Revitalization of Black Butte's Two Courses Complete
Central Oregon is known for its four-season outdoor activities, with skiing at Mount Bachelor a big draw in winter and golf the thing to do in spring, summer and early fall. Bend, Redmond and environs are cherished as a golfing Mecca, and for good reasons.

Boasting sunshine about 300 days a year - and, at lower elevations such as Redmond, year-round play, the golf courses here feature tremendous variety and usually immaculate conditioning.
I've been coming to this part of the Pacific Northwest for over four decades, whether through research for my book, "Golf Courses of the Pacific Northwest," or just to get out of the big, rainy city of Seattle and go to a place on "the other side of the mountains" for some dry weather and fun in the sun.
One of my favorite places to stay and play has always been Black Butte Ranch, a 36-hole resort on the east flank of the Cascades with a low-key ambiance and spectacular panoramas of nearby peaks, one of which is its namesake.

Developed in the early 1970s, the nearly 2,000-acre enclave occupies the former Corbett cattle ranch and lies about eight miles from the quaint Western-themed town of Sisters. Of the 1,251 well-established and expansive homes - all of which are secluded within dense pine forests and off narrow, twisting roads, 110 are used as vacation rentals.
In addition to golf, Black Butte residents and guests occupy themselves with sports such as tennis, trout fishing, swimming, horseback riding, biking, kayaking, paddle-boarding, bird-watching and hiking, with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter on its miles of paved paths. The Hoodoo Alpine Ski area and other "snow parks" are five miles from the Ranch. Just to the north is the Metolius River, which offers some of the West's best catch-and-release fly-fishing.
The first course here was Big Meadow, designed by the late Robert Muir Graves and opened in 1972. Glaze Meadow, designed by the legendary Gene C. "Bunny" Mason, a long-time Oregon golf pro and Black Butte's former director of golf, followed eight years later. (For more about Bunny, visit http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/a_legend_in_northwest_golf_passes.)
The 7th at Glaze Meadow (Photo by Aidan Bradley)
As with all courses approaching the 30-plus-year mark, renovations were needed for both "Big" and "Glaze." Over 2004-05, a master plan was begun for both layouts, with the primary focus being the replacement of their aging irrigation systems. Remarkably, the property owners - who also own the Ranch and its golf courses - approved the plan by a whopping 83 percent.
Big Meadow was first. Damian Pascuzzo, who worked with Graves (Graves passed away in 2003) and in 1991 became his partner, was hired to do that remodel. Work there, completed in 2008, focused on revamping the tees, bunkers, irrigation, cart paths and tree-thinning.
Following Big Meadow's renovation, Glaze Meadow gradually saw a decrease in play. "We were in a declining-rounds environment, all due to play on Glaze Meadow," observed Scott Huntsman, president and chief executive officer of Black Butte Ranch, during a presser in early June 2012.

"Even with increased competition in the area and even through the recession, rounds had grown at Big Meadow. But we were losing rounds pretty steadily (at Glaze Meadow) because it wasn't a comparable playing experience to what you could see at the Brasadas or Tetherows (Bend-area courses) or even Big Meadow," added Huntsman. "We were finding people coming in, playing Big Meadow once or twice, and then opting to go someplace else as opposed to playing Glaze."
Glaze's quirky opening hole - which had a blind tee shot over a steep hill to destinations unknown, along with many fairways that had become constricted by expanding forestry, turned off those who'd made a habit of staying at Black Butte and playing both courses.
So Portland native and current Arizona resident John Fought was hired to conduct a remodel that was considerably more extensive than what took place at Big Meadow. And what a reincarnation the former PGA Tour player and 1977 U.S. Amateur champion-turned-successful-golf architect has wrought.

In addition to his Oregon roots, Fought's bona fides were spot-on for the Black Butte job: With Robert Cupp, he co-designed both Pumpkin Ridge courses - site of several USGA championships - as well as The Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club near Portland, and Crosswater Club at Sunriver south of Bend. Fought solo designed The Gallery's North and South courses in Arizona; Sand Hollow Resort in Hurricane, Utah; Centennial Golf Club in Medford, Ore.; Trophy Lake Golf & Casting in Port Orchard, Wash.; Ridge Creek Golf Club in Dinuba, Calif.; and Windsong Farm - with Tom Lehman - in Minneapolis.
Equally impressive is his remodel work, highlighted by his restoration of the Donald Ross-designed Pine Needles in South Pines, N.C.; Dallas Country Club (originally crafted by Tom Bendelow); and another Ross gem, Rosedale Country Club in Toronto. (For more background on Fought, see Tony Dear's profile at http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/favorite_designers_john_fought.)
So the Oregon native son was the perfect man to handle the rebirth of Glaze Meadow, although Fought knew what he faced when proposing wholesale changes to Mason's work. "I'm usually very unpopular at the beginning of projects. I'm OK with that because I know what it's going to be like at the end. I knew it could be so much better, and that was the mission, and I knew at the end they were going to be happy, and I think they are. Time will tell."

The project began in October 2010 and the full course reopened to public play in late June 2012. Fought retained Bunny's routing for the most part, but that was about it. He directed the removal of thousands of trees inside and along the course, and the tees, greens and bunkers at all 18 holes were built from scratch. Glaze also went from just over 6,500 yards to 7,000 in total length.
"We can now host an Oregon Open," said Jeff Fought, John's younger brother and Black Butte's director of golf. "We can tuck the pins and speed up the greens if we want. But it's also still playable for average golfers."
And, yes, a new irrigation system was installed at Glaze. Black Butte's superintendent Phil Lagao, named 2012 Superintendent of the Year by the Oregon Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, said, "The old irrigation was a struggle . . . this new system is a Cadillac." The computerized system is also saving the Ranch over 20 percent in water usage a year.
TDI Golf out of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, handled the construction of Glaze, with the talented Ron Hart doing the shaping. The price tag for the complete makeover was a remarkably reasonable $3.75 million.

Glaze's old poa annua was replaced by a mix of bent and ryegrass throughout, with fescue in the rough. The greens were also expanded from their original 4,000-square-feet average to around 6,250. But the greens aren't overly bold, by design. "Golf courses are the greens," John Fought said. "I wanted the new greens to have subtle contours. It took me awhile to learn that."
Heading into the remodel Fought was confident he could make a significant difference at Glaze. "I knew this could be 300 percent better," the designer said. "I love projects like that, where you can get in there and you know you can really make a difference. I mean a big difference, like night and day."
For starters, the old first hole is simply unrecognizable from its current configuration. Instead of facing a where-on-Earth-am-I-going par-5, the golfer now has a full view off the tee of the right-bending par-4, with meadows and the Black Butte as a backdrop. Neither is the 16th, a former tree-pinched and punitive par-4 that's now nearly twice as wide. "I think it's really fun to do those makeovers," Fought said specifically about the two holes.
Of the 16th, he added, "I think now it's a nice hole, and before it was Mickey Mouse.
"Nobody likes playing out of the trees all day long. It was a function of us getting the scale of trees back to where they should be. When we first started taking them out, I think some of the homeowners were 'Oh my gosh, what were you thinking?' Then they walked the holes and said this could be a lot more fun to play. It's a big change, but the good news is that there are good trees behind the ones we took out."
Fought had a ready reply for the homeowners about the 3,000 to 4,000 trees removed at Glaze. "There are still 250,000 to 300,000 trees on the entire 1,800-acre property," he noted.
Interestingly, when both Big Meadow and Glaze Meadow were built the designers utilized the standard corridor widths of the 1970s and early '80s - 300 feet. With golf's technological advances, however, newer courses now require 400-foot fairway widths. So to open up the holes at Glaze, Fought removed peripheral trees almost to the property lines of adjoining homes. Now, if you're now off-track at Glaze you may be out-of-bounds.
Needless to say, the two Foughts and Black Butte officials are pleased with the reincarnation of Glaze Meadow.
"We really feel this will give us an opportunity to . . . re-position Black Butte where it had been for so many years as a quality destination for golfers in the region," said Huntsman.
"This is the best bang for the buck I think I've ever done," added a beaming John Fought.

Calvert Catholic Schools faculty completed a three-phase bullying prevention program Wednesday presented by Frank DiLallo of the Diocese of Toledo.
The program, "Peace Be With You: Christ-Centered Bullying Solution," written by DiLallo and co-authored by Thom Powers, began in 2001. DiLallo said after the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, he wanted to do something.
"Just thinking about something like that happening in a school was mind boggling to me," DiLallo said. "I couldn't imagine what the administrators and faculty were going through."
Article Photos
Frank DiLallo of the Diocese of Toledo teaches faculty and staff at Calvert Catholic Schools about how to prevent bullying by looking within themselves.
DiLallo began to compose an audio CD called the "Peace Project." From there, he discussed leadership, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills in schools. He came to realize that what he had was the foundation of a program.
"I would constantly get calls about bullying, so I began to field test the program in the schools," DiLallo said.
The workshop is a two-hour, three-phase program that begins with discussing leadership and how a person see himself or herself as a leader. Phases two and three discuss interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.
The phases include activities and come with a student workbook.
"We want the activities to be thought-provoking and engaging," DiLallo said. "The interaction then is able to bridge the gap between school and home."
The program also has a secular version for public schools called "Peace2U Three Phase Bullying Solution," DiLallo said.
"No school is immune to bullying," he said.
The program targets grades four through eight. DiLallo said he wants to create a program for kindergarten through third grade.
"Bullying seems to be happening earlier and earlier," DiLallo said.
Superintendent Gerald Schoen said the program is intended to prevent bullying and ensure a safe and thriving learning environment for Calvert students and staff.
Pat Berman, technology teacher at Calvert who has gone through the program once before, said this program does good and makes a difference.
High School Spanish teacher Dana Culbert said the program makes everyone aware of the unity, that we're all human.
"The program gives students a chance to see how their actions affect others and allows them to see themselves in another person's shoes and to see how they feel," Culbert said.

The GAP Band
The band's name is an acronym for the nexus of three streets (Greenwood, Archer and Pine) in Tulsa, where the Wilson brothers, Charlie, Ronnie and Robert, were raised. But GAP could also stand for the chasm between the one or two superb songs on each of their six albums and the surrounding humdrum material. The GAP Band is the musical equivalent of Dave Kingman: They strike out all too often, though there is always the possibility that they'll take the next pitch all the way downtown. When the trio is good (You Dropped a Bomb on Me from GAP Band IV or Party Train from V), they are very, very good. Their soulful vocals and the capable producing of Lonnie Simmons prevent them from ever being truly horrid. But they sure coast a lot. On this LP, if you are patient enough to wade through such funk flotsam as Video Junkie and Beep a Freak, there is I Believe—a traipsing blues number backed with a full complement of horns and a stinging guitar tone à la Johnny Watson. I Found My Baby has a down-and-dirty jazz riff that the Wilsons decorate with some fabulous singing. But beware: The GAP Band forces you to buy the cow to get a glass of milk. You're better off with the group's new retrospective, GAP Gold: The Best of the GAP Band. (Total Experience/RCA)

I see that Dennis Rodman is going on vacation with Kim Jong Un this summer. Has Rodman appointed himself a diplomat? (To North Korea, of all places.) He says that it is because the North Korean leader likes basketball. Well, I guess the reason Jane Fonda visited North Vietnam was because the North liked actresses. Only in America!

A pair of Olympic wrestlers in Henry Cejudo and Jeff Cobb could have both ended up in WWE NXT, but the former chose another combat-centered path.
Cejudo prepares to step into the cage at UFC 177 on August 30, going for his seventh straight MMA win. A recent interview points out that he considered choosing WWE developmental after leaving the amateur wrestling ranks. Cobb is set to take a step toward the opportunity that Cejudo turned away.
Other WWE NXT news features word from a recent show in Ft. Pierce, Florida, and Ring of Honor holding on tighter to its talents.
The ever-changing NXT roster has plucked big names from Japan and the independent circuit as of late. The company seemed to have a shot at adding Cejudo as well. Cobb could be WWE's consolation prize.

Back in the Driver's Seat
Blessed with a New Heart, Auto-Racing Legend Carroll Shelby Sets a New Goal
Shelby, now 70, knows something about fast. A onetime Texas chicken farmer who took up racing in the 1950s, he sped to three American driving championships during his nine-year career, won the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans marathon and chalked up 19 straight victories in one year before heart troubles forced him to put on the brakes in 1960.
After leaving racing, Shelby built only 57 of the 100 Cobras he had planned before steering off toward other pursuits. He launched his own Texas-style chili company and even dabbled in safari hunting. But then in November 1989, he found himself racing once again, this time against the clock. Even during his driving triumphs, Shelby had suffered from severe angina. Both his parents died from heart disease in their 40s, and, in fact, Shelby had only finished Le Mans in 1959 by popping nitroglycerine pills to ease the pain in his chest. After two open-heart operations failed to help and his health continued to falter, Shelby found himself facing his final option: a heart transplant.
For seven months he waited as his condition worsened, eventually leaving him unable to walk without assistance. Then on June 7, 1990, the call came. "When you hear those words, 'I think we found you a heart,' there's nothing that will ever sound as sweet," says Shelby. "Not winning Le Mans, the world championship, building the Cobra, or anything."
By the time he left L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center two weeks later, Shelby had set himself a new goal: to help others hear those same words. "After losing a couple of people on either side of me because there were no hearts available, I made my mind up," he says. So in 1991 he launched the Shelby Heart Fund (1631 Pontius Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. 90025), dedicated to increasing organ donations and helping indigent children pay the high costs of cardiac surgery and transplants—more than $300,000 in Shelby's case. "There are organs available. People take them to their graves every day," he says. "That to me is one of the greatest tragedies in this world."
So far, the nonprofit foundation has raised about $300,000 through private donations and two celebrity golf tournaments. "It's wonderful that somebody like Carroll, who has benefited from the donation of a heart, has the wherewithal and the desire to give back," says pal James Garner, who drove a Shelby-designed car in the 1966 film Grand Prix. "A lot of people take, but they don't give."
Shelby has hired a director to manage the fund's money and is concentrating his own efforts on fund-raising. And for that, he has revved up an old partner: his classic Cobra.
Although Shelby shut down production of the car in 1967, he saved some of the parts for the additional 43 cars he had planned. Now, after extensive retooling of those original components plus the use of modern, aircraft-quality metallurgy, Shelby hopes to sell the reconstructed Cobras for as much as $500,000 each (at a rate of just two or three a year, to preserve their value) and donate profits to the fund. And in the process, he says, he can also set history straight. With about 100 companies worldwide now producing replicas of his classic roadster each year (and at least one manufacturer, A.C. Cars Ltd. of England and Wales, making creation claims of its own), "I decided I'd better reinstitute the fact before I died that I founded and manufactured the Cobra," he says.
Which is not to say, of course, that Shelby plans to check out anytime soon. "I've got more energy than I've had since 1960," he booms. But since he is, as he puts it, "sliding into home plate," he figures it couldn't hurt to shift into a lower gear. Now married to fourth wife Lena, a 46-year-old Swedish-born former real estate agent whom he first met at a chili cookoff in 1968 and began dating again in 1984, he also has three children and seven grandchildren from his first marriage. Hoping to spend more time with the brood, he has begun building a family compound near his Pittsburg, Tex., ranch, one of the three homes he owns. (He also has a place in Bel Air, Calif., and another on part of a tiny island off the coast of Mexico.)
For Shelby, however, slowing down is relative. An Army Air Corps pilot in World War II, he still flies a motor-powered glider and ultralights on weekends. Safari hunting has given way to animal breeding (miniature horses, goats and sheep), and there are his ongoing business interests, including a Goodyear Racing Tire distributorship and the packaging arm of his chili company (he sold the rest of the business in 1987). He has even eased himself back into car design, taking a hand in developing the Dodge Viper for Chrysler.
For Shelby, clearly, the race isn't over. After all, he says, "there are a lot of people on the wrong side of the grass. I'm still on the right side."

Student Loan IBR Income Based Repayment Plans
A few weeks ago I asked newsletter subscribers to email me with the things that concerned them. Many readers told me that the cost of higher education, specifically the college and university level, and their student loans were some of the things on their mind.
A few years ago, I wrote about how my sister took advantage of a student loan forgiveness program for teachers. It's a great program if you can participate because it helps the (former) student and it helps society as a whole by putting incentives and compensation more in line with the work performed. Today, I wanted to discuss the Income-based Repayment plan created by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. It only became available/effective on July 1 of 2009.

How do I connect my bluetooth to my cell phone?
It is not very hard to learn how to connect a bluetooth to a cell phone. Many people prefer to have their cell phone and bluetooth connected because it provides benefits including safety while driving. In some states it is actually illegal to talk on the phone, without a bluetooth, while driving.
Not all cell phones connect the same way to a bluetooth, so be prepared to compare different cell phones and bluetooth devices to learn how to connect them.
Read on to learn how to connect a cell phone and a bluetooth headset and then be sure to read through our loads of cell phone reviews so that you can find the best online cell phone deals!
1. Get both pieces ready by making sure they are fully charged.
- If both pieces are not holding a full charge, then they may not be able to emit a strong enough signal to connect.
- If both pieces are at a full charge then the process should not take longer than five minutes to complete.
2. Turn on the "pairing mode" on the bluetooth headset.
- This is done on most bluetooth headsets by starting the process with the bluetooth headset power being turned off.
- Then press and hold the multi-function button, which is usually the button that is used to answer a call, for just a few seconds.
- A light will start blinking, which indicates the unit is on, but do not let go of the button just yet, wait a couple more seconds.
- Next the LED light on the headset will start to blink. The blinking will most commonly be in alternating blue and red colors.
- Once the lights are blinking, the headset is in pairing mode.
3. "Find" the headset with the cell phone.
- This is usually accomplished by going to the phone menu and finding "bluetooth setup" or some other bluetooth option.
- Almost all phones have this bluetooth option, however they may be found in different areas of the phones menu.
- This means that the phone will send out a signal that looks for any bluetooth devices within close reach.
- The bluetooth headset will also be sending out a signal searching for a close cell phone because it is in pairing mode.
- The process of the devices "finding" each other usually lasts only a few seconds.
4. Enter the PIN code.
- After the phone has found the headset it will then require a PIN code to be entered.
- Most headsets have a PIN code of "0000."
- Enter the PIN code when the cell phone prompts to do so.
5. Wait for a message.
- The headset and phone should connect. Then the phone will give a connection message.
- The message may be similar to something like this: "Hands Free Connection Established."
- Some phones will also have an icon appear at the top of the screen. This icon indicates that the phone is now connected to a bluetooth headset.
6. Task is now completed.
- Now the cell phone and headset are paired.
- The quality of how well the headset works is dependent on the software and operation of the cell phone.
How Does a Bluetooth Work?
A bluetooth uses a type of radio technology to send the frequencies that make it work.
Benefits That a Bluetooth Headset Offers
One of the major benefits that a bluetooth headset offers is convenience. This is because by using one of these devices you are able to talk on your phone hands free. This makes it possible for you to accomplish other tasks that you want to get done. For example you can take care of your family or do the dishes while talking.
A bluetooth device also offers the benefit of safety. Statistics have shown that driving and talking on the phone increases the chance of an accident. The bluetooth allows you to talk hands free, therefore you still can have both hands on the wheel.
Can a Bluetooth be Used With More Than Just a Cell Phone?
The most common uses for a bluetooth is with a cell phone. However, it can be used with other devices as well. Some of these devices include:
- Computers
- Faxes
- Laptops
- Printers
- Global Positioning System Receivers
- Digital Cameras
- Video Game Consoles
Choosing the Best Bluetooth & Cell Phone Combination
A bluetooth device is a great piece of technology to have. Learning how to connect a bluetooth device to a cell phone is a simple process and does not take much time at all. Many people benefit from owning a bluetooth headset. Make sure and compare different cell phones and bluetooth devices before choosing which one is the right one to purchase.

1 question to transform your finances
|Email Print
Talking to Bankrate's senior financial analyst Greg McBride about investing in gold one day, I asked him why he thought gold was, in general, not a great place for normal people to put their money. His reply was something like, "It's metal. It doesn't produce cash flows."
Later I thought, why not apply that to everything?
See, stocks and other good investments produce cash flows: money you get just for owning that investment. For stocks, that comes in the form of your share of all the profits that company makes, paid out either as dividend checks, or as appreciation of your stock as the price increases. For bonds, it comes in the form of coupon payments that a company makes to you in exchange for lending them money for their business.
But any way they come, cash flows are awesome. At its best, a good portfolio of stocks and bonds is like a magical box that fills up with money every few months. That you just get to have. Without doing any work at all.
Eventually, if you build a box that's big enough, you can cover all your living expenses, and never have to have to worry about getting laid off, or even working again if you don't feel like it. If someone offered to sell you one of those, you'd probably buy it, right? But instead, most people spend their money on things that don't produce cash flows — new iPhones, clothes, sneakers, restaurant food, etc.
To me, the most valuable thing I can have is freedom to spend my time as I choose, and financial independence definitely makes that easier. So, as far as my own personal finances go, I'm trying out a new test for whether I should buy something: Does it produce cash flows?
That's especially true for things you usually have to borrow money to buy, such as a college degree. For most people, their main source of cash flows is a paycheck from their employer, so spending money on education or a professional certification that will get them a better job does produce cash flows. Similarly, if having the ability to travel a little farther to work could mean a higher-paying job, buying a basic car can help you produce cash flows, which may make taking out a small car loan worth it. Or, if you're the creative or entrepreneurial type, borrowing money to create a business or intellectual property that generates royalties can also pass the test.
Obviously, in the real world, you're always going to have to spend some money to maintain a standard of living that doesn't make you miserable. For instance, taking my wife out to dinner for our anniversary is unavoidable; if I want to have a good marriage, and I do, then it's money I have to spend. But when considering the universe of possible things to buy that I don't necessarily need, I'm going to try and stick with things that produce cash flows from now on.
What do you think? Is there a specific litmus test you use before buying something?

I'm a physicist by training but became an observational astronomer after
obtaining my PhD. I used my physics background to help design instruments
for ground based telescopes at the University of Arizona and moved up
into more research management positions. I took a position as Branch Chief
for research support and engineering at the ST ScI and became involved
in the latter stages of the Hubble Telescope Development and preparing
the Institute for running HST. I was chosen to be the Deputy Director
in 1988 and worked with Riccardo Giacconi for 5 years and Bob Williams
for two. I've resigned that position to return to research and am the
ST ScI scientist responsible for supporting NASA in studing an observatory
to follow Hubble -- the Next Generation Space Telescope. In this role,
I have formed a group of volunteer scientists to define the likely science
program for the new telescope, about 12 years before it actually flies!
I have always liked Math, physics, and understanding how things work.
The transition from physics to astronomy was fortuitous -- basically I
followed my these advisor into the field and have never regretted it.
The first four years in astronomy were tough since I lacked a formal background
in the field (I had taken two undergraduate courses in astronomy but no
graduate courses). I have always learned best by doing, not course work.
As Deputy Director, I enjoyed the challenge of anticipating future events
and planning for them. The Hubble optical problem was a shock for all
of us -- but planning and participating for the first servicing mission
and the first data releases following the mission were thrilling.
At this point, I enjoy a fair degree of independence in terms of personal
research and independent judgement in my support roles.
What I did as a kid to prepare myself for my career was pretty routine
for those days (Hardy Boys, Tom Swift Sr. & Jr., I used to doodle car
and jet designs during my 7th grade classes).
Today, students have terrific computer resources to study physics, structures,
designing cities,etc. On the other hand, it must be intimidating with
everything becoming so professional and efficient.
I liked to fool around with guitar amplifiers when I was in High School
but was a total klutz when it came to Science Fair Projects (!). So prior
to college, I would recommend a few good shop/architecture electives to
develop an intuitive understanding of real life engineering. In late high
school or college, I would recommend summer internships in labs (soldering,
circuit and mechanical design) and maybe research (data analysis and modeling).
I have always strived for breadth and conceptual understanding rather
than a world of details which will change in ten years.
I had several enthusiastic math teachers and a wonderful PhD thesis
advisor. I still collaborate with him and have always admired his optimism,
independence, and hard work. Once, when my thesis project -- a rocket
experiment was literally falling apart, he and I worked around the clock
to fix what seemed to be insurmountable problems. Do that a few times
and you'll begin to think anything is possible.

A fast-moving wildfire is spreading south of Hood River on the heels of the official opening of fire season in Central Oregon on Monday.
The fire was reported at 3:45 a.m. on Wednesday about 10 miles south of Hood River. Rod Nichols, spokesman with the Oregon Department of Forestry, said it had spread to as many as 75 acres on Hood River County forestry land.
Fires usually calm overnight with increasing humidity, but that didn't happen this time.
"It was very fast moving," Nichols said. "That's pretty unusual to have a fire spread so rapidly in the early morning hours."
The Oregon Department of Forestry has sent four fire engines, one bulldozer and a helicopter to the scene. It has also contracted five 20-person hand crews to pitch in and the U.S. Forest Service is sending a hand crew, fire engine and flight crew.
Nichols said the cause of the fire is under investigation. It follows a flash storm that pummeled the Portland area on Monday, with plenty of lightning. But the National Weather Service said there was not a lot of lightning in Central Oregon.
This fire is the second in Central Oregon this year following the Two Bulls fire earlier this month outside Bend, which charred nearly 7,000 acres. Caused by arson, officials are offering $31,500 for information that leads to a conviction.
Conditions in Central Oregon are extremely dry for this time of year, with plenty of fuels in the forest. Foresters urged the public to take care to avoid igniting a blaze when visiting timbered area.

Virginia Leigh "Ginny" Owens is a contemporary Christian music singer/songwriter who is also blind. Owens had three albums chart on Billboard albums charts in the late 1990s and 2000s.[1] She is best known for the song "If You Want Me To".
Owens was born in Jackson, Mississippi, with poor eyesight and has been blind since the age of two.[2] She earned her bachelor of music education in 1997 from Belmont University, but found that most people were skeptical about hiring a blind music teacher.[3] She entered the music business by writing songs for Michael Puryear's Final Four Publishing, which led to a number of labels competing for her, before she chose Rocketown Records.[4] She concentrated in singing and songwriting and began making CDs, and has been producing them since 1999 with Rocketown Records, a label under Michael W. Smith.[5] Owens won the Nashville "Lilith Fair '99 Talent Search", which earned her a spot singing at that year's festival, and the following year performed at the Sundance Film Festival.[6]
Her music has been featured on television shows, such as Roswell[7] and Felicity. Owens has also received three Dove awards, including New Artist of the Year (2000) and Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year (2001) for "Blessed" with Rachael Lampa and Cindy Morgan.[8]
In 2005, Owens started a non-profit organization called the Fingerprint Initiative. The organization has worked in conjunction with other groups, such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission, and Habitat for Humanity.[9] Owens was featured on national television, including NBC's Today Show[10] and CNN,[11] for her contribution to help rebuild New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Owens has just recently released her new album, "I Know a Secret".

JACKSON, MI – After never achieving financial stability at their previous location, the owners of The Fourth Wall are hoping a new site brings better results.
Gary and Marjy Minix have reached an agreement to purchase 809 Greenwood Ave. – former site of Ted's Firehouse Pub and Grill – and make it their new entertainment venue.
The Fourth Wall has been located at 701 Page Ave. since opening in June 2011. Consistently behind on mortgage payments, the Minixes recently opted to work out a deal with their bank to relinquish claim to the property.
A nonprofit organization, the Fourth Wall is dedicated to providing a space for performing arts, including live music, plays, cabaret and comedy.
"The location is much closer to downtown," Gary Minix said of 809 Greenwood Ave. "I am a firm believer in the redemptive quality of arts and culture.
"I really think having something like that on in that part of town can make a positive impact."
Ted's Firehouse Pub and Grill closed in July 2011, within weeks of The Fourth Wall opening, ironically.
Gary Minix anticipates closing on the property this week and then opening for business within two or three weeks. There are some minor renovations that need to be done, but he said the interior is in "excellent" condition overall.
"There is a kitchen, so maybe we'll be able to offer food sometime soon," he said.
The Minixes raised $4,000 from private donors in 24 hours to make a down payment. That included a donation from Broadway playwright Dan Goggin.
"We're starting to get more support from outside of Jackson, and that's going to help," Minix said.
A recent ERA Reardon Realty listing included a listing price of $39,900 with an option to buy the liquor license. The initial listing price for the property in July 2011 was $174,900 including the liquor license.
The Muskegon firm Stariha & Brower, PLC, which specializes in liquor law, says a transferable liquor license can have a retail value of $50,000 or more.
The Minixes do not intend to purchase the license at this time.
"There is just so much insurance and liability that comes with a liquor license," Gary Minix said.
A fundraiser for The Fourth Wall featuring accomplished opera singer and Michigan University music professor Richard Fracker and guests is scheduled to take place at the Brookside United Methodist Church, 4000 Francis St., at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 1. Admission is $15. Call 517-292-4365 to make reservations.

Yup, it happens.
Starving today! Absolutely crazed for protein! By the time I got home from work I literally couldn't think of doing anything but eating as soon as possible and all I wanted to eat was meat. I didn't want any veggies or carbs or anything.
Yup, it happens.
It's not abnormal (in my very limited experience, that being myself and one of my friends). There are some days where I want nothing more than a bloody steak and I can feel the hunger all day (which is distracting as all get up).
yep happens here too, and if it does, I just go with it
I had one of those days not long ago. There was some leftover t-bone steak in the fridge, and my partner almost fell over laughing when he came into the kitchen and caught me gnawing it off the bone while leaning against the kitchen counter.

And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
I haven't been hungry today, and only had a lamb sausage for breakfast. But just before I got hungry and had a huge urge for fatty, spicy chicken nibbles, which I just had cooked in ghee and coconut oil. I love having fat dripping down my chin LOL
Thanks for the words of support guys! I wasn't really worried, but it was so different from the first few weeks where I mostly was able to eat when I was hungry and fasted every few days.
I wound up eating an unknown amount of grilled mahi mahi and bacon that my wonderful husband made for me after I got home and was like "MEAT!"
I didn't even feel full...it was strange...I feel good today though. Just had 3 eggs, and I'm taking a huge amount of the fish with me for lunch...
Yes, it happens to me too when I am very hungry & had sufficient starch (or at least that's how I niterpret it). At times, I even crave raw meat, rather than cooked one, mostly because our grass-fed meat looks and smells so darn good. I ate a few raw pieces a couple of times, and they were very yum. I do crave carbs too at other times.

Featured Golf News
The Visionary behind Liberty National
It warms my Boston heart when I hear Paul Fireman say the word "harbor," which he often does given the spectacular location of his creation, Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, N.J. The course is perfectly situated in New York Harbor, offering breathtaking views of Manhattan, and the Statue of Liberty standing watch center stage.
The Views from the Par-3 14th During the 2013 Barclays
Hole No. 14, a 150-yard par-3, and the 18th, a 490-yard par-4, have such astounding views that you're awed by their magnitude and beauty, and the foresight to create such a setting. The 7,353-yard Tom Kite and Bob Cupp-designed Liberty National has hosted The Barclays tournament twice; first in 2009 and again in 2013.
Some changes were made after the 2009 event and, this time around, the course appeared to have won the approval of the players and critics as the reviews were positive, especially from Australian Adam Scott, who won the first stop in the four-event FedEx Cup Playoffs two weeks ago.
Liberty National is one of those layouts that appears to have been sculpted into the surrounding environment and has been there all along. Given that not so long ago this property was a landfill and industrial wasteland, it is immediately evident that no expense was spared to transform it into a private club within eyeshot of the Big Apple.
Liberty National's Clubhouse
It blends seamlessly with the marsh-enclosed waterfront, and features a $60 million clubhouse that looks like a glass ship about to set sail into the harbor. The structure, inspired by the Sydney Opera House, is 57,000 square feet of glass and steel. Its luxurious interior features locker rooms, a library, bar, formal dining areas and fitness center.
Fireman is no stranger to visionary ideas. After investing $65,000 in Reebok, he bought the North American distribution rights for the sneaker company in 1979, and took it to a public company before selling it to rival company Adidas in 2006 for $3.8 billion. His profit from the deal was close to $700 million.
Besides building companies, Fireman has experience building and rebuilding golf courses, including as the owner of Willowbend on Cape Cod in Mashpee, Mass., from 1991 to 2012. Liberty National is the culmination of his goals in golf.
After playing a round and spending time at this amazing facility, I realized the $250 million to mitigate the polluted land and redevelop, design and build Liberty National Golf Club was worth every cent.
Like visiting a historic building or a great monument, you learn to appreciate that Paul Fireman's vision and desire to leave a legacy was achieved here. Not bad for the former Thorny Lea GC caddie from Brockton, Mass.

She worked for the PGA Tour and the Tour de las Americas before founding Executive Golf International, a golf marketing company that works with clients to develop strategies using golf as the medium. Often referred to as the Maria Bartiromo (a business analyst for CNBC) of golf, Elisa says: "Golf, as a marketing tool, has been around for years. It's amazing how many new ways companies can align their brand with the golf market to reach their target audience. Our goal is to create alliances and establish cross-border relations." Elisa also worked in the entertainment industry for over 10 years, including five in Los Angeles as a model and actress. She can be seen at many celebrity golf events and often gets the inside scoop from PGA Tour players. In 2011, Elisa published her first book, "Two Good Rounds" (Skyhorse Publishing). Her story for Cybergolf, "Golf a Romantic Affair at Cabin Bluff," won the top prize in ING's 2012 Travel Writing category, and that same year she won the ING's Outstanding Achievement award for the Op/Ed Writing Category for her Cybergolf article, "I Want to Fall in Love with Tiger Again."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The Michigan League of Conservation Voters organized a big enough turnout at Thursday's Kent County Commission meeting to prompt local leaders to limit public comment, a move which angered many expecting a say on the county's proposed 2014 budget.
The Ann Arbor-based group organized a coalition of local farmers, township officials, food processors and restaurant owners to attend the county board's Nov. 7 meeting to protest a lack of funding for the county's controversial Purchase of Development Rights Program. The county's 2014 budget, if approved as proposed, will be the first in five years not to include some funding for purchasing development rights from farmers.
Patty Birkholz, the group's West Michigan director, conceded her group's efforts may not pay off when the county board considers the 2014 budget in two weeks, but hopes the word will spread that farmland preservation is important to West Michigan, regardless of what a small group of developers thinks.
Birkholz noted the money county officials have kicked in has allowed preservationists to leverage hundreds of thousands of dollars in government and private grants.
"We understand it's a difficult time. I was a township official and in the state Legislature and I know how difficult budgets are, but the investment in this program overwhelmingly more than pays for itself," Birkholz said. "People see this as a statement that farming is important here."
Preservationists like Denny Heffron say they believe the true spirit of those opposing the program was revealed last month as he donated to the program the rights to 83 acres of his own farmland. Two commissioners voted against the gift because of their opposition to the program.
Heffron noted then that opponents in the past have cloaked their opposition behind the use of public tax dollars, but last month as Heffron offered rights for free, Commissioners Nate Vriesman, R-Byron Township, and Shana Shroll, R-Grand Rapids, expressed their desire to end the program altogether for philosophical reasons. Heffron said that woke up some program supporters who further had their eyes opened by what some described as Thursday's attempts to limit public comment.
"This is something that is near and dear to their hearts and they were told to stay in their seats and keep quiet," Heffron said. "People don't like that and I suspect that some of them are mad enough to get more involved. The campaign season started today."
Given the large numbers indicating they wanted to comment on the PDR program, Board Chairman Dan Koorndyk, R-Grand Rapids, invoked a standing rule intended to limit redundant comments from the public. The rule specifies large groups to designate a lone speaker who will address the board for 15 minutes rather than the five minutes usually allowed individuals.
The rule was then altered by vote to allow any number of speakers to address the board within the 15-minute limit.
Koorndyk, R-Grand Rapids, said there is "zero chance" that PDR will get any funding in 2014. He noted the county is providing $25,000 for a staff person to oversee things like protection of easements and gifts like Heffron's.
As for challenges based on differences over the PDR program, Koorndyk said there's not much new there. Just last month the county board openly bemoaned that PDR has been the most divisive issue during the past decade, despite never amounting to more than $275,000 of the county's $161 million general fund budget.
"That's politics," Koorndyk said.

WHILE newspapers, radio bulletins and even the National Assembly have recently been seized with talk critical of the conduct of President Jacob Zuma, the African National Congress (ANC) itself seems to be discussing other matters.
This points to specific understandings regarding our politics and the inner workings of the ANC. It also suggests a big disconnect between what appears to be the public political discourse, via the media, and actual political conversations within the ruling party. In short, it seems that in South Africa, the views of the chattering classes are not the dominant ones.
In recent weeks, much of the public political focus has been on Zuma's conduct. In particular, there has been public outrage at the continued silence from the government over how much state money is being spent on the president's Nkandla residence.
At the same time, he and his attorney, Michael Hulley, have been publicly accused by many people of contempt of court over their behaviour in the "spy tapes" case. Hulley has refused to hand over the tapes to the Democratic Alliance, which interpreted an order by the Supreme Court of Appeal to mean that he should do so.
There have also been public suggestions that Zuma has refused to take any action on the economy following wildcat strikes in the mining and agricultural sectors.
However, within the ANC, the focus appears to be on internal issues ahead of its Mangaung conference. While in some other democracies such bad press for a leader up for election in less than a month's time would be cause for concern, in Zuma's case it doesn't appear to matter.
This is because of the way the ANC is structured.
Although ANC branches around the country hold independent meetings, Zuma's allies appear to have ensured that they will win enough nominations to carry the day. They have done this by co-opting provincial leadership structures, in some cases, and by on-the-ground political work.
In the ANC, political campaigns are run via structures and via person-to-person meetings where people try to convince each other through direct communication. This is in stark contrast to the situation in the US, where big rallies and television appearances sway voters and delegates.
This could also explain why Zuma is so often accused of being a poor public speaker when delivering his set-piece speeches in English. It is not a skill that he needs to master to remain leader of the party. If he had been born in the US, this might have been different.
The fact that this picture differs so starkly from the one presented in the media could also be a function of how much the South African media focus on the middle classes, who are not necessarily natural ANC members.
The media also tend to cover mostly the big urban markets of Gauteng and the Western Cape, which are not where the ANC's members are found. As the party's recent audits have shown, most of its members live in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape — areas traditionally underserved by commercial media. At the same time, these areas are poorer than their urban counterparts, and people living there may therefore find it harder to take part in media-driven discussions regarding Zuma.
All of this suggests that those who drive media conversations are likely to remain frustrated with Zuma for some time to come.

Stuck In The Bluff: The Complete Documentary Collection
On Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, at 7 p.m., WABE News uncovered the multi-faceted story of the Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition, its efforts, how they are affected by Georgia's anti-paraphernalia laws, and the larger issues of IV drug abuse, HIV and social stigma in Atlanta. The program was re-broadcast on Sunday, Jan. 26, at 9 p.m.
Stuck In The Bluff: AIDS, Heroin and One Group's Illegal Quest to Save Lives is a 30-minute documentary produced and reported by WABE News reporter Jim Burress. This documentary features an organization of people willing to break the law and interact with drug dealers in an attempt to prevent AIDS and save the lives of heroin addicts.
Twice a week, the rickety Winnebago operated by Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition (AHRC) pulls up to one of the most troubled intersections in the Southeast. A line quickly forms.
Troubled hands grip used syringes, waiting patiently to exchange their used needles for clean ones. These are heroin addicts, forgotten, and existing—sometimes barely—in a system that criminalizes the people who are working to help addicts change their lives. To tell their story, and acknowledge their troubled future, 90.1 WABE News will interrupt regular programming January 24th at 7 p.m. for this in-depth documentary.
The Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition is a shoe-string organization behind a controversial needle exchange program. Due to Georgia's anti-paraphernalia regulations, the AHRC is participating in illegal activities each time they venture out. Because of the stigma surrounding what they do, and a challenging climate for non-profits, AHRC is in danger of closing its doors.
Stuck In The Bluff: AIDS, Heroin and One Group's Illegal Quest to Save Lives is a documentary which began as a series of WABE News reports done in collaboration with alternative news outlet Creative Loafing in Atlanta, Georgia.
The complete audio documentary, along with other stories in the series, can be found below.
Web Extra: The Tangled Timeline of The Bluff
To enhance and expand Stuck In The Bluff, we have created an interactive timeline showing how independent historical forces -- the War on Drugs, the HIV/AIDS crisis, the harm reduction movement, and Atlanta politics and history -- came together to shape the Bluff and everyone involved.

NEW YORK -- On a white board in the Mets clubhouse, interim manager Jerry Manuel often scribbles out a pair of inspirational quotes. Lately, players have gotten into the act by contributing some of their favorites.
Nowhere in the clubhouse, though, will you find a notation or hear a whisper of Friday's date, despite its historical significance in the franchise's history.
On Sept. 12 last year, the Mets held a seven-game lead in the National League East, with 17 games to play. In the coming weeks, the team would experience one of the most spectacular collapses in sports history, capped with a season-ending loss to the Florida Marlins.
For good reason, it's not a popular topic in certain circles around Shea Stadium.
Fast forward one year, and the Mets are in the pole position yet again for a run at the NL East crown. The Phillies are an image in the rearview mirror, three games behind. A lineup built for power and consistency just spent two days thumping the woeful pitching staff of the Washington Nationals. The Mets bullpen, which most considered to be a fatal flaw, has not given up the lead since Aug. 30.
The resume is impressive.
On this date last year, the Mets had a better record (83-62) than this year's team (82-63). The 2007 model had a sturdier lead in the division and the September return of Pedro Martinez from rotator cuff surgery had given the team a lift.
Yet, there are those who feel the Mets have a tighter grip on their future this season.
"I feel like we're better equipped from a mental standpoint of carrying this thing out to the end," said second baseman Damion Easley.
There are a few other factors as well. The Mets replaced one ace (Tom Glavine) with a better one (Johan Santana). Carlos Delgado is blasting one tape-measure homer after another, which could possibly win him the first MVP award of his career. Two rookies, Nick Evans and Daniel Murphy, have made valuable contributions. Manuel has guided the team with a skillful hand, knowing when to push buttons and when to back off. Jose Reyes is playing with the reckless abandon that was missing from his game last September.
At this time last year, Reyes had worn himself down after months of playing with the pace of a hummingbird on a caffeine binge. As fans struggled to come to grips with the collapse, many pointed to Reyes' .205 batting average in September.
When Manuel was promoted from bench coach after the Mets sacked Willie Randolph, one of his first decisions was to give players intermittent breaks. Freshen them up, in his words. The new additions to the roster are one thing, but a lot has been made of how the Mets look to be playing with sustained energy now as compared with last year.
That has also brought on an influx of confidence. Reyes was surprised to hear the 2007 Mets had a better record than this year's model, but like others, he feels this year's team has a better chance at the playoffs.
"It's just a feeling," Reyes said. "It's just the way we're playing right now."
After yesterday's day off, the Mets will finish out the season with a 17-game dash. And Manuel believes the recent time off will help.
"No question. We've been fortunate to have these days off in this month," Manuel said. "Right now, no rest is available. There's no rest available. You have to manage your day a little better. Once the game starts you've got to play."
While 17 straight games is a chore, the Mets have been dealt a few kind hands by the schedule-makers. Their final road trip is seven games against the Nationals and Braves, also-rans in the division. Then the Cubs come in, and they could be in cruise control after clinching the National League Central.
Finally, the Marlins will close out Shea. But if the Mets don't falter, there won't be any repeats of last year, when the Marlins danced on the Mets' grave on the final day.
Mets fans who want an opportunity to purchase memorabilia from Shea Stadium should call (888) 463-4472 this morning. Those who sign up as a "Shea Premiere Club" member will have the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium. The Mets, in conjunction with the MeiGray Group, will offer more than 2,000 unique items for sale.

This letter is in response to the article that cited "enraged community members" because a menorah was not placed on the corner of Stevenson Ranch Parkway and Holmes in conjunction with the tree-lighting ceremony.
Just for the record, the nativity was not placed that day, either. It would not be appropriate for a homeowners association to endorse one or the other at a civic ceremony, so I think Mr. Waugh did the right thing.
Also, for any who were not able to attend the ceremony, I wish to offer great kudos to Mr. Waugh for providing a wonderful afternoon!
Hundreds of people were in attendance, with sled rides for children, snow for playing, a visit from Santa, and police and fire vehicles open for wide-eyed children to enjoy.
I was impressed and am grateful to the Stevenson Ranch Homeowners Association for providing it. Thank you!
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
