Petition aims to decertify St. Charles Bend union

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

A group of employees at St. Charles Bend has filed a petition to remove a recently approved union that represents primarily service and maintenance workers.

The petition, filed Tuesday with the National Labor Relations Board, would decertify

the Service Employees International Union. That union was voted in about a year ago to represent about 600 employees at St. Charles Bend, the area’s largest hospital.

The vote was extremely close, with 255 voting for representation and 251 voting against. At that time, employees voiced strong opinions on

The petition appears to meet that threshold, she said, but it has not yet been verified.

If the petition does pass muster, hospital employees included in the union may have another opportunity to vote on representation.

both sides about the value of representation.

The petition is the first step in reversing the process.

To move forward, it must be signed by at least 30 percent of the employees included in the collective bargaining unit, said Linda Davidson, the officer in charge of the Portland office of the NLRB.

Phil’s gets parking plan

SALEM — Friendships are built on trust, Rep. Tobias Read told his House colleagues Wednesday. They seemed to agree, giving unanimous approval to a measure known alternately as the “Facebook bill” and the “data center jobs bill.”

The legislation, which had previously cleared the Senate, now heads for the governor’s desk for final approval.

The measure will ensure that Facebook’s data center in Prineville will not be subjected to a central assessment — or taxed on intangible assets such as the company’s brand — at least while it’s protected under a 15-year rural enterprise zone agreement.

Facebook was lured to Oregon, in part, by the tax break connected to Prineville’s en-

terprise zone. But last year, the Oregon Department of Revenue informed officials that the Prineville facility could be assessed centrally, possibly leading to a hefty tax bill.

The legislative response is “about honoring our commitments,” said Read, D-Beaverton.

Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, who pushed hard for the measure’s passage, said it was crucial to act on the matter during the Legislature’s short February session. He told his colleagues the bill would “restore the integrity of the enterprise zones” and encourage more companies to invest in the state.

Indeed, tech giant Apple bought 160 acres in Prineville, presumably for a data center, last Wednesday — the same day the Senate approved the data center bill.

“It will be easier for people to come in, get parked and get on the trail — which is what they really want to do,” Tinderholt said.

Last year the Forest Service proposed a 1.8-acre asphalt parking lot with 96 spaces and picnic benches. The project would have covered more than three acres in all and led to the removal of 55 to 65 pine trees larger than eight inches in diameter.

Parking cars along the road leading to Phil’s Trailhead could be coming to an end.

“We are looking to define the parking,” said Brant Petersen, acting district ranger at the Fort Rock Ranger District.

Deschutes National Forest officials are considering narrowing Forest Road 4604 and closing it to parking, as well as establishing a 1.1-acre, 76-space parking lot.

The cost of the proposed parking lot would vary with the type of surface selected, ranging from about $500,000 for gravel to more than $600,000 for earthtone chip seal over asphalt.

While there is currently a gravel parking lot at the popular mountain biking, hiking and running trailhead west of Bend off Skyliners Road, its spaces aren’t well defined and parking spills out onto the road on busy days, said Amy Tinderholt, recreation team leader for the Deschutes National Forest.

Under the plan, overflow parking would be channeled into an old pumice pit that can hold about 50 cars and is already used for some parking, she said.

SAN FRANCISCO — It wasn’t so long ago that legions of people began walking the streets, talking to themselves.

On closer inspection, many of them turned out to be wearing tiny earpieces that connected wirelessly to their smartphones.

What’s next? Perhaps throngs of people in thickframed sunglasses lurching down the streets, cocking and twisting their heads like extras in a zombie movie.

That’s because later this year, Google is expected to start selling eyeglasses that will project information, entertainment and, this being a Google product, advertisements onto the lenses. The glasses are not being designed to be worn constantly — although Google engineers expect some users will wear them a lot — but will

be more like smartphones, used when needed, with the lenses serving as a kind of seethrough computer monitor.

“It will look very strange to onlookers when people are wearing these glasses,” said William Brinkman, graduate director of the computer science and software engineering department at Miami University in Ohio. “You obviously won’t see what they can from the behind the glasses. As a result, you will see bizarre body language as people duck or dodge around virtual things.”

Brinkman’s work focuses on augmented reality — or the projection of a layer of information over physical objects. He said his students had experimented on their own with virtual games and obstacle courses. “It looks really weird to outsiders when you watch people navigate these spaces,” he said.

A new study provides what independent researchers call the best evidence yet that colonoscopy — perhaps the most unloved cancer screening test — prevents deaths.

Although many people have assumed colonoscopy must save lives because it is so often recommended, strong evidence has been lacking until now.

Yesterday’s moonshiner is today’s microdistiller

Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, a moonshiner, was among the most famous to work out of Cocke County.

By Campbell Robertson New York Times News Service

PARROTTSVILLE, Tenn.

— This is a story about a man named Marvin Sutton and how he proved that the road from criminality to commodity is sometimes shorter than it looks.

Until his death in 2009 at the age of 62, Sutton, known as Popcorn, was a moonshiner. He was not quite the last, as he often claimed, but he was probably the most famous ever to work out of Cocke County, which long had a claim as the nation’s moonshining capital.

It may yet again. As of Feb. 16, microdistilleries are legal in Cocke County for the first time. And at the head of the line is a distillery making Sutton’s recipe.

Nestled in the rocky embrace of the Great Smoky Mountains, Cocke County was a moonshine center for as long as anyone here can recall.

For most families, in a rugged place with few opportunities, it was a matter of survival.

But for an enterprising few, making and hauling untaxed and unregulated liquor became a profitable, dangerous and inevitably romanticized trade.

Making moonshine later began to give way to growing marijuana, and by the 1960s the county was notorious for chop shops, cockfighting rings, prostitution and corrupt officials. Over the decades, the lawless elements have been corralled for the most part.

But the bad old image of Cocke County lingers. And irks.

“They’re having to live down now that reputation they got some time ago,” said Al Schmutzer Jr., who for 32 years was the district attorney here.

Thus the complicated legacy of Popcorn Sutton.

A North Carolinian by birth, Sutton learned to distill in Cocke County, where he was known as an affable rogue and a maker of potent but fine-tasting corn whiskey.

He lived in a cluttered cabin on a wooded hill where he also built his stills, gave pistols to the incoming sheriffs and fathered so many children that no one has any idea of the exact accounting.

Marketing moonshine But perhaps his greatest gift, and his most notable departure from the standard moonshining model, was in the field of marketing.

“He's very atypical,” said Duay O’Neil, who writes a weekly column in The Newport Plain Talk about the county’s history. “He gave the world what they expected of

IN HISTORY

Pam Sutton, widow of Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, holds a jar of whiskey her husband made. Popcorn Sutton was once prosecuted for making whiskey in Cocke County, which long had a claim as the nation’s moonshining capital, but under a new Tennessee law, his product is now legal.

a moonshiner. He dressed the part and he talked the talk.”

Sutton’s beard and profanity were equally effusive.

“And he made a good product,” O’Neil added, “which I can say from experience.”

In 1999, Sutton published “Me and My Likker,” a rambling, obscene and often hilarious account of his life in the trade. Soon after, he was featured in a documentary “This Is the Last Dam Run of Likker I’ll Ever Make” (later recut as “The Last One”), which he sold out of a North Carolina junk shop.

It became a cult hit, leading to newspaper features, occasional meetings with celebrities and a high-profile role in a 2007 History Channel documentary.

At one point, Sutton even made business cards.

“I told him, ‘Old man, you can't be a movie star and make liquor too,’” said Mark Ramsey, a close friend. “He said, ‘You can't sell it if nobody knows you got it.’ I don't know whether he had a point or not.”

In March 2008, Sutton, who had had run-ins with the law about once a decade, was arrested by federal authorities after offering to sell nearly 1,000 gallons of moonshine to an undercover agent. Despite a guilty plea, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison by a federal judge plainly displeased with Sutton’s fondness for publicity. It came as a shock, said his friends, to whom he had sworn he would not go to prison.

While under house arrest, Sutton befriended a former motocross racer named Jamey Grosser, who came to Tennessee with plans to set up a legal

distillery. Sutton sold Grosser, 29, the recipe for his whiskey and they worked out a partnership deal.

Then, on the morning of March 16, 2009, four days before Sutton was to report to prison, he climbed into the green Ford Fairlane parked in his yard and, having rigged a pipe from the tailpipe through the back seat, killed himself.

The Popcorn Sutton industry was far from finished.

The Discovery Channel made him a principal figure in a series about moonshiners. One of Sutton’s daughters, a surgeon in Alaska, has sued his widow over the rights to his book. Another daughter wrote her own book, “Daddy Moonshine.”

Pam Sutton, whom he married in 2007, has made Popcorn Sutton T-shirts, key chains and ladies’ undergarments. “He would like the attention but he would swear he didn’t,” she said, adding that strangers frequently show up at the house wanting tours.

Microdistilleries allowed A few months after Sutton's death, a state law allowing microdistilleries was passed.

Grosser, who now had a new partner in Hank Williams Jr., set up a distillery in Nashville, which as of last fall began producing 800 cases of Popcorn Sutton’s Tennessee White Whiskey a month.

Grosser has long planned to open a distillery in Cocke County, possibly with a museum attached. He discussed it with county officials, who had come to see Sutton’s legacy, in

a rather amusing twist, as a potentially rich source of tax revenue in a county that has its economic struggles.

But Cocke County was among several counties that remained exceptions to the microdistillery law. The county board held a vote on whether to opt in, and the members unanimously voted no.

Norman Smith, who is on the board, said he objected to alcohol on moral grounds, but also feared that this would only reinforce stubborn and unfair stereotypes. “Our school system’s winning national awards,” he said. “And you’ve got an image of: ‘They can make moonshine. That’s all they can do.’ ” Proponents made a simple counterargument. “We’ve had such a bad reputation for so long,” said Ramsey, “why not turn it around and make some money off it?”

When the board took a new vote last October, most members voted to opt in, prompting the Legislature to include Cocke County in the microdistiller law. After all these years, Sutton’s whiskey is now legitimate here, from production to consumption.

This would be to Sutton’s liking, Ramsey said, as he wanted to leave his widow comfortable. But Ramsey also suspects that Sutton would himself probably have kept doing it the old way. His final message to the public seems to bear that out. On the footstone of his grave, there is only a four-word phrase. “Popcorn Said — “ it begins, and the rest is unfit to print.

Weighing political cost, administration slows action on emissions regulations

FOCUS: HEALTH

After pushing through some of the most sweeping and contentious environmental measures in years, the Obama administration has slowed action on several policies as it calculates what it should undertake before the end of the term.

Rules aimed at curbing emissions from cars and light trucks are on hold because the White House has yet to give the Office of Management and Budget the go-ahead to review them. And a proposal to regulate soot, ready last fall, will not be issued before June.

Several of the regulations hanging in the balance have broad support among not just environmentalists but key industries as well as hunters and anglers. But they could impose new costs on consumers and certain sectors of the economy, which has sparked opposition

and complicated the administration’s political calculus.

“Behind the scenes (the Environmental Protection Agency) is pressing to get rules out before the administration pulls up the drawbridge and goes into campaign mode,” said Joe Stanko, who heads government relations at the law firm Hunton & Williams. “It will be a battle to see how far down EPA’s shopping list they get.”

White House spokesman Clark Stevens wrote in an e-mail that the administration would seek to balance economic and environmental considerations when deciding what regulations to issue in the coming year.

“The administration has a strong record of implementing smart, sensible steps that protect consumers, public health, and the environment, informed by feedback from the public and industry and guided by

the president’s goal of supporting economic growth while protecting the air we breathe and the water we drink,” Stevens wrote. “This includes historic fuel economy standards that will dramatically reduce oil consumption, slash vehicle emissions, all while saving American families thousands of dollars at the pump, as well as the first national standard for mercury emissions.”

The fight over whether to propose a new federal fuel and vehicle program — known as “Tier 3,” because it’s the third iteration of rules aimed at curbing emissions from cars and light trucks — epitomizes the dilemma the administration faces. In late December, the EPA completed the package of proposed rules, which would slash the amount of sulfur in U.S. gasoline by two-thirds while imposing fleetwide pollution limits on new vehicles.

Study: Hepatitis C deaths now outpace HIV deaths

By Eryn Brown Los Angeles Times

Hepatitis C mortality rates surpassed HIV mortality rates in the United States in 2007, researchers said earlier this week.

In a study in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers analyzed causes of death on more than 21.8 million U.S. death certificates filed between 1999 and 2007.

Rates of death related to hepatitis C, a viral infection that causes chronic liver disease, rose at an average rate of .18 deaths per 100,000 persons per year.

More than 15,000 people died from hepatitis C in 2007. HIV-related death rates declined .21 deaths per 100,000 people per year — 12,734 people died from HIV in 2007. Rates of death related to a third infection,

hepatitis B, remained more or less constant over the study period, falling .02 deaths per 100,000 people per year to just more than 1,800 deaths in 2007.

Most of the hepatitis-related deaths were in relatively young people — 59.4 percent of deaths associated with hepatitis B in 2007 occurred in middle-age people 45 to 64 years old. For hepatitis C, the portion of deaths in that age group was 73.4 percent.

Hepatitis victims’ youth portends a large and ever-increasing health care burden, study co-author Kathleen Ly and colleagues warned.

The hepatitis C virus is usually transmitted by sharing intravenous drug needles with infected people but can be passed along by other means as well. An estimated 50 percent to 75 percent of people with the illness don’t realize they have it, the physicians wrote.

REPUBLICAN DEBATE

Santorum on the defensive

By Dan Balz and Sandhya Somashekhar The Washington Post

MESA, Ariz. — Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum was thrown on the defensive here Wednesday night as rival Mitt Romney attacked the former senator over spending and earmarks and accused him of compiling an inconsistent and contradictory record.

In the first GOP debate since he won a trio of states two weeks ago, Santorum fired back, accusing Romney of his own inconsistencies, but he struggled under repeated criticism to explain his record. The squabbling became so intense at times that the two talked past each other, with voices raised, each trying to gain the upper hand.

When Santorum came under fire for supporting earmarks as a senator from Pennsylvania, he countered by noting that Romney had sought

federal money when he was governor of Massachusetts and when he was in charge of the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Romney didn’t apologize for the money he received from Washington for the latter, telling his rival, “Our Games were successful. But while I was fighting to save the Olympics, you were fighting to save the ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’ ” Santorum began to respond, only to be interrupted by Romney, which brought a sharp response from the former senator. “You’re misrepresenting the facts,” Santorum said.

“You don’t know what you’re taking about.”

The high-stakes debate came six days before crucial primaries in Arizona and Michigan and less than two weeks before Super Tuesday, the biggest round of contests this year. Santorum’s surge, the latest twist in what has been an unpredictable nomination contest, has put Romney in jeopar-

dy of losing in Michigan, where he was born and raised.

Romney is favored to win here in Arizona next week, but a loss in Michigan would represent a major setback for his candidacy and could redraw the shape of the race as no other event has done.

The two other remaining candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, leapt into the conversation throughout the nearly two-hour debate. Gingrich performed well overall and Paul was alternately funny and biting.

But the focus of the evening was on the competition between the two front-runners.

This was Santorum’s first time in the spotlight, and he felt more heat than he has in any of the previous 19 Republican debates.

He and Romney fought over bailouts of Wall Street and the auto industry, over debt and deficits, over comments Santorum has made about contraception,

and over the health-care plan Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts. Santorum said Romney would cede that issue in a fall campaign against President Barack Obama.

When Romney noted that he had balanced the Massachusetts budget for four straight years, Santorum scoffed, saying that was required by the state’s constitution. “Don’t go around bragging about something you have to do,” he said.

“Michael Dukakis balanced the budget for 10 years. Does that make him qualified to be president of the United States?

I don’t think so,” he added, referring to another former Massachusetts governor.

Although Santorum had good moments, it was Romney who emerged stronger from the encounter. He arrived well prepared with an intimate knowledge of Santorum’s record, which he offered up at pivotal moments to try to throw his opponent off stride.

Quran burning incites Afghans for 2nd day

By Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — Armed with rocks, bricks, pistols and wooden sticks, protesters angry over the burning of Qurans at the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan this week took to the streets in sometimes lethal demonstrations in a half dozen provinces Wednesday that left at least seven dead and many more injured.

The fury did not appear likely to abate any time soon.

Members of the Afghan Parliament called on Afghans to take up arms against the U.S. military, and Western officials said they feared that conservative mullahs might urge people to violence at the weekly Friday prayers, when a large number of people go to mosque.

“Americans are invaders and jihad against Americans is an obligation,” said Abdul Sattar Khawisi, a member of Parliament from Parwan province’s Ghorband district.

“I am calling upon all the mullahs and the ulema to urge the people from the pulpit to wage jihad against Americans.”

President Hamid Karzai is scheduled to address both houses of Parliament this morning.

With the mood tense across the capital, Karzai made his

2 journalists among dozens killed in Homs BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syrian forces continued to bombard the city of Homs on Wednesday, as international outrage at the growing death toll increased pressure on the government of President Bashar al-Assad ahead of a meeting of world leaders Friday to Colvin discuss the crisis.

Ignoring the International Committee of the Red Ochlik Cross’s call for daily two-hour cease-fires to allow medicine and food into civilian areas that are increasingly deprived of basic supplies, Syrian authorities defiantly asserted Wednesday that terrorist groups and sanctions were responsible for any lack of medical care.

Among dozens of people reported killed Wednesday in Homs, a center of opposition to Assad and a target of intermittent heavy artillery fire for almost three weeks, were journalist Marie Colvin of Britain’s Sunday Times and photojournalist Remi Ochlik from France.

The two, who had traveled into Syria without official permission, were killed and three other reporters were injured when a hail of missiles hit the house in which they were working Wednesday morning. Their deaths came less than a week after the demise of award-winning New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, from an apparent asthma attack, in northern Syria and a little more than a month after French journalist Gilles Jacquier died in violence in Homs.

WASHINGTON — Syrian President Bashar Assad is now using most of his regular ground forces in an intensified drive to crush the uprising against his family’s four-decadelong rule in what could be a critical test of his minority-run military’s cohesion, according to U.S. officials and experts.

Assad and his inner circle are apparently betting that their ferocious artillery-backed onslaught on the city of Homs will deal a crippling blow to the insurgency, which will quickly be followed by seizures of other rebellious cities and towns. Refugees arriving in Lebanon say Assad’s forces already have retaken the town of Zabadani.

The regime, however, may be in a race against time: The longer the insurgents hold out, the greater the risk of the army becoming overstretched; the more civilians killed and maimed in the wanton pummeling of opposition strongholds, the greater the threat of the army fraying, plunging the country into all-out sectarian war, some experts warn.

“We’ve been building up to a critical test over the last few months and that test is in the form of whether or not the regime can make significant gains in terms of taking back critical terrain,” said Aram Nerguizian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“This is increasingly becoming a sectarian war,” said Joshua Landis, the director of Middle East studies at the University of Oklahoma.

The regime began intensifying military operations after the withdrawal last month of an Arab League observer mission, experts said. The mission left in disarray after failing to curb the bloodshed that was ignited when Assad’s troops responded with gunfire against peaceful protests demanding his ouster that began just over a year ago in an outgrowth of the “Arab Spring” revolution.

WASHINGTON — A former Baltimore-area resident held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has reached a plea agreement with military prosecutors that calls for him to testify at the trials of other detainees in exchange for a much-reduced sentence and eventual freedom, according to officials familiar with the case.

The plea agreement with Majid Khan, 31, is the first with a high-value detainee who was previously held by the CIA at a secret prison overseas. Khan was charged this month with war crimes, including murder, attempted murder, spying and providing material support for terrorism, and faced up to life in prison.

Khan was captured in Pakistan in March 2003, and vanished into the CIA’s network of prisons until

President George W. Bush announced in September 2006 that he and 13 other highprofile detainees, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, had been transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Khan’s June 2008 detainee assessment at Guantanamo Bay found him to be a high risk to the United States and its allies, a low detention threat, and of “high intelligence value.”

Ex-lacrosse player gets 26 years in 2nd-degree murder

By Steve Szkotak The Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A jury convicted a former University of Virginia lacrosse player Wednesday of seconddegree murder of his ex-girlfriend in a drunken, jealous rage, rejecting a first-degree murder verdict and a possible life sentence.

Instead, jurors Huguely recommended a 25-year prison term for George Huguely V in the May 2010 slaying of Yeardley Love.

They added one more year for a grand larceny conviction.

Huguely was found not guilty of four other charges, including breaking and entering and burglary. Jurors also could have returned lesser verdicts of involuntary or voluntary manslaughter.

Huguely, 24, bowed his head during sentencing. Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire set an April court date on sentencing matters before a formal sentencing is expected to be held in summer. He is not bound by the jury’s recommendations, but Virginia judges typically heed jurors’ wishes.

Jurors deliberated for about nine hours before returning their verdict to a somber courtroom. Huguely stood erect, flanked by his attorneys, and appeared stoic as the verdict was read. Some sobs could be heard in the court.

Prosecutors said Huguely killed the U.Va. women’s lacrosse player after a day of golf and binge drinking, incensed that she had had a relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player. Love’s right eye was bashed in and she was hit with such power that her brain was bruised. She also had wrenching head injury that caused bleeding at the base of her brain stem.

A coroner concluded she died of blunt force trauma.

Union Continued from A1 At least some union members expressed disappointment at the filing.

“It’s a little frustrating knowing that we’ve already gone through this process before,” said Mel James, a certified nursing assistant at the hospital and part of the bargaining team for the SEIU. James said he felt confident that a vote would affirm the desire of the majority of employees for union representation. “I think we’re stronger now than we have been,” he said.

Hospital management commented on the petition through a news release. “We respect all of our caregivers and their rights to choose when it comes to union representation,” said Jay Henry, CEO of St. Charles Bend. “We are committed to seeing this process through in a way that is fair to all (employees).”

The process of decertification will take weeks, if not longer.

It could be delayed by two allegations of unfair labor practices by the SEIU against the hospital, Davidson said.

“We would be looking at whether the nature of the unfair labor practices would interfere in the employees’ fair choice in an election,” Davidson said.

The first allegation concerns the amount of money employees contribute to medical and dental plans. The second alleges that the hospital discouraged union activities and unfairly targeted employees engaged those activities.

The SEIU and St. Charles management have been negotiating their initial contract since May 2011 but have not yet come to agreement. Talks will continue while the decertification process moves forward, according to the news release from the hospital.

Phil’s Trail Continued from A1 Some of those who commented on the plan called for keeping the “rustic” feel of the current setup.

“We kind of dialed it down a bit,” Petersen said.

The new parking lot plan includes benches, covers 1.4 acres and involves the cutting of 20 to 30 pines larger than eight inches in diameter.

The Forest Service is taking comments on the new plan until the middle of next month and construction is expected to take place next year, to coincide with the widening and repaving of Skyliners Road. Part of the cost of the project would be covered

Colonoscopy Continued from A1 “This study does show that mortality is reduced if polyps are removed, and 53 percent is a very robust reduction,” said Vaccaro, who was not involved in the research.

Colorectal tumors are a major cause of cancer death in the United States and one of the few cancers that can be prevented with screening. This year, more than 143,000 new cases and 51,000 deaths are expected.

Incidence and death rates have been declining for about 20 years, probably because of increased use of screening tests and better treatments. But only about 6 in 10 adults are up to date on getting screened for colorectal cancer, according to federal estimates.

Cancer screening tests have come in for greater scrutiny recently. A government panel recommended in October that men no longer get the PSA blood screening test for prostate cancer after concluding it did not save lives. The new study on colonoscopy has limitations — it is not a randomized clinical trial — but some experts say it nonetheless was well-done and helps answer questions about the effectiveness of the procedure.

Earlier research had proved that removing precancerous polyps could greatly reduce the incidence

by $250,000 in federal forest highway funds, awarded to the forest in fall 2010.

Mountain bikers who regularly ride the trails in the Phil’s Trail complex had mixed reactions to the parking lot plan.

Stephanie Uetrecht, 41, of Bend, said she thinks the Forest Service should consider spreading out parking and add-

ing more spaces to other trailheads along Skyliners Road.

“I would like to see more parking lots, but of smaller size so we are not concentrating everyone in one spot,” said Uetrecht, who rides trails in the Phil’s Trail complex four to five times a week during biking season.

She said she avoids riding

close to the parking lot on busy summer days because “it’s mayhem.”

While it considered other parking lots, Tinderholt said the Forest Service opted to keep parking concentrated at Phil’s Trailhead.

Ina McLean, 53, of Bend, said she thinks the Forest Service should consider putting in a campground near the trailhead along with the new parking lot. She rides the trails three to five times a week during riding season with her dog Mango, a 5-year-old Weimaraner. Often, she said, she sees campers parked at Phil’s Trailhead and tents set up in the nearby woods.

“I just think it would be a good way to bring more people into the area,” she said. “Not everyone likes to stay in a hotel.”

of colorectal cancer. But a major question remained: Did removing the polyps really save lives? In theory, it was possible that doctors were finding growths that would not have killed the patient, or missing ones that could be fatal.

“This study puts that argument to rest,” said Dr. David Rothenberger, a professor and deputy chairman of surgery at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center. He was not part of the study.

Robert Smith, the senior director for cancer control at the American Cancer Society, said, “This is a very big deal.”

A team of researchers led

by Dr. Sidney Winawer, a gastroenterologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, followed 2,602 patients who had adenomatous polyps removed during colonoscopies from 1980 to 1990. Doctors compared their death rate from colorectal cancer with that of the general population, where 25.4 deaths from the disease would have been expected in a group the same size. But among the polyp group, there were only 12 deaths from colorectal cancer, which translates into a 53 percent reduction in the death rate.

The new study did not compare colonoscopy with other

ways of screening for colorectal cancer and so does not fully resolve a long-standing medical debate about which method is best. Tests other than colonoscopy look for blood in the stool or use different techniques to examine the intestine. All the tests are unpleasant, and people are often reluctant to have them.

Although doctors have differed about which method is best, they agree that it is important to get over the squeamishness and have some type of test, usually starting at age 50. Screening is worthwhile because colorectal cancer is one of the few types of cancer (cervical and skin cancer are others) in which premalignant growths have been identified and the disease can be prevented if those growths are detected and cut out.

Research indicates that not every polyp turns into cancer but that nearly every colorectal tumor starts out as an adenomatous polyp.

Even if intestinal cancer has already developed, it can still be cured if it is found early and treated.

“Not all adenomas become cancers, and not all cancers cause death,” said Ann Zauber,the lead author of the study and a statistician at Sloan-Kettering. But in many

cases, she said, “we have gotten those that would have had the potential to go on and cause a cancer death.”

Smith, at the American Cancer Society, said the new study on colonoscopy was well-done and noted that changes in death rates can be difficult to measure because they require long-term studies like this one.

Colonoscopy does not have to be done every year: If there are no polyps, it is recommended just once every 10 years. People with polyps are usually told to have the test every three years.

But colonoscopy is expensive, costing hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on whether polyps are removed and on the part of the country where it is done. It also carries small risks of causing bleeding or perforation of the intestine.

And it requires sedation and usually taking strong, foultasting laxatives to clean out the intestines so that the doctor can look for polyps.

“Any screening is better than none,” Winawer said.

“The best test is the one that gets done, and that gets done well.”

His study was paid for by the National Cancer Institute, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and private foundations dedicated to colon cancer.

The Forest Service isn’t considering adding a campground at the trailhead or along Skyliners Road, Tinderholt said. “Our current campgrounds aren’t overutilized,” she said.

The nearest campground on Forest Service-managed land is along the Cascades Lakes Highway.

Saying he understands why the Deschutes National Forest is considering revamping the parking lot, Henry Abel, 40, of Bend, was glad to hear the plan includes a new toilet.

Abel, who sells bikes at Pine Mountain Sports, called the current pit toilet “woefully inadequate” for the number of people using it. “It’s a very, very stinky bathroom,” he said.

Facebook Continued from A1 “The issue of central assessment is not solved, but we had to bring clarity to enterprise zones,” McLane said.

The state plans to update the law that caused the initial confusion. The statute determines how communication companies are assessed, but the industry has evolved radically since the law was last updated in the 1970s.

“The clarity and certainty this legislation provides is critical to current and future data center operators in Oregon,” Facebook officials said in a statement.

The governor, who supports the Facebook bill, would like lawmakers to take a closer look at central assessment in the 2013 session.

W B Abkhazia’s president survives assassins MOSCOW — Unidentified assassins tried Wednesday to kill the president of Abkhazia, a Russian-backed rebel enclave of Georgia. The assailants used automatic rifles, grenade launchers and a powerful roadside bomb in an attack that raised fresh questions about Moscow’s ability to preserve order there.

The president, Alexander Ankvab, survived the attack without injury, but at least one bodyguard died and two more were seriously wounded. It was the sixth attempt on Ankvab’s life in less than a decade, a testament to the volatility of Abkhazia. When he was reached by telephone at his office in Abkhazia’s capital, Ankvab’s voice was faint and shaky.

France drops official use of ‘Mademoiselle’ PARIS — With nary a kiss to the hand nor tears of parting, the French government this week bids adieu to “Mademoiselle.”

In a memo addressed to state administrators across France, Prime Minister Francois Fillon ordered the honorific — akin to “damsel” and the equivalent of “miss” — banished from official forms and registries.

The use of “mademoiselle,” he wrote, made reference “without justification nor necessity” to a woman’s “matrimonial situation,” whereas “monsieur” has long signified simply “sir.”

Fillon’s order, signed on Tuesday, came after an advocacy campaign of several months by two French feminist organizations, “Osez le feminisme!” (“Dare to be feminist!”) and Les Chiennes de Garde (The Watchdogs). The government minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin, whose portfolio includes questions of “social cohesion,” pleaded the groups’ case with Fillon.

Justices appear open to affirming Stolen Valor Act • The Supreme Court is weighing a law making it a crime to lie about military honors

By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Over the course of an hourlong argument on Wednesday, the Supreme Court seemed gradually to accept that it might be able to uphold a federal law that makes it a crime to lie about military honors, notwithstanding the First Amendment’s free speech guarantees.

The justices were aided by suggestions from the government about how to limit the scope of a possible ruling in its favor and by significant concessions from a lawyer for the defendant.

The case arose from a lie told in 2007 at a public meeting by Xavier Alvarez, an elected member of the board of directors of a water district in Southern California.

“I’m a retired Marine of 25 years,” he said. “I retired in the year 2001. Back in 1987, I was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I got wounded many

Goggles Continued from A1 They have not seen the Google glasses. Few people have, because they are being built in the Google X offices, a secretive laboratory near Google’s main Mountain View, Calif., campus where engineers and scientists are also working on robots and space elevators.

The glasses will use the same Android software that powers Android smartphones and tablets. Like smartphones and tablets,

times by the same guy.”

That was all false, and Alvarez was prosecuted under a 2005 law, the Stolen Valor Act, which makes it a crime to say falsely that one has “been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States.” Alvarez argued that his remarks were protected by the First Amendment.

His case ran into trouble at the Supreme Court as it emerged that many justices accepted two fundamental propositions. First, most of the justices seemed to accept that the First Amendment does not protect calculated falsehoods that cause at least some kinds of harm. Second, there seemed to be something like a consensus that the government has a substantial interest in protecting the integrity of its system for honoring military distinction.

To arrive at those two propositions, the justices worked through any number of hypothetical questions and worried about the collateral dam-

ages to free speech values that a ruling upholding the law might generate.

Justice Stephen Breyer said it was all right to lie, for instance, when asked, “Are there Jews hiding in the cellar?”

Justice Samuel Alito suggested that it was acceptable to punish a false statement that “your child has just been run over by a bus.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked about false statements made while dating. Justice Elena Kagan asked about lies concerning extramarital affairs.

Chief Justice John Roberts asked whether Congress could make it a crime to lie about having a high school diploma.

Solicitor General Donald Verrilli responded that some states had indeed enacted laws concerning diplomas from public universities, and he indicated that they would be constitutional if they concerned calculated lies about verifiable facts that led to real harm.

Verrilli listed several laws that punish those kinds of falsehoods, including ones

prohibiting false statements to federal officials and banning the impersonation of federal officers, as well as perjury.

Similarly, he said, the Stolen Valor Act punishes only knowing falsehoods that result in “the misappropriation of the government-conferred honor and esteem,” which he called “a real harm and a significant harm.”

The hardest hypothetical question for the justices seemed to concern state laws that make it a crime for politicians to lie in some settings.

Verrilli said such laws might run afoul of the First Amendment because of their potential to chill truthful speech for fear of prosecution.

Kagan asked a lawyer for Alvarez, Jonathan Libby, whether the Stolen Valor Act posed the same problem.

“What truthful speech will this statute chill?” she asked.

Libby’s response seemed to surprise Kagan. “It’s not that it may necessarily chill any truthful speech,” he said. “We certainly concede that one typically knows whether or not

one has won a medal or not.”

Kagan considered what she had just heard. “So, boy, I mean, that’s a big concession, Mr. Libby,” she said.

Libby also acknowledged that the government may punish false speech that is intended to obtain something of value. Roberts asked whether Alvarez, who was politically active, benefited from his lie.

Libby said that was possible.

The chief justice said this, too, was “an awfully big concession.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy seemed to summarize the court’s conflicting impulses in the case. On the one hand, he said, the government should not establish “a Ministry of Truth.” On the other, he said of lies like Alvarez’s, “I have to acknowledge that this does diminish the medal in many respects.”

There was universal agreement on one point at Wednesday’s argument. No one spoke up for Alvarez, including his lawyer.

“Certainly, people are entitled to be upset by these false claims,” Libby said. “I mean, I’m personally upset by these false claims.”

the glasses will be equipped with GPS and motion sensors. They will also contain a camera and audio inputs and outputs.

Several people who have seen the glasses, but who are not allowed to speak publicly about them, said that the location information was a major feature of the glasses.

Through the built-in camera on the glasses, Google will be able to stream images to its rack computers and return augmented reality information to the person wearing them. For instance, a person looking at a landmark could

see detailed historical information and comments about it left by friends.

If facial recognition software becomes accurate enough, the glasses could remind a wearer of when and how he met the vaguely familiar person standing in front of him at a party. They might also be used for virtual reality games that use the real world as the playground.

People flailing their arms in midair as they play those games is a potentially humorous outcome of the virtual reality glasses. In a more serious vein is the almost certain pos-

sibility of privacy issues and ubiquitous advertisements.

When someone is meeting a person for the first time, for example, Google could hypothetically match the person’s face and tell people how many friends they share in common on social networks.

This month, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a research and advocacy group for Internet privacy, asked the Federal Trade Commission to suspend the use of facial recognition software until the government could come up with adequate safeguards and privacy standards to pro-

tect citizens.

Brinkman said he was very excited by the possibilities of the glasses, but acknowledged that the augmented reality glasses could pose some ethical issues.

“In addition to privacy, it’s also going to change realworld advertising, where companies can virtually place ads over other people’s ads,” he said. “I’m really interested in seeing how the government can successfully regulate augmented reality in this sense.

They are not really going to know what people are seeing behind those glasses.”

Israel invalidates military exemption JERUSALEM — The Israeli Supreme Court has invalidated a law that exempted from military service ultra-Orthodox Jews engaged in religious studies, adding a new urgency to the government’s negotiations with religious parties over a more equitable distribution of the burdens of citizenship.

The 6-to-3 decision, handed down late Tuesday, declared the so-called Tal Law unconstitutional at a time of growing tension in Israel over the place of the ultra-Orthodox. The law, in effect since 2002, granted exemptions to tens of thousands of religious academy students.

It was widely viewed as a failure, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had already said it would not be renewed when it expired this summer.

Strauss-Kahn released from jail PARIS — Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the financial power broker and former presidential hopeful whose political career was ruined last year after he was accused of attempted rape in New York, was released on Wednesday by police officials in the northern French city of Lille after a second day of questioning in an investigation into a prostitution ring accused of operating in France and Belgium.

A source close to the investigation said that he would be summoned again in March.

On Tuesday, Strauss-Kahn presented himself voluntarily to the Lille investigators who wanted to question him about accusations of complicity in activities related to prostitution in Paris and Washington, where two businessmen are accused of paying for orgies in 2010 and 2011. He was held overnight in a detention cell.

Chavez faces cancer surgery before vote CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is set to undergo a third surgery in his battle with cancer as he prepares to face the younger candidate of a newly unified opposition in October’s election.

Chavez said Tuesday that a previously unannounced trip to Cuba on Feb. 18 to undergo medical tests showed a lesion of about 2 centimeters in diameter in the same area where a tumor was removed in June.

At frequent flier fantasy camp, the journey is the point

By Scott Mayerowitz The Associated Press

ABOARD AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 9454 — Eric Mueller’s vacation started when his plane filled with smoke. Soon, people slid down an emergency chute, inflated life vests and climbed into a raft.

Mueller loved every minute of it.

Most days he runs a book review website. But on this day he was living out a fantasy at American Airlines’ flight attendant academy, practicing evacuation procedures most people hope to never use.

“I look at the safety card.

It’s not supposed to be a comic book of things you want to try, but it all just looks cool,” said Mueller, 40, of Los Angeles.

There are people who grew up wanting to be Mickey Mantle. They go to Yankees fantasy camp. Others dream of playing Carnegie Hall. They join the summer orchestra at the shore. Then there are aviation geeks like Mueller. People like him — and there are more than you think — charter a commercial airliner and hop across the country visiting the Meccas of the aviation world.

The most recent journey had 160 people paying up to $1,699 for a seat and access to spots normally off limits: Boeing’s sprawling 737 factory, American’s mission controllike operations center and the cockpit of the world’s largest passenger jet.

Tickets sold out in 17 minutes.

“This is sort of the ultimate airplane nerd event,” Mueller said.

Most people board a plane to escape to a tropical beach, see the Eiffel Tower or visit their family. For this group, the journey isn’t just half the fun. It’s the whole point.

They can differentiate between Boeing and Airbus jets just by looking at their tails.

They know that on even-numbered flights, meals are served first from the front left of the cabin, while on odd-numbered flights, it’s the back right.

“Usually in your life, you’re the only one who knows this stuff,” said Gabriel Leigh, 28, a filmmaker and writer from Hong Kong.

The camaraderie was part of the trip’s appeal. Sure, it was really cool to walk inside the first 747 ever built. But it was also fun to gulp down gin and tonics midair with other guys — three out of four passengers were male — who have the same passion for flying. How much fun? Well, American stocked the plane

with four times the liquor of a normal flight.

In each row, stories were swapped of amazing meals and opulent hotels in faraway lands — all paid for with frequent flier miles. These travelers don’t just love to fly; they are obsessed with collecting frequent flier miles at the cheapest possible cost.

The fliers, who ranged in age from 20 to 81 and hailed from as far away as Chile, India and Italy, know the ins and outs of the programs better than anybody else and share pointers in online travel forums such as MilePoint. One tip: prevent miles from expiring with a tiny online purchase at Target, Macy’s, iTunes or another retailer that’s part of the airline’s shopping portal.

Such expertise led American Airlines and several other travel companies to help set up the trip and use it to pick the brains of these veteran fliers. They wanted to know what these travelers like and hate about the loyalty programs. Airlines need to keep their most-frequent customers happy. The top 20 percent of American’s customers generate about 70 percent of its revenue.

That’s why Suzanne Rubin, the new president of the American’s frequent flier program — AAdvantage — hopped on the plane, along with other executives, for what she called a “crash course in customer research.”

Frequent flier mile mania For those who don’t travel frequently or play the mileage game, it can be daunting to understand the appeal of the programs. It’s not just about free trips for this group. It’s a hobby — some would say obsession — similar to collecting stamps or brewing your own beer.

“Everybody has an interest.

My neighbor polishes his 1967 Cadillac every other day,” said Tommy Danielson, 40, the director of sales at a telecommunications company. The Chicago resident organized the trip, called a MegaDo — frequent flier lingo for a large group of people meeting up to talk miles. It was the fourth such adventure Danielson has put together since 2009.

Along the way, there was plenty of bragging about mileage runs — cheap flights taken only to accumulate enough miles to qualify for elite status.

Michael Rubiano, a Silicon Valley product manager, did six such roundtrips to Chicago over eight days last month.

He would catch a flight after work, sleep on the way to Chi-

Teddy bears, bunk beds and playing ticket agent

Lou Pizzarello, front, and Randy Petersen participate in a water landing emergency exercise at the American Airlines training facility in Fort Worth, Texas. In the ultimate field trip for aviation geeks, 160 frequent fliers chartered an American Airlines jet and hopped across the country visiting aviation industry spots.

cago, immediately turn around and sleep on the flight home.

Rubiano, 41, then showered in the San Francisco lounge, changed clothes and went to work, only to repeat the trip eight hours later.

Each of his six tickets cost him less than $200 and, thanks to some bonus offers, earned him 11,076 miles on American to be used later for a dream vacation. All told, that gave him 66,456 miles and put him over the top in his annual quest to requalify for the airline’s top elite status.

With that status, he gets another year of upgrades, free liquor, waived bag frees, the ability to skip security lines and double miles on all his flights. Compare that to the folks in the back who get ... well, there’s a reason some in the industry refer to coach passengers as “self-loading freight.”

“There were numerous folks on my flights doing the exact same thing,” Rubiano said.

A free domestic coach ticket can be had for 25,000 miles.

But that’s not the goal. People in this group would rather shell out the $300 for the ticket and save for a big reward like flying first class to Asia for 125,000 miles, a ticket that normally sells for more than $10,000.

Once you start gaming the system, the miles rack up

fast. Those on the MegaDo trip have a lifetime average of 1.6 million miles — earned through flying and credit cards — with American alone.

The man with the most: Michael Joyce, 61, of Forest Park, Ill. His lifetime total is more than 44.4 million. (The top AAdvantage member has 77.6 million miles but wasn’t on this trip.) For eight years, Joyce, a former computer systems analyst, commuted between New York and Chicago. In 1994, he bought a lifetime unlimitedtravel pass for $500,000 and now hops around the world for fun.

Less than a third of the miles he generates are actually flown. The rest come from various bonuses. Joyce donates miles to his church and gives flights to friends who can’t afford vacations. He also bid 453,000 miles to secure a seat on the MegaDo. (The MegaDo also raised more than $65,000 for charity, auctioning off items like a Qantas deck of cards, British Airways pajamas, model airplanes, fluorescent yellow rain suits worn by American’s ground crew, two free tickets to Europe and 60,000 American miles.)

As with every good vacation, there was a chance to get souvenirs.

There was a stop at the Boeing store in Seattle — yes, there’s really a Boeing gift shop. It’s just south of downtown, steps away from the runway at Boeing Field. The group rushed in and stocked up on yellow 787 ties, aviator teddy bears, Boeing Christmas ornaments, garment belts fashioned out of airplane seatbelts and T-shirts saying: “If it’s not Boeing, I’m not going.”

But the real mementos were the photos. Most tourists snap shots in front of the pyramids, Machu Picchu or the Taj Mahal. At Los Angeles International Airport, this group pressed up against a chainlink fence to take photos of a Cathay Pacific 777 nose to nose with a Qantas A380.

There was something sexy about the way the two giant planes faced each other.

Once onboard, like kids set free on a playground, the passengers climbed into the cockpit, spread out in plush first class beds and crawled into the hidden bunk beds where crews nap during long transPacific flights. Moments later, photos were on Facebook.

But what else would you expect from folks who, during a tour of an elite check-in area, were excited to play airline ticket agent?

“If I could strap wings to my back, I would,” said Harry Livingston, 56, a former Navy flight surgeon, recreational pilot and emergency room doctor from New Rochelle, N.Y. Even the most mundane parts of flying excited this group. American chose to premier its new safety video on the flight. There were wild cheers and screams as it ran.

People recorded it with their iPhones and chanted “play it again” when it finished.

It turned out that one flight attendant working the trip was also featured in the video. She was treated like a movie star. When the video was over, the passengers did what star-struck fans do: they asked for her autograph — on seatback safety cards.

Train crash kills dozens in Buenos Aires

By Charles Newbery and Simon Romero New York Times News Service

PINAMAR, Argentina — A commuter train crashed at a busy central station in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, killing 49 passengers and injuring more than 600 people, the deadliest in a series of train accidents in Argentina over the past year.

The train, which runs from the ring of urban areas that surround greater Buenos Aires, crashed at about 8:30 a.m. at its final stop at the Once Station, not far from downtown Buenos Aires.

The train was carrying more than 800 passengers and traveling at an estimated 16 mph when it entered the station, slamming into the barrier of the platform, destroying the engine.

“It is a very serious accident,” Juan Pablo Schiavi, the national secretary of transportation, said in his initial assessment of the crash during a televised news conference outside the Once Station.

Schiavi said brake failure was the suspected cause.

“The train hit the bumper,” said Schiavi, “causing one car to crumple into another.”

He said one car pierced into another by nearly 20 feet.

By early afternoon, the police released an estimate of 49 deaths, including one child, and more than 600 injured.

The injured were taken to hospitals in the vicinity, Dr. Alberto Crescenti, head of the state emergency medical system, said on Argentine television Wednesday. He said around midday that an esti-

Firemen rescue wounded passengers from a commuter train after it crashed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday.

The packed train slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires’ busy Once station, killing dozens and injuring hundreds.

mated 30 people were trapped in the wreckage.

Passengers told the local media that the train, which is operated by the private company Trenes de Buenos Aires, was traveling faster than normal and had struggled to slow down when braking at stations ahead of Once Station.

Trenes de Buenos Aires said in a statement that the reasons for the crash have not been determined, although the company acknowledged that the train “wasn’t able to stop.”

Video footage of the crash taken by people at the scene showed people walking along the platform, with screams audible. People were pulling others out of the wreckage.

“I saw a lot of people bleeding and some who were trapped,” said one survivor, a 23-year-old woman, quoted by

the newspaper Clarin.

In September, a commuter train on the same line crashed into a passenger bus and hit a second train at the Flores Station, killing 11 and injuring more than 200. The bus had crossed the tracks when the barrier was down. In February 2011, four people were killed in a collision of two trains.

The newspaper La Nacion said Wednesday’s accident was the third-deadliest in Argentina history, surpassed only by a 1972 collision that killed 142 people and a 1978 accident involving trains and other vehicles that left 55 dead.

W.Va. mine supervisor charged in 2010 blast

By Sabrina Tavernise New York Times News Service

Federal prosecutors Wednesday filed charges against Gary May, a superintendent of the West Virginia coal mine where an explosion left 29 dead in 2010.

May is the third mine supervisor to be charged in the wake of the disaster, the worst mining accident in the United States in 40 years. Last year charges were brought against two others — the mine’s security chief and a foreman who had not been at the mine on the day of the explosion.

But May, one of the mine’s two superintendents, is the most senior, and industry observers say the charges against him are an indication that prosecutors are getting closer to the executives who ran the company, Massey Energy, which has since been bought by Alpha Natural Resources.

“They’re moving up in the food chain,” said Tony Oppegard, a Kentucky lawyer who defends miners.

“This will cause some sleepless nights for people high up in the corporate ladder.”

Indeed, the way the charges were filed — directly to the court by prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s office, instead of by an indictment of a grand jury — indicate that May is cooperating with prosecutors, a strategy that observers say could eventually lead prosecutors to top executives, including Don Blankenship, the former head of Massey, who state investigations concluded had enforced a culture of cutting corners and ignoring risks for the sake of profit.

The charges, filed in federal court in West Virginia, includes conspiracy to defraud the United States by impeding a federal agency, a felony that is punishable by up to five years in prison.

IN BRIEF Microsoft takes aim at Google Microsoft filed a complaint Wednesday with EU antitrust authorities accusing Google and Motorola Mobility, a smartphone company the Internet search giant plans to buy, of charging too much for use of its patents, marking a new stage in a long-running feud between Microsoft and Google.

“We have taken this step because Motorola is attempting to block sales of Windows PCs, our Xbox game console and other products,” David Heiner, a senior Microsoft lawyer, wrote in a blog post Wednesday.

The move raises pressure on Google, which reached an agreement last year to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in its largest deal to date.

Google already is under investigation by EU authorities for possible abuses of a dominant position in online search and advertising.

Microsoft is among the complainants in that case, too.

State to issue 2nd round of aid Details scant in for distressed homeowners • Up to 500 Central Oregonians will have a chance to participate

By Elon Glucklich The Bulletin

The state made nearly $3 million in mortgage payments for about 350 Central Oregon homeowners last year as part of a federal housing assistance program.

Rolled out in late 2010, the national program has helped troubled homeowners in parts of the country hardest hit by the housing market crash, including Oregon.

Now, up to 500 more distressed homeowners in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties, laid off from work

and facing notices of default or foreclosure, have a chance to secure federal funding and get out of trouble.

Enrollees in the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative’s mortgage payment assistance plan have had their mortgage payments made for them. The program, aimed specifically at homeowners who have suffered a loss of income, provides mortgage payments for up to one year, or for a total of $20,000 — whichever is reached first.

By the end of 2011, 349

Central Oregon homeowners were enrolled in the program, said OHSI spokesman Ben Pray. Those homeowners had about $2.9 million in mortgage payments authorized by the assistance fund.

Statewide, the program has made about $40 million in mortgage payments.

And the state is opening up 500 new slots for Central Oregon enrollees this year.

Slots are made available by county, based on the need in the area, as determined by the state. Seventy-five spots are open this year for Des-

Construction hiring picks up Construction hiring is picking up as Americans invest in renovating their homes amid signs that the worst of the housing-market declines may be over.

The number of people working in residential remodeling grew 5.8 percent in December to 250,700 from a year earlier, based on preliminary data released this month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This was the highest growth for these jobs, which account for about 5 percent of construction employment, since December 2006, before the housing bubble burst.

RETURN OF THE

MALE SHOPPER • And this time he’s branching out beyond the basics and loading up on accessories

By Stephanie Clifford • New York Times News Service

H

e’s back. The male shopper, who pretty much was missing at the onset of the recession, is buying again. And to the delight of retailers, he is not just stocking up on suits and dress shirts, but also doing something women have been doing for years: binging on accessories.

Bracelets. Bags. Hats. Umbrellas. Even fur stoles. Men are buying so many accessories that some forecasters predict sales growth for men’s clothing and accessories during the first three months of this year will set a 20-year high.

“That guy had been away for a while during the tougher times,” said David Witman, general merchandise manager of Nordstrom’s men’s division.

To get traditional women’s accessories to appeal to men, some designers are giv-

ing them manly names and styles. That’s not really a bracelet; it’s wristwear. And that’s not a purse, nor the dreaded murse, but a holdall.

“It doesn’t look like you borrowed it from your girlfriend,” Nicolas Travis, 24, a business school student who runs the blog Style Flavors, said of the manned-up styles he prefers. “A little bit more bling, and you run the risk of it looking a bit more feminine.”

The return of the male shopper could have broad consequences for the econ-

omy. Retail sales plummeted during the recession, with men’s apparel sales dropping almost twice as fast as women’s in 2009, according to an IBM Global Business Services analysis of retail data.

Women started buying again, and that helped push the recovery along. But men held off on buying apparel and accessories until last year, when estimated men’s sales rose more than 8 percent, outpacing the growth in women’s sales.

corporate tax plan

By Jim Puzzanghera and Kathleen Hennessey Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s proposal to lower the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 35 percent shows a growing consensus in Washington that many companies need to pay less in taxes for the U.S. to stay competitive globally.

But exactly how to do that — and which companies should pay more to make up the difference — remains elusive in a volatile election year.

Democrats and Republicans have starkly different ideas about how far to lower corporate tax rates and whether changes to individual tax rates, including the Bush-era cuts that expire at the end of the year, should be part of the reform debate.

Obama laid down his marker Wednesday with a 23-page framework for a plan to eliminate dozens of breaks for specific industries, particularly oil and gas production, and new incentives for domestic manufacturing and alternative energy.

Existing home sales are up Sales of previously owned homes rose in January to the highest level since May 2010 as investors took advantage of lower prices to buy distressed properties.

Purchases climbed 4.3 percent to a 4.57 million annual rate, less than forecast, from a revised 4.38 million pace in December that was slower than previously estimated, a report from the National Association of Realtors showed Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Distressed properties made up the largest portion of all purchases since April.

Almost one in four of all transactions was made by investors.

That’s helping to clear the market of unsold properties and may stabilize prices.

CLOSE $34.239 CHANGE -$0.174

By Andrew Pollack New York Times News Service

A federal advisory panel Wednesday overwhelmingly recommended approval of what could become the first new prescription drug to treat obesity in 13 years.

The advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration voted 20-2 that the benefits from the weight loss

provided by the drug, Qnexa, more than offset the potential risks of heart problems and birth defects.

The strongly positive vote, which was not widely expected, represents a stunning comeback for Qnexa and for its developer, the drug company Vivus.

In 2010, the same advisory committee, with a somewhat

different membership, recommended 10-6 against approval, and the FDA then rejected the drug.

Some committee members who opposed it last time said they were reassured that steps would be taken to minimize the risks, such as by making it hard for pregnant women to get the drug.

They also seemed persuaded

by the view expressed by Vivus and by some obesity specialists who testified at the hearing that obesity itself causes health problems and that there is a pressing need for treatments.

The FDA is expected to decide whether to approve Qnexa by April 17. It usually follows the recommendations of its outside advisers.

Finding joy in a materially simple life

By Gregory Karp Chicago Tribune

Many times, simple is hard.

That’s especially true when we talk about overspending on stuff, which can lead to debt and stress.

It’s easy to say you’d like to simplify your life and buy less. But how do you do that? How do you harness the desire for material things? How can you simplify without feeling deprived?

Danny Kofke’s family of four has lived for years on his teacher’s salary of about $40,000, yet he doesn’t feel deprived. He has a 50-inch, high-definition flat-screen television, and he has taken his daughters on vacation to Disney World. But he doesn’t have many other things his neighbors do.

It’s a choice, said Kofke, author of the book, “A Simple Book of Financial Wisdom: Teach Yourself (and Your Kids) How to Live Wealthy With Little Money.”

“We have nice things; we just don’t have it all,” he said.

Wanting less means he can afford to keep his teaching job, which he loves. He doesn’t understand when people say he’s “trapped” in a low-paying job.

“I have the freedom to do what I want to do,” he said.

If you have found that keeping up with Joneses has become an all-out sprint and you’re tired of it, here are some notions that can help.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Men Continued from B1 Spending on accessories is driving the men’s category: Those sales grew 14 percent in the last half of 2011, to about $6 billion, according to the market research firm NPD Group.

“Men were the last to start spending coming out of the recession,” said Eric Jennings, fashion director for menswear at Saks Fifth Avenue.

“If they learned one thing through the recession, it’s that looking schlumpy is not going to help you keep your job, get promoted or get a new job. I think they’re taking their appearance more seriously.”

The rebound in shopping may also reflect an improved jobs picture for men, who

were hit disproportionately hard over the recession. The gap between men’s and women’s employment rates was about as high as it had ever been as the recovery started in June 2009. Only last month did the men’s and women’s unemployment rates reach the same level.

The male models walking the runway at New York Fashion Week shows this month wore, among other adornments, scarves that could double as blankets; belts, pocket squares and fur neckwear; caps and handbags; feather necklaces; and metal cuffs.

Jewelry designers and fashion executives say the trend comes largely from Italy and Japan, where men throw on silky scarves or pile on brace-

Simplify

lets and berets with nonchalance. Given the proliferation of street-style blogs, young men, in particular, can quickly adopt trends from overseas.

Jennings, of Saks, also points to TV shows like “Boardwalk Empire” as a big influence, where the cool characters dress with panache.

The bracelet is perhaps the most striking example of the accessory craze.

It is hard to imagine the archetypal businessmen of recent decades — the powersuited broker of the 1980s, the khakis-and-blue-oxfordshirt-wearer of the ’90s, or the hoodie-clad tech titans of the 2000s — selecting a piece of jewelry each morning as they dressed for work. But now, fashion executives say, sales of men’s bracelets, espe-

or staying out of the shopping mall.

Changing trends

Continued from B1

Perhaps times are changing. The 2011 MetLife Study of the American Dream found “emerging trends that show Americans are less concerned with material issues, and that life’s traditional markers of success — getting married, buying a house, having a family, building wealth — do not matter as much today. Rather, achieving a sense of personal fulfillment is more important toward realizing the American Dream than accumulating material wealth,” the study says. “This is a significant shift, as it reflects that Americans value close relationships with family and friends as more important than money, and that being content with what they have and balancing work/life issues are more important than ‘living large.’ Today, material positions matter less, and personal relationships matter more.”

Contentment Simplifying is foremost a mind-set. Many Americans are on what economists call a “hedonic treadmill” in the game of life. As they earn more, they want more and consume more. They never get closer to their goal of contentment, as if they were on a treadmill. The rules of the treadmill game are, “Whoever dies with the most toys wins.” The notion of the simplifying game is, “It’s not about having what you want, but wanting what you have.”

Enough When is enough enough?

What’s the dollar figure at which you feel you earn enough? How many pairs of shoes are enough? How many televisions in your home are enough? Too often the answers aren’t numbers. The answer is “more.” By definition, that means you can never be satisfied.

“Unless you’ve asked how much is enough for you, how will you ever know when you’ve arrived, when you can call off your own personal ‘war for more’ and be happy?” said Jeff Yeager, author of “The Cheapskate Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of Americans Living Happily Below Their Means.”

Calendar trick Brainstorm a list of what’s truly important to you. Then open your calendar and your checkbook (or credit card

statement). How did you spend your time and money during the past few months? The answer is evidence of what has been important to you in the past because that’s where you spent your time and money.

How does that match up with what you want to be important in the future?

If you’re having trouble coming up with what’s important, imagine yourself on your deathbed contemplating life’s regrets. It can start with, “I wish I ...” Rarely would the finish to that sentence be, “bought the latest smartphone.” Your list of important things becomes the basis for goal setting. When you have goals, it makes saying “no” to immediate purchases far easier, mostly because you have a specific reason to tell yourself “no.”

Fiscal fast Conduct an experiment to determine what it’s like to live with less. Start cutting expenses, especially optional ones that show up on your credit

Cool your desire to buy more by taking stock of all you already have: school supplies, groceries, cleaning products, party supplies, clothes and personal care items.

“We’re so quick to run to the store that we don’t stop a minute and see what we have,” said Annette Economidies, co-author with her husband of “America’s Cheapest Family Gets You Right On The Money.” An exercise: Every night before you fall asleep, recall everything you bought that day, Yeager said.

10-10-10 Before making a big or complicated purchase, ask yourself how it will affect your life in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years. Espoused by Suzy Welch in her book, “10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea,” it makes decisions less impulsive and more deliberate.

Cool off When you’re hit with a desire to spend on a discretionary purchase, wait. Some say wait a day for every $100 in purchase price.

Simple simplicity If all that advice is too complex, consider this advice: Identify what’s important to you. Eliminate everything else. Kofke said simplifying his spending makes all the difference for his family.

“I think we have it good, and we have enough,” he said.

Temptation Don’t make simplifying harder than it needs to be. Stay away from advertising and try to eliminate temptations. That might mean unsubscribing from retail emails and catalogs

Taxes Continued from B1 “Our current corporate tax system is outdated, unfair and inefficient,” he said.

“It provides tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas and hits companies that choose to stay in America with one of the highest tax rates in the world.”

Key Republicans welcomed Obama’s call for a lower corporate rate.

But they said his proposal wouldn’t reduce the rates enough and that his broad framework needed much more detail.

The GOP also wants to tackle corporate and individual taxes at the same time, laying the groundwork for a nasty and complex battle this fall as Republicans fight to save all the Bush tax cuts.

Obama wants to let the tax cuts expire for households making more than $250,000 a year.

“It’s official: President Obama, congressional leaders of both political parties and the Republican candidates for president all support lowering corporate tax rates,” said John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, a top industry trade group. “Now let the debate begin.”

Political stakes Legislative action on taxes probably will have to wait until after the November elections because the topic is tightly intertwined with key campaign issues, including how best to boost job creation, how to limit the growing size of government and whether large corporations and wealthy individuals are paying their fair share.

Highlighting the political stakes, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney chose Wednesday to release a tax plan of his own, one that called for slashing individual rates by one-fifth. He had previously called for a deeper corporate tax-rate cut, to 25 percent, which is the same as proposed by a key House Republican.

Other Republican presidential candidates want to go further. Rick Santorum is calling for a 17.5 percent corporate rate, and Newt Gingrich wants it to drop to 12.5 percent.

Engler, as well as Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, criticized Obama’s plan for

You might cut all spending for a period.

“If you go for a week without spending money, it reminds you of how much stuff you already have,” Yeager said.

If you’re unwilling to cut expenses right away, at least track your spending for a few months to learn exactly where your money is going. Subtotal expenses into categories. Or, as you prepare income tax returns, look back at 2011 expenses and do a “what was I thinking?” examination, Yeager said. Look for spending trends and triggers for overspending. When you learn you spend $800 a month dining out, ask an important question, “Is that what I want to spend money on?”

cially thin versions in leather or metal, are increasing at a rapid pace.

“Bracelets are on fire right now,” said Tim Bess, who analyzes men’s fashions for the Doneger Group, a trend forecaster. “I’d say it’s the No. 1 look for the young man.”

Tateossian, a London-based jewelry designer, says sales of its men’s bracelets rose 30 percent in 2011.

“You can go to a meeting, and it will be discreetly hidden under your sleeve with just a piece showing,” said Robert Tateossian, the company’s chief executive. “You will look sharp, you will look professional, and you will have that complete look. In a way, it’s how to look polished without looking like a banker.”

not lowering taxes on foreign earnings. Both industry groups want corporate profits abroad to be taxed only by the country in which they are earned. The U.S. now taxes those earnings when they are brought back to the country.

Obama rejected that idea.

Instead, he proposed a new minimum tax rate for foreign earnings that companies would be required to pay even if they did not bring those profits back to the U.S. That provision is part of Obama’s effort to use the corporate tax code to provide incentives for domestic manufacturing while reducing the tax advantages for companies to build facilities overseas.

His plan, so far, doesn’t specify what that new minimum rate on foreign earnings would be, one of many details the administration is leaving to Congress.

Some specifics Through the expansion of some widely used breaks, such as one for research and development, the administration wants to reduce the overall rate that domestic manufacturers pay — known as the effective tax rate — to no more than 25 percent from the current 32 percent.

The administration’s tax plan would not add to the budget deficit because the elimination of dozens of existing breaks would raise an additional $250 billion over the next 10 years, enough to offset the cost of the lower rate and a smaller set of targeted tax breaks.

The administration wants to get rid of several oil and gas industry tax breaks, such as the ability to write off certain costs related to drilling and the use of wells.

Offsetting those cuts would be an expansion of tax incentives for alternative energy investment, including a permanent tax credit, now temporary, for the production of electricity from renewable sources.

The plan also would eliminate a tax break for hedge fund managers, private equity partners and other managers in partnerships.

Most of their pay, known as carried interest, now is subject to a capital gains tax of 15 percent. Under Obama’s plan, that income would be taxed at their ordinary income level, which could be as high as 35 percent.

In Shanghai court, Apple defends its rights to the iPad trademark

By David Barboza New York Times News Service

SHANGHAI — Apple Inc. defended itself in a local court here Wednesday against allegations that it does not own rights to the iPad trademark in China, a challenge that threatens to prevent the company from selling one of its most popular products in one of its fastest-growing markets.

The heated, four-hour session at the Shanghai Pudong New Area People’s Court ended, though, without the local district judge issuing any ruling or giving any public indication of how the case would be resolved.

The session came after a Chinese company called Proview International succeeded in blocking sales of the iPad in several smaller Chinese cities, and getting the authorities in several cities to seize iPads from some retailers.

But Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai are continuing to stock and sell the iPad, and they are among the busiest Apple stores in the world.

The case pits Apple, the technology Goliath, against a small Chinese computerdisplay maker that has already filed for bankruptcy but seems determined to force Apple to cough up a

To qualify, homeowners must be unemployed and receiving unemployment insurance. Applications are sorted

by OHSI, a division of the state Housing and Community Service Department, with a set number of spaces in the program granted every two weeks between now and July. “We see it as sort of a life preserver,� Pray said. “We’re paying the mortgage, so (enrollees) can clear up other debts, resume making payments to avoid foreclosure — just sustain themselves during difficult times.�

Payment from the mortgage assistance plan comes from Troubled Asset Relief Program funds, first authorized in 2008. But the Hardest Hit Fund, started in 2010,

Diet pill Continued from B1 In 2011, it rejected a different obesity drug that had been endorsed by the advisory committee.

Vivus shares, which did not trade during regular hours Wednesday, nearly doubled in after-hours trading to $21.05. Shares of Orexigen Therapeutics and Arena Pharmaceuticals, two other small companies trying again for approval again after their obesity drugs were rejected in the past two years, also rose after hours.

The FDA has traditionally been cautious about diet pills because of previous safety issues, such as the

fortune for the rights to the trademark.

Apple, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., contends that one of its subsidiaries acquired the rights to the iPad trademark from Proview in 2009, for about $55,000.

In a statement released Wednesday, Apple said: “We bought Proview’s worldwide rights to the iPad trademark in 10 different countries several years ago. Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China, and a Hong Kong court has sided with Apple in this matter. Our case is still pending

in mainland China.�

But Proview claims that Apple did not obtain all the rights, and contends its Shenzhen subsidiary retains the rights in China.

Xie Xianghui, one of the lawyers representing Proview, said in a telephone interview Wednesday: “There’s no result from today’s hearing. Both sides just exchanged new evidence.�

Meanwhile, Proview continues to do all it can to disrupt Apple’s sales of the iPad in China, going to authorities in various cities claiming it owns the rights.

first made a policy of diverting TARP funds to individual homeowners in states with above-average unemployment rates.

The U.S. Treasury Department has doled out $7.6 billion in TARP funds to 18 of the most economically distressed states — including Oregon — as well as the District of Columbia, since late 2010.

Each state has used its share of funding to create programs aimed at helping homeowners at risk of foreclosure.

Oregon has received its share, totaling $220 million, to implement its mortgage payment program, and to roll out several other, largely untapped programs still in development, Pray said. Those include loan modification and preservation assistance programs, as well as a pilot program to purchase underwater mortgages in Deschutes and Jackson counties.

But the Mortgage Payment Assistance Program is leading the way. It’s a program Fritz, of NeighborImpact, calls “absolutely unique� in

its direct assistance from the federal government to the individual homeowner. “It’s a terrific opportunity for homeowners who are at risk of losing their home to get back on their feet,� Fritz said.

NeighborImpact administers the program for the three Central Oregon counties. Fritz said the agency has worked with the state to promote the mortgage assistance plan. The program was underutilized in its first round, she said, especially in Crook and Jefferson counties. “We had some concern that people might think it’s a scam,� a deal too good to be true, Fritz said.

The idea might seem just that.

Pray, with OHSI, said that, for a lot of distressed homeowners who heard about the program when it first rolled out in late 2010 and early 2011, “It may have appeared to be something that was too good to be true.�

heart valve damage caused by a component of the fenphen combination.

The only prescription diet drug for long-term use is Roche’s Xenical, approved in 1999 but rarely prescribed because of limited effectiveness and embarrassing side effects.

That has led to pressure on the FDA to take obesity more seriously. “Our members are telling us they are frustrated because there really aren’t enough tools in the toolbox,� Joseph Nadglowksi Jr., president of the Obesity Action Coalition, testified.

The coalition represents obesity patients but also counts Vivus as a member,

testified to the committee.

Qnexa is a combination of two existing drugs — the stimulant phentermine, which was the surviving part of the fen-phen combination, and the epilepsy and migraine drug topiramate, also known by the brand name Topamax.

Use of Qnexa led to an average weight loss of around 10 percent of body weight after one year, although some weight was gained back in the second year. There also seemed to be positive effects on blood pressure and blood sugar, some blood lipids, and quality of life.

But the drug also increased heart rate.

Guilty plea in Desert Sun case

Officials to decide on spotted frog’s status Ex-high

Bend developer Tyler Fitzsimons, 33, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a variety of mortgage and loan fraud charges relating to the collapse of his company, Desert Sun Development, the Oregon Department of Justice said.

According to court documents, Fitzsimons and others in the company submitted fraudulent documents to various banks to obtain financing, causing financial institutions to lose $19 million. Fitzsimons pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bank fraud and money laundering. He will be sentenced on Oct. 9.

Several others involved with the company and these cases have already pleaded guilty and their sentences are pending.

Conspiracy to commit bank fraud carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Bank fraud carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine, while money laundering carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Nearly two decades after federal scientists said the Oregon spotted frog might be an endangered species, they’re now set to determine whether it will indeed hop under Endangered Species Act protection.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will review whether the frog — which is found in Central Oregon wetlands and high lakes — warrants an ESA listing and make a determination by May 2013, said Janet Lebson, spokeswoman for the agency in Portland.

In 1993, Fish and Wildlife

Service scientists determined that the amphibian warranted listing for protection.

In the 19 years since, though, other species took precedence in the lengthy ESA candidate review process.

“We (were) dealing with those higher priorities,” Lebson said.

A list of the species given higher priority was not immediately available from the Fish and Wildlife Service.

The review of the Oregon spotted frog is part of a nationwide effort by the agency to review about 250 candidate species in the next six years.

Redmond seeking ideas High school principal for Dry Canyon building

REDMOND — An old house in the Dry Canyon — which many believe to be Redmond’s oldest building — may get a second life as a restaurant, rental shop and meeting place serving those who use the city’s largest park.

Redmond planned to demolish the structure last year as it upgraded the parking lot north of Black Butte Boulevard, but researchers found that the building may have been built in 1905 — five years before the city’s incorporation — and might have served as a schoolhouse.

So the building went undisturbed as roadwork was completed. Now it sits boarded up by the side of the road, largely ignored by everyone but aspiring graffiti artists.

Submission requirements: Include as much detail as possible — when and where you took it, and any special technique used — as well as your name, hometown and phone number. Photos must be high resolution (at least 6 inches wide and 300 dpi) and cannot be altered.

Former Redmond High School principal Jon Bullock will take over as interim director of Redmond Proficiency Academy in the absence of Michael Bremont, the director arrested Saturday on suspicion of having sexual contact with an underage student.

Bullock, currently the Redmond School District’s part-time director of strategic planning, said he offered his assistance to the RPA board of directors shortly after news of Bremont’s arrest broke.

He said he’s been providing consulting services to RPA since the start of the school year, and is familiar with the school’s staff and mission.

Redmond Superintendent Shay Mikalson said in a news release he has confidence in Bullock.

Behind the scenes, the city is working to restore the building and transform the space around it into a gathering spot similar to Centennial Park in downtown Redmond. The plan is to offer the space to a vendor willing to develop the location.

“I see a jewel that just needs a little touching up,” said Redmond Community Development Director Heather Richards during a Redmond Parks Commission meeting on Tuesday night. “We want to put together a request for proposals ... saying we have a need here for a concessionaire, we have a building to preserve and we will add this much to the project. Now, what is your plan?”

The parks commission unanimously approved the plan to issue a request for proposals Tuesday.

Jay Mathisen, the outgoing principal, will take over as Bend-La Pine Schools’ human resources director on July 1. Matt Montgomery, the school’s current assistant principal, was the only finalist from within the district.

The other three finalists are Lisa Petersen, principal

of Siuslaw Middle School in Florence; Colfax (Wash.)

High School Principal Gary Weitz; and Wade Pilloud, a high school principal in the Marsing (Idaho) Joint School District.

In the coming weeks, the district hopes to fill the position that will pay between $105,050 and $114,003, including retirement benefits.

More than 20 staff and community members attended the forum at the school, asking questions of each candidate.

Weather Continued from C1 Murphy said ODOT crews will on occasion remove damaged or dying trees near highways, but are unable to remove every tree that could potentially be blown over during a storm. “You can’t tell which ones are bad until they fall over,� Murphy said.

The lifts never ran Wednesday at Mt. Bachelor, with resort management deciding it was too windy before the 9 a.m. scheduled opening. Resort spokesman Andy Goggins said overnight and early morning winds had downed a handful of trees, and caked many of the lifts with a few inches of rime ice. “It’s the worst I’ve seen,�

Goggins said Wednesday afternoon. “This is only my second winter here, but it’s pretty windy here at the base area. All of our instruments are down so it’s hard to predict what the wind speeds actually are, but my guess is sustained 50 to 60 mph here at the base.�

Mt. Bachelor expects to be ready to open today, though the Outback, Northwest Express and Summit lifts are likely to remain closed. Goggins said snow has been accumulating through the windstorm, and by the weekend, the mountain should see powdery conditions with more favorable weather.

Just over a month ago, heavy snows forced Mt. Bachelor to suspend operations for what — at the time — was only the second closure in more than 20 years.

Power outages Wednesday’s winds knocked trees into power lines in the Camp Sherman area, knocking out power to approximately 110 customers, Central Electric Cooperative spokesman Jeff Beaman said. Beaman said as of 4:30 p.m., power had been restored at nearly all of the affected addresses.

One downed power line ignited a detached garage on Metke Lane at around 9:30 a.m., destroying the Camp Sherman structure and its contents.

Pacific Power spokesman Tom Gauntt said his company had no widespread outages reported in Central Oregon on Wednesday.

The environmental groups filed a lawsuit urging the agency to make decisions that had been left in status limbo for years, including one about the Oregon spotted frog.

The frog is “teetering on the brink of extinction,� said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director for the Center for Biological Diversity. “The Oregon spotted frog badly needs the help that only the Endangered Species Act can give it, so we’re glad to see that it’s one step closer,� he said in a statement.

west of Bend, according to Fish and Wildlife Service maps.

While scientists have been studying the frogs for years, they don’t have population numbers, said Jennifer O’Reilly, a Fish and Wildlife Service biologist in Bend.

While invasive bullfrogs in the Willamette Valley have pushed out the native Oregon spotted frogs, she said their Central Oregon cousins are most impacted by habitat lost to drained wetlands, the reintroduction of fish to lakes and fire suppression. The frogs typically breed in wetlands regrowing after a forest fire.

As part of the Oregon spotted frog review, O’Reilly said the Fish and Wildlife Service is looking for information about the frog in Central Oregon from other agencies, watershed councils and recreation groups, such as anglers. “We are really trying to cast a broad net,� she said.

La Pine Continued from C1 Among the questioners, Bend High School Principal H.D. Weddel asked what the finalists would focus on to continue La Pine High’s improvement.

The school should put more emphasis on science, math and post-secondary education, Petersen said. “Just finishing high school is not enough now,� said Petersen, adding that La Pine High must find ways to prepare students for anything from vocational school to a four-year university.

Since 2007, Petersen has been principal at Siuslaw Middle School. Petersen has also worked in that district as Siuslaw High School assistant principal and as a high school teacher in Junction City.

Petersen holds a bachelor’s

degree in social sciences and secondary education, as well as a master’s degree in counseling, from Oregon State University.

At La Pine High since 2010, Montgomery has also been dean of students at Poynter Middle School in Hillsboro, where he taught several subjects, including physical education, health and math. Montgomery also taught at Glencoe High School.

Montgomery graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health, and he holds a master’s degree in instructional leadership from Concordia University.

Not only should the school improve how it prepares graduates for college or jobs, it should also help students find role models, Montgomery said. “We need to find more op-

portunities — and it’s challenging when we’re cutting programs — for students to foster and build relationships with adult figures in the community,� Montgomery said.

Pilloud began his current job in 2007, and has also worked in the South Koochiching/Rainy River (Minn.) School District, and as both superintendent and principal at the Bug-ONay-Ge-Shig (Minn.) School.

Pilloud has two bachelor’s degrees — in social studies and history — and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Bemidji State University in Minnesota.

Though he had researched the school, Pilloud said he was in no position to pick a focus yet. That would come after he’d met with staff about La Pine High’s needs. “I can’t tell you exactly what we need to do. There’s lots of different directions we can

2221 NE 3rd St. • 541.389.4271

go,� he said.

Weitz became Colfax High principal in 2006, and before that was a principal in Pateros (Wash.) School District. Additionally, he has been a middle school principal in Washington and, in Umatilla, a high school vice-principal and athletic director.

Additionally, Weitz taught high school in Milton-Freewater.

Weitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in teacher education from Eastern Oregon University.

Weitz said he would work to connect with parents and community members. “You must operate a collegial and congenial climate out of your building. That positive climate, that positive learning environment is where it starts.� — Reporter: 541-633-2161, pcliff@bendbulletin.com

O N Klamath County jail levy is placed on ballot

SOUTHERN OREGON

The Associated Press KLAMATH FALLS — Voters have been asked to approve a property tax increase to keep the Klamath County jail from freeing suspects who then skip their court dates.

Like many counties in Oregon’s timber country, Klamath has struggled to keep its law enforcement system intact in the face of declining revenue from the federal government’s timber sales. It’s now facing cuts in jail capacity.

Two years ago, levy proponents say, the county closed jail cells. Nonviolent offenders were booked and released, and they repeatedly failed to show up for appearances in court.

County commissioners voted 2-1 Tuesday to put the three-year levy on the May 15 ballot, the Herald and News reported.

The levy would raise $1.6 million a year. The owner of a $200,000 home would pay $80 a year.

The levy proposal has been in the works for months, as the county sought ways to fund law enforcement despite increasing costs, shrinking property tax revenue and the possibility of an end to a federal program designed to help ease the impact of a longterm decline in federal timber payments.

Opponents of the measure say Klamath County residents can’t afford the property tax increase, and the county would be better served cutting other services to pay for the jail.

The commissioners were set to vote last week on a smaller levy for just the jail, but two of them, Al Switzer and Cheryl Hukill, argued for additional revenue to prevent layoffs of prosecutors and corrections counselors.

That led to a no vote Tuesday from Commissioner Dennis Linthicum.

“We keep adding additional interests to the levy and I’m wondering where it will stop,” he said. “Who will stop it?”

Hukill said that law enforcement is a system, and it requires more than just a jail.

“If we don’t catch these kids when they’re young, they ride the system all the way to the jail,” she said.

2 homeless men shot under bridge PORTLAND — Two homeless men sleeping in a warehouse area along the Willamette River in Portland were shot in what appears to be a random, drive-by attack, police said.

One victim was conscious when he was sent to the hospital Wednesday morning, but police said his chest wound could be lifethreatening. The other man was grazed. Neither was immediately identified.

Witnesses told police the shots were fired from a black pickup truck.

The Oregonian quoted a police spokesman as saying the attack appeared to be at random.

“I have never heard of anything like this,” said Lt. Robert King said.

The men were near the eastern end of the Morrison Bridge. The east-side industrial and warehouse area is a popular sleeping spot for homeless people in Portland.

Loriann Earp, center, cries with her husband, Justin Earp, on Wednesday in their home in Eagle Point, as they view photos of their daughter, Ashley Long, 14, who died after inhaling helium at a party.

Eagle Point teen dies after inhaling helium

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

EAGLE POINT — Last weekend, 14-year-old Ashley Long told her parents she was going to a slumber party. But instead of spending the night watching videos and eating popcorn two blocks away, she piled into a car with a bunch of her friends and rode to a condo in Medford, where police say the big sister of one of her friends was throwing a party with booze and marijuana.

After drinking on the drive, and downing more drinks in the condo, it came time for Ashley to take her turn on a tank of helium that everyone else was inhaling to make their voices sound funny.

“That helium tank got going around,” said Ashley’s stepfather, Justin Earp, who learned what happened from talking to Ashley’s friends at the party. “It got to my daughter. My daughter didn’t want to do it. It was peer pressure. They put a mask up to her face. They said it would be OK. ‘It’s not gonna hurt you. It’ll just make you laugh and talk funny.’”

Instead, she passed out and later died at a hospital, the result of an obstruction in a blood vessel caused by inhaling helium from a pressurized tank.

It’s a common party trick — someone sucks in helium to give their voice a cartoon character sound.

But the death exposes the rare but real dangers of inhaling helium, especially from a pressurized tank.

Dr. Mark Morocco, associate professor of emergency medicine at the Ronald Reagan McAloon Medical Center in Los Angeles, said what happens is similar to when a scuba diver surfaces too quickly. A gas bubble gets into the bloodstream, perhaps through some kind of tear in a blood vessel, and can block blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke.

The gas is also commonly seen in suicide kits — mailorder hoods sold out of Oregon and elsewhere that can be attached to a helium tank by people who want to kill themselves. In those cases, the helium crowds out the oxygen, asphyxiating a person.

Death from inhaling helium is so rare that the American Association Poison Control Centers lumps it in with other gases, such as methane and propane.

Only three deaths were recorded in 2010, said spokeswoman Loreeta Canton.

It’s important to remind kids that ingesting any substance — for the sake of getting high or just changing their voices — can be dangerous, said Frank Pegueros, executive director of DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education.

Pegueros said the first defense is for parents to tell their kids about the dangers of certain substances. He said kids

Drummer must do anger treatment

need to also ask themselves whether going along with the crowd at a party is worth it.

“Peer pressure is a very potent force,” he said. “We’ve all gone through it growing up.”

“It’s getting somebody to pause and think and evaluate the situation and determine, is this something that’s going to have a bad consequence,” he said.

Police have arrested 27-yearold Katherine McAloon, who lived in the condo, on charges of providing alcohol and marijuana to minors. Four men who were at the party have been questioned by police, but have not been charged, said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau. More charges may be filed after police turn over their evidence to the district attorney.

Justin Earp said the kids had four wine coolers each in the car, and four mixed drinks at the condo, before they started passing around the helium.

Police said it was an 8-gallon canister, the kind you can buy at many stores. The kids were taking hits directly from the tank.

When Ashley passed out, someone tried CPR. Then they called 911. Paramedics tried to revive her and took her to the hospital.

“About 11:30 we got a phone call from police saying they were doing CPR on our daughter,” said Justin Earp.

At the hospital, they were told that Ashley had died.

DALLAS — Deen Castronovo, drummer in the rock group Journey, was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and ordered to attend anger management classes as part of a diversion agreement on charges in a domestic violence incident in West Salem.

The Statesman Journal newspaper reported the agreement Wednesday from court documents on last Thursday’s order.

The 47-year-old was arrested Jan. 20 after a dispute with a woman and charged with recklessly endangering another person, interfering with making a police report, criminal mischief and harassment. He pleaded not guilty Jan. 31 in Polk County Circuit Court.

Accused of faking cancer, man jailed EUGENE — A Springfield man accused of faking cancer to collect donations was arrested Tuesday on felony theft charges.

Charles Embleton, 28, had been charged last year with theft by deception. The new charges were added in a grand jury indictment.

The Register-Guard newspaper reports Springfield police began investigating Embleton in May when a pizza company reportedsuspicionsabout$1,700 in proceeds from a fundraising night at a restaurant.

Police got a court order for his medical records, which failed to confirm a cancer diagnosis.

Malfunction leads to emergency landing KLAMATH FALLS — An Allegiant flight from Phoenix to Bellingham safely made an emergency landing Tuesday night at Klamath Falls with a generator malfunction.

The 154 passengers waited at Klamath Falls Airport for a relief flight.

Allegiant spokeswoman Jessica Wheeler told the Herald and News newspaper the pilot of the MD-80 felt diverting the flight was the safest thing to do.

Arrest in case of malnourished horses SALEM — A 29-year-old Salem man has been arrested in the case of eight malnourished horses removed last week from a muddy field where several other horses were found dead.

Marion County sheriff’s spokesman Don Thomson said Jared Allen Harrison was arrested Tuesday on three counts of first-degree animal neglect and eight counts of second-degree animal neglect.

Bail was set at $35,000.

Thomson says Harrison was the caretaker for the horses removed from the property.

The spokesman says Harrison acknowledged that the horses were kept under inadequate conditions. He reportedly said the horses’ owner did not give him sufficient money for care and feeding. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer.

Dr. Barbara Kahl of United SPCA says the horses in her custody are responding to treatment for lice, parasites, rain rot, mud fever and general starvation.

Teen arrested after flight ruckus sang of bin Laden

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Authorities say a teenager on a flight from Portland to Houston swung his fist at a flight attendant and was “speaking or singing about Osama bin Laden and his hatred of women” as the flight turned around.

He was identified as 19year-old Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan.

Ashland police they believe he is the Saudi Arabian teenager who led police on a slowspeed chase in the Southern Oregon town on Sunday, ramming two police cars and nearly hitting a pedestrian.

He was accused of drunken driving and assaulting an officer. He was released on bail Monday.

On Tuesday night, the Continental flight he was on returned to Portland.

He was indicted Wednesday on a charge of interfering with flight crew members.

Facebook bill a save for state, Crook County

T

he state of Oregon looked like it was on its way to triumph on an economic development version of “The Biggest Loser.� But state Rep. Mike McLane, R-Pow-

ell Butte, has helped save the state from making a multi-million dollar mistake.

His bill gives Facebook the tax certainty it needs for its Prineville data center and to expand. On the same day the Senate passed its version of McLane’s bill, Apple bought 160 acres in Crook County for $5.6 million. Apple may be planning a data center, too.

Prineville and Central Oregon almost missed out on those millions in investment. It almost missed out on the jobs — already at more than 50 and counting.

Facebook had made a deal with Crook County and with the state development agency, Business Oregon: Facebook brings investment and jobs, Facebook gets an agreement not to pay property taxes to the county for 15 years.

The Oregon Department of Revenue prepared to “unhandshake� the deal. That’s not a word in our dictionary. It’s not supposed to happen.

The department told Facebook it could be centrally assessed — taxes could be applied to its intangible assets. It was a surprise

for Facebook, Prineville and other state officials. The bill could have been $1.5 million for 2011-12.

That could have wiped out any savings Facebook expected from the property tax deal. More importantly, it added monstrous uncertainty to what taxes Facebook might have to pay on intangible assets, such as the value of its worldwide brand. It surely had Apple executives thinking twice about Prineville.

Gov. John Kitzhaber proposed a quick rule tweak that would immunize Facebook from the central assessment until the Legislature could look at state statutes next year. It was nice gesture. But it was about as different from a good solution as an electric chair is different from a chair. McLane’s proposal lets Prineville and the state’s original promise to Facebook stand. It’s enshrines it in statute.

The Senate passed such a bill.

The House passed it Wednesday.

When Oregon acts decisively to give companies certainty, it means jobs and millions.

Health volunteers should be protected

A

bill working its way through the Oregon Legislature is likely to help homeless veterans get more health care.

Sponsored by Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, it would provide protection from most lawsuits for doctors, nurses and other health professionals who donate their time.

Approved by the House on Tuesday, it now goes to the Senate. We urge quick passage and the governor’s signature to make it law.

Central Oregon Veterans Outreach has eight physicians and 22 nurses in its program to provide needed care for the homeless. In the past year, the organization has been visiting homeless camps and now has a caseload of 350 patients.

COVO Executive Director Chuck Hemingway thinks the new legislation would help him recruit more medical professionals and thus avoid burnout among those already helping.

Except in cases of gross negligence, House Bill 4027 would protect those volunteers from lawsuits if they were donating time to charitable organizations or nonprofits.

The bill specifically includes dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists and optometrists, in addition to physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists. To be eligible for protection, the person must register annually with the relevant regulatory board — for example, a pharmacist must be registered with the State Board of Pharmacy. The person must also pledge to limit donated services to those covered by his or her license.

Whisnant said there are many retired medical professionals living in Central Oregon, and passage of the bill could help “our most needy people.�

According to Hemingway, some of the current volunteers pay for extra insurance for themselves, and the need to do that has made it more difficult to recruit additional help.

Whisnant’s bill would remove a significant barrier to health care for some who need it. It would also encourage the civic virtue of citizen helping citizen. That’s a benefit that goes far beyond the specific care provided, weaving a stronger community fabric that helps us all.

My Nickel’s Worth Conjured controversy

Park needs a crosswalk

‘Blunder’ inaccurate

I would like to reply to Don Hartsough’s Jan. 30 letter titled “Separation is the only issue.�

No one religion was represented at the City Plaza in Prineville over the Christmas holidays. Exclusivity was never stated nor practiced.

An open invitation was there for all wishing to erect a tasteful, respectful “Winter Holiday Display� at the plaza — all were welcome.

Neither the mayor, City Council, nor city attorney were involved in the process that led to the plaza decorations.

There were, by the way, other secular displays present. Next year, we hope to have even more.

There was a nondiscriminatory approach exercised that satisfied the concerns of the ACLU, and local representatives worked with the Freedom from Religion Foundation regarding their position on the issue.

The only real controversy came from people who either did not really know what was going on or folks who couldn’t get their facts straight.

Both The Bulletin and the Central Oregonian did a remarkable job of keeping the public informed about the details of this “controversy� in a unbiased, balanced manner.

Once again, there were no government entities involved. The entire project was funded and worked on by private citizens, and the only real issues were the ones conjured up by uninformed people.

Homestead Park is a great contribution to Redmond. When the weather is good, the kids really turn out there and have a great time. I am told that the park was entirely put together by volunteers. How cool is that?

However, I have one very serious concern about Homestead Park. The park is bordered by North Canal Boulevard and a nearby neighborhood — and from there it is not readily visible from the road.

I drove by there a while back and was totally taken by surprise when a bunch of little, pumped-up, happy boys came blasting out of the park without stopping to look for traffic as they crossed the street. I am so grateful for my good reflexes and good brakes! Otherwise, I am certain you would be reading about those little guys in a very different and sad section of this paper.

I am hoping that parents in that neighborhood will see this and consider it a real heads-up.

My purpose for writing is the hope of getting a crosswalk or sign installed there to help protect the kids going to and from the park — and to warn drivers.

I have contacted the various Redmond city offices, as well as the Redmond Police Department for help on this issue. Rob Peters, of the city management office, has since returned my call and said that his office is checking on plans to put in a crosswalk.

I realize that newspaper headlines are designed to attract attention and encourage the readers to look deeper into the story. However, all phases of journalism should be accurate and impartial.

The reported story of the U.S. Forest Service decision to rename the Ellis/Wanoga Sno-park is an example of a failure on the part of the paper and appears to suggest a hidden bias against the USFS and/or federal government.

The headline, “USFS revisits naming policy after blunder,� is an attempt to make the agency/government look as if they created a major mistake. No one quoted or referenced in the article — USFS employee, ODOT spokesman or Ellis family member — mentions that a blunder was made. On the contrary, the USFS was quick and decisive to act when all the facts of the issue were brought to their attention.

Had the USFS taken 50 to 100 years to recognize the full potential of the issue — as the Juniper Ridge project you so strongly support — then you could consider it a blunder.

Taking cheap shots at the government and its employees is easy.

However, I propose we look at the positive. The Deschutes National Forest brings tremendous economic value to our community, county and state. The punishment should fit the crime and a headline should fit the associated story.

Supporting elder mental health care is an investment

By Tim Malone roviding mental health services for older adults is a major health care challenge. Aging boomers — soon to be older adults — will require a wise maturity of mental health care if the entire health care system is to be viable and effective for our community. Mostly left out of discussions on health care change and improvement, inadequate mental health services to older adults is very costly to the physical health care system.

The complexity of mental health issues in older adults and its relationship to, and impact on, their physical health is largely unrecognized. Yet research and treatment outcomes consistently show a keen mentalphysical intimacy requiring full engagement by health care planners, funding sources and care providers.

To maintain the physical-mental health care separation is dangerous for any age group. For older adults, it

P

is exceptionally costly in dollars and lives.

Undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses in older adults increase costs dramatically. Symptoms often mask or are mistaken for physical symptoms, inhibiting the diagnostic process and causing expensive and unnecessary treatments. For example, symptoms of depression can easily be mistaken for symptoms of early dementia. The depression, undiagnosed and untreated, worsens all manner of real physical illnesses, greatly increasing the cost of care.

Treatment for depression is relatively inexpensive and usually successful.

The dollar savings in just this one diagnostic and treatment area is huge and difficult to calculate.

Health care planners and politicians consistently fail to recognize that failure to provide effective mental health care to older adults greatly increases overall costs. No corner of health care is left untouched by this

IN MY VIEW failure. The lack of services is in part caused by our inability to calculate the dollar savings from targeted diagnosis and treatment. For insurance providers, if you can’t prove the benefit via the dollars saved, then benefits don’t exist.

In Central Oregon, the availability of mental health services to older adults is sparse, limited to population centers in Deschutes County. Elsewhere in the region, and in most of Oregon, services are unavailable. The few providing care are overwhelmed by unmet needs and are undercompensated by public and private insurance companies. Fixed incomes and poor insurance coverage leave many older adults without access to mental health care, even when available.

With no money or support for these services, doctors and social workers unconsciously choose to avoid the

complexity and deep pathology inherent with mentally ill older adults.

These choices raise costs in seemingly unrelated areas of physical health care, including the care in all other age groups.

A closely related issue of considerable impact is the competition among advocates for systemic change and dwindling resources.

Older adult advocates do not recognize the long-term need for a healthy and well-educated workforce, which provides the taxes all social services need. Older adults consistently vote down taxes aimed at education and workforce development; this is very short-sighted. Child advocates argue that increasing services to older adults starves children’s services, failing to see that ineffective and insufficient services for older adults cost the entire system of care, reducing resources for all. Advocates for both groups argue loudly and sincerely with their facts and dire pre-

dictions without considering longterm impact. Our fighting prevents planning. We’ve forgotten that all of us, all ages, live together and need each other.

Planning and implementing positive change is a significant challenge to our creativity, our morality and the cohesiveness of our community.

The creation of Coordinated Care Organizations by the Kitzhaber administration is a big step in the right direction. The local effort, the Central Oregon Health Council, needs support and wise ideas from all of us: citizens, families of older adults with mental illness or dementia, doctors and caregivers. Educate yourself and get involved. We have an opportunity via the COHC to create a system of care that is high-quality, cost-effective and compassionate.

Let’s give our elders, and everyone else, no less than they deserve. — Tim Malone lives in Bend.

A third-grader from Armin Jahr Elementary School in Bremerton, Wash., is loaded into an ambulance after being shot by a fellow student on Wednesday at the school. She was transferred to the ambulance from a helicopter at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being shot in the stomach.

3rd-grader shot in Washington

By Stacia Glenn The Tacoma News Tribune

A third-grade girl was injured this afternoon after being shot in the stomach at Armin Jahr Elementary School in Bremerton, police said.

The shooting occurred about 1:30 p.m. in a classroom as students were leaving for the day. Witnesses reported hearing a loud boom and then somebody came on the school’s loudspeaker system and yelled for a lockdown.

The lockdown was later lifted and parents were able to pick up their chil-

Curry Continued from C1 Waddle told lawmakers to picture a scenario where a department head comes into the office and sits at a desk for eight hours, trying to figure out how to get something done with no staff.

The person would be there to “turn the lights on,�

Waddle said. “They would leave the heat off; we can’t pay for that,� he continued.

It’s not the first time Curry County Commissioners have painted a bleak picture of their future for lawmakers. The southwestern county has been reliant on federal timber payments.

Timber payments were created to help counties with large amounts of federal forestland within their borders. The federal government doesn’t pay taxes on its land, so the subsidies

dren on foot about 2 p.m.

Police say they found a gun in the classroom and have detained a 9-year-old boy.

The victim, an 8-year-old girl, is reported to be in critical condition but alert and conscious. She was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where she is undergoing surgery.

Shooter a transfer student The victim’s grandmother, Cindy Kocer, told KOMO-TV the girl is quiet and smart and asked people to pray for her.

It’s unknown whether the incident was accidental or intentional.

The student who fired the shot was transferred to the school recently, said the husband of the teacher who was in the classroom when the shooting happened.

Bill Poss said his wife, Natalie, told him the child is a “troubled kid� who changed the dynamics of the otherwise peaceful classroom.

The shooting is the first at a Washington school since February 2010, when 30-yearold Jed Waits, of Ellensburg, fatally shot Jennifer Paulson, a special-education teacher at Birney Elementary School in Tacoma. Waits later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Scott, who he said has been doing an “excellent� job running school operations since Bremont’s arrest.

Bullock acknowledged that between the allegations against Bremont and the deaths of one current and one former RPA student in a car crash just over two weeks ago, it’s a difficult period for the school, and a difficult time for him to take over as interim director. “I just believe so strongly in

what public education can do for kids and in this community,� Bullock said. “I want to ensure that the hard work of so many people continues on.�

Bremont, who faces 11 charges including second-degree sex abuse and third-degree attempted rape, is due to be arraigned in Deschutes County Circuit Court on March 16.

help counties pay for road improvements, schools and emergency services. The act that authorized the payments expired on Sept. 30.

The state is working on legislation that could temporarily help cash-strapped counties.

The federal government is also discussing proposals that could extend the payments.

But Curry County commissioners warned lawmakers that at this point, it’s likely any relief will be too late.

One of the state’s measures would let so-called timber counties dip into road funds to help pay for highway patrols.

Currently, state law requires such funds be used only for road infrastructure.

Waddle said the county is only willing to take from the approximate $33 million road fund if it’s a loan.

Waddle told lawmakers the county is considering a countywide sales tax, but it would need to be approved

by voters. “Are you optimistic about your ballot initiative?� asked Rep. Joanne Verger, D-Coos Bay. Curry County has one of the lowest property tax rates in the state. Citizens have voted more than once not to raise taxes on themselves. Waddle said there’s no chance an increase in property tax would fly, but he said there is hope for a countywide sales tax.

After church one day, Waddle told Verger, a widower approached him at coffee hour. “She said ... ‘I’m on a fixed income, I can’t afford a property tax, but a sales tax would be fair; it would be spread across everyone,’� Waddle said.

The real solution however, Co-Speaker of the House Bruce Hanna, R-Roseburg said, is federal legislation that would allow an increase in logging on federal forests.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of a Mitchell man who disappeared 20 years ago, Grant County District Attorney Ryan Joslin announced Wednesday.

Danny Kaye Sweet was 36 when he disappeared in late October 1992 from the Mitchell area where he was living

with friends. In early 1996, Sweet’s remains were found on range land near Mount Vernon in Grant County.

Wednesday, Joslin announced that Thomas Allen Colbert, 51, of Las Vegas, and George Shadrick Bogan, 46, of Roseberg, had been indicted by a grand jury on suspicion of murder and aggravated murder.

Investigators believe that in the period before his disappearance, Sweet had accumulated drug-related debts owed to Bogan, then a Prineville resident. Sweet’s remains were found on a section of Bureau of Land Management land surrounded by private ranch land that at the time had been owned by Colbert’s relatives. — Bulletin staff reports

TACOMA, Wash. — Washington state cannot force pharmacies to sell Plan B or other emergency contraceptives, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, saying the state’s true goal was to suppress religious objections by druggists — not to promote timely access to the medicines for people who need them.

U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton sided with a pharmacy and two pharmacists who said state rules requiring them to dispense Plan B violate their constitutional rights to freedom of religion because such drugs can destroy a fertilized egg, which they consider equal to abortion.

Washington’s rules require that pharmacies stock and dispense drugs for which there is a demand. The state adopted the dispensing regulations in 2007, following reports that some women had been denied access to Plan B, which has a high dose of medicine found in birthcontrol pills and is effective if a woman takes it within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

State lawyers argued that the requirements are legal because they apply neutrally to all medicines and pharmacies, and because they promote a government interest — the timely delivery of medicine, including Plan B, which becomes less effective as time passes.

Other exceptions But Leighton ruled that the state allows all sorts of business exemptions to the rules. Pharmacies can decline to stock a drug, such as certain painkillers, if it’s likely to increase the risk of theft, or if it requires an inordinate amount of paperwork, or if the drug is temporarily unavailable from suppliers, among other reasons. “The most compelling evidence that the rules target religious conduct is the fact the rules contain numerous secular exemptions,� the judge said. “In sum, the rules exempt pharmacies and pharmacists from stocking and delivering lawfully prescribed drugs for an almost unlimited variety of secular reasons, but fail to provide exemptions for reasons of conscience.�

The decision comes as contraception has been debated in political and health care circles around the nation. A controversy erupted this month when religious groups protested a new federal rule that required church-affiliated universities, hospitals and nonprofits to include birth control without co-pays or premiums in their insurance plans.

The outcry prompted President Barack Obama to change the rule to shift the burden from religious organizations to insurance companies. Lawmakers in a few conservative states have taken up the fight with proposals that serve as direct challenges to Obama’s ruling.

Leighton, in his decision Wednesday, did not strike down Washington’s rules, but said simply that the way they were applied to the plaintiffs in this case was unconstitutional.

The state remains free to try to enforce the law against other pharmacies that violated the stocking and dispensing rules, whether for Plan B or other drugs; it remains unclear whether courts would reach a similar conclusion if pharmacies objected to selling other drugs for religious reasons.

PREP WRESTLING

Cowboys have strength in numbers • Crook County has its eye on a team title with 22 wrestlers headed to state

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

The numbers do not lie.

With 22 wrestlers headed to this weekend’s Class 4A state championship, Crook County is in position to bring home its first team state title since 1975. The Cowboys, who won last week’s 4A Special District 2 meet in Prineville in a rout, advanced at least one wrestler in all 14 weight classes to Friday and Saturday’s state

tournament in Portland. Among the leading Crook County qualifiers, Collbran Meeker is the No. 1 seed at 126 pounds, senior Bryson Martin is the No. 2 seed at 170 pounds, and freshman Brendan Harkey is seeded fourth at 138 pounds.

“It’s a great start,” Cowboy assistant coach Rob Bonner says about Crook County’s 22 state-bound wrestlers, a school record. “But now we have to go up there and take care

of business.”

The Cowboys’ state-qualifying numbers constitute an all-out blitz of the state tournament, especially compared with 4A’s other top programs. Reigning 4A state champion Henley has advanced just 12 wrestlers to state this year, while Cascade and Sweet Home have moved 15 and 13 competitors, respectively, past regionals.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL COMMENTARY

California is in a default state in basketball

GOLF

A competitor makes a cast at the 2011 National Fly Fishing Championships held last May in Cherokee, N.C. The 2012 nationals will be staged in Central Oregon this fall.

National attention Woods survives, Donald does not MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods had to play a left-handed shot out of the desert. Retief Goosen holed out from 156 yards and didn’t even win the hole. Dustin Johnson twice won a hole after taking a penalty drop.

But the strangest sight of all Wednesday at the Match Play Championship didn’t come from the golf course.

It was Luke Donald on his way to the airport.

“Golf is like that sometimes,” Donald said after his 5-and-4 loss to Ernie Els, becoming only the third No. 1 seed to lose in the opening round. “It’s a fickle game, and sometimes it bites you.”

It almost took a bite out of Woods, who had to rally to beat Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano; and U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, the No. 2 seed who was 3 up with three holes to play and was sweating on the 18th until George Coetzee missed a short putt for par.

Els, who only got into the 64-man field when Phil Mickelson took his family on a ski vacation, delivered the biggest shocker in the first round by taking the lead for good on the eighth hole and taking out the world’s No. 1 player.

— The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — eople have speculated for years that California might someday drop off the map, and the slide may have already started with college basketball.

San Diego State, holding on by a fingernail at No. 24, is the only California team represented in this week’s Associated Press top-25 poll.

And you thought Texas was the lone star state?

St. Mary’s and San Diego State occupy two of the final three spots in the coaches’ top-25 poll despite collectively losing six of their last seven games through Tuesday, the Gaels prevailing over lowly Santa Clara.

St. Mary’s, wobbly and wounded, got gashed by Murray State but caught a break to remain atop the West Coast Conference standings when San Francisco upset Gonzaga.

San Diego State, 20-6 going into Wednesday night’s game against Wyoming, still appears a solid NCAA entry. The Aztecs’ three straight losses were by a total of 14 points — to Nevada Las Vegas (currently No. 21), New Mexico (No. 18) and Air Force.

Long Beach State deserves love for playing its heart out in a two-point loss at Creighton, but the 49ers now face the prospect of having to win the Big West Conference tournament to make the NCAA tournament.

UCLA traveled across the country to lose at St. John’s last weekend as part of the Bruins’ “post-Pauley reconstruction” phase. But at least UCLA isn’t USC, which is 1-13 in Pac-12 Conference play.

Elsewhere in the Pac-12, California (the school in Berkeley) is not quite ranked but is tied for first in the standings, which tells you everything you need to know about the conference.

Southern California bright spots: Cal State Fullerton (187, 9-3) is tied for second in the Big West and its 42.9 percent three-point field-goal percentage ranks No. 2 nationally.

And don’t forget Loyola Marymount, coming off big wins over St. Mary’s and Valparaiso. Coach Max Good’s team is 18-10 overall, 10-4 in league, and will be a miserable draw in next week’s West Coast Conference tournament.

After two years of injuries and lineup shuffling, the Lions finally seem solidified.

Friday’s win over Valparaiso marked only the 10th time this season Good was able to send out his first team.

• The 2012 U.S. Fly Fishing Championships are set for Central Oregon this coming fall

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

Fly-fishing is a popular recreational sport among millions of outdoor enthusiasts. But as a competitive sport, it occupies only a tiny niche.

So the significance of Central Oregon being selected to host the 2012 Fly Fishing National Championships is not so much about the potential economic impact of the event as it is about the exposure for the region.

“We’re excited about the chance to highlight how great our fishing is,” says Kevney Dugan, director of sports development for Visit Bend.

The event, scheduled for Oct. 18-20, is expected to draw 70 to 80 anglers to the area, as well as family members, spectators and event organizers.

Participants will fish a of lakes and HUNTING combination rivers on a catch-and-re& FISHING lease basis.

The nationals will include three days of fishing at five different locations yet to be determined. Among the possible water bodies for the competition, according to Dugan, are East Lake, Lava Lake, the Crooked River, the Metolius River, the Deschutes River (upstream of Bend) and Tumalo Creek. Most of the catch figures to be rainbow trout and brown trout.

Scoring will be based on the size and number of fish caught.

Volunteer “controllers” will monitor anglers and count and measure fish landed.

Anglers qualify for the national championships by placing in the top five at one of five regional qualifiers staged throughout the country. The Western regional qualifier is scheduled for March 9-11, in Reno, Nev. At least three anglers from Bend are headed to Reno to attempt to qualify for the nationals: Scott Robertson, his son Russell Robertson and Matt Paluch.

Central Oregon has long been a fly-fishing mecca. But Scott Robertson’s influence as a competitive fly fisherman and former member of Fly Fishing Team USA was what started the process to bring the nationals to Oregon’s High Desert. Robertson approached Dugan with the idea, and Visit Bend — the city’s tourism promotion agency — embraced it.

Central Oregon had already hosted regional qualifiers in each of the previous two years, and it hosted the first-ever Team USA qualifier in 2005.

No. 2 Syracuse holds off South Florida rally, earns win The Associated Press SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The way the Syracuse Orange were missing one shot after another, Scoop Jardine considered them fortunate to be ahead at halftime.

And once South Florida rallied to close within a point, Jardine put his head down to make sure the second-ranked Orange wouldn’t have to mount another comeback.

Jardine scored 15 points to lead Syracuse to a 56-48 win over the Bulls, with his most important basket coming with 4:41 left. With the Orange clinging to a 47-46 lead, Jardine drove to the right post, was fouled on the way up,

scored and then completed the three-point play “That play, I rejected the screen and knew I had (Augustus) Gilchrist on an angle where I could go try to get fouled,” Jardine said. “When I got fouled, I was still in control to make the shot. And the biggest thing I was worried about was making the free throw, and I made it.”

Whew.

The Orange (28-1, 15-1 Big East) overcame an ice-cold start, in which they missed 12 of their first 14 shots, and overcame a 13-point deficit for their eighth straight win. Syracuse matched school records for most regular-season and

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP conference victories — both set in 2009-10.

Kris Joseph scored four of his 12 points over the final 4 minutes, with them coming on putbacks of his own misses. He added nine rebounds. C.J. Fair had 13 points for Syracuse.

“Offensively, it’s been a struggle shooting the basketball, and tonight was one of those nights,” coach Jim Boeheim said. “But we’ve been in games like this all year. Our veteran guys have made plays all year down the stretch.

That’s how you win these games.”

NBA ROUNDUP

Lakers pull away to beat Mavs The Associated Press DALLAS — Andrew Bynum had a huge smile on his face after he grabbed a rebound of his own miss and got fouled on an attempted putback.

Not long after making both those free throws that put the Los Angeles Lakers ahead to stay, Bynum was running after teammate Derek Fisher to give him a big hug following a three-pointer.

Bynum had 19 points and 14 rebounds, including several big plays in the final 5½ minutes, as the Lakers hit the halfway point of their season with a 96-91 victory over the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

“Andrew was great,” coach Mike Brown said.

The free throws by Bynum broke an 82-all tie with 5:29 left and put the Lakers (20-13) ahead to stay after 13 ties and 10 lead changes.

After the Mavericks failed to take advantage of a turnover by Kobe Bryant when Jason Terry gave it right back, Bynum was underneath the basket with the ball. But he instead passed it to Fisher in the left corner for a three-pointer.

Portland pursuing Przybilla PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers are pursuing free agent Joel Przybilla, but a deal with the 7-foot1 center would be contingent on a physical exam.

The Blazers would also have to cut a player to make room on the roster for Przybilla, who spent more than six seasons in Portland before he was traded to Charlotte last season.

Yahoo! Sports and SI.com both reported that Przybilla has agreed to a veteran’s minimum deal with the Blazers. A person close to the team told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a physical exam was tentatively set for this weekend. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a deal is not final.

“It appears imminent,” said Przybilla’s agent, Bill Duffy.

The 32-year-old Przybilla has not played this season. He has also been pursued

by Chicago, Miami and Milwaukee.

Over an 11-year NBA career, Przybilla has averaged 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and four points per game.

He ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee in December 2009 and had two surgeries. Pain in the knee hampered him last season and he played just five games with the Bobcats.

Continued from D1 “It’s huge,” Bonner says about bringing such a large contingent of wrestlers to state. “All these kids have a chance at winning a match and score points. … Even if a kid just doesn’t get pinned, that saves points.”

While the Cowboys are looking for their first state title in 37 years, Culver is hoping to make it six championships in six seasons.

The Bulldogs, who have four wrestlers seeded No. 1 in their brackets, are expected to again finish atop the Class 2A/1A team standings.

“I think of the 12 kids we have going, about eight have a legitimate shot at state,” Culver coach J.D. Alley says.

“I guess if you believe in all the rankings, it’s our tournament to lose. But you still have to go wrestle. The one thing about 2A is it’s such a small tournament (with eight-man brackets). There’s no room for error.”

Redmond High also looks to trophy this season, its last at the Class 6A level before moving down to 5A when Ridgeview High, Redmond’s second public high school, opens this coming fall. Senior Ryan Haney, the No. 2 seed at 126 pounds, and sophomore Boomer Fleming,

D3

seeded second at 160, both have individual title aspirations for the Panthers.

Mountain View and Bend High lead Central Oregon’s Class 5A programs at state.

The Cougars are sending eight wrestlers to the 2012 state championships and the Lava Bears have advanced seven. While no local wrestlers are seeded in the 5A tournament, Bend’s Gavin Gerdes placed third at 171 pounds last year, and his teammate Kenny Dailey finished fourth at 189.

Individually, Madras senior Travis Williams (220 pounds) and junior Miguel Vasquez (132) and La Pine senior Garrett Searcy (182) all look to be in the hunt for state titles. Williams, the 4A state runner-up at 215 pounds a year ago, is the No. 1 seed in his weight class this season. Vasquez placed second at 125 pounds in 2011 and is the No. 2 seed at 132 this weekend.

Wrestling starts Friday at 8:30 a.m., and the quarterfinal rounds for 6A, 5A and 4A are expected to get under way at about 4 p.m. Semifinals action is slated to begin Saturday at 9:45 a.m. and the championship finals are scheduled to start that night at 6:30.

Bend hunter education classes begin Monday GARY LEWIS

O

ne of my earliest memories is the day my dad picked up the old .22 rifle and we headed out of the house and up the hill to hunt grouse. I was 3 years old.

When I was 6, dad let me tag along on a deer hunt. We woke before daylight and I can still see everybody standing in the kitchen, dressed in checkered flannel, finishing up breakfast, ready to put the rifles in the trucks and head up the mountain.

If you’ve ever wondered about the right time to introduce a young person to hunting, you’re not alone. Many parents have asked the same question.

We started our girls at the age of 2 with a recurve bow and arrows, the same one I started with a long time ago.

We set up hay bales in the backyard and posted animal targets. As the girls got older we staged mock hunts, stalking the paper bobcat or raccoon. Our youngest, Mikayla, could shoot an arrow over the top of the barn before her third birthday.

After the kids graduated from hunter education they went on their first small game hunts and then on to big game at the age of 12.

It’s not hard to create an archery range in the backyard with a safe shooting lane, a couple of paper targets and a backstop. A simple recurve bow with arrows can be purchased for under $40. For kids up to about the age of 11, I like the Crosman Sentinel with a 20-pound draw, the Hunter Dan Recurve, and for the youngest kids, the Bear Archery 1st Shot.

One of the benefits of an early archery education is the development of hand-eye coordination and a sense of self reliance. If a parent has no background in archery, not to worry. The resident pro in any archery shop can teach a kid and parent all they need to know in one or two sessions.

Gary Lewis / For The Bulletin

During a shoot at the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association park last spring, Kris Bales coached granddaughter Mercedes in the art of archery and the arc of the arrow.

In Oregon, there is no minimum age for hunting. If a child can pass hunter education, they can hunt rabbits, squirrels, coyotes and birds. To hunt big game, a hunter must be at least 12 years old, unless they are enrolled in Oregon’s Mentored Youth Hunter Program.

The MYHP allows youth between the ages of 9 and 13 to hunt while closely supervised by a licensed adult. Only one firearm or bow may be carried between the two hunters.

Young hunters in the MYHP can bank preference points that can be applied to biggame tag drawings after they have passed a hunter education class.

Outside of the MYHP, hunter education is mandatory for anyone under the age of 18 that intends to hunt anywhere other than on family land.

The question of when to send a child to hunter education is not as simple. The course load and the tests are not easy. No two kids are the same. A child who is a good reader with an ability to focus can pass the class at the age of 10. Other kids might want to wait until the age of 12.

Hunter education classes are held in spring and summer. In Bend, the classes start on Monday, Feb. 27. Call 541388-6363 or visit the Oregon

Those who do not intend their child to hunt should consider hunter education, because every child will be exposed to guns at some point in their lives. Safety education teaches a respect for firearms and archery equipment that can keep them and others safe.

Other programs, such as those sponsored by 4H and the COSSA Kids program (www.oregonshooting.com) teach proper shooting technique and instill the discipline of practice. Safety education teaches a respect for firearms that may keep them and others around them safe.

There’s no time like the present to get the kids involved. Whether it takes them to a lifetime in the outdoors or merely serves to widen their wealth of experience, target shooting and the hunt help a youngster to focus, pay attention to detail and to better appreciate the natural world and their place in it. — Gary Lewis is the host of “Adventure Journal� and author of “John Nosler — Going Ballistic,� “Hunting Oregon� and other titles.

FLY-TYING CORNER

National Continued from D1 Robertson finished 15th at the inaugural Fly Fishing National Championships in Boulder, Colo., in 2007. He was fifth in the 2008 nationals, also staged in Boulder. The event was held in State College, Pa., in 2009 and 2010, and in Cherokee, N.C., last year.

Robertson has not competed in the nationals since 2009, but he is looking forward to possibly competing on rivers and lakes that he fishes regularly in his own backyard. “It’s my home water,� Robertson says. “There’s a little more pressure that way. You’re expected to do good when it’s on your home water. But I’ll relax and go with the flow.�

Competitors at the national championships have a chance to qualify for the 15-member Fly Fishing Team USA, based on points accumulated from the regional and national events.

The top three anglers from the team earn a spot at the 2013 World Fly Fishing Championships, which are scheduled to be held in Nor-

way. Three other roster spots for worlds will be selected based on points, experience, team fit, performance in larger events and venue-based skills, according to www.ffteamusa.com.

The mission of Fly Fishing Team USA, according to the website, is “to share the world of competition fly-fishing within the United States and to expand the sport and passion for the outdoors.�

While the competition heats up this coming fall on the waters of Central Oregon, other anglers need not worry about access to their favorite fishing holes. “All of the waterways will remain open to the public during competition, and we’re hopeful the dates we’ve selected will minimize impact on other anglers,� says Doug La Placa, president of Visit Bend. “From a tourism standpoint, this is an excellent way for us to share Bend’s amazing fly-fishing opportunities with sportsmen and sportswomen from around the nation.� — Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmorical@bendbulletin.com

FISHING REPORT

Fishing remains good on Metolius Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Para X Black, courtesy Fly & Field Outfitters.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

In the winter on the Middle Deschutes, it’s a big Skwala stonefly.

It could be a carpenter ant in May and, late in a June evening, a salmonfly, dark on the water.

The Para X Black can be used throughout the year whenever fish are oriented to the surface.

Look at its profile against the sky. The legs outline the target with sparkle in the black wing.

The body, tied with peacock, is segmented like the body of an ant. A classic attractor, it lights soft-

ly on the water and floats well thanks to the hollow deer hair.

Tie this pattern with black thread on a No. 10 hook. For the tail, use black deer hair. Build the butt with peacock herl then tie a body of black floss and rib with fine copper wire. For the underwing, use Krystal Flash. For the wing, tie in black deer hair. Use black rubber for the legs. Tie in a wingpost of white calf tail or a synthetic substitute. Build the thorax with peacock herl and finish with a black hackle tied parachute style.

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: CENTRAL ZONE BEND PINE NURSERY POND: The pond is open to fishing yearround but may be iced over in winter.

CRESCENT LAKE: The lake is accessible at the resort only.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Anglers have been catching good numbers of fish, mixed with some nice trout.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Pelton Regulating Dam): Anglers are reminded that the Deschutes River is closed to steelhead fishing from the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation upstream to Pelton Dam. Steelhead angling remains open from the mouth of the Deschutes River upstream

to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. If you’re looking for some solitude, now is a great time to fish for trout and steelhead on the Lower Deschutes. Anglers should try tactics with slow presentations such as nymphs or a jig and bobber. Lots of steelhead remain in the lower river around Maupin.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches

should offer lots of opportunities for good dry fly fishing.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Angling is restricted to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to fishing year-round but may be iced over in winter. Shevlin Pond is open to children 17 years old and younger with a bag limit of two fish.

California Continued from D1 “The Indianapolis Colts had one injury and it affected them pretty good,�

Good said after Tuesday’s practice. “And they lost one guy (quarterback Peyton Manning).�

LMU has no shot at an NCAA at-large berth but could snatch the automatic bid and force the selection committee to consider four WCC entries — St. Mary’s, Gonzaga and Brigham Young being the others.

The Lions have been led recently by senior forward Drew Viney and sophomore guard Anthony Ireland, who was chosen WCC player of the week for averaging 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and six assists in the wins over St. Mary’s and Valparaiso.

Loyola is off to its best start since 1995-96.

As a state, however, California is only feeding the stereotype that it doesn’t take basketball very seriously. “I’m too new to the area to comment on that,� joked Good, who is in his fourth year at LMU after a long career back East.

People ask Good if he’s glad UCLA and USC are down. “I pull for all these teams,� said Good, whose team beat the Bruins, then ranked 17th, in November. “Long Beach, Santa Barbara. The more good teams, the more attention there is.�

California, as a state, leads the nation in NCAA men’s basketball titles with 15 — 11 of those by UCLA — but don’t tell that to North Carolina (11) and Kentucky (nine). This year, so far, belongs to Kentucky, which has three schools ranked in the top 17 of the AP poll.

Good, who coached eight years at Eastern Kentucky, says the state is nuts about hoops. “There are not a lot of other things to do there,� he said. “Basketball is king.�

Could this be the year Kentucky coach John Calipari finally wins his first national title? Instead of whining about baby-sitting one-and-done players on their way to the NBA, Calipari simply accepts the premise and annually restocks his roster with prime-time talent.

Anthony Davis, this year’s freshman find, has the wingspan of the Spruce Goose.

Murray State, 26-1 and ranked No. 14 by AP, is also impressive, given that you’d probably go to Murray, Ky., only if your car ran out of gas.

Sports information director Dave Winder recently told the Louisville Courier-Journal: “Nobody comes here without a reason.�

The Racers have shed their only loss, to Tennessee State, and looked like a second-weekend NCAA team last Saturday with their impressive 65-51 win over St. Mary’s.

Louisville, No. 17 in the AP poll, recently was crowned college basketball’s most devoted viewing market. The city, with its 4.6 share, ranked No. 1 in the Nielsen ratings for ESPN games aired from Nov. 11, 2011, through Feb. 12, 2012.

If California is looking for a state it can handle, skip Kentucky and go straight to Rhode Island.

Three of its schools — Rhode Island (Atlantic 10), Providence (Big East) and Bryant (Northeast) — are last in their conference standings.

OUTING THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012

TRAIL UPDATE Trees may fall along with snow A change in the weather is coming this weekend, from unseasonably mild temperatures to something more like “an arctic cold front,” said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist.

Recreationists hitting the trails will want to be sure they go out prepared for the “wintery mix” of rain, snow and wind expected this weekend, said Sabo.

Newberry Crater may receive some snow over the weekend, he said, but is still “pretty snowchallenged.”

The recent wind is likely to have downed trees across the forest, said Sabo. Affected summer trails may not be cleared of fallen trees until spring. Winter trails that are groomed regularly may have fallen trees removed sooner. Sabo cautioned trail users to be aware of their surroundings while out in the forests and know that there is still a possibility of trees falling.

It is important for people parking at snoparks to “read and heed the no parking signs,” which may be tempting to ignore, said Sabo. “The emergency lanes need to be clear at all times,” he said, “especially if it is a busy weekend” when the sheer number of people out and about increases the risk of someone getting injured. He suggested having a second sno-park in mind or carpooling if there is a big group.

Sharp collectors • Glass Buttes offers rockhounds an opportunity to collect obsidian

By David Jasper The Bulletin

A

bout 10 years ago, a friend and colleague who used to work at The Bulletin told me this hilarious, true story.

She and her husband had visited Newberry National Volcanic Monument, home to Paulina Peak, East and Paulina lakes, and impressive flows of obsidian, the beautiful black glass formed by rapidly cooling lava.

Obsidian can be sharpened into arrowheads and blades smoother than metal, and was prized among ancient Native Americans, who traded it far and wide.

The ancients did not, I believe, load obsidian into cars by the trunkful, but Co-worker and her husband did. Their plan — and bear in mind they weren’t intentionally breaking any laws, but try telling that to a jury and see how far you get — was to take it home and decorate their garden with it.

By happenstance, just before they left, a U.S. Forest Service employee walked by and asked how they were enjoying their visit.

“Great!” Coworker replied, then told of how they’d just loaded up on obsidian and looked forward to seeing it in their yard.

After the rightfully flabbergasted Forest Service employee explained it’s illegal to take rocks from a national monument, the obsidian was safely released back into the wild.

They could have skipped the trouble, and the part where I laughed at her a bit more than she’d anticipated, if they’d just gone to Glass Buttes.

SPOTLIGHT Eagle Watch this weekend The annual Eagle Watch event is set to talk place Saturday and Sunday at Round Butte Overlook Park and Cove Palisades State Park near Culver.

The event is free to attend, although a dayuse parking pass is required at the state park.

Eagle Watch, hosted by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, celebrates the eagles and other raptors that make Lake Billy Chinook a popular wildlife viewing area, according to the parks and recreation department. Bald and golden eagles — 10 pairs of each — live in the area, according to the department, although golden eagles will be the focus this year.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday at Round Butte Overlook Park, which overlooks Lake Billy Chinook. A yurt village will feature displays and exhibits and regional bird experts will give presentations. Organized eagle viewing sessions will take place each day at both locations.

Contact: 800-5516949 or www.oregon stateparks.org.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

Couple can’t come to terms over bathroom battleground Dear Abby: My otherwise loving, honest, generous, kind and attentive husband of 10 years feels it’s his right to walk into the bathroom whenever he wants, even when I’m in there. He says it’s coincidence, but I think he does it intentionally. We don’t have locks — or even doors — to shut our master bathroom. We do have other bathrooms in the house.

I have asked him repeatedly not to come in or to make some noise so I know he’s coming.

He says he “forgets.� If I’m in the shower or bent over with my head upside down blowdrying my hair and turn around or look up and see another person, I get startled. My adrenaline pumps and I end up yelling at him.

I’d prefer to get clean and pretty in peace. My husband thinks I’m overreacting. Am I? — Bothered in the Bathroom Dear Bothered: Feeling as strongly as you do, it’s surprising that you would move into a house in which the master bedroom and bath are set up this way. And yes, I do think you’re overreacting.

However, you have a couple of options: The first would be for you to get clean and pretty in one of the other bathrooms.

The second would be to start a remodeling project and have a door (or doors) to your master bath installed so your husband can knock before entering.

Dear Abby: I am married to a wonderful and unique man.

Despite his privileged upbringing he is very down-to-earth.

His parents’ affluence afforded him many opportunities and still does. Unfortunately, my in-laws are snobbish, selfabsorbed and competitive.

They are critical of everyone — especially their grown son.

They put him and each other down constantly. They cause scenes and can’t enjoy life.

My husband is trying to be

patient because he knows his parents aren’t going to change at their age. But they consume so much of our energy with their constant dramatic highs and lows. Any advice for dealing with drama queens (and kings)? They do love us and can be considerate. — Living in the Real World in New Jersey Dear Real: It may help you and your husband to understand that people who act the way your in-laws do are usually insecure on some basic level. They put others down to inflate their egos and reassure themselves that they’re “OK� by magnifying (or inventing) flaws in others. When your inlaws start to criticize, be pleasant and make a point of saying something positive about their target. It will short-circuit the rant.

Dear Abby: I’m a 40-yearold working mother raising a daughter who is the joy of my life. Once in a great while I’ll accept an invitation to go on a date and hire a baby sitter to watch my daughter.

My question is, who should pay for the sitter? The man who asked me out or should I? I have yet to have a suitor offer to pay. Is that just the way it is, or are these men just cheap? — Mom On a Budget Dear Mom: Paying for your daughter’s sitter is YOUR responsibility. When you become involved in a steady relationship and the cost of a sitter becomes a financial burden, discuss it then with your boyfriend, who should be willing to share some of the cost. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy birthday for Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you forge a new path, but only after you are sure that the status quo does not work. Tension and sarcasm often mark your endeavors. Are they a reason to move in another direction? Only you will be able to decide this, and you will. Deal with funds carefully.

Your communication excels. If you are single, you will see the results of being able to present yourself well. Look for romance after June.

If you are attached, the two of you work through some hot-button issues. Passion plays a significant role in your bond. ARIES always encourages you.

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) HHH Much might be going on at work and also within yourself.

You could become angry, but try not to act on that feeling. Sarcasm could be a whole other issue. You probably just need time to yourself.

A walk might work. Close your door, if possible. Tonight: Perking up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You benefit in the daylight hours. Whatever you decide to do works out even better than you thought possible. Meetings work well. Ideas flourish when talking with a group of people. Surprises surround you. Tonight: Make it early.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Conflict is possible with a boss. Honor your differences and remember who is in charge. Your words could come off as harshsounding when dealing with this person. Postpone an important conversation until dinnertime.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If you are not sure as to which way to go, reach out to a trusted friend. Together, if you are open, you can figure out the proper path.

When you detach, you gain a better perspective about conversations and interactions. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Sarcasm marks the morning.

Be smart, and avoid playing into this behavior. You know what you want and where you are going. Do not get caught up in trivial matters. Let your mind expand in order to grasp the details of a new situation. Tonight: Get away from the here and now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others continue to knock on your door, and will call and email

TODAY DEAR ABBY

you. You might be surprised at all the inquiries. Do not get shorttempered simply because you have too much on your plate. Instead, tell them what ails you. Close relating earmarks the afternoon. Tonight: Make nice with a favorite person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Focus on work and your accomplishments. You have so much to do and so little time. Your effectiveness emerges. Schedule distractions and meetings for as late as you can. An associate or co-worker could be a source of frustration. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Remove yourself from situations where you might not be energized or interested. Others will be able to see your lack of involvement. Focus on what is challenging. If you opt for a bohemian route, you will succeed.

Sometimes a staid attitude does not work. Tonight: Try to make it early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You move slowly when dealing with a boss or older relative.

You wonder why you have done what you have as of late, especially with another person’s attitude. Stay centered, and remember that you also gain in this situation. Tonight: Paint the town red.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Make phone calls and schedule meetings. Above all else, do not stand on ceremony — especially with a key person. Rather than encouraging separation, you will melt down emotional walls. News involving travel and/or new information forces thought and possible action. Tonight: Mosey on home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Refuse to get involved with others financially, or to accept another person’s idea regarding your funds. You might not be right, but he or she might not be right either. Time is your ally, though you might feel pressured by a situation. Schedule a discussion with a respected adviser for later in the day. Tonight: Listen to the pros and cons.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Someone might be trying to push your buttons. Stay centered and nonreactive, and this person will stop. Now is not the time to clear the air. Get done what you must, then decide when you would like to clear the air. Tonight: Get another opinion and maybe one more. Then decide.

He wasn’t kidding. There was a pretty nice load of obsidian right where we’d parked, and I joked that we could pretty much just pick from others’ castoffs. But, of course, we did not bring hammers, protective eyewear and a picnic lunch 80 miles to do that.

My wife donned a shoulder bag and we marched uphill, taking in the High Desert views as we quickly filled the bag with rocks, which, though not yet cracked open, we could discern were obsidian by their dark color and shiny streaks.

After about 30 minutes, the girls and I headed back downhill, despite my wife’s protests that we should hike higher (there’s one in every crowd).

At this point, we covered our rocks with an old towel and began cracking them open to see what treasures they yielded. We mostly found

Continued from E1 Located on Bureau of Land Management land in Lake County about 80 miles southeast of Bend, it’s still OK to take obsidian at Glass Buttes.

It’s so abundant here you pretty much can’t throw a rock without it hitting, or being, obsidian.

Here, writes “Oregon’s Dry Side” author Alan D. St. John, “countless generations of Paiute Indians gathered volcanic obsidian glass for arrowheads and other implements.”

“Glass Buttes” seems like it should be plain old Glass Butte, as many refer to it. According to “Oregon Geographic Names” by Lewis A. and Lewis L. McArthur, the landmark is made up of a couple of domes (elevation 6,390 feet) and smaller hills.

These days, “the Glass Buttes obsidian area is the most popular and most accessible for visitors,” according to www.blm. gov. “The area is very rugged, remote, and primitive.”

My wife and two of our three daughters traveled to Glass Buttes on Saturday, taking in the gorgeous vistas and cloud formations as we rolled through Millican, Brothers and Hampton on the way. In helpful, fatherly fashion, I counted off the mile markers whenever I happened to notice them (“29!

35! 48! 66!”) as my kids ignored me and played with their Nintendo DSIs in the back.

According to the Prineville District Office of the BLM, which can provide a handy pamphlet and map to those with proper foresight, “The public is allowed to collect a reasonable amount” of obsidian from Glass Buttes, with “reasonable amount” defined as “250 pounds per person per year.”

Even if you don’t plan on removing mass quantities of rock, do take a high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicle if you have access to one. Once you turn south off U.S. Highway 20 at mile marker 77, the unpaved road is briefly a deeply rutted smooth clay, then, over about the next two miles, it gets less rutted but a lot rougher, and dotted with pits and exposed rocks the size of cantaloupes and watermelon, with none of their squishiness. This 2.2-mile stretch was a little unnerving in a minivan, but we took it slow.

Once you reach the first possible left turn, you can take it uphill to different caches of obsidian. But we knew there was no chance of doing that in our van, so we instead parked at a well-used campsite on the right and walked up the hill.

According “Bend, Overall” author Scott Cook, there are

EATING LIKE A CAVEMAN

Paleo diet a lifestyle for Bend couple

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

Meat. Nuts. Fruits. Vegetables.

Those are the general guidelines behind the Paleo diet, one of today’s hot diet trends.

It’s not just a diet, according to Cain Credicott, a Bend resident who has been eating Paleo-style for more than a year.

“I hate the word diet,” said Credicott. “It’s a lifestyle.”

“It includes getting enough sleep, exercise, sun and vitamin D. It means we care where our food comes from,” said Credicott, who founded the glossy Paleo Magazine last year.

Paleo eating avoids grains, sugar, legumes and dairy products. It’s the original human diet, what our hunterNUTRITION gatherer ancestors ate before modern agriculture, according to an article in Paleo Magazine.

“It’s common sense to eat foods that humans have eaten since the beginning of time, not processed foods,” Credicott said.

There’s also a philosophical component.

A true Paleo lifestyle includes caring: Is the beef grass-fed? Are the veggies grown locally? Is your food organic whenever possible?

Credicott eats a lot of meat, but he said, “I don’t want to eat animals raised in feedlots pumped up with antibiotics.”

Bob Blankenship, who works in the St. Charles Bend emergency department patient access services, hands a form back to a co-worker. Blankenship gets off his shift at 1 a.m. and said his hours affect how healthfully he eats.

ust when most of us are relaxing and getting ready for bed, Julie Hand is getting to work.

Hand is a registered nurse at St. Charles Bend’s Family Birthing Center, working in the labor and delivery rooms. Her shift begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 7:30 a.m.

She said her work schedule affects her life in a number of ways. Hand is often sleep deprived and doesn’t feel she eats as well as she would like. “You go home and you can’t even keep your eyes open,” she said.

“It’s like sleep rules you.”

Now, researchers at St. Charles Health System and Oregon Health & Science

University are conducting a study to find out if Hand and others with disrupted sleep could be harming their health. Hand is a participant in a yearlong study that began last month on the effects of sleep deprivation on several key markers of health, including obesity, nutritional choices and cognitive functioning.

The researchers are looking at whether people who sleep less, or sleep poorly, are more likely to suffer from attention and memory lapses, and whether they also might have dietary habits that can lead to weight gain.

Oregon debates payment parity • Bill would mandate equal pay for doctors, nurse practitioners

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

As often is the case in health care, something that seems simple can wind up being very complicated.

A bill in the Oregon legislature that would require private insurance companies to pay nurse practitioners the same rates as doctors for the same services has become stuck in the tangled web of health care financing.

And lawmakers may not be MONEY able to untangle that mess in the short time left in this year’s abbreviated legislative session.

At the heart of the matter is a debate over whether health care services, such as routine check-ups or treatment of an ear infection, should garner the same payment rate from an insurance company regardless of who provides that service.

Dietary changes can slow down eye condition L os Angeles Times Retinitis pigmentosa is one of several eye conditions that appears to benefit from nutritional substances. In a study published this month, researchers found that people with the condition experienced a slowing of the disease process if they took vitamin A supplements and ate a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Retinitis pigmentosa causes night blindness by adolescence and tunnel vision and total blindness by about age 60. Vitamin A has been a standard therapy since 1993, when studies showed it slowed disease progression. Adding omega-3s to the mix may be even better, the new research shows.

The study is published online in the Archives of Ophthalmology.

Paleo BETTER CHOICES Some foods still contain trans fat Despite ample publicity about trans fat’s association with heart disease, many popular grocery store products still contain it.

The American Heart Association recommends consumers limit trans fat intake to no more than 2 grams per day. Many dieticians suggest avoiding it altogether.

Small amounts of trans fat are in beef and dairy products, leaving little room in one’s diet for artificial trans fat from partially hydrogenated oils, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit health advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required trans fats to be listed on food labels, most manufacturers removed it from their products. But some did not, according to a sampling done by the CSPI. Marie Callender’s Lattice Apple Pie, for example, contains 5 grams of trans fat per serving; varieties of Pop Secret microwave popcorn contain 4 or 5 grams of trans fat per serving; and an order of Long John Silver’s breaded clam strips contains 7 grams.

According to the sampling, other foods containing 3 or more grams per serving include Pillsbury’s Buttermilk Biscuits, Pepperidge Farm’s Luscious 3-Layer Lemon Flavor Cake, Utz’s Cheese Flavored Puff’n Corn, Jimmy Dean’s Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwich and Celeste’s Original Pizza. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

Eat together and get in sync The next time you’re sitting across from someone, eating with them, take note: Are you both taking bites at the same time?

You might be, a study finds. Researchers from the Netherlands and Toronto looked at eating behaviors among 70 pairs of young women who ate a 20-minute meal together.

Mimicked bites were considered those that were taken within five seconds of each other.

(Behavioral mimicry occurs when a person unintentionally imitates the behavior of someone else.)

After analyzing the timing of the bites (which totaled 3,888), the researchers determined that overall, the women did mimic each other’s behavior, taking matched bites. The paired women also ate about the same amount.

The findings could have implications for altering eating behavior, the authors said: “If perceiving a nearby individual reaching for a snack results in a matched action, this might provide potential areas for interventions to prevent overconsumption of snack food.�

The study was published in the Feb. 2 issue of the online journal PLoS One. — Los Angeles Times

Continued from F1 Unlike many weight-loss diets, there’s no measuring grams of food or counting calories in the Paleo world.

But many lose weight.

Credicott said people consume more fats within the same number of calories.

The body starts processing food differently and it results in weight loss.

But that’s not what inspired Credicott to try it. He sought relief from stomach pain as well as more energy and better all-around health. Credicott was diagnosed with Celiac disease a few years back, which means his body reacts badly to the gluten found in many grains and baked foods. He and his wife ran the Celiac Maniac wholesale gluten-free bakery in Bend for a while.

Credicott tried being a gluten-free vegan, during which time he consumed a lot of carbohydrates, which he now attributes to his roller coaster of well-being. He never felt great for long. He said his body was soft, he felt lethargic and he caught colds constantly.

After adopting the Paleo diet, his health improved dramatically.

Credicott said there are many different motivations behind people’s interest in Paleo. For some, it’s to boost their energy. Others just want to eat local. Many are seeking weight loss.

Whatever the reason, he said a person doesn’t have to be diehard about it.

He practices the 80-20 rule, he said. “If you follow the principles 80 percent of the time, you’re golden.�

A weight-loss story Cain’s wife, Tammy Credicott, has always struggled with her weight, she said. When she was using artificial sweeteners to trim calories, she had a realization: “That’s not the natural lifestyle we wanted. I had questions about that.�

Then everyone in her family started having problems. Her youngest child has had eczema and night terrors. The oldest was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. While researching Celiac because of her husband’s condition, she said it started to seem like there could be a correlation between the foods they ate and these various problems.

She thought the Paleo diet made sense. And, in an effort to be supportive of her husband as he launched Paleo Magazine in the spring of 2011, she tried eating Paleo-style. After the first week of headaches and hunger — a common detox period — she woke up one day feeling more refreshed and energetic than she’d felt in years, she said. That feeling hasn’t gone away.

And, she said, “I dropped 26 pounds in the first six months.�

Low-carbohydrate diets require the body to evolve from a carbohydrate-burning machine into a fat-burning machine. Although she gets some carbs from vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and squash, she said, “I’ve lost nothing but fat.�

Criticism But not everyone applauds Paleo.

In January, the U.S. News & World Report ranking of popular weightloss diets, Paleo was listed as the least effective for weight loss. A primary complaint was that the diet lacked adequate research to convince panelists that it had effectiveness for longterm weight loss. Also, the Paleo diet eliminates some entire food groups and lacks adequate amounts of certain nutrients, the report said.

Registered dietitian Lori Brizee, of Bend, said she couldn’t endorse it either. “There are parts of it that make a lot of sense, but overall it is inadequate in nutrients,� she said. “The good things about this diet: No processed foods or added sugar. We would all

Cain Credicott started Paleo Magazine, which has 3,500 subscribers and is based in Bend.

benefit from that. ‌ The foods that are allowed are whole foods.�

If a person was really careful and ate a lot of vegetables, fruits and nuts, they could meet most of their vitamin and mineral needs, with some exceptions, she said. Folic acid, very important to child-bearing women, might get shortchanged, since legumes, which provide more folic acid than meat, are eliminated from the diet, she said.

The Paleo diet doesn’t provide adequate calcium, she said. And since it is so high in protein — meats, fish, poultry — a Paleo practitioner would need to meet the recommended allowances for calcium because high protein intake increases one’s calcium excretion in the urine. She added that the collection of foods might not fulfill one’s vitamin D needs, especially for Northern residents who lack exposure to the sun. And, its high meat and egg consumption would boost saturated fat intake, which could be a problem for anyone with high cholesterol and triglycerides, she said.

The low-carbohydrate aspect concerns Brizee, since that’s the main fuel people use for physical activity and brain function.

Paleo has been compared to the carb-restricted Atkins diet, but Credicott disputes that. “It’s not inherently low-carb,� he said. “I get plenty of carbs from starchy vegetables and nuts.� Sweet potatoes, for example, are a significant source of his carb intake.

The Paleolithic Era Also called the “caveman�

diet, the Paleo diet’s rationale is that we should eat like our ancestors. To that, Brizee said, “They ate what they could get. My guess is that if there were more carbs available to them, they would have consumed them. The hunter-gatherer diet is not necessarily going to make us as healthy as we can be. Up until recently, our diets have been healthier and healthier, enabling longer lifespans and more physical growth.�

The problem in our diets emerged after World War II, when Americans started eating more refined carbohydrates and sugar and processed foods — “the typical Western diet (that) is now hampering our health,� she said.

So perhaps the Paleo diet

trend is the pendulum swinging back.

The adoption of the modern diet and lifestyle that’s so different than that which “shaped the human genome for more than 2 million years is a major factor in the widespread prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases that are epidemic in western countries,� according to a report titled “The Western diet and lifestyle and diseases of civilization,� published in a 2011 issue of Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology, a peer-reviewed, online journal.

Eating foods consumed during the Paleolithic era — meat, seafood, eggs, plants, roots, berries, nuts and seeds — is one of many strategies the article suggests will improve Westerners’ health. Other lifestyle suggestions include getting regular exercise, managing stress, getting adequate sun exposure and sleep, and avoiding tobacco and other pollutants. — Reporter: 541-383-0304, aaurand@bendbulletin.com

Winter-friendly calorie burners Burning calories doesn’t have to mean working out at the gym or going for a run. There are a number of winter-friendly ways to exercise while you’re recreating or doing chores. Even sledding has a value. (Consider that every time you slide down the hill you have to walk back up. Pull the kids up too for some extra bang.)

Here are some approximate calorie-

burn counts based on a 145-pound woman for 30 minutes of activity: Sledding: 250 calories Ice skating: 230 calories Cross-country skiing: 300 calories Downhill skiing: 210 calories Snowboarding: 250 calories Walking the dog: 125 calories Shoveling snow: 230 calories — By Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

Bod Pod Continued from F1 She pulled some clothes on over her swimsuit and looked over the data printout with Ritchie. Gylman’s results: 44.9 percent fat (or 66.5 pounds) and 55.1 percent lean mass, which includes muscles and bones (81.6 pounds).

Gylman had taken the test once before, about a month ago. Although she had lost and regained some pounds during the meantime, her body fat was a lower percentage. (It had been 48.8 percent, she said.)

She wants to reduce her body fat while maintaining lean mass. She is aiming for between 23 and 30 percent body fat, or “moderately lean,” according to Vitela’s chart, which described this range as an acceptable level for good health.

“I just want to be healthier,” she said.

The Bod Pod The Bod Pod, invented in 1993, measures body density through a procedure that involves air displacement. There are two different chambers of the Bod Pod: a reference chamber and the test chamber where the person sits. A diaphragm is mounted on the common wall between them, on the back of the chair. The diaphragm quickly moves back and forth between the two chambers.

When air volume increases in one, it decreases the same amount in the other, according to information provided by Vitela. The air volume change indicates the amount of space taken up by the person. The machine combines this information with the height and weight of the subject, and spits out fat and lean mass numbers.

People who have done it say they don’t feel the air pressure changes inside the chamber.

Julie Downing, the physiology lab director at Central Oregon Community College, said the Bod Pod is a legitimate and accurate way to come up with body fat measurements.

COCC’s laboratory uses different methods, such as hydrostatic (underwater) weighing, which is also extremely accurate, she said. The most accurate system, according to Downing, is a dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the same instrument used to measure bone mineral density.

Bod Pods have typically been used only by research and military facilities, such as the Mayo Clinic, Oregon Health & Science University, the U.S. Air Force and the National Football League. Perhaps that’s in part due to its expense; Ritchie said the machine costs about $40,000. They haven’t been widely used commercially.

But now, anyone can make an appointment for a single Bod Pod test ($75), a single metabolism test ($45), or a combo ($99) at Vitela’s west Bend location. If a person wanted to enter into a longer term program that measured data over time, rates go down depending on how many of each test are desired.

Ritchie also said he plans to transport the Bod Pod to various locations for special events or health fairs. He’s been talking to various gyms and athletic clubs and corporate employers

who have wellness programs through work.

There are two primary groups of people who would use this Bod Pod: those with extra pounds who want to monitor their weight loss and high-end athletes whose body fat can play into their performance.

Take Cassie Kremer, for an example of the latter. No one would suggest Kremer needed to lose a pound. But the 28-yearold lifestyle coach at The Wellness Doctor, a chiropractic and natural health care business, is a bodybuilder who is training for a competition in April and wants to reach about 9 percent body fat. She has historically monitored her body fat by other methods — calipers and bioelectrical impedance analysis — but tried the Bod Pod recently. The Bod Pod told her she had 24 percent body fat. That was higher than the 16 percent she had measured through other types of testing, but she said her circumstances and weight were also quite different in the various testing scenarios.

“Whatever measurement you’re using, it can be a way to measure progress as long as you use the same tool over and over,” she said.

A broader program Anyone can make an appointment at Vitela just to measure their body fat.

But the company also uses the test as a kickoff to design an individual weight-loss program. Another crucial component to a specific weight-loss plan from the business is the metabolic test, which requires a person to breathe into a tube for about 10 minutes. This calculates resting metabolic rate, or how many calories it takes to operate the body — heart, brain, liver, etc. — for 24 hours.

This resting metabolic rate is an important part of one’s caloric intake equation if they’re trying to lose weight. The metabolic rate accounts for up to 75 percent of calories burned, according to The Metabolic Institute, a sports medicine health and performance organization in Spokane, Wash.

Armed with all this information, a health coach such as Ritchie might help a client such as Gylman arrange a diet that uses medically-designed, prepackaged foods and a six-meal-per-day plan to lose weight. Using specific combinations of proteins versus carbs, the prepackaged foods — also known as Medifast — are designed to create a calorie deficiency required for weight-loss without unmanageable hunger and cravings, Ritchie said.

Gylman likes the prepackaged food plan and says it works for her. It’s convenient, which is exceptionally helpful for the bookkeeper during the busy tax season.

But dietitians don’t typically endorse prepackaged food diets.

RanDee Anshutz, a registered dietitian in St. Charles Bend’s nutrition and diabetes program, said Medifast or other medical weight-loss programs can be beneficial for people who need to see immediate results in order to get momentum for developing healthy habits. But, she added,

Relay teams let runners go the distance (with a little help from their friends) On New Year’s Day, when you vowed to run a marathon this year, it probably seemed like an awesome idea. And then the champagne wore off.

Maybe you researched some training programs and realized you just can’t devote the time. Or you saw that as many as 90 percent of folks training for marathons get injured. Or your background is in team sports and the idea of going for a goal solo now seems lonely.

Whatever the reason for your resolution dissolution, I have a backup plan: Run a relay.

Splitting up the work means you don’t need to train as hard or as long, plus you’re guaranteed to have at least one person cheering for you.

“A lot of people aren’t going to run 26.2 miles, but they want to be a part of it,” says Wayne Kursch, the director of the Delaware Marathon, which is introducing an eightperson relay option this year.

The marathon’s four-person option has been popular, but Kursch realized that even 6.55 miles was a hurdle to entry for some would-be runners.

Offering to cut down the distance to a little over a 5K “is a great way to bump up the numbers,” says Kursch, who hopes to lure 3,000 participants.

there’s no guarantee that a person will actually develop those habits long term.

St. Charles’s weight management program “promotes a whole foods total health approach with weight loss as one of the benefits of making the change but not the only goal.

With Medifast and other medical food programs it seems that the primary goal is weight loss and less emphasis is put on the bigger picture of total health.”

Prepackaged foods are processed, Anshutz said. They’re often fortified with fiber and other nutrients, which is important, she said. But one can get fiber and nutrients from nonprocessed whole foods.

“For long term total health I’d like to encourage people to move away from processed foods rather than toward them,” she said.

Kremer, the lifestyles coach and bodybuilder, said when she’s trying to lose weight she takes care of her own food shopping and cooking. Her livelihood includes coaching others on the importance of a long-term approach to healthy

“A lot of people aren’t going to run 26.2 miles, but they want to be a part of it,” and a relay team may be a good option, says Wayne Kursch, director of the Delaware Marathon.

Plenty of other races are also welcoming runners who don’t want to go the entire distance.

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend featured a relay for the first time last month. The Marine Corps Historic Half marathon (May 20), launched last year, is growing from 100 teams to 250 teams. And the relay at this year’s inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon (March 17) is sold out.

When you hear runners talk “relays” these days, however, chances are they mean the long-distance, overnight kind.

living, which includes good food and exercise.

And that’s why the business where she works, The Wellness Doctor, is talking to Ritchie about a partnership to help pick up clients where Vitela leaves off. “We’re trying to work with them so once their people get done with weight loss through them, they come to us and we transition them into a healthy lifestyle,” Kremer said.

After Vitela’s clients reach their weight-loss goals “they need to know how to apply that to the real world, … how to grocery shop, prepare meals, know what amounts of protein fats and carbs they need to maintain their progress.

“People want the weight off now,” Kremer said. “I try to teach them how to eat right for their body. My method will take awhile. Vitela’s results are quicker. … Once they reach their goal we can help them maintain that. They’ll be more motivated to make some lifestyle changes once they had some success.”

There’s nothing new about getting 12 people to take turns covering 200 miles over 30 hours. This year marks the 31st running of Oregon’s Hood to Coast, which has 12,600 participants, making it the largest relay in the world.

Recently, there’s been a tremendous surge of interest in overnight relay racing, thanks to a company called Ragnar.

It started in 2004 with one event in Utah and now manages 15 across the country.

Chief executive Chris Infurchia says Ragnar is mapping out 10 additional courses in the United States, and the next step is taking Ragnar global.

The key difference between overnight relays and most other long-distance running events is that they’re meant to be social.

“A marathon is 90 percent about running.

A relay isn’t,” says Bob Fleshner, director for a D.C. area race, the American Odyssey Relay (April 27-28).

Although some participants wind up running about 20 miles over three legs, the breaks make that distance feasible for most casual joggers.

“As far as training is concerned, if you can do a 10K, you can survive. If you can do 8 to 10 miles comfortably, you’ll enjoy it,” Fleshner says.

St. Charles Bend laboratory medical technician Locke Taylor does some routine maintenance on a chemistry analyzer. Several of the machines and equipment in the lab are maintained in the evenings.

Sleep Continued from F1 They recruited more than 200 employees of the health system, Central Oregon’s largest employer, to participate in the study.

“There’s some scientific evidence that sleep and sleep patterns, and particularly sleep deprivation, changes how people eat and how hungry they are. It’s directly related to being overweight,” said Jackilen Shannon, an associate professor at OHSU and the principal investigator of the study. “It’s also been related to poor dietary patterns. So we were particularly interested in those aspects.”

The study The researchers recruited the participants in late January, holding a fair at St. Charles Bend. Employees of the health system who were interested came in and completed questionnaires on work schedules, diet, sleep patterns and cancer risk. They had blood drawn to assess blood sugar and fat levels, and had indicators of body composition, such as waist circumference, measured. Finally, the participants performed several cognitive tests to assess reaction times, attention and memory.

The researchers recruited both day shift and night shift workers to try to get a range of sleep patterns, said Shannon.

Bob Blankenship, who works from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. in patient registration in the hospital’s emergency department, was one of those who wandered in, brought by his wife who was also participating, he said. He said he doesn’t need much sleep, so copes well with the schedule.

But he said it does affect how he eats. By the time he has a dinner break, he said, the cafeteria is closed so he ends up eating a TV dinner brought from home or something similar. Once he gets home, sometime in the wee hours of the morning, he doesn’t feel like making food, he said.

Every three months, Blankenship and other participants will be asked to complete some of the same surveys and questionnaires they initially filled out. After a year, they will come back to complete the surveys again and have blood drawn and body composition measured.

“We’re looking to see if we can see relationships over the course of time,” said Shannon.

Recent research has shown that sleep deprivation, which often goes hand in hand with shift work, can have major health consequences.

“As we move into this 24/7 society, we have to be able to deliver services that are urgent and need to be delivered,” said Dr. David Dedrick, a sleep specialist at St. Charles Health System who was not involved in the study. “But we also need to have protections for those workers.”

Other local organizations that use night shift workers have modified schedules in recent years to try to improve worker health.

About two years ago, the Bend Police Department changed the shift schedule so that, rather than working two night shifts followed immediately by two day shifts, officers now work the same shift for three months, said Lt. Brian Kindel, an officer with the department.

The old schedule, he said, “wreaked havoc on my body.”

The new schedule is better for an officer’s health, he said, and better for public safety because officers are more alert

and rested during their shifts.

Little sleep, poor performance Anyone who’s tried to fit in a full day’s worth of activities after a poor night’s sleep can attest to the importance of being well-rested, and the scientific literature bears this out as well.

Lack of sleep has “a huge impact on your cognition,” said Dedrick. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation worsens reaction time, affects memory and may cause people to make riskier decisions.

People with inadequate sleep have been shown to be worse drivers and have more trouble operating machinery.

In one experiment, researchers from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research found that, after two nights without sleep, people participating in a game that mimicked gambling made riskier decisions than those with a full-night’s sleep, leading to more losses in the sleep deprived group. The researchers wrote that their findings were consistent with other literature showing that lack of sleep can impair the brain’s executive functions, the area of the brain that helps us think through decisions.

The effects of sleep on performance have also been cited in numerous public safety lapses, from air traffic controllers to physicians. The concern that lack of sleep could lead to

more medical errors led to a cap on work hours for medical residents in 2003.

A lack of sleep “affects our neurotransmission,” or the way that brain cells talk to each other, said Dr. William Kohler, director of the Florida Sleep Institute and a spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Scientists aren’t sure exactly how sleep affects the brain, Kohler said, or what function sleep serves to restore cognitive processes.

Though shift workers aren’t the only people with sleep deprivation, they are at higher risk, Kohler said. “What’s hard is to get your circadian clock to readjust all the time.” So, if shift workers try to go back a daytime schedule on their days off, he said, as most do, it can make getting adequate sleep difficult.

Obesity connection Both Hand and Blankenship cited trouble eating healthfully as a consequence of being up at night, an experience the scientific literature suggests may be common.

Indeed, some attribute the nation’s obesity epidemic with our collective lack of sleep. “It may be a big piece of the puzzle of the fattening of America,” said Dedrick.

Though numerous studies have shown a correlation between a lack of sleep and increase in girth, both in children and adults, there is no concrete

explanation of why it happens.

“An obvious theory is that if you are awake you are more likely to eat,” said Dedrick.

“And you are not likely to grab a head of broccoli, you are likely to grab a Snickers bar or other energy food.”

Another theory, specifically related to shift work, is that being awake at night throws off the hormones that make us feel hungry and full. These hormones, said Shannon, respond to circadian cycles, meaning they are released according to patterns of day and night. “So when you’re off the classic schedule, our bodies aren’t really trained to that,” she said. “You are awake and you are not feeling very hungry and then when you should be sleeping you are trying to eat. It all gets out of balance.”

Finally, people who don’t sleep as well may have less energy to do things that keep them fit, namely exercise.

For shift workers, this can be

particularly problematic, said Shannon, because even if they wanted to exercise, it may be difficult to fit in. “The gyms aren’t open if you are on a different schedule than everyone else.”

Ultimately, Shannon said, she’d like for the study to assist in finding solutions for people who are sleep deprived, for whatever reason. Though people will likely always have to work at night, she said, there may be ways to mitigate the health risks that come along with that schedule.

“If it appears that individuals who are working the night shift or don’t get adequate sleep have poorer diet, then what can we do to help make sure they have opportunities for better foods or more opportunities for physical activities.”

Right now, she said, “I don’t have a good answer for that.”

LOCAL RESEARCH What is being asked?

Researchers at Bend Memorial Clinic and elsewhere are wondering whether two existing treatments for gout have different effects on the cardiovascular system.

In particular, they are testing whether a relatively new drug called Uloric, marketed by the sponsor of the research, is more or less likely to cause serious heart or blood vessel complications than an older drug, allopurinol.

Who is eligible?

Patients 50 and older with a history of gout and cardiovascular problems.

What is the treatment?

Patients will receive a once-daily pill, either Uloric or allopurinol, and can remain on the study for up to five years.

Who is sponsoring the trial?

Takeda Global Research & Development Center, a subsidiary of a large Japanese pharmaceutical company.

M Pay Continued from F1 Or should payment rates differ based on the training and expertise of the person providing the service?

Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who go through additional training to serve as primary care providers, with the ability in Oregon to diagnose and treat conditions, prescribe drugs and operate independently of physicians.

Some nurse practitioners go on to specialize in treatment areas such as mental health or women’s health.

States differ in how much autonomy they grant nurse practitioners, but Oregon was one of the first states to license nurse practitioners, and has generally been ahead of other states in expanding their use and scope of practice. In many areas of the state, particularly in rural Eastern Oregon, nurse practitioners represent the only primary health care option available.

Payment rates for nurse practitioners also differ greatly from state to state and among public and private insurance plans. Medicare pays nurse practitioners at 85 percent of the rate paid to physicians for the same services, and many private insurance companies follow that payment structure.

Payment rates became an issue in Oregon in 2009 when several insurance companies opted to cut payment rates to nonphysician mental health providers, including nurse practitioners, from 85 to 65 percent of physician payment rates. In subsequent years, some insurers have cut their payment rates to nurse practitioners in primary care settings as well.

Nurse practitioners cried foul and appealed to lawmakers, who introduced a bill this year that would require private insurance companies to pay nurse practitioners and physicians at the same rate in non-HMO plans.

“This is not a nurse practitioner versus physician issue,” said Susan King, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association. “This is a fairness issue. It’s a recognition that particularly in primary and mental health care, our capacity is insufficient right now, and it’s only going to get worse.”

The group argues that such reimbursement cuts are forcing nurse practitioners to cut staff or even close their practices because they cannot cover their costs.

“The business costs are largely the same whether it’s provided by (a doctor) or a nurse practitioner,” said Tay Kapanos, director of state policy for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

“We see this as an access-tocare issue. It’s an issue about fair competition.”

Separate or equal Nurse practitioners and their supporters have framed the measure as “equal pay for equal work,” but physician groups reject the notion that all things are equal.

“We go through 11 to 13 years of training,” said Dr. Carla McKelvey, president of the Oregon Medical Association. “A nurse practitioner is typically going through five to seven years of training.

So it’s almost twice as much.

And that education comes at a price.”

Physicians come out of medical school with an average of $141,000 in debt, while nurse practitioners average about $64,000 in debt, she said.

“On top of that, because we are physicians, we have a higher liability risk, and that liability risk is from the assumption that we have a greater expertise,” McKelvey said. “Our liability costs are three times that of a nurse practitioner.”

Physicians are also concerned that the bill only mandates payment rates be the same for both nurse practitioners and doctors. Insurers could just as easily lower physician payments as raise payments to nurse practitioners under the bill. It doesn’t guarantee that insurers would reverse the payment cuts to nurse practitioners.

“We feel very strongly that that was unfair, that they should not have done it and

“This is not a nurse practitioner versus physician issue. This is a fairness issue.

It’s a recognition that particularly in primary and mental health care, our capacity is insufficient right now, and it’s only going to get worse.”

— Susan King, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association

that’s what needs to be fixed,” McKelvey said. “What this bill does is it takes a very complicated problem and tries to simplify it.”

For one, insurance companies don’t have a single physician payment rate even within a single geographic area. Plans contract with providers at various rates and can take advantage of a competitive market to drive down the cost of care. The bill does not specify how plans would determine which physician payment level would be the rate for nurse practitioners.

Additionally, many nurse practitioners work as salaried employees of a clinic and there is no provision to ensure those clinics would pass along the additional payment to the nurse practitioners. In many cases, nurse practitioners working in a physician clinic are able to bill under the physician’s billing number anyway and receive the physician payment rate.

Insurance companies have opposed the bill, suggesting it would drive up costs for consumers and wouldn’t address access issues where they exist.

“We don’t go about arrangements with practitioners in an unthinking way. We look at what the availability is in a particular area,” said Tom Holt, director of government relations for Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Oregon.

“If we’re talking about a small community where a nurse practitioner or another midlevel provider is primary care, and there is no one else, they get paid differently than in a place where there are lots of choices.”

Controlling costs The payment parity issue puts nurse practitioners in a bit of a conundrum. They’ve often been seen as part of the solution to rising health care costs, because they cost the health care system less than physicians. But if legislators mandate payment parity, there is less incentive for states or the federal government to invest in nurse practitioner training programs or other initiatives to boost their supply.

Nurse practitioner groups counter that studies have shown nurse practitioners tend to practice more efficiently than physicians, keeping their patients healthy and out of the hospital or emergency room, where costs really skyrocket.

“There are numerous studies that show that nurse practitioners are cost effective beyond our salaries, that it is the preventive services that we provide, it is the counseling that we provide, that not only help people to get healthy but to stay healthy,” Kapanos said.

As health reform discussion heat up, the role of nurse practitioners in the spectrum of health providers is likely to be a common theme. Increasingly, clinics are organizing around a patient-centered medical home model, where the patient is cared for by a team of providers rather than a single doctor. Under that model, if nurse practitioners and even physician assistants can treat the most complex cases they’re trained to treat, it could take the easier cases off of physicians’ plates. Doctors could then concentrate on the cases that require more extensive medical training.

“We want to be able to encourage people to go to the right level of care. If they need a high level of care, go to a higher level practitioner. If they can get good quality care with the midlevel practitioner, the nurse practitioner, that’s where they should go,” Holt said. “That stops making sense if they cost just as much.”

With so many unanswered

support the doctors,” said Rep. Mitch Greenlick, (D-Portland), who backs the bill.

That leaves lawmakers and proponents of the bill about a week to resolve concerns over the bill, including whether lawmakers should be involved in regulating payment rates for private insurance companies.

“I have somewhat of a dim view of the legislature’s ability to micromanage the market and actually achieve a good outcome,” said Rep. Jason Conger (R-Bend), a vocal critic of the bill. “With that said, I think the state does have an interest in making sure the market is shaped in such a way that primary care is available for its citizens.”

Conger thought that perhaps an interim workgroup might be a compromise solution, allowing all sides to find an equitable solution that avoids many of the thorny issues raised.

questions about how the bill would work if passed, lawmakers are still unsure how much the payment parity mandate would cost, and insurers can’t say how they would offset the higher payments under the mandate. In all likelihood, they’d pass those additional costs on to consumers.

“To the extent that there will be a requirement to pay any group of providers more money, that’s got to reflect itself in the premiums eventually,” Holt said.

The payment parity bill was approved by the House health committee early this month and sent to the House floor for a vote.

But lawmakers opted to kick the bill to the Rules committee, essentially keeping the bill alive till the end of the session without forcing lawmakers to make a decision on the matter.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t want to vote no, because they like supporting the nurses, but they also don’t want to vote yes, because they want to

“There’s a long line of other

folks who would like to get paid just like physicians,” Holt said.

Do it for Fido Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculated the average lifetime cost of smoking at $86,000 for an average 24year-old woman smoker and $183,000 for a 24-year-old male.

The total cost to society is even higher, at $106,000 for a woman and $220,00 for a man. But a recent survey suggested people might be willing to quit for the health of their pets.

Methods’ cost plays role in debate over providing birth control In the debate over to what extent employers should be required to provide free contraception for workers, no one has talked much about what methods are available and how women’s choices might change if cost were removed from the equation. But it’s an important subject.

With prices ranging from about $1 for a condom to more than $800 for an intrauterine device (IUD), some women might switch methods if they could afford to.

Long-acting methods such

as the IUD and the hormonal implant are nearly 100 percent effective, require no effort after insertion and protect against pregnancy for up to 10 years.

(Birth control pills are about 92 percent effective.)

These longer-acting methods, however, carry a hefty upfront price tag of between $500 and $1,000 for the device itself and its insertion.

Meanwhile, insurance coverage is uncertain. Although the majority of employer health plans cover contraception, they don’t necessarily cover all meth-

ods. But that may soon change for many women: under the new health-care law, new employer health plans or those that change their benefits substantially will be required to cover all FDA-approved contraception methods and related counseling without co-pays.

Health co-ops score $639M in federal loans • 7 groups serving 8 states will get funds, including Freelancers CO-OP of Oregon

By Harris Meyer Kaiser Health News

WASHINGTON — Seven organizations will receive a total of $639 million in federal lowinterest loans to launch new, consumer-governed health insurance plans in eight states, the federal government has announced.

The new plans, authorized by the 2010 health care law, are scheduled to open for business in 2014. They will be available on the new state health exchanges, or marketplaces, mandated by the law. They primarily will serve Americans under age 65 in the individual and small-group insurance markets.

More loan recipients will be announced in coming months, with the goal of launching at least one nonprofit co-op plan in every state, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which administers the program.

The seven loan recipients are Freelancers CO-OP of New Jersey, New Mexico Health Connections, Midwest Members Health in Iowa and Nebraska, Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative in Wisconsin, Freelancers CO-OP of Oregon, Montana Health Cooperative, and Freelancers Health Service Corporation in New York.

Interest rates will vary be between 0 percent and 1 percent, based on the current rate for Treasury securities of similar duration. Funds will be disbursed over time, as plans meet government-set milestones for progress. A CMS official said the agency has an “early-warning system” to spot if a co-op plan is facing financial problems and requires intervention.

reasons,” said Peter Kongstvedt, a Virginia-based health care consultant. “The truth is it’s not easy to get costs down.

It’s hard for me to believe (coop plans) can be more efficient and effective.”

Even so, the number of credible organizations that have stepped forward to start co-op plans has impressed others.

“I’m really surprised. I thought this would just lie there and it hasn’t,” said Jeff Goldsmith, a veteran health care industry analyst also based in Virginia.

‘Worth a shot’ Congressional Democratic leaders crafted the co-op plan program as a political compromise when it became clear that their preferred approach — cre-

John Morrison, president of the National Alliance of State Health Cooperatives, announces in Helena, Mont., on Tuesday that NASHCO is investing $639 million in health cooperatives.

ating a public insurance plan to compete with private insurers — would derail passage of the entire health care bill.

While consumer-governed health insurers have a long

history in the U.S., only a few remain today, covering about 2 million Americans. The largest and best-known survivors are Seattle-based Group Health Cooperative and Minnesota-based

HealthPartners. Those plans aren’t necessarily cheaper than other types of health plans, but they are well-regarded in terms of quality and responsiveness.

Richard Popper, the CMS official heading the co-op program, would not disclose how many organizations have applied for loans.

The average loan is projected by the government to total $15 million for startup costs and $100 million for state insurance reserve requirements, with repayment required within five years for the startup loans and 15 years for the reserve loans.

Some of the startup plans are expected to fail, and the government last year predicted a nearly 40 percent default rate for the loans.

“There will be a large number of casualties in this first crowd, but we need more health plans,” Goldsmith said. “I think this is worth a shot.”

A level playing field?

Applicants, Popper said, include physician and hospital groups, community and agricultural organizations, small-business coalitions, labor unions and even some large employers. Applications may be submitted throughout 2012, until the $3.4 billion in federal loan money is fully committed.

While the new co-op plans must primarily serve individuals and small groups buying coverage in the exchanges, up to one-third of the co-ops’ business can be large employer groups and Medicaid beneficiaries.

The health insurance industry is pressing to make sure coop plans are held to the same rules as other insurers. “Our main focus is on maintaining a level playing field,” said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s trade group.

SOMETIMES LESS IS BEST

Providing an alternative The new plans are being formed by public health activists, medical associations, business groups, hospital executives, labor unions and others.

They’re betting that Americans want a local, consumer-friendly alternative to commercial insurers.

“People from all walks of life are dissatisfied with the status quo and believe that our health care and health insurance system can be dramatically improved,” said John Morrison, a former Montana insurance commissioner who is on the board of the proposed Montana Health Cooperative and also heads the National Alliance of State Health Cooperatives.

The plans are being started under the health law’s Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) program. The aim is to increase competition among insurers, potentially reducing premiums and improving health care quality and customer service. In many states, only one or two insurers control the bulk of the health insurance business.

Some experts are skeptical that these fledgling health plans can compete effectively against large, established insurers.

They warn of the difficulties of recruiting experienced insurance executives and of quickly signing up a large enough and healthy enough membership to make the plans financially viable. Many nonprofit insurance plans launched under federal initiatives in the past 40 years went bust or were sold or converted to for-profit status.

“It’s comforting to say that existing plans are wasteful and are driving costs up for selfish

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS: The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for June 6, 2012. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property.

The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 5/7/2012 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid.

ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe you current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you.

YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar at 800-452-7636 and ask for lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice.
