It’s legal and essential for the Oregon Department of Transportation to buy property from private landowners through eminent domain. Roads must be built and expanded, and sometimes homes and businesses stand in the way. But it’s not hard to find examples of how ODOT’s condemnation work seems unfair to property owners or unnecessarily costly for the state.

WASHINGTON — To an outsider, the machinations of the U.S. Senate can appear incomprehensible and largely pointless. That’s also true for some of those on the inside, including Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., although he’s much more diplomatic in his criticism.

Merkley is one of several junior Democratic senators urging Senate leaders to overhaul the arcane rules and procedures of the chamber. And Sen. Jeff to make that Merkley, D-Ore. happen, Merkley circulated a menu of potential Senate reforms in a memo last week, with proposals for everything from speeding up how the chamber does business to rearranging the seating charts in committee hearings.

“It’s been extremely positive, from people who have shared their responses,” Merkley said, laughing, in an interview last week. “Not everybody’s shared their responses.”

Investments LLC. of private property owners give the highest possible ratings on customer service surveys sent out after land purchases.

“It’s amazing how many people take the time to write out how well they were treated and how much they enjoyed working with the agency, and about 85 percent (of the surveys) are very, very good,” Jones said. “We’re always going to get folks who aren’t happy — but, 85 percent, I’ll stand behind that.”

The Bulletin’s request for the number of properties ODOT acquires each year and how much the agency spends annually on private land acquisitions was refused. The agency responded that it does not track that information, and compiling it would take too much staff time.

Jones also said litigation in condemnation cases is rare and estimated that no more than three cases go to trial each year.

Yet it’s not hard to find property owners who have successfully fought legal battles against ODOT to get a fair price for their land.

In one recent case, ODOT again ignored its promise of access to a Redmond business owner — a move that cost the agency more than a half million taxpayer dollars. In another, a Redmond couple won a $275,000 verdict against ODOT after refusing the agency’s $50,000 offer for their land.

A balanced budget? Still years away

Fifth St.

The jurors found ODOT’s plan to tear out the land’s only road access — a property right guaranteed by the state in 1957 — left the land worth a fraction of its value.

If the jury’s decision stands, ODOT will pay the $3.4 million plus 9 percent interest — which started accruing in July — as well as $450,000 for Harris’ legal fees.

And even if ODOT pays Harris in full, the agency still won’t own the land.

That’s because, after jurors decided the fair market value of the property was $4 million when the verdict was handed down in May, ODOT turned its back on the chance to buy the property outright. The judge presiding over the case gave ODOT a 10-day window after the jury’s decision to pay Harris the full $4 million and walk away with the deed.

The deadline came and went.

ODOT representatives have declined to comment on the case, but the department has notified Harris it will appeal the case.

Dee Jones, ODOT’s right-of-way manager, oversees the agency’s condemnation work and agreed to be interviewed about the process.

Jones said most property owners whose land is purchased by ODOT are happy with their experience.

Conflict: The owners of B & D Auto Glass in Redmond sold property to ODOT to be used for the new layout of Glacier Avenue. ODOT provided a written promise that their access from Glacier would not be blocked.

When contractors were working on the Highway 97 bypass, a crew constructed a concrete wall on Glacier, blocking an access to B & D Auto Glass, an entrance that RV-driving customers used almost exclusively.

Outcome: ODOT agreed to purchase the lot and building, which now sit empty, for $600,000. The property is available for lease on ODOT’s website at a rate of $1,435 a month.

Since tea party candidates made erasing the deficit a rallying cry, Senate Republicans have endorsed a call for a constitutional amendment requiring the government to balance its budget.

While the calls may be urgent, even Washington’s leading deficit foes say it will take decades to balance the books. But why? A proposal by the heads of President Barack Obama’s bipartisan debt commission to cut the budget by $4 trillion wouldn’t wipe out the deficit for more than 25 years.

How agents foiled a ‘grand’ attack

Many paths to jihad, straight from Somalia

By Tim Fought and Nedra Pickler

By Sudarsan Raghavan

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A Somali-born teenager plotted “a spectacular show” of terrorism for months, saying he didn’t mind that children would die if he bombed a crowded Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, according to law enforcement.

He never got the chance. Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested Friday in downtown Portland, accused of trying to detonate what he thought were explosives in a van. It turned out to be a dummy bomb put together by FBI agents, and authorities said the public was never in danger.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Abdul Qadir Mohammed remembers the imam’s powerful voice bouncing off the mosque’s white walls. It was 2001, a few weeks after 9/11, a decade into Somalia’s anarchy. “Our religion must dominate until we die,” the preacher declared.

On that day in the mosque, his heart pounded. “It was the day I was born,” Mohammed, then 13, recalled. He is not the only Somali, here or abroad, who believes this way.

U.S. war games on — but scores say it’s not enough

By Martin Fackler New York Times News Service

By Eileen AJ Connelly The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Shoppers crowded stores on Black Friday but spent just a little more than last year on the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, according to data released Saturday by a research firm.

Retail spending rose a slight 0.3 percent, to $10.69 billion, compared with $10.66 billion on the day after Thanksgiving last year, according to ShopperTrak.

Two factors behind the slim increase, a disappointment following bullish reports from stores Friday, were heavy discounts earlier in November and online shopping, which saw a big increase.

Chicago research firm ShopperTrak, which tallies sales in more than 70,000 retail outlets across the country, said the total was still a record for the day. It stood behind its prediction for spending to rise 3.2 percent for the season.

“It’s hard to say Black Friday wasn’t a success; it’s just not the success we saw in the mid-2000s, when the day really became a phenomenon,” ShopperTrak founder Bill Martin said.

The slim sales increase came despite a 2.2 percent boost in store traffic, which Martin said suggests that consumers were in the stores searching for deals. “This means the American shopper has adapted to the economic climate over the last couple of years and is possibly spending more wisely as the holiday season begins,” Martin said.

Next big retail day: ‘Cyber Monday’ Lots of shoppers made it an all-nighter online. “Even at 1 a.m.

Pacific, there was still very strong buying across the U.S.,” Squire said.

More dollars have shifted to online shopping over the years, but it’s still a relatively small share of holiday spending, between 8 and 10 percent.

Black Friday is generally not as big for online retailers as Monday after Thanksgiving, known as “Cyber Monday,” which Coremetrics predicts will be the busiest online shopping day of the year, driven by heavy online promotions.

The Black Friday blitz doesn’t make or break the holiday season. In fact, shoppers seem to be procrastinating more every year, giving retailers some tense moments the last few days before Christmas.

“I wait for the last minute,” said Linda Majkowski, of Queens, N.Y., who visited a Costco in Melville, N.Y., on Saturday but said she hadn’t started her holiday shopping yet. “I just found out what everybody wants on Thanksgiving.”

INCHEON, South Korea — The explosions from North Korean artillery shells sent Hong Kwang-sun and other members of his construction crew rushing into the basement of their half-finished building on Yeonpyeong Island. As he ran, he saw two workers still standing outside just as another round of blasts engulfed the construction site in flames.

The next day, searchers found the two men’s bodies.

They were burned beyond recognition.

“We never thought they would attack civilians,” Hong said Saturday as he and other survivors sat somberly drinking soju, an alcoholic beverage, near a makeshift shrine to the two men in this South Korean port city.

“North Korean soldiers have full stomachs from our support, and now they repay us by firing at us. Next time, we should repay them by shooting them back.”

The South did shoot back, but many Koreans consider the limited response feeble compared with the hourlong artillery barrage Tuesday, in which North Korea rained about 180 shells on the island, killing the civilians and two South Korean marines.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and South Korea launched joint war games this morning as a top official from China, North Korea’s staunchest ally, met South Korea’s president in a bid to calm tensions.

The ferocity of North Korea’s attack — and the deaths of the civilians — appear to have started a shift in South Koreans’ conflicted emotions about their countrymen in the North, and not just among those who were shot at.

After years of backing food aid and other help for the North, despite a series of provocations that included two nuclear tests, many South Koreans now say they feel betrayed and angry.

“I think we should respond strongly toward North Korea for once instead of being dragged by them,” said Cho Jong-gu, 44, a salesman in Seoul. “This time, it wasn’t just the soldiers. The North mercilessly hurt the civilians.”

That is not to say he or other

Ahn Young-joon / The Associated Press

An anti-government demonstrator rallies Saturday in front of South Korea’s Defense Ministry in Seoul. About 70 members of a protest group denounced what they call the country’s weak response to a recent North Korean artillery attack.

Why the attacks?

North Korea’s attack Tuesday set in motion a fast-forward series of events, starting with criticism of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak for his military’s tepid response to the shelling. South Korea’s defense minister resigned his post Thursday, a move applauded by many who blamed the ministry for mishandling the North’s alleged sinking in March of a Southern warship that killed 46 sailors.

• A propaganda campaign? Analysts call the North’s provocations a campaign to rally its citizenship and boost its million-man military apparatus as Kim Jong Il transfers power to his youngest son. North Korea may also be testing perceived weaknesses in South Korea’s defenses before it resumes its place at the long-stalled six-party nuclear talks.

South Koreans will really push for a South Korean strike; people south of the border are well aware that the North could devastate Seoul with its weapons.

But the sentiments reflect a change of mood in a country where people have willed themselves to believe that their brotherly ties to the North would override the ideological chasm between the Communist North and capitalist South.

Hours after the joint U.S.-South Korea drills began, residents of the South Korean island targeted by last week’s barrage were ordered to evacuate to shelters after the military heard fresh artillery fire north of the disputed western sea border. None of the rounds landed on the island, and authorities later lifted

the evacuation order.

Four South Koreans were killed last Tuesday when the North rained artillery on Yeonpyeong Island, home to both fishing communities and military bases, in one of the worst assaults on South Korean territory since the 1950-53 Korean War.

China steps in China’s State Councilor Dai Bingguo, a senior foreign policy adviser, met with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul, according to Lee’s office, which provided no details. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said they discussed the North Korean attack and how to ease tensions.

The United States has hoped that China would use its lever-

age over North Korea to restrain it from further attacks, but so far China has not rebuked the North’s leaders, at least in public.

And when China did finally make a strong public statement late last week on the attack — the one warning against military actions in its economic zone — it directed its pique at the United States for the naval exercises.

The war games in the Yellow Sea, south of the targeted island involve the USS George Washington supercarrier and display resolve by Korean War allies Washington and Seoul to respond strongly to any future North Korean aggression. However, Washington has insisted the drills are routine and were planned well before last Tuesday’s attack.

Before the games launched today, North Korea issued a fresh threat to launch attacks against South Korea if provoked. “We will launch merciless countermilitary strikes against any provocative moves that infringe upon our country’s territorial waters,” the North’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

Communications Minister Eamon Ryan said all sides in the 10-day-old financial rescue talks in Dublin want at least “an outline agreement” before markets open Monday.

European Union diplomats confirmed that the finance ministers of the 16-nation eurozone, which includes Ireland, would discuss the emerging EU-IMF loan for the Irish at a hastily arranged meeting in Brussels today.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of demonstrators took to Dublin’s streets Saturday to protest wide cuts in the country’s welfare programs and in public-sector jobs.

Six weeks after learning how to fire an AK-47 assault rifle and rocket-propelled grenades, Mohammed was dispatched to the front line. In mid-2006, he helped to wrest his hometown of Jowhar from the control of a powerful warlord widely thought to be on the U.S. payroll. “We overwhelmed his fighters,�

Mohammed said with pride. “I felt no fear. I was hearing the sound of the bullets, nothing more.�

Mohammed quickly earned a reputation as a fierce fighter, and Mohammed was among the first to be recruited as a commander in charge of 60 fighters. But after Sept. 11, 2001, another date also haunts Mohammed: Dec. 3, 2009.

On that day, an al-Shabab suicide bomber dressed as a woman detonated explosives during a medical school graduation ceremony at the Shamo Hotel. The attack killed 22 civilians and three government ministers. “Many students and their parents died. Many young doctors died,� Mohammed said. “That

On Sept. 11, 2001, Mohammed said he felt empowered as he stared at the television screen.

He was proud that Muslims had learned to pilot planes to target America and defend Islam. “I was like any other young Somali who was happy with striking the nonbelievers,� he said. “Osama bin Laden was my hero.

He had my heart.�

In the aftermath, the Bush administration declared al-Itihaad a terrorist organization linked to al-Qaida. U.S. officials had implicated the group in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Moneytransfer networks that Somalis depended on were also shut down as concerns grew that they were being used to move money for alQaida. At Mohammed’s mosque, anger punctuated the sermons, and people grew more resentful of the United States.

For the first time, Mohammed said he felt that the United States and its allies were directly targeting him and his countrymen. “America’s response after September 11 was too aggressive,� he said. “That created anger and only added fuel to the fire.�

One day in the summer of 2005, when Mohammed was 16, a group of men approached him at the mosque. They wanted him to join a new militia called the Islamic Courts Union. “They were interested in children like me,�

Mohammed said. “ ... They told me I was joining a jihad to liberate my country and my religion,� he said. “Eventually, I decided this was the right path.�

His uncle was devastated. “I felt like my heart was taken away from me,� Ali recalled. “They tricked him.�

Somali President Sharif Ahmed, a moderate Islamist who once led the Islamic Courts. Government security officials placed Mohammed there, in part to protect him, and in part to make sure he’s not a spy or a double agent.

He has no plans to settle down. “I am a warrior. I do not need a wife,� he said.

His ideology, though, has not changed. Mohammed said, “You can’t be Muslim without accepting Shariah.� He said he no longer considers America “a legitimate target.� But when asked by this journalist, an American, what he would have done if he had met him a few months ago, Mohammed replied without hesitation: “I would have slaughtered you. And they would have promoted me.�

was the turning point.�

In the weeks before the bombing, he had begun to notice that more foreign al-Shabab fighters were attending meetings for the militia’s senior leaders. “Decisions are being taken by foreigners, not Somalis,� he said.

In February, al-Shabab publicly declared allegiance to al-Qaida.

While he still considered bin Laden a hero, Mohammed was conflicted by the development. Nearly a decade after Sept. 11, many in the Muslim world were questioning bin Laden’s philosophies and tactics. In Somalia, al-Shabab’s harsh measures and al-Qaida-like attacks were increasingly alienating the population. “I thought we would lose the support of the normal people of Somalia,� Mohammed said.

Four months ago, he hopped into a taxi, crossed into government-controlled territory and defected. Mohammed moved to Villa Somalia, a compound of buildings that includes the home of

WASHINGTON — The teen accused in the Portland bomb attempt was acting on his own initiative and not at the direction of any foreign terrorist organization, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the case publicly Saturday.

The official said agents began investigating Mohamed Osman Mohamud after receiving a tip from someone who was concerned about him, but the official declined to detail the relationship between Mohamud and that source.

llia

Mohammed is part of a generation of young Somalis who, seeking solutions to their chaos, have embraced a messianic brand of Islam that today drives a brutal struggle for power and identity in the Horn of Africa. His path opens a window on the forces that have altered Somalia, a failed state and one of the world’s most lethal post-9/11 battlegrounds outside the theaters of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.

Mohammed and his peers came of age when Somalia’s Islamist transformation was already under way. But it was Sept. 11 and its aftermath that gave the Islamist message new weight, shaped by U.S. counterterrorism policies and the animosity they have generated in the Muslim world. Just Friday, federal agents arrested an Oregon man suspected of a bomb plot at a nighttime Christmas tree lighting in Portland’s central square.

Mohammed’s journey would take him from the mosques to an Islamist revolt against Somalia’s secular warlords to al-Shabab, a militia linked to al-Qaida. He would fight in battle after battle, driven less by clan loyalties or politics than a conviction that his religion, and his nation’s soul, was under siege. Ultimately, he would question al-Qaida’s role in his country, a progression experienced by many militant Muslims since 9/11.

Mohammed, two sisters and a brother grew up in Jowhar, a south-central town founded by an Italian duke in the 19th century.

His father was a cattle herder who often vanished for months at a time. When Mohammed was 3, the socialist government of President Mohamed Siad Barre collapsed. Clans and warlords began fighting for control of territory.

As their country fractured, many Somalis sought comfort in a fundamentalist Islam that called for society to repent and rededicate itself to Allah’s divine principles. Money from Saudi Arabia flowed in to build ultraconservative Wahhabist mosques, weakening the influence of the nation’s moderate brand of Sufi Islam.

Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya, a militant group loosely linked to Osama bin Laden, emerged in the early 1990s.

Against this backdrop, Mohammed’s perceptions were colored by religion from an early age. He remembers his neighbors describing the U.S. troops that led a 1993 U.N. peacekeeping mission as “nonbelievers.� He did, too.

Mohammed’s mother died when he was 6. He and his siblings moved to Mogadishu, Somalia’s whitewashed, war-scarred capital, to live with their uncle. Most of the city’s public schools had been destroyed or shuttered, and like

most families, Mohammed’s was too poor to send their children to private school.

So Mohammed attended a free Quranic school run by religious leaders and al-Itihaad members.

The Islamists had founded a system of Islamic courts that dispensed Shariah law and provided social services such as health care and education, filling the void left by a shattered state system.

In addition to memorizing the Quran, he learned Arabic. He never missed the obligatory five prayers a day and attended Friday prayers at the mosque with devotion. “I opened my eyes inside the Quranic school,� he said.

He grew distant from his family and spent more time at the mosque. “The world seemed to him black and white,� recalled Abdiraheem Addo, a former spokesman for the Islamic courts who is now a military commander in Somalia’s transitional government.

Authorities see no foreign help in Portland plot

Continued from A1 The case is the latest in a string of alleged terrorist planning by U.S. citizens or residents, including a Times Square plot in which a Pakistan-born man pleaded guilty earlier this year to trying to set off a car bomb at a busy street corner.

Mohamud’s capture is also the latest indication that the U.S. government is increasingly turning to undercover operatives Mohamed to infiltrate Osman ex tremist Mohamud cells and fight what authorities call a wave of homegrown terrorism. “Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale,�

Arthur Balizan, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Oregon, said in a statement released by the Department of Justice.

In the Portland plot, Mohamud believed he was receiving help from a larger ring of jihadists as he communicated with undercover agents, but a law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the case publicly said no foreign terrorist organization was directing him. “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave dead or injured,� Mohamud said, according to the affidavit.

Although the FBI’s tactics have been controversial among Muslims, officials say they have successfully broken up numerous recent plots, including the attempted bombing of Metro stations in Northern Virginia and a plan to blow up a Dallas skyscraper. And it was a tip from the Muslim community that led the FBI to Mohamud, federal officials said.

Unlike other high-profile cases such as the attempted Times Square bombing in May, federal law enforcement officials said there is no evidence that Mohamud was associated with any foreign terrorist group. There were no indications of any U.S. collaborators, and officials emphasized that Mohamud’s scheme posed no real danger to the public.

But authorities said the chilling details of Mohamud’s alleged plot underscored the need for aggressive tactics against jihadis. Mohamud expressed a strong interest in violent jihad, chose the target and mailed bomb components to men he thought were assembling the device but were instead FBI operatives, court documents said. The documents indicate that he believes in a radical form of Islam.

Mohamud graduated from high school in Beaverton. He was enrolled at Oregon State University over the past year but withdrew Oct. 6, the school said. He was known at the Salman Al-Farisi Center in Corvallis, said Yosof Wanly, imam at the mosque. He said Mohamud was “an average university boy,� drinking the occasional beer with friends in fraternities. “He had some fraternity friends,� Wanly said. “He would attend athletic (events), basketball games, whatever they are.�

The FBI monitored Mohamud’s e-mail and found he was in contact with people overseas, asking how he could travel to Pakistan and join the fight for jihad, according to an FBI affidavit. Officials said Mohamud e-mailed a friend living in Pakistan who had been a student in Oregon in 2007-08 and been in Yemen as well.

The e-mail exchanges led the FBI to believe that Mohamud’s friend in Pakistan “had joined others involved in terrorist activities� and was inviting Mohamud to join him, according to the affidavit.

Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. A court appearance was set for Monday.

Authorities allowed the plot to proceed to build up enough evidence to charge the suspect with attempt.

Mohamud faces up to life in prison if convicted of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Neither an attorney for Mohamud or his family could be located Saturday.

Deficit Continued from A1 Rep. Paul Ryan, in line to become chairman of the House Budget Committee, predicts it will take a half century. A panel led by former Congressional Budget Office chief Alice Rivlin that recently offered its own plan wouldn’t even project a date. “This budget is screwed up so badly you can’t balance it in the immediate future,� said Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who sits on the debt commission and has offered his own “road map� for getting U.S. finances in order. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, said the problem is “pure demographics.

Boomers are showing up old and sick and, as a consequence, costs are dramatic.�

Lawmakers are instead aiming to reduce the deficit as a share of gross domestic product, a standard favored by many economists even as it sets up a clash with those demanding an end to the government’s red ink. “You don’t need to literally balance the budget to get the debt under control,� said Donald Marron, a one-time economic adviser to President George W. Bush. “What you need are deficits to be small enough so that economic growth means the debt is going down relative to the size of the economy.�

Balance the budget or stabilize the debt? “It’s always nicer to be able to say you’re going to balance the budget, but that’s a harder goal than stabilizing the debt and bringing it down slowly,� said Marron, now director of the Washington-based Tax Policy Center, a joint venture between the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute.

Economists such as former White House budget director Peter Orszag say policymakers should aim to reduce the deficit to no more than 3 percent of GDP because at least then borrowing wouldn’t increase faster than the economy’s projected long-term growth rate, and the debt would be sustainable. The $1.294 trillion deficit for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 was 9 percent of GDP, according to CBO. Budget cutters say it’s much more difficult to show a plausible path to balance than it was just a decade ago when stricter fiscal policies, a roaring economy and a drop in defense spending after the end of the Cold War produced a string of budget surpluses. “That was then; this is now,�

Ryan said.

What’s changed now is that the first baby boomers became eligible for Social Security in 2008 and will begin participating in Medicare next year. That makes it difficult to scale back the programs because budgetcutters want to protect current beneficiaries’ benefits while giving those approaching retirement time to prepare for changes. That means cuts are phased in, which means they can’t be counted against deficit reduction anytime soon.

Many road maps Ryan’s road map proposes shifting Medicare to a voucher program in which participants would receive fixed payments to instead buy private health insurance. It would apply only to those turning 65 after Jan. 1, 2021.

The debt commission would raise the Social Security retirement age to 68, though that wouldn’t be fully phased in until 2050. By 2075, it would increase to 69. “That gives people a good amount of time to get ready,� cochairman Erskine Bowles said.

Even unelected officials like Rivlin and the co-leader of her panel, former New Mexico senator Pete Domenici, who are in no danger of losing jobs to voter outrage over cuts, couldn’t draw up a plausible plan to eliminate the deficit anytime soon.

All the budget plans aim to reduce the debt as a percentage of GDP. The $4 trillion in cuts the debt commission proposed would shrink the deficit to 2.2 percent of the economy by 2015 and more in subsequent years.

The debt commission estimates it would reduce that to 65 percent in 2020 and 34 percent by 2040. By then, in 2037, when Obama would be 76 years old, the panel projects the government would finally run its first balanced budget — though commission members have done little to trumpet that. “Can you imagine any elected official saying, ‘I’ve got a 25year plan to balance the budget?� said Stan Collender, a former congressional budget aide who’s now managing director of Qorvis Communications in Washington. “Politically, it’s a non-starter.�

Do bipartisan panels work? History shows they can

By David Lightman McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — A special bipartisan commission is set to give its recommendations on how to cut the federal deficit to President Barack Obama and Congress by Wednesday.

But then the hard part begins: finding the political will to act.

History shows that it can be done, if conditions are right.

Lawmakers and the public must agree on three crucial points: the scope of the problem, the urgent need for solutions and a willingness to accept political risk.

Each element, budget experts say, was present during such bipartisan successes as the 1983 Social Security commission’s rescue plan, and 1990 and 1997 bipartisan budget agreements.

But when even one of the three pieces was absent, such bipartisan efforts usually fizzle.

Political conflict helped doom a high-powered 1993-94 panel studying Social Security and Medicare, and few saw a littlenoticed 2005 tax reform commission as an urgent mission.

Both went nowhere.

So far, experts are uncertain about the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, whose final report is due this week. Its mandate is to find ways to balance the budget, excluding interest payments on the debt, by 2015, and to bring down the national debt over a longer frame. Its final report will need the votes of 14 of 18 members, which means votes from partisans on both sides. If that happens, Congress is expected to vote on the recommendations.

Any commission agreement would be a powerful bipartisan political statement, because the panel includes outspoken conservatives and liberals, as well as influential congressional leaders. However, Robert Greenstein, executive director of the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said that today’s polarized political climate will make it hard to get 14 commission votes.

On the other hand, Rudolph Penner, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, is more optimistic. “There’s more congeniality than I expected.�

He’s encouraged by the tempered reaction, at least from conservatives and moderates, to this month’s recommendations from commission co-chairmen Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson.

Today, no one disputes that the deficit and debt numbers are staggering: The deficit reached $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2009, sank to $1.29 trillion in the year that ended Sept. 30 and is projected by the CBO to exceed $1 trillion again this year. The national debt is projected to reach World War II proportions, sufficient to endanger the economy, within 10 years. “There’s agreement the current (fiscal) course is unsustainable,� said Susan Tanaka, director of policy and research for the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which promotes deficit reduction.

However, there’s strong disagreement over what to do. Most Republicans want spending cuts but balk at higher taxes. Most Democrats resist many spending cuts, other than for defense, and favor raising taxes on the wealthy. Complicating the dispute is how to tackle the immediate economic situation.

How does this current commission compare with the lessons of recent history? Specifically: • Agreement on the problem.

The Social Security rescue commission had a well-defined mandate to solve projections that the system’s trust fund could run out of money as soon as August 1983. It agreed on a series of steps that strengthened the system’s solvency, including higher payroll taxes and a phased-in higher retirement age.

In 1990, key lawmakers from both parties were determined to reduce a deficit projected to rise to a then-record $250 billion in fiscal 1991. After torturous negotiations, they agreed to $496.5 billion in savings over five years, including higher taxes and cuts in spending.

Seven years later, both parties’ leaders, bruised by years of budget battles, came together again behind a common purpose: To find a path to a balanced budget. After two months of talks, President Bill Clinton and Republican congressional leaders agreed on a package of spending reductions, changes in Medicare and a series of tax breaks and increases. Combined with a strong economy, the federal budget soon showed a surplus. • A sense of urgency. “There was a good reason the 1983 Social Security commission was successful. We were about to

run out of money to pay annuitants,� recalled former Rep. Bill Frenzel, R-Minn.

Polls today show that while the public wants deficits and debt reduced, it’s not clear that they see this as an emergency demanding deep spending cuts or higher taxes.

Add the Nov. 2 election results, which gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives but kept Democrats in charge of the Senate, and the result is different interpretations from the two parties of what should be done. • A willingness to take political risks. Two big budget initiatives in the 1990s arguably came with huge political costs.

The 1990 deal helped cost George H.W. Bush the White House two years later; congressional conservatives were angry he violated his 1988 “read my lips, no new taxes.�

Three years later, Clinton won congressional approval of his $500 billion deficit reduction plan, which included higher taxes. But it passed

without a single Republican vote, and probably helped the GOP win control of Congress a year later.

However, said former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., the 1990 deal created a blueprint for a bipartisan solution to fiscal turmoil, helped boost Clinton’s 1993 effort and culminated in the 1997 budget deal.

By 1997, both sides saw potential political gain. George Edwards, with Texas A&M University, noted in a 2001 essay that Republicans needed to show they could govern, while Democrats needed credibility on fiscal responsibility.

Whether the current commission can succeed is a point of debate. Veteran budget analyst Stan Collender observed that “Republicans practiced the politics of obstruction the past two years and got elected.�

But Tanaka retains hope. “What the commission is doing is putting long-term remedies on the table,� she said. “They’re making people talk about the problem.�

Gays OK? U.S. troops buck trend, survey says

THE NEXT CONGRESS

A death-penalty reversal explained New York Times News Service

By Anne Flaherty The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When a majority of troops told Pentagon interviewers this summer they didn’t care if gays were allowed to serve openly in the military, it represented a sharp break from the past when America’s fighting forces voiced bitter opposition to accepting racial minorities and women in the services.

The survey, due out Tuesday, is expected to find pockets of resistance among combat troops to ending the ban on gays. But some 70 percent of respondents were expected to say that lifting the ban would have a positive or mixed effect, or none at all, according to officials familiar with the findings.

The study is expected to set the stage for a showdown in the Senate between advocates of repealing the 17-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” law and a small but powerful group of foes in the final days of the lame-duck Congress. Repeal would mean that, for the first time in U.S. history, gays would be openly accepted by the military and could acknowledge their sexual orientation without fear of being kicked out.

U.S. troops haven’t always been so accepting. Troop surveys conducted throughout the 1940s on blacks and Jews, and in the 1970s and 1980s on women, exposed deep rifts within a military that was dominated by white males but becoming increasingly reliant on minorities to help do its job.

In a study from 1947, four of five enlisted men told the Army they would oppose blacks serving in their units even if whites and blacks didn’t share housing or food facilities. The same study also revealed a deep resentment toward Jews.

Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican who will lead the House’s chief investigative committee, plans to vastly expand scrutiny of the Obama administration.

Republican sees wider powers for watchdogs

By David M. Herszenhorn New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Republican who will lead the chief investigative committee in the House is planning to vastly expand scrutiny of the Obama administration by seeking new subpoena powers for dozens of federal agency watchdogs in hopes of using their investigations and his own in an aggressive push to cut spending and shrink the government.

California Rep. Darrell Issa, who will take over as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has said the government needs “to go on a diet” to help erase the annual budget deficit of $1.4 trillion. His goal as chairman, he said in a recent speech, is to “focus on places where money can be saved, where we can literally close agencies or subagencies or programs.”

It is a far broader policy mandate than was embraced by predecessors in both parties, who viewed their role as chief congressional inquisitor of the executive administration.

“What my committee has to do is, it has to stretch what it has done in the past,” Issa said.

His agenda may surprise some congressional Democrats and White House officials who are bracing for Issa (pronounced EYE-suh) to paper Washington with investigative subpoenas in a broader crusade to bring down President Barack Obama.

But it is in sync with the Republican leadership’s desire to be seen as concentrating on problems of concern to voters rather than partisan combat. The soon-to-be House speaker, John Boehner, has told top Republicans on every committee that their efforts, including oversight of government operations, should focus on the economy and jobs and especially on ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse with an eye toward cutting spending.

Issa has already drawn up a list of big targets: $40 billion a year in fraud or waste in Medicare; tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to the government-controlled mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac; $8.5 billion in losses by the Postal Service in the last fiscal year; tens of millions of dollars spent on redundant programs within federal agencies or squandered through corrupt contracting procedures.

Issa has sought to play down the unfettered power to compel testimony and force the production of documents through subpoenas that he will gain with his new post in January. Instead, he has put greater emphasis in recent weeks on pursuing legislation to grant subpoena power to the inspectors general in dozens of federal agencies, internal watchdogs who he believes are even better positioned to hunt for waste.

The focus on spending may create less tension than more politically focused inquiries. But there is still likely to be a blizzard of investigations compared with the last two years.

Issa has declined interview requests in recent weeks. Aides said he was waiting for his formal appointment as chairman, which is expected this week.

Senate Continued from A1 Right now, Merkley argues, it’s far too easy to prevent anything of consequence from being accomplished in the Senate. His memo cites the fact that 125 executive branch nominees and 48 judicial nominees have yet to receive a vote.

Merkley said he’s not wedded to any of the individual ideas he presented. Rather, he wanted to further the debate over Senate reform by laying out several options.

A fundamental idea, though, is to keep the notion that everyone should have the chance to air their views, while requiring more work from the minority party — whichever party is the minority party — when its members want to gum up Senate business.

One way to do that is requiring filibusters to look more like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” where opposition members would have to continue to speak on the Senate floor to prevent a final vote. That kind of filibuster essentially doesn’t happen today because of the current structure of Senate rules, according to several congressional scholars.

“There’s many, many different ways to do it, but the underlying things are shift responsibility to those who wish to keep debate open,” Merkley said. “Have them have a presence that is visible to the public so there’s transparency and accountability to the public.”

The number of filibusters has risen sharply over the past two decades, based on records kept by the U.S. Senate historian. That office tracks the number of cloture votes, which are used to end filibusters. There were 24 cloture votes in the 1989-90 Congress.

That increased steadily to a high of 112 cloture votes in 2007-08, but fell slightly to 78 cloture votes so far in the current Congress.

Cloture requires a three-fifths majority, or 60 votes, to end a filibuster and move to a final vote on a bill.

Several Democrats and outside pundits have expressed support for Merkley’s proposals. But Republicans have been slower to give up their power to throw up roadblocks to the Democrats’ agenda, which could make it difficult to turn Merkley’s ideas into reality. And some senior Democrats, including Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., have said the filibuster

rules don’t need to be overhauled.

“Not yet,” Merkley said, when asked if any Republicans have signed on to his ideas. “A couple have made supportive statements about reform.”

Merkley referenced Sen.-elect Dan Coates, R-Ind., who said this month that he believes members shouldn’t be able to filibuster the motion to call a bill up for debate, called the motion to proceed. Currently, a senator can filibuster that motion, then filibuster again when the bill is being debated. In combination, members who oppose a bill can delay it for about a week.

Merkley argues that the party out of power has an incentive to embrace filibuster reforms for two reasons — first, because that party is destined to take control of the Senate sometime in the future, and second, because any agreement to limit filibusters would likely come with a guarantee for a certain number of minority amendments on each bill to receive votes.

“The minority will expect to be in the majority some time down the road, so you want to be sure you’ll have full debate,” Merkley said. “You don’t want to exclude debate by cutting people off prematurely, but we don’t want to exclude debate by blocking it, which is what we’re doing now.”

Merkley also wants senators from opposite parties to sit next to one another in committee meetings. Right now, they’re segregated by party, so only one pair of senators from opposite parties sits next to each other.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has supported efforts by Merkley’s fellow Oregon Democrat, Sen. Ron Wyden, to require that another stalling tactic — the hold — be made more transparent. The hold allows any member to prevent consideration of a bill unless Senate leaders use a time-consuming process that requires 60 votes to end the hold. Right now, a senator can place the hold without revealing his or her identity.

Wyden and Grassley want to require holds be made in public.

Ultimately, Merkley said, Democrats have to be willing to abide by whatever reforms they propose.

“To be authentic in this, we have to run everything by the test of can we live with these rules if we’re in the minority,” Merkley said.

ODOT

Neault property

The Viewcrest property Before Bob Wrightman sold an empty strip of Millersburg property to Viewcrest Investments in 1992, he offered the 12.6 acres to ODOT for $35,000.

The agency’s response: No thanks.

The property is bordered by Interstate 5, an overpass known as the Viewcrest Interchange and railroad tracks. So it is “landlocked” and has little value without access to a road.

Viewcrest Investments, along with a partner, paid Wrightman his asking price. The plan was to turn the property into an industrial park along with adjacent surplus land owned by ODOT that Viewcrest bought for $23,000.

The property deed Wrightman transferred to Viewcrest included a right of “unrestricted” road access granted by ODOT’s predecessor, the Oregon Highway Division, dating back to 1957. Because of the way the property was situated, getting that access would mean linking into the Viewcrest Interchange.

Starting in 1993, Viewcrest spent $250,000 to build a 35-footwide service road that was to become the property’s access to the interchange.

In the late 1990s, after the service road was built, ODOT started tossing around the idea of tearing out the Viewcrest Interchange and moving it to a location that would accommodate more traffic.

Knowing that Harris had a right to unrestricted road access, ODOT approached him about buying back its surplus land and the surrounding property. An ODOT appraiser valued the land at $460,000, but Harris wanted $2 million.

Internal ODOT documents show conflict within the agency about the purchase.

In September 2001, ODOT’s executive deputy director told a regional manager and his staff that the agency should “acquire the Harris property as soon as possible, even if the interchange is not removed at the same time.”

But that same month, Dee Jones sent an e-mail to five ODOT planners and project managers steering them away from the purchase.

“It is imperative that ODOT not engage in any conversations with Harris or anyone else for that matter regarding the possible purchase of the property at this time,” Jones wrote. “To do so will create a public relations nightmare for ODOT, something ... I would like to avoid.”

Yet the agency pushed forward its plan to tear out the Viewcrest

Continued from A1 And when ODOT mishandles the way it buys property, just one lawsuit can cost the agency millions in public money.

Patrick Cooney, ODOT’s communications manager, declined to discuss the specifics of any case.

“There are processes established to settle condemnation disputes. To argue them again in the press, especially one that is still in litigation, is counterproductive and does nothing to illuminate how ODOT does business,” he said.

Private lawyers who challenge the way ODOT does business say it’s tough for a property owner facing condemnation to get a fair deal from the agency.

“When I meet with my clients that are property owners and talk to them about comparing the different agencies, I always say — and I said it to somebody this morning — that ODOT is the most challenging to work against,” said Portland lawyer Jill Gelineau, who has been practicing condemnation law for 25 years.

Conflict: ODOT widened Highland Avenue into the front of a lot owned

by Cheryl and Randy Neault. They claim this reduced the value of their land because it limited what could be built there.

Outcome: In December 2006, a jury returned a verdict ordering ODOT to pay the Neaults nearly $205,000 — more than $155,000 more than its initial offer — and $70,000 in attorney’s fees.

Interchange, despite an Oregon Department of Justice opinion telling ODOT that Harris had a right of access to the overpass.

In 2005, ODOT gained approval from Linn County to remove the interchange and build a replacement elsewhere.

A year later, in 2006, an ODOT engineering consultant hired to analyze the project valued Harris’ land at $4 million. The land was for sale, but Harris could find no buyers.

He blamed ODOT. So in April 2008, Viewcrest Investments filed a $5 million suit against ODOT. The complaint said ODOT rendered the Millersburg property virtually unsalable by publicly touting its plan to take out the interchange and “acquire (the) land through eminent domain proceedings.”

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, ODOT filed a lien on the property, notifying any potential buyers that the land was subject to a court fight.

This left Harris unable to sell any of the land, which he needed to do if he was to make a balloon payment coming due. The property went into foreclosure, and on May 18 of this year — one day before the land was to be sold at public auction — Viewcrest filed bankruptcy to stop the sale.

It was a crushing blow for Harris, said his attorney, Russ Baldwin, who described Harris’ testimony at trial about the Viewcrest bankruptcy as “the low point.”

“He is telling all about how the state drove him into bankruptcy, and he is a very masculine guy, and he is on the stand and his shoulders start to shake and he is starting to cry,” Baldwin said.

“His shoulders were heaving like crazy and his emotion is just taking over, and the judge says, ‘Let’s take a break here.’”

Shortly before the trial, a private appraiser hired by ODOT prepared a report saying the Viewcrest property was worth $621,250, assuming it had road access. Without such access, the appraiser valued the property at $285,775.

An appraiser hired by Viewcrest put the property’s value at more than $5 million.

During their deliberations, jurors sent a question to the judge: “Does our decision determine who takes the deed to the Viewcrest property?”

The judge replied that ODOT would only get the property if it paid Harris its fair market value, which the jury determined was $4 million.

“They found ODOT willfully interfered with my clients’ property rights and awarded him $3.4 million in damages,” Baldwin said.

“And the state didn’t get anything out of it but a large bill.”

B & D Auto Glass Larry and Theresa Scott sold ODOT a small chunk of land in Redmond in 2004 in exchange for a written promise that ODOT would never cut off access to their Redmond business.

Three years later, an ODOT crew poured a cement wall in front of their main driveway.

B & D Auto Glass had been in the same place for more than 10 years. It sat along Glacier Avenue one block northwest of where the road now branches off from the U.S. Highway 97 bypass.

One of their main sources of income came from owners of recreational vehicles, who could only access the lot via the driveway coming off Glacier.

So when ODOT workers started building a wooden frame for the wall in August 2007, the Scotts called their lawyer, Martin Hansen. Hansen called ODOT’s local right-of-way manager in hopes of stopping construction on the barrier wall.

“And he agreed that there was a valid agreement and he tried to stop them, but they had already put up the framework for the wall,” Hansen said.

The problem: ODOT had two crews right next to each other — one working on the U.S. Highway 97 reroute and the other working on the Highland Avenue/Glacier Avenue couplet — that did not consult with one another.

“It was a classic right hand/left hand,” Hansen said. “ODOT decided to expand ‘team parkway’s’ authority over ‘team couplet,’ but the engineers on team parkway they wouldn’t talk to team couplet, and one of them picked up the plans one day and sees the access and says: ‘Well, I choose to close it.’”

In the month after ODOT built the wall, B & D’s business dropped by 20 percent. The Scotts filed a $400,000 lawsuit against ODOT in 2007 saying the agency,

W B NATO forces capture 20th Taliban leader KABUL, Afghanistan — NATO says it has captured a leader of a Pakistan-based Taliban faction closely tied to al-Qaida.

The military coalition said today the militant, from the Haqqani network, was picked up Nov. 25 in the eastern Afghan province of Khost. He was accused of carrying out remote-controlled roadside bombings targeting coalition bases and convoys.

The capture brings the number of senior Haqqani leaders captured this month to 20.

Although NATO forces have poured troops into the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand and have been making progress in rolling back the Taliban, fighting has continued in the eastern provinces where the

Haqqani network holds sway.

Meanwhile, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at an Afghan police headquarters Saturday, killing 12 officers.

New protections for sharks, not bluefin tuna International delegates meeting in Paris adopted new protections for sharks but rejected ones for bluefin tuna Saturday, signaling that fisheries managers are now more willing to safeguard some of the world’s most imperiled marine predators but not others.

On the last day of voting at the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, the group charged with overseeing shark species in the Atlantic voted to ban the fishing, retention and sale of oceanic whitetip sharks and six types of hammerheads.

Al-Maliki promises new government in weeks BAGHDAD — Newly reappointed Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki pledged Saturday to form a cabinet by mid-December, a move that would end months of government lethargy following inconclusive elections in March, and declared that Iraq would not need U.S. troops after their December 2011 withdrawal.

“If we can’t form the government within 30 days, the country will slide in directions only God knows about,” he said during his first news conference since being formally nominated Thursday.

Also, he said, “I do not feel that there is a need for the presence of any other international forces to assist the Iraqis in controlling the security situation.”

by building the wall, had illegally acquired their property.

In preparation for trial, Hansen requested any jury hearing the case be allowed to visit the lot.

Hansen said ODOT is lucky that visit never happened.

“That would have been a real problem for ODOT because the bus that would take them out there couldn’t get onto the property,” Hansen said.

Nearly two years later — after the trial in the case had been postponed three times — ODOT agreed to pay $600,000 for the lot and former B & D Auto Glass building.

The taxpayer money bought a 0.22-acre industrial lot with a concrete building ODOT describes as “in fair condition” on its website.

The agency is offering the property for lease at a rate of $1,435 a month, which does not include real estate taxes, building insurance and maintenance, according to ODOT’s site.

“So now ODOT owns it, and it’s just sitting there,” Hansen said.

“And why does ODOT own a glass repair shop in Redmond? Because they were too inept to take down $400 worth of wooden forms.”

The Highland Couplet In 1988, Cheryl and Randy Neault spent $41,300 for a quarter-acre lot in Redmond with a small 1930s-era house. They ran two businesses out of the building, and planned one day to sell the lot and retire on the proceeds.

That day never came.

In 2004, ODOT notified the Neaults it would need more than 3,000 square feet of frontage — a strip that went nearly up to the front door — to widen Highland Avenue at its intersection with 15th Street.

The agency offered the Neaults $50,400 for the land, based on the estimate of an independent appraiser hired by ODOT. It offered them nothing for the decreased value of the remaining lot, said Martin Hansen, who also represented the Neaults.

“They said, ‘The rest of your property isn’t damaged,’ but they didn’t check with the city to see if (the Neaults) could ever get permits for anything other than a coffee shack,” Hansen said. The city’s setback requirements would have prohibited the Neaults from building anything larger, he said.

So the Neaults hired Hansen

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, November 28, 2010 A7 and paid an independent appraiser $14,000 for a second opinion.

The appraiser said ODOT should pay $160,000 to compensate them for the land and “potential lost development opportunities some five to 10 years from the date of value.”

ODOT stuck with its offer and filed a condemnation action against the Neaults in September 2004.

As both sides prepared for trial, ODOT moved forward with its project, which included a wide curb and a sidewalk that came within a few steps of the Neaults’ front door.

In March 2006, as the project was being completed, a drunken driver smashed through the front of the house. The crash took out a portico, the front door and a window, and pushed wood framing through the interior sheetrock.

The driver was ordered to pay the Neaults nearly $4,200 for the damages.

In May 2006, Randy Neault unexpectedly died in his sleep at 50. Cheryl Neault, who declined to be interviewed for this story, did not give up on her case

against ODOT. As a November trial date approached, ODOT filed a second complaint, lowering its estimate of what it should pay the Neaults to $47,610.

When asked at trial what she thought her property was worth, Cheryl Neault estimated its value at $250,000.

Jurors came back with their verdict in December, ordering ODOT to pay $205,000 for the property, along with 9 percent interest dating back to September 2004. The attorneys’ fees, which ODOT also was required to pay, were more than $70,000.

“These cases are classic bureaucratic nightmares and waste on every extreme,” Hansen said.

“ODOT knows how to create problems, but they don’t know how to fix problems; they just throw money at them.”

A Redmond man’s mortgage-modification mire Jess Bulkley eventually got help; no thanks, he says, to a company that charged him $3,000

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Two years ago, Jess Bulkley was growing anxious about whether he would be able to hold on to his Redmond home. He piled up more debt by making only the minimum payments on his “option ARM” mortgage.

The mortgage that started out at $196,000 in 2007 has since grown to roughly $216,000, said Bulkley, who is 69 and retired.

Payment-option adjustable-rate mortgages, popular during the height of the housing boom, give homeown-

ers a choice of monthly payments.

They can make payments from one that covers interest and part of the principal, to a minimum payment that doesn’t even cover all the interest.

Just when Bulkley was getting worried in November 2008, he received a card in the mail from a California company that offered to help him obtain a more affordable loan. But first, he would have to pay nearly $3,000.

Bulkley says he paid, and now says the company strung him along for more than a year, with promises of help that turned out to be false.

Oregon’s attorney general says the

company, American Team Mortgage Inc., violated state laws intended to protect consumers, when it charged Bulkley and 31 other homeowners in the state to negotiate on their behalf for mortgage modifications.

The attorney general filed a lawsuit against American Team Mortgage Inc., also doing business in Oregon as American Mortgage Relief, on Nov. 22, alleging the company charged Oregon homeowners more than $80,000 in fees for mortgage modifications, according to the complaint.

Oregonians who have pet lynx or Fennec foxes instead of cats or dogs need a permit from the state to keep their animal.

But starting Jan. 1, the state Department of Agriculture will not issue any new exotic animal permits. Those with existing permits will be able to keep their animals.

In Oregon, state law requires people who have pets that fall into five different categories to have a permit. The following animals must have permits: felines, except for domestic cats; canines, except for domestic dogs, wolves and species that don’t live in Oregon naturally; non-human primates like chimpanzees and capuchins; bears, except for black bears; and crocodiles and alligators can be owned with a permit as well.

But due to a new rule passed by the 2009 Legislature, the state agency will stop issuing permits after this year — so people will not be able to get new exotic pets in the state.

“We will not issue, or be able to issue, any new permits,” said Don Hansen, Oregon’s state veterinarian. “People who have their animals now and are permitted will just go on — we renew them every two years.”

Breeders, dealers and exhibitors can still have exotic animals if they have a permit from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Hansen said, and meet those federal requirements.

The state’s policy, according to the rules related to exotic animals, is to “protect the public against health and safety risks that exotic animals pose to the community.”

The animals are wild, Hansen said, and even small animals can cause issues.

“We keep coming across it with some of our permittees, and people who should be permitted, that have these little events where the animal escapes,” he said.

Bark, ’tis the Sisters

ChristMUSH! Parade

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

SISTERS — amped in the back of a custom van shortly before the start of Saturday’s Sisters Christmas Parade, Ann Richardson’s corgis looked more than a little bored.

The dogs, Richardson explained, are veterans of many, many parades — “parade machines,” she called them — and would pick up the enthusiasm when the time came to get into costume and pull a wheeled cart down Hood Avenue.

As with past years, the fourdog “Corgi Express” could look forward to its usual postparade reward, Richardson said — Trader Joe’s hot dogs.

But with any luck, they would not repeat last year’s performance, where they barreled over two photographers who had stepped out into the street to get a better shot.

“That’s what’s so funny about it; it’s just so wrong, so wrong,” said Richardson.

“You don’t expect that with an 8-inch-tall dog.”

This year marked the 35th year of the Sisters Christmas Parade, and the day featured an abundance of animals both large and small, from horses of all varieties to miniature donkeys, sleek greyhounds in sweaters and immaculately groomed llamas.

Redmond is putting the final touches on a median along a short stretch of Southwest Highland Avenue, as the road passes south of Redmond High School.

Scores of pedestrians cross Highland at the 23rd Street intersection each day, and most of those people are high school students crossing to get food at the shopping area on the south side of the road. With McDonald’s, Ray’s Food Place, Starbucks and Cibelli’s Pizza, there is plenty of draw for students.

The city says the median will help make that crossing safer,

rial road on the city’s west side.

ODOT agreed to that project as long as Redmond promised to build the $40,000 median.

Redmond Public Works Director Chris Doty said the city agreed because the area — which is also state Highway 126 — needed to be safer.

“There’s been some traffic conflict there,” Doty said. “Any time you have that kind of volume crossing a state highway, and it’s unprotected, it’s concerning.”

Paul Rodby, a Redmond School Board member and the McDonald’s owner, said he will lose significant traffic coming to his restaurant from the road.

There’s more than a coat of paint to Albany family’s home makeover Paint company’s giveaway grew into much more

By Annemarie Knepper (Albany) Democrat-Herald

ALBANY — Saying you wouldn’t recognize the Powell house at Oakville Road isn’t an overstatement.

“It’s huge — all except for the wrecking ball, it’s ‘Extreme Home Makeover,’” said Debi Powell, referring to the popular television show.

Powell, her husband, Ron, and their four adopted children won the face-lift for their humble abode in Fitzpatrick Painting’s annual Paint-It-Forward charity giveaway.

When owner Tim Fitzpatrick visited the home, he realized it needed more than a fresh coat of paint. He asked some friends in the home-improvement business if they could help

and before he knew it, PaintIt-Forward turned into a home makeover, valued at more than $85,000.

The three-bedroom, 2½-bath home on Oakville Road in southwest Albany was built in 1962. The Powells moved in in May of 1985.

“It was a vet repo,” Debi explained. “It was livable. It was all right. We decided to invest our money in our children.”

And a great deal of charity work.

“These kids have all grown up with love and parents that have sacrificially given not only to them, but to their community,” wrote Ron’s son Todd, 43, of Corvallis, in his nomination letter.

“They have done so without

ringing a bell, but rather with great love and humility.”

The couple started a nonprofit called God’s Heart, through which they serve food to homeless people every Tuesday night at Monteith Riverpark.

“They even had one couple living at their home for a couple of years on their floor because they did not have another bedroom,” Todd wrote in the letter.

Debi is also the local president of Love, INC. Ron owns his sheet metal business — and is the only employee.

“He has never focused on making money, but rather taking care of his family,” Todd wrote. “He has always maintained his integrity and has given generously over the years,

even if it’s just fixing someone’s car, helping someone move or whatever the need.

“These are not flashy people on outward appearances, but they are people of great depth and values.”

Indeed, the home was far from flashy.

“We had to flush our toilet with a bucket,” Debi said of one of the bathrooms. “We used to kid each other it was practice for missionary work in third-world countries, where we’d have to hike two miles and dig a hole.”

New countertops, faucets, toilets and sinks are being installed in the bathrooms.

“I can’t remember how many years it’s been since we had a shower,” Debi said. The family has two full bathrooms, where they use the bathtubs and one half bath Ron has been working on “for years.”

Continued from B1 Led by a pair of animals of sorts serving as grand marshals — the costumed Oregon State University Beaver and the University of Oregon Duck — the parade wound past a crowd of thousands in downtown Sisters, culminating with refreshments and visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

With the minutes ticking down until the start of the parade, Jeff May from the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District made a final check of his float.

The float, a 1943 pumper truck that was one of the department’s earliest vehicles, had been festooned with dozens of toys, and May said he wanted to be sure they didn’t start falling off along the parade route.

“We used everything we could, zip ties, duct tape,” May said, explaining the stock in zip ties went way up.

May said many of the toys affixed to the truck will be given away next month as part of his department’s annual toy drive. He said they

Damage there has been estimated at $10,000.

expect to collect enough toys this year to provide Christmas presents for 250 to 260 kids.

May said he’d like to be able to take the truck to Bend and Redmond for their annual Christmas parades, but expects the toys would start rattling loose if he got up past around 40 mph.

But according to Jeri Buckman, who helps organize the event each year for the Sisters Chamber of Commerce, if you can only make it to one Christmas parade, Sisters is the place to be.

“It’s a great parade,” Buckman said. “It’s just small enough, it’s unique, and everyone has a good time.”

The Redmond Starlight Holiday Parade was also held Saturday, while the Bend Christmas Parade and the La Pine Holiday Lights Parade are coming up next Saturday.

O Government worker pay to be budget issue

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — Thousands of state workers took an unpaid day off Friday, earning a smaller paycheck to help Oregon balance its struggling budget.

With a bigger gap looming in the next two-year budget, public employees are likely to be asked to contribute even more, but they’re resisting steep cuts despite cries from critics that benefits are too generous.

Government managers will negotiate new contracts with their workers next year.

Why the focus on government workers? They’re a big cost — one in three general fund dollars ends up in a paycheck for state employees, teachers or contractors. And cutting pay means the money doesn’t have to come from state programs or services.

Tax revenue is declining — down $1 billion from 2009 projections. But at the same time, government obligations to employees are increasing. Health care costs are rising, and employees earn more money as they gain experience. The state-worker pension fund is requiring government agencies to contribute millions more next year because the Great Recession did a number on the fund’s investments.

There is also heightened national attention on government spending and public worker pay,

fueled in part by the tea party movement.

The bull’s-eye is centered especially on government workers’ benefits, which are more generous than those offered by most private employers. State government retirees still get guaranteed pension payments, for example, and they pay little out of pocket for their health care coverage.

Both are increasingly rare in the private sector.

“The test of anything is, ‘Can I hire the quality I need for the money I’m paying?’” said Richard Leonetti, a researcher with the Oregon Tax Foundation, which advocates smaller government. “By that test, you could pay a lot of people a lot less money and they would not leave, because they cannot get a better salary anywhere else.”

Public employers have generally absorbed the increasing costs of health care coverage while private employers have not, and some pay health care costs for retirees who are too young for Medicare. Those lucrative benefits cost taxpayers too much, he said.

Unions say state workers have for decades accepted lower pay in exchange for more generous benefits. So, while their benefit packages might look generous, they’re making up for lower salaries. Cutting them back would renege on agreements made in the past, they argue.

USDA leader sees opportunity in rural Oregon

By Mitch Lies (Salem) Capital Press

SALEM — Four months into serving on the Oregon Parole Board, former state Sen. Vicki Walker received a call from the Obama administration asking her to become state director of USDA’s Rural Development.

Thirty minutes later, Walker was on the phone with Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

“I called the governor and said, ‘I’m sorry, the president trumps the governor,’” she said.

“I think what (the Obama administration) was looking for was someone who understood rural communities and someone who knew how to fight really hard to get what we need out of these (Rural Development) programs,” Walker said.

“And I think my legislative career speaks for itself,” Walker said. “I never took no for an answer.”

Now, one year into the job, Walker is seen as a driving force behind improving conditions in rural Oregon.

“She is really an advocate for the little guy,” said Peter Hainley, executive director of Community and Shelter Assistance Corp. of Oregon. “This year was the first year in 12 years we’ve had two farmworker housing projects funded through Rural Development in

the same year.”

“She moved barriers,” said Cyndi Cook of Housing Works, a Central Oregon housing organization that worked with Walker on securing funding for a farmworker housing project in Madras.

At first blush, Walker, a Eugene Democrat, was an unlikely choice to lead Oregon’s USDA Rural Development.

But Walker, who graduated from high school in the small coastal town of Reedsport, has small-town roots. And her political and business connections make her a natural choice.

“I love small-town Oregon,” Walker said.

USDA annually allocates a dedicated amount of Rural Development funds to each state.

Other funds are distributed on a competitive basis.

A state measures its success by how many loans and grants its gets out the door.

“For me, it is more than that,” Walker said. “It’s how many jobs you’ve created and how many jobs you’ve saved.”

Once a state depletes its allocated resources, it can apply for additional funds out of a pool built from states that didn’t deplete their allotment.

“I always want to be asking for more (at the end of the year),” she said.

O B Woman gets 6 years for sex with teens PENDLETON — An Oregon woman has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison after pleading guilty to having sex with two teenage boys.

The East Oregonian reported that 41-year-old Sara “Sadie” Thompson, of Weston, pleaded guilty earlier this month to two counts of sex abuse and one count of luring a minor.

She was indicted last May by a Umatilla County grand jury.

Thompson is the mother of three boys, ages 12 to 15. Court documents show her victims were also younger than 16.

Thompson also must serve three years of post-prison supervision and register as a sex offender.

Trees that move: a tall tale and a real migration, too Y E S T E R D AY

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Nov. 27, 1910 BAD AUTO ROADS Mrs. C.S. Hudson and little son Don arrived home from Portland on Thanksgiving morning very early. They started by auto stage from Shaniko early Wednesday morning. The machine wore out two sets of wheel chains, and the driver purchased 150 feet of rope from farmers along the road, but all such devices for securing traction in the slippery mud were short lived.

This side of Redmond the car made fair progress and arrived at the foot of the Laidlaw grade near 4 a.m. Thursday. There the broken leaf of a spring stuck in the hard roadway, and the transmission gear of the auto was stripped — and there they were.

All hands walked three or four miles through 4 inches of slush to a camp at the Swalley ditch, where they touted out a team to bring them to Bend.

Dr. William A. Brady, of New York, was one of the passengers.

He was hurrying to his sick family at Fort Rock. After leaving Shaniko, he received word that both his wife and child had died, and it was on his account that the auto stuck to the road and traveled under pressure instead of lying over at some comfortable place on the route for rest and repairs. The party had only one meal in the 24 hours — at Shultz’s Wednesday noon.

Mrs. Hudson went out to Shaniko a week previously with the Roscoe Howards. Howard’s new machine became disabled on the road, with all other rigs for Shaniko ahead, and the party reached the railroad at midnight after two relays of teams. So Mrs. Hudson and the 4-year-old boy think they got their share of rough experience in their one round-trip to the railroad.

The long ride in the storm and cold, lack of food and final tamp in execrable footing put them about “all in” when they reached home.

A.M. Drake returned from Portland last Wednesday evening, having spent two days coming through from Shaniko by auto, with part of a night’s rest at Madras. This machine tore its tires to pieces and ran on the rims nearly all the way from Heisler. Mrs. J.E. Ryan and her companion, Miss Austin, were passengers in this car.

Frank Robertson is now on his way in from Shaniko. He is not trying his own car on the road and auto stages have quit running, so he is coming by horse stage.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Nov. 27, 1935 TROTTING TREES “Many trees in those days moved about as they pleased, but one great forest was forever on the trot,” relates James Stevens, former resident of Bend, in one of his Paul Bunyan yarns

in describing mythical trotting trees of the old northwest. So wild were these trees, Stevens recounts, that on one occasion Bunyan sent out his choppers armed with lassos instead of axes, and one by one the cavorting conifers were roped and hogtied for logging.

Stevens probably thought he was original in proposing this choice bit of experience for the mythical Bunyan, but once upon a time there was a forest that moved across continents and finally found a choice resting place in the extreme southern part of Oregon, near the coast, and in California. This forest of old that ambled across the Bering strait from Eurasia and receded southward into the ancient Oregon country before advancing glaciers was composed of giant redwoods. Remnants of the seemingly mobile sequoias are found in great abundance in Central Oregon, especially in the vicinity of Mitchell, Clarno and Prineville.

The story of the “trotting trees” of millions of years ago was recounted on the Oregon State College campus in Corvallis last weekend by Dr. Ralph Chaney, internationally known authority on the world’s primeval floras. Through an interesting coincidence, on the same evening Dr. Chaney was lecturing on Oregon’s ancient forests in Corvallis, a Sunday supplement containing the Paul Bunyan account of “one great forest that was forever on the trot” was being distributed on the streets of Portland.

Unlike Paul Bunyan’s conifers, the redwoods whose trails have been found in the Bridge Creek and Clarno sediments move slowly over the face of the continents, extending their boundaries gradually from century to century. From Europe and Asia, Dr. Chaney followed the trail of the redwoods across the Bering country to Nome, Alaska, then southward through western Canada and Washington into Oregon. Although their trails are distinct, these trees are no longer found in Europe or Asia, in Alaska, British Columbia or Washington.

In their migration southward, the sequoias of the Eocene were apparently in no great rush to leave Central Oregon. These giant trees of ancient years must have flourished in this part of the state for long eons. Their huge trunks remain as slabs of petrified wood, such as those found on the Brink ranch in Juniper Cove near Prineville. Their delicate needles are found in numerous fossil localities. Even the pinnacled Smith Rock formation immediately north of Crooked River was the home of redwoods in dawn age times, when the precipitation in this part of the state was heavy and the climate was subtropical.

Stevens’ Paul Bunyan stories are interesting and strange, but no more strange than the stories read from the ancient rocks of Central Oregon.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Nov. 27, 1960 DUCKS AND BEAVERS RATED DEAD EVEN The far west’s top two independent football powers, Oregon State and Oregon, collide for the 64th time Saturday in a game rated dead even and which might see a bowl bid go to the winner.

Coaches Tommy Prothro of Oregon State and Len Casanova of Oregon were hoping that rain, which has fallen most of the week, would let up. But the forecast called for rain Saturday afternoon.

Both teams have indicated that they would be receptive to a postseason bowl game. Oregon is 7-2 and Oregon State 6-3. Much of the bowl talk has been centered around the Liberty, Gotham and Bluebonnet Bowls Dec. 17 and the Gator Bowl Dec. 31.

Oregon relies a lot on the speed of halfbacks Dave Grayson and Cleveland Jones and the excellent all-around play of quarterback Dave Grosz. Grosz is just 186 yards short of George Shaw’s career Oregon offense mark of 3,106.

Oregon State’s offense is headed by tailbacks Terry Baker and Dan Kasso. Baker, a sophomore, is second in the nation in total individual offense, and Kasso is one of the best runners of the Pacific Coast.

Oregon has shown more on defense, with a stout line headed by tackles Steve Barnett and Guard Dave Urell. The webfoots have given up but 31 points in their last six games.

The two teams have a habit of upsetting each other. In 1956, when Oregon State went to the Rose Bowl, Oregon tied the Beavers 14-14. The next year when Oregon went to Pasadena, Oregon State won 13-10. In 1958, Oregon scored a 20-0 upset, and last season when Oregon was 8-1 and Oregon State 2-7, the Beavers won 15-7. And the upsets have come on the other teams’ home field.

A crowd of 29,000 is expected.

Over the years, Oregon has won 30, OSC 25 and 8 games ended in ties.

PROTHRO, CAS BOTH MOAN 14-14 OUTCOME Nobody is satisfied with a tie.

This was the predominant feeling here Saturday after Oregon and Oregon State battled to a 1414 tie in the 64th renewal of the “Civil War” rivalry before 27,009.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Nov. 27, 1985 NAKADA’S HEROICS SAVE DAY FOR COUGS Chet Nakada never expected to be a hero Friday. He scooted 90 yards on a record-breaking punt return over an ice-covered Civic Stadium field, pulling the Cougars past Gresham 8-2 in the quarterfinals of the state Class AAA playoffs.

The game was played in conditions Coach Clyde Powell called the worst he had ever seen.

The field was covered with ice

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet 1000’s Of Ads Every Day

and snow, leaving it practically unplayable.

Both teams had a hard time moving the ball. The Cougars offense was sentenced to life deep inside its own frozen prison.

Mountain View started series from its own 20 yard line twice, the 3 twice, the 5 and the 8. Part of the reason for that was Mountain View’s decision not to field punts, fearing a muff or a fumble in the terrible conditions.

But that changed late in the fourth quarter when it was decided to position either Nakada or Taylor Vallerga deep.

Vallerga went back, only to move up and allow Nakada back.

The Gophers punt went about 45 yards and bounced right into Nakada’s hands.

Chet was back there because he’s a solid kid,” said Powell. “He has good baseball instincts. He’s used to making quick decisions.

The decision to take it was his.”

Nakada fielded the ball, then broke left. Gresham zeroed in on him, but when Nakada turned the corner, most of the Gophers were unable to shift directions, and a few slipped to the frozen turf. He picked up a couple of great blocks from Mark Price and Randy Moss. No one was going to catch the 155-pound senior, but Nakada had to negotiate 30 yards of frozen turf, which could turn into a mine field for the Cougars dreams.

“As soon as I saw we had outside leverage on those three kids coming down, I realized he had a chance to break it. My only concern was if he fell on the 10 yard line,” said Powell.

“It didn’t bother me at all,” said Nakada of the ice. In fact, to celebrate, he tucked the ball under his arm at the 3, put on the brakes and surfed into the end zone.

“This is fantastic,” said Powell, whose team now sports a 10-2 record. “I don’t care who we play or where it’s at, as long as we’re there.”

South Korea’s ‘War on Dementia’ enlists kids

By Pam Belluck New York Times News Service

SEONGNAM, South Korea — They were stooped, hobbled, disoriented, fumbling around the house. They got confused in the bathtub and struggling up stairs that seemed to swim before them.

“Oh, it hurts,” said Noh Hyun-ho, sinking to the ground.

“I thought I was going to die,” said Yook Seo-hyun.

There was surprisingly little giggling, considering that Hyun-ho, Seo-hyun and the others were actually perfectly healthy 11-to-13-year-old children. But they had strapped on splints, weighted harnesses and fogged-up glasses, and were given tasks like “Doorknob Experience” and “Bathroom Experience,” all to help them feel what it was like to be old, frail or demented.

“Even though they are smiling for us, every day, 24 hours, is difficult for them,” Jeong Jae-hee, 12, said she learned.

It is part of a remarkable South Korean campaign to cope with an exploding problem: Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. As one of the world’s fastest-aging countries, with nearly 9 percent of its population over 65 already afflicted, South Korea has opened a “War on Dementia,” spending money and shining floodlights on a disease that is — here as in many places — riddled with shame and fear.

South Korea is training thousands of people, including children, as “dementia supporters,” to recognize symptoms and care for patients. The 11to-13-year-olds, for instance, were in the government’s “Aging-Friendly Comprehensive Experience Hall” outside Seoul. Besides the aging simulation exercise, they viewed a PowerPoint presentation defining dementia and were trained, in the hall’s Dementia Experience Center, to perform hand massage in nursing homes.

In another striking move, South Korea is also pushing to get people diagnosed early, de-

“This used to be hidden, and there is still stigma and bias,” said Kim Hye-jin, director of senior policy for the Health and Welfare Ministry. But “we want to get them out of their shells, out of their homes and diagnosed” to help families adjust and give patients “a higher chance of being taken care of at home.”

Hundreds of neighborhood dementia diagnostic centers have been created. Nursing homes have nearly tripled since 2008. Other dementia programs, providing day care and home care, have increased fivefold since 2008. Care is heavily subsidized.

To finance this, South Korea created a long-term care insurance system, paid for with 6.6 percent increases in people’s national health insurance premiums.

Nov. 8, 1974 - Nov. 23, 2010 On November 23, 2010, our world lost a loving, creative soul, Jason A. Mitchell. He was an adoring father and husband, a devoted son and brother, and a joy to all who were fortunate enough to call him friend.

Jason is survived by his wife, René; their two daughters, Adeline and Ruby Grace; his parents, Jason Mitchell George and Jean Mitchell; his sister, Sarah Mitchell; his niece, Marina Mitchell; and a large extended family.

Jason was born on November 8, 1974, in Klamath Falls, Oregon, but moved to Bend at an early age. He graduated from Mountain View High in 1992, and went on to attend University of Colorado where he received a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance.

Jason joined the Bank of the Cascades in 1996. He was a successful businessman, an active community member, a photographer, a snowboarder, a world traveler, and river guide.

To know Jason was to love him. His spirit was so strong, his heart so big, his humor so warm and inclusive. He went by many names, he wore many hats, most notably a big black Stetson. To his mother and sister, he was J. To the Old Man, he was Big Boy. On the Rogue River, he was Trip Leader or TL, taking care of the many details. To his younger friends, he was Mitchell, always up for a trip to Dandy's or a game of Madden. For so many, he was simply Banker, the friend who could always be counted on to make us smile or lead a bike parade. Regardless of what we called him, we called him. We called him when we needed to talk, when we wanted to laugh, when we needed assistance with finances, river trips, t-shirt designs, the perfect Pa Pollard, child-rearing, making pickles or jam, bonfire building, and love.

Jason loved deeply. In 2006, he married his best friend, René Bristow, otherwise known as Disco. Together, Banker and Disco were always surrounded by friends and family, an ever-growing circle. The circle remains, arms and hearts entwined, but we are missing our center spoke.

A celebration of Jason's life will be held on Tuesday, November 30, 2010, at 11:00 a.m. in the Tower Theatre. A reception will follow at the Liberty Theater Building.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Adeline & Ruby Grace Mitchell Education Fund at Bank of the Cascades.

Median Continued from B1 Last year Rodby protested the move to the city and ODOT, winning a yearlong delay of the project. Rodby, though, said he was essentially alone in arguing against the project.

The other businesses did not argue with him, often, he said, because the owners do not live in Redmond and so do not understand the issue.

“I’m not sure we couldn’t have done more if we’d gotten more business owners involved,” Rodby said.

Animals Continued from B1 “And before they get it back, it causes injury to other animals or people.”

After Jan. 1, if state officials find that someone has an exotic pet that doesn’t have a permit, that person will be required to either legally sell it or give it to someone out of state, he said.

Feb. 25, 1931 - Nov. 24, 2010

June 2, 1950 - Nov. 17, 2010

Long time Bend resident, Ann Gossett Palmer, died on November 24, 2010, with her family by her side, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was 79.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, to Leo Everett and Ruth Elizabeth Friend Gossett, Ann Ann Gossett moved to Los Palmer Angeles, California, graduating from Los Angeles High School in 1949. She and her husband, Jim, made several relocations to various cities within California, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

An avid downhill skier for most of her life, she and her husband retired to Bend, Oregon in 1991.

A nine-year pancreatic cancer survivor, Ann was diagnosed in 2008 with an unrelated, rare form of lung cancer.

Despite the challenges of these illnesses, she pursued her passions for cooking, devoting time to family and friends and traveled to locations throughout Asia, Canada, Europe and Latin America. "She never let her illness define who she was, or place limits on how she approached her life. Her optimism, courage and tenacity these past years have been inspirational to many," said daughter, Lisa Farrugia.

Devoted dog lovers, Ann and Jim actively supported the Humane Society of Central Oregon's work in building the Bend animal shelter, which opened in 2004. Ann was a member of the Friend Family Association, a historic family group with ancestral ties to the founding colonies.

As a Mayflower descendent, she also has long been a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Ann is survived by her husband of 55 years, H. James Palmer; daughters, Lynn Palmer Wittekind (husband, Dave) of River Forest, Illinois, and Lisa Palmer Farrugia (husband, John) of Libertyville, Illinois. Other survivors include her grandchildren, Karen Palmer Wittekind, Van Palmer Wittekind, James Joseph Farrugia and Anna Lynn Farrugia.

No services will be held at this time; a celebration of Ann's life will be planned at a future date. The Palmer family welcomes memorial donations made in Ann's name to Partners in Care, 2075 NE Wyatt Court, Bend, Oregon, 97701.

Baird Funeral Home of Bend is in charge of arrangements.

Warren ‘Gus’ Johnson left his beloved home, “The Lazy Karma,” to soar with the eagles on Wednesday, November 17, 2010. He was born in Sioux City, Iowa, to Warren and Mariellen Johnson on June 2, 1950.

Raised on the family farm in Sloan, Iowa, he excelled in academics and athletics. Gus earned a degree in English, with a teaching certificate from the University of South Dakota. He taught high school English in Sioux City and Roseburg, Oregon.

Gus moved to Oregon in 1980, following his love of outdoors and snow skiing. In addition to teaching English he worked weekends as a snow cat guide on Mt. Bailey.

This launched his 30-year career in his passion, ski patrolling. He patrolled at Mt. Hood Meadows, Hoodoo Ski Bowl, and Mt. Bachelor. He was a member of the Association of Professional Patrollers and served on the Board of Directors for several years contributing endless hours and energy to the advancement of education in ski patrolling. He was active in the American Avalanche Association.

Gus and Rosemary (Stephens) married in 1986, in Hood River, Oregon, and moved to Bend, Oregon in 1987.

Preceding Gus in death are his parents, and son, Robert Warren Johnson. Surviving family are his wife, Rosemary; brothers, David Johnson, Biloxi, MS, Tom Johnson (Mary), Cincinnati, OH; sisters, Helen Kelley, Scammon, KS, Georgianne Optiz (Mike), Sioux Falls, SD; and uncle, Ray Rifenbark (Patty), Roseburg, OR. Family, friends and colleagues will forever and fondly remember “FBI” on the slopes.

In lieu of flowers, at Gus’ request, please make a tax deductible donation to: Association of Professional Patrollers, PO Box 4230, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 www.propatrollers.org A celebration of Gus’ life will be held Saturday, December 4, at 3 p.m., at the Rockin’ B Ranch, 22955 Someday Way, Bend, Oregon.

Continued from B1 Most of those fees were charged before American Team Mortgage provided services, which would be a violation of state law, the lawsuit alleges.

The state also claims that American Team Mortgage violated state law by failing to register with the Department of Consumer and Business Services, and by falsely representing that it was authorized to provide debt management services in Oregon. Company President Steve Hufstedler also violated state law by making “false, misleading and deceptive statements” about his company’s experience and success rate in obtaining mortgage modifications in a video on the company’s website, according to a court document.

American Team Mortgage obtained modifications for possibly as few as two of its Oregon clients, according to the Office of the Attorney General. The state is seeking a refund for every Oregon customer who used the company, civil penalties of up to $25,000 for each violation of the state’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act, and to prevent American Team Mortgage and its employees from conducting similar business in the future in Oregon.

“Homeowners facing foreclosure need help, not false promises,” Keith Dubanevich, chief of staff and special counsel to Attorney General John Kroger, said in a news release.

Hufstedler is listed as the president of both companies on their websites, and is named in the lawsuit. Attempts to reach Hufstedler by telephone and e-mail Friday were unsuccessful.

Construction began last week on the median, but it was halted by the snowstorms. It should be completed this week.

In the week of construction, Rodby’s McDonald’s revenue has fallen by about 15 percent, compared with the same time last year, according to Rodby. He has not laid off employees, but he’s begun to trim schedules.

“I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, but guess what? You have to cut hours,” Rodby said.

Currently, Oregonians have 49 permits for 88 exotic animals, almost half of which are for wild cats like ocelots, lynx and servals, according to the state Department of Agriculture. Monkey and ape species permitted include macaques, tamarins, chimps, lemurs and vervets. And the state agency has issued three permits for exotic dogs — two different

Rodby agrees the area is unsafe, but he believes slowing the speed limit is the answer, or installing another stoplight.

ODOT, though, believes installing a crossing median helps slow traffic. Speed limit signs alone do not slow traffic, according to ODOT spokesman Peter Murphy.

“We have examples where medians do slow speeds,” Murphy said, pointing to Tumalo. “And having a median provides a refuge. The kids only have to cross half the distance (at once).”

There have not been many accidents in that area, according to Doty.

About four years ago, a car hit a high school student along that stretch, and the district built a fence along the high school property’s southern boundary, Doty said.

Other than that, it’s mostly been near misses and close calls along that portion of Highland.

“That’s added to the need to do something there,” Doty said.

Many promises, no results When Bulkley responded to American Mortgage Relief’s mailer in November 2008, he said a representative named John Vartanian — who is listed on the company’s website as a portfolio manager — convinced him the company could help him obtain a more affordable mortgage.

“When we started this, they were saying all the good things they could do for me,” Bulkley said. He had attempted to contact his lender directly, but grew frustrated when he was routed to call centers that seemed to be in other countries and were staffed by people whom he had difficulty understanding.

Time passed without any signs of progress. But still in early 2009, staff at American Mortgage Relief told Bulkley help was just around the corner.

“They were saying they knew, they just knew that they could get (the option-ARM) turned into a 4 percent loan,” Bulkley said.

But starting in March, Bulkley could no longer reach anyone at American Mortgage Relief by telephone. The attorney general’s lawsuit alleges the company effectively shut down by June.

Bulkley did stay in touch by e-mail with one woman at American Mortgage Relief, and in May, she told him only three people were running the company.

“Then I realized what was happening,” Bulkley said.

He asked for a full refund by e-mail in July, but still has not received one, according to a consumer complaint he filed with the Oregon Department of Justice.

Now, Bulkley is back on track, with a stepped, fixed-rate mortgage he obtained over the summer. He

How to avoid mortgage and foreclosure fraud Mortgage-related scams can range from phony offers of loan modification counseling or help, to cons where homeowners unknowingly sign away their homes, according to the Oregon Department of Justice website.

Recent laws passed in Oregon give homeowners certain rights when they enter foreclosure and lay out a foreclosure process that lenders must follow.

• Bills passed in 2009 and 2010 require lenders to tell homeowners that they have certain rights, including a right to request a loan modification and a right to meet with their lender, before a foreclosure sale can occur, according to Kate Medema, who handles constituent public affairs for the Oregon Attorney General’s Office.

• Homeowners can find free help with the mortgage modification process at the website www.hopenow.com, or by calling a telephone hot line staffed by federally approved credit counselors who can guide people through possible options at 888-995-HOPE. The HOPE NOW website can help you locate free counseling help or assist you in contacting your mortgage company. Oregon also has a hot line to connect homeowners with nonprofit foreclosure counselors, at 800SAFENET. • Beware of any counselor or company that guarantees to stop the foreclosure process no matter what, instructs you not to contact your lender, lawyer or credit or housing counselor, offers to fill out paperwork for you, tells you to make your mortgage payments directly to it, rather than your lender, or tells you to transfer your property deed or title to it.

• Get a description of all services and promises in writing.

Make sure you fully understand documents before you sign them, or you could inadvertently sign away your home to someone else.

• Do not pay up front. Be suspicious if a counselor demands that you make a payment before receiving services. Mortgage counselors approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provide services at little or no charge, so homeowners do not have to pay thousands, or even hundreds, of dollars for mortgage counseling.

• Make sure your counselor is approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Scammers may try to appear associated with your lender or the government.

• If you think you have been victimized, or want to notify the Oregon Department of Justice about an individual or company that may be engaging in mortgage or foreclosure rescue scams, complete a consumer complaint form online at www .doj.state.or.us/help/explain_ consumer_complaint.shtml, or call the Oregon Attorney General’s consumer hot line at 877-877-9392.

Oregon Christmas tree sellers ponder a somewhat iffy future

By Craig Reed The (Roseburg) News-Review

ROSEBURG — The Christmas tree tradition is under way again in Douglas County and the state of Oregon. Sales of trees for the holiday season began in earnest on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

There’ll be parking lot sales with some groups selling trees as fundraisers. Big-box stores will have trees for sale. And there are some choose-and-cut (u-cut) tree farms.

Local growers say, however, that there have been some changes in recent years, specifically that several mom-and-pop Christmas tree operations have closed up shop. The reasons vary from the growers getting older to a surplus of trees to big corporate tree farms taking over most of the markets, specifically the big-box stores. The reason that there’s now a surplus of trees is because seven or eight years ago when the market for trees was good, several bigger operations put more of their acreage into trees. Those trees are now ready for harvest.

“It’s harder for the smaller guy to find a market for his trees due to the economy and bigger growers making deals with bigger businesses,” said Ken Bunt, of Roseburg. Bunt grows trees in the Yoncalla and Scio areas.

“There’s less small tree farms,” said Kim Adams, who, with husband Phil, owns the Oakland Tree Farm. “Every year we see a few more go.”

‘I don’t have the market’ Wayman Schmidt, who has been in the Christmas tree business in the Camas Valley area since 1975, said just a few years ago he harvested and sold 20,000 trees. But in the last three or four years his operation has cut and sold only 8,000 to 9,000 trees.

“I have the trees now that could be going to market, but I don’t have the market,” he said. “It’s a bad situation because of three or four big outfits up north sucking up all the customers. They’re

Phil Adams, owner of Oakland Tree Farm, says his wholesale business to a volunteer fire department in California and to a landscaping business in Boise, Idaho, has dropped to half what it was. putting out a million plus trees a year apiece and have taken over all the chain store markets. The little guys are going out of business. They’re dying like flies.”

Phil Adams said his wholesale business to a volunteer fire department in California and to a landscaping business in Boise, Idaho, has dropped in half in the last few years to 350 trees to each market. Kim Adams said she thinks the struggling economy in recent years has had an impact on the wholesale Christmas tree business, and “people just don’t want to put out those kind of dollars.”

U-cut hopes The Adamses think the u-cut tree business will remain strong because “people are tired of being blue.”

“Maybe there’s not a lot of presents, but there’ll be a tree,” said Kim Adams.

At the Oakland Tree Farm, ucut prices will range from $3 a foot to $5, depending on the type of tree selected.

At Schmidt’s tree farm on the west side of Camas Valley, the price is $15 for a tree and a few dollars more for a noble fir,

depending on its size.

“The u-pick business has picked up quite a bit,” said Schmidt. “We’re seeing more people from the coast.”

For people who want to venture out into the woods for a tree, Umpqua National Forest and Bureau of Land Management permits at $5 each are available.

How many people buy those permits is usually dictated by the weather, and subsequently will affect business at u-pick farms and lot sales.

“If there’s a lot of snow in the forest, tree lots do pretty well,” said Bunt. “If you can get to the woods easily, the lots don’t do as well.”

Oregon continues to be the nation’s biggest producer of Christmas trees, harvesting about 7.8 million annually and supporting an industry with a value of $110 million.

Overall, the top destination continues to be California, with about half of the 2009 sales going to that state. Mexico is the state’s biggest foreign customer of trees. Trees are also trucked to many other states in the U.S. and to several Pacific Rim countries, with deliveries beginning early in November.

After sunrise, a thrilling ride down Maui’s giant volcano

Being Temple Grandin

By Christopher Reynolds Los Angeles Times

HALEAKALA, Hawaii — Every day, about an hour after first light hits the green hillsides of upcountry Maui, the spokes begin to sing.

If you stand along the road by Sunrise Market in the hamlet of Kula, you’ll first hear the buzz, then with a whoosh the bicycles come “Normally, around the bend: tourists by the dozen, their heads encased in I do a heavy-duty helmets, their bod- hard cycle ies wrapped in rain suits, their speed about 20 mph. They’re to work, riding 27 miles, following about commuting two dozen switchbacks, rolling through past hardened lava and cane fields, fruit stands, lazy live- London stock and three small towns. traffic.

On a busy day, 300 of these riders come around the bend, — Tim Clark, tempted by a simple, powerful, participant in a double-barreled idea: to see guided bike ride sunrise from the lip of Haleakala, a 10,000-foot Hawaiian volcano, then glide down the slope to the sea.

Yet this ride can hurt you or even kill you.

In February, a 64-year-old rider from Mankato, Minn., died of head injuries after she crashed (she was wearing a helmet) into an embankment near the town of Makawao.

Temple Grandin says that while others may view autism as a disability, for her it was a talent that gave her insight into how animals think. She used those insights to write her books “Animals in Translation” and “Animals Make Us Human.”

Influential author, animal behavior expert and subject of Emmy-winning movie coming to Bend

By Penny Nakamura • For The Bulletin

A

s an author of several books, a consultant to large corporations, including McDonald’s restaurants, and one of Time Magazine’s top 100 Most Influential People in 2010, Temple

If you go What: Oregon Cattlemen Welcome Temple Grandin When: 10:30 a.m. Saturday Where: The Riverhouse, 3075 N. Highway 97, Bend Cost: $10 general admission tickets available at door; $15 half-day registration for OCA’s convention will guarantee a seat Contact: Kay Teisl at 503-361-8941, ext. 11

Grandin’s accomplishments are nothing short of astounding, especially when you consider she’s autistic.

Grandin will be in Bend on Saturday to address the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association. The speech is open to the public (see “If you go”).

Diagnosed with autism as a child, Grandin says she didn’t start speaking until she was almost 5 years old.

Her parents were advised to put her into an institution. Thankfully for the world of autism and the livestock industry, they balked and didn’t take that doctor’s advice.

Grandin, 63, has earned a doctorate in animal science and is generally regarded as an authority not only in autism, but also animal behavioral science. She has designed more humane livestock sorting shoots and gentler handling techniques.

According to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, about half of the cattle processing plants in the country now use her handling techniques and design model for sorting cattle.

Getting to this place in her life has taken not just intelligence and hard work, but true grit.

“Yes, I’d say I had to work 110 percent, not just 100 percent. It was so much harder for me,” said Grandin, who was speaking to The Bulletin by phone, as she was hurrying to catch a flight. “I had to be tutored through math. That was hard. But the designing stuff? That was easy for me.”

Grandin attributes her designing success to her autism, which she says allows her to see things in pictures. She tries to describe this talent by asking the question: “When I say church steeple, what do you think about?” she asks. “Most people will envision a general church steeple, but I see many different types of steeples in great detail.”

Grandin says her autism made her socially awkward, which was painfully apparent in middle school and high school, where she says she was frequently bullied.

“Have you seen my movie yet?” asks Grandin, referring to the HBO documentary about her life.

Most mornings, hundreds of visitors arrive at the summit between 5 and 6 a.m. to watch the sun rise over the rim of Haleakala Volcano on Maui, about 10,000 feet above sea level.

“I think in pictures, and so do animals. That’s how they process things. … … I got down on my hands and knees on the ranches and processing plants, to see what they see, to see what spooked them. I saw we could do this more humanely.”

Driver is a wreck Baby talk on sitcoms: good or bad? due to wife’s advice

By Yvonne Villarreal Los Angeles Times

Dear Abby: My wife is a backseat driver who seems to get more anxious every time we go anywhere together. She tells me to slow down, which lights to watch, which lane I should be in, which cars are braking, which ones are speeding, where the semi-trucks are if she thinks they’re getting too close, and how to drive in various weather. She’ll move her foot to an imaginary brake on the passenger side, squirm in her seat and hang onto the handle above the passenger door while I’m doing my best to concentrate on my driving. It’s very distracting.

My wife is not willing to drive when we’re going somewhere, although I have offered to let her.

She also refuses to sit back and relax because you can’t control another person’s driving. If I ignore her, she becomes irritated and says I’m not paying attention to her concerns. I have never had a serious accident and have had none in the past 15 years. What can I do about this?

— Driven Crazy in Wisconsin Dear Driven: For openers, slow down! When a passenger hangs onto the handle above the door, slams on an imaginary brake and scrunches back in the passenger seat, it means you’re approaching the car ahead of you too fast and the person is bracing for impact.

Next, make clear to your wife before you pull out of the driveway that what she has been doing is distracting to the point that instead of averting an accident, she could very well cause one — so it’s important she leave the driving to the driver. If she is still uncomfortable, she should either sit in the back seat or the two of you should drive separately.

Dear Abby: I have four granddaughters ranging in age from 8 months to 9 years. What can we do to help them become confident, self-assured women?

— Grandma Linda in Shelby, Ala.

DEAR ABBY Dear Grandma Linda: Spend time with them, listen to them and let them know you love them.

Dear Abby: I am the mother of the groom. My husband and I are hosting the rehearsal dinner. The bride’s mother informed me that she is going to have a slide show of the bride’s and groom’s baby pictures at the dinner.

What do you think of this practice? I thought she should have at least asked my permission. I did tell her I was not a fan of the idea because I was at a reception where it was done and the comments from the guests were not complimentary. Please comment.

— Tasteful Mom in New York Dear Tasteful Mom: I think showing the bride’s and groom’s baby pictures at the rehearsal dinner would be rather sweet. I’m sure they will elicit many “Awws” and “Weren’t they cute!” And the guests will be limited to the bridal party and out-of-town guests, a smaller crowd than would attend the wedding reception.

Because your in-law-to-be won’t be able to get her hands on photos of your son without your cooperation, select some you like to share.

If you don’t, it will cause hard feelings. And yes, she should have asked permission. Chalk up the fact that she didn’t to her excitement and a desire to contribute.

LOS ANGELES — There’s a very visible baby bump on the set of “How I Met Your Mother,” but no one’s paying it much attention. In a flashback scene for an upcoming episode, the ever-present narrator’s memory is lapsing and he can’t recall whether Lily (Alyson Hannigan) was pregnant during the moment he’s recounting. As Lily spars with Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), her burgeoning belly remains unmentioned, serving simply as a resting spot for a plate of Chinese food.

Now in its sixth season, the show is toying with the idea of employing a device much belabored in sitcom land: the addition of a baby.

A due date is still unknown — and for some fans, that’s OK. Much of the appeal of the CBS sitcom has centered on the interminable mystery of whom Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) will ultimately marry. But suspense can hold viewers’ interest for only so long before it grows frustrating.

Baby talk has loomed over the series for a while, with longtime couple Lily and Marshall (Jason Segel) flirting with parenthood much of this season.

And in fact, hints of a coming pregnancy stretch as far back as fall 2009, when, in a flash forward, Ted tells his kids how his friends quit smoking: Lily stopped once she started trying to get pregnant and Marshall quit when his son was born. Even if the stork doesn’t drop by this season, it’s fated to happen eventually.

“I think we’d be super cute with a baby,” Segel said during

Is Lily (Alyson Hannigan) pregnant on “How I Met Your Mother”? The show’s producers are proceeding with caution. a set break. “We’d be like those people in the photos that come in picture frames.”

Still, the show’s producers are proceeding with caution.

“There’s fear: Will it limit us?

Will the show lose something?” said executive producer Craig Thomas. “However, the idea of opening up whole other stories is exciting.”

Of course, there’s that teeny tiny issue of shark jumping: In prime

time, infants have a mixed record.

Some lamented that Murphy Brown lost her snarky edge after she gave birth at the end of the show’s fourth season. Others found that “Mad About You” got only more maddening after Paul and Jamie welcomed a daughter near the end of the show’s run. Then there was “Roseanne,” which decided to add a fourth kid — named Jerry Garcia — to its household in its seventh season.

“I think it’s thought of as a potential death knell to a show,” Thomas said. “But at the same time, the series is all about growing up, so to not address it, to not see this couple who has been together since age 18 get to that point would seem dishonest.”

The series isn’t alone in its baby quest. Scour the television landscape and peewee youngsters are rampant. A little tyke was recently added to NBC’s “The Office,” shortly after Jim and Pam

completed another TV convention — getting married. “Dexter’s” bundle of joy came in the form of baby Harrison, while another Showtime series, “Weeds,” shows Nancy trying to protect her newborn from his drug lord father.

CBS comedy “Rules of Engagement,” now in its fifth season, is also feeling a bit fertile, with Jeff and Audrey Bingham (played by Patrick Warburton and Megyn Price) looking to conceive via a surrogate. It was a move that initially concerned Price.

“She was worried it might ruin the show,” said creator Tom Hertz, who later added, “I looked back at every episode we’ve done and asked whether there were any episodes we couldn’t have done with an unseen baby in the second bedroom. And there was barely any. … The entire series doesn’t have to suddenly stop because there’s a baby — that happens in real life, not TV.”

P P Halloween treats passed out in safety I would like to thank the La Pine Park and Recreation District and the La Pine Chamber of Commerce for the Halloween “Trunk or Treat” program.

It was especially gratifying to see parents bring their children to one place for “trick or treat” and be sure that they were safe. Those of us passing out treats were able to enjoy the youngsters and the variety of costumes as they went from trunk to trunk to collect treats.

I, along with La Pine councilors Barbara Hedges and Adele McAfee, handed out treats provided by the city of La Pine. We had a great time doing it, and I personally look forward to doing it again next Halloween.

Once again, thank you La Pine Park and Recreation and Chamber for another excellent program for the La Pine community.

Show business news gets a revamped act

By Ben Fritz Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — On the Thursday before the Academy Awards last March, Morgan Freeman, Eva Longoria Parker and Ryan Seacrest mixed with well-known show business executives such as former NBC co-Chairman Ben Silverman at the home of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

The occasion was a party thrown by the Hollywood Reporter, an 80-year-old trade newspaper that covers insider entertainment news for industry professionals.

One attendee was distinctly unimpressed by the event: Richard Beckman, the new chief executive of the Reporter’s parent company, derided the party in front of staffers because it lacked the glamour and A-list attendees he expected.

“I was used to the Vanity Fair Oscars party,” Beckman later said, referring to the lavish annual event thrown by his former employer, magazine conglom-

erate Conde Nast. “I thought it could have been a lot better.”

Beckman thinks a lot of things about the Hollywood Reporter could be better. Since the private-equity-backed firm he leads acquired it and six sister publications for about $75 million in December, the longtime No. 2 show business paper — behind Daily Variety — has been completely revamped. Former Us Weekly editor Janice Min was named editorial director, the staff has grown 50 percent to about 100 and this month the Reporter replaced its daily paper with a weekly glossy magazine.

The Reporter’s revamp carries many risks, most notably launching a costly new publication in a tough market for print media that is just starting to show signs of recovery.

“What’s happening is a result of the fact that the trades were a victim of their own neglect,” said Min. “It has been an industry press not commensurate in stature to the industry itself.”

Caves, Coppola, cuisine and culture It’s all there in an Italian interlude awash in luxury

By Gisela Williams New York Times News Service

It was early evening in Matera, a city in the southern Italian region of Basilicata, and swallows circled the sky, their melodious calls interrupted only by the clanking of bells worn by cows drinking from a stream deep within a canyon.

On the other side of the canyon was old Matera, an area so ancient that it was used to portray Judea in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ.” Often called the Sassi (which means stone), or the City of Stone, this part of Matera is a maze of caves, churches — some dating back to Roman times — zigzagging steps and stone facades carved from a massive slope of yellowed tufa.

Just after my family and I checked into a new hotel called Sextantio Albergo Diffuso Le Grotte Della Civita, we noticed an elderly couple climbing the hotel’s worn stone stairs. The pair, dressed in their Sunday best, entered the hotel’s stone terrace through a metal gate. In the lobby, we heard the man, Francesco Di Cecce, introduce himself to the manager and explain that he and his wife had come to visit his childhood home. Curious, we followed them as they found their way to Suite 10. “I was born here in 1939,” Di Cecce said as he opened the thick wooden door to a cave that went back about 60 feet.

Part of Matera, Italy, was used to portray Judea in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ.” Often called the Sassi (which means stone), or the City of Stone, it features an impressive array of caves and stone facades.

In his e-mail, Coppola described the charm of Basilicata: “It’s hard to dig a hole in the ground anywhere, without discovering an ancient Greek vase or shard. The wine is great. The olive oil is great. The food is unique. There are things eaten that are unknown anywhere else in Italy.”

Tasty wanderings It takes a passionate food explorer to get to Luna Rossa, a restaurant so off the map that one should almost bring along some spare fuel. Along the winding drive through the Pollino National Park to the blink-and-you’ll-driveby-it village of Terranova di Pollino, it becomes clear why some of Basilicata’s recipes have never left the province.

“Some of the towns in Basilicata are so secluded that you can sometimes find dishes that haven’t changed much since pagan times,” said Federico Valicenti, Luna Rossa’s chef and owner, a self-proclaimed culinary anthropologist.

That particular day in May he served his guests a meal that included thinly sliced salami made from acorn-eating pigs raised in Pollino; tapparelle, a local earshaped pasta, served with hard ricotta cheese and lemon rind; a roasted goat dish that was inspired by a medieval recipe; and pork served with eggs and local caciocavallo cheese. On the Luna Rossa wine list were dozens of Aglianico del Vulture wines, an ancient red grape variety originally from Greece, grown on the slopes of an extinct volcano in northwest Basilicata.

Although Valicenti searches for inspiration in medieval and Renaissance texts, he said his recipes are his own interpretations of historic dishes. “I make them lighter and use modern cooking

popular with well-traveled locals like Roberto Martino and his companion, Angelo Bianco, who drove 45 minutes from Matera to eat there. Originally from Basilicata, the two moved to Florence where they hosted contemporary art happenings. About four years ago they decided to return to Basilicata to run SoutHeritage, a contemporary art foundation that organizes pop-up modern

art exhibitions in historic spaces throughout Basilicata.

Martino recalled that the first few shows seemed to attract locals who were looking more for free food and wine than art.

“Modern ideas take time to be accepted here,” he said. “We’re at least 60 years behind northern Italy.” Then, he added with a laugh, “Although sometimes it seems like centuries.”

techniques,” he said.

At the newly opened Hotel Torre Fiore, a 10-minute drive from the small hilltop city of Pisticci, the addictive ricotta cheese served at the breakfast buffet is made by a local cheese artisan whose family has been making ricotta for six generations. The hotel’s chef, in turn, uses it to make a simple but memorable ricotta mousse.

The hotel, surrounded by wildflowers and fields of grain, was once a masseria (a farmhouse with fortified walls typical of southern Italy) built by a wealthy landowner. Now it is a dream realized by the current owner, John Giannone, who was born in Pisticci, but emigrated to Toronto. It was originally planned as a vacation home for his family, but his middle-aged children became so enthusiastic about the area’s potential that they decided to turn it into a boutique hotel with a pool and 13 suites.

The Torre Fiore’s restaurant is

Ride Continued from C1 She wasn’t the first. Since it first popped up in the 1980s, the volcano-ride trade has grown into a full-fledged industry, fallen into crisis amid a spate of injuries and deaths, then righted itself again. As many as 90,000 customers a year ride down Haleakala, typically paying $115 to $150 each for a sunrise tour and guided ride.

So how does it work, this balancing of risk and thrill on two wheels? One morning in late October, I signed on to find out.

An early start At 2:45 a.m. — yes, you read that right — a bike-tour van picked me up at my hotel along the island’s western shore. After a stop to collect equipment and sign release forms with about a dozen fellow riders, we made the two-hour drive through the darkness to the top of Haleakala, passing the eerie glow of cane fires as we went. (Workers burn dried cane leaves in the fields as part of the harvest.)

At 5:15 a.m., we stepped out near the top, 9,740 feet above sea level, and into a parking lot crowded with hundreds of bundled-up tourists, a dawn of 40-degree gusts, numb digits, swirling clouds and volcanic moonscape, all of which erupted in golden light when the sun hurled its first beams at us from the horizon.

Locals note that many winter sunrises are rain-soaked and cloudbound, but this one was well worth the early wake.

For the seven bike-tour companies with permits to offer sunrise viewing and downhill rides, the day’s adventure was just getting started.

At 7:30 a.m., after transport to our starting point just outside the national park (about 6,500 feet above sea level), we saddled up and got a stern safety briefing from guides Everett Bennett (driving) and Joshua Sisson (riding). I chose Cruiser Phil’s, a small 12-year-old outfit, because it had done well in a 2008 National Park Service safety study (www.nps.gov/hale/parkmgmt/ bikesafety.htm).

“I need you to ride defensively,” Sisson said. “I don’t mind if you take a quick glance at the view, but not on the hairpin turns. We’ve got a problem with guys getting halfway around these bends, whipping around and chatting with the dude behind them, and then missing the second half of the turn and going

If you go B IKING HALEAKALA Seven companies on Maui hold permits to offer bike tours that begin with van or bus trips to sunrise viewings atop Haleakala. The guided rides go from the edge of Haleakala National Park to sea level, a 6,500foot descent over about 27 miles of two-lane public roads.

Among the companies offering guided bike tours: Maui Downhill, www.mauidownhill.com; Mountain Riders, www.mountainriders.com; and Maui Mountain Cruisers, www .mauimountaincruisers.com; Cruiser Phil’s Volcano Riders, www .cruiserphil.com; and Bike It Maui, www.bikeitmaui.com.

Two companies also offer sunrise tours with unguided bike rides: Haleakala Bike Co., www.bikemaui .net; and Maui Sunriders, www .mauibikeride.com.

These companies offer other rides at other times, some unguided. Five companies do escorted rides; two offer unguided rides. Prices typically run from $115-$150 for sunrise tours, but discounts are common.

Rides that begin later (or exclude the volcano rim visit) cost substantially less. And besides these companies, many others offer bike rentals.

Downhill bike-tour groups on Maui usually include about a dozen riders, with a leader riding in front and a support van driving behind. Here, riders cross back over the road after a scenic viewing stop.

Temperatures on the rim of Haleakala Volcano at sunrise can be 30 degrees lower than on Maui’s shoreline, but sunrises still draw hundreds of viewers, many of whom will go on to ride bikes most of the way down the mountainside. Some folks come wrapped up with hotel bed blankets not having brought winter wear on their Hawaii vacation. off the side of the road. I’ve seen it happen.”

Then, bundled up in jackets, gloves, rain suits and motocross helmets with chin-protectors, we rolled. Our one-speed Worksman bikes were heavy (why worry about weight when you’re going downhill?) and featured heavyduty brakes.

A safer trip What many cyclists don’t realize is that three years ago, this was a different ride.

In the old days — that is, from the 1980s until late 2007 — the classic Haleakala downhill route was 38 miles, not 27, and it began where those sunbeams struck us at the volcano’s lip. The first 11 miles were inside park boundaries, and they were fairly nasty, descending about 3,500 feet through a series of tight turns, with jagged rocks at the edge of the blacktop.

But tourists wanted to ride it anyway, including many who were overmatched. By 2007, about 90,000 riders a year were signing onto Haleakala downhill tour groups, and rangers were handling an average of five injury accidents every month.

On Sept. 26, 2007, a 65-year-old woman on a bike tour lost control on a curve near the summit, crossed the center line, collided with another company’s tour van, and died. By the park service’s tally, her death was the second within a year involving guided commercial downhill bicycle tours. Soon after, Marilyn Parris, then the park superintendent, temporarily banned commercial bike tours within the park.

In the months that followed, a compromise emerged: The volcano-bike tour buses would be allowed to carry their customers to the top of Haleakala for sunrise, but they would ferry their customers back down to 6,500 feet — just outside the park entrance — before beginning their rides. Below the park, the road isn’t as steep, the turns aren’t as sharp and the roadside isn’t as rocky.

Three years later, while park of-

ficials continue to work on a longterm commercial-services plan, those rules still hold for all biketour companies. (Individuals can still ride from the top, but few do.)

The result, locals say, is less biketour traffic and fewer accidents.

“It was crazy before,” said Ben Hokoana, a veteran guide with Maui Mountain Cruisers. “Much safer now.”

The Maui Police Department, which counted about two cycling injury accidents a month in the area in the mid-2000s, reported 10 in all of 2008, 19 in 2009, and five injury accidents — plus the one fatality — in the first nine months of 2010. Moreover, a police spokesman said, most of those accidents involved independent cyclists, not tours. Among tens of thousands of tour-group riders, police figures showed just nine injury accidents — and the one fatality — since January 2008.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, November 28, 2010 C5 Many companies stop for breakfast in Kula. On the right side of the road sits the Sunrise Country Market and Protea Farm, which in the old days specialized in bikers’ lunches. These days, the bikes arrive sooner, and the main meal is breakfast, with chickens meandering underfoot as riders carry coffee and snacks from the cash register to a set of shaded picnic tables.

Just a few hundred yards farther along on the left, other groups stop at the Kula Lodge, a proper indoor restaurant with a fireplace, panoramic views, a gift shop, an art gallery, a fancy patio in back and several comfortable guest rooms. (If you have dinner and spend the night here, you can sleep until 5 and still make a 6:15 sunrise up top.)

We blew right past these places.

The Cruiser Phil philosophy is to get down the hill before eating a full breakfast. By 9 a.m., we’d dropped down to about 1,600 feet above sea level and the artsy outskirts of Makawao, where our guides waved us over and loaded our bikes into the trailer.

This wasn’t the end. Rather than annoy his neighbors by further clogging the main drag, Cruiser Phil has taken to busing his customers through the town, whose commercial strip of several blocks is full of galleries, boutiques, restaurants and cars pulling in and out. (Locals call Makawao a cowboy town, because it’s neighbored by a cattle ranch and it hosts a Fourth of July rodeo.)

‘Very smooth ride’ By the time we reached Kula, 3,200 feet above sea level, I was running low on things to worry about. The grade was about 5 percent, and it felt gentle, perhaps because of the good visibility and the surrounding beauty, perhaps because the road was so smooth.

In all of the city of Los Angeles, I doubt I could find 27 miles of blacktop in such great shape.

Traffic was thin. Though the route was on public roads and though some upcountry locals complain about cyclists snarling traffic, I saw mostly open road and probably more bikes than automobiles. When cars turned up behind us, we pulled over and let them pass.

Besides me (a once-a-month rider in the last days of his 40s), our group included a couple of young newlyweds, a 40ish man from England and a middle-aged couple from San Bernardino County, Calif. — everyone was between the ages of 15 and 65, all less than 270 pounds and nobody pregnant, as Cruise Phil’s paperwork stipulates. Everyone looked comfortable on two wheels — and because I rode last in the singlefile line, I got a good look.

“Very smooth ride,” said Rick Bell, of Rancho Cucamonga, a few spots ahead of me. This might be what prompted me to ask Sisson the record for the fastest topto-bottom ride.

“Fifty-eight minutes,” he said immediately. “And you’ve got to weigh more than 320 pounds to beat that record.” (The record-setting ride, Sisson explained later, was achieved several years ago at a “banzai race” staged by local riders on a night when the moon was full. I’m guessing no park rangers or police were invited.)

miles or so, Sisson told us to keep our mouths shut. Bugs, he said, are attracted to the neighboring cane and pineapple fields, and it’s never fun to swallow one at 20 mph. Sure enough, zipping past the open fields and the stone walls of an old church, I felt little winged creatures bouncing off my cheeks.

And then, in what seemed like no time at all, it was 9:45 a.m., and we were pulling into the parking lot of the Holy Rosary Church in Paia, about a mile from the beach.

We were done. Subtracting standing-around time, we had averaged 24 mph.

“Normally, I do a hard cycle to work, commuting through London traffic,” said fellow rider Tim Clark. “Not pedaling, you just feel like a kid again, grinning side to side for 28 miles.”

As the crew loaded the bikes into the trailer and sorted helmets, we were free to check out the church shrine to Father Damien (who tended the lepers on Molokai in the late 19th century).

Then we went on to choose breakfast places in the T-shaped tourist-and-surfer town of Paia. I went with crepes on the patio of Cafe Des Amis.

But what I really wanted was 20 more miles of empty upcountry roads and an encore from those singing spokes.

Do You Suffer from Sinusitis?

See a Board Certified Allergist/Immunologist.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the cavities within the cheek bones around the eyes and behind the nose. While most common in the winter, Sinusitis may last for months if inadequately treated. Sinusitis may affect the nose, eyes, or middle ear, and may be indicated by plentiful, thick; colored nasal drainage, post-nasal drip, cough, head/ear/nasal congestion and headache.

Types of Sinusitis Acute, which is often caused by a bacterial infection as a complication of a cold. Symptoms last less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis last eight weeks or longer. Recurrent sinusitis is three or more episodes of acute sinusitis per year.

Although colds are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, it is more likely that people with allergies will develop sinusitis. Allergies can trigger inflammation of the sinuses & nasal mucous linings, preventing the sinus cavities from clearing out bacteria, increasing your chances of developing sinusitis.

It is important to seek maximal medical treatment before resorting to surgery.

Patients you should see an allergist/immunologist if you: • Have chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis despite initial treatment by their primary care provider. • Have concurrent asthma and hayfever • Have other infections such as recurrent ear infections, bronchitis or pneumonia We accept Medicare and most insurances

Combs accommodate a number of hairstyles and are enjoying a surge in popularity. One distributor of combs and brushes estimates U.S. sales have doubled in the past year.

Combs make a comeback as guys tidy up their looks

By David Colman New York Times News Service

In the past couple of years, the tops of men’s heads have provided one of those ironies that make fashion so endearingly silly. It started in the late 1990s, when fashionably antifashion guys began leaving their hair messy and matted, as if they had just rolled out of bed. A product even appeared called Bed Head to help naturally neat hair fall into a perfect rat’s nest.

But as au naturel as the look began, it became forced as this decade wore on. The hairstyle — notably atop the likes of Zac Efron, Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert — started to look spiky and artificial enough to be a cell phone tower in the AT&T 3G network. Is it any surprise that Don Draper of “Mad Men” has become today’s most talked-about style icon?

Sure, he’s a chain-smoking philanderer with an assumed identity and a future in Alcoholics Anonymous — and is a fictional character to boot. But his hair looks amazing. And he can thank his trusty pocket comb for that.

“Combs have really taken off,”

said Steven King, a distributor for Kent, the venerable British maker of combs and brushes, who estimated that his U.S. sales have doubled in the past year — and the goods aren’t cheap.

Combs average $6 to $25; brushes start at $50 and run to $400.

“The shorter hairstyles are very in,” he said, “and guys want to look neat.”

Draper, staunch character that he is, sticks to one hairstyle: neat on the sides, longer on top, tapered in back. But the comb is a friend to any number of styles.

There is the classic military “high and tight,” a crew cut on top, buzzed on the sides; the Elvis, a 1950s rockabilly style with a pompadourish top and short sides; the Steve McQueen, short all over but longer than a crew cut; the greaser, lubed up and combed straight back. And longer hair can be styled in different ways: straight back, side-parted and off to the side.

While the grandfatherly bureau-top brushes and combs have come back, old-fashioned hair lotions have not. Brilliantines and pomades are either too oily, too

heavy or too hard to wash out with shampoo. (And how many beauty products can be said to have influenced interior design?

The antimacassars on old sofas were “anti” because of a Victorian-era hair dressing known as macassar oil.) And as for that 1950s favorite, Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya in.

Even at retro barbershops, modern grooming products are the rule. Davines Wonder Wax, Aveda Liquid Pomade, Bumble and bumble Sumo Tech, Malin+Goetz Sage Styling Cream and Kiehl’s Malleable Molding Paste are just some of the products used for getting the look right without it being stiff and brittle or heavy and greasy.

But since so many products are tailored to personal preferences and different kinds of hair, it is up to each man to find his dream goop. How? Ask your pharmacist.

“It’s amazing how much the guys who come in here know about product now,” said Ian Ginsberg, the president of the C.O. Bigelow pharmacy in New York. “We used to educate them.

Now they educate us.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 28, 2010: This year, you move into a new realm, where your efforts become better received within your community, circle and/or workplace. Inevitably, gain will follow. Many of you will be reorganizing your financial structure. As always, use care with your investments. If you are single, you naturally meet many people this year. Cupid will be hanging out in your neighborhood this coming spring. His arrow just might hit you. If you are attached, the two of you could be getting a new addition at this same period.

You will be extremely amorous.

VIRGO admires your abilities but doesn’t hesitate to push you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Maintain an easy pace, especially after the past few days.

Socializing can be as wearing as working. Take an overview of what is happening, and let others do their thing. A movie would be fine.

Tonight: Think “organization.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your ability to touch others and make what you want happen emerges. Single and attached Tauruses demonstrate a childlike and open quality that draws many people toward them. Rethink a trip. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Tension could build, if you let it. Why not just opt to be a couch potato? Or vanish into your Sunday paper? A partner comes forward. He or she would really like to share some quality time with you.

Tonight: Still close to the pad.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Speak your mind. This time, a partner, close friend or loved one — though holding variant views — sees your logic.

Open up and swap ideas and jokes over an animated meal.

Catch up on a friend’s news, too!

Tonight: Hanging out is fun to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Use your innate sense of costs when making a wise choice. An expenditure might make your daily life easier or more pleasurable. Consider revamping a pattern in your life, perhaps switching the hours you work or changing gyms. Tonight: Treat yourself to a favorite restaurant.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Finally energized, you feel that you can take on nearly anything. Your creativity mixes well with your intellect. Others naturally gravitate toward you, your ideas and your plans.

Step out and let others know who you are. Tonight: Making the most of the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more understanding. In a situation, imagine how the other person feels and how he or she got to this point. Through this exercise, you’ll gain empathy. Tonight: Try a new restaurant with friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A partner evokes a strong response in a discussion. By being more in sync, you are able to take a new first step. You will empower each other. A friendship demands more time than you might like to give. Tonight: Enjoy this special person over dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are more receptive than you have been in a while.

A friend, perhaps because of this newfound easiness, could do a reversal. Let this person react. Meanwhile, do your thing.

Grandin Continued from C1 “When Claire Danes, who plays me, is taunted and teased in high school — it was just like that for me.”

Grandin says the movie — “Temple Grandin,” which earned seven Emmy Awards and is now out on DVD — is accurate.

“Temple Grandin is the first person with autism to tell us what it’s like to be autistic. She put it in words, in several books, and she tells us exactly what it feels like. Before Grandin, we could only guess what they were feeling. She tells us how autistic people think, or what it feels like for them to be in a crowded situation where they get sensory overload.”

‘Game changer’

— Katherine Proctor, autism specialist for the High Desert Education Service District

“Game changer” is how Katherine Proctor, autism specialist for the High Desert Education Service District, describes Grandin, because of her ability to redefine society’s thoughts on what is possible for those with autism.

“Temple Grandin is the first person with autism to tell us what it’s like to be autistic. She put it in words, in several books, and she tells us exactly what it feels like. Before Grandin, we could only guess what they were feeling,” explains Proctor, who says Grandin’s books about autism are at the core of the work she and her team do every day. “She tells us how autistic people think, or what it feels like for them to be in a crowded situation where they get sensory overload.”

Overstimulation from crowds and loud noises is extremely stressful for autistics, and Grandin says she hopes more research will be done in this area. To address the problem, Grandin designed what she calls her “hug machine” in college, which calms her down during stressful times.

It’s essentially a squeeze box that places pressure on a person to calm him or her.

Grandin says she borrowed the idea for this machine from something she saw on her aunt’s Arizona cattle ranch, which she frequently visited.

She saw cows being brought into a pen one at a time, with side gate walls placing gentle pressure on both sides of the cow. It was used to steady the cow for various things, such as vaccinations.

Grandin observed how it seemed to calm each cow.

Grandin says when her parents were advised to institutionalize her, there was no bridging the gap between the autistic child and the world.

Proctor believes Grandin’s impact has not only bridged that gap, but has shown the world what is possible for some on the autism spectrum.

Grandin herself says that

Temple Grandin says that although her lecture in Bend will focus on the cattle industry, she can’t help but talk about how autism has played a role in her life.

though she still says there should be higher expectations for autistics. “We need to still teach those with autism and Asperger’s the basic, old-fashioned 1950’s-style manners. That’s what my parents taught me, it’s a basic life skill. I had one parent come up to me the other day, saying they excused their son from cleaning his room because he has Asperger’s, and I told him, ‘No, that’s wrong. Your child should be able to clean his own room or even sit through church. You can’t use that as an excuse to get away with bad behavior.’ You have to be socialized, you shouldn’t lower basic manners. They have to know that for life.”

Grandin, who usually wears her trademark fancy embroidered cowboy shirts with pearl snaps, minces no words. Part of it is because of autism, and part of it is because she has no time to waste.

Grandin says that although her lecture Saturday in Bend will focus on the cattle industry, being an autistic, she can’t help but tell people how the two are intertwined in her life. She says she

couldn’t have become an expert on livestock without the autism.

Another message Grandin says she wants to get out there: Handson education is critically important for autistic kids.

“I hate hearing about school districts cutting back on things like wood working, art, sewing and auto shop, things that are hands-on, because I would’ve died without those kinds of classes in school,” said Grandin.

“That’s how autistic children learn, by doing these practical things. I had a science teacher who had us do hands-on scientific projects that taught us how practical things work. That changed my life forever.”

Livestock to education “half the Silicon Valley is autistic. Those smart, geeky kids that weren’t very social and have mild personality problems are the brilliant engineers that are developing the new technology.”

That said, she also believes most people on the autism spectrum are never diagnosed, but are often termed “nerdy.” Those who are diagnosed are often labeled, which can hold them back, she said, although it shouldn’t.

Animal insights Where others may view autism as a disability, Grandin says for her it was her talent that gave her insight into how animals think. She used this knowledge to write her books “Animals in Translation” and “Animals Make Us Human.” Grandin teaches low-stess handling techniques on farms and ranches through-

out the country.

“I think in pictures, and so do animals. That’s how they process things,” says Grandin, who did much of her hands-on research in the rough-and-tumble world of ranches. “I got down on my hands and knees on the ranches and processing plants, to see what they see, to see what spooked them. I saw we could do this more humanely.”

Grandin soldiered on and proved herself in an industry dominated by men.

Having been severely bullied as a youngster, and facing down sexism in the cattle industry, Grandin says giving 110 percent put her ahead.

But she’s also quick to point out that she realizes her success is not a possibility for many autistics.

“Yes, for me it is a talent, but 50 percent of all autistics are nonverbal,” cautions Grandin, al-

As a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, she says she’s spent 90 percent of her time this year traveling and lecturing around the world. On the phone, she shuffles through some papers and refers to her notes and says in Bend, her lecture will center more on the cattle industry, because the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association is bringing her here.

“She’s an excellent speaker, and a premier cattle expert. She also spoke at OSU (Oregon State University) a while back. Her background in our industry is phenomenal in and of itself,” says Oregon Cattlemen’s Association spokesperson Kay Teisl. “To accomplish all she’s done is amazing, and to accomplish it being autistic is almost unbelievable.

Time Magazine singled her out as one of 25 Heroes among the top 100 Most Influential People, too.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ESPN’s GameDay will be at Civil War CORVALLIS — The college football preview show, ESPN College Football GameDay, will be on the campus of Oregon State University in advance of the Civil War game between No.1 Oregon and Oregon State on Saturday.

The annual rivalry game will determine whether Oregon gets a spot in the Bowl Championship Series national title game.

GameDay will be on the air live from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Pacific on Saturday, and will broadcast from Oregon State’s Memorial Union quad.

Admittance to the show is free. The first hour is aired on ESPNU, while the final two hours are on ESPN. On Friday, the GameDay crew of Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Erin Andrews will broadcast segments for SportsCenter, College Football Live and other ESPN shows from the set.

The game will take place at 12:30 p.m. and will be televised on ABC. — From wire reports

Cal suspends coach for having player fake injury vs. UO BERKELEY, Calif. — California defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi was suspended for Saturday’s last-second loss to Washington after admitting he instructed a player to fake an injury in a 15-13 defeat at No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 13.

Athletic director Sandy Barbour made the announcement after the Golden Bears’ 16-13 loss Saturday, when Cal (5-7, 3-6 Pac-10) finished the season with a third straight loss, ending its seven-year streak of reaching bowl games. Coach Jeff Tedford said he plans to keep Lupoi on his staff.

“This is a young coach who made a mistake. We make mistakes in life a lot,” Barbour said. “He stood up and he accepted responsibility for it. The head coach accepted responsibility for it and I accepted responsibility for it. That’s what we do as educators.”

Several times this season teams have been accused of faking injuries to slow down the high-powered Ducks. Tedford initially denied that any of his players had feigned injuries in the game before later learning otherwise, he said.

One Giant month November has been a time to celebrate for Todd Thomas, a Central Oregon native and a scout for the world champs

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

M A J O R L E AG U E BA S E BA L L

Todd Thomas is feeling blessed these days.

As Novembers go, this one has been a doozy for the Central Oregon native.

An accomplished three-sport athlete at Redmond High School in the late 1970s, Thomas earlier this month watched proudly in person with his 15-year-old daughter as the San Francisco Giants clinched the Major League Baseball franchise’s first World Series title in 56 years.

But the 49-year-old Thomas is no ordinary fan. He has spent his entire adult life with the Giants organization, first as a minor-league

player for five seasons and then as a scout for 23 years.

Five days after the clinching fifth game of the World Series, he was inducted into the Midwest Scouts Association’s Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the Kansas City Royals’ Kauffman Stadium, an honor bestowed on him by his scouting colleagues.

Thomas is a man playing these days with the house’s money, and he knows it.

After Boise State’s loss, there are just three undefeated teams left in the Football Bowl Subdivision — Oregon, Auburn and TCU. And two of them will likely play for the national title.

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — s “whew” a word?

The nation’s top two teams both trailed at halftime on Black (and Quack) Friday and, for at least a few hours, something historic filled the air.

A loss by either No.1 Oregon or No. 2 Auburn would have put a mid-major, Boise State or Texas Christian, in

I

major position to play for this year’s national title.

That drama, which started in Tuscaloosa, ended in Eugene with Oregon and Auburn both showing up for the second half.

There was more late-night drama, though, in Reno, where Nevada stunned Boise State, 34-31 in overtime.

Auburn, incredibly, rallied from 240 down against Alabama to win, 28-

27, while Oregon turned a five-point halftime deficit completely around on Arizona, ultimately crushing the Wildcats, 48-29.

That leaves only one weekend left for plot-shifting, poll maneuvering and computer recalculation.

The hope for a “non-AQ” school making the title game isn’t over yet, but the days are numbered.

Two Fisher boys, about 40 years apart, grew up in Bronx housing projects, playing basketball on the nearby playgrounds.

The elder, called Radio for his endless chatter, hustled clothes and cheap merchandise on the New York streets until it led him toward leadership of a notorious crime ring.

The younger Fisher awoke at 4 a.m. on weekdays to make the quiet, convoluted public-transportation commute to a private high school in New Jersey.

Flamboyant in his own way, he scored 105 points in a summer-league game last August.

Guy Fisher is serving a life sentence in a federal penitentiary. Corey Fisher, his greatnephew, is the star senior guard for Villanova, the best player on one of the nation’s top basketball teams.

“My uncle, he got in trouble for some bad stuff: drugs, things like that,” Corey Fisher said after a recent practice at Villanova, in Philadelphia’s western suburbs. “A lot of people know about it.”

Fisher first heard about his great-uncle through streetcorner whispers. His mother told him the story when she thought he was old enough.

Then he learned all he could about Guy Fisher and Nicky Barnes and the others whose high-style, heroin-fueled crime rings in 1970s Harlem were the basis of the 2007 film “American Gangster.”

Stanford wide receiver Doug Baldwin (89) gets away from two Oregon State players for a touchdown in the second quarter of Saturday’s game in Stanford, Calif. Stanford concluded its regular season with a 38-0 win.

STANFORD, Calif. — The chants of “BCS! BCS! BCS!” echoed out of the Stanford locker room. After making an emphatic final statement to be included in the Bowl Championship Series, the Cardinal now can only wait and watch if their wish will be fulfilled.

Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes to set a single-season school record and No. 7 Stanford forced five turnovers in its third shutout of the season, beating Or-

egon State 38-0 Saturday night.

“I think we’re the best one-loss team in the country,” linebacker Chase Thomas said. “Our offense is really hard to stop right now, they’re so reliable, and our defense has made so many strides from last year. I don’t see why we shouldn’t get to a BCS game.”

After setting a school record for wins, Stanford (11-1, 8-1 Pac-10) is hoping for an at-large berth in the BCS with No. 1 Oregon having already wrapped up the Pac-10’s automatic berth.

Three-time overall World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn, of Vail, failed to finish the first run Saturday after skiing off the course.

Worley, who won this race in 2008, finished in 2 minutes, 6.81 seconds. She surged back in a strong second run to beat Rebensburg, who had the fastest time in the first run.

Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley, Calif., was the top American finisher, placing eighth in 2:07.51.

Football • AP Source: Miami fires coach Randy Shannon: Miami fired coach Randy Shannon on Saturday, hours after the Hurricanes finished a 7-5 regular season, a person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press. The fate of all members of Shannon’s staff has not been determined, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the university is not announcing the move until today. Some, if not all, will remain for Miami’s bowl game.

Shannon received a four-year extension just before the start of the 2010 season. He was 28-22 in four seasons at Miami.

Soccer • U.S. gets 1-0 victory, spot at World Cup: The U.S. is on its way to the Women’s World Cup after beating Italy 1-0 Saturday in Bridgeview, Ill., on a first-half goal by Amy Rodriguez. The Americans won the home-and-home playoff on 2-0 aggregate to clinch the last spot in next summer’s 16nation World Cup, which will be played June 26 to July 17 in Germany. The draw is Monday in Frankfurt. The top-ranked Americans were in danger of missing the tournament they’ve won twice after a stunning upset earlier this month in regional qualifying. It was just their second loss since the 2007 World Cup, and first since the opening game of the Beijing Olympics, which the Americans went on to win. But the Americans got a second chance in the playoff with the Azzurre, Europe’s fifth-place team, and won both games.

Hat trick lifts Ducks over Coyotes The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — The bounces went Anaheim’s way, finally, and the Ducks’ six-game skid is over. So is Phoenix’s seven-game winning streak.

Ryan scored three of Anaheim’s five consecutive goals after Phoenix took a 3-1 lead early in the second period. The Ducks were playing for the second night in a row after losing 4-1 at home to Chicago on Friday.

Rookie Brandon McMillan’s first NHL goal, from in front of the net on a pass from Ryan Getzlaf, put Anaheim ahead for good, 4-3 with 13:21 to play.

NBA ROUNDUP

Mavericks too much for cooling Heat to handle The Associated Press DALLAS — While Dirk Nowitzki drove for a layup during Dallas’ game-turning run to start the second half, he split a gap between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James — with all three of the All-Stars in the air at the same time — to get to the basket.

Even with Wade’s new help in Miami, the Heat still can’t beat the Mavericks in the regular season.

After losing for the fourth time in five games, 106-95 on Saturday night, the Heat (9-8) had a players-only meeting.

That comes a month into the season that James and Dallasborn Chris Bosh joined Wade in Miami.

“We felt like we needed it.

Sometimes it’s a feel. We haven’t had a team-only meeting. We’re playing like 9-8 and we needed it,” Wade said. “This is a new team, a new group of guys. Guys need to understand each other and hear each other talk. We all feel better after the talk we had.”

At the same point a year ago, Miami was 10-7.

“It’s tough because I know the potential of this team, the vision I had when this team was put together,” Wade said.

Caron Butler scored seven of his 23 points in that third quarter spurt for the Mavericks, who haven’t lost a regular-season game against Miami in 6½ years.

James and Wade finally appeared in the interview room about 45 minutes after the game.

Neither would get into specifics of what was said in the closed locker room.

“It was a well-needed team meeting where everybody had a chance to get off whatever they had on their chest or in their head about us figuring things out,” James said. “Right now we are a 9-8 team and we have to own up to that. Does our record speak of the quality of team we can become? I don’t think so. But right now we’re 9-8 and we’re

The Heat were coming off a 99-90 home win Friday night over Philadelphia, which has the worst record in the Eastern Conference. That snapped a threegame losing streak.

Dallas has won 13 consecutive games over Miami since March 2004, and 16 of 17. That doesn’t include the 2006 NBA Finals, when the Heat won in six games after losing the first two.

While Miami missed its first 10 shots after halftime, Dallas scored 13 consecutive points and led 64-49 when Butler hit a 3pointer with 7:55 left in the third quarter. That came only 30 seconds after Butler’s layup on an assist from Jason Kidd.

Dallas played for the fourth time in five nights, having ended significant winning streaks by its last two opponents. After ending Oklahoma City’s five-game winning streak Wednesday, the Mavericks ended San Antonio’s 12-game winning streak Friday night.

Ducks lose battle of brothers as Kyle, No. 1 Duke triumph The Associated Press PORTLAND — The game between top-ranked Duke and Oregon was merely a formality for the first on-court meeting of Blue Devils star Kyle Singler and his little brother E.J., a sophomore forward for the Ducks.

And for Kyle, it was even more: His first chance to play in his home state since leaving for Durham, N.C. “Every moment I was out there I was trying to soak it all in,” the elder Singler brother said. “Trying to look at the signs, trying to find the people I knew in the stands. I was focused in and trying to win, but the environment was great.”

He made the most of it, with 30 points and five rebounds to lead Duke to a 98-71 victory Saturday.

The game was dubbed by one fan as “The Singler Mingler.” The brothers grew up in Medford, about 275 miles to the south of where the game was played at the Rose Garden.

The eventual outcome didn’t much matter when the brothers hugged tightly after the game.

“It was definitely fun,” E.J. Singler said. “One of the funnest games I’ve ever played in.”

The younger Singler scored 14 points, all in the second half, for Oregon (4-2).

It was the first time the Singlers played against each other, and the first time they were on the same court in a real game since they led South Medford High School to the state championship in 2007.

Kyle Singler, the taller and heavier of the two at 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, was named the most outstanding player of last year’s Final Four, leading the Blue Devils to the national championship.

He opened scoring with a fallaway jumper and Duke never trailed. His 3-pointer midway through the first half put the Blue Devils up 20-7.

Duke went up 31-12 in the first half on Miles Plumlee’s alley-oop dunk. The Ducks narrowed it to 33-23 later in the period, but Duke led 40-25 at halftime.

E.J. Singler had two fouls and no points in the first half. His lone attempt from the field was an airball.

President watches OSU beat Howard The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Oregon State coach Craig Robinson could have used one of his brother-in-law’s stirring speeches after his team’s lackluster first-half performance.

But with President Barack Obama busy shaking hands with fans during halftime of the Beavers’ contest against Howard, Robinson did the dirty work himself, delivering some choice words to his squad.

“The message was, ‘If you don’t play better than you’re playing, you’re going to lose,’ Robinson said. “But with a little bit more colorful language, and at a higher volume.”

Oregon State (3-2) responded to Robinson’s words, using a 17-2 second-half run to erase a 33-32 halftime deficit and put away pesky Howard, 84-74 on Saturday, making the Beavers’ trip to D.C. a success on all fronts.

“A few things we can accomplish on a trip like this: I can get my sister and brother-in-law off my back ... and we’re trying to give our guys a good experience on the court and culturally,” Robinson said.

Oregon State began to use its size and speed advantages after the break. Joe Burton and Jared Cunningham combined to score 26 second-half points as the Beavers built a 64-50 lead. Oregon State shot 60 percent in the second half as they capitalized on their interior play.

“We played more like a Pac10 team in the second half,” Robinson said.

D4 Sunday, November 28, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Giant Continued from D1 “It’s unbelievable — I mean, indescribable — how it can’t really get any better than that,” Thomas said in a recent phone interview. “I keep having to pinch myself and think how I am SO blessed and SO lucky and feel absolutely fortunate and grateful to have this opportunity. And to have it all in one week is just very hard to describe.”

Thomas, a married father of one, is friendly, at ease sharing stories of a life spent in baseball.

He grew up at Black Butte Ranch before it was a resort. His athletic older sister, Pam, helped stoke his competitive fire and taught the natural righty how to hit as a lefthander, he recalled.

At Redmond High he was a star in both basketball and baseball.

He debated whether to play basketball or baseball in college. But in the end, Thomas was persuaded by then-Oregon State University baseball coach Jack Riley to come to Corvallis and play baseball.

It was a decision that would affect the rest of Thomas’ life.

He was a three-year starter as a utility man for the Beavers (he still keeps in touch with the OSU baseball program), and he was named to the all-Pac-10 Conference team in 1981 and 1983 first as an outfielder and then as a utility player. And in 1983, Thomas was drafted in the 31st round by the Giants.

“I was much better at basketball than baseball (in high school),” Thomas remembered, adding that OSU was the only school to show interest in him as a baseball player. “(Riley) is the only guy that saw the potential in baseball.

“It certainly worked out very well for me, and I have been very, very blessed.”

A utility man in the Giants organization from 1983 to 1987, Thomas was a solid if unspectacular player who hit .258 in the minors with little power. He noted that he did play every position other than pitcher in the minors.

He reached Phoenix, then the home of the Giants’ Triple-A minor-league affiliate, by 1987. And he played alongside the future core of San Francisco’s 1989 National League championship team, guys like third baseman Matt Williams, second baseman Robby Thompson, and catcher Kirt Manwaring. (Thomas never played with then Giants top prospect Will Clark, who debuted in San Francisco in 1986.)

At the end of the ’87 season, Thomas recalled, the Giants bluntly said that he was “over the hill as a player” and “backing the system up.” But at the same time, the Giants offered Thomas his first scouting job, in the Midwest.

“It never occurred to me (to become a scout),” Thomas reflected. “I thought I would end up being a coach or a manager. … Probably a basketball coach rather than a baseball coach.”

The Giants had no coaching openings in their minor-league system at the time, Thomas said. Then 27 years old, he accepted the

Central Oregon native Todd Thomas, shown here in an undated photo, was a three-year starter for Oregon State from 1981-1983. Now a scout for the San Francisco Giants, he was drafted in the 31st round by the Giants in 1983. scouting job and moved to St. Louis, figuring if he did not like the assignment he could always quit.

“That was 23 years ago,” he observed.

From St. Louis — where he met Pat Nobles, the woman who would become his wife — Thomas spent 10 years scouting the Midwest, an area spanning 13 states.

In 1997 he moved to Dallas, where he lives today with his wife and their daughter, Jordan, and where he is the Giants’ area scouting supervisor for all of Texas.

The travel required by his job — moving from town to town watching both high school and college players — can be brutal. Thomas said he estimates he has spent 145 nights in a hotel this year, which is about 20 or 30 nights fewer on average than when he worked in St. Louis.

“There’s a lot of travel, a lot of nights on the road living out of a suitcase and living in hotels, and most importantly being away from family — that’s the downside,” said Thomas, adding that he is still able to get home for most big family events.

“Some days you don’t even know which direction you are headed when you get up that morning,” he said. “But that keeps it kind of lively, also.”

And about the time he gets sick of it all, he said, it seems he sees something special.

He once saw Clayton Kershaw, now a star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, throw a six-inning perfect game and strike out all 18 batters he faced for Highland Park High School near Dallas.

Thomas recommended that the Giants draft the phenom. But the Dodgers selected Kershaw seventh overall in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. The Giants, who picked 10th that year, ended up settling for a tiny right-handed flamethrower from the University of Washington named Tim Lincecum.

“We got stuck with some clown named

Lincecum,” Thomas joked, referring to the now two-time Cy Young Award winner (whom, by the way, Thomas did not scout).

“We never dreamed (Lincecum) would get to (No.) 10.”

Thomas has scouted and signed 11 major-league players, including Bill Mueller, a former Giants farmhand who later won the American League batting title and a World Series with the 2004 Boston Red Sox, and longtime reliever Mike Myers, who was also on that 2004 Red Sox team.

Another of Thomas’ players, infielder Ryan Rohlinger, was on the Giants’ 40-man roster and in the dugout when San Francisco put away Texas, but he did not play in the postseason.

Thomas said he has on display at his home in Dallas an autographed baseball from each player he has signed to a professional contract.

Thomas still keeps in touch with all of them.

“It’s like a huge fraternity of players that I signed, and they all know each other,” Thomas said. “We have that special relationship.”

Thomas’ mother, Ann, still lives in Redmond, though his hectic schedule rarely affords him a chance to return to Central Oregon. He said his most recent trip to Redmond was last year, for his 30-year high school reunion.

He still loves it here, though, he said.

But all those years on the road for the Giants made Nov. 1, the night San Francisco won the World Series, all the more special for Thomas.

All the scouts, including Thomas, were in San Francisco at AT&T Park for the first two games of the series, Thomas said. But because the next three games were in Texas, played at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington just minutes from his home, he was able to attend those, too.

For years he had worn his two National League Championship rings, commemorating the 1989 and 2002 Giants teams that reached the World Series but lost. Those rings were a constant reminder of the one prize the Giants were never able to bring back to San Francisco — the World Series championship.

At Game 5 with his daughter, who knew all too well of the Giants’ historic struggles, Thomas watched as Lincecum out-dueled Rangers ace Cliff Lee. As the game waned, Jordan counted down the final outs with her dad. And when San Francisco closer Brian Wilson logged the final out, the two celebrated together.

“For 15 years she’s seen how many nights a year I spend on the road and how I travel,” Thomas said. “Many scouts work very, very hard and never get an opportunity to be in the World Series. This was my third opportunity, so I feel very, very fortunate.

“But that is the ultimate prize. That’s why we do what we do is for a chance to win the World Series. So she was very cognizant of what was at stake and how much Daddy cared.”

Three Continued from D1 Boise State, ranked fourth in the Bowl Championship Series standings, raced out to a 24-7 lead on No. 19 Nevada in Reno but got caught from behind.

Boise State’s Kyle Brotzman had a chance to win on the last play of regulation but he missed a 26-yard field goal after Kellen Moore connected with Titus Young on a 58-yard heave.

Brotzman also missed a short field goal in overtime, and Nevada’s Anthony Martinez ended it with a 34-yard field goal.

Boise State fans watched Friday’s Iron Bowl from tailgate parties in Reno, knowing an Auburn loss would likely have made Friday’s Nevada game a play-in for the national title.

Hours later, their Broncos let a big lead slip away, making it a great night for BCS No. 3 Texas Christian, which concluded its regular season Saturday at lowly

Breaking down the BCS A snapshot of the major conference situations:

PACIFIC 10 It was a big day for Stanford, which closed its regular season with a blowout win over Oregon State. The Cardinal (11-1) started the weekend at No. 6 in the BCS standings but could move up two spots with No. 4 Boise State and No. 5 Louisiana State losing. Finishing No. 4 would guarantee Stanford an automatic BCS berth. If an Auburn loss puts TCU in the title game, Stanford is Rose Bowl bound. Otherwise, Stanford would have to be taken by the Orange, Fiesta or Sugar bowls.

If Oregon loses next week, the Ducks drop to the Rose but Stanford could still be a “must take.”

BIG TEN Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State ended in a three-way tie, meaning the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings on Dec. 5 will earn at least a Rose Bowl bid. Wisconsin is ahead of both schools in the standings and showed it was intent on staying there with Saturday’s 70-23 win over Northwestern.

New Mexico.

If Oregon and Auburn win their final games, the highest ranked “non-AQ” earns a trip to this year’s Rose Bowl.

Oregon (11-0) has to play at Oregon State in the annual Civil War game. Oregon State will be highly motivated for payback after being knocked out of a Rose Bowl berth

by Oregon each of the last two seasons.

Oregon has clinched its second straight Pac-10 title and will play Jan. 1 in Pasadena or Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz., site of this year’s Bowl Championship Series title game.

Auburn (12-0) has one more test to pass, in Atlanta, against South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference title game. Auburn won a hard-fought, 35-27, home victory over South Carolina on Sept. 25.

Auburn must quickly now put the emotion of Friday’s mini-miracle aside and refocus on South Carolina.

Forgetting an amazing Friday, though, will be nearly impossible.

Atlanta. With a win, Auburn earns a national title bid. A South Carolina wins sends the Gamecocks to the Sugar Bowl.

BIG 12 Oklahoma’s 47-41 win over Oklahoma State created a threeway tie with Texas A&M in the South division, meaning Nebraska’s opponent for next week’s Big 12 title game will be determined by today’s BCS standings. It appears Oklahoma will prevail.

ATLANTIC COAST Maryland’s win over North Carolina State on Saturday puts Florida State in next week’s title game against Virginia Tech. The Seminoles celebrated by defeating archrival Florida.

BIG EAST Who cares? Yeah, we know, but in case you have a relative in the league: Connecticut wins the BCS bid, and a probable Fiesta Bowl bid, with a win at South Florida next week. West Virginia wins if it beats Rutgers and Connecticut loses. Pittsburgh needs a win over Cincinnati and West Virginia and Connecticut to lose.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Sooners survive to beat Cowboys The Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — With a thrilling finish in a Bedlam game that lived up to its name, Landry Jones chased away the demons that had hounded No. 14 Oklahoma all season.

Jones matched the school record with 468 yards passing and threw two long touchdown passes 29 seconds apart in the fourth quarter as the Sooners beat No. 10 Oklahoma State 47-41 on Saturday night to forge a three-way tie atop the Big 12 South — a tie that should break OU’s way.

Jones and Oklahoma (10-2, 6-2 Big 12) came in as a rare underdog in a series it has dominated for over a century, thanks to a pair of second-half meltdowns on the road.

But in an exhilarating sequence that saw the teams exchange two touchdowns apiece within 92 seconds, Jones put the Sooners in position to play for the Big 12 title for an eighth time since 2000.

“You watch some of the great quarterbacks — the Joe Montanas and those guys — they’ll have bad days and then they’ll have a fourth quarter that wins the game and that’s all anybody talks about. ... The important thing is to stay after it,” coach Bob Stoops said. “You’re still going to have opportunities to make your plays. And maybe, he’s getting that.”

Jones threw an 86-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Kenney then answered Justin Gilbert’s kickoff return score for Oklahoma State (10-2, 6-2 Big 12) with his fourth TD toss — a 76-yarder to James Hanna 29 seconds later to make it 47-38 with 2:34 remaining.

Dan Bailey got Oklahoma State within striking distance with a 34-yard field goal with 36 seconds left, but Ryan Broyles recovered an onside kick to allow the Sooners to run out the clock on their eighth straight win in the series.

“I started to take a deep breath right before they ran that kickoff back,” Hanna said. “But stuff happens, and you’ve got to come back and keep playing.”

Huskies beat Bears on last play BERKELEY, Calif. — Quarterback Jake Locker came back to Washington for one last hurrah and the chance to lead a return to the postseason.

After willing the Huskies again, he’s one win away.

Chris Polk scored on a 1-yard run as time expired, and Washington denied California bowl eligibility while keeping its own postseason hopes alive with a thrilling 16-13 victory Saturday.

Locker, who threw an earlier 80-yard touchdown pass, was stopped on consecutive sneak attempts on second and third down from the 1 before Polk came through for the Huskies.

The winning touchdown set of a celebratory pileup behind the end zone, and the players danced near their contingent of fans well after the game ended.

Washington (5-6, 4-4 Pac-10) still needs a victory in next weekend’s Apple Cup rivalry game at Washington State to reach its first bowl since 2002.

“It’s the playoffs for us now. If we lose, we’re out,” Locker said.

“That’s the urgency we played with in the second half. To get this win keeps our season alive and allows us to go into Pullman next weekend and compete for something we haven’t been able to do in a long time. It’s right where we want to be as a football team.”

Cal (5-7, 3-6), playing in a downpour for much of the final game at Memorial Stadium before the 87-year-old venue undergoes a $321 million renovation, lost its third straight and couldn’t rebound from an embarrassing rout by rival Stanford in last week’s Big Game.

The Golden Bears’ postseason streak is over after a seven-year run.

Continued from D1 The weekend got off to a good start for the Cardinal before this game even kicked off. With Boise State losing Friday night and LSU falling to Arkansas earlier Saturday, Stanford has a chance to move up from sixth to fourth in the BCS standings — guaranteeing a berth in one of the high-profile bowls.

While TCU has the inside track for the Rose Bowl, Stanford would be an option for the Fiesta, Orange or Sugar bowls with the Fiesta or Orange being the most likely destinations.

If the Cardinal don’t finish in the top four, they could end up in the Alamo Bowl because they lack the strong following bowls look for as they try to sell out their stadiums. That was evident in the large number of empty seats for a rainy regular-season finale with the students on break for the Thanksgiving holiday. Stanford has sold out its 50,000seat stadium just once all season against USC, drawing 38,775 Saturday.

“I feel like we’re an exciting team to watch,” said receiver Doug Baldwin, who caught two TD passes. “I’m on the sidelines watching these guys on defense. I don’t see what part of the country wouldn’t want to see Stanford football come into their town to play.”

The Beavers (5-6, 4-4) need to beat the Ducks at home next Saturday to make it to a bowl game for a school-record fifth consecutive season. Ryan Katz threw three interceptions and lost a fumble as Oregon State failed in its first attempt to become bowl eligible and was shut out for the first time in eight years.

“We’re really disappointed the way this game went,” coach Mike Riley said. “Our only deal left for this team is to do everything we can to prepare for that game next week and win it.”

This could be the final home game for Luck and coach Jim Harbaugh. Luck could enter the NFL draft, where he would be a high pick, and Harbaugh could have offers from higherprofile colleges or the NFL. If this was the end of an era, Luck made it another memora-

Continued from D1 Finally, Corey Fisher, as a young teenager, went to visit Guy Fisher in prison, the start of a continuing long-range relationship.

“I started to read about him, and I asked my mom, ‘Can we go see him?’ ” Fisher said. “That’s one of the things that kind of changed my mindset for me to make it, to see my uncle in that situation that he’s in, and knowing that he’s in prison for life.”

Corey Fisher — Anthony Guy Corey Fisher — spoke openly about his great-uncle, but said he wanted to focus on basketball and school.

He routinely steered the conversation back to Villanova. Behind Fisher’s career-high 26 points, the seventh-ranked Wildcats (5-0) beat UCLA on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden in the National Invitation Tournament Season Tip-Off. They lost to Tennessee in the championship game Friday night.

Guy Fisher, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary in Tucson, Ariz., agreed to be interviewed about Corey, but prison officials overrode a request from The New York Times to interview him.

“Mr. Fisher agreed to the interview; however, based on security concerns and staffing issues I am unable to approve your request,” the warden, Craig Apker, wrote in reply to the request.

Guy Fisher was a top lieutenant in a vast Harlem drug and crime ring called the Council, led by his mentor, Barnes, who posed for a 1977 New York Times Magazine cover. The story was headlined “Mr. Untouchable.”

By the end of that year, Barnes and a dozen others were convicted for their roles in drug trafficking.

Fisher was tried, too, but he escaped with a hung jury. He took over the operation and became the first black owner of the Apollo Theater on 125th Street, reviving it with a grand reopening in 1978.

The pursuit by law enforcement never stopped, and in 1983 Fisher was tried on a slew of familiar charges. Barnes, looking to reduce his life sentence for narcotics racketeering, was a key government informant and testified against Fisher, his former protege. On Jan. 12, 1984, Fisher was sentenced to life in prison without parole for continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy, distribution of heroin and racketeering.

Stanford safety Delano Howell catches an interception over Oregon State’s Joe Halahuni in the end zone for a touchback in the third quarter of Saturday’s game in Stanford, Calif. ble one. He broke the Stanford record of 27 touchdown passes in a season held by John Elway and Steve Stenstrom when he connected with Tyler Gaffney on a 52-yard scoring strike on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Luck finished 21 for 30 for 305 yards.

“Any time you get to be mentioned in the same sentence as John Elway it’s an honor,” Luck said. “It’s also a testament to the wideouts, the o-line, the running backs and the tight ends for what a great job they’ve done all year.”

Stepfan Taylor ran for 115 yards, scoring on a 62-yard burst up the middle midway through the third quarter to make it 31-0. That put him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season — just the sixth Stanford back to reach that total.

The defense did the rest, forcing the turnovers and holding Jacquizz Rodgers to 76 yards rushing in Stanford’s third shutout of the season.

“Just a thorough, thorough performance by our players,”

Harbaugh said.

Luck picked up where he left off in the Big Game last week when he led the Cardinal to scores on all eight drives he played against California.

Luck completed all six passes on the opening drive, capped by a 21-yard scoring strike to Zach Ertz.

Oregon State drove into Cardinal territory on its first drive and was poised to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the 34.

But Riley decided to punt after a false start and Luck drove Stanford 91 yards, capped by a 42-yard pass to Baldwin, for his ninth straight drive that ended in a touchdown.

The Beavers finally stopped Stanford on the next drive thanks to a sack by Stephen Paea. But Stanford added a 20-yard field goal by Nate Whitaker and a 29-yard TD pass to Baldwin that made it 24-0 at halftime.

“They did their thing and we didn’t,” Paea said. “They outplayed us. There are no excuses for this game. Stanford played great.”

ens of others, was freed in 1998 and placed in the witness protection program. Barnes dedicated his 2007 book, “Mr. Untouchable,” to Fisher, writing “everything you had came from me.”

He added: “When you finish the last page, I want you to look up, see where I put you and ask yourself, was it worth it? Ask yourself that every day until you die.”

In prison, Fisher has pursued several degrees, including a doctorate in sociology. He was the subject of one episode of the BET documentary series “American Gangster,” which called him “the gentleman gangster.” It contains a video clip showing Fisher speaking to a group at Allenwood, a prison in Pennsylvania, where Fisher stayed from 1994 to 2008. It is where Corey Fisher first visited him.

“I can share my truth as a means to help prevent the youth of America from spending the rest of their young life in a prison cell,” Guy Fisher said in the clip.

He could have been talking directly to Corey Fisher. Fisher was born and raised in the Bronx, and his neighborhood was the Castle Hill Houses, 14 brick high-rises.

Living with his mother, Keisha, and his brother, Ivon (his father, Corey Wilson, a city sanitation worker, lived in a different building in the complex), Fisher witnessed the usual inner-city catalog of arrests and violence. By middle school, where he was a backcourtmate of the current Connecticut star Kemba Walker, Fisher saw a way through.

“That was kind of my let-out, to get out of the neighborhood, basketball,” he said. “My mom was always telling me, and my dad, if you don’t have no grades, you can’t play basketball.”

Fisher, his popularity ascending and his grades falling, further separated himself from distraction and temptation by enrolling at St. Patrick’s in Elizabeth, N.J. “I said, ‘How did you know in ninth grade?’ ” Villanova coach Jay Wright said, recalling a conversation he had with Fisher. “In ninth grade, I wouldn’t have had the maturity to recognize that this isn’t a good thing. He said: ‘I don’t know.

I just knew. I looked around at everybody around me, I knew that if I didn’t get out of here, I’d never make it.’ ” St. Patrick’s won a state championship and Fisher was named player of the year by The Star-Ledger. The hardest part might have been getting to school.

“I had to be at Madison Square Garden at 5:15 to be at school on

time,” Fisher said, referring to Penn Station, which is below the arena.

“I take the 22 bus in the Bronx to the 6 train in Castle Hill train station. Take the 6 train to 33rd Street, walk down 33rd, get on New Jersey Transit, get off at Elizabeth, then take a cab to St. Pat’s to be on time.

Home room started at 7:15.”

At Villanova, the 6-foot-1 Fisher quickly established himself as a highlight-making guard. His spark off the bench helped the Wildcats reach the Final Four in 2009. As a starter last season, Fisher averaged 13.3 points and 3.9 assists.

If anything, he was overly deferential to others, like the first-team all-American Scottie Reynolds, a senior on last year’s team.

“As much as he seems like a tough kid from the Bronx, and that’s how he plays, he’s really a sweetheart,” Wright said of Fisher. “He’s always concerned about everybody else, wanting to keep everybody happy. But he’s got the ability to dominate. So finally this year he’s starting to understand that’s what he’s got to do for this team.”

Wright said that if Fisher wanted, he could average 25 points this season “easy.” The indoctrination begins at practice.

“We chart in practice now, the first time we’ve done this, how many shots he takes in relation to his team’s shots, every day,” Wright said. “Whatever drills we did that day, if there were 40 shot attempts by his team in the 5-on- 5 competition, we want him to have 18 or 20 of them. We want him to have close to half, in practice. I know in a game people aren’t going to make it that easy on him.”

So far, Fisher has averaged 18.4 points, about one-third of them on free throws earned mostly by catquick dashes to the basket. He has taken 69 of Villanova’s 309 fieldgoal attempts (22 percent).

“He’s such a unique player, such a talent, I can see him playing in the NBA,” Wright said. “I really do.

He’s going to have to have a great senior year, which I think he can, and then he’s going to have to go to the workouts and prove himself, which I think he can.”

Surely Guy Fisher is watching.

Corey Fisher, on track to graduate with a liberal arts degree in the spring, said that the two spoke occasionally on the phone, but that he had not visited his great-uncle, now 63, since arriving at Villanova.

With Guy Fisher in Arizona, the two are separated by thousands of miles, 41 years and a web of forks in the road. But they are not separated by blood, name or the Bronx.

DAVID BRODER

When a nuclear power plant is retired, a team is sent in to safely dispose of the radioactive waste.

Debt solution will require compromise

T

his has been a great month for conversation. The Bipartisan Policy Center and the chairmen of the fiscal commission released big plans for reducing debt and reforming government. This has set off a deluge of interesting commentary about how we should govern ourselves in the coming century.

But is any of this going anywhere?

Are any elected officials actually going to follow through on these plans? Has anybody discovered a political formula to get spending cuts, tax increases and other reforms through the Congress?

I’ve spent the past few days calling Congressional leaders and other budget mavens to get an answer to that question. The answer is no.

Nobody has a political strategy for getting anything like this passed in the short term. There is very little likelihood the political class as currently constituted will address the looming fiscal disaster soon.

Some Republicans have been talking honestly about cutting entitlement spending, but almost no Republican seems willing to accept tax increases as part of a bipartisan budget deal. You could offer Republicans a deal that was 80 percent spending cuts and 20 percent tax increases and they’d say no. They’d say no to 90-10, too.

Ronald Reagan raised taxes 12 separate times during his presidency. But “No New Taxes” has become the requisite for membership in today’s GOP. Without a tax increase there will never be a bipartisan deal and without a bipartisan deal there will never be a solution because no party will ever take sole responsibility for the brutal spending cuts that are also required to reduce the debt.

But the Democratic Party is in the middle of an identity crisis. The liberals are fighting hard to make sure the moderates don’t gain control of the party (Nancy Pelosi’s re-election as leader was partially about that). These mobilized and defensive liberals are certainly not going to hand control of the government to the few remaining budget hawks and tell them to go remake the welfare state.

The liberal Democrats show no sign of accepting significant spending cuts to the programs they regard as their movement’s greatest achievements. They are in no mood to revisit health care, even though Medicare will have to be hit to get the debt under control. Many of them are in no mood even to acknowledge the scope of the problem, as their responses to last week’s various commission reports demonstrated.

So we’ve still got budget gridlock. But it’s worth stepping back to acknowledge how abnormal this is. As late as the 1980s and 1990s, Congress did pass serious measures to control debt. Across the Atlantic, Britain is enacting a budget with spending cuts and tax increases. In fact, all affluent countries are now faced with the challenge of reforming their welfare states and few are as immobilized as the U.S. This is in part because the problem is so hard — baby boomers are retiring and medical advances raise costs. But the U.S., more than other countries, is immobilized by a shift in the ethos of its leadership class.

For centuries, American politicians did not run up huge peacetime debts. It was because they were constrained by a mentality inherited from the founders.

According to this mentality, a big successful nation exists in a state of equilibrium between its many factions. This equilibrium is fragile because we are flawed and fallen creatures and can’t quite trust ourselves.

This ethos has dissolved, on the left and the right. The new mentality sees the country not as an equilibrium, but as a battlefield in which the people, who are pure and virtuous, do battle against the interests or the elites, who stand in the way of the people’s happiness.

The ideal leader in this mental system is free from moral anxiety but full of passionate intensity. This leader pushes his troops in lock step before the voracious foe. Each party has its own version of whom the evil elites are, but both feel they’ve more to fear from their enemies than from their own sinfulness.

Compromise is thus impossible. Money matters should be negotiable, but how can one compromise with opponents who are the source of all corruption?

The twin-unit nuclear reactor known as Zion Station in Zion, Ill., has been in limbo for more than a decade, and Commonwealth Edison, now part of Exelon, paid about $10 million a year to baby-sit the defunct reactor.

Decommissioning the facility includes a hefty price tag, but a company in Illinois is testing a less expensive alternative.

A new way

to save

By Matthew L. Wald New York Times News Service ZION, Ill. — welve years ago, Commonwealth Edison found itself in a bind.

The Zion Station, its twin-unit nuclear reactor here, was no longer profitable. But the company could not afford to tear it down: The cost of dismantling the vast steel and concrete building, with multiple areas of radioactive contamination, would exceed $1 billion, double what it had cost to build the reactors in the 1970s. Nor could Commonwealth Edison walk away from the plant, because of the contamination.

The result was that Zion Station sat in limbo for more than a decade, and Commonwealth Edison, now part of Exelon, paid about $10 million a year to baby-sit the defunct reactor.

Now, though, the company is trying out a radical new approach to decommissioning the plant that promises to make the process faster, simpler and 25 percent less expensive — instead of hiring a contractor, it has turned the job and the reactors over to a nuclear demolition company that owns a nuclear dump site.

The cost will be covered by the $900 million that Exelon accumulated in a decommissioning fund.

If the approach is successful, it could have implications for 10 other nuclear plants across the country that are waiting to be decommissioned, and for the 104 reactors that are still in operation but will eventually be torn down. It will also save money for electricity customers, who often end up paying for the cleanup of nuclear plants through their utility bills.

See Nuclear / F6

Workers discuss options inside the north reactor building at the retired Zion Station nuclear power plant. Exelon has turned the job of demolishing the reactor over to a demolition company rather than a contractor. “This is a first-of-a-kind arrangement,” said Adam Levin, director of spent fuel and decommissioning at Exelon.

A ‘green’ cash pit

S

ignature buildings send powerful messages about the organizations that build them and the cities that house them.

So what message are we to take from the proposed Or-

egon Sustainability Center, a “green” architectural fantasy that would generate its own electricity, treat its own sewage and reach deeply into the public purse?

According to a story in Willamette Week, the 132,000-square-foot center could rise next summer on what is now a Portland parking lot. Once it’s done, the “living” building will leave a carbon footprint tinier than a gnat’s little toe.

To achieve super-green certification, the building’s designers hope to meet certain benchmarks over the course of a year. The center, for instance, will have to emit no carbon, collect and purify its own water and use less energy than a Nissan Leaf coasting downhill. Reaching these ambitious goals, according to an engineering firm hired to review the project, will require some cooperation by the center’s tenants, who’ll have to get used to taking the stairs rather than the elevator, bundling up in the winter, sweating in the summer and so on.

Despite skimping on creature comforts, the Oregon Sustainability Center could contain Portland’s most expensive office space ever, at over $460 per square foot, according to Willamette Week. That cost will be reflected in the rents, which are currently projected to be Portland’s most expensive, at $28.45 per square foot, though designers are working hard to cut costs.

And, yes, the public will pay a big chunk of the bill. Together, the Oregon University System and the city of Portland will contribute about $65 million, with the former “backstopping” rents, according to the paper. Should the building’s green cache fail to convince private renters to part with their money, Portland State University could fill the space with its expanding student

population — in other words, adding a subsidy to a subsidy.

The project is, if nothing else, extremely interesting and ambitious.

Who says Oregon can’t think big?

Problem is, the Sustainability Center simply extends the kind of big thinking that gave Oregonians the Business Energy Tax Credit, our costly renewable portfolio standards and the ethanol mandate that won’t go away no matter how thoroughly its silliness has been demonstrated. Oregon specializes in the devotion of hard cash to good intentions with questionable returns. It’s almost as if the folks in charge have forgotten that they’re running a state, not an environmental think tank.

Developer Will Macht, who’s also a professor at Portland State University, voiced a concern that seems foreign to many in Portland: “For a model to be sustainable, it has to be not only ecologically sustainable but economically sustainable. This project is not economically sustainable, and that is the simple truth.”

And that, sadly, is the message Oregonians should take from the Sustainability Center, which symbolizes not only Portland’s green myopia, but also many of the state’s costly mis-steps over the past decade. We hope Gov.elect John Kitzhaber has been watching and learning during his eight years outside of state government. Many taxpayers, if not most, would welcome the day when Oregon’s truly representative piece of architecture is a ho-hum, if exceptionally well insulated, office building filled with private-sector workers making a good wage.

Wyden’s wrong this time

en. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., should rethink his position on Internet oversight before Congress reconvenes after Thanksgiving. Wyden has said he will put a hold on a bill that would give the Justice Department tools necessary to shut down sites that host or link to illegally available copyrighted material. The hold would effectively end discussion of the bill until after the first of the year.

Wyden has been a champion of free and unfettered access to the Internet for years — and most often he’s right. This time, however, he’s wrong.

Those whose material is being pirated, everyone from musicians to movie producers to newspapers, including this one, are robbed every time someone copies for free a song, movie or news article that he otherwise would have to pay for. Such copying is simply shoplifting without walls.

The legislation that Wyden would stall seeks to end the thievery. It would allow the Justice Department to ask for a court order effectively cutting off access to websites that either di-

rectly or indirectly made pirated material available to visitors. If the order were granted, it could be rescinded once the website owners proved they no longer distributed copyrighted material.

Newspapers understand the importance of free speech as well as anyone. We know, as the CEO of the Newspaper Association of America wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, the freedom of expression and the protection of intellectual property are not incompatible.

John Sturm went on: “As the Supreme Court has noted, copyright is an ‘engine of free expression’ because it ‘supplies the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas.’”

It’s that critical point that Wyden seems to have overlooked, though it is critical to newspapers, authors, musicians and others. Unless they can support themselves by selling what they create, they’re likely to disappear. The Senate Judiciary Committee understands: It moved the legislation forward on a unanimous vote.

My Nickel’s Worth Change code A few weeks back, The Bulletin editorial page said “no” to DMV in Brookswood Meadow Plaza. A recent Bulletin editorial (“City should resist DMV backlash”) says “no” to the planning commission’s zoning change. If the zoning code is not changed, this could happen again in Brookswood Meadow Plaza or any other neighborhood in Bend.

Anyway, I think the Bend planning commission’s recent decision to change the CCZ (convenience commercial zoning) code strikes a fair balance between what the CCZ/Plaza owners would want, which is unlimited traffic, with its host of problems, for the purpose of more customers, and what the neighborhood would want, which is limited traffic, but neighborhood services.

A branch library, a branch post office, heck even a branch DMV would be acceptable in a “neighborhood center.” This code change then would follow with the city’s general plan of providing for the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. A citywide government point-of-service was not the intent of even the current zoning code in neighborhoods. This change would tighten up the zoning code so it wouldn’t happen again. I urge the Bend City Council to approve the planning commission’s zoning code changes.

Good health plan Thank you, Obama, for the new health care program!

I just received my open enrollment for my company-sponsored health care for 2011. I was afraid to open it. But, to

my surprise, my premiums went down $3 per month, and I was able to add my 24-year-old son back on to my program.

(Now his deductible will be $300 instead of $3,000!) As a retiree on a fixed income, I feel very fortunate to have access to affordable health care. Thank you, President Obama, and all of those who voted for the new health care bill!

Cut earmarks In response to “an end to D.C. earmarks,” President Obama urges new limits on earmarks. Thank you, Mr. President! House Republican leader John Boehner pledges to end earmarking next year. Thank you, Mr. Boehner!

Now, what courageous stands do our fearless Oregon officials take?

Rep. Greg Walden — We need to actually read the bills before they are voted on.

Sen. Ron Wyden — The earmarking process needs to become more transparent to voters.

Sen. Jeff Merkley — (through a spokesperson) We aren’t going to have a quote on the earmarks story.

Yes, I realize earmarks are only 1 percent of our trillion-dollar budget, but let’s start the necessary cutbacks by saying “no” to earmarks now! Having saved that 1 percent, we can look for the next 1 percent to save, and then another, etc. It is a small start, but it is a start!

Bad sentences Regarding the article “‘Killer bread’ saves a life:” As Dave’s story reveals,

people can and do change, given opportunities. Prisons in Oregon are losing the funds to provide programs so that inmates have opportunities to change. Dave’s story is past tense! And, if Dave had been a “sex offender” he would probably not be making “killer bread” right now.

The article states “earned him a mandatory minimum sentence of 118 months” and later states “he was released 30 months early.” There is no early release for mandatory minimum sentences. Mandatory minimums are unconstitutional, unethical, disincentive and cost prohibitive.

Printing inaccurate information as though it is factual is not only confusing for those who do not do their own research to form conclusions (example: those who use the voters pamphlet’s “paid advertising” for their information) but it is dishonest reporting! It also does nothing to support reality for those who actually do their homework and arrive at contemplative conclusions.

My son was sentenced on a Ballot Measure 11, mandatory minimum sentence, when he was just 18 years old. He will serve every single day of his 25-year prison sentence for charges that caused no physical damage to property or person. He will never have the hope of incentives to reduce his astronomical sentence from any of his good behavior. The expectation behind BM11 and BM73 is that people never change.

What percent of taxes goes to fund BMs 11 and 73? What are the top five expenses of Oregon Department of Corrections? Anyone know?

Prepare for the worst before setting out in the winter

By Bob Speik Bulletin guest columnist

T

he Sunday Bulletin’s Fall/Winter High Desert Pulse article “Surviving the cold,” by reporter Breanna Hostbjor, might be helpful for some but it misses a good opportunity to give noviceto-advanced hikers, snowshoers, skiers, hunters, snowmobilers and other outdoor folks facts they need to mitigate the inherent risk of hy- I N M Y pothermia during outdoor winter adventures.

Hostbjor advises us to: 1. Avoid severe cold if you are able, wear layers and a hat, drink warm liquids, “and have access to a shelter or know how to make one in case you become stranded outdoors.” Travel in groups so you can help each other and share body heat.

2. Stay dry and remove wet clothes as soon as possible.

3. Don’t wear cotton! Wear wool or fleece. “And if you have an outer shell that repels water and can keep you dry, all the better.”

4. Avoid alcohol and …

5. Help the young and old.

Three large illustrations show a man wearing a heavy shirt and big heavy jacket, wide open at the neck, and a big hat and mittens. The text in the illustrations features the Fahrenheit core temperature of individuals with mild, moderate and severe hypothermia, of clinical interest to medical personnel with thermometers.

The statement, “If you’re V I E W stuck outdoors, curl into a ball, sitting upright,” is bad advice, read below. This Pulse article misses an opportunity to provide informed, practical information for Bulletin readers who venture into the outdoors in winter.

Avoiding hypothermia on a winter’s day adventure starts with a trip plan.

Base your trip plan on your study of a good map, for a snowshoe walk, a hunt, or a climb to a summit, all best done with companions. Carry a $7 USGS topo map, a $30 base plate compass adjusted for 17 degrees declination and perhaps a simple current $99 GPS receiver, now accurate to 4.1 meters.

Next in importance is a weather dependent collection of personal clothing layers.

Wear synthetic base-layer underwear that wicks moisture, mid-layers of insulating Polypro and pile that do not absorb moisture and an absolutely essential waterproof-breathable jacket-and-pants for rain, snow and wind protection. (Nonbreathable rain gear almost ensures heavy sweating with dehydration and wetness.)

The purpose of having clothing “layers” is to prevent base and mid layers from becoming sweat-soaked when very active, by removing insulating layers. Cotton clothing, wet from absorbed sweat, rain, snow, foliage, etc., can induce hypothermia by the efficient cold conduction by water from even 50-degree air.

Each person must wear and carry the best clothing system needed for the forecast weather. Carry various hat and glove layers, not just your big woolly hat and mittens. Stuff your puffy down jacket into your light day-pack. It will help insulate you at lunch stops and through the night.

The onset of hypothermia in a companion is unmistakable to an informed

observer. The moment your body loses essential heat faster than it is producing heat, you will begin to shiver involuntarily and your body will begin to shut down blood flow to your extremities to maintain temperature in its core. You will begin to lose control of your hands, motor skills and reasoning. You will have the “umbles” — you will mumble, grumble, stumble, tumble, fumble and bumble.

Immediate action needs to be taken by your group.

Slow down or stop! Body heat is lost at a high rate from heavy breathing. Don’t permit yourselves to sweat. Don’t exhaust your limited glycogen reserves. Trying to find your way or reach an unrealistic destination can be a fatal error.

Starting a fire in a snow storm is generally impossible; “sheltering” in the snow requires special skills, insulating pads and snow shovels.

Your body produces heat from digesting food and from muscle contractions including uncontrollable shivering. Do not “curl up into a ball, sitting upright.” Exercise vigorously in place, eat and drink.

Here is how to be prepared: You must plan for the unexpected. Each person should dress for the forecast weather and carry extra clothing layers for protection from a drop in temperature and possible rain or snow storm or an unexpected cold wet night out, an insulating pad for the wet ground or snow, high carbohydrate snack food, two quarts of water or Gatorade, a map, compass and inexpensive GPS and the skills to use them together.

Carry the traditional “10 essential systems” in a day pack, sized for the season and the forecast weather.

Tell a responsible person where you are going, where you plan to park, when you will return and make sure that person will call 911 at the time you specified.

Carry your common digital cell phone, as well.

Help take the “search” out of search and rescue. SAR’s volunteer services are free in Oregon.

O Immorality of illegal immigration W

e know illegal immigration is no longer really unlawful, but is it moral?

Usually Americans debate the fiscal costs of illegal immigration. Supporters of open borders rightly remind us that illegal immigrants pay sales taxes. Often their payroll-tax contributions are not later tapped by Social Security payouts.

Opponents counter that illegal immigrants are more likely to end up on state assistance, are less likely to report cash income, and cost the state more through the duplicate issuing of services and documents in both English and Spanish. Such to-and-fro talking points are endless.

So is the debate over beneficiaries of illegal immigration. Are profit-minded employers villains who want cheap labor in lieu of hiring more expensive Americans? Or is the culprit a cynical Mexican government that counts on billions of dollars in remittances from its expatriate poor that it otherwise ignored?

Or is the engine that drives illegal immigration the American middle class?

Why should millions of suburbanites assume that, like 18th-century French aristocrats, they should have imported labor to clean their homes, manicure their lawns and watch over their kids?

Or is the catalyst the self-interested professional Latino lobby in politics

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON and academia that sees a steady stream of impoverished Latin American nationals as a permanent victimized constituency, empowering and showcasing elite self-appointed spokesmen such as themselves?

Or is the real advocate the Democratic Party that wishes to remake the electoral map of the American Southwest by ensuring larger future pools of natural supporters? Again, the debate over who benefits and why is never-ending.

But what is often left out of the equation is the moral dimension of illegal immigration. We see the issue too often reduced to caricature, involving a noble, impoverished victim without much free will and subject to cosmic forces of sinister oppression. But everyone makes free choices that affect others. So ponder the ethics of a guest arriving in a host country knowingly against its sovereign protocols and laws.

First, there is the larger effect on the sanctity of a legal system. If a guest ignores the law — and thereby often must

keep breaking more laws — should citizens also have the right to similarly pick and choose which statutes they find worthy of honoring and which are too bothersome? Once it is deemed moral for the impoverished to cross a border without a passport, could not the same arguments of social justice be used for the poor of any status not to report earned income or even file a 1040 form?

Second, what is the effect of mass illegal immigration on impoverished U.S. citizens? Does anyone care? When 10 million to 15 million aliens are here illegally, where is the leverage for the American working poor to bargain with employers? If it is deemed ethical to grant in-state tuition discounts to illegal-immigrant students, is it equally ethical to charge three times as much for out-of-state, financially needy American students — whose federal government usually offers billions to subsidize state colleges and universities? If foreign nationals are afforded more entitlements, are there fewer for U.S. citizens?

Third, consider the moral ramifications on legal immigration — the traditional great strength of the American nation. What are we to tell the legal immigrant from Oaxaca who got a green card at some cost and trouble, or who, once legally in the United States, went

through the lengthy and expensive process of acquiring citizenship? Was he a dupe to dutifully follow our laws?

And given the current precedent, if a million soon-to-be-impoverished Greeks, 2 million fleeing North Koreans, or 5 million starving Somalis were to enter the United States illegally and en masse, could anyone object to their unlawful entry and residence? If so, on what legal, practical or moral grounds?

Fourth, examine the morality of remittances. It is deemed noble to send billions of dollars back to families and friends struggling in Latin America.

But how is such a considerable loss of income made up? Are American taxpayers supposed to step in to subsidize increased social services so that illegal immigrants can afford to send billions of dollars back across the border?

What is the morality of that equation in times of recession? Shouldn’t illegal immigrants at least try to buy health insurance before sending cash back to Mexico?

The debate over illegal immigration is too often confined to costs and benefits. But ultimately it is a complicated moral issue — and one often ignored by all too many moralists.

servatives to show maturity and readiness to govern: “Blocking the treaty will produce three unfortunate results: It will strengthen Vladimir Putin, let the Obama administration off the hook when Russia misbehaves and set up Republicans as the fall guy if and when U.S.-Russian relations go south.”

Sen. Richard Lugar, the only Republican so far willing to vote with the president, was blunt in warning Kyl of the danger of playing politics with nukes.

His message underscored the hypocrisy of Republicans who shriek at the Iranians building a nuclear bomb while shrugging at the thousands of nukes that the Russians have floating around.

The Republicans may help Obama if they act so vindictive, entitled and puffed up that they turn off the voters who just anointed them.

Sarah Palin’s fans have hijacked what is supposed to be a fun talent contest, “Dancing With the Stars,” and turned it into an annoying straw vote for the Palin family. And days ago, as Americans were rebelling against groping airport pat-downs, the soon-to-be speaker of the House, who was supposed to travel like real Americans, put himself above the madding crowd.

The Times’ Jeff Zeleny was on the scene and reported that John Boehner did not wait in line or go through security: He “was escorted around the metal detectors and body scanners, and taken directly to the gate.”

So much for Reagan’s trust but verify.

Irish housing bust validates the Euroskeptics F ROSS

or an American tourist weaned on Gaelic kitsch and screenings of “The Quiet Man,” the landscape of contemporary Ireland comes as something of a shock. Drive from Dublin to the western coast and back, as I did two months ago, and you’ll still find all the thatched-roof farmhouses, winding stone walls and placid sheep that the postcards would lead you to expect. But around every green hill, there’s a swath of miniature McMansions. Past every tumble-down castle, a cascade of condominiums. In sleepy fishing villages that date to the days of Grace O’Malley, Ireland’s Pirate Queen (she was the Sarah Palin of the 16th century), half the houses look the part — but the rest could have been thrown up by the Toll brothers.

It’s as if there were only two eras in Irish history: the Middle Ages and the housing bubble.

This actually isn’t a bad way of thinking about Ireland’s 20th century. The island spent decade after decade isolated, premodern and rural — and then in just a few short years, boom, modernity!

The Irish sometimes say that their 1960s didn’t happen until the 1990s, when secularization and the sexual revolution finally began in earnest in what had been one of the most conservative and Catholic countries in the world. But Ireland caught up fast: The kind of social and economic change that took 50 years

DOUTHAT or more in many places was compressed into a single revolutionary burst.

There was a time, not so very long ago, when everyone wanted to take credit for this transformation. Free-market conservatives hailed Ireland’s rapid growth as an example of the miracles that free trade, tax cuts and deregulation can accomplish. (In 1990, Ireland ranked near the bottom of European Union nations in G.D.P. per capita. In 2005, it ranked second.)

Progressives and secularists suggested that Ireland was thriving because it had finally escaped the Catholic Church’s repressive grip, which kept horizons narrow and families large, and limited female economic opportunity. (An academic paper on this theme, “Contraception and the Celtic Tiger,” earned the Malcolm Gladwell treatment in the pages of The New Yorker.) The European elite regarded Ireland as a case study in the benefits of EU integration, since the more tightly the Irish bound themselves to Continental institutions,

the faster their gross domestic product rose.

Nobody tells those kinds of stories anymore. The Celtic housing bubble was more inflated than America’s (a lot of those McMansions are half-finished and abandoned), the Celtic banking industry was more reckless in its bets, and Ireland’s debts, private and public, make our budget woes look manageable by comparison. The Irish economy is on everybody’s mind again these days, but that’s because the government has just been forced to apply for a bailout from the EU, lest Ireland become the green thread that unravels the European quilt.

If the bailout does its work and the Irish situation stabilizes, the world’s attention will move on to the next EU country on the brink, whether it’s Portugal, Spain or Greece (again). But when the story of the Great Recession is remembered, Ireland will offer the most potent cautionary tale.

Nowhere did the imaginations of utopians run so rampant, and nowhere did they receive a more stinging rebuke.

To the utopians of capitalism, the Irish experience should be a reminder that the biggest booms can produce the biggest busts, and that debt and ruin always shadow prosperity and growth. To the utopians of secularism, the Irish experience should be a reminder that the waning of a powerful religious tradition can

W

breed decadence as well as liberation. (“Ireland found riches a good substitute for its traditional culture,” Christopher Caldwell noted, but now “we may be about to discover what happens when a traditionally poor country returns to poverty without its culture.”)

But it’s the utopians of European integration who should learn the hardest lessons from the Irish story. The continent-wide ripples from Ireland’s banking crisis have vindicated the Euroskeptics who argued that the EU was expanded too hastily, and that a single currency couldn’t accommodate such a wide diversity of nations. And the Irish government’s hat-in-hand pilgrimages to Brussels have vindicated every nationalist who feared that economic union would eventually mean political subjugation. The yoke of the European Union is lighter than the yoke of the British Empire, but Ireland has returned to a kind of vassal status all the same.

As for the Irish themselves, their idyllic initiation into global capitalism is over, and now they probably understand the nature of modernity a little better. At times, it can seem to deliver everything you ever wanted, and wealth beyond your dreams. But you always have to pay for it.

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

MAUREEN DOWD president drove Rahm Emanuel crazy by spending his first months in office toiling on the details of START when the chief of staff was trying to get him to focus on the economy and his domestic agenda.

Nuclear arms control, Wolffe writes, was one of Obama’s first interests as a student at Columbia University. And his head is still in those wonky clouds.

“Most people don’t really give a pig’s patootie about a nuclear arms deal with Russia,” James Carville told reporters recently. But he agreed that the president needed to get out of his spineless spiral, even repeating his put-down from the Democratic primaries, that if Hillary gave Barry one of her spheres of testicular fortitude, “they’d both have two.”

Just as Bill Clinton once snatched welfare reform from the Republicans, now President Barack Obama is playing W.’s national security card against the Republicans.

It would have been nice if Obama had made his tough stand earlier, on tax cuts or “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Popeye pulling out the spinach too late.

Still, if the president calls the Republicans’ bluff and makes them vote against ratification, they look petty. Is it worth risking the obliteration of the world to obliterate Obama’s second term?

In The Washington Post recently, Robert Kagan advised his fellow con-

Good schools begin with good parents hen I came to Washington, D.C., in 1988, the cold war was ending and the hot beat was national security and the State Department. If I were a cub reporter today, I’d still want to be covering the epicenter of national security — but that would be the Education Department. President Barack Obama got this one exactly right when he said that whoever “out-educates us today is going to out-compete us tomorrow.”

The bad news is that for years now we’ve been getting out-educated. The good news is that cities, states and the federal government are all fighting back. But have no illusions. We’re in a hole.

Here are a few data points that the secretary of education, Arne Duncan, offered in a Nov. 4 speech: “One-quarter of U.S. high school students drop out or fail to graduate on time. Almost 1 million students leave our schools for the streets each year. … One of the more unusual and sobering press conferences I participated in last year was the release of a report by a group of top retired generals and admirals. Here was the stunning conclusion of their report: 75 percent of young Americans, between the ages of 17 to 24, are unable to enlist in the military today because they have failed to graduate from high school, have a criminal record, or are physically unfit.” America’s youth are now tied for ninth in the world in college attainment.

“Other folks have passed us by, and we’re paying a huge price for that economically,” added Duncan in an interview. “Incremental change isn’t going to get us where we need to go. We’ve got to be much more ambitious. We’ve got to be disruptive. You can’t keep doing the same stuff and expect different results.”

Duncan, with bipartisan support, has begun several initiatives to energize reform — particularly his Race to the Top competition with federal dollars going to states with the most innovative reforms to achieve the highest standards. Maybe his biggest push, though, is to raise the status of the teaching profession. Why? Tony Wagner, the Harvard-based education expert and author of “The Global Achievement Gap,” explains it this way.

There are three basic skills that students need if they want to thrive in a knowledge economy: the ability to do critical thinking and problem-solving; the ability to communicate effectively; and the ability to collaborate.

If you look at the countries leading the pack in the tests that measure these skills (like Finland and Denmark), one thing stands out: They insist that their teachers come from the top one-third of their college graduating classes. As Wagner put it, “They took teaching from an assembly-line job to a knowledge-worker’s job. They have invested massively in how they recruit, train and support teachers, to attract and retain the best.”

Duncan disputes the notion that teachers’ unions will always resist such changes. He points to the new “breakthrough” contracts in Washington, D.C., New Haven, Conn., and Hillsborough County, Fla., where teachers have embraced higher performance standards in return for higher pay for the best performers.

“We have to reward excellence,” he said. “We’ve been scared in education to talk about excellence. We treated everyone like interchangeable widgets. Just throw a kid in a class and throw a teacher in a class.” This ignored the variation between teachers who were changing students’ lives, and those who were not. “If you’re doing a great job with students,” he said, “we can’t pay you enough.”

That is why Duncan is starting a “national teacher campaign” to recruit new talent. “We have to systemically create the environment and the incentives where people want to come into the profession. Three countries that outperform us — Singapore, South Korea, Finland — don’t let anyone teach who doesn’t come from the top third of their graduating class. And in South Korea, they refer to their teachers as ‘nation builders.’”

Duncan’s view is that challenging teachers to rise to new levels — by using student achievement data in calculating salaries, by increasing competition through innovation and charters — is not anti-teacher. It’s taking the profession much more seriously and elevating it to where it should be. There are 3.2 million active teachers in America today. In the next decade, half (the baby boomers) will retire. How we recruit, train, support, evaluate and compensate their successors “is going to shape public education for the next 30 years,” said Duncan. We have to get this right.

Republicans shouldn’t nuke START treaty WASHINGTON — ou know you’re in trouble when you need Henry Kissinger to vouch for you.

But there was the one formerly known as “The One” sitting at a table with a bunch of old, white, Republican dudes, choosing the most abstruse issue on the agenda for his moment to Man Up. With Republicans treating the president like a dirt sandwich and Democrats begging the president to throw a knuckle sandwich, Obama drew his line in the sand on telemetry.

The START arms treaty used to be a chance for American presidents to stare down the Russians. Now it’s a chance for a Democratic president, albeit belatedly, to stare down the Republicans.

The administration dilly-dallied for months on New START, which should have been a no-brainer, even after it was clear that Sen. Jon Kyl was a problem and needed to be cultivated, and even after it was clear that Republicans were on track to grab some power back.

But faced with the treaty’s unraveling, with possible deleterious consequences for sanctions on Iran and supply lines for our troops in Afghanistan, Obama had no choice. Even if the treaty doesn’t much affect our strategic security, it affects the relationship with Russia and our standing in the world. And resetting the relationship with Russia, with his buddy Dmitry, is the president’s only significant foreign policy accomplishment.

Besides, a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway doesn’t want to be responsible for any loose Russian nukes ending up in the crazy ’Stans.

The tea party’s fundamentalist streak dissected

At the end of his acrimonious 2000 primary dustup with John McCain, George W. Bush magnanimously told reporters, “I think we agree, the past is over.”

The former president had it wrong.

As Jill Lepore points out in her brief but lively portrait of our history-infected times, for folks like the tea party partisans, the past is not only not over, it’s not even past.

William Faulkner once made a similar observation in Requiem for a Nun. Tea partyers are right there with him.

Of course, every generation creates its own history and refashions the past to its own liking, and within each generation, multiple histories contend for preeminence. Nothing new about that.

What Lepore finds remarkable about history as told by the tea party is that it is history that has dispensed with time. Past and present are conflated. The founders are not back there, they are right here. They are phantasms marching in the streets against Obamacare. They are celebrities.

“Who’s your favorite founder?” Glenn Beck once asked Sarah Palin. “Um, you know, well,” she replied, “all of them.”

Lepore argues that tea party history is akin to fundamentalist religion: “People who ask what the founders would do quite commonly declare that they know, they know, they just know what the founders would do and, mostly, it comes to this: if only they could see us now, they would be rolling over in their graves. We have failed to obey their sacred texts, holy writ.

They suffered for us, and we have forsaken them. Come the day of judgment, they will damn us.

“That’s not history. It’s not civil religion, the faith in democracy that binds Americans together. It’s not originalism or even constitutionalism. That’s fundamentalism.”

Well, yes, that may be true, but bigger forces drive those tricorn hats and pious homages to the Constitution and Sam Adams: the long-handled spoons of corporate and conservative funders. And they’re using all the powers of marketing at their command to put George Washington’s seal of approval on tea party efforts.

In a scene from the 1980 film “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,” Carrie Fisher speaks with director Irvin Kershner during the carbon freezing scene. A new book, “The Making of ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,” goes in depth to the creation of the movie and the success of Lucasfilm.

Book delves into history of second ‘Star Wars’ film “The Making of ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’”

by J.W. Rinzler (Del Rey/LucasBooks, 362 pgs., $85)

By Tish Wells McClatchy-Tribune News Service

As part of the 30-year anniversary of classic movie “The Empire Strikes Back,” J.W. Rinzler has produced an indepth look not only at the film, but the creation of a film studio — Lucasfilm.

“The Empire Strikes Back” was the second of the six movies that make up the “Star Wars” saga. “The Making of ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’” shows that its success was done with intense planning, extremely hard work, and a lot of enthusiasm.

In 1977, the overwhelming box office success of “Star Wars” took the embryonic film company by surprise. “Lucasfilm wasn’t a big studio, or even a small studio.

It had a makeshift office called Park House, just north of San Francisco in San Anselmo, and — on a parcel of land owned by the company — a single trailer sitting in a parking lot across the street from Universal Studios in Los Angeles,” Rinzler writes.

But once filmmaker George Lucas returned from a Hawaiian vacation — where he and his friend Steven Spielberg had discussed the idea of a new project called “Raiders of the Lost Ark” — Lucas set about writing the script for “The Empire Strikes Back” and set in motion how it would be created, down to the smallest detail.

It’s clear that the film was not easy to make. A massive blizzard, and the coldest winter in 100 years, delayed shooting in

Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher, right) kisses Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) while an indignant Han Solo (Harrison Ford, background) looks on during filming of “The Empire Strikes Back.”

Norway. The mechanical Imperial Walkers were painstakingly filmed in stop-motion. A mirror over the bacta-tank where Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) would be immersed exploded, sending “these huge pieces of glass” into the water. As Kershner commented at the time, “if he had been in the tank, I don’t know that he would have survived.”

Three decades later, Rinzler, a senior editor at Lucasfilm, went into the archives and found old documents — including Lucas’ handwritten pre-script notes forgotten “in a box in the legal archive,” unpublished photographs, and old production sketches. He also found a treasure trove of ancient recordings.

In 1980, Alan Arnold published an authorized behindthe-scenes book called “Once Upon a Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’” After completing the

book, the Arnold tapes — interviews with Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), director Irvin Kershner, George Lucas and others — were stored away and later tossed in a trash can, only to be retrieved by an early Lucasfilm archivist. These tapes provide extensive insight, making the book more of “an oral history,” writes Rinzler.

The book is excellent at showing the infinite complexity of making a film. When one bank dropped out, they had to find funding for a million-dollar payroll — in less than a week. They also had to deal with a rabid fan base that occasionally went dumpster diving for information.

In the end, “The Empire Strikes Back” was an immense hit. It took a galaxy of willing hands to make, and Rinzler names them all.

partyers are not genuine. Lots of tea party folks are angry: about taxes and welfare and federal power and many other things. But what has given the tea party visibility, put a public face on it, wrapped it in that “Don’t Tread on Me” flag and put it on bus tours, has been conservative marketing, primarily driven by communications outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. and by advocacy groups such as Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks.

I certainly wish Lepore had explored this a bit further, but marketing and funding are not part of the story she wants to tell. We do learn that the Tea Party Express, which has a major role in her narrative, grew out of Our Country Deserves Better, an anti-Obama political action committee. But we never learn about the direct role of right-wing and Republican public relations and advertising operations in creating the Tea Party Express, nor do we learn the role of right-wing funders such as David Koch and Koch Industries in souping up the Tea Party Express message and methods.

Does the tea party movement tap into legitimate, grassroots displeasure with the state of America? Absolutely. How that displeasure manifests itself, however, is often a function of corporate marketing money. Enter the Tea Party Express.

That said, Lepore, a Harvard University historian and writer for the New Yorker, has a good ol’ time shooting fish in a barrel. But by far the most interesting and biting parts of her story come not from cleaning up messy and false tea party tales of the olden days, nor from her parallel account of the leftist history promoted by activists during the nation’s bicentennial in the 1970s.

What Lepore does best is rescue forgotten people and moments from the Revolutionary era and remind us beautifully of the many-layered power of place.

History and journalism combine for epic tale ‘The Warmth of Other Suns’ gives underreported history of black exodus from the South its due “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration”

by Isabel Wilkerson (Random House, 622 pgs., $30)

By Michael D. Schaffer The Philadelphia Inquirer

Half a century after the Civil War set African-Americans free, another war gave them the chance finally to flee the brutal apartheid that had replaced slavery in the American South.

World War I disrupted the flow of immigrants from Europe to the United States, forcing industries in the North to begin looking for a new pool of cheap labor. They found it in the African-Americans of the South, and sent recruiters into Dixie with a message of opportunity in the cities of the North.

The opportunity was more than just economic. It was a chance for a people, citizens but not fully free, to escape the system of legal segregation that demanded black deference to whites and often punished transgressions with death by lynching.

So began a migration that would long out-

last the labor needs of World War I. For more than half a century, until the 1970s, millions of African-Americans streamed out of the South toward the cities of the West and the North. Isabel Wilkerson tells their story superbly in “The Warmth of Other Suns,” a magnificent marriage of history and journalism. (The title phrase comes from a poem by the African-American novelist and poet Richard Wright.)

“Over the course of six decades, some six million black southerners left the land of their forefathers and fanned out across the country for an uncertain existence in nearly every other corner of America,” Wilkerson writes.

“The Great Migration would become a turning point in history.

It would transform urban America and recast the social and political order of every city it touched. … It was the first mass act of independence by a people who were in bondage in this country for far longer than they have been free.”

Beginning in the mid-1990s, Wilkerson,

who won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing as a reporter for the New York Times in 1994, interviewed more than 1,200 people, all of whom had been part of the migration.

She settled on three to carry her story: Ida Mae Gladney, who left the cotton fields of Chickasaw County, Miss., in 1937; George Starling, who fled central Florida in 1945, a step ahead of irate orange growers ready to lynch him for trying to organize pickers; and Robert Foster, a surgeon who packed up his Buick Roadmaster and set out for California in 1953.

Wilkerson, now a journalism professor at Boston University, retraced the journeys of her three main characters, including Foster’s epic, nearly sleepless, drive across the vastness of the Southwest at a time when interstates didn’t yet exist and public lodging for blacks was scarce.

Alternating among her characters, Wilkerson draws a reader into her narrative as she weaves a verbal tapestry, spun from beautifully turned phrases and rich in detail.

Relying on all those hours of meticulous interviewing, Wilkerson fleshes out her characters as completely as if they were characters in a novel: Gladney is the indomitable matriarch, Starling the upright and

indignant man who pushes back against a racist society, and Foster the striver, anxious that his achievements be properly acknowledged.

In Foster, Wilkerson found an especially fascinating character, a skilled surgeon and compassionate healer of enormous ego and enormous insecurity, obsessed with status symbols. She clearly likes him and just as clearly sees his flaws.

The world that the black newcomers found in the North was far from being a heaven of racial amity, but it was lightyears better than what they had left behind in the South. For one thing, they could vote, as Ida Mae Gladney found to her surprise in 1940. Back in the South, she would never have ventured to the polls. If she had, Wilkerson writes, “she would have been turned away for failing to pay a poll tax or not being able to answer a question on a literary test for which there was no answer, such as how many grains of sand there were on the beach. ...”

Wilkerson argues that historians have not paid sufficient attention to the Great Migration, that it was seismic but silent, unorganized and spread out over decades.

“It would become,” she writes, “the biggest underreported story of the twentieth century.”

Not any longer.

Question: It would be better for my husband’s health if we could move to a retirement community, but we’re not sure if that’s advisable, given the economy. What would you suggest?

Question: I have low back pain that becomes worse the longer that I stand. I have pain that goes straight down the back of my legs. Someone said I have “sciatica”. What does this mean?

Answer: Retirement communities have made adjustments to keep up with people’s changing financial realities. The good news is that today you have even more choices.

Tom Biel Executive Vice Renting, of course, remains an option.

President Another option is a “refundable deposit plan,” which is common in the industry. Plus, there are several customized alternatives available. It’s important to look beyond the first year. Ask the community to help project your costs for at least three to five years. It may be that a “refundable deposit plan” could save you tens of thousands of dollars over renting in just three to five years.

For active-adult retirees, these savings can frequently exceed $100,000.

Answer: “Sciatica” refers to the pain caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain that typically runs down the leg from the buttock around the outside of the leg, the front of the knee and to the inside of the ankle.

Touchmark at Mt. Bachelor Village works with families and their financial/legal advisors to help determine the best decision for their situation. Call us at 541-383-1414, and we’ll help you look into the future.

Zeyla Brandt, P.T.

If the pain runs straight down the back of your leg, there is the possibility that your pelvic joints may be part of the problem. If these joints are unstable, the pelvis can twist slightly, causing rotation of the low back as well as direct irritation in your buttock and pain down the back of the leg.

Some physical therapists have pursued further education in the treatment of the low back and pelvis, allowing for effective evaluation and treatment of these problems. At Healing Bridge we spend an hour every treatment, focusing on individual attention and treatments designed especially to facilitate your return to normal, pain free activity, allowing you to “get your life back”.

FA M I LY M E D I C I N E QUESTION: Most women are urged to ingest more calcium for strong bones. But, are hard calcium deposits caused by an excess intake?

ANSWER: Maintaining adequate calcium intake is recommended for all women over the age of 11 to help build strong bone matrix as you age. In general, physicians recommend calcium supplements on top of dietary calcium in all women of child bearing Kevin Reuter, age and older. The regulation of calcium levels in M.D. the body is complex and related to vitamin D levels, kidney function, and to a chemical produced by your parathyroid glands that regulates bony calcium absorption and release. If you are healthy, these factors all contribute to keep calcium levels constant in your blood. However, in certain groups of patients, such as those with kidney disease or intestinal malabsorption, calcium levels can rise or fall.

A variety of conditions can occur in these circumstances including calcium pyrophosphate deposition disorders (such as pseudogout, pseudoarthritis, and pseudoneuropathy), kidney stones, renal osteodystrophy, vascular calcification, and calciphylaxis. However, these conditions are very rare and generally preventable by following renal function and blood calcium levels. If you have concerns about calcium supplements, talk to your family physician or internist and have your blood calcium levels checked.

PERMANENT MAKEUP

QUESTION: What is the difference between a Cosmetic Filler and a Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment, and which one should I choose?

ANSWER: Many clients ask this question, and can be confused by all of the choices offered for cosmetic rejuvenation. Cosmetic fillers are used to increase the volume in your skin, when the skin begins to lose its natural firmness. Fillers are used primarily in the lips, nasal label fold (the line from the nose to the mouth), Marionette lines (the lines from the lip down to the chin), and cheek enhancement. Fillers are an injection, and can cause some bruising and or swelling to the skin. Fillers give immediate results, with results that can last for long periods of time.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation can increase the production of your own natural Becky Carter Medical Esthetician collagen, and can produce smoother, softer and tighter looking skin. In most cases, Laser Skin Rejuvenation can take several treatments to obtain Certified Laser long lasting results. The results with Laser Skin Rejuvenation are not Technician immediate as with fillers, but can give results that can last for years.

So which do you choose? In most cases, the best results are when they two procedures are used together. The filler can plump the folds or lines and creases, and the Laser can smooth, tighten and tone the skin. This approach gives the best results because you get the immediate effect of the filler, and the long lasting results of the Laser. With these two procedures, you can receive a mini face lift look without surgery or anesthesia. This approach offers a safer, more natural look , and a more affordable alternative to plastic surgery.

Many times at The Enhancement Center we offer free laser treatment when you have a Filler treatment. Along with the Filler and Laser Special, we offer a free Microdermabrasion treatment when you have a Botox™ treatment. We will be offering this special for the Holiday season on Dec 4th!

As acupuncturists, our approach is to proactively treat the acute injury with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to prevent the manifestation of chronic pain. We recommend that patients receive treatment as soon as possible after their injury. The number of acupuncture sessions required to achieve maximum results depends on the patient’s underlying cause of their muscle strain and the overall health of their body.

With rest and conservative care alone it can take a patient up to four weeks for their symptoms to subside, however by taking a proactive approach with acupuncture treatment, a patient can expect to feel improvement within a matter of days..

HEADACHES Q U E S T I O N : I get headaches weekly and occasionally I think I get migraines. A friend told me to ask my dentist about my headaches. I can’t figure out what my teeth have to do with my headaches.

ANSWER: Until a few years ago there would have been no reason to consider your dentist as a possible treatment option for your headaches.

Fortunately things have changed. Our profession has learned a lot about how ones bite relates to the airway, posture, and muscle harmony. If any part of that system is not in harmony you can be susceptible to many symptoms including headaches. It is a very complex system and requires a lengthy explanation to understand it well. In a nut shell, I use sophisticated computer instrumentation to determine your ideal bite based on relaxed muscles. I consider your airway as well as your posture and how they relate to your bite. I commonly work with other professionals to improve your entire head and neck relationship including physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. If these efforts are coordinated the benefits can be extremely effective. I hope this brief explanation helps. I also do a community education series where you can hear with much more detail how your headaches can be improved by improving your bite.

QUESTION: I am a 40 year old woman and have had three children and now want to get rid of my tummy including my loose skin and excess fat. One of my friends says I need liposuction and the other says I need a tummy tuck. Which do I really need?

A NSWER : The possibility that you would have any problems or reactions from having permanent makeup is almost nil with today’s Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional health standards. Technicians must be licensed by the state and follow strict guidelines that conform to OSHA and Center of disease control (CDC).

Numerous studies have shown that even for people that have large body tattoos, there is very little potential for irritation resulting from a MRI study. The small amount of iron oxide in the pigment (which is mixed with glycerin, water and alcohol) has much less metallurgic components than dental illings.

ANSWER: Absolutely! The most common acute injuries that we see in our practice are muscle strains and sprains, especially low-back strain.

According to research, more than 80% of adults experience acute low-back pain at some point in their life. Without appropriate care, acute lowback pain can turn into chronic low-back pain.

SKIN CARE QUESTION: I have heard that acupuncture is helpful for the treatment of chronic pain. Is it a good therapy for an acute injury as well?

Adam Angeles, M.D.

Answer: You find yourself in a very common dilemma. Depending upon your anatomy and what your specific goals are, you may only need liposuction if you have localized deposits of fat and good skin tone. Alternatively, you may need a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty which will remove fat, loose skin and tighten your abdominal wall all at the same time. A thorough personal consultation will address your dilemma and put you on the right track.

QUESTION: Dear Dr. Villano, in the media I’ve seen more and more about “volume replacement” for the aging face. What is volume replacement and how do I achieve it? I am interested in adding volume to my cheeks but do not wish to pursue surgery. What do you recommend?

ANSWER: In recent months the media have focused on volume replacement as the newest

Michael E. Villano, trend in facial plastic surgery. As one ages, not M.D.

only does sagging occur but loss of soft tissue volume occurs akin to when a grape becomes a raisin. Volume replacement is a concept where one replaces the lost volume in the face that occurs when one ages. This manifests itself in a hollowed look around the eyes or “sagging” of the cheeks as you correctly point out. I often will employ a variety of fillers for different regions of the face including Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane and Sculptra. For generalized volume replacement of the face, I recommend Sculptra. Sculptra is a FDA approved filler that restores volume throughout the face and cheeks well.

It helps fill in fine lines, resulting in a natural, long-lasting (up to three years), youthful appearance. Even for those who desire surgery, I often recommend volume replacement in conjunction to achieve a better result.

QUESTION:

I have had chronic constipation my entire life. I have tried many things including laxatives, but nothing works. How often is normal for a person to have a bowel movement and what else can I do?

• Educational Consultant • Dermatology • Homeopathic/Holistic Medicine • Plastic Surgery • Chiropractic • Ophthalmology • Pain Medicine • Optometry • Ear, Nose & Throat • Colon & Rectal Surgery • Cosmetic Dentistry • Mental Illness • Thoracic, Vascular & Vein Surgery

A NSWER :

“Normal” bowel movements should happen 1-3 times/day. If the bowel does not evacuate daily, stool and waste are sitting in the colon creating a build up of toxins which can have many detrimental effects. There can be many causes of constipation: Kerie Raymond, dehydration, lack of fiber, hypothyroidism, lack of N.D. exercise, etc. The quickest fix is to look at water intake.

One should consume half your body weight in ounces of water (i.e. 200 lb. person should drink 100 oz. water/day). Vitamin C is another deficiency, up to 6000 mg can be taken/day in divided doses. Work up slowly and back off if diarrhea occurs. Magnesium citrate can be a good natural stool softener, take 1-3 caps at bedtime. There are many herbs that can act as laxatives, however like any laxative, they can be habit forming, and some like Senna can discolor the intestinal lining. Another alternative that many patients have found very useful is colon hydrotherapy or colonics. Water is introduced to the large intestine to flush waste and toxins from the colon.

Another benefit is exercising the muscles surrounding the colon that may have become “atonic” over time. Many patients have experienced normal, regular bowel movements after a series of colonics at our office.

Colon hydrotherapy is now available at our office.

Book provides intimate account of immigrant life

Nuclear Continued from F1 The decommissioning operation at Zion, which began Sept. 1, will skip one of the slowest, dirtiest and most costly parts of tearing down a nuclear plant: separating radioactive materials, which must go to a licensed dump, from nonradioactive materials, which can go to an ordinary industrial landfill.

The new idea is not to bother sorting the two. Instead, anything that could include radioactive contamination will be treated as radioactive waste.

Exelon could never have done this on its own, because the fee for disposing of radioactive waste was too high. But the company has given the reactor to EnergySolutions, a conglomerate that includes companies that have long done nuclear cleanups, and which also owns a nuclear dump.

“This is a first-of-a-kind arrangement,” said Adam Levin, director of spent fuel and decommissioning at Exelon.

He added that others could do the job for less than Exelon and acknowledged, “utilities in general are not very good at tearing plants down.”

Government regulations require that nuclear reactor sites be thoroughly decontaminated, so that they can be released for re-use — often a lengthy process.

The plan is to return Zion’s site, in the midst of parkland on the Lake Michigan shore north of Chicago, to re-use by 2020 — 12 years earlier than expected under Exelon’s original plan, which was to begin in 2013 and finish in 2032.

Any money left over from the $900 million in the plant’s decommissioning fund goes back to electricity customers in the Chicago area.

On Sept. 1, Exelon transferred ownership, along with the license issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to EnergySolutions, which is based in Salt Lake City.

The company owns a onesquare-mile area of desert about 70 miles west of there, in Clive, Utah, where most of the Zion plant is supposed to be shipped.

The dump in Clive already has parts of several other defunct nuclear plants — including Maine Yankee in Wiscasset, Maine, and Yankee Rowe in Rowe, Mass.

In those two cases, the reactor owners tried to sort the radioactive materials from the nonradioactive, in order to dispose of ordinary concrete and steel at recycling centers or industrial landfills. It turned out to be a costly mistake, many in the industry now say.

Workers used a device like a pneumatic drill to “scabble” the concrete, knocking off the surface layer.

“It got to be very, very complicated and nasty work,” said Andrew Kadak, a nuclear consultant who at the time was president of the company that operated Yankee Rowe.

“It’s easier to suppose everything is radioactive,” Kadak said.

Sometimes a contractor hired to decommission plants would also find radioactive material in unexpected places or at unexpectedly

The steam piping that has been disconnected from the turbine at the retired Zion Station nuclear power plant in Zion, Ill., waits to be properly taken care of. The decommissioning operation began Sept. 1.

Radiation warnings mark the entrance to the north reactor building at the Zion Station nuclear power plant. The operation will skip the slowest and most costly part of tearing down a nuclear power plant: separating radioactive materials from nonradioactive materials. Instead, anything that could be contaminated will be treated as radioactive waste. high levels, other experts said.

Crowds of workers would stand idle while the contractor sought the plant owner’s authorization to deviate from the procedures specified in the contract — a costly proposition at a site with 500 workers paid collectively “$30,000 to $50,000 an hour,” said John Christian, president of the Commercial Services subsidiary of EnergySolutions.

At Rowe, managers finally gave up and shipped vast amounts of concrete, much of it clean, to the repository in Clive.

The new plan for Zion, by far the largest nuclear power plant to be decommissioned and the first twin-unit reactor to be torn down, eliminates the relationship between contractor and owner.

EnergySolutions has hardly any internal cost for burial, beyond shipping.

Mark Walker, a spokesman for EnergySolutions, said that the dump could accommodate all 104 of the nation’s operating nuclear plants, “with space left over.”

It could also absorb plants that are shut and awaiting decommissioning, like Indian Point 1 in Buchanan, N.Y.; Millstone 1 in Waterford, Conn.; and Three Mile Island 2, near Harrisburg, Pa., the site of the 1979 accident.

Not everyone is delighted with the idea of Exelon turning the job over to EnergySolutions.

Tom Rielly, the executive principal of Vista 360, a community group in nearby Libertyville, Ill., said that with a monopoly provider of dump space also functioning as the contractor, it would be difficult to determine what was being charged for disposal and whether electricity customers were getting

a good deal.

But approval from utility regulators in Illinois was not required for the deal, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave its assent, so the work is going forward.

EnergySolutions cannot dispose of all the waste.

Clive is licensed only for the least contaminated material.

And the spent nuclear fuel is in the same situation as used reactor fuel all over the country: The Energy Department is under contract to take it but has no place to dispose of it.

Until a permanent repository is built at the proposed Yucca Mountain facility in Nevada or another location, the waste will stay at the Zion site in steel and concrete casks built to last for decades.

Frank Flammini, a control room operator, has worked at the Zion Station since before it shut down.

The room, filled with 1970sstyle dials, used to have at least six people around the clock, but on a recent afternoon he sat alone in the control room with his coffee cup, next to the one modern piece of equipment, a flat-panel display showing the temperature, water level and humidity of the room housing the spent fuel.

Flammini, 54, said he was called on now and then to make sure equipment was “tagged out” so that workers could safely dismantle it. But hours go by with little to do.

Flammini said he knew his job here was not permanent.

“It’ll get very busy for about four years, and then it’ll go away entirely,” he said.

“How to Read the Air” opens audaciously — Dinaw Mengestu’s unnamed narrator writes of his parents with impossible intimacy. He knows what his mother thinks as she stands before a mirror a year before he is born, what she hears in the middle of the night, what she feels when his father’s breath touches her neck.

This is, of course, the project of fiction — the full imagining, the stretch of empathy — but it is notable that this story is not simply told, but told by her son.

That son, Jonas, is 30, trying to understand his own failed marriage through the lens of his parents’. He follows the path of a road trip they took through America’s heartland as recent African immigrants; his story and theirs alternate chapters. Always, though, it is clear that Jonas is doing the telling.

“This is how I like to picture him, whether it’s accurate or not,” he imagines his father.

“A man standing underneath, or perhaps even across from, a row of trees in search of a home on a summer night. If he was ever happy here, and I doubt he was, it would have been on that evening, which I’ve only just now invented for him. ...

Regardless, history sometimes deserves a little revision, if not for the sake of the dead then at least for ourselves.”

This inclination toward revision is both a habit and a vocation. After college, Jonas slides into a job at a Manhattan refugee center. He reads applications for asylum, and with a nod from his supervisor, juices up immigrants’ stories. In his hands, a family’s departure from Liberia to Dubai via business class turns into weeks in

a church, hiding from soldiers.

A brick thrown through a window becomes a house burned to the ground. What the agency and clients need are the stories that the people with power to grant them immigration want to hear.

This grates against Angela, a young attorney volunteering at the center. Nevertheless, she and Jonas soon fall in love.

Their relationship is filled with a tenderness neither had growing up and they create a private world.

They selected their own cafe, their own bench and share cute private jokes.

Sometimes, like any couple, they make up stories together, grand and silly imaginings about their life together.

This life begins to wither after Jonas loses his job.

Through her connections at her firm, Angela helps get him a new one, teaching English at a private school. Yet her practical concerns — money, moving forward — clash with his, which are more dreamy and existential. Where they once shared stories, they now have unhappy silences.

Still, they’re doing better than his parents, whose relationship’s toxicity is revealed the more Jonas recalls. His father brutalized his mother; she was trapped, unemotional.

She longs for escape; it takes years. For Jonas, any revision that gives them inner lives, that opens up their own strange logic and inflicted fears, is an act of grace.

“As soon as my father said the last two words of that sentence, he felt the abrupt and dramatic shift in the air that precedes any violent confrontation.

Something vibrated, buzzed.”

Jonas imagines. “The world around us is alive, he would have said, with our emotions and thoughts, and the space between any two people contains them all.” This is an elegant

doubling, the father coming alive on the page, redeemed in a way by words the son gives him.

This is exactly what happens late in the novel, when Jonas tells his students of his father’s emigration from Africa to America.

Jonas takes over whole classes (and Mengestu fills pages of the novel) with the story. It is compelling, filled with brilliant detail: a desert journey in the back of a truck, hiding under a blue tarp; a dusty port town; a friend, a betrayal, the terrifying shape of the journey across the sea. Of course, it is as invented as anything Jonas came up with for his asylum seekers.

In crafting this richly imagined scene for his father, Jonas is filling his students’ expectations, and Mengestu is slyly pointing out what readers seem to crave of immigrant narratives. Like the immigration officials, readers want drama and arc; reviewers praise exotic street scenes and tenuous escapes, overlooking the fighting couple pulling off an Illinois highway.

Dinaw Mengestu was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and emigrated two years later to Illinois with his mother, where his father waited for them. His first novel, “The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears,” won the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for first fiction in 2008.

Our reviewer, Chris Abani (a UC Riverside professor from Nigeria) wrote that Mengestu “made, and made well, a novel that is a retelling of the immigrant experience, one in which immigrants must come to terms with the past.”

Now Mengestu, 32, who lives with his wife in Paris, is creating more than a sweeping portrait of the immigrant experience.

He’s pulled off a narrative slight of hand, weaving two — or is it three? — beautiful fictions, while reminding us subtly that the most seductive may be the least true.

Central Oregon’s smaller dairy industry stays vibrant by catering to buy local, healthy movement

JOHN STEARNS

Resort talk promising

T

he new owners of Eagle Crest and Brasada Ranch are moving quickly on plans to improve the resorts physically and operationally and to elevate their marketing. Assuming the owners deliver, those resorts’ residents and visitors should benefit — and a better resort product will surely help the region’s vital tourism economy.

A joint venture of Northview Hotel Group and a subsidiary of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management LP bought the Redmond-area and Powell Butte resorts and Running Y Resort in Klamath Falls on Nov. 19. Resort upgrades are planned by summer.

“We are going to be in and out extremely quickly,” Simon Hallgarten, a Northview partner based in Westport, Conn., said of physical work the group plans. He estimates $8 million to $10 million will be spent improving the three resorts, largely before July 4.

The 100 rooms in Eagle Crest’s hotel will get redone. “Our goal there is to really make them feel like they’re a brand new guest room,” Hallgarten said. Other changes include creating an impressive new lobby. “What (Eagle Crest) needs is some hospitality TLC.” I agree. (For full disclosure, I have family living at Eagle Crest.) As Hallgarten says, the resort has good bones — it just needs attention in places.

Jeld-Wen did a fantastic job developing its resorts, “but on the hospitality side, by their own admission, they weren’t hotel guys,” Hallgarten said of the window and door company. “It’s not knocking them in any way.”

At Northview, “we run hotels, that’s what we do.” Northview will manage the resorts for the partnership.

Hallgarten shared ideas for where Northview wants to take the resorts and for elevating their hospitality profile. He understands Central Oregon and its resort dynamics. And he seems to have a hospitality focus that some resort critics say the industry lost, becoming subdivisions with golf courses.

Lot sales are important, too, particularly at Brasada Ranch, where housing development is in its infancy, but Northview seems focused on the total package, knowing that delivering compelling resort experiences will draw future buyers. And the real estate market won’t stay half-price for long, Hallgarten says.

“The mountains haven’t gotten any less spectacular,” he said, reeling off a list of the area’s features. “We feel pretty bullish that the market is going to come back.”

In addition to Eagle Crest, Northview sees big potential to raise awareness of Brasada Ranch as a travel destination, which already has top components that include 80 upscale cabins for overnight accommodations. It plans a newly enlarged spa, reconfigured lobby, new meeting space and significant landscaping upgrades, according to a news release.

“We are going to go head to head with Sunriver,” Hallgarten said. “You’re going to start seeing differences in levels of service. We’re going to change the feel of the place.”

Northview has a track record that includes repositioning Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys with a $42 million renovation in 2007-08. Andy Newman, a spokesman for the Florida Keys tourism council, isn’t familiar with Northview but says the improvements were noticeable. “It’s certainly one of the top resorts in the Florida Keys,” Newman said.

Northview’s financial backer in the Oregon resorts is Oaktree, an investment manager with more than $79 billion in assets under management. Each Northview partner also has a “significant” investment, Hallgarten said.

Northview has brought in a managing director for the three Oregon resorts, Scott Pickert from Northern California, who was involved in developing Renaissance ClubSport, a concept to attach a large health club to a hotel to create a hotel fitness resort. Pickert understands what club members want and the dynamic of mixing hotel and recreational amenities to create an experience that will cater to all resort constituents, from golf club members to residents and guests, Hallgarten said.

It’s difficult to draw too many conclusions from one phone conversation with Hallgarten, but his words seem to dovetail with Jeld-Wen President and CEO Ron Wendt’s: that Northview’s a “great fit for the (three) resort properties’ strengths and future potential.”

The unfolding of Northview’s game plan will be interesting to watch.

CONSUMER REPORTS

Retailers deemed naughty or nice

CHICAGO — Just in time for the holidays, Consumer Reports has released a list of 10 companies that it believes have been naughty to shoppers, and 10 that have been deemed as nice.

The Naughty & Nice Holiday List is based on input from Consumer Reports’ reporters and editors who cover such areas as shopping, travel, hospitality and telecommunications. Consumer Reports notes that the Naughty & Nice Holiday List is based on specific policies and doesn’t reflect the company as a whole.

The 10 companies called out for naughty policies, in no particular order, are: • Verizon Wireless: Doubled to $350 the early termination fee imposed on consumers who cancel their smart-phone contract after the 30-day grace period.

Verizon kept the penalty at $175 for consumers with conventional cell phones.

uring the height of Central Oregon’s agrarian era in the 1950s, more than 300 small dairy farms milked cows and most every town had its own dairy processing plant.

Today, there’s only a handful of dairy farms and one processing plant left, but operators see hope for future opportunities through greener dairy businesses and catering to the buy local, buy healthy consumer trends.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Bend and Redmond each had three dairy processors that converted milk delivered by dairy farmers into products ranging from bottled milk to butter, cottage cheese, ice cream and other products.

Madras had the Valley View Dairy processor.

Prineville Creamery processed milk products in Prineville.

Eberhard’s Dairy Products in Redmond is the only Grade A dairy processing plant left in Central Oregon, according to Bob Eberhard, 71, who owns and operates the business along with his nephew, Mark Eberhard.

“At one time we had about 200 cream patrons right here in Central Oregon,” Bob Eberhard said. That’s what the Eberhards called the dairy farmers who delivered milk to their original creamery.

“We purchased cream that was separated on the farm. Most of the farmers had four or five cows, and they’d bring us the cream and feed the skim milk to their cows and chickens,” Eberhard said.

During dairy’s heyday in the 1950s, many Central Oregon communities had their own dairy processing plant. But today, Eberhard’s Dairy in Redmond, run

by Bob Eberhard, is the only Grade A dairy processing plant remaining.

Squinkies: How to make a hot holiday toy

Midway through last year, as analysts tried to predict where the economy was going, toy maker Bill Nichols decided he had the answer. He bet that the economy would still be shaky this holiday season and that a bargain-priced plastic toy would take off.

With the help of “mommy bloggers” and a tepid economy, Nichols turned the squishy toys, named Squinkies, into a fad.

Walmart.com has been sold out of them for more than a week, and stores nationwide are sold out or limiting how many Squinkies each person can buy. Like Beanie Babies or Zhu Zhu Pets, the toys are collectible — the hundreds of characters include a Lhasa apso dog and a tiny bride — but they are much cheaper, selling for $10 for a 16-pack.

“Demand is tight,” said Laura Phillips, senior vice president for toys and seasonal merchandising at Walmart.

Central Oregon dairy industry, by the numbers

Blip Toys introduced Squinkies at 16 for $10, and suddenly it can’t keep up with the orders.

Despite the decline in number of dairy farms and hometown processing plants, Oregon Department of Agriculture reports that in 2009 total dairy production has held its No. 3 position in the state’s agriculture industry, behind cattle and nursery and greenhouse plant sales.

Trained for battle, now operating a small business

By Pamela Ryckman New York Times News Service

In November 2004, during Justin Bajema’s second tour of duty in Iraq, his LAV-25 infantry fighting vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device. Surrounded by heavy machine-gun fire, he was pinned under 28,000 pounds in a drained canal for 40 minutes.

“It threw my vehicle in the air like a

toy,” he recalled. “I almost lost my leg, almost bled out and died.”

He endured eight operations and spent six weeks in the hospital, but doctors were able to save his left leg. He learned to walk again on a limb with no sensory nerves.

“That experience made me question everything,” said Bajema, a Marine corporal. “I later dropped out of busi-

ness school because they were teaching me to get a job, but I knew I was here to do more than the daily grind. So I made the decision to start this business.”

In 2008, Bajema returned to Grand Rapids, Mich., his hometown, and began buying and renovating foreclosed properties with money he had saved while in the service. He was trying to regain the confidence he lost when he

was injured in war.

“I was sick of taking orders,” he said.

“I was looking for a bigger purpose.”

While combat veterans face countless challenges in their transitions back to civilian life, Bajema and many of his peers credit the military with giving them the courage, discipline and determination to start businesses.

Anonymous online chatting rises as a business venture Popular video site has given rise to several offshoots; the challenge now is to keep them PG

By Jenna Wortham New York Times News Service

Remember Chatroulette, the website that pairs strangers for anonymous video chats? It was all the rage among the Web’s tastemakers early this year.

Then the creeps took over, and the technorati moved on.

But there was something enduring about Chatroulette’s mash-up of serendipity and human connections. Now a number of entrepreneurs and Web tinkerers are hoping to spin that concept into business opportunities — while keeping the creep factor to a minimum.

One of them is Matt Hunter, a 27-year-old software developer in San Francisco who created TextSlide. It matches random users and lets them chat via texting.

To protect privacy, the service displays only users’ screen names as well as their area codes, which Hunter hopes can serve as an icebreaker. When they tire of one another or the conversation veers off topic, they can request a new partner.

“I learned a lot from watching that site,” Hunter said of Chatroulette. “There is a desire to connect with someone new in a short-form way, but if you don’t give people something to talk about, it quickly devolves into questions about age, sex and location.”

To counter that, Hunter plans to allow users to select topics of interest as a way to find likeminded conversation partners.

For now the service is still in test mode, and there is a waiting list to sign up.

Another startup, vChatter, is trying to continue the fun of face-to-face video chats with strangers, but ideally in a more family friendly way.

“It was hard not to go, ‘Wow, people really want to do this or else they would never put up with so many naked guys,’” said Will Bunker, one of the founders of the company.

VChatter requires that users sign in using their Facebook identity, which discourages bad behavior. But the only details

Matt Hunter’s creation, TextSlide, matches random users and lets them chat via texting. “There is a desire to connect with someone new in a short-form way,” Hunter says.

“It’s the same idea as if you were in a cafe and met up with someone reading a similar book and started talking to them.”

— Paul Orlando, the founder of Chatfe, which connects users interested in the same topic visible to talk partners are one’s first name and location. Using Facebook logins has another advantage: the company can skim user profiles and match people with similar interests.

“As we evolved, we realized it makes it more interesting for people,” Bunker said. “It’s still unknown, but not totally random.”

The company says it has around 2.5 million users and had half a million visitors in the past month. Bunker said vChatter had raised a quarter of a million dollars from early investors and planned to announce a round of venture capital financing in a few months. He hopes to support the service with advertising.

Chatfe, a startup based in New York, is aiming to generate longer and more meaningful interactions over the phone. The service connects users interested in the same topic, like backpacking around India or training for a marathon, for phone conversations.

“It’s the same idea as if you were in a cafe and met up with someone reading a similar book

and started talking to them,” said Paul Orlando, the company’s founder. “When you speak to someone, you have to invest more in that conversation.”

After confirming their phone number with the service, users can designate what subjects they want to talk about and pick a time to chat. The service finds an appropriate match and calls the two users during that window.

For now it works over landlines and mobile phones, but eventually, Orlando said, Chatfe will add a browser-based chat tool as well.

Chatroulette has given rise to several other playful offshoots.

Facelette matches people using Apple’s video-calling feature FaceTime, while Feedback Roulette offers a way for people to get anonymous commentary on the design of their websites.

It is not clear whether any of these services will be able to sustain the attention of users beyond the initial novelty stage. After all, Web denizens can be fickle, and interest in social networking fads can fade in a flash. But the early and stratospheric popular-

ity of Chatroulette could indicate that the idea has staying power.

“Very often, a startup that gets as much attention as Chatroulette is either ahead of its time or gets overwhelmed with the actual maintenance of the site,” said Melanie Turek, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan, a research firm.

“Then there’s an opportunity for version 2.0 to tweak the concept just enough, and enter the market with a better understanding of what people want and how to run that type of business.”

Andrey Ternovskiy, the 18year-old creator of Chatroulette, said he did not see the new crop of services as competition.

“It is always cool for me to see other kinds of ‘roulette’ sites out there,” he said. “If people like it, then why not? For a long time, people did not feel comfortable to broadcast their emotions and actual selves on the Web, and this offers that.”

Ternovskiy said he had spent the last several months working furiously to clean up the site in an effort to recapture the original wildfire interest in it. He has hired a team of moderators to cycle through users and flag the ones who are disrobing or otherwise misbehaving. Those users find themselves redirected to Hustler’s website, which pays Chatroulette for the referrals.

And the home page of Chatroulette now bears this request: “Please stay fully clothed.”

Squinkies Continued from G1 Children cannot seem to resist scooping up the latest toys, which come in plastic bubbles like a vending machine would dispense, or pronouncing the Squinkies name with glee.

Nichols’ toy story has defied the odds at a tough time for small manufacturers. His company, Blip Toys, is a 16-person operation in Minnetonka, Minn.

It faces competition from giants like Mattel and Hasbro with multimillion-dollar advertising budgets. Big retailers, like Toys R Us, Target and Walmart, all want exclusive toys to offer. Independent retailers who might take a chance on smaller manufacturers have all but disappeared.

It is also a dicey time for simple toys, often overshadowed during the holidays by games and gadgets featuring the latest technology. A best-selling toy these days has to reflect market research, sell at a certain price and spur interest from customers even before it is on shelves. But Nichols seems to have a hit on his hands.

“They hit the sweet spot for what’s hot in girls these days,” said Gerrick Johnson, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.

Squinkies are sold out or on back order at many stores, and Nichols is busily expanding the line, with sets for boys based on characters like Spider-Man and new dolls based on Barbie and Hello Kitty.

Toy fads In the toy industry, like in Hollywood, there can be surprise hits. “Most of the time it’s an item that retailers don’t expect to be huge, and they underorder,” said Jim Silver, editor in chief of TimetoPlayMag.com.

Silver remembers five toys that took off:

TICKLE-ME-ELMO, 1996

BEANIE BABIES, 1997

POKÉMON, 1999

BAKUGAN, 2008

ZHU ZHU PETS, 2009

Tyco Toys After supplies of this toy, based on the good-natured Sesame Street character, sold out in the first few hours of Black Friday, shoppers spend the next month in a frenzy to find them.

Ty, Inc. With dozens of figures to collect and built-in scarcity caused by “retiring” popular models, these stuffed toys became a collecting fad for adults as well as children.

Besides, they were cute.

Hasbro Based on a Japanese video game, Pokémon spawned toys in the form of stuffed animals and trading cards, as well as a movie franchise.

“It was one of the first video-game toys to emerge,” Silver said.

Spin Master Based on Japanese anime, Bakugan was a hit in Canada before arriving in the U.S. These spherical Transformer-like figures combined marble shooting with role-playing games and card collecting.

Cepia These erratically moving robotic hamsters came in five personalities. Parents liked that kids could have a pet — without the cleanup.

through stores, finding an opening in what’s known as the smalldoll aisle, where My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop had reigned for years. “All of those brands have been there for a long time, and there’s not a lot of innovation,” he said.

In the eight years since he founded Blip Toys, Nichols has had enough success with novelty items that he can get meetings with Target, Toys R Us and Walmart. From Walmart, he heard that vending-machine concepts were popular in its Japanese division, Seiyu.

Nichols researched the size of

the industry. Vending machines sold billions of dollars of goods a year. That sparked the idea for the toys, squishy rubber characters about the size of a knuckle that come in plastic bubbles.

Though he was aiming for an affordable toy, he also wanted to make them collectible, like last year’s hit toy, the plush hamsters called Zhu Zhu Pets. Blip created hundreds of characters, and each package of Squinkies includes at least four characters. “With one purchase the child will become an instant collector,” he said.

Nichols presented his ideas to the three major toy retailers last

December. Rather than having a toy sculptor create samples, he had a factory in China produce and spray-paint the dolls, to prove that this could be done at a low price. Asked if Walmart executives thought it could be done well at the small scale, “We didn’t,” said Phillips, the Walmart executive in charge of toys. “But he really worked hard on the execution.”

He knew the retailers would test it in August. To pique interest before Squinkies were even on sale anywhere, he reached out to more than 300 bloggers, sending them products for review and giveaways.

Anne McGowan, who runs the blog DealWiseMommy.net, said her son and her nieces understood what the toy was right away. She was relieved at the low price. “That’s one of the best things about the toy: They’re not very expensive,” McGowan said.

In Waterloo, Ontario, Erica Kloetstra, who runs BassGiraffe com, said the collectible angle pulled in her 4-year-old daughter.

“She’s like ‘Now we have to get this, and this, and that.’ That’s why we have so many,” she said.

While tiny toys can be choking hazards, the retailers and Blip emphasize that the toys are for

children ages 4 and older. And bloggers noted the same. “Due to the small size, my son (who is 2) has placed them in his mouth,” Amanda Blake, who runs Fairy GoodMommy.com, wrote, saying that her older daughter now plays with them in her own room.

“Mommy bloggers are incredibly powerful,” said Phillips of Walmart, in part because they explain to their readers what a toy does or what age it’s appropriate for. “Just getting customers aware of what they are, how do they work, what do I do with them” is quite helpful, Phillips said.

Buy.com says it’s your problem and deal with the manufacturer.

Its website also lacks a phone number, Consumer Reports says.

• Best Buy: Offers a 14-day grace period to return computers, monitors, camcorders and digital cameras.

• Spirit Airlines: The carrier, which pioneered “ancillary” fees among domestic airlines, charges for carry-on bags: $30 in advance, $45 at the gate.

• Dollar car rental: Dollar demands that customers present a receipt to prove that they filled up the tank within 10 miles of the drop-off location or face a fee to top off the tank and the labor required to do so.

• SanDisk: It’s a big fan of issuing rebates in the form of a gift card, which have no cash value and must be redeemed for

merchandise.

• United Airlines: United offers customers a low-price guarantee. Find a lower fare on the company’s website for the same itinerary you booked, and not only will United give you the lower fare, but also a voucher good for 20 percent off your next purchase. Unless you have a nonrefundable ticket — the type most people buy — and find a cheaper flight, United imposes a $150 “administrative” fee to make the change.

• DirecTV: The California-based satellite TV firm, which has more than 18.7 million subscribers, has a policy that extends a customer’s contract for another 24 months if new equipment is added. If you want to cancel your service, the penalty is an early termination fee.

Who’s good?

their plans’ monthly allotment of minutes, which could lead to significant overage charges, U.S. Cellular is giving its customers a heads-up.

• Orvis: Shoppers can call a toll-free number and speak to a human being. It also offers live Web chat with support staff, email queries and a guaranteed response time of two hours or less.

• Hotels.com: The travel website never charges a fee to cancel or change a room booking. But consumers should still check the hotel’s reservation policy to avoid any penalty imposed by the chain.

• J&R: The electronics superstore and e-retailer has a pricematch policy with few caveats and fine-print exclusions: Find it at a lower price at an authorized seller (the exception being

a warehouse membership club) and “we will do everything possible to meet or beat that price” via a special telephone hot line.

J&R also gives customers 30 days to ask for a price adjustment on existing orders if they find a lower price.

• Walmart: No receipt, no problem. Customers can return most items to a Walmart store for a cash refund (for purchases under $25), a gift card (for purchases over $25) or even exchange.

There’s one catch: More than three such returns within 45 days requires a manager’s approval.

• Publix: If you need an antibiotic, the Florida-based supermarket chain will have its pharmacies dispense up to a 14-day supply for some of the most common generic ones, for free. All you need is a proper prescription.

And here are the 10 who landed on the nice list: • Southwest: Two pieces of checked luggage, no charge. And that includes bulky stuff such as golf clubs and skis.

• L.L. Bean: 100 percent product satisfaction guarantee. Return anything at any time for any reason.

• Zappos.com: Free shipping and free returns, including prepaid return label.

• Costco: Open-ended return policy for virtually everything the warehouse retailer sells minus some home electronics, which still come with a 90-day return period.

• U.S. Cellular: While the FCC proposes that cell carriers alert consumers about to exceed

Veterans Continued from G1 They believe even harrowing experiences, if managed and overcome, can lend perspective and fearlessness in commerce and provoke that “healthy discontent with the status quo” that galvanizes entrepreneurs.

“The Marine Corps instilled a lot of things I’ve applied to the business world,” said Mark Llano, who fought in Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf and who, in 2003, founded Source One Distributors, a company based in Wellington, Fla., that simplifies the procurement of tactical equipment by government and law enforcement agencies. “When I saw an opportunity for this business, I hustled every day, working 80 hours a week.

Because of my experience in the Marines, the hard work didn’t scare me.”

Like Llano, many veterans who become entrepreneurs cultivate as clients government agencies that give preference to businesses owned by veterans, especially if they are disabled.

Dairy Continued from G1 Many of the 200 dairy farmers who delivered cream to the Eberhard plant, plus more than 100 other dairymen in the region, also delivered milk or cream to processing plants in the other towns, Eberhard said.

Employment at Eberhard’s peaked at 51 three years ago but is holding steady today at 49, Eberhard said.

At one time, five or six Eberhard family members worked at the Redmond plant.

Agrarian loss “All through the ’50s and ’60s, Central Oregon was still mainly an agrarian economy and lifestyle,” Eberhard said.

“When my parents, Jack and Nelda Eberhard, founded the dairy in 1951, it was strictly a cream-separation plant. In 1953, we started making butter. In 1955, we started making powdered milk. In 1965, we started making cottage cheese. In 1967, we started processing milk and making ice cream,” Eberhard said.

“To survive, we had to keep adding the products consumers wanted,” Eberhard said, adding that his family also wound up buying out several other dairies in the area and incorporating their operations into the Eberhard line.

He said industrialization of the dairy industry began in the 1970s and by the 1990s the small dairy farms had mostly gone out of business and milk production from small dairies was replaced by regional dairies that milk thousands of cows. Hometown milk-processing plants disappeared after home milk deliveries ceased in the 1980s.

Despite the decline in number of dairy farms and hometown processing plants, the Oregon Department of Agriculture reports that in 2009 total dairy production held its No. 3 position in the state’s agriculture industry, with around $400 million in annual sales, just slightly behind cattle at $410 million, but less than half the $1 billion in nursery and greenhouse plant sales. Milk

“If you have served in the military and you understand the government, you have knowledge other people don’t,” Llano said. “If you can apply that niche to business, it’s a home run.”

Veterans have other advantages as well.

“If two people walk in the door with the same idea for a lemonade stand, the veteran will get more assistance than the civilian,” said James Mingey, a Vietnam veteran and entrepreneur who is president and chief executive of the Veterans Corp., a nonprofit that fosters business opportunities for veterans.

Mingey and others in the field said they did not know of anyone keeping definitive statistics on rates of entrepreneurship for veterans, but that they believed the percentage remained small.

Those veterans who do start businesses can benefit from many nonprofits and mentoring organizations and vast networks of veterans willing to help, but they also face challenges that veterans of earlier wars did not.

“World War II veterans were a large part of the work force,” said Kevin McDermott, who in 2007

sales have been in that range for about the last decade.

Statewide, the number of milk cows in Oregon peaked at 248,000 in 1940 and remained higher than 200,000 until 1955, when the number dipped to 198,000. By 1965, the number of milk cows was down to 127,000 and the number has bounced around between 89,000 and 120,000 ever since, according to Oregon Agripedia, an ODA report.

From 1950 to 1999, average annual milk production per cow in Oregon soared from 5,940 pounds per year to 18,700. Since 1990, milk production has ranged from about 18,000 pounds to a high of 19,417 pounds, according to the ODA report.

Nowadays, commercial dairy farms range from 250 to 4,000 cows, and most milk processing in Oregon is done at high-volume processing plants located in Western Oregon, Eberhard said.

When asked why his family’s dairy processing business survived when so many others didn’t, Eberhard credited hard work, expanding the product line, timely buyouts of other dairy processors and, most recently, rejecting milk containing growth hormones.

“We found that our customers were really interested in buying milk that did not have the growth hormone,” Eberhard said. “We wanted to produce the product our customers were interested in buying.

“We decided about four years ago we would not accept milk with growth hormones,” Eberhard said. “When we did that, the quality of our milk went up.

What we found is, the dairymen who signed the affidavit that they would not use the growth hormone produced higher quality milk.

“They also agreed to practice sustainable farming, which involves being more careful with feed and pesticides and everything they do,” Eberhard said.

“They are paid a bonus for following sustainable practices.”

Justin Bajema started a property leasing business after serving in Iraq, in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Many veterans who become entrepreneurs credit the military with giving them the courage, discipline and determination to start businesses.

helped found Patriot Taxiway Industries, an airfield and aircraft lighting provider based in Lomira, Wis., with a fellow Air Force veteran. “The 1950s workplace they created was a reflection of military culture.” Recent veterans, however, struggle to reconcile the disparate cultures of the military, which is regimented and hierarchical, and the entrepreneurial realm, which values

critical thinking and innovation.

“In the military you’re told what you’re going to do from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” McDermott said. “Veterans need to adjust.

We give goals or objectives and they need to learn to set their own schedules.”

While military training provides relevant lessons in loyalty and leadership, moving to the private sector can be agonizing.

than 300 to a handful. Just two hormone-free dairies are left producing milk for Eberhard’s, including Steve Putnam’s dairy between Bend and Redmond, and a dairy operated by Doug Burke in Terrebonne.

With so few dairies left in Central Oregon, Eberhard said he has to purchase some hormone-free milk through the Milk Marketing Co-op, based in McMinnville.

Three other dairies operating in Central Oregon all attribute their survival to value-added processing, which means they invest more labor and money to take a raw product to a higher level so they can sell it for a higher price to niche markets, such as the green-, health- and qualityconscious consumers.

Jos and Deanna Poland are producing organic milk in the Madras area, and two artisan cheese dairies also have set up shop in Central Oregon, including Tumalo Farms of Bend, which makes cheese from goat’s milk and organic cow’s milk, and the Sullivan Family dairy, which makes cheese from raw milk produced by their small herd of 60 Jersey cows.

“We made cheese in New Mexico for four or five years. We sold that dairy and came up here and started making cheese in May,” said Cher Sullivan.

Currently the family’s cellar is stocked with 8,000 pounds of curing cheese, which the Sullivans market under the name Cada Dia Cheese, which means everyday cheese in Spanish, Sullivan said.

She’s confident that, given a choice, consumers would rather eat cheese from a holistic farm where gentle Jersey cows roam green pastures eating grass, than cheese made from milk produced at a factory farm where cows are kept in stalls 24/7, fed hay and grain, and are given growth hormones to boost their milk output.

Black and white Holstein cows

that produce the most milk per pound of feed have displaced brown Jersey cows at most large dairies, but Sullivan said raising Jersey cows is like taking a step back in time.

DeCastilhos said the profit margins are so narrow and the prices are so volatile that it’s almost impossible for dairymen to make much of a profit selling milk wholesale.

“Just running a dairy (farm) is a difficult proposition to pencil it out,” DeCastilhos said. “We are an artisan cheese producer.

We are creating a value-added product that is in demand. That’s what makes it possible for us to survive as a small dairy.”

DeCastilhos said he markets his cheese through distributors to upscale restaurants and grocery stores throughout the Northwest and parts of California.

Tumalo Farms also sells a fair portion of its cheese online through its website, DeCastilhos said.

The success of Tumalo Farms cheeses also has opened up another market for organic milk produced by the Polands at their dairy near Madras.

“Our new Rimrocker cheese has a majority of cow’s milk with a small amount of goat’s milk,” DeCastilhos said, adding that he buys organic cow’s milk used in his cheeses from Poland Dairy.

“One of the main reasons we want to be organic is because we want to see the cows out in the pasture,” said Jos Poland. “They

enjoy it, and it’s healthier.”

To qualify as an organic dairy, feed must be grown on land that is free of pesticides and petrochemicals for at least three years.

Cows must be on pasture at least four months a year and cannot be injected with hormones or antibiotics, Poland said.

Producing organic milk can cost up to 50 percent more, but it has a higher level of butterfat, which partially offsets the higher cost of production, he said.

The couple’s largest customer is Horizon Organic, which is one of the region’s largest wholesale suppliers of organic milk sold in most grocery stores.

Poland grew up in Holland and operated dairies in Canada and the Eugene area before he met Deanna and bought their 270acre dairy farm near Madras in 2005.

“The main reason we chose Madras was for the drier climate.

The cows are much healthier, as the drier air means less bacterial growth for the cows to deal with,” he said.

“Our goal is to keep producing the best milk possible,” Poland said.

“Because we want our cheese to be healthful, we let our cows graze on green grass,” Sullivan said.

The combination of Jersey cows and green grass produces a richer-tasting cheese with butterfat high in omega 3, vitamin E and other nutrients, she said.

“That is what gives us the confidence people will want to buy our natural cheese,” Sullivan said.

To minimize the stress on the cows, Sullivan said they are conditioned to milk once a day instead of the two or three times typical at factory dairies.

When making cheese from raw milk, Sullivan said they start while the milk is still warm, within 10 minutes after milking.

To minimize stress on the cows and the cheese makers, the Sullivans take a break from milking and cheese making from the onset of winter, when the cows are pregnant, until April, when young calves are jumping and running around.

“We are just a family of four making cheese. It’s a good bit of work, so we need a rest, and the cows need a rest during the winter,” Sullivan said.

So far, she said response to the taste and nutritional benefits of their Cada Dia cheese is a hit at Central Oregon restaurants and grocery stores, such as Whole Foods and Newport Avenue Market in Bend.

Flavio DeCastilhos, who makes artisan cheese sold under the Tumalo Farms brand from goat’s milk and organic cow’s milk, said coming up with a good value-added product, and marketing it well, may be the keys to a revival of small, family-owned dairies.

tact than is normally afforded military personnel. Bajema said a substandard employee once cried during a performance review, and later quit.

“It was an eye-opener for me,” he said. “In the military there’s no sensitivity. I’ve toned it down and tried to improve myself by asking people I respect how to deliver feedback.”

Some veterans continue to suffer psychological torment long after physical injuries have healed. Of an employee with post-traumatic stress disorder, McDermott said, “Some days he’s our greatest employee, and other days we have to give him a ride home.”

“We’ve had over one million people rotate through Iraq — a million people who’ve seen their buddies killed and have taken lives,” Bajema said. “We were a heavy combat unit. Three-quarters of my platoon got purple hearts. Those are deep scars. Even if you’re not wounded by shrapnel, you’re wounded on the inside.”

Still, Bajema maintains that veterans are disproportionately suited to the sweat and toil of entrepreneurship.

“When you get out of the military, it’s like being hit in the face by a brick wall,” Bajema said.

“You don’t even know where to start.”

Veterans often lack business education and the ability to translate their skills into desirable qualifications for an employer or client.

“A veteran thinks if he cleaned guns in the military, he’ll probably have to do that when he gets out,” said John Raftery, who was a member of the First Marine Division during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and who founded Patriot Contractors, based in Red Oak, Texas. “But if you can identify the skills you learned — like keeping an inventory — you can apply that to something like a retail career.”

To facilitate the shift, Raftery and Bajema attended the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities, a program at Syracuse University that teaches skills like defining a value proposition and taking a product to market.

Communication can be a hurdle. Most civilian employees expect greater diplomacy and

Top-of-the-line crossover tries too hard ... and fails

A:

Q:

GMC via The Washington Post

The 2011 GMC Acadia Denali crossover utility vehicle tries to be too many things to too many people, aiming for rugged, off-road mastery while providing all the amenities of a luxury home.

gasoline — a 3.5-liter V-6 (248 horsepower, 250 foot-pounds of torque) for the Odyssey Touring Elite, a 3.6-liter V-6 (288 horsepower, 270 foot-pounds of torque) for the Acadia Denali.

My experience is that those relatively minor differences in horsepower and torque mean little when it comes to actual onroad performance. You can go to the hospital or to traffic court in the Odyssey Touring Elite just as quickly as you can in the Acadia Denali. An urban traffic jam in one is just as frustrating as it is in the other.

Also, there’s this: You are as unlikely to take the puffed-up all-wheel-drive Acadia Denali off the road as you are unlikely to take the equally puffed, but front-wheel-drive, Odyssey Touring Elite on an off-road romp.

What matters is weight. In comparison with the Acadia Denali, the Odyssey Touring Elite has 297 pounds less of that (4,560 pounds for the Honda product, compared with 4,857 pounds for the Acadia Denali).

The Odyssey Touring Elite’s relative lightness of being translates to better handling and better fuel economy (19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 on the highway).

That is what bugged me about the Acadia Denali. Although it is an excellently crafted people hauler — comfortable, luxurious, safe — it is a heavy runner. You feel its weight in tight city traffic. You account for its weight at the gas pump. And you pay for its extra weight at point of sale — a base $45,220 for the Acadia Denali, compared with a base $43,250 for the Odyssey

Base price: $45,220 As tested: $49,630 Type: Full-size, front-engine, unitized-body-construction crossover utility vehicle. Available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. It is offered in four trim levels: SL, SLE, SLT and the top-of-the-line Denali.

Engine: The Denali uses the GMC Acadia line’s standard 3.6-liter, 24valve, direct-injection gasoline engine (288 horsepower, 270 foot-pounds of torque). It is linked to a six-speed transmission that can be shifted automatically or manually.

Mileage: Real-world highway mileage, running with three adult passengers and an estimated 400 pounds of their luggage, was 22 miles per gallon. It averaged 15 miles per gallon in the city.

Touring Elite.

In fairness, much of the Acadia Denali’s weight also comes from General Motors’ affection for stuffing sound-deadening materials in its premium vehicles. The Acadia Denali’s interior is so quiet, it’s eerie. Behind its wheel, I don’t know whether to kneel and pray, or drive.

2011 GMC Acadia Denali

My 2002 Saturn L200 with 69,000 miles developed a loud rattling noise only at idle. When I accelerated slightly, the rattling would stop. It sounded like it was coming from the exhaust system. I suspected a piece of ceramic had broken off the catalytic converter. After several weeks, the noise went away.

Two weeks ago, the engine began to race going up inclines and seemed to lack power. The shop just phoned to say that the transmission failed because it overheated due to heat transfer from the overheated catalytic converter. Should I be looking for the root cause of the catalytic failure?

First off, remember that the federally mandated emissions warranty specifically covers the catalytic con-

verter for eight years or 80,000 miles. Depending on the original date of service, your car might still be covered by this warranty.

Most catalytic converters fail because of excessively rich fuel-air mixtures causing the catalyst/ oxidizing process to generate extremely high temperatures in the converter.

If the catalytic converter overheated from exhaust restriction, you’d have noticed a loss of power while driving, but not necessarily some type of slippage. It’s possible the higher rpm occurred as the transmission downshifted due to the lack of engine power.

Second, since you could hear the rattle at idle, I suspect it was coming from a heat shield protecting the converter or exhaust system rather than the converter itself. Did your mechanic check that all heat shields are still in place?

Did the converter failure lead to the transmission failure?

That’s harder to say. I would have thought that you would have noticed symptoms of power loss long before any transmission damage would have occurred.

Let us say, for example, that the Acadia Denali crossover and the 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite minivan are premium members of the PHC (PeopleHauling Class). The Odyssey Touring Elite has front-wheel drive. The subject Acadia Denali offers all-wheel drive as an option.

Both comfortably accommodate eight people. Both, with proper winter tires, can get you through snowstorms. Both offer every electronic amenity and connectivity portal demanded by today’s consumer. Both have V-6 engines that use regular

(Minneapolis) Star Tribune

I am a stickler for following owner’s manuals and scheduled maintenance. My 1998 Sable recommends 5W-30 oil. I just inherited a beautiful 1996 Park Avenue, and it calls for 10W-30. Should I stick with the recommendations, or can I use 5W-30 in both cars?

5W-30 is approved for the Buick if ambient temperatures are below 60 degrees; 10W-30 is recommended for ambient temperatures above zero degrees. Depending on where you live, 10W-30 for summer and 5W-30 for winter might be the right answer.

Q:

By Warren Brown CORNWALL, N.Y. — Such mixed feelings: Driving a vehicle that has more of everything while being keenly aware that you and the vehicle in question would be betR E V I E W ter off with substantially less.

It is the Denali Effect, evident in the 2011 GMC Acadia Denali crossover utility mobile, which also masquerades as a sport-utility vehicle.

It suffers from what politicians might call “overreach.” And indeed, who would know better than those masters of the art of being all things to all people, decrying federal debt with one voice while passionately arguing against budget cuts and higher taxes with another?

The Acadia Denali with allwheel drive, sampled for this column, attempts something similar. It boasts “premium luxury” while declaring itself a master of the rough-andtumble universe, ready for “any challenge you can send its way,” according to its marketers.

The implication is that the Acadia Denali, the top of the four-member Acadia crossover line, can dance the light fantastic along rugged off-road trails while providing all the amenities of a luxury home. On top of that, it promises to be a best friend of the environment and your pocketbook, delivering a “class leading” 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.

But “class” in the automobile industry, as it is in society in general, is very much a matter of perception.

give birth to a baby elephant than raise a teenager again. It would be less painful,” says Renee Cassis Hoering of New York City. “I cannot believe that my darling, sweet little girl has turned into a 16-year-old stranger who just wants money from me all the time.”

After seeing his son through the teen years, Bob Mittelsdorf is in favor of the Mark Twain approach to child-rearing: “When a child turns 12, he should be kept in a barrel and fed through the bung hole, until he reaches 16…at which time you plug the bung hole.”

The intensity. The sullenness.

The drama. And it isn’t only the rebellious kids who suddenly turn on us. When my friend’s son—a straight-A student and all-around sweetheart—recently ended up in the hospital getting his stomach pumped because he went out drinking with friends for the first time and had no clue how much was too much, that’s when I realized: There is just no predicting.

Even for the most responsible kids, there is always that combustible combination of youth, opportunity, and one bad night.

As recently as 15 years ago, parents (and even scientists) threw up their hands and cried, “Hormones!” when asked why our children become so nutty around the time of adolescence. Certainly an unholy passion for Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez doesn’t help, but it’s hardly the whole story. For that you have to turn to science.

In the past few years, research has shown that the brain of a teen really is different. Two technologies— PET scans (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)—have

COVER AND INSIDE PHOTOS BY BEN BAKER FOR PARADE (TEENS; MODELS POSED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY) AND PAUL ECKMAN (FACE CLOSEUP)

enabled us to study how the brain changes over time. What researchers have shown is that the teenage brain is still very much a work in progress and functions quite differently from an adult’s. True, there are areas (particularly those dealing with motor control and hand/eye coordination) that are as wellhoned as they will ever be. (That is one reason why your teen can already whip you at computer games.) But there are other areas— not surprisingly, the ones responsible for things like planning ahead and weighing priorities—that continue to develop well into our 20s.

Which is something to remember the next time you find your daughter posting Girls Gone Wild–ish videos of herself on YouTube and failing to realize that this footage will be available to the people who may be interviewing her not that many years from now at some white-shoe law firm.

Truth is, the teenage brain is like a Ferrari: It’s sleek, shiny, sexy, and fast, and it corners really well. But it also has really crappy brakes. Here’s what’s going on under the hood.

years at the NIH has shown that there’s another huge surge right before adolescence, followed by a process of “pruning” those connections in a kind of use-it-or-lose-it strategy. In other words, says Jess Shatkin, assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry and pediatrics at the NYU Child Study Center and host of the Sirius/XM Radio show About Our Kids, “If you’re a chess player or an athlete, the areas of the brain responsible for those skills will continue to develop—while other skills will fade away.”

The skills you practice as a child and pre-teen become much sharper in the teenage years; and those practiced reluctantly, if at all, will diminish on your brain’s hard-disk drive. “The brain is very efficient, allowing you to become more adept at the life skills you’re going to use—which is why these are the years to set good work habits in place,” notes Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute and author of Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs. Adds Shatkin, “This synaptic pruning in a sense makes you become the person you’ll ultimately be.”

have an operating system loaded and primed for growth. In a baby, each neuron (a cell that transmits electric signals) has around 2500 synapses; that increases over the next three years or so to around 15,000. These synapses are the wiring that allows our brains to send and receive information. Until recently, scientists thought this huge surge in brain wiring happened only once, when kids are young. Wrong. A study of 145 kids and adolescents scanned every two

2 a.m. Steven Weinreb, a physician in Hartford, Conn., answered, his heart pounding. It was two years ago, and his 18-year-old son, Jeff, was coming back from one of his band’s concerts. What was wrong?

Car accident? Drug overdose?

gether enough to book dates for his own band; he had a GPS in his car; he had maps; he could ask at a gas station,” Weinreb says. “Instead, he called me at two in the morning and practically gave me a heart attack. Oh, did I mention he got into Brown?”

Weinreb’s son is Ivy League, but his prefrontal cortex probably isn’t—yet. The frontal lobes, and particularly the prefrontal cortex, are one of the last areas of the brain to develop. Researchers now believe that the prefrontal cortex—responsible for things like organizing plans and ideas, forming strategies, and controlling impulses—is not fully developed until the late 20s.

Dopamine levels are also not yet at optimal levels during adolescence. Dopamine is the chemical messenger that allows us to do

puberty and continuing into the early 20s, adolescents need from 8.4 to 9.2 hours of sleep on average a night, compared with 7.5 to 8 hours for adults. Perhaps even more critical—and obvious to anyone who has had to drag a once-perky kid out of bed by the heels at 7 a.m.—the circadian rhythms of teenagers shift.

In a pair of related studies published in 1993 and 1997 by Mary Carskadon, a professor of psychiatry at Brown University and director of the Sleep Research program at Bradley Hospital in Rhode Island, Carskadon and colleagues found that more physically mature girls preferred activities later in the day than did less-mature girls and that the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin rises later in teenagers than in children and adults. Translation: Teenagers are physically programmed to stay up later and sleep later.

It’s no surprise, then, that previous research has shown that up to 20% of high-schoolers fall asleep during the first two hours of school.

According to a study done by Kyla Wahlstrom at the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota, later start times for high school students would be beneficial. Wahlstrom collected data continued

BY ORDER OF THE You have four options under the U.S. DISTRICT COURT

rately interpret facial expressions and the inflection in your voice.

University of Utah professor Deborah Yurgelun-Todd and a team of collaborators have been studying brain development. In an initial study at the McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., they wanted to see how teenagers registered emotions compared with adults.

They hooked up 18 children between the ages of 10 and 18 to an fMRI machine and showed them photos of people in different emotional states. When presented with a photo of a woman and asked what emotion she was registering, 100% of the adults said “fear,” which was correct. Only 50% of the teenagers correctly identified that emotion.

Moreover, the teens and adults used different areas of the brain to process what they were feeling. Teens rely much more on the amygdala, a small almond-shaped region in the medial and temporal lobes that processes memory and emotions, while adults rely more on the frontal cortex, which governs reason and forethought.

This may explain the impulsiveness of

some teens that has made headlines this year—like the tragic incident in September in which, allegedly, a Rutgers University student posted a video of his roommate kissing another boy, resulting in the roommate’s suicide. Were the students who posted the video incapable of considering the ramifications of their act? And what about the boy? One can’t help thinking that, with teenage lack of perspective, he imagined his family shamed and his life ruined—but could not imagine the agony his death would cause his parents.

So it is, too, with tragedies like Columbine. “There have always been adolescents who feel enraged, who want to get even, who feel ostracized. The adolescent brain is less able to control those stresses,” says Daniel Weinberger of the National Institute of Mental Health. “The difference is that while 50 years ago there might have been punches thrown, now there are automatic weapons. You put one of those in the hands of an immature prefrontal cortex, and it is more likely to go off.”

4 Stay-Sane Strategies You will survive. We promise. These tips can help.

Remind a distraught child that things will get better. Often during a rough spell, a teenager sees only his or her little world and can’t imagine a tough situation changing. “This is where you have to try and modulate the impulsiveness,” Shatkin says. “Give empathy but constantly reinforce adult perspective.”

Ask your teen to come up with his own solution. “If your child is chronically ‘losing’ homework, for example, ask what ideas he has for making this better,” Galinsky advises. “Be open to trying different ideas. This feeds into the teen’s desire for autonomy without getting into a blame game.”

Educate your child about sleep. Tell your kid you’re not trying to enforce a curfew just to be annoying. As little as 40 minutes less sleep a night can cause difficulties in school, including falling asleep in classes.

Don’t excuse bad behavior. Understanding the complexities teenagers face isn’t the same as saying, “It’s fine if my kid is feral.” It’s not. “We aren’t saying teenagers can’t be responsible, can’t think ahead,” Weinberger says. “It’s just that their level of brain development makes it more difficult.”

husband shipped out to Iraq in August 2008, Marissa Stewart knew nothing could replace Daddy for her three young children. Still, she was afraid they would start to forget about their father. How could she fill the void he left behind?

Today, she points to a lifelike, life-size photo of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jared Stewart perched on a chair in her Seattle living room.

“That bit of foam board has brought a lot of peace to our family,” she says.

Wish You Were Here The Stewart family deploys a novel solution to stay close to Dad

EFORE JARED LEFT,

Marissa saw a story about Flat Daddies—a group that provides large images of deployed servicemen and -women for their families—and decided a Flat Jared might help Jeff, Joel, and Mira through the tough transition. She ordered one, and the boys, then 6 and 3, fell in love with the cutout.

They played games with it, dressed it in costumes, and propped it up at the dinner table. Marissa, 32, was surprised by the boys’ enthusiasm and wanted to share it with her husband. She started a blog called “A Year with Flat Daddy” and posted photos of Flat Jared, or “FJ,” in funny scenes around Spokane, Wash., where they lived until last summer. From 7000 miles away in Ramadi, Iraq, the real Jared could check the blog and see himself still at play with his kids back home.

“A Year with Flat Daddy” is now in its 27th month. Real Jared, 35, has been home for only one extended stay, while Flat Jared gets more wear and tear every day. He’s been trick-or-treating and even sledding in Spokane. He’s attended soccer games and the first day of school. He ran a 12K race on his 8 • November 28, 2010

brother Jordan’s back. He slides down slides, plays hide-and-seek, goes to the movies, and sits on Santa’s lap.

“It’s good he’s gotten so beat-up, because it means we’ve taken him lots of places,” says Jeff, now 8.

In fact, the Stewarts are rarely without their 2-D dad, so they tend to attract attention wherever they go. “People see us—three rambunctious kids, a foam-board soldier, and a stressed-out mom trying to keep it together—and feel compelled to say something,”

Marissa observes. “They’ll say, ‘God bless your family,’ or tell the children, ‘Your dad is so brave.’ ” FJ also inspires humor. Women will say he looks like the ideal husband—strong and silent—for which Marissa has a stock reply: “Yeah, but he doesn’t lift a finger

solace at critical times, Marissa has faced many of the family’s toughest challenges alone.

Jeff was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome two years ago and undergoes regular therapy. Mira was hospitalized with a severe rotavirus infection at 18 months. Marissa also had to take on part-time work as a transportation security officer to make ends meet.

“It’s hard raising three kids and going through the tough stuff alone,” she says. “But Jared’s job is to focus on his work, to protect himself and his troops. My job is to hold down the fort back home.”

The worst moment was when Marissa’s car was stolen with Flat Jared inside. Police found the vehicle in a field and FJ bent and broken in the mud. “The kids were devastated,” Marissa says. “We put a lot of symbolism and love into that foam board. They said, ‘Why would someone hurt our dad?’ ” A stranger read about the incident online and anonymously donated a new Flat Jared. Today, the replacement FJ smiles as he always has, sitting next to the kids at their favorite pizza place. Joel, now 5, says the best part of a Flat Daddy isn’t the silly pictures or games. “It’s that I can tell him ‘I miss you’ and ‘I love you’ anytime I want…I can hug him, too.”

around the house.”

Many reactions are solemn. “We were at Chuck E. Cheese’s one time, and Mira wouldn’t sit still for a photo with her dad,” Marissa says.

“Two teenage girls tried to help by distracting her. I saw their parents watching us. The father smiled at me but got choked up and had to look away. Finally, the mother came over and just said thank you.”

“There’s definitely a flip side to all this,” she says. “Here’s a big picture of someone who might not come back again, a daily reminder of everything we could lose. Jeff is aware of the elephant in the room. He knows there’s a chance his dad won’t come home.” Marissa pauses, holding back tears. “But no matter what happens, I’d rather have Flat Daddy photos and memories than have my kids slowly forgetting about their dad.”

Mira finishes a chocolate sundae and gives her foamboard father a kiss on the nose.

“Oh, be careful!” Marissa says, grabbing a napkin. “We don’t want to get chocolate on Daddy.”

“It’s okay, Mommy,” the 3-year-old replies, smiling wide. “He likes chocolate.”

“I can’t tell you how much this photo means to them,” Marissa says. “Jared has missed all three of Mira’s birthdays, but her first word was still ‘Daddy.’ ”

America’s new choice for a life without pain.

Lou Paradise is a highly motivated man. As President and Chief of Research of Topical BioMedics, Inc., the developer of Topricin® Pain Relief and Healing Cream, he is on a mission to help as many people as possible live life without the discomfort of pain and the danger of harmful side effects. “With its innova-

Topricin’s innovative healing technology addresses the source of the problem, stimulating the body’s natural desire to heal the damage that is causing the pain. The patented, FDA-regulated formula brings together 11 homeopathic medicines that work synergistically to relieve the pain associated with a wide range of ailments and injuries, including: arthritis, lower back, neck, and shoulder pain, CTS, bursitis, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, bruising, and muscle spasms. It is so effective it may even help reduce the amount of pain medication you are taking.

Doctor-recommended Topricin is used in hospitals nationwide, and the renowned Dr. Andrew Weil wrote in Prevention magazine about its remarkable benefits, stating “Some of my patients swear by the benefits of a homeopathic cream called Topricin.”

“I was told by my doctors, back surgery is your only option, and then I found Topricin," recounts Marybeth Hanson to Woman's World magazine. “The sciatica pain in my back and neck is gone. After years of pain I am even bicycling with my daughters. I never would’ve believed something natural could make such a huge difference!”

Like Marybeth Hanson, Linda Rayborn was living in extreme pain due to a severe case of fibromyalgia. “I tried Topricin and I got the first full night's sleep I had had in years! I was literally in tears of joy!”

Lara Spencer, co-host of TV's “The Insider” and a former competitive diver, told Rachael Ray that she “bathes” in Topricin® before and after workouts, recommending it to Rachael for her wrist problems.

Odorless greaseless, and non-irritating, Topricin is the natural pain relief solution that is guaranteed to work.

No one should live in pain, or risk suffering from the serious side effects of oral pain medications.

tive, patented formula, Topricin provides safe, natural, and effective pain relief that is soothing and healing. It’s truly a 21st century pain management breakthrough-- there’s nothing else like it on the market today!”

So how does it work? According to Mr. Paradise, pain is the body telling us there is a problem, and healing is its way of fixing the problem. “Topricin’s natural medicines stimulate healing so our body can repair the damage in joints, nerves, and muscles that is causing the pain. The results: improved range of motion, function, and mobility so you can start experiencing the joy of living pain free.”

Buy (1) 4 oz. jars of Topricin and get 1 FREE for $24.95 plus $6.95 shipping & handling: Total product value $49.99 for only $31.90.

When I wear pajamas and a robe while watching TV on a cold night, I feel too cool. But if I take off the robe and drape it over me like a blanket, I feel warm. Why is this?

—Linda Jarrell, Gastonia, N.C.

For the same reason that mittens are warmer than gloves. When you isolate your fingers, they can’t benefit from one another’s warmth.

Isolating your arms in a robe has a similar effect. Sitting inside a big sack would be even warmer!

Our family got into a heated discussion over the question about the sealed envelope that contains a $100 bill. My sons and I think your answer is wrong. Will you please explain? We are going nuts.

Simple Pleasures

w

“Kidneys have wonderful flavor, and yet few Americans eat them,” Angelou says. “First remove the veins and fat and soak in salt water. Veins will take all the joy out of the meal.”

Award-winning author and poet Maya Angelou shares a crowd-pleasing platter of meats

j

Mixed London Grill “This is a great meal to serve to a large party of carnivores.

There is something within this mélange to satisfy every palate.”

Servings: 12 “Be careful with portions. You can always go back for more.”

cle

Many years ago, I was invited to be a visiting professor at Wichita State University. I taught there for four weeks while staying with family friends. I elected to cook some special dishes for them: a beef bourguignon one night, a beef Stroganoff a few days later, curried lamb with mango chutney the next. The adults enjoyed my creations, but my friend’s two daughters could barely choke them down.

When my then-husband, Paul, came to visit, he offered to cook as well. Now most of the time he found it challenging to boil an egg! But he had learned to make two things in London, and one was a London grill (the other was bubble and squeak). London grill is a very simple thing; just different meats cooked with onions. When it was served at my friend’s house, his daughters ate everything and then said to me, “Now we know who the real cook is in your family, Auntie Maya. It’s Uncle Paul!” My dishes were more labor-intensive, and you had to have some creativity and patience. But the girls were just over the moon about these grilled things.

18 • November 28, 2010

1 lamb or veal kidney, halved 2 tsp salt 1 bratwurst or other sausage, whole 2 lamb chops 2 thin slices pork loin

“By all means, take your time.

Have patience, not just with your food but with yourself.

And when you find that you’ve blown it and let something burn, forgive yourself.”

2 lbs. each sliced top sirloin, veal cutlet, and calves’ livers 1/4 tsp pepper 8 strips bacon 1/2 lb. onions, sliced 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1. Wash the kidney halves and remove all veins and fat.

2. Soak in water with 1/2 tsp salt for 1 hour; pat dry.

3. While the kidney is soaking, season the bratwurst, lamb chops, pork loin, sirloin, veal, and livers with pepper and remaining 1½ tsp salt.

4. Grill the pork loin in a grill pan on stove top until cooked through.

Set aside in a warming dish. Then grill the kidneys, bratwurst, lamb, beef, veal, and liver until medium done. Add to the warming dish.

5. In a large skillet, fry the bacon until crispy, turning frequently. Remove bacon and add to the warming dish.

6. Return skillet to stove and fry the onions in the oil.

7. Combine the meats and onions and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until all are warm and cooked through.

Serve on a warm platter with 1-inch-thick slices of grilled or toasted sourdough bread.

Sunday with...

Neil Diamond The hit-maker on why he Tweets, is not an Idol kind of guy, and shops at Costco for his mom

O

NLY A TRUE MUSICAL ICON CAN BE PARODIED

on Saturday Night Live by Will Ferrell and have an episode of American Idol devoted to his songs. Now Neil Diamond, recently nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has a new disc, Dreams, on which he covers modern standards from the ’60s and ’70s like “Yesterday” and “Desperado.” “Those songs left an indelible impression on me,” he says. “I always wished I’d written them.” Despite the accolades and decades of musical success, the 69-year-old Diamond remains a proudly solitary man, as David Browne learned during a conversation shortly after the midterm elections.

PARADE What did you make of

the election results?

It’s going to be a battle for the president. I don’t like that. I’d like him to be able to continue doing what he promised.

Some of your most inspiring songs—“Sweet Caroline” in 1969, “America” in 1980—were written during turbulent times in U.S. history. Are you tempted 20 • November 28, 2010

to write another now?

I’ve actually thought of that. We’re so inundated with bad news, and I would like to write a song that’s an optimistic, uplifting view of what America can and will be.

That would be a challenge. I don’t even know if I could do it.

Given your appearance on American Idol,

did you consider going for Simon Cowell’s job?

No, I’m not a weekly television kind of guy. I’d much rather devote my time to writing or performing. I wish them luck, but it’s not for me.

What’s your Sunday at-home ritual these days?

My mom [Rose, 92] joins me when I’m in Malibu. We eat lunch and have nice talks. I feel like I’m making up for lost time—I’ve been so busy for so much of my life. We have a lot of home movies my dad took, and we like to watch those and talk about the relatives.

What’s on the menu?

I always have her ffavorite meal waiting for

You’ve been posting on Twitter for a while (“Tweeting from 41,000 feet…just because I can!”). What do you like about it?

First of all, it’s instant gratification.

I get responses almost immediately from everywhere in the world.

And it’s somehow very compatible with the way I think as a songwriter. On Twitter there’s a limit to the number of characters you can use, and when you write a song you have to tell your story in a limited format, sometimes 100 or 150 words. It’s natural for me.

On your new album, you tackle Gilbert O’Sullivan’s “Alone Again (Naturally).” Did that song speak to you now that you’re single again?

No. I’ve always had a sense of being alone. But it struck me as a brilliant song. Gilbert was only 23 or so when he wrote it. It’s an amazing insight from someone so young.

What one personal item do you take on the road?

I had a baseball in my bag on a number of tours. It was a kind of security blanket. I could always dig in for that ball and feel the weight of it, how good it felt in my hands.

At this point in your career, what would people be surprised to know about you?

I don’t mind at all waiting on line at Starbucks. I like to be in contact with people.

Premium sound has never been easier.

The Bose® Wave® music system.

Selecting a sound system traditionally has required a difficult compromise. With conventional systems, if you make premium sound your priority, you have to deal with large speakers, stacks of equipment and plenty of wires to hook them up. Opt for small size and simplicity, and you sacrifice the sound.

Meet the Bose Wave® music system. It delivers all the pleasures of premium sound from a compact system without the traditional compromises or limitations. Rich Warren of the News-Gazette says it “will flat out seduce you.” And Forbes FYI reports that “you’ll think you’re listening to a…sound system that costs five times more.”

Easy to enjoy. The Wave® music system provides a room full of Bose quality sound from an all-in-one system that requires little space and is delightfully simple to use. There are no wires to hook up, no confusing buttons or dials to adjust. Just plug it in and hear the kind of sound that you may have only thought possible from a much larger system. In fact, David Novak, the Gadget Guy, says, “It can easily replace whatever component system you currently have.”

Easy to use. A credit card-style remote lets you operate everything – a convenience you’ll appreciate when playing CDs or MP3 CDs, tuning into FM/AM radio or setting the clock and alarm. You can connect an additional audio source, so enjoying lifelike sound from your TV or MP3 player couldn’t be simpler. You also can add an optional Multi-CD Changer to enjoy your favorite music for hours. And with its small and elegant design, the Wave® music system fits in just about anywhere: your living room, kitchen, bedroom, wherever you want better sound.

Easy to try. Use our 30-day, risk-free trial to experience the Wave® music system in your home. Listen to your favorite music, try it in different rooms, and hear what you’ve been missing.

Easy to order. Simply choose your favorite color: Platinum White, Graphite Gray or Titanium Silver. And when you call, ask about making 12 easy payments, with no interest charges from Bose.* Order by December 31, 2010, to receive the Connect Kit for iPod free – a $99 value. The kit makes it easy to play your iPod or iPhone through the system. It includes a remote that controls both the system and key iPod functions, and a dock that recharges your iPod. When your Wave® music system arrives, just take it out of the box, plug it in and listen to your favorite music. Then sit back and experience the kind of performance that has made Bose the most respected name in sound. Now what could be easier than that?
