A lawsuit brought by the family of the victim of a fatal January hit-and-run asserts Bret Lee Biedscheid was intoxicated on the night he struck and killed Anthony “Tony” Martin in January.

Attorney Tom D’Amore said investigators working for him have found evidence Biedscheid had been drinking at the Black Horse Saloon in northeast Bend prior to the crash on Jan. 26.

D’Amore said because police were unable to contact Biedscheid until days after

the crash, prosecutors lack the evidence needed to pursue a criminal charge of driving while intoxicated. However, under the less stringent standards of civil procedure — a criminal prosecution must establish claims “beyond a reasonable doubt,” while a civil claim must be supported by “clear and convincing evidence” — D’Amore believes he can show Biedscheid was intoxicated on the night Martin was killed.

The suit, filed Wednesday in Deschutes County Circuit Court, seeks $505,000 on behalf of Martin’s sister and three children.

Redmond Historic Landmarks Commission chair Jack Nelson stands in front of a historic building in Dry Canyon in Redmond Wednesday morning. The building may have been built in 1905 and may have served as a schoolhouse.

Community Development Director Heather Richards said the house was no longer being threatened by the parking lot construction, but discussion still needs to be held on what to do with it.

“We’re still doing research but we think it might be the oldest structure in Redmond,” Richards said. “Until this commission raised awareness of

that there wasn’t a lot of assigned value to it. It was just a boarded-up old house.”

The commission will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 13 at 716 S.W. Evergreen Ave. to discuss a way to protect and improve the structure. Any recommendation from the board would require a blessing from the city council.

ATLANTA — Drink up, America. The government needs the money.

With cities across the country facing their fifth straight year of declining revenues and states cutting services and laying off workers, raising money from people who enjoy a cocktail is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

Twelve states have raised taxes on alcohol or changed alcohol laws to increase revenue, including Maryland, which in July pushed the sales tax on alcohol to 9 percent, from 6 percent — the first such increase

REDMOND — A dilapidated house, slowly crumbling into a field of dead grass along Redmond’s Dry Canyon trail, may be the city’s oldest building, and a newly formed city board is working to save it.

The Redmond Historic Landmarks Commission formed in August to focus on projects like the house in the canyon.

The board’s intent is to update the city inventory of historically significant places and work on preserving them.

The house came to the board’s attention as construction of a parking lot began in the canyon, just north of Black Butte Boulevard. The city thought it might need to tear the house down as construction moved forward. The house, which the city owns, was moved to that location a number of years ago.

The house looks as if it might fall down on its own. It sits mostly boarded up by the side of the road, but signs of vandalism and neglect are obvious. The exposed windows are broken, graffiti mars parts of the structure, the roof is sagging and the front porch is structurally questionable.

But with some research the city found the building may have been built in 1905, five years before Redmond’s incorporation, and it might have served as a schoolhouse.

“The fact that it was a schoolhouse is significant, but the age is certainly important,” said Jack Nelson, chairman of the newly formed commission. “First off is it needs to be protected, and second, it obviously needs to be revamped.”

Anthony “Tony” Martin, left, was struck and killed in a Jan. 26 hit-and-run. His family is suing Bret Lee Biedscheid, right, who last week pleaded not guilty to charges in Martin’s death.

The administration called upon the justices to review the decision of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta.

Students and other visitors can now tote firearms around Oregon university campuses, thanks to an Oregon Court of Appeals ruling on Wednesday.

The court determined that an Oregon State Board of Higher Education rule prohibiting guns and explosives on campus violated a state law.

The ruling may not change life on the Oregon State University-Cascades Campus, though.

According to Ron Paradis, college relations director for Central Oregon Community College, OSU-Cascades has a memorandum of understanding that may negate the ruling here in Bend.

“Our (memorandum) with OSU states that they must follow our rules because they’re on our campus,” he said.

Because COCC has a policy prohibiting “firearms, explosives, ammunition, or fireworks of any kind,” they cannot be carried or used on campus except by civil authorities. The Oregon University System does not oversee community colleges, so COCC officials do not believe the ruling will affect their campus.

“Our initial understanding is that this directly affects (only) the Oregon University System. But we’ll have to check with our attorney to see if it impacts us,” Paradis said.

In its ruling, the court found that the university system’s administrative rule barring firearms, explosives, dangerous chemicals and other dangerous weapons was superseded by a state law that says that the authority to regulate firearms lies only with the Legislature.

The court said while the State Board of Higher Education had a right to make rules regarding the “conduct of visitors or members of the public on institutional properties,” as an arm of the state it was still not the Legislature and therefore its administrative rule was invalid.

Guadalupe Aguayo filed a complaint after being told that her accent would prevent her from teaching students. A federal investigation of possible civil rights violations prompted Arizona to call off its so-called “accent police,” after almost a decade of sending monitors to classrooms across the state to check on teachers’ articulation.

Teacher accents stir civil rights debate

By Marc Lacey New York Times News Service

PHOENIX — When Guadalupe Aguayo puts her hand to her heart, faces the American flag in the corner of her classroom and leads her secondgraders in the Pledge of Allegiance, she says some of the words — like allegiance, republic and indivisible — with a noticeable accent.

When she tells her mostly Latino students to finish their breakfasts, quiet down, pull out their homework or capitalize the first letter in a sentence, the same accent can be heard.

Aguayo is a veteran teacher in the Creighton Elementary School District in central Phoenix as well an immigrant from northern Mexico who learned English as an adult. Confronted about her accent by her principal several years ago, Aguayo took a college acting class, saw a speech pathologist and consulted with an accent reduction specialist, none of which transformed her speech.

As Aguayo has struggled, though, something else has changed. Arizona, after almost a decade of sending monitors to classrooms across the state to check on teachers’ articulation, recently made a sharp about-face on the issue. A federal investigation of possible civil rights violations prompted the state to call off its accent police.

“To my knowledge, we have not seen policies like this in other states,” Russlynn Ali, the assistant federal secretary of education for civil rights, said in an interview. She called it “good news” that Arizona had altered its policy.

Silverio Garcia Jr., who runs a barebones organization called the Civil Rights Center out of his Phoenix-area home to challenge discrimination, was the one who pressed the accent issue.

In May 2010, he filed a class-action complaint with the federal Department of Education alleging that teachers had been unfairly transferred and students denied educations with those teachers.

The Justice Department joined the in-

Study: Students lack knowledge of civil rights history Ignorance by U.S. students of the basic history of the civil rights movement has not changed — in fact, it has worsened, according to a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The report says states’ academic standards for public schools are one major cause of the problem.

“Across the country, state educational standards virtually ignore our civil rights history,” concludes the report, which was released Wednesday.

The report assigns letter grades to each state based on how extensively its academic standards address the civil rights movement.

Thirty-five states got an F because their standards require little or no mention of the movement, it says.

Eight of the 12 states earning A, B or C grades for their treatment of civil rights history are Southern states where there were major protests, boycotts or violence during the movement’s peak years in the 1950s and ’60s.

— New York Times News Service quiry, but federal investigators closed Garcia’s complaint in late August after the state agreed to alter its policies.

“This was one culture telling another culture that you’re not speaking correctly,” Garcia said.

The state says teacher reviews were in line with the decade-old No Child Left Behind Act, which requires that only instructors fluent in English teach students who are learning English. State education officials say that accents were never the focus of their monitoring.

“It was a repeated pattern of misuse of the language or mispronunciation of the language that we were looking for,” said Andrew LeFevre, a spokesman for the State Department of Education. “It’s critically important that teachers act as models when it comes to language.”

But the federal review found that the state had written up teachers for pronouncing “the” as “da,” “another” as “anuder” and “lives here” as “leeves here.”

The teachers who were found to have strong accents were not fired, but their school districts were required to work with them to improve their speech.

That was the case even when the local school officials had already assessed the teachers as fluent in English.

“It’s a form of discrimination,” said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a lawyer with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center in San Francisco, who is representing Aguayo in a discrimination complaint. “People hear an accent and think it means something.”

John Huppenthal, Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction, has sent mixed signals about the state’s position on accents. In an article in The Arizona Republic, he said he would seek authority from the Legislature to allow monitoring of teachers’ fluency in English.

But Huppenthal’s spokesman, LeFevre, said that Huppenthal made that comment before he had all the information on the matter and that he had no plans to pursue the issue with lawmakers in the next legislative session.

In the Creighton Elementary School District, where about a dozen teachers attracted the attention of the state monitors, an accent reduction specialist was brought in from Canada last year to address the state’s concerns.

“Many of these teachers are fine teachers and have other great qualities,” said Susan Lugo, the director of human resources at the Creighton district, where 95 percent of the students are minorities and about a third of the students speak languages other than English.

A report to be released Tuesday by a group seeking to raise college graduation rates shows that despite decades of steadily climbing enrollment rates, the percentage of students making it to the finish line is barely budging.

The group, Complete College America, is a nonprofit founded two years ago with financing from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Lumina Foundation and others. Its report, which had the cooperation of 33 governors, showed how many students in states completed their degrees, broken down into categories, including whether enrollment is full or part time, or at a two- or four-year institution.

The numbers are stark: In Texas, for example, of every 100 students who enrolled in a public college, 79 started at a community college, and only two of them earned a two-year degree on time; even after four years, only seven graduated. Of the 21 of those 100 who enrolled at a fouryear college, five graduate on time; after eight years, only 13 had earned a degree.

Similarly, in Utah, for 100 students who enrolled in a public college, 71 chose a community college, 45 enrolling full time and 26 part time; after four years, only 14 of the full-time students and one of the part-time students graduated. Of the 29 who started at a four-year college, only 13 got their degrees within eight years.

Because of gaps in federal statistics, students who enroll part time, or transfer have been nearly invisible, said Stan Jones, the president of Complete College America.

“We know they enroll, but we don’t know what happens to them,” he said. “We shouldn’t make policy based on the image of students going straight from high school to college, living on campus, and graduating four years later, when the majority of college students don’t do that.”

Currently, federal education statistics generally focus on first-time full-time students. But according to the report, about 4 of every 10 public college students attend part time — and no more than a quarter of part-time students ever graduate.

“It’s really, really hard to get your hands on completion rates for nontraditional students,” said Judith Scott-Clayton, of the Community College Research Center at Teachers College. “If somebody pops in and takes a community college class and they don’t finish, you don’t know whether they were ever planning to get a degree.”

Among older students, as well as those who are awarded Pell grants, and black and Hispanic students, the report said, fewer than 1 in 5 of those attending college part time will earn a degree in six years.

“Time is the enemy of college completion,” the report said. “The longer it takes, the more life gets in the way of success.”

One factor, Jones said, is the increasing practice of amassing more credits than are required for a degree.

Another factor is the large number of students mired in noncredit remedial classes that the report calls the “Bermuda Triangle” of higher education. Half of all students studying for an associate degree, and 1 in 5 of those seeking a bachelor’s degree — including many who graduated from high school with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, previous research has shown — are required to take remedial, or “developmental” courses, and many of them never move on to credit-bearing courses, much less graduation.

The report recommends that states adopt financing incentives to push colleges to pay more attention to completion rates.

And it highlights strategies that have helped to increase graduation rates. Among those strategies are embedding remedial instruction in the curriculum, rather than requiring separate courses, and offering programs that students attend in a block, with a predictable schedule and a cohort of other students seeking the same credential.

Satirical ‘diversity bake sale’ sparks discussion at Berkeley

By Lee Romney Los Angeles Times

BERKELEY, Calif. — Hundreds of students packed the University of California, Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza on Tuesday to express their views on the use of race and gender in university admissions decisions — and to weigh in on the tone of the debate.

The dialogue in this bastion of the freespeech movement was triggered by a bake sale, sponsored by the Berkeley College Republicans, that promised goods priced according to the buyer’s race, ethnicity and gender.

The event, met with anger by many students, was timed to counteract a phone bank in support of a bill on California Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk that would allow the University of California and California State University systems to consider such factors, as long as no preference was given.

Proposition 209, passed by state voters in 1996, banned affirmative action in public university admissions. The current bill would not violate that ban. Instead it would permit schools to consider things such as ethnicity, much as they do extracurricular activities, when weighing

candidates.

Under the bake sale’s satirical pricing structure, whites were supposed to pay $2 for the same pastry that would cost Native Americans just 25 cents. (The Republican club, however, accepted whatever people chose to pay.) Supporters formed a protective barrier around the group’s table on Tuesday; Prop 209 author and former UC Regent Ward Connerly, who is black, showed up to help the students sell frosted cupcakes.

Republican campus clubs have held such sales over the years to challenge racial preference policies. But this time social media spread the news worldwide, prompting outrage and praise for organizers. The event spawned a secondary debate about civility and respect.

“It’s kind of ugly,” said 21-year-old gender and women’s studies major Tatianna Peck, who held a sign in mock protest of the exclusion of “queer people” from the pricing structure. “It’s ... forcing people into a defensive position instead of an honest place of listening.”

On Sunday, the Associated Students of the University of California’s senate passed a resolution condemning “the use of discrimination whether it is in satire or

Anthropology major Damaris Olaechea, 24, and her roommate did their part Tuesday to create “an environment where people can come have dialogue with respect and sensitivity,” giving out hundreds of pink home-baked “conscious cupcakes.”

T S FBI says man plotted to bomb Pentagon, Capitol using drones

Study: Hispanic children in poverty surpass whites

By Sabrina Tavernise New York Times News Service

By Peter Finn The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — A 26-yearold physics graduate and model hobbyist from Massachusetts was arrested Wednesday in an FBI undercover operation and accused of planning to build small, explosive-laden drones to attack the Pentagon and the Capitol, according to an FBI affidavit and law enforcement officials.

Rezwan Ferdaus, a U.S.-born citizen of South Asian background, traveled to Washington last May to conduct surveillance and intended to launch three small GPS-guided aircraft from East Potomac Park south of the Jefferson Memorial. Two were to have targeted the Pentagon and one the Capitol, according to a detailed plan he gave to the FBI. The alleged attack would have represented a rare attempt to

strike the United States with a technology that successive administrations have deployed against suspected terrorists and insurgents in a half-dozen countries, ranging from Afghanistan to Yemen, over the past decade.

When he was arrested in Framingham, Mass., Ferdaus had already acquired one remote-controlled aircraft, a model of the F-86 Sabre, a Cold War-era U.S. fighter jet, the FBI affidavit said. He was also planning to expand his attack to include an immediate follow-on assault at both sites with two three-man teams wielding automatic weapons, the FBI said.

In recent years, the FBI has increasingly relied on undercover operatives to build cases against suspected terrorists, an approach that officials say has been effective in preventing attacks. Un-

dercover law enforcement operatives have secretly befriended those suspected of plotting terrorist attacks and, in some case, made available the means to carry them out. These methods have drawn criticism from some Muslims who accuse the government of unfairly targeting their community, and from defense lawyers who say such tactics can constitute entrapment.

The FBI undercover agents provided Ferdaus with the money to buy the drones, but law enforcement officials said Ferdaus came up with the idea for the attack. Prosecutors said Ferdaus “was presented with multiple opportunities to back out of his plan, including being told that his attack would likely kill women and children,” but that he “never wavered in his desire to carry out the attacks.”

A graduate of Northeastern University in Boston who lived in the basement of his parents’ home in Ashland, Mass., Ferdaus began planning to commit violent jihad against the United States in early 2010 after viewing radical websites and videos, the FBI said.

In a series of recorded conversations with a former felon who was cooperating with the FBI and two undercover agents, Ferdaus described Americans as the “enemies of Allah” and said he wanted to “decapitate” the U.S. government’s “military center,” according to the affidavit.

Ferdaus believed the undercover FBI agents were recruiters for al-Qaida, and Ferdaus supplied them with seven mobile phones that he modified to act as electrical switches for improvised explosive devices in Iraq.

New clues on whereabouts of 3 Gadhafis

By Kareem Fahim and Rick Gladstone New York Times News Service

TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi, the fugitive former Libyan leader toppled from power a month ago, is likely to have taken refuge near the Algerian border under the protection of sympathetic nomadic tribesmen who have fought for him, an official of the new Libyan government said Wednesday.

The official also said Gadhafi’s son and heir apparent, Seif alIslam Gadhafi, was likely to be hiding in the loyalist desert enclave of Bani Walid, and that a second son, Muatassim Gadhafi, a militia commander and former national security adviser, was probably in Sirte, the Gadhafi clan’s hometown on the Mediterranean coast.

Armed supporters of Gadhafi in Bani Walid and Sirte have defied demands for surrender by anti-Gadhafi forces who have besieged both towns. And despite days of bombardment by NATO warplanes, the colonel’s loyalists, with a seemingly plentiful supply of ammunition, have repelled repeated advances. On

Bela Szandelszky / The Associated Press

Libyan revolutionary fighters fire missiles while attacking Sirte on Wednesday. Thousands of revolutionary fighters wait near Sirte to enter the hometown of Libya’s ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Wednesday, anti-Gadhafi commanders sent at least five tanks into Sirte; they quickly came under fire by Grad rockets, which barely missed the tanks, Reuters reported.

The resistance has helped fuel the speculation that senior Gadhafi family members are hiding in the two towns. In recent weeks, military commanders from Mis-

rata, who have led the fight to take Sirte, have said that they have heard Muatassim Gadhafi’s voice on radio transmissions, and witnesses have told anti-Gadhafi fighters that Seif al-Islam has been seen in Bani Walid.

The latest information about Gadhafi and his two sons was reported by Hisham Buhagiar, a military official in the National

Transitional Council, in an interview with Reuters.

He said Gadhafi, who has not appeared in public since his opponents overran Tripoli in late August and drove him underground, was sheltering near the western town of Ghadamis, near the border with Algeria, under the protection of the Tuaregs, tribesmen who roam the Sahara traversing Libya and its neighboring nations.

Buhagiar did not explain the sources of his information.

Previous assertions by the National Transitional Council about their whereabouts have not proved accurate.

The council’s political leaders continued their efforts to try to form a working government, a process that has stalled amid infighting and regional rivalries. A list of Cabinet members released unofficially Wednesday by a person with knowledge of the deliberations included prominent names from the eastern city of Benghazi and seemed intended to placate leaders from that region, but it was not clear whether former rebels from other areas would be satisfied.

Thousands arrested Italian church blasts behavior of the nation’s political elite in crackdown on criminal immigrants

By Elisabetta Povoledo

New York Times News Service

By Charlie Savage New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announced on Wednesday that it had arrested 2,901 immigrants who have criminal records, highlighting the Obama administration’s policy of focusing on such people while putting less emphasis on deporting illegal immigrants who pose no demonstrated threat to public safety.

Officials from the agency portrayed the seven-day sweep, called Operation Cross Check, as the largest enforcement and removal operation in its history. It involved arrests in all 50 states of criminal offenders of 115 nationalities, including people convicted of manslaughter, armed robbery, aggravated assault and sex crimes.

“These are not people who are making a positive contribution to their communities,” said the agency’s director, John Morton. “They are not the kind of people we want walking our streets.”

More than 1,600 of those arrested had been convicted of a felony. The remainder had a misdemeanor conviction for matters like theft, forgery and driving while intoxicated, the agency said. Those arrested included illegal immigrants and lawful resident noncitizens who had been convicted of crimes that made them eligible to be deported.

The agency did not release the names of all the people arrested. But a sampling that showed the geographical breadth of the operation included one person from the New York City area: Virgilio Lopez-Ruiz, a 54-year-old Dominican who was living in the Bronx. He had been convicted on Nov. 16, 1988, of second-degree attempted murder, it said. It did not provide his immigration status.

Morton issued a memo in June suggesting that the agency should place a priority on deporting noncitizen criminals like drug dealers and gang members, as well as people who have flagrantly violated immigration laws, for example by ignoring deportation orders or re-entering the country after being removed.

ROME — Over the past several years, the Roman Catholic Church in Italy has largely looked the other way as reports emerged of a series of sex and corruption scandals among the country’s political elite, many of them centered on Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. But a recent published account of a party at Berlusconi’s home, where one female guest was said to have performed a striptease dressed as a nun, might have been more than the church could stand.

This week the church issued its strongest reprimands yet of Italy’s ruling class, deploring “behavior that not only goes counter to public decorum but is intrinsically sad and hollow.”

Italians “look on their public leaders with consternation and the image of the country abroad has been dangerously weakened,” Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishop’s Confer-

ence, told his fellow bishops Monday. On Tuesday, he called for an “upright lifestyle,” saying that the country needed a “correction of habits and lifestyles” to help it emerge from a “culture of nothingness.”

Although Bagnasco did not single out Berlusconi — who is in court fighting several corruption charges and accusations of having sex with a minor, and has lately become embroiled in a scandal involving prostitutes paid to attend parties at his villas — the cardinal spoke of “licentious conduct and improper relationships that damage society.” And he blasted a governing class preoccupied with itself while Italian citizens struggled to make ends meet.

On Wednesday, the lower house of parliament rejected an opposition no-confidence vote against Agriculture Minister Saverio Romano, who is under investigation in Sicily for reported ties to the Mafia.

By Eric Schmitt New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The White House and State Department on Wednesday sought to temper remarks by the nation’s top military officer last week that the insurgents who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan this month were “a veritable arm” of Pakistan’s spy agency.

The comments by Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were the first to directly link the spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, with an assault on the U.S., and they ignited a diplomatic furor with Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders, who have denied the accusation.

Asked Wednesday whether he agreed that the Haqqani network, the militant group blamed for the embassy attack, was “a veritable arm” of the ISI, Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, told reporters, “It’s not language I would use.”

He pivoted quickly to say the Obama administration is united in its assessment that “links” exist between the Haqqani network and the ISI, “and that Pakistan needs to take action to address that.”

Carney’s comments, echoed by State Department and other administration officials, seemed aimed at supporting Mullen’s tough comments up to a point, while giving Pakistan a small window to save face.

WASHINGTON — Hispanic children living in poverty in the United States outnumber poor white children for the first time, a demographic shift that was hastened by the recession, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center.

The number of Hispanic children in poverty jumped by 36 percent from 2007 to 2010, bringing the total to 6.1 million, compared with 5 million white children who are poor, said the report, which analyzed recent data from the Census Bureau.

The recession drove the rise, the report found. But demographics also contributed. The Hispanic population has grown by more than 40 percent over the past decade.

Hispanics make up 16 percent of the overall U.S. population but are a quarter of the country’s children.

“Who they become will be important for the future of the nation,” said Mark Hugo Lopez, the associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center and the principal author of the report.

Hispanics suffered in the recession in part because they were heavily employed in in-

dustries like housing that experienced sharp declines. It sliced 7 percent off their median income and bumped their unemployment rate up to 11 percent, from 5.7 percent before the recession began. In comparison, the national rate is 9 percent.

Children of immigrant parents were far more likely to be poor. Of the 6.1 million Latino children living in poverty, more than two-thirds had immigrant parents, according to the Pew report. Most of those children were born in the United States.

The other 2 million had parents born in the United States.

While the number of Hispanic children in poverty is the highest ever, the poverty rate — 35 percent in 2010 — is well under its 1994 peak of 41 percent.

Nor do Hispanics have the largest share in poverty of all racial and ethnic groups. In 2010, 39.1 percent of black children — 4.3 million — lived in poverty, as did 12.4 percent of white children.

There were some bright spots in the report. Lopez said that most young Hispanics believe they will be better off than their parents, citing surveys the center has conducted. College enrollment has been rising significantly among young Hispanics.

Alabama wins ruling on immigration law

By Campbell Robertson New York Times News Service

A federal judge Wednesday upheld most of the sections of Alabama’s far-reaching immigration law that had been challenged by the Obama administration, including portions that had been blocked in other states.

The decision, by Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn of U.S. District Court in Birmingham,

makes it much more likely that the fate of the recent flurry of state laws against illegal immigration will eventually be decided by the Supreme Court. It also means that Alabama now has by far the strictest such law of any state.

“Today Judge Blackburn upheld the majority of our law,” Gov. Robert Bentley said in a brief statement he delivered outside

the State Capitol in Montgomery. “With those parts that were upheld, we have the strongest immigration law in the country.”

The judge did issue a preliminary injunction against several sections of the law, agreeing with the government’s case that they pre-empted federal law. She blocked a broad provision that outlawed the harboring or transporting of illegal immigrants

and another that barred illegal immigrants from enrolling in or attending public universities.

The governor, in his statement, said he believed even the sections that were temporarily enjoined Wednesday would eventually be upheld and added that the state would consider appealing if that did not happen.

Health Continued from A1 The 11th Circuit Court is the only appeals court to say Congress exceeded its power in passing the law. The law requires almost every American to have health insurance.

“Throughout history, there have been similar challenges to other landmark legislation such as the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act, and all of those challenges failed,” the Justice Department said in a statement.

“We believe the challenges to Affordable Care Act, like the one in the 11th Circuit, will also ultimately fail and that the Supreme Court will uphold the law.”

The law, enacted when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress, has roiled national politics and prompted calls for repeal from the Republican presidential candidates running to replace President Barack Obama.

The political consequences of whether it is better or worse for Obama’s re-election chances to have the case decided before the

Guns Continued from A1 “We are disappointed in the ruling of the court in this case and will consider our options,” Oregon University System Chancellor George Pernsteiner wrote in a prepared statement. “Our greatest concern is for the safety of our students and the entire campus community.”

Pernsteiner pointed to alert systems the campuses have installed to let those on campus know when there are safety threats.

“These systems and actions will continue to be in place and we will review if there are additional actions we should take to ensure that we are protecting students and their learning environment,” he wrote.

The rule prohibiting firearms has been in place on Oregon college campuses since 1991.

“The question isn’t why do we need to have guns on campus,

Alcohol Continued from A1 In November, voters in Atlanta and elsewhere in Georgia will decide whether to repeal colonialera laws that ban alcohol sales on Sunday.

People touring the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn., may finally be able to have a sip now that the state has loosened laws to allow tastings as part of a package of changes intended to attract more alcohol-related business to the state.

Even universities are hoping booze will raise revenue. Fans of the Louisiana State University Tigers will soon be drinking Bandit Blonde, a beer whose name refers to a famous 1950s football defense. Made by a local brewery under a licensing agreement, it puts money into the university coffers with every swig.

The beer will be sold on tap and in gold-and-purple cans at bars, restaurants and stores around Louisiana. The university will get royalties of between 6 percent and 8 percent, said Charles D’Agostino, executive director of the university’s Louisiana Business and Technology Center.

Although some drinkers and government budget writers might like the changes, not everyone is happy.

“Lawmakers are taking a very short-sighted view,” said David Jernigan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “What they gain in short-term tax revenue they are losing in long-term police costs, emergency room costs and workforce readiness costs in terms of the Monday morning effect.”

Like many public health officials, Jernigan does not support

election have been debated with little consensus. But the administration put aside options that could have created a delay, and its petition Wednesday ensures a quicker decision by the court.

A Justice Department official authorized to speak only on background said a consensus existed within the department that there is much to do on behalf of the federal government, states and the private sector to implement the act by 2014 and that a final decision by the court was needed.

The historic split the law has provoked is evidenced by the very lawsuit at hand: It was brought by 26 objecting states.

“It represents an unprecedented challenge involving over half the states in the nation to an unprecedented legislative initiative,” former Bush administration solicitor general Paul Clement wrote in a petition to the court on behalf of the states.

The states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which joined the challenge, also filed petitions with the court Wednesday. They, too, want Supreme Court review of the decision, because while the

panel voted 2-1 to strike the individual mandate, it upheld other parts of the law.

The Obama administration has won in the other appeals courts that have considered the law. In June, a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati upheld the health-care law in a separate case.

Earlier this month, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va., turned down a challenge to the law brought by the Commonwealth of Virginia and others.

The administration’s petition completes the conditions that almost always guarantee Supreme Court review: a decision by a lower court that an act of Congress is unconstitutional, conflicting opinions in other courts and an agreement by all parties the justices need to settle the dispute.

But the court has great flexibility in deciding when and how to take cases. Also, accepting the issue does not necessarily mean the court will resolve the threshold constitutional question it is asked. It could withhold judgment until major components of the act,

such as the individual mandate, go into effect in 2014.

The administration said the court should resolve all issues, and that the Atlanta court’s decision most squarely presented the relevant issues.

The two judges in the majority in that ruling, Chief Judge Joel Dubina and Circuit Judge Frank Hull, called the law’s requirement that virtually every American obtain insurance a “wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority.”

They rejected the administration’s argument that such power is vested in the Constitution’s Commerce Clause, which gives Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce.

But the administration said the court failed to defer to Congress’s decision on the best way to deal with a national “crisis” in affordable health care. It said the mandate of minimum insurance coverage “rests upon direct, tangible and well-documented economic effects on interstate commerce.”

it’s that why are college campuses treated differently than anywhere else?” said Kevin Sparrett, the executive director of the Oregon Firearms Education Foundation. “If you have a legal right and a reason to have a firearm, which we believe they do, then it makes little sense to say that right is simply eliminated when a person crosses a street and is on college property.”

And, Sparrett pointed out, college campuses have been the setting for several deadly shooting sprees.

“In every case, the people who were mowed down were forbidden from protecting themselves (with a weapon),” he said. “What makes a college campus different from a mall?”

Sparrett expects political fallout from the ruling.

“We believe the (state) statute is very clear,” Sparrett continued. “We didn’t want to change the law because we felt the law already did what was right. ... It’s getting the bureaucrats to obey

their own laws.”

Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, believes the ruling makes sense.

“The law says you can carry a concealed weapon. So I think the appellate court at least upheld Oregon law.”

Because Oregonians must undergo training to carry concealed weapons, Telfer doesn’t worry about licensed gun carriers on college campuses.

“Those people go through a lot of training and background checks. It’s not just anybody running around with a gun,” she said. “They’re trained and scrutinized and licensed and go through a whole lot of hoops. ...

These are reputable people. It’s the ones that aren’t licensed who will ignore the law anyway, those are the ones that worry me.”

Last session, Telfer said, the Legislature failed to pass a law that would have prohibited guns on college campuses. She’s not sure how much traction a similar bill would get in the coming year.

Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, said he doesn’t know of any legislation underway that would preempt the court’s ruling.

“I don’t think anyone has had time to digest (the ruling) yet,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any legislation at this point but that doesn’t mean there won’t be.”

Wednesday’s ruling differs from a 2009 Oregon appeals court ruling that found in favor of the Medford School District, which had a policy prohibiting its employees from carrying guns to school or school events. The appeals court found in that case, in which a teacher wanted to carry her concealed weapon while in the classroom, the school district was allowed to enact such employment policies.

government efforts that increase the availability of alcohol but does support raising sales taxes as a way to make people drink less.

Taxes don’t always slow things down at happy hour, however.

Because there is not a good substitute for alcohol, state officials are banking on the idea that people will simply pay more or drink cheaper brands.

“These are kind of antitax times, so it’s tough to raise any kind of tax, but this is one they might have more success with,” said Mark Stehr, an associate professor of economics at Drexel University in Philadelphia who has studied the effects of taxes and other regulations on cigarettes and alcohol.

“Legislators can say it’s to protect health and reduce drunk driving, and that’s what can draw support, but the real motivation is revenue,” he said.

The nation’s states and local governments take in $17 billion a year from alcohol taxes. And although the number has been rising steadily, the recession has slowed that growth, said David Ozgo, chief economist at the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

Still, states keep adding them.

Illinois raised alcohol taxes in 2009 specifically for roads, schools and other projects, adding about $100 million a year to the capital fund. In 2010, Washington state installed a temporary excise tax on certain beers that adds about 28 cents a six-pack.

In three years, it should bring in about $180 million.

Although a study from the distilled spirits council predicts that Sunday sales in Georgia could generate as much as $4.8 million, analysts are less certain that allowing them will bring in much new money because drinkers are likely simply to shift the days they

buy alcohol.

Georgia is one of only three states (Connecticut and Indiana are the others) that prohibit selling any kind of alcohol on Sunday. Although a thirsty patron could buy a drink at a restaurant or a ball game in some communities, stores cannot sell it.

The roots of the ban are religious, and the law was defended for years by Gov. Sonny Perdue, who vowed to veto any legislation that tried to change it. When Gov. Nathan Deal took office this year, lawmakers overrode opposition by religious groups and some rural legislators and wrote a law allowing local governments to put the question of Sunday sales to a vote.

On Nov. 8, nearly 100 Georgia cities and counties will hold referendums on the issue. For Atlanta, expanding liquor laws is about economic stimulation and modernity, said Kwanza Hall, a member of the City Council who is also trying to get the hours one can pour drinks extended to 4 a.m.

“It’s kind of neat to get with program down here,” he said.

In smaller communities like Snellville, a town of about 20,000 people in a stretch of busy suburbs outside of Atlanta, allowing Sunday sales should keep grocery stores from leaving for neighboring communities, supporters of the change say.

“We’re not doing it to raise taxes,” said Jerry Oberholtzer, the mayor. “We’re just doing it be competitive.”

Still, more sales will mean more revenue, and every little bit helps in a town that went from more that $1 million in revenue from development in 2003 to about $100,000 this year.

Plus, the mayor said, there’s simply the anachronistic nature of the law: “The younger generation just thinks it’s kind of dumb.”

Although opposition has traditionally been on religious grounds, people here who plan to fight the Sunday sales initiatives will argue that it’s an issue of local control and safety for smaller communities.

“God knows — and I say that reverently — you can’t prove anything with religion anymore,” said Jerry Luquire, president of the Georgia Christian Coalition. “So we’re saying please vote no to save a life. You can live without alcohol on Sunday, but you may not be able to live with it.”

In Tennessee, changes to the alcohol laws were intended as economic stimulus, but of a different sort. In an effort to attract a large out-of-state brewer and as a way to help local makers of craft-style beers, the state now allows high-alcohol beers like stouts and barley wines to be produced under certain circumstances.

The law also made it legal for microbreweries and stores that sell alcohol to offer samples. That’s good news for fans of Jack Daniel’s, who now can taste the state’s famous whiskey when they tour the plant, which is in a dry county.

Tennessee is the eighth state to pass legislation allowing liquor tastings since 2009.

The theory is that customers who sample new wines or a new cocktail are likely to buy more, said Bard Quillman, a former banker who a decade ago opened Red Dog Wine and Spirits near Nashville.

“If we are doing a mixed drink promotion, we are trying to sell the mixer as an addon,” he said. “Say that’s a $20 ring. At 9 percent, the state just picked up a couple bucks on top of whatever the customer was going to buy anyway.”

Redmond Historic Landmarks Commission chair Jack Nelson reaches through a broken window of what may be Redmond’s oldest building. The commission is trying to preserve the building.

House Continued from A1 “Where we’re at now is deciding if we want to retain it where it is or if we want to move it,” Nelson said. “If it stays it could serve as a space for a meeting center or a retail space in the Dry Canyon area.”

Preservation efforts Nelson has a fascination with old things. His house was built in 1910, and he said as mayor of Beaverton, from 1977 to 1985, he worked to save several buildings as the city boomed.

Nelson served as a Redmond city councilor from 2005 to 2008 and also sat on the Deschutes County Historic Landmarks Commission.

During his time with the countywide commission, Nelson said Bend received much of the body’s attention. He said a Redmond commission has the time to focus on the city’s unique needs, such as balancing historical preservation and development as the city works to improve its economic base with urban renewal efforts.

Hit-and-run Continued from A1 The lawuit is related to funeral expenses and loss of earning capacity, but does not specify a figure for noneconomic damages.

D’Amore said he opted against setting a dollar amount for noneconomic damages to avoid “sensationalizing” the suit, and will instead ask a jury to award whatever amount it believes is fair.

On the night of the crash, Martin was pushing his bicycle across Third Street just north of Revere Avenue, accompanied by a second man. He was struck in the southbound lanes and died at the scene.

Two days after the crash, Biedscheid contacted Bend Police through his attorney, and turned over his damaged 2008 GMC pickup.

Biedscheid pleaded not guilty to charges of criminally negligent homicide and failure to perform the duties of a driver last week, and is scheduled to go to trial in January.

Surveillance footage D’Amore said rumors suggesting Martin was dressed in dark clothing and could not be seen while crossing the street are unfounded. A still image taken from surveillance cameras at the Albertsons grocery store shows Martin wearing light-colored pants, and the man accompanying him wearing a light-colored baseball cap.

The civil complaint also details Martin’s extensive injuries, including skull fractures, broken bones in his right forearm and lower right leg, transection of the spinal cord and pulpification of the liver.

D’Amore said the severity of Martin’s injuries suggests he would have died regardless of whether Biedscheid had stopped after the collision.

“The humanitarian thing, and the law, requires that you stop, and that just wasn’t there,” D’Amore said.

Martin’s older sister, Terry Gibbs, of Madras, said despite her brother’s injuries, he looked good when a friend went to identify his body at a funeral home — only one small scratch on his face, the friend reported.

“From a practical point of view we want to see development occur downtown,” Nelson said.

“But we want to see the growth downtown done while keeping the historic value in place. The Redmond Hotel, for example, that’s a historic building, and we want to see it be a hotel and retain the nature of its history.”

Nelson isn’t the only member of the new board with government experience. Jane Schroeder also served as a city councilor, Jo Anne Sutherland is a former Redmond city manager and Phyllis Sturza served on the city’s planning commission. Richards said Mike Thompson served as a planning commissioner outside Central Oregon before moving to Redmond.

Richards said the new board marks a reboot of the city’s historical preservation efforts.

“Redmond’s historic preservation program has been dormant for many years,” she said. “And in Redmond there are a lot of significant landmarks. This commission can really start to raise awareness of that fact.”

Erik Hidle can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at ehidle@bendbulletin.com.

‘I always knew’ Around 2 a.m. on the night her brother was killed, Gibbs was awakened by a policeman who came to her home to deliver the news. She learned that night that the driver had not stopped, and a few days later learned that police had a possible suspect. But it was weeks until the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that Biedscheid was the target of the investigation, and nearly three months from the night of the crash until he was indicted.

Trying to get updates on the case was extremely frustrating, Gibbs said, recalling her repeated calls to Lt. Ben Gregory, head of the detectives division.

Although Gregory often had little new information, Gibbs said she was always confident police were making progress behind the scenes.

“They weren’t able to tell me a whole lot because it was under investigation, but he always gave me hope,” Gibbs said. “I always knew he was going to find him, find the driver.”

Martin’s death and the often slow pace of the criminal proceedings against Biedscheid have been particularly difficult on his two adult daughters, both of whom live in Minnesota, Gibbs said. And Martin’s girlfriend has been struggling to raise their nearly 2-year-old daughter alone, she said.

Gibbs said she’s hopeful Biedscheid’s trial and the civil suit against him will help the family begin putting Martin’s death behind them. She said Martin spent most holidays with her and her three sons in Madras.

“This Christmas, he’s going to be missed, that’s for sure,” Gibbs said.

D’Amore said he expects it could be a year until his case goes before a jury.

A call to Biedscheid’s office at Les Schwab corporate headquarters, where he is director of accounting, was not returned.

Staff for Stephen Houze, the attorney who is representing Biedscheid in his criminal trial, said Houze will not be representing Biedscheid in the civil case.

Violence in Afghanistan up nearly 40 percent this year

By Habib Zohori McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — Violence in Afghanistan is up nearly 40 percent over last year, a U.N. report released Wednesday found, contradicting claims by the U.S.-led coalition that security has improved since last year.

The U.N. report, information for which is compiled by the U.N. mission here and submitted to the Security Council quarterly, said that as of the end of August, there had been an average of 2,108 “security incidents” each month this year, a 39 percent increase compared with the comparable period in 2010.

The average number of suicide

attacks monthly, 12, remained unchanged, the report said, but more of those attacks were complex and coordinated, involving more than a lone bomber, the report said.

The monthly average of three such complex attacks this year is 50 percent higher than the number for the like period in 2010.

A report from the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in August painted a sharply different situation.

“Throughout 2011 ISAF has seen significant security improvements throughout Afghanistan and violence is down in 12 of the past 16 weeks as compared to the same period in 2010,” the coalition’s report said.

Jeld-Wen sells $460M in bonds The private Klamath Fallsbased company Jeld-Wen on Tuesday sold $460 million in secured bonds, Reuters reported Wednesday. Proceeds from the sale will allow JeldWen — which makes windows and doors — to refinance debts.

Toronto private-equity firm Onex Corp. has expressed intent to take a majority stake in Jeld-Wen. Standard & Poor’s rating service on Tuesday improved Jeld-Wen’s credit rating to B from B-, with a stable outlook.

“The rating and outlook incorporates our expectation that demand for Jeld-Wen’s window and door products … will continue to face difficulties over the next several quarters as housing and remodeling markets remain near cyclically low levels,” Thomas Nadramia, a Standard & Poor’s credit analyst, said in a report from the ratings company.

Jeld-Wen has 20,000 employees worldwide and more than 400 in Bend, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Advanced Energy Industries, which makes solar inverters in Bend, will cut its workforce and shift some manufacturing to China, the company announced Wednesday.

Most of the job cuts, however, will be made in Advanced Energy’s Thin Film business unit, which generally handles the company’s nonsolar products, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

and a news release.

“This will better position us to invest in strategic growth areas and remain at the forefront of the industry,” Garry Rogerson, Advanced Energy’s CEO since Aug. 4, said in a news release.

Bought PV Powered last year for $90.3M

The Fort Collins, Colo.-based company bought Bend-based PV Powered in May 2010 for about $90.3 million, and earlier this

year made Bend the headquarters for its renewables business unit.

Advanced Energy also makes inverters — the devices that convert the sun’s energy into usable electricity — in Fort Collins.

While the company would not say if any of the cuts would be made in Bend, it had not filed any notice required for mass layoffs or plant closings with the state of Oregon as of late Wednesday.

DETROIT — A new fouryear contract between General Motors and the United Auto Workers union will increase the company’s labor costs by only 1 percent annually and protect its strong balance sheet, GM executives told analysts Wednesday.

GM said the contract, ratified earlier Wednesday by the UAW, will have a minimal impact on profitability while allowing workers to share in the company’s success.

The workers covered by the contract will each receive bonuses of $5,000 this fall. They also will get $1,000 annual bonuses starting in 2013 and larger profit-sharing checks.

FRANKFURT, Germany — Europe took another step Wednesday toward approval of a broader bailout fund for overly indebted countries after Finland’s Parliament agreed to contribute its share despite an unresolved dispute over its demand for collateral from Greece.

The laborious approval process, which can be held up by objections from any one of the 17 countries in the eurozone, has highlighted deep flaws in the bloc’s decision-making. On Wednesday, the top stock market indexes in Europe fell after three consecutive sessions of gains.

Reebok to pay $25M over toning claims Those Reebok sneakers that promise “better legs and a better butt with every step” may be just like every other sneaker, federal regulators said Wednesday, and Reebok International is on the hook for $25 million in customer refunds for making false claims about its EasyTone line.

Despite agreeing to the settlement, Reebok, a unit of Adidas, said it did not concur with the agency’s conclusions.

Just wearing the sneakers, Reebok said, would tone and strengthen a customer’s legs 11 percent better than regular walking shoes and sculpt bottoms 28 percent better.

Customers who bought EasyTone shoes can fill out an application for a refund at the FTC’s website, at www.ftc.gov.

The proliferation of Hollywood content in the home reflects the ferocious battle across disparate companies that are all trying to do the same thing: capture eyeballs by offering on-demand shows.

In this race for consumer attention, retailers such as Wal-Mart are suddenly competing against Netflix, Apple and Google. Last week Facebook, the world’s most popular website, entered the fray. Amazon announced its new tablet Wednesday that will allow users to stream its vast catalog of videos.

All of these giants are trying to upend traditional cable companies that have long ruled living room entertainment.

WASHINGTON — Mortgage applications rose last week as near record-low borrowing costs boosted refinancing.

The Mortgage Bankers Association’s index increased 9.3 percent in the period ended Sept. 23 from the prior week, the Washington-based group reported Wednesday. The group’s refinancing gauge rose 11 percent, while its purchase index increased 2.6 percent.

Americans are taking advantage of the lower rates to reduce monthly payments as consumer confidence, employment and incomes stagnate.

Federal Reserve policy makers last week announced further measures to boost housing and the economy.

“Refinancing has picked up because of record-low rates,” said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. Even so, he said, “the housing market is stuck at the bottom.”

The average rate on a 30-year fixed loan fell to 4.24 percent from 4.29 percent. The rate reached 4.17 percent earlier this month, the lowest since data began in 1990. The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage climbed to 3.47 percent last week from 3.46 percent.

Applicants seeking to refinance a loan accounted for 79.7 percent of activity, up from 78.3 percent the prior week, the report showed.

Economists agree jobs plan will help prevent recession

By Timothy R. Homan Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan would help avoid a return to recession by maintaining growth and pushing down the unemployment rate next year, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

The legislation, submitted to Congress this month, would increase gross domestic product by 0.6 percent next year and add or keep 275,000 workers on payrolls, the median estimates in the survey of 34 economists showed. The program would also lower the jobless rate by 0.2 percentage point in 2012, economists said.

Economists in the survey are less optimistic than Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who has cited estimates for a 1.5 percent boost to gross domestic product. Even so, the program may bolster Obama’s re-election prospects by lowering a jobless rate that has stayed near 9 percent or more since April 2009.

The plan “prevents a contraction of the economy in the first quarter” of next year, said John Herrmann, a senior fixed-income strategist at State Street Global Markets in Boston, who participated in the survey. “It leads to more retention of workers than net new hires.”

Some 13,000 jobs would be created in 2013, bringing the total to 288,000 over two years, according to the survey.

Employers added 1.26 million workers in the past 12 months, Labor Department data show.

Obama’s plan, announced on Sept. 8, calls for cutting the payroll taxes paid by workers and small businesses while extending unemployment insurance. It also includes an increase in infrastructure spending and more aid for cashstrapped state governments.

Prevents serious drag on economy “The important thing to consider is: What happens if we don’t do anything?” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James & Associates Inc. in St. Petersburg, Fla. He said the program “very well could” forestall a recession in early 2012.

“Most of all, it prevents a serious drag on the economy next year” from current programs expiring, said Brown, who estimates the Obama plan would add 0.5 percent to GDP in 2012.

A reduction in government spending, the end of the payroll-tax holiday and an expiration of extended unemployment benefits would

cut GDP by 1.7 percent in 2012, according to JPMorgan Chase chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli in New York. Instead, the Obama proposal makes up for that potential loss and may add a net 0.1 percent to the economy, he estimates.

Tax cuts account for more than half the dollar value of the Obama plan, which also includes $105 billion in spending for school modernization, transportation projects and rehabilitation of vacant properties, according to a White House fact sheet. The proposal includes $35 billion in direct aid to state and local governments to stem dismissals of educators and emergency personnel.

Not a ‘game-changer’ “Some of this is just extending support that was already in place,” said Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas in New York. “The actual jobs programs themselves, I don’t think that they’re a game-changer.”

She estimates the proposal will add 200,000 new workers, while retaining about 300,000 jobs that might otherwise be lost.

While the White House hasn’t given an estimate of how the proposal would affect GDP, Geithner cited the plan Sept. 24 in an address at the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund. Without additional nearterm support, “fiscal policy in the U.S. will be overly contractionary and the U.S. economy will likely grow below its potential in 2012,” Geithner said.

He said private economists estimate the proposal could increase real economic growth next year by around “one and a half percentage points and create more than 1 million jobs at a critical moment in the recovery.”

In the Bloomberg survey, Goldman Sachs estimated the plan would add 1.5 percent to the economy, while Macroeconomic Advisers said 1.3 percent and UniCredit Research, up to 2 percent.

The economy faces “significant downside risks,” the Federal Reserve said in a statement on Sept. 21 as it announced a plan to shift $400 billion of its Treasury securities holdings into longerterm debt to bring down borrowing costs.

The world’s largest economy grew 3 percent last year before slowing to a 0.4 percent annual pace in the first three months of 2011, followed by 1 percent in the second quarter, according to Commerce Department figures.

The economy will expand 2.2 percent next year, according to a separate Bloomberg survey of economists conducted Sept. 2 to Sept. 7. The same survey said the unemployment rate would average 8.8 percent in 2012.

OBAMA’S TAX PLAN

For wealthy, increases easy to offset

By Ron Lieber New York Times News Service

If you’re among the households with earnings of $200,000 to $350,000 or so, you can be forgiven at this point for thinking that you have a giant target on your back.

This week, President Barack Obama once again took aim at what he calls “tax preferences” for these high-income households, proposing two changes that would affect the low-six-figure set starting in 2013.

First, he would let former President George W. Bush’s tax cuts expire for higher-income households. Second, he would limit the rate at which high-income taxpayers — married people with more than $250,000 in household income filing a joint return and singles with more than $200,000 — can reduce their tax liability to a maximum of 28 percent. This limit would apply to all itemized deductions, among other things, if Obama gets his way, which would have the effect of causing many people to pay more in taxes.

Forget for a moment that Obama will almost certainly not get his way, given that even bills to help American victims of natural disasters don’t get a rubber stamp in Congress anymore.

And let’s save for another day the debate over whether people with incomes like this deserve any sympathy.

What gets lost in all of the hand-wringing over the proposed tax increases is that many of the people this is aimed at wouldn’t pay a whole lot more.

And families who work at it just a bit, using employer-sponsored flexible spending and other accounts to pay for things like day camp and the commuter train and visits to the therapist, could offset that 2013 tax increase and then some.

How could it be that this supposed tax increase won’t amount to much for many people?

Thank the alternative minimum tax. Hey, at least it’s good for something.

Consider this hypothetical family and the numbers that would end up on their tax worksheets, as calculated by Joan Trimble, a tax partner at Berdon LLP, an accounting and advisory firm in New York City.

The family includes a married, heterosexual couple earning $350,000 combined annually that received no raises from 2011 to 2013, lives in the suburbs of New York City and has two children. They pay $20,000 in real estate taxes each year and $24,000 in annual interest toward their mortgage, make a total of $30,000 in 401(k) contributions and give away $9,000 in charitable contributions in all three years.

Let’s assume that the annual AMT patch continues to occur each year — the patch adjusts the calculation that accounts for inflation to avoid ensnaring even larger numbers of taxpayers.

(That assumption is a pretty safe one, though who would have predicted that you could elect to pay no estate taxes in 2010?) With the patch, this couple will pay tax at the AMT rate in 2011 and 2012.

Their total federal taxes in each of those years will be $65,604.

Students listen as President Barack Obama delivers his third annual back-to-school speech at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Six-figure households should have no problem offsetting the tax increases expected to result from Obama’s tax plan.

The hit isn’t all that bad. And you can make it go away entirely and then some by finally signing up for ... those flexible spending and other accounts for health and dependent care plus public transportation or parking.

If the Bush tax cuts expire in 2013, they’ll no longer be paying the AMT rate. But their income taxes will only be $66,981, just $1,377 more than 2012.

That number does not take into account the president’s proposed 28 percent deduction limit.

Trimble said that there was a lot of debate in tax circles about precisely how it would work in practice.

But if the proposal simply means that you calculate taxable income for 2013 and then pay 28 percent of it, you get $69,633, or just $4,029 more than the family would have paid in 2011 and 2012. (Also, $900 of that increase in 2013 isn’t even attributable to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts or the 28 percent cap; it comes from the recent increase in taxes on higher-net-worth households to pay for Medicare, which goes into effect in 2013.)

Make it go away So the hit isn’t all that bad.

And you can make it go away entirely and then some by finally signing up for (and maxing out your set-asides in) those flexible spending and other accounts for health and dependent care plus public transportation or parking. With these accounts, your employer makes it possible to put aside money before it takes out income taxes (or to make a deposit in a way that qualifies you for a deduction).

Let’s say our hypothetical family was like, oh, a lot of you.

This family couldn’t be bothered chasing what seemed like pocket change each month, filling out flexible spending account forms, carrying around debit cards, putting in for reimbursement or worrying about money in the health care account expiring at the end

of each year.

In the world of health care flexible spending accounts, for instance, just 23 percent of people who have access to the accounts at employers with more than 500 workers actually sign up, according to Mercer’s 2010 national survey of employer-sponsored health plans.

But come 2013 and the tax increases, the family maximizes all available employee benefits.

So they put a total of $5,000, the maximum, in a dependent care account to pay for day camp for the two children. They also set aside a total of $2,500 from their paychecks for the health care costs that insurance doesn’t cover.

Since they both use public transportation to get to jobs in the city, they each ask their employers to remove $230 per month (which is the current monthly limit) and load it onto a debit card that they can use to pay for train tickets.

Also, one of them has a health insurance plan at work with a high enough deductible that the family is eligible for a health savings account and the deduction that comes with it, so they put in the maximum household amount for 2011, $6,150.

The result of all this maneuvering would be $5,800 less in taxes owed for 2013 than what they would have otherwise paid. That more than makes up for what would have been a $4,029 increase from 2011 to 2013 had they never gotten around to signing up for all of these tax benefits.

There are a few caveats to keep in mind here. Your employer needs to offer the plans in the first place for you to take advantage of them. Big companies tend to offer most of them, but smaller ones may not offer any.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that among individ-

ual civilian workers who took home more than $81,806 in 2010 (which would put them in the 90th percentile of earnings), 22 percent had access to a health savings account, 64 percent had access to a health care flexible spending account and 61 percent could participate in a dependent care account. If your employer doesn’t offer all of these benefits, get your fellow workers together and lobby hard for adding the plans.

McClatchy -Tribune News Service

RALEIGH, N.C. — In the wake of studies that found that tax returns filed by paid preparers can be riddled with mistakes, the Internal Revenue Service is clamping down on the industry.

Up to now, paid tax preparers in the vast majority of states were free to hold themselves out as experts without any training whatsoever. Nor did they have to prove any minimum level of competency.

“The person who cuts your hair generally has to have a license where he or she operates and has to undergo basic testing and qualification procedures before doing so,” said David Williams, director of the IRS’s return preparer office. “How is it that the individual who has access to per-

haps your most significant set of financial transactions during the course of any given year has no requirements for competency or oversight at all?”

Competency tests Hence the changes. First up, beginning next month, the IRS is rolling out competency tests for hundreds of thousands of tax preparers nationwide. Next year, continuing education requirements — 15 hours worth per year — kick in.

Industry executives are divided over whether the cost of complying with the new requirements will trigger price increases for consumers. But the de rigueur complaints about excessive regulation are noticeably absent in this instance.

“The industry has been very unregulated in the past,” said Brandon Britt, who owns four Liberty Tax Service franchises in Johnston County, N.C. “I think a certain amount of regulation is good.”

“It’s been clear to me that some reform has been needed in the form of better policing,” said Lacy Tinnen, owner of eight Jackson Hewitt franchises in North Carolina.

90% in favor A six-month IRS review of the tax preparation industry found “near unanimity” among the public and industry officials that more industry oversight was needed, said Williams. The resulting report found that 90 percent of those who comment-

The number of borrowers defaulting on federal student loans continues to rise. But even during the long and painful economic recovery, many of these defaults likely are unnecessary.

The federal government has long offered leniency for borrowers in financial hardship.

But two years ago it added an income-based repayment plan that caps monthly payments based on a borrower’s income and family size.

If a borrower earns little or nothing, the monthly payment would be zero.

Yes, zero.

And after 25 years, any remaining balance is forgiven.

It’s impossible to find such a generous break from any private lender.

“Given income-based repayment there really is no reason why anybody should default on their loans,” said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, a website that provides student aid information.

Still, he added, “a lot of students who could benefit from it, aren’t aware of it. They default rather than calling their lender before they default to investigate their options.”

Kantrowitz estimates that

less than 2 percent of borrowers repaying loans are using the income-based repayment method, although as many as 10 percent would qualify.

Even the Department of Education, which released the latest default rates last week, noted that it plans to increase its outreach to make sure borrowers are aware of this repayment option.

Anything is better than defaulting.

Borrowers are in default on federal loans if they don’t make a payment for almost a year. After that, the government has many tools, including garnishing wages and withholding tax refunds, to recoup taxpayers’ money. And the government rarely lets up on its pursuit.

The Education Department reported earlier this month that 8.8 percent of student loan borrowers — more than 320,000 — had defaulted within the first two years of repayment for the period ended in fall 2010. That’s up from 7 percent for the two-year snapshot that ended in fall 2009.

You generally will qualify for income-based repayments if your debt is high in relation to your income.

Monthly payments won’t exceed 15 percent of discretionary income, which is based on a formula tied to the poverty rate. If your income is skimpy enough, you might pay little or nothing.

Rules may change Then there is the possibility that the rules for these tax deals might themselves change.

The contribution limit for flexible spending accounts will be $2,500 in 2013, lower than it has been in the past. If you think more pain is coming in this area, then start maxing out these accounts in 2012 and not 2013.

Also retirees with high incomes who lack these employer accounts probably wouldn’t be able to offset the tax increase in 2013 and could be hurt further by the president’s proposed tax changes, depending on what sort of investment income they have and how it ends up being taxed.

In the meantime, try to look at the bright side. The president’s plan could still let you deduct the mortgage interest on your lakeside second home, within reason.

Your contribution to Harvard’s $32 billion endowment will still be tax-deductible. Same thing for, say, a fancy church or synagogue in all of the bucolic suburban hamlets in the land. While you’re at it, don’t forget to thank the tax gods for 20 years of taxfree earnings in 529 college savings accounts, no matter how rich you already are.

And if all you’d have to do to reduce your 2013 tax bill is set up accounts to reimburse yourself for things that you’re spending money on anyway? Well, anyone who even remotely resembles our hypothetical couple and complains about these few extra steps doesn’t know what real tax pain actually feels like.

IRS to test competency of paid tax preparers

By David Ranii

Income-based repayment offers student-loan relief

ed were in favor of minimum education or testing requirements.

The tax preparer industry sees the IRS actions as a way of improving overall competency and leveling the playing field, when it comes to training costs, in an intensely competitive industry.

In recent years, chains such as Liberty and Jackson Hewitt have instituted in-house testing programs to make sure their preparers are up to snuff.

Baruch Valenzuela, director of sales at the Oregon-based Pacific Northwest Tax School, said he has heard of tax preparers planning to exit the business to avoid taking the test. The Tax School offers an online prep course for the IRS tests and also is teaming up with universities around the country to provide training.

Newest Kindle Amazon’s new Kindle Fire will cost only $199 and is poised to compete with other tablets during this year’s holiday season.

Continued from B1 “It will appeal to a different set of customers who are magazine readers and cinema fans,” Bezos said.

The other advantage Bezos is counting on is price: The Fire will sell for $199, while the cheapest iPad sells for $499. Amazon began taking orders for the Fire on its website Wednesday; it will start shipping them Nov. 15.

Bezos took the stage Wednesday at a news conference in New York to show off the Kindle Fire.

The tablet, which weighs less than a pound and can fit comfortably in the palm of a hand, builds on the company’s popular line of e-readers.

Amazon is hoping it appeals to a broader audience that also wants to browse the Web and stream music, movies and video from a mobile device. The Kindle Fire also has access to a virtual newsstand that includes content from magazines like Wired, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan.

Amazon custom-built the Fire’s mobile Web browser, called Amazon Silk, so that it loads mediarich Web pages faster by shifting some of the work onto Amazon’s cloud computing engine, called EC2.

“It’s truly a technical achievement,” Bezos said.

The Kindle Fire’s 8 gigabytes of memory is capable of storing 80 apps and either 10 movies, 800 songs or 6,000 books. The tablet also includes a free cloudbased storage system, meaning that no syncing with cables is necessary.

The Kindle Fire is missing some things the iPad 2 has — most notably, a camera and a microphone for video calls. The Fire can send and receive data only over Wi-Fi, not cellular networks.

The device’s price tag is less than half that of many tablet computers on the market, includ-

Wi-Fi only 8 GB Free cloud storage available for additional room

Finland Continued from B1 Although Finland can now be checked off the list, the next holdout may prove to be Slovakia, where there was talk that a vote on the bailout fund might be delayed until late October, past

ing the HTC Flyer, which also features a 7-inch screen but sells for $499 at Best Buy. The Kindle Fire will also compete with the Color Nook e-reader, developed

by Barnes & Noble, which has enjoyed healthy sales at $249.

Amazon can afford to charge less because it hopes to make up the difference by selling books, movies and popular television shows. Customers may also be more inclined to pay $79 a year for Amazon Prime, which gives them access to Amazon’s movie streaming service and free shipping, which in turn, encourages more shopping at Amazon.com.

Bezos is confident in the company’s strategy.

“Some of the tablets that have come on the market, the reason they haven’t been successful is because they weren’t services,” he said. “They were just tablets.”

On Wednesday, Bezos also introduced two new touch-screen

Kindles, and a slimmer monochrome-screen Kindle, that range in price from $79 to $149.

Owners will have access only to Android apps approved by Amazon and distributed through its Amazon Android Store. Even the Fire’s software, based on a Google Android framework, is disguised under a custom layer built by Amazon.

With the Fire, every dollar Amazon loses on the device could be more than made up for by the data gained. The Silk browser, by virtue of being situated in the cloud, will record every Web page that users visit. That has implications for privacy and commerce.

“Amazon now has what every storefront lusts for: the knowledge of what other stores your customers are shopping in and what prices they’re being offered there,” Chris Espinosa, an Apple engineer, wrote on his personal blog.

the unofficial deadline of midmonth. Many Slovakians resent having to help bail out Greece, which, despite its problems, is wealthier.

Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, warned Wednesday that countries in the eurozone must move toward greater unity for

the alliance to survive.

In an initial effort to impose more spending discipline on eurozone members and to prevent future crises, members of the European Parliament voted Wednesday in favor of rules that would impose fines on countries that broke budget and deficit rules.

ple are watching more online, too. The average Internet user soaked up 18 hours of videos last month, an all-time high, according to the survey firm ComScore.

“Television is now viewed over more devices than ever, and viewers are in control over what they watch more than ever,” said Genevieve Bell, an anthropologist at chipmaker Intel who explores how humans relate to technology. “What’s been remarkable is the extraordinary power of television, because at the heart of this is that people just want a good story.”

Members of the Spring family, in High Point, N.C., said the multitude of options for watching videos puts an end to fights over the remote control.

“It’s not like we’re separated.

We’re still in the same house,” Natalie said.

But Caroline Knorr, an editor for Common Sense Media, a group that advocates for child safety in dealing with media, says what can get lost in the new media world is closer interaction within the family.

“You’ve got to choose some shows to watch together,” Knorr said. “Sometimes a show will spark discussions about feelings and issues that can be really important for the whole family.”

Continued from B1 “Traditional TV has long dominated this space, but now you are seeing remarkable levels of online consumption through so many Internet-connected devices in the living room,” said Greg Ireland, a research manager for IDC, a provider of market intelligence and advisory services. “Media and tech industries are clearly looking forward.”

The race has intensified partly because the appetite for new electronics, even in difficult economic times, has shown few signs of waning.

The typical home of 2.6 people has an average of 24 gadgets — including at least one smartphone — double the number 15 years ago, according to the Consumer Electronics Association, a trade group. Compared with flat-screen TVs, many of those devices are cheap and are getting cheaper. The average household will spend $1,179 on consumer electronics this year, compared with $1,500 in 2005.

With more laptops, video game consoles and tablets has come more viewing. Even as the typical household is watching 22 more minutes of television than it did a year ago, peo-

PV Powered Continued from B1 The company has about 120 employees in Bend, according to Economic Development for Central Oregon’s 2011 regional profile, and as of June 30, employed nearly 1,800 total at 17 sites worldwide, according to company documents. Six of the sites have manufacturing operations.

From the job cuts, the company expects to see annual savings of about $6 million, according to its news release. But it also will likely take a charge in the third quarter of $2.5 million to $3.5 million and predicts third-

quarter earnings will be below expectations.

As part of the restructuring, Advanced Energy will also shift manufacturing of solar inverter subcomponents to its factory in Shenzhen, China, according to the filings.

The restructuring will continue over 12 to 18 months, according to the news release, and involve possibly closing some facilities and relocating some functions.

Advanced Energy anticipates additional charges of $8 million to $12 million, mostly from consolidating operations, and an additional $1 million in severance costs. The changes

Continued from B1 Home sales remain in the doldrums. Purchases of new houses fell in August to a six month low, figures from the Commerce Department showed this week. Purchases of previously owned homes rose to a five-month high, boosted by demand of lowpriced, distressed houses, the National Association of Realtors said Sept. 21.

Nonetheless, sales of existing properties have averaged a 4.97 million annual pace this year, compared with the 7.25 million peak reached in September 2005.

More distressed properties may soon come on the market, adding to pressure on prices. Default notices sent to delinquent homeowners surged 33 percent in August from the previous month, a sign that lenders are speeding up the foreclosure process after almost a year of delays, RealtyTrac Inc. said Sept. 15.

In a move aimed at lowering borrowing costs, the Fed said it will buy $400 billion of bonds with maturities of six to 30 years through June, while selling an equal amount of debt maturing in three years.

ultimately could bring annual savings of $16 million to $20 million, according to the news release.

The news had little effect on the company’s stock price Wednesday. Advanced Energy closed at $9.13 per share, down 6 cents from Tuesday’s close, according to figures from Nasdaq.

Over the last year, Advanced Energy’s stock price reached a high of $16.83 per share on March 4 and hit its lowest price, $8.65 per share, on Aug. 8.

Merrill Lynch leader assures brokers

Sarkozy reveals plan to tackle French deficit

POLITICS AND BUSINESS

By David Jolly New York Times News Service

By Hugh Son Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — Bank of America’s David Darnell, the commercial banker put in charge of the lender’s Merrill Lynch brokerage, promised employees he’ll do anything including “get out of the way” to help them improve results.

Darnell, 58, addressed the Charlotte, N.C.-based lender’s 16,241 financial advisers on Sept.

13 for the first time since being named co-chief operating officer.

His message: leaders including John Thiel, head of U.S. wealth management and Andrew Sieg, head of global wealth and retirement solutions, will be running the show.

“My job is to do everything I can to help and if not, I’m going to get out of the way,” Darnell told a standing-room-only, town hallstyle meeting at One Bryant Park in New York, according to an account obtained by Bloomberg. Existing managers are “who’s going to run this business, and I want to be very clear about that.”

Darnell must reassure members of the world’s most profitable brokerage — known as the “Thundering Herd” because of Merrill’s bull logo — that they’ll be unscathed by the latest management shuffle.

Ever since Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch in 2009, the firm has faced speculation that top-performing brokers would leave amid concern that their new parent would erode Merrill’s culture and pay.

The firm’s advisers saw John Thain, Merrill’s chief executive officer, ousted within weeks of the takeover. Earlier this month, Sallie Krawcheck, head of the division that included the brokerage, was forced out as CEO Brian Moynihan shook up management. Darnell was named to run the bank’s operations along with Thomas Montag, 54, who oversees trading, investment banking and corporate banking.

Darnell, the former president of commercial lending who started at a predecessor to Bank of America more than three decades ago, is now responsible for operations including deposits, credit cards, mortgages and wealth management, which includes the brokerage. He professed respect for Merrill’s brokers during the New York meeting and said he wouldn’t change their compensation or brand, which “is going to be strong forever,” he said.

Susan Thomson, a Bank of America spokeswoman, confirmed Darnell had made the remarks and said she couldn’t comment.

‘Steady the ship’ “His objective right now is simply to steady the ship,” said Tim White, a partner at Dallasbased executive recruitment firm Kaye/Bassman International Corp. Darnell is addressing advisers’ concerns that he’ll run the business “to the lowest common denominator. But there will be changes because they need to cut costs. If Bank of America could sell investment advice through an ATM machine, they’d do it.”

Advisers will be in charge of offering bank products to clients when needed, Darnell said. Brokers, who depend on commissions and fees, had complained that the lender pushed them to hawk credit cards, mortgages and other bank products as part of a companywide “cross-selling” strategy, according to two Merrill Lynch brokers who asked for anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

The guiding principle for crosssales will be customer demand, “where you’re there to take care of a client and whatever that client needs,” Darnell said. “It’s your decision based on your client’s need.”

Darnell’s comments mirrored the sentiment of his predecessor’s opening remarks to the brokerage two years ago. Krawcheck, 46, reassured advisers that she wouldn’t turn Merrill “into a place I’ve been before” after she joined Bank of America from Citigroup Inc. in August 2009.

An employee paints a guitar in the paint shop at the Gibson USA solid-body guitar factory in Nashville, Tenn., on Sept. 22. Last month, armed federal agents swooped into Gibson’s corporate offices and Nashville factory in search of contraband ebony and rosewood they suspected was illegally imported from India.

Raid on guitar factory fuels ire over regulation

PARIS — The French government introduced a tight budget plan on Wednesday that seeks to pare the deficit next year.

The plan, which would continue a freeze on new spending for a second year in 2012, would scale back the deficit to 4.5 percent of gross domestic product next year, from about 5.7 percent this year. It projects a decrease to 3 percent of GDP in 2013, 2 percent in 2014 and 1 percent in 2015, the government said.

That should reduce the debt from 87.4 percent of GDP next year to 87.3 percent in 2013, it said, still well above the European Union limit of 60 percent.

“Reducing the public debt is a priority,” President Nicholas Sarkozy’s office said after the cabinet approved the budget proposal. “It starts with cutting the public deficit. This budget confirms the inviolable nature of the mediumterm trajectory to restore balanced budgets.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two dozen federal agents outfitted with side arms and bulletproof vests strode past a display of electric guitars signed by Joan Jett and Slash of Guns ‘N’ Roses and quickly seized control of this cavernous guitar factory.

Some workers were caught sanding guitar bodies. Others held newly painted guitars between their bellies and clothcovered wax wheels, gently swaying and pushing as they buffed the instrument in some kind of tuneless dance.

Turn off your machines and go home, they were ordered.

Some set down their future Les Paul and Joe Perry signature guitars and obeyed.

This was a raid on Gibson Guitar.

The feds were after contraband in Gibson’s Tennessee factories that day — ebony and rosewood they suspected was illegally imported from India. But their actions against the company whose guitars have been strummed

by B.B. King, Bob Dylan and John Lennon netted some unanticipated results: infamy on talk radio and from commentators on the right.

Weeks later, the raid has generated publicity worthy of a rock concert. Groups like the tea party and the GOP, and VIPs like House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Rush Limbaugh have grabbed ahold of it as an extreme example of how government regulations are strangling American enterprise.

Republicans see the seizure of 10,000 fingerboards, 700 guitar necks and 80 guitars as an easy-to-grasp anecdote that helps illustrate their campaign to shrink federal government, roll back environmental regulations and reduce funding for the Environmental Protection Agency.

Others, including a bipartisan assortment of environmentalists, a few guitar companies and a former official in George W. Bush’s Agriculture Department, say the reactions to the raids have unfairly politicized an effective law. Illegally harvested wood from developing countries is undercutting the American forest products industry, they say, and causing massive deforestation abroad.

No charges have yet been

Election year

Gibson Chief Executive Henry Juszkiewicz holds a Gibson guitar outside of his office at the Gibson Guitar corporate offices in Nashville, Tenn. filed, and the Justice Department and the Fish and Wildlife service declined to comment.

Gibson co-owner and Chief Executive Henry Juszkiewicz, slender and soft-spoken in his blue-striped shirt and cuff links that looked like eighth notes, accused the federal government of “bullying and harassing” his company in a corporate video.

Juszkiewicz has suddenly become a popular broadcast voice and sought-after speaker among conservatives.

“Gibson is a well-respected American company that employs thousands of people,” Boehner said in a Sept. 16 speech. “The company’s costs as a result of the raid? An estimated $2 (million) to $3 million. Why? Because Gibson bought wood overseas to make guitars in America.

Seriously.”

640 guitars a day The political attention focused on Gibson contrasts with the modest profile it has long kept in Nashville, its blocky buildings tucked into industrial parks. Inside the electric guitar factory, about 500 men and women in long rubber aprons and safety glasses work amid the sweet smell of wax and freshly cut wood in the din of machinery, making 640 guitars a day, many paid for in advance.

Federal agents were targeting wood that may have been illegally imported under the Lacey Act. First passed in 1900 to curtail contraband trade in wildlife, the act was amended in 2008, with broad bipartisan and Bush administration support, to ban illegally logged wood products.

Many in the domestic forest products industry supported it,

because studies showed that illegally harvested wood from developing countries was cheaper, undercutting American companies. Environmentalists pushed for the act to stave off deforestation abroad. Since its passage, studies have shown a reduction in illegal logging worldwide.

The act defines illegal logging as activity that breaks American law or the laws of the country where the wood is grown. In Gibson’s case, the government asserts that the company repeatedly imported rosewood and ebony from India that, under Indian law, cannot be exported in its unfinished, sawn state. The pieces in question are wooden slats about 20 inches long, 3 inches wide and close to a halfinch thick.

A group of environmentalists, some in the domestic forest industry, even a few guitar companies, are pushing back against the recent politicization of the Lacey Act. In a recent blog post, Bob Taylor, president of Taylor Guitars, wrote, “The cost isn’t so much for us. It’s not an unbearable added burden.”

“If there is excess in this particular case, then look at this case,” said Mark Rey, former undersecretary for natural resources and the environment at the Bush Agriculture Department, which backed the Lacey Act. “But to say that the Lacey Act is an example of an extreme, unworkable regulatory framework is flatly preposterous.”

Sarkozy is trying to shrink the budget — after debt and pension payments — for the first time since 1945. With the French economy stagnating and members of his inner circle caught up in various scandals, he could face a strong challenge from the Socialists in the spring 2012 presidential election.

The left gained control of the Senate on Sunday for the first time in decades, meaning the budget could be in for a frosty reception in that body, though the lower house, controlled by the government, has the decisive vote.

The shock of the United States losing its AAA rating from Standard & Poor’s this summer and the sell-off of French banking shares that

“Reducing the public debt is a priority. It starts with cutting the public deficit.

This budget confirms the inviolable nature of the medium-term trajectory to restore balanced budgets.”

— Statement from French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s office

has accompanied the intensification of stress on the eurozone have focused attention on French national finances, despite assurances from the main credit ratings agencies that France’s AAA rating remains stable for now.

The government in August said it would seek 10 billion euros, or $13.6 billion, more in revenue next year, and cut spending by an additional 1 billion euros. Sarkozy is raising corporate taxes, imposing a surtax on annual incomes of 500,000 euros or more, and increasing taxes on soft drinks, liquor and cigarettes.

The government said it would also continue its policy of hiring only one new civil servant for every two who retire.

Plan relies on growth The task of improving the public accounts is made all the more difficult by the possibility that the crisis in the eurozone will bring a recession. The plan announced Wednesday assumes 2012 economic growth of 1.75 percent, the level to which the government had revised down this year’s outlook, but the French economy was essentially at a standstill in the second quarter.

Still, France has some advantages, the statement noted, including relatively low household debt and high savings rates.

EU proposes transaction tax in face of financial crisis

By Rebecca Christie Bloomberg News

BRUSSELS — The European Union Wednesday proposed a financial-transactions tax that would take effect in 2014 and raise about $78 billion a year.

The plan would set minimum tax rates for financial transactions throughout the 27-nation EU, the European Commission, the bloc’s Brussels-based executive, said in a statement. Wednesday’s proposal would apply a tax of 0.1 percent on trading of stocks and bonds, with a 0.01 percent rate for derivatives contracts.

European governments are split over the merits of a transactions tax, with the British Treasury saying that such a levy would need to apply globally and “there are a number of practical issues that need to be worked through.” EU tax proposals require unanimous support of the bloc’s 27 members.

The tax is aimed at banks,

investment firms, insurance companies, pension funds, stockbrokers and hedge funds, among other types of financial firms, the EU said. Spot foreign-exchange trades would not be covered by the tax, while currency derivative contracts are included.

The EU is seeking to insulate households and small businesses from the levy, and says banks could charge “not excessive” fees such as a 10-euro ($13.63) fee on a 10,000-euro ($13,631) stock purchase.

The tax would “ensure that the financial sector makes a fair contribution at a time of fiscal consolidation,” the commission said.

EU member states will discuss the proposal before the commission presents the plan to the Group of 20 nations in November.

Woman arrested after 2-car crash

Fire fear stokes ‘no’ vote on wilderness proposal

A Redmond woman was arrested and a Bend woman was cited following a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 97, Oregon State Police said.

Kalie Gibson, 32, of Bend, was going north in a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero at around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

A trooper spotted her car, which was going 79 mph in a 55 mph zone. When the trooper tried to pull her over, Gibson ran into the back of a Ford pickup driven by Shelly Anne Brooker, 49, of Redmond.

Gibson’s car came to rest in the right northbound lane and caught fire. Gibson escaped uninjured, and troopers were able to extinguish the fire.

Brooker’s truck rolled onto the driver’s side, coming to a rest in the center and southbound lane. Brooker was trapped but uninjured. Troopers helped her exit the vehicle through its sunroof.

Gibson was cited for careless driving after an investigation indicated she leaned over to place something on the passenger-side floor at the time of the crash.

Brooker was arrested for a probation violation and was cited for driving with a revoked license.

The 1,400-acre Alder Springs Fire, as seen from Shad Road, burns Saturday near Crooked River Ranch. Concerns about how such fires would be fought if public land next to the subdivision becomes a wilderness area are spurring opposition to the proposal.

Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone has proposed a moratorium on fees that pay for the impact of new development on the county’s road system.

DeBone said Wednesday that suspending the fees could be a way to promote economic development. DeBone got the idea when two residents complained about the fees.

One man questioned why the county is charging development fees for him to move his house from the Redmond area to Terrebonne, DeBone said. The second complaint came from a man who just finished building a new house.

“The guy that built the house said, ‘I just spent a quarter-million dollars building this house, and it was my own savings and economic development, and I found out I can’t get my certificate of occupancy until I get this $3,000 thing,’” DeBone said.

The development fees generated $292,000 for county roads in the budget year that ended in June.

DeBone said he would prefer to cut roadwork by this amount rather than taking money from somewhere else in the budget or raising new revenue.

The county can only use the development fees, known as system development charges, to expand the road system to deal with population growth. These funds cannot be used to maintain existing roads.

The county is already struggling to keep its roads in shape.

fter a poll of Crooked River Ranch’s residents showed a lack of support for a possible wilderness area next door, the subdivision’s leadership is voicing its opposition.

“Our concern is that we cannot be certain that we would have the (fire) protection we have now,” said Ben Johnson, president of the Crooked River Ranch Club and Maintenance Association’s board of directors.

The nine-member board voted unanimously this month to oppose the Whychus-Deschutes Wilderness Area proposal, which would be adjacent to the 2,500-home subdivision north of Bend between the Deschutes and Crooked Rivers. Johnson said the board is drafting a letter voicing its opposition to the proposal.

“We are sending it to the county, to our state representatives, to our congressional representatives and to all of the surrounding mayors,” Johnson said.

The board’s opposition comes as a surprise to Gena Goodman-Campbell, Central Oregon coordinator for the Oregon Natural Desert Association, the group proposing the 18,900-acre wilderness centered on the confluence of Whychus Creek and the Deschutes River. She said the nonprofit group has been in the process of changing the proposal since hearing concerns about fire protection from Crooked River Ranch Fire Chief Tim McLaren in August.

DeBone proposes a hold on SDCs Commissioner says suspending fees could foster economic growth

A house fire that caused $60,000 in damage in Bend on Monday is believed to have been a human-caused accident, the Bend Fire Department said.

The fire, which broke out at a residence on Ellie Lane, originated outside on the backyard deck.

Fire department officials were able to extinguish the flames, but not before it caused significant smoke damage to the interior of the house. The fire also damaged the neighboring fence and composite deck.

Fire department officials are not saying how the fire was started other than it was accidental.

Users of the Amazon Kindle e-reader may now download Kindle-formatted e-books from the Deschutes Public Library system.

On Sept. 21, the online retail giant allowed libraries across the country to distribute such material, giving Central Oregon Kindle users access to the same e-book collection that users of other e-readers have enjoyed, said Wylie Ackerman, e-services manager for the Deschutes Public Library system. Prior to this change, library users could not use their Kindles to read e-books in the library district’s collections.

Digital downloads account for only 2 percent of the district’s total checkouts, according to Ackerman, but they are “the fastest growing format we have.” Over the past year, the district’s digital downloads have doubled. Furthermore, says Ackerman, a significant percentage of those who use e-readers have Kindles.

Amazon’s decision means there is “one less restriction on using digital downloads,” said Ackerman. “E-books are now compatible with almost every device on the market.”

In addition to checking out e-books from the library, Ackerman said Kindle users can manage their checkouts from their Amazon accounts on the company’s website. Managing accounts in this manner will allow library users to transfer library e-books to their Kindle devices, delete library e-books from their devices or return e-books early.

SALEM — Next year’s general election is more than a year away but one local state representative already has a challenger.

Nathan Hovekamp, of Bend, announced Wednesday he has filed to run against Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend.

“I gave a lot of thought into whether to run at this time and spoke with a lot of friends and individuals,” Hovekamp said.

The 45-year-old biologist is a registered Democrat who has lived in Bend since 1997. He said his love for the community and city is driving his desire to represent it at the state level.

“I have a good perspective of where we are now and where we can and should be headed in the future,” he said.

If elected, he said, he would help steer Bend to have a greater higher education presence, a diversified economy and sensible rather than “greed-fueled ugly sprawl” development.

“And my No. 1 focus,” he said, “will be on working people and families. I think we need to put an end to demonizing public employees that are our teachers, our health and safety professionals and our friends and neighbors.”

More specifically, said Hovekamp, who sat on the Bend-La Pine School Board, the state can do a better job “respecting and honoring our teachers … rather than targeting them and their earned benefits for elimination.”

FEE ADJUSTMENT The Deschutes County development fee took effect in July 2008. It was initially set at a lower amount and phased in until the full amount took effect on Jan. 1 this year. The development fee is adjusted every year in July by the annual percentage increase or decrease in the construction cost index.

This July, the fee was reduced from $3,549 to $3,528 per peak hour trip. *This amount takes effect Saturday.

FROM CANADA TO THE GULF COAST

New pipeline’s old divisions: jobs versus the environment

By Kirk Johnson and Dan Frosch New York Times News Service

GLENDIVE, Mont. — The final days of rancorous public debate over a $7 billion oil pipeline that would snake from Canada through the midsection of the U.S. have taken on an unexpected urgency this week, as the economic and environmental stakes of the massive project snap into focus at a time of festering anxiety about the nation’s future.

The round of public hearings by the State Department — stretching along the proposed pipeline route from a community college gymnasium here on Tuesday in eastern Montana, through Nebraska and Oklahoma to the Texas Gulf Coast — is ostensibly meant to focus on a single question: Is the pipe in the national interest?

Addressing that question though — especially through the sprawling sweep of six huge states through which the pipeline or its pump stations would run like a spine — takes in a universe of conflicting, interlocking issues, from short-term economics to global climate, from the discontent of a rural belt losing population to issues of national energy security, joblessness, corporate power and prices at the corner pump.

Many of the hundreds of people who have come to the meetings — one Thursday night in remote Atkinson, Neb., is expected to double the town’s population of about 1,200 — said they felt they were making a kind of last stand.

“We need the jobs, it’s that simple,” said Bret Marshall, 53, a laborer’s union worker who said he hoped to get work on the line and drove more than 700 miles across Montana to be here for Tuesday night’s hearing.

Environmental impact The State Department concluded last month that the project, Keystone XL, would cause minimal environmental impact if it is operated according to regulations, and the operator, TransCanada, has said the nearly 2,000-mile line would create 20,000 jobs in the U.S. Opposition groups around the country, though, said the federal study did not consider the effects of a major spill, while supporters said the nation’s economy has continued to worsen, making Keystone XL all the more crucial.

The politics has fractured along unexpected lines. Here in Montana, Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat, strongly supports the project, while in Nebraska, Gov. Dave Heineman, a Republican, and both U.S. senators, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, have called for the line to be rerouted because of concerns about the Ogallala Aquifer, a crucial water source beneath the Great Plains.

The public meetings, which end this week, also come on the heels of a summer’s worth of anti-Keystone XL protests in

Anne Sherwood / New York Times News Service

Demonstrators hold signs in favor of a proposed pipeline, in Glendive, Mont., on Tuesday. Public hearings over a $7 billion Canadian oil pipeline have pitted supporters who crave jobs against critics who fear a spill would be an environmental disaster.

“We believe it is important that the decision on this presidential permit is based on facts and not on the mistruths that many of these groups continue to share.”

— Terry Cunha, TransCanada spokesman

front of the White House, which led to the arrests of more than 1,000 people.

Groups like the National Wildlife Federation, while conceding that the Obama administration seemed to be leaning toward approval, gathered local organizations to speak out this week — from conservationists to ranchers — hoping their impassioned concerns would give Washington pause. The State Department is expected to decide by year’s end whether to give the project its final approval.

“The whole policy debate has dramatically increased in stature from a year ago,” said Anthony Swift, a policy analyst for the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is against the pipeline. “People would not be protesting, let alone getting arrested, for something that is a foregone conclusion.”

In Nebraska, controversy over Keystone XL has even managed to envelop the state’s beloved college football team.

Earlier this month, the University of Nebraska’s athletic director, Tom Osborne, who is a former Republican congressman, pulled TransCanada’s sponsorship of a video that ran on big screens during two home games. The video paid homage

to a former Cornhusker offensive line known as “the Pipeline,” and featured TransCanada’s logo.

Osborne said the athletic department took no position on Keystone XL, but sought to avoid political advertisements.

“Over the last two or three months, the pipeline issue has been increasingly politicized,” he said in a statement.

One of the main contentions expressed by Keystone XL’s opponents this week is that a pipeline of this size and scope is simply too risky to operate.

Oil of the sands Keystone XL will carry a coarse mixture that includes bitumen drawn from the oil sands of Alberta. Environmental groups have long contended that oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines and more difficult to clean when spilled. Oil sands, harder to extract and refine, they say, will also put more carbon in the air, accelerating climate change.

A TransCanada spokesman, Terry Cunha, pointed out that the company had agreed to adhere to 57 special conditions outlined in the State Department study to keep the pipeline especially secure. Cunha said that Keystone XL would be built with thicker material in especially sensitive regions — called “highconsequence areas” in federal regulations — and monitored with thousands of sensors, making it, he said, the safest pipeline in North America.

“We believe it is important that the decision on this presidential permit is based on facts and not on the mistruths that many of these groups continue to share,” Cunha said.

But some pipeline safety experts and environmentalists said that lax regulations and a raft of recent oil spills had raised

concerns that the tiny federal agency overseeing the nation’s network of pipelines, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, may be unable to handle a project of Keystone’s magnitude.

And people in rural areas like eastern Montana say they also know that the dry and mostly empty ranchlands where they live, they are not, and never have been, places of high consequence.

“Nobody wants to be told they’re of low consequence,” said Tim Hess, 65, a wheat farmer and cattle rancher born and raised here in Montana who would have about 1.5 miles of pipe cross his land but still did not know how much he would be paid for it.

Keystone XL’s opponents also point to a Enbridge Energy spill of 843,000 gallons of oil sands crude near Marshall, Mich., as an example of what can go wrong.

A little over a year after the spill, a 35-mile stretch of the Kalamazoo River remains closed.

And just this week, Enbridge stated in federal filings that the cost associated with the spill, originally estimated at $585 million, might now increase by 20 percent.

Pipeline supporters at the public hearings, though, have hammered two main points over and over — that America desperately needs jobs, and that the oil would be coming from a friendly nation. The Keystone pipeline would also allow oil from new fields in the Dakotas, Montana and elsewhere to be shipped south to Texas refineries, boosting the local economic appeal.

“All I ask is that you treat the 50,000 people in these six counties with respect and dignity,” Glendive’s mayor, Jerry Jimison, said Tuesday in comments that supported the pipeline but also hinted at a veiled threat. “That will affect the long-term relationship into the future,” he said.

USDA announces $80M for biofuel research The Associated Press YAKIMA, Wash. — The state’s two large universities will lead efforts to develop biofuels and regional renewable-energy markets under $80 million grants that are among the largest ever awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency announced Wednesday.

The grants allow Washington State University and the University of Washington to lead research into the conversion of Pacific Northwest wood and forest residues into biofuels.

Researchers say wood biofuels have the potential to help the region recover from the

loss of natural resource jobs in recent years and to use existing infrastructure, such as timber and pulp mills, to serve another regional powerhouse: the airline industry.

The University of Washington will lead a consortium of universities and businesses in a $40 million project to research converting poplar trees grown on plantations to aviation, diesel and gasoline fuels. Washington State University will lead another $40 million project to research the potential for using residual wood after logging and forest thinning for aviation fuel.

Partners in the two projects include universities, research entities and corporations, such as timber giant Weyerhaeuser .

O O B Conspirator in slaying charged with rape

guilty to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Mohamud’s defense team has requested information from the government in an effort to establish an entrapment defense.

DALLAS — A woman sent to prison for plotting to kill a Dallas couple has been charged in a separate case with rape.

The Salem Statesman Journal reported 48-year-old Cindy Lou Beck has been charged with two counts of rape and two counts of sodomy.

Beck was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her part in the conspiracy to murder the parents of boyfriend Andrew Jondle in August 2010.

Salem detectives began investigating in December 2010, when the victim reported the abuse to authorities. He is younger than 16.

Jondle pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to at least 50 years in prison. He struck a deal to avoid facing the death penalty.

Prosecutors say the Jondles were killed because the son expected to inherit their 200-acre farm.

Family of missing cyclist holds on to hope that he’s still alive Relatives of Mark Bosworth say a recurrence of brain cancer may have cause him to be disoriented

By Terrence Petty The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Nearly two weeks after Mark Bosworth vanished during a seven-day bicycle tour along scenic roads in Oregon, police still have no idea where the 54-year-old cancer survivor went. He left everything behind: clothing, his wallet and credit cards, and his bike.

Relatives are convinced Bosworth is alive, maybe so confused that he has forgotten that his home is in Portland. They suspect a recurrence of lymphoma that may have spread to his brain and caused symptoms of dementia.

In the early morning hours of Sept. 17, the day after Bosworth disappeared, a man wearing similar clothes was seen hitchhiking on a road outside the town of Riddle, where cyclists camped. His wife, Julie, wonders whether he’s is trying to get to New York City, where the couple lived for 10 years.

“I can imagine Mark being on I-90, getting by with 40 bucks in his pocket and a stranger’s kindness, being confused but strong enough to be on the road,” she told The Associated Press.

She hopes that her husband is still alive, maybe catching a ride with someone, maybe walking down some city street, that someone will recognize him, tell him people are looking for him, and that he needs to go home.

As he has in years past, Bosworth this year signed up as a

Although Bosworth was part of the tour’s support team, he brought his bike in case he had time to ride.

But days before the start, Bosworth was complaining of headaches.

He brushed them off, saying they were probably caused by muscles he had pulled while working on his bike. His wife

wasn’t so sure and told him so.

He made appointments to see his internist and oncologist, but set them up for after the trip.

During the trip, some had noticed uncharacteristic behavior from Bosworth. He failed to show up for some volunteer shifts, would stare into the distance while standing by himself and had difficulty following signs. When asked if he needed help, he said he was fine.

In a morning telephone conversation with his wife two days before he vanished, Bosworth

said Cycle Oregon had surprised everyone by flying cyclists to Ontario, Canada. In a phone call with his wife later that day, he acknowledged it was a strange thing to say and tried to explain it away by saying he must have been having a vivid dream just before they talked earlier in the day.

Julie Bosworth thinks her husband was trying not to deal with the possibility he might be having a cancer relapse until he got back.

Police say it does not appear that Bosworth was a victim of foul play. After talking with Bosworth’s doctors and relatives, investigators believe some medical episode is behind Bosworth’s disappearance, said Lt. Chris Merrifield, of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The search continues. Friends, relatives and others have distributed posters from the Canadian border into California and set up a blog, as well as Facebook and Twitter accounts dedicated to getting Bosworth’s photo out there and getting him home.

Bosworth is a map expert with Metro, a regional government entity for the greater Portland metropolitan area, as well as an avid cyclist, musician and cook.

Cyclist Greg Bolen spent time with Bosworth several hours before he disappeared.

At a beer garden set up by Cycle Oregon, Bosworth told Bolen he was going to the bathroom while they waited for pizzas, but he didn’t return to the table.

When Bolen saw him later that day Bosworth said he ran into someone, got to talking and lost track of time.

Bolen last saw Bosworth at about 9:30 on the night of Sept.

16, as they were walking back to the campsite.

Mark and Julie Bosworth were planning to fly to London this weekend to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Instead, she will be continuing to help in the search for her husband.

Property tax limitations choking off cities’ cash flow The Associated Press EUGENE — Pension and health care costs for employees of Oregon cities will cause a financial crunch that can’t be masked by raising fees and cutting services, according to an economics report issued by a Eugene firm.

Statewide property tax limitations that voters passed in the 1990s have left municipal governments without one of their key sources of revenue, The Eugene Register-Guard reported.

“Today, as Oregon’s economy slowly recovers, cities find themselves on the doorstep of yet another decade of challenges,” the report by EcoNorthwest said.

“Pension and health care costs for municipal workers are expected to continue to outpace the growth of property taxes and the economy as a whole.”

EcoNorthwest describes itself as a nonpartisan economics firm based in Eugene. The report was commissioned by the Oregon

League of Cities.

The report said city government wages have increased at approximately the same pace as inflation from 2001 to 2010, but the cost of providing city employee benefits grew at twice that rate.

The report predicts that city pension obligations will increase further through 2025.

It also said the combination of pension and health care costs will force cities to pass the burden onto employees in shared

health care costs, wage concessions and fewer hires.

The property tax limits were included in one of the state’s most contentions ballot measures, passed in November 1990s. The ballot measure capped property taxes for school funding and other sources. It also took school funding away from local revenue sources and shifted them primarily to the state in an effort to equalize school funding between rich and poor districts.

EUGENE — A dispute over a $10 debt sent two Springfield sisters to prison.

The Register Guard reported 50-year-old Debbie Reil was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison and 51-year-old Anna Marie Reil was sentenced to nearly four years. Both pleaded guilty to burglary, robbery and theft charges.

Prosecutors say they helped a third woman threaten a young woman over the $10 debt and then left the victim’s apartment with her TV and cellphone.

Driver dies in crash; power cut to 2,000 PORTLAND — A woman involved in a high-speed crash that cut off power to most of Oregon City has died of her injuries.

KPTV reported 25-year-old Leann Brooks died Tuesday from injuries suffered in the crash.

Brooks’ truck hit a guardrail at about 80 mph, striking a power pole. The crash cut off power to about 2,000 people in Oregon City for about seven hours on Monday.

Investigators say Brooks mishandled a 90-degree turn on Monday night. Firefighter spent 30 minutes trying to extricate her from the car.

She was flown by air ambulance to a Portland hospital, where she died of her injuries.

Trial for car-bomb plot suspect delayed PORTLAND — An Oregon terrorism trial has been pushed back as attorneys for the defense and prosecution continue to exchange discovery evidence.

U.S. District Court Judge Garr King filed an order pushing back the trial of Mohamed Mohamud to May 15, 2012.

Mohamud is accused of trying to detonate what he thought was a bomb at a Nov. 26 Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.

The men he thought were his coconspirators were actually FBI agents, and there was never an explosive device.

First lawsuit filed in $3 billion Columbia River bridge project replace the Interstate Bridge. It has drawn intense scrutiny for its price tag and concerns it won’t solve traffic congestion.

The opponents make a highly technical argument that when the Metro Council approved the land-use final order, it relied on a 1996 statute intended to streamline light-rail siting decisions. The statute gave Metro the power to approve the southnorth line without having to get the land-use nod from every city and county along the route.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The first lawsuit aimed at stalling the $3 billion Columbia River crossing project has been filed.

The Oregonian reported that the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and the Coalition for a Livable Future contend that the Metro Council on Aug. 11 inappropriately used a light-rail siting statute and gave the go-ahead for what is predominantly a freeway project. Three businesses in Northeast Portland or Hayden Island also are challenging Metro’s decision.

The Columbia River Crossing intends to rebuild 5.5 miles of Interstate 5 between North Portland and Vancouver and

Mahlon Couch’s memorial for son

L

ove shows itself in lots of ways. In the case of Mahlon Couch and his son, Jim, love meant Mahlon’s daily visits to Jim in a local nursing home.

It meant cutting his hair and trimming his nails, and, when Jim died earlier this summer, it meant the largest gift ever given to the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon.

The Couches, both of them, were loggers who worked together until Jim was seriously injured in 1967 at the age of 19.

The injury left him disabled, and, after a few years, a permanent resident in a nursing home. That’s where Mahlon visited him every day for more than 30 years.

The elder Couch did something else, as well. Early on he began setting aside money for his son, money that could be used to pay for a cure if one were found.

When Jim died in late June, Mahlon decided to honor his memory with a gift of that money, $500,000, to OFCO. It was a complete surprise, says OFCO Executive Director Darrel Wilson. Now he and his board of

directors have the distinct pleasure of deciding how to spend Couch’s gift.

They have some options, for Couch’s gift was unrestricted — he told Wilson to spend it where it was needed most. Though plans are not complete, OFCO is considering a variety of things, including paying down debt on several group homes; offering scholarships to those who will lose state disability funding at the end of October; a benevolent fund to assist with unexpected client and staff needs; and putting some funds toward improvements in OFCO’s programs such as efforts to transition clients to private sector jobs. Meanwhile, the agency will formally name its wood mill after Jim Couch in a ceremony on Oct. 8.

Mahlon Couch is a remarkable man, and his gift to the Opportunity Foundation is equally remarkable. It was a gift given out of the love the father bore for his son. There could be no more-fitting memorial.

End the 6% pickup B

efore Gov. Ted Kulongoski left office, he said total compensation increases for state workers should go up by no more than 3 percent, including pay and benefits.

Incoming Gov. John Kitzhaber told the state employee unions they would only get 6 percent.

What did the unions get?

7.4 percent.

The extra 1.4 percent increase was $42 million more than legislators budgeted.

What’s worse is the $42 million will come from a state budget that was precariously balanced to begin with. Already, the state economic forecast predicts the state is going to have $200 million less in revenue than it had planned for.

It may not be a surprise that governors find it difficult to get what they want out of union negotiations. We would still hope governors and legislators would be fierce advocates of fiscal rectitude.

Some are.

The additional $42 million reignited concern by state Reps. Jason Conger, R-Bend, and Mike McLane, RPowell Butte. They were disappointed the Legislature failed to do more to control the costs of state employees — including the state employees retirement system or PERS. “The sum total of PERS reform in this 76th Legislative Assembly costs us

money,” McLane said earlier this year.

Some other legislators, well, you have to wonder.

State Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, rallied to the defense of PERS. Buckley, a member of the budgetwriting committee, told The Bulletin he’s not convinced a solution has been introduced that “makes sense, legally looks possible to do,” and has a “significant impact on any short-term budget problem.”

Let’s apply Buckley’s defense to the proposal to drop the 6 percent pickup. Oregon law requires public employees to contribute 6 percent of their salaries to their retirement accounts. Many public employers have agreed in labor negotiations to pay some or all of that contribution. Legislators proposed a bill that would end the mandatory pickup. It died.

Compared against a budget in the billions, the state savings from not having to pay the pickup is about $100 million a year. Those savings would only exist as long as unions did not win other increases to compensate for the loss of the pickup. We’d still call as much as $100 million significant.

A change in the pickup would also face legal challenges. The state’s default position should not be surrender.

And ending the mandatory pickup, coupled with other budget reductions, makes sense with the state struggling to fund programs and taxpayers struggling to pay their own bills.

My Nickel’s Worth Ignorance is terrible Ignorance is a terrible thing. Ignorance — whether feigned or real — is neither charming nor cute, and shame on Gary Montgomery for proudly wearing a badge of ignorance in his Sept. 16 letter “Tea party critics.”

I do not want ignorant “old country boys” making important decisions for our country. I want intelligent men and women (whether from the city or the country, Democrat or Republican) who have studied, for example, history, analytical thinking and ethics; people who make decisions based on what’s best for our country, not just for a selfserving chosen few.

America’s problems aren’t simple and won’t be solved by simple-minded partisans taking potshots at one another in the media using the nasty catchphrase du jour. When we all can speak and listen to each other respectfully and identify what we can agree on, we will start to find solutions. Intelligent people — liberals and conservatives — debate and compromise; they don’t waste energy thinking up nasty labels to pin on each other.

My daddy didn’t finish eighth grade, but he would have found Montgomery’s letter anathema — and he would know what that word means. He read and learned all his life and did not die an ignorant man. You are not setting a good example for your children or other young people by lauding ignorance,

blowing off the complicated issues, and proposing that the solutions to America’s current woes are as simple as your household budget. Ignorance is destructive and never moves us forward.

Walden view uninformed Regarding Janet Whitney’s Sept. 24 In My View piece on Rep. Greg Walden, in my opinion, her view is uninformed.

In the years 2007, ’08 and ’09, I was deeply involved in the management of a local chapter of a national business organization. In that capacity, I continually traveled to all parts of this area, and I was amazed at how frequently I kept bumping into Walden out in the field. He seemed to be everywhere working on his constituents’ business.

However, that changed in 2010 when the Republicans took over the House, formerly controlled by the Democrats, and Walden became deputy whip, a very busy and politically influential position.

That transition materially reduces his local availability because his Washington duties take precedence.

This is implied in our political process, and contradictory to the insinuation by Whitney of “abandonment” by Walden of local interests. On the contrary, his new political positioning now better and more powerfully serves his constituency.

Whitney’s comments appear to be addressing a sub-rosa political agenda i.e., her comments on the town hall forum, foreclosures in Deschutes County, job formations, immigration, etc.

These are all critically important subjects, but ones that can most effectively be addressed at the national level. Furthermore, her comment on “big money” running the country is a patently biased political comment.

I recommend that Whitney contact Walden’s Washington office (http:// walden.house.gov/) well in advance to arrange a meeting with him. His staff is normally very accommodating.

Bill Saling Redmond

Don’t blame the driver In response to the Sept. 17 article “Tribute and a reminder” about Scott Knapp and the memorial for his pit bull: Mr. Knapp, I feel for your loss, you have my sympathies. However, don’t blame the driver, blame yourself — keep your dog on a leash when it is not inside a controlled area, not just because the laws say so but because it will protect the dog from accidents and it will have a much longer life. You will also protect others from your dog. You have a primary responsibility as a pet owner to keep your pet safe and free from harm.

Bad economy has proven outsourcing doesn’t pencil out

By Lynette K. G. Sheffield

I

t’s the economy, stupid. But, it’s broken.

Some have theorized we have too many rules and regulations and that hurts the economy.

Rules and regulations mean safer workplaces and products that are produced without harming the environment. How many more dead coal miners and oil rig workers does it take?

Food and product recalls happen because of regulation. The average consumer is not able to inspect everything.

I don’t want to be a test subject. And it wasn’t that long ago that we learned what happens if you don’t regulate the financial industry.

Maybe corporate tax rates are too high?

History shows we’ve had better economic conditions even when the tax rates were higher. With accounting techniques and questionable loopholes, few businesses actually pay the stated corporate tax rate. Currently, some corporations and their executives are even reporting record profits and salaries.

There’s not a single business that ever looks at its bottom line and says, “We’re making too much money. We need to hire more employees.”

So, if it’s not taxes or regulations that

The only reason for businesses to hire is because the current staffing level supplies are insufficient to meet the increasing customer demands. More sales lead to more jobs and more jobs lead to more sales.

It’s supply and demand.

Economics 101. are killing the American economy, what is?

Outsourcing.

Over the last few years, American jobs have been shipped overseas. The thinking was if businesses could reduce costs, profits would go up.

And, in the short term, profits did go up. Hard to argue paying an American worker a living wage with benefits would ever cost less than paying someone else $2 a day. Cheaper labor in countries without concern for safe workplaces or safe products definitely

IN MY VIEW costs less.

Although, producing unsafe products might increase legal expenses. Just a thought.

When an American company outsources American jobs, it produces a ripple effect that once started, will not stop.

Firing one person who previously earned a living wage means that person must get another job. This new job will probably pay less, maybe even minimum wage. There will be fewer or no benefits.

Because this person has been displaced, consumption is reduced.

Less merchandise will be sold both from the outsourcing company and other businesses, such as those involved in the making and selling of food, apparel and automobiles.

Once those other companies lose their clientele, they will have to lay off some of their workers, too. As sales go down, the need for staff also decreases.

These workers will also be looking for new jobs and will also have to cut back on their spending.

If you only have a minimum-wage job, you cannot afford to buy a house.

So, property tax revenues go down, which means public employees will be affected. Fewer teachers will have bigger classrooms and law enforcement departments will shrink. There won’t be as many first responders.

These workers who are cut will also have to find new jobs and few will find ones that include benefits.

When fewer people have health insurance coverage, the cost for those who do goes way up. When the pie is cut into fewer pieces, each piece places more of a burden on those remaining.

With more Americans making less money, federal tax collection revenues also go down. With depressed federal revenues, it won’t be long until cuts are made in Social Security, Medicare and Veteran’s Affairs.

And those regulations that keep our workplaces safe and the financing industry under control will no longer have the necessary staff to enforce them.

Roads will go unrepaired and bridges will be less safe. Just hope it’s not your kid’s school bus going over it at the time.

Outsourcing American jobs to other countries is not only unpatriotic and immoral, it’s bad business! Wiping out your customer base just doesn’t pencil out.

Lower taxes and less regulation don’t

produce jobs. Sound bites, union busting and blaming the other side doesn’t make one good job at one good wage.

What would produce jobs is for corporations to be rewarded for moving their businesses here. Those who insist on using overseas labor would pay for the privilege of selling to Americans.

Another tax? Call it what you will, but no one can argue it’s not a privilege well worth paying for, considering the value of the purchasing power of American consumers.

The only reason for businesses to hire is because the current staffing level supplies are insufficient to meet the increasing customer demands. More sales lead to more jobs and more jobs lead to more sales. It’s supply and demand. Economics 101.

The other job creator is us. Americans. We have a long list of jobs begging to be filled, including road construction and repair, airport security updates, high-speed rail construction, Internet extension to rural areas, more teachers, law enforcement and first responders. These are jobs that cannot be outsourced. Will it cost? Sure. But what will it cost if we do nothing?

Let’s get to work.

Doris was born on November 1, 1934, on a large cattle ranch in Princeton, Oregon, to Charles and Gladys Beckley. This ranch was homesteaded by Charlie's family nearing a century earlier.

Doris had two sisters, Marianne Ami, (Bill Morris) and Patsy Cronin (Harvey), and the three of them had a grand time running around the ranch, riding horses, herding cattle, playing music and attending schools in Crane, Oregon. It was a good life and she had great fun.

She attended nursing school after graduating high school as Valedictorian, thereafter beginning an almost 40-year career in nursing. She was a caring and extremely competent nurse living in South Dakota and then Oregon pursuing her career.

She married her first husband, Bob DenHerder (deceased) in 1954, and had four children, Cindy Palmer (Nat), Scott DenHerder (Wendy), Bob DenHerder (Dana), and Randy DenHerder. These children all went on to become loving adults, due to Doris' kind touch. Doris has nine grandchildren, Jessica Ballentine, Sean and Ryan DenHerder, Garrett, Kelsey, Dakota and Bryndl DenHerder, Heather, Justin and Whitney DenHerder and several great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews which she loved very much.

Doris married Rass Rasmussen in 1987 in Lebanon, Oregon, and they both lived and worked in Albany until retiring to Central Oregon in 1997.

Doris touched more lives with her love, including step-children, Jerry Rasmussen, (Natlie), Phyllis Wilber, (Steve), Diane Harrell, (Ron), and Dale Rasmussen, and three step-grandchildren Jerry Wilber (Melinda) and Kindle and Genna Rasmussen plus several great-grandchildren.

Doris loved camping and hunting, traveling, visiting her children and grandchildren, bird-watching and shopping. She was active in Eastern Star, becoming Worthy Matron in 1985. She volunteered may hours at the Redmond Senior Center during her retirement. She loved her faith in Jesus and enjoyed attending the Zion Lutheran Church in Redmond. Everyone she touched remembers her kind smile, sweet attitude and her generous spirit. She will be missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, first husband, and brother-in-law, Gene Ami. Her children ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Meals on Wheels.

Memorial Services will be held 2 p.m., Sunday, October 2, 2011, at Zion Lutheran Church, 1113 SW Black Butte Blvd., Redmond, OR. Condolences can be extended to the family at our website: wwwdechutesmemorialchapel.com

Wilson Greatbatch, 92, invented the pacemaker New York Times News Service Wilson Greatbatch, a professed “humble tinkerer” who, working in his barn in 1958, designed the first practical implantable pacemaker, a device that has preserved millions of lives, died on Tuesday at his home in Williamsville, N.Y. He was 92.

His death was confirmed by his daughter, Anne Maciariello.

Greatbatch patented more than 325 inventions, notably a long-life

lithium battery used in a wide range of medical implants. He created tools used in AIDS research and a solar-powered canoe, which he took on a 160-mile voyage on the Finger Lakes in New York to celebrate his 72nd birthday.

In later years, he invested time and money in developing fuels from plants and supporting work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison on helium-based fusion reaction for power generation.

Wilderness Continued from C1 “It’s really an evolving proposal,” Goodman-Campbell said. “It’s a little bit premature to be voting on endorsing it.”

The Jefferson County Commission is also set to vote Wednesday on a letter opposing the wilderness area proposal, said Mike Ahern, commission chairman. He said the letter, if approved, would be sent to the state’s congressional delegation.

Goodman-Campell said ONDA has no immediate plans to send a proposal to Congress.

“I hope that we can come up with some sort of compromise soon,” Goodman-Campbell said.

While McLaren said he’s been working with ONDA to reduce the acreage of proposed wilderness bordering Crooked River Ranch, he said concerns about what equipment could be used in the wilderness cause him to oppose the designation.

“I have not changed my position,” said McLaren.

Many Crooked River Ranch residents polled late this summer feel the same way.

The board of directors sent out 2,300 surveys in July, said Johnson, the board president.

David Zelag Goodman, screenwriter best known for ’70s films, dies at 81

LOS ANGELES — David Zelag Goodman, a screenwriter best known for such 1970s films as the controversial psychological thriller “Straw Dogs” and “Lovers and Other Strangers,” a comedy that earned him an Oscar nomination, has died. He was 81.

Goodman died Monday at an assisted-living facility in Oakland, Calif., of progressive supranuclear palsy, a brain disorder, said his daughter, Kevis Goodman.

The budget hole will grow by more than $1 million when the federal Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, also known as timber payments, expires next year.

“I don’t agree with him that public employees are being targeted,” Conger said.

The incumbent said with limited resources and increasing demand for services, the state needs to look at public employees benefits.

Reforming PERs, Conger maintained, will help it be more sustainable and benefit both public employees and taxpayers.

Conger pointed to the fact that he has also pushed to establish a higher education presence in Central Oregon and helped secure a $2.29 million bond this session, which will help Oregon State University-Cascades Campus purchase a building to

Of the 658 that came back by the early September deadline, 432, or 66 percent, said they didn’t support the proposal, 173, or 26 percent, supported the proposal and 53, or 8 percent, didn’t have an opinion.

McLaren has said he’s worried wilderness rules could prevent the fighting of fire with bulldozers, air tankers and chainsaws near Crooked River Ranch.

Such a response kept a wildfire over the weekend in check and prevented evacuations in Crooked River Ranch, Johnson said.

“They fought it with both a timely and robust response,” Johnson said.

The human-caused Alder Springs Fire started Sept. 22 and burned more than 1,400 acres over the weekend before being contained early this week, said Juanita Johnson, acting assistant manager at the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center in Prineville.

She said firefighters used chainsaws, bulldozers, helicopters and air tankers to encircle the fire, which burned on the Crooked River National Grassland.

Johnson said the grassland isn’t managed as a wilderness.

did some of the best of the ‘70s movies. That was when he was really on fire, so to speak.”

During his movie-writing heyday in the ‘70s, Goodman shared an Oscar nomination with Joseph Bologna and Renee Taylor for co-writing the screenplay for “Lovers and Other Strangers,” a 1970 comedy based on Bologna and Taylor’s play.

Goodman teamed with director Sam Peckinpah to cowrite the screenplay for “Straw Dogs,” the Peckinpah-directed 1971 film starring Dustin Hoffman as a mild-mannered American mathematician living with his British wife (Susan George) in an English country village, a location that proves to be less than tranquil for the couple.

The film, which generated

controversy for its violence, was described by Charles Champlin, then the Los Angeles Times’ film critic, as “an overpowering piece of storytelling, certain to remind every viewer of the wells of primal emotion lurking within himself, beneath the fragile veneer of civilized control.”

Goodman’s other film credits as a co-writer include “Monte Walsh,” a 1970 Western starring Lee Marvin, and “Eyes of Laura Mars,” a 1978 thriller starring Faye Dunaway.

He also wrote the screenplays for “Farewell, My Lovely,” a 1975 adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel starring Robert Mitchum as Philip Marlowe; and “Logan’s Run,” the 1976 science-fiction film starring Michael York.

pected, Kolb said.

Bend and Redmond have not suspended their development fees, although Redmond discounts those fees by 50 percent for affordable housing projects and Bend has a program that defers the fees for builders and developers who request it.

The city of Bend program began in August 2008, and it allows builders and developers to defer payment of the fees for up to nine months. As of June 2010, 17 companies and individuals had used the city’s program to defer certain development fees.

Updated data on the number of companies and individuals who used the program was not available from the city Wednesday. However, Bend Finance Director Sonia K. Andrews wrote in an e-mail Wednesday that $935,000 in fees had been deferred so far, and develop-

ers had paid $650,000 of that amount. The city of Bend also charges development fees for other services, such as water and sewer, which Deschutes County does not.

Redmond Public Works Director Chris Doty said City Council members discussed the idea of offering the fee discount to all developers earlier this year, but the council ultimately tabled the matter.

DeBone said he wants to hear from residents whether they support a suspension of the development fees.

“I do support the fact that this is important revenue for the Road Department,” DeBone said. “I’m not looking to get rid of this (development charge).”

house its graduate programs.

Conger said he pushed to make Oregon’s economy more competitive and shepherded legislation that renewed the area’s enterprise zones, a proven way to spur job growth, he said.

Hovekamp, who has had a seat on the Bend Planning Commission for eight years, said if elected he would be an advocate for conservation of Oregon’s natural resources and public lands. He also believes his background as an educator — he was a biology professor for more than two decades, including at Central Oregon Community College — will help him build a stronger higher education presence in the region.

Every member of Central Oregon’s current delegation, all Republicans, said they intend to run again in the Nov. 6, 2012, election.

So far, representatives John Huffman, R-The Dalles; Mike

McLane, R-Powell Butte; and Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, have officially filed with the secretary of state’s office. Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, and Conger both said they will file before the March deadline.

All 60 House seats and 15 of the 30 Senate seats are up for election. Voters will also choose the next treasurer, attorney general and secretary of state.

The current attorney general, John Kroger, has announced he will seek another term. Treasurer Ted Wheeler has filed to run again.

Knute Buehler, a partner at The Center of Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Care and Research, has announced he is considering a run for secretary of state, a position held by Kate Brown.

Management acres are, though.

Since 1984 the BLM has considered much of the land it oversees near Crooked River Ranch a “wilderness study area,” meaning the rules that apply to firefighting in wildeness areas apply there, too.

But if a fire in a wilderness area threatens lives or private property, there is leeway in how it can be fought, said Lisa Clark, spokeswoman for the dispatch center.

“It’s just a matter of getting permission,” she said.

Uncle Sam still sending pot to 4 in U.S. Born of a 1976 court case, last participants in federal program now rock stars of push for legalization

Elvy Musikka, 72, who suffers from glaucoma, lights a marijuana cigarette, one of many she regularly receives from the federal government, at her home in Eugene. For the past three decades, the U.S. has been providing a handful of patients with marijuana.

EUGENE — Sometime after midnight on a moonlit rural Oregon highway, a state trooper checking a car he had just pulled over found pot on a passenger.

The discovery was not surprising in a marijuana-friendly state like Oregon, but the 72-year-old woman’s defense was: She insisted the weed was legal and given to her by none other than the federal government.

A series of phone calls from a dubious trooper and his supervisor to federal authorities determined that the glaucoma patient was not joking — the U.S. government does grow and provide pot to a select few people across the United States.

For the past three decades, Uncle Sam has been providing patients with some of the highestgrade marijuana around as part of a little-known program that grew out of a 1976 court settlement and created the country’s first legal pot smoker. The program once provided 14 people government pot. Now, there are four left.

Advocates for legalizing marijuana or treating it as a medicine say the program is a glaring contradiction in the nation’s 40-year war on drugs — maintaining the federal ban on pot while at the same time supplying it.

Government officials say there is no contradiction. The program is no longer accepting new patients, and public health authorities have concluded that there was no scientific value to it, Steven Gust of the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse told The Associated Press. The government has only continued to supply the marijuana “for compassionate reasons,” Gust said.

One of the recipients is Elvy Musikka, a chatty Oregon woman. A vocal marijuana advocate, Musikka relies on the pot to keep her glaucoma under control. She entered the program in 1988 and

Musikka shows the canister holding marijuana cigarettes sent to her by the federal government.

She is one of four in the nation who receive pot from the government said that her experience with marijuana is proof that it works as a medicine.

They “won’t acknowledge the fact that I do not have even one aspirin in this house,” she said, leaning back on her couch, glass bong cradled in her hand. “I have no pain.”

Marijuana in the U.S. Marijuana is getting a look from states around the country considering calls to repeal decades-old marijuana prohibition laws. There are 16 states that have medical marijuana programs. In the three West Coast states, advocates are readying tax-and-sell or other legalization programs.

Marijuana was legal for much of U.S. history and was recognized as a medicine in 1850. Opposition to it began to gather and, by 1936, 48 states had passed laws

regulating pot, fearing it could lead to addiction.

Anti-marijuana literature and films, like the infamous “Reefer Madness,” helped fan those fears.

Eventually pot was classified among the most harmful of drugs, meaning it had no usefulness and a high potential for addiction.

In 1976, a federal judge ruled that the Food and Drug Administration must provide Robert Randall of Washington, D.C., with marijuana because of his glaucoma — no other drug could effectively combat his condition.

Randall became the nation’s first legal pot smoker since the drug’s prohibition.

Eventually, the government created its program as part of a compromise over Randall’s care in 1978, long before a single state passed a medical marijuana law. What followed was a series of petitions from people like

Musikka to join the program.

President George H.W. Bush’s administration, getting tough on crime and drugs, stopped accepting new patients in 1992. Many of the patients who had qualified had AIDS, and they were dying.

The AP asked the agency that administers the program, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, for documents showing how much marijuana has been sent to patients since the first patient in 1976.

The agency supplied full data for 2005-2011, which showed that during that period the federal government distributed more than 100 pounds of high-grade marijuana to patients.

Agency officials said records related to the program before 2005 had been destroyed, but were able to provide scattered records for a couple of years in the early 2000s.

Grown in Mississippi The four patients remaining in the program estimate they have received a total of 584 pounds from the federal government over the years. On the street, that would be worth more than $500,000.

All of the marijuana comes from the University of Mississippi, where it is grown, harvested and stored.

Dr. Mahmoud ElSohly, who directs the operation, said the marijuana was a small part of

the crop the university has been growing since 1968 for all cannabis research in the U.S. Among the studies are the pharmaceutical uses for synthetic imitations of pot’s psychoactive ingredient, THC. ElSohly said the four patients are getting pot with about 3 percent THC. He said 3 percent is about the range patients have preferred in blind tests.

The marijuana is then sent from Mississippi to a tightly controlled North Carolina lab, where they are rolled into cigarettes.

And every month, steel tins with white labels are sent to Florida and Iowa. Packed inside each is a half-pound of marijuana rolled into 300 perfectly wrapped joints.

With Musikka living in Oregon, she is entitled to more legal pot than anyone in the nation because she’s also enrolled in the state’s medical marijuana program. Neither Iowa nor Florida has approved marijuana as a medicine, so the federal pot is the only legal access to the drug for the other three patients.

The three other people in the program range in age and dosage of marijuana provided to them, but all consider themselves an endangered species that, once extinct, can be brushed aside by a federal government that pretends they don’t exist.

All four have become crusaders for the marijuana-legalization movement. They’re rock stars at pro-marijuana conferences, sought-after speakers and recognizable celebrities in the movement.

Irv Rosenfeld, a financial adviser in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., has been in the program since November 1982. His condition produces painful bone tumors, but he said marijuana has replaced prescription painkillers.

Rosenfeld likes to tell this story: In the mid-1980s, the federal government asked his doctor for an update on how Rosenfeld was doing. It was an update the doctor didn’t believe the government was truly interested in. He had earlier tried to get a copy of the previous update, and was told the government couldn’t find it, Rosenfeld said.

So instead of filling out the form, the doctor responded with a simple sentence written in large, red letters: “It’s working.”

USDA chief says Obama plan would create 5,500 Oregon jobs

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told a roundtable of Oregon business leaders that President Barack Obama’s jobs plan would create 5,500 construction jobs in this state.

The pitch this week in Portland was part of Vilsack’s nationwide tour in support of the jobs plan. Obama is trying to muster support for the plan he sent to Congress on Sept. 12.

“We’ve had 18 months of consecutive private-sector job growth,” Vilsack said. “We obviously need to do more, and we need to do it faster.”

Vilsack said the plan has three elements: infrastructure investment, debt reduction and tax cuts.

The payroll tax cut offered to small businesses, which would reduce their tax to 3.1 percent on the first $5 million in wages, would prod businesses to hire, Vilsack said.

“In the state of Oregon, 90,000 firms will benefit from that tax cut,” Vilsack said.

“That will give them the resources and flexibility to potentially consider expanding and additional hiring.”

A major part of the plan is its incentives for businesses to hire the long-term unemployed. Oregon has 100,000 people who have been without work for six months or longer.

Vilsack said businesses would get tax breaks for hiring from that pool. The plan couples those breaks with tax incentives for hiring military veterans.

As part of infrastructure improvement in Oregon, Vilsack said the state would receive $426 million for highway and transit modernization projects.

Money would also be routed to state and local governments.

LOCAL GOLF Oswego Lake CC pro fires 65 on Fall Tour at Eagle Crest REDMOND — An Oswego Lake Country Club pro blistered Eagle Crest Resort’s Ridge Course Wednesday to post the low score of the third round of the Fall Tour Invitational.

Scott Erdmann, who played in the 2011 PGA Championship in August, shot a 7-underpar 65 to outpace a tie for second place by three strokes.

Scott Cravens, of Crave Golf in Redmond, fired a 4under 68 to tie Sean Arey, of Trysting Tree Golf Club, for second. Erdmann won $500 for the low round, and Cravens and Arey each won $375.

Jeff Fought, the director of golf at Black Butte Ranch, and Bob Garza, director of instruction at Lost Tracks Golf Club in Bend, finished in a tie for fifth place after each shot 2-under 70.

The Fall Tour is hosted by four different Central Oregon golf courses. The tournament is split into a pair of two-round events and includes club professionals and amateurs.

Cash prizes are awarded for the lowest rounds each day, lowest two-day totals, team competitions and other contests.

Charlie Rose, of Bend Golf and Country Club, shot the low amateur gross round with a 4-under 68.

The tournament continues with today’s final round at Black Butte Ranch Big Meadow course.

Deer season starts Saturday

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

year have produced favorable forage conditions and filled empty reservoirs, allowing deer to be more widely scattered across their range.

Rifle buck tags have been issued in about the same numbers as last year for all three units: 3,080 in the Ochoco Unit, 1,188 in the Grizzly Unit, and 385 in the Maury Unit.

The number of tags offered in the Maury Unit was reduced by half in 2009, as part of the ODFW’s Mule Deer Initiative to help restore the deer population in that area.

The buck-to-doe ratio in the Maury Unit has improved from 16 bucks per 100 does last year to 26 bucks per 100 does this year, according to Eden.

HUNTING & FISHING

Encouraging buck ratios could make for an exciting rifle deer hunting season this fall in Central Oregon.

Controlled buck hunting season begins Saturday and runs through Oct. 12 throughout Central and Eastern Oregon.

In the Ochoco District — which includes the Grizzly, Ochoco and Maury wildlife management units — hunters can expect to see more bucks than usual, according to wildlife biologist Meg Eden of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“Our populations are down in all the units overall, but our buck ratios are up,” Eden said this week.

She explained that abundant spring rains this

Buck deer hunters will take to the woods this Saturday in Oregon.

Duck and run Slow start? UO running back LaMichael James is hitting his stride four games into the season

LaMichael’s run After two games in which he didn’t get much yardage on the ground, Oregon’s LaMichael James topped 200 yards in consecutive games: Game Yards rushing vs. LSU 54 vs. Nevada 67 vs. Missouri St. 204 at Arizona 288

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

It turns out that Oregon’s LaMichael James wasn’t really off to a slow start after all. He was just getting revved up.

Four games into the college football season, he’s ranked second in the nation with an average of 153.25 yards rushing per game, behind only Michigan’s Denard Robinson (168.67). James is third nationally with an average of 226.75 all-purpose yards.

James boosted his stats last weekend in No. 9 Oregon’s 56-31 victory at Arizona. A Heisman Trophy finalist last season, James ran for 288 yards against the Wildcats, setting a single-game school record. He scored two touchdowns.

Beavers’ start is worst in 15 years The Associated Press CORVALLIS — It’s debatable whether Oregon State coach Mike Riley really sees something he can build on after a 0-3 start or if he’s simply trying to keep his team’s spirits up.

Riley was trying to emphasize the positives after Oregon State’s 27-19 loss to UCLA this past weekend.

“I’m frankly very encouraged by this group and seeing them grow,” Riley said, while admitting that of course he was disappointed.

Still, nothing will erase the fact that the Beavers are off to their worse start since 1996 — and it won’t be getting any easier. Oregon State heads to Arizona State this Saturday to face the No. 25 Sun Devils, who defeated USC 43-22 Saturday.

The Beavers were stunned in their season opener at home against Sacramento State, before a 35-0 loss at Wisconsin.

On Saturday, the Beavers settled for two field goals when the offense stalled deep in UCLA territory.

NFL Bend’s Bledsoe among candidates for Hall of Fame CANTON, Ohio — Bend resident Drew Bledsoe, who was a quarterback for the NFL’s New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys, is one of the players who will be eligible for the 2012 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Retired coaches Bill Cowher, Bill Parcells and Marty Schottenheimer are among the modern-era candidates for the next class. Cowher is eligible for the first time, as are players Keyshawn Johnson, Tiki Barber, Stephen Davis, Rod Smith, Will Shields, Troy Vincent and Mike Vanderjagt.

Altogether, 103 men are eligible; voting will take place in February the day before the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

From the original list of nominees, the selection committee will choose 25 semifinalists in November. That group of semifinalists will be further reduced by a mail ballot to 15 modern-era finalists and announced in early January.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

In a wild end to the season, Rays, Cards grab playoff spots

Chris O’Meara / The Associated Press

Tampa Bay Rays’ Evan Longoria, center, celebrates with teammates after his home run in extra innings lifted the Rays past the New York Yankees early this morning in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Rays’ win coupled with a Boston Red Sox loss put Tampa Bay in the playoffs.

A startling rally by the Tampa Bay Rays, a season saved by a guy hitting only .108. A total collapse by the Boston Red Sox, on one more ball that just got away.

Another big win by Chris Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals. Another near-miss for Chipper Jones and the Atlanta Braves.

A frenzied finish all over the majors on Wednesday night, more than any fan could have asked for. And it’s not even October yet.

“One of the greatest days in baseball history,” the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira said.

And imagine this: Teixeira’s team lost.

The final day of the regular season had already shaped up as a wild one, with the playoff picture a blur.

S B Basketball • Former NBA star Sabonis stable after heart attack: Basketball Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis is in stable condition after suffering a heart attack. Doctors in Sabonis’ hometown of Kaunas, Lithuania, said Wednesday that the former NBA player is in intensive care, but the heart attack is not life-threatening. The 46-year-old Sabonis was taken to a hospital Tuesday night after going into cardiac arrest while playing basketball. The center played seven seasons for the Portland Trail Blazers between 19952003.

• NBA lockout heads to key stretch this weekend: Regular-season games could be at stake when NBA owners and players meet this weekend. And those might not be all that is lost, Commissioner David Stern warned, without real headway toward a new labor deal. “All I’d say to that is that there are enormous consequences at play here on the basis of the weekend,” Stern said Wednesday. “Either we’ll make very good progress, and we know what that would mean — we know how good that would be, without putting dates to it — or we won’t make any progress and then it won’t be a question of just starting the season on time, it will be a lot at risk because of the absence of progress.” Talks between negotiators ended after two days Wednesday so they could return home before summoning their respective bargaining committees to New York for the most important stretch of the lockout.

They will meet Friday and are prepared to talk through the weekend if progress toward a new collective bargaining agreement is being made. The league denied an ESPN. com report that Stern planned to threaten players with cancellation of the entire 2011-12 season if there wasn’t progress toward a deal by the end of the weekend.

Football • Commish thinks Missouri will stay in Big 12: Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas says he is confident Missouri will stay in the Big 12. The Big 12 athletic directors wrapped up two days of meetings in Dallas on Wednesday and Neinas met with each individually. Missouri is the latest Big 12 school in the spotlight, considering whether to stay in the conference or move to another league. It has been reported that Missouri was eyeing a move to the Southeastern Conference when it looked as if Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech could be heading to the Pac-12. The Big 12 has already lost Texas A&M to the SEC. • Titans sign WR Avery, place Britt on IR: The Tennessee Titans placed receiver Kenny Britt on injured reserve Wednesday and signed Donnie Avery to fill his spot on the roster. Britt tore both his ACL and MCL in his right knee during last week’s 17-14 win over Denver. He will need surgery within the next two weeks to repair the damage, but the injury left Tennessee (2-1) with only four receivers.

The Titans worked out a handful of receivers Tuesday and Wednesday before signing Avery. The 5-foot-11 Avery was a second-round pick in 2008 out of Houston by St. Louis.

Baseball • Ozzie era begins for Marlins: Fresh off a divorce in Chicago, Ozzie Guillen has been reunited with the Florida Marlins and owner Jeffrey Loria. Guillen tends to speak his mind, while Loria leads the league in managerial changes, but both dismissed predictions about a rocky relationship as way off base. “When we used to go to the winter meetings together, people went, ‘That’s a crazy combo,’” Guillen said. “But we know each other.” And so the Ozzie era began in Miami. Hours before the Marlins’ final game in the stadium they’re leaving, they formally introduced Guillen as their manager Wednesday. “It’s a big, big step in my career, a new chapter,” Guillen said.

“Hopefully I can bring energy, flavor and enthusiasm, but the most important thing is a winning team.” The announcement carried little suspense. Shortly after Guillen resigned Monday as the manager of the White Sox, his website leaked the news that he had agreed to become the Marlins’ manager.

Culver volleyball stays perfect in league play Bulletin staff report SCIO — Culver improved to 8-0 in Tri-River Conference volleyball with a three-game victory over Scio on Wednesday, defeating the Loggers 25-16, 25-4, 25-11.

Cheyenne Dobkins recorded 10 aces and 26 assists, while Kelsie Stafford posted a team-high 10 kills to lead the Bulldogs.

PREP SPORTS Culver is alone in first place in the TRC with six matches remaining in the regular season.

“These girls play as unit,” Bulldog coach Randi Viggiano said. “They’re very fluid. They move together.”

Gabrielle Alley and Shealene Little added four digs apiece for Culver, which hosts Regis on Monday in another TRC match.

“We’ve got big goals this season,” said Viggiano, who is in her second year guiding the Bulldogs. “More so than even winning league.

We want to make sure we get a home playoff match.”

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Rays 8, Yankees 7: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays clinched the AL wild card with a stunning rally, overcoming a late sevenrun deficit and then beating New York on Evan Longoria’s home run in the 12th inning. Longoria hit a three-run homer in the eighth that capped a six-run burst. Pinch-hitter Dan Johnson’s two-out, two-strike solo homer in the ninth tied it for Tampa Bay. Longoria won it with a one-out shot barely inside the left-field foul pole. Tampa Bay will open the playoffs Friday at Texas.

• Orioles 4, Red Sox 3: BALTIMORE — The Red Sox completed their September collapse in horrific and historic fashion, falling out of the playoff chase by allowing two ninth-inning runs. The Orioles won the game in the ninth against Jonathan Papelbon (4-1), who struck out the first two batters before giving up a double to Chris Davis. Nolan Reimold followed with a double to score pinch-runner Kyle Hudson, and Robert Andino completed the comeback with a single to left that Carl Crawford couldn’t glove.

• Rangers 3, Angels 1: ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Napoli broke a tie in the ninth inning with his fourth homer in two games, and Texas finally clinched home-field advantage in the AL division series.

Napoli, the longtime Angels catcher, also homered in the second inning as the Rangers set a franchise record with their 96th victory — including six straight heading into the postseason.

• Tigers 5, Indians 4: DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera singled and doubled, wrapping up the American League batting title, and Jhonny Peralta hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth for Detroit.

Cabrera entered the day hitting .343, five points ahead of Michael Young of Texas and Adrian Gonzalez of Boston. He raised his average another point against the Indians, and the other two were unable to catch him.

• Twins 1, Royals 0: MINNEAPOLIS — Trevor Plouffe’s RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning helped Minnesota stave off a 100-loss season.

• Blue Jays 3, White Sox 2: CHICAGO — Chris Sale issued a pair of bases-loaded walks in the ninth inning, sending the White Sox to the loss.

• Athletics 2, Mariners 0: SEATTLE — Gio Gonzalez pitched eight innings of two-hit ball, leading Oakland to the victory. The Mariners and A’s will see each other again on March 28 and 29 in Tokyo as they will become the latest teams to open a season playing in Japan.

• Cardinals 8, Astros 0: HOUSTON — Chris Carpenter and St. Louis completed one of the more remarkable comebacks in baseball history, clinching the NL wild card with a win over Houston and a later loss by Atlanta. St. Louis trailed Atlanta by 10½ games on Aug. 25. The Cardinals won 23 of their last 31 games. The Cardinals will open the postseason on Saturday at NL East champion Philadelphia. Carpenter (11-9) struck out 11 and allowed two hits in his 15th career completegame shutout as St. Louis kept up its improbable September charge. Houston took a 5-0 lead in the first inning against Brett Myers (7-14).

• Phillies 4, Braves 3: ATLANTA — Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel surrendered the tying run in the ninth, and Hunter Pence came through with a two-out, run-scoring single in the 13th to give Philadelphia the win that ended the Braves’ season without a trip to the playoffs that looked like a certainty just a few weeks ago.

• Brewers 7, Pirates 3: MILWAUKEE — Zack Greinke capped a perfect season at home to help Milwaukee clinch home-field advantage in the first round of playoffs. Carlos Gomez, Corey Hart and Jonathan Lucroy homered for the Brewers, who set a franchise record with 96 wins and open an NL division series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park on Saturday.

• Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 5: PHOENIX — Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer to become the first Dodger in 70 years to lead the NL in home runs and RBIs. Kemp hit his 39th homer in the seventh to pass Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder for the league lead and finished with 126 RBIs. • Mets 3, Reds 0: NEW YORK — Jose Reyes bunted for a base hit in the first inning against Cincinnati and was lifted for a pinch-runner but it was enough to give him the NL batting title with a .337 average.

• Rockies 6, Giants 3: SAN FRANCISCO — Kevin Kouzmanoff had three hits and drove in two runs and Colorado sent the reigning World Series champions into an early offseason.

• Nationals 3, Marlins 1: MIAMI — Stephen Strasburg allowed one hit and struck out 10 in six scoreless innings to earn his first win since July 2010, and Florida bid its stadium goodbye.

• Padres 9, Cubs 2: SAN DIEGO — Will Venable hit his first career grand slam and Nick Hundley hit a three-run shot to lift the normally punchless San Diego to a season-ending victory.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

NFL

Contenders, perhaps, but with clear flaws

For A’s, small market teams, life imitates art in ‘Moneyball’

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

Baseball’s regular season was supposed to end Wednesday, with the Oakland A’s once again mired in mediocrity in the AL West.

Not exactly the best time to glorify the concept of “Moneyball,” but Hollywood waits for no team.

As baseball movies go, one based on complicated statistical formulas was a tough sell to begin with. “Bull Durham” this isn’t, not with the female lead a precocious 12-year-old who tells her father on the way to the airport one day that she’s worried that he might get fired.

Dad — in this case Brad Pitt playing A’s general manager Billy Beane — replies that she should worry about more important things: “You’re going on an airplane. Those things crash all the time.”

If you haven’t seen “Moneyball” already, go without fear that your eyes will glaze over at the mention of OBP, OPS or even OOPS. The equations are simplified, the plot isn’t complicated and the portrayal of scouts as bumbling old relics of the past is worth the price of admission by itself.

Basically, the concept behind the movie — and the book before it — boils it down to this: If a batter has a high on-base percentage — whether through hits or walks — he’s worth more than the other teams think. The nerdy stat guy who majored in economics at Yale convinces Beane of this, and it’s off to the races for the 2002 A’s.

If you’re looking for a Hollywood ending, there is none. The A’s win a record 20 in a row — capped by the obligatory home run by the one guy the nerdy stat guy really wanted — only to fall short once again in the playoffs.

By then, even the nerdy stat guy seems to be figuring out that numbers aren’t everything, even in baseball.

Unfortunately for Beane and the A’s, life continues to parallel art in Oakland. The A’s have made the playoffs only twice since that 103-win season, and haven’t had a winning record the past five years. The wonders of OBP notwithstanding, they scored nearly 20 percent fewer runs this season than they did during that magical year.

Not all of that is the fault of the nerdy stat guy (based on current New York Mets vice president Paul DePodesta and played brilliantly by Jonah Hill). Other teams — the Red Sox in particular — adopted some of the same concepts, and suddenly there was competition in the market for the kind of undervalued role players who served the A’s so well.

But while the “Moneyball” story line is compelling, the real story in Oakland at the time had less to do with Scott Hatteberg and his .374 OBP than the serious stock of talent the A’s put on the field. Yes, they lost Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi from the season to the hated Red Sox and Yankees, but Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez both hit 34 home runs, and Barry Zito won 23 games for a deep pitching staff that included Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder.

And, if on-base percentage really means that much, how did the A’s finish fifth in that category in 2002 and still tie the Yankees for the most wins in baseball? If OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) is the greatest discovery in baseball since chewing tobacco, why were the A’s sixth in the league and still able to win 103 games?

I would tell you, but my baseball calculator quit working a long time ago. Get past batting average and ERA, and I’m pretty much lost.

Numbers, of course, have been a part of baseball even longer than some of the bumbling old school scouts who help make “Moneyball” so much fun. It wasn’t until Bill James got hold of them and turned them into sabermetricians, though, that the numbers went past the rudimentary batting and earned run averages into territory where the scouts fear to tread.

The numbers have their place, though I can’t recall having a serious discussion with anyone at any ballpark about VORP (value over replacement player) or other newly minted stats.

I’d rather talk about the way Prince Fielder can go opposite field, or how Clayton Kershaw’s curveball is so wicked that Dodger announcer Vin Scully labeled it “Public Enemy No. 1.”

And they can only show so much because they are, after all, just numbers. I believe WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) is a good measure of a pitcher’s effectiveness, but it doesn’t measure the heart of a pitcher who always looks for help from the bullpen before walking to the mound in the seventh inning.

And I’m sure Kirk Gibson had a great OPS in 1988, but that doesn’t tell you how he somehow managed to limp to the plate in the ninth inning to hit one of the most memorable home runs in baseball history.

Bottom line is small-market teams can’t win consistently, no matter how many numbers they crunch. The deck is stacked against them by the most important numbers in baseball — the size of a team’s payroll.

Unless that is fixed, teams like the A’s are destined to be one-hit wonders. The stars may occasionally align and reward them with a good season or two, but year to year they simply can’t compete with teams handing out cash like Halloween candy.

They’re destined to remain, as Pitt says in the movie, “organ donors for the rich.”

“Moneyball” is a pleasant surprise, a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously yet succeeds on many levels.

Too bad the A’s of today aren’t nearly as entertaining.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander won pitching’s Triple Crown, leading the American League in wins, strikeouts and ERA.

Verlander still rolling as Tigers eye playoffs Detroit pitcher likely has Cy Young wrapped up after a stellar season

By Noah Trister The Associated Press

DETROIT — It was early May, and the Detroit Tigers were struggling a bit. They were below .500, several games behind in the American League Central. For a team that hadn’t reached the playoffs since 2006, pressure was mounting.

Then Justin Verlander became nearly unbeatable.

The Tigers ended up winning the division in a runaway, and it was Verlander who helped them back into contention after that tepid start. The 28year-old right-hander wrapped up his regular season last weekend, submitting the following numbers for Cy Young and even MVP consideration: a 24-5 record, a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts.

Since his no-hitter at Toronto on May 7 — a performance that was more of a prologue than a peak — Verlander is 22-2. When the playoffs start this week, he’ll have center stage as baseball’s new star, testing himself in the postseason spotlight with the likes of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Philadelphia’s stellar starting rotation.

“The guy is a true ace,” said Cleveland manager Manny Acta, whose Indians led the AL Central early on before Verlander and the Tigers made their move. “It’s a guy that’s going to be out there minimum seven innings because he can throw 120, 130 pitches without losing any of his fastball or any of his pitches. There’s no advice — you’ve got your work cut out, regardless of who you are or how tough your lineup is.”

When the Angels scratched Jered Weaver from his final start of the season, it all but wrapped up a pitching triple crown for Verlander, the AL leader in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Look beyond those traditional stats, and the picture is no less impressive. Opponents hit .192 against Verlander. He’s also pitched a league-leading 251 innings, lasting at least six innings and 100 pitches in every one of his 34 starts.

“That’s the definition of a horse,” manager Jim Leyland said.

It seems like a foregone conclusion that Verlander

will win the AL Cy Young Award. The question is whether he’ll be the Most Valuable Player too. No starting pitcher has won that honor since Roger Clemens in 1986.

That year, Clemens went 24-4 with a 2.48 ERA and 238 strikeouts, statistics awfully similar to Verlander’s.

A perfectionist on the mound with a jumpy personality, Verlander takes pride in everything he’s accomplished this year, including some less glamorous areas of improvement. For example, despite reaching a career high in innings, Verlander walked only 57 hitters, his lowest total for a full season.

“That’s why I think you see the rest of the numbers improved upon,” he said. “That comes with better control and all that. Balls hit in play that aren’t hit as sharply because I’m hitting my corners — just little things like that.”

That improved control — plus a 6-foot-5, 225pound frame — made Verlander a tough pitcher to wear down. Even if the opposition makes him throw a lot of pitches early, all he needs is a few quick outs.

Then he’ll be right there in the late innings again, reaching triple digits on the radar gun.

“He’s not a guy that at 100 (pitches) he loses his effectiveness. He’s going to be out there for 130 if he has to,” Acta said. “He’s one of those rare cases. He’s just a terrific pitcher.”

As sensational as Verlander’s season has been, it’s all in the past now. His only other postseason appearance came in 2006, and Verlander, running out of steam at the end of his first full season in the big leagues, wasn’t at his best.

He’s hoping for a better performance this time. He feels stronger physically, and there’s certainly no sign of any letdown. The only differences between Verlander’s next start and all his previous trips to the mound this year are the stakes and the level of competition. If he pitches the way he’s capable, Detroit will be tough to beat.

If there’s one player in baseball who doesn’t need to change anything, it’s Verlander.

“I’m trying to keep it as normal as possible. I’m trying to treat this like we’re just rolling into another regular-season start,” Verlander said. “I know once it gets close I’m going to get a little more excited. I’m just trying to stay in my routine so that everything is similar.”

Green Bay looks to be the class of the NFL for now, but several of the other preseason favorites to win the Super Bowl had their flaws on full display Sunday.

Patriots: New England’s defense has allowed 1,406 yards in its first three games, the fifthworst mark for a team since 1970. But yardage totals aside, there is a reason the 34-31 loss to Buffalo felt different: Tom Brady and the Patriots do not lose shootouts to anyone but the Colts.

During the Brady/Bill Belichick era, the Patriots had been 61-2 when scoring at least 30 points, with both losses coming to Peyton Manning and Indianapolis. The Patriots’ video-game-like offensive numbers in the first two games had everyone thinking it was 2007 again; the better comparison may be the 2000 St. Louis Rams.

They passed for more yards than any other team in league history, but the defense (last in points allowed) prevented a Super Bowl repeat.

Jets: Rex Ryan’s defense never allowed more than 153 rushing yards in his first 34 games with the Jets. The worst the Jets had been outrushed came in Week 3 in 2009, when the Tennessee Titans gained 44 more rushing yards. On Sunday, the Oakland Raiders rushed for 234 yards and outrushed the Jets by 134. During Ryan’s 10 seasons as a defensive assistant in Baltimore, the high-water mark was 207 rushing yards gained by the 2008 Giants.

Eagles: The offensive line is a weakness; it also was not very good last year, but Michael Vick was able to hide a lot of its deficiencies.

On defense, ends Trent Cole and Jason Babin are elite rushers, and Asante Samuel and Nnamdi Asomugha are among the best cornerbacks in the league. But none of those players line up in the middle. Philadelphia is below average across the board at linebacker. Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez caught seven passes for 83 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 2, and Michael Turner rushed 21 times for 114 yards. The middle of the defense did not fare any better Sunday: the Giants’ Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs combined for 200 yards and two touchdowns on 29 combined touches.

The Eagles’ struggles in short-yardage situations against the Giants called to mind the frustrating Andy Reid teams from the Donovan McNabb era, not any sort of dream team.

Falcons: Through three games this season, Atlanta has trailed by 24, 10 and 13 points entering the third quarter. Atlanta was not as good as its record last season, but the Falcons are not going to be trailing by double digits every weekend this year, either. Expect something more in the middle, but hopes of a Super Bowl season in Atlanta have seemed too rosy from the start. Its pass defense is still the team’s Achilles heel, and the pass offense is not nearly as good as many seem to think it is. Since the start of last season, the Falcons rank 24th in net yards per pass attempt.

Steelers: The defensive line of Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton and Brett Keisel is a combined 102 years old. All four members of the secondary are in their 30s, and James Farrior and James Harrison add another 69 years of life experience. Injuries have begun to pile up (Keisel and cornerback Bryant McFadden missed the Colts game). Pittsburgh’s offensive line has been a weak point for years. On Sunday, Pittsburgh lost Marcus Gilbert, Doug Legursky and Jonathan Scott at points in the game to injuries. The offensive line is not talented or deep, and it seems only a matter of time before the Steelers’ offense grinds to a halt.

Baseball Continued from D1 Boston and Tampa Bay were tied for the AL wildcard spot, Atlanta and St. Louis even for the NL wild-card slot, not a single postseason pairing set.

Turned out, it took at least three TVs to watch what followed.

“I think it’s really good for baseball,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said, much earlier. “Not so good for my stomach.”

Minute by minute, inning by inning, the races took shape, only to then suddenly fall apart. But when Evan Longoria hit his second home run of the game, connecting after midnight at Tropicana Field in the 12th inning to lift the Rays over the Yankees 8-7, everything was all set.

Tampa Bay at Texas on Friday in Game 1, Detroit visiting the Yankees that night in the opener of their AL playoff series.

“I can barely breathe, to be honest with you. It doesn’t seem real,” Longoria said.

St. Louis begins it best-of-five matchup at Philadelphia on Saturday, with Arizona at Milwaukee opening the same day.

“Even though we were in the playoffs, it’s been exciting still just knowing you’re making it and you still had to play for home field,” Brewers ace Zack Greinke said. “It was good.”

So, no one-game tiebreakers needed. Pretty nifty way to wrap up things, too, under the current postseason format. Next year, it’s expected that each league will produce a pair of wild-card teams.

The Red Sox will have all winter to lament how they lost.

Boston held a nine-game lead over Tampa Bay on the morning of Sept. 4, but finished 7-20. The Red Sox became the first team to miss the postseason after holding that large of a lead entering September.

Closer Jonathan Papelbon took a 3-2 lead into the ninth at Camden Yards and struck out the first two batters and was later one strike away for ending it. But Chris Davis and Nolan Reimold followed

Boston Red Sox third baseman Mike Aviles, left, looks back at members of the Baltimore Orioles as they celebrate their 4-3 win in Wednesday’s game in Baltimore. Boston was eliminated from the playoffs after the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees in extra innings minutes after Boston’s loss. doubles that tied it and Robert Andino hit a single that sliding left fielder Carl Crawford couldn’t quite glove to win it for the Orioles 4-3.

The ball that escaped Crawford was much harder to field than the one that rolled under Bill Buckner’s glove so many years earlier, but no doubt Red Sox fans will cringe at the memory of both.

“End of season like this, to make Boston go home sad, crying, I’ll take it all day,” Andino said.

The Rays, meanwhile, rallied from a 7-0 deficit, tying the Yankees when pinch-hitter Dan Johnson — the guy barely batting .100 — lined a solo homer with two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning.

A roar erupted at Tropicana Field when the Boston

loss was posted on the scoreboard. Four minutes later, Longoria homered barely inside the left-field foul pole.

The Cardinals, who trailed the Braves by 10½ games before play on Aug. 26, made it easy on themselves as Carpenter pitched them to an 8-0 win at Houston.

An hour or so later, St. Louis was in the playoffs when the Braves blew it. Philadelphia nicked closer Craig Kimbrel for a tying run in the ninth and won 4-3 in the 13th at Turner Field.

“This is tough,” Braves catcher Brian McCann said. “This is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had coming off a baseball field.”

Wide receivers may outshine quarterbacks for once in Pac-12

By Bud Withers The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — n preseason camp, I got a good look at Washington State’s receiving corps, particularly Marquess Wilson and Jared Karstetter.

And then at Washington, where the Jermaine Kearse-Devin Aguilar combination was buttressed by a rebounding James Johnson and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

And then last Saturday at Husky Stadium, California unleashed Keenan Allen and Marvin Jones, who were as good a 1-2 combination on that day as I’ve seen in years in this league.

“They’re pretty good,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said with a little laugh of admiration for the Bears’ wideouts as he recalled Cal’s early series against Washington. “Third and (20), and all of a sudden, it’s 90 yards going the other way.”

On it goes. While some observers are fixated on the quarterbacks in the Pac-12 — six of whom have efficiency ratings of 150 or better — I’m guessing the hidden factor in that explosion is the receivers.

The league might be more flush at the position than at any time in its history.

“It seems like it’s always been this way,” says Colorado coach Jon Embree. “It seems like it’s always been a wide receiver-quarterback conference. You’re going to go against the best of the best every week.”

That’s only partly true. The quarterbacks of the conference have usually tended to dominate the conversation, while the receivers have generally been lesser lights — a trend often underscored when they move to the NFL. When Cal’s Aaron Rodgers was the all-Pac-10 quarterback in 2004, the all-league receivers were understated Mike Hass of Oregon State and Geoff McArthur of Cal. In 2008, when USC’s Mark Sanchez won the all-league quarterback honor, the wideouts

California’s Keenan Allen, left, leads the nation in receiving yards with 498. were Mike Thomas of Arizona and Sammie Stroughter of OSU. That might be about to change.

USC’s Robert Woods leads the nation with 41 catches, and Trojans coach Lane Kiffin has even been criticized for leaning on him too much. WSU’s Wilson broke touchdowns for 80 and 78 yards against San Diego State.

Paul Richardson of Colorado put up 284 yards of receiving yardage in an overtime loss against Cal, and early this week he tweeted, “I put up some bum numbers these

past two games, so this week against Washington State should be interesting.”

Wilson, Allen, Woods and Richardson form an all-sophomore foursome leading the league in receiving yardage per game. Allen leads the nation in total receiving yards.

Meanwhile, pass-happy Arizona has had four different receivers with 100-yard games, one of whom, Juron Criner, is getting back into form after undergoing an appendectomy early this month.

Likewise, Oregon State should get a lift with the return of another former all-league receiver in James Rodgers.

Other top receivers include Chris Owusu of Stanford, Aaron Pflugrad of ASU, and some capable guys at UCLA whose quarterbacks often can’t get them the ball.

“Whenever the quarterbacks are throwing well, it’s probably because you’ve got a good group of receivers,” says Oregon’s Kelly.

“Overall, the talent level at receiver is pretty good right now.”

Looking ahead to new pigskin classics

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — radition is obviously overrated. Nostalgia is for saps.

“If memories were all I sang,” Rick Nelson once sang, “I’d rather drive a truck.”

You’d think history might mean more in a sport that produced “Win One for the Gipper,” but this is no time to be taking sentimental journeys.

Before the Pacific 12 Conference called off the expansion malamutes last week, conference realignment directors were prepared to tear asunder the Apple Cup core of some of its most ancient rituals.

Before he was all for the Big 12 staying together, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops seemed perfectly fine with divorcing Texas and the Red River Rivalry.

“I don’t think it’s necessary,” Stoops said in early September.

“No one wants to hear that, but life changes.”

The realignment pullback, thankfully, spared many traditional games from the scrapbook heap, but some are in limbo.

Texas A&M’s wedding announcement to the Southeastern Conference this week, the church date set for next year, could end its annual Thanksgiving weekend classic against Texas.

The series dates to 1894, but so what? Only two other rivals have played more than the 117 times the Longhorns and Aggies have met, but life changes.

“People mark their calendars for that ballgame,” Texas A&M

T

Deer Continued from D1 “We’ll have to maintain that for three years before we can increase the tags again,” Eden said.

“Hunters are pretty pleased with that unit.”

Eden added that ODFW biologists are starting to see larger bucks in the Maury Unit, but about 60 percent of the bucks in the Ochoco District are smaller yearlings with forked horns.

The buck ratio for the Ochoco Unit is 18 bucks per 100 does, and 19 bucks per 100 does in the Grizzly Unit. Both of those ratios well exceed ODFW management ob-

coach Mike Sherman acknowledged Monday during the Big 12 coaches’ conference call. “It will be a passing that will be sad, but new rivalries come up, and you start circling other games on the calendar, I guess.”

If Texas A&M’s move to the SEC forces Auburn to the East Division, Tennessee vs. Alabama might mess with that annual bloodbath.

If Missouri eventually joins the SEC, will that end its Border War rivalry with Kansas?

Pittsburgh’s departure from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference might end, or certainly complicate, its Backyard Brawl game with West Virginia.

Maybe they move the series to the start of the season the way they moved the Holy War, this year, between Utah and Brigham Young.

The Big 12’s split-division format put Oklahoma and Nebraska on life support.

A great series was officially pronounced dead when Nebraska moved to the Big Ten. Remember, though, only puppy lovers stop and smell the Rose Bowl.

Nebraska makes its Big Ten Conference debut Saturday against Wisconsin. The schools haven’t met since 1974. Everybody’s marking their calendars.

There is a fresh-scrubbed newness to it all.

“I’ve never been to Madison,” Nebraska senior safety Austin Cassidy said this week. “I can’t wait.”

Maybe someday, 100 years from now, people will look back at this Wisconsin-Nebraska game start-

jectives, Eden noted.

About 70 percent of the Grizzly Unit is on private lands, making access difficult for hunters, who must receive landowner permission to hunt on private lands. The hunter success rate was about 40 percent in the unit during last year’s rifle buck season. The success rate was 45 percent in the less-hunted Maury Unit, and it was 23 percent in the Ochoco Unit.

Eden observed that archery hunters struggled this September, as deer and elk were fairly inactive in the heat.

“I haven’t talked to too many successful archers,” she said.

Buck ratios are near or above management objectives in the

ing the tradition of “The AlvarezOsborne Goblet” Or “Battle for the Old Barn Door.”

It’s just a progressive way of looking at things.

Think of the possibilities conference realignment might produce:

Pac-12 Utah vs. Washington State: “The Boxcar Bowl.” Teams commute via train to honor historical ties to the railroad industry. Pullman was founded by George Pullman, who invented the Pullman sleeping car.

Utah’s Promontory Summit, in 1869, was the site where the “Last Spike” completed the Transcontinental Railroad.

Be careful, though: Hoisting that “Railroad Tie” keepsake could cause a hernia.

USC vs. Utah: “Settle the Scorebook Bowl.” Imagine these proud Pac-12 South rivals fighting it out every year to win the same game by the score of 17-14 or 23-14.

SEC Missouri vs. Arkansas: “The Other Border War.” Kansas, you know, isn’t the only state that saddles up next to Missouri.

Texas A&M vs. Arkansas: “The Over Our Head Jug.” The tradition of this game’s winner swigging pond water out of a soup kettle would continue until one of the schools wins its first SEC championship. Arkansas joined in 1992.

ACC Pittsburgh vs. Wake Forest:

Deschutes District, which comprises the Metolius, Upper Deschutes and Paulina units.

According to ODFW wildlife biologist Steve George, the buck ratio in the Metolius Unit is 27 bucks per 100 does. The ratio is 15 bucks per 100 does in the Upper Deschutes and Paulina units.

In all three units, decent numbers of mature and yearling bucks should be available relative to the population size, George said.

But the biologist added that hot, dry and dusty conditions could make hunters noisy, potentially spooking the deer.

“Conditions don’t look like they will improve much,” George said.

“They will be favorable to deer.

“Battle for the Carnegie/Walter Raleigh Spittoon.” If Pitt wins, the mayor of Winston-Salem pays off with 10 cartons of Winston-Salems. If Wake wins, Pittsburgh’s mayor has to export a top-quality support beam.

Winning team receives: “The Tungsten Trophy.”

Losing team gets: “Surgeon General’s Cup.”

Big East Connecticut vs. Texas Christian: Forget Paul Bunyan’s Axe (Minnesota/Wisconsin). Ponder: “Sam Clemens’ Pen vs. Sam Houston’s Gun.” This dysfunctional battle of geographic/cultural misfits manifests a spirited rivalry and a successful student foreign-exchange program.

Mountain West Hawaii vs. New Mexico: “The Pineapple Johnny Appleseed Magellan GPS Bell.”

Hawaii has one more year in the Western Athletic Conference before this anticipated sea/land excursion can be christened on the S.S. Minnow. One tradition that could develop: visiting teams departing as soon as the schedule comes out.

So, do as Mike Sherman says, go and ahead and mark your calendars. Embrace the new, emerging landscape. Be mindful that rivalries take time to develop.

Some people, back in 1899, had to warm up to Colorado State vs.

Wyoming (The Bronze Boot).

Look what that is now.

They (deer) are very active in morning and evening. But there’s virtually no activity past 9 or 10 in the morning.”

Hunter success rates during last year’s rifle buck season were 13 percent in the Upper Deschutes Unit, 18 percent in the Paulina Unit and 32 percent in the Metolius Unit, all fairly typical rates for the past several years. The Metolius Unit is limited to fewer than 500 hunters, while the Upper Deschutes and Paulina units each has more than 2,000.

Most of the deer in the Metolius Unit are located in the western portion of the unit, George said.

The ODFW is reminding hunters that cash rewards are offered

Continued from D1 After the game, he wouldn’t take full credit.

“I’m just really happy with the way the line blocked; without those guys I wouldn’t be anything,” he told reporters. “I’m really happy with those guys. I feel like that record should be called the University of Oregon offensive line and LaMichael James record.”

Ducks coach Chip Kelly said this week that the unselfish response was typical of James.

“He truly doesn’t care if he runs for 280 or 28. It’s about the team,” Kelly said, “and he’ll be the first to tell you the only awards he’s concerned with are team awards.”

James’ numbers at Arizona — he finished with 363 all-purpose yards — contrasted with his performance in the Ducks’ season-opening loss to LSU, when he managed only 54 yards.

Some suggested that the 20 pounds he put on in the offseason were slowing him down.

Granted, the Tigers’ defense held him back, but what was not apparent on the surface was that James was also doing other things for the Ducks. He caught six passes for 61 yards, and he was helping out on kick returns while Cliff Harris was suspended. He finished with 132 all-purpose yards.

In the next game, a 69-20 rout of Nevada, James showed dimension again, running for a touchdown, catching a touchdown pass and returning a punt for another score. He finished with 181 all-purpose yards, but his efforts were somewhat overlooked because of a breakout performance by true freshman De’Anthony Thomas, who caught a pair of touchdown passes.

James’ name began to get reinserted into this season’s Heisman Trophy conversation when he ran for 204 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon’s 56-7 victory over Missouri State. One of his scores was a 90-yard dash for the second-longest run in UO history.

James said the questions about him early this season — like his weight dragging him down — have only served to inspire him. He has rushed for 492 yards in his past two games.

“I love it. I wish more people would write things about me,” he said. “Because everybody’s on the outside looking in, but who really knows? It’s great motivation, but that stuff really doesn’t matter too much because I have the team, and they have my back.”

A junior, James has 3,890 career rushing yards, ranking him sixth on the Pac-12 career list behind Washington’s Napoleon Kaufman, who had 4,106 (1991-94). James has an Oregon-record 43 touchdown runs.

Last season, some speculated that James might bolt for the NFL. Chatter about an early departure from Oregon will no doubt be renewed as the season goes on. But for right now, James is all about the Ducks.

“I just want to keep winning. That’s the most important thing to me. At the end of the season I’ll look back at those records and I’ll be like, ‘Wow. I really did that,’” he said. “But the most important thing to me is to keep winning.”

The Ducks (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) have this weekend off before hosting California (3-1, 0-1) in a Thursday night game on Oct. 6.

Beavers Continued from D1 With Malcolm Agnew missing a second game because of a hamstring injury, they did not run the ball well, gaining just 88 yards on the ground.

Sean Mannion was 24 of 40 for 287 yards, but he threw an interception and also set up the Bruins for a touchdown when he fumbled at his own 5-yard line.

The Bruins (2-2, 1-0 Pac-12) attempted just 12 passes all day — there was no need with the Beavers unable to slow the run game. Starting UCLA tailback Johnathan Franklin went out with an injury early in the second quarter, but backup Derrick Coleman ran for 100 yards on 20 carries and the Bruins managed 211 overall.

After falling behind 21-3, Oregon State seemed to take back the momentum late in the third when Mannion found Jordan Bishop for a 45-yard touchdown reception to cut the lead to 2119. However, a false start penalty on the two-point conversion marched the Beavers five yards back and Mannion threw an interception on the second try.

With the chance to take the lead in the fourth and the ball in UCLA territory, running back Terron Ward was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-one when the Beavers misblocked on the play.

“That isn’t Beaver football,” said cornerback Jordan Poyer, whose 85-yard punt return for a touchdown before halftime was one of the bright spots.

Keeping the discouragement from spiraling out of control will be the first order of business when the Beavers reconvene at practices this week.

“That’s always the battle,” Riley said. “That’s always the challenge, but I’ve got a sense they are going to be fighting. It’s a reality that’s there hitting them in the face that you’re either going to quit or you are going to say, ‘OK, this is what we can still do.’ ” There are reasons to be optimistic.

Mannion was productive in his first career start, and he benefited from the return of flanker James Rodgers and tight end Joe Halahuni, who both missed the season’s first two games with injuries. Saturday should see the return of defensive tackle Castro Masaniai, who was sorely missed while serving a onegame suspension, and Agnew, who ran for 223 yards in the Beavers season opener.

The Sun Devils (3-1, 1-0) made the Trojans their second nationally ranked victim after Missouri. Cameron Marshall ran for 141 yards on 25 carries and three touchdowns, while Brock Osweiler completed 25 of 32 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. The defense also features ferocious junior linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

Plainly, the Beavers are going to need to put together a much better performance against Arizona State than they have yet mustered.

Riley said he was optimistic about his team’s ability to improve as the season goes on. That has been a trait of his teams in the past, but no Riley team has ever started with three straight losses.

“We had a lot of good stuff out there. We just need to put it all together,” Mannion said.

to individuals who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of poachers. The number for the Turn-In-Poachers (TIP) program is 1-800-452-7888, and the e-mail address is TIP@state. or.us.

Hunters should also remember that the new “hunter orange” rule is in effect: Hunters younger than age 18 must wear a bright-orange upper garment or hat while using a firearm to hunt game mammals and upland birds, except turkeys.

The local wildlife biologists added that hunters should be aware of fire danger before setting out into the field. Hunters should check with the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service, as both agencies can

adopt fire restrictions.

Deer season: the rule of 90/10

E C

Employing the right tools of the trade can make a big difference during a hunt GARY LEWIS

O

ne old deer hunter’s adage says that 90 percent of the deer harvest every year is taken by 10 percent of the hunters.

If you would rather be lucky than good, it pays to hunt the best areas in your hunting unit. There is no better way to tip the odds in your favor than to hunt with a good map.

In October, the mule deer are at the peak of their condition. Bucks are bulking up for the rut in November and the months of cold ahead. Solitary, gray-muzzled males stake out long ridgelines and bed about two-thirds of the way up the hillside to monitor the wind and watch the horizon.

Other bucks connect with a small herd of females or younger bucks to use the eyes of the group to guard against predators.

Deer need food, water, a bedding area and escape cover. All four necessities can be located on a good topographic map. Besides roads, trails and landmarks, topo maps show surface features, springs, streams, vegetation and contour lines. Each line represents a specific elevation with changes shown in 40, 200 or 400 intervals.

The relative spacing of the contours shows the steepness of the terrain. If the lines are spread out, the elevation change is gradual. If the lines are close, it’s going to be steep.

Tilt the map the right way and the image begins to take on an almost 3-D effect that shows the canyons and the ridge tops. Contour lines can be used to determine the direction a stream is running as well. A V-point in the contour lines always points upstream.

On my topo map, the Eastern Oregon desert country I’m hunting shows up white with patches of green that represent stands of juniper, mountain mahogany and

bitterbrush. In the desert, green often points to the better feeding areas and denser cover where some desert mule deer like to bed.

In forested country, the maps are dominated by green with patches of white that indicate prairies and meadows. Regardless of where you hunt, the best places are at the edge, transitions where forest gives way to desert, where meadows and prairie butt up to timber.

This year, expect to find water in ponds that have been dry for years and look for streams to be running with water where water hasn’t been in previous Octobers.

Deer are likely to be spread out.

It may be more important than ever to locate the little springs and seeps that other hunters may not know about. You won’t find that kind of detail on a BLM map or in a state atlas or a county road map.

Topo maps are available locally at Bend Mapping. Base Image (www.baseimage.net) offers a new Oregon Backcountry Atlas with 3D topos of every hunting unit in the state and the option of getting a 3D topo with the corresponding aerial photo on the facing page.

One of the best ways to hunt the edge is to take a stand. It is almost always better to sit in one place and let the deer move around you. Instead of wearing out your boots, let your binoculars and your spotting scope cover the miles. In timbered country, find a high spot with a view into one or two openings and let other hunters push deer toward you.

When the weather is warm, deer are not likely to move as much as they will later in the season. Two hunters can work together to push a small patch of cover. The first hunter eases in to take a position to watch several openings, while the second one circles the edges. The buck is likely to sneak away into a crossing wind or put his back to the breeze so he can smell what’s behind him and see what’s ahead.

Still-hunting is the most exciting and the hardest way to

The hunter goes solo with the wind in his face. Every step opens new windows into the habitat. Standing still for a minute or more, the hunter examines every detail with an eye for the horizontal line of a back, the crook of a back leg, the flick of an ear or the reflection of light on nut-brown antler.

FISHING REPORT

Deer still scattered throughout Ochocos Fall River remains consistent for anglers Here is the weekly hunting report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by wildlife biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE OPEN: Rifle deer (Opens Oct. 1, controlled tag), cougar, bear, forest grouse and mountain quail (Wasco and Hood River counties only), mourning dove (Sept. 1-30).

Hunters should check fire restrictions before hunting. Some roads are closed or fire restrictions in effect.

See Oregon Fires on InciWeb or check the appropriate U.S. Forest Service website or the Oregon Department of Forestry website for more information.

Hunters age 17 and under must wear a fluorescent orange upper garment or hat when hunting upland game birds (except turkey) and game mammals (deer, elk, bear, cougar, pronghorn, goat, sheep, western gray squirrel) with a firearm.

PRINEVILLE/OCHOCO WILDLIFE DISTRICT DEER RIFLE SEASON: Hunters can expect cooler temperatures with favorable hunting conditions during the opening weekend. No open fires or generators are permitted in dispersed camping sites on the Ochoco National Forest, but are permitted in

designated areas. Deer are scattered throughout their summer range and with a majority in the upper elevations. Deer will use the northfacing slopes and deep canyons if the weather turns hot and dry. It is predicted that hunter success will be higher this year compared to previous years with increased buck numbers in the Ochoco, Grizzly and Maury units.

COUGAR: Are present throughout the Maury, Ochoco and Grizzly units, but are more likely near deer and antelope. Deer and pronghorn have dispersed to higher elevations, and cougars will have followed. The Maury and Ochoco units are recommended because of their greater amounts of accessible public land. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days of harvest. Please consult the synopsis for all required parts and be sure to call first to make an appointment.

COYOTES: Offer an exciting challenge and, like cougars, will be closely associated with deer and antelope.

Hunters should scout and closely monitor movements of doe deer and antelope as the young are a key prey item, and coyotes will likely be close by. Both the Maury and Ochoco have sizeable areas of public lands that provide hunting opportunities. Hunters should use caution, be properly equipped and prepared for whatever the weather might bring.

GROUND SQUIRRELS: Are active in agricultural fields throughout Crook

and Jefferson counties. Higher numbers are in Crook County on private lands along the Crooked River between Prineville and Paulina. Permission from landowners is necessary to access and hunt these lands.

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

THE DALLES WILDLIFE DISTRICT DEER: Rifle seasons open Oct. 1 (controlled hunts). A wet spring and good snow pack provided good forage and healthy animals throughout the remaining portions of the district. The Dollar Lake fire north of Mt. Hood has closed portions of USFS and industrial timberland.

BEAR: Season opened Aug. 1 statewide.

Focus on berry patches and grassy/ forb patches to get a bear; predator calls can also be effective. Hunters are required to check in bear within 10 days of harvest; see the regulations for details.

COUGAR: Season is open. Hunters wishing to pursue cougar will find best success near areas of deer and elk concentrations and near recent cougar kills and calling. Successful hunters must check in cougar (hide and skull) and bear skull at an ODFW office within 10 days of harvest and bring them in unfrozen.

COYOTE: Those wishing to pursue will find the best success near agricultural lands. Be sure to ask permission to hunt private lands. Limited opportunities may also be found at White River Wildlife area, and on lower-elevation forest service lands.

CENTRAL ZONE BIG LAVA LAKE: Fishing has been good for both bait anglers and fly anglers using a leech pattern or a chironomid under an indicator.

CLEAR LAKE: Limited reports have indicated good fishing. Lake levels may be getting low due to irrigation withdrawals.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Bend): Fishing has been hit and miss, but patient anglers can find rainbows from 10 to 16 inches and even bigger browns. Fly fishers should consider caddis, PMDs and mahogany duns.

Grasshopper patterns also have been effective so don’t overlook terrestrials.

EAST LAKE: Reports of good rainbow trout fishing with a fly — stripping streamers or wind drifting callibaetis nymph.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Fishing remains a little hit and miss, but with big rewards for those who persist.

There are still many fish scattered in 5-9 feet of water, although fish are slightly more concentrated in the channels.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Flows have stabilized for the summer, resulting in better wading conditions (river flows near Prineville). The number of trout is down compared to the past couple of years, but there are still plenty of trout to be caught, with fish up to 20 inches long being reported.

CULTUS LAKE: Anglers have reported improved fishing.

DAVIS LAKE: Water is higher than normal, and fish are living in different habitats.

DESCHUTES RIVER (mouth to the Pelton

Regulating Dam): Good numbers of steelhead have passed over Sherars Falls, and there are reports of good fishing all the way up to South Junction.

kanee at 30 to 40 feet, and catches are averaging 13 to 14 inches.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE: Fishing for legal-size stocked fish continues to be good. All fishing restrictions — including daily bag limit and minimum size requirements — have been lifted until the lake closes to fishing on Oct. 24. The lake is scheduled to be treated with rotenone in late October to remove introduced bullhead.

WICKIUP RESERVOIR: No recent reports on kokanee fishing, but a few reports of stellar trout fishing for big rainbows.

Find It All Online

FALL RIVER: The Fall River has been offering some of the most consistently good fishing on any of the area rivers.

bendbulletin.com

HOSMER LAKE: The summer crowds have disappeared and fishing continues to be good at this fly-fishing-only lake. Anglers report good fishing with callibaetis, damsel nymph and traveling sedge patterns.

LITTLE LAVA LAKE: Fishing has been good.

METOLIUS RIVER: Fishing has been good thanks to several good hatches. In addition to green drakes, anglers should look for PMDs in the early afternoons, and mayfly spinners and caddis in the evenings. Golden stoneflies are still around in the upper sections above Allingham Bridge.

ODELL LAKE: Anglers are targeting ko-

Be prepared for hunters, changes in weather

By Lydia Hoffman The Bulletin

General trail conditions are still good, said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist, but make sure you have a raincoat and extra layers handy for the changing fall weather.

Whether you are heading out for a few hours or a few days, it is important to go out prepared during this season.

Accidents, injury, unexpected weather changes or getting lost could cause hikers to unintentionally spend the night in the wilderness. Be prepared for changing weather both in what you carry (warm clothing, extra food and water, a map, flashlight, first aid kit, etc.) and in choice of route or activity. Be sure you have the skill level necessary for whatever trails or climbs you attempt, said Sabo. “We’d like to keep search and rescue as uneventful as we can.”

General rifle hunting season opens Saturday. As a reminder for trail users, the majority of the Deschutes National Forest is open to hunters during this season.

I’m not sure that’s what my dog, Kaloo, was thinking as I readied for a hike along the Deschutes River on Friday. However, judging from his behavior, that 2-year-old border collie/black lab/possible Akita mutt seemed to be thinking something along these lines.

The plan: Meet Map Guy and head to Dillon Falls.

From there, we’d hike the Deschutes River Trail paralleling the river upstream, through the meadow, into the woods, dotted at various spots with beachlike entry points where any water-loving dog can fetch sticks or practice its dog-paddle stroke.

Chris Sabo, trails specialist for Deschutes National Forest, writes in his weekly trail report, “The seasonal dog leash regulations along the Deschutes River Corridor and in the high-use areas of the Three Sisters Wilderness ended Sept. 15 for this year. To avoid user conflict and reduce chances of pets becoming lost or chasing wildlife, please maintain voice or physical control of your dog at all times.”

Being constantly corrected wears on wife’s happiness Dear Abby: My husband, “Will,” and I have been married three years. It’s a good marriage on most levels, but what causes most of our problems is the way he treats me. Will always assumes his way is correct. When I do something around the house, he comes up behind me and redoes it — including refolding the clothes. He even corrects the way I speak and pronounce words.

It has gotten to the point that I have shut down. I don’t do much of anything around the house anymore because I figure it’s a waste of my time. Will gets angry and makes fun of my “laziness.”

How do I get through to him that some things aren’t worth making me feel miserable? When I try to explain how he makes me feel, he gets mad and pouts.

— Getting Tired of It in Texas Dear Getting Tired: From your description of your household, your relationship with your husband is NOT “good.” In fact, the way Will is treating you could be considered a form of abuse.

By constantly belittling and correcting you, he is trying to assert control and shake your confidence in yourself.

A husband who pouts and makes you feel bad when you tell him he’s making you miserable is a poor life partner. He may be insecure, overbearing or have OCD. Or he could be a potential abuser. Insist on marriage counseling to find out which, or get out of there while you still can.

Dear Abby: My “Uncle Bernard” has a colorful personality.

He has always been full of tall tales about his exploits and celebrity encounters.

About five years ago, my uncle announced that he had been awarded a Purple Heart. I know for a fact that Uncle Bernie was a member of the Merchant Marines on a ship that never left the Great Lakes. He also isn’t listed on the official Purple Heart re-

DEAR ABBY cipient registry, which makes me wonder where he got the medal.

Uncle Bernie hasn’t been feeling well, so he has prepared his obituary, which notes that he was a recipient of the Purple Heart. He has also told us he wants the medal displayed at his funeral. I am aghast! I don’t think I’ll be able to grin and bear this one, Abby. He’s a fake, and I don’t want his children and church to be embarrassed. What he’s doing is wrong. What would YOU do?

— Biting My Tongue For Now Dear Biting: Uncle Bernie appears to be a fabulist, which is a polite term for liar. That he would masquerade as a war hero having never set foot in a war zone is disgusting. If I were in your situation I’d wait patiently until the time comes, then talk to his family about the potential embarrassment. When the obituary is published, reference to the medal should be omitted, and at the funeral the medal should not be displayed. Uncle Bernard won’t know the difference, trust me.

Dear Abby: Today I asked my wife of many years, “Do you still love me?” Her answer was, “At our age, there is friendship at most.”

I think that love has no age limit. Who is right?

— Leon in Marco Island, Fla. Dear Leon: You are. There is no age limit on love. Love is love, whether you’re a teenager or an octogenarian, and if you’re lucky, even older than that.

Tripplehorn’s ‘Big Love’ is acting

By Luaine Lee

‘F ive’

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Occasionally acting can just be a job, says actress Jeanne Tripplehorn. But, for her, most of the time it’s a calling.

Best known as the kinky lawyer in “Basic Instinct,” sensible Wife No. 1 in “Big Love” and the waterlogged love interest in “Waterworld,” Tripplehorn admits her passion for it waned slightly after she had her son, who’s now 9.

“I lost the heart for acting because my heart was with my family and my son so that was really, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this anymore.’ But then they get older and you realize you have to flex that independent artist in yourself again, and I realize I’m fully whole because I have my son.

I’m so lucky because, as an actor, I get to be a mother full time when I do it, and then I go off and work. Then I come back and get the balance. I get to be a working mom when I need to and I can be a fulltime mother, which I love.”

That ennui soon passed, as she proves in Lifetime’s “Five,” premiering Oct. 10.

The project is an anthology of five short films about breast cancer, directed by famous femmes like Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Penelope Spheeris. It stars a galaxy of luminary actors like Patricia Clarkson, Tony Shalhoub, Jennifer Morrison and Ginnifer Goodwin.

Tripplehorn is the thread that stitches all five parts together, as the one character touched by all their lives.

She admits she likes acting because it enables her to be somebody else. “I had a big imagination when I was a little girl, and I think it gets harder as you get older and it becomes a profession, and it’s a job. I think the whole point

Jeanne Tripplehorn stars in all five stories of the Lifetime film “Five,” which is five short films about breast cancer, airing Oct. 10. of life is to enjoy what you do and not (have it) be work. I still feel that way ... There are days when it is a job. You’ve got something going on at home and you’re distracted and not into it. You don’t feel like playing. It’s like, ‘I don’t want to go outside and play.’

“But when I have a moment with another actor or group of actors and we, what I call ‘lift’ off the page, where we’re so engrossed and inside what we’re doing, it reminds me of when I was a little girl and would pretend and you’d get so deeply drawn into this alternate reality.

And I still love the simplicity of that. It’s harder. But it’s like a hole-in-one. When it happens now it reminds me why I do it.”

The reason she does it is because she can’t help herself, she says. “You have to want it

more than life itself. Any artist — whether it’s an actor, a painter — you have to want it more than life itself. You can’t live a fully realized life unless you do it. Those are the ones that are going to survive because they’re going to do it. They just HAVE to. “ She started out as a radio DJ and wet her feet in local theater.

She even dropped out of one college, hoping to attend Juilliard.

“I went to New York and I auditioned for Juilliard two weeks after I arrived in New York, and that kind of gave me the structure and framework. Right after I got out of Juilliard, I did a TV movie-of-the-week with Jason Robards and Campbell Scott then I got ‘Basic Instinct,’ and I was off to the races.”

Capturing the role in “Basic Instinct” (before she finished

school) convinced her that she would be able to make a living at her dream profession. “My parents were so proud and we didn’t have a lot of money.”

Tripplehorn lost her mom, but finally found the man of her dreams when she met actor-director-writer Leland Orser, to whom she’s been married 11 years. She says for a while she had compunctions about marrying an actor.

“Just because being with another actor is really tough. And actors, by their nature, can be complex people. I don’t consider myself complex in my approach to life so I was giving up finding somebody who had my same outlook and balance. And luckily I did. I think if Leland weren’t as balanced and honest and as solid a person as he is, I probably wouldn’t be married to anybody in our business. But it’s worked out because we trade off and we’re able to do what we both want to do and have a grounded enough life for our child.”

Foo Fighters, and their fans, revel in enthusiasm

By Ben Ratliff New York Times News Service

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In the second half of “This Is a Call,” the forthcoming biography of Dave Grohl written by British journalist Paul Brannigan, the narrative shifts completely and some new motifs emerge.

That shift comes after the violent end of Nirvana, in which Grohl played drums, loudly and elegantly; it’s when the book becomes the story of the Foo Fighters, the band Grohl started in 1994 and built into a major work of commerce.

One motif is the word “dude.”

Grohl and the musicians around him are duding each other all over the place, in moments of tension or ambition: “He’s kind of a hyper dude.” “I’m out, dude.”

“Dude, you’re awesome.” “Dude, I want you to stay in the band.”

“I’m not a competitive dude, but...” “Dude, you gotta get me an audition.”

There’s also the notion of arriving, as in “I’ve finally arrived.”

In the book, the Foo Fighters seem to be finally arriving about once a year, usually in or around an arena.

On Monday night at the Izod Center here, during the 40-minute encore of a concert running nearly three hours, Grohl stood on a 20-foot riser alone with an acoustic guitar. His vulpine teeth flashed, and his black dress shirt was soaked through. He hadn’t changed it during the break.

“You know, we were driving here in the van today,” he told the audience, “and I saw something I’d never seen before.” He described fans with six-packs and coolers, grilling meat in the parking lot. “And I was like: Oh my God, I’ve arrived. People are tailgating at my rock show.”

Grohl reflects his audience’s purest enthusiasms. He writes adrenalized riffs evoking old FM radio hits — about three decent songs per album being the general rule, the rest a confident snooze — then comes to your civic center and wears you down with his six-piece, three-guitar band, screaming choruses in your face while chewing gum, one foot propped on the stage monitor.

On Monday he ran several times from the stage to the back of the arena floor, where he had another stage monitor to put his foot on. Even up on his spire, strumming his acoustic, he seemed to bounce off the walls. “Come on! Sing it loud!

WAAAAAAHHHH!” He earns respect: He’s informed and doesn’t condescend.

And sometimes he seems like a radical balancer of rock attitudes. Monday’s set ran through bits of doom-metal, punk, posthardcore, folk-rock, power-pop, prog-psych. (The set also included the riff section of Pink Floyd’s stoner processional “In the Flesh,” which Pink Floyd was scheduled to play Tuesday on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”) Grohl and his tastes may be the only carbon-based link between the Boredoms and Tom Petty, whose “Breakdown” the Foo Fighters played during a dudely lull.

But he’s also a kind of preservationist, waving a flag for workethic, or sonic texture, or manual

Dave Grohl, lead singer and guitarist of the Foo Fighters, performs at the Izod Center, in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sept. 26.

Grohl, the energetic front man of the band, seems to reflect his audience’s purest enthusiasms.

‘Nevermind’ at 20 Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” the album that steamrolled pop music in 1991, just turned 20. To celebrate, Universal Music will issue a deluxe edition that promises to pour a fresh layer of cement atop the mythology of “Nevermind” as the Last Album That Changed the World.

Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic blew America’s unwashed hair back when Nirvana’s major-label debut arrived Sept. 24, 1991.

We will be reminded that “Nevermind” will be remembered as a game changer for as long as it still excites. Cobain’s face recently adorned the cover of Spin magazine and Novoselic performed at a “Nevermind” tribute concert in Seattle this week.

The anniversary rerelease will include some previously unreleased alternate recordings and plenty of previously peddled B-sides.

dexterity, or musical history, or something. At one point he addressed some teenage fans near the stage. “You want to start a band?” he said. “You don’t need a computer. You need one of these.” He pointed to his guitar.

After that, during the slowand-jammy breakdown in “Monkey Wrench,” the grayer part of the audience — the vast majority — held up their own flags: not glowing cellphones, but cigarette lighters.

There’s a kind of scientific consistency to Grohl’s songwriting: His songs tend to go limp when they drop below about 155 beats a minute. Hyperactivity is in his bones, and the songs that used it worked the best — “Bridge Burning,” “All My Life,” “Everlong,” “Let It Die,” “Monkey Wrench.”

The rest — including the plodding new “Arlandria,” “I Should Have Known” and “These Days,” with ex-Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic on accordion — felt like an art form in a decadent late stage.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011: This year, you might exhibit a tendency to be possessive or insecure. Stop and ask yourself what that is about.

Is it habit, or is it insecurity? Rebuild your sense of well-being and work on a more authentic presentation.

Go out more often and volunteer for community projects. If you are single, you easily could meet someone through an interest or through a commitment. One or more suitors could emerge. Be careful not to be manipulative or passive-aggressive.

Be real. If you are attached, have your mate point out when you are being possessive. The two of you can work this issue through if you remain open. Choose activities and make the choice of perhaps a little self-help to rebuild your security. Some of you might opt for some personal work with a therapist. It never hurts to address feelings that seem difficult. Internalizing or acting out can only lead to problems.

SCORPIO might understand more about finances than you think.

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 Be direct in expressing your thoughts and ideas. You have a way and style that attract many different people. Anger could bubble up from out of nowhere. Stop and use care when expressing your less-amenable feelings. Opportunities abound.

Tonight: Think “weekend plans.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might need to defer to others and not get stuck in feeling

that you are losing control. You really aren’t, because you never had control. The only control you have is over yourself. A serious discussion is inevitable. Tonight: Talk through a problem with a friend or loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You can deal with a situation using your ability to transform the interaction within a partnership. Both of you want your interaction to be effective, even if it is just professional.

You are buoyant and full of energy.

Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your creativity and ability to work with a changeable situation come from your own moodiness. Choose your words with care. Extremes mark the moment. Maintain your perspective and sense of humor.

Tonight: Time to let your hair down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Make sure you are coming from a grounded position before initiating a conversation. You convert a boring project or situation into an exciting, dynamic happening. Your creativity flows. Ignore someone’s critical attitude. Tonight: Order in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Return calls and schedule meetings. Express that efficiency for which Virgo is known. Others speak directly to you. Express your discomfort with a situation. New information keeps coming in, forcing you to regroup.

Tonight: Chatting up a storm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be sensitive to other budgets around you. Know what is possible and what is no longer feasible, and move forward rather than express frustration.

Don’t close down unnecessarily. Curb

any sarcasm. Tonight: Your treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Push to accomplish what you want. The “play bug” will emerge at some point, and you will want to toss responsibilities to the wayside. For once, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do just that?

Tonight: Try the role of free spirit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to see a situation for what it offers. Somehow make time to pull back and absorb a clear look. At that point, figure out what is going on. Vanish while you can. Integrate financial information and choose to stay steady. Tonight: Get feedback.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Dealing with difficult people could become a specialty, especially with a little more practice. Someone near you cares a lot but has an intrusive manner. Creativity creates a warmer interaction, especially in a meeting. Tonight: Find your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be willing to accept more responsibility. You could feel that someone is pushing too hard to go in another direction. Trust your ability to juggle different interests. Don’t get triggered, and you will maintain control. Tonight: Could be late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for new answers, especially as the traditional ones don’t seem to be working. You have a way of drawing people out. Suddenly, more activity and solutions become possible.

Tonight: Brainstorm away. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Outing

Trails

Continued from E1 The Deschutes River Corridor, he later explained via phone, is roughly the area from Meadow Picnic Area all the way up to Benham East Trailhead, just above Benham Falls. (In town, according to Bend Park & Recreation District, city ordinances require that dogs be on leash, except at designated off-leash areas.)

But through May 15 in the Deschutes River Corridor, it’s play time for Kaloo — and a whole lot of other dogs, judging from other packs of people and pooches we saw on the trail.

A little background on Kaloo: He came from the Humane Society of Central Oregon with that hideous name, and my family couldn’t come to a consensus on a replacement. Kaloo seems to fit, but I probably call him “KDog” more often.

A little background on this reporter: About five years ago, I wrote a humor piece mocking local dog owners. It was well-received by about six Mensa-level readers who wrote in agreeing that some folks go too far by, say, dressing their pooches up in miniature outfits to get photographed with Santa Claus.

Then a dozen or more sensitive dog lovers began writing letters to the editor, or worse, calling and e-mailing to tell me I just don’t understand how cute Mitzy and Boofy look in matching sweater vests.

Eventually, readers found new outrages to offend them, but to this day, I’m still labeled a dog hater by some with unenviable reading comprehension.

A few years tick by, throughout which my daughters beg for a dog. Then one day I come home to find my wife has caved.

An oddly shaped, curly tailed, jet-black dog runs up barking and growling at me, his pronounced hackles giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Fetch ensued, we bonded as the house’s only active males (there’s a well-rested cat around there someplace), and the rest is a platonic love story forged in Central Oregon. When friends got a whiff of this situation, a few accused me of being a hypocrite.

Of everyone in our house, Kaloo’s the most enthusiastic for

Continued from E1 Hikers and other trail users who venture into the forest during hunting season are encouraged to use more “situational awareness,” said Sabo.

A good rule of thumb, if you go into the forest in hunting season, is to wear bright, highly visible colors, such as blaze (or “hunter”) orange. Whether cycling, hiking or riding a horse, wearing muted colors is not a good idea during hunting season.

Additionally, if you’re using the trails and you see a hunter, or hear sounds which you think may be from a hunter, make noise to make your presence known. Communicating verbally is a good way to make sure everyone is aware of each other’s presence. “Give a hoot. Say, ‘Hey, I’m up here,’” said Sabo, For information about hunting season and hunting regulations, visit www.dfw.state .or.us/resources/hunting.

Fire restrictions were lifted Tuesday for vehicle use, smoking and campfires in the general areas. “We still ask folks, because it is quite dry, be extra vigilant and if they do have a campfire, follow all of the proper procedures. Do not leave it until you have extinguished it completely.

We are not totally out of fire season,” said Sabo.

There is a fire closure in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness around Wasco Lake. Affected areas include the lake and Jack Lake Trailhead.

The Shadow Lake closure has been reduced substantially and there is more access, but a section of the Pacific Crest Trail remains closed. For current information about fire closures, visit www.inciweb.org and choose “Oregon” from the drop-down menu.

Northwest Trail Pass season for the Deschutes National Forest runs through Friday. The pass will not be required again until May 1.

Kaloo waits for his ball to be tossed into the cold water of the Deschutes River. the outdoors. I feel guilty when he’s begging to get out there and we’re too busy, lazy or distracted to indulge him.

When we do go somewhere, too often he’s relegated to a leash or gets left behind. But not Friday.

Map Guy chose to leave his two dogs at home, telling me by e-mail that “One of mine is (lame) and the other one is (insane).” (For the sake of dog lovers, this reporter softened Map Guy’s insensitive language.)

As we made our way up the trail, Map Guy was impressed

by K-Dog’s jumping ability and crazed — er, insane? — need to chase after the ball.

“He seems like a good dog,” Map Guy said. But he also questioned Kaloo’s intelligence the

few times he lost the ball in the tall grass that lines the river.

“He seems kind of dumb.”

“Nah, he just doesn’t have a good sniffer,” I said defensively.

Now and then, I made like Dr. Doolittle, trying to communicate with the dog: “Here’s the ball!

You ready, boy?” I’d say, and then throw the ball in the water.

Map Guy found this ridiculous. “Oh my God, you talk to him?” he said, laughing at me. To him, my dog-whistle pitch somehow connoted more hypocrisy. I think my hackles went up. After all, that tone is how I maintain voice control: How else was I going to get K-Dog all wound up and ready to jump?

We made our way past the meadow and toward the forest, but despite the fact that it’s Sep-

tember, mosquito hordes drove us back to the trailhead, where, Sabo says, leashes are required.

“At developed sites — the picnic areas, the trailheads — technically, there’s another general developed recreation regulation … you must have your dog leashed,” he says. I also threw on the leash or held K-Dog’s collar whenever mountain bikers passed.

My guilt absolved, I figured Kaloo and I could rest — separately, thanks — all afternoon.

Maybe 10 minutes after we got home, he stood swiping his paw at the sliding glass door as if to say, “Glasses, you see ball through invisible wall, too?”

He’s tireless, but he is a good boy.

On the Maui volcano, sunrise can be an epic event

By Christopher Reynolds

Visitors leave the parking lot after watching sunrise atop Haleakala, a volcano rising 10,023 feet in Haleakala National Park in Maui, Hawaii.

Los Angeles Times

HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii — Face it, we were born way too late. Barring a biblical revelation, we’ll never know what the Beginning of Everything looked like, whether it was a Creation or a Big Bang or something else we haven’t figured out.

But after one sunrise on Haleakala, I do know what an epic earthly event looks like.

You fly to Maui, take to your hotel bed nice and early, and ask for a wake-up call around 2:30 a.m. Then, even though this is a balmy Hawaiian island, you bundle up and drive up the slope of the dead volcano that dominates the island’s geography. Or catch a tour bus; many make the trip every day. However you go, you’ll need to reach the summit observation area of Haleakala National Park a few minutes before dawn.

When you step to the railing, you’ll be 9,740 feet above sea level. The landscape below will be cloaked in darkness, and the wind will be gusting at 40 degrees or so, which will feel arctic

after days of 76-degree breezes.

Then the darkness will begin to come alive, and even though your fingers are going numb, you’ll likely forget them as the hints of first light rake the moonscape below. The eastern horizon will erupt in golden rays, the sky will go crazy with yellow and orange light, and as the sun

begins to warm the mountaintop, clouds of sunlit mist will swirl and race down the rough black slope. Even though those golden Maui beaches and deep blue seas are miles away and invisible, you know they’re waiting. You’re on top of the world, enlightened, breathless and beginning to feel your fingers again.

Then again, your Haleakala sunrise may be nothing like this.

Especially in winter, locals say, many early mornings are rainsoaked and cloud-bound. If you draw one of those, you could spend your twilight years whining to friends and family about the day you nearly froze on a tropical island.

Stand up for health

OHSU looks to improve ‘the pill’

Women who sit for hours are shaving years off their lives

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

By Patricia Montemurri Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — During her 18-year career at the University of Michigan, where she’s a customer service center supervisor in the payroll department, Jackie Adams figures she’s done a whole lot of sitting.

And that scares her.

When her department installed a treadmill desk, Adams started using it to fit a little more exercise into her day. When she heard about studies that showed that long periods of sitting can be dangerous to a woman’s health, Adams stepped up getting up from her chair.

She tries to spend 30 minutes each day on a treadmill desk installed at the office. She urges co-workers to walk while they talk. She stands up while taking phone calls.

“I heard that those who have a sit-down job take years off their lives. That scared me. I came in here and said, ‘Everybody walk at lunch. Everybody walk on the treadmill,’” said Adams, 43, of Saline, Mich.

“We can’t help it if we have desk jobs, but I don’t want to die early because of it.”

Research released last fall found that women who sat for more than six hours a day had a 37 percent increased risk of premature death, compared to 18 percent for men. Those results stayed the same, even when factors such as an individual’s diet, amount of physical activity and smoking were taken into account.

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have figured out a novel way to prevent ovulation, which could open doors for a new method of birth control.

The method, which relies on a compound that inhibits the release of an egg from a woman’s ovary, does not use hormones as do today’s most popular forms of contraception.

“The current forms of birth conInside trol aren’t • How to stop suitable for ovulation, ever yone, Page F5 e spec ia l ly oral contrac e p t i v e s ,” said Jon Hennebold, a scientist in the division of reproductive sciences at OHSU’s Oregon National Primate Research Center. “The more options people have, the more likely they will use contraception.”

Hennebold cited the fact that about half of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned as evidence that birth control is not reaching enough women.

In the current study, Hennebold and his team looked at the genes involved in ovulation in rhesus macaque monkeys.

They published their findings in a recent issue of the journal Endocrinology.

The concept is entirely new for pregnancy prevention.

Small nutritional differences between farmed, wild

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

he federal government has encouraged Americans to eat more fish. Studies emerge regularly touting the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, prevalent in most fish.

Sounds like a no-brainer. But consumers are increasingly conflicted by many layers of questions about everything from toxins in fish to ecosystem health in light of a growing aquaculture industry. As oceans get overfished, fish farms have become the source of much of American’s seafood consumption.

T

That creates another question: Which fish is better for you — farmed or wild?

Omega-3 For the most part, the nutritional value of farmed versus wild fish is comparable. In terms of protein and minerals, a wild trout or salmon is similar to a farmed trout or salmon.

Frequently, however, farmed fish is higher in total fat.

What sets fish apart nutritionally from other high-protein options, such as chicken, is its high content of famously healthy

omega-3 fatty acids.

Research shows that omega3 polyunsaturated fats found in seafood may reduce arterial stiffness and improve heart function.

Omega-3s may help in the immediate aftermath of a stroke. Omega-3s consumed by pregnant women have been associated with better growth and mental development in infants.

They are linked with lower risks of Type 2 diabetes in adults; with reducing inflammation, depression and anxiety in healthy young people; with a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Salmon

GOOD FOR YOU

Continued from F1 Fish high in omega-3s include salmon, herring, tuna, anchovies and sardines, to name a few.

Also, hamachi, bluefish, mackerel, opah, shad, swordfish, trout or char.

A healthy diet contains a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, but some omega-6 fatty acids tend to promote inflammation. The typical American diet includes far more omega-6s than omega-3s.

Studies have shown that those who follow a diet with less omega-6 are less likely to develop heart disease.

MyPlate icon gets specific The U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this summer released a new, simplistic food icon called MyPlate, to help Americans make healthier food choices (www.

ChooseMyPlate.gov). It’s an image of a plate divided into four sections: vegetables, grains, protein and fruit, with a cup of dairy on the side.

In response, experts from the Harvard School of Public Health have recently created a more detailed and specific guide to healthy eating, using a similar image but adding text such as, under vegetables, “potatoes and french fries don’t count,” or under protein, “fish, beans and nuts” with an additional suggestion to limit red meat and bacon. Instead of a circle that says “dairy” the Harvard icon shows a glass of water.

Cages of bluefin tuna at one of Umami’s aquaculture operations, the Kali Tuna farm in Croatia.

Farmed versus wild Farmed fish tend to have a significantly higher ratio of omega6s to omega-3s, compared to the ratio found in wild fish, said Michael Morrissey, fish researcher and superintendent of the Food Innovation Center, a research project of Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Agriculture in Portland. But, “Omega-3s are still in farmed salmon,” he said.

“All fish are good for you, and we don’t eat enough,” he said.

The amounts and proportions of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in farmed versus wild fish depend on each specific species. If it’s farmed, its fatty acids are affected by an orchestrated diet. If it’s wild, it’s affected by its location and point in its life cycle.

Data about fatty acids in fish is limited, and sometimes conflicting. William Harris, director of the Metabolism and Nutrition Research Center at Sanford Research in South Dakota, wrote in an article that nutritional fact measurements should be considered rough estimates. Harris noted that different studies on the same type of fish can provide different numbers, and they don’t always match with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s nutrition data.

“The net conclusion for me is to recommend the farmed fish,” Harris wrote in an e-mail. “Especially since it is cheaper and therefore more accessible to a larger number of people.”

One less-expensive fish, tilapia, is growing in popularity.

Most of it is farmed in Latin America and Asia. Tilapia is rich in protein and contains little saturated fat, but, compared with other fish, farmed tilapia has scant omega-3 content because of its typical diet of corn and soy-based pellets. In general, the more plant-based ingredients in the fish’s diet, the lower the level of omega-3 fats in its tissues.

When it comes to preventing cardiovascular disease, a French study published in the journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases concluded that the nutritional content of farmed fish, presuming that they are raised under appropriate conditions, is at least as beneficial as that of wild fish.

Fish get omega-3s from their diet, by eating other fish and algae. Fish farmers can include fish oil in the feed — smaller fish species that are processed for fish food — to create a higher omega-3 content.

“You have more control (over omega-3 content) when you farm the fish, more ability to adjust the value,” said Charles Santerre, a professor of food toxicology at the College of Health and Human Sciences at Purdue University in Indiana.

Oli Steindorsson, CEO of San Diego-based Umami Sustainable Seafood, which owns two aquaculture operations, said there’s also more stability in the nutritional value of farmed fish.

“It’s managed feeding. In nature, wild fish sometimes don’t eat for some period of time because a source (of food) is absent,” he said. So, a wild fish harvested at certain times would have less nutritional value, he said.

Other health concerns PCBs Polychlorinated biphenyls, known as PCBs, are toxic chemicals that have been found in farmed fish more than wild, Santerre said, but generally, farmers — salmon producers in particular — have more recently started to obtain their feed supplements from areas where such pollut-

SUSTAINABLE EATS

HEALTHY FISH GUIDE

For help in choosing sustainable seafood, consumers can visit: www.sheddaquarium.org/ rightbite for information and to download Shedd’s Right Bite card. The card lists fish that are safe and sustainable.

Women of childbearing age and young children should eat fish low in contaminants.

Information: www.doh.wa.gov/ ehp/oehas/fish/fishchart. htm

ants are lower, resulting in fewer toxins in the fish.

Several studies have found concentrations of PCBs and other contaminants at levels up to 10 times higher in farmed salmon than in wild salmon, according to the Washington State Department of Health, Division of Environmental Health, but some more recent studies have found similar contaminant levels in farmed and wild salmon.

Farmed salmon available in U.S. markets is mostly produced in Washington, Maine, Canada or Chile. Analysis of salmon from these locations showed low levels of organic contaminants in the fish. Fish farmed in Europe were found to have higher contaminant levels, according to the Washington state department.

Mercury Mercury in fish has also made some people question the health value of eating fish.

Mercury occurs naturally and is also released into the environment through industrial pollution. It can fall from the air and accumulate in streams and oceans, where it’s turned into methylmercury, a developmental neurotoxin that is harmful to fetuses and young children, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Fish absorb the methylmercury as they feed. It can be found in either wild or farmed fish, and Morrissey said he considers it an insignificant issue in either kind of fish, although larger fish such as swordfish, shark and king mackerel accumulate more of it, and therefore should be limited or avoided.

Generally, studies have shown that health benefits of eating fish outweigh the risks of mercury, Morrissey said.

Also, studies have shown that selenium, found in fish, can offset or moderate the toxic effects of mercury. The USDA says wild coho salmon have more selenium than farmed. In rainbow trout, the farmed fish have more selenium.

Coloring Some farmed fish may also have consumed certain food additives that create the pink color that some wild fish acquire naturally from their diets. Morrissey said astaxanthin, a carotenoid compound added to feed, is a natural compound in micro-organisms that wild salmon eat. Some farmed char, trout and salmon are fed a diet containing a synthetic version of astaxanthin so they look appealing. Morrissey said it doesn’t pose a real health risk; “It’s not red dye No. 2.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified astaxanthin as exempt from certification, the safest category of food additives.

The European Commission categorizes synthetic astaxanthin as a food dye.

Sustainability As oceans get overfished and the aquaculture industry supplants some of the demand, fish

farms have created their own set of ecosystem problems.

To call a type of fish “sustainable” is to say it has a robust population and is caught in the wild or farmed in an environmentally friendly way, explained Kassia Perpich, the sustainable seafood manager at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

She oversees Shedd’s “Right Bite” program, which is meant to help consumers make better choices that support sustainable fishing practices.

“Both farmed and wild (fish), from a conservation standpoint, can be great choices if they’re harvested in a environmentally sensitive way,” Perpich said.

In the wild, a “sustainable” fish is harvested with selective gear, such as a hook or a harpoon rather than a bottomtrawler that drags a weighted net across the ocean floor, injuring other habitat and wildlife.

For example, shrimp caught by trawling should be avoided, she said.

There are two main methods used in fish farming: open system or closed systems. Closed systems use man-made ponds or pools like swimming pools, which are on land and controlled by humans. Open systems exist in open bodies of water, such as the ocean, where fish are contained in a netted area but share water with the wild system. That can pose environmental concerns, she said.

One problem is that fish are concentrated in those nets unnaturally. They are eating, growing and producing waste that flows into ocean and can cause excessive plant growth in an area, suffocating oxygen supplies and

killing other wild species. The typical salmon farm produces the same amount of raw sewage every day as a town of up to 65,000 people, she said.

And, if open-system farmed fish develop diseases and are fed antibiotics, those diseases and antibiotics can be shared with wild fish, too, she said. (Not all fish farms use antibiotics.)

The Harvard “healthy eating plate” also added an icon of an oil bottle and describes healthy oils such as olive or canola oil as a healthy part of one’s diet. It added a small figure running across the bottom of the image to encourage people to stay active.

What should a consumer choose?

How are consumers to know what they’re getting? It is challenging, experts agree, especially when fish is imported from other countries. The buyer has to trust his retailer, experts say. According to USDA rules, a fish sold in a grocery store must be labeled with its country of origin, and whether it’s wild or aquacultured. There are some exceptions.

Buyers need to ask sellers lots of questions: Where is this fish from? When and how was it harvested, and with what kind of gear? How was it handled immediately after it was caught?

If the seller can’t answer these questions, the buyer might want to shop elsewhere.

Many said, in essence, you get what you pay for, meaning sustainable seafood tends to cost more.

As a demand for fish increases, the planet will rely more heavily on aquaculture, Morrissey said.

Fish harvests are currently sustainable, he said, but they can’t increase or fish populations will be depleted.

Wild seafood from Alaska tends to be well-managed, Perpich said. Shellfish that’s farmed in the U.S. is a safer bet. Choosing smaller fish such as sardines and herring, because they reach adulthood quickly and reproduce more quickly, is also a sustainable choice. The U.S. has more stringent sustainability rules than many countries. Generally, anything domestic is better than imported from a conservation perspective, Perpich said.

Continued from F1 Here are five ways to resolve medical billing problems, depending on when you incur them.

When you’re still healthy It helps to start the conversation when you’re healthy. Telling your doctor that money is tight or your health coverage leaves you on the hook for a big portion of the costs should compel the physician to tailor treatment to your needs or at least alert you to less costly alternatives, Santa said.

A doctor who otherwise would have taken an aggressive approach may be more conservative, choosing watchful waiting over expensive diagnostic tests when appropriate or prescribing fewer brand-name drugs, for example.

“Often times more expensive care is optional care,” Santa said.

When you get a big bill If you get sticker shock from a bill that goes far beyond what you expected to be charged, resist the urge to pay it first and ask questions later. Such a move will undermine your bargaining power, Santa said.

Instead, examine the bill closely and ask the doctor to go over it with you. He or she may refer you to the business office, in which case you should comply and be courteous but firm, Santa said.

“Insist on understanding everything,” he said.

If you don’t remember receiving a particular good or service, ask to see documentation in your medical record and make sure it’s there before you pay for it.

If the cost for a particular item sounds high to you, ask the doctor why it came out that way.

Contact your health insurer if your calculations show the health plan should be covering more of the total cost, and don’t pay the bill until you’ve exhausted all your options, according to Consumer Reports. Still, it’s important to signal that you want to work toward a resolution.

“Our advice is don’t pay anything until insurance is paid and you have done all your arguing with insurance,” Santa said.

“Then once your insurance is paid, sit down politely with the hospital and go over what occurred in the hospital. Hopefully your physician has at least explained it to you, answered any questions you have and they’ve identified any errors in your bill or care.”

You also might check out websites that track the going rates for health care services since they vary widely across the country.

Consumer Reports recommends the free resource Healthcare Blue Book, at www.healthcare bluebook.com.

Some employers also contract with companies such as Castlight Health or change:healthcare, which provide comparative price and quality information to employees in the hope that they’ll shop around for the best care when possible.

Be especially vigilant about hospital bills since they tend to be complex and may contain errors. Having your doctor on your side in a dispute with a hospital can swing a lot of weight. A note

Survey: Americans skipping care to save money

By Pat Wechsler Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — More Americans ignored their doctor’s advice and skipped prescription drugs or medical procedures to save money in 2011 than a year earlier, a Consumer Reports survey shows.

Almost half of the 1,226 consumers taking at least one medication said they didn’t fill prescriptions, took less medicine than a prescribed dose or failed to undergo a medical test advised by their physician, according to the survey released Tuesday. That’s 9 percentage points higher than the 39 percent reported in 2010 by the annual survey.

One in six American households and one in four with incomes less than $50,000 told Yonkers, N.Y.-based Consumer Reports that they felt stress over

how much they must spend on medical care. The pressure is prompting consumers to pursue potentially dangerous strategies for coping, said John Santa, director of Consumer Reports’ Health Ratings Center.

‘Sensitive barometer’ “The rising percentage of people putting off health care makes us wonder if we are really done with the recession,” Santa, a physician, said in a telephone interview. “This is one of the most sensitive barometers of how people are coping with the financial pressures.”

Doctors need to ask patients whether they are having trouble paying for drugs or medical care, and patients should tell them when they are financially

stressed, Santa said. Only 5 percent of the survey said they found out about the cost of a drug at the doctor’s office; 64 percent were told by their pharmacists.

The survey found the use of generic drugs increased to 75 percent of the prescriptions filled compared with 73 percent in 2010.

Patients said their choice of medication was influenced by advertising. Eighteen percent of those surveyed said they asked their doctor to prescribe a drug they saw advertised and 70 percent of those who asked said their doctors wrote the prescription.

The national telephone survey of those older than age 18 was conducted June 2 through June 6 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

The survey began in 2008.

of caution: some doctors are in practices owned by hospitals, adding a potential conflict of interest to the equation.

If you’re pinched for cash, you also might want to ask the doctor or hospital for a reduced rate, but keep in mind that doctors have to collect the insurance copayment at the time of service. Doctors typically can work out a payment plan with patients who make a good-faith effort to pay what both parties determine is reasonable, Santa said.

“Physicians are going to need to make this transition because they should be all about overcoming obstacles to the best care,” he said. “They didn’t need to do that much when it was the good old days and everyone had good insurance and there was no cost-sharing. They’re going to have to do that now.”

Another alternative is to contact a reputable third party to help cut the size of your bills for a fee. Consumer Reports suggests InsNet and Medical Cost Advocate.

You also can hire a private health care advocate. They often work for an hourly fee or for a percentage of whatever money is recovered. You can locate health-care advocates in your area for free by checking out the National Association of HealthCare Advocacy Consultants’ online database or Advo-Connection, at www.advoconnection .com/index.asp.

The Patient Advocate Foundation offers free help for patients with chronic, debilitating or life-threatening illness regardless of whether they have health insurance.

Of course, if a service sounds too good to be true, it probably is,

Santa said. “Consumers should be very wary of folks who want to be paid up front and make unrealistic expectations about discounts or reductions in hospital bills.”

When you suffer the results of an error Unfortunately, medical errors and complications occur frequently. But that doesn’t mean you have to pay for the consequences of things such as hospital-acquired infections, receiving the incorrect dose or incorrect medication entirely, or a fall that happens due to a lack of proper monitoring or follow-up care.

Medicare and some private insurers are changing financial incentives so that hospitals aren’t paid for the extra care such errors require.

Some hospitals are good at identifying and correcting for such problems in the bill, but others aren’t, Santa said. That’s when it pays to know the lingo and enlist the support of your doctor.

Hospitals create billing codes known as diagnosis-related groups, or DRGs, that doctors sign off on, he said. “In some cases, that DRG assignment may be either done in error or it’s arguable, particularly if you’ve had a complication or if an error has occurred.”

Having your doctor go to bat for you in such cases can be a powerful negotiating tool, Santa said. Your insurance company also may provide you some recourse.

Caught between doctor, health plan Billing issues can become

complex, such as when you are charged for seeing a pricey doctor who never even entered your exam room. Perhaps you saw a lower-level associate for a few minutes but feel cheated out of seeing the star doctor you were promised.

If you feel you were charged for services you didn’t receive or were billed in an intentionally confusing manner, call the doctor’s office or your health plan. Sometimes it seems consumers are caught between two entities protecting their own financial interests and agreements. If your health plan isn’t willing to investigate such a claim, contact your state licensing board and describe your complaint. The licensing board should step in on your behalf, Santa said.

When planning an elective procedure You’re in a prime position to negotiate when you’re healthy and have the luxury of time to compare costs and services for an elective procedure.

“When you’re in control of the timing, you have leverage,” Santa said.

Request from prospective doctors a written quote, an itemized list detailing all the costs of the procedure including the anesthesiology and radiology you may need, he said. “When you’re having elective surgery, you should be able to have a commitment in writing, especially if you’re paying the bill.”

Ideally the estimate would cover services needed up to 30 days after the procedure and specify that if any complications or errors occur, you won’t have to pay anything, he said.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, September 29, 2011 F5

M Control Continued from F1 The process that a woman’s body goes through each month to release an egg is incredibly complex. The pituitary gland, a gland at the base of the brain, controls the release of hormones that signal to a woman’s body to ovulate.

Birth control pills work by blocking these hormonal signals from the brain to the ovaries, inhibiting ovulation.

If taken as indicated, they are effective. But, in the real world, when women sometimes forget to take the pill or take it late, it loses some of its effectiveness.

In reality, about one out of 10 women will get pregnant while on the pill.

The method now being studied at OHSU takes a different approach. Rather than targeting the hormones needed to release an egg, it targets the biological mechanisms needed for that release.

Eggs are housed inside follicles, which burst open to release an egg, typically one each month. In order for the follicles to open, special types of proteins are created by genes that are turned on just before ovulation. These proteins act as “molecular scissors,” said Hennebold, cutting open the follicle

Next week Cancer drug Avastin hasn’t proven to be effective for breast cancer treatment, but some are fighting for it anyway. We look at why.

Stopping ovulation In a typical menstrual cycle, genes turn on and create proteins that degrade the follicle wall, allowing the release of an egg.

to allow the release of the egg.

The compound that Hennebold’s team used prevents the protein from working, and the follicle is unable to open.

It would likely be years before this research leads to a new product for women. Hennebold said the next steps for the team are refining the compound. It’s

not even clear yet, for example, how people would get it into their systems. Hennebold said it might be delivered orally, like a birth control pill, but may also be used as a patch or as a drug in an intrauterine device.

If all goes well, he said, studies in humans could begin in several years. Then, depending on the success of those trials, the marketing and widespread use of the new method would be several years behind those studies.

Hennebold said there may still be side effects with this method, just as there are with other methods. For example, the compound used can act on bone structure so bone loss may be an issue.

But, he said, women who are discouraged from using oral contraception may be able to use this new compound, giving more options to a large number of women.

Hennebold said that he hopes that if it’s successful, women would be more apt to use contraception. With so many unintended pregnancies, he said, “part of that is people just choosing not to use contraception. If we provide them with the greatest arsenal, the likelihood of use is much greater.”

CELEBRITY M EDICINE ‘Spartacus’ star victim of lymphoma Actor Andy Whitfield, 39, who starred in the cable TV hit “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” died earlier this month from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The condition is a cancer of the lymphoid tissue, including the lymph nodes, spleen and other organs of the immune system. The causes of most lymphomas are unknown, although patients with weakened immune systems, such as after an organ transplant or HIV infection, are at higher risk. Symptoms include fevers and chills, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes and unexplained weight loss.

The cancer is diagnosed through biopsies or blood tests.

Doctors classify lymphomas as low, intermediate or high grade, depending on how fast they are growing, then further classify them based on the presence of certain proteins or genetic markers. The cancer is most often treated with chemotherapy, although radiation might be used when the disease is confined to one

area of the body. The slowgrowing form usually cannot be cured by chemotherapy alone, but may take years before it gets worse or requires treatment. Chemotherapy can often cure fastgrowing lymphomas, but if the cancer does not respond to the drugs, it can cause rapid death.

Both Hodgkin’s and nonHodgkin’s lymphomas are cancers of the lymphoid tissue, but Hodgkin’s involves a specific type of abnormal cell called a ReedSternberg cell and is much less common.

Teens with cancer wrestle with unique set of challenges

By Robin Erb Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — Thick, gray clouds overhead churn up an ugly storm, but — as the Trenton Trojans try to hold back Wyandotte Roosevelt High and cheerleaders chant in pyramids nearby — Alec Antonian and his buds are cracking up, remembering his birthday in June.

Make-A-Wish Foundation had given Alec, who turned 14, a pop-up camper. He and friends spent that night outside, making jokes, setting off smoke bombs and filling disposable cameras with memories.

“We mooned them in our boxers,” Alec says of the cameras, grinning.

There’s no reason a visitor would know about the highgrade astrocytoma — a mass of abnormal, star-shaped cells — intermingling with the right side of Alec’s brain. The patch of hair he has left after chemotherapy and radiation is worked into a funky mohawk. Scars from drainage tubes have faded.

Like others his age who have been diagnosed with cancer, Alec seems too old for pediatric wards, where other patients are often too young to even grasp their diagnoses, but he seems too young for oncology centers for adults, where patients draw from life experiences to cope. And that means teenage joking and a blunt outlook.

“It sucks, but I gotta do what I gotta do ... chemo and puking,” Alec says.

Toni Spano, a teenage-cancer survivor and a social worker at University of Michigan’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, says, “It’s very isolating. (Teens) are caught in-between and floundering.”

Even in the best circumstances, teens are in the most awkward stage of life, eking out independence, testing social norms, sorting out their future and constructing an identity.

Just as adolescents’ self-esteem and sex drive kick into high gear, lifesaving cancer treatments send acne into overdrive and high-dose steroids sometimes pack on pounds. Ports for chemotherapy might protrude under T-shirts, and scars and bandages attract awkward stares.

The most outward effects of chemo kicked in for Azhane Young, now 13, the night before her first day of seventh grade last year at Southfield’s Pace Academy. Her mother, Tamorraw Walker, offered to braid her daughter’s hair.

Instead, it fell out in clumps in her hand — the result of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Walker rushed to the store for supplies, and by the next morning, Azhane had a full head of hair glued onto a stocking cap — something she revealed only to friends.

Kimberly P. Mitchell / Detroit Free Press

Alec Antonian, 14, center, hangs out with his friends at a football game at Wyandotte Roosevelt High School in Wyandotte, Mich.

Alec has a brain tumor and is undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments.

“It sucks, but I gotta do what I gotta do ... chemo and puking.”

— Alec Antonian, 14, cancer patient “I don’t want to be treated any differently — not any better or worse, not different at all,” she said.

Still, by the end of the year, the heat of a packed classroom was unbearable. So were the whispers and suspicion. So Azhane, who is still in treatment, visited each of the seventh-grade classes.

“She said, ‘Yes, I have cancer.

Yes, this is a wig.’ Then she just snatched it off her head. It was a big tearfest,’” her mother said.

For many, the teen years are already full of drama — who is dating whom? Who’s going to the game? Who’s going to the mall?

A teen with cancer wrestles with questions about mortality or future fertility.

Even under the Friday night stadium lights, Alec’s dad, Mike Reynolds, is nearby. Reynolds, a Norfolk-Southern railroad train master, keeps his distance, giving space to Alec, who just a few years ago played competitive soccer. But that doesn’t stop Reynolds from glancing at Alec every few minutes to make sure his son isn’t rough housing — the kind of activity that could lead to deadly bleeding or swelling inside his skull.

“I hate doing it, but you worry all the time,” Reynolds said.

In addition to everything else, teens with cancer wrestle with what Heather McKnight calls “role confusion.”

“They were just starting to launch, to be on their own, and now they’re sick and they’re dependent on their parents,” says McKnight, a pediatric oncology social worker with Beaumont Health System. “Teenagers want the privacy. To be in their room with their door closed. Now they’re in the hospital with peo-

ple in and out.”

For some, even the most wellintentioned friends dwindle, consumed in their own lives and even frightened. The isolation can be excruciating, says Jane Deering, a social worker at the University of Michigan Cancer Center: The teen years are “all about where are they going and where are their friends going. But what happens if you’re not going anywhere, and you’re home going bald and throwing up?”

Still, years after University of

Michigan’s Spano felt so alone with her cancer, things are changing.

Websites, support groups and blogs offer an in-your-face, smack-down fortitude empowering a generation of cancer patients who used to feel forgotten.

“I isolated myself a lot. I didn’t talk about it,” Spano says. She was an outgoing, social teen until doctors diagnosed the lump on her neck in 1989 as Hodgkin’s lymphoma. When she did venture out with peers, it was awkward, even painful.

One time, someone poked her good-naturedly in the abdomen right after a surgery: “Where ya been?” It took all her strength not to double over in pain, Spano said, adding: “I tried to act normal and act like nothing was wrong.”

As teens find strength in each other online, even with things they can’t share with their closest friends, the fight can be refreshing.

Labeling your cancer or nonmalignant tumor can be empowering. Laughing with others about the awful side effects of treatment — even just finding that you’re not alone in those darkest moments — can be liberating, says Catherine Blotner, 16, a student at Detroit Country Day School who has a nonmalignant brain tumor. Catherine is a frequent contributor to the blog masskickersfoundation .blogspot.com.

When she writes to faculty at her school, Catherine tweaks the capitalization. mAsskickers becomes Masskickers — a change less likely to rile a more conser-

vative reader.

But when she’s wearing the T-shirts and handing out stickers to a younger crowd, the “A” is more pronounced. And she finds that phrases like “Tumors suck” invite conversations that she might not otherwise have with other teens.

That’s when she tells them about what has become a com-

mon theme behind mAsskickers: “There are three things you can do with cancer. You can dive. You can survive. You can thrive.”

The first and second gives cancer the upper hand, she explained. The third? “You embrace your cancer. You accept it and you find the positives in it,” she said. “That’s when you decide to fight.”

Sitting

VITAL STATS

Continued from F1 Dr. Alpa Patel, senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society, is the lead author of that study, the largest on how sitting affects mortality. The study was based on information from surveys of 123,000 people who participated in the study between 1992 and 2006.

Nearly half of runners may be overhydrating, study says Nearly half of recreational runners may be drinking too much fluid during races, according to a survey by Loyola University Health System researchers of 197 runners who competed in Illinois in 2009.

The Loyola survey found that 36.5 percent of runners drink according to a preset schedule or to maintain a certain body weight, and 8.9 percent drink as much fluid as possible.

Drinking only when thirsty is appropriate and will prevent overconsumption of fluids, according to the study published in the June issue of British

Why worse for women?

Females who sat the longest and exercised the least had twice the risk of death compared with women who recorded more activity and less sitting. Under similar circumstances for men, there was only a 50 percent greater chance of death.

Patel can’t explain why sitting may be more hazardous to women’s health. It’s unclear whether the varying results are caused by gender, or if there’s some other influence at work.

“We don’t understand the biological reason why it might be more detrimental to women than men.”

Get moving Patel now walks to talk to colleagues instead of using e-mail, and she sends some of her documents to a printer in a different room at her Atlanta workplace to force herself to move more. She sits on a balance ball in her office, rather than a chair, and she doesn’t use instant messaging to communicate with colleagues.

“I walk to their office to take a quick break,” she said. “There are very small changes that you can make that collectively add up.”

Patel says she always had a hard time sitting still in front of the TV. Now, she channels that extra energy into multitasking endeavors. She tries to fold laundry while watching her favorite shows. She knits.

DTE Energy financial analyst Ardalia Jackson uses a demonstration Walkstation, a low-speed treadmill under a height-adjustable work surface, at DTE Energy in Detroit. The treadmill sells for $4,399.

And she’s lost 40 pounds in the last two years.

Office furniture manufacturers are paying attention to the research. Grand Rapids, Mich.,based Steelcase, for example, in 2007 introduced treadmill desks — Walkstations, which combine an adjustable desk surface with a slow-moving treadmill. The Walkstation sells for $4,399.

Steelcase has sold more than 2,000 of them to corporations such as Humana, Google, Kraft Foods, eBay and General Electric, says Steelcase spokeswoman Katie Hasse.

The Steelcase treadmill desks were inspired by Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic. Levine approached Steelcase with research that showed how lean people consume more calories by incorporating more movement

into everyday activities — even by fidgeting.

“Many corporate customers have purchased multiple units as part of wellness initiatives,” said Hasse. “We launched the product to better serve our customers after multiple studies which point to mixing up time spent sitting with intermittent standing as a way to engage metabolism, keep nutrient and oxygen flowing to the brain as well as burn a few more calories than remaining seated for long periods.”

At the University of Michigan payroll center, Adams walks on a Walkstation while working on a computer screen for about 30 minutes a day. She asks clients if they can hear her footsteps or noticeable changes in her breathing, and they tell her they can’t, she says.

DTE Energy, just last month,

installed a Walkstation in a corridor connecting buildings in its downtown Detroit campus.

“We’re trying to find ways we can incorporate more opportunities for physical activity in the day” of thousands of employees who spend the day sitting at desks, call centers or meetings, said Susan Morgan Bailey, the utility’s program manager for health and wellness.

The utility may order more Walkstations to post around offices so “employees could do an hour of work on them, and take a break from sitting,” she said.

The utility also has ordered chairs made out of fitness balls to encourage more healthy movement at work.

“You have to use the abdominal muscles to use them, so you don’t fall out of the chairs,” Morgan Bailey said.

Utah gym embraces cult image

By Brooks Barnes New York Times News Service

SALT LAKE CITY — Inside an unmarked warehouse here, not far from a depressing stretch of fast-food joints and the Southern X-Posure strip club, Robert MacDonald — nickname: Maximus — is torturing a group of people.

Or at least that’s how it looks.

One man, howling in agony a second ago, has collapsed in a pool of sweat. A woman wipes away tears. A few of the rest are limping.

Maximus is not sympathetic.

After all, they had been warned.

It’s right there on the website: “You were free to choose and you did. Now lie in it.”

This is Gym Jones, a no-frills private club that caters to extreme fitness buffs, professional athletes, the military’s special operations and — on the opposite end of the pampered scale but only slightly less secretive — movie stars. (Jude Law didn’t get those contoured pectorals in “Repo Men” by accident.)

Yes, the name is an overt nod to Jim Jones, the sect leader who steered more than 900 people to suicide in 1978. No, the couple that owns the gym, Lisa and Mark Twight, don’t see anything obnoxious about that.

“We knew some people would call us a cult,” Lisa Twight said, “so we decided to own the joke.”

The zealous devotion clients have toward the gym and its fitness philosophy, which turns as much on psychology as it does on physicality, can indeed be a little frightening.

One prominent fan is Zack Snyder, the Warner Brothers director whose testosterone-turbocharged “300” became a global smash in 2007. It was Gym Jones, using a mix of power lifting and militarystyle calisthenics, that whipped Gerard Butler, the star of that film, into loincloth shape.

Superman himself has recently been training here. Henry Cavill, hired to play the title character in Snyder’s coming “Man of Steel,” arrived with eight-pack abs, or close to it, from training for another film. But Warner brought on Mark Twight to mold the British actor into a true superhero; the two have been working together since April.

“It’s not just about muscles,” Snyder said. “In fact, that’s the

Journal of Sports Medicine.

Overconsumption of fluid can cause what’s called hyponatremia. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, loss of energy, muscle weakness, spasms or cramps. In extreme cases, the condition can lead to seizures, unconsciousness, comas and death.

In recent years, there have been 12 documented and eight suspected runners’ deaths from hyponatremia, said Loyola exercise physiologist Lara Dugas, a co-author of the study.

— Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

“It’s not just about muscles. In fact, that’s the least of it. (Gym Jones has) a way of making you find things in yourself, and it’s fantastic.”

— Zack Snyder, film director least of it. They have a way of making you find things in yourself, and it’s fantastic.”

Trainers of this elite caliber tend to dismiss celebrities as dabblers who want results without the work. And don’t get the serious fitness crowd started on the use of steroids in some corners of moviedom.

Gym Jones is no exception. But the Twights and MacDonald, the gym’s manager, have also learned to open their minds.

“Take Jude Law,” MacDonald said. “At first I wasn’t interested in Jude Law at all. He smoked, drank and was out of shape. But he surprised me and worked really hard. He proved me wrong.”

(Law declined comment.)

The Twights generally require an interview or a referral from a current Gym Jones client, the completion of a written application that’s more of a fitness SAT than anything and, if you pass that step, a workout with MacDonald, a world champion mixedmartial-arts fighter.

“If I’m surrounded by substandard people, I’m not going to work that hard myself,” MacDonald said. Again, it’s right there on the website: “We choose clients. Clients don’t choose us.”

Gym Jones has another reason to guard its privacy: Its military customers like it that way. Although the Twights refuse to talk much about this side of their business, which occurs inside the gym and in the nearby mountains, it appears to be considerable and to involve people who are supposed to be invisible. Six of the Twights’ former students, for instance, were among the 30 Americans — most of them Navy SEALs, including members of the team that killed Osama bin Laden — who died in Afghanistan in August when their helicopter was shot down.

But don’t push for more details: “‘No’ is a complete sentence,” Lisa Twight said. “I don’t need to give a reason.”

Gym Jones, of course, is not the only fitness business thriv-

ing on tough love. From the boot camp programs that have become trendy in big cities to the screeching trainers on “The Biggest Loser” to CrossFit, a chain that has gained attention for promoting risky exercise, Americans seem to want their workouts served with hiss and spit.

The Gym Jones Way notably does not involve a bodybuildingcentered program of progressive overload and over-feeding. Pushing people so hard that they risk rhabdomyolysis — a condition brought on when severely damaged muscle tissue releases toxins into the bloodstream — “is a tremendous failure,” Lisa Twight said. She added that the gym encourages its trainers to get to know their subjects personally, whether

than means going shopping at the grocery store after a workout or lending a sympathetic ear.

“It’s like sex,” she said. “You can’t just get up and leave afterward. This is a relationship.”

It was the advanced program that MacDonald, barefoot and in cargo shorts, was teaching in early August, the one that culminated in tears and sweat. But that was only a small part of the course.

The eight participants spent much of their time in front of a white board at the back of the gym.

There, they sat in folding chairs and listened to MacDonald give a lecture. The class members took notes and followed along with a 135-page study guide.

“You can never get rid of endurance work,” MacDonald said, stabbing at the board with a marker. “If you need to get rid of something in your workout, it needs to be the weight room.”

He put the cap on the marker.

“And always — always — be prepared to go to a dark place,” he said. “Now, who’s ready to work out?”

Town reshapes views of healthy rural communities

By Monte Whaley The Denver Post

BENNETT, Colo. — This small town on the Eastern Plains is reshaping itself by jettisoning bad habits and becoming a national role model for other rural communities looking to get fitter.

Sodas have been purged from football concession stands, a sand beach is luring people to the recreation center, and 4 miles of lighted trails will soon encircle the town, population 2,300.

Even Bennett’s long-term growth plan is aimed almost entirely at developing parks and trails and how to get people moving, town officials say.

It’s all part of a push that began about two years ago in the farming community about 20 miles east of Denver, said town Treasurer Trish Stiles.

Although Bennet’s weight and wellness statistics were no worse than the rest of the U.S., elected officials wanted to buck the following trend: Rural communities waste away from diabetes, heart disease and other ailments simply because they lack physical outlets and long-term efforts to improve nutrition.

“Really, from Aurora to here, there is nothing. No parks, no trails,” Stiles said. “So we wanted to create something unique, and we are becoming an oasis of sorts.”

Stiles oversees nearly $500,000 in grants, almost all aimed at developing a healthier,

walkable community. Much of the funding goes for such simple improvements as raised sidewalks to get over railroad tracks or lighted signals at crosswalks.

“So many small towns in America don’t have sidewalks so people can walk to the grocery store, so they have to walk in the middle of the street, and that creates a hazard,” said Patty Boyd, program manager for the Tri-County Health Department, who oversees the Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative, which was funded by a two-year, $10.5 million national grant.

Most of Bennett’s seed money for shaping up came from a $151,000 grant from Tri-County Health, which last year issued nearly $3 million to support programs that promote healthy living, Stiles said.

The Bennett School District also became a partner in the effort, launching health initiatives to foster better nutrition and physical activity.

To help, the district replaced the sugary soft drinks at concession stands with bottled water.

School vending machines were stocked with snacks such as dried fruits, nuts, zero-calorie sports drinks and water.

“Thanks to the collaborative efforts of just about everybody,” said Bennett Mayor Sue Horn, “Bennett is rejecting the traditional status quo and pushing forward to make the community a happier, healthier place to live.”

PUBLIC NOTICE The Oregon Health Authority, Division of Medical Assistance Programs (DMAP) will update the Oregon Medicaid State Plan to include language allowing for a rate reduction of 7% to the Behavioral Rehabilitation Services (BRS) programs. This change allows BRS programs administered by the Oregon Health Authority (DMAP), the Department of Human Services and the Oregon Youth Authority to continue providing needed services to at-risk youth, while conforming to a legislative mandate to cut overall BRS program funding.

The proposed rate change is expected to decrease annual Medicaid/ SCHIP service payments to providers by approximately $2.5 million.

The proposed State Plan Amendment will be posted on the Oregon Medicaid State Plan Web page at www.oregon.gov/OHA/hea lthplan/tools_policy/state plan.shtml. Copies will also be available at local DHS branch offices.

Comments may be sent to DMAP, 500 Summer St. NE E35, Salem, Oregon 97301-1077.
