’re halfway there. Next up for Miami: Either Chicago or Atlanta, in a series that may start as early as Sunday. Chicago leads the series 3-2.

“It’s a great team,” James said of Boston in the on-court celebration. “Like I said, I got the utmost respect for that team. They’re the reason why all three of us came together, is because of what they did, that blueprint they had in ’08 when they all came together. So it’s a great team win and get ready for our next opponent.”

Also on Wednesday: Thunder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 99 Grizzlies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 19 points, reserve Daequan Cook added 18 and Oklahoma City followed its triple-overtime triumph with a blowout of Memphis to take its first series lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Thunder lead 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Friday night in Memphis.

Jackson leaves Lakers for adventures outside NBA

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Phil Jackson imagines himself exploring the southern tropics next winter, or maybe circumnavigating the globe on a motorcycle.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ retiring coach doesn’t imagine returning to an NBA bench.

At least not right now.

Jackson informally wrapped up his tenure with the Lakers on Wednesday, three days after the two-time champions were swept out of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers have no plans to replace him imminently, but Jackson left only the slightest doubt he’s done with what’s likely the last chapter of his unmatched career.

The awful ending to the season did nothing to change the 11-time NBA champion coach’s mind about his future. Although he still loves basketball, Jackson wants to get on with the life he imagined as a boy growing up in North Dakota.

“I have no plans to return,” the 65-year-old Jackson said in an emotionless news conference at the Lakers’ training complex.

“Today, I’m sure. What it’s going to be like in six months, I’m not sure.”

Jackson’s equivocation could keep the rumor mills turning for several more years, but the

coach clearly relishes the prospect of his extended break from the NBA grind. He realizes that by the time he grows tired of the freedom, he could be too old to do this job — and he appears to be at peace with the prospect.

Jackson said there’s a point in a coach’s life at which “you either move on or stay in it, you never break away from it, and it becomes the rest of your life.

I always thought I’d like to do something beyond just the basketball coaching.”

As a boy in a religious prairie family, Jackson remembers being spellbound by “Robinson Crusoe,” Daniel Defoe’s 18thcentury novel about a castaway on a Caribbean island. He tried to explore those boyhood dreams during his first retirement from the Lakers, but six weeks in the South Pacific and a trip to the Australian Open reminded him it’s tough to be footloose and fancy-free with two bad hips and swollen feet.

Although his health and mobility have improved in the past seven years after surgery on his hips, Jackson still walks with a cane at times. He’s grateful to be rid of the NBA’s regimented travel schedule, and he’s hoping another surgery will make him mobile enough to pick up those Robinson Crusoe dreams again, wherever they might take him.

Early

GOLF: PGA TOUR

Continued from D1 “With a little patience and guidance, she picked up on it really quick,” Hodgson says. “She’s 22 now and still fishes quite a bit.”

Teaching youngsters early can last a lifetime, but purchasing tiny waders and an expensive fly rod makes no sense — at least not right away.

In fact, buying a kid’s pole at the local store and hooking on some PowerBait might be the easiest and smartest way to introduce a child to fishing.

“Don’t make too much of a major financial investment to begin with, and see if they really take to it,” Hodgson says. “If they really enjoy it, they can branch out more and fish in different areas, and get some more expensive gear.”

Central Oregon is home to four ponds that are designed specifically for youth and family fishing: Shevlin Pond and Pine Nursery Pond in Bend, Fireman’s Pond in Redmond and the Prineville Youth Pond. Another youthfishing pond is currently under construction in Madras.

Shevlin Pond in northwest Bend is the only one of these ponds that is not filled by irrigation water, according to Hodgson. The cool water of Tumalo Creek feeds Shevlin Pond, which was stocked with 700 rainbow trout late last month. The ODFW stocks the pond every few weeks, spring through fall. Some rainbows grow to 10 inches long in Shevlin Pond, which Hodgson claims is the most popular of the Central Oregon youth ponds.

“It’s real close to town, it’s in a nice area, and we have the ability to stock it on a regular basis with trout,” Hodgson says.

The ODFW stocks Bend Pine Nursery Pond, Fireman’s Pond and Prineville Pond in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cool. During the summer, according to Hodgson, the ODFW stocks a limited number of bass, bluegill and black crappie in the three ponds to provide opportunity during the warmer months, when trout-fishing opportunity subsides.

“We’re trying to get natural production of bluegill in the Bend Pine Nursery Pond, to produce more opportunity there,” Hodgson says.

The ODFW stocks the ponds with bass captured from Davis Lake, southwest of Bend, each spring.

Shevlin Pond and Prineville Youth Pond are the only two ponds restricted to juvenile anglers age 17 and younger.

The other ponds are considered “family” ponds, where adults can fish with kids.

The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division can issue citations to adults who are fishing at Shevlin and Prineville ponds without their kids nearby.

“What usually happens is we get complaints,” says Sgt. Dave Pond of the OSP Fish and Wildlife Division.

“We wrote a ticket at Shevlin Pond just the other day. Adults were fishing out there with no kids in sight.”

The fine was $120 for each offender, for angling in a restricted area.

Pond notes that adults can help kids

Nicknames Continued from D1 Those who did not have a nickname were frequently given one by their teammates or coaches.

(George Herman Ruth did not become Babe until he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles.)

Sports writers, looking for imagery or lyrical alliteration in the age before cable television, made a habit of bestowing nicknames on athletes too. Rams receiver Elroy Hirsch became Crazy Legs thanks to a Chicago newspaper reporter; decades later, a 15-yearold basketball player named Earvin Johnson was considered Magic by a reporter in Lansing, Mich.

“When we gave them a nickname, good or bad, it meant that we cared,” said Ernest Abel, a Wayne State professor of psychology and obstetrics who has studied names and is on the executive council of the American Name Society. “You don’t give someone about whom you are indifferent a nickname. The opposite of love is not hate; it’s indifference.”

Doc Rivers, coach of the NBA’s Boston Celtics, was simply Glenn as a boy in Chicago. But he was a big fan of Julius Erving, known as Dr. J, and wore an Erving shirt when he arrived to play at Marquette. Al McGuire, the former Marquette coach, was there and nonchalantly called him Doc. “I didn’t have a lot of say-so in it,” Rivers recalled recently.

When Rivers played for the Atlanta Hawks in the mid-1980s, his teammates included Tree Rollins, Spud Webb and Dominique Wilkins, the Human Highlight Reel. Now Rivers coaches a perennial championship contender with big-name stars but nearly devoid of memorable nicknames.

Shaquille O’Neal continually nicknames himself — generally a no-no — but he is more generally known as Shaq.

Aaron Williams helps his son Zakk, 4, land a trout while fishing together Wednesday at Bend’s Shevlin Pond.

“As long as the kid is there next to the pole and engaged in fishing, and not a hundred yards away while the parent is doing all the casting. They can help them reel a fish in, as long as the kid has a hand on the rod. Nobody wants to lose their rod into the water.”

— Sgt. Dave Pond of the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division, on the rules regarding adults fishing with their children at Shevlin Pond and Prineville Youth Pond cast their bait and reel in fish at these ponds.

“As long as the kid is there next to the pole and engaged in fishing, and not a hundred yards away while the parent is doing all the casting,” Pond says. “They can help them reel a fish in, as long as the kid has a hand on the rod. Nobody wants to lose their rod into the water.”

Children 13 and younger do not need a fishing license, while those ages 14 to 17 are required to have a juvenile license that costs $9. Adults do not need a license ($33) if they are helping a child fish, so long as they are not fishing themselves, according to Pond.

nicknamed from other people, and it stuck,” Rivers said. “And now it’s almost like guys or gymshoe companies try to give you a nickname. It’s not as natural.”

One exception is Glen Davis, the soft-muscled Celtics forward.

Everyone he knows — friends, coaches, his mother — has called him Big Baby since he was a big baby with a propensity for crying.

Now Davis is part of a dying legacy of great nicknames.

“That’s true,” he said. “Most people don’t even know my name.

They just know Big Baby. That’s a good thing.”

Sociologist James Skipper, author of “Baseball Nicknames: A Dictionary of Origins and Meanings,” found that the use of nicknames peaked before 1920. It has since been in steady decline, dropping quickly in the 1950s.

Using a baseball encyclopedia listing all major league players from 1871 to 1968, Skipper found that 28.1 percent of players had nicknames not derived from their given names. (Lefty, Red and Doc were most popular.) No doubt the percentage has since dipped precipitously.

“The era of the colorful nickname may be over,” Skipper concluded about 30 years ago.

Chris Berman, the ESPN announcer, saw the void in the 1980s. He became known for his creation and use of hundreds of colorful nicknames, based mostly on puns — Mike (Pepperoni) Piazza, Sammy (Say it Ain’t) Sosa and Bert (Be Home) Blyleven among them.

“I viewed it as reviving a lost art,” Berman said. “Why aren’t there nicknames now? Maybe everything is so literal. You can see everybody on the Internet, TV, YouTube, whatever it is. There’s very little left to the imagination.”

Basketball’s Harlem Globetrotters, more than any other team, keep the nickname tradition alive. Every player on the roster has one.

Several local youth angling events are scheduled for later this month and in June, including one set for Saturday, May 28, at Bend Pine Nursery Pond. The ODFW and the Bend Park & Recreation District will provide free fishing poles and volunteer coaches to help kids learn how to fish.

“That’s the best way to start out,” says Jen Luke, a fish biologist for ODFW who will help run the May 28 event. “Go to the stocked ponds so they actually can experience catching a fish.”

Mark Morical can be reached at 541383-0318 or at mmorical@bendbulletin. com.

“We want our fans to have an emotional attachment to our players, especially kids,” Kurt Schneider, the Globetrotters’ chief executive, wrote in an email. “It’s more fun and easier to connect with — and emulate — Special K, Dizzy and Ant, than it is Kevin, Derick or Anthony. A nickname grants ethereal status to a player and elevates him to a platform where kids can aspire to be like them; it is a form of escapism and fantasy to want to be like Thunder or Hammer, and they are global in nature.”

In other words, the Globetrotters try to engineer a connection that generally does not exist today. Athletes are both more famous and more disconnected from fans than ever, sociologists have noted.

“I think it represents a loss of intimacy and identification with the players,” said Ed Lawson, past president of the American Name Society. “I don’t know how you have the same level of affection when a guy makes $16 million a year.”

But nicknames rarely came from fans; they came from friends and family, teammates and reporters. None of those connections are as strong as they once were.

“With the communication age, everybody’s on the computer, the cellphones, there’s not a lot of communication,” said Frazier, who became Clyde four decades ago when his wide-brimmed

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Players Championship has all the ingredients of the fifth biggest tournament in golf.

It has the largest purse of any tournament at $9.5 million, with the winner getting nearly as much as Arnold Palmer earned in his PGA Tour career. From top to bottom, it has the strongest field of the year. The list of winners in 30 years at the TPC Sawgrass includes Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

But to all fans, and most players, mention the tournament and the first thing that comes to mind is an island.

The Players Championship begins today, and there will be a steady stream of traffic through the gates and toward the 17th hole, with an island green that makes it one of the most infamous holes in the world.

By the weekend, it turns into Jacksonville’s biggest sideshow this side of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party when Florida and Georgia play football.

“I think our pension is funded by beers sold on 17,” Paul Goydos said.

The signature hole on the TPC Sawgrass measures only 137 yards on the scorecard and is surrounded by water, an idea that Alice Dye drew up on the back of a cocktail napkin.

“It’s do or die, and I think spectators love that,” Luke Donald said. “Most of the other holes are pretty regular holes that you see week in and week out, but 17 is unique.”

The PGA Tour will offer live streaming on its website at the 17th, and asked several players their strategy on the hole. Lucas Glover spoke for most when he said, “Hit it where I can hit it again.”

The island green is so much a part of the tournament that NBC Sports is devoting 11 cameras to the hole, including two periscope cams out of the water that can turn 360 degrees.

The 17th green rarely decides who wins, but rather who loses.

The PGA Tour decided to make the 17th the sudden-death playoff hole in 2008.

Sergio Garcia hit the green; Goydos did not. Sean O’Hair was two shots behind Phil Mickelson in 2007 when his 9-iron carried just enough over the green — all it takes is an inch — and went into the water. He went from second place to 11th place, a difference of $747,000.

Woods holed a 60-footer that broke to the right, to the left and back to the right in the third round when he won The Play-

hats reminded New York Knicks teammates of the “Bonnie and Clyde” movie.

“When we traveled, there were only three channels, and all during the day there was nothing but soaps on,” Frazier added. “So the guys spent a lot of time together, playing cards, talking, hanging around in the same places, traveling together on the bus or whatever it might be. There was a lot of camaraderie among the players.”

George Gmelch, a professor of anthropology at the University of San Francisco and former minor league baseball player, said the influx of international athletes could be a factor in the decline of nicknames. U.S. players are less likely to give nicknames to Hispanic or Japanese players, he said.

He and others also suggested that nicknames are less useful, given the trend toward less-common names. After all, NBA player Joe Bryant was better known as Jellybean. His more famous son is simply Kobe.

According to the Social Security Administration, the 10 most popular baby names for boys in 1956 represented 31.1 percent of the total born. In 1986, around the time many of today’s athletes were born, the top 10 represented only 21.3 percent of the total.

“Nicknames are less needed today because given names themselves are so much more varied than they used to be,” said Ev-

ers Championship, still one of the most famous moments. Fred Couples has twice knocked it in from the tee box — once for an ace, once for a par after his first shot went into the water.

“I think 17, any other day, wouldn’t be too difficult because of the short iron,” Masters champion Charl Schwartzel said.

“But there’s such a big hype about it, and you get so many people sitting around it that I think that starts becoming the big, big factor around there.”

Too big?

The hype is so strong about the 17th that the rest of the course often gets ignored. And while the PGA Tour touts so much about its championship event, it is largely defined by a single hole.

For most of the fans, the splash is as entertaining as any good shot.

“It’s an infamous type of vibe about the hole, which is good because it raises the tournament profile,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “But it’s probably bad because it’s a little bit of a lottery for the second-to-last hole of maybe the fifth most important tournament.

“Sergio hit one of the most quality iron shots anyone has seen to win a playoff.

Sean O’Hair hit a shot only 4 yards further in the air and went from second place to 11th. For 70 holes, he was the secondbest player and he finishes 11th. Is that right?” he added. “They’re lucky someone hasn’t been winning and did that.”

Goydos said the hole is short enough that it can get away with being a bit different.

“It would be in an awkward spot if it were a 3-iron,” he said. “We’re asking guys to be the players’ champion, and were asking him to hit a short iron into a green.”

The island green again will be a big part of the story when The Players Championship gets under way, along with several subplots.

Woods, who has only one finish in the top 10 since his win 10 years ago, returns with as many questions about his health as the longest winning drought in his career, now going on 18 months.

He missed last week because of minor injuries to his left knee and Achilles.

After playing another nine-hole practice round Wednesday, he reported only “minimal” swelling.

The Players Championship offers the most world ranking points outside the majors, even without the No. 1 player in the world. Lee Westwood decided not to compete this year, at first over a dispute with the PGA Tour’s membership policies, later saying it didn’t fit into his schedule.

Also skipping is Rory McIlroy, who said he wasn’t comfortable on the course.

Westwood could lose the ever-changing No. 1 ranking to Martin Kaymer, Donald or Mickelson if they were to win.

Kaymer also could return to No. 1 if he is the runner-up.

ans, the Bellevue psychology professor.

He also posited that nicknames are often “humorous or noncomplimentary, and we may live in a culture where people are less willing to accept names that are less complimentary.”

It is telling that few of today’s biggest stars have widely used nicknames. LeBron James is an exception, but he is better known as LeBron than as King, the lofty nickname used for commercial purposes. Michael Jordan never really had a nickname, lest those who wanted to “be like Mike” be distracted from buying Air Jordans.

“Their own names now act as brand names,” said Frank Neus-

sel, editor of Names: A Journal of Onomastics, and a University of Louisville professor of modern language and linguistics. “Your identity is not your nickname. It’s your stats.”

FISHING

“D

rop them to the bottom and reel back up two cranks.” It was dark when we stepped into the boat and just light enough to see when we motored beneath the Wind River Bridge, into its mouth at the Columbia.

Steve Leonard had one hand on the tiller. He pointed out to the river channel. “There’s a big trough there, cut deep to allow barge traffic to turn. The fish stack up inside it.”

I glanced at the depth finder.

Fifteen feet. When it changed to 17, I dropped the weight to the bottom and reeled back up two cranks.

Behind me, my brother-inlaw, Shannon Winters, from Woodland, Wash., did the same thing. He said he was happy to be above the dam because the last time he fished the Lower Columbia, he had a sea lion take a salmon from him right at the boat. A friend of his, he said, had a sea lion rip a salmon off the stringer.

Leonard said he had heard that two sea lions had found their way up through the locks into the upper river.

When the depth changed again, I reached for my rod and saw a pulse in the tip. With the rod pointed into the dark, windchopped water, I let three more feet of line pull out of the reel, then I set the hook.

Down below, the fish shook its head and surged into deeper water, burning line off the level wind. After the third run, she allowed me to gain line and soon she was at the surface, a flash of iridescent olive and chrome.

Leonard stabbed for it with the net and we had our first fish.

Our guide, Leonard, of Steve’s Guided Adventures in Washougal, Wash., had planned for us to fish Drano Lake, at the mouth of the Little White Salmon, but the word was that Drano was packed with fishermen and the bite had slowed there.

Upriver from Stevenson, Wash., the mouth of the Wind River was the next choice. We stayed the night at the Bridge of the Gods Motel at Cascade Locks, then paid our $1 toll to

Fishing with Steve Leonard, of Steve’s Guided Adventures, earlier this week, Sam Pyke, of Sisters, boated this nice spring chinook. cross the river.

We slipped around a point of land out into the current. There must have been 50 boats around us: fiberglass drifters with trolling motors, jet sleds and car toppers, even a kayak. Some pulled Wiggle Warts; some ran bait; some bounced spinners off the bottom.

Leonard scanned the mass of anglers hoping to see a bent rod to give a clue as to where fish might be concentrated. Below us, in 17 feet of water, a bronzebacked chinook grabbed a slowrolled herring and Shannon’s Lamiglas was almost yanked out of the holder. Shannon lurched to the rail and set the hook. By 6:15 a.m. we had our second in the boat.

Downstream we motored into a 10 mph wind that piled up the waves. A rocky shoulder of land protected a bend in the river.

“Here, the wind pushes the salmon upriver and they get out of it in this corner,” Leonard said.

“It can be a good spot.”

When next a fish took the bait, Sam grabbed the rod. That fish threw the hook and a few minutes later we were back in the trough, running our baits two cranks

off the bottom. We finished with four fin-clipped springers to the boat and two others lost by 10:30 in the morning.

Headed back to the bridge, Shannon spotted a sea lion.

Maybe it had stowed away on a barge and made it above the locks. Here was the proof. Moments later, we saw the second with a big chinook in its mouth.

A wreath of seagulls whirled above it.

Gathered below Bonneville Dam, the fin-footed mammals have wreaked havoc for years on sensitive stocks of wild and hatchery salmon and steelhead as well as sturgeon. Here were two, now in the pool above Bonneville.

While the sea lions are protected by a Federal Appeals Court judge in San Francisco and under the umbrella protection of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, they are decimating our fisheries. Between Jan. 7 and Feb. 23, the sea lions were observed killing 1,136 white sturgeon. How many more sturgeon and salmon have they killed since? It used to be that the sea lions migrated. Now an estimated 1,000 California and

Stellers have taken up residence between Astoria and Bonneville. They have learned to stay year-round.

The federal government is going to consider delisting the Steller sea lions, but the process is sure to be lengthy, and a lot more fish will be lost. There used to be a balance on the river, but the sea lion impact has tipped it far in favor of the amphibious predator. If someone would teach the pinniped to target the pikeminnow, we’d be making progress.

When he filleted our fish, Leonard pointed out that one of our salmon had been swiped by a sea lion. Just ahead of the tail, it had the scars to prove it. One of the lucky ones.

Until he ran into us.

By Gary Lewis All summer long you can count on caddis. The trout eat them all day, every day. The larva and the emerger phases of caddis feed a lot of fish, but the dry is the most exciting way to catch them.

The adults range in color from black to tan and olive to orange. Here’s a new pattern to try when the water is fast and you need a fly that won’t turn over in the riffle.

Dave Sloan, a guide from California, developed the Outrigger Caddis to tempt trout in swift currents. Tied with stiff, horizontal fibers, it borrows the design of an outrigger canoe to land upright, float well and stay visible in fast water.

Tie the Outrigger Caddis with olive thread on a No. 14 dry-fly hook.

ADVENTURES IN THE CENTRAL OREGON OUTDOORS

Nature’s skyscraper Eye-catching scenery in the Ochoco National Forest

The Bulletin The Bulletin

“Wow.” “Wow.” “Whoa.”

“Wow.” “Amazing.”

Those were the not-so-varied reactions my family and I had when we reached the base of Steins Pillar, our destination on Mother’s Day. Extrapolating from our responses, it’s probably safe to assume others will react in much the same way to the 350-foot high, 120-foot in diameter outcropping located about 15 miles northeast of Prineville and only an hour’s drive from Bend.

Weatherwise, the day began promisingly mild and sunny, but as I loaded the van with snacks, fruit and water bottles, clouds moved in, the wind picked up and snow pellets began plunking off my back, seemingly in mockery of my choice to wear cargo shorts. The thermometer lowered from 46 to 43 in a span of about two (broken) heartbeats — a sure sign of spring in Central Oregon.

Nevertheless, we were soon under way, feeling only slightly deterred. We headed east from Bend on U.S. Highway 20, then north on Powell Butte Highway. The road always affords great views of the Cascades and Powell Buttes. Of the latter, some sections were shrouded in low clouds, others lit by sunbeams. Overall, the weather was strikingly different depending which way you looked, and we held on to hope that we might see sunshine once we reached Prineville and the trail beyond.

After rolling through town, we continued east on U.S. Highway 26 about 8 miles to Mill Creek Road. Steins Pillar is well-signed, but instead of taking the right turn off of Mill Creek up the gravel road to the trail, we proceeded a mile or so farther up the road to the scenic viewpoint.

TRAIL UPDATE

By David Jasper

Mill Creek Rd.

A winter filled with high winds and late-season snow will likely delay the arrival of summer trail conditions by a few weeks in the Deschutes National Forest.

Heavy snowpack and a layer of ice from January rain mean the plowing of Cascades Lakes Highway is slower going than usual, said Chris Sabo, a U.S. Forest Service trails specialist. There appears to be a significant volume of blown-down trees over trails, particularly in burn areas. There are still opportunities for winter recreation at high elevations.

“We’re two to three weeks behind,” Sabo said Wednesday.

“We’ve been at below-normal temperatures for the last month, month and a half.”

That said, with rain possible through the weekend and higher temperatures, conditions could still change rapidly.

Sabo said Dutchman Flat Snopark, for instance, should get rain and temperatures in the 40s today and Friday.

E2 Thursday, May 12, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Wife, daughter fight dad over beau’s stay Dear Abby: Our daughter, “Julie,” came home for the weekend so we could meet her new boyfriend, “Scott.” He’s a delightful young man, and my daughter is clearly smitten.

When I suggested Scott sleep in the guest room, Julie and my wife gave me this perplexed look as though I’m from a different planet. In the end, I was deeply disappointed that they shared a bedroom. In 30 years of marriage, this was the first disagreement between my wife and me in a long time. I’m no prude. My wife and I had our share of premarital mambo, but we always slept in separate rooms while visiting our families before we were married. It was about respect for our parents’ feelings.

Julie spends a lot of time with Scott’s family where they share a room. My wife is afraid if we don’t provide common accommodations in our home, our daughter will be less inclined to visit.

I welcome your thoughts, Abby.

Is expecting some sense of propriety being a curmudgeonly father?

— Stumped and Trumped in Ohio Dear Stumped and Trumped: You didn’t mention how long Julie and Scott have been involved or whether they’re living together — which might have had some bearing on this. However, I keep coming back to the fact that under your roof, guests should abide by your rules. If you prefer that unmarried couples sleep apart in your home, then your feelings should have been respected. And for your wife to wimp out for the reason you stated is just sad.

Dear Abby: I work for a company that processes orders from a store at a local mall. I handle these orders and have run into an embarrassing problem. Our customers come from every imaginable ethnic background. When I take a look at some of the names on the work orders, I can’t even begin to pronounce them.

DEAR ABBY It’s my job to call these customers back to verify details and schedule installations, so what should I do? Is it more polite to try to sound out the name and wait to be corrected, or to apologize right off the bat and ask the proper pronunciation?

— Tongue-tied in St. Paul, Minn.

Dear Tongue-tied: To lead off the conversation by stating that you don’t know how to pronounce someone’s name could be extremely off-putting. It would be better to sound it out, syllable by syllable, and try to pronounce it — adding, “If I have mispronounced your name, please correct me.” (It probably won’t be the first time the person has heard it.)

Dear Abby: I have several old Bibles that are literally falling apart. What’s the proper way of disposing of Bibles?

It seems wrong to just throw them in the trash or burn them.

— Robert in Columbus, Ohio Dear Robert: The answer to your question depends upon the religion to which you belong. According to my experts, Protestants can dispose of an old Bible by giving it to someone or by throwing it away if they’re comfortable doing that — the paper and ink are not “holy.” Old Bibles can also be given to a Bible bookstore or Bible book society for refurbishing or disposal.

Catholics can either burn or bury old Bibles.

Jewish people should call a temple or Jewish cemetery and ask if it has a “genizah” — a special place to bury books with the name of God in them.

It’s not all fun for the next Miley On a path to be the next ‘tween queen,’ China Anne McClain vows straight, narrow

Actress and singer China Anne McClain is set to star in the new Disney Channel comedy “A.N.T. Farm,” which is set to premiere in June.

By Brooks Barnes New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — China Anne McClain, 12, was taping a scene for her new Disney Channel comedy here recently when fiction and fact collided. As the cameras rolled, her character — heading off to start big, bad high school — got some parental advice.

“Just be prepared, sweetie,” her television mom warned.

“There’s going to be a lot of temptations here.”

The same counsel applies to McClain in real life, as she prepares to make a full-tilt, Disney-backed charge for the title of Next Tween Queen.

Pretty and talented yet nonthreatening, McClain, as an actress and singer, clearly has the potential to commandeer prepubescent culture. “A.N.T. Farm,” the series Disney tailor-made for her, will have a preview on May 22; the premiere is in June. She also has a record deal.

The Big 3 move on Children’s television is at a transitional moment when it comes to female stars. At Disney, the Big Three — Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato — have all moved on. Miranda Cosgrove, the star of “iCarly” on Nickelodeon, turns 18 this month. Both companies are feverishly trying to mint new headliners capable of drawing the attention of tweens, roughly defined as viewers 9 to 14.

But the manufacture of child stars is not as easy as

Richard Perry The New York Times

it used to be. There was a time when all it took was a perky personality, a little talent and a slot on the Mickey Mouse Club. Now child stars have to anchor TV series and movie spinoffs, churn out hit songs, write books and headline global concert tours — when they’re not introducing a signature line of clothing at Walmart.

Competition heats up There is also more competition, and not just between Nickelodeon and Disney. Add “Glee,” ABC Family, MTV, CW and almost every record label into the mix — and Justin Bieber ascended via YouTube.

There are also more opportunities for teenage stars to screw up in a world where Twitter and Facebook stand ready to document every roll of their eyes. It remains to be seen whether McClain will be able to absorb fame without becoming yet another teenage train wreck.

Disney and Nickelodeon executives worry about pushback from parents who are fed up with a situation that has become all too common for tween stars: actresses sold as role models who quickly become the opposite. At

what point do skeptical parents stop allowing their children to tune in?

Jamie Lynn Spears of Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101” became pregnant at 16. Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical”) had a nude photo scandal. Cyrus abruptly adopted a sex kitten persona, a transformation inexplicably backed by the Disneyowned Hollywood Records. Lovato, famous for “Camp Rock” and “Sonny With a Chance,” has recently been in rehab.

“These channels are starting to lose my trust in this department,” said Tara Shannon, a Denver mother of a boy, 8, and a girl, 11. “We’ve taken the bait time and again, and time and again it has left us as parents with a mess to clean up.”

Michael McClain doesn’t blame parents who feel that way.

He’s one of them. He promises that his daughter, who goes by China Anne, will follow more in the footsteps of Gomez, who as the star of “Wizards of Waverly

Place” has successfully navigated fame.

“Our family is extremely close-knit, and the minute her mother and I or her older sisters sense the slightest whiff of diva behavior, we will jump all over it,” McClain said.

He added that he and his wife, Shontell, have sought advice from Gomez’s parents. “Selena is my role model,” said China Anne McClain, sitting primly on a sofa in her dressing room. “I’m never going to disrespect myself — never.”

That’s easy for her to say now.

Fame, not to mention puberty, has only begun to hit her, and she only recently relocated with her family to Los Angeles from suburban Atlanta.

Even so, Gary Marsh, the president of entertainment for Disney Channel, said that his gut told him that McClain would be different.

“She is probably the most talented comedian we have encountered in 10 years, but there is something that she was born with that allows her to be very humble,” Marsh said. “Her parents are also warm and loving and caring and involved. You would be shocked to know how often the opposite is true.”

Hugh Grant could take Charlie Sheen’s TV role LOS ANGELES — Hugh Grant has been weighing a big move: replacing the fired Charlie Sheen on CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.” A person familiar with the situation said Wednesday the British film actor was in negotiations to join the sitcom as its new leading man. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because producer Warner Bros. and CBS hadn’t authorized public comment, said the talks had stalled without resolution.

But it was unclear whether Grant’s hiring was a closed issue, the person said. Reports that Grant had been offered $1 million-plus an episode were inaccurate, the person said, adding any Sheen replacement would be paid less than that.

Sheen was among TV’s highest-paid actors at a reported $1.8 million an episode.

‘House’ gets 8th season LOS ANGELES — Dr. Gregory House will continue to see patients next fall.

Fox has struck a one-year deal with Universal Media Studios to bring the quirky medical drama that stars Hugh Laurie back for an eighth season, the network says.

Ratings for “House” have fallen this season. Through last week, “House” is averaging 10.3 million viewers. Last season, its average audience was 12.6 million. Its ratings among adults 18-49 is also off 20 per-

Trails Continued from E1 “Our winter conditions are going to be receding rapidly,” he said.

Swampy Lakes Sno-park now only offers poor skiing, although snowshoeing is possible. Sabo heard at the start of the week that 2 feet of snow remained there, meaning that by now the tally is less.

The snow play area at Wanoga Sno-park is also done for the season. At neighboring Frank Ellis Sno-park, snowmobilers can still use Trail 4 to access the high country in conditions Sabo called “marginal but doable.”

Trail 5 will be closed due to a logging operation.

Plowing is well under way into the Newberry Crater area, making snowmobiling from Ten Mile Sno-park over for the season as well.

Snow remains in the Crescent area, but Sabo doesn’t recommend snowmobiling there at this point.

Those seeking backcountry snow should also be aware of avalanche danger, Sabo said.

Rain and snow early in the winter coupled with higher temperatures are making some slopes tricky.

“We have some layers haunting us with instability,” he said.

“It’s going to be with us into the spring.”

At lower elevations, the Phil’s Trail system is in fine shape. It’s even getting a bit dusty, Sabo said, although the coming rain should knock the dust down.

The Deschutes River Trail has

cent, according to Nielsen.

Still, “House” is a key part of Fox’s schedule, and since none of its new dramas this season really took off, keeping the show around for at least one more year was important.

“House” is also one of Fox’s most expensive shows, and one of the delays in getting a new deal done was the network’s desire to lower the license fee it pays for the show. Fox is said to have been able to get the cost per episode down to the neighborhood of $5 million.

Fox renews ‘Fringe,’ but many others get axed LOS ANGELES — The networks don’t officially announce their schedules until next week, but word has leaked out about the first round of cancellations and pickups over at Fox. Among the current shows that were “on the bubble” (that is, in jeopardy), Fox is reportedly renewing another season of “Fringe.” But all its other endangered shows are headed for the rubbish heap in a massive housecleaning: the dramas “Chicago Code,” “Human Target” and “Lie to Me,” plus the comedies “Breaking In” and “Traffic Light.”

Meanwhile, the network has made series orders for “The New Girl,” with Zooey Deschanel as a lovelorn teacher, and “I Hate My Teenage Daughter,” with Jaime Pressly. Also, the time-travel drama “Alcatraz” looks headed for the schedule, as does the “Bones” spin-off “Finder.”

— From wire reports

also entered spring conditions.

The Forest Service anticipated closing a section of the trail Friday for maintenance, but Sabo said enough work took place last week that the agency intends to leave it open.

The gate remains closed at Tumalo Falls but may open in a few weeks, Sabo said. Hikers and bikers can still get around it but might encounter patches of snow.

Near Sisters, Peterson Ridge is a snow-free option. Mud around the Metolius River is setting up, and crews are working on removing downed trees there this week. But Black Butte remains snowed in.

The trail between the Blue Bay and South Shore campgrounds at Suttle Lake will be closed next week Monday through Thursday for trail work.

Sabo said recreationists should know that the forests, particularly near Sisters, right now have a large number of blown-down trees for both trails and some dirt roads. Some of the trees were already dead but not all.

“There’s been a lot of green trees down as well, indicating that these winds were exceptionally strong,” he said.

Volunteers are surveying trails so the Forest Service will soon know more about their conditions. Crews will start clearing trees, but Sabo said recreationists might continue to encounter trees blocking some trails into June.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 12, 2011: This year, many opportunities head your way. You have an unusual amount of energy and drive. When an obstacle appears, you are likely to stomp right over the issue. You will prevail more often than not.

You have incredible strength and vision. If you are single, you could meet someone special in the latter part of your birthday year. If you are attached, review your long-term goals as a couple. Then decide which one to manifest. VIRGO tosses in another perspective.

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 Accept a situation and work with it. Your intuition comes into play more heavily than you thought possible. Focus on one item at a time. This is not a time for multitasking. Tonight: Do for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity emerges.

You seem to find the best path for you. Unusual drive and energy mark your activities. You know what you want, and you seem to be in a position to receive just that.

Tonight: Out and about; make it fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might want to work from home. Perhaps some of you might consider making the atmosphere at your workplace more homey.

Others might be weighing the pros and cons of an investment. Check in on a family member who has not heard from you for a while. Tonight:

Get much-needed R and R. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are likely to tell it like it is. You might not be sure of another person’s response, but you do know what you want to communicate.

Someone might push you hard.

Detach rather than react. Consider options with greater care. It is your life. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your willingness to take a risk draws attention to a project.

You might need more time to integrate a different factor. Be more aware of your community image. Tonight: Gather your bills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You feel empowered.

Look around and decide what you would like to do. Whatever you choose will have a longdistance element or perhaps the need to learn more. With ease and directness, you pull an idea together. Tonight: You are top dog.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH Continue to maintain a low profile. You might have difficulty convincing another person of the “rightness” of your ways. A partner reads you cold. You also know how to read his or her cues, and in this situation, it might be wise to do just that. Tonight: Vanish, but not necessarily alone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Success heads in your direction, especially if you deal with groups and express your present goal in a meeting. You might even be surprised by how a partner reacts. In fact, he or she might be more upset if you

don’t follow through. Tonight: Hook up with a friend or two.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Pressure builds within the workplace and/or your community.

You might want to handle a situation one way, but someone who clearly is a supervisor or of higher rank has very strong ideas. As dynamic as yours might be, know when to back off. Tonight: A must appearance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your wisdom and your groundedness mix to make you a sure-bet winner. While others might be floundering trying to make a choice, you see the whole picture and know which way to go. Relax with the moment and understand your options. Tonight: Relax to some great music.

Call a friend at a distance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Rethink a question and get to the bottom of a problem with an associate or loved one. Once more, you prove the old adage that two heads are better than one. Stay cool; detach. Don’t let a domestic or personal situation trigger you.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others knock on your door with fabulous ideas. Loosen up when dealing with a partner.

Sometimes you might be a lot harder on this person or angrier than you realize. Try to detach and see the situation from his or her point of view. Tonight: Isn’t it time for a long talk?

1950 SW Badger Ave. • Redmond, OR • 541-526-0757 Next to Deschutes County Fair Grounds Photos by David Jasper / The Bulletin

Visitors have plenty to gawk at when they visit the base of Steins Pillar, a 2-mile hike from the trailhead.

Outing Continued from E1 After taking in the pillar, which towers above Ochoco National Forest, we backtracked to Forest Road 3300-500 and drove the couple of miles uphill to the trailhead. I’m not going to lie: There were a couple of moments when I thought that maybe, just maybe, our front-wheel-drive minivan was not going to cut it on a steep, unpaved road, but once again the mulelike vehicle courageously pulled through.

There was just one other vehicle parked by the trailhead, and the satisfied hikers and their dog were returning just as we set off.

Which meant, aside from any wildlife, we pretty much had the hike all to ourselves.

That was a good thing, because the kids were going through some kind of strange giddiness, as though the air at that altitude (4,200 to 4,400 feet) were made up of laughing gas.

“Save your energy,” my wife and I kept telling them as they scrambled this way and that, climbing on and jumping off of rocks along the trail. “It’s a 2mile hike.”

It’s actually 4 miles out and back, but there was no way I was going to tell them that. Just as on the drive from Bend, the weather changed constantly, the sun threatening to show itself here, mocking snow pellets hitting my legs there.

Like a slow-moving roller coaster, the trail ascends for about half the trek, levels off for a stretch, then heads back downhill; that is, if you go all the way to the pillar, named after Maj. Enoch Steen (presumably by someone who did not do well in spelling bees). Steen passed by in 1860 while leading a U.S. Army expedition looking for a military wagon path to Eastern Oregon to help battle Snake Indians in Harney Basin, according to “Central Oregon Place Names: Vol. I Crook County,” by Steve Lent.

Lent writes that the oldest rocks in the pillar are from lava, ash and mudflows that date back about 50 million years to the Clarno Formation. This was followed by “a period of gentle folding and uplift,” the mountains smoothed into rolling hills by erosion and weathering.

Steins Pillar looms in the mist beyond a rocky outcropping.

Round trip, the trek takes about three hours.

“The more resistant volcanic plugs, dikes, and thicker lava flows were etched into relief as erosion wore away the easily removable mud flows, tuffs, and shales.” Steins Pillar is one such geologic feature that resisted the forces of weathering.

For much of the hike, the trail is lined with pines, including the largest downed ponderosa log this hiker’s ever seen (hello, photo opportunity), numerous firs and just-starting-to-blossom wildflowers.

What you don’t see for much of the hike is Steins Pillar, often obscured by trees, hillside or both, but soon enough you get it in your sight, the views becoming increasingly impressive. A scenic overlook offers a fairly clear view, but even then there are a few tree limbs obscuring the rock, which looks something like a raised fist.

Continue onward, taking care when descending the sets of primitive wooden steps, and soon enough, you’ll be offering up your own version of “wow.”

If you go Getting there: From Prineville, travel east 9 miles on U.S. Highway 26 to Mill Creek Road (Forest Road 33). Travel northeast for 6.5 miles. Turn on Forest Road 3300-500 and continue to signed trailhead.

Difficulty: Moderate Cost: Free; no trail fees Contact: 541-416-6500

According to the Steins Pillar page on the Deschutes and Ochoco national forests’ website (www.fs.fed.us), the last 1.4 miles of the trail is not well-maintained. Our hike didn’t suggest otherwise. While some larger logs have been moved or cut to clear the path, visitors should be prepared to climb over or around a few fallen trees during the roughly three-hour hike.

NUTRITION

Chew on this for a while

Eating your food too fast can lead to acid reflux and other maladies 1. MOUTH

Saliva lubricates the food and contains amylase, a starchbreaking enzyme. This is the first step of digestion. Chewed food, called a bolus, is swallowed.

2. ESOPHAGUS

2a. LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER

Muscles, in a process called peristalsis, push the bolus down through the digestive system.

A flap or valve that manages the flow of the bolus into the stomach. If this flap is not tightly closed, acids from the stomach can flow back up into the esophagus. The esophagus doesn’t have the same protective lining as the stomach, so that backflow of acids can create heartburn, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease.

3. STOMACH Enzymes such as pepsin break down food and proteins.

The stomach also produces hydrochloric acid to kill harmful bacteria and break down food. Muscular action in the stomach further churns and breaks down food. If food is not properly chewed, or the volume of food is too great for the stomach due to rapid eating, it creates pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, pushing it open and releasing acid back up into the esophagus (acid reflux).

The pyloric sphincter at the bottom of the stomach allows the semi-fluid substance to continue on its journey into the small intestine. Food that is not chewed properly will take longer to process in the stomach and may contribute to a feeling of bloating or discomfort, or may move on into the small intestines in a form that is not most efficiently managed by digestive enzymes, causing similar unpleasant symptoms.

6. SMALL INTESTINE In the approximately 1-inch-diameter coiling folds of the small intestine, food is mixed with bile from the liver and juices from the pancreas. Nutrients are absorbed here. If food makes it this far in a less-than-ideally digested form, it can impact the balance between the good/helpful bacteria and the less desirable/harmful bacteria, which can result in indigestion and gas.

4. LIVER Bile from the liver helps digest fats, and the liver processes chemicals and toxins.

7. LARGE INTESTINE Excess water and solid wastes from undigested foods pass from the small intestine to the large intestine, where they are processed.

From here, fecal matter is stored in the rectum until it’s ready to pass out of the system.

5. PANCREAS Important digestive enzymes are made by the pancreas.

8. ANUS

S

heree Gillaspie chews her food.

And chews.

She has a rule: Lunch should take a halfhour to eat.

On a recent day at Angeline’s Bakery & Cafe in Sisters, it took even longer than that to finish a big kale-almond salad. (She was, in all fairness, also talking.)

Gillaspie, 55, said she suffered from extreme stomach pain for 10 years no matter what she ate.

She was on about 10 pills, most of which were acid blockers. Doctors couldn’t diagnose any problem other than acid reflux.

A couple of years ago, while taking digestion classes through an online master’s in nutrition program, the self-described Type A, high-stress person said she learned that she needed to slow down and chew her food to liquid before swallowing.

Eating too fast and improperly chewing food shortchanges an important step in the digestion process and contributes to the common malady of acid reflux.

So let’s be honest: Who hasn’t inhaled breakfast in the car on the way to work, mindlessly munched lunch in front of the computer or virtually ignored their dinner going down while watching TV? See Chew / F5

House calls may make a comeback

Good for you

Health care reform boosts prospects for at-home doctor visits in Medicare

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

Over the course of just one lifetime, house calls by physicians have gone from being the norm to an aberration.

It was as recently as the 1930s that 40 percent of patient encounters were house calls. By M E D 1980, they accounted for less than 1 percent of all doctor visits.

But a Medicare demonstration project included in last year’s health reform law could signal the return of the house call and the doctor’s little black bag. The measure, known as Independence at Home (IAH), would target up to 10,000 high-cost Medicare beneficiaries in higher-cost states. Doctors and other providers who volunteer to participate would be paid standard

I

rates, but would receive 80 percent of any savings they achieve greater than 5 percent.

Organizations participating in the demonstration project would have to enroll at least 200 patients — not necessarily all seen by the C I N E same doctor — and demonstrate good outcomes and high patient satisfaction to get the bonus payments.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services must issue regulations describing how all of that would work and start the program no later than Jan. 1, 2012. But many advocates, including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) who introduced the legislation along with Rep. Ed Markley (D-Mass.), are pushing for an earlier start.

M Financial swings ease at St. Charles hospitals But rise in Medicare, Medicaid patients has system worried

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

St. Charles Health System stabilized in 2010 after wild swings in financial performance over the past few years.

The region’s largest health care system, which operates three hospitals in Bend, Redmond and Prineville, made $14.3 million in 2010, a decline from 2009 but an improvement over dismal results in 2007 and 2008.

The $14.3 million represents about 3 percent of the organization’s total revenue of nearly $480 million. Hospitals typically aim for a margin of between 4 and 6 percent.

The average hospital margin in 2010 in Oregon was 4.2 percent, according to the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems.

But St. Charles Chief Financial Officer Karen Shepard expressed concerns about the financial health of the organization going forward.

Shepard said fewer patients with commercial health insurance are coming in the door, leaving the hospital with a higher percentage of patients on Medicare or Medicaid.

“Neither one of them cover our costs,” Shepard said. “We’re highly concerned in Bend.”

More Medicare, less money The organization saw a slight increase in revenue from patient care compared with 2009, largely due to an increase in prices, Shepard said. She said the overall number of patients coming into the hospital in 2010 was virtually unchanged from the previous year.

But the shift from commercial insurance to government programs has the hospital re-examining its operations. “We are having to look very hard at how do we shift our expense structure to live on more of a Medicare base,” Shepard said.

Now more than half the patients in the hospital have Medicare. Five years ago, it was just about 40 percent.

Medicare and Medicaid reimburse the hospital at lower rates than commercial health insurance plans. Hospitals often use the revenue from commercial patients to make up for the lack of reimbursement from government payers.

With fewer commercially insured patients coming in, the hospital has a harder time making up the lost revenue.

To keep the organization financially healthy, Shepard said executives are looking at trying to shorten the length of a patient’s stay in the hospital, when appropriate for their care, because Medicare pays the same for a given condition no matter how long the patient stays in the hospital.

She also said the organization will be looking at its expense structure. “We have high nursing wages and high benefits when you compare us across the state,” she said. “That’s something we are going to be looking into.”

Shepard also said the hospital is not currently considering layoffs but would not rule them out in the future. “We are not projecting layoffs at this time, but we need to project forward and say how can we take care of a Medicare population.”

In 2009, in response to declining revenues, the hospital laid off about 120 staff.

Oregon hospitals Overall, all Oregon hospitals faced issues similar to St. Charles.

The state’s hospital association said in a statement prepared for The Bulletin that the economic recession and rise in patients without health insurance had contributed to overall slightly lower operating margins for Oregon hospitals in 2010 versus 2009.

Operating margins, the difference between patient revenue and operating expenses, dropped

from 4.3 to 4.2 percent, the group said.

These factors, along with health care reform and its potential changes “produce economic uncertainty” for hospitals, the hospital association said.

The economic conditions are additionally creating a rise in the number of people without health insurance, according to the hospital association and other groups. Hospitals often absorb some or all of the cost of caring for these patients, who typically lack the resources to pay on their own.

Oregon hospitals lost more than $1.2 billion in charged prices in 2010 through either charity care (reduced or free care given to those unable to pay) or bad debt (money not recovered from patients).

At St. Charles, charges forgone from charity care increased 24 percent between 2009 and 2010 to $39.5 million. Bad debt at St. Charles dropped from $28 million to $19 million, which Shepard said was the result of shifting more people to charity care.

Cash reserves More stability at St. Charles means the organization has been able to better its cash reserves over the year.

St. Charles currently has 166 days cash on hand, a measure of financial health reflecting the number of days the hospital could continue to operate without revenue.

That’s a significant improvement over the 104 days cash on hand it had at the end of 2008 and could result in an improved bond rating.

Days cash on hand is a key factor that ratings agencies look at when determining the financial health of a hospital.

Moody’s Investors Service, which appraises and rates outstanding bonds, upgraded St. Charles from a stable to positive outlook, though it did not change its A3 rating in a recent review.

A higher rating could affect the organization’s ability to obtain loans for future projects and the rate the organization pays on the loans.

In its analysis, Moody’s noted the organization still has challenges but is doing better. “The positive outlook reflects SCHS’s significantly improved operating performance.”

Hospital to pioneer new diabetes treatment

By Barbara Williams The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Doctors from Hackensack University Medical Center hope to find a cure for diabetes as they embark on a partnership with one of the world’s leading researchers for the disease.

The hospital will be the first to try a procedure on humans with diabetes that is currently being tested on monkeys in Florida — a collaborative effort with Dr. Camillo Ricordi, a pioneer in the field and the scientific director and chief academy officer of the University of Miami Diabetes Research Institute.

“Dr. Ricordi wants to find a cure for diabetes, and he doesn’t care how many people are involved in the process or share in the credit,” said Dr. Michael Shapiro, Hackensack’s chief of organ transplantation and leader of the diabetes partnership. “This collaboration will do great things for diabetes research.”

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that helps the body metabolize glucose into energy and control blood sugar levels.

With Type 1 diabetes, sometimes called juvenile diabetes and the most serious form of the disease, the body’s immune

“I’m optimistic for the future. If this isn’t a cure, it sounds like it’s a better treatment before a cure is found.”

— Stephanie Stone, 18

system destroys the cells from the pancreas that make insulin, called islets. People with Type 2 diabetes make insulin, but their body doesn’t utilize it correctly and production of it typically declines as they age. More than 25 million Americans have diabetes, and about 3 million of those suffer with Type 1.

Health care experts expect the number of diabetics to increase dramatically, as obesity can trigger Type 2 diabetes and Americans continue to get heavier.

Living for years with unregulated blood sugar levels can cause a myriad of symptoms, some as severe as blindness, poor circulation that leads to limb amputation, and kidney failure.

Typical treatment for diabetic patients includes insulin pumps, injections and oral medications.

Transplanting islets from deceased donors is sometimes effective, but it frequently triggers

other complications because the islets need to be implanted in the liver. The number of organ donors also falls way short of the number of diabetics who would benefit from a transplant.

In this latest study with monkeys, Ricordi loads islets on a disc and then implants them in the abdomen, rather than in the liver.

“The challenge is we’re dealing with an autoimmune disease so we have to replace or get cells to regenerate that were destroyed,” Ricordi told dozens of HUMC executives, physicians and health care workers this week. “And the key is to do this without a lifelong regimen of autoimmune rejection drugs.”

Based on the success with the primates, Shapiro is hoping to have four patients undergo the procedure in early 2012, though recruitment hasn’t begun. The ideal patients will be those who aren’t responding to other treatments.

Stephanie Stone, who was diagnosed with diabetes at 10 and is now 18, attended the announcement with her Franklin Lakes, N.J., family.

“I’m optimistic for the future,” Stephanie said. “If this isn’t a cure, it sounds like it’s a better treatment before a cure is found.”

It’s true: Business travel may really be killing you

By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

Business travelers often complain about the exhausting and stressful rigors of being on the road (or in the air) for much of their working lives. Now a study confirms that frequent business travel leads to increased health risks.

Researchers at Columbia University reviewed data on 13,000 people who were part of a corporate wellness program. About 80 percent of them traveled at least one night per month and 1 percent traveled more than 20 nights per month.

The study showed that people who didn’t travel at all for business were less healthy compared with others. That could reflect the fact that people who have health problems are less likely to have jobs that require travel, the authors said.

But among the people who traveled, health risks increased corresponding to the amount of time spent traveling. Extensive travelers were 260 percent more

likely than light travelers to rate their health as fair to poor. Obesity was 92 percent more common in the extensive travelers.

They also had higher cholesterol and high blood pressure.

It’s not hard to see how frequent travel can erode a person’s health, the authors said. Poor sleep patterns, unhealthy diets and long periods of inactivity all contribute. The stress of appointments, tight travel schedules and other job demands on the road are also linked to health problems. Workers who hit the road a lot should be encouraged to monitor their health more closely, the authors advised.

Employers can book their employees in hotels that have gyms or offer heart-healthy foods.

“Employee education programs on the association between business travel and health and on strategies to improve diet and activity while traveling are a simple start,” they wrote.

The study is published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Healthy steps for female runners Women may be at greater risk for some injuries; here are precautions to take

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

In recent decades, female participation in sports has boomed, and women are running more than ever. With Bend’s first allwomen’s half marathon and many other co-ed distance races coming up, there’s no doubt a lot of ladies are amplifying their mileage these days.

Studies suggest that female runners are more susceptible to certain injuries than men, especially stress fractures, anterior cruciate ligament injuries and knee pain. Despite the possibility of injury, it’s extremely important for women of all ages to be active, according to Dr. Viviane Ugalde, a physiatrist at The Center: Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research, in Bend. So she and other experts want to help women prepare prior to tackling a 5K, half-marathon or triathlon, so they can run without pain.

Structural differences

Home techniques

Women may be predisposed to different overuse injuries than men because of anatomical differences. Some studies have shown that female athletes have increased hamstrings flexibility and looser joints, which could be responsible for increased risk of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) within the knee.

These exercises you can do at home are meant to strengthen core muscles and stabilize the hips to better handle the repetitive impacts of running and thereby help prevent running-related injuries. Until you are comfortable doing the exercises, it might help to start in front of a mirror. You’ll need a latex exercise band, which is inexpensive and available online or through many sporting goods suppliers. Start with 10 repetitions on each side for each exercise.

Hailey Baldwin demonstrates the exercises with instruction from physical therapist Chris Vergona at Rebound Physical Therapy on Bend’s west side.

WOMEN VS. MEN • Wider pelvis • Less muscular thigh development • Different angles and rotations of the bones

HIP ABDUCTION Stand with the left foot on something elevated, such as a phone book, so the hips can remain level. Tie one end of an exercise band around the right leg and attach the other end to something sturdy, such as a table leg. Keep left leg in alignment, with the hip over the knee. Slowly move the right leg out to the right, pulling against the resistance of the band. Slowly bring leg back. Exercise should be felt on the outside of the hip. Touching something sturdy, such as a wall or furniture, is advised for balance.

paved surfaces.

“The next week I found a stress fracture in my foot,” she said. All that hard pounding on pavement in her light racing flats caught up with her a few days after what had felt like a good race.

Her advice: “Know the surface of your race and run and practice on that. It can make a difference.”

The old standby advice to injury-free distance training is to increase weekly mileage no more than 10 percent per week.

Over-training has left Austin with stress fractures in her shins, femur and hip. She also said runners need to vary their workouts.

Mix some hill runs with some flat ones. Mix short, faster-tempo runs with long, slow runs.

And take plenty of time off in between to let the body recover, she said Learning from experience with painful plantar fasciitis in

Getting started Ugalde suggested that new runners take an educational course through Footzone or Fleet Feet running stores in Bend, which offer sessions for all levels of runners for various distances of races. Experts there can cater a plan to each individual. Novice runners have higher chances of getting hurt than more-experienced runners, she said, but education programs can help prevent injuries.

Carrying extra weight can increase a runner’s chance of getting hurt, she added.

“This doesn’t mean that obesity should prevent you from running, but starting out with water aerobics or a spin cycling program to help with weight loss might be a smarter route to achieve both weight loss and exercise goals.

Novice runners who are obese should increases their intensity more slowly to avoid injuries,” she said.

Why women are at risk An article in The Croatian Medical Journal in 2007 studied typical overuse injuries in females and the physiological reasons behind them. It said, for example, women typically have wider pelvises than men, aligning the angle of their femurs in a way that could predispose them to more knee pain.

And women have smaller surface areas in the knee joint, leading to speculation that ligaments get impinged in the knee.

Women also tend to have more flexible hamstrings, which could be linked to anterior cruciate ligament injury risk, the article said.

Female athletes tend to have more “joint laxity” than their male counterparts, and some studies have shown that joint movement, or instability, increases the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Training tips There are ways to train for long-distance running events

SINGLE LEG SQUATS

HAPPY FEET EXERCISE

Using a step is optional. Start with the left leg bent in front, or on a step. Step back with the right foot and bend the knees to where it’s comfortable. Lower the body behind you, as if you’re sitting, so the left knee does not bend out in front of the left toes. Keep hips level. This should be felt in the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps.

Wrap exercise band around both feet. Squat slightly with feet apart and hips level. Walk sideways, stepping to each side, keeping feet apart and keeping tension on the band.

This is felt on the outside of the hips.

that can reduce the risk of injury.

Mark DeJohn, owner of Active Therapeutics, an “active release technique” provider, noted that most people were never taught how to run. If runners don’t stride correctly, they wind up with pain, he said. It’s fairly common for runners to cross their feet in front of them when they run, which results in hip pain. He recommends groin stretches for those runners.

For all runners he recommends the Good Form Running clinic through Footzone, which is free and requires a small commitment of time.

Other suggestions from DeJohn: • Warm up the body before pushing to exertion.

• Stretch the hamstrings and the quads after you’re done running, or separately from running. Stretch muscles when they are warm.

• Gradually increase speed by boosting your tempo for a halfmile or a mile at a time, rather than hitting the track for an intense sprinting interval workout before the body is conditioned for that. This technique will lower the risk of tendon, joint and muscle injuries.

• Regularly practice “functional” strength training — weightbearing exercises that involve the abdomen and back in movements that mimic real life activities, rather than isolating one particular muscle.

Mike Tompkins, a physical therapist who manages the westside location of Rebound Physical Therapy, agreed that functional strength training, complementary to running, helps prevent injuries. “There’s a misconception about strength,” he said. “Runners think they’re strong because they can run 15 miles.

is, running creates endurance, but you might get weaker in some places.”

Hips are generally an important area for all runners to focus on. Doing leg lifts and hip rotations, either with the body on the ground or standing on one leg, are examples of functional exercises. Lumbo-pelvic strength will improve control and balance, and can go a long way toward injury prevention, he said. (See photos for some examples.)

EXERCISE TIPS Need to tone up your arms? Try these workouts on for size As summer approaches and tank tops and sleeveless shirts float to the top of the dresser drawer, it’s time to tone up the arms. The back of the upper arm is a typical fat storage area, especially for women. But regular exercise and strength training can firm up the muscles there. Here are some tips to sculpting your biceps and triceps, from experts at Life Fitness, a fitness equipment company based in Illinois.

To challenge your muscles, choose weights that create muscle fatigue after two sets of 10 to 12 repetitions. You can do these at home with hand weights or dumbbells.

To firm up the triceps: Using both hands to grip a hand weight, extend your arms straight up above your head, then lower the weight back down behind your head, bending at the elbows. Try two sets of 10 extensions.

For the biceps: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a weight in each hand, arms straight at the sides.

Bend your elbows, slowly lifting the weights toward your shoulders. Keep elbows tight against your sides and avoid swinging the weights with momentum. Try three sets of 12 curls.

Push-ups: Using your own body weight as resistance, stretch out face-down on a mat and start by kneeling if necessary. Position hands under your shoulders, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Bend your elbows to a 90degree angle and lower your entire body using arm and ab strength, then push back up. Keep your abs tight and focus on not letting your lower back and hips sag. Try two sets of 10 push-ups to start.

Study: People who stay up late eat more, worse

By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

Staying up late at night can lead to an additional 2 pounds a month weight gain, researchers reported Wednesday. The study showed that people who go to bed late eat more food, have worse diets and are more likely to have a higher body mass index.

Many studies over the last 10 years have pointed to the need for people to sleep when they’re supposed to (at night) and to sleep for the needed amount of time — about eight hours for adults. Keeping a healthy sleep schedule allows the body’s circadian rhythms to stay in sync and keeps a range of metabolic and physiological systems running smoothly.

The new study adds to the sleep-weight connection. Northwestern University scientists examined 52 adults on their sleep and dietary patterns. More than half of the participants were normal sleepers — meaning that the midpoint of sleep occurred at or before 5:30 a.m. Late sleepers (44

percent of the sample) got less sleep and went to sleep later.

Late sleepers consumed more calories at dinner and after 8 p.m., ate more fast food, drank more high-calorie soft drinks and had lower fruit and vegetable consumption. Overall, late sleepers consumed 248 more calories per day than normal sleepers.

The late sleepers tended to eat less in the morning, then steeply increased their caloric intake in the afternoon and evening. It’s not clear, however, whether the late sleepers ate more unhealthy foods at night because they preferred them or because they had limited choices of food at later hours.

The study reinforces that ageold wisdom that when you eat is important. “When sleep and eating are not aligned with the body’s internal clock, it can lead to changes in appetite and metabolism,” the senior author of the study, Dr. Phyllis Zee, said in a news release.

The study was published online in the journal Obesity.

How to make healthy desserts for children

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Dessert doesn’t have to equal junk food on children’s plates. “If you stick with simple, all natural ingredients, desserts can be a sweet, satisfying and healthy addition to your family’s daily diet,” says Laurel Moll, a New Yorkbased holistic health coach and author of the blog laurelonhealthfood .com. “Just remember that when it comes to sweets, small servings are best.” Some ideas: Let kids help. The more children are involved in whipping up fun and creative desserts, the more likely they are to love them.

Turn fruit into “candy”. Drizzle melted dark chocolate on apples, bananas, pears or other favorites. Place the fruit on wax paper and chill it in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

Slowing down How to eat slowly? Here is a compilation of tips from the experts.

• Get into a relaxed state. Sit down and think about what you’re eating. Notice its flavors, smells and textures.

• Enjoy a conversation or the view out the window while you’re eating.

• Chew the food until it’s completely ground by your teeth.

• Pay attention to satiety, and stop when you’re satisfied.

• The experts acknowledge this is difficult for people on the go.

They encourage people to start these practices with a couple of meals a week or one meal a day.

Continued from F1 And who hasn’t experienced heartburn, gas or worse?

Gillaspie said the connection between the two is not a coincidence.

A lifestyle change Acid reflux is when stomach acids back-flow into the esophagus. If it progresses, it becomes gastroesophageal reflux disease. Symptoms of both include heartburn, chest pain or the taste of sour, regurgitated food in the back of your mouth.

Gillaspie, who has her own nutritional therapy practice in Sisters now, said she sees a lot of patients who eat antacids, suffer indigestion and think it’s normal to have gas. (She says it’s not.) While many things can contribute to acid reflux, she said cutting out processed foods and sugars and proper chewing have eliminated hers. Although she was already athletic, her more deliberate eating style made her drop some pounds.

Gillaspie will still enjoy a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate on occasion. She lives by an 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time she is “good,” meaning she avoids anything processed or high in sugar. She sits down and pays attention to the meal that she eats slowly. The other 20 percent of the time she lets herself eat something that contains processed products or sugars, or she eats in the car on the go.

She doesn’t take medications anymore except for hydrochloric acid pills to help restore necessary acids in her stomach that aid in digestion.

Antacids, she said, were actually counterproductive in the sense that they killed stomach acids important to digestion.

Digestion Digestion should start in the brain, Gillaspie said. When a person is cooking and thinking about the food they’re about to eat, it triggers salivation. Then the mechanics start in the mouth: Enzymes in the saliva combined with lots of chewing break the food down into a manageable condition for the rest of the digestive system.

Debra Boutin, a registered dietitian and chair of the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Science at Bastyr University in Washington, agrees with Gillaspie: Food needs to be properly chewed and mixed with enzymes so it hits the stomach in an appropriate form, and many people eat too fast The esophageal sphincter allows food particles to pass from the esophagus into the stomach, and then it shuts.

Without a tight seal, stomach acids can back-flow into the esophagus. The stomach has a thick protective lining that tolerates acid, but the esophagus does not. So if the esophageal sphincter is not sealed tight and acid hits the esophagus, it causes acid reflux. If there’s too much food dumped into the stomach, or if the food is not properly chewed up, it can put pressure on the esophageal sphincter and push it open.

There are other causes for acid reflux, Boutin said. For example, some people have a weak sphincter muscle, perhaps something they were born with, or from taking certain medications. Also, in a twist of irony, too much peppermint tea, which is known to calm an upset stomach, can actually weaken the esophageal sphincter, she said. Wearing tight clothes or being pregnant can also induce acid reflux.

Other potential problems Improperly digested food in the small intestines can trigger other problems, too. The pancreas might have to release more enzymes and get overused, or burned out, in a sense.

If enzymes are ineffective in processing food at this point in the system, a person can suffer uncomfortable gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. There’s a school of

Anne Aurand / The Bulletin

Sheree Gillaspie, a nutritional therapist in Sisters, eats her lunch at Angeline’s Bakery & Cafe in Sisters. She said eating too fast, consuming processed foods and stress all contributed to stomach pain and a diagnosis of acid reflux. Now she creates a calm atmosphere for eating her meals, chews her food “to liquid” and doesn’t have acid reflux or stomach pain like she used to.

able stomach gasses are exacerbated by swallowing air when one eats too rapidly. Another concern he has about scarfing down food is that a person doesn’t feel the sensation of satiety until 20 minutes after eating, so he or she keeps eating.

Obesity is a prevalent problem and can happen from regular overeating.

Eat with awareness thought, Boutin said, that constipation allows more time for toxins to soak into the intestines, but there’s not good hard science behind that, she said.

Undigested food stalled in the intestines can, however, upset the balance of bacteria and contribute to inflammation in the intestines, she said. When “bad” bacteria take over, she said, it can alter the barrier between the intestines and blood supply, prompting food sensitivities that show up as skin eczema, headaches or lethargy — symptoms that might not typically be associated with food.

The bacterial imbalance and inflammation in the intestines

can also contribute to an increased risk of hemorrhoids, which are painful, swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus, and diverticulosis, inflamed parts of the intestines that cause abdominal pain, Boutin said.

However, Dr. Richard Desi, a gastroenterologist with the Institute for Digestive Health and Liver Disease at Mercy Medical Center, a Catholic health care facility and teaching hospital for the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said he doesn’t see a link between fast eating and hemorrhoids or diverticulitis.

But he does attribute acid reflux to improperly chewing food. And, he said, uncomfort-

Boutin said mindful eating is the key to slowing down and creating a healthier digestive system. Our bodies are not cars that need a quick refuel, she said.

When we digest, blood flows to the gut, and the process demands a lot of energy.

“When we’re eating and then running around and stressed at work, the blood flow can’t all go to the gut because we’re multitasking,” she said. “It’s inefficient for the gut. You need to sit down and not do anything else while you eat. Be aware. Think about the food.”

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Before trying it, know the risks

By Judith Graham Chicago Tribune

In the past several years, many doctors have advanced the notion that it’s safest to start hormone therapy soon after menopause, when women are most eager to find relief from hot flashes, mood swings and insomnia.

And indeed, there’s good evidence that the potential benefits of hormone therapy (stronger bones, less heart disease and others) outweigh the potential risks (blood clots, stroke and more) during this period, according to a new scientific statement from the Endocrine Society.

But there’s an important wrinkle: Recent research shows that women who start the most common type of hormone therapy — estrogen plus progestin — soon after menopause have a significantly higher risk of breast cancer than those who take the hormones later or not at all.

Soon after menopause: The evidence suggests that taking these hormones for five years soon after menopause (within five years after menopause is complete) will cause an additional seven out of 1,000 women to develop breast cancer, compared with women who forgo hormone treatment, according to Dr. Richard Santen, lead author of the Endocrine Society’s new statement on hormone therapy.

Studies indicate that 15 out of every 1,000 women who do not take hormones in the five years following menopause will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

In general, as women age, their underlying risk of breast cancer rises.

Later after menopause: By contrast, an extra four out of 1,000

women who take estrogen plus progestin for five years later after menopause (at least five to 10 years after this change of life) are likely to experience breast cancer, noted Santen, a professor of medicine at the University of Virginia Health System.

Why would the timing of hormone therapy make a difference when it comes to breast cancer?

The answer lies partly with estrogen, which “promotes the growth of almost everything,” according to Dr. James Simon, a clinical professor at George Washington University.

While that growth-promoting effect may be good for a woman’s skin, blood vessels and sex organs, it can be harmful if she harbors tiny, undetectable tumors in her breasts, Simon observed.

With the onset of menopause, many of these tumors would have been deprived of estrogen and expanded little, if at all. But when hormones are administered, tumors can start growing and become noticeable through mammograms or physical exams, leading to higher rates of reported breast cancer, Simon explained.

When trying to evaluate the pros and cons of hormone therapy, make sure your doctor evaluates your breast cancer risk before you start taking hormones, said Simon, who also is president of Women’s Health & Research Consultants in Washington, D.C. Most women exaggerate the risk of dying from breast cancer by a factor of 10, he noted.

For women age 50 to 59, the chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer is 2.38 percent, according to statistics from the National Cancer Institute.

Continued from F1 If successful, the three-year demonstration could cut Medicare costs with only negligible amounts of upfront spending and would almost surely be expanded to all states.

“It is well established that Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic diseases — the same population served by the IAH program — receive poor quality and unnecessarily costly, disjointed care with often conflicting diagnoses for the same symptoms while accounting for the majority of Medicare’s costs,” the senators wrote in a letter to CMS. “Implementation of the IAH program as soon as possible would appear to be clearly in the best interests of the frail, chronically-ill Medicare beneficiaries eligible to participate in the IAH program as well as their caregivers and the Medicare program.”

Medicare already pays for house calls, and even boosted reimbursement for such visits by 50 percent in 1998.

The higher payment rates increased the frequency of house calls from 0.78 percent of all Medicare doctor visits in 1998 to 0.90 percent in 2004.

With the aging population, that number is poised to grow.

There are already 2 million chronically home-bound patients — half younger than age 65 — in the U.S., and according to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians, an estimated 2 million elderly will be home bound by 2020.

But few physicians can afford to take on large numbers of home-bound patients because of the extra time and cost associated with traveling to a patient’s home.

Dr. Rich MacDonell, an internist with the conciergestyle practice MyMD in Bend, believes he may be the only doctor in Central Oregon regularly making house calls. He charges patients an annual fee that allows him to keep a smaller roster of patients and to spend more time with each of them. But for traditional practices, the Medicare payment rates for house calls just don’t add up.

“The payment is woefully inadequate for the effort and time that’s involved,” he said.

“It may be twice what they pay for an office visit, but for most doctors, if you think about their appointment schedule, it’s 15 minutes (per patient). A house call takes two hours.”

House-call proponents argue the payment rate may be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

By better managing the care of patients that can’t easily get to the doctor’s office, house-call physicians can keep patients out of the hospital or nursing home, potentially saving thousands for the program.

In fact, the Medicare demonstration program was modeled after a highly successful 30-year Veterans Health Administration program that

helped individuals with multiple chronic conditions. The VA program has reduced hospital days by 62 percent, nursing home days by 88 percent and overall costs by 24 percent for patients treated at home.

“You see them in their true environment,” MacDonell said.

“That’s the part you don’t see in the office. We’re only getting a snippet of the circumstances that are driving their health.”

During home visits, MacDonell might see cigarettes and ashtrays or empty liquor bottles. He can point out tripping hazards that could cause a broken hip or take a peek in the medicine cabinet to see what pills patients are really taking. In one home visit, he saw scores of nutritional supplements on the dining room table, something the patient hadn’t mentioned during an office visit despite the risk of interactions between supplements and prescription drugs.

While many standard appointments can deal only with one or

Andy Tullis The Bulletin

two pressing problems, doctors doing home visits generally take the time to go over all the patient’s health issues. By being available for house calls at all hours, MacDonell can often keep his patients out of the emergency room.

“If you call after-hours and you get the on-call doctor who doesn’t know you and you say something like chest pains, he’s going to immediately tell you to go to the ER,” he said. “If it’s a snap judgment, that’s the default.”

And if MacDonell feels the patient does need hospital care, he can bypass the ER and have the patient admitted directly to a hospital room.

Bend retirees Chuck and Ann Frazier both see MacDonell in the privacy of their own home. In their 70s, both are still active and relatively healthy. But they are putting the pieces in place around them to be able to stay in their home as they get older and more frail. For now it’s merely a convenience. But they know eventually, it might be a necessity.

“I think that a home visit is critical when you really truly aren’t feeling well, and you just really don’t want to pull yourself out of bed to go in there,” Ann said. “It’s knowing that you have somebody that doesn’t make you try to get in to see them for 10 minutes. The doctor will come

and be here in an hour.”

The Fraziers saw how valuable the home visits were when Chuck’s mother came to stay with them for the final years of her life.

“When my mother got to the point in several instances where she couldn’t get out comfortably, the doctor was right here to help us out,” said Chuck. “He would see the patient right in her own environment. It made it possible to follow through on the aging-inplace concept.”

MacDonell comes to visit them with a little black bag and two manila folders with their latest records. He brings copies of their test results, checks their blood pressure and listens to their breathing with his stethoscope.

Then he spends as much time going over their health concerns as they need.

“I think there are times when you talk more freely when you’re at home,” Ann said.

But it’s the doctor’s time they truly appreciate.

“It’s not a rush, slam-bam, we’ll deal with your next diagnosis next week,” Chuck said. “We deal with every diagnosis and every issue each time. That is great, and that’s the way it ought to be.”

Eric Vetterlein, 1100 SW Sixth Avenue #1200, Portland, Oregon 97204, proposes a change in point of appropriation and a change in place of use under Certificate 85977. The right allows the use of 0.012 cubic foot per second (priority date March 4, 1980) from a well in Sec. 19, T 15 S, R 11 E, W.M. (Deschutes Basin) for irrigation in Sec. 30, T 15 S, R 11 E, W.M.
