Judgerule

returnsAttorneys canrequest removalwithout a reasonBy Ben BotkinTimes-News writer

Attorneys can once again dis-qualify judges from criminal casesin the Idaho court system withoutneeding to state a reason.

The Idaho Supreme Court onMonday ordered the reinstate-ment of the right for attorneys —both prosecutors and defenselawyers — to disqualify a judgewithout cause. The reinstate-ment, effective starting Saturday,comes after the state’s highestcourt in July suspended the part ofCriminal Rule 25 allowing ajudge’s disqualification withoutcause.

The July suspension left the restof the rule intact, and meant thatattorneys wanting to disqualify ajudge had to state a cause. At thetime, Chief Justice DanielEismann stated the section allow-ing removal without cause “hasbeen used excessively and abusedso that the use of the rule shouldbe curtailed and a study made ofthe possible modification or elim-ination of the rule.”

The new order,a one-page doc-ument signed by Eismann, statesthat the reinstatement comes“upon reconsideration.” The rulesection is apparently unchanged.

Twin Falls County ProsecutorGrant Loebs welcomed the returnof the full disqualification tool.

It’s needed to help both sides ina trial ensure that they get a fairand unbiased judge, Loebs said.

A member of the state courtsystem’s criminal rules advisorycommittee, Loebs was involved inmeetings about the issue that ledthe committee to recommend therule return.

He said he can’t point to a casesince the July suspension where hewould have used the rule, but saidit’s an important part of the systemto have available when needed.

“It’s a significant safety valvefor the system,” he said. “Withmost things like that, you don’twant to use the emergency brakevery often, but when you do, youlike to have it there.”

The rule has caused friction inthe past in the court system. FifthJudicial District Judge RobertElgee told the Times-News in2009 that Loebs and BlaineCounty Prosecutor Jim Thomaswere abusing the rule.

Elgee petitioned the SupremeCourt to change the rule that year,but said since that the matter hassmoothed over locally. His peti-tion did not appear connected tothe eventual suspension of therule.

Elgee couldn’t be reached forcomment on Monday.

T.F. Co. gets certifiedin damage assessment By Nick ColtrainTimes-News writer

Before this month, any damageassessment done after a MagicValley disaster would have beendone by out-of-towners likelyunfamiliar with the valley and itsresidents.

But now, five Twin Falls Countyemployees and officials are certi-fied as damage assessors, whichallows them to start the paperworkand documentation needed to getstate and federal relief in case of anatural disaster.

County Commissioners TomMikesell and Terry Kramer, TwinFalls County Sheriff’s Officeemployees Tim Miller and LoriStewart, and Twin Falls CountyEmergency Services CoordinatorJackie Frey completed the one-daytraining, hosted by the IdahoBureau of Homeland Security.

“In the past, we do not have

local people trained, so they weresending them from the state orother counties,” Frey said. “A lot ofpeople that come in here don’tknow the local sites or the peoplethat live here.”

The five assessors may also beasked to help in other parts of thestate, Frey said — for example, ifthere are floods in north Idaho.

“We’re a resource that’s avail-able to the state when it requires usto be,” she said.

Stewart,victim care coordinatorand public information officer forthe sheriff’s office, said the train-ing helped expand her circle ofknowledge on disaster declaration— though she’d likely be too busyto assess damage for the state orfederal government if it happenedin Twin Falls County.

“The training is not going to ben-efit the sheriff’s office,” Stewartsaid.“It is going to benefit the com-munity.”

Gifted petsturned

pound pups:

By Nick ColtrainTimes-News writer

A little, unnamed huskyraced around the Twin FallsAnimal Shelter on Monday aseasily as he might havearound a Christmas tree,albeit without the ornamentsto dislodge.

He tumbled around with adachshund puppy namedSlip that he will soon dwarf.Shelter Supervisor KathleenOlmstead said he was turnedin as a stray, but her instinctstell her the purebred huskypup was probably a gift thatdidn’t quite work out.

The exact number ofwould-be Christmas petsthat animal shelters receive ishard to tack down because anumber of people say theywere found as strays whenbringing them in. But anec-dotally, January is laden withnew dogs, Olmstead said.

“They’re cute and cuddlyand that’s what people look at,and that’s well and good,”

Olmstead said.“But (pet own-ership) is more than that.”

January is the month whenfolks realize that it’s tough tohouse-train a puppy in thewinter, and when peoplereturn to normal from vaca-tion mode, she said. But theproblem of unwanted giftedpets isn’t a Christmas exclu-sive: birthdays and other tra-ditional gift-giving holidaysbring them in also.

Giving a pet as a gift iscommon enough — andproblematic enough — that itwarrants a question on thepet adoption form at theTwin Falls Animal Shelter, apractice Olmstead said iscommon. Answering “yes”isn’t a red flag, but it doesprovoke more questions toensure the gift-giver, andreceiver if available toanswer, has thought itthrough. That means havingthe time and energy for thepet.

“It’s a live commodity; it’snot a jacket,” Olmstead said.

Switching homes for ananimal is a traumatic experi-ence and can exacerbatestress-driven misbehavior,such as digging or chewing,

A PERSISTENT PROBLEM

Main 2 Tuesday, December 28, 2010 TN Times-News, Twin Falls, Idaho MORNING MIX

Minico grad recognized for Army serviceBy Laurie WelchTimes-News writer

BURLEY — Mention mili-tary medals, and manymight think of heroic fire-fights or feats in battle.

But good planning as U.S.troops scaled back in Iraqthis year earned U.S. ArmyMaj. Karrie Patterson theBronze Star last month.

A 1987 Minico HighSchool graduate, Patterson isa logistics planner who hasbeen deployed five times toIraq. She is now about fiveyears away from retiringfrom her military career withthe “Fighting First” 1stInfantry Division, stationedin Fort Riley, Kansas, and ledby Maj. Gen. Vincent Brooks.

“It’s so crystal-clear whenI come home,” Pattersonsaid Monday about what’sdriven her lifelong service tothe U.S. “We are all free inthis country. We can wakeup in the morning and dowhat we wish within certainparameters. We are all free togrow up, get married andhave kids and pursue ourdreams. But, it is a realpleasure and it will be veryfulfilling to wake up that firstmorning after retirement toknow that I really earned it.”

The Bronze Star is given tomembers of the militarywho demonstrate “heroic ormeritorious achievement orservice.”

Patterson received thecommendation before theend of her latest stint in Iraq.It was awarded in large partfor her work under Brooks’tutelage, developing a “see-saw” plan for disposing of “amountain of stuff” the mili-tary had accumulated dur-ing the troop drawdown.

Her planning covered allkinds of equipment and sup-plies that had been sent to Iraqduring the war — leavingsome of it in Iraq, forwardingsome to operations inAfghanistan and returningsome stateside withoutaffecting operations.

“It’s really great to be aplanner,” Patterson said.“Because all you have to dois come up with a big dreamand everybody else exe-cutes it.

“The division and thebrigade took the great partsof the plan and executed itperfectly. In fact, (U.S.)Division South was wellahead of everyone else as faras executing our responsibledrawdown of forces.”

Patterson enlisted in theIdaho Air National Guardin 1991, serving six years,and in 1998 went into theU.S. Army as a commis-

sioned officer.“My dad and grandfather

taught me a lot about serv-ice,” she said. “I think it wasjust something I fell into bynature.”

Patterson said she hasbeen greatly influenced byher father, Wes “Pat”Patterson, a former MHShistory and governmentteacher, and her grandfather,Lewis W.Patterson,a pilot inWorld War II. Her great-grandfather, Charles Belnap,was one of the original 1stInfantry Division soldiers inWorld War I.

“It took me a little while toget there,” Patterson said inthe interview at her family’shome in Burley. “But Ialways wanted to follow inGrandpa Patterson’s foot-steps. I would sit here in thishouse and he would sit overthere in the corner, and Iwould listen to his stories.”

Always a planner, Patter-son said when she finallyleaves this earth she willproudly rest in ArlingtonNational Cemetery along-side her military brothersand sisters. For now, shehopes to finish out her careerin the Army at Fort Rileywith the “Fighting First.”

“I hope to stay there a lit-tle longer and then fromthere I’ll go where the Armyneeds me,” she said, addingthat she’s always happy to bewherever she lands.

After retirement, sheplans to take back up hob-bies she learned from herfather.

“When I retire, I plan togrow it, I plan to hunt it,throw it all into a pot andmake a great stew,” she said.

Questions lingerabout death of Idaho’s

rock-star jockey

WWe’re coming upon the 75thanniversary of

one of strangest suicides inIdaho history.

On May 16, 1936,Laverne Fator of Hailey —one of the most famousjockeys in an era whenjockeys were Americanidols — died in a fall from afifth-floor New York Cityhospital room.

Time magazine called itsuicide. A lot of folks aren’tso sure.

Fator was born in Haileyin 1902 and learned to ridealmost before he couldwalk. By the time he was ateenager, he was compet-ing on outlaw tracks andcounty fairs across theWest.

At 16, he won his firstmajor race — at OrientalPark Raceway in Havana,of all places — and hiscareer was off at a gallop.In his first year as alicensed jockey — 1919 —Fator finished third in thenational standings.

He raced on the NewYork State circuit in a pro-fessional career that lastedthrough 1933. As a contractjockey for Rancocas Stablein 1925 and 1926, Fatorwon the national champi-onship by earnings.

Fator rode in theKentucky Derby fourtimes, most famously in1932. Stable owner EdwardBradley offered the jockeyhis choice of two horses hehad entered. Fator pickedthe colt Brother Joe, leav-ing Burgoo King for 19-year-old Eugene James,who won the race. Legendhas it that Fator passed upBurgoo King because thehorse was assigned No. 13

for the race.Until Caldwell’s Gary

Stevens, a three-timeDerby winner, came alongin the 1980s, Fator was themost successful Idahojockey ever.

Eighteen years after hisdeath, Fator was still well-regarded enough tobecome a charter memberof the National Racing Hallof Fame with 46 major-race victories (1,075 over-all).

So why would the jockeythrow himself out of a hos-pital window at age 35?There’s a persistent theorythat he didn’t.

Fator was admitted toJamaica Hospital with acuteappendicitis, which was nosmall matter in 1936. Oncea patient’s appendix burst— which Fator’s probablyhad — there was a 1-in-3chance of death. And peni-cillin was still nearly adecade away.

One of the symptoms ofa hot appendix is a highfever and one of the sideeffects of fever is delirium.Fator, the theory goes,went looking for somefresh air and fell out thewindow.

As a kid, Fator cheateddeath all the time by ridinghorses no one else couldhandle. His was an ironicend for a man whom Timecalled “the iciest jockeywho ever rode a horse.”

That Santafeelinghasn’t leftshoppers

NEW YORK (AP) —Forget the returns line.People hit the stores afterChristmas to buy,indulging the rediscov-ered retail appetite thatmay have made 2010’sholiday shopping seasonthe biggest ever.

Revenue for the holi-day season is on track togrow at its strongest ratesince 2006. Total spend-ing for November andDecember could exceed2007 sales — the bestseason on record. Thisdespite an uncertaineconomy and a rise inthrifty habits.

Shoppers spent moreon their family andfriends and for the firsttime since before theGreat Recession, treatedthemselves and even theirpets. And after Christ-mas, even an East Coastblizzard didn’t kill themood as they headed tostores armed with giftcards and eyeing a newcrop of discounts.

Mall of America’sspokesman Dan Jasperreported Monday thatshoppers are doing morebuying and less returningthis week than a year ago.

“People are definitelytreating themselves,”particularly to jeans andaccessories, he said.

Idaho gets $350,000in drug settlementBy Ben BotkinTimes-News writer

Idaho has received$350,045.89 in a settlementwith Novartis Pharmaceu-ticals Corp., following alle-gations that the interna-tional company was in-volved in unlawful kickbackschemes to induce physi-cians to write prescriptionsfor its drugs.

Idaho Attorney GeneralLawrence Wasden onMonday announced thesettlement, an effort thatinvolved his Medicaid FraudControl Unit, other statesand the federal govern-ment.

The settlement is theoutcome of an investigationinto the corporation’s pro-motional activities sur-rounding Trileptal, a drugapproved by the U.S. Foodand Drug Administration totreat partial seizures inepilepsy patients.

Novartis’ promotionalefforts — aimed at psychia-trists and other health careprofessionals — inducedproviders to prescribe thedrug for uses that aren’tFDA-approved, includingbipolar disorder and neuro-pathic pain, according tothe attorney general’soffice.

The company also illegal-ly paid health care profes-sionals so they would, inturn, promote and prescribeTrileptal, according to the

attorney general’s office.Other drugs were part of

the settlement too —Diovan, Zelnorm, Sando-statin, Exforge and Tek-turna. The settlement re-solves allegations that be-tween 2002 and 2009,Novartis provided illegalcompensation such as pay-ments for speaker pro-grams, advisory boards, andgifts of entertainment, trav-el and meals to health careprofessionals so they wouldpromote and prescribe thedrugs, according to theattorney general’s office.

Based in Switzerland,Novartis’ pharmaceuticalsdivision posted $28.5 billionin net sales for 2009. Thecompany has research anddevelopment and produc-tion sites in a dozen coun-tries, including the UnitedStates, Europe and Asia,according to its website.

“NPC is pleased to havethis matter behind us andwill continue to work withthe government and otherorganizations to improvehealthcare for all Amer-icans,” the company said ina statement about the set-tlement. “We are commit-ted to high standards of eth-ical business conduct andregulatory compliance inthe sale and marketing ofour products.”

As for the settlement,Idaho Medicaid will receive$118,661.07 in restitution.The other $231,384.82 will

go into the state’s generalfund, where it will beappropriated by the Leg-islature.

It’s not the first recentsettlement the state’s madewith pharmaceutical com-panies. In October, Idahoreceived a separate $985,105settlement with NovartisPharmaceuticals Corp. andNovartis Vaccines & Diag-nostics Inc., resolving alle-gations that the companypromoted a cystic fibrosisdrug for uses not approvedby the FDA.

In recent years, settle-ments involving pharma-ceutical companies trans-lated into millions for thestate. For example, since2005, seven cases withpharmaceutical companiesinvolved in improper aver-age wholesale pricing havebeen settled for $8.6 mil-lion.

“When you add them upit’s a significant amount ofmoney returned to thestate,” said Bob Cooper,spokesman for the attorneygeneral’s office.

BOISE (AP) — An activistand supporter of Idaho Rep.Phil Hart is trying to lodgean ethics complaint againstone of the state lawmaker’sbiggest critics, RepublicanRep. Eric Anderson.

Lawmakers are alreadyinvestigating Anderson’scomplaint against Hart, aRepublican battling stateand federal authorities overunpaid taxes. Andersonclaims Hart’s removal ofstate-owned timber with-out paying for it, along withhis refusal to pay incometaxes, violate his oath touphold the U.S. and stateconstitutions.

Hart supporter LarrySpencer fired back last weekwith a five-page letter toIdaho House SpeakerLawerence Denney, lodgingcomplaints of ethics viola-tions against Anderson.

Spencer claims Anderson

has engaged in conflicts ofinterest in the Idaho Legis-lature because he’s a contrac-tor and voted in favor of con-tractor licensing legislation.

Anderson also worked ona state milfoil eradicationprogram and lives on PriestLake, which is among theIdaho lakes where milfoil isnow being eradicated,Spencer argues.

But only House memberscan file such complaints,according to Idaho officials.

“Our rules on ethics arebasically for the House, andI think the attorney generalwill say that a complaintfrom other than a Housemember is not acceptable,”said Denney, who forward-ed Spencer’s complaintonto to House EthicsCommittee Chairman Rep.Tom Loertscher.

“I really didn’t look at it,’’Denney told the

Spokesman-Review. “I’vegot enough on my platealready.’’

Anderson said he hasn’tworked as a contractor sincehe was elected to the IdahoLegislature in 2004.

“I kinda dove into thislegislative thing headfirstand never had any time anymore,” said Anderson, whodefended his work on thestate milfoil eradicationprogram.

“I do live at a lake whereit’s, I think, one of the mostbeautiful lakes in the world,and as an elected official Icertainly think I have aresponsibility to try to keepit that way,” Anderson said.

Built for the Magic Valley, Built By the Magic Valley

As a community, we are always glad to see companies willing to make an invest-

ment in our area. All too often the work that goes in to creating the building itself is done by large out of state entities. The Pinnacle Build-

ing at River Vista changed all that. Not only will this building house local businesses, but the actual structure was created by the efforts of people right here in the Magic Valley. The contractors and investors involved in

this project would like to invite you to come see a most unique building.

WWith the possible exception ofTennessee’s, no state’s governorsor congressional delegation havebeen more strongly pro-nuclearenergy over the past 60 years

than Idaho’s.That’s understandable. The first commercial

nuclear energy lit up Arco in 1955 and the IdahoNational Laboratory has been a virtually recession-proof bulwark of Idaho’s economy for even longer.

But the collapse of Alternative Energy HoldingsInc. — and its plans to build a $10 billion nuclearpower plant in Payette County — didn’t change thebasic equation of energy in this state. It’s still possi-ble — perhaps likely — that Idaho will be the laststate to build a commercial nuclear power plant.

The reasons are simple: Idahoans pay less for akilowatt-hour of electricity than anybody else inAmerica, and that power doesn’t come fromnuclear plants.

Hydropower still provides a plurality of Idaho’senergy — 48 percent — and it’s still relatively cheap.Coal accounts for another 42 percent.

So to add commercial nuclear power to the mix inIdaho would make the electricity we use to heat andlight our homes and businesses and run our irriga-tion systems more expensive.

That’s just not how the economics of energywork.

There are two factors — a major change in federalsalmon management policy or huge increase in thecost of fossil fuels — that could change that. Buteven so, Idaho simply has cheaper options.

One of them is blossoming all around you. Windpower is the fastest-growing energy sector inIdaho, and really its only limiting factor is the will-ingness of utilities such as Idaho Power to partici-pate further.

Solar and geothermal are also on the horizon —although still in their development infancy inIdaho.

Which is not to say there’s no place for commer-cial nuclear power in Idaho. It’s just hard to seehow, for the forseeable future anyway, it wouldpencil out.

T H E L I G H T E R S I D E O F P O L I T I C S

OOver the past threeyears, Americanpolitics has been

dominated by a liberal fan-tasy and a conservativefreakout.

The fantasy was the ideathat Barack Obama, a one-term senator with anappealing biography and asilver tongue, would turnout to be Franklin DelanoRoosevelt, Robert F.Kennedy and MahatmaGandhi all rolled into one.This fantasy inspired a waveof 1960s-style enthusiasm,an unsettling personalitycult (that “Yes We Can”video full of harmonizingcelebrities only gets creepierin hindsight) and a lot ofover-the-top promisesfrom Obama himself. It per-suaded Democrats that thelaws of politics had beensuspended, and that everylegislative goal they’d everdreamed about was nowwithin reach. It was evenpowerful enough to winPresident Obama a NobelPeace Prize, just for beinghis amazing self.

The freakout, whichbegan in earnest during thelong, hot health care sum-

mer of 2009, started fromthe same premise as thefantasy — that the Obamapresidency really was capa-ble of completely trans-forming American societyand that we might be on thebrink of a new New Deal ora greater Great Society. Butto freaked-out conserva-tives, this seemed more likea nightmare than a dream.So they flipped the liberalscript: Where Obama’sacolytes were utopian, con-servatives turned apocalyp-tic, pitting liberty againsttyranny, freedom againstsocialism, American excep-tionalism against the fate ofNineveh and Tyre.

This wasn’t a congenialclimate for bipartisanship,to put it mildly. The fantasyensured that the Democratswould go for broke (quiteliterally, judging by thebudget figures) on domesticpolicy — anything else, after

all, would have been a wasteof their world-historicalmoment. The freakoutensured that Republicans,more or less in lock step,would resist every proposaland vote “no” on every bill.(After all, to compromisewith tyranny was no betterthan surrendering to it.)

So Democrats hailed thedeath of conservatism andthe dawn of a glorious liberalepoch and then griped thatRepublicans wouldn’t lendtheir support to its fulfill-ment. Republicansdenounced PresidentObama as a Marxist andshrieked “you lie!” at him inthe House chambers, andthen they complained thathe wouldn’t listen to theirideas.

But in the past month oflame-duck activity, we’vewitnessed a return to politi-cal normalcy. TheRepublican midterm sweepdelivered the coup de graceto the liberal fantasy by dra-matically foreshorteningwhat many pundits expect-ed to be an enduringDemocratic majority. But italso dropped a lid, at leasttemporarily, on the conser-

vative freakout. (It’s hard tofret that much about thesupposed Kenyan-Marxistradical in the White Housewhen anything he accom-plishes has to be co-signedby John Boehner.)

In this brave new post-election world, lawmakerson both sides stoppedbehaving like players insome Beltway version of thebattle at Armageddon andstarted behaving like, well,lawmakers. They cut deals,traded horses, preened forthe cameras, and cast theirvotes on a mix of principle,pique and political self-interest, rather than justfalling into line for oragainst the Obama agenda.

This return to normalcy isgood news for fans of bipar-tisan comity and centrismfor centrism’s sake. And itmight be good news for thecountry. In the end, somesort of bipartisanship willbe required to pull Americaback from the fiscalprecipice.

public schools, my friendsteach there and learn there. Iwill gladly donate to help fixthe water problem in mycommunity’s public school.If we care about the situa-tion our kids are in, why arewe waiting for a bond to putin a new furnace or addsome rooms? Let’s do itnow!

I challenge the schoolboard and administration toget us together and get theseprojects done now. We arewilling to make some sacri-fices if it is really for thekids. If the situation is notthat dire, then please stopinsulting our teachers,coaches and students. Theyare just as capable of teach-ing as Mrs. Nye was. Therewas never a duller studentthan Chad Fridal and yet hesomehow learned in that60-year-old desk.

Exposure of nuke scambrought persecution

The community perse-cuted Dr. Peter Rickards and

owes him an apology.Dr. Rickards exposed this

infamous chap Gillespie andhis diabolical nuclear scamon Day 1. While Dr. Rickardswas attempting to exposeGillespie and his nefariousproject, the federal, stateand local officials as well asthe media, courts and lawenforcement were complicitin facilitating Gillespie onthe one hand and persecut-ing Dr. Rickards on theother hand. One local radiocommentator was actuallyacting as a foot soldier,organizer and pamphleteerfor Gillespie. MeanwhileGillespie and the entirepolitical machine, includingthe media and legal system,prosecuted, persecuted,harassed, convicted andsmeared Dr. Rickards fortrying to tell them the sim-ple truth about the Gillespie“Atomic Ruse.”

If there were any honorleft in our community, thelaw enforcement officers,the judge, the local politi-cians and the media,including the radio com-mentator/pamphleteerworking for Gillespie, would

offer Dr. Rickards a com-plete exoneration for thegross injustice executedagainst him for simply try-ing to tell the truth aboutGillespie. Unfortunately Dr.Rickards heroism and self-sacrifice will go unsung.The local gentry will say,“who me?” and the stainthey placed on a selflessgood man will remain.

Once the self-righteousmob of elites burn thewrong evil witch at thestake, all they choose to dois go to church the nextSunday morning and hopenobody recognizes them forthe foul deeds they havecommitted against Dr.Rickards.

For what it is worth, Dr.Rickards, I for one am sorryfor the acute injustice thiscommunity committedagainst you and herebyhonor your heroism.

Hint of improprietyis unacceptable

Last February, I attendedthe Hazelton “Capital For A

Day” forum with Gov. Otterand his cabinet. As a publicschool teacher, I voiced myconcerns with the massivecuts in education. I hadbeen following a storyregarding the approximately$250 million in uncollectedtaxes in Idaho and ques-tioned both Otter and TaxCommission ChairmanRoyce Chigbrow of thelegitimacy of the story. I wastold that the commissionhad hired more auditors andthat the situation was beingremedied. Mr. Otter indi-cated that much of this taxmoney would never berecouped, as it was revenuethat would have come frombusinesses that unfortu-nately had failed during therecession.

I thanked them for theirconsideration and leftbelieving that the problemwas being addressed asmuch as it could be.Admittedly naive; however,teachers must keep someidealism alive for the healthof their students’ psyches —even though we know bet-ter. Imagine my “surprise”when I recently read that

employees of the TaxCommission say Chigbrow“intervened on behalf of hisson’s accounting firm overobjections from agencyworkers.” (Full story atwww.kboi2.com)

Go beyond the legalspeak, posturing and eva-sive maneuvers and the dis-heartening conclusion isthat Chigbrow used hisposition to help his son’swell-connected clients. Anywrongdoing is, of course,denied, but this is a situa-tion where even a hint ofimpropriety is unaccept-able. Mr. Chigbrow, is thiswhat you meant when youtold me, to my face, thatyour agency was doingeverything it could torecoup the tax money?

It seems to me that ourstate government, which isquick to point out corrup-tion in Washington, is hav-ing trouble keeping its ownhouse in order. This isshameful behavior for apublic servant, and Idemand a redress of griev-ances.

Commodity markets tell us the world is finite

OOil is back above $90a barrel. Copper andcotton have hit

record highs. Wheat andcorn prices are way up. Overall, world commodity priceshave risen by a quarter inthe past six months.

So what’s the meaning ofthis surge?

Is it speculation runamok? Is it the result ofexcessive money creation, aharbinger of runaway infla-tion just around the corner?No and no.

What the commoditymarkets are telling us is thatwe’re living in a finite world,in which the rapid growth ofemerging economies is plac-ing pressure on limited sup-plies of raw materials, push-ing up their prices. AndAmerica is, for the most part,just a bystander in this story.

Some background: Thelast time the prices of oiland other commoditieswere this high, 2 1/2 years

ago, many commentatorsdismissed the price spike asan aberration driven byspeculators. And theyclaimed vindication whencommodity prices plungedin the second half of 2008.

But that price collapsecoincided with a severeglobal recession, which ledto a sharp fall in demand forraw materials.

Well, it still feels like arecession in America. Butthanks to growth in devel-oping nations, world indus-trial production recentlypassed its previous peak —and, sure enough, com-modity prices are surgingagain.

This doesn’t necessarily

mean that speculationplayed no role in 2007-2008. Nor should we rejectthe notion that speculationis playing some role in cur-rent prices; for example,who is that mystery investorwho has bought up much ofthe world’s copper supply?But the fact that world eco-nomic recovery has alsobrought a recovery in com-modity prices strongly sug-gests that recent price fluc-tuations mainly reflect fun-damental factors.

What about commodityprices as a harbinger ofinflation? Many commen-tators on the right have beenpredicting for years that theFederal Reserve, by printinglots of money — it’s notactually doing that, butthat’s the accusation — issetting us up for severeinflation. Stagflation iscoming, declared Rep. PaulRyan in February 2009;Glenn Beck has been warn-

ing about imminent hyper-inflation since 2008.

Yet inflation hasremained low. What’s aninflation worrier to do?

One response has been aproliferation of conspiracytheories, of claims that thegovernment is suppressingthe truth about risingprices. But lately many onthe right have seized on ris-ing commodity prices asproof that they were rightall along, as a sign of highoverall inflation just aroundthe corner.

The big problem withthose blaming the Fed forrising commodity prices isthat they’re suffering fromdelusions of U.S. economicgrandeur. For commodityprices are set globally, andwhat America does just isn’tthat important a factor.

One of the first parts ofthe new health care lawready for consumers —special health plans devot-ed to the insurance indus-try’s rejects — is attractingonly a fraction of the pre-dicted customers,prompting the Obamaadministration and statesto step up their strategiesto motivate people to buythem. At the same time,since the plans opened forbusiness in the late sum-mer and early fall, themedical bills so far are, inat least a few states, muchhigher than anticipated,raising the question ofwhether $5 billion thatCongress has devoted tothe program could run outeven if relatively few peo-ple join.

TREND 2011Planting veggies and slipcovering the chairs

DREW NASH/Times-News

Construction worker Jose Tena, left, sizes and stacks boards on a Lance LeBaron Homes job site in the Settler’s Ridge neighborhood Wednesday afternoon in Twin Falls.

Saving money and doing it yourselfare still big trends when it comes toyour home and garden, whether that

means expanding the vegetable patch afterlast summer’s success or learning a littleplumbing to fix that annoying leaky faucet.

Homeowners have lots of opportunitiesto make their houses more energy effi-cient, even with federal tax credits expiringat the end of 2010, while those who arebuilding or tackling major renovations aredoing so on a smaller scale.

That subdued mood carries over to interiors, with French-influenced tone-on-tone decor and textured fabricsintended to encourage serenity and comfort in your home.

This week, Times-News reporters look aheadat what 2011 will bring to south-centralIdaho. Watch for these special stories inTimes-News feature sections and atMagicvalley.com:

WWeeddnneessddaayy:: Asian invasion, pies as the nextbig dessert and more on the foodie front

Thursday: Poaching patrol, GPS geeks andmore in the great outdoors

Friday: Stable ticket prices, community classes and more things to expect in the arts

Saturday: Technology at church, the rise ofcounseling and other religious developments

Leslie and Craig Nielsen renovated this room in their Paul home for their son, Dylan, in 2009. Despite

a slowdown in some home-improvement sectors, paint is still selling well.

DIY, but only as neededThe aisles of home improvement and

hardware stores have been emptier of late,and when people do come in, they’re onlylooking to make small changes or minorrepairs, say store managers.

“The biggest difference we see is they’renot so much redoing stuff as maintainingstuff,” said Marc Green, manager at L.L.Green’s in Hailey. Customers are alsolearning some skills they previously wouldhave left to professionals. “People say,‘This is broken and (the repairmen) say it’llcost this much to fix; can I fix it on myown?’”

Some are doing minor upgrades, par-ticularly if they are trying to sell or rent

out a home, like a bathroom remodeling,replacing light fixtures or faucets, orrepainting.

Brad Perkins, owner of CommunityBuilding Supply in Murtaugh, said this isthe flattest he’s seen sales since the1950s, and he’s not optimistic that willchange in 2011 despite the minimal costof materials.

“We’re seeing lumber prices so low Ican’t even remember when they were thisgood,” he said. “All we’re still selling ispaint. I think a lot of it is they don’t havethe money, and the ones who do are holding onto it.”

It’s probably too late to take advantageof federal tax credits for energy efficien-cy — those programs expire on Friday —but there are still lots of ways to get help.

With incentives that can subsidize asmuch as half of the cost of insulating anattic, 3,000 Idaho homes took advan-tage of that program through IdahoPower last year, said Celeste Becia,leader of residential energy-efficiencyprograms for the company. Another600 new homes were certified asEnergy Star, and 13,000 customers gothelp with an Energy Star appliance pur-chase. Participation in all 12 residentialincentive programs is expected to con-tinue rising in 2011, she said.

People are increasingly aware of theirenergy usage, said Randy Smith, co-chairman of the College of SouthernIdaho Sustainability Council, whichadvises the college and also offers infor-mation to the public on environmental-ly friendly practices and energy effi-ciencies. Tools like the smart metersthat recently became available forcheckout at local libraries are puttingnumbers to that awareness, by allowingcustomers to directly see how muchelectricity each appliance or electronicdevice uses.

Smith said compact florescent bulbshave become competitively pricedalternatives to incandescent, although

they will increasingly be replaced byLED bulbs that are even more efficient.

There’s a bit lessextravagance in newhome construction,which has picked up fromits low in years past, sayarea contractors.

“I’m busier right nowthan I’ve been in a longtime, but not everybodycan say that,” said LanceLeBaron, owner of LanceLeBaron Homes in TwinFalls. He said more peopleare interested in buildingoutside city limits, nowthat land prices have fall-en. But no matter wherethey’re building, they’redoing it with more atten-tion to detail. “People aremore specific on whatthey want built, ratherthan you building any-thing and having peoplebuy it. … Now they wantto make sure it’s whatthey want before they buyit.”

Thinking more to thefuture, homeowners arechoosing quality overquantity, said MichaelBayless, owner of Start to

Finish Builders in Burley.For example, tile insteadof linoleum — but in asmaller kitchen — orhigher-quality cabinetry.

“They want it to begood 20 years down theroad, so that when themarket does come back,they get the most bangfor their buck,” he said.“Instead of going big andcheaper, they’re going

small and nicer, stuff thatwill last.”

And increasingly, peo-ple hiring contractorsaren’t first-time home-owners looking to build anew house. Instead, thosecustomers are upgrading— either building biggerfrom scratch, or remodel-ing to expand what theyalready own.

NO DELAYA recent grad makes her first place her dream place, H&G 2

By Terri SapienzaThe Washington Post

WASHINGTON — WhenHeloise McKee moved hereafter college, she packed hercar with the essentials: fivebags of clothes, an alarmclock and a folder filled withtear sheets from shelter mag-azines.

Like many recent collegesgraduates, McKee, 23, wasgearing up to start a new job,begin graduate school andsupport herself for the firsttime. The highlight of thisheady transition was finding,and decorating, her firstapartment.

“I was excited about mov-ing to D.C., but I was moreexcited about decorating,’’the native of Memphis,Tenn., says in her charmingSouthern drawl. “I knewwhat I wanted my place tolook like before I moved in.’’

McKee says her threeroommates are equallyenthused and can talk aboutdecorating for hours. Theyoften sit together and passaround home furnishing cat-alogues, folding down pagecorners and pointing outpieces they want.

They are having so muchfun outfitting their row-house, McKee says, that atone point they decreed:“We’re not going out, we’renot eating, we’re just deco-rating!’’

Today’s 20-somethings aremore design-conscious anddesign-savvy than previousgenerations: They grew upwith 24-hour decoratingcable TV channels, they readdesign blogs and online shel-ter magazines, and they shopat retailers that offer gooddesign at budget-friendlyprices. They know that deco-rating is not only about aes-thetics; it’s about expressingwho they are.

For McKee, it’s also aboutindependence. “This is thefirst time I get to chooseeverything,’’ she says.

But she began by listeningto her mother: “I took mymom’s advice to go throughmagazines and pull pageswith things I liked.’’

She ended up with a pile ofpages that featured roomswith a predominantly white-and-beige palette, salon-style walls with framed pho-tos and art hung in largegroupings, shelving that dis-played perfectly placed booksand accessories, and creativestorage solutions, such as atall glass cylinder filled withdifferent-colored belts.

Next, she called on anexpert.

Her aunt, CatharineRoberts, is a co-owner ofCatharine Roberts, OliverDunn and Moss & Co., a shopin Georgetown that sells a mixof old and new American,French and Swedish furnitureand accessories. McKeeaffectionately refers toRoberts as “auntmother.’’

“Heloise knew what shewanted and what she didn’twant,’’ says Roberts. “Ishopped with her and helpedher place furniture.’’

Together, Roberts andMcKee searched for thebasics (bedding,bookshelves,tables and lighting) at budg-et-friendly, big box stores(Ikea and Target) and at out-

lets of pricier chains(Williams-Sonoma, PotteryBarn and West Elm). Robertsalso introduced McKee tolocal places to look for smallaccessories.

“Then,’’ says Roberts, “shewent into my basement andfilled in the rest.’’

All recent grads should beso lucky. Roberts’s basementis loaded with finds fromshops and flea markets inParis. From this well-curatedstash, McKee scored a head-board, a decorative screen, apair of red occasional chairs,aside table, a large framedblackboard, small accessoriesand several pairs of pale yel-low silk curtain panels.

McKee chose to live in thebasement of her group house.While many people wouldn’thave chosen it, McKee saw itspotential and transformed itinto a cozy, inviting retreat.The large space is a soothingsea of neutrals, with a mix ofold and new pieces, flea mar-ket finds and personal acces-sories.

To soften the basement’sconcrete walls, Roberts sug-gested hanging fabric fromfloor to ceiling behind thebed, using a vertical stripe tomake the ceiling appear taller.“One of the things she taughtme is how to look at things indifferent ways,’’ McKee says.

The roommates had placed

a large L-shaped sectional inthe upstairs living room,visually dividing the room inhalf. Roberts opened up theroom by separating the sec-tional’s two pieces, placingthem on opposite sides of theroom to face each other. Sheused a linen tablecloth tofashion a skirt to concealwhere the sectional had beensplit.

Cleaning your porcelain throne requires some serious potty know

lower the water level in your toilet with your Johnny mop so that the

chemicals have direct contact on dirt, scum and germs. Otherwise, you are dilut-

Designer sharescomfy home ideasAkron Beacon Journal

Noted interior designerBunny Williams believes ahome should be for livingin, not just looking at.

In her new book,“Bunny Williams’ Scrap-book for Living’’ sheshares her ideas for mak-ing a home not just beau-tiful, but welcoming,comfortable and func-tional as well.

Williams takes readersroom by room through atypical house and offerstips and suggestions foreach space. For example,for safety’s sake, she rec-ommends putting stone

floors with a honed finishin an entrance hall insteadof a highly polished floor;making sure a living roomhas different types ofchairs, since deep seats arehard for some people toget out of; and usingupholstered chairs or a rugin the dining room to soft-en the sound when manypeople are talking.

The tips are quick toread and are accompaniedby photos by Amy Archerto illustrate the points.

Q: Is it a problem whenthere is moisture

around the inside edges ofa window? My son and hiswife have bought a housethat is about 25 years oldwith casement windows,and often in the winter,there is about an inch ofmoisture around the edgeof many of their windows.What causes that, andshould the windows bereplaced?

A: Excessive indoorhumidity comes in

contact with the coldglass, and the inside edgesof the window fog up. Ithappens to the Paladian-style window in our mas-ter bedroom when I show-er too long on a coldmorning and don’t turn onthe exhaust fan in thebathroom. The other day Inoticed that there were

water droplets on theplants that sit in front ofthat window because of it.

Your kinfolk need tofind ways to reduce theindoor moisture and getthe air circulating — with adehumidifier or ceiling fanor exhaust fan. I doubtthat window replacementis necessary, since thePaladian is “low-e’’ andthat fact in itself doesn’tstop the window fromfogging up.

Somewhere I read thatyou reduce the chance offogging if you clean thewindows with rubbingalcohol. I’ve never doneso, but your son anddaughter-in-law mightgive it a try.

If fogging indicatesexcessive indoor moisturelevels, there is the dangerof mold and mildew pres-ent. That could be theproblem that needsaddressing.

What causes moisture onwindow’s inside edge?

A recent grad develops herfirst place as dream place

Heloise McKee’s tips for devel-oping your style:

1. LLooookk through magazines(even older ones) and tearout pages that appeal to you.This can help you figure outwhat you want to do in yournew place.

2. DDeecciiddee on the big pieces offurniture you really want.Start there and the rest of thefurniture will fall into place.

3. BBrroowwssee through really niceshops, even if you can’tafford the prices. They aregreat places to get ideas andinspiration.

4. FFiinndd a person who has tastesimilar to yours and discusswhat you want in your newplace. It is great to bounceideas off of each other andget another person’s per-spective on your space.

5. DDoonn’’tt think you have to buyeverything at once. It’salways fun to look and torearrange furniture andaccessories when you buysomething new.

More ideas from CatharineRoberts:

1. FFiirrsstt, decide your budget.2. BBuuyy the most importantpieces first: a bed, a sofa orsomething else to sit on, adining table, lighting. Makesure you’re happy with whatyou are buying.

3. BBuuyy one or two good pieces,the best you can afford (onenice piece can elevate theless expensive pieces aroundit). Fill the rest of the spacewith items that your family orfriends may no longer want.

4. SShhoopp auctions, flea mar-kets, consignment shops,even your grandparents’attic. These are good placesto find occasional tables, art-work and unusual largeframes that a mirror can becut and placed into.

5. RReemmeemmbbeerr: A coat of paintor stain can transform anotherwise uninterestingpiece.

QQ:: I have several pieces ofwhite wicker furniture

that need some kind of repair.Many of the legs are unravel-ing. What can I do to fix thelegs?

AA::Wicker can be madefrom a variety of mate-

rials, but I assume your furni-ture is made of rattan. That’swhat most people refer to aswicker.

Janet Noall, who repairswicker furniture in CuyahogaFalls, Ohio, said you can buyrattan from any rattan suppli-er and rewrap the legs. Afteryou’ve removed the old rattanstrips and soaked the new rat-tan in water for about 15 min-utes, just use a little all-pur-pose glue such as Elmer’sGlue-All to secure one end ofthe rattan, wrap the leg andsecure the other end with alittle more glue. Prime and

paint the new rattan to match.Noall suggests using 5/32-

inch-wide binder cane.If this is antique wicker,you

might want to have a professional make the repairs,Noall said. She recommendschecking the directory ofrepair experts onWickerwoman.com.

Now that you’ve estab-lished a productive veg-etable garden, how aboutgrowing some pancakes,pasta and home-bakedbreads on the side?

Plant whole grains —cheap, low-maintenancegrasses that produce edibleseeds you can cook up raw(as you would rice), grindinto flour, make into brews,or add fresh to salads andcasseroles. Grains demon-strate that you don’t needblooms to beautify smallspaces. Think amber wavesof grain, or patches of waist-high ornamental grassswaying gracefully in thewind.

Add thrift to the equation,too, because a little goes along way.

“A 1,000-square-footplot planted with 2 3/4pounds of barley seed willyield one bushel of barley,’’says Sara Pitzer, author ofthe updated “HomegrownWhole Grains: Grow,Harvest & Cook WheatBarley, Oats, Rice, Corn &More’’ (Storey Publishing,2009).

“If one bushel doesn’tsound like much, considerthat one cup of raw barleycooks up to generously servesix people, and that mostsoup recipes — even onesmaking big pots of soup —call for only 1/3 cup of rawbarley.’’

Grains also serve as nutri-tious recipe fillers, replacingpricier ingredients in a meatloaf or stew. “Put aside whatyou can’t eat for plantingthe next year,’’ Pitzer advis-es.

Whole grains usually rec-ommended for home gar-

dens include barley, buck-wheat, corn, millet, oats,rice, rye, wheat and ama-ranth. Decide which grainsor cereals you want to growbased on flavor, ease of har-vest, hardiness and appear-ance.

Here’s a Pitzer-providedprimer to help get you start-ed:

•• BBaarrlleeyy:: Matures fasterand tolerates drought betterthan wheat. A fiber-richplant known to reduce cho-lesterol and blood glucoselevels. Frequently used forbrewing.

•• BBuucckkwwhheeaatt:: Broadleafplant with a strong flavorthat often is milled into flourfor pancakes.

•• CCoorrnn:: One of the easiestcrops to grow. It can be eatenfresh, ground into cornmealor popped into tender, bite-size puffs.

•• MMiilllleett:: Tasty whenserved like rice or added to

foods for its crunch. Loadedwith protein, B vitamins andminerals.

•• OOaattss:: Germinates quick-ly but difficult to harvestunless you go with hull-lessvarieties. Recommended foreverything from biscuits tooatmeal.

•• RRiiccee:: Challenging togrow, but has limitlessapplications in recipes.

•• RRyyee:: An assertive tastein flour and food. Extremelyhardy. Has no hull, making iteasy to harvest. Crafters findmany uses for its longstems, or straw.

•• WWhheeaatt:: Easily managedin gardens, and a recipeessential for everythingfrom pastas to cakes.

•• AAmmaarraanntthh:: A tall,broadleaf plant that formsfeathery plumes. The leavescan be cooked and eaten likespinach, while the grainshave a peppery taste and are rich in protein and

other nutrients.Grains, like most other

grasses, are simple to grow.“They’re more adapted to

dry land conditions. Youdon’t have to irrigate asmuch,’’ said Bob VanVeldhuizen, a research tech-nician with the University ofAlaska Fairbanks School ofNatural Resources andAgricultural Sciences.“They also don’t require asmany nutrients as thingslike tomatoes.’’

Van Veldhuizen hasworked primarily on hull-less varieties. “They’re ofmore interest to hobby gar-deners,’’ he said. “You don’tneed a home threshingmachine.’’

Most grains are veryhardy, thriving in USDAZones 3 to 8 and beyond,said Dan Jason, a seedsmanfrom Salt Spring Island,British Columbia.

“They’re fast growing —90 to 100 days to maturity,’’Jason said. “They’re notkilled by frosts. You can sewsome grains in Septemberand harvest them in June,freeing the garden foranother crop.”

Plenty of houses are old.Not all of them aretired.There is a difference. Awell-kept, mindfully updat-ed old home is a gem, where-as a neglected home canstart to look shabby within afew years of construction. Ifyou are trying to sell a victimof casual neglect, the result-ing frumpiness will damageyour sales price and canmake it languish on the mar-ket. If you have no intentionto sell, keeping your sur-roundings fresh and up-to-date offers its own reward.

We asked some pros —home inspectors, designersand stagers, whose worktakes them behind the cur-tains of a lot of homes — totell us about the commonsigns of age and neglect thatthey encounter, along withsome tips for updates.

•• GGrreeeenneerryy is good — butnot growing on the roof,bricks or siding. “Folks needto take care of the outside ofa home before they take careof the inside,’’ said Tim Bills,owner of Sentry HomeInspections. That includestrimming tree branchesaway from the house.

“If a tree overhangs theroof, it does not allow thesun to dry out the roofingmaterials,’’ he said. “It canallow lichen growth, andthose can deteriorate theshingles.’’ He recommendsleaving existing lichen alone,as trying to remove it with ascraper or pressure washerwill damage the shingles.

Heavy shade can also fos-ter growth of mold andmildew on siding and bricks.Usually the stains can bewashed off vinyl or alu-minum siding, but it’s moreof a problem with woodensurfaces, which can decay,Bills said.

•• IIvvyy ggrroowwiinngg up the wallsmay offer a pleasantCotswold cottage effect, butit can speed decay. “Englishivy is an invasive species; itdoes damage the mortar onmasonry, and it will damagescreens,’’ Bills said. Evenafter you’ve ripped it off thewalls, it can be tough to getrid of the mud-coloredtracks left by the vine’srootlets. “It will damageeven wood,’’ Bills said.

•• AA sspplliitt storm door, witha solid panel (usually whitealuminum) at the bottomand a glass window or screenat top, dates a home terribly,according to Debbie Wiener,owner of DesigningSolutions, an interior-design firm in Silver Spring,Md. “Everybody wants afull-view storm door — andone that’s color-matched tothe house,’’ she said.

•• HHeeaavvyy,, llaayyeerreedd windowtreatments (a shade coveredby sheers covered bydraperies, topped off by avalance) drag a home intofrumpy territory. “Every-body lightens up now,’’ saidWiener. If you don’t have thecash to replace them withsomething lighter (such as asimple pair of contemporarydrapery panels), she recom-mends cutting back on thelayers. “For God’s sake, takethem off; you don’t needthem,’’ she said. And ifyou’re trying to sell thehouse, she suggests lettingyour windows go as bare asprivacy allows, so the houselooks bright and airy.

•• SSkkiinnnnyy mmoollddiinngg arounddoors and windows (espe-cially the 1960s and ’70sstaple, clamshell molding) isanother feature ripe forupdating. Replace it with asignificantly larger, heavierversion, said Wiener. Stylesnow call for larger crown andbase moldings as well.“Adding moulding is likeadding whipped cream on

In the past few years,more and more peoplehave gotten into homegardening, particularlyproduce like fruits andvegetables. Don’t expectmany of those beds to beconverted back into flow-ers or lawn anytime soon,say area gardeningexperts.

“In hard economictimes, people go back tothe basics, and grow-your-own food is part ofthat,” said Mario DeHaro-Marti, University ofIdaho’s Gooding exten-sion educator. “You cansave a lot of money, andyou know what you areeating.”

He said gardeners whohave been at it for a fewyears are increasinglylooking for ways to share

their goods, whether thatmeans selling at farmersmarkets or preserving forhome use or sale to thepublic.

“People are doing craftsand canning, they’re stay-ing at home keepingthings a little closer” andspending time with fami-ly, said JoAnn Robbins, Uof I Jerome extension edu-cator. “It’s cheap, andonce you have the jars andthe rings all you need todo is replace the lids.”

She predicts that nospecific plants will betrendy in 2011, althoughcustomers appear to sup-port the industry’s movestoward sustainable land-scape techniques and lesstoxic chemicals and fertil-izers.

Alfalfa growers await Roundup Ready decisionBy Cindy SnyderTimes-News correspondent

It’s taken three years but alfalfagrowers are nearing a decision onwhether they’ll be allowed to plantRoundup Ready alfalfa again. Sugarbeet growers, who are also involvedin a Roundup Ready lawsuit of theirown, are watching the case closely.

Growers planted the geneticallymodified forage crop for about ninemonths during the time periodbetween when the U.S.Department of Agriculture deregu-lated the crop and when a coalitionof environmental groups andorganic seed growers sued to blockfurther seeding.In February 2007,afederal district court re-regulatedthe crop and ordered USDA tocomplete a full environmentalimpact statement.

Initially growers hoped USDAwould complete the environmentalstudy within a year, but it’s takennearly three. In the meantime,

alfalfa growers and seed companiesappealed the lower court’s decisionto re-regulate the technology allthe way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Courtoverturned a lower court’s orderthat has prohibited farmers fromplanting Roundup Ready alfalfawhile the USDA’s Animal and PlantHealth Inspection Service (APHIS)completed a full environmentalimpact statement.

The opinion of the court, writtenby Justice Samuel Alito, states thatthe district court had abused itsdiscretion when it banned theplanting of Roundup Ready alfalfaseed in 2007. The decision meansthat APHIS will determine whatinterim measures will be needed to

allow growers to plant the geneti-cally modified seed until the finalEIS is completed later this year.

Earlier this week the final draftEIS for genetically modified alfalfawas posted to the Federal Register.A 30-day public comment periodwill follow before a final decision ismade.

The draft EIS gives USDA threeoptions for Roundup Ready alfalfa.The agency’s two preferred optionsare to either completely deregulatethe crop and allow it to be plantedanywhere or to impose geographicrestrictions and isolation require-ments limiting where the crop canbe grown. The third option is tocontinue the ban on the crop.

Agriculture Secretary TomVilsak has said the agency willchoose one of the two preferredoptions, but plaintiffs are still hop-ing for a continued ban.

Idaho hay growers are taking await-and-see approach to the finaldraft EIS.

That’s because Idaho, along withother western states, could seeRoundup Ready alfalfa acresstrictly regulated under the so-called deregulated yet regulatedscenario. One requirement is a fivemile separation between the fieldsproducing genetically modifiedseed and conventional alfalfa. Thatis much greater than the 900 feetof separation currently required bythe Idaho Crop ImprovementAssociation.

Eighty-five percent of the 80 million pounds of alfalfa seedproduced in the U.S. each yearcome from California, Idaho,Oregon, Washington and Nevada.

Glenn Shewmaker, University ofIdaho extension forage specialist,said that level of separation andhow it will be regulated is a con-cern. He believes bona fide seedcompanies working with bona fidegrowers should have no problemwith compliance but there can beunknown growers raising seed.

Growers who had plantedRoundup Ready alfalfa seed beforethe February 2007 decision wereallowed to leave the stands in buthad to meet certain requirementsfor selling the hay. Those growershave appreciated the ease of man-agement that the technology hasprovided them and are likely toplant more, should the seedbecome available in 2011,Shewmaker said.

Although conventional herbi-cides are widely available for alfalfa,those herbicides are only effectivewhen applied at certain plantgrowth stages. Roundup gives awider application window,Shewmaker said.

When the Ninth Circuit Courtof Appeals agreed to hear the con-solidated Roundup Ready sugarbeet appeals, the court orderedboth parties to specifically addressthe relevance of the SupremeCourt’s alfalfa decision to sugarbeets.

Another tough year

By Cindy SnyderTimes-News correspondent

TWIN FALLS — Dairy pro-ducers who had hoped the mar-kets had turned back towardsprofitability are dismayed tofind themselves facing anotherfive to six months of weakprices. Even more troubling isthat financing may be runningout for some.

It is apparent that decentprices for much of 2010 werenot enough to repair the holes inmany dairy balance sheets after2009. The industry will contin-ue to hurt with the combinationof weak milk prices through thefirst half of 2011 and high feedcosts.

Futures contracts throughthe first quarter of 2011 havefallen to an average of $13.24 perhundredweight. Meanwhile,futures corn contracts are above$6 per bushel which translatesinto about $250 per ton for corn.

The industry has alreadygone through two dismal years.Producers watched what manycalled “great” milk prices in2008 fall abruptly as the worldeconomy tanked and demandfor dairy products evaporated.Almost overnight, producerswent from making money tolosing $5 to $6 per hundred-weight on the milk they wereproducing. In Idaho alone, anestimated $550 million of pro-ducer equity was lost in 2009.

After a year of watchingdairies bleed red ink, WellsFargo abruptly devalued thecow and feed inventories of itsdairy clients in Idaho. Only afew small dairies are handled bythe Wells Fargo in Twin Falls,and none of those loans areconsidered troubled, said JerryOlson, manager of the WellsFargo South Central IdahoBusiness Center. All of the largedairy clients are handled by theDairy Center in Tulare, Calif.,and he could not comment onthose clients.

Cow values were immediate-ly dropped by $100 per cow.Dairies report their feed inven-tory by purchase price, but thebank recalculated all existinginventory to current marketprices.

Suddenly hay that had beenpurchased at $200 or $250 perton and put into inventory atthat value was only worth $150per ton.

Not only did that lower theborrowing base for the dairies,but it also lowered the loan-to-

value ratios for both cow andfeed lines of credit. With thedevaluation, producers weresuddenly thrown out of com-pliance with their loan agree-ments and roughly half thecows in Idaho were consideredto be in “unacceptable terms”with their lender.

Wells Fargo had required a 75 percent loan-to-value forcows and 100 percent for feed,but that was also changed to 65percent for both cow and feedloans. That means dairies haveto come up with 35 percent cashto buy cows or feed.

The move could force somedairies into foreclosure.

Wells Fargo is not the onlydairy lender that has changedits lending requirements, butother lenders have implement-ed the changes more graduallyand given dairies a chance tobuild capital to meet the newloan-to-value ratios.

Losses had been so great dur-ing 2009 that it really wasn’t asurprise to see lenders tightentheir standards, but it caughtmany producers off guard.

“Wells Fargo had chased thedairy industry in Idaho for adecade. They had been thedairymen’s best friend,” saidRick Naerebout, who runs adairy management business.

“It’s the surprise of them

turning their back on the indus-try during its worst financialstruggles since the GreatDepression that dairymen did-n’t expect.

“What is most frustrating fordairymen is the feeling thatWells Fargo was shown patienceand understanding during theirfinancial crisis and were recipi-ents of TARP funds to helpthem through, and in returnthey have shown very littlepatience and understanding totheir own clients. Dairymen arenot looking for a handout, justtime and patience to allow mar-kets to normalize. Ironically,putting them much in the sameposition as Wells Fargo andpaying back their borrowedTARP funds….”

Wells Fargo was the largestagricultural business lender intotal dollar volume in 2009with $9.4 billion in agriculturalloans extended.

Olson said Wells Fargo con-siders the future of agriculturein the Magic Valley to be bright,especially for row crops in thecoming year. “Going forward,we see agriculture as a place wewant to be,” he said.

If a dairy loses its source ofcredit now, it will be very diffi-cult for them to find a newlender. That’s one of AdrianBoer’s concerns. Another is that

all dairy loans will be held tomore stringent standards goingforward. The Jerome dairy pro-ducer is not a Wells Fargo clientbut has been critical of how thebank has handled the dairy cri-sis.

During a farm bill hearing lastMay he told House AgCommittee members that hefelt Wells Fargo had acted pre-maturely when it re-valued cowand feed inventories. It’s astatement he still standsbehind.

“No one really foresaw whatwas going to happen,” Boer said.

Nor did anyone expect dairyprices to head back down inearly 2011. Forecasts put milkprices at $1.50 to $2 per cwt.below cost of productionthrough spring.

Naerebout says it’s going totake both less supply andgreater demand to return theindustry to long-term prof-itability.

Dairies seem to be respond-ing by cutting inventory. Cownumbers decreased in Augustthen held steady throughSeptember and October, butnational slaughter numbers forthe first week of December werethe highest figure since thesummer of 2009.

However, the U.S.Department of Agriculture,estimates national milk pro-duction at 15.470 billionpounds, up 2.7 percent from ayear ago. That puts 2010 pro-duction on track to finish about1.7 percent higher after declin-ing 0.1 percent last year.

Dairy plans toinstall methanedigester in FilerTimes-News

One of Idaho’s largest dairies plans to addan anaerobic digester to its operations.

Rock Creek Dairy in Filer, which is ownedand operated by Bettencourt Dairies LLC,plans to use the digester to convert manureinto renewable energy, reduce greenhousegases and improve efficiency, according to apress release.

The project would handle waste from mul-tiple sites in a community dairy model,bringing it all to the centrally locateddigester, the release states.

“Converting waste into energy minimizesour environmental impact and provides aconsistent source of renewable energy thatcan be distributed to our surrounding com-munities,” said Rick Onaindia, Bettencourtchief financial officer. “The true value of thisproject is its ability to serve as a model for theIdaho dairy industry for long-term sustain-ability, both from an environmental andbusiness perspective.”

New Energy One LLC is leading efforts tobuild, maintain and manage the digester, andpursuing final approval of the plan with theTwin Falls County Planning and ZoningCommission in the coming months.

The project has received Idaho PublicUtilities Commission approval, and NewEnergy One expects to eventually deliverenough electricity to Idaho Power to power1,000 homes.

“As a local company we believe that aviable, sustainable, globally competitivedairy industry brings tremendous benefits toour community,” said Jay Kesting, managerof New Energy One. “This project willemploy both new and existing technologiesto reduce the dairy’s carbon footprint, whilecreating operational efficiencies thatenhance its competitiveness.”

It is apparent that decent prices for much of 2010 were not enough to repair the holes

in many dairy balance sheets after 2009.

Lack of moisturethreatens winter wheatcrop in N. ColoradoBy Sharon DunnGreeley Tribune, Colo.

Farmers are survivors.That's why many will shrug off this year's

bad start to the winter wheat crop, still rest-ing on the little bits of hope for moisture theykeep alive.

“Now, it's probably the worst we've seen in30 years,”said Jim Cooksey of Cooksey Farmssoutheast of Roggen, Colo.

Four months of little to no moisture is tak-ing its toll on the crop, which blankets fieldsacross northern Colorado. That means hopesfor even an average harvest next summer arestarting to dwindle.

The Cooksey family's 3,600 acres of winterwheat so far are patchy at best. By now, thewinter wheat crop should be up a good 3-4inches heading into its winter dormancy,Cooksey said.

While hardy, winter wheat depends onmoisture, which should be kick-started inthe fall. Subsoil moisture is a good 6 inchesbelow the surface. Without moisture tobridge that gap, the crop struggles.

“We usually have at least one storm in fall,but that hasn't happened this year,” Cookseysaid.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks were littlechanged Monday as investors focused onstrong holiday shopping results and lookedpast an interest rate hike in China.Many traders stayed home because of the

snow, but the absence of selling points togrowing confidence about the U.S. economy.Data from MasterCard Advisors'SpendingPulse survey estimates that U.S.retail sales between Nov. 5 and Dec. 24 rose5.5 percent from last year. Wall Street is antic-ipating that today’s consumer confidenceindex for December will reflect this optimism.Also expected today is the widely-watched

S&P/Case-Shiller house price index forOctober, which may not capture the exu-berance seen in other more recent eco-nomic indicators.The Dow Jones industrial average ended

the day down 18.46 points, or 0.2 percent,to 11,555.03. The Standard and Poor's 500index gained 0.8, or less than 0.1 percent,to 1,257.54. The Nasdaq composite indexrose 1.7 points, also less than 0.1 percent, to2,667.27. Monday's trading was particularlylight after a massive blizzard swept theNortheast, disrupting commutes for manypeople in New York's financial industry.

”“A:

IF DECEMBER 28 ISYOUUR BIRTHDAY: Expectsmooth sailing in the year tocome and a chance to comeface to face with your deep-est ambitions and mostwell-hidden motivations.You have more than yourfair share of energy inFebruary when you cancompete successfully in thecareer arena, but a tendencyto trust to luck or a lack offoresight could be a prob-lem. Anything of greatimportance should wait tobe launched in June andJuly. People will be more aptto grant favors or offer ahelping hand in July and youcan ascend to a higherplateau in the materialworld. In September andOctober, you can expressyour individuality in uniqueways and may receive pub-licity or applause for yourleadership abilities and per-sistence.

ARIES (March 21-April19): Hands up. If you don’tfulfill your responsibilities,you might be subjected to acitizens arrest. You could betempted to be careless ortrust to luck when cautionand respect for the rules isneeded.

TAURUS (April 20-May20): Put business beforepleasure. Puritanical workethics added to some streetsmarts are tools that can giveyou the edge over the com-petition. The more effortput into your work now, themore time for fun later.

GEMINI (May 21-June20): Reschedule intimatedinners for two for anothertime. Romance could take aback seat to industry today.This is the time to make sureyou have all your ducks in adandy row and all deadlinesbeaten.

CCANCER (June 21-July22): Don’t pout and mopeover social slights or minorsocial injustices. Put somemuscle into your work andburn off extra calories. Thepath of true love is neversmooth, but could hit a briefroadblock.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Alack of sincerity is in the air.Someone may throw you acurve ball that leads youinto left field. You may haveheard the expression thatyou can trust someone“only as far as you canthrow them.“

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22): Find your way through amaze of mystery. Settlingpast obligations mayrequire resourcefulness.Keep dreams alive by shar-ing them with others even ifthe time isn’t ripe to putthem into action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-OOct. 22):Tackle practical matterswith pragmatism. Holidayfestivities and family out-ings may have turned into achore rather than a joy.Handle social obligations,but don’t add more choresto your calendar.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): If you spare the rod youmay spoil your inner child.Whip yourself into a frenzyof activity and get necessarytasks completed before theend of the year. You willhave more time for fun oncework is done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Plan your work andwork your plan. Financialself-discipline is necessaryto get you through the nextseveral days. By next week,you will be able to spendyour hard earned cash onsomething nicer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.. 19): Shift gears. Peoplewant to see results, not hearabout your fabulous holidayexperiences. Don’t let frus-trations, misunderstand-ings or temporary resent-ment prevent you fromdoing your best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Self-discipline andattention to nit-pickydetails will whip a pile oftasks into apple pie order.Fantasize on your own time,quietly behind the scenes.You may find a congenialplaymate in the New Year.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Work hard and you caneasily create guilt-free timeso you can play hard. Ifromance rules your heartyou will find ample oppor-tunity to express tenderfeelings after you havepunched the time clock.

tRANSPORTATION

DEAR ABBY: I amresponding to “Single Stillin Little Rock” (Nov. 6), the34-year-old woman who isanxious about whethershe’ll ever marry. I marriedfor the first time at 67. Afterretiring from a 45-yearcareer in nursing, I met awonderful, caring andinteresting man who hadlost his first wife years earli-er. Neither “Sam” nor I waslooking for a spouse at thetime. (Truthfully, I hadgiven up.) We were intro-duced by a mutual friend atchurch and soon knew wewere meant to be together.

My advice to “Single” isto continue living a full andproductive life, remain opento making new friends, lookfor a man who had a happyfirst marriage and don’t givein to your anxieties. Myhusband and I know ourtime together is limited. Westrive to make the most ofevery day, overlooking smalland unimportant differ-ences, and focusing onmaking each other happy. Iam an integral part of Sam’sfamily, including his sonsand their offspring. It’s awonderful life, and I’mgrateful I was able to enduresome loneliness when I wasyounger for all that I havenow.

ROSE IN TUCSON

DEAR ROSE: Your letteris inspiring. “Single Still”requested that I ask readersfor their success stories infinding love “later in life,”and true to form youresponded in huge num-bers. Bless you all!

ead on:DEAR ABBY: For many

years I desperately wantedto be married. Therefore, Imeasured everyone whoasked me out as a possiblehusband and either scaredthem away or allowedmyself to be used. Finally,after living in a number oflarge cities, my careermoved me to a tiny ruraltown. By then I had losthope of finding Mr. Right,so I quit looking.

Best thing I ever did! Ilearned to enjoy life for whatit offered each day, not pinefor a mate. I found myselfenjoying friendships withmen because I saw them asfriends, not potential hus-bands. Out of the blue,some pals arranged a blinddate with “the only eligiblebachelor” left in town. Wewere married less than sixmonths later — at ages 34and 38 — and just celebratedour 21st anniversary.

LOVING MY LIFE IN MINNESOTA

DDEAR ABBY: I considermy “failed” relationshipsopportunities to learnsomething. The main lessonis I must love who I am firstand be less concerned aboutwhere a relationship isgoing. When you’re happy,pursuing your own interestsand developing yourself as aperson, someone with asimilar perspective willcome along. Instead ofbemoaning my single sta-tus, I’m on Internet datingsites — a great platform formeeting people who sharemy interests.

SONDRA IN TENNESSEE

DEAR ABBY: I held off onmarrying until my careerwas stable. My wife and Imarried when we were 35.For years we have traveledwithout worrying aboutbaby sitters or being homeby a certain time. We haveformed friendships withother childless couples andshare “family” holidays. Wedote on our nieces andnephews. If “Single” stillwants children and is con-cerned about the healthaspects of pregnancy at anolder age, adoption is avail-able.

MARRIED MAN IN TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: At age 30,with the help of a therapist,I realized I was approachingthis thing all wrong. Insteadof dating men who werelooking at me, I was runningafter every gorgeous guy Isaw. It didn’t work, so Istopped chasing and letmyself be chased. I wasmarried in five years. Loveisn’t always “at first sight.”

Putting the Goodin Gooding

By Ryan HoweTimes-News writer

GOODING — Whatever CameronAndersen is selling, the GoodingHigh student athletes are buying it.

Since he took over a lowly footballprogram two years ago, the Senatorshave made a turnaround. NowAndersen is trying to duplicate thatsuccess on the basketball court,where he’s taken over this season.

There’s no secret formula ormagic wand. Andersen says the keyto success is as basic as a form tack-le or a bounce pass.

“My philosophy in basketball isthe same as it is in football. We treatour sport like it’s a job,” he said. “Wework hard and we preach funda-mentals. Once kids buy into workinghard and doing the fundamentalsright, you’re going to find success.”

In 2009, Andersen took over aGooding football program that had a1-15 record in its previous two sea-sons. The Senators were 2-6 inAndersen’s first year, and then priorto the 2010 season, Gooding waspicked to finish last in the CanyonConference by both the Times-News and a coaches’ poll.

“Of course we noticed it,” saidsenior all-conference linemanTanner Baumann, who is also on thebasketball team. “We came into theseason knowing that the odds werestacked against us. Right off the batwe just threw all that stuff out andsaid, ‘We’re not what they think weare.’ We did our best to prove thatthere’s more to us than just losing.”

ATLANTA — After tossing uptwo throws in the fourth quarterthat he wishes never left hishand, Drew Brees connected onthe one that really counted forthe New Orleans Saints.

Brees shook off a pair of inter-ceptions in the final period,hooking up with rookie JimmyGraham on a 6-yard touchdownwith 3:24 remaining to give NewOrleans a 17-14 victory over theAtlanta on Monday night. Breesand the Saints denied the Falconsfrom clinching the NFC Southtitle and home-field advantage inthe playoffs.

And Who Dat going back to theplayoffs? That would be theSaints, who showed they aren’tready to give up their Super Bowltitle with a win that should give

them a huge boost of confidenceheading into the postseason.

The Falcons (12-3), meanwhile,might be having some doubtsafter their eight-game winningstreak was snapped at theGeorgia Dome, where they havebeen virtually unbeatable in MikeSmith’s three years as coach.

Still, the loss doesn’t ruinAtlanta’s two main goals. TheFalcons can still wrap up theirfirst division crown since 2004and home field through the NFCplayoffs by knocking off two-winCarolina at home in the finalweek of the season.

But this one stung, especiallysince there’s a real possibilitythese teams will meet again in theplayoffs.

Brees completed six straightpasses on a 13-play, 90-yarddrive, the last one to the rookietight end for the winning score.

That made up for Brees’ ill-advised attempt to flip a back-handed pass to escape heavypressure, but instead the throwwas picked off by ChaunceyDavis and returned 26 yards for atouchdown in the openingminute of the fourth — givingthe Falcons their first lead allnight.

It didn’t last, even after Breeswas picked off again on a brilliantplay by defensive end JohnAbraham, who batted the ballhigh in the air then grabbed ithimself.

The Saints held the Falconsjust past midfield, then got theball back at their own 10.The firsttwo plays lost a yard, but Breesconnected with Lance Moore onan 18-yard pass to keep the drivegoing.

SHREVEPORT, La. —The Independence Bowlfeatured the two best run-ning teams in the nation,and special teams provedto be the unlikely differ-ence.

Air Force cashed inwhen Georgia Techmuffed a punt in the sec-ond half, getting a go-ahead touchdown runfrom Jared Tew in a 14-7victory Monday.

Backup kicker Zack Bell

converted the first twofield-goal attempts of hiscareer before Tew’s 3-yardrun gave the Falcons (9-4)the lead for good. AirForce’s only touchdowncame four plays afterDaniel McKayhan’s sec-ond muffed punt of thegame.

Georgia Tech’s 327 yardsrushing per game this sea-son edged Air Force’s 317.9average for the nation’stop spot. Both teams use aheavy dose of option,which often catchesopponents off guardbecause it’s a relatively

rare offense.But with each defense

familiar with the scheme,there were no surprises,and both teams were heldunder their season rushingaverage — Georgia Techwith 279 and Air Forcewith 170.

Air Force’s TimJefferson completed 11 of23 passes for 117 yards.Bell’s field goals camefrom 41 and 42 yards.

Vikings,Eagles wait around to play postponed gameBy Rob MaaddiAssociated Press writer

PHILADELPHIA — Whilethe Minnesota Vikings atecheesesteaks and acted liketourists, the PhiladelphiaEagles savored a divisiontitle they clinched from theircouches.

Both teams had to waitanother day to play the firstNFL game on a Tuesday in64 years.

The Vikings-Eagles gamewas switched from Sundaynight to tonight because of awinter storm before anysnow had even accumulated.About a foot of snow fell onPhiladelphia, though lessthan 5 inches was on theground before the scheduled

kickoff at 6:20 p.m. MST. Itwas originally scheduled for11 a.m. on Sunday, but wasshifted because of the NFL’sflex scheduling.

By Monday morning,it wasbright and sunny at LincolnFinancial Field. But the leaguehad already postponed thegame because of the uncer-tainty of the forecast.

On Monday, the Eaglesheld their typical walk-through a day before a game,

then checked into a teamhotel. The Vikings took thefield first for a workout at theEagles’ practice facility andreturned to their downtownhotel.

Many players thought thegame should have been playedSunday night. So didPennsylvania Gov.Ed Rendell,who said Vince Lombardiwould be “mocking us” forthe postponement.

“The roads are bad for

East Coast standards,”Vikings tight end VisantheShiancoe said. “But if thiswas in the Midwest therewould be no way that thiswould be delayed. No way itwould be delayed in theMidwest. No way. ... It’ssomething that baffles me.But I’m not here to makedecisions on when games areplayed.”

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (80)reacts after his touchdown reception in the fourthquarter against the Atlanta Falcons in an NFL footballgame at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Monday.

Brees leads Saints back to playoffs

The Vikings (5-9) aregetting used to this. Theirprevious two games alsowere affected by the weath-er. Their home gameagainst the Giants on Dec.12 was postponed a dayafter Minneapolis got 15inches of snow. It was thenmoved to Detroit when theMetrodome roof collapsed.

Their game againstChicago last week wasplayed at the University ofMinnesota’s outdoor stadi-um because of the damagedroof.

“There aren’t very many,if any, that have experi-enced what we’ve experi-enced, or at the level that

we’ve experienced it,”Vikings interim coachLeslie Frazier said. “Ordealing with some of theinjuries; some situationswe’ve had to face duringthis period. But I know forme, I’ve learned a lotthrough it. Things I thinkwill help me in the future. Ithink we’ll look back at itone day and say: ‘That’s oneof the reasons we’re playingas well or doing as well as anorganization as we are nowbecause of that experiencein 2010.”‘

This will bePhiladelphia’s sixth prime-time game this season. TheEagles (10-4) are 5-0 underthe lights.

added 91 as Georgia Techoutgained Air Force 320-287. But the Yellow Jacketscommitted four turnovers— including three fum-bles.

Georgia Tech (6-7) cameinto the game hobbled byinjuries, academic casual-ties and misbehavior.

Joshua Nesbitt, theACC’s career leading rusherfor a quarterback, missedthe game because of a bro-

ken right arm. Top receiverStephen Hill and startingsafety Mario Edwards wereamong four playersdeclared ineligible becauseof various academic issues.

On Sunday, the YellowJackets announced thatthree players — includingdefensive end AnthonyEgbuniwe and defensivebacks Michael Peterson andLouis Young — would missthe first half because of acurfew violation.

Brees didn’t miss again,completing his next fivethrows to drive the Saintsdown the field. On third-and-3 at the 6, he flicked aquick pass to Grahamslanting over the middle.He got a step on WilliamMoore and Brees deliveredthe ball just out of the reachof Sean Weatherspoon forthe touchdown.

Matt Ryan broke off acareer-long 20-yard run,but the Saints held at the 43and Atlanta chose to punt.Brees never gave them theball back, completing twomore passes before PierreThomas dove over for agame-clinching first downon third and inches.

The Falcons didn’t playtheir typically clean game.

An errant snap by ToddMcClure out of the shotgunwas recovered by NewOrleans, setting upThomas’ 2-yard touch-down run that gave theSaints a 10-0 lead andbreaking Atlanta’s streak ofseven straight games with-out a fumble.

Ryan connected withRoddy White on a 7-yardtouchdown pass that madeit 10-7 at halftime, butAtlanta squandered anoth-er chance when MichaelTurner fumbled the ballaway on second-and-goalat the New Orleans 1. It wasTurner’s first fumble of theseason.

— except perhaps them-selves — by going 4-5, fin-ishing second in the CanyonConference and earning astate playoff berth.

The rebuilding projectisn’t finished, but Gooding’sfootball program took a stepin the right direction. It has-n’t been easy, as Andersenhas worked to change thementality and culture of theschool.

“It’s a whole new attitudearound our school,” said JonJensen, a football and bas-ketball player. “We’vebought into the summerprogram, worked hard atpractice, bought into whatcoach told us. He knowswhat he’s talking about.”

Andersen credits a coregroup of students for gettingthe ball rolling.

“We had to show results ina hurry. Luckily we hadabout 10 kids really buy inand change the looks of theirbodies and that changedresults on the field,”Andersen said. “Other kidssaw that and then everybodyelse bought into it.”

Andersen also asks hisathletes to “sell out” to theirteammates. During the foot-ball season, Andersen dis-missed five starters from theprogram for “not commit-ting to the team.”

“They were more intothemselves than the team,”Baumann said of the dis-missed players. “Some ofthem are my friends, but onthe football field or the bas-ketball court, it’s different. Iwant the players out therewho want the best for theteam, not just the best forthemselves.At the end of theseason,everyone who was onthe team had decided theywanted to win, they wantedto turn things around.”

Gooding’s football successwas a product of focusing onthe fundamentals. TheSenators weren’t fancy, theyjust came with 100-percenteffort on every play.

This winter, Andersen is

applying that same funda-mental approach to a newchallenge: the Gooding boysbasketball team.

Just like the football pro-gram, Senator hoops is awork in progress. Goodinghas only one winning seasonin five years and went 6-56the previous three seasonsunder two different coaches.

So far this year Gooding is2-4. Not great, but goodconsidering the Senatorshave already matched theirwin total from the past twoseasons combined.

“Our motto is ‘New,’”Jensen said. “We have newattitudes, positive attitudes.Our practices are up-tempo.We’re doing everything new.(Andersen) deserves mostthe credit. If it weren’t forhim, we’d still be playing‘street ball’ and not payingattention to fundamentals.”

Dee Lewis, Declo’s headboys basketball coach andfootball offensive coordina-tor,says he’s noticed a differ-ence with the Senators, bothon the gridiron and hard-wood.

“There’s definitely atougher mentality,” Lewissaid. “I credit (Andersen) forbringing that. He’s done itwith their football team, andhe’s doing it with the basket-ball team. It might take awhile,but they have the skillsto do it.”

Just like football, Goodingis the Canyon Conferenceunderdog. But the Senatorshave upside and are buildinga sure foundation of pressureman-to-man defense,rebounding and minimizingmistakes and turnovers.

“If we get that base downfor a few weeks, then maybeby (district) tournamenttime our guys will have thosefundamentals pay off and wecan start to be competitive insome games,”Andersen said.

“I think if any coach usesthat philosophy he can doanything he wants in anykind of program. It will justtake time for those funda-mentals to sink in.”

PITTSBURGH — AshtonGibbs scored 21 points asPittsburgh’s balance over-came Kemba Walker’s one-man offense for No. 4Connecticut, and the No. 6Panthers easily won the BigEast’s first matchup of Top 10teams by 78-63 on Mondaynight.

Hawkeyes, Tigers looking for positive endingTEMPE, Ariz. — A neigh-

borly rematch 100 years inthe making will take placehalf a country away in thedesert.

Iowa and Missouri areplaying in the Insight Bowl atArizona State’s Sun DevilStadium on Tuesday,bringingtogether two former rivalsthat haven’t played each othersince 1910 despite being lessthan 250 miles apart.

Payback? It’s hard to evenremember what happened ithas been so long.

“It is kind of random andvery, very strange that we’renot playing a border statethat’s Big 8, now a Big 12member,” Iowa coach KirkFerentz said.

Neither team figured to endup here, and certainly notagainst each other.

Missouri (10-2) had itssights on a BCS game and aBig 12 championship waswithin its grasp. The Tigersfell just short, consecutivelosses to Nebraska and TexasTech knocking them out ofthe Bowl ChampionshipSeries and into a second-tiergame.

Disappointing? In a sense,but it’s hard to knock a sea-son that could end with 11wins, a school-record sixthstraight bowl appearance andin a warm-weather placewhile everyone back home isfreezing.

“This is a reward to yourplayers for a great season,”said Missouri coach GaryPinkel, who has led theTigers to bowl berths sevenof the past eight seasons. “SoI want them to appreciatethat and enjoy the greatthings Phoenix has to offerand hopefully play our bestgame.”

The Hawkeyes (7-5) arelooking to finish off a seasonthat started with so muchpromise and went awryunder a wave of injuries,missed opportunities and, of

late, suspensions.Iowa opened the season

ranked ninth, eyeing a BigTen championship and a sec-ond straight BCS bid. A roadloss to an Arizona team thatturned out to be mediocreput a dent in those chances,and a three-game losingstreak to end the seasonlanded the Hawkeyes in theInsight Bowl — not exactlywhere they had hoped to beat the start of the season.

“We need to stop thethree-game losing streak andhopefully get some momen-tum going into next season,”Iowa defensive lineman KarlKlug said. “We need a win.”

STEWART LOOKS TO KEEP WVUFOCUSED AGAINST NC STATE

ORLANDO, Fla. — All theemotions Bill Stewart hasreserved the last few weekswill be tough to control whenhe takes the field again asWest Virginia’s coach.

While he still has onemore season at the helm,part of his staff is being dis-mantled to make room forcoach-in-waiting DanaHolgorsen. That makes the

Champs Sports Bowl onTuesday night against NorthCarolina State the last timeStewart will be together withsome assistants.

“That’s a personal mat-ter,” he said, taking a deepbreath.“That is in my heart.”

The bowl game is the firsttest of how the slow coach-ing swap might effect theNo. 22 Mountaineers (9-3).Stewart is being forced out— just not until 2012 — withHolgorsen, OklahomaState’s offensive coordina-tor, taking over at the sameposition next year at WestVirginia.

As if that wasn’t enough,three players — includingstarting center Joe Madsen— won’t participate in thegame because they failed tomeet NCAA eligibilityrequirements.

“I don’t have any problemfocusing,” Stewart said. “Myjob as the CEO of this pro-gram is to make sure the staffand the players are focused. Ido not talk about distrac-tions.”

PITTSBURGH — The weather is becoming a worryfor the Winter Classic.

Rain showers and temperatures in the low 50s arebeing forecast for the Capitals-Penguins outdoorgame Saturday at Heinz Field, hardly the conditionsthe NHL wants for its midseason showcase featuringstars Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin.

While temperatures above freezing aren’t ideal,NHL ice chief Dan Craig said they wouldn’t necessar-ily affect a 2½-inch thick ice surface that is refriger-ated to a very low temperature — 22 degrees. Onlybright sunshine in conjunction with warming tem-peratures would soften the ice.

Rain is the major worry because it would unsafefor the players even if it falls only lightly. A light raincould freeze almost immediately after hitting theice, creating an uneven surface that could quicklybecome unplayable. A steadier rain is even worsebecause it might flood the surface.

Accuweather, based in State College, Pa., is call-ing for showers with a high of 50 degrees onSaturday — 14 degrees above the normal Jan. 1 highof 36 in Pittsburgh. The National Weather Service’sforecast is nearly identical, except with a high of 52.The Weather Channel is predicting temperatures inthe 40s and a chance of rain.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

FIU star Wittels charged with rapeNASSAU, Bahamas — The Florida International

baseball player with a record-setting 56-game hit-ting streak has been charged with rape in theBahamas, court officials in the islands’ capital saidMonday.

Garrett Wittels was accused of raping a 17-year-old teenage tourist on Dec. 20 while on a visit to thearchipelago east of Florida. The 20-year-old infielderended last season with the second-longest hitting

streak in NCAA Division I history, two behind the 58-game run by Oklahoma State’s Robin Ventura in1987.

Two of Wittels’ friends also face rape charges, offi-cials said.

Robert Rothschild, 21, of New York, was accusedof raping two 17-year-old girls, while JonathanOberti, 21, also of New York, was charged with rapingone, according to Bahamian court officials.

Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez granted Wittels andthe two others $10,000 bail at their Thursday arraign-

ment in Nassau. The U.S. suspects were not requiredto enter pleas and returned to the United States.
