DESCHUTES COUNTY

Benefiting from the Affordable Care Act

Some adults stand to gain from health law tax credits

By Andrew Clevenger The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Twenty-five percent of working-age adults in Deschutes County who earned up to four times the poverty level either bought their own health insurance or went uninsured in 2010, according to a recent analysis of census data by a health policy organization.

Individuals and families in this income bracket would qualify for government tax credits under the Affordable Care Act beginning in 2014.

Deschutes County’s eligibility rate is

well above the national average of 17 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that focuses on health-related issues.

Rates throughout Central and Eastern Oregon are likewise above the national average, including 23 percent for Baker, Umatilla, Union and Wallowa counties, 22 percent for Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Hood River, Jefferson, Morrow, Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler counties and 27 percent for Harney, Klamath, Lake and Malheur counties.

THROUGH THE WOODS

By Duffie Taylor The Bulletin

The state Department of Agriculture is once again reviewing its restrictions on growing canola.

For areas like Central Oregon that are prohibited from growing canola, this review could have a big impact, particularly on farmers wanting to convert the seeds into biodiesel and those trying to protect the region’s lucrative vegetable seed industry.

Currently, the state restricts canola seed growth without a special permit within a 48-by-120-mile rectangle that stretches from Portland to south of Springfield.

Prineville farmers Wade and Janice Flegel are among those who want the restrictions modified.

The pair obtained a special permit to grow a test plot of canola in 2010, but a tough winter ended up killing their small crop.

They’ve hesitated to try again, because they don’t think they can fulfill the permit’s research funding requirement.

“I guess it’s pretty hard to have restrictions on any crops and it limits for farmers what’s economically viable,” Wade Flegel said.

The Flegels primarily grow alfalfa but want to use canola seed as a rotational crop to reduce pests and disease.

They’re also hoping to turn oil from the seeds into biofuel and offset a share of their annual fuel costs, which last year totaled about $45,000.

Big items still on agenda in Salem SALEM — The legislative countdown clock has started ticking.

Constitutionally, lawmakers have 35 days before they must “sine die,” the Latin term for adjournment. But from the start of the session, the goal has been to wrap up Wednesday.

“If I were a betting man, I would say Thursday,” said House Republican Spokesman Nick Smith.

And at this time of the session, everyone seems to be wagering.

“I’m still fairly optimistic (about) Wednesday evening,” said IN Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend.

Behind closed doors, nego- SALEM tiations continue and lawmakers are working their way through a backlog of bills that are relatively easy to pass through the chamber. A bill preventing would-be employers from advertising that the “unemployed not apply,” and another to help stop cyberbullying passed the House on Monday evening.

But several of the big-ticket items remain on the agenda.

Two of the governor’s education reform bills have yet to be voted on in the House. One would create “achievement compacts” requiring schools and universities to set goals; the schools and universities would receive funding depending on their success in reaching those goals. The other measure focuses on reforming early childhood programs. A bill creating a health insurance exchange also has yet to reach the House floor.

The budget has yet to be voted on, although both parties seem to agree on its details.

ABOARD THE USS JOHN C. STENNIS, off the coast of Mexico — Aidan Daniels’ journey toward his father began a little more than a week ago in the airport in Seattle, where he boarded a commercial flight headed over the Pacific. Six hours later, he landed in Honolulu and looked up into the eyes of his father, Lt. Cmdr. William Daniels, a Navy cryptologist. He had not seen him in seven months.

Aidan is 8 years old. He was soon to start one of the most unusual family reunions related to U.S. military service: a high-seas passage aboard a warship on its last leg home.

The nuclear aircraft carrier John C. Stennis had returned to U.S. waters after more than six months at sea, during which its aircraft flew the final Navy flight in the long war in Iraq, more than 1,000 combat sorties over Afghanistan and high-seas counterpiracy patrols in the North Arabian Sea.

Fears grow that Oscar allure may be fading

By Brooks Barnes and Michael Cieply New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — The Oscar statuette stands 131⁄2 inches tall and weighs 81⁄2 pounds.

They may want to think about shrinking it. The Academy Awards ceremony, after all, appears to be evolving toward a materially scaled-down event. And

with early Nielsen ratings for Sunday’s telecast essentially flat — up a bit in total viewers but static among the bull’s-eye audience of viewers 18-49 — Hollywood started coming to grips with one of its biggest worries: Is this the new normal for the Oscars? A diminished attraction that ranks dramatically behind the Super Bowl and a slew of playoff games,

and has even been eclipsed by a surging, better-suited-to-the-social-media-age Grammys?

ABC estimated that this year’s Academy Awards broadcast, with two sparsely seen movies, “The Artist” and “The Iron Lady,” sweeping the top categories, drew about 39.3 million viewers, up 3.7 percent from last year.

CORRECTIONS

From Valley Girls to the Kardashians, young women have long been mocked for the way they talk.

Whether it be uptalk (pronouncing statements as if they were questions? Like this?), creating slang words like “bitchin’” and “ridic,” or the incessant use of “like” as a conversation filler, vocal trends associated with young women are often seen as markers of immaturity or even stupidity.

Right?

But linguists — many of whom once promoted theories consistent with that attitude — now say such thinking is outmoded. Girls and women in their teens and 20s deserve credit for pioneering vocal trends and popular slang, they say, adding that young women use these embellishments in much more sophisticated ways than people tend to realize.

“A lot of these really flamboyant things you hear are cute, and girls are supposed to be cute,” said Penny Eckert, a professor of linguistics at Stanford University. “But they’re not just using them because they’re girls. They’re using them to achieve some kind of interactional and stylistic end.”

The latest linguistic curiosity to emerge from the petri dish of girl culture gained a burst of public recognition in December, when researchers from Long Island University published a paper about it in The Journal of Voice. Working with what they acknowledged was a very small sample — recorded speech from 34 women ages 18 to 25 — the professors said they had found evidence of a new trend among female college students: a guttural fluttering of the vocal cords they called “vocal fry.”

A classic example of vocal fry, best described as a raspy or croaking sound injected (usually) at the end of a sentence, can be heard when Mae West says, “Why don’t you come up sometime and see me,” or, more recently on television, when Maya Rudolph mimics Maya Angelou on “Saturday Night Live.”

Not surprisingly, gadflies in cyberspace were quick to pounce on the study — or, more specifically, on the girls and women who are frying their words. “Are they trying to sound like Kesha or Britney Spears?” teased The Huffington Post, naming two pop stars who employ vocal fry while singing, although the study made no mention of them. “Very interesteeeaaaaaaaaang,” said Gawker.com, mocking the lazy, drawn-out affect.

Social cues Do not scoff, said Nassima AbdelliBeruh, a speech scientist at Long Island University and an author of the study.

Why creaky voice?

“They use this as a tool to convey something,” she said. “You quickly realize that for them, it is as a cue.”

Other linguists not involved in the research also cautioned against forming negative judgments.

“If women do something like uptalk or vocal fry, it’s immediately interpreted as insecure, emotional or even stupid,” said Carmen Fought, a professor of linguistics at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif. “The truth is this: Young women take linguistic features and use them as power tools for building relationships.”

The idea that young women serve as incubators of vocal trends for the culture at large has longstanding roots in linguistics. As Paris is to fashion, the thinking goes, so are young women to linguistic innovation.

“It’s generally pretty well known that if you identify a sound change in progress, then young people will be leading old people,” said Mark Liberman, a linguist at the University of Pennsylvania, “and women tend to be maybe half a generation ahead of males on average.”

Less clear is why. Some linguists suggest that women are more sensitive to social interactions and hence more likely to adopt subtle vocal cues. Others say women use language to assert their power in a culture that, at least in days gone by, asked them to be sedate and decorous.

Another theory is that young women are simply given more leeway by society to speak flamboyantly.

Vocal fry, also known as creaky voice, has a long history with English speakers.

David Crystal, a professor of linguistics at Bangor University in Wales, cited it as far back as 1964 as a way for British men to denote their superior social standing.

In the U.S., it has seemingly been gaining popularity among women since at least 2003, when Fought, the Pitzer College linguist, detected it among the female speakers of a Chicano dialect in California.

So what does the use of vocal fry denote? Like uptalk, women use it for a variety of purposes. Ikuko Patricia Yuasa, a lecturer in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, called it a natural result of women’s lowering their voices to sound more authoritative.

It can also be used to communicate disinterest, something teenage girls are notoriously fond of doing.

“It’s a mode of vibration that happens when the vocal cords are relatively lax, when sublevel pressure is low,” said Liberman. “So maybe some people use it when they’re relaxed and even bored, not especially aroused or invested in what they’re saying.”

But “language changes very fast,” said Eckert, and most people — particularly adults — who try to divine the meaning of new forms used by young women are “almost sure to get it wrong.”

“What may sound excessively ‘girly’ to me may sound smart, authoritative and strong to my students,” she said.

T S Rule to require rearview cameras in cars New York Times News Service On average, two children die and about 50 are injured every week when someone accidentally backs over them in a vehicle, according to Kids AndCars.org, a nonprofit group that pushed the government to begin tracking such tragedies. And more than two-

thirds of the time, a parent or other close relative was behind the wheel.

Now, auto safety regulators have decided to do something about it. Federal regulators plan to announce this week that automakers will be required to put rearview cameras in all passenger vehicles by

2014 to help drivers see what is behind them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which proposed the mandate in late 2010, is expected to send a final version of the rule to Congress on Wednesday.

“We haven’t done anything else to protect pedestrians,”

said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety in Washington.

“This is one thing we can do and should do.”

A spokeswoman for the highway traffic safety agency declined to comment before the new rule was announced.

An Ohio State Highway Patrol helicopter leaves Chardon High School on Monday in Chardon, Ohio. A gunman opened fire inside the high school’s cafeteria at the start of the school day Monday.

1 dead, 4 wounded in school shooting

By Thomas J. Sheeran The Associated Press

Doug Gasper, a ninth-grader at Chardon High School, is hugged by his mother, Sandy, as they leave Maple Elementary School on Monday in Chardon, Ohio. Students assembled at Maple Elementary after a shooting took place at the high school.

CHARDON, Ohio — A teenager opened fire in the cafeteria at his suburban Cleveland high school Monday, killing one student and wounding four others before he was chased from the building by a teacher and captured a short distance away, authorities said.

A student who saw the attack up close said it appeared that the gunman targeted a group of students sitting together and that the one who was killed was gunned down while trying to duck under the cafeteria table.

FBI officials would not comment on a motive. And Police Chief Tim McKenna said authorities “have a lot of homework to do yet” in their investigation of the shooting, which sent students screaming through the halls at the start of the school day at 1,100-student Chardon High.

Teachers locked down their classrooms as they had been trained to do during drills, and students took cover as they waited for the all-clear in this town of 5,100 people 30 miles from Cleveland.

One teacher was said to have dragged a wounded student into his classroom for protection. Another chased the gunman out of the building, police said.

The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was arrested near his car a half-mile away, the FBI said. He was not immediately charged.

Fifteen-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said the gunman was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied. But other students disputed that.

“Even though he was quiet, he still had friends,” said Tyler Lillash, 16. “He was not bullied.”

Russian Murdoch tabloids paid TV reports police for info, official says weeks-old plot to kill Putin

By Janet Stobart

Los Angeles Times

New York Times News Service MOSCOW — Russian television reported Monday that the Ukrainian and Russian intelligence services had worked together over many weeks to thwart an assassination attempt on the Russian prime minister, Vladimir Putin.

The report came less than a week before the Russian presidential election Sunday, raising questions about the timing of its release, in part because two suspects were arrested weeks ago. Putin, the dominant figure in Russian politics, is widely expected to return to the presidency, which he held for two terms before becoming prime minister in 2008.

The report by the government-controlled broadcaster, Channel One, said the two suspects were arrested in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, after surviving an explosion in an apartment there on Jan. 4.

A third man died in the blast, which occurred while the Men were mixing chemicals for an explosive device, according to the report. Authorities said the three men had been dispatched to the city by the Chechen terrorist leader Doku Umarov, Channel One reported.

One suspect, Ilya Pyanzin, was arrested immediately after the explosion, according to the report, and the second, Adam Osmayev, was arrested a month later.

LONDON — Payments to police and public officials in return for information on celebrities and names in the public domain for stories dealing with little more than “salacious gossip” were common practice at News Corp.owned tabloids, a British police official said Monday.

Deputy Chief Commissioner Sue Akers made the statement in a continuing civil inquiry into media practices and ethics triggered by the phone-hacking scandal that broke last summer when it was revealed that the News of the World, owned by News Corp., had hacked into the cellphone of teenage rape and

murder victim Milly Dowler.

News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch closed the popular tabloid after a public outcry.

Set in motion by Prime Minister David Cameron, the inquiry began a new phase Monday, looking at relations between the media and public officials. So far, it has revealed a widespread culture of phone hacking and surveillance of newsworthy people by journalists that had been all but ignored by police over the last decade.

Monday’s evidence revealed long-standing illegal payments to police and public officials by journalists working for two of Murdoch’s tabloids, the News of the World and the Sun.

New Hampshire may revoke its gay marriage law

By Abby Goodnough New York Times News Service

As same-sex marriage supporters celebrate victories in Washington and Maryland this month, they are keeping a wary eye on New Hampshire, where lawmakers may soon vote to repeal the state’s 2-yearold law allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed.

A repeal bill appears to have a good chance of passing in the state House and Senate, which are both controlled by Republicans. The bigger question is whether they can muster enough votes to overcome a promised veto from Gov. John Lynch, a Democrat.

Based on party lines, House and Senate Republicans both have vetoproof majorities. But this is an issue where party allegiance gets muddy.

In a state whose “Live Free or Die” motto figures into many a policy decision, even many opponents of same-sex marriage wish the issue would just disappear. Republican lawmakers with libertarian leanings, a sizable group, seem especially unhappy to be facing a repeal vote, as well as those who maintain that cutting spending should be the Legislature’s sole concern. Both groups appear worried about a backlash from their constituents.

Rep. Andrew Manuse, a Republican, said in an email that he would support a repeal because he objected to government “using its power to redefine a religious, social and societal institution.” But he added, “I really am not

tered on the edge of an even larger nuclear crisis than the one that engulfed the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant.

An advanced copy of the report describes how Japan’s response was hindered at times by a debilitating breakdown in trust between the major actors: then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan; the Tokyo headquarters of the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power, known as TEPCO; and the manager at the stricken plant.

The conflicts produced confusion in the early days of the crisis, the report said.

focusing on this issue.”

Should the repeal pass, New Hampshire would be the first state in which a legislature has reversed itself on the issue of same-sex marriage.

In Maine, voters repealed a marriage law through a referendum in November 2009, shortly after the Legislature approved it. This fall, a ballot initiative will ask voters to make same-sex marriage legal again. The California Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that same-sex couples there had a right to marry, but voters banned same-sex marriage in an initiative later that year. The issue remains in court.

In a recent poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, 59 percent of respondents were either strongly or somewhat opposed to repealing the law, while 32 percent said they supported repeal.

Rep. David Bates, a Republican, filed the repeal bill in January 2011, shortly after the GOP took control of the Legislature. But House leaders postponed a vote, saying they needed to focus on the budget. Under legislative rules, the bill must come up for a vote this year, although lawmakers could vote to table it again.

More Americans seeking dental treatment at the ER

By Lindsey Tanner The Associated Press

CHICAGO — More Americans are turning to the emergency room for routine dental problems — a choice that often costs 10 times more than preventive care and offers far fewer treatment options than a dentist’s office, according to an analysis of government data and dental research.

Most of those emergency visits involve trouble such as toothaches that could have been avoided with regular checkups but went untreated, in many cases because of a shortage of dentists, particularly those willing to treat Medicaid patients, the analysis said.

The number of ER visits nationwide for dental problems increased 16 percent from 2006 to 2009, and the report released today by the Pew Center on the States suggests the trend is continuing.

In Florida, for example, there were more than 115,000 ER dental visits in 2010, resulting in more than $88 million in charges. That included more than 40,000 Medicaid patients, a 40 percent increase from 2008.

Many ER dental visits involve the same patients seeking additional care. In Minnesota, nearly 20 percent of all dental-related ER visits are return trips, the analysis said.

That’s because emergency rooms generally are not staffed by dentists. They can offer pain relief and medicine for infected gums but not much more for dental patients. And many patients are unable to find or afford follow-up treatment, so they end up back in the emergency room.

“Emergency rooms are real-

Canola Continued from A1 Wade Flegel said he isn’t sure how much biofuel a canola seed crop would yield, and that’s part of the problem he has with the state’s restrictions.

“Part of it is just not to be able to have the opportunity to see what’s possible; that’s an area that’s just a little disheartening,” Flegel said.

So why can’t farmers grow canola?

According to Dan Hilburn with the Oregon Department of Agriculture, it’s because researchers still aren’t sure canola seed and already wellestablished seeds — such as carrot and onion — can coexist.

Legislature Continued from A1 And a small group of lawmakers continues to try to hammer out an agreement on the Columbia River Bill, which would permit the diversion and storage of winter flows, which would be used largely for irrigation.

As of Monday evening, Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, said there has yet to be an agreement on the bill. McLane said the bill has the potential to create at least 1,400 jobs. But some point out it could cost a lot to store the water, which is

ER dental visits in Oregon and elsewhere CHICAGO — Emergency room visits for many easily prevented dental problems are increasing nationwide, according to a new report. The study by the Pew Center on the States was based partly on hospital data from 24 states. Its findings do not mention every state that was studied, but here’s a look at places where the cost or growth rates are high: • In Florida, ER visits for dental trouble totaled more than 115,000 in 2010, resulting in more than $88 million in charges.

That included more than 40,000 Medicaid patients, a 40 percent increase from 2008.

• Dental visits to the ER by Oregon Medicaid patients totaled 12,402 in 2010, a 31 percent jump from 2008.

• South Carolina ER dental visits increased nearly 60 percent in 2009 from four years earlier.

• Tennessee ER dental visits totaled more than 55,000 in 2009 — five times more than for burns.

• Dental visits to North Carolina emergency rooms totaled more than 69,000 in 2009 — the 10th most common reason for ER treatment in the state.

• Georgia’s 60,000 ER visits for dental problems and oral health in 2007 cost more than $23 million.

• In New York, ER or surgery center treatment for tooth decayrelated trouble in young children cost more than $31 million in 2008, 32 percent higher than in 2004.

• In Illinois’ Cook County, including Chicago, ER dental visits totaled nearly 77,000 from 2008 to 2011.

• In Maine, dental problems were the main reason for ER visits among Medicaid patients and uninsured young people in 2006.

ly the canary in the coal mine.

If people are showing up in the ER for dental care, then we’ve got big holes in the delivery of care,” said Shelly Gehshan, director of Pew’s children’s dental campaign. “It’s just like pouring money down a hole.

“It’s the wrong service, in the wrong setting, at the wrong time,” she said.

The center in Washington, D.C., is a division of the nonprofit Pew Charitable Trusts.

Pew researchers analyzed hospital information from 24 states, data from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and studies on dental care.

Not all states collect data on ER visits for dental care, but those that do reveal the trend, Gehshan said.

Using emergency rooms for dental treatment “is incredibly expensive and incredibly inefficient,” said Dr. Frank Catalanotto, a professor at the University of Florida’s College of Dentistry who reviewed the report.

Preventive dental care such as routine teeth cleaning can cost $50 to $100, versus $1,000 for emergency room treatment that may include painkillers for aching cavities and antibiotics from resulting infections, Catalanotto said.

tard seeds, Hilburn said. It’s weedy and has “a reputation for being a volunteer,” which increases the chance of crosspollination or contamination.

Another concern, especially in Central Oregon, is that beeloving canola could monopolize pollinators’ attention if it’s flowering at the same time as vegetable seeds.

Flegel said he is familiar with the concerns but still thinks coexistence is possible.

“We want to be in cooperation with our neighbors and you still need to be a good steward. We understand that,” Flegel said.

Manager of Central Oregon Seeds Mike Weber said he and many other vegetable seed growers are of the same opinion. They aren’t entirely opposed to canola; they just

want rules in place to ensure the industry that makes up their livelihood will be preserved.

The attitude toward canola here is “not like it is in Willamette Valley,” Weber said.

“We believe within the correct parameters, growers can make their choices.”

For Weber, those parameters include restricting canola planting to winter months and banning genetically modified seed.

With that in mind, Weber said he still has doubts about whether canola seed yields in the region will ever turn a profit for growers.

Unlike canola seed growers in Canada, area farmers will have to pay to irrigate their crop, which puts them at a disadvantage in a competitive

one source of conflict.

There’s also the ongoing hot debate surrounding foreclosure protection bills.

Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, who until recently was in the center of the debate, said he’s still “hoping and praying” a deal can be reached.

“But I wouldn’t bet my first son” on it, he said.

House Democratic Leader Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said the two sides have reached an impasse and have stopped meeting.

Helping homeowners facing foreclosure was one of Kotek’s main priorities this session.

“We will keep fighting and not give up,” Kotek said. “We’re not the problem.”

Things can change quickly near the end of the session. The lull is often followed by a flurry of activity.

House Republican Leader Kevin Cameron, R-Salem, pointed out that in different parts of the building, people are working on education, water and other bills yet to reach the House floor.

“Things change quickly and move fast at the end,” Cameron said.

Oscars Continued from A1 That is about 13 percent of the U.S. population. Among adults 18-49, viewership was flat at 14.9 million people.

“I think that’s become the normal,” Tom Sherak, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said of the more modest audience for the Oscars. Sherak noted that the ceremony faced competition on Sunday from TNT’s presentation of the NBA All-Star game.

By comparison, the Super Bowl drew more than 113 million viewers early this month, up 33 percent from its average in the 1990s. A playoff game in January drew about 58 million viewers. The Grammy Awards attracted nearly 40 million people this year, powered by interest in how the program would memorialize Whitney Houston but also by efforts to turn that show into more of a live concert and less of an envelopeopening ceremony.

ABC characterized this year’s Oscar ratings as “surging year to year” and noted that the online audience for the event “experienced tremendous year-over-year growth.” Ratings information for the vast overseas audience for the telecast will trickle in over the coming days.

The high point In the 1990s and shortly afterward, when populist movies like “Forrest Gump” and “Gladiator” won top prizes, the Oscars telecast routinely delivered about 45 million total viewers. The high point came in 1998, when the telecast delivered a peak audience of around 57.3 million viewers.

But the flat ratings among younger viewers for this year’s Oscars, which came despite scrambling by the Academy to deliver an up-

biodiesel market.

“The two fields (of canola seed) produced here weren’t successful,” Weber said.

But Flegel said as long

tick, adds fuel to the widely held belief that Hollywood’s awards machinery is broken.

Indeed, the movie capital awakened Monday to the realization that for yet another year it had delivered a fivemonth buildup to a one-night letdown.

Billy Crystal, who hosted the Oscars, suffered withering reviews for a routine that was long on pep but struck critics as antiquated.

“Oscars Become Badly Paced Bore-fest” read the headline in the Hollywood Reporter. Writing in The New York Times, Alessandra Stanley likened the show to “an AARP pep rally.” In The Washington Post, Hank Stuever wrote of the ceremony: “Early on, it hit the rocks and started to list. Almost everyone drowned.”

The smaller Oscars is epitomized by its biggest player, the tiny but effective Weinstein Co., which powered “The Artist” to five trophies Sunday, including best picture, and “The Iron Lady” to two, including best actress for Meryl Streep.

Harvey Weinstein, whose company also won best picture last year with “The King’s Speech,” aggressively campaigned for the films, trotting Uggie, the dog from “The Artist,” to events and insisting in radio ads that Streep deserved an Oscar in part because she hadn’t won one since 1983.

Neither “The Artist” nor “The Iron Lady” has struck a nerve at the North American box office, with each so far luring about 4 million people to theaters. That is as if all the people living in Los Angeles had gone to see the films but the rest of the country did something else.

With films that most of America hasn’t seen continuing to dominate the Oscars — “Hugo,” a winner of five trophies Sunday, has been a box-office dud — the Acad-

emy seems to have effectively eliminated one of the crucial measuring sticks of the past: the ability of a picture to move the masses to buy tickets. Put another way the Academy, whose membership is smaller and artier than in decades past, does not seem as responsive to audience pressure as it does to campaign wizardry.

Aging population, aging Academy Sherak acknowledged that the Academy’s membership process has produced an older group with more esoteric tastes. Those older members, the thinking goes, are choosing movies that play to an audience that doesn’t spend much time in theaters, where the big movies make their mark. “We’re all living longer, so we’re an older organization,” said Sherak. “If you’re healthy, 67 is the new 55.”

Sherak will not be running for a fourth term as the Academy’s president; his position on its governing board, a prerequisite to the presidency, has come up against a term limit. Later this year, then, a new president will have to confront the equation that has produced a smaller Oscar enterprise.

While there has been much talk in the past of restoring energy to the Oscars by compressing the monthslong lead up, any such adjustment appears likely to involve relatively minor tweaks: moving the awards up by a week, for instance, or by announcing the nominations earlier.

The big questions, in fact, will have to be answered by the Oscar voters, who will decide whether the bent toward smaller films is a permanent thing. But, cautioned Sherak, “As soon as you say that, a ‘Titanic’ or a ‘Lord of the Rings’ or an ‘Avatar’ comes along.”

Romney, Santorum snipe on eve of Michigan vote

By David Espo and Thomas Beaumont The Associated Press

LIVONIA, Mich. — On the eve of a Michigan showdown, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum swapped insults Monday in a struggle for the Republican presidential nomination growing so long and heated that party officials fretted openly it could harm prospects for winning the White House this fall.

On this day, the subject was their competing plans for the economy.

“Senator Santorum is a nice guy, but he’s never had a job in the private sector,” Romney said as he and his closest rival charged across the state in a final day of pre-primary campaigning.

Santorum said Romney’s tax cut plans mirror the rhetoric of Occupy Wall Street and include “just more Obamastyle class warfare.”

The Santorum campaign sponsored computerized phone calls urging Michigan Democrats to vote against Romney in the state’s Republican primary, which is allowed

Health Continued from A1 In 2014, the poverty level is projected to be $11,505 for an individual and $23,425 for a family of four, meaning 400 percent of the poverty rate amounts to $46,020 and $93,700, respectively.

The Affordable Care Act has generated controversy since President Barack Obama signed it into law in 2010. Its proponents argue that requiring everyone to buy insurance will reduce costs by avoiding situations where people try to secure coverage only after they get sick, while opponents maintain that the mandate is an unconstitutional violation of an individual’s right to choose.

An estimated 560,000 Oregonians didn’t have health insurance in 2011, and almost 90 percent of those were adults between the ages of 18 and 64, according to the Oregon Health Authority. Nationwide, there were almost 50 million uninsured Americans in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest figures.

While 157 million nonelderly Americans were covered by their employers’ insurance plans, about 14 million chose to buy their own insurance, according to the Kaiser Foundation. Most of these people were self-employed or small-business owners, worked for employers who didn’t offer insurance, or couldn’t afford or qualify for their employers’ plans.

Individual insurance plans can be expensive. According to Kaiser Family Foundation figures, a family of four that earns $46,850 — a total of twice the poverty level projected for 2014 — will pay $12,130, or 26 percent of their income in insurance premiums if the primary policyholder is 40 years old.

For a 40-year-old person earning $34,516, or three times the poverty level for individuals, insurance premiums will cost $4,500, or 13 percent of his or her pay.

Starting in 2014, the Affordable Care Act will place limits on the amount that individuals and families have to contribute based on a sliding scale. In the previous examples, the family of four would pay $2,952, or 6.3 percent of their income, with the government paying the remaining $9,178. The single 40-year-old would pay $3,279, which represents 9.5 percent of income, with the government paying the additional $1,221.

Individuals and families who earned up to 138 percent of the poverty level ($15,877 and $32,326 respectively) in 2014 would have their entire premiums covered. The caps on percentage of income that individuals and families must pay gradually increase from 3 to 4 percent for incomes up to 1½ times the poverty level, 4 to 6.3 percent for incomes up to two times the poverty level, 6.3 to 9.5 percent for incomes up to three times the poverty level and 9.5 percent for incomes between three and four times the poverty level.

Henry J. Aaron, a health care expert and senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, said it can be harder for companies and insurance

if they declare themselves Republicans for the purpose of voting. Romney called the effort a “dirty trick” in a Fox News interview Monday night, but Santorum defended the “robocall” as positive and told the network that the calls were part of an effort to attract Democratic voters he would need in a general election.

The ubiquitous polls showed a close race in Michigan, where Romney was born and won a primary in his first bid for the White House four years ago. Santorum surged unexpectedly into contention two weeks ago, benefiting from caucus victories in Minnesota and Colorado and stressing unflinching conservative views on social issues.

No matter the winner, the two men stand to split the 30 delegates at stake.

By contrast, Romney is favored to capture Arizona and all 29 delegates in the night’s other primary. There, the campaigning has been scarce and the television commercials ever scarcer, sure signs that Romney’s rivals have scant hope of an upset.

providers to cover sparsely populated rural areas. The wellpopulated coastal regions tend to have higher percentages of people with health insurance, he said.

“Those with substantial insurance coverage through work or other means are also thickly concentrated in what would have once been called the Rust Belt, areas that are heavily unionized,” Aaron said. “It’s just harder to run an insurance plan where you have five people per square mile than it is where you have 500 per square mile, or 5,000.”

There’s no guarantee that the portions of the Affordable Care Act scheduled to go into effect in 2014 will go off as planned, he said. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on the law’s constitutionality next month, and Congress could still vote to repeal it, he said.

“At some point in another 18 months, those issues, while not entirely settled, are going to become much less red hot (politically),” Aaron said. “At that point, I would expect that what one might call normal politics of self-interest are going to reassert themselves,” meaning that the public would begin to care more about how the law affects them individually than whether their political party supports or opposes the law.

Generally, members of Congress support policies that help their home districts, he said.

“After the political wars have not ended but at least receded, members of Congress are going to take a look at how their districts do. And if they do well, they’re going to fight hard to keep what they’ve got,” Aaron said.

Joe Antos, a health policy expert at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute, said the Kaiser analysis is “an obvious attempt to claim that Republicans will somehow gain more, so why are they complaining about the Affordable Care Act?” The analysis assumes that the provisions of the law will be implemented smoothly, without any unforeseen difficulties, that might arise and hurt cost-saving estimates, he said.

“Well, baloney. People will not save vast amounts of money; it will be more than one-stop shopping for many people, and problems will persist,” Antos said. “The real world involves complications, confusions, mistakes, and reactions from employers, insurers and individuals that were unanticipated.”

The Affordable Care Act represents a massive transfer of wealth from one group of people to another, he said.

The law’s supporters believe it is needed to protect people from things they can’t understand, while its opponents think that point of view grossly underestimates people’s ability to make up their own minds, Antos said.

“The big issue is not whether people should have health insurance,” he said. “The issue is should decisions about health care be made in Washington, or should they be made between you and your doctor?”

Carrier Continued from A1 The shared cruise pointed to how pride in service and deep stress can become entwined in military life. The sailors on the Stennis see themselves as one of the United States’ premier military units. But they realize that their ship is something else.

It is also a globe-roaming office that separates families for months on end, carrying young women and men to war while saddling parents, partners and children with loneliness and strain.

Now they were almost back. As Aidan fell into his father’s embrace, nearly 1,100 relatives of other sailors were streaming through Honolulu.

Soon they all boarded the Stennis at a pier in Pearl Harbor for the weeklong crossing of the Pacific to San Diego, through rough seas and stiff winds.

Known as a Tiger Cruise, such journeys are a quiet staple of the Navy, a variation on the meet-your-returningsailor-in-port homecomings.

On the Stennis, with relatives packed from bow to stern, the ship sailed from the warmth and aqua-green blue of Oahu into rough weather. As the days passed, the guests were offered continual tours of the ship’s spaces and lessons on how sailors work, from the rules for prisoners in the brig to the activities in the space beneath the waves where bombs are stored and assembled.

The ship provided daytime sports and evening blues concerts in the hangar bay, an air show on the second day out of Hawaii and, one night, a dinner of steak and lobster as the carrier rose and fell on the sea.

As the ship closed the distance to the mainland, flying fish broke the surface and glided downwind, escaping the path of the bow.

Those who have sailed on such cruises say they are adventures and become shared moments in families’ lives that are often remembered for decades. Those who organize them say something more important happens. Families that have been separated become reacquainted and begin to sort through the rough rhythms of returning home.

Saturday evening, on the bridge of the Stennis, whose home port is Bremerton, Wash., the ship’s commanding officer, Capt. Ronald Reis, talked children through what he does from his captain’s chair. He explained the instrumentation. He allowed two boys to steer the massive vessel through 10 degree turns. He explained the radar images on a screen in front of his chair.

He discussed how the ship and its aircraft can fight. And he discussed the dangers on the deck below, where memSelf Referrals Welcome

Two young guests aboard the John C. Stennis spar with a sailor in a padded suit during shipboard recreation, as part of what’s known as a Tiger Cruise, from Hawaii to San Diego. The carrier, near the end of a six-month deployment, had more than 1,000 family members aboard for the last leg home.

bers of his crew were moving aircraft, readying for flights the next day. He pointed to a digital anemometer. The bridge was swept by winds blowing across the bow at 46 knots. The seas were gray and lumpy, and they surged with bright white spay.

“We are worried about the sailors down there,” he said.

As the boys left, he spoke of a larger set of thoughts behind these at-sea reunions. “Let the healing begin,” he said.

Throughout the trip, the ship’s work continued. Family members were offered the chance to work alongside the crew, observing watches and helping in the morning cleaning of the ship. Each day gave way to exhaustion, a result of the rocking ship and roundthe-clock work.

“There were parents yesterday sleeping on the mess decks, because they were so worn out,” said Chris Cation, the civilian who organized the cruise. (The guests aboard the carrier were luckier than those on the smaller destroyers and the cruiser accompanying the massive ship. The carrier rolled and swayed, but the little ships pitched, plunged and heaved in the big seas, sometimes even bury-

ing their bows. More than 75 percent of their guests were seasick, one officer said.)

One senior officer said these experiences can lead to insights in a sailor’s family that can alleviate strain in future deployments. “It gives a better idea of what Mom or Dad does out here,” he said.

The cruise comes with strict rules and potential risks.

To prevent tension or undue distraction, sailors can invite only guests with whom they have no intimate relations.

Children and parents of sailors crowd the vessels; spouses are not allowed. (Many spouses did accompany children to Hawaii, where they had overnight reunions with their sailors before handing off children for the cruise and flying back to the mainland for the traditional reunion on the piers.)

To guard against the potential for falls on the ship’s many ladderways, guests must be at least 8 years old and pass a medical review before invitations are formalized months in

advance.

Even with the medical screening, Cation and the ship’s senior enlisted sailor, Command Master Chief Stanley Jewett, admitted to living nervously while the guests are aboard. “Probably my worst nightmare is someone falling of the ship,” Jewett said. “Some little 10-year-old kid falls over into 15-foot seas.”

He said he also worries that guests, who are not trained or necessarily as disciplined as the sailors, might smoke in the wrong place or time and ignite jet fuel. For this reason, he had assigned security patrols to gently enforce the rules.

There were few signs, though, of ill behavior. Mostly there was a quiet calm, and scenes of parent-child reverie.

Linda Alvarez, 10, whose father, Chief Warrant Officer Mario Alvarez, is a maintenance supervisor in one the shipboard helicopter squadrons, walked slowly through the hangar bay, describing battling slight dizziness from the sea state and the week’s worth of new experiences.

Her father described the reunion. It was simple. “We cried,” he said. “We hugged and cried.

And I told her how much I miss her and look forward to being home the next few months.”

W B WikiLeaks publishes intel firm’s emails WikiLeaks said Monday that it had begun to expose email correspondence from the global geopolitical analysis firm known as Stratfor, detailing the company’s work for clients.

WikiLeaks did not disclose how it had obtained the emails, but Stratfor acknowledged in December that its data servers had been breached by a group of hackers known as Anonymous. The loose-knit group publicly supports WikiLeaks.

Anonymous posted the names, emails and credit card numbers of thousands of Stratfor subscribers.

Now the contents of the emails are being exposed — 5 million pieces of correspondence in all, spanning seven years, WikiLeaks said.

Thai police arrest 3 Iranians tied to plot BANGKOK — Thai police said Monday that they have arrested three Iranians who were in contact with suspects detained after a bombing this month in Bangkok that may have been part of a campaign to target Israeli diplomats.

The three suspects were charged with overstaying their visas and are being investigated for links to the Feb. 14 incident, police chief Priewphan Damaphong told reporters in Bangkok. Police are holding two Iranians involved in the initial attack, including one who blew his legs off, and seeking the extradition of a third suspect who fled to Malaysia.

The three people arrested Sunday “were in contact with the Iranian suspects detained earlier but there is no evidence yet that they were involved with the bomb plot,” Priewphan said. “It is under investigation.”

Fire leaves cruise ship adrift off Seychelles NAIROBI, Kenya — An Italian cruise liner carrying more than 1,000 people was adrift without power in the pirate-infested Indian Ocean on Monday after a fire erupted in its generator room. The blaze, which was extinguished, caused no injuries, officials said.

Two tug boats from the island nation of Seychelles were steaming toward the drifting Costa Allegra, which had 636 passengers and 413 crew members on board, but they were not expected to arrive until this afternoon at the earliest.

Carnival halts jungle tour after robbery Carnival Cruise Lines says it has suspended a guided nature hike in the jungle near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, after 22 guests were robbed by hooded gunmen.

Mexican media said the gunmen intercepted the tourists’ bus as it returned from the pueblo of El Nogalito, known for its trail through the jungle, featuring a waterfall, heavy forest canopy and tropical wildlife such as parrots and iguanas.

The gunmen boarded the bus about 5 p.m. Thursday and took cameras, money, watches and other valuable items, according to the newspapers El Norte and La Jornada. The gunmen then fled toward the hilly countryside.

Israel seeks to avoid evacuation tussle JERUSALEM — With negotiations apparently at an impasse, the government launched a lastditch effort Monday to avoid a confrontation over the courtordered evacuation of Jewish settlers living in the West Bank outpost of Migron.

Israeli lawmaker Benny Begin, who has been leading government efforts to resolve the issue, held a news conference to urge the families to accept the government’s offer to relocate them.

“After long months of talks, my hope is that the residents of Migron will agree to what is proposed so that we can put the final touches on the wording in the next day or two and approach the court,” Begin said.

Supporters of the settlers protested outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence, demanding that he intervene to settle the final issues dividing the two sides.

Fresh death reports as Syria says new constitution passes

By Hannah Allam McClatchy Newspapers

BEIRUT — Amid reports of fresh atrocities in the besieged city of Homs, the Syrian government said Monday that an overwhelming majority of voters — 89 percent — had approved a new constitution that is billed as President Bashar Assad’s most serious concession yet in the nearly year-old uprising against his rule.

Opposition activists, backed by the Free Syrian Army guerrilla movement, rejected the results and vowed to continue their fight to end the Assad dynasty’s four-decade hold on the country. They renewed their calls for foreign assistance such as weapons and “safe zones” along the borders, saying that the bloodshed of the past year renders moot any more regime promises of reform.

The results, however, bolstered Assad’s support from China and Russia, the two nations that had vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution earlier this month that called for new sanctions on Assad.

“The referendum has confirmed that the course for change is supported by the people,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Russia holds firm on Syria position MOSCOW — In the face of increasingly harsh criticism from the West, Russia is holding firm in its opposition to international intervention in Syria, warning the U.S. and other nations against any temptation to resort to actions like the NATO airstrikes in Libya that helped topple Moammar Gadhafi.

“I strongly hope that the United States and other nations will learn from the sad experience and won’t try to resort to a forceful scenario in Syria,” Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wrote in a foreign policy article published Monday in the Moscow News. “I can’t understand that bellicose itch.”

That determination has several roots: Syria is Russia’s last remaining ally in the Middle East and the regime of President Bashar Assad is a major customer for Russian arms; Moscow harbors longstanding suspicions that Washington and the West aim for international hegemony; and the Kremlin has a displayed consistent disdain for protest movements.

The number of unemployed Oregonians for every job vacancy declined in recent months, according to survey results the Oregon Employment Department released Monday.

There were 176,400 people in the state without a job and 30,384 vacancies in October, which equates to 5.8 people per open job, the state agency said in a news release. The rate in fall of 2010 was slightly higher, at 6.5.

In spring of 2008, the statewide rate was 2.2, Charlie Johnson, the department’s senior economic analyst, wrote in an email.

The rate nationally is now 4.2, according to the news release.

In Oregon, health care and social assistance industries had the most openings, October’s survey results show.

The average wage per vacancy was $16.58 per hour. Jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree paid an average of $28.05 per hour.

Mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration — which allows a smaller down payment and has less stringent credit requirements than traditional mortgages — are about to get a bit more expensive.

But whether the higher costs will dampen demand for these mortgages remains to be seen, experts say, since many borrowers have nowhere else to turn.

The agency announced Monday that it would increase two types of fees borrowers must pay. The goal, it said, is to help shore up its reserves, which had fallen sharply in the midst

of the housing crisis, and to encourage private lenders to wade back into the stillstruggling market.

More prospective home buyers have been turning to the FHA as other lenders tightened their requirements after the real estate market collapse in 2008. The agency does not make loans but insures mortgages that meet its guidelines: People with credit scores of 580 or more can put down as little as 3.5 percent. As a result, the number of mortgages backed by the FHA has ballooned, accounting for 40 percent of all new purchase mortgages in 2010, up from 4.5 percent in 2005, agency figures show.

Pending home sales increase

By Elon Glucklich

More Americans than forecast signed contracts to buy previously owned homes in January, indicating the industry that sparked the last recession is improving.

The index of pending home resales climbed 2 percent after a 1.9 percent decrease the prior month, the National Association of Realtors said Monday.

In 13 years, Advisory Services and Investments has offered financial consulting for health care providers, manufacturers, auto dealers, tribal organizations and more across Oregon and Washington.

The Bend-based wealth management provider has weathered a pair of major market downturns, while building a regional reputation for one-on-one, personal consultation.

Fewer jobless per job opening

A federal class-action lawsuit brought last year by a consortium of farmers against the agricultural and chemical company Monsanto was dismissed Monday

by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald of Federal District Court.

The plaintiffs, none of whom use Monsanto’s products, are seeking to have the company’s agricultural patents invalidated. They said they were concerned that Monsanto would sue them if the company’s patented strains of soybeans, corn or alfalfa, which make up a majority of American crops, appeared in their fields.

In Monday’s ruling, the judge said the farmers consortium, the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, had no standing to bring such a suit, had not been harmed by the company, and had engaged in “a transparent effort to create a controversy where none exists.”

tween a pair of Northwest financial advisers today boasts more than $1 billion in assets under management, having passed that mark earlier this month.

Advisers with more than $100 million in management are required to register with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. ASI, which employs eight financial

advisers, is one of six advisement companies in Bend registered with the SEC, according to the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities.

Founder and managing director Randy Miller, under the guidance of co-worker Roger Fisher, began recruiting former clients from his days with the Seattle-based Crabbe Huson Group and Copper Mountain Financial Group, to bring their wealth to ASI for management and counseling. The firm has 144 clients, including Asante Health System, Beaverton Foods, The Bulletin, Pike Place Market, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and Robberson Ford.

Google, I wish I knew how to quit you.

That’s the frustration felt

by Patience O’Connor, who has put much of her sensitive personal and professional information on Gmail and other Google services and does not want the company to use that data to create a detailed profile of her.

O’Connor said she’s overwhelmed by the thought of starting over with a new email provider, transferring her contacts and combing through thousands of messages to retrieve family pictures and legal documents.

That’s what Google and other Web firms are counting on as they tap consum-

ers for more information about their lives, analysts say. Once you’re hooked on one service, it’s hard to switch.

“This is a really hairy choice for me. I’m just really hoping Google changes its mind,” said the 65-year-old city planner, who lives in Washington, D.C. On Thursday, Google plans to begin creating far more comprehensive profiles of its users by following their activities across the company’s Web sites. From videos watched on YouTube to the terms typed in a Google search, tracking such behaviors will enable the firm to sell ads better suited to its customers’ tastes.

Report: Changes needed to sustain growth in China

By Keith B. Richburg The Washington Post

BEIJING — China will face increasing challenges to sustain growth over the next two decades without substantial, structural changes to its economy, financial system and society, according to a voluminous new report that was presented here Monday afternoon jointly by the World Bank and one of China’s main government research units.

The report, called “China

2030,” lays out a comprehensive blueprint for how China needs to restructure itself as the country shifts to high-income status.

Specifically, the report says China must reduce the power of the state-owned enterprises, allow more competition in the banking and financial systems, give more support to innovation and allow greater mobility of its population by easing current residency restrictions.

Once film-focused, Netflix transitions to TV shows

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

Belying the “flix” in its name, Netflix is now primarily an Internet streaming service for television shows, not feature films.

TV series now account for more than half of all Netflix viewing. That helps to explain why this Wednesday — the longawaited moment when motion picture classics like “Scarface” and newer hits like “Toy Story 3” will vanish from the streaming service — is not the doomsday that it was once expected to be.

The vanishing films are from Starz.

Its 3.5-year-old deal helped Netflix persuade millions of people to sign up for

Internet streaming, hastening the company’s leap to digital distribution from physical DVDs. It became clear about a year ago that the deal would not be renewed.

By then, though, Netflix was bulking up on old TV episodes and beginning to distribute its own original shows for the streaming service.

Analysts say the prioritizing of television partly explains why the company has been able to retain about 21.7 million streaming subscribers in the United States — totaling 1 in 4 households that have broadband — despite complaints about its movie selection.

Continued from B1 How to guarantee that wealth is passed down to future generations?

Miller has sought answers to these questions and more for large institutions and individual investors alike.

The business today offers financial consultation for customers in Bend, Medford, Portland and Seattle. The independent investment company works with corporate and private clients throughout the Pacific Northwest to develop investment plans, find the best stocks and bonds to trade, sort through tax filings and charitable giving records, set up trust funds and maximize net worth.

The market downturn of the early 2000s — brought on by the bursting of the dot-com bubble — and the Great Recession of 2007-09 have heightened the need for education and helping clients navigate financial dangers and investment pitfalls.

Miller said his company is in prime position to keep doing just that, as the economy gears up on its slow slog to-

What has your strategy Q: been for growing the business?

Most of the growth has A: come internally. We certainly did pick up some

FHA Continued from B1 “We want to be there for the marketplace as it is needed, but we are also trying to step back some and encourage the return of private capital,” Carol Galante, acting FHA commissioner, said in announcing the increases.

The agency’s cash reserves have shrunk because of a sharp rise in borrower defaults, which raised concerns late last year that the FHA could require a bailout if the market deteriorated further.

But officials said the increase in borrower fees would bring in about $1.25 billion during the rest of 2012 and through September 2013. The agency also expects to collect about $1 billion from the $26 billion settlement among 49 attorneys general, the Obama administration and the five biggest mortgage servicers.

Taken together, officials said, that would put the agency on stronger financial footing.

In its announcement, the FHA said it would increase its annual mortgage insurance premium by 0.10 of a percentage point for loans less than $625,500, which would

of our old clients over the years (from Miller’s days with Crabbe Huson Group). But the primary way we’ve grown the business is by taking great care of our existing clients. If you take good care of them, they tend to refer their friends and neighbors to you. We’ve always felt that the best way to grow the business is to not lose clients, and you do that by doing the right thing for your clients.

How has your work Q: been impacted by the financial downturn?

I really think it’s been an A: incredibly challenging decade. The last 10 years have seen two of the worst markets in history.

But the agency also said it planned to raise another fee, known as the upfront mortgage premium, by 0.75 of a percentage point, bringing the premium to 1.75 percent of the loan amount, which can be rolled into the mortgage.

‘The only game in town’ “Generally speaking, increases in the FHA premiums — even sizable ones like this — won’t reduce the popularity of the program since it’s still the only game in town with a 3.5 percent down payment requirement,” said Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance, a trade publication. “Add in the fact that FHA’s underwriting is a little looser than what you can find with privately insured low-down-payment programs with Fannie/Freddie and a lot of borrowers will continue to

We’re constantly revisiting our business model, looking at what we’re doing and in what ways we can add value to our business relations.

Over the last five years, our clients have benefited from our partnerships with professionals in each marketplace, from estate attorneys, tax planners, CPAs … to let us provide a second opinion for our clients. We can look at a client’s unique situation, talk about what’s important for them to try and achieve. We talk to these anonymous outside experts a couple times a year. We’re trying to make sure all our i’s are dotted and our t’s are crossed.

use FHA,” referring to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government-controlled entities that account for a majority of mortgages.

Consider a borrower who wants to buy a home for $200,000 with a down payment of 3.5 percent, resulting in a mortgage of $193,000.

Under the new rules, the borrower’s upfront mortgage premium would increase to about $3,377 from $1,930, which most people would wrap into the total mortgage amount.

So taken together, both the upfront and annual premium increases would translate to a higher monthly payment of about $25, according to calculations by Kevin Iverson, president of Reed Mortgage in Denver, using a 3.5 percent interest rate.

But borrowers with good credit — say, a credit score of 700 — who can come up with a slightly larger down payment of 5 percent are likely to pay about $44 a month less with a traditional loan backed

by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (assuming an interest rate of 3.875 percent).

“For people who cannot qualify for a conventional, they will still go FHA,” Iver-

son said. “But people who could qualify for both and have the ability and willingness to come up with a little more money, a conventional loan is getting to be a much better deal.”

That, he said, may ultimately cause slightly higherquality borrowers to seek out conventional loans, which, he added, could hurt the FHA. The higher fees will particularly affect first-time home buyers since they often cannot come up with the 20 percent down payment required to qualify for a traditional mortgage and thus must buy mortgage insurance. More than 53 percent of first-time home buyers are going through the FHA’s program, according to a survey of 2,500 real estate brokers for a three-month average ending in December conducted by Inside Mortgage finance and Campbell Surveys. Only about 12 percent of first-time home buyers took out mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie, whereas another 11 percent paid with all cash. The remainder used other financing, through, say, the Veterans Affairs or Agricultural Departments, or private financing.

Netflix Continued from B1 It’s a transition that Netflix has made rather successfully in the past six to 12 months, in stark contrast to its botched plan to spin off DVD-by-mail into a separate company called Qwikster last fall.

While the end of the Starz deal is bad news for Netflix, said Richard Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG Research, “given the significant increase in TV viewing, it’s not the catastrophic event that everyone thought it would be a year ago.”

The new-release movies provided by Starz account for just 2 percent of all viewing, Netflix says, down from 8 percent a year ago — illuminating the fact that the company has spent lavishly on new streaming titles that subscribers want to watch instead. (“I would contend Netflix spends wisely rather than lavishly,” a Netflix spokesman, Steve Swasey, said in response.)

Many of the new titles are full seasons of TV series like “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad” and “Lost” that Netflix executives call “26-hour movies.”

The pivot to TV reruns was necessitated in part by the tightening of the movie spigot by major movie studios. Fearing that Netflix might grow too popular or powerful, the studios “have decided to dramatically raise prices” for films and shows, said Youssef Squali, a managing director for Jefferies & Co. “So in effect, the company is being forced into offering more (older) TV content because it’s cheaper,” he said.

The company’s next challenge is to come up with original shows — instead of reruns — that subscribers will latch onto, mimicking the HBO model. Such a model further distances Netflix from films and differentiates it from newfound competitors like Hulu and Amazon.

Reed Hastings, Netflix’s chief executive, told business school students in Manhattan last week that the company would try a couple of dozen original series in the coming years but did not specify a timeframe; Netflix had previously said that five such series would premiere by the end of 2013.

A show from Norway, “Lilyhammer,” had its U.S. debut on Netflix earlier this month, and an ambitious drama made just for Netflix, “House of Cards,” will have

We’ve had lots of opportunities (as independent financial advisers) over the years to go work for major brokerage houses. But we love our independence. It makes a deliverable difference for our clients. It means we can offer different solutions and strategies, because nobody is dictating what we can do or say.

We’ll continue our education to try and better ourselves as an organization, to know what’s going on in different industries … The biggest thing from our standpoint is that we’re such a client-focused firm. Anything we do starts and ends with the client.

One of the most difficult things in our industry is that the average consumer can’t tell the difference between ASI and Merrill Lynch. Everybody sounds the same and looks the same on paper. But we think when we get the opportunity to meet folks, they can tell quickly that we have a different approach, talking to businesses and getting to know what’s most important to them.

its debut later in the year. A remake of the Fox sitcom “Arrested Development” will come out sometime next year.

“While they are losing the Starz content later this week, and that could cause some people to cancel subscriptions to the service, the library will otherwise be generally improving throughout the year and then having a more significant step up with ‘House of Cards’ in late ’12 and ‘Arrested Development’ and Dreamworks films in ’13,” said Michael Olson, an analyst at Piper Jaffray.

Still, there is a persistent undercurrent of criticism about Netflix’s actual movie selection, and it was highlighted this week by the Starz disappearance. Olson’s firm reported last week that only four of the 50 top-grossing films of 2011 were available for streaming on the service, and that one of them, Disney’s “Gnomeo and Juliet,” would vanish Wednesday.

“The cocktail party conversation in the media world is, the content’s terrible,” Greenfield said. “And yet the average subscriber is devouring over an hour a day, every single day. Obviously they don’t think it’s horrible.” He noted that films did not need to be box-office smashes to succeed on Netflix — in fact, some films have a second life online precisely because they were not widely seen in theaters.

Earlier this month, Netflix secured rights to “The Artist,” which won the best-picture Oscar at the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday.

It has earned just $32 million at the box office to date and will become available on Netflix in less than six months, the company said Monday.

Netflix can also replenish some of the vanishing Starz films by buying them separately. But for now, its rights to “Toy Story 3,” “Tron,” “Tangled,” “A Christmas Carol” and other films are drying up.

Some TV series from Starz are vanishing too, including “Party Down” and “Spartacus,” creating new tests for Netflix’s recommendation algorithms.

Netflix declined to comment on exactly what proportion of total viewing that TV episodes make up, but its executives put the number at 50 to 60 percent last fall.

Greenfield said he suspected that the percentage was 80 percent — an impressive triumph for TV over film.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier said than done, experts say. For the 350 million people using Gmail around the world, moving to a new email program is perhaps more inconvenient than changing a mailing address or a bank account.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;high switching costâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as business parlance calls it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen by accident, analysts say.

When Gmail was launched eight years ago, it quickly supplanted AOL and Hotmail for email. The service was free, storage was virtually unlimited, and it was easy to search for past messages. Gmail became even more useful as the company integrated contact lists, word processing, and live maps and later integrated the services on smartphones.

The business plan was clear: glean information from consumers, sell ads, and keep everything free of charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget, Google is a huge advertising business,â&#x20AC;? said Morgan Reed, executive director of the Association for Competitive Technology, a trade group. Referring to the privacy-policy shift, he added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was coming.â&#x20AC;?

cy policies and providing instructions to users who want to leave. The officials pointed to a team of engineers who created a Web page called the Data Liberation Front, which instructs consumers on how they can export information from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60 services. They noted that users do not have to pay a penalty or break a contract if they exit Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to make sure users have control of their data,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Fitzpatrick, head of Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Data Liberation service.

Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy shift has sparked the concern of lawmakers and consumer groups. They say Google should make the changes optional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of the story of how you boil a frog in lukewarm water. Google may be capturing its consumers in the same way so that consumers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what is happening until they are cooked,â&#x20AC;? said Bert Foer, president of the American Antitrust Institute.

But for Amanda McArthur, of Providence, R.I., the privacy trade-off is worth it.

The 28-year-old has come to expect a personal cost to using Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free services, including Gmail, photo-sharing service Picasa and Google+, the new social network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Google provides us with enough free stuff that if they want to analyze my information for the purpose of creating even better, free products, then so be it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Continued from B1 The report also says China must create â&#x20AC;&#x153;equality of opportunityâ&#x20AC;? and a system that allows citizens and communities to become more involved in decisions that affect their lives, and institutions, including the legal system, must be strengthened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, China relies on a mix of market and nonmarket measures to shape incentives for producers and consumers, and there is a lack of clarity in distinguishing the roles of government, state enterprise, and the private sector,â&#x20AC;? World Bank President Robert Zoellick said in prepared remarks for his speech to announce the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;China needs to resolve these issues.â&#x20AC;?

Zoellick said this study â&#x20AC;&#x201D; conceived 18 months ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;does not simply offer a textbook solutionâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153; stops short of being overly prescriptive.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It offers directions, recognizing that these ideas need further debate within China before the details of precise policies, laws, regulations and

guidelines can be drafted and implemented.â&#x20AC;?

The fact that this was a joint report, co-written by the Development Research Center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the policy think tank of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Council, or cabinet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would seem to lend extra high-level weight to its proposals.

But many of the steps outlined probably would still encounter stiff resistance from Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrenched interests.

Zoellick acknowledged the likely opposition to the proposals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report is realistic,â&#x20AC;? he said in his prepared remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reforms are not easy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they often generate pushback. We have tried to identify obstacles to reform, suggest sequencing and quick wins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; steps that can make reforms easier to implement.â&#x20AC;?

LOCAL BRIEFING Commission OKs food cart rules The Bend Planning Commission unanimously approved Monday a set of rules related to temporary uses in the city, and as a part of that code revision set certain guidelines pertaining to mobile food vendors.

The new rules â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which still must be approved by the Bend City Council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; essentially state that if an existing business wants to share its site with a food vendor, the property owner must meet the same development standards that were previously approved by the city.

This means a vendor canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact the parking spaces a property needs without some sort of mitigation. It also means a vendor canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be located somewhere that could make it a potential hazard, such as blocking sight lines at an intersection.

While officials said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the rules to be onerous for developed sites, they admitted the new rules will likely cost property owners more if a vendor stays on an undeveloped piece of land.

This is because undeveloped land will have to undergo a more thorough planning review that might require the installation of paved parking spaces, landscaping or storm water mitigation.

Stove cause of Bend garage fire A fire that broke out in a detached garage in Deschutes River Woods on Monday morning caused $20,000 in damage, the Bend Fire Department said.

Fire crews responded to the report of a garage fire on Apache Road at around 10:30 a.m. The family in a nearby home was evacuated, and the blaze was extinguished by fire crews.

It was later determined that a pile of wood had been placed directly next to a woodburning stove in the garage and had ignited.

CRAIGSLIST CONTRACTORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FIGHT WITH LANDSCAPING BOARD

Waving the white flag, pursuing other options â&#x20AC;˘ Phillips dropped the issue when his contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license was threatened

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A

Redmond man who ran afoul of the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board last year has dropped his fight against the state agency after being threatened with the loss of his construction contractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; license.

Roger Phillips, 65, got caught up with the Landscape Contractors Board last June, when he posted an ad on the Bend Craigslist site offering to do handyman and construction work. Phillips claimed he could fix a malfunctioning sprinkler head or perform minor irrigation repairs, among other tasks, landing himself in trouble with the board for advertising without a license.

Under Oregon law, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal to advertise oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to do most landscape work outside of basic maintenance without a license issued by the board. Someone like Phillips, who does not hold a landscape contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, can perform the work for pay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; provided itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited and provided he did not advertise the service.

Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ad did not bring any job offers, but it did attract the attention of the board, which levied a $500 fine against him.

Bend water wins regional award The city of Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking water took first prize at the annual Best Tasting Water Contest, beating out 12 other water utilities.

The contest was held by the Pacific Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cascade to Coast subsection of the American Water Works Association on Feb. 16 in Eugene.

As winner of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest, Bend is eligible to compete for the Pacific Northwest Section title in Yakima, Wash., in May. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bulletin staff reports

The board and Phillips went back and forth for months, with the board at one point offering to reduce the fine to $125 in recognition of Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tight financial circumstances. Still certain he had not violated the law, Phillips resisted paying the fine, and the matter was turned over to a collec-

tion agency.

In January, the state Construction Contractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Board waded in.

In a letter sent to Phillips, the board stated it would revoke his CCB license to perform general construction if he did not pay the fine owed to the Landscape Contractors Board.

Phillips calls the threat by the CCB â&#x20AC;&#x153;extortion,â&#x20AC;? but he agreed to pay up just the same. A contractor for more than 30 years, Phillips said losing his license would threaten his ability to make a living, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel he had any choice but to pay.

He said he has yet to receive an adequate explanation about why one independent board should be able to intervene in the affairs of a separate, ostensibly independent board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have this cross-connection, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they should have this cross-connection,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are they going to do, take your driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license next?â&#x20AC;?

Representatives of the CCB did not return a call seeking comment.

On Friday, Phillips made the first of 13 scheduled monthly payments of $50 to the collection agency.

THE ISSUE

THE LATEST

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEXT

The couple, accused of defrauding investors of millions through their real estate business between 2004 and 2009, face a litany of federal charges.

Tami Sawyer also faces state charges, including theft, in a separate estate trustee case, but prosecutors have repeatedly pushed back court dates to allow the federal case to proceed.

The Sawyers are scheduled to go to trial in federal court on April 30; Tami Sawyer is expected to enter a plea to state charges on May 21.

The former COCC instructor is accused of raping two young women in 2011.

Bray, arrested a year ago, posted bail and moved to Portland, where he has been under electronic monitoring. One of the women has also filed a civil suit against Bray.

No trial date is scheduled; the next hearing is scheduled for March 12. A pretrial hearing in the civil suit is set for April 11.

Biedscheid, who is director of accounting at Les Schwab Tire Centers, is accused of killing a bicyclist in a 2011 hit-and-run.

Settlement talks with Deschutes County prosecutors failed in September, and a January trial was pushed back. Also delayed is a civil suit by the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister.

The criminal trial is now scheduled for May 15. The civil suit is expected to go to trial in October.

The CEO and co-founder of the defunct Bend company, Tyler Fitzsimons, is among 13 people accused of conspiring to defraud half a dozen financial institutions.

Fitzsimons pleaded guilty last week to mortgage and loan fraud charges. (Six people have already pleaded guilty to the charges against them; some are in prison. Another defendant, John Partin, was seeking to settle his case.)

Fitzsimons is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 9. The five remaining defendants are scheduled to go to trial Sept. 5.

LA PINE WATER DISTRICT

$400 settles ethics case

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission approved a settlement Friday with former La Pine Water District Commissioner BarbeAnn Nelson-Dodson, who violated state laws by using a public office for personal gain.

In the stipulated final order approved Friday, Nelson-Dodson admitted she broke state laws when she used district employees and equipment to bury her dog in 2009, and when she participated in several official discussions about her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job at the district during the same year.

As part of the settlement, Nelson-Dodson agreed to pay a $400 civil penalty, much less than the penalty of up to $20,000 allowed by state law for these violations. However, it is more than the $150 civil penalty Nelson-Dodson was prepared to pay in November to settle the case. The ethics commission deadlocked over that settlement proposal.

School board OKs transfer policy, with some limits

By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

MADRAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Jefferson County School Board on Monday unanimously approved a new policy for accepting students from outside the district.

The policy is spurred by a new state law aimed at giving parents and students more flexibility to transfer to schools and districts of their choice. Starting next school year, districts cannot prevent students from transferring to other districts.

But they can put limits on how many students they accept from other districts based on the number of students in class grades or school buildings.

Methane harvesting critic to address Knott Landfill plan

By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

When David Poboisk first heard that Deschutes County was considering boosting the amount of methane gas coming from Knott Landfill, he wondered if it would do anything to the groundwater he and his neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who live close by â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pour out of their taps.

The county has reassured him that its plan to allow Irvine, Calif.-based Waste to Energy Group LLC to push steam through the landfill to accelerate methane production wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the water.

But Poboisk still has questions about safety, noise and pollution.

As part of his ongoing search for answers to these questions, he has invited a critic of the process to town.

The ethics commission found that in these instances, NelsonDodson failed to recuse herself from discussions about a temporary job held by daughter Rachel Dodson, who no longer works for the districts. NelsonDodson has another daughter, Ashley Williams, who still works as an administrative assistant for the water and sewer districts. An ethics commission investigator who reviewed minutes of the meetings found it appeared Nelson-Dodson recused

herself from 2008 discussions about Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job.

Nelson-Dodson did eventually pay for the burial of her 15year-old Labrador, Jumpy. In January 2011, she asked during a board meeting to be invoiced $35 for the use of a backhoe, according to the stipulated order approved on Friday.

Nelson-Dodson is also currently serving 24 months of probation for second-degree theft.

She was sentenced in October and agreed to repay $39,684 she took from her friend Margot Gaddis while Gaddis was serving 10 months in prison in 2010 for felony DUII and attempted arson. Nelson-Dodson pleaded no contest to the theft in late September.

Methane Continued from C1 Mike Ewall, co-director of the Energy Justice Network, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit group, will be in Bend today and Wednesday to speak about the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considerations for the landfill. He said speeding up methane production at the landfill wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as environmentally friendly as the backers of the idea claim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It causes more (methane) to escape and more to escape sooner,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Currently, a collection system at Knott Landfill corrals most of the methane produced by decaying organic material and fuels a continuously burning flame. Burning methane, which is a greenhouse gas, releases carbon dioxide. While carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as strong as methane.

For years, county leaders have talked about whether they could make money by utilizing methane at the landfill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going up in smoke,â&#x20AC;? said Timm Schimke, director of Deschutes Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Solid Waste.

Last August, county leaders said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering signing a 20-year contract with Waste to Energy. The company would invest $15 million to $20 million to build a system that pushes steam through Knott Landfill, speeding up the methane production at the landfill. Waste is slow to break down in Central Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry climate, Schimke said. The methane would then be purified before being sent to California via a natural gas pipeline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; methane is the main ingredient for natural gas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that passes under part of the landfill property.

While he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much methane would be pro-

duced or how much Waste to Energy would sell it for, Schimke said the county would likely make about $250,000 from the company.

While he said Waste to Energy has set up similar systems for counties in other states, L. Randal Lutz, CEO of Waste to Energy, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how many or where.

He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting to hear back from Deschutes County on whether it wants to go ahead with the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve presented a way for them to environmentally clean up the landfill,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Poboisk, 56, shares a well with 13 neighbors as part of the Turner Water well group and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undecided on whether to support Waste to Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for the landfill or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all sounds too good to be true,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it might be.â&#x20AC;?

He is hopeful the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership will thoroughly look into the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans before signing a contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them to know if they go forward with it, people will be watching,â&#x20AC;? Poboisk said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarling@bendbulletin.com

SALMON HABITAT RESTORATION

By Emily Fuggetta The Oregonian

The Associated Press file photo

The J.C. Boyle Dam on the Klamath River is pictured near Keno. With no authorizing legislation in Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar won’t be deciding next month whether to go ahead with removal of dams on the Klamath River to help salmon.

Decision is delayed on Klamath dams removal

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

With no authorization from Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Monday that he won’t be able to meet next month’s deadline for deciding whether to remove four dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and California to help salmon and set up an agreement for sharing water between fish and farms.

Salazar said in a statement that work will continue on scientific studies, as will efforts to get authorization through Congress.

Dam removal is part of the agreements signed in the Oregon Capitol two years ago to end a century of fighting over water in the Klamath Basin. They set March 31 as the deadline for the secretary of Interior to decide whether to go ahead with dam removal, which is tentatively set to begin in 2020.

Besides laying out terms for removing the dams, which provide power for 70,000 customers of the utility PacifiCorp, the agreements lay out how water will be shared between irrigators and fish in times of scarcity.

A bill authorizing Salazar to make the decision, as well

“We understood when the legislation was introduced that the deadline for a secretarial determination — set several years ago — would need to be postponed to give Congress time to act.”

— Julie Edwards, spokeswoman for Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.

as spend $800 million on environmental restoration, was introduced last year in both the House and Senate, but has not received a committee hearing.

“We understood when the legislation was introduced that the deadline for a secretarial determination — set several years ago — would need to be postponed to give Congress time to act,” Julie Edwards, spokeswoman for Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said in an email.

If dam removal fails, PacifiCorp would again be faced with making major improvements to the dams to make

them more fish friendly to qualify for a new operating license.

PacifiCorp spokesman Bob Gravely said they were not surprised to see the deadline missed, and remained committed to the agreement as the best solution for their customers.

With the prospects of drought looming, farmers on a federal irrigation project and the Karuk Tribe called on Congress to hold hearings on the bills.

“Agriculture is a business and we can’t operate effectively without clear and more predictable water deliveries,” Klamath Water Users Association director Greg Addington said in a statement.

“It is in no way the end of the road for us,” said Craig Tucker, Klamath campaign director for the Karuk Tribe.

“It’s a bump in the road for us.

The need for these agreements is underscored by the looming droughts we are facing this year.”

A draft report released in January by Interior says removing four of the dams will restore salmon and sustain irrigation for farmers in Southern Oregon and Northern California.

Dalles man accused of shooting brother

County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the threat.

THE DALLES — An 18year-old man faces first-degree manslaughter charges in connection with the fatal shooting of his younger brother.

Wasco County District Attorney Eric Nisley says Daniel Hammond did not intentionally kill his 15-year-old brother, but he did act recklessly.

Michael Hammond was found dead in an upstairs bedroom in their family home in The Dalles early Sunday. He was a student at The DallesWhatonka High School.

KGW-TV reports that Daniel Hammond appeared in court Monday. His bail was set at $250,000.

Hoarding may have led to Portland fire

Threat prompts closure at college SALEM — A shooting threat forced officials to close a building on the Salem campus of Chemeketa Community College on Monday.

A voicemail at Chemeketa’s administration line was brief and pointed: “Please stay away from Building 9.”

According to the school’s website, Building 9 was evacuated shortly before 8:30 a.m. and all classes there were cancelled. Employees who work in the building were asked to contact their supervisors, according to an update.

Other Salem campus buildings remained open, however, and classes were operating as normal.

Deputies from the Marion

PORTLAND — Fire investigators believe that excessive debris inside a North Portland home could have contributed to a fire that burned the homeowner as he rescued his dog.

The fire was reported shortly after 1 a.m. Firefighters arrived to find the house engulfed in flames.

The homeowner, John Shideler, was outside his house with burns to his hands, arms and face when firefighters arrived. Shideler is in serious condition with burns to his arms and face.

He had gone back into the home to rescue Cleo, his German shepherd-mix dog. Firefighters treated Cleo with a petoxygen mask. A neighbor took Cleo to a pet hospital where she is in stable condition.

Investigators noted many extension cords that ran through the home, as well as the clutter, but could not pinpoint the cause of the fire, which has been classified as undetermined.

The fire bureau said excessive debris can give a fire a large quantity of fuel to burn and that piles can reduce or block emergency exits.

Ashland filmmaker revels in ‘Rango’ win ASHLAND — An Ashland filmmaker found himself basking in the limelight Sunday

night when a movie named “Rango,” about a lizard stranded in the Mojave Desert, nabbed the Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature Film.

Gary Kout, who was production supervisor on the set, was sitting in his Ashland home when he got the news.

The film stars Johnny Depp and is directed by Gore Verbinski.

“I think the monthlong process of working directly with the actors made all the difference,” 44-year-old Kout said on Sunday night. Other animated movies attempt to capture the movements of characters, but “Rango” captured the emotions, he said.

The actors played out their scenes together, rather than separately. Animators then created images based on the emotional responses of the characters, Kout said.

“Rango” competed against other popular movies that include “Kung Fu Panda 2,” “Puss in Boots,” “Chico and Rita” and “A Cat in Paris.”

Kout said it was a departure for him to take on the “Rango” project because he normally produces independent projects such as “Conversations with God,” “My Name is Bruce,” “Calvin Marshall” and “Walk-In.” Kout said he was chosen as production supervisor based on his experience keeping budgets low and sticking to tight production schedules for independent movies. “I’m used to making movies in a short period of time,” he said.

DAMASCUS — City Manager Dan O’Dell will retire in June, and the city has enlisted a recruitment agency to find his replacement.

O’Dell, who was appointed interim city manager last March then city manager in April after serving as the city’s finance director for five years, said his decision to step down was based on his readiness to retire and a feeling that he had done what he could for the city.

“I wanted to give it my best shot moving the city forward,” he said. “I just came to the personal decision that its best for not only me but the city that someone else steps into the position.”

The next city manager will be given what O’Dell called a monumental task — moving Damascus through the process of creating a comprehensive plan.

“Damascus presents a unique challenge for someone,” O’Dell said of the city’s inability since its incorporation to agree on a comprehensive plan. “It’s not been easy around here.”

But, he said, the city’s state of uncertainty could attract someone with the ambition to help build it.

“It’s basically a blank

slate. There are people out there who are excited over that kind of opportunity,” O’Dell said. “For some people, that motivates them.”

Mayor Steve Spinnett echoed the idea.

“We want to have a manager that recognizes the adventure of building a new city and sees that as something incredible,” Spinnett said. “I think that person’s out there.”

Spinnett also said it would be important to find someone with the right temperament.

“You have to be thickskinned,” he said. “We have some bullies in the community.”

The city has budgeted up to $25,000 for the recruitment by Waldron, a human resources company with an office in Portland.

O’Dell said the firm will launch a national recruitment and expects at least 50-75 people to apply for the position, which the Damascus 2011-12 budget estimates will pay $120,357 plus benefits.

The pool will narrow to two or three candidates, who will then be interviewed and selected by the City Council.

Hopefully, O’Dell said, a new manager will be selected by the end of June, but he’ll stay until his replacement is chosen.

“I’m not going to leave the city high and dry,” he said.

Change needed for trap rules

W

hen Terri Daniels, a Sisters spiritual teacher, heard about Jack Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog getting caught in a trap, she was shocked. She walks

with her dog on many area trails all the time and was totally unaware of the danger.

So she used an Internet search to find the West Linn resident and ask how she could help. Soon the self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggressive networkerâ&#x20AC;? was sending emails and posting to Facebook sites, and seeing messages coming back from around the world.

Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog, Kieri, was caught in a trap on Feb. 11 in the area near the Wizard Falls fish hatchery along the Metolius River.

He launched a website and has added a petition seeking changes in Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trapping rules (www.kieri .org/friends-of-kieri-petition). As of Monday morning, there were 427 signatures. He is seeking 35,000.

The issue has caught many Central Oregonians by surprise.

Although trapping has been going on for years, many of the growing number of hikers on public lands had no idea. Steven George, a biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said a half-dozen dogs have been reported trapped in Central Oregon in the last 11 weeks. Most years, he said, one or two cases are reported in the whole trapping season from November to March. George and others said possible reasons for the

spike include low snowfall, bringing more hikers onto state lands.

They also said high gas prices could be discouraging trappers from going farther out of town, and inexperienced trappers may be trying the sport.

Current regulations allow traps to be set near trails with no flagging or signs required.

Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition seeks to require trappers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;conspicuously mark the locations of all traps set on public land, and to classify the willful disregard of this regulation as a Class 1 misdemeanor.â&#x20AC;? He said he would seek a ballot initiative or a meeting with state Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend.

Changes could also be made at the regulatory level. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission revisits trapping rules every two years. The group meets June 7 and 8 this year in Salem, and Williamson is looking into participating in the public forum.

Clearly, changes are needed to balance the needs of competing interests on public land. Williamson has done well to launch a constructive and respectful approach to finding a solution.

Lawmakers likely to clarify dog rules

M

ore than 30 years after statewide land use planning became the name of the game in Oregon, questions about what it means continue to come up. House Bill 4170 is an attempt to answer at least one of those questions.

The bill would allow dog trainers to give lessons on land zoned for exclusive farm use, a point on which current law is ambiguous. In some counties, someone offering lessons in the sport of agility would have no problem today, while in others they might. This bill would clarify that.

The bill being considered during this legislative session is somewhat more restrictive than one that died last year, supporters told the House Rules Committee recently.

It does not include boarding kennels, for one thing, and it sets limits on just how many classes may be given in a day and how many dogs may participate. At least one trainer who testified said the number is more than adequate.

In addition, the change would allow land to be used for four

larger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as many as 60 dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gatherings per year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important if a trainer wants to bring in a nationally recognized expert, hold herding trials or other events that draw large numbers of dogs. The number is low enough, however, to assure that events like the Mount Bachelor Kennel Club show each July â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which combines breed, rally, agility and obedience competitions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would not be allowed. Shows of that size can draw several hundred dogs and run over a period of days.

Given its reception in the Rules Committee, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder the measure sailed through the full House of Representatives last week with unanimous approval. Maybe that should surprise no one. After all, some 7,000 Oregonians participate in organized dog events annually, and fully 40 percent of households count dogs as members of the family.

The bill has moved to the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper house. Assuming it does not become buried in the lastminute crush of business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to become law.

My Nickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worth No more common sense In The Bulletin on Feb. 15, there were two front page articles highlighting major blunders made by U.S. Forest Service officials here in Central Oregon. Unfortunately, most of us are no longer surprised when we hear about such incompetency in any of our government officials. This is a continuing pattern that should warn us all to not give our government more control over our lives, but to do everything we can to return control back to the citizens of this great country. Common sense would have prevented both blunders, but that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist in government anymore.

caâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and indeed much of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, money system, for which the â&#x20AC;&#x153;littleâ&#x20AC;? people are still paying.

I have some solutions of my own.

First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restore the Glass Steagall Act. Then letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask for some financial reports showing how much Congress has made from insider trading. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s add questions about their private lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Republican candidates for president surely are blabbing all theirs! Finally, how about some names and faces of some of the one percent that controls 98 percent of the wealth and who remain untouched financially â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and maybe are even wealthier! It might shed some light on the inner workings of Wall Street.

and SB 1564.

SB 1552 and SB 1564 would address the foreclosure problems by establishing three simple concepts: requiring mortgage servicers to give full and factual information to the borrower, including notifying a homeowner when a foreclosure is postponed; implementing a successful pre-foreclosure mediation program already used in several other states; and ending the dual track process that offers false hope to homeowners by putting them down simultaneous paths of modification and foreclosure.

I support full committee hearings for SB 1552 and SB 1564; I hope that Whisnant will also.

What do Occupiers want?

In the â&#x20AC;&#x153;littleâ&#x20AC;? recession, before the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigâ&#x20AC;? one, friends and relatives lost savings in the stock market.

It convinced me, if I ever doubted, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;littleâ&#x20AC;? people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong in the stock market. It is the wealthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toy, using little peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money to get still richer.

Now we read that much of Congress has similarly made itself into millionaires, using insider trading â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for which they have put private investors in jail.

Bill Clinton, whose intelligence I admire, in his latest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back to Work,â&#x20AC;? spells out a lot of the causes for this scandal, along with some solutions. Yet it was this same Bill Clinton who, as president, signaled the death knell of the Congressional Act that held the reins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Glass Steagall Act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and as a result unleashed the banking and finance industries to rape and pillage Ameri-

Every one of us in Central Oregon has been negatively impacted by the housing nightmare. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally experienced foreclosure, chances are you have a friend, coworker or family member who has.

One of the hallmarks of the worst economic crisis of our lifetime has been a lack of accountability for the handful of large banks responsible for the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the abusive and often illegal practices. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we need our state lawmakers to take action to establish fair rules and true accountability.

It was disappointing to learn that Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, allowed two foreclosure bills in the House to die because he refused to allow a public hearing on HB 4137 and HB 4140.

He will have one more chance when two foreclosure bills come over from the Senate, SB 1552

What do they want? Emilie Marlinghaus, in her Feb. 11 letter supporting the Occupy movement, states that it has â&#x20AC;&#x153;goals.â&#x20AC;? Could she or someone please list for this old geezer what they are? Exactly what do they want?

Bear in mind there is a universal law of compensation. Emerson devoted an entire essay on this subject.

We know it as Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third law of motion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,â&#x20AC;? and it carries across all aspects of experience and existence. Thus, for every bit of largess and security we receive we lose a bit of liberty. There is no free lunch.

So, Occupy movement, could you please give us an articulate list? What do you want? Caveat: Be careful what you ask for. You may receive it.

Wall Street incentive programs perpetuate bad practices

By William D. Cohan Bloomberg News

I

magine if you could hear directly, albeit anonymously, from the normally secretive bankers and traders who manufactured and sold the trillions of dollars in toxic debt securities that pushed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial system to the brink of disaster in 2008.

Would they defend themselves and their actions, or show a degree of remorse for what they caused and have not been held accountable for?

Well, you can find the answer to that question in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conversations With Wall Street,â&#x20AC;? a compact â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and largely overlooked â&#x20AC;&#x201D; book by Peter Ressler and Monika Mitchell published last year by FastPencil Premiere, in Campbell, Calif.

Ressler and Mitchell worked together at a Wall Street executive search firm that specialized in finding senior people for fixed-income trading departments. They placed in

their positions of leadership many of the bankers and traders who ended up causing the financial crisis that we are still trying to recover from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning of the crisis, we were as horrified as anyone else,â&#x20AC;?

Mitchell wrote in the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like the general public, we along with many others in the finance world, were outraged and furious at colleagues who had damaged, if not destroyed, our livelihoods.â&#x20AC;?

The pair set about interviewing some of the people they had recruited and placed in positions of power to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring a deeper understandingâ&#x20AC;? of how Wall Street works â&#x20AC;&#x153;stripped of its glamour.â&#x20AC;?

It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty. For instance, there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sean,â&#x20AC;? who was the co-head of the fixed-income division of a major Wall Street firm, where he was on the management and executive committees. In his late 40s, his net worth was more than $100 million. He said he saw some risks coming in the mort-

gage market, but he could not persuade his colleagues to slow down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people on and off Wall Street who are responsible for this crisis,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the main reasons it happened is because the Street got velocitized.â&#x20AC;? By this, he meant that as risk ratcheted up and became the norm, greater risks needed to be taken to get the same adrenaline rush that bankers and traders felt originally. He likened it to driving a car, first going from zero to 60 miles per hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;you can feel the speed as it increases,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but then 60 feels normal so you have to start driving 90 or more for the same feeling of acceleration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now you are cruising at a very dangerous speed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The level of control you have over the vehicle youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving is substantially reduced.â&#x20AC;?

Then there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greg,â&#x20AC;? a senior executive of a Wall Street group that manufactured and sold billions of dollars of mortgage-backed securi-

ties crammed full of mortgages made to subprime borrowers. Ressler spoke with him in early 2008 as the crisis was reaching a peak. Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss had been fired, and he was left alone to manage the portfolio.

Ressler wanted to know how Greg could keep selling the securities to investors at par knowing how lousy they were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no choice,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, somebody else will.

Besides, if we let up for one second, the competition would take the business in the blink of an eye.â&#x20AC;?

What Ressler and Mitchell have elicited from these bankers and traders rings true to me. During my 17 years on Wall Street, no one ever got rewarded for questioning whether what we were all selling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was selling merger advice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was right, wrong or indifferent. Our only rewards came from selling our services, day in, day out. We hoped what we were doing was ethical â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and legal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but there was no upside in questioning author-

ity or what we sold or how we sold it.

What is painfully clear from Ressler and Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transcripts is that the incentive system on Wall Street that rewards bankers and traders for the revenue they generate by constantly selling whatever comes across their desks, regardless of its quality, is terribly, terribly broken. People are simple: They do what they are rewarded to do, and they will continue to do that over and over again until they are rewarded to do something else.

Now, four years after the crisis started â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and despite the DoddFrank law intended to reduce the risks on Wall Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not one thing has changed in what bankers and traders are rewarded to do. Until that happens, you can forget about preventing another crisis on Wall Street. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; William D. Cohan, a former investment banker and the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World,â&#x20AC;? is a Bloomberg View columnist.

Wade was one of first black combat soldiers in WWII

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

J. Cameron Wade, who was among the first AfricanAmerican soldiers to integrate Army combat units during World War II, died Jan. 18 at the Kensington Park assisted living facility in Kensington.

He was 87.

He had dementia, his daughter Lisa Wade said. His family announced his death only recently.

Wade, who had been an Army truck driver before being called to the front lines, was part of a little-known cadre of 2,221 black soldiers who fought alongside their white counterparts in the final months of World War II. Afterward, he and many of the African-American soldiers discovered that their wartime service had gone unrecognized by Army authorities.

Wade formed the Association of the 2221 Negro Volunteers, World War II, and launched a lobbying effort aimed at military and political leaders to restore the benefits, ranks and medals that black troops had been denied.

Once the war was over, Wade and other black troops were shipped back to their original units, without having their previous, higher ranks restored. In most cases, their combat experience was omitted from their Army records.

3 accused of embezzling from tribe The Associated Press EUREKA, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two contract biologists and the former director of forestry for the Yurok tribe are accused of embezzling some $900,000 in money intended for spotted owl research over the past three years.

Court documents allege the men conspired to charge the tribe for phony spotted owl surveys on tribal forests, and that the former tribal forestry director improperly used a tribal credit card to buy iPads, car repairs, gasoline and cleaning supplies.

The investigation began when tribal officials went to authorities with invoices that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match up, The Eureka Times-Standard reported.

Del Norte County District Attorney Jon Alexander said the case involves federal funds.

Mad River Biologists founder Ron LeValley and associate biologist Sean McAllister remained in jail Monday on charges of burglary, embezzlement and conspiracy. Bail for LeValley was set at $1 million, and

Transfer Continued from C1 In the Jefferson County School District, open enrollment will be closed to students in kindergarten, and those in 10th, 11th and 12th grades unless the superintendent decides special circumstances merit an exception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re required to take action and notify parents of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent to open or not open enrollment,â&#x20AC;?

Superintendent Rick Molitor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no control over parents who decide to go to a different district.â&#x20AC;?

Under the policy, the district will decide by March 1 each year what the limits are in each grade for accepting students for the upcoming school year.

This year, the district will consider out-of-district students who will be in first through ninth grades.

The district will limit class sizes to 25 students for first- and second-grade classes in the elementary school for which admission is sought. For third- to sixth-grade classes, the limit will be 30 students per class.

$50,000 for McAllister.

Former tribal forestry director Roland Raymond has not been arrested. He left his job with the tribe on Oct. 4, 2011, after failing to report to work after being on family medical leave from June 27, 2011, to Sept. 27, 2011.

A search warrant affidavit file in Del Norte County Superior Court said 75 checks from the tribe totaling $870,064.91 were deposited into Mad River Biologists accounts between February 2008 and December 2010.

Investigator AC Field wrote that he believes the three men conspired to embezzle that money from the tribe by presenting false invoices for work that was nor performed or was not necessary. The affidavit added that Raymond used a tribal credit card to buy seven iPads, car repairs, a shower door, gasoline and cleaning supplies.

Alexander said a search of Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Eureka last week turned up syringes and a substance sent to a state crime lab for testing.

With those elementary grade limits in place, the class is considered full and closed off to out-of-district students if enrollment comes within two students of being full.

For seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade levels, the projected enrollment is 250 students for each grade. When enrollment levels come within 10 students of that projection, then full grade-level enrollment is reached.

If the number of out-of-district students seeking admission exceeds the caps, then a lottery system will be used to pick who is accepted.

Applications from parents are due by April 1, with the district notifying parents of the decisions in May. Under the policy, parents already within the school district can apply to put their child in a Jefferson County school other than the assigned school.

The policy allows the district to deny admission to outof-district students who were expelled from another school district.

Parents of students attending schools in the district under the open enrollment policy are required to provide transportation to school. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter: 541-977-7185, bbotkin@bendbulletin.com

OR-7 IN CALIFORNIA

Notable wolf’s presence sparks protection effort

By Tracie Cone The Associated Press

The only gray wolf in California arrived after heading south out of Oregon last year while his brother headed east into Idaho, moves that sealed each of their fates.

The brother is dead, shot illegally by a hunter this month, but in the Golden State wildlife advocates are demanding lifesaving protections for the lone wolf known as OR-7. A GPS satellite maps the wolf’s travels, and he is the first of the predators to roam within the state’s boundaries since 1924, when the last gray wolf was killed by a trapper intent on making the West safe for cattle.

On Monday, the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the Fish and Game Commission to protect gray wolves under the California Endangered Species Act. Though gray wolves are protected by the federal act, listing the wolves in California would mean wildlife officials must consider a recovery plan.

“There’s really no guide for the management of the gray wolf in California,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director for the Center for Biological Diversity.

“If that one wolf is to become many, wolves need help so they don’t get killed,” Greenwald wrote.

If the wolf were protected, it would press authorities to determine how many wolves would be needed to populate a given area before it would not be considered endangered. It would include a plan to deal with rancher conflicts over livestock depredation, tools for ranchers to use to avoid conflicts, and monitoring for disease such as distemper and rabies.

Already the California Department of Fish and Game has been preparing for the

wolves’ return. Department officials are meeting with ranchers and environmental groups as they continue work on a management plan that was begun before the wolf even crossed the border.

“We are really trying to be proactive,” said Karen Kovacs, the wildlife program manager in the northern region the wolf is roaming.

“We’ve asked for additional funds that would dedicate staff to focus solely on wolf management, but it depends on what the governor believes is most important. We have water and fish issues in this state too.”

Illegal hunting and car strikes are the primary threats to gray wolves in California, which the petition argues will increase without endangered species status.

Oregon and Washington listed the gray wolf before any of the species migrated there.

The petition filed with the state says that growing populations in Oregon and the Washington Cascades mean “wolves are likely to continue to naturally disperse to California, and to establish a breeding population.” It cited a 2001 study that concluded that the northeast corner of California could support as many as 470 wolves.

OR-7 comes from a pack that crossed into Oregon, where 24 now live.

The story of OR-7 — the seventh wolf affixed with a GPS collar in Oregon — has been well documented as he began meandering south in September, then crossed the border into Siskiyou County around New Year’s. He has impressed wildlife experts with his endurance, traveling 20 air miles a day as he headed deeper into the state through Shasta and Lassen counties before turning back toward the border this month.

A satellite tracked his every move.

MLB: SPRING TRAINING

Rams are open to deal No. 2 pick

Boston star Ellsbury set to build off super season

INDIANAPOLIS — The St. Louis Rams are in the catbird seat, and they know it. In what’s widely regarded as a two-quarterback draft, they’re sitting there with the No. 2 overall pick.

“I’ve definitely heard, it seems like there’s a rumor, that there’s two good quarterbacks in this draft,” Rams general manager Les Snead said, tongue in cheek. “We’re going to be prepared for all options — especially if multiple teams think that there are two good quarterbacks, and one goes first.”

For starters, it will be one of the bigger upsets in NFL draft history if the Indianapolis Colts, with the No. 1 overall pick, don’t take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. After that it becomes a matter of who wants Baylor QB Robert Griffin III. And do they want him badly enough to move up to the No. 2 spot for him?

In separate media sessions Friday at the NFL scouting combine, Snead and coach Jeff Fisher didn’t wave green-and-gold Baylor pompons. But it’s easy to see why they might be for rooting for Griffin — rooting for him to wow the rest of the league at the combine and on his pro day March 21.

Actually, none of that is necessary, Fisher said.

“I don’t think whether he has a good pro day or runs fast and has a good combine is that important,” Fisher said. “Put the tape on and watch him play. His body of work speaks for itself.”

The Associated Press FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jacoby Ellsbury’s offseason was pretty routine. He did the same things he usually does.

Except that this time the Boston outfielder and Central Oregon native was enjoying it as the American League Most Valuable Player runner-up. Which was much different from

how Ellsbury spent the previous winter, when he was coming off an injury-filled season.

Ellsbury hit .321 with 32 home runs, 105 runs batted in and 39 stolen bases in 2011. A lastmonth collapse cost the Red Sox a playoff spot and likely hurt Ellsbury in the MVP voting. Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander won the award.

Kenseth wins Daytona 500 • Fire and wrecks create havoc and delays

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

NBA

Building a new arena for the Sacramento Kings has never been closer to reality.

The city, the Sacramento Kings and the NBA announced a tentative deal Monday to finance a new arena that would keep the team in California’s capital for the long haul. The City Council will vote on the plan March 6.

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, NBA Commissioner David Stern and the Maloof family, which owns the Kings, emerged from three days of talks in Orlando, Fla., — where they had been negotiating during All-Star weekend — to announce that the framework of a deal had been reached.

Under the proposed terms of the deal, the city will contribute $200-$250 million to the estimated $387 million arena, mostly by leasing out parking garages around the facility, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the full financing plan will not be made public until at least Thursday, said Sacramento also will create revenue through a ticket surcharge.

The Maloofs have agreed to contribute $75 million in upfront cash, along with paying off a current $67 million loan to the city and contributing more over the course of the deal.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — There was rain, fire, soap suds and fog in the most bizarre Daytona 500 in history.

When it was all over, Matt Kenseth was the only sure thing.

It wasn’t even close.

Kenseth capped a crazy 36 hours for NASCAR by winning the first postponed Daytona 500 in 55 editions of the marquee event. He held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle over a twolap overtime finish in a race that was scheduled to begin Sunday afternoon but ended in the early morning hours Tuesday.

“We had a really fast car and have fast cars in the past, and I figured out a way to mess it up,” Kenseth said. “I am glad it all worked out.”

It did for Kenseth, who picked up a second Daytona 500 title to go with his 2009 victory at the end of a wild SpeedWeeks. All three of NASCAR’s national series races went to overtime, with unknown winners picking up the victories in the Nationwide and Truck Series.

And after a wild Daytona 500 that took more than 36 hours to complete, the teams were stranded in Daytona another night: bad weather in North Carolina closed the airports at home.

“Now believe it or not I can’t go home,” fourth-place finisher Denny Hamlin posted on Twitter. “Fogged in. Yet another night in Daytona.”

He had it better than driver Landon Cassill — his rental car was towed from Daytona International Speedway property sometime during the race.

Yup, it was that kind of

race.

Rain at Daytona International Speedway first forced NASCAR to push the race to Monday afternoon, then Monday night for the firstever 500 in primetime television. Then a freak accident caused a massive fuel fire that stopped the race for two hours as safety workers used Tide laundry detergent to clean up the track.

In the end, the event will be remembered not for the actual racing, but all the fluke things that plagued it from start to finish.

“The thing that comes into my mind is NASCAR just can’t catch a break,” Earnhardt said.

“We’re trying to deliver, and we just have some unfortunate things happen such as the rain delay, potholes in the track a couple of years ago. We’re a good sport, and we’re trying to give a good product.”

When racing resumed after a 2-hour stoppage for a freaky fuel fire, it was obvious it was Kenseth’s to lose.

Is a Heat, Thunder final in the forecast?

Course is in GREAT shape!

Expires 3/15/12

By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Kevin Durant says it’s too early to think about a potential HeatThunder NBA finals.

It seems hard to ignore at the season’s midpoint.

The teams share the league’s best record and both rolled

into the All-Star break. With Durant and Russell Westbrook on one side and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh looking to avenge their finals disappointment of 2011, the series could be a thriller.

But Chicago is right on Miami’s heels in the East, and a

number of contenders could emerge for the Thunder out West.

The second half opens tonight, and the other big story is Dwight Howard’s situation. Orlando has to decide

by March 15 if it will keep or trade its franchise center.

S B Wrestling • Beavers claim Pac-12 title: Oregon State captured the first Pac-12 Conference wrestling championship Sunday night at the Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho. The Beavers won the team title with 138 points to 129 for runner-up Boise State and 125 for Stanford. Four Oregon State wrestlers were weight-class champions: Scott Mangrum (141 pounds), Scott Sakaguchi (149), R.J. Pena (157) and Clayton Jack (heavyweight).

Baseball • A’s 3B Sizemore out for season with knee tear: Oakland Athletics third baseman Scott Sizemore will miss the entire 2012 season after tearing a ligament in his left knee. The A’s announced the injury Monday. Sizemore was hurt on Saturday during the first day of full-squad workouts. He had an MRI exam and the A’s say he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament. Sizemore was acquired

by Oakland last May in a trade with Detroit. He hit .249 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs in 93 games with the A’s.

• Red Sox C Varitek to retire Thursday: A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Boston Red Sox catcher and captain Jason Varitek has decided to retire.

The Boston Globe first reported Varitek’s decision on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Varitek had not made an announcement. Varitek is expected to make it official Thursday at Boston’s spring training camp in Fort Myers, Fla.

Golf • USGA head says to expect U.S. Open at Olympic to be tougher: If USGA executive director Mike Davis has his way, the record low scores at last year’s U.S. Open at Congressional are unlikely to travel to the

West Coast. Davis said Monday at San Francisco’s majestic Olympic Club that the course will be “the hardest start in a U.S. Open” when players tee off June 14. The unleveled Lake Course in the serene setting just across the street from the Pacific Ocean will play at 7,170 yards — 373 yards longer than the last time the tournament hosted the national championship in 1998 — including the 670-yard 16th that could be the longest Par 5 in Open history.

Basketball • UConn says Calhoun’s surgery a success: University of Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun underwent what the school says was successful surgery to address the spinal condition that has forced him to miss the Huskies’ past seven games. The two-hour surgery was performed Monday morning at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and involved removing a “large extruded disk fragment” that had been pressing on a spinal nerve, the school said. The surgeons then decompressed the area around the nerve.

Skiing • Knee injury sidelines Miller for rest of season: Bode Miller will undergo another surgery on his balky left knee and miss the remainder of the World Cup season. The five-time Olympic medalist had a minor arthroscopic procedure performed on the knee earlier this month with the hope of quickly returning to the circuit. But when Miller recently arrived back in Europe, he experienced more discomfort. The U.S. ski team didn’t release a date for Miller’s next surgery.

Miller says he will return to training, “as soon as possible. I’m still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I’m going to continue to do it.”

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 3 Kansas wins Big 12 outright The Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — Kansas coach Bill Self pulled Tyshawn Taylor aside and threatened to pull him off of his assignment to guard Keiton Page if he didn’t do a better job.

That was all the motivation Taylor needed.

Taylor scored 27 points, including 10 straight during a game-clinching run over the final 5 minutes, and No. 3 Kansas claimed the Big 12 title outright by beating Oklahoma State 70-58 on Monday night.

The Jayhawks (25-5, 15-2) have won the conference title outright the past four years and players wore blue T-shirts with “8 STR8” on the front after the game, signifying their eight consecutive titles overall — including shared crowns in 2005, 2006 and 2008 when

they weren’t the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

“It feels amazing because a lot of people didn’t think we’d be this good this year,” Taylor said. “I think if you asked us at the beginning of the year, our goal was to always win a Big 12 championship. We prepared like we wanted to win.”

Also on Monday: N o. 9 Baylor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 77 Texas Tech. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 WACO, Texas — Perry Jones III had 15 points and 10 rebounds and A.J. Walton scored a season-high 13 points for Baylor in its home finale.

No. 11 Georgetown . . . . . . . 59 No. 20 Notre Dame. . . . . . . . 41 WASHINGTON — Georgetown’s Jason Clark and Henry Sims combined for 25 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on “Senior Day.”

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Ellsbury

Coach

Continued from D1 “We’re playing against the best competition in the world. Obviously, I did everything I could, left it all on the field last year,” Ellsbury said Sunday. “When I found out about the results, I was happy for Justin Verlander. But at the same time, me being as competitive as I am, I wish I would have won.”

Ellsbury scored 119 runs, had a .376 on-base percentage and posted a .552 slugging percentage. There was not much more he could have done to convince MVP voters of his worthiness.

He impressed one person who did not have a vote.

“I thought he was the MVP, personally,” new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said.

“I just thought his year was phenomenal.”

Valentine was working for ESPN last season and watched Ellsbury get off to a good start at Texas, getting two hits and scoring twice.

“From the opening day that I saw him in Texas, his swing seemed to be so consistently good,” Valentine recalled. “His defense was terrific. Watching him at the end of the year, it looked like he was given the at-bats that were needed, and the numbers speak for themselves.

“I don’t know, how do you get those numbers? It’s an amazing body of work how he filled up all the columns. Now, what that means is that he’s very good.

What it means to our team is that I hope he stays healthy and I think he’ll be a major contributor,” Valentine said.

Health was a major topic of conversation for Ellsbury at this point last year. The former Madras High School and Oregon State University standout played in just 18 games in 2010 and was often asked if he felt he had something to prove going into 2011. His mantra was that he just wanted to play baseball and let his performance speak for itself.

It did.

“Well, that’s how I always go about doing business,” said Ellsbury, who appeared in 158 games last season. “I’m not much of a tell-you-what-I’m-going-to-do (person) or anything like that. I just try to go, let my play do the speaking for itself.

“I get a lot of questions about this coming season. That’s the same route I’m going to take is just let my play do the speaking for itself and I’m excited just because of how the workouts went this offseason and how I feel right now and coming into spring training.”

This spring, Ellsbury, 28, is giving Valentine other questions to answer. Last season, he led the league with 732 plate appearances, all but 43 of them came from the leadoff spot.

So with the power and production he displayed last year, would the Red Sox be better served moving Ellsbury — who led the league in stolen bases in 2008 with 50 and in 2009 with 70 — lower in the lineup?

“I think he could be (a middleof-the-order hitter),” Valentine said. “When I talked to him about it, he thinks he could be.

He just never has been. That makes it a little bit of a mental challenge.”

Last year, Ellsbury was just grateful to be in the lineup. This year, he knows he has a spot. And it doesn’t matter which one.

In addition to leading off last year, he also batted fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth, but nothing other than first after April 21.

“It’s hard for me to say at this point,” Ellsbury said. “I haven’t hit third on this team before. So I don’t know how we’d go about mixing the lineup and that sort of thing. Certain guys feel comfortable with hitting certain positions. I’ve hit different areas in the lineup and it hasn’t really bothered me.

“I feel comfortable but at the same time I think that time will tell. Time will tell what will happen, but I really don’t have an opinion either way at this moment.”

Ellsbury, who last year made the American League All-Star team for the first time and after the season was named AL Comeback Player of the Year, avoided salary arbitration by reaching agreement with the Red Sox last month on a one-year, nonguaranteed contract worth $8.05 million.

For Valentine, who has been in baseball for most of his 61 years, Ellsbury is in a very small class.

There are not many players who begin their careers as speed guys then quickly emerge as both speed and power players.

“First of all, there’s not many who have that package,” Valentine said. “I’m stumped. If he’s not totally unique, he’s in a real small sample. He’s just a joy.”

Continued from D1 “It’s a great honor, and it’s just like, OK, whatever I can do not to screw up,” says McLatchie.

The designation is probably, at least in part, a nod to her record in the sport.

“In some ways, it’s like a reward for volunteering in the national federation, with athletes, on committees, officiating, just contribution to the sport,” explains McLatchie, who says she received official notification that she had been named to the position in December.

As a coach for the U.S. team, her role is primarily to assist her athletes, which are the U.S. women’s 800-meter, 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter entrants.

(These events are the longest races contested at the world indoor championships. In outdoor world championships and Olympic competition, both men and women compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase rather than the flat 3,000 meters, and in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.)

As McLatchie explained them, her tasks will largely be administrative in nature, such as learning which athletes want to share rooms, seeing if the athletes have special needs, tracking down items they may have forgotten, and keeping tabs on them at all times in case they are requested for drug testing. If any of the runners wishes to go on a long run during their free time, McLatchie will also help organize the excursion, as, she notes, the team’s hotel is not located near any parks.

“So that’s going to be a challenge, is how far do they want to run and when, what day, and what we can do to work it out,” McLatchie

says.

McLatchie will travel by air out of New York on March 4 with the rest of the U.S. team, which will take a direct flight to Istanbul and arrive a few days prior to the start of the championships for a mini training camp.

The day after the championships end, the U.S. team will fly back to New York, and from there, McLatchie will make her return to Central Oregon.

She says she has never been to Istanbul, a city of some 13 million people (as of 2010) that is situated on the northeast coast of the Sea of Marmara and within a day’s drive of the eastern borders of Bulgaria and Greece.

This is not the first time that McLatchie’s involvement in running and track and field has offered an avenue to travel to a different part of the world. She was an assistant team manager for the 1993 U.S. women’s team that competed in the

Daytona Continued from D1 Biffle was the only driver who could mount a challenge as the Fords were the class of the field. Carl Edwards, another Roush driver, started from the pole and finished eighth.

“The Roush cars are really strong; they showed that all week,” Earnhardt said.

Kenseth and Biffle took over the lead following the stoppage with 40 laps to go, caused by the fire that began when something broke on Juan Pablo Montoya’s car. He was driving alone under caution, spun hard into a safety truck, and the collision caused an instant explosion.

Jet fuel — the safety truck held 200 gallons of kerosene — poured down the surface of Turn 3 at Daytona International Speedway after the accident, creating a fiery lasting image of NASCAR’s biggest race of the year.

Journeyman driver Dave Blaney

Forecast Continued from D1 James and the Heat burn for a second chance. Durant and the Thunder are storming toward their first opportunity.

An NBA finals matchup is easy to picture.

Durant isn’t looking.

“It’s too early for that,” the All-Star game MVP said. “We’re trying to take it a game at a time, a day at a time. I know in Oklahoma City, we look forward to getting better every day, and we’ll see what happens.”

If the All-Star game was an indication, a Miami-OKC series would be a thriller.

Durant and Thunder teammate Westbrook helped shoot the West to a big lead. James and Wade almost brought the East all the way back before James’ turnover in the final seconds allowed the West to escape with a 152-149 victory.

James endured plenty of similar late-game disappointments last June, when Miami fell to Dallas in the Heat’s first finals with their Big Three. He vowed to be better and play looser this season, and he went into the break as the MVP favorite after a sensational first half for himself and his team.

“We’ve got a lot of season to go.

I’m on the right path, back to playing basketball how I play, and that’s back to having fun at a high level,” James said. “The best thing about this season so far, we’re playing some good basketball. Our team feels that we are one right now, especially with last year under our belt, so we’re just going to try to get better every day.”

Miami and Oklahoma City rolled into the break with a share of the NBA’s best record at 27-7. The Heat have won eight in a row in over-

IAAF World Championships in Athletics, staged in Stuttgart, Germany, back when American track and field icons such as Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Gail Devers were still competing. And she has served as a U.S. team official in international half-marathon and relay events in countries such as Slovakia, Spain, Japan and India.

Her competitive running career has been similarly stellar. After taking up the sport in her early adult years, McLatchie won an elite-level national title in the 10,000 on the track in 1988. She also finished 12th in the inaugural U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the women’s marathon, staged in May 1984 in Olympia, Wash. Joan Benoit Samuelson won that race and went on to capture Olympic gold in Los Angeles a few months later.

And that’s not even the whole of her resume, which

was leading at that time because he had not pitted, and all the drivers surrounded him as they lingered outside their parked cars during the clean-up.

It looked a little bit like a party — and Brad Keselowski nearly tripled his number of Twitter followers by live tweeting during the break — as everyone discussed just what had happened to derail the race.

It was par for the course for this Daytona 500.

Montoya, who said his helmet was singed in the fire and his foot ached, said he felt a vibration in his car before the accident.

“I’ve hit a lot of things — but a jet dryer?” he said. “It just felt really strange, and as I was talking on the radio, the car just turned right.”

The drivers were allowed to exit their cars after about 10 minutes under the red flag.

NASCAR officials examined the track surface and determined the race could continue.

Blazers sign Przybilla PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers are welcoming back freeagent center Joel Przybilla.

Przybilla, who spent more than six seasons in Portland before he was traded to Charlotte last season, has not played this season. The 7-foot1 center was pursued by Chicago, Miami and Milwaukee but decided to rejoin the Blazers last week, pending a physical exam.

Over an 11-year NBA career, Przybilla has averaged 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and four points per game. With the Blazers from 2004 to 2011, he averaged 4.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.54 blocks.

“We’ve been actively trying to get Joel to return to Portland for some time now and we’re thrilled with his decision to come back to the Trail Blazers family,” Blazers acting general manager Chad Buchanan said in a prepared statement. “Joel is a hard worker, a great teammate and a player that does the little things to help you win, all qualities that will help us down the stretch run.”

Terms of the deal with Przybilla were not released.

To make room for Przybilla on the roster, the Blazers waived guard Armon Johnson, who was in his second season with Portland.

whelming fashion; the Thunder have won five straight and are 15-1 at home.

The NBA’s best headed out of Orlando on Monday, and soon Howard will learn if he’s joining them. The

includes positions on highranking USA Track & Field committees. She will serve as a meet official for the second time at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Eugene this summer.

When McLatchie returns to Central Oregon from Istanbul, she will resume volunteer coaching duties of the distance runners at Summit High School. Her husband, Jim, is in his third season at the helm of the Storm’s track and field distance squad.

But on the near horizon, Turkey beckons, the next position in a long line of service that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.

“It’s a honor and a recognition, which is cool,” McLatchie says of her Istanbul post. “But I just kind of keep moving forward and looking to see where I can help become a better official, better coach.”

Blaney’s lead was short-lived, however, as he had to pit for gas, giving Kenseth the lead.

The racing was aggressive at the drop of the green flag, and the first accident occurred on just the second lap, when Elliott Sadler ran into the back of Jimmie Johnson as they drafted around the track.

The contact sent Johnson into the wall, and as the five-time NASCAR champion slid back down across the track, he was hit hard in the door by David Ragan. The accident collected six cars total, including defending Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and Danica Patrick.

“I’m just really, really bummed to start the season this way,” Johnson said. “To work as hard as everyone did at Hendrick Motorsports to get this Lowe’s Chevrolet and to have it barely complete two-and-a-half miles of green flag racing is pretty sad. We’ll just go on and go to Phoenix and set our marks on winning that race.”

Magic have until the March 15 trade deadline to decide whether they will honor his trade request or keep him until the end of the season and risk him leaving as a free agent in July.

The Magic have the East’s fourthbest record and look good enough at times to be viewed as a contender.

Still, they and everyone else in the East seem clearly behind Miami and Chicago, whether they keep their franchise center or not.

Howard said the Magic haven’t hit their peak yet and have an opportunity to compete for the title.

“That says a lot about our team and about the growth of the team despite everything that’s been going around,” he said. “We’ve been able to stay focused on what we need to do, and we’re only going to get better.”

Still, the East appears to be shaping up as a two-team race between the Heat and the Bulls, who are half a game back despite battling injuries to All-Stars Derrick Rose and Luol Deng and especially to Richard Hamilton.

Hamilton, signed to upgrade the shooting guard position, was limited to only 11 games because of a groin injury.

Indiana and Philadelphia have been surprisingly strong, New York has recovered from a poor start behind Jeremy Lin, and Boston hopes to bounce back from a disappointing first half. But a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference finals appears likely.

The playoff picture is less clear in the West. San Antonio surged into the break despite playing for much of the first half without Manu Ginobili; the Los Angeles Clippers have become quick contenders since acquiring Chris Paul; and Dallas may still be good enough for a long playoff run.

Then there are the Lakers, whose rocky road will have taken another bad turn if the broken nose Kobe

The Associated Press CALGARY, Alberta — Veteran center Jason Arnott was proud to be wearing the St. Louis wiener hat after Monday’s victory in Calgary.

Arnott scored two powerplay goals and the Blues defeated the Flames 3-1 to move into a tie with Detroit atop the Central Division, and within two points of Vancouver for first place overall.

“It’s for the hardest worker or player of the game, which the guys vote for when we get in here,” explained Arnott, who at age 37 is the team’s oldest player. “It’s sure funny looking, but it’s an honor to wear it.”

Arnott gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead with 20 seconds remaining in the first period when he scored on a long slap shot that eluded goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.

He made it 3-1 by corralling a rebound off Patrick Berglund’s shot, skating through the slot and backhanding it in during the second period.

Arnott has always played well against Calgary, scoring 29 goals in 57 career games against the Flames.

Arnott, who entered the night with one goal in his last 13 games, is up to 15 on the season.

Boston’s Rajon Rondo has also been linked to trade rumors, potentially making another All-Star available. Howard’s status also affects potential destinations such as the Nets and Mavericks, so business will get just as much attention as basketball next month.

“No question,” the Nets’ Deron Williams said. “The deadline’s on the 15th and every year they move the deadline up.”

With the lockout delaying the season and reducing it to 66 games, the All-Star break actually comes right at the midpoint of the season. Many teams were happy to have the break and were eager for practice time after so little was available because of the frequency of games.

That hasn’t affected the Heat or the Thunder, who rank first and third in the NBA in scoring with 103.7 and 102.7 points, respectively. Miami has been as dominant as expected when it put its star trio together, winning by nearly 10 points a game and even more during their win streak.

The Thunder were built more gradually, winning just 23 games three seasons ago. They reached the West finals last year and seem poised to go further now.

“We worked our way to the top,” Westbrook said. “So it’s not a bad thing to be on top and be where we want to be at at this halfway point.”

And come June, Heat and Thunder could in the NBA’s forecast.

• Central Oregonians return volumes with notes and more left inside

By Alandra Johnson The Bulletin

eople leave all sorts of things in books they turn in to local libraries and used bookstores.

Love letters and bucket lists. Sticky notes outlining scenes of a story. Cash. Pressed flowers.

Some things, like toilet paper and old boarding passes, are clearly trash. But other items evoke curiosity, mystery and even romance.

P

Scrapbook Shawna Dailey, a public services specialist who works in circulation, started collecting items she found around the Downtown Bend Public Library a little more than a year ago with two other fellow staff members. While they sorted through books or reshelved items, they came across fascinating snippets.

“They were too special to throw away,” said Dailey.

Be a part of a chicken coop tour Organizers of Central Oregon’s third annual Chicken Coop Tour seek participants for the event, to be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 12.

The tour raises funds and food for three local nonprofits: NeighborImpact Food Bank, Together for Children and Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center. In its first two years, 2,700 people toured 61 featured coops, and the tour has raised more than $11,500 in cash and donations as well as more than 900 pounds of food through sponsors.

To participate, coop owners from Bend, Tumalo and Alfalfa must sign up by March 9. Sponsors are also sought.

Tour booklets with a map, directions and coop descriptions serve as the ticket for participants and will be available in early April for $10 or six items of nonperishable food.

She remembers finding a note on a circulation computer terminal that read, “Somebody here thinks you’re beautiful.” How could she throw that away?

Dailey and her co-workers began creating a collection of interesting scraps, eventually turning it into a book filled with these touching, sometimes obscure items.

Some of the items are especially moving, but seem to ask more questions than they answer.

One such note reads, “Please note, I only wish I could have read this book when I was 24 instead of 84. Thank you.”

But staff members have no idea what book the reader was talking about.

One piece of paper lists what this person wants in life: strong muscles, unconditional love. On the reverse is listed what he or she doesn’t want: drugs, dishonesty, time spent doing what others want.

Let’s talk about human evolution • Oregon anthropologists, scientists to discuss how we arrived here

By Sigourney B. Nuñez The Bulletin

Discussing the evolution of humans and the movement of humans around the world, scientists from diverse fields are launching a lecture series March 8 in Central Oregon.

The series will explore the converging lines of evidence revealing human origins, evolution and migration. Anthropologists and paleontologists will share findings on how humans have changed and

adapted in order to occupy different environments.

The series is presented by Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory in collaboration with the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program at Central Oregon Community College (see “If you go,” Page E6).

“This is intriguing stuff,” said Jay Bowerman, principal researcher at Sunriver Nature Center. “Two years we started a lecture series called ‘Darwin’s Legacy.’ We found there was

an interest in continuing the conversation.”

The “How Did we Get Here?” lecture series will follow the topic of evolution, bringing insight to research and discoveries on how humans became what they are and arrived where they did.

Kicking off the series is Thomas Connolly, archaeological research director at the University of Oregon’s Natural and Cultural History Museum.

TV & M â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; transform homes for television TV SPOTLIGHT â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property Brothersâ&#x20AC;?

8 p.m. Wednesdays, HGTV

By Nancy Chipman Powers Detroit Free Press

Drew and Jonathan Scott are best known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property Brothersâ&#x20AC;? on HGTV. On the show, the 33-year-old identical twins find homes in need of repair and then fix them up for their clients. Jonathan is a licensed contractor and Drew is a licensed real estate agent. In 2004, they founded Scott Real Estate, with offices in Vancouver and Calgary in Canada, and Las Vegas, where they now live.

They took a break from filming episodes in Austin, Texas, to talk with the Detroit Free Press.

Q:

Were you on TV before â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property Brothersâ&#x20AC;??

Drew: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the film industry since we were kids.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a director as well. Originally, (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property Brothersâ&#x20AC;?) was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Dream Homeâ&#x20AC;? and it was a guy/girl combination (but) they changed it around to be for brothers. The network loved it.

Jonathan: It is kind of a perfect blend of both of our worlds. We have done television and film, and we also have this very successful real estate company. What we do on the show is basically what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing with clients and ourselves for almost 16 years. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all like a big family; we all have a blast.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see that HGTV.com just loaded a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes videos and Web episodes that Drew and I actually write.

Drew: And you can get an idea of the funny stuff that goes on. The big thing that we try to stress on our show (is) you can take your job seriously but not yourself. And we have a lot of fun while we do this. Still, in the end, we get everything done quickly and within budget and it just looks amazing.

Jonathan, tell me about your career as an illusionist.

Jonathan: I do everything from full-scale Vegas-style production down to small sleight of hand. As a kid, I designed all my illusions and did all of the woodworking. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been hands-on.

THE DESCENDANTS (R) 1, 4, 6:30

On the show your relationship seems relaxed and playful. Do you always get along?

Jonathan: Yeah, Drew and I pretty much have the perfect relationship because we sort of have this no BS rule with each other. We say whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on our mind, good news or bad news, and that way nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever disappointed. People always are asking if we ever argue and fight and, to be honest, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

And Drew, tell me about the films you produce and direct?

Drew: Jonathan and I, along with our older brother (J.D. Scott), have produced independent films as well as some large events in Canada including TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival.

We do an event called the Producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ball. And then in Vancouver thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an event called the Leo Awards. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a producer for them for four years.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ THE BULLETIN

A & A

Mom cringes at bad example her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children set Dear Abby: My boyfriend has proposed. I love him very much, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried about my kids. I look at his children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his son is 23 and barely made it out of high school. He got a girl pregnant at 17, has been in jail a few times and is an alcoholic. His 15-year-old daughter is immature for her age and constantly getting into trouble at school. Their mother is an alcoholic and a drug user. Are my concerns for my children valid? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Worried in West Virginia Dear Worried: Yes, they are, because your children will be exposed to all of the negative influences that his children will bring with them into your blended family. Be smart and hold off marrying your boyfriend until your children are old enough not to be influenced by his children. Your first concern must be for your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being.

Dear Abby: I read your answer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrilled in San Joseâ&#x20AC;? (Dec. 28), the couple who want to celebrate paying off their mortgage, on the same day I read an article about how middle-class Americans have sabotaged themselves by abandoning thrifty habits like saving and ... paying off their mortgages!

I disagree with your answer that the couple should celebrate privately. A generation of Americans now has no idea that paying off a mortgage is even possible. So I say to that couple: Celebrate tastefully and publicly in the same thrifty way that enabled you to pay off that mortgage. And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, be prepared to share the tips and habits that enabled you to achieve this wonderful success. Who knows? Your party might educate and inspire. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Like an Invitation Dear Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Like: I was surprised at the number of readers who were fired up over my answer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrilledâ&#x20AC;? about burning the mortgage. Most said that

DEAR ABBY this is a milestone that should be celebrated. My readers comment: Dear Abby: I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to throw a mortgage-burning party to celebrate paying off a home mortgage. Today we go overboard not to offend. True friends would be happy when something good happens and not jealous. How self-centered is that attitude? People need to start feeling happy for the success of others. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lori in Gig Harbor, Wash.

Dear Abby: I believe â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrilledâ&#x20AC;? and her husband should have their mortgageburning party. Achievements like this should be celebrated.

Too often in our country people have piled on debt they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford and made decisions purely to keep up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Joneses.â&#x20AC;? By sharing their success story, including any struggles they may have overcome, they can be an inspiration for the loved ones in their lives to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Debbie in the Southwest Dear Abby: Please advise â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrilledâ&#x20AC;? not to ACTUALLY burn the mortgage. In California the lender has to provide a release document in the form of a Deed of Reconveyance or Satisfaction of Mortgage that must be recorded with the county recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in order to remove the lien of the loan from the chain of title for the house.

If the lender doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t record it, then the borrower must do so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; copies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count; originals do. If â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrilledâ&#x20AC;? decided to sell the house and the release has not been recorded, or if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the original, it could delay the sale by months. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda in San Francisco â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you express an unusual openness to change, and you let go of the status quo. You can visualize better than you ever have. When you are inspired, you will express your vision well. If you are single, a unique person walks into your life.

Do your best not to put this person on a pedestal, and remain realistic.

If you are attached, the two of you share a common dream. Take the first step in making it so. GEMINI holds you back at times.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your instincts serve you well concerning financial decisions.

Focus on your goals and better communication. Not everyone needs to know the â&#x20AC;&#x153;how and why,â&#x20AC;? but simply the end decision. Still, if asked, do answer. Tonight: Make time to visit and catch up on othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your ability to wow others and impress them emerges. You are surrounded by people who really do care. Though you might not need their support now, you might later on. When someone initiates a discussion, open up. Tonight: Do some shopping, if need be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Make it OK to feel down in the dumps right now. You might see a situation in a very negative light. What will it take to turn that perspective around? A boss or older friend has a lot to share. Learn from this person. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. You express an unusual perspective and can communicate it well. Integrate new information for others so that they can see a new path. Others finally will be able to open up, if they so choose. Tonight: Play it low-key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Assume your place in the limelight. An associate keeps whispering what he or she feels is important information to know.

Listen, but also set limits to the conversation. Working as a team is fine, as long as you have space to be yourself. Tonight: Squeeze in some fun time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to

approach a situation differently. The feedback you are receiving points to another path. Get adequate feedback from another person. You could be surprised by what you hear. Once you feel secure, take action. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Work with individuals.

You could hear radically different opinions, which makes it clear, once more, that you must go your own way. A discussion opens up possibilities left and right. You might be taken aback by an unexpected insight. Tonight: Detach, then look at a situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others challenge you, but know that it is simply a phase.

On the other hand, you have the wherewithal to know when to hold your ground. Creativity plays a role in your interactions, work or whatever you might be doing.

Tonight: Make time for a special person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Discussions and comments reveal much more about where others are coming from.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop what you are doing to comment. Just be a good listener; you might be amazed. A call from a family member or roommate is informative as well. Tonight: Out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH No one knows how to stir the pot quite like you do. You might even do it unintentionally.

Your very presence and how you deal with your life could incite some crazy responses. Allow your innate ingenuity to come out. Help others lighten up. Tonight: Try for an early bedtime.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Family weighs on your mind.

You are not always comfortable with what is going on, nor should you be.

Discuss finances and an investment involving real estate not only with those it will impact, but also with those in the know. Tonight: What starts as serious evolves into fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your way of saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;enoughâ&#x20AC;? works. Someone who does not like to hear you put an end to a certain topic could be trying to get your attention. If you are overwhelmed, just say so. Establish your own boundaries, and speak your mind more often. Tonight: Out and about. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Finds Continued from E1 One note lists a morning prayer and begins, “Dear God, have mercy on me.”

They collected one very personal song or poem written by a child who talks about not being able to let people love him or her.

Dailey says sometimes she wonders if writers intend for anyone to find the items.

“Sometimes you can tell, when they are looking for someone,” said Dailey. That, she says, is why scraps like this are too valuable to throw out.

The book also contains some funnier items, such as a picture of a whale and crayon drawings from children.

Dailey says the scrapbook isn’t available to the public — it is just intended as a way to preserve these things that were too precious to toss.

She sees it as a love letter to their job and “the magic we find here on a daily basis.”

Dailey still collects some items, but she doesn’t come across as many since she started working at the Sunriver branch.

“I’m going to keep doing it; it makes my day brighter,” she said.

Other library stuff Chantal Strobel, community relations manager for the Deschutes Public Library system, says staff members generally wait to see if anyone comes in to claim an item before deciding how to deal with it. One common item to find is cash — sometimes a considerable amount, says Strobel. If no one claims it, the money goes into the petty cash drawer at the particular library.

She says staffers find “a lot of homework, which makes us sad for the kids.” They find photos, leather bookmarks, greeting cards, artwork, letters and lots of lists. Some items, like expired boarding passes, they just shred and recycle.

Strobel says frequently they don’t have a way of getting the item back to the person; often-

Baron Cohen spills ‘ashes’ at Oscars Sacha Baron Cohen ran amuck on the Oscars’ red carpet Sunday night, spilling a vase of what he jokingly claimed were ashes on E! host Ryan Seacrest.

Baron Cohen arrived in character for his upcoming film, “The Dictator,” in which he plays a kind of Moammar Gadhafi parody. Flanked by two flower girls, he claimed to be carrying the ashes of the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. He told Seacrest that it was Jong Il’s dream to “be sprinkled over the red carpet and over Halle Berry’s chest.” Then, as Seacrest was bending down, he spilled the ashes over Seacrest’s tuxedo.

The E! host smiled as security physically pushed Baron Cohen away.

A copy of ‘Pocahontis,’ above, and a collection of stuffed animals, left, are some of the items people have left behind when dropping off books at the Bookmark.

times, the items fall out in the book drop and staff members can’t tell which book they originally came out of. They do their best to contact the owners of some items, such as lab results.

“A really bizarre one,” said Strobel, “is a random piece of toilet paper. It makes the staff really grossed out.”

Strobel likes thinking about all of the items that end up in books and in the library. “People come to libraries and do a lot of life work there,” she said.

From writing a bucket list to a grocery list, Strobel says, “we’re a place where life happens.”

“I think they are wonderful things to find,” said Maroe.

Some items, like old presidential campaign ribbons or letters written by the author, Maroe sells separately because of their value. She says many people enjoy reading the old letters she finds. “A lot of people are interested in the past and what people are thinking.”

Bookmark employee Alisha Petrie says the most startling thing she finds are bugs.

“Quite a few spiders come out of the books.” (The books are cleaned, of course, before hitting the shelves.)

McGeary likes seeing bookmarks that come from all over the world. She also sees picture frames, figurines and more. Sometimes people bring in books in an old dog food bag and the books contain smashed bits of kibble, or people have smashed cigarette butts into the book.

“I would prefer books come in clean,” said McGeary.

When she finds letters, she admits she is “nosy enough to read them.” Often, though, it’s next to impossible to figure out who left the item. She used to hang up photographs of weddings and grandchildren she found so people could claim them, but people kept assuming the pictures were of her family.

“I end up throwing them away. It always makes me feel bad,” said McGeary.

She has only found one $1 bill, which was covered in mouse nibblings.

The Open Book owner Doug Peabody says the best thing he ever found was a $20 bill. Otherwise, most of the items don’t stand out — flowers, playing cards, plane tickets.

“I’m not very intrigued by it, unless it’s a $20 bill,” said Peabody.

Even with hardiness change, it’s tricky to grow here

www.bendbulletin.com/athome

HOME

BEYOND THE BED

By Liz Douville For The Bulletin

If you felt a sudden change in atmospheric pressure around Jan. 25, it was Central Oregon’s long-time gardeners gasping at the news release of the newly revised U.S. Department of Agriculture Cold-Hardiness Zones.

The USDA Cold-Hardiness map is the Holy Grail of gardeners. Most of us have moved here from other areas and as true gardeners, GARDEN we checked which zone Bend was in accordance with the USDA map. That was what helped guide our plant decisions until we learned lessons the hard way and really understood Central Oregon weather.

As defined by Oregon State University’s “Central Oregon Climate and how it relates to gardening,” revised July 2009 and authored by Amy Jo Detweiler, a Horticulture faculty member, “the term hardiness refers to the ability of a plant to withstand an average minimum temperature.”

Prior to the revised map, Central Oregon was classified in Zone 5; minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 10 degrees. The new map puts Bend in Zone 6b; minus 5 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees. Included in the 6b zone are Madras, Prineville and Redmond.

As a point of reference, this puts these communities in the same zone (6-7) that Portland was in on the previous map.

La Pine, Sisters and Sunriver have been upgraded to Zone 6a, which is minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 5 degrees.

The Sunset Western Garden Book is a popular reference book that also features a series of climate zone maps. Its information is climate driven, not hardiness driven. Its zone numbers would not be used on plant tags or in horticultural information other than publications from Sunset Publishing.

This is the first revision to the USDA map since 1990. The new map uses weather data collected from 1976 to 2005. You can view and download the map at http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb. The site is searchable

by ZIP code. Expert meteorologists seem to agree that the new version shows warmer zones migrating northeast.

Catherine Woteki, an undersecretary of the Department of Agriculture, cautioned against reading too much into the changes.

“We do not think the plant hardiness zone methodology is appropriate for making comments on climate change,” she said.

• How to display a quilt collection for best effect

By Linda Turner Griepentrog For The Bulletin

Whether you’re a quilt maker, an avid collector or both, there is a limit to how many beds you have in the house to bedeck with these textile treasures. It’s a dilemma — you want to enjoy these quilts and not keep them shuttered in a dark closet waiting for “someday” when the time is right to bring them out of hiding. But what’s a fabric lover to do?

The answer? Use them in some unexpected places beyond the bed.

On the wall Quilts as art have come into their own recently; they’re on par with prized paintings collected worldwide. Since quilts come in myriad sizes and shapes, it’s important to find the justright location for display.

A large quilt can be the focal point in an entryway or over a sofa, or it can hang high on a multi-story wall.

Like any art, the colors should be compatible with the room’s decor and the size proportionate to the other furnishings.

Many quilt owners like to rotate their collection seasonally, swapping out fall foliage for some wintry snowflakes and on to spring flowers.

Marilyn Ulrich, owner of the Bend store QuiltWorks, notes, “I have beige walls in most rooms, so I can change out the quilts monthly or at least seasonally, and enjoy my collection during the year. The hangers remain in place; I just swap the quilts out.”

A stairwell provides the perfect venue for a grouping of small quilts going up the wall — much like an artist’s gallery — and they’re easily accessible for changing.

All these recipes; now it’s time to get them organized

Recipes Continued from F1

Categorize clippings in binders Get three-ring binders, plastic page protectors and file folders. Now you’re ready to tackle a pile of paper recipes and clippings.

“The recipes that are most difficult to organize are the ones that are all different sizes, anything from index cards to magazine clippings. We stand by the three-ring binder idea because you can organize any recipe: just slip it into a plastic (page protector) sleeve,” Appenbrink said in an interview from her office in New York City.

Organize by what you cook Organize the binder by how you tend to cook. If you cook a lot of weeknight meals, have a section for that category. If you like to entertain, make sure those recipes are all together.

Appenbrink told us her most important section is for the recipes she cooks the most.

“I have a section of go-to recipes that I cook a lot, and need to glance at, but don’t need to follow carefully. Put all of those together so you have them at your fingertips,

and then organize the rest by course so you can easily find ‘side dishes’ and ‘desserts,’” Appenbrink said.

File box or drawer Keep your completed threering binder of most-used recipes in the kitchen, and use a plastic or metal file box or a cardboard banker’s box, or designate a filing cabinet drawer, for other recipe files, divided into categories that make sense to you.

Create an index To find what you’ve filed and organized, create a separate index.

“It can be on your computer, or put an index card on one of the binders so you can find the recipes as you need them.

If you have a great fettuccine Alfredo recipe, make a note on the index list where it is, so you’ll be able to find it again,” Appenbrink said. If the recipe is in a book or magazine, simply mark down the page number on your index.

Make cookbooks more useful Use book darts (metal page markers like those at www .bookdarts.com) to mark the page in a cookbook when you find an appealing recipe. A

marker on the top of a page could signify “must try,” and one on the side could mean “maybe,” or come up with a system that works for you.

“Colored Post-It flags work well, or turn down the top corner of the page, or the bottom corner. Consider checking cookbooks out of the library before buying them. If you’re going to make 75 percent of the recipes, buy it. If not, photocopy or scan or type up the recipes you like and keep them organized in your binder or online or in a computer file,” said Appenbrink.

If you have too many cookbooks that you aren’t using, scan or copy the few recipes you like, file them in a binder, and donate the cookbooks or pass them onto a fellow cookbook lover, suggests Real Simple.com.

Organize with social media Pinterest (www.pinterest .com) is Appenbrink’s current favorite online organizer for many areas of her life. It’s a virtual pin board that organizes and shares a wide range of favorites.

“It’s really great because I can look at food recipes from RealSimple.com, and tons of other sites and blogs, and can

save and add the link to one of my Pinterest boards.

“I tend to be a visual person, so you can scroll through and see all the recipes you’ve wanted to try, and it links back to the original webpage. It’s also great for recipe discovery.

You can start following other people and see what friends and co-workers are trying, and it’s a good way to share recipes that way,” Appenbrink said.

Save recipes online Appenbrink likes Evernote (www.evernote.com) for saving web pages and recipes. It works on multiple devices and computers.

“You clip a webpage and can save a recipe and photo, and you can add tags to it so it’s easier to search. You can organize recipes by categories. They also have an app called Evernote Food so you can take photos of your food and pair your photo with the recipe. It helps you remember, and you can note, ‘We had this when so and so came over for dinner. It was great, but don’t make it again for that person,’” she said.

Appenbrink suggested keeping an eye on My Reci, a new website where you can store all of your recipes, from

Preserved lemons brighten a stir-fry New York Times News Service

all sources, in one place. They have a video tutorial describing their system at www.my reci.com. Users can load recipes from websites or blogs with one click. Recipes can then be sorted and organized.

Make your own cookbook Websites like Tastebook (www.tastebook.com) allow you to make your own personalized cookbook, complete with photos. It’s a more elegant, professional (and expensive) alternative to the three-ring binder.

“It’s a great idea, especially for graduation gifts, wedding gifts, anytime you want to pass along recipes, like at family reunions,” Appenbrink said.

Create a system and use it For people who love to cook, keeping track of recipes is always going to be a challenge, because the recipes never stop coming at us.

“With the proliferation of people sharing their recipes online, there are so many more we’re bombarded with.

If you love cooking, there’s so much to sift through. Oh my gosh, I want to try this, and this. To make life easier, it’s all about finding the organization system that works for you,” Appenbrink said.

A jar of preserved lemons sitting in the fridge is a boon for the busy cook. Chopped up and tossed into salads, stews and sautés, they add a bright, nuanced burst of flavor in one speedy step — as long as you happen to have some on hand.

If you don’t, you could whip up a batch and let it cure for a week. Or you could go out and buy a jar, which, unless you happen to live near a Middle Eastern grocery, could involve a subway, car or bus ride.

Both options negate the quick and effortless part of the equation.

There is, however, another possibility that takes 10 minutes: making your own quick lemon preserve, or lemon pickle.

Instead of letting the ageold combination of salt and time tame the bitterness of lemon pith by themselves, heat and sugar speed the process along, pickling the citrus in minutes. Just blanch a thinly sliced lemon to remove some of its bite, then simmer it again in a pot of heavily sugared and salted water. You’ll end up with lemon slivers that are at once salty, sweet, sour and bitter.

This technique works particularly well with Meyer lemons, which are sweeter and milder than regular lemons and generally contain less bitter pith beneath the rind. Regular lemons can work too, but blanch them in plain water twice before simmering them in the sugar-salt mixture.

For this stir-fry, I brown the slices, then mix them with nuggets of chicken, aromatic fresh rosemary and plenty of tender, melting leeks. It makes a hearty dish that takes well less than an hour to throw together — pickling time included.

Sautéed Chicken with Meyer Lemon And Rosemary Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Makes 8 servings.

Note: Adapted from Bob Heilman’s Beachcomber Restaurant in Clearwater, Fla. The restaurant uses Eagle Brand condensed milk in the recipe and serves the pie topped with whipped cream, though meringue can be substituted. Make the pie using a prepared crust; the restaurant recommends a “short” pastry crust. As it says, “A graham cracker crust is inappropriate.”

4 egg yolks, beaten 2 C condensed milk 2 ⁄3 C Key lime juice (from about 1 lb of Key limes) Zest from 1 Key lime

1 pre-baked (8- to 9-inch) pie shell, preferably a short crust Whipped cream or meringue, for topping

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and condensed milk until combined. Mix in the lime juice and zest until thoroughly combined. This makes a scant 3 cups of filling.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and place the pie in the oven.

Bake just until the filling is set and jiggles only slightly when tapped, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool on a rack, then refrigerate the pie, uncovered, until completely set, preferably overnight.

Top as desired and serve.

11⁄2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1⁄2 -inch strips 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp minced rosemary Kosher salt 1 ⁄2 tsp black pepper 11⁄2 Meyer lemons 2 TBS sugar 2 leeks, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper.

Trim the ends from 1 lemon, quarter lengthwise and remove the seeds. Slice quarters crosswise into 1⁄8 -inch slices.

Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the lemon slices, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain under cold running water. Rinse out the pot and refill it with 1 cup water, the sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil. Drop in the blanched lemon slices and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain under cold running water, pat dry.

Heat a skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil. It should start to shimmer immediately; add the lemon slices and stir-fry quickly until golden. Stir in the leeks and reduce heat to medium-high.

Cook until leeks are soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Push the leek mixture to one side of the skillet; stir in the chicken mixture and sear, without moving, about 4 minutes. Mix in the leeks and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, about 3 to 6 minutes more.

Drizzle with juice from the remaining lemon half, to taste.

FOOD FOR A POTLUCK

Cazuelas before they were upper crust

By Patricia Jinich Special to The Washington Post

Every few months, my family gets together with a Latin group of friends and their families for a potluck.

This winter it was our turn.

As tradition goes, the host brings the main dishes to the table and the others bring the rest. I eagerly announced my plans to share Mexican casseroles, also called cazuelas, budines or pasteles. The Mexicans couldn’t hide their joy — “Pati! De veras? Budin Azteca? Cazuela de Tamal?!”

— and quickly thought of other “very” Mexican sides to pair with them. The Argentines and Costa Ricans tried to understand what “Mexican casserole” meant and whether it was supposed to be any good.

The Americans in the group (though they consider themselves Latin) were clearly not excited about it.

No doubt about it, casseroles have had their ups and downs in culinary history. Their weakest stand seems to have been in the United States, after being fashioned into “twostep-many-can” versions in the 1930s and ’40s. But think of all the bright stars in the casserole universe: French cocottes enveloped in mother sauces; British potpies encrusting fillings as wet as British weather; irresistible Italian lasagnas layered with pasta; Greek spanakopitas with an extra-savory cheese-spinach mix covered in phyllo dough; and the not-so-well-known, yet gloriously

tasty Mexican cazuelas.

The first version of a Mexican casserole seems to have been the muk-bil (literally, “to put in the ground”). Made by the Mayans on the Yucatan Peninsula since pre-Hispanic times, it is the King Kong of tamales. Truly gigantic. The corn dough wraps around a filling of turkey (after the Spanish arrived, chicken and pork were used as well) rubbed with a pungent paste seasoned with achiote (annatto) seeds, spices and tomatoes. It resembles the flavors of cochinita pibil, a robust Yu c a t a n dish.

Other tamal c a s serole s throughout Mexico have regional spins, ingredients and salsas.

Just across the border in neighboring American states, tamal pie recipes appeared in cookbooks at least a hundred years ago. They called for cornmeal rather than fresh corn masa; the former leads to a much grainier and less fluffy result.

Meaty tamal casserole is a hearty, filling dish with a sturdy crust and a savory-sweet meat filling.

Mushroom and Rice Casserole Makes 8 to 10 servings.

That w a s probably because making masa from scratch involves the ancient nixtamalization process, which takes days (drying, soaking, cooking and grinding) to treat corn so that its nutritious content is fully exploited. It makes a masa so soft that it is practically airy.

Today, outstanding instant masa flour that has already gone through that process is widely available, so it’s a snap to put together a real tamal casserole at home.

Here is my go-to version: The masa dough is set in two thick layers that hold a rich and baroque filling, typical of the Mexican colonial era, when nuns used to combine Spanish and Mexican ingredients in their convent

kitchens.

Just like a tamal casserole is a giant version of a tamal, a tortilla casserole is like a hefty stack of open-face tacos with layers of sauce and cheese. Taco elements are layered in a cazuela, or earthenware pot. That takes away the hassle of making individual portions and allows for endless filling possibilities, just as with tacos and tamales.

The most popular casserole of them all has an imperial name: Aztec. It is traditionally made with corn tortillas, as they are much more resilient than flour tortillas. Think of a lasagna gone way down south, soaked in a spiced-up tomato sauce with handfuls of exuberant, fruity, addictive roasted poblano peppers and crunchy, sweet corn.

Chicken and Tortilla Aztec Casserole (Cazuela Azteca) Makes 8 to 10 servings.

FOR THE DOUGH: 11⁄4 C vegetable shortening or lard 1 tsp kosher or coarse sea salt 2 tsp baking powder 11⁄2 lbs (about 5 C) corn masa flour for tortillas or tamales, such as Maseca brand 41⁄2 C homemade or no-saltadded chicken broth (may substitute water) FOR THE FILLING: 8 dried guajillo chili peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded 8 dried ancho chili peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded 2 C hot water, or as needed 1 tsp dried oregano 5 whole cloves 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the dough: Place the vegetable shortening or lard in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until it is light and airy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the salt and baking powder; on low speed, gradually add the corn masa flour and the broth in alternating additions, making sure each time that the addition is well incorporated. Beat for about 10 minutes to form a masa dough that is homogeneous and fluffy. Let the dough sit at room temperature while you make the filling.

For the filling: Heat a comal (tortilla griddle) or skillet over medium heat.

Add the guajillo and ancho peppers; toast them for about 15 seconds per side, until they become more pliable, lightly toasted and fragrant and their inner skin turns opaque. Transfer to a medium saucepan and cover with at least 2 cups of hot water. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes or until the peppers have rehydrated, plumped up and softened.

Transfer the peppers and 2 cups of the liquid to a blender and add the oregano, cloves, cinnamon and cumin. Remove the center knob from the blender lid and cover the opening with a dish towel to contain splash-ups.

Puree to form a smooth sauce. The yield is 21⁄2 to 23⁄4 cups.

Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the onions are cooked through and beginning to brown at the edges. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, less than a minute, then add the ground meat, salt and black pepper. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and using a spoon to break up the meat, until it has lightly browned. Add the sauce, the broth, raisins, almonds and olives, stirring to combine; reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes. Uncover, stir and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use a little vegetable oil to grease a 9by-13-inch baking dish or the equivalent.

Spoon half of the prepared masa dough into the dish, forming a bit of a lip on the sides and gently leveling it out; don’t press hard. Spoon all of the meat filling on top. Cover evenly with the remaining dough. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour or until the masa is completely cooked and the top appears to be firm. Remove from the oven and let it sit, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the tomato puree, oregano, bay leaf and salt and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and darkens in color. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf.

For the tortillas: Cover a large plate or baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Pour the oil into a medium 10-inch skillet to a depth of 1⁄4 inch (about 1 cup). Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 2 to 3 minutes. Working with one tortilla at a time, use a pair of tongs to pass the tortilla through the oil for 10 to 15 seconds per side; this will make it pliable and resistant to the sauce. The tortilla will first appear to be softening and then will become barely crisp, and its color will darken. Drain on the paper towels.

To assemble: Spread one-third of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9by-13-inch baking dish or the equivalent. Cover with half of the cooked chicken, half of the corn, half of the poblanos and one-third of the cream and cheese.

Top with half of the tortillas, tearing them into large pieces if needed to make an even layer without much overlap. Repeat, adding one-third of the tomato sauce; the remaining half of the cooked chicken, corn and poblanos; and onethird of the cream and cheese. Top with a layer of the remaining tortillas, the remaining one-third of the sauce and the remaining cream and cheese.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid or foil and bake for 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and the cheese has melted. Serve hot.

Notes: To create rajas, or strips, char or roast the chilies, either by placing them under the broiler or directly on a grill or hot skillet. Roast for 6 to 9 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until they are charred and blistered but not burned. Immediately place in a plastic bag; close the bag tightly and cover with a kitchen towel; this will facilitate skinning. One by one, remove each chili from the bag, peel off the skin and lightly rinse the chili with water. Cut out the stem and cut each pepper in half. Remove and discard the seeds, then cut the peppers into strips 1⁄2-inch wide and an inch long.

Frozen corn will make the dish watery if it is not precooked to remove moisture. First, defrost the corn completely. Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter; when it has melted, add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

H Quilts

Sleeveless?

Continued from F1

Getting the hang of it Hanging a quilt on the wall is a simple process if the quilt has a “sleeve” on the back.

This narrow fabric channel makes it easy to slide in a decorative curtain rod to support the quilt while it hangs.

The rod can have ornamental finials on the ends, or be a simple straight version just long enough to sit in wall-mounted brackets. On very large quilts, a heavier pipe may be used to prevent sagging.

Another option for hanging is to mount a rod or wire on the wall and use clip-on curtain rings across the quilt top. Or, mount a rod on the wall using brackets and simply drape the quilt over the extended rod. A rod-mounted quilt makes a great bed headboard.

Depending on its size, a quilt can also be framed (with or without matting) and hung as if it were a picture, either with or without a visible hanger.

Whatever method you use to hang a quilt on the wall, it’s imperative that the fabric weight is supported to avoid distortion and stress on the fibers. This is especially important when showcasing antique quilts, which are sometimes fragile from age.

Not all quilts are bed size, and smaller quilts are often made with freestanding corner pockets on the underside.

A wooden dowel cut to length can be inserted into the pockets to support the quilt for hanging on wall-mounted hooks hidden behind the quilt.

Small quilts can be hung individually or in groupings and are often held in place just with straight pins hidden on the backside.

A variety of quilt hanging devices can be used for wall mounted display. Ackfeld Wire (www.ackfeldwire.com) offers shaped metal hangers in multiple styles and themes. Hang It Dang It (www.hangitdangit .com) sells a magnetic hanging system using only a single nail in the wall. Several companies offer shaped wooden hangers with a clamping system to hold the quilt in place.

Remember, quilts don’t have to be hung straight — they can be hung angled, draped or folded, depending on the background space.

Wherever you display a quilt on the wall, be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid fiber damage from UV rays.

Off the wall In addition to hanging quilts on the wall, there are many other ways to display them throughout your home.

Anna Bates, owner of lo-

If you have a quilt without a sleeve and you want to hang it with a rod, cut a piece of fabric similar to the quilt backing 5 inches wide and 1 inch shorter than the quilt width. Turn under the short ends ½ inch and stitch or fuse in place.

Press under the long edges of the sleeve ½ inch. Center and pin the sleeve across the back of the quilt, just below the finished binding.

Hand stitch the long edges in place securely through the quilt backing, being careful that stitches don’t go through to the quilt front.

Ready-made sleeves can also be purchased from Quilters Hangup (www .quiltershangup.com), and can then be hand stitched in place.

— Linda Turner Griepentrog

cal shop Woolie Mammoth Quilt Designs, and local blogger (www.wooliemammoth .blogspot.com), encourages people to keep quilts out on display and enjoy them in many ways. She said, “Quilts are made to be used, enjoyed and loved, not stored. I even use them as table coverings and we eat on them.”

A wooden quilt stand, available in many styles from traditional to contemporary, can hold one or more quilts for viewing. Simply fold the quilt over the support rung in an attractive manner to showcase the piecing or stitching you love.

Small quilts or quilt blocks can be tabletop features when hung from a small vertical rack. The easiest way is to sew a small sleeve on the underside and support the quilt with a dowel spanning the rack’s vertical supports.

Large quilts can be used to cover sofas or chairs, or hung on tracks to create room dividers in an expansive area.

They can also be folded and placed at the foot of the bed, doing double duty as decoration and extra blanket.

Many of today’s decorators (and hotels) are using skinny quilts as so-called bed banners — narrow, colorful quilts draped across the end of the bed over another covering.

Use rectangular quilts as bench covers, table toppers or basket liners. They’re perfect under glass to decorate a coffee table, while still protecting the quilt.

Don’t forget about windows as a display area. Quilts can double as curtains, valances and tie-backs, or be used to cover a cornice board.

“Quilts are made to be used, enjoyed and loved, not stored. I even use them as table coverings and we eat on them,” local quilter Anna Bates says.

Anna Bates owns the local shop Woolie Mammoth Quilt Designs and blogs at www.wooliemammoth.blogspot.com.

Bates’ home in Bend shows a variety of ways to display quilts, from hanging to draping over a bannister or the back of a bench to rolled up and stored.

Use quilts in the bathroom for a shower curtain. There’s no damage to the quilt — just hang it with clip-on rings and add a clear vinyl liner to pre-

vent waterlogging.

If you have many quilts to display in a single area, a ladder rack may be the answer.

With individual rungs, sev-

eral quilts can be draped in a small footprint.

Simply draping quilts over stair banisters is an easy way to showcase them, and you can change them out on a whim.

Small quilts or blocks can also be used to cover pillow fronts or seat cushions on wooden chairs or stools. It’s easy to hand stitch them to an existing pillow or cushion surface.

Should you run out of room to display your collection, and it’s necessary to put some “away,” consider folding them with the decorative side out and stacking in a glass-front shelving unit. They’ll be dust free and can still be enjoyed while they’re awaiting their turn for an outing.

Don’t forget a covered porch, patio or entry court-

yard as a display area.

Themed quilts add interest to outdoor gatherings. While sun and weather can damage fabrics over time, short displays aren’t harmful. If you hang a quilt outdoors for a long period, or indoors with consistent sun exposure, you can prolong its life by using a UV spray protectant.

When you’re a quilt-maker, you have endless opportunities to showcase quilts in your decorating, as Vicki Jensen, owner of BJ’s Quilt Basket notes. “You’re not limited by ready-made decor items; just purchase fabric and create whatever your vision is for your decorating needs — from traditional to contemporary to country — there are no boundaries.”

DETROIT — Make way for the woman cave? The craft den?

Perhaps there is no catchy moniker yet. But Birmingham, Mich.-based interior designer Michelle Mio says that more of her female clients are staking out a room or nook in their home just for them.

No husbands, kids or sticky fingers allowed.

Whether they are used for sewing, scrapbooking or just paying bills, the rooms women want are typically private, pretty and functional, Mio says.

“With the workload women carry at home, they need a space that is organized and one that they can call their own,” Mio says. “It seems imperative with our clients to be able to find things in a moment’s notice. A space that can accommodate anything from a kid’s daily schedule to bill paying is growing in trend.”

More than 80 years ago, writer Virginia Woolf penned the essay, “A Room of One’s Own,” about how women, especially those who want to practice a form of creativity, need a place to do it. In 2012,

given the explosion of the handmade and creative arts movements, many women are finding that as true as ever.

Here, two women share the spaces they have taken over in their homes to fulfill their creative pursuits.

Custom-designed for scrapbooking Alison Oleshansky, 38, of Birmingham, Mich., hired Mio and her design team from Rariden Schumacher Mio Interior Design to decorate her entire home. The space that presented a big question mark? Two adjoining closets in the basement.

Oleshansky didn’t need them. And so her scrapbooking room was born.

The room features a few statement-makers. The floor is a glittery light pink. The back wall is dressed in a bright pink, large-scale damask print that’s velvety to the touch. A light metallic wallpaper covers the other walls.

Four crystal chandeliers gleam from the ceiling and cast a pretty but bright light on the space; it’s good for the creative work Oleshansky wants to do.

A waist-high, custom-made

rolling table fills the middle of the room. Surrounded by four white leather bar stools with pink trim, it’s the nerve center where the creative work happens. The tabletop — white and shimmery — is made of recycled materials, including bits of mirror.

“Everything sparkles,” says Dayna Rasschaert, an interior designer who worked on the room.

The custom white cabinets and drawers — 26 of them — provide room to organize everything.

“I love that I can have everything out and not have to box things up or spread them out on the floor in another room,” says Oleshansky, who also works as a consultant for the scrapbooking supply company Creative Memories. “I just love it in here, it’s so bright. It’s a happy room.”

Room for pretty packages When they bought their home in 2006, Mike and Elise Hindelang had no set purpose for the all-beige, dull-looking suite that makes up the entire third floor of their 1939-built French Colonial in Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.

But soon, a thought dawned

on Elise Hindelang: She’d love a space devoted solely to gift wrapping.

“Otherwise I’d be wrapping gifts on the guest bed, making a mess,” Hindelang, 32, says.

“Here, I can make a mess and, if I need to, I can just shut the door and leave it there.”

Over a two-month period, with some help from family, the Hindelangs turned the space into a lively light-green and soft-pink haven for stamping, wrapping and making bows. And they did it without breaking the bank, estimating that the entire renovation came in around $2,000.

A polka-dot wallpaper set the tone for the color scheme and design plan, says Hindelang, a mother of two. She also painted the ceiling and trim a crisp white and splurged on a $350 green-and-pink area rug from Pottery Barn Kids.

The rest of the room was completed in a thrifty manner: IKEA furniture and bins and baskets from places like Marshall’s.

The couple made the craft table out of two IKEA nightstands, a door they salvaged from a previous home and a floor-model hutch that Elisa Hindelang spotted on clearance at Bombay Co.

OREGON’S NEW-LOOK HARDINESS ZONES

Continued from F1 I can understand how gardeners and professionals living in more stable climates than ours could be excited about the changes.

Woodrow Nelson, director of marketing communications for the Arbor Day Foundation, relates that members have been noticing climate changes for years and have been successfully growing new kinds of trees in places they wouldn’t grow before.

My mind boggles at the print changes that need to be made for next year. Think of all the catalogs, seed packets, manuals, books, fact sheets and the informative handouts that are so freely given at gardening events. Maybe all the reissuing of materials will be the economic turnaround we are all looking for.

Local changes?

Now it’s time to get practical and realistic. In other words, how is all this going to apply to Central Oregon gardeners?

According to the OSU “Central Oregon Climate” publication, “Hardiness ratings or zones are intended to be used only as a guide, not as absolute for plant selection and survivability. Especially being the case, here in Central Oregon where we have several microclimates.”

Our new rating, which pushed us into a warmer zone, does not mean we have to change what we’re growing or that we can successfully grow the plants that do well on the west side of the state.

Many environmental factors contribute to the success of plant material. Wind, soil type, soil moisture, humidity, pollu-

tion, snow and winter sunshine can make or break success or failure of plant material. Add to all of those factors the untimely frosts that can sweep over the High Desert area.

All of these factors are different on the east side and the west side of the state and changing a zone number doesn’t necessarily mean we will have success.

Lack of snow (soil moisture)

F5

and strong desiccating winter winds are our worst enemies as may be evident when spring arrives and we can access any winter damage. Many gardeners this winter have carried buckets of water to protect fall planted perennials and other landscape materials. Our soil, unless it has been amended, does not hold moisture; so even in a normal winter with snow cover, the winds can dehydrate

plant material.

When we moved to Central Oregon in 1978, my husband headed back to Alaska for a three-week work stint with the Stark Bro’s Nurseries catalog and a blank check tucked in his briefcase.

He chose a plethora of dwarf fruit trees, all precisely chosen for the Hardiness Zone 5, which we had researched. By the time the saplings arrived,

the underground watering system was in place; all the bells and whistles were done according to the book. We dreamed of an orchard filled with peaches, pears, apples and pie cherries.

Marvin Young, the extension agent, somehow heard about the crazy Alaskans and drove up the long drive of our Tumalo farm for a look and a chat.

We received kudos for spacing, and planting but a mild warning that the sage rats would probably take an experimental bite out of the flexible underground watering system.

Then Young really burst our bubble.

Young explained that Central Oregon weather, with its damaging unexpected frosts hitting the trees at critical bud and blossom stages, would likely kill off any fruit production. He was right on. Three years later — out of $500 worth of trees — we ended up with one pie cherry. Not one tree, but one cherry and, to add insult to injury, the birds had attacked that. The blooming orchard was enjoyed each year for probably three or four days before the frost hit and blackened the blossoms. We always hoped that the sage rats got a good bellyache from nibbling.

I am sure there are hundreds of similar stories in the area of forging ahead thinking we know what we are doing.

We need to totally understand Central Oregon weather, and a change in a number doesn’t give me and many others I have talked to a great deal of confidence. You still need to know how gardening works here.

I’m happy for the gardeners in Boston who can start growing fig trees as reported and that camellias will now be moving north from New Orleans for plantings in North Carolina.

Experiment to your heart’s content; that is the joy of gardening. But don’t feel like a failure if the big-leafed semitropical plants grown in Portland end up being a disaster here.

Bored? Go ahead and seed for yourself

By Ad rian Higgins

Seed sources

The Washington Post

This is the time of year when gardeners get an itch to do something to mark the lengthening days and the promise of a new growing season. One response is to fuss with seeds: selecting, buying, sowing.

You can wait until early spring and buy commercially grown transplants and have a perfectly fine garden of vegetables, herbs and annuals. But there are valid and noble reasons to get into seed starting, which I do with a homemade four-shelf apparatus that so far hasn’t collapsed. The seed trays go under standard four-foot double shop lights, suspended on chains so I can raise them as the seedlings grow.

One reason to do this is for the sheer pleasure of it; another, though, is the luxury of choice. Even as the transplant offerings have become much richer in recent years, the seed market will take you to a more varied and interesting universe.

You can, and should, start onions and leeks in February, along with kale, kohlrabi and perhaps a lovely cabbage such as Mammoth Red Rock.

I’ve seen that other cabbage relative, cauliflower, fail too often in erratic spring to want to bother with it. I am still digging from the garden a variety of leek I started a year ago. Named Tadorna, it stays firm and blue, beautifully blue, through the cold months. This year, I am trying a hybrid named Megaton, said to be tall but thick and resistant to bulbing at the base.

We’ll see.

As for onions, I like to cultivate lesser onions in my garden, not least for the ornament of the upright, tubular leaves. Among others, I grew Red Robin last season, pretty but on the small side. This year I’m going for an onion ensemble that includes Red Marble and a bunching spring onion named Guardsman.

The next wave of seedstarting should be given over to the pepper, which is slow to germinate and grow and should be sown before its cousin, the tomato. Peppers are the most handsome of the nightshade veggies, but I don’t

ferreting around the garden shed for an odd assortment of little plastic pots, three inches across. This is a sure sign of a restless gardener anticipating, just, the stirrings of a new season.

The pepper seed is slow to germinate and grow and should be sown before its cousin, the tomato. Three varieties worth growing include, from left, Tangerine Dream (sweet peppers that are tasty but almost too pretty to pick), Costa Rican Sweet pepper (looks fiery, but is really mildmannered) and Golden Baby Belle (its fruit is svelter and more abundant than a bell pepper’s).

like absurdly hot chili peppers and wouldn’t waste time and space growing them. I love bell peppers, but the yield is too low per plant and the wait too long for fully ripe and colorful specimens. This year, I am in search of something in the middle, an eye-catching, bushy plant with attractive fruit that a Celt such as myself can stomach.

This quest has drawn me to a number of varieties. Burpee is offering Golden Baby Belle, little orange peppers that look midway between a bell and something more tapered. The red Costa Rican Sweet resembles the classic heirloom Marconi, but stouter. Marconi, by the way, is a fine heirloom. Joe Brunetti, who grows the Smithsonian’s Victory Garden on the Mall, loves the similar Corno di Toro (bull’s horn), productive for weeks and particularly sweet when allowed to ripen fully to red.

He also commends Sweet Banana, another sweet pepper that looks like a chili pepper. It is pretty, too, turning from yellow to orange to red.

It sweetens as it darkens. Brunetti and his colleague Cindy Brown favor an antique variety named Jimmy Nardello.

Slender, curved and red, it looks an especially hot devil but is mild and abundant.

Compact, small leaf peppers function as decorative plants, looking good in the

wilting sun of August when everything else is flagging. I have a spot for something ornamental in a pot. Tangerine Dream is pretty and sweet, but I must say I also like varieties of limited use to the cook.

Prairie Fire grows to just 12 inches and is studded with conspicuous little peppers that age from cream to orange to red. Sangria is loaded with larger fruit, purple to red, and is tempting indeed, even if a packet of 30 little seeds sells for 18 cents a seed.

At that price, you’d like near total germination. What would you do with 30 pepper plants? They’d make a great decorative edge or a low hedge in the garden plot.

Brown and Brunetti recommend a seed-starting heat mat for peppers. This is essentially a plug-in warming pad that goes beneath seed trays to raise soil temperatures. Most seeds will sprout happily in a room in the upper 60s, but the pepper likes the extra 10 or 15 degrees to allow quick germination and robust root and top growth before going out into the garden in early May. “It’s going to grow much better,” said Brunetti. “The bottom heat is very, very helpful.” Okay, Joe, I’ll get a heat mat.

Peppers and other seedlings also need the light source to be kept close to the seedlings, no more than six inches. I start

seeds in soil blocks about an inch cubed, though most folks use cells called plug flats.

When the seedlings outgrow these, after about three or four weeks, they must be repotted to larger containers so they can grow bigger before they

see the garden. Leeks, onion, and cabbages can be planted in April. Wait until early May before planting the peppers.

Beef ratatouille, with the aid of a food processor

By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

a sharp knife and then use the processor to slice all the vegetables quickly and uniformly.

This is a very hearty and tasty dish — just be sure you allow enough cooking time, at least 2 hours, for the meat to get good and tender.

She said it was RECIPE made with thinly sliced FINDER Recipe request Brenda Stup, of Ellibeef, eggplant, mushcott City, Md., would love rooms and zucchini.

Beef and Mushroom Ratatouille Makes 8 to 10 servings.

2½ lbs chilled or partially frozen boneless beef shoulder or chuck, sliced in pieces that will fit in a food processor’s tube opening (approx. 1½ by 2½ inches) ¼ C oil 3 med onions, peeled and quartered

1 clove garlic 1 can (28 oz) tomatoes 1 TBS oregano 2 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 1 lb fresh mushrooms 1 med eggplant, peeled 2 zucchinis, ends trimmed

With the slicing disc in position, process strips of beef into slices. Set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add half the beef slices and brown them on all sides over medium-high heat. Take care not to crowd the pan. Remove the browned slices; add the remaining oil and beef, and brown. Lift the browned meat from pan and set it aside.

With steel cutting blade in place, chop the onions and garlic mediumfine in the food processor. Add them to the drippings in the pan and sauté 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan, along with the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper. Break the tomatoes into chunks with a spoon. Heat beef mixture to boiling then reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1½ hours or until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally.

Rinse the mushrooms and cut off the tips of stem ends. With the slicing disc in place, process mushrooms. Peel the eggplant and process with the slicing disc. Process zucchini with the slicing disc. Add mushrooms, eggplant and zucchini to the beef mixture in pan. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

Growing all the year long MARTHA STEWART When I lived on Elm Place in Nutley, N.J., my father and I simulated a much-needed greenhouse environment in the only really sunny window in our house — a large picture window right above our kitchen table. Dad built out the sill so that it measured a bit more than a foot wide, installed fluorescent light bulbs directly above it and placed all the seedlings we would need for the vegetable garden on the shelf until it was time to plant them in the prepared beds. Dad always dreamed of having a real greenhouse, but with six children, college educations looming and a limited income, the windowsill greenhouse remained the reality.

I carried on that greenhouse dream, and when we moved into Turkey Hill in Westport, Conn., my husband and I constructed our own version from a Lord & Burnham kit, attaching it to the garage. I loved the space, the light and all the possibilities such a greenhouse offered, but I hoped that one day I would have a real working greenhouse, freestanding and well-engineered, that would provide me with the opportunity to grow seedlings, establish plant collections, and overwinter tropical, ornamental garden plants.

It was not until I bought my farm in Bedford, N.Y., that I had enough space to build such a glasshouse. I worked with an architect and a good greenhouse company to build what I hoped would be a modern structure but would resemble an old English plant conservatory.

The result is a wonderful 100-foot-long greenhouse with a real “head house,” or gardener’s house, attached, where supplies can be kept, seeds planted, soils mixed, and work desks and even a library of garden books housed. It is a very lively place nowadays, as

Even though the outdoor garden is covered with a late-winter snowfall, tender plants thrive inside the greenhouse. Special grow lights help strengthen the seedlings.

we perform seed planting in late winter. This is also the time when the orchids are in bloom and when the fancy-leaved begonias come into flower.

In April, all the forced bulbs start to bloom, and then May to September, the greenhouse quiets down, as many of the plants are put outside to enjoy the summer conditions. At that time, it is readied for another winter-storage period.

During winter, maintenance is done on every plant — repotting, dividing, disposing and rejuvenating. Greenhouse plant culture is an entirely different type of gardening from outdoor cultivation: Every plant species requires a different amount of light, moisture and heat. Some plants will thrive and others will not, depending not so much on technology as on the color of one’s thumb. Luckily, my thumb has become a pretty bright green over the years.

I love my greenhouse, and I love the relaxation and quietude it offers me when I step inside with a small pair of scissors, the dogs, and some time to putter, trim, prune and enjoy!

weeks before they will be transplanted outdoors.

1. Fill a clean tray with an organic soil-free seed-starting mix that has been moistened with water. I prefer a mix that’s one part milled peat moss and one part vermiculite, with some perlite. Make shallow indentations using a long side of a ruler or a paintmixing stick. This keeps the rows straight and neat. The depth depends on the type of seeds; follow the directions on the seed packet.

2. Place the individual seeds at the proper distance apart in their rows, following the directions on the packet.

3. Using the ruler or stick, carefully cover the seeds with planting material. Press the soil down lightly.

4. Using a watering can with a fine rose, give the trays a gentle soak, but do not overwater. Place the seed trays in a warm location, such as on a waterproof heating mat used for germination or on top of your refrigerator. When sprouts appear, move the seed trays to a sunny window or under a grow light so they will become strong and green.

Seed sowing indoors

Dividing pot-bound plants

To get a jump start on spring, I start seeds in the greenhouse

This is one of the simplest

(and least expensive) methods I know to increase the number of your favorite houseplants.

1. Slide the overgrown plant from its pot. If the plant has been in its container for a long time, it may seem stuck; gently loosen the sides by sliding a knife around the edge, just as you might with a cake, and it will come out more easily. Wearing gloves, gently pull the plantlets away from one another using your hands, being careful not to damage or bruise the leaves.

2. If the crown of the plant is very thick and unyielding, cut the sections apart with a garden knife. Make sure each new plantlet has its own robust root system.

3. Repot the plantlets immediately at the same depth they were before using potting soil and clean pots. Add a little slow-release fertilizer formulated for indoor plants near the roots. Water the soil thoroughly.

4. Several newly potted plants replace the one large original plant. You can keep a few and still have some to give to friends as gifts.

Tile, Stone, Grout, Clean & Seal How clean is your tile? Dirt and grime begin to absorb into the pores of grout.

Over time, the grout coloring becomes uneven which makes the entire floor look worn and dirty. Call Chem-Dry today and let our professional technicians extract the dirt and grime from your tile and stone surfaces. Our process also seals your tile and grout to resist mold, mildew and dirt.
