Supreme Court sides with Idaho couple seeking to challenge EPA

Bend Police Chief Jeff Sale estimates there are about 80,000 dogs in the city. With each one, he sees a sack of money.

On Wednesday, Sale presented a dog licensing and animal control plan to the Bend City Council that he believes can turn a $16,000 sinkhole into a $400,000 revenue stream.

It involves several facets, one of which is taking over licensing duties

from Deschutes County. Another involves making sure the Humane Society of Central Oregon doesn’t double-bill for impounding animals.

“What we’re trying to do is change the way we handle these animals and change the way we handle licensing in Bend,” Sale told the councilors.

There are around 8,800 licensed dogs in Bend. The county collects about $160,000 from the licensing fees and passes along $34,000 to the city.

STUCK IN A SANTIAM SLIDE

By Andrew Clevenger The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court sided unanimously Wednesday with an Idaho couple whose attempt to build a home near a lake sparked a legal battle with the Environmental Protection Agency, which halted construction on the grounds that the property contains wetlands.

The EPA slapped Mike and Chantell Sackett with a compliance order in 2007 after they broke ground Inside on a .63-acre residential lot in a • More developed subdivision next to Supreme Priest Lake, Idaho. In grading Court the lot before they built their rulings, home, the EPA argued, the A4 Sacketts disturbed a wetlands connected to a larger water system protected under the Clean Water Act. The agency ordered them to restore the property to its previous state.

The court on Wednesday faulted the federal government for denying the couple an opportunity to challenge the EPA’s decision in court. The only options available to the Sacketts were to comply with the EPA’s demands or wait for the agency to sue — and fine — them.

Writing for the court, Justice Antonin Scalia noted that “there is no reason to think that the Clean Water Act was uniquely designed to enable the strong-arming of regulated parties into ‘voluntary compliance’ without the opportunity for judicial review — even judicial review of the question whether the regulated party is within the EPA’s jurisdiction.”

MEXICO CITY — Mexico has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world. If any of the nation’s 112 million citizens want to buy firearms, there’s only one store where they can do it legally. It’s on a sprawling military base and run by the army.

That, however, hasn’t stopped Mexicans from acquiring firearms. The country is awash in illegal guns, many of them assault weapons in the hands of merciless criminal gangs. President Felipe Calderon says authorities have seized more than 140,000 weapons since he came to office in late 2006.

Many of them, Mexican officials assert, were purchased in the United States.

Nothing highlights the cultural and legal differences between Mexico and the United States as starkly as Mexico’s lone gun shop,

Mexico has exactly one gun shop where you can legally buy a firearm. It’s on a military base in Mexico City, and it sells about 8,000 weapons a year, mostly small-caliber handguns.

WASHINGTON — The Postal Service, which has proposed closing 3,700 offices, is setting up services inside small grocery stores as it tries to maintain service while trimming billions of dollars in costs.

The agency has been losing $35.7 million a day, and 85 percent of its 32,000 offices do not make enough to cover their expenses. So it is hoping that working with retailers to put stamps and a modicum of mailing services alongside beer and lottery tickets will help put a dent in its growing deficit.

The Postal Service has long allowed retailers to sell postage. But now it is arranging to provide some basic mailing services in stores in rural areas like Brant, Mich., a town of just more than 2,000 about 30 miles southwest of Saginaw.

The post office there closed last year because it did not have a postmaster and another post office was nearby.

By William J. Broad New York Times News Service

For centuries, the daredevils known as submariners have slipped beneath the waves in vehicles made for horizontal travel. Their craft are basically underwater ships. Even submersibles, small vessels that dive unusually deep, follow the horizontal plan.

Until now.

In a stroke, James Cameron has upended the field — literally and figuratively. A man known for imaginative films (“Titanic,” “Avatar”), he has reinvented the way that people explore the deep ocean.

This month, Cameron unveiled his unique submersible and announced plans to ride it solo into the planet’s deepest recess, the Challenger Deep in the western Pacific, nearly seven miles down. Cameron, now near the Challenger Deep in the expedition’s ship, is awaiting calm seas to go ahead.

He calls it a vertical torpedo.

The axis of his 24-foot-long craft is upright rather than horizontal, speeding the plunge. His goal is to fall and rise as quickly as possible so he can maximize his time investigating the dark seabed. He wants to prowl the bottom for six hours.

“It’s very clever,” said Alfred McLaren, a retired Navy submariner who helps run a company that makes submersibles.

“Nobody has done this kind of thing before. It’s a great idea, a tremendous idea.”

He likened Cameron to “an underwater Steve Jobs — difficult to get along with but very creative.”

“He’s driven,” McLaren went on. “He put together a hell of a technical team.”

Just as bullets are spun to steady their flight, Cameron’s craft rotates on its vertical axis — another first. In a test dive, he has already broken the modern depth record for piloted vehicles, going down more than five miles.

“He’s done something radical,” said Peter Girguis, a biological oceanographer at Harvard and head of a panel that oversees the nation’s fleet of deep-research vehicles. “He’s set aside the conventional wisdom.”

James Cameron’s submersible for his solo dive into the Challenger Deep is designed to rise and fall as quickly as possible, maximizing his time on the bottom.

One retired submariner has likened James Cameron to “an underwater Steve Jobs — difficult to get along with but very creative.”

follow the horizontal plan; most look like squat submarines with large tail thrusters.

Cameron plans to plummet 6.8 miles. The Challenger Deep is the most remote area of the Mariana Trench, the deepest of the seabed recesses that crisscross the globe. He is to cram his 6-foot-2-inch frame into a personnel sphere just 43 inches wide, forcing him to keep his knees bent and his body largely immobile. The dive plan calls for him to remain in that position for up to nine hours.

People have descended to the Challenger Deep just once before, in 1960, when the U.S. Navy sent down two men. They stayed 20 minutes. (By contrast, a dozen men have walked on

the moon and spent more than a collective 80 hours exploring its surface.)

While the most striking feature of Cameron’s vehicle is its vertical axis, it innovates in other ways, according to ocean experts and National Geographic, which is a sponsor of the expedition. Its website, deepseachallenge.com, details the advances.

For instance, the 12 thrusters are mounted above the crew capsule, keeping the muddy seabed largely undisturbed.

Cameron wants no repeat of the 1960 experience, in which the craft’s landing stirred up so much ooze that the divers could see little during their stay on the bottom and took no pictures.

After his five-mile test dive, he wrote that propeller wash from the thrusters barely “kissed” the bottom, forming silken tendrils that undulated and hung “like ectoplasm.”

‘Jim’s design’ A bigger advance centers on the craft’s structural foam. It counteracts the heavy weight of the steel personnel sphere and keeps the craft buoyant and able to rise quickly (once weights are shed). Cameron and his team were forced to develop their own superstrong foam after commercial varieties failed under crushing test pressures.

“From a sub builder’s perspective, that’s a huge break-

through,” said Phil Nuytten, president of Nuytco Research, a leading maker of undersea robots and submersibles.

Nuytten praised Cameron’s small personnel sphere as “a big innovation” that greatly reduced the need for buoyant foam and reduced the craft’s overall size.

By contrast, the spheres of conventional submersibles are much larger and heavier.

“The benefit is enormous,” he said. “You dramatically lower weight as the sphere size decreases.”

In an interview, Nuytten said he had long worked with Cameron — their relationship goes as far back as “The Abyss” (1989), when the director first displayed a fascination with the deep sea.

And while Cameron may be better known for his movies than for his undersea dives, he is anything but a dilettante, Nuytten said, adding: “Very few people realize that he’s a very good technologist. This is Jim’s design. It’s his baby from start to finish.”

Girguis, the Harvard oceanographer, said the debut of the new submersible suggested that deep exploration was entering a new phase of ambition.

“Eighty percent of our biosphere is the deep ocean,” he said in an interview. “The time is right to push the envelope — not only with respect to technology but our understanding.”

Doctors find clue in quest to predict heart attacks The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Too often, people pass a cardiac checkup only to collapse with a heart attack days later. Now scientists have found a clue that one day may help doctors determine if a heart attack is imminent, in hopes of preventing it.

Most heart attacks happen when fatty deposits in an artery

HAPPENINGS • GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney plans to meet with congressional members on Capitol Hill before traveling to Louisiana, which holds a primary Saturday.

The Obama administration rejected a Canadian firm’s application to build the pipeline but has said it can resubmit an application that skirts environmentally sensitive areas.

IN HISTORY

Daunting challenges The deep sea is much harder to explore than outer space. Far from the sun’s warming rays, the inky darkness miles down hovers at temperatures near freezing. Seawater is also corrosive, often full of debris and largely opaque to light and radio waves.

Most daunting of all, it is extraordinarily heavy. In the Challenger Deep, the waters overhead exert a downward pressure of more than 8 tons per square inch.

Typically, submersibles fight the extremes with bright lights and cramped personnel spheres — the shape that can best resist crushing pressures.

Explorers dress warmly and communicate with mother ships on beams of sound. They peer out of tiny portholes that are extraordinarily thick.

Until now, the world’s most advanced submersibles were built by governments. They can go as deep as 2.8 miles (the United States), 3.2 miles (China), 3.7 miles (France and Russia), and four miles (Japan). All

burst open, and a blood clot then forms to seal the break. If the clot is too big, it blocks off blood flow.

The problem: Today’s best tests can’t predict when that’s about to happen.

“We don’t have a way to get at whether an artery’s going to crack, the precursor to a heart attack,” said Dr. Eric Topol, di-

rector of California’s Scripps Translational Science Institute.

On Wednesday, Scripps researchers reported a new lead — by searching people’s blood for cells that appear to flake off the lining of a severely diseased artery.

Topol’s team measured high levels of those cells, deformed ones, floating in the blood of 50

people who’d just had a heart attack. The research is reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Topol said his team soon will begin needed studies to learn how early those cells might appear before a heart attack, and if spotting them could allow use of clot-preventing drugs to ward off damage.

9-year-old boy called to jury duty The Associated Press YARMOUTH, Mass.

— Like many people who get summoned to jury duty, Jacob Clark didn’t want to go.

But unlike most people, he had a legitimate excuse — he’s 9 years old.

“I was like, ‘What’s a jury duty?’” Jacob told the Cape Cod Times in response to his summons to appear in Orleans District Court in Massachusetts on April 18.

His grandmother told him it was a good excuse to miss a day of school.

His dad called the jury commission office to find out what happened. It turns out that someone apparently had typed 1982 for the Yarmouth third-grader’s birth year instead of 2002.

The mistake was quickly corrected.

Massachusetts Jury Commissioner Pamela Wood says a child gets called for jury duty once or twice a year.

Security Council endorses plan to halt Syrian conflict

By Rick Gladstone New York Times News Service

Overcoming months of bitter division, the U.N. Security Council delivered a diplomatic setback to President Bashar Assad of Syria on Wednesday, unanimously embracing efforts by Kofi Annan, the former secretary-general, to negotiate a cease-fire in the year-old Syria conflict, funnel aid to victims and begin a political transition.

In a document known as a presidential statement, the 15-member council expressed its “gravest concern at the deteriorating situation in Syria, which has resulted in a serious human rights crisis and a deplorable humanitarian

situation.”

Russia and China, which used their vetoes on the council to block efforts to adopt a resolution on the Syrian conflict, agreed to the statement.

It endorsed a plan by Annan, revealed in detail for the first time, that he had presented to Assad in meetings this month as the special representative of both the United Nations and the Arab League.

The statement said Annan’s plan would “facilitate a Syrian-led political transition to a democratic, plural political system, in which citizens are equal regardless of their affiliations or ethnicities or beliefs, including through com-

mencing a comprehensive political dialogue between the Syrian government and the whole spectrum of the Syrian opposition.”

The plan, which closely resembles an Arab League proposal that Assad has rejected, calls for all combatants to immediately stop fighting, for the military to withdraw from populated areas, for a U.N.-supervised truce and for the provision of humanitarian assistance, the release of all arbitrarily detained persons, freedom of movement for journalists and freedom for peaceful demonstrations. It warns of unspecified “further steps” if Annan’s plan is not carried out.

Fighting flares in secured areas The Syrian military’s widening struggle against insurgents, even in places it had declared secure, again flared into deadly violence Wednesday, as forces carried out a daylong bombardment in the city of Homs and deployed tanks and helicopters to rout rebels in clashes just outside the capital, anti-government activists reported.

The activists said that more than two dozen people were killed in Homs, many as they fled, and that more and more Sunni Muslim families were vacating the city as pro-government gangs called shabiha attacked them.

Homs was the target of relentless artillery barrages by the Syrian military for most of February into early March.

N. Korea warns against criticism

By Choe Sang-hun New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — As global leaders prepared to travel to Seoul for a nuclear security summit meeting, North Korea warned Wednesday that any criticism of its nuclear weapons program would be considered a “declaration of war.”

“If there is any provocative act such as the issuance of a so-called statement concerning ‘the North’s nuclear issue’ at the Seoul conference, it would constitute an extreme insult,” said the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency. “Any provocative act would be considered as a declaration of war against us and its consequences would serve as great obstacles to talks on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”

North Korea frequently refers to the likelihood of war, and it previously called U.N. condemnations of its nuclear weapons and longrange missile programs a “declaration of war.” But it has sometimes followed up by staging provocations, including nuclear tests.

The latest warning came as President Barack Obama and his allies in the region planned to use the Nuclear Security Summit early next week to discuss how to discourage the North’s nuclear program and its scheduled attempt to launch a satellite, and what can be done should it press ahead with the launching next month.

So far, North Korea has sounded determined to go ahead with the launching.

It insisted that its satellite program was peaceful in purpose and had nothing to do with its nuclear weapons. But Washington believes that previous satellite launchings were part of North Korea’s efforts to build intercontinental ballistic missiles and mount them with nuclear warheads.

Instead, the proceeding Wednesday in federal court became a final public platform for prosecutors and defense

By Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney sought to use the coveted endorsement of Jeb Bush on Wednesday to amplify his call for Republicans to rally behind his candidacy and get on with the mission of ousting President Barack Obama.

As Romney savored a decisive victory in the Illinois primary Tuesday over Rick Santorum, he learned that Bush — whose family name and appeal to both conservatives and moderates makes him as much an embodiment of the Republican establishment as anyone — was declaring his support and urging Republican voters to follow him.

The announcement provided Romney with additional ammunition to convince other party leaders and constituencies that his nomination is all but inevitable.

But if the endorsement held the potential to further choke off the oxygen to Santorum’s insurgent candidacy, the Romney campaign inadvertently gave Santorum a new supply when a senior adviser went on CNN and seemed to suggest that Romney’s conservative positions in the primary season would not necessarily be his message in a general election.

“I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign,” Eric Fehrnstrom, a longtime adviser to Romney, said in response to a question about pivoting to a matchup with Obama and appealing to moderate swing voters.

“Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch.

You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.”

The allusion to a children’s drawing toy that erases the last image with a simple shake immediately fed attacks from Romney’s rivals that he was an untrustworthy standard bearer for the conservative cause.

“You take whatever he said and you can shake it up and it will be gone and he’s going to draw a whole new picture for the general election,” Santorum said while campaigning in Louisiana, which votes Saturday.

The comments from Fehrnstrom followed a Romney campaign pattern of committing unforced errors after major victories. And they flared throughout the day from Republicans and Democrats alike, moving beyond politics into a hard-to-forget moment of popular culture that could be difficult for Romney to shake.

The Romney campaign at first dismissed the criticism.

At an afternoon rally in Maryland, Romney initially swatted away reporters who tried to pose questions but later said his adviser simply was referring to the mechanics of a larger campaign.

The dustup competed with Romney’s intensified efforts Wednesday to bring new and not-so-subtle pressure on Santorum to drop his candidacy, arguing that his chances were fading with Romney’s widening lead in the delegate and popular vote counts and endorsements from the likes of Bush.

Entrenched shooting suspect said to be calm U.S. warns Iranian

By Scott Sayare and Steven Erlanger New York Times News Service

TOULOUSE, France — A 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent claimed responsibility Wednesday for the methodical killings of four men and three children in this region over the past 10 days, officials said, after barricading himself in a small apartment building in Toulouse surrounded by hundreds of police officers.

The suspect was identified as Mohammed Merah, 23, a former garage mechanic who had made trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and said that he had been trained by al-Qaida.

Merah remained entrenched in an apartment building in the quiet neighborhood of Cote Pavee into the early hours of today, in a standoff that had gone on for nearly a day. Several explosions and gunshots could be heard just before 2 a.m. today, a few hours after three blasts rattled the area in what French news media reported was an attempt to destroy a window at the suspect’s apartment, as the police tried to let in the night cold in the hope that Merah might

surrender peacefully.

French officials have indicated that the police will make every effort to take him alive.

In the first six hours of the standoff, which began before dawn Wednesday, the suspect fired several heavy volleys at officers trying to enter his apartment, injuring two, though neither seriously. At one point he tossed a .45-caliber pistol from the window, the same kind used in each of the three attacks, and was given some kind of “means of communication,” according to the authorities, presumably a cellphone or walkie-talkie.

“He expressed no regrets, saving only that he did not have the time to reach more victims,” Francois Molins, the Paris prosecutor who has overall responsibility for antiterror investigations in France, said, adding that Merah said he had planned to kill a soldier Wednesday morning, and at some point to kill two police officers here.

A top editor at the news channel France 24 said in a televised interview that she had spoken by telephone to a man who claimed to be the shooter in the hours before

the police surrounded Merah’s building. “He was calm, was speaking in very good French and punctuated by Arabic expressions,” said the editor, Ebba Kalondo. She also said he spoke of planning more attacks and of intending to post video of his killings online.

“This man wanted to bring the Republic to its knees,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Wednesday, but “the Republic did not yield.”

He spoke in nearby Montauban at a funeral service for three soldiers Merah said he had killed in the days leading up to Monday’s killings of a rabbi and three children at a religious school here.

The bodies of those killed at the school — Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, 30, a religious instructor; his two sons, Arye, 6, and Gabriel, 3; and Miriam Monsonego, 8, the daughter of the school’s principal — were flown to Israel where they were buried Wednesday in the sprawling cemetery known as Har Hamenuchot, or the Mount of Rest, in the Jerusalem hills. Sandler was a French citizen; the three children had dual French-Israeli nationality.

Space scientist gets 13 years, regrets espionage

By Del Quentin Wilber and Kathrine Driessen

Romney’s day tarnished by aide’s gaffe

lawyers who painted divergent portraits of Stewart Nozette, a brilliant space scientist whose fall from grace was either triggered by greed and hubris or overzealous federal agents targeting a troubled man.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Nozette spoke publicly for the first time since his October 2009 arrest, saying he accepted “full responsibility” for his actions and wished to apologize to friends and family members for any pain he had caused them. The Chevy

Chase, Md., resident added that he regretted not informing authorities when he was first approached by a man he thought was working for the Mossad, Israeli’s storied intelligence service.

As expected, U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman sentenced Nozette, 54, to 13 years in prison — as specified in the deal the scientist had reached with prosecutors in September — and a little more than three years for unrelated fraud and tax evasion convictions.

The sentences, which included $217,795 in restitution payments, will run concurrently.

The hearing concluded the sad legal saga of an accomplished space scientist who held a number of sensitive government jobs and sketched out a successful lunar mission on a napkin. He is credited with helping discover water on the moon, and a prototype of a satellite he helped design hangs in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

oil buyers of sanctions

By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is sending a message to major buyers of Iranian oil — in particular China, India and South Korea — that they can avoid new U.S. sanctions by curtailing their imports of Iranian crude by the end of June, several U.S. officials said.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday that an “initial group” of countries — Japan and 10 European Union nations — have “significantly reduced” their Iranian oil purchases and thus qualified for an exemption from sanctions for a renewable period of 180 days under the law.

The United States didn’t grant waivers to China, the leading importer of Iranian crude in the first half of last year, or to India and South Korea, which were the third- and fourthlargest buyers, according to the Department of Energy.

Clinton praised the EU and Japan, which the Energy Department lists as the No. 2 importer of Iranian oil in the first half of last year, for taking actions that “were not easy” to cut back Iranian oil imports. “They had to rethink their energy needs at a critical time for the world economy and quickly begin to find alternatives to Iranian oil, which many had been reliant on for their energy needs,” she said in a statement.

Under a law enacted Dec. 31, countries have until June 28 to demonstrate that they have “significantly reduced” the volume of their Iranian crude purchases — or their banks that settle oil trades with Iran may be cut off from the U.S. financial system.

The U.S. hasn’t defined what counts as a significant reduction.

Court Continued from A1 The Sacketts tried to fight the EPA’s compliance order in federal court, but the judge dismissed the case, finding that the order wasn’t final, and therefore wasn’t “ripe” for a legal challenge. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled against the Sacketts, who appealed to the Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments in January.

The Sacketts argued that under the EPA’s interpretation, they either had to comply with a ruling they disagreed with (that their property contained protected wetlands that required a special permit before they could build) or face up to $75,000 a day in fines ($37,500 for violating the Clean Water Act and $37,500 for disobeying the compliance order) before they could get a judge to even hear their case.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the Clean Water Act’s reach is notoriously unclear.

“Any piece of land that is wet at least part of the year is in danger of being classified

by EPA employees as wetlands covered by the Act, and according to the Federal Government, if property owners begin to construct a home on a lot that the agency thinks possesses the requisite wetness, the property owners are at the agency’s mercy,” he wrote.

In the 40 years since the Clean Water Act was passed,

Congress has failed to clarify its scope, Alito wrote. This leaves landowners at the mercy of EPA employees, who, on a case-by-case basis, have interpreted “the waters of the United States” to give them limitless authority.

“We rejected that boundless view,” he wrote, “but the precise reach of the Act remains unclear.”

The EPA argued that com-

pliance orders are an important enforcement tool because they put polluters on notice about environmental regulations, bringing both sides to the table to work out a deal before extensive pollution occurs. By allowing the Sacketts to challenge their compliance order, the agency argued, the court’s ruling will force regulators to wait for a protracted legal process to play out be-

Plea bargain rights expanded WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court ruled for the first time Wednesday that the guarantee of effective legal representation applies to plea bargain agreements, significantly expanding the constitutional rights of defendants as they move through the criminal justice system.

In a pair of cases decided by 5-to-4 votes, the court opened a new avenue for defendants to challenge their sentences on grounds that their attorneys gave them faulty advice, lawyers on both sides of the issue said. The vast majority of criminal cases end with a guilty plea rather than a trial, and the ruling could affect thousands of cases.

“The reality is that plea bargains have become so central to the administration of the criminal justice system that defense counsel have responsibilities ... that must be met to render the adequate assistance of counsel that the Sixth Amendment requires,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote. He was joined by the court’s liberal justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

fore they can stop ongoing pollution and environmental abuses.

This reasoning did not convince the court.

Court appears to side with agents protecting Cheney WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court seemed inclined to agree that Secret Service agents protecting the nation’s top officials deserve special protection from lawsuits charging them with being overzealous when they arrest people whom they believe, even wrongly, might be a threat.

The justices on Wednesday were considering whether a lawsuit by Steven Howards of Golden, Colo., could go forward. Howards is suing two Secret Service agents who he clams violated his First Amendment rights when they arrested him after he criticized former Vice President Dick Cheney, touched his shoulder and then lied about his actions.

Chief Justice John Roberts said he didn’t want an agent to hesitate to take action because of a thought that “if I’m wrong, I may be held personally liable in damages for taking some action that some jury somewhere is going to say is based on retaliation rather than my obligation to protect the vice president.”

“The APA’s presumption of judicial review is a repudiation of the principle that efficiency of regulation conquers all,” Scalia wrote, referring to

the Administrative Procedure Act, the legal foundation for the Sacketts’ appeal. “Compliance orders will remain an effective means of securing prompt voluntary compliance in those many cases where there is no substantial basis to question their validity.”

The Natural Resources Defense Council, which spearheaded a group that filed a “friend of the court” brief in support of the EPA, said Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s ruling will not prevent the EPA from going after polluters.

“Today’s decision affirmed the legal principle that the EPA under the Clean Water Act may issue compliance orders to promote speedy resolution of pollution problems,” said Jon Devine, senior attorney in the NRDC’s water program, in a prepared statement.

“It grants recipients of such orders, at a time of their choosing, a day in court to challenge them. The court did not adopt any of the radical ideas advanced by industry and its allies that could have severely hampered public health and environmental protections.”

In the opinion, the justices were careful to point out that they were not indicating whether they felt the Sacketts should win their case, only that they deserved the opportunity to dispute the EPA’s findings before being subject to a compliance order.

Chinese spies target Taiwan’s defenses

Myanmar invites Western election monitors

By Peter Enav The Associated Press

TAIPEI, Taiwan — When Taiwanese security personnel detained a suspected spy for China at a top secret military base last month, they may have had a sense of deja vu.

Air force Capt. Chiang — he was identified only by his surname — was the fourth Taiwanese in only 14 months known to have been picked up on charges of spying for China, from which the island split amid civil war 63 years ago.

While Taiwan’s Defense Ministry did not disclose details of his alleged offense, his base in the northern part of the island hosts the air force’s highly classified radar system and U.S.made Patriot surface-to-air missiles, both vital to the island’s aerial defense.

Chiang’s arrest followed that of Maj. Gen. Lo Hsiehche, who had access to crucial information on Taiwan’s U.S.-designed command and control system, and civilian Lai Kun-chieh, who the Defense Ministry says tried without success to inveigle Patriot-related secrets from an unnamed military officer. A fourth alleged spy was detained on non-defense-related charges.

The cases show that China is seeking information about two systems that are integral to Taiwan’s defenses and built with sensitive U.S. technology. A major breach could make Taiwan more vulnerable to Chinese attack.

Though relations between the two have warmed in recent years, Beijing has never recanted a vow to retake the island, by force if necessary.

Information about the U.S.-supplied defense systems could also help the People’s Liberation Army understand other U.S. defenses. Taiwanese officials, however, say their systems are secure, and U.S. experts say American secrets will remain protected in any case.

The possibility that Taiwan might give up military secrets is certainly a worry for the U.S., its most important foreign partner.

Despite shifting recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, Washington continues to sell the island sophisticated military equipment.

New York Times News Service The United States said Wednesday that it was “encouraged” that Myanmar had invited U.S. and European representatives to monitor elections April 1, a milestone for Myanmar as it emerges from decades of military dictatorship.

The invitation is the latest in a series of steps taken

by Myanmar’s president, U Thein Sein, to pry open the country to the outside world and move toward democracy. Earlier this month, Thein Sein said the country was seeking more “international recognition” through “continuous efforts to win further trust.”

Voting in recent years has been witnessed by a handful of foreign diplomats, including a delegation from North Korea.

Prospective customers peruse guns for sale at the one shop in Mexico where it’s legal for them to purchase a firearm. The shop is located on an army base and unknown to many citizens. “The federal firearms law forbids us from advertising so as not to promote rampant gun buying,” says army Col. Raul Manzano Velez.

Mexico Continued from A1 In contrast, the four U.S. border states — California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas — have 20,834 firearms dealers licensed by the U.S. government, according to Marc Willis, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

In the gun shop here, soldiers keep a wary eye on customers as they pass through a metal detector. Once inside, clients seeking protection for their homes are each permitted to buy one small-caliber handgun. They also can obtain 200 rounds of ammunition a year.

“Normally, we have 70 or 100 visitors a day,” army Col. Raul Manzano Velez said as he took a visitor past rows of wooden cabinets displaying Belgian-, German-, Turkishand U.S.-made handguns and single-shot hunting rifles.

The shop’s existence is unknown to many citizens. “The federal firearms law forbids us from advertising so as not to promote rampant gun buying,” Manzano said.

Despite the rigor of Mexico’s gun laws, its murder rate of 18 per 100,000 people is more than triple the United States’ rate of five per 100,000. Nearly all homicides in Mexico occur with firearms.

Mexico once had a few private gun shops but the last one was abolished in 1995, leaving business to the army store. Profits go to the national treasury.

Obtaining a gun involves first getting a permit. Requirements include an official photo

ID, proof of residency and employment, a document showing fulfillment of military service and a declaration of a clean criminal record.

“When you have all these documents, you take them to the federal firearms registry, and within five to 10 working days you get the license,” Manzano said.

For those seeking guns for home protection, the law requires that the firearms never leave the permit holders’ primary residences. The firearm can be from .22 to .380 caliber.

It can be a pistol or a revolver, but can’t be a rifle. Only a single gun is allowed.

A different permit is given to marksmen and hunters, allowing them each to own up to nine single-shot rifles or shotguns and one small-caliber handgun. Mexico has 89 gun and hunting clubs and 20 government offices that sell hunting licenses.

Mexico’s 289 private security companies also have a different regimen: They can buy semiautomatic weapons or higher-caliber pistols and revolvers.

No matter how far buyers live from Mexico City, they must travel to the capital to obtain the licenses, give fingerprints and purchase the weapons.

Manzano acknowledged that the system is “very inconvenient” for the buyer, especially given the underground market for weapons.

“There is an enormous black market in the country. You can buy any weapon without any problem on the street. That is the reality in Mexico,” he said.

A client in the army gun store, lawyer Carlos Davalos,

said Mexico’s strict gun laws hadn’t stopped criminals from obtaining weapons.

“There isn’t really control over guns in Mexico,” he said.

He scoffed at the legal restrictions on the caliber of handguns that citizens are allowed to have.

“If somebody breaks into your house and instead of a .380, you have a (more powerful) .357 Magnum and you kill him, guess what? You save your life but you are going to jail,” Davalos said.

Another man in the gun store, Santiago Mac Gregor, a 29-year-old founder of a target shooting business, Shooting Sports Mexico, also criticized the firearms regulation.

“Who gives them the power to tell me what caliber I can buy?” Mac Gregor said in English. “What happens if you desperately need a gun to protect your house? They tell you that you can only have one gun, 200 rounds and you can’t take it out of your house.

It’s silly. So you go to the black market.”

Jose Luis Gonzalez, the head of El Aguila Hunting Club in the state of Mexico, said members of his club didn’t object to limits on rifle purchases as much as they griped about red tape that entangled the quest for permits and how hunts took place.

“To get this letter declaring that you have no criminal record is a real headache. It took me two months,” Gonzalez said.

Because hunting for whitetailed deer usually occurs on private communal lands known as ejidos, community members set the prices for obligatory services for hunt-

ers, he said, and dictate conditions on how the hunts can occur.

“They put bait out for the deer at 25 or 30 meters, and you assassinate the animal,” Gonzalez said. “This is not hunting.”

Bachelor Continued from A1 In an effort to address negative feedback as well as rumors started on the Facebook page “Community Buy Out of Mt. Bachelor” regarding the resort’s motivation for limiting the season, Rathbun said he decided to hold the public meeting.

Rathbun said over the years, the schedule for when the mountain closes has varied, along with the hours of operation. In order to operate through the targeted closing date of May 27, and prevent the layoff of employees to cut costs, he said Mt. Bachelor decided to limit the days of operation beginning April 30.

Rathbun said skiers still have access to more than 2,000 acres of terrain.

While Rathbun stressed the changes Mt. Bachelor is making are minor, skiers and snowboarders expressed the impact it is having on them.

Ryan Mejaski, 30, said the changes equate to a loss of not 12 days, but an entire month of skiing and snowboarding. The Bend resident’s work schedule requires him to work Thursday through Sunday, the only days the mountain will be open.

“It’s about how much money they can get and how little they put back into the mountain,” he said, attributing the schedule changes to Mt. Bachelor’s attempt to save costs.

Rathbun emphasized that while Powdr Corp. owns Mt. Bachelor, it is locally managed. In the past 11 years, since Powdr took ownership, he said $30 million in capital

has gone into equipment and infrastructure.

“Mt. Bachelor is a winner, getting money from the other Powdr resorts,” he said.

Jeremy Davidson, 36, said Mt. Bachelor should weigh what it will save in the future.

“Have you guys at Mt. Bachelor compared the cost of the loss of goodwill of your customers to the value of savings you get out of operating three days fewer a week in May?” said Davidson, addressing Mt. Bachelor employees during the question and answer portion of the forum.

Rathbun responded by saying Mt. Bachelor made the evaluation that the risk was worth it, but hopes local customers will continue to be season pass holders and ski next season.

“In a situation when you’re

looking down a gun barrel you have to make a decision to get the least amount of blowback,” Rathbun said. “I’m sorry it’s going this way. I wish it wasn’t so.”

Concerns from skiers not only addressed the operating schedule and suggestions for running lifts, but also brought up issues ranging from perks for locals to snow in disabled parking areas and RV overnight parking fees.

Max Kimmel, 66, said the forum was simply a one-way conversation where Mt. Bachelor explained its rationale for its choices.

“We’ve become frustrated with the operation, that’s why we’re all here,” Kimmel said. “(But) this is about changing people in this room, it’s not about changing Bachelor.”

In the Northeast, warm weather does not bode well for ski resorts

By Clarke Canfield The Associated Press

NEWRY, Maine — Skiers stripped down to shorts and bikini tops to keep cool Wednesday as they got in a few final sun-drenched, slushy runs, bidding what could be an early goodbye to a season that has disappointed all around.

An unprecedented spell of record temperatures soaring into the 80s had New England skiers dodging dirt patches and exposed rocks as melting snow spelled potentially millions in losses for those who make their living off winter tourism and sports.

“It’s like ‘swinter’ — summer and winter combined,” said 15-year-old Allie Ward, who wore only a bikini and boots during a break from skiing at Sunday River. She was joined by a sunburned friend, both of North Shore in Canada’s Prince Edward Island.

A year after ski resorts reported a record 60.5 million visits, the season opened last year with early snow and high expectations. But optimism was short-lived as Christmas arrived with little or none in many parts of the country. And the trend carried through the winter, with a few notable exceptions, like parts of Alaska.

Only a few of Maine’s 22 ski areas were open Wednesday.

Sugarloaf, the state’s tallest ski mountain, tried to put a good face on the warm temperatures, tweeting this week about sun-drenched “slushy goodness” on its slopes.

Colorado Ski Country USA estimated that the number of visits at its resorts in the nation’s biggest skiing state is down 7.4 percent so far this season, spokeswoman Jennifer Rudolph said Wednesday from Denver.

That represents losses of millions of dollars in revenue

Dogs Continued from A1 It costs $12 a year to license a dog that’s fixed, and $27 if it isn’t. State law requires owners to license their dogs with the county or risk getting fined.

Sale said he wants to consider contracting with the Humane Society to license city dogs. Another option would be to let the police department handle licensing to help capture some of these funds. The licensing fees would be the same, he said.

He also wants to eliminate some of the costs associated with impounding dogs. Right now if a dog is taken to the Humane Society by a police officer, the owner is charged an impounding fee.

Sale said the Humane Society also charges the police department for the same service: one dog, two bills. He estimates this costs his department about $50,000 a year, leaving him with a $16,000 operating deficit after receiving $34,000 from the county for licensing.

The city also doesn’t collect much money through animal control citations, he said. In fact, only 44 percent of the 600 or so citations issues result in a guilty verdict. Another 36 percent are dismissed.

Under his licensing plan, Sale estimates if he could

Skiers ride a lift earlier this week over thinly-covered slopes at the Sugarbush Resort in Fayston, Vt. An unprecedented heat wave has New England temperatures reaching the 80s.

for ski resorts, retail stores and hotels. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling also suffered.

In the end, the Decemberto-February period was the fourth-warmest in the continental U.S., and was one of the three warmest on record from Washington, D.C., to Caribou, Maine, said Jessica Rennells, of the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. This week, the warmth reached epic proportions.

In Bangor in central Maine, the temperature surged to 83 degrees on Wednesday, smashing the old record of 64.

In neighboring New Hampshire, the capital, Concord, enjoyed a summerlike spell the likes of which has never been seen in 144 years of recordkeeping.

“There’s only five days in March where the record was 80 or higher in Concord.

And we’re going to do that five times in a row this week.

That’s unprecedented,” said

John Cannon of the National Weather Service.

In Seattle, Larry Waldman said he’d been skiing at Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont since he was 6 years old. He had already bought his plane tickets for a time-share next week and acknowledged it would be too expensive to cancel.

“It is what it is. There’s nothing you can do about the weather. You just roll with it,” he said. “It’s just a pain in the butt.”

In the Northeast, larger resorts like Maine’s Sunday River and Sugarloaf and Vermont’s Killington usually stay open well into April, and sometimes even May. And they remain optimistic that they can hold out for several more weeks, pointing to a cooler forecast this weekend that gives a glimmer of hope that the little snow that’s left won’t melt.

“I don’t know that any one of us have seen a week of 70- to 80-degree heat in March, but I wouldn’t say it’s a killer,” said

get one-third of Bend’s dogs licensed — about 24,000 — the city could raise about $400,000. About 30 percent of this would go to the Humane Society, and the remaining $285,000 would go to the city.

“I just wanted to throw out there that this is not an obscure number we’re looking at here,” Sale said. “I believe this is fiscally responsible for us to take a look at.”

Another benefit, he said, is it makes life easier for people who are trying to reunite with their animals. Instead of a dog owner stopping at the police department to pick up a citation and then going to the Humane Society to get their pet and paying all the shelter fees, that person could go straight to the Humane Society to get their animal. While there, that person would pay any shelter charges and a flat $50 impounding fee.

The only time a citation would be issued, Sale said, is if dog is a repeat offender or if there are other extenuating circumstances that would result in a ticket.

Councilors were supportive of the idea, and said they wanted to move ahead with a plan to implement the proposal.

“I think this is a good start and a good conversation to have because it does make a lot of sense,” Councilor Jodie Barram said.

They also like another plan

Sale unveiled that aims to limit officer response to false alarms. He said there are about 2,200 false alarm calls that his department deals with in a given year, with each one resulting in at least two officers responding for about half an hour. With administrative costs built in, this equates to about $63,000.

While the city can fine individuals for these calls, the system to do so has become an afterthought because of staffing shortages, Sale said.

He’s now considering a new approach that would rely on a private contractor to handle the alarms in the city. This plan involves people registering their alarms for a fee. It also includes a new escalating fine schedule that Sale did not unveil Wednesday.

In other action, the council approved a $2.8 million contract amendment with HDR Engineering Inc. to provide inspection, construction management and public outreach services for road projects that are part of a $30 million bond measure.

The $2.8 million will be added to an earlier contract the city awarded to HDR Engineering that’s worth $3.7 million. That contract was for similar program management and design work on the road bond projects.

Sugarloaf spokesman Ethan Austin. “We’re definitely not packing it in yet.”

Postal Continued from A1 In October, the Postal Service contracted out services to Nixon’s Grocery, a store known primarily for its produce and fresh meats.

Although it does not provide the full range of mailing services, residents can mail letters, buy stamps and send packages. There are also 20 post office boxes for rent.

The store’s owner, Gary Nixon, said he received about $500 a year from the Postal Service for the setup.

“We didn’t do it for the money,” Nixon said. “It’s a service for our customers.

People really appreciate it.”

There are currently 10 stores across the country serving as village post offices. Two more are expected to open this week, and an additional 26 are under contract but waiting for equipment.

The Postal Service said it had gotten more than 600 inquires from other communities that are interested.

Efforts to trim The village post office is one of the many ways the Postal Service is seeking to cut cost as revenue declines. The agency said it could not tell how much it would save by setting up shop in small groceries and hardware stores, but it did say it expects to save $200 million annually by closing branches.

The agency is also looking to offer products in other places where customers are already shopping, like drugstores and retail chains, and to expand its services at office supply stores.

Sue Brennan, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service, calls the arrangements with stores a win-win for local communities and the service.

“We want to have a presence in these communities, but we simply can’t continue to do what we are doing,” Brennan said. “These village post offices save us money and still provide needed ser-

vices in the communities.”

Sen. Thomas Carper, DDel., said the Postal Service should consider using major retailers like Walmart.

“It works for banks and pharmacies,” Carper said.

“There is no reason why you couldn’t have a post office branch in a Walmart store.

They are located all across rural America.”

The volume of mail has plummeted with the rise of email, online coupons and electronic bill-paying.

Volume is down 25 percent from five years ago, and projections show even further declines, said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.

But federal law prevents the Postal Service from raising postage rates faster than inflation.

Difficult road Meanwhile, the agency has had a tough time cutting costs to match the revenue drop, with a history of labor contracts offering generous health and pension benefits and no layoff provisions, and laws that restrict its ability to cut the frequency of deliveries.

Congress plans to begin work on several postal bills in the next few weeks that are aimed at restructuring the Postal Service’s finances.

Postal Service officials say that a major factor behind the agency’s $20 billion in losses over the past four years is a 2006 law requiring it to pay an average of $5.5 billion annually for 10 years to finance retiree health costs for the next 75 years. One bill pending in Congress, co-sponsored by Carper, would lower the payment and stretch it out over a 40-year period.

Postal Service officials say village post offices in grocery stores and other locations will not save the agency, but will help reduce costs while maintaining services.

“Any savings we can get helps us move toward financial stability,” Brennan said.

China puts a stop to Maoist revival

Move-in before marriage no longer predicts divorce

By Mike Stobbe The Associated Press

By Barbara Demick Los Angeles Times

BEIJING — In the latest political tumult in China, it is the Maoists who find themselves in trouble.

Maoist websites have been shut down, ostensibly for “maintenance.” A public park in Chongqing where retirees sang and twirled to patriotic anthems while waving red flags posted a notice saying the music was now banned because it disturbed the neighborhood. A former television host, known for his Maoist views, found his scheduled speeches abruptly canceled.

The crackdown started late last week during the conclusion of the National People’s Congress. On Thursday, Premier Wen Jiabao called for political reforms to protect the nation’s economy, warning that without change, China could be revisiting the cruelty of the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong’s 1966-76 purge of intellectuals. The following day, Bo Xilai, the Communist Party chief in Chongqing and a popular figure for leftists, was sacked from his post.

“This can’t be coincidence,” said Sima Nan, a scholar and former TV host whose home in Beijing opens into a foyer decorated with a large bust of Mao next to a smaller one of Lenin. He had written several blog posts criticizing Wen’s warnings about the Cultural Revolution.

Then, on Friday, Sima was notified that speeches he was scheduled to deliver at universities in Beijing and Hong Kong had been canceled. “I’ve been a Communist Party member for over 30 years, so I feel very sad that my point of view is banned from the public discourse,” he said in response.

Censors appear to have struck Friday. Three wellknown websites popular among the left — Utopia. com, Maoflag.net and Chinachina.cn.com — all experienced technical problems, silencing critics of Wen’s words and helping nip in the bud any public demonstrations in support of Bo. A lone demonstrator on Monday appeared at Chaotianmen Square with a red banner that read, “Chairman Bo, the people of Chongqing miss you.” He was spirited away by police within minutes and a photograph of the one-man demonstration was quickly deleted from websites in China.

The opaque nature of the Chinese Communist Party makes it difficult to determine if the targeting is an attempt to weaken Bo and his base, or if it reflects a deeper ideological divide within the party’s leadership.

Demonstrators chant Trayvon Martin’s name Wednesday during the Million Hoodie March in Union Square in New York.

The march was in memory of Martin, a black teenager shot to death by a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain in Florida.

The teenager was unarmed and was wearing a hoodie.

Florida shooting raises question: vigilante or good neighbor?

By Mike Schneider The Associated Press

SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman once took criminal justice classes at the community college and was practically a one-man neighborhood watch in his gated part of town, calling police close to 50 times over the past eight years to report such things as slow-driving vehicles, strangers loitering in the neighborhood and open garages.

Now, suddenly, people are wondering if the 28-year-old Zimmerman is an earnest if somewhat zealous young man who was just looking out for his neighborhood, or a wannabe cop who tried to take justice into his own hands.

He has been at the center of a growing furor over vigilantism, self-defense and racial profiling since he shot and killed an unarmed black teenager who was walking through his neighborhood Feb. 26 carrying only a bag of Skittles and an iced tea.

Zimmerman, a light-skinned Hispanic, has claimed self-defense in the slaying of 17-yearold Trayvon Martin and has not been charged, but many black leaders are demanding his arrest, and state and federal authorities are investigating.

Florida’s Stand Your Ground law on self-defense gives people wide latitude to use deadly force.

Attorneys for Martin’s parents say Zimmerman is a “loose cannon.”

“He’s a wannabe police officer,” lawyer Benjamin Crump said. “Why did he have a gun?”

But some neighbors welcomed his vigilance, at least before the shooting.

Samantha Leigh Hamilton, an auto-dealership employee who has lived on Zimmerman’s street for about a year, said that she once left her garage door up and Zimmerman noticed it while out walking his dog. He notified another neighbor, who let Hamilton know.

“The only impression I have of George Zimmerman is a good one,” Hamilton said Wednesday.

Hamilton said another neigh-

bor, a black woman, would regularly inform Zimmerman when she was out of town so that he could keep an eye on her place. Hamilton said that when she moved into the middle-class, racially mixed community of about 250 identical townhouses, the black neighbor told her, “Hey, if you need anything, you picked a really good area, since George is part of our neighborhood watch.”

Zimmerman, who was captain of the neighborhood watch and licensed to carry a gun, made 46 calls to police since 2004, according to department records.

In one police call report, the dispatcher noted that Zimmerman was calling about a vehicle “driving real slow, looking at all the other vehicles in the complex and blasting music.” In another call from last August, Zimmerman reported on two black male teens in the neighborhood. He considered them suspicious.

A police spokesman in Sanford, a city of 53,000 people outside Orlando that is 57 percent white and 30 percent black, did not return calls for comment about Zimmerman’s repeated reports.

Sanford city commissioners on Wednesday voted 3-2 to express “no confidence” in Police Chief Bill Lee Jr. over the handling of the fatal shooting. The commission can’t fire Lee, however, because the police chief reports to the city manager.

Hamilton said there had been several break-ins in the past year, including one three doors away in which burglars took a TV and laptops.

“When I hear about him calling the police constantly, it kind of makes sense to me because we had so many break-ins recently,” she said.

The homeowners association’s February newsletter said that Sanford police had beefed up patrols in the neighborhood and that officers on bicycles were making random checks of front yards and backyards.

It was not clear how big the neighborhood watch was, but Zimmerman was the dominant force.

Philippines uses U.S. smart bombs

By Jim Gomez The Associated Press

MANILA, Philippines — Concealed by the night sky, the two aging Philippine air force planes unleashed a surprise high-tech weapon: U.S. satellite-guided bombs that whizzed down with deadly precision toward a long-elusive terrorist suspect and two other top radicals dozing with their men in Jolo Island’s jungle.

The use of smart bombs, confirmed to The Associated Press by four senior Philippine security officials, marks a new chapter in the long-running battle against an al-Qaidalinked movement in the southern Philippines, viewed by the U.S. as a key front in the global

effort to keep terrorists at bay.

The U.S. has been assisting the Philippine military since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, providing advice, training, and intelligence, including drone surveillance, but the smart bombs are the first major high-tech hardware supplied to the Philippines.

They offer a less manpower-intensive way to combat Abu Sayyaf at a time when both the Philippines and the U.S. militaries want to focus resources on tensions with China in the South China Sea. They also dovetail with a change in recent years from massive offensives to surgical, intelligence-driven strikes that target holdouts of the battered

Abu Sayyaf.

The four senior officials said the strike on the Abu Sayyaf lair employed GPS-guided bombs, a previously unavailable technology acquired from the United States under a confidential military assistance project. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to discuss those details with the media.

A Philippine military document detailing the project, a copy of which was seen by the AP, said that U.S. defense contractor Raytheon Co. was to deliver 22 kits last year to convert conventional bombs into precision-guided munitions that could be launched from the OV-10 turboprop.

ATLANTA — Nearly half of first marriages break up within 20 years, a new government study finds. With those odds, you might wonder: Would we be better off living together first?

The new research, part of a marriage survey of 22,000 men and women, suggests times have changed from the days when living together signaled poor chances for a successful marriage later.

“It’s not playing as big a role in predicting divorce as it used to,” said Casey Copen, lead author of the study.

Living together before marriage has been a long-growing trend. In the late 1960s, only about 10 percent of U.S. couples moved in together first, and they ended up with

higher divorce rates.

Today, about 60 percent of couples live together before they first marry.

“It’s becoming so common, it’s not surprising it no longer negatively affects marital stability,” said Wendy Manning, co-director of the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

Researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked for trends in first marriages. They interviewed men and women ages 15 to 44 during the years 2006 to 2010. About 40 percent were married.

The study found those who were engaged and living together before the wedding were about as likely to have marriages that lasted 15 years as couples who hadn’t lived together.

But what about the couples who were living together but weren’t engaged? The new study found marriage was less likely to survive to the 10- and 15-year mark among couples who weren’t engaged when they lived together — findings similar to earlier research.

For example, for women, there was about a 60 percent likelihood a marriage would survive 15 years if the couple either hadn’t lived together before the wedding or were engaged while they were sharing the same living space.

But if no firm marriage commitment was made while she and her boyfriend were living together, the likelihood the marriage would last 15 years fell to 53 percent. The numbers were similar for men.

Bend Research adjusts contract The drug-technology developer Bend Research has adjusted its contract with longtime pharmaceutical client Pfizer to allow other companies to work with the Central Oregon company on projects involving vaccines and medicines for treating cancer and other diseases.

Bend Research, which has facilities in Bend and Tumalo, announced the shift Tuesday in a news release. The company had an exclusive contract with Pfizer, based in New York, for almost 15 years.

The company anticipates adding employees because of the change, senior vice president Lisa Graham said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sales of previously owned houses unexpectedly fell in February, showing that the realestate market is taking time to strengthen.

Purchases dropped 0.9 percent to a 4.59 million annual rate from a revised 4.63 million pace in January that was faster than previously estimated and the highest since May 2010, a report from National Association of Realtors showed Wednesday in Washington. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey called for a rise to 4.61 million.

The glut of foreclosed properties is putting more homes on the market and creating a headwind for the industry that precipitated the last recession. Still, purchases may improve as job and income growth, cheaper homes and mortgage rates near a record low keep affordability near an all-time high.

Estimates from the 77 economists surveyed by Bloomberg ranged from 4.44 million to 4.8 million after a previously reported 4.57 million pace in January.

Existing-home sales, tabulated when a contract closes, climbed to 4.26 million last year, from 4.19 million in 2010.

Demand peaked at 7.08 million in 2005 during the housing boom. In 2008, sales totaled 4.1 million, the least since 1995.

The number of previously owned homes on the market rose to 2.43 million in February from 2.33 million the previous month, Wednesday’s report showed. At the current sales pace, it would take 6.4 months to sell those houses, up from 6 months in January.

Existing home sales A stronger job market and mild weather helped boost sales of previously occupied homes this winter.

Doc Hatfield, who cofounded a ranching cooperative in Brothers in 1986 that helped create the naturalbeef market, died Tuesday night at his family’s loft in Sisters.

He was 74.

Despite the awards and academic interest he and his wife, Connie, earned for the Country Natural Beef cooperative they developed, Doc

Hatfield never set aside his cowboy hat and boots or lost his love for ice cream bars.

Hatfield Hatfield was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009, he told The Bulletin earlier this month. He and Connie ceded leadership of the co-op’s marketing in 2009 to Frenchglen rancher Stacy Davies.

Zhaohui Wu, an associate

professor of business at Oregon State University who cowrote a 2009 case study on the cooperative, announced the death.

He said Hatfield often quoted a line from “The Oregon Desert,” by R.A. Long and E.R. Jackman: “Many men in trying to change the desert only change themselves … often for the better.”

In an email earlier this month, Wu wrote, “That is

how each of us felt when we worked with Doc.” The academic publisher Routledge published the case study last year in a textbook, which Wu and other professors use in business courses.

For their efforts, the Hatfields earned the Kerr Award from the High Desert Museum in 2001 and the Oregon Governor’s Gold Award in 2007.

• Many men find themselves in company housing while working in the oil fields

Making do in ‘man camps’

By Ann Carrns • New York Times News Service

L

ast spring, Bob Ripka decided the time had come for drastic change. His once-robust income from his job at a printing company was dwindling. His family lost their house in the real estate crash. And employment prospects around his home in Pine City, Minn.,

more than an hour north of Minneapolis, appeared scant.

He heard talk around town about plentiful work in North Dakota, where new drilling technologies are driving an oil boom. “And I decided, ‘Well, I’m going to go make some money,’” he recalled in an interview.

On Memorial Day weekend, Ripka, 48, removed the rear seats from his 2003 Dodge minivan and replaced them with a mattress. He threw some clothes in a bag, said goodbye to his family and drove 10 hours west to Williston — ground zero in the North Dakota petroleum explosion.

After filling out a round of applications and sleeping in his car for several nights, Ripka was offered a job driving heavy trucks for an oil services company, helping to pour cement to secure casings for new wells.

“I’d rather be home every day and see my family. But this economy nowadays, you got to do what you got to do.”

— Bob Ripka, truck driver, Sanjel Corp.

He passed a drug test and trained for two weeks in Denver before settling, in July, into his new home away from home: a 7-by-11-foot cubicle at a “man camp.” A sort of cross between a military barracks and a college dormitory, temporary man camps have sprung up in and around Williston to help house the influx of workers from around the country.

Ripka is one of thousands of men with similar stories. They have descended on Williston and its environs over the past two to three years, pulled by the magnet of jobs created by an oil boom with the potential to make the region one of the largest petroleum resources in the country, and pushed by the hope that a steady income can put their finances back on track after a grueling downturn.

While the national unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, in North Dakota it is 3.2 percent — and it is 1 percent in Williams County, where Williston has grown from a population of 12,500 before the boom began in 2008 to an estimated 20,000 now.

WICHITA, Kan. — BP Wind Energy certainly was getting its money’s worth recently as a steady 30-mile-an-hour wind spun the 148-foot-long turbine blades at the Flat Ridge 1 wind farm at a surprisingly fast clip.

The 100-megawatt wind farm north of Medicine Lodge, Kan., has spawned a now-under-construction extension, Flat Ridge 2, that is four times bigger. It’s a key reason why Kansas is the nation’s top destination for wind farm construction this year, with a near-doubling of the state’s power generating capacity to more than 2,600 megawatts.

But any prospects for a Flat Ridge 3 look pretty dim right now, as Congress appears unwilling to renew a federal wind power tax credit that expires Dec. 31.

An industry executive said plainly that losing the subsidy will kill almost all new construction because it makes the power too expensive. One wind energy manufacturer in Colorado is promising large layoffs if the subsidy isn’t renewed.

WASHINGTON — Payday loans, for years a fixture in poor, working-class neighborhoods, are increasingly being offered by local banks and employee credit unions — triggering concerns by consumer groups that more Americans will be trapped in high-interest loans that could take years to pay off.

More than two dozen re-

gional and community banks now offer versions of these loans, most starting their programs since 2007. The biggest increase, however, has come at credit unions. Nearly 400 of them now are in the market, attracted by a 2010 change in regulations that boosted the maximum interest rate on payday loans to 28 percent from 18 percent.

Conventional payday loans from storefront operations

provide workers a two-week advance of as much as $500 on their paychecks for a flat fee or an interest rate that doesn’t sound too extreme on the surface.

Many people can’t repay the loans when they come due. Instead, they simply roll the loans over from payday to payday, or take out new loans to cover the old ones, piling on additional costs that can result in interest charges of 300

percent or more over the course of a year.

The move by banks into payday lending — or direct deposit advances, as many of them call it — led about 200 fair-lending, consumer, religious and labor groups to write to federal regulators last month and call for prompt action to stop “this inherently dangerous product.”

HP plans merger of printing, computer divisions

By Brandon Bailey San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif.

— Hewlett-Packard Co. on Wednesday confirmed plans for a corporate overhaul that will combine two of its biggest divisions, printing and PCs, in an effort by new CEO Meg Whitman to turn the troubled tech giant around.

Under the reorganization, which represents some of the biggest changes at HP in years, Whitman is also consolidating global sales, marketing and communications functions that had been spread across different business units.

“The result will be a faster, more streamlined, performance-driven HP,” Whitman said in a statement Wednesday.

HP’s announcement did confirm a significant shake-up in the executive ranks: The combined printing and PC unit will be led by longtime PC chief Todd Bradley, 53, who is widely credited with helping make HP the world’s No. 1 seller of PCs in recent years. Veteran printing head Vyomesh “VJ” Joshi, 57, will leave the company.

HP said its global accounts organization would be added to the responsibilities of David Donatelli, an executive vice president who already oversees the HP division responsible for producing commercial data center hardware, such as servers, storage and networking gear.

THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Hatfield

“They’re very nice folks, very congenial.

They have a lot of respect for the rest of the folks in the community, and they worked hard with the beef project that he had going.”

Continued from B1 Country Natural Beef stands out for its style of decision-making, which gives a voice to all ranch family members, Wu said. It pioneered industry efforts to produce a consistent supply of antibiotic- and hormone-free beef and bridged the culture gap between ranchers and urban consumers, he said.

“As charismatic leaders, (the Hatfields’) presence had strongly affected the culture of the co-op and played a critical role in establishing close relationships with the key customers of the co-op over the years,” the case study states.

From the beginning, Hatfield and his wife required that ranchers don their cowboy hats and boots and visit big-city stores at least two days a year to meet with customers.

“The concept is the direct connection between the rancher and the final consumer,” Hatfield said in an interview earlier this month.

“That’s where it’s at.”

Patrick Dale Hatfield was born in Roseburg on March 17, 1938, and worked on his uncle’s ranch in Douglas County. The nickname Doc stuck after he graduated from Colorado State University as a doctor of veterinary medicine.

He served in the U.S. Army and worked as a veterinarian in Enterprise and in Victor, Mont., before moving to Brothers in 1976.

He and his wife established the cooperative with 14 ranching families in 1986, after Connie learned that a Bend fitness instructor had directed his students to eat lean beef, with no hormones or antibiotics, which came from Argentina but wasn’t always readily available.

Hatfield’s veterinary skills proved useful for taking care of cattle, Connie Hatfield said.

Inspecting meat for the Army also contributed valuable knowledge as Country Natural Beef got started.

In the cooperative’s early years, Doc Hatfield called stores every week to take orders. Later, he went with Connie to visit ranches in the coop and stores that sold their beef, she said.

“It’s the key to the success, this personal contact,” Connie Hatfield said. “You can say a lot on computers … but sometimes you can’t see what the

— Jerrie Hanna, co-owner, Brothers Stage Stop, about the Hatfields

people are thinking unless you can look at their faces, if you know what I mean.”

Communicating to customers the work required to bring beef to market was a priority for Doc Hatfield.

“It’s 27 months (from) the time you put a bull and a cow together until you have meat in the case,” he said. “It’s a very long lead time.”

Today, 92 Whole Foods Market stores in 10 states stock Country Natural Beef products, in addition to 53 other grocery stores and 136 restaurants.

The meat comes from about 70 family ranches, including the Hatfields’ 32,000-acre ranch in Brothers. Now their son, Travis Hatfield, manages operations there.

Doc Hatfield frequently stopped by the Brothers Stage Stop on U.S. Highway 20 during breaks or before driving to Bend to pick up the mail and eat an ice cream bar or ice cream cone, said Jerrie Hanna, a co-owner.

“They’re very nice folks, very congenial,” Hanna said Wednesday of the Hatfields.

“They have a lot of respect for the rest of the folks in the community, and they worked hard with the beef project that he had going. And they were just very good people, very well liked in the community.”

After Hatfield learned that he had pancreatic cancer, he said he wanted to exceed 100 mph on his motorcycle in every state west of the Mississippi, said his daughter, Becky Hatfield-Hyde, of Beatty. “He got to seven states,” she said.

Along with his wife, son and daughter, Doc Hatfield is survived by six grandchildren.

The family is holding a private service. Donations can be sent to the High Desert Museum in lieu of flowers, Connie Hatfield said.

Man camps Continued from B1 Many newcomers are, like Ripka, middle-aged family men angling for a fresh financial start. Builders cannot throw up homes fast enough to house them; an estimated 1,200 housing units are expected to be completed in Williston in the next few months, and onebedroom apartments rent for $1,700 or more a month, if they are available. With an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 job openings in the area, many men live where they can — in their cars, or in illegally parked campers — and send their earnings to their families while they hunt for housing.

Because of the fast pace of oil well development to tap the Bakken shale field, the men often are on call around the clock and are away from their families for extended periods. A typical schedule might be to work 15 days straight, followed by six days off to go home. Airfare out of Williston can be steep, though, so many workers drive or take an Amtrak train, which adds travel time that cuts into their visits. Some companies occasionally offer to put family members up in local hotels for visits.

Not everyone goes home.

The men can earn extra money — $150 to $200 a day or more, depending on the job — by working their scheduled days off, so many do. That means, though, that they are away from home for five weeks at a stretch, or even longer.

Ripka plans to continue for about five years, long enough to pay down some debt, including a loan his parents took out to help finance the purchase of the home in Pine City where his family lives. He said his credit was marred by the loss of the family’s former home in a short sale, in which the lender agreed to accept less than what was owed, so his parents

preparing the state for rapid growth.

There’s a lot at stake for Kansas, said state Secretary of Commerce Pat George. And, he said, it’s inevitable that wind power is going to be needed, eventually.

“There is a diminishing amount of coal and gas. When that will be I don’t know, but it’s coming,” he said. “This helps our nation to be less dependent on other forms of energy.”

The Production Tax Credit

was most recently approved in 2009 as part of President Barack Obama’s stimulus effort, although it has largely been in effect since 1992.

It provides 2.2 cents per kilowatt hour for utility-scale wind power producers. With the subsidy, said John Graham, CEO of BP Wind Energy, wind-generated electricity is competitive with the least expensive common alternatives.

The cost of wind generation has fallen significantly as wind

turbines and wind farms have gotten bigger, manufacturing moves from Europe to the U.S. and the technology improves.

The cost is close to being competitive, but it is still a few years away, he said.

The tax credit, Graham said, costs the government $3.5 billion a year and attracts $15 billion to $20 billion in investment.

Sixty percent of wind energy components are now made in the U.S. “We think it’s a very good return,” he said.

Ripka installed a small refrigerator so he can get a cold drink without walking to the camp’s communal kitchen, but has otherwise made no attempt to personalize his living space. “I’m here to work,” he shrugged.

Back at home, the women with children must adjust to being single parents for weeks or even months at a time. For Danette Radermacher, Ripka’s partner of 22 years, duties now include digging out after snowstorms, without Ripka’s help.

She is often lonely. Entertainment is mostly watching cable television and taking her sons to play after-school sports.

“Sometimes,” she said with a wry laugh, “I forget how to talk to adults.”

The separation is hard on the children, too. They like that their parents can now afford to buy them electronic gadgets as birthday gifts, Radermacher said. But Ripka’s job meant missing his son Dakota’s 10th birthday in February. During Ripka’s visit home in January, the boy presented his father with a jar of spare change and asked if it were enough to pay for a family trip to the beach.

Continued from B1 Wind farms built before the end of the year are unaffected and will continue to receive the tax break.

It’s a big potential blow to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s vision for a vibrant state wind industry, in the form of the new wind farms and manufacturers such as the Siemens plant in Hutchinson, Kan. A lot of time and money has been spent

pitched in to help.

“I’d rather be home every day and see my family,” he said.

“But this economy nowadays, you got to do what you got to do.”

Ripka is one of the lucky ones in Williston, as far as housing: His employer, the Sanjel Corp., contracts to house its workers at a man camp, so his lodging and meals are subsidized.

One afternoon last month, Ripka gave a tour of his camp, operated by ATCO Structures and Logistics, a Canadian company. The “lodge,” as ATCO calls it, comprises four, 49-room modular dormitories. His room has a twin bed, a cabinet, a television and DVD player, a chair and a single window. A blue felt blanket hung tenuously over the blinds, secured with tape — Ripka’s attempt, when working night shifts, to block out the daylight while he sleeps.

Ripka says long hours help him to sleep soundly most of the time — but not always.

The walls are thin, and other workers may come and go at different hours. One neighbor sometimes forgets to adjust his alarm clock when his shift changes; its “beep, beep, beep” echoed down the hall.

muddle through at home, workdays can stretch around the clock in Williston, depending on the situation at the drilling sites. During their off time, some of the men at the ATCO camp gather in a common area for darts, cribbage or television; the local movie theater has limited showings during the week.

A sort of camaraderie has evolved, based on the shared experience of long hours and loneliness. A half-dozen men in Ripka’s work group were temporarily bald this winter, having shaved their heads as part of an autism fundraiser. On weekends, there are outings for pitchers of icy, light beer. While many of the men plan to stick it out as long as they can take it, some decide relatively soon that being separated from their families is more than they can handle. Ronald Powell, a native of Winter Haven, Fla., lasted about four months as a heavy equipment operator for an oil field services contractor before throwing in the towel.

Powell had been out of work for some time when he was hired last fall at $25 per hour to drive trucks in Williston; he settled into a man camp operated by Target Logistics.

A gruff, churchgoing man, with hands like catcher’s mitts, Powell said he was often uncomfortable in the rough-andtumble environment of Williston. Yet things were tolerable, until he had a disagreement with his employer over working conditions and, he said, a proposed pay cut. So when a company in Florida offered him $18 an hour to work back home, he quickly accepted it.

Speaking by phone after leaving Sunday services in Winter Haven with his granddaughter, Powell said he was bitter about his treatment by his employer, but had no regrets about trying out the work life in Williston.

“Everything,” he said, “happens for a reason.”

Danette Radermacher picks up her sons, Devon Ripka, 17, and Dakota Ripka, 10, from school in Pine City, Minn. Radermacher and the boys are having to adjust to their single-parent household while Bob Ripka is working in the North Dakota oil fields.

— Lauren Saunders, managing attorney, National Consumer Law Center

Payday loans Continued from B1 “There are people who wouldn’t walk into a payday loan store but think that if a bank is doing it, it must be safe,� said Lauren Saunders, managing attorney with the National Consumer Law Center. “If you take a look at these products from a consumer protection standpoint, they raise serious red flags.�

Banks and credit unions have been searching for new ways to boost revenue in a down economy in which low demand for loans and historically low interest rates have made conventional lending less profitable. And they’ve seen more of their customers who are scrambling to make ends meet turning to storefront payday lenders. “At a time when banks are struggling for growth, it’s certainly an avenue they’re going to look at,� said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. But he warned that the loans are risky for financial institutions because the default rates are high.

Jamie Fulmer, spokesman for Advance America, Cash Advance Centers Inc., the nation’s largest storefront payday lender, figures that banks and credit unions recognize that payday lenders are “doing something right.� “The services we offer today are now mainstream,� he said. “We are the new norm.�

Credit unions and banks said they have jumped into the business because there is a growing need for shortterm loans and they can offer them to their customers on better terms than storefront payday lenders. “Even though it’s a higher interest rate than we would normally charge, this is actually a less-expensive alternative,� said Steve Weakley, president of the Vons Employees Federal Credit Union in El Monte, Calif. It started offering payday loans last year of as much as $750 with a 27.9 percent interest rate on an annualized basis.

Differences between banks, loan companies Unlike a typical storefront payday loan, which must be paid back in two weeks, the Vons credit union gives customers at least a month, and up to six months, to repay, Weakley said. The longer term increases the likelihood that the customer will repay and reduces the compounding effect of rollovers or new loans. “We are not in the business to in any way gouge our members,� he said.

Elmer Garrido had heard horror stories about the high cost of storefront payday loans. So when the Redwood City, Calif., resident was desperate for $450 to repair his 2003 Dodge Intrepid, he turned to Community Trust credit union in San Francisco. “I didn’t want to pay so much,� said Garrido, 30, who needs a car for his landscaping job. “The credit union gave me an opportunity to get the loan and to fix my car.�

Garrido got a $500 loan at an 18 percent annualized interest rate that he can pay off over 10 months. The credit union is part of the Payday Plus SF program that was started in 2009

by the city of San Francisco to provide alternatives to storefront payday lenders. “We have more payday lenders and check cashers in San Francisco than we have Starbucks and McDonald’s combined,� San Francisco Treasurer Jose Cisneros said. “They really are preying on people who are least able to afford their exorbitant rates and fees.�

Consumer advocates cautioned that any short-term, high-interest loan is a bad deal for the customer. “If it is a high-interest-rate loan that’s getting rolled over without having any reduction in principal, then you’re really starting to put people in a trap,� said Nick Bourke, director of the Safe Small Dollar Loans Research Project at the Pew Charitable Trusts.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has launched a broad review of payday lending from any source.

‘400 percent interest’ “Maybe you would never dream of paying an annual percentage rate of 400 percent on a credit card or any other type of loan, but you might do it for a payday loan,� Richard Cordray, the agency’s director, said at a recent hearing. “When you’re desperate, the terms of the loan seem to matter a lot less.�

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks, is considering new guidelines on payday loans, such as making sure repayments taken directly from customers’ accounts don’t lead to overdraft fees.

And the National Credit Union Administration has placed restrictions on payday loans from Community Trust and other institutions it regulates, such as capping the annual percentage rate, giving customers at least a month to repay and not allowing them to roll over the loans.

The number of federally chartered credit unions offering payday loans jumped to 390 from 244 last year. They had $18.7 million in payday loans outstanding at the end of December, up from $8.9 million at the end of March. “There’s a real need out there,� said Debbie Matz, chairwoman of the federal credit union regulator.

There is no overall data on bank payday loans. But storefront payday lenders still dominate the market, with 20,600 locations making $38.5 billion in loans each year, according to the Community Financial Services Association of America, an industry trade group.

Storefront lenders offer twoweek advances. Although the average loan is $345, rollovers and new loans mean the typical payday borrower takes out about $2,000 in loans a year.

The fee of $15 to $20 for every $100 borrowed is, in effect, an interest rate, but the two-week term means the annual percentage rate amounts to 300 percent to 600 percent.

Banks and credit unions can easily undercut the storefront operations.

Wells Fargo Bank, which first dipped into the market in 1994, offers Direct Deposit Advance to customers whose paychecks are wired directly to their bank accounts.

The bank charges $7.50 for every $100 advanced, with a $500 limit. The loan must be repaid in 35 days and can’t be rolled over, but a customer can take out new loans for six straight months. “It is still without a doubt an expensive form of credit,� bank spokeswoman Richele Messick said.

Redmond mayor hints at business plan • In his State of the City address, Endicott reaffirms a goal of 10,000 new jobs by 2030

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

REDMOND — The path for job growth in Redmond has been paved.

Now, Redmond Mayor George Endicott says, it’s time to travel it.

“Redmond is open for business,” is the message Endicott delivered in his fourth State of the City address to a group of nearly 100 people at Juniper Golf Course on Wednesday afternoon.

For most of the hourlong speech, Endicott laid out the groundwork the city has done to attract jobs to town.

Redmond has introduced initiatives that benefit business as part of its

long-term strategic plan. Endicott Tax incentives and development assistance funds are available to new employers through most of downtown Redmond.

Planning has begun on a new medical business district. Final upgrades to downtown streets are expected later this year. And the governor just signed a bill into law that zones 465 acres east of U.S. Highway 97 as industrial land, which, according to Endicott, may be the largest stretch of such land in Oregon.

“Government doesn’t create jobs,” Endicott said. “Government creates an environment where jobs can be cre-

ated. We’re doing our very best to do that here.”

Other incentives Endicott spoke about include a “Promote Redmond” tourism campaign, plans to establish more flights out of the Redmond airport and a capital maintenance plan to improve city infrastructure.

By touting such plans, Endicott may be hinting at what the city will take on in the coming fiscal year. The longterm strategic plan features more than 200 ideas for the city to undertake in its effort to create more jobs, but a oneyear work plan for council is still being decided on.

“We’re analyzing that right now,” Endicott said. “Some of those we can do right now ... some of those we can’t.

But some of those ideas ... will be implemented in the fiscal year 2012-13.”

MOUNTAIN VIEW

Students will help redesign disputed dance

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Mountain View High School’s annual South Seas dance will either have a different look or a replacement next winter.

The dance engendered controversy earlier this year at a Bend-La Pine school board meeting when parents and a student criticized the dancing and dress — or lack thereof — at the beach-themed event. Other students have criticized the dance, claiming that school administrators enforce rules too tightly.

Principal Katie Legace has met with staff, students, parents and board members in recent months to discuss the dance’s future. Earlier this month, the school’s site council took up the issue.

The consensus, Legace said, is that something should change. Students will play a key role in that change, helping to design a new dance or a changed South Seas format, Legace said.

“The more you can get students to buy in, the better the chance they’ll be happy,” she said.

Interest in the dance appears to be waning, with attendance falling by about half in recent years.

Mountain View will convene a student focus group in early April.

Legace put out a call for student volunteers, and five asked to be included. The school’s activities coordinator will pick five more from student leadership ranks, according to Legace.

The students will likely create several dance proposals. The school’s administration will make the final call on changing South Seas or launching a new dance, something Legace hopes will happen by the end of the year.

Students have already offered suggestions to Legace, including tightening the South Seas dress code to require that male students wear a shirt and at least board shorts.

The school board left the work at the school level, though each member has criticized the South Seas dance as it now stands.

PRINEVILLE — In a largely silent gym at Crook County High School, nearly 90 Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps cadets stand rigidly, brushing bits of lint from their khaki uniforms.

A cadet in the front row fusses with his belt buckle.

The general is coming.

Wednesday was inspection day for students in the school’s Navy JROTC program, an event that serves as a final exam of sorts for the unit, according to commanding officer Melissa Lopez.

To do the honors, the school brought in Oregon Army National Guard Brig.

Gen. Eric Bush, better known around town as Prineville Police Chief Eric Bush.

With Bush minutes away, Master Chief Donnie Jackman offered his cadets encouragement, and a warning about the risks of standing at attention for too long.

“If you start feeling hot and sweaty, please go down on a knee,” Jackman said. “It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Lopez, a senior at the high school with plans to go to Oregon State University next fall on a JROTC scholarship, said nerves are a big part of inspection day. Cadets don’t know what the inspector will ask them, Lopez said, and if they lock their knees while standing at attention, they can pass out due to restricted blood flow.

“I’ve never seen it, but it’s a real thing,” she said.

State offices close Friday for furlough

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

Pins and medals that were presented to Navy JROTC cadets at the program’s inspection day Wednesday at Crook County High School.

Navy Cmdr. Russ Robison, who oversees the unit along with Jackman, said though the cadets probably get more nervous than they need to, forcing them to perform under pressure is an important part of the inspection.

“The idea here is to put somebody impressive that they don’t know right in front of them,” Robison said.

Bush spent nearly an hour walking up and down the lines of cadets, scoring them on the appearance of their uniforms and quizzing them on their plans for the future.

Though Bush was smiling through much of the inspection, he said he could tell the cadets were anxious.

“I can understand why they’d be nervous. I was 18 once — that’s when I joined the military — and I’d be nervous as well.”

— Oregon Army National Guard Brig. Gen. Eric Bush, Prineville’s police chief

Most state offices will be closed Friday in an attempt to save money.

The unpaid furlough day, expected to save $2 million, is the first of 10 that many state workers will take in the upcoming two-year budget cycle.

A state website lists all the agencies that are closed.

“We look forward to restoration of a full work schedule for all state agencies when the economy improves,” the site states.

The next furlough Friday is May 25. Before the year is out, state workers will be required to take furloughs on Aug. 17, Oct. 18 and Nov. 23.

The Division of Driver and Motor Vehicles says the days before and after furloughs can be particularly busy. The department encourages people to accomplish as much as they can online.

State courts will be closed, but the Oregon University System will not be affected.

JROTC Continued from C1 “I can understand why they’d be nervous,� Bush said. “I was 18 once — that’s when I joined the military — and I’d be nervous as well.�

Bush said despite their anxiety, the cadets he met were personable and professional. The Crook County JROTC unit is a “topnotch program,� he said, and should be a source of pride for the community.

Chief Petty Officer Nathaniel Stevenson, a junior at the high school, said he thought the inspection went well. When a cadet slips up during an inspection, the cadets nearby notice, Ste-

Park and the downtown ice rink.

Endicott said the city will continue to support local families by upgrading and adding to its parks system.

He also plans to engage the community more. The city will upgrade its website, improve its use of social media and reach out the old fashioned way with face-to-face meetings, he said. “I’m going to start having a youth town hall every year,� Endicott said, explaining that the idea has worked well for the city of Beaverton. “And I’m going to go a step further ... and have a town hall with seniors as well.� — Reporter: 541-617-7837 ehidle@bendbulletin.com

venson said, and the desire to avoid letting down the unit is the source of much of the nervousness. “When we mess up on anything, the crowd doesn’t see it, but the inspector sees it,� he said.

Any mistakes the unit may have made have been minor.

Bush said the unit presented itself every bit as well as a unit of enlisted men and women, and that the skills the cadets have learned in JROTC will serve them well long after high school. “There are a lot of kids that are set on a glide path for success in life that they wouldn’t be on if it wasn’t for this program,� he said. — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammers@bendbulletin.com

O N Election date challenge rejected

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The election for Oregon labor commissioner will be in November, not in May when it typically occurs, after a judge on Wednesday rejected a legal challenge filed by a Republican candidate.

Officials on both sides of the dispute said Judge Steven Price refused to grant Bruce Starr’s request to block plans by election officials to hold the election in November.

Starr and his Democratic rival, Brad Avakian, both had been planning on a May 15 election until they found out in recent days that the contest would actually take place in

November — a decision that upended the race after candidates spent money and built campaign operations around plans for a May election. Now, Starr will re-evaluate his plans, he said.

“It turns my life upsidedown to a large extent,” said Starr, a state senator from Hillsboro. “I’ve got to have a conversation with my wife and figure out how to manage this election going through to November.”

In most years, candidates for nonpartisan offices like labor commissioner appear on the May primary ballot, and if nobody gets a majority, the top two candidates face each other in November. With only

two candidates on the ballot this year, the candidates and other political observers widely assumed the race would be decided in May. But Secretary of State Kate Brown’s office determined that an obscure state law from 2009 requires the labor commissioner to be chosen in November, but only in 2012.

Starr sued Brown, a Democrat, and accused her of making a political decision to help fellow Democrats. In a statement Wednesday, Brown praised the judge’s decision.

“The law is clear and was voted on by the legislature in 2009,” Brown’s statement said.

Avakian said the new election date won’t change his

strategy or make much of a difference for his campaign.

“I really trust the voters to make good, thoughtful decisions, whether they’re voting in May or they’re voting in November,” Avakian said.

Price, a retired Washington County judge filling in at the Marion County Circuit Court, ruled that Starr wouldn’t be irreparably harmed by a November election, so his case didn’t meet the standard for a preliminary injunction, said Gregory Chaimov, Starr’s lawyer. There’s no process for appealing the judge’s decision, and there’s not enough time to let the legal process play out before ballots must be printed, he said.

DROUGHT IN KLAMATH BASIN

O B

Tree topples, pins woman, who lives PORTLAND — A Portland Fire and Rescue spokesman says a large tree fell across a downtown Portland street, pinning a woman walking nearby.

Spokesman Paul Corah says the woman was “pretty much cocooned between branches” and firefighters were about to walk her out of the maze Wednesday evening. Corah calls her “the luckiest woman alive.”

Stuart Vanriette said the woman is his 52-year-old sister Sabrina Vanriette, who suffered a broken collarbone. He says she was scared and “she knows how lucky she is.” She was hospitalized in Portland.

The tree fell near the Portland Art Museum. It also broke some stained glass windows at a nearby church.

A city tree expert estimates the elm tree was about 75 feet tall and between 80 and 100 years old.

The expert suggested root decay caused the tree to topple.

Willie Nelson backs marijuana initiative

Jeff Barnard / The Associated Press

An irrigation ditch stands dry in the Klamath Irrigation District near Klamath Falls in 2010. With snowpack running below normal, farmers are waiting to hear if they will get water, or face shutoffs like 2001, when water was diverted to the Klamath River for salmon.

Dry winter may signal tough summer ahead

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

Another tough summer could be shaping up for salmon and farmers in the Klamath Basin of Southern Oregon and Northern California.

Klamath County commissioners in Klamath Falls declared a drought Tuesday, the first step toward state and federal drought declarations that would trigger aid programs and allow farmers to pump emergency wells for irrigation.

On the California end of the basin, Humboldt County and the Hoopa Valley Tribe are asking state and federal officials to devote more water to salmon in the Trinity River — the biggest Klamath River tributary — rather than divert it to farms in California’s Central Valley.

With a record return of more some 380,000 salmon predicted for the Klamath Basin, three times more than recorded numbers, and snowpacks running below normal, biologists are concerned conditions could be shaping up for a repeat of 2002, when tens of thousands of adult salmon died before they could spawn in the Klamath River.

“The only cold water source that exists is Trinity River water stored in the reservoir,” said Mike Orcutt, fisheries director for the Hoopa Tribe. “We feel clearly that we have a legal en-

titlement to the water. If necessary, we want to be able to do something, rather than collect carcasses, which seemed to be the only option in 2002.”

Straddling the Oregon-California border, the Klamath Basin regularly has trouble meeting the water demands of the 11,400 farms on a federal irrigation project at the top of the basin, and salmon in the river.

The federal government shut off most water to the farms in 2001 to protect threatened coho salmon. After a summer of bitter protests and political battles, the Bush administration restored irrigation to the farms in 2002, only to see tens of thousands of adult salmon die of gill rot diseases that spread rapidly between fish crowded into pools of warm water.

The two events persuaded many farmers, tribes, conservation groups and salmon fishermen to overcome their longstanding differences and agree to a water-sharing plan that is linked to removing four small hydroelectric dams from the Klamath River to help salmon. But political battles have blocked enabling legislation in Congress.

“I have a constant stream of irrigators in my office trying to figure out what they are going to do this year,” said Greg Addington, executive director of the Klamath Water Users Association. “Do they plant,

or try to move outside the project where they can find water somewhere else and grow crops? The way we are set up now, I can’t tell them how much water they will get from the Klamath Project in 2012 until October.

“That’s just one more reason everybody sat down and worked out a settlement agreement. A year like this, maybe there would be less water, but boy, there is value in knowing up front what you’ve got to work with.”

Just a week ago, the snowpack was 61 percent of normal.

That jumped to 84 percent in recent days with new storms.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has warned farmers with junior water rights that they may not get water this year, but a final plan won’t be worked out until next month.

Since 1963, water from the Trinity’s reservoir has been pumped over the mountain to irrigate farms in the Central Valley, contributing to the degradation of salmon habitat in the basin.

A federal plan to restore the Trinity went into effect in 2004, a half century after it was first approved by Congress. It guarantees funding for habitat restoration and minimum flows for fish, but the Hoopa Tribe and Humboldt County contend that a 1959 contract for an extra 50,000 acre-feet of water has never been fulfilled,

Pfizer to pay $3.3M to settle antibiotic case The Associated Press SALEM — Drugmaker Pfizer Inc. has agreed to pay Oregon more than $3.3 million to settle claims that the company used misleading statements and studies to market an antibiotic.

The settlement announced Tuesday by state Attorney General John Kroger comes after a two-year state investigation of Pfizer’s marketing of

Zyvox, which is used to treat pneumonia and bacterial skin infections.

The state says Pfizer used “unreliable and unsubstantiated claims” in marketing Zyvox as a better choice than a cheaper, generic antibiotic. The state Justice Department says Pfizer’s sales representatives distributed copies of flawed clinical studies throughout Oregon to support the marketing

claims.

The Oregonian reports that Pfizer denied the allegations.

In a statement, the company said it was “pleased to resolve this investigation and avoid the further time and cost of litigation.”

The newspaper says the Oregon settlement builds on a 2009 multi-state settlement that involved Zyvox and other drugs.

and may have been absorbed into water commitments for the Sacramento Delta.

“We are acutely aware that in 2002, when the fish kill occurred, a good number of those fish were destined for the Trinity,” said Orcutt. “We want that (extra water) to be in our tool chest this year because of the record predicted (salmon) run size.”

PORTLAND — Willie Nelson has endorsed the initiative that would legalize marijuana in Oregon and appears in a video in support of the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act. The singer said he was enlisted in the campaign last week by activist Paul Stanford, of Portland, who helped Nelson obtain an Oregon medical marijuana card.

Nelson says marijuana should be regulated and taxed like tobacco, freeing police to focus limited resources on more-serious offenses.

Stanford says the petition has about 55,000 of the more than 87,000 signatures it needs to put marijuana petition on the November ballot.

Guilty plea entered in child sex crimes OREGON CITY — A 37year-old Dallas man pleaded guilty to sex crimes with a 15-year-old Lake Oswego girl that began with online chats.

Erik Christofer Sorenson was sentenced Tuesday in Clackamas County Circuit Court to three years in prison after pleading guilty

to charges of rape, sodomy and online sexual corruption of a child.

The Oregonian reports he’s a former juvenile corrections officer who met the girl online and used video chats for sexually explicit displays that led to meetings.

The girls’ family says the experience turned her against the family and lowered her grades in school. She’s in therapy.

Report: Commission must tackle gambling PORTLAND — A report prepared for the Oregon Lottery Commission says it needs to focus more on problem gambling, especially among young people, as it considers online games.

One of the recommendations calls for a ban on cartoon characters in advertising.

The 26-page report was ordered by the commission.

A copy was obtained by The Oregonian through a public records request.

The author of the report, Jeffrey Marotta, says the Lottery Commission needs to reassess the competing demands of raising money for the state and minimizing harm to the public.

Lottery spokesman Chuck Bauman says officials are reviewing the recommendations.

Average gas price in state hits $4 a gallon PORTLAND — Oregon’s average gasoline price has hit $4.

The AAA organization said the per-gallon price rose 2.5 cents over the past week and reached a level not seen since 2008.

The AAA’s survey shows the national average is $3.85, and prices are at record levels for the time of the year. The AAA says it expects the national average to peak at about $4.25.

The organization said the price of gasoline has hit $4 in eight states and the District of Columbia.

Secretary of State failed candidates

S

ecretary of State Kate Brown has achieved the small miracle of confusing voters and candidates about the date of the election for

state labor commissioner.

Until Friday, it would have been hard to find anyone in the state who did not believe the election would be on the May primary ballot.

That’s what the Secretary of State’s website indicated.

That’s what Bruce Avakian, a Democrat and the current commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, believed.

That’s what the challenger, state Sen. Bruce Starr, RHillsboro, believed.

Then on Friday, Starr’s staff made a phone call to Brown’s office to ensure her office had everything it needed for the May voter’s pamphlet. Brown’s staff announced that the race would be on the ballot in November, not May. At the very least, it’s incompetence that Brown’s staff knew but didn’t bother to notify the candidates or to have accurate information on the state’s website.

The timing of the election could make a difference. In May, although the labor commissioner race is nonpartisan, there may be a big uptick

in Republican voters because of the Republican presidential primary. That could help Starr.

Brown has issued a statement to clarify that the date of the election was not a partisan decision. She said Section 22a of a bill the Legislature passed in 2009 “clearly states that the next BOLI Commissioner would be elected in November and for a two-year term.�

If it was clear, why didn’t the candidates know? Why didn’t Brown’s office have the correct information on its website?

Starr filed a lawsuit, challenging the law. He told us he has evidence that the clear legislative intent was that the election would be in May. The judge ruled Wednesday in favor of Brown.

Brown had said earlier in a statement that “I dedicate every day to doing my job to the best of my ability by serving all Oregonians, and ensuring fair, accurate and transparent elections.�

This election, she failed the candidates. She let down the voters.

Don’t let HUBZone bill die

T

he Department of Housing and Urban Development and Small Business Administration apparently have gotten Sen. Jeff Merkley’s message: Act faster to create Historically Underutilized Business Zones, or we’ll set a deadline for the process that you cannot ignore. HUD will have updated census figures available in a couple of months. It’s what happens next that will be critical.

HUBZones are areas in which small businesses can get priority for federal contracts. The zones are determined using U.S. Census data, meaning they’re chosen once every 10 years. Because Deschutes County was economically sound in 2000, it did not qualify for HUBZone status, though both Crook and Jefferson counties did.

Since then, Deschutes County has gone through not one but two recessions, though the one that began in late 2001 was shortlived and saw the county’s unemployment rise to “only� 9.8 percent. The current recession, we all know, has been far from shortlived and a 9.8

percent unemployment rate looks pretty good.

Being in tough enough economic shape — poverty levels, income statistics and unemployment rates are all considered — to qualify as a HUBZone is only half the battle, however. Once census numbers are crunched, the SBA designates HUBZone areas. It’s a process that traditionally has taken two years.

Merkley is aware of the situation and has introduced legislation that would correct it by forcing HUD to get its numbers in order within two months of receiving figures from the Census Bureau. The SBA would then have an additional three months to put HUBZone designations in place.

There’s no guarantee that SBA will act more quickly than that this time out, though Merkley is hopeful. Meanwhile, his bill, on which he was joined by Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, should not be allowed to die. There’s nothing like a law lurking in the background to assure that a one-time speedy response becomes a permanent thing.

My Nickel’s Worth Wrong choice for footbridge A recent article in The Bulletin discussed two proposals for a footbridge to be constructed below the First Street rapids on the Deschutes River.

Planning proponents have offered two options, called Alternative A and Alternative B, and have characterized B as a “much better place� to build a footbridge.

Anyone who frequents this area of the Deschutes River knows this characterization is simply untrue. There are numerous places where a footbridge could be constructed. The choice of Alternative B could not be more disruptive to nature or residents.

The proposed B site is in the middle of one of the few natural areas of freeflowing river remaining in Bend. It would impact more neighboring residences than alternative A. Proposed site B would disrupt this scarce natural area with a manmade intrusion. The east bank of the river has beautiful boulders and old growth ponderosa pines.

The sound of the rushing Deschutes River is rare in Bend, but this is one of the few spots where one can sit and enjoy Mother Nature’s aquatic symphony.

The Deschutes River is Bend’s crown jewel and should be treated with reverence. The current proposal disrespects the Deschutes River.

As a nature lover, a Deschutes River lover and a longtime resident of Bend, I can truly say that Alternative B is a wrong choice for the proposed footbridge.

Parks decision-makers need to rethink and revise their bad decision.

Support trappers

Vote should be deliberate

I am not a trapper, but I support those who pursue their traditional recreational opportunities.

Trapping comes with investment in American-made equipment. Trappers help support our wildlife through licenses, tags and fees. Trappers are tourists during an otherwise slow time of year for businesses. They buy gas and groceries and frequent restaurants and motels. They help support our economy.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife does a good job regulating animal populations and trappers. Trappers give them the necessary information they need to manage the resource.

Take that away and you have chaos in animal balances.

Traps are expensive personal equipment, protected by laws and regulations. They are designed to do minimum harm to animals.

I personally do not want trap signs all over our public land, which will eventually litter our environment.

We live in a good state. The way of life here should not be changed on a whim of outrage.

We need common sense. People have moved here because they like it better than where they came from.

Let’s not change this place so it’s like that place.

We should understand and respect other people’s activities, not do away with them one by one. People need to understand regulations on dogs and trappers, and be more aware of our way of life.

Larry Storey Prineville

This is an open letter to all people of good conscience regardless of political party.

Please Google “Cloward-Piven� and with an open mind ask yourself if our current debt and entitlements are strategic or accidental.

There is a lot of obfuscation out there that this knowledge may clarify. “Alinsky� would also be educational and relevant to Google. Your vote this next presidential election should be deliberate and informed, regardless of which side you choose.

Dan Daley Bend

Board president is responsible In response to Steve Thorp’s comments in “My Nickel’s Worth� (March 6) about keeping the Redmond Humane Society’s former president, my take on this issue is a little different.

The president of the board is ultimately responsible for the actions of the organization. If there were issues with the expense of a dog trainer at the shelter or any other financial problems, it is the duty of the president of the board to address them, put guidelines or budgets in place and monitor the progress. To say it was someone else’s problem or mistake and then resign is poor leadership.

If you are in charge, fix the problem.

It appears that new leadership at the Redmond Humane Society is exactly what is needed.

Televising health care case would cause supreme distraction

By Charles Lane The Washington Post

T

he health-care reform case gives the Supreme Court a chance to revolutionize constitutional law. But the revolution will not be televised. Keeping to long-established policy, the justices rejected live coverage of next week’s historic oral argument. Transcripts and audio recordings will be available that day.

But only those lucky enough to secure one of the 400 seats in the courtroom can see the momentous debate.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a co-sponsor of bipartisan legislation to require cameras at the Supreme Court, expressed disappointment at the justices’ decision: “Every American should have the opportunity to see and hear this landmark case as it plays out, not just the select few allowed in the courtroom,� he said in a statement. “The health-care reform law has ramifications for the entire

country. Video coverage would help with the public’s understanding of not only the controversial new law, but also the American judicial system.�

Grassley spoke for many who regard the court’s resistance to live coverage as an affront to the public’s right to know, or at least a missed opportunity for civic education.

Fashionable as such arguments may be, however, they misunderstand the Supreme Court’s role in the U.S. system of government.

Live TV is appropriate for congressional debates, votes and hearings because Congress is an arena of democratic struggle and majority rule. In that purely political setting, voters have a right to maximum feasible information, as a matter of civic education and official accountability.

The Supreme Court, by contrast, is not a political institution — or, at least, it is not supposed to be. It is a legal institution in which the best

argument, popular or not, wins. In fact, the court is often called upon to overturn the will of the majority if it violates the Constitution.

The court performs this role best when maximally insulated from political pressures. Televising oral argument would subtly but significantly puncture that insulation by exposing the justices and the attorneys who argue before them to the same risks of personal criticism and, indeed, ridicule faced by elected politicians.

Over time, this would create incentives for participants at oral argument to play to the crowd or, alternatively, to play it safe. Either way, live video coverage could distort a process that must be conducted without any concern for short-term public reaction.

Does the risk seem trivial? Perhaps, but it’s still greater than any incremental benefits televising the proceedings would produce.

Audio recordings and verbatim

transcripts are available, as are majority and dissenting opinions. How much more understanding is to be gained from seeing the faces of justices and attorneys live and in color?

Some say live TV would benefit the court’s image. As Elena Kagan put it in 2009, well before she was nominated to the court, “I think if you put cameras in the courtroom, people would say, ‘Wow.’ They would see their government working at a really high level.�

But even if image-burnishing were a proper objective for the court, it’s not necessary. Gallup polling from last fall showed that 63 percent of the public has confidence in the federal judiciary, a far higher level of trust than exists in Congress or the executive branch.

The court’s approval rating has declined from 61 percent to 46 percent over the past two years, Gallup found, probably due to a backlash from opponents of the 2010 Citizens United ruling on campaign finance

regulation. Still, the court is three times more popular than Congress.

As for accountability, sunlight is, indeed, a good disinfectant — but exactly what is the undisclosed scandal at Supreme Court oral argument? With the exchanges already transparently documented, and open to a live audience, including the media, the justices can’t hide outrageous conduct.

Cameras in the Supreme Court are a solution in search of a problem. No doubt live TV coverage would bring the court down into the democratic hurly-burly with the rest of us, while providing fresh grist for talk shows, YouTube, AutoTune and other apps.

But it would represent the triumph of mindless “full disclosure� over genuine constitutional concerns — and begin the deterioration of one of the few public proceedings in Washington that can still be described as solemn. — Charles Lane is a member of The Washington Post editorial staff.

Man becomes first in region to leave hospital with an artificial heart

By Matt Lorch McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SEATTLE — Christopher Marshall left the University of Washington Medical Center on Wednesday without a human heart. Instead, Marshall, 51, has an artificial heart in his chest with a power supply he carries around in a backpack.

Marshall, of Wasilla, Alaska, has suffered from a condition known as cardiomyopathy since 1999. He came to Seattle for a heart evaluation in January, where doctors determined his heart was failing and that he would not survive a flight back home.

The doctors decided to operate. During a sixhour procedure, surgeons removed two thirds of Marshall’s heart, including many pumping chambers and valves. They replaced it with the world’s only approved, totally artificial heart. “It’s going at a 130 beats per minute pushing air out of there,� said Dr. Nahush Mokadam, co-director of heart transplantation at the UW Medical Center. “Which is helping that blood circulate around Chris. This simulates

what our hearts do naturally, but is now required to do pneumatically.�

Within days of the surgery, Marshall, an instrument tech for an oil company, was walking the halls of the hospital. “I walked four miles in the ward just the other day,� he said. “Last night I slacked off and only walked two and three quarter miles.�

While in the hospital, patients with artificial hearts like Marshall’s must remain hooked up to a machine called a driver, which weighs more than 400 pounds. But Marshall was able to leave the hospital by using a much smaller battery-powered driver that is still in trials and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The artificial heart is not meant to be permanent. Marshall will stay in Seattle until a donor becomes available and he can undergo a transplant — which can be a yearslong process.

Meanwhile, Marshall and his wife will have to get used to the constant noise created by his new heart and the machine that powers it. “I’m using earplugs at night,�

Marshall said. “Now that I’m going home, my wife is going to have to get used to it.�

Intoxicated woman drove herself to jail on St. Patrick’s Day, police say SEATTLE — A woman is under investigation for driving under the influence after her car was found blocking the law enforcement entrance to the King County Jail in the early morning hours after St. Patrick’s Day. Officers were leaving the jail just before 2:00 a.m. when one of them noticed a Dodge Stratus blocking the driveway. Inside was a 26-year-old female from Des Moines who said she

had dropped her cellphone in the car and was looking for it. She appeared intoxicated police said, so they performed an investigation and took her into custody.

Troopers in King County arrested 43 drivers on suspicion of DUI during a 24-hour stretch on St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The woman, however, was the only person among them who drove herself to jail. — McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Los Angeles Times reporter broke a newsroom barrier

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The only woman in a sea of men in suits, Dorothy Townsend can’t help but stand out in the of- FEATURED ficial photoOBITUARY graph of the Los Angeles Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for coverage of the Watts riots.

The picture also inadvertently documents Townsend’s other historic role at the newspaper. After insisting on being reassigned from “the women’s pages� in early 1964, she became the first female staff writer to cover local news in a city room long populated only by men.

Townsend, who wrote for the Times from 1954 to 1986, died March 5 of cancer at her home in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles, said her cousin, Louise Hagan.

She was 88. “I don’t think any of us at that time realized what she had accomplished merely by making it to the newsroom,� Noel Greenwood, a former Times senior editor, said in an email. “This was during an era when women were thought to be such delicate creatures that they were not fit for the challenges of hard news reporting, and were consigned to the features section,� he wrote. “I always remembered Dorothy as a heroine.�

‘A pioneer’ To the female journalists who followed her into the city room beginning in the early 1970s, Townsend was “a pioneer, although she never considered herself such,� said Myrna Oliver, a former Times reporter who joined the local

Los Angeles Times file photo

Dorothy Townsend in 1968.

Townsend blazed a trail for women at the Los Angeles Times during her 1954-86 career at the newspaper. Part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for coverage of the Watts riots, Townsend died March 5 at 88.

news staff in 1972. “She complained that her editors tried to keep her from going into the worst areas,�

Oliver said. “She said, ‘I can run faster than any of those men in the city room.’ She was a tough, petite little lady — and an excellent reporter.�

When the Watts riots broke out in August 1965, Townsend demanded that she be allowed to cover them, said Bill Thomas, who oversaw the Times’ coverage of the riots and later became the paper’s editor. “She was ever ambitious, at my desk all the time, saying, ‘Send me, send me, send me,’ �

Thomas said. “Everyone was getting clobbered� covering the riots “but she insisted that she was one of the gang, so I said, ‘All right.’�

Born Feb. 25, 1924, in Claude, Texas, she was the only child of Randolph Townsend and

his wife, Vernon. After her parents divorced when she was an infant, she grew up in Texas and Long Beach, Calif., and often lived with her grandmother and an aunt.

As a young girl, Dorothy decided she wanted to be a great reporter, her cousin said.

She received an associate’s degree from Fullerton Junior College in 1948, the same year she started working at the Costa Mesa Globe Herald.

She later attended UCLA and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1960 from Cal State L.A.

Subjects evolved Upon joining the Times as a “women’s staff reporter,� she regularly covered society events. But as feature sections evolved, so did her subjects.

By 1960, she was interviewing future first lady Lady Bird Johnson and profiling teenage mountaineers who climbed the Matterhorn for “what probably is the strangest summer job at Disneyland,� Townsend wrote.

First lady Betty Ford once offered her an exclusive interview if Townsend would fly with her on Air Force One from Chicago to L.A., so the newspaper “rushed a suitcase to her with some toothpaste and other necessities,� her cousin said.

At the Times, Townsend also met her future husband, Richard Vanderveld, who worked in the business section in the 1960s. They were married from 1968 until 2006, when he died at 80. The couple had no children.

When asked if Townsend spoke about how difficult it was to break the gender barrier in the newsroom, her cousin replied: “Nothing was hard for Dorothy. If she met an obstacle, she went around it or climbed over it. She was very determined but also very kind.�

• Mudslide blocks Amtrak train; Eugene is hardest hit by snowfall The Associated Press PORTLAND — An early spring storm dropped more than half a foot of snow on Oregon’s southern Willamette Valley on Wednesday, while slides and snow in the southern Cascades halted an Amtrak train and briefly trapped several vehicles.

An Amtrak spokeswoman said the Coast Starlight train from Los Angeles to Seattle, carrying 246 passengers and crew, hit a tree lying across the tracks in the Cascade Mountains and a mudslide then blocked the train. No injuries were reported.

A spare engine had to be sent to bring passenger rail cars back to the station in Chemult, about 70 miles south of Bend on U.S. Highway 97, spokeswoman Christine Leeds said. The company planned to bus passengers out of the area.

20,000 lost power The area hit by the storm ranged from Roseburg through southwest Washington and eastward into Central and northeast Oregon. But the heaviest impact was in Eugene and Springfield.

The storm had dumped 7 inches of snow at the Eugene airport before precipitation turned to rain in the evening, National Weather Service meteorologist Miles Higa said.

About 20,000 customers in the Eugene area lost power at the peak of the storm as heavy, wet snow brought down trees and power lines.

“This will probably go down as a pretty notable storm at the turn from winter to spring,” weather service hydrologist Andy Bryant said. It will easily be the largest storm this time of year in Eugene, he said.

Measurements at the airport show March storms dropped

snow measuring 7.6 inches in 1951 and 13.7 inches in 1916 — both in the first week of the month. In only a few years have late March snowfalls there totaled more than an inch.

Bryant said there was concern about flooding this week in the Roseburg area and along the Coquille River flowing through Coos County.

Downed power lines shut down highways linking central valley cities with Central Oregon for a time. A stretch of U.S. Highway 20 was reopened near Sweet Home after a closure of several hours. The transportation department said state Highway 35 near Mount Hood was reopened after an avalanche left 4 feet of snow on the highway.

Bryant said the storm could leave 2 feet of new snow in the Cascade Range. At midday, Timberline Lodge at Mount Hood reported 19 inches.

PREP GIRLS TENNIS: SEASON OUTLOOK

Crook County looks to repeat as state champion

By Robert Husseman The Bulletin

When Crook County won the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A state tennis championship in 2011 — the first in school history — it was vindication of the work coach Lloyd Rodgers and the Cowgirls had put into building a program, from early exposure to high school competition.

With six seniors expected to be among Crook County’s top 12, the Cowgirls are in excellent position

to repeat their feat.

“Oh sure, it’s always a goal (to win state),” Rodgers says. “It’s always in the back of our minds.”

Contributing to the cause will be seniors Katie Brown and Kayla Morgan, winners of the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A doubles title last

season. Brown and Morgan, the first Crook County tennis players in school history to win an individual state title, will look to defend their championship this season, according to Rodgers.

“They’re great — they listen, they communicate with each other,” Rodgers says. “(Katie) is tall, with a long reach; (Kayla) is short and fast. They’re both solid athletes.”

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Lodwick leads Wazzu to win at OSU

NCAA Sweet 16 starts tonight Four teams will move into the men’s NCAA tournament Elite Eight tonight. Here’s a look at the four regional semifinals to be played.

EAST REGIONAL No. 1 Syracuse vs. No. 4 Wisconsin Time: 4:15 p.m. PDT TV: CBS The buzz: Wisconsin games can be painful to watch, so imagine what it must be like to play against the Badgers.

The slower the pace, the better for the Badgers in this one. Wisconsin’s three-point shooting is going to be important; the Badgers hit 36.3 percent from beyond the arc, but Syracuse’s zone limits opponents to 30.7 percent.

No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 6 Cincinnati Time: 6:45 p.m.

TV: CBS The buzz: This is just the 10th meeting in history between these in-state schools, with the last coming in 2006. Cincy has won two national titles in basketball, and beat the Buckeyes in the final both times (1961 and ’62). The big-man matchup between Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger and Cincy’s Yancy Gates should be extremely entertaining.

WEST REGIONAL No. 1 Michigan State vs. No. 4 Louisville Time: 4:47 p.m.

TV: TBS The buzz: No rest for the weary; Spartans coach Tom Izzo goes from matching wits with SLU coach Rick Majerus to matching wits with Louisville’s Rick Pitino. Louisville doesn’t appear to have anyone who will be able to handle Michigan State F Draymond Green, the best allaround player left in the tourney.

No. 3 Marquette vs. No. 7 Florida Time: 7:17 p.m.

TV: TBS The buzz: This is all about Florida’s threepoint shooting; the Gators hit 38.3 percent of their shots from beyond the arc, but the Golden Eagles’ perimeter defense has been solid all season.

Marquette isn’t big, but it is more physical than Florida.

HUNTING & FISHING

The Bulletin

Light snow began to fall as the wind whipped through the rugged canyon.

But even a bitterly cold March day was not a bad one on the Crooked River.

The fish were biting near Big Bend Campground, just downstream from Prineville Reservoir, and two fly anglers just upstream of me were catching and releasing trout after trout, and whitefish after whitefish.

“Yesterday we caught 70 between the two of us,” said Bryan Hostetler, of Sweet Home.

Hostetler was on a multiday fishing trip with friend Charles McAllaster, of Albany.

Surprisingly for such a chilly day — temperatures were still below freezing at the time — the two were casting dry flies to rising redband trout and having success.

I was nymphing with a pheasant tail but not landing any fish. I asked Hostetler about the best size of nymphs to use, and he was nice enough to supply me with a Rainbow Warrior, size No. 20, and a Dorsey’s Top Secret Midge, size No. 22.

The tiny flies did the trick, and soon I had pulled in and released several decent-sized whitefish and a small redband. The fish were in faster-moving water, likely looking for more protection during a low-flow period of 77 cubic feet per second.

See Crooked / D4

“The river is easily wadeable and you can get to all parts of the river, which is not necessarily true during the summertime.

While (77 cfs) is not optimal for fish production, it certainly is far better than the 10 to 35 cfs we’ve seen historically this time of year.”

— Brett Hodgson, fish biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

The Associated Press CORVALLIS — Bend’s Abe Lodwick set career highs with 23 points and 12 rebounds Wednesday to lead Washington State to a 72-55 win against Pac-12 rival Oregon State in a College Basketball Invitational semifinal at Gill Coliseum.

Reggie Moore added 22 points for Washington State (18-16).

Eric Moreland had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Oregon State (21-15).

Washington State advances to the CBI’s best-ofthree championship against Pittsburgh, which beat Butler 68-62 in overtime in the other semifinal Wednesday.

The Cougars played most of the game without all-conference senior forward Brock Motum, who was helped off the floor less than two minutes in with a right ankle injury. Motum is the conference’s scoring leader, averaging better than 18 points per game.

“I thought our guys really rallied, knowing that our first team all-league guy was down and out for the game,” Washington State coach Ken Bone said. “Our guys were able to manufacture points in different ways. They did a great job. I thought they showed a lot of character, a lot of heart.”

Oregon State played without starting guard Ahmad Starks, who sat out with an illness.

FOOTBALL COMMENTARY

This offseason, it’s all NFL all the time • The suspension of Saints coach Sean Payton and Tim Tebow going to the Jets were the latest twists

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

D

rew Brees declared himself speechless, so you can only imagine how Sean Payton felt after learning he would be taking a year off without pay.

Imagine, too, those chilly weeks this fall when Mark Sanchez will be

overthrowing receivers, and fans at the Meadowlands just might be chanting Tim Tebow’s name. That will happen just as surely as Rex Ryan will declare that Tebow is the final piece he needs for the Super Bowl run he always guarantees.

Nothing really stretches the imagination anymore in the NFL.

Not bounties, not stiff suspensions.

Certainly not some crazy moves from crazy Rex himself.

I mean, raise your hand if you ever thought Peyton Manning would be under center for the Denver Broncos and fans there would happily bid farewell to the last vestiges of Tebowmania.

This used to be the time of year where only the most hard-core NFL fans had anything to talk about.

See NFL / D4

Jim Hudelson / The Shreveport Times via The Associated Press

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has been suspended by the NFL for the 2012 season because of the team’s bounty program that targeted opposing players.

S B Basketball • Cast removed from UNC guard: Two days after North Carolina sophomore point guard Kendall Marshall underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his right wrist, doctors removed his cast on Wednesday.

It remains unclear whether Marshall will play on Friday night, when the Tar Heels face Ohio in the NCAA Tournament Midwest regional semifinals.

• Fisher signs with Thunder: After winning five NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, Derek Fisher chose the Westleading Oklahoma City Thunder as the team where he wants to go for No. 6. Fisher signed with the Thunder for the remainder of the season on Wednesday, not quite a week after he was traded to Houston by the Lakers and subsequently bought out of his contract instead of playing with the Rockets.

• VCU’s Smart turns down Illinois: Virginia Commonwealth basketball coach Shaka Smart on Wednesday ended speculation that he might take the open job at Illinois by announcing that he’ll stay with the Rams. The decision by the young coach was cause for celebration among VCU fans and disappointment for their Illini counterparts — Illinois’ search for a replacement for fired coach Bruce Weber has begun to resemble the search last year for a new football coach, when the school’s top choices reportedly turned down the Illini. VCU said in a news release that Smart’s $1.2 million contract will be adjusted, but provided no details.

Football • Rules on replay could change: Instant replay could undergo some changes when NFL owners meet next week.

The owners will get proposals to eliminate referees from instant replay reviews and expand what the booth official rules on, and also to allow a player to return during the season from the injured reserve list. The league’s competition committee, prompted by the Buffalo Bills, will propose having the booth official make all decisions on replay reviews. He also would be allowed to review all turnovers just as he now reviews all scoring plays. The committee will also propose expanding the overtime rule used in the postseason — both sides must have

an offensive possession if the receiving team kicks a field goal to start the extra period — to the regular season.

• Bengals reach deal with Green-Ellis: A person familiar with the negotiations says former Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis has agreed to a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, who need someone to replace Cedric Benson.

Green-Ellis spent four seasons with New England, carrying 181 times for 667 yards in 2011 with 11 touchdowns. Various reports had him agreeing to a three-year deal. The Bengals are expected to announce the signing today after final details are completed.

• Alex Smith signs deal with 49ers: Quarterback Alex Smith signed a three-year deal Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers that will pay him $8 million per season with $16.5 million guaranteed. A person with knowledge of the contract details said Smith’s deal can pay him up to $33 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract wasn’t made public.

• RGIII has impressive pro day: Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III was smiling, slapping hands with his receivers and making precise throws.

Just what Griffin had planned for his pro day, when he finally threw Wednesday for NFL personnel. That included owner Dan Snyder and coach Mike Shanahan from the Washington Redskins, who traded three first-round picks and a secondrounder for the No. 2 overall pick in next month’s draft, presumably to get the dual-threat quarterback from Baylor. Griffin was sharp throwing a scripted 51 passes he had been working on with quarterback consultant Terry Shea. Only a few balls even hit the ground.

Baseball • Cardinals ace Carpenter has setback: St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter won’t start opening day after a setback in his recovery from a bulging disk in his neck. The right-hander returned to St. Louis on Tuesday for tests. He threw live batting practice Sunday but didn’t feel right the next day. Kyle Lohse will start April 4 at Miami in his place. Lohse was 14-8 with a 3.39 ERA last season, leading the Cardinals in wins and ERA. — From wire reports

Trail Blazers claim Hickson off waivers PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers have picked up forward J.J. Hickson off waivers.

Hickson was waived by Sacramento on Monday. The Kings acquired him last June from Cleveland for forward Omri Casspi and a conditional future firstround draft pick. He played 35 games for the Kings, averaging 4.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per contest.

Golden State and Phoenix had also been reported to have interest in the 6-foot-9 Hickson, who had been bothered recently by back spasms and had played only six minutes in the past 10 games.

Hickson was a first-round pick by Cleveland out of North Carolina State in 2008. For his career, he has averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen confirmed the move via Twitter.

It was not known if Hickson would be able to join the team for its game against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at the Rose Garden. Portland has lost nine of its past 12 games.

Also on Wednesday, Portland announced rookie guard Elliot Williams will have surgery on his left shoulder later this month and will miss the rest of the season.

Williams dislocated his shoulder during practice on March 8. The Blazers say he will have surgery March 30 in Los Angeles. He is averaging 3.7 points in his 24 appearances.

He threw a brilliant game.”

Lodwick, a senior forward from Bend’s Mountain View High School, also recorded his first collegiate double-double. The Cougars finished with a 41-34 rebounding advantage.

Lodwick was eight for 12 from the field and five for eight from beyond the three-point arc. He has scored in double digits in his past

Crook County scored five runs in the third inning and three more in the fourth, which proved to be more than enough of a cushion for Benton.

“He kept our hitters off-balance, mixing up speeds,” Cougars coach Dave McKae said. “And he had a real good tempo.”

J.D. Larimer went two for three and was hit by a pitch for the Cowboys.

Mountain View’s Drew Wickham went two for three with a double, an RBI and a run scored.

Tennis Continued from D1 Freshman Elsa Harris has quickly established herself as one of the Cowgirls’ top players, and the doubles team of junior Ali Apperson and senior Lisa Pham “are looking really good this year,” according to Rodgers.

Though Crook County has lost the services of seniors and state doubles qualifiers Kelsi Kemper and Braiden Johnston due to injuries, Rodgers has confidence in his team’s depth.

“We’ll lose a lot of seniors this year,” he says, “but we’ll gain some more (good young players) next year.”

In Class 5A, Summit enjoyed the best season in its history last spring, tying for second at the 2011 state tournament. The Storm doubles team of Haley Younger and Lindsey Brodeck, both freshmen last season, gave Summit its second consecutive individual doubles state championship, after Hannah Shephard and Jessie Drakulich won state in 2010. Shephard, a state qualifier in singles last season, is a senior and one of the leaders of the Storm.

“I really like where we’re at as a group,” Summit first-year coach Ryan Cruz said. “What’s impressing me is our depth. Everybody is pushing everybody.”

Cruz, also the Storm’s girls basketball coach, acknowledges the high expectations of his team but has stressed patience and consistent improvement. “(A state title) is one of their goals, but it’s not something we talk about every day,” Cruz says. “If we’re in a position to (compete for a title), we’ll compete our best.”

Bend, co-champions in Class 5A Special District 1 with Summit last season, suffered heavy losses to graduation but returns a standout in junior Kaylee Tornay, a state qualifier in singles last season.

“I don’t like the term ‘rebuilding,’ ” says Lava Bears coach Kevin Collier, “but we’ll be competitive.”

Mountain View lost six seniors to graduation but returns senior Hayati Wolfenden, the Cougars’ top player from last season, and a standout doubles team in seniors Jess Cesar and Betsy Daniel. Sophomore Jenna Wells, a transfer from Summit, is expected to be among Mountain View’s top players.

“We have to see how our younger players step up,” Cougars coach Misha Therrian says. “Hopefully we fall somewhere in the middle of the pack (in district play).”

In Class 6A, Redmond won the Central Valley Conference championship and returns its top player from 2011 in state qualifier Monica Johnson. Panthers coach Nathan Saito also foresees a big year from doubles players Jean Wright and Mandy Dollarhide.

“Monica is more mature, stronger, more experienced,” Saito says. “She’s going to do everything she can to get back to state.”

In Class 4A, Sisters welcomes back state doubles qualifiers Jen Houk and Elise Herron. Outlaws coach Marti Dale expects a breakout year from senior Becky Thomas in singles play.

Madras welcomes back a team “over-

three games, the longest streak of his career.

Washington State led by 10 at halftime and extended the lead to 49-34 on Mike Ladd’s offensive rebound and basket with 15:21 left.

The Beavers got within 49-40 on Jared Cunningham’s three-pointer.

The Cougars later went on a 9-0 run — holding Oregon State scoreless for more than five minutes — to go ahead 60-42 on Patrick Simon’s three-pointer with 8:55 remaining.

Oregon State scored the next seven straight to close within 60-49 on Cunningham’s steal and dunk with 5:41 remaining. But the Beavers would get no closer.

Cunningham finished with 13 points in the fourth game between

the two teams this season.

Washington State won both games in the regular season, by five points at home and 10 on the road, before Oregon State won the Pac-12 first-round matchup 69-64 earlier this month in Los Angeles.

Cunningham finished the season in 13th for career scoring at Oregon State with 1,271 points. Mel Counts (1963) is the only junior in OSU history to score more points in his third year in Corvallis than Cunningham’s 645.

“There has been no decision made about Jared returning for his senior season,” Robinson said.

whole season and every time someone would ask about his future he always kept them at bay out of respect to his team and the program.

I told him at the end tonight that ‘I hope it’s not your last game, but if it is — thank you.’ ” OSU loses just one senior, Kevin McShane, from this season’s team, which went 21-15 — its best win total since winning 22 games in 1989-90.

“It’s an exciting to think about next season,” Robinson said. “We have worked really hard to put this team together and we saw flashes this season of what we envision for the future. We have a long way to go, but I love this team’s work ethic and I think we will be competing at the top of the league next year.”

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 2012

NFL Continued from D1 And talk they would, spending hours before their computers debating the merits of drafting some obscure lineman with a sixthround pick or using it on a running back who might be the next big thing.

The draft is as big as ever, even though everyone already knows this year’s No. 1 pick. But the events of the past few weeks have proven one thing.

We’re a nation consumed by professional football.

Think about it. This weekend we’ll find out which schools will be in the Final Four, and Albert Pujols and his teammates are getting ready for opening day. In the NBA, the playoffs are drawing closer, and teams are scrambling for position even as Linsanity fades away.

And all anyone — even the speechless Brees — wants to talk about is the NFL. Brees expressed his dismay over the yearlong suspension of his coach in New Orleans via Twitter, which is probably just as well. After declaring Payton “a great man, coach, and mentor� there wasn’t much else for Brees to say. “I need to hear an explanation for this,� the Saints quarterback said.

Commissioner Roger Goodell would be glad to give Brees one. Or he can read the papers or the Internet, which are full of details about how Payton’s team arranged for thousands of dollars in bounties to go to headhunters if they knocked targets — including Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers — out of crucial games.

Goodell’s sense of timing might be a little off in announcing the suspension of Payton for a year, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis for eight games, and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams for who knows how long.

He could have waited until Tebow left town in Denver or even until Brees got the long term contract he has been agitating for in New Orleans.

But that’s about the only thing wrong with it.

As head of a league being sued from all sides for failing to protect the health of his players, Goodell had no choice but to come down hard on the Saints and everyone involved in the deplorable practice.

The timing was a little better in running Tebow out of Denver. John Elway and company took only a few hours before shipping Tebow away for basically nothing, though a new subplot developed hours after the Jets announced the trade when questions arose over who was responsible for advances paid to the quarterback.

Nothing surprising there.

Get the Jets involved and expect the bizarre.

Just how Tebow will fit in on the Jets may be a mystery only solved by Ryan. He’s the one who declared Sanchez his quarterback, and he’s the one who helped reward him with a new $40.5 million contract earlier this month despite a shaky and unproductive season.

Now the Jets try to add Tebow, but why?

To make some noise, for one thing. The other team in New York won the Super Bowl, but New Yorkers now can spend the rest of the offseason talking about how Tebow will fit in or why the Jets went after him. It may have been a move born of desperation but, after Ryan and the front office finally landed Tebow, they have created another act for a city that loves a circus.

There hasn’t been an NFL game played in more than six weeks. There won’t be another played for real for another five months. The lure of the league is such, though, that it no longer matters.

Give us a big free agent chase, and we forget about baseball. Throw in a Tebow controversy and a bounty scandal, and basketball isn’t nearly as interesting.

Tebow Time may have run its course. But it’s now NFL Time, all the time.

HUNTING & FISHING COMMENTARY

FISHING REPORT

Petroglyphs and painted Bull trout fishing is fair roosters on a youth hunt at Lake Billy Chinook N

ot far off the highway in a place called Picture Rock Pass there is a rock face carved with petroglyphs by people that lived here long ago. We traced our fingers in the images then looked out across the Silver Lake basin to the west and Summer Lake to the east.

It was a day not unlike the day, Dec. 16, 1843, that John C. Fremont recalled in his journal: “At our feet — more than a thousand feet below — we looked into a green prairie country, in which a beautiful lake, some twenty miles in length, was spread along the foot of the mountains, its shores bordered with green grass. Just then the sun broke out among the clouds, and illuminated the country.�

Photographer Loren Irving retraced the steps of the expedition when Fremont led 26 men and a herd of cattle, mules and horses, south of the Columbia River into unmapped Oregon. Irving spent a year photographing all 31 of Fremont’s campsites in Oregon. The project is documented in the DVD “Finding Fremont in Oregon, 1843.�

Irving wrote in his field notes, “(It) was one of the toughest, if not the most difficult, days the expedition faced in the Oregon portion of their journey... From the Mountain Camp they moved very slowly while in three feet of snow and barely able to see ahead.�

Starting after noon they traveled north along the ridge at least six miles before starting the descent. This put them on the slopes after dark in the deep snow. The advance guard lit fires in the junipers to light the way for those behind. The going was so steep that one pack mule lost its footing and rolled for about 500 feet.

We were at Russ Scott’s place at Lake in the Dunes on a pheasant hunt. Loren Irving provided guidance on the finer points of fly-rodding for the

GARY LEWIS

kids.

It was part of a program I call the Young Hunter Project.

With help from the Friends of NRA, the COSSA Park and the High Desert Safari Club, we take kids outdoors.

Irving drew our attention to Fremont Point, a high escarpment on Winter Ridge and the snow that carpeted its flanks.

The men of Fremont’s party were not the first to make tracks in Central Oregon. Before them, of course, were the Paiutes, Klamaths, Modocs, Shoshone, Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs, Wascos and others. Trappers explored here, but Fremont was the first to leave a written record and a map.

Matt and Dara Smith and their kids arrived as we warmed up on the target range. Matt traps the waters at Lake in the Dunes, to keep the muskrat population in check. “These muskrats do good things,� Matt said. “But they bore beneath the waterline and build their tunnels in the dams. The rats keep the cattails from taking over, but they breed so fast that if we didn’t keep their numbers down, these lakes would turn into mud flats.�

The kids followed Matt on his trap line for a few minutes. Then we headed into the fields for pheasant.

Sam King, 16, thumbed rounds into the borrowed Weatherby, Mikayla loaded the CZ side-by-side and I stoked the twin tubes of my Lefever. Sam, Paxton, Ty, Mikayla, Emmett and Gus were outfitted in state-mandated orange. This was Emmett’s first hunt. Although he would not carry a gun, I put a bird vest on him.

Luke, Russ’s 3-year-old German shorthair, cast back and forth, then caught the

scent of a running bird. We followed through the marsh grass and caught up when Luke locked up, on point. The painted rooster broke from the grass and Sam dropped it. “That was awesome,� Emmett shouted. Then he found out why I had assigned him to wear the vest. By the time we were finished, he was toting three pheasants.

When we returned for the second group, Sam King picked up the fly rod and connected with a few of the big rainbows for which Lake in the Dunes is famous. Out in the rye grass, the kids’ shotguns spoke again.

From a vantage across from the Summer Lake Store, Irving pointed to the canyon that Fremont, Charles Pruess, Kit Carson, Billy Chinook and the rest descended. Their howitzer became stuck partway down. They retrieved it the next day then started south “to follow a plainly beaten Indian trail leading along this side of the lake.�

Today a paved highway runs along the lake, east and south toward California. That howitzer is on display in the Deschutes County Historical Society museum in Bend, an artifact that connects us to the expedition that helped the United States lay claim to Oregon.

At a time when both England and the United States laid claim to Oregon, Fremont’s journal became a bestseller.

His map charted the course for thousands of families that looked west across the prairies to the Willamette Valley and California. “If Fremont hadn’t made this expedition and left this great map,� Irving said, “this would probably be British Columbia now.� — Gary Lewis is the host of “Adventure Journal� and author of “John Nosler — Going Ballistic,� “Black Bear Hunting,� “Hunting Oregon� and other titles.

FLY-TYING CORNER “This is a good fly to use early and late in the day,� Bob Gaviglio said. “It’s definitely an attractor and I like to use it in weedy areas.�

With a thin profile and the black marabou that contrasts with the sparkle of the body, the Roxy Rufus is a great choice for stillwater trout.

Gaviglio, owner of the Sunriver Fly Shop, says the Rainbow Braid is especially enticing to rainbows.

Fish it with an intermediate line and a 2x-4x fluorocarbon tippet. Although it is tied with a small bead, the fly rides in the top three or four feet.

Tie this pattern with black thread on a No. 12 extra-long hook. Slide a 5/32 white, glass or tungsten bead up against the eye. For the tail, tie

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

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

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Anglers are reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures until May 26. Anglers report catching good numbers of fish. Most fish are 8 to 12 inches long mixed with some bigger trout.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Rainbow trout that were left over from the Central Oregon Sportsmen’s Show were recently stocked here. This includes about 6,000 legal-sized fish and a few trophy-sized fish ranging from 8-15 pounds.

HOOD RIVER: Winter steelhead fishing on the Hood River is shifting into high gear as returns of both hatchery and wild fish are entering in good numbers. Anglers are reporting

Crooked Continued from D1 The low flows are prime for fishing, but they should last only another month or so until more water is released from Prineville Reservoir for irrigation. The release will ramp up Crooked River flows to at least 250 cfs, according to Brett Hodgson, fish biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Bend.

Hodgson said this week that the current low flow (77 cfs) “provides a very good flow for fishing.� He added: “The river is easily wadeable and you can get to all parts of the river, which is not necessarily true during the summertime. While it is not optimal for fish production, it certainly is far better than the 10 to 35 cfs we’ve seen historically this time of year.�

Hostetler and McAllaster had no problem catching fish on Monday, but they seemed perturbed with the small size of the trout they were landing, which were 10 to 12 inches long.

Hodgson said that redband in the Crooked River average about 10 inches, while whitefish range from 12 to 14 inches. “There are bigger fish in there,� the biologist noted. “We found them in our sampling last June. And we also get reports that anglers are catching fish from 14 to 20 inches. As with most populations, the dominant size and age class will be 3-year-old fish in the 10-to12-inch size.�

The 6-mile stretch of the Crooked River from Big Bend to Castle Rock Campground continues to be one of the most popular year-round fisheries for fly anglers in Central Oregon.

a few bright fish.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Fishing for bull trout has been fair. The majority of the fish caught were less than 24 inches but some keepers have been caught. There are a lot of legalsize bull trout in the reservoir so fishing should be good this year.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer lots of opportunities for good dry-fly fishing.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should start to see larger trout entering the creek from the Crooked River as they are getting ready to spawn. Angling is restricted to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Fishing has been slow. The boat ramp is now open.

PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: Pine Hollow has recently been stocked and should offer a great opportunity to catch both newly stocked trout and carry-overs from last year.

May 26.) Hodgson said that most of the fish in that stretch are located in the upper two miles closest to Prineville Reservoir. “But if you take the time and get to know the spots, there’s some really good areas down in that lower section,� Hodgson said. “They’re just more dispersed, and a lot of the bigger fish tend to be in that lower section.�

While fishing remains good on the Crooked River during this cold, snowy March, Hodgson suggested that it will only get better. As more water is released from the reservoir and the fish adjust to the flows, they should become more active and potentially easier to catch, Hodgson explained. As the redband trout prepare for spawning season (late April to mid-June), they will also begin feeding more.

In recent years, though, a chief concern of the fishery has been extremely high flows (1,000 cfs or more) that have caused gas-bubble disease in the trout and thereby hampered the population, Hodgson said.

If Prineville Reservoir suddenly becomes full due to heavy rains, the Bureau of Reclamation could release enough water to cause those high flows. “That’s not likely to happen this year, because the snowpack is lower than normal,�

Hodgson said. “But all it takes is one rain-on-snow event.�

For now, though, the flows are perfect for fishing, as evidenced by the trout and whitefish brought to hand on a frigid day in the canyon. — Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmorical@bendbulletin.com Change your mind. Change your life.

TRAIL UPDATE Conditions could vary by the hour The calendar says it’s officially spring, but the Central Oregon weather forecast is not quite so optimistic. We can expect “a roller-coaster ride of temperatures, with a rain-snow mix even into the upper elevations,” said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist.

Ski trail conditions will be variable from day to day and throughout the day, due to warming temperatures.

“Most sno-parks have adequate snowpack for fair to good access. But that’s today,” said Sabo. “Seeing the weather (forecast) … all bets are off.”

Snow conditions are currently deep for trails at mid- to upper elevations, he said.

Recreationists should expect moderate to heavy use on the trails during spring break, depending on snow and weather conditions, Sabo said.

Trails at Virginia Meissner Sno-park are still being groomed and the conditions are “probably decent, as long as we don’t get real warm temperatures or rain,” he said. “They can’t do much with mashed potatoes.”

Trail grooming for snowmobiles is also in progress. “Things are looking pretty good at this time,” Sabo said.

Where ‘Fobbits’ trek • Some Friends of Oregon Badlands Wilderness lead the way on lesser-known trails east of Bend

By David Jasper The Bulletin

O

ver the years, like any Bendite with an interest in year-round hiking, I’ve gone to the Ancient Juniper, Flatiron Rock, Homestead and Dry River Canyon trails in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, all easily accessed from U.S. Highway 20 east of Bend and generally free from much more than a smattering of snow, even during wetter winters.

I have seen the error of my ways. Although I’ll always be fond of these popular, sometimes crowded trails — and by all means, knock yourself out if you’ve not yet explored them — I am a recent convert to Badlands’ other offerings: specifically, a few trails off of Dodds Road, along the Badlands’ northern boundary.

Leading our earlyMarch trek were Friends of Oregon Badlands Wilderness members David Eddleston and David Paulsmeyer. Joining our group were longtime outing accompanist Map Guy and musician/hiker Mark Quon, whom longtime readers will remember as a close friend of Jim Witty, The Bulletin’s beloved outdoors writer who died from a heart attack in 2008 after etching his name in stone on this particular beat.

Quon is one of the main reasons the book “Meet Me in the Badlands,” which

compiled Witty’s reports from the wilds of Central Oregon, was published.

And Witty is the main reason we went on this particular outing. A few weeks earlier, Quon had sent me an email telling me Eddleston and other “Fobbits,” as Friends of the Badlands call themselves, had taken to calling a particular rock formation “Jim Witty Memorial Rocks.” A few emails later, a plan was hatched.

TV & M Sykes finds colonial ancestors Wanda Sykes appears on “Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr.,� a new series starting Sunday on PBS.

TV SPOTLIGHT

By Felicia R. Lee New York Times News Service

Thirty-nine lashes “well laid� on her bare back and an extension of her indentured servitude was Elizabeth Banks’ punishment for “fornication & Bastardy with a negroe slave,� according to a stark June 20, 1683, court document from York County, Va. Through the alchemy of celebrity and genealogy, that record and others led to the recent discovery that Banks, a free white woman despite her servitude, was the paternal ninth great-grandmother of Wanda Sykes, the ribald comedian and actress.

More than an intriguing boldface-name connection, it is a rare find even in a genealogy-crazed era in which Internet sites like ancestry. com, with more than 14 million users, and the popular NBC program “Who Do You Think You Are?� play on that fascination. Because slavery meant that their black ancestors were considered property and not people, most AfricanAmericans are able to trace their roots in this country only back to the first quarter of the 19th century. “This is an extraordinary case and the only such case that I know of in which it is possible to trace a black family rooted in freedom from the late 17th century to the present,� said the historian Ira Berlin, an adviser to the show and professor at the University of Maryland who is known for his scholarship on slavery and African-American history.

Mary Banks, the biracial child born to Elizabeth Banks around 1683, inherited her mother’s free status, although she too was indentured. Mary appeared to have had four children. There are many

New York Times News Service

other unanswered questions, but the family grew, often as free people of color married or paired off with other free people of color.

Sykes’ family history was professionally researched for a segment of “Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr.,� a new series that has its debut Sunday on PBS. “The bottom line is that Wanda Sykes has the longest continuously documented family tree of any African-American we have ever researched,� said Gates, the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard. He was referring to the dozens of genealogies his researchers have unearthed for his television roots franchise, which began in 2006 with the PBS series “African-American Lives� and includes three other genealogy-inspired shows. Gates said he also checked Sykes’ family tree with historians, including Berlin.

Among the subjects whose pasts are summoned this season on “Finding Your Roots� are Barbara Walters (who learns her original family surname), Harry Connick Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Margaret Cho, Kevin Bacon, Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, Branford Marsalis, Robert Downey Jr. and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. The episode with Sykes is set for May. Generations of Sykeses have remained in Virginia.

Elizabeth Banks (born around

1665) probably arrived from Scotland. Sykes herself was born in Portsmouth, Va., and grew up in the Washington area, the child of Harry Ellsworth Sykes, an Army colonel, and the former Marion Louise Peoples, who worked at a bank. Sykes has fraternal twins with her wife, Alex Sykes, and says she eventually plans to share the new family tree with them. “I’m just grateful I do have a history, “ Sykes said. “It’s bittersweet. I was not able to trace the other three grandparents, and that’s huge. “It shows that we’re still paying for the history of this country, basically,� she added. “It’s just incredible to go back and see that you did not matter.�

Africans arrived in the New World in Jamestown in 1619. But because most African-Americans were listed only as property on official documents, their descendants lack the marriage records, wills, property and other records to find them. Free blacks, who left a paper trail, can be traced more easily.

A & A

Sorority experience enriches college life without hazing Dear Abby: I would like to tell “Possibly Paddled Pledge�

(Jan. 13) that joining a sorority was one of the best parts of college for me. It taught me about interpersonal communication, the importance of philanthropy and academics, and networking. I learned skills I would not have gained had I not joined.

My sorority had paddles.

We decorated them with our symbols and Greek letters, and they were displayed on the wall. We NEVER used them to hit anyone. Our national organization, as well as our university, would have been furious.

Hazing is illegal and should not be tolerated.

I say, give the Greek life a try, but if someone ever lifts a finger toward you, report her to your panhellenic organization and the dean of students immediately. Sororities are supposed to lift you up, not beat you down. — Jennifer in St. Louis Dear Jennifer: Readers unanimously agreed that paddling should not be tolerated, and stressed that being a legacy does not guarantee acceptance or that a pledge will have a good experience in a particular sorority.

Dear Abby: My daughter is currently in a sorority, but her experience has been very mixed. She was not automatically welcomed by my sorority.

She found the process to be difficult and judgmental. However, she did find a wonderful group of women in a different sorority.

As a sophomore this year, she is on the other side of recruitment (rush) and again felt hurt by how rude some of the new girls were. “PPP’s� letter spotlighted the snobbish, elitist attitude that turns many eligible young women away from sororities. To say a group is the best of the best and exclusive is offensive. I hope more girls will look beyond the glitz and glamour and give a second hard look to all of the groups. — Jane in Akron, Ohio Dear Abby: My first month in college was wonderful. Then came sorority rush. What followed was hell. I got a paddle with the Greek letters, though

DEAR ABBY it was only a “memento.� Far worse was the social fragmentation of the women there. We immediately began to segregate into our little pledge classes, wore pins that identified our group and were typecast from the very beginning.

After wrestling with this psychological social dilemma — even becoming an active member, which would preclude me from ever joining another sorority — I finally deactivated, switched to a much larger school with less emphasis on the Greek system and happily sailed through the rest of my college life with honors. — A Happy Independent Dear Abby: As a member of a sorority, I have never heard of a sorority that used paddles to hit members. What bothers me is the apparent acceptance by “PPP’s� family members of this practice.

As a prosecutor for nearly 30 years, I do not condone in any way the use of a paddle, either in fraternities or sororities.

A sorority is more than academics and whispers about hazing. “PPP� should visit each chapter on the campus, attend rush and make her own decision. Only she can decide which sorority is right for her. If she pledges as a legacy, she’ll be in a unique position to actively stop this practice if, in fact, it is occurring. If she’s kicked out for not letting them paddle her, then she can shout it from the rooftops and maybe something will finally happen. “PPP,� stand up for what you believe. Choose a sorority you like, with women you would be proud to call your sisters, and you will have the time of your life and lifelong friends who will see you through your old age. I know. I didn’t pledge my mom’s chapter, but a different one. — Been There in Montana — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

SATURDAY

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Thursday, March 22, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar New beginnings earmark this year.

You will be direct, and others will respond in kind. Communication flows. Above everything, you greet life with renewed excitement and interest. You draw many new people into your life. If you are single, you could meet “the one.� Take the time to get to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you romp around as if you have not a care in the world. As a couple, you might make a radical change involving your lifestyle.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a new beginning in a most appropriate area. You will feel far more connected and free as a result. An element of the unexpected adds excitement to your day. Enjoy the spontaneity. Tonight: Seize the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could decide to say little and observe a lot. You also could have an unusually strong reaction to a situation. Try to process your feelings before responding. You gain insight into someone else’s decision that previously baffled you. Tonight: Do your thing, GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Zero in on a meeting. The discussion that ensues could have a lot more to do with your plans than you’d thought. Others act strangely, leaving you wondering what might be going on. The people behaving in this manner might not even know why they are. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are on top of a project, work or errands. You feel as if you cannot be stopped from attaining a long-desired goal. Do not be surprised by an unanticipated change that comes from out of left field. Tonight: Work with the situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Look past the obvious. It might be time to finally indulge a long-term goal or desire. This wish could involve travel, someone at a distance or a special seminar. You might not know what to do with some good news, but you will figure it out. Unexpected developments happen out of the blue. Flex.

Tonight: Try a new spot.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be exhausted by recent events and might wonder how much more of yourself you can give. A new beginning in a relationship becomes possible.

You could be surprised by a money matter. Tonight: Keep it personal, with just you and one other person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others believe they are in control, yet it is rather obvious that that might not be true. You might opt not to burst their bubbles. Use today to contact someone you want to get to know better. An unexpected action could have you regrouping.

Tonight: Sort through invitations with an eye to the weekend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone who affects your dayto-day life. This person’s words could toss your mood and/or plans into disarray. Flex, and find a way to do everything. Yes, it is possible.

Start a long-overdue project.

Tonight: Do errands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Whether approaching a creative project or deciding to date a special person, a green light beams.

Though you might be focused on serious matters a lot of the time, you like the lightening up that occurs.

Share plans with a friend or sibling.

Tonight: Be a wild thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay close to home, and be aware that you really are not limited.

A discussion with a roommate or family member could enlighten you about alternatives. You will have a lot to consider. Unexpected happenings could force you to regroup. Tonight: Stay close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your words have an impact. Conversations evolve from a simple statement. You can clear out what has been a problem or start over with a new beginning. Use caution when driving or handling machinery, as you could be happily distracted. Tonight: Join friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Be aware of your needs and what you have to offer. Financial matters easily could change in your favor in the near future. Make a personal resolution, and refuse to get into impulse buying. Still, you just might buy one last item.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

If you go Getting there: To reach Tumulus Trailhead from Bend, take U.S. Highway 20 east. Near mile marker 9, turn left on Dodds Road and continue east. At mile marker 6, head south on unpaved road about one mile to the parking area at the trailhead, being sure to stay right at fork in road, approximately a half-mile down.

Difficulty: Easy on marked trails, moderate if wandering off-trail.

Cost: Free Contact: Bureau of Land Management, Prineville District, 541-416-6700; www.meetup.com/ friendsoforegon badlandswilderness

saw a herd of seven elk twice during a hike, “as though they had circled us, and were stopping and looking at us.”

About a mile from the trailhead, Eddleston and Paulsmeyer led us off the trail. Four of the party’s five members had GPS units, and at least two knew how to use them, but I’m not naming names. We scattered, avoiding one another’s footprints to avoid creating new trails.

“This is actually not soil,” Eddleston said. “This is lava ash from Mount Mazama.

It covers the Badlands to an average depth of two to three feet.”

Along the way, we get some great nature lessons.

Eddleston pointed out some old junipers: “Once they get that reddish color, that means they’re three centuries (old).”

The oldest official juniper in the area is across the highway on nearby Horse Ridge and is more than 1,600 years old, he said.

We also learn that the bright-green growth on the trees’ limbs is wolf lichen, a

poisonous lichen homesteaders used to kill wolves by stuffing it in a bait carcass.

“If you’re out here and you do need foodstuff, you can make a house with it, but don’t eat it,” Paulsmeyer advises.

A half-mile after we left the trail to our first stop, we reached “Dead Horse Canyon,” so named after the shotdead horse Eddleston discovered at the bottom two years ago. “He gradually disappeared over a period of a year, all his bones getting scattered with the scavengers and the coyotes,” he said. We manage to find plenty of the unfortunate horse’s bony remains.

Underfoot were mosses and other small, easily ignored growth that Eddleston tells us is “cryptobiotic” ground covering, a mix of moss, fungi and other ingredients. It’s “very, very vital. Normally, when it’s not moist, it’s a very gray color.”

When Fobbits lead kids on spring hikes out there, they’ll pour water on it to show how “within seconds it springs into life as bright, bright green.”

I was soon pouring out some of my precious water supply, and sure enough, instant green.

But the best thing we learn about is the packrat middens, which are basically hardened piles of packrat excrement.

Just outside their homes in the cracks and crevices of rocks, packrats urinate on their own droppings, and because of the sugars and crystals in the urine, the whole thing hardens into shiny brown glop. Once you’ve seen some of this stuff, you start seeing it everywhere.

Well, at least on off-trail rocky ledges in the Badlands.

We also learn about the geology of the area, created by a lava eruption from Badlands Volcano, about a third of a mile in from mile marker 15 on Highway 20.

“All this that we have here all comes from that one particular lava flow,” Eddleston said. “All the lava spewed out

Outing Continued from E1 We rendezvoused at 9 a.m. and climbed into Eddleston’s SUV. As he drove east on 20, he gave a primer on Friends of Oregon Badlands Wilderness, which formed in April 2007 at the behest of the Bureau of Land Management.

“It’s a stewardship role; it’s a nonpolitical role, with a number of things to do,” he said.

“Trailhead maintenance, trail patrols, removal of obsolete barbed wire fence, reporting of illegal (wheeled vehicle) trespassing … monitoring of how roads are going back to wilderness, re-vegetating certain trails and so on.”

He estimates the 169 Fobbits have contributed nearly 8,000 volunteer hours, with a core group of 20 to 30 handling the bulk of the workload. Fobbits have removed about eight miles of barbed wire fencing, which is hazardous to wildlife, as well as a couple of dozen illegally dumped tires and a half-dozen appliances.

“We want to encourage a lot more hikers to come to the northern trailheads. The Highway 20 trailheads get a lot of use, of course, but there are great trailheads here,” Eddleston said, turning right onto Dodds Road at mile marker 9.

About two miles from Highway 20, he pointed out Obernolte Road, at whose terminus rests the Larry Chitwood Trail, named for a geologist who wrote about the Badlands prior to his 2008 death.

Our destination lay farther down Dodds Road, however.

About 15 minutes later, Eddleston pointed out the righthand turn and sign for the trail. He continued down a rough gravel road and parked at the edge of a currently dry irrigation canal.

Once we’d parked, Map Guy razzed me for not bringing camera batteries, ignoring my protests that I’d brought along four dead batteries. There is a difference.

Quon mentioned a time Witty forgot batteries on an outing to Pine Mountain. “We had to (go) back the next day.”

It’s the first of many times Witty’s name comes up during the outing.

Not yet done haranguing me, Map Guy said, “He doesn’t bring food. I doubt if he’s got water.”

When I flash my water bottle, Map Guy said, “That’s a shock. … Jim (would have) water, but it would be water from three trips ago that he had left over.”

We crossed a metal walkway over the canal to set off down the Tumulus Trail. Anything with wheels is banned from the 30,000-acre Badlands, so Eddleston was not pleased when we came across tire tracks.

“We’re gonna catch this guy somehow. This is not right,” he said. “It’s a federal offense, and there’s a fairly heavy fine.”

Eddleston has spotted deer, elk and one bobcat during his many hours in the Badlands.

“He stared at me for about 15 seconds, and I went to get my camera. Then he thought, ‘Hmm, I don’t think so,’ and he went off.”

Paulsmeyer said he once

from there and created the Badlands.”

The rocky formations such as Jim Witty Memorial Rocks occur after stretches of lava cool and crack. As Chitwood once wrote for the Deschutes National Forest, “Normally, long fingers of lava inflate much more at their wider sections, creating swollen or tumescent areas with cracks down their middle. These are called tumuli and, along with their highly elongated cousins called pressure ridges, are common in the Badlands.”

Eddleston said that Witty Rocks are unusual because they have more pressure cracks than any other formation he’s seen.

Once we finally reached the rocky structure named for Witty, we scrambled up for a view of the Cascades, Smith Rock and other landmarks in the distance. Jim Witty Memorial Rocks are approximately 1.71 miles southeast of the Tumulus Trailhead.

For those properly equipped with GPS, the coordinates

are at decimal degrees N 44.03517 and W 121.00682.

The rest of the hike is a mix of bad puns. We next cut west, most of it off-trail, to Black Lava Trail. At its end, there’s an abandoned horse corral nestled in a rock formation. Eddleston was once with a group that found an obsidian arrowhead near the corral. Because it’s illegal to remove such historic artifacts, they carefully placed it in some rocks, and now no one can find it, he said.

In all, Eddleston tells us as we reach his truck, we hiked eight-and-a-half miles. The next day, I had the sore calves to prove it. But just four days later, I brought my wife along to further explore the north edge of the Badlands for a hike at Larry Chitwood Trail.

Unfortunately, I could not locate any packrat middens, and it was not for lack of trying.

Trails Continued from E1 Cascade Lakes Highway south of Deschutes Bridge to the Crescent cutoff road and South Century Drive between Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs are being plowed and likely not accessible for snowmobiling. The roads are closed to driving until the county opens them for fishing season sometime in April.

“Unsettled” backcountry conditions right now may be prime for avalanche danger, said Sabo. There is an avalanche warning for the Northern Oregon Cascades down to Santiam Pass, and going into backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.

Lower-elevation trails are likely “a bit on the soft and muddy side … slushy even,” where there is residual snow, he said.

“Bottom line is, it’s choose your days wisely, watch the weather closely … it’s going to flex day to day depending on the temperature and the whims of nature,” Sabo said.

The bioavailability, or absorption rate, of calcium is better in green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale than it is in dairy products. But dairy has a much higher concentration of calcium.

It takes 4½ cups of broccoli to equal 1 cup of milk, in terms of how much calcium is absorbed by the body.

The Graveses paid $2,193 for the device, a discount from its $5,250 list price. So after a few months of use, they wanted to pass on the device — still in mint condition — to someone else. But upon calling the manufacturer, Vista, Calif.-based DJOrtho, they were told the product could not be reused.

Approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a single-patient device, the Spinalogic device is programmed to become inoperative after 270 uses.

Digital imaging leads to more tests Doctors who have access to computer test results order more tests than doctors who don’t, according to a new study that challenges an assumption about electronic health records.

The study in the March issue of the journal Health Affairs found that doctors with access to computerized images ordered 40 to 70 percent more imaging and lab tests.

The study authors warn that pushing for more health information technology might not deliver cost savings.

Women still pay more for health insurance

VITAL STATS Early returns The biggest provision of the health reform law, known as the Affordable Care Act, won’t go into effect until 2014. But early provisions of the effort already benefited thousands of Oregonians last year.

Number of Oregonians benefiting from health law changes in 2011 Lowered costs for prescription drugs under Medicare ............ 44,877 Provided free preventive health benefits under Medicare ...... 388,823 Added preventive health services without a co-pay (private insurance) ....................................... 692,000 Removed lifetime limits from health insurance ....................1,356,000 Young adults added to parent's health plans..............................34,532 Offered coverage under pre-existing condition insurance plan ....1,187 Ensured plans spend at least 80 percent of premium on medical services ..............................................................1,084,000 Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Devices Continued from F1 “The fact is, if you could just replace the batteries, they wouldn’t be able to charge me $2,193; they could only charge $200,” Gary Graves said. “I understand that they have to make some money, but it ought to be done in a way that could it be refurbished in Second- or Third-World countries and actually be reused.”

Instead, the manufacturer told them to contact their recycling center to safely dispose of the $5,000 device.

According to a recent study from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the U.S. health care system creates more waste than any other sector other than the food industry, and billions of dollars could be saved each year by salvaging still-useful products. The excess is harder to comprehend considering the context of the millions of patients both domestically and internationally who cannot afford devices or supplies. Yet efforts to redirect the leftovers from our medical system tend to be sporadic at best.

“It’s really hard to appreciate how much we have in this country, and also how wasteful we can be until you’ve gone outside the country and tried to do without,” said Dr. Brian Desmond, an ophthalmologist with Bend Memorial Clinic. “Our junk is their treasure. I think there’s a huge untapped resource for the underserved right under our noses.”

Desmond recently traveled with a medical team to Guatemala, where he and another doctor performed 80 cataract surgeries. The team took 40 boxes of medical supplies and equipment with them, much of it donated by manufacturers or no longer needed by local clinics.

“Old gear from the United States can clearly find a new life and an immense value in the Third World or even within our own borders,” Desmond said. “I would say, right now, we’re pretty bad at salvaging unused or still useful products.”

Local donations Patients are often willing to donate medical products after completing their treatment, but can struggle to find places to take them.

Kat Mastrangelo, executive director of Volunteers in Medicine in Bend, said the clinic regularly receives such calls.

“Our big issue is we have limitations on space and the needs our patients would have,” she said. “We get a lot of people wanting to donate wheelchairs or walkers. Since we don’t have an elderly population, we’re probably not the best place for that.”

VIM must routinely turn down offers of unused diabetic testing strips, because they don’t match up with their glucose meters.

The clinic was recently able to get rid of a donated wheelchair the staff had been tripping over for months. Staff from another clinic called looking for one after a low-income family walked across town despite their daughter having a broken leg. VIM has also been able to repurpose used continuous positive airway pressure machines for sleep

Women still pay more than men for the same health insurance coverage, according to new research and data from online brokers.

The new health care law will prohibit such “gender rating,” starting in 2014. But gaps persist in most states, with no evidence that insurers have taken steps to reduce them.

For a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan in Chicago, a 30-year-old woman pays $375 a month, which is 31 percent more than what a man of the same age pays for the same coverage, according to eHealthInsurance.com, a leading online source of health insurance.

In a report to be issued this week, the National Women’s Law Center, a research and advocacy group, says that in states that have not banned

gender rating, more than 90 percent of the best-selling health plans charge women more than men.

Kristin Binns, a spokeswoman for WellPoint, one large insurer, said that “rates quoted today still incorporate gender and age rating” except in states where the practice is forbidden by law. Fourteen states have taken steps to ban or limit gender rating in the individual insurance market.

Insurers said they charged women more than men because claims showed that women ages 19 to 55 tended to use more health care services. They are more likely to visit doctors, to get regular checkups, to take prescription drugs and to have certain chronic illnesses.

“Other people’s junk goes a long way in a lot of the other parts of the world,” he said.

They are in particular need of equipment for children — wheelchairs, standing frames, reverse walkers. Ballinger said individuals who donate pediatric gear get a gold star.

Prescription drugs Perhaps the most challenging medical item to donate, however, is medication. Once pills are dispensed by a pharmacy into a standard pill bottle, no charitable group can take them, for safety reasons.

“This happens all the time.

People have this very expensive prescription, $500 for a bottle of pills, and then either somebody died or it doesn’t work for them, and they’re frustrated because they paid so much money and now ‘What can we do with it?’”

Mastrangelo said. “If it’s already been dispensed and it’s an unsealed container, there’s really not a lot that you can do with it.”

VIM has qualified as the third charitable pharmacy in Oregon, allowing it to accept donated medications as long as the drugs are in their original, unopened package and have not passed their expiration date. Many health experts have questioned whether expiration dates are being set too conservatively. A 2006 analysis by the Department of Defense found that 88 percent of expired medications were still perfectly fine one year after they had expired. And last year, the Department of Health and Human Services told federal, state and local health authorities that had stockpiled antiviral treatments in 2009 to prepare for a possible flu pandemic that they could extend the shelf life of those drugs by another year. Still, doctors who travel internationally have found that even in Third-World countries, drugs are generally discarded after the expiration date.

Many law enforcement agencies, including the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, regularly collect unused or expired medications to prevent abuse or accidental poisonings.

But those medications are destroyed, not reused.

While finding the right organization to take leftover supplies may seem challenging, the donations can make a world of difference for patients like Chris Hobby. A recovering alcoholic, Hobby, 50, has been living at The Shepherd’s House in Bend for the past 18 months and doesn’t have health insurance. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes several years earlier while in rehab, but for a long time didn’t have the supplies to keep his blood sugar in check.

“I was kind of winging it,” he said.

Then the Central Oregon Veterans Outreach program set him up with a glucose meter and testing strips, and helped him get insulin through Mosaic Medical, a nonprofit clinic.

COVO operates a mobile medical van that treats homeless individuals six times a month throughout Central Oregon.

Many of the supplies in the van have been donated by clinics or individuals, helping to stretch a limited budget. BMC’s research department, for example, recently donated a batch of diabetic testing supplies left over from a medical study.

But Dr. Randall Jacobs, a BMC urgent care physician and medical director for the medical van, said many doctors are unaware of or uninterested in redirecting surplus medical goods to such groups.

“I think it’s a matter of being good stewards of our resources,” Jacobs said. “Certain patient populations have many services available and other segments may have little or no services available. The supply chain for volunteer organizations trying to meet the needs of populations who don’t, whether they’re homeless or whether they’re refugees internationally, is a piece of the same challenge.”

GOOD FOR YOU Website a tool for alternative health practices If you’re considering using alternative health practices, take a moment to check out a new series of monthly health tips, called “Time to Talk Tips,” at http://nccam .nih.gov/health/tips.

The website aims to provide consumers with easy-to-read, scientifically backed information on complementary health practices. It is a service of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. The mission of the center is to engage rigorous scientific investigation in determining the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative medicine interventions and their roles in improving health and health care.

The first installments have touched on natural products to treat flus and colds and things you need to know about taking dietary supplements.

Start small to build habits You see yourself in the mirror and know you should do something about how you look and feel. But how to begin?

“People need to work on the easy things first,” said Susan Bowerman, assistant director of the University of California at Los Angeles’ Center for Human Nutrition.

Many of us launch diets and exercise plans each new year and often give up within a matter of weeks. I asked Bowerman for some strategies to get started.

Bowerman’s doable dietary suggestions include: • Eat a piece of fruit instead of cakes or cookies for dessert.

Include one dairy serving per day (if milk, switch from whole milk to 2 percent).

• Eat airy, watery foods that will fill you up and have fewer calories (vegetables, not Cheetos). “Think of your sandwich as a salad between two pieces of bread.”

• Switch from highcalorie drinks (sugary soda, fruit juices) to water, even at just one meal a day.

Substitute 100 percent whole grain for white bread.

For more tips and encouragement, Bowerman’s blog is a readable, supportive guide: discover goodnutrition.com.

It’s not just food she’s concerned with, and she offers some sustainable tips on exercise, too.

“Sometimes the idea of 30 minutes a day of exercise is so daunting to people. Break it up.

There’s evidence if you do three 10-minute stints it’s just as good.

“Also, just move around a little more.

Talking on the phone like I’m talking to you, I’m pacing around the room.”

Continued from F1 Higher consumption of milk by adult women did not protect against bone fractures, according to a 12-year study published in the American Journal of Public Health in 1997 in which researchers followed 78,000 women to determine whether higher intake of milk and other calcium-rich foods during the adult years could reduce the risk of bone fractures.

A similar large, long-term study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2003 reiterated that neither milk nor a high-calcium diet reduced the risk of hip fractures. The study added, however, that consuming adequate amounts of vitamin D was associated with a lower risk of fracture.

Other studies have suggested that people in the countries that consume the most meat and milk — namely the United States and Scandinavian countries — also had the highest rates of osteoporosis.

But observational dietary studies are imperfect and hard to draw conclusions from, said Connie Weaver, a national spokeswoman for the American Society for Nutrition. Besides, plenty of studies say just the opposite, said Weaver, also a professor and head of the Department of Nutrition Science at Purdue University in Indiana. In a review of literature, 25 out of 32 observational studies and 11 out of 11 randomized controlled trials showed a positive association between dairy consumption and bone health, she wrote in a 2009 article published in the journal Physiology & Behavior.

Overriding the dietary calcium question, she said, is the prominent role our genes play.

“Bone mass relates to fracture risk. Your bone mass is about 60 percent controlled by genetics,” said Weaver. The other 40 percent, roughly, is controlled by environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle, which individuals have some control over.

“Some people have genes that give you high bone mass.

There’s little you can do to screw that up,” she said. “On the other end, some people can do everything right and will have bad bones. Most of us in between count on interactions between diet and genes needed to build the most bone we can when we’re young, and hold on to it after menopause.”

Choosing to avoid dairy People may choose to avoid dairy products for many reasons. Some have gastrointestinal distress from digesting milk, known as lactose intolerance. Concerns over hormones present in cow’s milk have led others to eschew it. Some dairy products are high in saturated fats, which can be a risk factor for heart disease.

There have been associations between dairy and serious disease, such as a large study of 61,000 Swedish women that showed milk consumption above four servings a day doubled the risk of ovarian cancer. And one Harvard study of male health professionals associated drinking two or more glasses of milk daily with a higher risk of prostate cancer.

For those who ban dairy from their diets, Weaver and Dr. Mary Carroll, an endocrinologist at Bend Memorial Clinic, suggest adding calcium-fortified foods such as soy products or orange juice. Carroll added that almond and rice milks are typically not fortified, do not have adequate amounts of calcium and are not good alternatives.

Weaver said if people don’t get enough calcium through their diet, they might need a supplement. But supplements should be kept in check. A small number of studies have suggested an association between a high intake of calcium from supplements and increased prostate cancer risk, increased risk of heart attack and an increased incidence of urinary tract stones.

Ideally, experts agree, nutrients are ingested through food.

Weaver said.

One is the quantity of calcium that exists within a food.

The other is is bioavailability, or how efficiently that calcium is absorbed, said Weaver, who has been involved with clinical studies about calcium absorption.

Calcium’s bioavailability, or absorption rate, is better in green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale, than in dairy products. But there’s less of a concentration of calcium in vegetables and legumes compared to milk. So, a person would have to eat enormous amounts of vegetables to absorb the same amount as they could from a smaller quantity of milk.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a Wash., D.C.,-based nonprofit that advocates for preventive health and good nutrition, said on its website that “The calcium absorption from vegetables is as good or better than that of milk. Calcium absorption from milk is approximately 32 percent. Figures for broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, turnip greens, and kale range between 40-64 percent.”

That is true, Weaver said, but is misleading since it doesn’t address how much higher in concentration calcium is in milk.

Noteworthy exceptions to good vegetable sources of calcium are spinach and chard.

They contain ample calcium but they also contain something called oxalic acid, which combines with the calcium and creates a chemical that interferes with the absorption of calcium.

Weaver said it’s nearly impossible to consume the daily recommended amounts of calcium from food in the absence of dairy products. (There is debate, however, about whether Americans’ daily recommendations are unnecessarily high.)

And Carroll said cow’s milk is the best source of calcium for Americans because it’s affordable and accessible.

“It’s absolutely indisputable from scientific evidence that adequate dietary calcium is essential to build and maintain bones,” she said. “You can get calcium and vitamin D from other sources but it’s less widely available.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends most Americans drink three glasses of milk daily. That’s not just about calcium, said Weaver.

Milk contains other nutrients that are vital to bone and tissue

health, including potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, vitamin A and vitamin D.

Vitamin D’s role In fact, vitamin D is no less important than calcium when it comes to bone health. Many people don’t get enough vitamin D through sunlight or supplements. Vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption.

The Journal of the American Medical Association in 2005 published a review of clinical trials of vitamin D for the prevention of osteoporosis in older people. The analysis found that getting 700 to 800 units of vitamin D per day decreases the risk of hip and non-vertebral fractures.

And a new, large, long-term study of active preadolescent and adolescent girls said vitamin D intake was associated with a lower risk of developing stress fractures.

How bones work About 99 percent of the calcium in the body is found in bones and teeth, while the other 1 percent is in blood and soft tissue. Calcium levels in the blood must be maintained within a narrow range for normal physiological functioning.

Calcium is so vital to survival, the body will take the mineral from bones to maintain normal blood calcium levels when

intake from food becomes inadequate, according to the Oregon State University, Linus Pauling Institute.

Bone is a dynamic tissue, in a constant state of formation and resorption called remodeling.

Bone cells called osteoclasts begin the process of remodeling by dissolving, or resorbing, the bone. Bone-forming cells called osteoblasts then form new bone to replace the bone that was resorbed, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.

During normal growth, bone formation exceeds bone resorption. Osteoporosis can happen when bone resorption chronically exceeds formation.

It’s most important to build bone mass during adolescence — when about half of one’s bone mass is built, Weaver said. A person’s middle-adult years are relatively stable in terms of bone remodeling, although a lack of weight-bearing exercise and a poor diet can push bone health out of balance. Hormones play a role too. When a woman becomes estrogen deficient, such as during menopause, bone resorption accelerates and bone formation can’t catch up, Weaver said.

practitioner at Mosaic Medical in Bend.

There are many things a person can do to help prevent bones from leaching calcium.

For example, a diet too high in animal protein, such as the Atkins diet, can strip calcium from the bones. As the body digests protein, acids are released into the bloodstream, which the body neutralizes in a process that draws calcium from the bones and excretes it through urine.

“A vegan diet which includes a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes provides adequate calcium, without the problem of animal proteins which leach calcium from the bones,” Gladden said.

She also recommends these behaviors for a vegan or anyone who wants to prevent bone loss: • Keep salt intake low. Excessive sodium consumption accelerates calcium excretion through the kidneys.

• Don’t smoke. Smoking can kill the young bone cells, the osteoblasts, which are constantly regenerating. Smoking also increases the excretion of calcium through urine.

• Don’t drink too much caffeine. Caffeine’s diuretic effect causes the loss of both water and calcium, especially at levels equivalent to two or more cups of coffee per day.

• Get enough weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, tennis and weight lifting. Doing so increases calcium receptors in the bone and creates an electrical impulse that drives minerals into the bones.

• Eat plenty of of fruits and vegetables that are full of nutrients including vitamin C to build collagen, the basic network of tissue within the bones. Vitamin K, found mainly in green, leafy vegetables, also likely plays a role in calcium regulation and bone formation.

• Carroll, from BMC, also noted that consuming a lot of soft drinks or alcohol can decrease bone turnover.

Gladden said a surge in osteoporosis in recent decades has highlighted the problem of bones losing calcium.

“We think, ‘More calcium!’

But really, you can pump all sorts of calcium into people but they can still have a negative balance. On other hand, someone with low calcium intake who is doing weight-bearing exercises and eat green vegetables, they might not have osteoporosis. If you’re doing all the other things that contribute to strong bones, you’d have to have a long (term) intake of low calcium to have osteoporosis.”

EXERCISE MYTHS Do I have to train for an hour?

By Lenny Bernstein The Washington Post

Ever wonder if you’re really making the best use of your workout?

With the help of a local expert, we’ll uncover five common fitness myths in a five-part, weekly series. What you learn could change the way you exercise.

Myth #1: You have to train for an least an hour in order to benefit from the exercise.

Fact: You don’t have to train much more than 20 to 30 minutes Anderson if you are doing high-intensity interval training, which consists of short, hard bursts of effort interspersed with short periods of rest.

For example, in what’s known as a Tabata workout, named after researcher Izumi Tabata, an aerobically and anaerobically taxing workout lasts only minutes: eight sets of 20 seconds of hard work, each followed by 10 seconds of rest.

Best practice: Perform six to eight exercises, three to five times, at 85-90 percent of your maximum intensity with no rest between each exercise and one minute of rest between each set.

An off-the-wall parkour workout Most of us traverse the environment by walking. Not Michael “Frosti” Zernow — he prefers to vault, flip and catapult his way from A to B. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based professional parkour athlete and instructor has 10-plus years of experience, and it shows: The man defies gravity when in motion.

Parkour is a discipline developed in France that involves smoothly navigating over and around obstacles like walls, stairs and trees with jumps, climbs and acrobat-like moves. Zernow makes it look effortless, but it takes practice and discipline if you don’t want to end up at your local urgent care clinic.

Since some moves are tricky and require a level of athleticism, you may want professional instruction at the outset.

But here’s an easy, explosive move — called a tic-tac — to get you started.

What to do: Pick a spot on a wall, sturdy tree or lamppost that is at a comfortable and achievable height.

Take a short running start and step onto the spot with the leg that’s closest, putting your weight into it. Then push off with the same leg.

Extend the other leg out for the landing, but don’t just settle for any random landing spot — pick a specific place on the ground, and turn to face it to help guide your body there. Land on the balls of the feet, with knees bent, to avoid injuring the joints.

How much to do: Begin with one to two tic-tacs at a time, making sure you work both sides of the body. As you get stronger and more confident, add more.

MovNat instructor Clifton Harski demonstrates a roll in a workshop in the Washington, D.C. area.

MovNat Continued from F1 Since childhood, he’s been baffled by society’s focus on developing flat abs rather than practical skills for surviving in the wild. “Exercising in a confining gym with machines is acceptable,” he says. “But climbing a tree and moving on all fours is not.”

With MovNat, which he formally created in 2008, he’s hoping to change that.

The timing seems right. The program he’s suggesting isn’t totally out there, considering that serious athletes already train with bear crawls and sandbag carries in the name of functional fitness. And we’ve all come to recognize the hazards of our sedentary lifestyles and begun to question whether fitness “advances” have actually set us back.

“People start running barefoot because it’s more natural,” Le Corre says. “Then they wonder, ‘Are there ways to move other than running?’”

You want me to what?

For starters, try walking, balancing, jumping, crawling and climbing. Those were all on the schedule during that sevenhour workshop led by Clifton Harski, Le Corre’s disciple who travels from town to town all over the country, spreading the MovNat gospel.

“I’m not interested in giving you guys a good workout,” he announced to the dozen participants, a mix of triathletes, CrossFitters, gymnasts and rock climbers who’d each shelled out $229 for the chance to get back to their physical roots.

“I’m going to let you go through things and see if your body can figure it out. They may have been forgotten, but these are developmental movements,” Harski said.

We started with simply standing (straight) and breathing (diaphragmatically). I was feeling pretty good at being human. Then we entered the “magical forest,” which was really a quiet street in an industrial park where we imag-

ined we had to lift our legs over fallen logs and duck under lowhanging tree limbs. Sunk into a squat and walking backward out of a tiny cave, my quads began to protest.

Soon, our shoes were off and a series of 2-by-3 planks of wood were out. The wobbly balance beams didn’t seem that daunting. I could do backwalkovers on beam — 20 years ago. Turns out that now, I’m hopeless. Going forward and backward was okay, but my attempts at crawling were pitiful.

Next up came climbing, which Harski insisted was all about the progression. First, we just had to hop up to grab a pullup bar and hang. Done. Swing back and forward. Easy. Swing side-to-side. Got it. Then move side-to-side along the length of the bar. Trickier, but I managed that, too.

Eventually, he told us to swing a leg over the bar, scramble up so we were also resting on our elbows and then pitch ourselves forward. That, I couldn’t do.

From there, we jumped and, more important, landed. (That’s the part when you can get hurt.)

We rolled in every direction and practiced various methods of getting up from the ground quickly. We went through the basics of barefoot running and how to carry other people.

Making it routine We ended with the hardest part of all: how to incorporate MovNat into our daily lives. Le Corre recognizes that though everyone ideally would be frolicking in forests every day, that’s not possible.

“I run a company and manage a team. I have to stay seated many hours a day. We’re all zoo humans to some extent, even me,” he says.

So Harski offered a few ideas for urban dwellers: Practice precision jumps on curbs, play tag to speed up direction changes, balance on rails. He also suggested hiking with a kettle bell to mimic having to haul home your kill. (On the issue of food, MovNat advocates the paleo diet, consisting of mostly meat, nuts, fruits and

veggies.)

But really, we’d just scratched the surface of MovNat, Harski told us. There were still swimming and combat techniques, and countless other drills to improve our locomotion. People hungry for more have the option of signing up for a five-day camp in West Virginia.

Other than heading off to camp or waiting for the next workshop in your town, it’s been tricky for folks who’ve gone through a day of MovNat to continue their education.

That’s a shame not just for people who’ve found a passion for natural movement, but for society, said Ann Wendel, a 41year-old physical therapist who left the workshop hooked. “If everyone did more of this, we wouldn’t have as many injuries,” she told me.

A growing movement It’s possible they soon will be.

MovNat, which has been taught by only a handful of master instructors, is planning to hold its first trainer certification program in May. That could lead to MovNat classes in parks, oneon-one sessions and gyms using elements of MovNat in their programs.

Before we get carried away, however, it’s worth hearing out Todd Miller, an associate professor of exercise science at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services and a board member for the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Although he supports MovNat’s style of training — which shares many elements with how top athletes train today — Miller says humans have evolved too far away from these movements to make them a part of their daily lives.

“When it comes to exercise, the gym is the place you do it.

We’ve compartmentalized fitness,” he says.

Le Corre still believes that these skills are inside of us, and that with the right movement, we’ll find them again. “We’re not reinventing the wheel,” he says. “We’re just making sure it rolls more smoothly.”

Let’s say your job is to take off at a sprint, get moving about 20 mph and slam yourself full speed into a brick wall — 60 times in a single afternoon. We’d give you a helmet and lots of padding to protect yourself. Because of the toll this would take on your body, we’d make you do it only once a week. And we’d reward you handsomely.

One other thing. While you’re flinging yourself at that wall, other guys would be plowing into you at roughly the same speed. From all angles. They might hit you in the legs, the chest, the head — pretty much anywhere except from behind, with similar force.

That really doesn’t exaggerate what Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher does for a living. Yet Fletcher, 36, has not missed a single game in his remarkable 14-year career. That’s 224 consecutive regularseason games at one of the most violent positions on a football field. And this past season, Fletcher, one of the oldest players in the league, led the NFL in tackles.

I thought I’d ask him what he does to prepare for the mayhem he faces on the field each week, and how he has managed such longevity.

How have you manQ: aged this kind of streak? Does it have anything to do with your fitness regimen?

Yes, definitely. In the offseason, I work out maybe four or five times a week, weight lifting, and then also speed work, cardio work, things like that. I do strength (training), elliptical machines.

Once the season starts, I work out two to three times a week and then also … massages twice a week … active release therapy, I do that. I do acupuncture. … Nutrition is also big, and then rest. … I also have been blessed with great genes. God gave me great genes.

workout day?

Monday, I may get up, lift weights, then go to the field. Depending on whether I’m doing an upper-body lift or a lowerbody lift, that’ll determine what kind of run work I may do. If it’s an upper-body lift, then I can do a little bit harder running-wise, with my sprint work or my resistance cord work that I do. I do hills, do a little hill training as well.

A:

What would you say Q: is the most important part (of your fitness regimen)?

Being in the best possible shape, first and foremost, to give yourself a chance to compete at the highest level. Then from there, staying on top of detail, attention to detail. Always challenging yourself to get better. Never becoming satisfied or complacent in what you’ve accomplished.

I’ll always look to see how I can improve in the offseason in particular. Just trying to see, “Okay, I want to do this to get better, get stronger, get faster.”

M LOCAL RESEARCH What is being asked?

Researchers at Bend Memorial Clinic and elsewhere are wondering if using genetic information about sensitivity to warfarin, a drug used to prevent blood clots, will help them figure out the right dosing of the drug.

Warfarin, sometimes known by its brand name Coumadin, is a common drug but has a risk of causing hemorrhages or other bleeding complications. This clinical trial is looking at whether risky side effects will be minimized when genetic tests are used to help determine the right dose of the drug.

Who is eligible?

People at least 65 years old who have either just begun to take or have never taken warfarin.

What is the treatment?

Some subjects will be given a genetic test; others will have their warfarin dosing determined using standard clinical measures. Patients will be followed for about three months.

Who is sponsoring the trial?

Iverson Genetic Diagnostics, a Bothell, Wash.based company that develops genetic tests.

Who are the local contacts?

Dr. Matthew Lasala and Anne Bergin, 541318-3099

PacificSource will apply to be coordinated care organization PacificSource, a nonprofit health insurance company that manages care for most Central Oregonians with the Oregon Health Plan, will submit a letter of intent to the state to become a coordinated care organization for the region.

Coordinated care organizations, which were given the green light by the Oregon Legislature in February, will take in all funds for OHP members and will be responsible for managing those beneficiaries’ care. The idea is to save money while providing more effective care for patients.

The Central Oregon Health Council, a board that helps shape health care priorities in the area, may be a co-applicant, said Tammy Baney, board chairwoman and a Deschutes County Commissioner. Baney said the board would likely have a governing role in the coordinated care organization, helping establish the region’s health priorities and directing where money could be spent to improve public health.

According to a timeline posted by the state’s health department, the state’s first coordinated care organizations will be certified by the end of May and will have contracts in place to begin serving members by midsummer.

Living with cats is good for the heart A 10-year study at the University of Minnesota Stroke Center has found that cat owners were 40 percent less likely to have heart attacks than non-cat owners.

Could a cat’s purr be the reason? Purring is thought to be a calming mechanism for cats, said animal behavior consultant Steve Dale, and “maybe there’s a fallout and there’s another mammal species, us, that’s impacted.”

Transplant patients seek life without drugs • By transplanting part of a donor’s immune system, some patients can quit medications

By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Lindsay Porter’s kidneys were failing rapidly when a friend offered to donate one of his. Then she made an unusual request: Would he donate part of his immune system, too?

Every day for the rest of their lives, transplant recipients must swallow handfuls of pills to keep their bodies from rejecting a donated organ.

The Chicago woman hoped to avoid those problematic drugs, enrolling in a study to try to trick her own immune system into accepting a foreign kidney.

It’s one of a series of small, high-stakes experiments around the country that has researchers hopeful that they’re finally closing in on how to help at least some transplant patients go drugfree. The key: Create a sort of twin immunity, by transplanting some of the kidney donor’s immune-producing cells along with the new organ.

“I’m so lucky,” says the 47year-old Porter, who stumbled across the research at Chicago’s Northwestern University.

Porter was able to quit her pills last summer, a year after her transplant, and says, “I feel amazing.”

A more meaningful cure These experiments are a big gamble. If the technique fails, patients could lose their new kidney and possibly their lives. Doctors stress that no one should try quitting anti-re-

OHP Continued from F1 Within a couple of days of admission, Hurt was scheduled for surgery.

The new requirement, meant in part to save costs, backfired, said Feldman. “At every level we have now times 10 expanded the cost of this,” he said. And, he said, there’s the human toll. “If we would have done (the surgery) in a timely manner, she wouldn’t have suffered unnecessarily.”

The episode represents what has become one of the most vexing problems in health care. Health care policy-makers and insurers are touting care management as a way to save money and provide better quality care. In some cases, evidence shows that works.

But the risk, as Feldman illustrated, is a system with too much red tape. Physicians say they sometimes spend hours each day dealing with roadblocks. In this case, Feldman said, “they created a gatekeeper system that has impeded patient care.”

From PacificSource’s point of view, costs had to go down, said Dan Stevens, senior vice president of government programs for the nonprofit health insurer.

Last October, Stevens said, the state cut the amount of money for the OHP by 10 percent. That, he said, spurred discussions with physicians about “how to navigate the rate cut and continue to provide really great care.”

Central Oregon, he said, had further to go in constraining cost than other areas of the state.

A report from Milliman, an actuarial firm, completed last fall for a state council showed that Central Oregon had higher costs than any other region in the state for OHP clients.

For example, Medicaid patients in Central Oregon cost an average of $65 each month in doctor’s fees in 2010. The state average was $53 each month.

In large part, the study showed, the difference was due to Central Oregon OHP clients using more services

Porter was able to quit her anti-rejection medications, which keep transplant patients’ bodies from rejecting a new organ, because her kidney donor also donated part of his immune system.

jection drugs on their own.

Why risk it even in a careful scientific study? Anti-rejection medications can cause debilitating, even deadly, side effects, from fatigue and infections to an increased risk of cancer and kidney damage.

Without the drugs, “the hope for me is I’m able to keep this kidney for the rest of my life,” Porter says.

Across the country, Stanford University is testing a slightly different transplant method — and hosted a reunion earlier this month for about a dozen kidney recipients who’ve been drug-free for up to three years.

“These people who are off their drugs, they’re cured,” says Dr. Samuel Strober, who leads the study of Stanford’s approach. “If they have to be on drugs the rest of their life, it doesn’t have the same mean-

ing of ‘cure.’”

Anti-rejection drugs work by ratcheting down the immune system, suppressing it from attacking foreign cells.

For decades, scientists have sought ways to eliminate the need for the drugs by inducing what’s called tolerance — getting one person’s immune system to live in harmony with another person’s tissue.

The experimental approach involves transplanting the seeds of a new immune system along with a new kidney.

It’s the 21st-century version of a bone marrow transplant, and possible for now only if the transplanted kidney comes from a living donor.

How does it work? Doctors cull immune system-producing stem cells and other immunity cells from the donor’s bloodstream. They blast transplant patients with radiation

In pilot studies of a few dozen patients, Massachusetts General Hospital, Stanford and a team from Northwestern and the University of Louisville all have reported successfully weaning many, but not all, of their initial participants off anti-rejection drugs.

But each team uses slightly different methods, and it’s far from clear which might work best. For example, Mass General patients were weaned off drugs even though their hybrid

than other OHP clients across the state. Patients in Central Oregon spent more days in the hospital, and had more emergency room visits and more medical office visits than the state average.

Stevens attributed that higher utilization to a lack of patient management in this area. A large part of that fix, he said, was to better coordinate care through primary care providers.

But Feldman said that the process is complicated by a lack of primary care providers. Those offices that do take OHP, he said, are inundated with patients and perhaps unable to process referral requests quickly.

Historically, OHP and other government programs have reimbursed physicians at a lower rate than private health insurance. Physicians often say they need to restrict or even stop seeing patients with this type of insurance to maintain their practices’ financial solvency.

Beginning this year, primary care physicians who see OHP patients are paid a set monthly fee for each patient assigned to their practice, rather than a fee for each visit.

The average payment is $17 for each patient per month, said Dr. Stephen Mann, president of the Central Oregon Independent Practice Association, which negotiates contracts on behalf of many of the area’s physicians. Infants and complex patients, who are more likely to need more care, are reimbursed at a higher rate; low-risk patients are reimbursed at just $11 per month, he said.

Feldman said that amount is too low for almost any physician. Physicians lose money when they see these patients, he said. “If you run a business in the red, you don’t run a business.”

Mann, too, said OHP patients had historically had a hard time getting a primary care physician in the area because of the low reimbursements. Many of the adult patients are now seen at Mosaic Medical Clinic, a nonprofit medical clinic that receives

a grant from the federal government to take uninsured and OHP patients.

Megan Haase, the executive director of the clinic, said that as of six months ago, her most recent numbers, Mosaic was the primary care clinic for about 6,000 adults on the OHP, about half of the total number of Central Oregon adults with OHP coverage.

But Haase did not think the incident Feldman described was due to an overloading of patients. In the Prineville clinic, where Hurt received

primary care, the person who handles referrals was assigned other duties as well, she said, because there was not a heavy volume of referral requests. She said she would have to check into the incident further to see what might have happened.

Stevens said that PacificSource continues to work with physicians to iron out the kinks in the new system.

He said PacificSource intends to make exceptions in the referral requirement where it is warranted; for example, for

and medications to wipe out part of their own bone marrow, far more grueling than a regular kidney transplant.

That makes room for the donated cells to squeeze in and take root, creating a sort of hybrid immunity that scientists call chimerism, borrowing a page from mythology.

Early successes

immunity didn’t last — while it persisted for years in the other studies. That might be because researchers transplanted different mixes of cells, or because different pre-transplant treatments may alter how the patient’s body reacts.

The question is whether the transplant approach can be made easier and more reliable, said Dr. Laurence Turka of Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, who isn’t involved in those trials.

“We’re at the very early phase of something that has generated a lot of excitement in the scientific community,” says Turka, who also is deputy director of the Immune Tolerance Network, a consortium founded by the National Institutes of Health to spur the field.

“It has tremendous potential moving forward. Whether it will live up to its potential remains unknown.”

To help figure that out, researchers are beginning some new experiments: • Rather than treating only new transplant patients, the Northwestern-Louisville team is about to begin a pilot study transplanting donor immune cells to people years after they received their new kidney — as long as their long-ago organ donors still are alive and willing to provide those cells.

• Stanford is testing only people with well-matched donors, and hopes later this year to begin the first larger, multihospital study of that population. It also is about to begin testing its method in people with poorly-matched donors, like those studied by Northwestern and Mass General.

That’s important because so many transplant patients lack a well-matched kidney.

• Mass General’s study is set to restart soon after some changes to minimize side effects.

an oncologist trying to coordinate a newly diagnosed cancer patient’s care, he said.

Though the goal is to “let primary care providers decide when specialist care is needed,” he said, “it has to make sense from a payment perspective. It has to make sense from a care perspective.”

He continued, “If there are some areas where there was an unintended impact to our change,” we need to address it.
