Solution for faulty gas pedals
‘Whenever there’s a need’ Central Oregon soldiers are among those tasked with protecting the VIPs

Toyota Motor Corp. plans to start sending parts to dealers in the coming days to fix a sticky gas pedal problem that has tarnished its image and led to the recall of 4.2 million cars and trucks on three continents, dealers and federal officials said Saturday. Toyota plans to reveal details of the fix Monday morning. One dealer was told by a Toyota executive that the parts could arrive Thursday or Friday. • To see if your car might be affected, see Page A4.

‘Business as usual’ for area Toyota dealer Courtesy Anthony Treas

While fallout from Toyota’s vehicle recall spread to Washington, D.C., and Europe, it failed to register noticeably Friday afternoon at Bend’s only Toyota dealer. Cars filled the lot, and customers chatted with the sales staff and checked out a Scion, FJ Cruiser and other models on the showroom floor. “It’s business as usual,” said Robert Durfee, general manager of Toyota Scion of Bend. On Jan. 21, the automaker announced it would recall about 2.3 million vehicles to correct sticking accelerator pedals, according to its Web site. On Tuesday, it told dealers to temporarily stop sales of the eight models involved in the recall and predicted it would shut down five production lines in the U.S. and Canada. As of Saturday, 4.2 million vehicles had been recalled worldwide. Toyota investigated “isolated reports of sticking accelerator pedal mechanisms,” according to its news release, and reported certain accelerator pedals might stick in rare instances. See Toyota / A4

he mission isn’t what you’d expect for a soldier on a yearlong deployment in Iraq.
On any given day, Oregon Army National Guard 2nd Lt. Michael White, of Crooked River Ranch, oversees soldiers who take reservations, handle maintenance calls and prepare fullplated meals at the Joint Visitors Bureau, a five-star hotel near Baghdad. Once used by guests of Saddam Hussein, the hotel is now the place where high-ranking military officers, diplomats and politicians stay when they come to visit. Keeping the hotel running — and its high-profile guests safe — is up to White and the rest of his 21-member platoon, which includes
other Central Oregonians. “My day pretty much starts and ends whenever there’s a need,” White, 40, said in an interview over an Internet video chat program. “The staff at the hotel work pretty long hours; we’re open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we maintain shifts all the way through. So my guys, they’re pretty busy all the way through. They’re looking forward to coming home.”

For years, Altria, home to Philip Morris and its popular Marlboro cigarette brand, was a corporate pariah blamed for the deaths of millions of people and sued for hundreds of billions of dollars by attorneys general in every state. After eventually acknowledging, like others in its industry, that cigarette smoking was, indeed, addictive and caused disease, Altria went a step further. It broke from the Big Tobacco pack and began supporting legislation that

There’s also a revived push to put rules on pumping from so-called “exempt” domestic water wells. Normally, the group of 30 senators and 60 representatives meets in odd-numbered years. The February special session was originally envisioned as plugging budget holes in the aftermath of Tuesday’s election if two proposed tax increases, as many expected, had failed. Since the measures passed, bringing another $730 million to state coffers, lawmakers will be focused on policy, not budget cuts. Read on for a sampling of the issues of particular local interest that are likely to have momentum when the Legislature convenes Monday.
Business Energy Tax Credit • Known as BETC or “Betsy,” the state’s most controversial tax credit program — used to foster conservation and renewable energy projects — was under fire much of last year based on reports of waste and profiteering by large wind-energy companies. This month, would-be reformers will clash with defenders of the law over proposed curbs to the credit in a battle that some expect to dominate the session. The matter is of particular interest to Central Oregon, where several renewable energy companies have benefited from the law.

Did company executives, who were internally pursuing a strategy of “societal alignment,” suddenly embrace a true partnership on public health? Or was this a case, as its longtime foes and competitors have argued, of seeking to generate good PR? As the smoke clears, the answer may be becoming clearer. See Tobacco / A5

• Sen. Jackie Dingfelder, D-Portland, is trying a new approach to regulating destination resorts after last year’s failure to do so. Unlike the last go-round, spearheaded by Rep. Mary Nolan, D-Portland, Dingfelder is trying to bring builders, environmentalists and counties together around a less-restrictive measure, Senate Bill 1031, that would still include environmental safeguards.

Alan Bates, D-Ashland, is pushing Senate Bill 1060, which would clarify the public’s right to float on, wade in or walk on the banks of certain rivers such as the Deschutes, even when the land is privately owned. That right already exists based on court decisions and state “navigability” law, but is not universally recognized.
Water wells • Rep. Ben Cannon, D-Portland, is spearheading a bill that would let the state require permits on new “exempt” domestic water wells in designated areas where groundwater resources are limited. The legislation would also restrict the maximum amount of water that can be pumped from a new well. See Legislature / A6

New York Times News Service The Obama administration is accelerating the deployment of a series of new defenses against possible Iranian missile attacks in the Persian Gulf, placing special ships off the Iranian coast and anti-missile systems in at least four Arab countries, according to administration and military officials. The deployments come at a critical turning point in President Barack Obama’s dealings with Iran’s leadership, when he is warning that his diplomatic outreach will now be combined with the “consequences,” as he put it in the State of the Union address, of the country’s continued defi- Related ance on its nu• U.S. arms clear program. deal with The Senate, Taiwan puts meanwhile, has China on the approved unanoffensive, imously a resolution authorizPage A8 ing sanctions that include cutting off gasoline to Iran, a step Obama’s aides say he is reluctant to take. The military deployments are partly intended to address U.S. concerns about possible retaliation for whatever sanctions are imposed. The administration is also trying to demonstrate to Israel that there is no immediate need for military strikes against Iranian nuclear and missile facilities.
More pressure on Iran That the U.S. is deploying antimissile defenses — which included a rare public discussion by Gen. David Petraeus — appears to be part of a coordinated strategy to increase pressure on Iran. By highlighting the defensive nature of the buildup rather than offensive weaponry, the administration was trying to contain any Iranian threat without provoking a sharp response from Tehran. Because many countries in the Gulf are hesitant to be publicly identified as accepting U.S. military aid and the troops that come with it, Petraeus declined to say who was taking the U.S. equipment. But many are an open secret: Military officials said countries that have accepted the missiles were Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait. Petraeus also described a first line of defense: He said the U.S. was now keeping Aegis cruisers on patrol in the Gulf at all times. Those cruisers are equipped with both advanced radar and antimissile systems designed to intercept medium-range missiles. As described by administration officials, the moves have several motives. “Our first goal is to deter the Iranians,” said one senior administration official. “A second is to reassure the Arab states, so they don’t feel they have to go nuclear themselves. But there is certainly an element of calming the Israelis as well.”

Iran’s opposition calls for massive rally next week
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s campaign to overhaul the nation’s health care system is officially on the back burner as Democrats turn to the task of stimulating job growth, but behind the scenes, senior Democrats have settled on a strategy to save the massive legislation. They are meeting almost daily to plot legislative moves while gently persuading skittish rank-and-file lawmakers to back a sweeping bill. This effort is deliberately being undertaken quietly as Democrats work to focus attention on more popular initiatives to bring down unemployment, a tactic used by the president in his State of the Union address last week. Many have concluded that the only hope for resuscitating the health care legislation is to push the issue off the front page, and give lawmakers time to work out a new compromise and shift public perception of the bill. “A little bit of time and quiet could help,” said Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor, a conserva-
tive Democrat who was among a group of centrist Democrats from the House and Senate who met last week to discuss a way forward on health care.
Beyond Congress House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid particularly want to give members time to recover from the shock of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts. In coming weeks, however, they plan to rally House Democrats behind the bill passed by the Senate, while simultaneously trying to persuade Senate Democrats to approve a series of changes to the legislation using budget procedures that bar filibusters. At the same time, leading consumer groups, doctors and labor unions that have backed the legislative effort for more than a year are stepping up attempts to stiffen lawmakers’ resolve. Drew Altman, who heads the
nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, said Democrats may have little choice but to take this approach. “In a 24-hour news cycle, with the Internet and bloggers and cable news, sometimes a lot more can be accomplished … when it happens behind closed doors.”
Obstacles remain Democrats, who would almost certainly get no Republican votes for their bill, still must overcome substantial obstacles. Many rankand-file Democrats remain rattled by Brown’s campaign in Massachusetts, which in part targeted the health care bill in Washington. Recent national polls indicate that less than 40 percent of Americans like the health care legislation being pushed by Obama and his congressional allies. Some Democrats would prefer to vote on a series of more limited bills targeting pieces of the health care system, an approach that House leaders are exploring. A group of liberal House lawmakers is pushing for inclusion of a new government insurance plan, or public option, in the final bill. Tensions also remain high between Democrats in the House and Senate.

Some Democrats view the GOP stance as a policy and political miscalculation. White House officials and Democratic lawmakers described a strategy to put Republicans on the spot by scheduling regular votes on jobs, financial
regulation and other matters that fall in line with the Democrats’ populist message. Many congressional Republicans, riding high after their stunning victory in the Jan. 19 Massachusetts Senate race, think the Democrats’ strategy won’t work. They appear almost united in their willingness to oppose Democrats on numerous measures that arguably might appeal to the public, calling them irresponsible, unworkable or overly intrusive.
By Dan Balz Friday’s encounter between the president and House Republicans proved to be riveting political theater. The question is whether it will be remembered as a moment that began to ease the tensions between the two parties — or an asterisk in this era of polarized politics. Barack Obama and GOP representatives delivered 90 minutes of sharp but civil giveand-take, a spirited debate on both the substantive differences that divide Republicans and Democrats and a frank discussion about the breakdown of government in the age of the permanent campaign. Rarely has there been such an encounter between a president and the opposition party and certainly never on national television. But the political climate is unlikely to change overnight. “The main benefit is that greater interaction builds a measure of trust,” said John Fortier of the American Enterprise Institute. “Trust opens up possibilities for collaboration on some future issue with a more bipartisan character ... which might come in handy if there is a different future political dynamic, like narrower Democratic majorities.” In the short run, there was plenty of scorekeeping by partisans — and reason for both sides to feel good about what happened at the House GOP retreat in Baltimore. For Obama, who is trying to re-establish his standing after a difficult first year in office, it was the opportunity to rebut his opponents’ criticisms while prodding them to abandon their rigid opposition to his major initiatives. For House Republicans, it meant having the president acknowledge on national TV that they have ideas of their own. Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University, said the message Obama delivered was consistent with one of the broad themes of his presidential campaign and therefore likely to enhance his standing with the public. “If the polls are correct — and they are certainly consistent — that Americans want a cease-fire if not a full-fledged truce, the event boosted his stock as a peacemaker.”

Los Angeles Times Leaders of Iran’s opposition movement and the country’s hard-line establishment sharpened their confrontation Saturday, with opponents calling on demonstrators to take to the streets on a highly charged anniversary next week and the judiciary putting 16 alleged protesters on trial. Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi voiced deep sorrow over the “hasty” executions of two Iranians who were hanged Thursday in a move widely interpreted as an attempt at intimidation ahead of anticipated confrontations on the Feb. 11 anniversary of the 1979 founding of the Islamic Republic. Their calls for supporters to take to the streets showed fresh daring. Neither had explicitly called for protests on the Dec. 27 Shiite Muslim holiday of Ashura, the last round of street confrontations.
True effect of Obama-GOP meetup likely to take time The Washington Post
Obama takes populist tone in jobs agenda WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is shifting his administration’s emphasis to battling unemployment, the scourge that is hurting households nationwide and threatening to inflict heavy losses on Democrats in November’s elections. In the process, he and his allies in Congress intend to force Republicans, through a series of upcoming votes, to choose between Wall Street’s high fliers and Main Street’s middle-class workers. With Democrats struggling to deliver on big promises like overhauling health care, they hope their increasingly populist push — coupled with Republican resistance to two Democratic-crafted, deficit-reduction proposals — will prevent wavering voters from drifting to the GOP. In his State of the Union address, Obama declared, “Jobs must be our number one focus in 2010.” On Friday, he rolled out details of a $33 billion, oneyear tax incentive plan to encourage more hiring.

What do Haitians really need? Obstacles to choosing The Washington Post
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — How do you find out what the Haitian people really need now, nearly three weeks after the earthquake? You ask them. Three-person teams, each including at least one member who speaks Creole and French, are fanning out to 152 sites across the country this week, asking a long series of questions to “key informants.” When they are done, they hope to have a clearer picture of the food, shelter, water, sanitation and health sector needs of the Haitian population. That’s the intent of a weeklong project run by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the World Health Orga-
nization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Much as truth is the first casualty of war, reliable information is one of the early casualties of natural disasters. Until fairly recently, disaster responders relied on their senses, and their common sense, to identify problems. The notion of measuring what you could see was viewed as an academic and slightly effete response to things such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis. That view has changed. The “evidence-based” paradigm slowly remaking medicine has crept into disaster medicine, too. So has the drive to make this field, like much of the rest of medical care, more democratic and responsive to the consumer and less paternal-
istic and responsive to the expert. The survey didn’t ask questions of a random sample of Haitians as in a medical trial. That would have been a huge and time-consuming undertaking. Instead, it sought out individuals expected to know what was happening to the people in their area: mayors, village directors, health officials. There is also the matter of what to ask. Too little, and it’s worthless. Too much, and it tries the patience of interviewer and informant. “This is a not-so-rapid rapid assessment,” Carl Kincade, a CDC epidemiologist, said as he fluttered the 10-page questionnaire while waiting in the midmorning heat for interviewers at a dusty lot in a centrally located neighborhood.
U.N. to streamline food distribution The U.N. announced Saturday it will establish 16 distribution sites across Port-au-Prince staffed by relief workers and protected around the clock by U.S. and other foreign troops. Deliveries of large sacks of rice will begin today based on colored coupons designed to direct food to families and limit fraud, said a spokesman for the World Food Program, which aims to reach 10,000 people a day at each site. — From wire reports

U.S. troops welcome in Haiti, for now By Ben Fox The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Young men gripping a steel fence along Port-au-Prince’s waterfront call out “Hi, Sir!” to two U.S. Army soldiers, pleading for jobs as translators, drivers, laborers. None are getting any jobs today. But that doesn’t dampen their enthusiasm for the U.S. military, despite a checkered history in Haiti for the forces that are now providing a huge humanitarian mission after the Jan. 12 earthquake killed at least 150,000 people. “The Americans are our friends,” said Jean Rony Doudou, a 28-year-old jobseeker. “They are here to help us.” Many Haitians — at least for now — share that sentiment as they see U.S. troops bandaging the wounded, clearing debris, handing out food and water, and even directing traffic. The soldiers are generating good will and are given a large degree of credit for keeping Haiti relatively peaceful during these worst of circumstances. And for the soldiers, Haiti is a welcome respite from dodging suicide bombers, snipers and roadside explosives in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Here you don’t go in there with your war face,” said Sgt. Warren Bell, of Hampton, Va., a paratrooper who did three tours in Iraq before handing out meals in Haiti. “You go in there with your peace face. You try and treat people like you would in the United States.”

Emergency medical flights to U.S. on hold The U.S. military has temporarily halted medical evacuation flights for Haitians critically injured in this month’s earthquake, after Florida officials told the Obama administration that the state’s hospitals are becoming too crowded, officials said Saturday. The decision has alarmed doctors trying to treat the crush of wounded in the devastated country. A White House spokesman, Tommy Vietor, said officials are scrambling to find available medical facilities in other states so the military flights can resume. The military suspended the evacuation flights after Gov. Charlie Crist told the federal government in a letter Wednesday that Florida’s medical facilities were “quickly reaching saturation, especially in the area of high-level trauma care.” Florida hospitals had treated 526 earthquake victims as of Saturday, with 174 inpatients still in the facilities, state officials said. — The Washington Post ers. “They are not there to participate in any police operations,” said Jose Ruiz, a spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command. But as Haitian police and private security guards struggle to maintain control, the U.S. soldiers will have to decide how and whether to get involved. A dozen Army soldiers decided to take action Friday when they came upon a violent confrontation after a private security guard shot and killed a man who was among a group of organized looters inside an appliance store. The U.S. Army 82nd Airborne platoon, which happened to be on patrol nearby, rushed up and quickly dominated the scene, shouting “Stop it!” and pulling guards off the captives. The crowd outside cheered the Americans. But the incident underscored the tensions and growing frustrations among Haitians in the earthquake’s aftermath, which could present a security challenge for U.S. troops.

man sees the Haiti mission as a way to change opinions after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal tarnished the military’s image. “Now they see us helping others in a third-world country. They see us bringing food,” said Billman, 30, of Centerville, S.D. “They know there is a softer side.”
Checkered past Some Haitians even rate the Americans more highly than their own government, which, to be fair, lost many senior officials
and virtually all of its important buildings in the earthquake. “I hope the Americans stay forever so things can get better,” said 38-year-old Lenau Deschamps, an ice vendor who has camped out on a wooden pallet near the ruined National Palace since his house was destroyed. “We should keep the Americans and get rid of the Haitian government because it’s worthless.” But many know the good feelings could come to an end. For two decades in the early 20th century, the U.S. occupied the country — sometimes in brutal fashion. Later, it supported despotic rulers, including the notorious Duvalier dynasty. U.S. troops also helped return Bertrand Aristide, the fiery priest and president beloved by the poor who was ousted in a coup. Some say that history is one reason to keep the American mission as short as possible. “Our country is in a situation in which it needs help, and we can’t manage on our own,” said Anne Doris Vital, a 21-year-old electrical engineering student at the University of Haiti. “I appreciate having them here, but I don’t want this to turn into an occupation.”

new site for 9/11 trials By David B. Caruso The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Now that President Barack Obama’s administration is considering moving the Sept. 11 trial away from a courthouse in Manhattan, the question is: Where to? Legally, the Justice Department could choose a variety of locations in which to bring an indictment. There is no requirement the trials of professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others be held in the places where the most victims died, experts said. Politically, though, the administration faces a bigger challenge. Though the Justice Department has yet to publicly back down from its plan to try the suspects in New York City, officials have acknowledged that other sites are under consideration. But a growing number of lawmakers in the president’s own party say they would rather not have the proceedings in their states. Opponents include Democrats such as Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, who was among five lawmakers last week who urged Attorney General Eric Holder to reverse his decision to try Mohammed and other conspirators in civilian courts, and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who said a local trial would be too disruptive. The same held true for top Democrats in Pennsylvania, talked about by some as a potential site because of the crash of hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pa. A congressional aide said Saturday that the Obama administration is proposing a $200 million fund to help pay for security costs in cities hosting the trials, to be included in the president’s budget being released Monday; the aide spoke on condition of anonymity be-

cause the budget hasn’t been announced. A spokesman for Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Saturday that would help assuage some of the governor’s concerns about cost, but not safety.
Other candidates Other likely candidates include Alexandria, Va., which hosted the 2006 sentencing trial of 9/11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui, or a new high-security courthouse in Newport News, Va., not far from a major naval station. Michael Tigar, a Duke Law School professor who represented Terry Nichols in the trial of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, said if prosecutors charge suspects like Mohammed with being part of a conspiracy to attack the U.S., they could bring the case anywhere the hijackers traveled as they hatched their plan. That includes Florida, where they trained to fly airplanes; Boston, where some boarded a jet; San Diego, where several of them lived; or the attack targets. “The government has extensive choices of venues within the United States,” Tigar said. There is no rule that trials have to be held in a courthouse, either, rather than some other building such as a prison or a military base, he said. Republicans have argued that any trials should be conducted by military commission and be held outside the U.S., preferably at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

China leading race to make clean energy New York Times News Service TIANJIN, China — China vaulted past competitors in Denmark, Germany, Spain and the United States last year to become the world’s largest maker of wind turbines, and is poised to expand even further this year. China has also leapfrogged the West in the past two years to emerge as the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels. And the country is pushing equally hard to build nuclear reactors and the most efficient types of coal power plants.
These efforts to dominate the global manufacture of renewable energy technologies raise the prospect that the West may someday trade its dependence on oil from the Mideast for a reliance on solar panels, wind turbines and other gear manufactured in China. “Most of the energy equipment will carry a brass plate, ‘Made in China,’” said K.K. Chan, chief executive of Nature Elements Capital, a private equity fund in Beijing that focuses on renewable energy. President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union speech last
week, sounded an alarm that the United States was falling behind other countries, especially China, on energy. “I do not accept a future where the jobs and industries of tomorrow take root beyond our borders — and I know you don’t either,” he told Congress. The U.S. and other countries are offering incentives to develop their own renewable energy industries, and Obama called for redoubling American efforts. Yet many Western and Chinese executives expect China to prevail in the energy-technology race.
“The vice president, secretary of defense, joint chiefs of staff, they’ve all stayed here. ... It’s really brought an interesting aspect in talking to them about stuff other than military operations, about humanitarian needs, about the way different populations think in different countries.” — 2nd Lt. Michael White, the Iraq hotel supervisor from Crooked River Ranch
Toyota Continued from A1 While the recall involves vehicles from eight different model lines, Durfee said, it only includes a small percentage of the company’s products. The recall affects only U.S.built cars, manufactured in certain plants and equipped with an accelerator made by CTS Corp., of Elkhart, Ind. Dealers across the country have been in the difficult position of having no parts to fix the cars ever since the recall was announced. On Friday, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda made his first public comments about the recall. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he said he was “very sorry that we are making our customers feel concerned.” Toyota also uses accelerators made by Denso Corp., which is based in Japan and has operations worldwide. The recall does not include those cars. It also does not include Scions, Highlander or Camry hybrids, or regular Camrys, RAV4s, Corollas or Highlanders with vehicle identification numbers starting with the letter “J,” which indicates the vehicle was made in Japan.
Toyota officials unworried — in Japan, at least
“It’s a very small (number of vehicles),” Durfee said, “less than 10 percent of the inventory I have on the lot.” Toyota Scion of Bend inspected all its RAV4s, the dealership’s topselling Toyota. Durfee said none was among those included in the recall. Calls and e-mails from customers with questions about the recall have increased, he said, with “about one in 100” having an issue. The recall hasn’t troubled customer David Bluhm, who stopped at Toyota Scion of Bend on Friday for service on his 2009 Highlander, the first Toyota the 71-year-old Bend resident has owned. His is not among those recalled. “In spite of what they’re going through, I have the utmost confidence they’ll get it resolved,” Bluhm said, adding that his support stems from Toyota’s longtime reputation for building quality cars and trucks. “The fact that they’ve taken that kind of action,” he said, referring to shutting down production and suspending sales to address the problem, “is just frosting on the cake.” Tim Doran can be reached at 541-383-0360, or at tdoran@bendbulletin.com. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Staff Sgt. Robert Garcia, of Oregon City, Sgt. 1st Class Keith Spaulding, of Woodland, Wash., and Sgt. Andy Cleland, of Burns, pose for a photo with Vice President Joe Biden during Biden’s recent visit to Camp Liberty, Iraq. Several Oregon soldiers have been able to meet top-level military and political leaders while serving in Iraq. More than 2,500 Oregon Guardsmen are deployed in the country, including about 110 from Central Oregon.
Iraq Continued from A1 The deployment officially began in May, when the soldiers traveled to Fort Stewart, near Savannah, Ga., for two months of training. After a short stay in Kuwait, the 41st Brigade arrived in Iraq in July and is scheduled to return home this spring. Some of the Oregon soldiers are responsible for security on the base where they are stationed, while others protect civilian contractors moving supplies around the country or visiting dignitaries. Much of the training the soldiers received before leaving for the Middle East — learning to secure a convoy of Humvees after an explosion or handling armed civilians at a checkpoint — was in preparation for more standard security missions. Running a hotel, White said, requires an entirely different set of skills. In preparation for their work at the Joint Visitors Bureau, White’s platoon received hands-on training at the Mansion on Forsyth Park, a historic hotel in Savannah. Though working in Iraq comes with plenty of unique challenges — trying to prepare meals from scratch can be tough with limited supplies — White said the job is generally the same in any location. “We’re trying to improve the ability here for senior-level officials and senior-level officers so they can accomplish their missions without having to give any thought to their (needs at the hotel,”) he said. “In a normal hotel, they’re there to make a profit, and even though we’re not profitdriven, we try to utilize the same procedures, the same tactics to accomplish the mission.” The biggest perk of the assignment, White said, is the chance to meet the people making the decisions about military strategy and foreign policy. “The vice president, secretary of defense, joint chiefs of staff, they’ve all stayed here,” he said. “And I’ve gotten to meet a lot of civilian advisers as well. It’s really
brought an interesting aspect in talking to them about stuff other than military operations, about humanitarian needs, about the way different populations think in different countries and what we need to do.” Sgt. Anthony Treas, 33, of Bend, has run into his share of big names as a team leader for a squad that provides transportation and security for what the Army calls “distinguished visitors” — people like Vice President Joe Biden, who visited Iraq earlier this month. Treas said his job requires a lot of flexibility, from being called to pick up visitors at any hour of the day or night, to coordinating with other soldiers, Secret Service agents and staff members of the visitors he’s assigned to protect. “You’re really pushed to the limit as far as you want to be a good leader and you discover some things you need to work on and just dealing with social issues, dealing with the soldiers (can be challenging),” he said. “Even in relationships, you need time away from each other. And we see each other every day in a stressful situation, and it’s an everyday thing, everyday battle, working with people, trying to understand people, trying to understand yourself as a leader and hoping you do a good job.” When he gets time off, Treas said he stays in touch with his wife over Internet chat conversations, taking online college classes, and practicing and teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a gym on the base. He said most soldiers live in small, two-person rooms called CHUs — containerized housing units — which look like commercial shipping containers. Though the quarters are tight, many soldiers have made their space comfortable, purchasing microwaves, refrigerators and TVs. Overall, he said, the conditions aren’t bad. “We have it really good,” said Treas. “The soldiers in Afghanistan, I think, those are the guys right now who are really doing the job.” When the soldiers first arrived in Iraq, the temperatures were
blisteringly hot, surging up to 129 degrees, Maj. John Roskowski, 53, of Bend, wrote in an e-mail. These days, it’s much cooler, with temperatures dipping into the 30s and 40s. “We have gotten a little bit of rain this winter,” Roskowski wrote. “When it does rain, the ground gets very pasty ... kind of like pancake batter. It sticks to our boots and makes an incredible mess everywhere we walk.” Many soldiers have been able to return home on leave at some point during the deployment. White was back in Central Oregon for about two weeks in August, when he took his 8-year-old son, Connor, to his first football game. Treas was home for Thanksgiving and was able to visit family out of the state. Maj. Scot Caughran, who works at the Bend Armory and communicates frequently with the deployed troops, said it’s not clear yet exactly when the deployment will wrap up. But once the soldiers leave Iraq, he said they’ll probably travel through Kuwait before ending up at an Army base in the U.S., where they’ll spend a few days doing paperwork and preparing to demobilize before returning to Oregon. Treas said he plans to become a full-time student at Central Oregon Community College when he gets home. He said he hopes he’ll be able to settle back into life at home without having to return to the Middle East any time soon. “It’s really been an interesting experience,” he said. “This is my first deployment, and I just want to make the best of it, and I’m just glad it’s over here soon.” White said he plans to stay in the military after this deployment — likely on active duty in the Army, which means he could be deployed again. But running a hotel again? White said one time has been enough. “No,” he said, chuckling. “No. This is a first for me. And a last.”

TOKYO — Some of the same Toyota models recalled in the U.S., Europe and China are on Japanese roads. But they use a different parts supplier than CTS Corp. So far, Toyota’s reputation for quality is holding up in Japan. Some Japanese experts are optimistic the fallout from the U.S. woes will fade in a few months. They see Toyota’s troubles as having crept up because the automaker expanded too quickly, making it difficult to duplicate the “Toyota Way,” known for impeccable quality controls, in places that are quite different from Japan.

Tobacco Continued from A1 This month, as the federal government began fine-tuning aspects of a law President Barack Obama signed last summer that gives the government sweeping new powers to regulate the production and marketing of tobacco products, another possible answer was highlighted. A series of letters that Altria submitted to the FDA as part of that process argues that the government should, effectively, sign off on the notion that smokeless tobacco products are less harmful than cigarettes — and that Altria and other companies should be allowed to market them as such to consumers. It is a pivotal and divisive claim. While public health doctors agree that the smokeless products are far less hazardous to individuals than cigarettes, they still have concerns because all tobacco products contain nicotine and carcinogens. They also contend that promoting smokeless products — some in tiny packages in the shape of cigarette packs — would attract new, perhaps younger customers and maintain the addiction for smokers who might otherwise quit. They note that Altria is adding flavorings to its smokeless products that have long been used in candy. Furthermore, critics say, Altria’s suggestion to the FDA that it be allowed to market its products as less risky is part of an effort to dodge indoor-smoking laws (which are credited with encouraging more smokers to quit) and to encourage smokers to use oral tobacco products as supplements. “If you look at how they’re marketing smokeless now, they’re marketing for dual use, and to protect the cigarette market, which is their big moneymaker,” says Stanton Glantz, a professor of cardiology and a specialist in tobacco research at the University of California, San Francisco.
Relationship with the FDA Under its gregarious chief executive, an occasional smoker named Michael Szymanczyk, Altria is treading carefully when it comes to talking about its business strategies or its relationship with the FDA. After its letters to the regulator made headlines this month, the company canceled interviews for this article with top executives at its headquarters in Richmond, Va. An Altria spokesman says the executives declined to comment because “we don’t want to be perceived as leading the discussion” on the regulatory front. Brendan McCormick, another Altria spokesman, says the company supported the legislation enacted last summer because it believed that the FDA offered the best way to settle the debates about tobacco use and marketing, which have raged for decades. He says the company believes that FDA standards will create more predictability in the industry and a level playing field for competitors. Moreover, he says, the FDA provides a forum to evaluate products that are potentially less harmful — and if the agency agrees with its argument, the company could market them with a federal imprimatur. McCormick says Altria doesn’t agree with criticisms that the new tobacco law and the company’s willingness to work closely with its regulator cement its market dominance. “This is a dynamic industry,” he says. And Altria is a changing company. It spent $11.7 billion last year to acquire UST, formerly U.S. Tobacco Co. and home to popular snuff brands like Copenhagen and Skoal. The merger made Altria the biggest cigarette and chew company in the country, controlling 50 percent of the cigarette market and 55 percent of the smokeless market. The deal also solved several quandaries facing the company. The biggest was that, after its spinoff of Kraft Foods and the less-regulated, faster-growing Philip Morris International units in recent years, Altria had become a stand-alone domestic cigarette company in a declining industry. Bans on indoor smoking, along with rising federal and state excise taxes, have accelerated a long-term decline in the volume of domestic cigarette sales. Volumes may be declining, but cigarettes remain Altria’s biggest business by far, accounting for $14.4 billion in revenue in 2009. (Smokeless brought in $1.2 billion.) Cigarette profits are growing thanks to price increases and a customer base of people who haven’t kicked the habit. About 70 percent of the nation’s 46 million smokers say they want to quit, surveys show, and about 40 percent try every year. But only 2.5 percent succeed, the surveys say.
THE BULLETIN • Sunday, January 31, 2010 A5 LEFT: Marlboro Snus is smoke-free and comes in flavors. Its packaging looks more like that of cigarettes than chewing tobacco. RIGHT: An Altria direct-mail flier sent to adults suggests that smokers use Marlboro Snus — which is placed under the upper lip — not as a replacement for cigarettes but as a supplement when lighting up is prohibited.

Michael Szymanczyk, Altria’s chief executive, supported regulation of tobacco but is urging the government to allow more marketing of smokeless products like Snus. Meanwhile, critics say that the company is pushing the smokeless products as a way of protecting the cigarette market, which is where Altria makes most of its money. The government estimates that 400,000 Americans die of smoking-related diseases each year. Critics and public health officials contend that in focusing the FDA’s attention on smokeless products, a much smaller but growing industry, Altria and other tobacco companies are diverting regulators’ attention from the source of the real public health problem: cigarettes. Consider so-called light cigarettes, which have captured nearly 90 percent of the United States market, based largely, analysts say, on the false perception among consumers that they are safer. (Many studies have shown that smokers inhale those cigarettes more deeply.) While manufacturers are required by the new law to drop words like “light,” low” and “mild” from their labels by this summer, a federal judge has ruled that the companies can still use pale blue, green or silver packaging, which critics say signifies the same thing to consumers. “They’re taking the FDA debate and making it on smokeless rather than ‘light’ cigarettes, which is where the real harm is,” says Gregory Connolly, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health who was head of tobacco control for Massachusetts. “It’s brilliant, in a way.”
‘Societal alignment’ When Szymanczyk joined Philip Morris as head of sales in 1990, the company was No. 2 on Fortune magazine’s list of America’s “most admired” companies. Four years later, it had fallen to No. 204, after taking a bashing in court and in the press. Szymanczyk, who started his career selling bar soap at Procter & Gamble, faced a huge cleanup job when he was handed the reins to the domestic cigarette business in 1997. Shortly after, Philip Morris and other major tobacco companies signed a master settlement agreement with states, which imposed strict restrictions on cigarette marketing and advertising, and required the companies to pay $206 billion to state governments over 25 years. The settlement left him facing three major challenges. First, he needed to repair Philip Morris’ badly tarnished image. To address that, the company began acknowledging that cigarettes were harmful, executives pursued the “societal alignment” strategy emphasizing good corporate citizenry, and the parent company eventually rebranded itself as Altria. Szymanczyk also needed to maintain the company’s cigarette market share, even though the industry could no longer use mass advertising on billboards and products like hats and T-shirts. So the company focused more on direct mailings, store signs and shelf space. And, finally, at the most fundamental level, he needed to make the business grow. As for that hurdle, Szymanczyk initially chased after ways to develop a less-harmful cigarette, but even after years of research little progress has
been made on that front. Then the company headed down the smokeless route, developing its own brand of Marlboro snuff, which was dropped from test marketing after the acquisition of UST. It then worked on several iterations of a spit-free smokeless pouch called Snus (rhymes with “loose”) that is placed under the upper lip and has been popular in Sweden. Altria recently told its distributors that Marlboro Snus would move out of test marketing and be available nationwide in March. But some analysts say that there
have been very few successful new product introductions in the tobacco industry for decades, suggesting that Snus is up against steep odds. “It’s a pipe dream,” says David Adelman, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, of the prospects for Snus. While Altria tried to buy growth with the UST deal, the merger has been a disappointment so far. Even as the company has cut costs by combining cigarette and snuff sales forces and distribution, Szymanczyk is struggling to get the financial returns he initially promised in the deal. Some of this is because UST’s higher-priced premium snuff brands have struggled against aggressive, less-expensive competitors. But a great deal of Altria’s woes have to do with how the UST acquisition was financed. A week after the merger was announced in September 2008, the Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and the banking system clammed up. Altria wound up paying interest rates of as much as 10.2 percent to borrow the $11 billion it needed to get the deal done. “They needed to raise debt at a bad time in the world,” says Christopher Growe, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, the investment bank. Like other analysts, Growe says smokeless could be a business with strong potential growth for Altria. “There’s an opportunity that, in the long run, the FDA could treat smokeless tobacco dif-
ferently than cigarettes,” he says. That, of course, is exactly what Altria is betting on. Ads for Snus position it as a convenient alternative when a smoker can’t light up in a public place, something that provides a bridge from the last cigarette to the next. “Whenever smoking isn’t an option, reach for new Marlboro Snus,” states one ad that shows a small foil packet of the product, complete with the Marlboro logo. “The foilpack fits per-
fectly alongside your smokes.” Connolly, the public health professor, says Altria’s arguments for smokeless tobacco present a public health threat if either the FDA or the public health experts end up agreeing with them. “It is worth noting that for every pack of Snus sold in the U.S., about 3,000 packs of lights are sold,” he wrote in his message to public health experts this month. “Maybe we need to better understand our priorities for FDA regulation.”

Invasive
Continued from A1
Continued from A1 Those questions became more urgent Tuesday when a team of scientists led by the University of Notre Dame disclosed that silver carp dominating stretches of the Mississippi River and its tributaries had infiltrated Lake Michigan. The federal government had spent $22 million on electric barriers in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to keep carp out, but it clearly wasn’t enough. An additional $33 million is going into the effort next year.
Pipeline permitting • Companies behind a bid to build a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Columbia River are pushing a bill that would let them apply for permits to move earth in wetlands on private property without first obtaining the landowner’s permission. Dubbed the “LNG fast-track” bill, Senate Bill 1020 is opposed by environmentalists, in part because it would aid a pipeline proposed to run from the LNG terminal east through the Mount Hood National Forest.
Guest ranches • Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, wants to renew a law that allows guest ranches in Central and Eastern Oregon. Guest ranches basically allow tourists to pay for lodging at working ranches, similar to Long Hollow Ranch in Sisters. The previous guest ranch law expired last year. Legislation regarding the economy will also play a major part in the February session, and both Republicans and Democrats say jobs will be their priority. However, they will pursue their agendas in different ways. House Speaker Dave Hunt, D-Gladstone, said Democrats want to beef up a program offering state-backed loans to businesses, as well as improve day care availability for working parents. Republicans, meanwhile, are pushing a tax credit program for businesses that create new jobs. Beyond that, Democrats hope to push bills allowing the Legislature to meet annually as a matter of course, as well as to amend Oregon’s kicker law. The latter would allow a portion of surplus tax payments to be used to build a budget reserve for emergencies.

Germ blocks TB in vaccine trial Bloomberg News An experimental vaccine based on a germ found in soil has cut tuberculosis infections among people with HIV, the first time a shot has been shown to reduce cases of the most common AIDS-related cause of death in poor nations. The shots reduced TB infections by 39 percent in patients who received them, compared with those who got a placebo, according to a study published online by the journal AIDS. Tuberculosis and HIV are a lethal combination, each speeding the other’s progress, according to the World Health Organization. TB infects about 8.8 million people and kills 1.7 million each year, according to the WHO.
“It sometimes takes dramatic evidence to bring public attention to something that’s been a problem for some time. We’re seeing a wake-up call.” — Tom Strickland, assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks, Interior Department
Case study in the Great Lakes A coalition of six Great Lakes states and the Canadian province of Ontario have sought a preliminary injunction from the Supreme Court to shut down two major locks immediately on the grounds that an Asian carp invasion would cause “irreparable harm.” The court declined to grant the injunction this month, but it will accept briefs next month on the broader question of whether to close them at all. Army Corps of Engineers officials say it’s too early to shut down the locks. They are focused on building a third electrical barrier to provide yet another obstacle to Asian carp infiltrating Lake Michigan. “It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s a good tool to impede the movement of the silver and bighead carp,” said Col. Vincent Quarles, commander of the Army Corps’ Chicago District. But the barriers are not surefire, and experts say it’s difficult to tell how many Asian carp would have to make it through to establish a viable population. Southern catfish farmers began importing silver and bighead carp from China in the 1970s to eat up algae in their ponds. Some carp escaped during flooding, and now the fish so thoroughly dominate the Illinois River that communities have annual fishing tournaments targeting them.
Legislation from area lawmakers Two of the three Bend-area lawmakers are sponsoring bills. Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, is pushing a bill that would save police overtime costs by allowing officers to testify over the telephone at state administrative hearings on whether a drunken-driving defendant’s license can be suspended. Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, is behind a bill that would affect the state’s ability to make irrigation districts building hydroelectric projects pay to establish fish passage. The bill pertains to a dispute concerning the North Canal Dam on the Deschutes River, where the state is trying to get local districts to pay for fish passage there. Telfer notes that the districts’ projects are nowhere near the dam, and are instead located on irrigation canals where there are no fish. She’s also sponsoring a bill that would allow private clubs to obtain liquor licenses, much as nonprofit clubs already do. The bill would benefit a private club called The Loft of Bend. Rep. Gene Whisnant, RSunriver, is not introducing a bill this session, because the session is limited to four weeks and, with Democrats in charge, it’s unlikely he would be successful, he says. He also questions the justification for a special session now that the tax measures have passed and an immediate budget crisis was averted.

Far from being cute, cuddly animals, nutria are rodents with orange teeth and voracious appetites, one of thousands of invasive species gaining footholds in areas like Oregon, where they destroy the natural habitat. U.S. officials have been fighting invasive species for many years, but efforts have intensified in recent years as the impact has become clear. For instance, zebra and quagga mussels that were once restricted to the Great Lakes have moved west, clogging systems at critical dams.
‘A wake-up call’ In the mid-Atlantic, state and federal officials have been waging war against the snakehead, a voracious fish that has infiltrated the Potomac River and now occupies 70 river miles. Scientists first detected the fish in 2004. Now, thousands swim there, posing a threat to such native species as the American shad and alewife herring. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has announced that he would ban the importation and interstate trade of the Burmese python and eight other large constrictor

Even blue California could vote red, too By Tony Castro Los Angeles Daily News
Voter apathy among Latinos and other minority voters threatens to turn traditionally blue state California into another Massachusetts-like shocker in this year’s midterm elections, political experts are warning. The importance of the turnout among Latinos and other minorities, according to several political consultants and strategists, underscores the tenuous position of statewide Democratic candidates in a new Field Poll showing them in trouble with white voters. Longtime incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer trailed Republican challenger Tom Campbell 46 to 43 percent among white voters, but leads him by 10 points overall because of Boxer’s 74point advantage among AfricanAmericans and 36-point advantage among Latinos. A similar situation holds true in the gubernatorial race among likely Democratic nominee Jerry Brown, a former two-term governor, and Republican businesswoman Meg Whitman.
Minority voters A low Latino and minority voter turnout could doom the Boxer and Brown campaigns, said Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo. “Short of reaching out to Latinos and the ethnic population, the only real hope for Republicans statewide is that (minorities) not show up to vote,” DiCamillo said. “In a low-turnout election, the impact of ethnic minority voters becomes less, and (Republicans) have to hope for a low-turnout election — the lower, the better.” “The challenge for Democrats with Latino, African-American and other ethnic voters is not necessarily in winning their support but in getting them to turn out in high numbers,” said Dan Schnur, a former Republican strategist who directs the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California, “and this is especially a challenge for Democrats in nonpresidential elections.” Historically, voter turnout as a whole is lower in midterm elections from presidential election years — down almost 20 percent in 2006 from 2004, and more than 20 percent in 2002 from 2000, both in California and nationwide.

Key Largo wood rat. Sam Hamilton, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, called exotic species “probably the single greatest threat in our country to our native wildlife.” But despite the growing concern, some say the United States is just beginning to come to terms with one of its most formidable environmental foes. “It seems to me we are in denial,” said Lindsay Chadderton, aquatic invasive species director for the Nature Conservancy’s Great Lakes Project and one of the researchers who found the Asian carp’s genetic fingerprint in Lake Michigan. “By the time we understand the severity of the problem, it’s too late. Prevention is the only cost-effective way of dealing with this.” The dispute has spurred competing economic analyses. Illinois, which uses the canal system to move wastewater from sewage,
chemical and power plants as well as to ship a slew of commercial goods, argued in its recent Supreme Court brief that closing locks would “have a devastating effect” on the region’s economy and hamper boat rescue operations. And the American Waterways Operators, the trade association for the nation’s tugboat, towboat and barge industry, estimates that closing the Mississippi locks to Lake Michigan would cost suppliers tens of millions of dollars and perhaps thousands of jobs. Nancy Sutley, the chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and several senior Obama administration officials will meet with Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn on Feb. 8 in Washington to attempt to broker a resolution to the Asian carp dispute. “Keeping the numbers low is key,” said Phil Moy, a fisheries and invasive species specialist at the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute. Moy said measures such as electrical barriers “buy us time, but it’s not the endall solution. We’ve got to move toward this ecological or hydrological separation.”

Palin PAC raises $1.4M in 6 months
By Carrie Johnson
Sarah PAC, the political action committee of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, collected $1.4 million over the final six months of 2009, a solid — if not spectacular — total that demonstrates her fundraising capacity as she mulls a bid for national office in 2012. “We are thrilled,” said Palin senior adviser Meg Stapleton about the fundraising total. “Common-sense Americans know the direction we need to take this country and that Sarah Palin will be instrumental in taking us there this year.” For the year, Palin raised roughly $2.1 million through Sarah PAC and ended the year with $900,000 in the bank. She donated $64,600 to candidates and party committees. That relatively high burn rate is due to an expansion of the organization’s staff, according to those familiar with its operations. Palin’s six-month total is roughly comparable to the $1.3 million that Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn., raised in just the final three months of the year via his Freedom First PAC.

Bush administration lawyers who paved the way for sleep deprivation and waterboarding of terrorism suspects exercised poor judgment but will not be referred to authorities for possible sanctions, according to a forthcoming ethics report, a legal source confirmed. The work of John Yoo and Jay Bybee, officials in the Bush Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, provided the basis for controversial interrogation strategies that critics likened to torture in the years after al-Qaida’s 2001 terrorist strikes on American soil. The men and their OLC colleague Steven Bradbury became focal points of anger from Senate Democrats and civil liberties groups because their memos essentially insulated CIA interrogators and contractors from legal consequences for their roles in harsh questioning. The reasoning, set out in a series of secret memos only months after Sept. 11, 2001, prompted a multiyear investigation by the department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, which reviews the ethics of Justice lawyers. A draft report prepared at the end of the Bush years recommended that Yoo, now a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, and Bybee, now a federal appeals judge based in Nevada,

be referred to state disciplinary authorities for sanctions that could have included the revocation of their licenses to practice law. But then-Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Deputy Mark Filip blasted the analysis in the draft and sent it back to the ethics office for more work. Meanwhile, the five-year statute of limitations on Yoo’s alleged conduct expired, raising doubts about whether a disciplinary referral would have had any bite. Reportedly, the draft report did not recommend Bradbury face sanctions. The conclusion by Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department is likely to unsettle interest groups that have sought a reckoning for lawyers who made possible brutal interrogation, warrantless wiretapping and other Bush counterterrorism strategies. It could have the strongest effect on Bybee, a sitting judge whose allies had established a legal defense fund in the event that he had to fend off a lengthy state discipline and impeachment fight.
Uniting foster teens with relatives takes detectives ... and luck By Erik Eckholm New York Times News Service
ST. LOUIS — After a day of knocking on doors chasing fleeting leads, Carlos Lopez and his partner finally heard welcome words: Yes, a resident confirmed, the man they were seeking lived in this house and would be home that evening. Lopez, a former police detective, now does gumshoe work for what he calls a more fulfilling cause: tracking down long-lost relatives of teenagers languishing in foster care, in desperate need of family ties and in danger of becoming rootless adults. That recent day, he was hoping to find the father of a boy who had lived in 16 different foster homes since 1995. The boy did not remember his mother, who had long since disappeared. Finding an adoptive parent for older children with years in foster care is known in child welfare circles as the toughest challenge. Typically, their biological parents abused or neglected them and had parental rights terminated. Relatives may not know where the children are, or even that they exist. And the supply of saints in the general public, willing to adopt teenagers shaken by years of trauma and loss, is limited. The intensive searches in St. Louis reflect a growing national shift toward relatives as caretakers, a quest that often has been limited by a seeming scarcity of known suitable kin. But scores of foster and adoption agencies around the country have found that assertive efforts relying on the Internet, the telephone, advertisements and, in some cases like this one, door-to-door questioning by full-time investigators, can turn up dozens of relatives for almost any child. Many of them turn out to be
willing to help nieces, nephews and grandchildren they had never seen. The potential of such searches was first established about a decade ago by Kevin Campbell, a former head of a charity in Washington state. In his initial work, mainly using computer databases, Campbell located 40 to 150 relatives each for most children in his program, reaching as far as grandparents’ siblings. “Some relatives recoil when contacted,” he said. The surprise calls can rekindle ugly family histories. “But many want to help and are willing to consider adoption.” The pull of blood ties affected Robert Jackson, a 53-year-old meat packer across the Mississippi River in Fairview, Ill. He had not known that his troubled younger brother had fathered two children in St. Louis who soon ended up in foster care, with the parents’ rights terminated by a court. By chance, about two years ago he saw an advertisement in a local newspaper for potential adoptive parents that featured a picture of Charles, now 13, and Charlotte, now 12. Jackson did a double take: The boy bore an uncanny resemblance to his brother, the girl resembled a sister, and Charles and Charlotte were family names. After confirming his suspicion, Jackson recalled, “I thought, ‘We’ve got to bring them back into the family.’” He and his wife, Maxine, went to see the children and started the adoption process. Of that first meeting with his uncle, Charles said, “I thought he really looked like me.” After his adoption, recalled Liz Johnson, a social worker and “recruiter” with the coalition here, Charles said to her: “I’m a real boy now. I’m not a boy in foster care anymore.”

Charles Jackson, 13, and his sister Charlotte, 12, were adopted by their uncle, Robert Jackson, who was unaware he had a nephew and a niece in foster care until a chance recognition in a newspaper.
RICHMOND, Va. — A winter storm that crossed in a nearly straight line dumping snow, sleet and ice this week from northern Texas to Washington was heading off the Atlantic coast early today. More than 5 inches of dry, fluffy snow was reported in Washington but it was finishing up by late Saturday night, National Weather Service forecaster Matthew Kramar said. The storm left a wake of damage beginning in northern Texas and Oklahoma, where snow and ice shut down interstates and snapped power lines to thousands of customers. It left roads icy and snowpacked across the South, and thousands were without power as ice accumulated. Although police said they had to clear hundreds of wrecks overnight, there were no deaths or serious injuries reported. A central Tennessee woman was killed when a tree weighted down by ice crashed into her mobile home early Saturday, Maury County officials said. In southern Maryland, one person was found dead after a house fire in Accokeek that firefighters said they had a hard time getting to because of the snow.

Cars line up on a street in Nashville, Tenn., as police direct traffic around three cars that slid off the road after a storm dropped about half a foot of snow on the city over the past couple of days. Other parts of the South received even more. Prince George’s county fire department spokesman Mark Brady said the winter storm and snowfall made driving conditions hazardous. In northern Virginia, the weather caused several multivehicle crashes along Interstate 81 in Shenandoah County, Virginia State Police said. Four people were hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries. The weather also cut short a farewell celebration Saturday
at the National Zoo in Washington for young panda Tai Shan, who will be flown to China on Thursday to become part of a breeding program. In Smyrna, Tenn., southeast of Nashville, a high school bowling tournament was postponed after snow and ice caused the roof to collapse at the bowling alley where it was to be held, according to the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association.

America’s new hope: the Afghan tribes By Ruhullah Khapalwak and David Rohde New York Times News Service
For three decades now, communism, civil war and Islamic fundamentalism have laid siege to Afghanistan’s tribes. In many ways, Afghanistan’s tribal structure is arguably the weakest it has been in the country’s history. Nonetheless, American civilian and military leaders are turning to some of these tribes as potentially their best hope for success against the resurgent Taliban after being frustrated by the weak leadership of President Hamid Karzai. Tribes have existed for millennia in the area that is present-day Afghanistan. They emerged over centuries in various sections of the country, taking form along extended kinship lines. Led by councils of elders, tribes provided their members with protection, financial support, a means to resolve disputes, and punishment of those who had committed crimes or broken tribal codes of conduct. For Pashtuns, the country’s largest ethnic group and the Taliban’s

At the opening of a border police headquarters in Jalalabad on Wednesday, elders from the Shinwari tribe, which represents about 400,000 people in southeastern Afghanistan, vowed to fight the Taliban.
A N A LY S I S primary source of support, tribes are particularly important. Successfully turning Pashtun tribes against the Taliban — or perhaps families or sub-tribes if they deal with the government on their own — could deliver a serious blow to the insurgency and potentially create a means of stabilizing the long-suffering country.
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
Leaders in Davos fight to regain public trust By Alison Smale New York Times News Service
DAVOS, Switzerland — If there was one takeaway from the annual gathering of business and political leaders in Davos this year, it was this: Trust in governments, corporations and above all banks has become as elusive as sure footing on the icy streets of this Alpine resort. There was general relief that the financial system had been pulled back from the abyss glimpsed by many speakers at Davos a year ago. As the chairman of the British bank HSBC, Stephen Green, put it, “We’re in a better place than we were then,” although “there has been a huge breakdown in trust.” Over four days of mostly closed-door meetings at the World Economic Forum, bankers, central bankers and politicians reached no consensus on the best way forward to regulate markets or banks. Like many bankers, Green acknowledged “political initiatives on both sides of the Atlantic,” but was not ready to cede the terrain to politicians. “It is very important,” he said, “that we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Members of the financial services industry seemed ruefully aware of how far they had sunk in public regard. Commenting on whether private equity companies would support an Obama administration proposal on bank regulation, David Rubenstein, managing
director of the buyout firm Carlyle Group, quipped, “Our position is unsure because we’re afraid if we come out in favor, it won’t pass.” Perhaps the billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros summed up the ambivalence most succinctly. “You want to keep regulation to a minimum,” he said, “because it is worse than markets. But you can’t do without it.” And so, from President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, who urged creation of a new international monetary system and even a new reserve currency to replace the dollar, to angry representatives from trade unions, to the white businessmen in suits who still dominate this snow-kissed gathering, the one certainty seemed to be continued uncertainty. Contrast that with the buoyant presentation, in the same discussion, by Zhu Min, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China. “China had a good year,” Zhu said. The Chinese delegation this year was the biggest in 40 years of the Davos gathering. Their appearance exuded much more confidence than even two years ago, a reflection of what many participants here said was a clear shift of power east, particularly to China. The effect of that shift, and whether it will lead to cooperation or confrontation, concerns policymakers in the West, particularly the United States. China suggested that trust might be the answer here, too.
China threatens sanctions for Taiwan weapons deal By Barbara Demick Los Angeles Times
BEIJING — The Chinese announced Saturday a series of harsh retaliatory measures in protest of the Pentagon’s $6 billion arms sale to Taiwan, including a suspension of security exchanges and threatened sanctions on U.S. companies selling to Taiwan. “The U.S. decision seriously endangers China’s national security and harms China’s core interests,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement attributed to spokesman Huang Xueping. Denunciations from Beijing over arms sales to Taiwan have an element of ritual about them, but the threat of sanctions on U.S. arms contractors is a new one. It remains to be seen whether China will follow through, given its need for commercial aircraft and aviation systems. “Beijing doesn’t want to overreach,” said Bonnie Glaser, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “... In the aftermath of the Google incident, Beijing needs to think carefully before taking measures that would sour the business community on China.” The biggest immediate casualty of the Taiwan arms sale may be President Barack Obama’s nuclear security summit planned for April. It had been hoped that Chinese President Hu Jintao would
Strained relations Tensions between China and the U.S. have flared in recent months over Google’s accusation that China was behind a series of computer attacks, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stepped in to chide China about Internet censorship. The United States has also admonished Beijing over its reluctance to join in a fresh round of international sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. And the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, plans to visit the United States next month and is expected to seek a meeting with President Barack Obama — a move sure to infuriate Beijing. attend; now China is more likely to send a lower-ranking official. But in various statements Saturday, the Chinese government used the word “postpone” rather than cancel, hinting that normal dialogue will resume after several months. On Saturday, the State Department defended the arms deal, saying, “such sales contribute to maintaining security and stability across the Taiwan Strait.” Under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, the U.S. is committed to supplying weapons to Taiwan to defend itself from a mainland attack. China considers Taiwan a breakaway province.
Some Afghans, though, warn that the tribal system is not a panacea and fear that the United States is adopting a quick-fix approach that will not create longterm stability. They see the tribes as inherently anachronistic, sexist and corrupt — a system that further undermines the already extraordinarily difficult task of creating multiethnic, merit-based national institutions. They warn that the country would be thrown
into the hands of myriad tribal militias that the central government could never control. Earlier this month, the importance of the tribes to U.S. strategy became clear when the leaders of the Shinwari tribe in eastern Afghanistan agreed to work with the government and forbid cooperation with the Taliban. The pact was announced as a major first step for the U.S. effort to win over the tribes.
It was not the first time outsiders have turned to Afghanistan’s tribes as allies and surrogates. The British, who fought Russia for control of the region in the 19th century, brought with them a practice of enlisting local leaders. After the British departed, Afghan kings in Kabul relied on the tribal structure to maintain stability and order in remote areas. Since being toppled in 2001, the Taliban have mercilessly targeted tribal elders who support the Karzai government, apparently viewing them as one of their greatest potential rivals. At the same time, Karzai’s weak government has struggled to protect and strengthen tribal elders, hundreds of whom have been killed in assassinations and bomb attacks. One hallmark of the U.S. agreement with the Shinwari tribe is that $1 million in U.S. development aid will go directly to Shinwari elders. The money will bypass Karzai government officials, whom Shinwari elders dismiss as corrupt and ineffective.
NATO strike leaves 4 Afghans dead KABUL — A joint U.S.Afghan force clashed with Afghan troops manning a snow-covered outpost and called in an airstrike early Saturday, killing four Afghan soldiers. Both sides called the clash a case of mistaken identity. Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry demanded punishment for those responsible. NATO will investigate. The deaths are likely to strain relations between NATO and Afghan forces at a time both are calling for a closer partnership in the fight against the Taliban, whose leaders are denouncing reports that they had met with a senior U.N. official to discuss face-toface peace talks with the Afghan government. — From wire reports

2 arrests made in Redmond bank robbery
Washington Week WASHINGTON — Limiting federal deficits was the issue du jour in Washington, D.C., last week. President Barack Obama pitched a three-year spending freeze for most federal programs, U.S. Senate Democrats passed a rule requiring that new spending bills must offset new expenses and a bipartisan bill would have created a near-freeze on spending for five years. The biggest event last week, of course, was Obama’s first State of the Union address. Obama had delivered two previous speeches to joint sessions of Congress, but this one was the first with the official State of the Union label. Here’s how Oregon’s lawmakers voted last week.

Two people were arrested Friday afternoon in connection with a Friday morning robbery at the Sterling Savings Bank in Redmond. At around 11:21 a.m., a man entered the bank on Veterans Way and handed a threatening note to a teller demanding money. The teller complied, and the man fled the scene. Between physical evidence and witness statements, Redmond Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified a suspect and his vehicle. Police stopped the vehicle on U.S. Highway 97 south of Redmond near Pleasant Ridge Road around 3 p.m. and arrested Donovan Joel Haskin, 40, from Hammond. Haskin was taken to the Redmond Police Department for questioning, and was arrested and lodged at the Deschutes County jail on suspicion of first- and second-degree theft, second-degree robbery, first-degree theft by receiving, menacing, coercion, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine. Police located a portion of the stolen money with Haskin, and searched two homes and a motel room in Redmond in an effort to recover the rest. Additional money was recovered at a home on Timber View Court. Homeowner Teresa Louise Hopson, 32, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree theft by receiving, unlawful possession and delivery of methamphetamine, and endangering the welfare of a child. As of Saturday night, Haskin and Hopson had both been released from the jail. Scott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or at shammers@bendbulletin.com.

Central Oregonians’ e-waste would’ve filled 60 semis in first year of recycling By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin
Oregonians recycled more televisions, computers and monitors than expected during the first year of the state’s E-Cycles Program, bringing in almost 19 million pounds of the electronics. “We thought it would exceed our original goal of 12.2 million, but we were impressed at how much,” said Kathy Kiwala, program manager with the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality. “Oregonians evidently had things saved up.” The 19 million pounds collected since January 2009, when sites across the state started accepting certain electronics for free, kept about 1.2 million pounds of lead out of landfills, according to DEQ. And the agency expects the amount recycled to increase this year, with a new ban in place that prohibits throwing
TVs and computers in the regular trash. Central Oregonians recycled about 600,000 pounds of electronics at Deschutes Recycling, said Brian Stone, the company’s manager. That’s the equivalent of about 60 semi-trucks worth of material, he noted. “Imagine 60 semis, rolling down the road, full of the stuff that we avoided putting in the landfill,” Stone said.
It took Deschutes Recycling a couple of months to figure out how to deal with the influx of televisions and computers, he said, but the crews soon unraveled the logistics involved with buying 100 pallets a month, as well as the boxes needed to pack the devices in. “We were almost overwhelmed last year,” Stone said. “It took awhile to get all those things in place.” See E-waste / B6

Portland officer files whistle-blower claim The Associated Press PORTLAND — A Portland police officer transferred to work at a property evidence warehouse has filed a whistle-blower complaint against the Portland Police Bureau claiming he is being punished for speaking out. Officer Thomas Brennan said he was worried that his sergeant seemed to be under too much
stress while working the streets after his involvement in the heavily publicized police custody death of James Chasse Jr. The death of the mentally ill man in 2006 after his ribs were broken during an arrest resulted in widespread publicity and lawsuits, including a federal lawsuit that is still pending. Brennan told The Oregonian
he met with his precinct commander last fall, provided details of a call in which he thought the sergeant “grossly overreacted” and recommended he be moved to a lower-profile assignment. When his concerns seemed to go nowhere, Brennan went public with them last fall, sending an e-mail to two city commissioners and the media.

O Oregon Zoo gains a trunkful of history by chance By Katy Muldoon The Oregonian
PORTLAND — The estate sale brimmed with photo negatives and slides, military memorabilia, antiquated mountaineering gear and a box that so intrigued Larry Clark he sprang for the $4 price. Its label read simply “zoo.” Good thing he snagged it: Images, memos, letters and yellowed news clippings inside the box fill in missing pieces of Oregon Zoo history. The unexpected archive provides glimpses into how things were in the 1950s and ’60s, and illuminates ways that science and husbandry have changed zoo operations. Plus, its contents make you wonder how things might have been if some outlandish ideas had taken hold. Imagine, for example, Packy, the zoo’s prize elephant, confined to a dungeon because of his frightful behavior. Or a proposal to use pachyderms to help log Northwest forests.
Benjamin Brink / The Oregonian
Carli Davidson and Larry Clark look over material about the Oregon Zoo earlier this month from a box that Clark bought for $4 at an estate sale. The archive from the 1950s and ’60s shows how science and husbandry have changed zoo operations. But first things first. Clark, a southeast Portland antique dealer, routinely peruses estate sales. In November, he spotted one across the street from
his grandparents’ old place in Vancouver. Years earlier, he’d known the homeowner enough to exchange a smile or a wave. But walk-
ing through the man’s house, he wished he’d known him better. “Somebody cool lived here,” he remembers thinking. Clark is too young, at 49, to recall the hoopla surrounding April 14, 1962, when the Portland Zoo welcomed wobbly little Packy, the first elephant born in the United States in 44 years. And he had no idea that his grandparents’ neighbor was Leverett Richards, The Oregonian reporter who shot countless photos and produced reams of copy about the big delivery, among other topics. Richards, who retired as a lieutenant colonel after 30 years in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserves, wrote for The Oregonian from 1931 until long after retiring from the newsroom in 1986. He traveled to both poles and 75 countries in between, and reported on everything from the Vietnam War to Mount St. Helens’ 1980 eruption. Richards died in 2000 at 92. He must have been a packrat,

too, given the stacks of shorthand notes, rough drafts, magazines, brochures, Christmas cards and other stuff relegated to boxes in his estate sale.
Cast of characters Clark nosed through the box he bought, scanned the most interesting photos into his computer, then gave the contents to Carli Davidson, his next-door neighbor. Davidson, a commercial photographer, volunteers twice a week in the zoo’s photography/videography department. She lugged the box along on her next volunteer day and gave it to Michael Durham, manager of the zoo’s image library. In recent weeks, he has picked through envelopes of negatives, prints and slides, scanning the best into his computer and adding them to the zoo’s digital files. The files reveal a cast of quirky characters who worked at the zoo during an era when the nation
was racially segregated, the space race was on and turning wild animals into captive specimens was widely accepted. Little science was available to guide zookeepers through an elephant’s pregnancy and delivery. “They were figuring this out as they went along,” says Davidson, who combs through the files during her shifts. Notes and stories provide insight into Jack Marks, the zoo director of that era, Matthew Maberry, then zoo veterinarian, and Morgan Berry, the elephant importer and trainer who supplied the zoo its original Asian elephant herd. Richards’ files also hold a letter from Don Clark, manager of the Seattle-based Northwest Hardwood Association, to Tom McCurdy of Portland’s Pacific Reforestation Inc.: “Is it possible,” Clark asked, “the Portland Zoo might allow Thonglaw (a bull elephant) to be used for experimental logging in the vicinity of Portland?”
The Riverhouse Hotel & Convention Center would like to thank the visitor industry and Central Oregon Visitors’ Association and their staff for their continued commitment to the Gala. Our sincere thank you, also, to all of the attendees for your generosity and spirit of giving. Please join us next year at the 19th Annual Gala at The Riverhouse benefiting Sparrow Clubs.

B4 Sunday, January 31, 2010 • THE BULLETIN
Bend teachers apply to go on space mission 25 years ago 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 30, 1910 CROOKED METHODS ARE CONDEMNED The promoters of Hillman townsite are in trouble. Gross misrepresentation in advertising and intent to deceive the public are the causes of their difficulty. A prospectus issued by the promoters contains many views, which are labeled as being “Near Hillman,” when in fact the scenes from which the photos were taken are many miles from Hillman, in some instances not even in the county. As a result of this misrepresentation, many people have been induced to invest their money in Hillman lots with the expectation of getting big returns, when it is very doubtful if they will ever realize anything from their investment. One example of the fraud is a view of the Deschutes River in front of the A.M. Drake residence in Bend, said view being labeled “Irrigation Canal Near Hillman.” The Deschutes ought to make a pretty fair irrigation canal, hadn’t it? Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald of Portland will lay the matter before the grand jury. Postal inspectors will also investigate the matter because it is believed that the fraud order can be applied and if the charges are proved, Cooper & Taylor, the promoters, would be ejected from the real estate association. The coming development will open up many opportunities for legitimate investments, and many prominent Crook County men want to put a stop to this fraud. It is a move to keep clean Crook County’s reputation before the world. The Portland Telegram has started a campaign against the promoters tactics and has this to say: “On the front page of the pamphlet appears the caption, ‘Hillman, Leading City, Deschutes Valley in Central Oregon.’ Many of the people purchasing have been led to believe that Hillman is already a city, as this caption indicated. In fact, Hillman is nothing but a barren, sterile tract with no town or other evidence of development prior to the scant attention given by the promoters. “The first photographs in the pamphlet show a beautiful valley scene, with a stately snow-capped mountain behind and a broad grain field. On either side are the words ‘Hillman’ in large letters, which the reader construes to mean that the surveyed and platted tract, with cottages and trees, is the Hillman townsite. The grain field, with ties for a railway laid through it, is labeled ‘Showing Grade Through Country North of Hillman.’ Men familiar with the country believe the picture was taken somewhere along the Columbia Southern line, perhaps 80 or 100 miles from Hillman. There were many other fraudulent pictures. (Note to readers: Largely because of this scam, the Hillman name was removed, and now the town is called Terrebonne).
75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 30, 1935 ADVERTISEMENT Already the year’s Sensation! The ELECTRIC HAND. Easier, safer driving ... You shift gears at the wheel ... floor all clear in front. “A great idea!” say thousands who are enjoying this brandnew driving experience — this
Y E S T E R D AY vastly better method of gear control — in 1935 Hudson-built cars. With the Electric Hand, you shift as you always have, yet never take your hands from the wheel. You can select in advance the gear you want to use next; the Electric Hand does the shifting. Crowds are flocking to see this “surprise feature.” It’s standard on Hudson Custom Eights and optional, for a small amount extra, on all other 1935 Hudsons and Terraplanes. And these cars offer many other things that are new. The first steel roof, Steel all around you, a steel floor beneath, steel overhead. Bendix Rotary-Equalized Brakes that stop you more quickly, more smoothly, in a short, straight line. Great performance made greater. But you will want to check for yourself. Come and see these cars. Look at the others, too. Compare. HUDSON AND TERRAPLANE — PILOT BUTTE INN GARAGE — 1173 WALL STREET — PHONE 700. DIONNES MAKING EFFORT TO CRAWL The Dionne quintuplets exhibited their first tendency to crawl today, eight months after their birth. Annette was leader in the new adventure. Dr. Allen Roy Dafoe, their physician, exhibited her trying to stand on her head, maintaining a shaky position on all fours, one foot in Sister Yvonne’s face. Yvonne thought it great sport. She chuckled and drooled. Annette lost her position and fell back in a prone position, shaking the crib. But she was at it again a minute later. Dr. Dafoe was delighted. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut teeth before another month passes,” he said. “Their hands are continually in their mouths.” He changed their diets some, recognizing that eight months made them quite big girls. Henceforth they’ll receive a half of a yolk of an egg daily, and a prepared vegetable or fruit pulp on alternate days in addition to orange and tomato juice, cod liver oil, milk and cereal.
50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 30, 1960 FLAMING SUNSET ON HIGH DESERT ONLY ONE OF MANY ATTRACTIONS OF PLATEAU COUNTRY (Editorial) Interest in the west for some time now has been swinging to sun-bathed deserts. Sandy shores of the Salton Sea in Southern California have been staked out for winter homes. New resort towns are taking shape under desert palms. Arizona and Nevada are becoming noted recreation states. New Mexico’s deserts are a new source of tourist appeal. Central Oregon has its own so-called “desert.” Some acreage for homes has been sold, but
generally the interior plateau, known to early mapmakers as the “Great Sandy Desert” has been overlooked. Yet the High Desert, touching parts of four counties, has its own particular appeal. It is an appeal unknown to the thousands who pass through Central Oregon in the vacation season. Bend, Redmond and Prineville should be interested in popularizing this appeal. It would mean more “tourist days” spent in the region. One approach to the problem of calling tourists’ attention to attractions of the High Desert would be seasonal displays of desert plants, trees and grasses. Consider the juniper: In the huge triangle between Bend, Alfalfa and Sisters is a stand of western junipers said to be the largest in the world. Or consider the various species of sage, the varied herbs, the desert grasses. The late Robert W. Sawyer of Bend was one of the first to recognize the interest of visitors in desert plants. In his front yard on Drake Road, he developed a miniature “high desert.” Plants are only a part of the story. Behind the geology of the area, dominated by Hampton Buttes, is one of the northwest’s most captivating stories. Long ago, a redwood forest flourished in the region, before the land was elevated into a plateau. Volcanos spilled their lavas over the old lands. Rivers slashed canyons across the terrain. Animal life is abundant. The wily coyote stalks through the sage, several types of hawks sail over the area, antelope range up from the south, deer come out of the pines, porcupines wander across highways. Jackrabbits hop everywhere. Margaret Ormandy visited and in a letter to The Bulletin described a plateau sunset: “ ... I was not prepared for the flaming spread of color from one end of the sky to the other, for the broad reaches of crimson and saffron and orange engulfing the earth, for the pine trees standing black against a scarlet sky.” Margaret Ormandy has “discovered” our High Desert. Her joy in observing a flaming sunset should impress on Central Oregonians that they have more to “sell” tourists than Cascade skylines, skiing, fishing and camping. They have their little known High Desert.

Both men are applying to fly on a space shuttle mission, part of a promise by President Reagan to designate a classroom teacher to go into space in early 1986. Deeks and Reynolds are the only teachers to indicate a strong interest in the mission so far. “Growing up in the Space Age, I’ve always been interested in space,” said Reynolds. “I decided to apply, even though it’s a long shot. “I always tell the kids, ‘No goal is out of reach.’ They reminded me of that.” Deeks said applying for the shuttle mission is a “natural outgrowth of my hobbies.” “I’ve always had an interest in aircraft and in space,” he said. “For four years I was a pilot in the Air Force. And I’m an avid model builder.” Part of the application asked the men to propose an experiment to conduct aboard the shuttle. Reynolds has drawn up a twopart project that includes holding a telecommunications conference from space with schools across the United States. Upon returning to Earth, he plans to develop a multimedia presentation that would simulate his entire training and flight program. Deeks has proposed building a mock shuttle that could be transported to schools across the country. Seen through the windows of the shuttle would be actual space footage or a computer simulation. The project would allow students to go through the checklist of procedures astronauts must follow. After two teachers are picked from each state April 30, 10 national finalists will be chosen July 4. The teacher selected for the shuttle, and at least one alternate, will be named in September. Compiled by Don Hoiness from archived copies of The Bulletin at the Des Chutes Historical Museum.

Lou Dial rides his three-wheeled motorcycle during a club ride in San Diego. Dial is among a growing group of aging motorcyclists taking up trikes: three-wheeled motorcycles that provide stability and nearly all the comforts of a car while still allowing riders to feel the wind in their face.
Aging bikers taking to the motorways astride beefy trikes By Daisy Nguyen The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Arthur McCoy didn’t let the amputation of a leg because of cancer stop him from riding motorcycles. The solution to his disability came in the form of a third wheel. McCoy is among a growing group of aging motorcyclists taking up trikes: three-wheeled motorcycles that provide the stability and nearly all the comforts of a car while still allowing riders to feel the wind in their face. “For us older folks, it’s better on three wheels than two,” said McCoy, now retired from a maintenance job. “You don’t have the tendency to fall over.” A motorcycle rider since the 1960s, the 71-year-old from Lomita, Calif., said his customized trike has made it possible for him and his wife, Dora, to go on long-haul trips to Arizona, Texas, Arkansas and Virginia at least once a month. They are members of Brothers of the
Third Wheel, an international club for trike enthusiasts. Motorcycle industry experts say they expect to see more trikes on the road in the coming years as baby boomers, the largest group of motorcycle owners in the country, age out of their two-wheelers. “Boomers are a very important segment of the motorcycle market,” said Ty Van Hooydonk, a spokesman for the Motorcycle Industry Council. “They are staying more active than past generations.” People born between 1946 and 1964 make up 43 percent of motorcycle owners in the U.S., or 4.5 million out of 10.4 million, according to a 2008 survey by the Irvine, Calif.-based trade group. Trikes allow riders with arthritis, back pain and other physical ailments to go on longdistance rides comfortably. Some come with reverse gears so riders don’t have to push the motorcycles into a parking space.

Alfred Leon ‘Short’ Roberts went to be with the Lord Monday, January 25, in his home in Redmond, Oregon, passing away of natural causes. Born to Alfred and Alta M. Wright Roberts on July 9, 1925, ‘Short’ was given his nickname by Alfred ‘Short’ his family Roberts because he was the first of six children and was the little ‘Shorty’ running around. The name stuck his whole life, almost everyone that knew him called him ‘Short’. He grew up and worked in the Roseburg area until he joined the Marines in 1943. He served in the first Marine Second Division during WWII in the South Pacific invasion as a heavy equipment operator. He received a purple heart for being wounded in the line of duty. After being honorably discharged from the service in 1946, he came back to Oregon where he worked as a logger in Oregon and California. He married Alta B. (Moon)Terrell on September 3, 1966, and became an instant father to Alta’s three teenage girls. On June 4, 1971, Short and Alta were blessed with a daughter, Mary. In 1976, Short and his family moved to Fort Rock Oregon and started a cattle and alfalfa ranch. He lived there with his wife for 32 years until they moved to Redmond, Oregon in 2008, due to Short’s ongoing medical issues. He is survived by his wife, Alta; daughters, LaRayne Kayfes, Fran Adams and her husband, Mark, and Mary Nash and her husband, Jeff. Short and Alta have been blessed with nine grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren (more on the way) and many step-grandchildren, as well. He found so much joy in his family and he will be Greatly Missed . Short renewed his relationship with the Lord in the last few years of his life bringing him much peace during the last months of his illness. We are all happy knowing that he is whole again. Short loved to hunt and fish with family and friends, teaching many of the grandkids and great-grandkids hunting safety and fishing strategies. A highlight of visiting Short, was listening to his fantastic stories filled with “colorful commentary”. He had seen and done so much in his life that listening to him was a page of history. Even if you had heard the story a 1000 times, and could repeat it right along with him, it was still a treat to hear it again. He was preceded in death by his brother, Kenny; sister, Lucille; daughter, Karyn; and great-grandson, Ryan. It’s been awhile since they got to hear a good ‘Short’ story and I’m sure they are having a great time now. A full military service will be held at a later date this spring. Contributions may be made to the Redmond/Sisters Hospice for their outstanding care and support.

James Quello a champion of broadcast TV The Washington Post James Quello, 95, a champion of broadcast television during his 23 years on the Federal Communications Commission, died of heart and kidney disease Jan. 24 at his home in Alexandria, Va. Quello, a Detroit broadcasting executive appointed by President Richard Nixon in 1974, was one of the federal government’s top regulators during the unprecedented boom that brought new telecommunications options to the American public. He was the acting chairman in 1993 when the FCC imposed rate regulations on cable companies. During those 10 months, the commission lifted a long-standing restriction on TV networks from entering the market for reruns and syndication, set ground rules for the first auction of the nation’s airwaves, and cleared the way for new wireless phone and two-way data services.
Jane Jarvis made music for the New York Mets New York Times News Service Jane Jarvis, who brought a jazz sensibility to unlikely places as an organist for the New York Mets and a programmer for Muzak, died Monday at the Lillian Booth Actors’ Home in Englewood, N.J. She was 94. Jarvis’ career was bracketed by jazz, which she considered her first love: She formed a jazz band in her native Indiana as a teenager, and she worked steadily as a jazz pianist, mostly in New York, from her mid60s into her 90s. But for more than two decades she was best known as a ballpark organist. After eight years playing for the Braves at County Stadium in Milwaukee, she was a fixture at Shea Stadium from 1964 to 1979, performing a repertory that mixed jazz staples like Charlie Parker’s “Scrapple From the Apple” with more conventional fare like “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Few Mets fans knew that Jarvis had begun her career as a jazz pianist. Even fewer knew that she had a day job with the Muzak Corp. Muzak was synonymous with soothing sounds piped into elevators when Jarvis was hired for a clerical job there in 1963, not long after she moved to New York and roughly a year before she joined the Mets. She worked her way up to vice president in charge of programming and recording. She then hired Lionel Hampton, Clark Terry and other jazz musicians. The result was canned music considerably more swinging than the Muzak norm.

Louis Auchincloss, pictured here in 1985, wrote more than 60 books of fiction, criticism and biography, the best-known of which dealt with the “comfortable” world.
Louis Auchincloss chronicled upper crust of New York By Holcomb B. Noble and Charles McGrath New York Times News Service
NEW YORK — Louis Auchincloss, a Wall Street lawyer from a prominent old New York family who became a durable and prolific chronicler of Manhattan’s old-money elite, died Tuesday in Manhattan. He was 92. His death, at Lenox Hill Hospital, was caused by complications of a stroke, his son Andrew said. Although he practiced law full time until 1987, Auchincloss published more than 60 books of fiction, biography and literary criticism in a writing career of more than a halfcentury. He was best known for his dozens and dozens of novels about what he called the “comfortable” world, which in the 1930s meant “an apartment or brownstone in town, a house in the country, having five or six maids, two or three cars, several clubs and one’s children in private schools.” This was the world he came from, and its customs and secrets were his subject from the beginning. He persisted in writing about it, fondly but also trenchantly, long after that world had begun to vanish.
‘Old Guard’ Auchincloss’ last book, published in 2008, was “The Last of the Old Guard,” and though it was set at the turn of the 20th century, the title in many ways fit the author himself. Auchincloss had a beaky, patrician nose and spoke with a high-pitched Brahmin accent. He had elegant manners and suits to match, and he wrote in longhand in the living room of an antiques-filled apartment on Park Avenue. Admirers compared him with other novelists of society and manners like William Dean Howells, but Auchincloss’ greatest influence was probably Edith Wharton, whose biography he wrote and with whom he felt a direct connection. His grandmother had summered with Wharton in Newport, R.I.; his parents were friends of Wharton’s lawyers. He almost felt he knew Wharton personally, Auchincloss once said. Like Wharton, Auchincloss was interested in class and morality and in the corrosive effects of money on both. “Of all our novelists, Auchincloss is the only one who tells us

how our rulers behave in their banks and their boardrooms, their law offices and their clubs,” Gore Vidal once wrote. “Not since Dreiser has an American writer had so much to tell us about the role of money in our lives.” His detractors complained that Auchincloss’ writing was glib and superficial, or that his subject matter was too dated to be of much interest. Writing in The New York Times in 1984, Michiko Kakutani said that while Auchincloss “is adept enough at portraying the effects of a rarefied milieu on character, his narrative lacks a necessary density and texture.”
Society life “Class prejudice” was Auchincloss’ response to his critics. “That business of objecting to the subject material or the people that an author writes about is purely class prejudice,” he said in an interview in 1997, “and you will note that it always disappears with an author’s death. Nobody holds it against Henry James or Edith Wharton or Thackeray or Marcel Proust.” Louis Stanton Auchincloss was born on Sept. 27, 1917, in Lawrence, on Long Island, joining an upper-crust clan of Auchinclosses, Dixons, Howlands and Stantons. Since 1803, when Hugh Auchincloss left Paisley, Scotland, to establish a New York branch of the family dry-goods business, the families all lived in Manhattan — all with money, all with high social positions. Louis was the third of four children of Priscilla Stanton and Joseph Howland Auchincloss, who, like his father, was a Wall Street lawyer; he was also a third cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Louis was a cousin by marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who worked with him when she was a book editor later in life.) His wife, Adele Lawrence Auchincloss, an artist, environmentalist and former deputy administrator of the New York City Parks and Recreation Department, died in 1991. Besides his son Andrew, of Manhattan, he is survived by two other sons, John, of Weston, Conn., and Blake, of Hingham, Mass; a brother, Howland, of Cazenovia, N.Y.; and seven grandchildren.

Bend Continued from B1 “The general fund is a main priority, and 80 percent of that goes to funding our police and fire departments. … That’s going to be a priority on how we fund those two departments because they’re such a huge part of the general fund,” she said. City officials have suggested annexing the city into Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District No. 2, which would take pressure off the general fund budget and provide the fire department with its own revenue source. If voters approved the idea, Bend residents would see their property tax rates increase by 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or about $28 per year for a home assessed at $200,000. Officials are currently suggesting that the increase would begin in July 2011, at the start of the 201112 fiscal year. Eckman said she’d also like to see the city make progress on its plans to incorporate Bend Area Transit into a regional system and make accessibility improvements required by two legal settlements. Fixing a growing silt buildup problem in Mirror Pond should also be on the
Ski Continued from B1 Volunteer Barb Smith said her 32 years as a physical education teacher only partially prepared her for learning how to teach blind skiers. With visual demonstrations useless, you have to rethink your instructional methods, she said, relying heavily on descriptions of how skiing ought to feel. Meeting Stevens “opened my world up,” Smith said, revealing a new way for her to work with people like she had when she was teaching. “You can’t really turn that off after you retire,” Smith said. “I like to pay it forward.” Sarah Romish said she was motivated to learn how to teach skiing to the blind by her work with disabled people at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, and her own experiences growing up with a brother who was born deaf and lost his sight when he was 16.

agenda, she said. City Manager Eric King said the annual goal-setting session is just the beginning of an ongoing process that will require more updates as the year goes on. All of the planning, he said, has to be done with the city’s financial situation in mind. “We have to make sure when we develop goals, aspirational projects, that they’re within the resources we’ve got,” he said. “Right now, the community expects us to be going through a very rigourous process to help get this community in a better place than it is.” Erin Golden can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at egolden@bendbulletin.com.
Disabilities can be isolating, Romish said, and the social benefits of regular activity are often every bit as important as the physical ones for disabled people. “Just because you have a disability shouldn’t slow you down,” she said. “I think I’ve learned more from the adaptive people at work than the ablebodied; they just have such a great spirit.” Donna Barton said getting to ski with her eyes closed Saturday was a good refresher for her, a reminder of how skiing feels and how it might be explained to a student who cannot see. Barton said it’s been about 15 years since she last worked as a ski instructor, and that she’s looking forward to taking blind students out for a lesson. “If there’s more people I can get out on skis, all the better,” she said.

O B 1 dead in Portland police confrontation
Oregon ranks fourth in new wind capacity
PORTLAND — Portland police say a man who apparently took a woman and two children hostage has been fatally shot. Neighbors told The Oregonian that police took the woman and children to safety before the shooting Friday afternoon. Detective Mary Wheat says police made contact with the man, shots were fired, and the man died outside a northeast Portland apartment. She would not confirm whether he shot himself or was shot by officers. Wheat says dispatchers got word that a man with a gun was holding hostages at the Sandy Terrace Apartments and was threatening suicide.
PORTLAND — A new report shows that Oregon added more wind turbines than all but three other states last year. The American Wind Energy Association said in its Year End 2009 Market Report that developers installed 691 megawatts worth of wind towers last year in Oregon. Texas was the national leader, adding 2,292 megawatts. One megawatt of wind capacity is enough to supply from 225 to 300 homes. For wind capacity already installed, Oregon ranks sixth with a total of 1,758 megawatts. — From wire reports

E-waste Continued from B1 And so far this year, electronics recycling doesn’t seem to have slowed down, he said, perhaps because of the attention surrounding the ban on putting the old machines in landfills. Statewide, there probably won’t be a slowdown in electronics recycling either. The DEQ estimates that in 2010, people will recycle 21 million pounds of televisions and computers. “I think it’s going to take awhile for the volume to get cleared out of garages and back rooms,” Kiwala said, noting that people are also replacing electronics frequent-

ly, creating a steady stream of devices to be recycled. The program is paid for by companies that manufacture electronics, she said, and the material collected goes to six different recycling centers, where the electronics are broken down into different components, like plastic casing, glass tubes and circuit boards, and then recycled.

Bellingham’s golden chance to put itself on a pedestal By Tan Vinh The Seattle Times

Thomas the wooden, horse-headed barber chair smiles for the camera at the Metropolitan Barber Shop in downtown Bend on Thursday. The seat, made in Chicago in 1910, will celebrate its centennial birthday Saturday with haircuts, soda and lollipops for its clients 10 and younger.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Sandwiched between mountains and water, this college town is blessed with a heck of a front and backyard, one of Washington’s top cities for outdoor enthusiasts. The city itself? Well, a lot of outsiders tend to treat it more as a rest stop after swishing down Mount Baker or riding the mountain-biking mecca Galbraith Mountain. But Bellingham has been working to revitalize its downtown and draw more tourists, especially now that the Winter Olympics will start soon in Vancouver, B.C. Bellingham can point to TR AVE L about $30 million in new downtown cultural projNext week: ects: $18 million for a new Strawberry art museum, $9 million Mountains to refurbish the historic Mount Baker Theatre, and $3.2 million in public and private money for a new independent art-house cinema. Those projects, along with plans to add more public art and wider sidewalks, make up the heart of the “Cultural District” in downtown. See Bellingham / C4

Diner resents the rush when table is cleared
Never mind the Grammys; ‘Lost’ is back By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times
Dear Abby: When my partner and I eat at a restaurant, the server often clears my partner’s plate before I am finished. I am not a slow eater, but I generally finish after she does. When the server removes her plate, I’m left feeling like I have to rush to finish my meal and that our “shared dinner time” is over. Am I wrong to feel that it’s rude to take away the dishes before everyone at the table is done? As a hostess at home, I wait until the entire table is finished eating before I clear. On the other hand, just about every place where we eat out does this, so maybe I should get used to it. What do you think? — Sue in Gloucester, Mass. Dear Sue: Here in the United States, it is common for servers to take the empty plates from the table. In Europe, diners often linger over a meal, enjoying coffee — a liqueur, perhaps — and good conversation. How does your partner feel about having her plate cleared? If she would prefer that it remain while you finish your dinner, all she needs to do is say to the server, “Please leave it until Sue is done.” If she’s unwilling to do that, then I think you’ll have to get used to it. Dear Abby: My fiance died three years ago of cancer. He was only 27. His diagnosis was a shock, and he was gone from complications of treatment barely a month later. Prior to this, while planning our life together, I became close with his family. After his death, I don’t know what I’d have done if they hadn’t been there for me. Although many people sympathized, my almost-in-laws came closest to understanding my devastation and pain. Simply put, we helped each other through it. We remain close to this day. I spend time with his mom and sisters, am invited to birthday dinners and holidays, and we get together on his birthday and the anniversary of his passing.
DEAR ABBY Is this OK? Is it normal? When people hear that we’re still so close, I have had reactions from, “That’s wonderful!” to “You’re holding onto the past.” Although there are still some tears, there is now more laughter when we share memories. And I have begun dating again. I don’t feel that by preserving our relationship we are stuck in the past. Do you? — Doubting in Walnut Creek, Calif. Dear Doubting: There are degrees of involvement. You came very close to being an official member of that family, but fate thought otherwise. Whether your ties remain as tight when you fall in love again remains to be seen. But for now, you are all meeting each other’s needs — and as long as it doesn’t hold you back, it’s all right with me. Dear Abby: My husband and I married four years ago. My oldest daughter dates my husband’s brother and they’re expecting a baby together, although they are not married. Can you please tell me what this child should call me, my husband and our other children? We’re confused about it and don’t want the child to be confused about who’s who. Any help you can offer on this will be greatly appreciated. — Tami in Pennsylvania Dear Tami: You are the baby’s biological grandmother, and your husband is the baby’s biological uncle and step-grandfather. Your children are going to be aunts or uncles. Congratulations to all of you.

RUSSEL Russel was surrendered to us because his previous owner is going through a divorce and can no longer keep him. He is a 4.5 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He is a bit timid at first, but when he warms up he is very playful and energetic. Russel has never been around smaller children and needs a home without children under the age of 12yrs. Due to his breed; we recommend that you do your research before adopting him. Jack Russell’s are known to be very energetic dogs and a home with breed experience would be beneficial for him. He will also need a home with no cats.

Bellingham Continued from C1
An eye on arts Like many cities across the country, Bellingham has made building an ambitious art museum a priority. In this recession, though, about a dozen cities have suspended, abandoned or scaled back those plans, such as the Parrish Art Museum in Southhampton, N.Y., and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California. Bellingham, however, completed its architectural showcase, Lightcatcher, an art museum featuring a 180-foot-long translucent facade that reflects sunlight. It opened in November. To community and business leaders, Lightcatcher signals that Bellingham wants to be known as more than just a midsize city (70,000 people) with a big playground for hikers and bikers. “Bellingham has grown up,” said Patricia Leach, the executive director of Whatcom Museum. Nearby, the Mount Baker Theatre has completed two major renovations to handle 300 annual shows instead of the heretofore-customary 65. Recently, Seattle Theatre Group, which organizes shows at the Paramount Theatre and the Moore Theatre in Seattle, has started hosting shows in the 83-year-old theater. Comedian Paula Poundstone is booked for February. As early as next summer, downtown will also have a twoscreen independent art-house cinema, Pickford Film Center, which will sell beer and wine. Pickford already runs a modest art house. But it has sold out enough shows that the nonprofit has purchased a three-story, century-old building nearby for the purpose of relocating and expanding. So far, fundraising has brought in $2.7 million of the $3.2 million needed to complete renovation. These cultural projects are intended to inject some life into a downtown that has been reeling from a common urban problem: the exodus of chain department stores and small businesses. But with Western Washington University about two miles south of downtown, many community leaders believe they have the audience for their cultural offerings. “I think downtown is developing into the cultural center for Whatcom County. Western (Washington University) is a great audience for that — the students, professors, visiting professors, alumni. We have a great community,” said Kirsten Walker, the executive director of the Downtown Bellingham Partnership. Bellingham also believes it has inherent geographical advantages as a major Interstate 5 population center about equal 90-minute drives from Vancouver and Seattle. The city and Whatcom County have kicked up promotional campaigns to get Olympic spectators to visit.
New reasons to visit Bellingham certainly isn’t unknown as a tourist destination. But out-of-towners usually know the city for its trendy, historic Fairhaven District, the grand Victorian homes nearby and the scenic Chuckanut Drive on the south side of town. Community and business leaders hope Lightcatcher and other downtown developments can lure those same tourists to drive the 10 minutes to downtown. Lightcatcher, which will borrow artwork from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., for some exhibits, allows the city to reshuffle its museum lineup. The Old City Hall, for-

downtown building overlooking Bellingham Bay and the city. It offers sophisticated cocktails and multicourse dinners. But Bellingham is known more for cheap eats and beer, the familiar trappings of a college town. Two summers ago, Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen opened, snatching up a few brewery awards. It’s located near a Bellingham institution, the hipster Old Town Cafe, where your eggs Benedict over homemade biscuits comes with live music, usually a guitar player in the morning. There’s the popular Super Mario’s Salvadoran taco truck and Pel’ Meni, a Russian dumpling joint that stays open until 2:30 a.m. for the bar-hopping crowd. The best of the cheap grub is probably Casa Que Pasa’s potato burrito, stuffed with mounds of deep-fried potato skin and seasoned potato bits, and slathered with a garlicky sauce. It’s practically impossible to chat with locals and students and not hear them wax poetic about this “legendary potato burrito.” It tastes like the Spanish tapas, patatas bravas, wrapped in a flour tortilla. The taco truck, the dumpling joint and Casa Que Pasa may all be more in tune with Bellingham’s college kids, mountain bikers and snowboarders than with high-spending, Olympicsbound tourists. But anybody can appreciate a good potato burrito.

Eat and drink For a break in between, stop by Mallard Ice Cream and Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro, two must-stops for downtown firsttimers. Mallard makes the ambitious and exotic gourmet ice cream (pinot noir flavor, for example) you usually find in major metropolises. Even during the dead of winter, the shop draws lots of customers. During summer, the line can get long, especially when all the weekend warriors come to town. Boundary Bay is one of the region’s best breweries, and its IPA, a light hop with nice floral notes, is arguably the most popular beer in town.

Next door, the Syre Education Center will focus on natural history and Native American culture, and house classrooms for student projects and field trips. Those two museums reopened in mid-January after renovations. The town’s popular children’s museum has moved into a wing of the Lightcatcher, called Family Interactive Gallery, with animation dioramas, 3-D images and art games. Nearby sit two of the region’s geekiest museums: the American Museum of Radio and Electricity (AMRE) and a science museum, Mindport. As if there was any doubt, AMRE staffer Tana Granack jumped, giggled and hugged the museum’s historian recently
upon hearing that his museum made the book “The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive.” AMRE owns one of the first light bulbs Thomas Edison made in 1879, and thousands of old radios, rare music boxes, antique phonographs and telephones. To the untrained eye, the room looks like your grandfather’s basement. The museum only comes alive when Granack or one of the radio geeks leads a tour or tells stories behind those antiques. Around the corner is the little science museum Mindport, similar in theme to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland or the Exploratorium in San Francisco, only much more modest. The two-room museum, more like an art-gallery space, features science projects and

In New Zealand, a long road to world-class fly-fishing By Morgan McGinley New York Times News Service
In Gore, a town of 12,500 on the South Island of New Zealand, street signs proclaim that the visitor has arrived in the world capital of brown trout. To reinforce the point, town officials have erected a huge sculpture of the fish in a grassy park halfway between the town’s bustling main business street and the Mataura River, a world-famous brown trout stream a quarter-mile away. The wide street’s nondescript 1950s buildings contain dozens of stores, fruit and vegetable stands, and restaurants. Tourists from Australia, the United States and Europe arrive regularly by bus, and guides and fishermen stroll the streets in fly-fishing garb. There’s no mistaking that this is a world-class fly-fishing destination. The Mataura extends for an impressive 140 miles of trout water in the heart of sheep and dairy country. Getting to an access point for the water sometimes involves moving a flock or herd out of the way. Tom McLoughlin, the captain of a saltwater sport-fishing
boat in Mystic, Conn., who fishes the Mataura in the New Zealand summers, rousted the livestock with a beat-up Nissan sedan. I watched this performance last February as we slowly made our way in the Nissan, stuffed with fly rods, reels, waders, boots, drink coolers, and fly boxes and vests. Tom honked and drove into the herd, and the cows, expressing their displeasure, mooed and grumbled their way aside. The Mataura, when we got to it, was worth the trouble — a wide river of beautiful glides and runs that allows long, drag-free drifts of dry flies, the kind that float on the surface. The numbers of anglers casting on the New Zealand streams we fished were far fewer than we had experienced on comparable streams in Montana or Idaho. Only superb fishing could justify the 22 hours of flights that had taken us from Boston to San Francisco, to Auckland, Christchurch and then to Invercargill. New Zealand, the size of Colorado, ranks among the world’s great trout destinations, and its trout are stream-born wild fish
that are selective in taking flies, make high leaps out of the water and run spectacularly when hooked. Most tourists fishing these waters will catch at least one 3pound trout a day, according to McLoughlin, and fishermen will frequently catch 17- to 19-inch fish. Some streams contain trout that average 5 to 7 pounds, said Ron Granneman, a retired guide from the Bighorn River in Montana, who fishes New Zealand in the summer. New Zealand began importing brown trout from Germany, France and England in the 1860s, and they thrived. So did rainbow trout, brought in later from the Russian River in California. But brown trout dominate on South Island, and browns are the greater challenge. Many fly fishermen consider them the most difficult to catch of all trout. Fish are not, of course, the only reason to visit the alpine country of the South Island. The region also attracts hikers, mountain climbers, kayakers and photographers. The highest peak, Mount Cook, is more than 12,000 feet,
and gin-clear streams cascade down to river valleys. The views are spectacular, and the sunrises in the big sky are like those of the American West, bursting with color. The country itself is tough on the body. The Mataura’s banks grow heavy with thick grass that hides where the banks end and sometimes sent us slipping into pasture holes. Thistle so prickly it can puncture fingers and even pierce tiny holes in fishing waders was everywhere. I quickly learned that the fishing was not easy. In fact, because of rain and rising, discolored water, I caught fewer than eight fish the first two days. Curt Nelson, a retired engineer from Gales Ferry, Conn., who has made lengthy trips to South Island for 15 years, said he would not recommend going there to fish for less than three weeks. Because of frequent rains, the rivers flood. “You may be wiped out for a week,” he said. His warning, delivered back in Connecticut, proved prophetic. We had rains for four of the 10 days spent fishing there.
Where Buyers And Sellers Meet Bend resident Lucy Halverson, 83, says she sat in the Thomas the horse barbershop seat to get haircuts when she was a kid. “My two sons sat on this,” Halverson said. Halverson is seen with Thomas at the Metropolitan Barber Shop in downtown Bend on Thursday.
Thomas Continued from C1 The number of kids who have had their first haircuts astride Thomas is likely in the thousands, says Whitton, whose father-in-law, Bob McBride, purchased the barbershop 2½ years ago. Thomas has been reupholstered at least once, says Whitton, who isn’t sure if Thomas’ rich dark coat has ever seen a touch up. Formerly known as “Blacky,” the chair was rechristened “Thomas” by Whitton’s son, Chase, 6, with Whitton’s blessing. Whitton has been cutting hair for 13 years, and has seen young customers of all sorts, from compliant kids to the ones who put up a resistance. “We’ve seen it all,” Whitton says. “We’ve actually had a barber go down from the horse. Their feet can kind of flop and just — right in the sweet spot.” Kids make up about 10 percent of the clientele. The experience of cutting young children’s hair is “about 50-50. It’s either going to be a great experience or a complete nightmare,” Whitton says. When they have young customers, barbers at Metropolitan take turns cutting their hair. However, “We have an old-timer who won’t cut kids’ hair. He just refuses,” Whitton says, laughing. Thomas does help rein in the customers, says Whitton. “Anything novel (helps). It’s funny; kids don’t want a haircut, and then they sit and they look at the horse and they see other kids do it, and they say, ‘OK, I’ll give it a shot.’” The first barber shop to stand in this spot on Wall Street was the Pioneer Barber Shop, established by Creed Triplett, according to a series of historical photographs and placards on the wall of the Metropolitan. That location was destroyed by fire in
Thwarted by rain on the third day, we drove about 100 miles north to Queenstown, where sunny skies promoted breathtaking views of the blue-green waters of Lake Wakatipu, with the Franklin Mountains beyond. The city is near Milford Track, considered one of the most beautiful hikes in the world. Hundreds of young people were arriving to hike or bungee jump off the nearby hillsides, so Queenstown had a festive atmosphere. The town has a touristy feel, full of expensive shops and feed-them-fast restaurants, but overfilled with roast lamb for several days back in Gore, we opted here for pizza and beer. The next day, when we returned to the river, McLoughlin, the Connecticut boat captain, got serious
about teaching me the fishing etiquette expected by Kiwis. He led me on a progressively arduous assault on pasture gates and barbed wire. Never, he cautioned, enter a paddock (or pasture) without first meeting the farmer and asking permission. Farmers and other landowners are generally hospitable and usually allow well-mannered fishermen access to rivers and streams, he said. But do not fail to close a gate, lest livestock get out. Finally, ask the local landowner if he or she would like a trout for tea (dinner) if you catch one. On my last night in New Zealand, trout were rising to the surface all around us, feeding on a heavy hatch of small brown mayflies, and I dreamed of trout that night. I knew I would return to the South Island.

1912. Triplett relocated the Pioneer to nearby Oregon Avenue, and later sold it to a new owner, who renamed it the Metropolitan Barber Shop. In 1923, it moved to its present location, and, according to the placards, is the oldest ongoing business in downtown Bend. When The Bulletin visited the barbershop Monday, Lucy Halverson, 83, was talking to Whitton. “My father came in 1929,” Halverson says. Her uncle, Roy Slate, and his brother Joe were the first two owners of The Metropolitan, she says, and her uncle Roy likely encouraged her father to move to Bend for mill work. “My two sons sat on this,” says Halverson. Younger son Bruce is 54 today; her older son, Bill, passed away. Halverson stopped in after hearing about Thomas’ birthday party, and wanted to understand how the horse came to be 13 years older
than the shop itself. People have offered to buy Thomas, Whitton says. A previous owner — Whitton’s fatherin-law is the fifth owner, he says — was offered a large sum to sell it, according to Whitton. “He wanted to buy a motorcycle, and the guy brought in 5,000 bucks, cash. ‘You can buy your motorcycle if you sell the horse,’” Whitton says. “He kept the horse, thank God.” “I’m glad, too,” Halverson says. Does Thomas have a selling price? “You name a price,” Whitton says, before adding, “No, no, we wouldn’t sell it.” “You wouldn’t sell it,” Halverson says. “No, we couldn’t. There’s no way we could.” David Jasper can be reached at 541-383-0349 or at djasper@bendbulletin.com.

Working women in happy unions By Tara Parker-Pope New York Times News Service
Ever since the feminist Betty Friedan urged women to leave the house and pursue careers, people have argued over whether women’s marriages and romantic prospects would suffer for it. Was a financially successful woman a threat to her husband or a relief? A recent report from the Pew Research Center about what it called “the rise of wives” revived the debate. Based on a study of census data, Pew found that in nearly a third of marriages, the wife is better educated than her husband. And though men, overall, still earn more than women, wives are now the primary breadwinner in 22 percent of couples, up from 7 percent in 1970. While the changing economic roles of husbands and wives may take some getting used to, the shift has had a surprising effect on marital stability. Overall, the evidence shows that the shifts within marriages — men taking on more housework and women earning more outside the home — have had a positive effect, contributing to lower divorce rates and happier unions. “Women no longer need to marry up educationally or economically, so they are more likely to pick men who support a more egalitarian relationship,” said Stephanie Coontz, the director of research and education for the Council on Contemporary Families and author of “Marriage, A History: How Love Conquered Marriage.” She pointed to herself as an example. “In my marriage, I have more education and, because he’s retired, more income,” she said. “I picked him not because I needed a meal ticket, but because I liked
the fact that he respected me and had no problem sharing the responsibilities of daily life with me. More and more women now are able to make those choices.” The changing roles in marriage often aren’t what many couples plan, but instead are a reaction to unexpected financial pressures. That’s what happened to Cynthia and Brian Walder, of West Springfield, Mass., who had four children in five years. Although her first and second pregnancies were carefully planned, a surprise set of twin boys meant that their day care costs would be prohibitive if both parents kept their jobs. “Someone had to leave their job and stay home,” said Cynthia Walder, who is 34. Her marketing job with an insurance firm provided the family’s health benefits, so about a year ago, Brian Walder, a 36year-old real estate broker and consultant, opted to stay home. “It was stressful,” he said. “If you’d asked me five years ago, would I be in this spot, I’d say, ‘No way.’” While it’s widely believed that a woman’s financial independence increases her risk for divorce, divorce rates in the United States tell a different story: They have fallen as women have made economic gains. The rate peaked at 23 divorces per 1,000 couples in the late 1970s, but has since dropped to fewer than 17 divorces per 1,000 couples. Today, the statistics show that typically, the more economic independence and education a woman gains, the more likely she is to stay married. And in states where fewer wives have paid jobs, divorce rates tend to be higher, according to a 2009 report from the Center
for American Progress. Sociologists and economists say that financially independent women can be more selective in whom they marry, and they also have more negotiating power within the marriage. But it’s not just women who win. The net result tends to be a marriage that is more fair and equitable to both husbands and wives. The changes are not without their challenges. “With women taking on more earning and men taking on more caring, there’s a lot of shifting and juggling,” said Andrea Doucet, a professor of sociology at Carleton University in Ottawa. Her study, the Bread and Roses Project, tracks couples in the United States and Canada in which women are the primary breadwinners. But the dynamic is “not as easy as you’d think it would be,” she said. “You can’t just reverse the genders.” Men, for instance, sometimes have a hard time adjusting to a woman’s equal or greater earning power. Women, meanwhile, struggle with giving up their power at home and controlling tasks like how to dress the children or load the dishwasher. Linda Duxbury, a professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, recalls moments in her marriage when she was hesitant to give up control. “My husband would dress our daughter for school, and I’d say, ‘Oh my god, she looks like a clown,’” Duxbury recalled. “He would say, ‘That’s your hang-up. She’s happy in it. If you don’t like my choice, then you do it.’” She added, “In many ways, women are their own worst enemies — we want men to do it, but we want to tell them how they should do it.”

beyond your limits. Take a much-needed timeout. Tonight: Just make it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Make calls and catch up on someone’s news. You could be taken aback by what you hear.

Ringo Starr, forever a Beatle
SUDOKU SOLUTION
ANSWER TO TODAY’S JUMBLE
SUDOKU IS ON C7
JUMBLE IS ON C7
By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — The 69-year-old visitor to the downtown Grammy Museum strolled with fascination through its new exhibit of Alfred Wertheimer’s celebrated 1956 photos of Elvis Presley at 21, just as the impossibly handsome young singer was on the threshold of stardom. Like most other visitors taking in the remarkably unguarded photos, this bearded gentleman exhibited affection and appreciation for the black-and-white portraits of Presley’s quiet moments — lunching at a diner; teasing, and being teased, by a female fan — some of the last such moments he would enjoy before exploding as the biggest star in the pop music universe. But occasionally came an expression that none of the others wandering the gallery could offer: understanding. “The start of all our careers was quiet like that,” said Ringo Starr, the former Beatle enjoying a relatively quiet few minutes of his own, perusing the Presley photos before a Q&A session and performance a short time later. “We didn’t expect any problems, and then suddenly it gets wild — and it did.” Things are, of course, less wild today for Starr than they were 45 years ago when the Fab Four supplanted Elvis at the top of the pop heap. The world’s most famous drummer was a Beatle for eight years, and he’s been an ex-Beatle for five times that long now. But hardly a minute goes by when the topic doesn’t come up. After making his way through the photo display, Starr headed straight for the museum store in search of an Elvis T-shirt but quickly found himself faced with apparel bearing his own visage along with those of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Eventually, though, he found what he was after and slipped on the Presley shirt for his evening session, an event he took on in conjunction with the release last week of his latest album, “Y Not.”
All-Starr milestones It’s a milestone for him in a couple of respects: It’s the first time in his half-century career he’s taken the wheel as producer, in addition to singing, drumming and co-writing most of its songs. He’ll be singing some of those songs during his next All-Starr Band tour, during which he’ll become the first Beatle to turn 70, on July 7. Is 70 a big number? “No — not as big as 40 was,” he said, looking a good 15 years younger than you might expect. He’s trim — like McCartney and his late pal Harrison, he’s an avowed vegetarian — and outfitted in a black band-collar peacoat, black jeans and the everpresent dark glasses. His hair and beard are close-cropped, only a few wrinkles on his neck betraying his age. “Y Not” doesn’t vary greatly from the approach he’s taken through much of his solo career: lots of collaborations with highprofile musician friends, some lightweight rockers that give him the opportunity to exercise his well-honed chops behind the drum kit and a couple of meatier numbers that let the man of a thousand quips touch on the matters of the spirit that mean the most to him. “You can be serious in a good up way,” Starr said. “I think this record has captured where I’m trying to be musically and as a writer. My spirits are high.” As the years roll by, he said, “I think (spiritual issues) are more prominent.” On “Y Not,” that manifests in “Peace Dream,” which name checks Lennon and reiterates his message from “Imagine.” On 2008’s “Liverpool 8,” it showed up in the unflinchingly direct ballad “Love Is” and “R U Ready,” a country gospel rave up about the universality of spiritual yearning. “Being on this quest for a long time, it’s all about finding yourself,” Starr said. “For me, God is in my life. I don’t hide from that. … I think the search has been on since the ’60s. … I stepped off the path there for many years and found my way (back) onto it, thank God,” a reference to the wild days of rampant alcohol and drug use that ensued after the Beatles broke up, when Starr ran amok, often in the company of Lennon and singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. Van Dyke Parks, with whom he wrote the album’s first single, “Walk With You,” was also part of that circle at times. “Ringo and I survived Harry Nilsson, who’d introduced us,”
Gary Friedman / Los Angeles Times
Ringo Starr toured the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Jan. 19. Along with turning 70 in July, Starr is also celebrating his new album, “Y Not.” In the background is a photograph from the exhibit, “Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer”; Presley was hugely important to the former Beatle. Parks said last week. “So many acquaintances I reveled with in the lettuce years later sobered up and dropped me like a bad habit. Ringo is an exception. What a lad! He called and I spent an afternoon with him in hot pursuit of a transitive idea. It was fun.” It’s also yielded one of the album’s high points, “Walk With You,” a song expressing gratitude toward a loved one that is elevated further by an echoing harmony sung by McCartney. Starr had invited his other half in the Beatles rhythm section over to add a bass part to “Peace Dream.” “He understands my drumming,” Starr explained to
the Grammy Museum audience later from his perch on a stool at the front of the stage, adding with a straight face: “We used to play together.” “While he was at the house I played him some of the other tracks, and when he heard ‘Walk With You,’ he said, ‘Hey, I’ve got an idea for that.’ The great thing is that he doesn’t just sing harmony, he sort of answers my part,” he said, adding with a wizened laugh: “That’s why he’s the genius.” He doesn’t mind admitting that when it comes to music, he still gets by with more than a little help from his friends. So even though it’s possible today to
make music by way of e-mailed Pro Tools sound files sent across the globe and back, Starr says, “I have no interest in that sort of music. I like to be with musicians. I like hanging out with them, but I love playing with musicians.” On the verge of 70, that’s as true for Starr as it was at 20. “When I was in my early 20s and we were the opening act for this girl in England, her band (members) were like 40 years old,” he said. “I clearly remember thinking, ‘You’re still doing it? God!’” A broad smile comes over the famous face: “And here we are, we’re still doing it. Because this is what we do.”

The Summit boys handily won the Bend City Meet held at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center on Saturday afternoon, besting a host of area teams in what served as the last race before the district meet. The Storm, winners of the last two Class 5A state meets, took first place with 229 points, Bend finished second with 177 points, Madras was third with 67 points, and Mountain View finished fourth with 24. In the relay events, Summit proved nearly untouchable, winning the 200-yard medley relay and taking first and third place in the 400 freestyle relay, despite completing a tough early morning workout. In the name of state-meet preparation, Summit coach Amy Halligan had her team pull a double-day by scheduling a tough training session in Nic Morrell the morning before the citywide afternoon race. Next up “It’s a good mental • IMC District challenge to train in the Swim Meet morning and come back and race in the afternoon,” Hal- • When: Feb. ligan said, adding that often 12-13 at swimmers will have to swim Juniper Swim five different races on back& Fitness to-back days at the district Center, Bend and state meets. Senior Nic Morrell raced to first-place finishes in both the 200 individual medley and the 100 freestyle. Aidan Soles also had a strong day, according to Halligan. The freshman was on both winning relay teams and finished second in the 200 individual medley as well as the 100 butterfly. Halligan said she is “cautiously optimistic” about the Summit boys’ chance at winning a third consecutive state title. But first the Storm must survive the Intermountain Conference district meet, slated for Feb. 12 and 13 at the Juniper Swim & Fitness Center in Bend. On the girls side, the Lava Bears narrowly defeated Summit by five points, upsetting the typically dominant Storm, 183-178. Mountain View powered to third with 105 points, and was followed by Crook County with 31 points and Madras with seven. Making the difference for Bend were team captains Kylee Manning, champion of the 50 freestyle in 27.46 seconds, and Aubrie Lund, who took first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 1:00.51 by topping Summit’s Caitlyn Belza by four one-hundreths of a second. The two Bend High swimmers also helped propel the 400-yard freestyle relay team to victory in 4:10.89. Brooke Miller and Lindsay Miller rounded out the Lava Bears’ winning foursome. “The two solo wins were big for us,” said Bend coach Elizabeth Meskill. “Seniors Kylee and Aubrie led our team and really stepped it up. The entire girls team swam well, and at this point in the season we’re very strong.” Meskill predicted a true battle against Summit in the district meet. Although a few of Summit’s strongest swimmers were sidelined during Saturday’s meet, Meskill noted that Bend had a couple disqualified competitors as well. The Lava Bears also swam outside of their strongest events to stay fresh for district. “Either way it goes, it was great to end on a high note during our last regular meet,” Meskill said.

Shaun White competes during the men’s snowboard superpipe final round at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., on Friday. White won the event.
A skier from Ghana? Americans starring in biathlon and Nordic combined? Here’s a head start on some of the stories everybody will be buzzing about once the Vancouver Olympics begin. ——— The art of riding the halfpipe evolves quickly and lots of things have changed since the last Olympics, much of it driven by the increase in the height of the pipe from 18 to 22 feet. It has allowed riders to take bigger risks, mainly in the form of what’s known as a double-corkscrew, or double-cork jump, in which the rider goes up the wall and flips twice, head over feet, while doing any number of combinations of between one and 3½ spins. Up until about December, it appeared riders who could string two double-cork jumps together during a run would have the best chance of winning Olympic gold. And it appeared the world’s best, Shaun White, along with Louie Vito and a Swiss star named Iouri Podladtchikov — “I-Pod” — were among the very few who could do it. See Vancouver / D6

S B Olympics • Twins star Justin Morneau to carry torch: Twins star first baseman Justin Morneau has one more accomplishment to add to his ever-growing list of accolades. The Canadian will help carry the Olympic torch leading up to the Vancouver Games. Morneau grew up a die-hard hockey fan just outside of Vancouver. He has asserted himself as one of the best young players in baseball, winning the AL MVP award in 2006.
Winter sports • Italy’s Zoeggeler wins 9th World Cup luge title: Armin Zoeggeler of Italy clinched his ninth World Cup luge title on the track where he won gold at the 2006 Olympics. The two-time Olympic champion and prohibitive favorite for a third gold medal at the upcoming Vancouver Games finished two runs in a combined time of 1 minute, 43.115 seconds to record his 49th World Cup win, one shy of the record held by Austria’s Markus Prock. Germany’s Felix Loch finished second Saturday in 1:43.434. Johannes Ludwig of Germany took third in 1:43.493.
Auto racing • Dixon takes early lead in 24 Hours of Daytona: Chip Ganassi Racing was on its way to reclaiming the 24 Hours of Daytona title, with Scott Dixon in the lead after three hours in the sports car endurance race Saturday night. Dixon was ahead by almost a full lap, deftly guiding the No. 02 BMW Riley on a slick Daytona International Speedway that had been pelted with rain, causing cautions and skid outs. Ganassi’s No. 01 car had the top spot two hours into the race with Scott Pruett behind the wheel, but dropped back after a slow pit.
Football • La. Gov. Jindal looking into ‘Who Dat’ lawsuit: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is getting into the “Who Dat” fray with the NFL, asking the state attorney general to look into a possible lawsuit over the ownership rights to the popular New Orleans Saints phrase. Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin says the governor’s executive counsel contacted Attorney General Buddy Caldwell’s office Saturday. The call came within hours of the state Democratic Party’s governing body calling on Jindal to defend the rights of Louisiana citizens to use the term “Who Dat.” Some T-shirt makers have been getting cease-and-desist letters from the NFL demanding they stop selling shirts with the traditional cheer of Saints fans. The NFL claims the shirts infringe on a trademark it owns. — From wire reports

Looking up down under: Serena tops Henin for crown The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams loves a good underdog story and understood that most of the crowd was behind Justine Henin. All that sentiment was put aside once she heard an insult from the stands, a crack that went right to the heart of all athletes. Williams surged
TENNIS to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory in the Australian Open final Saturday, closing this chapter on Henin’s remarkable comeback from retirement. “I think everyone was for Justine tonight,” Williams said. “But you
know what really helped me out? This one guy was like, ‘You can beat her Justine, she’s not that good.’ “I looked at that guy and I was like, you don’t know me,” Williams added, wagging her finger. “I think I won all the games after that because that’s totally rude.” Williams plopped on her back
at Rod Laver Arena after capturing her fifth Australian Open title, breaking her sequence of victories in this major in each odd-numbered year since 2003. It also gave her more Australian titles than any woman in the Open era and allowed her to match Billie Jean King’s career total of 12 majors in singles.

Ducks pull away late, take win over Trojans The Associated Press EUGENE — Oregon’s win against Southern California on Saturday came with an assist from the Trojans’ bench. Jeremy Jacob scored a careerhigh 19 points, and his former junior college teammate Malcolm Armstead added 18 points in the Ducks’ 67-57 victory. Oregon (12-9, 4-5 Pac-10) outscored USC 20-10 in the final 5:09 after USC rallied from a nine-point deficit to tie the game at 47-47, getting a key momentum shift when Trojans graduate student manager Stan Holt was called for a technical foul by official Bobby McRoy following a missed three-pointer by USC’s Nikola Vucevic with 4:34 to play. Tajuan Porter made both free throws, and Oregon’s ensuing possession led to two more free throws by Armstead that made it 53-47 with 4:23 to play. “The referee told me he was screaming obscenities at him,” USC coach Kevin O’Neill said of Holt. “That’s on me, and that will be rectified. It already has been. ... He’s gone. If somebody is getting a technical foul, it’s going to be me. That’s incomprehensible to me in a two-point game that our manager would get a technical foul. “We were on a run, and it ends up being a four-point play. It deterred us from having a chance to win. And that’s unfor-

Oregon’s Malcolm Armstead (11) celebrates after the Ducks beat Southern California 67-57 on Saturday in Eugene. tunate for our team. I thought our team played really hard in the second half.” Holt was in his third season with the team and was student manager for the USC football team in 2006. Dwight Lewis scored 16 points, Mike Gerrity added 12 points and Vucevic had 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Trojans, who have lost five of seven since opening the Pac-10 season with a sweep of the Arizona schools. For the Ducks, it was their second straight win following a five-game losing streak.
“It’s confidence, it’s spirit, it’s togetherness, it’s a sense of family,” Oregon coach Ernie Kent said. “This team has been figuring it out, and all of a sudden, we can shoot the ball again. You’re seeing the team starting to come together. The key thing is to keep them there.” Jacob, a forward who made his second straight start and fourth of the season, was five of 10 from the field and nine of 11 from the free-throw line. Armstead was seven of 10 from the field and had seven rebounds and four assists.

Bruins shoot well, beat Beavs The Associated Press CORVALLIS — A strong shooting night was good enough to overcome a game filled with mistakes for UCLA. The Bruins committed 20 turnovers but shot 65.7 percent from the field in a 62-52 victory over Oregon State on Saturday night. UCLA, led by Reeves Nelson’s 14 points and 12 rebounds, finally broke the game open with a 12-2 run during a five-minute stretch that put the Bruins ahead 50-37 with 4:57 left. They led by as many as 14, and Oregon State could get no closer than six. UCLA (10-11, 5-4 Pac-10) had to work to find openings in the
Beavers’ 1-3-1 and 2-3 zones. “We were just being real patient,” UCLA guard Malcolm Lee. “That zone just wants to force turnovers. We were just picking our spots.” UCLA shot 23 of 35 from the field, including 15 of 20 in the second half. Oregon State was 19 of 51. The Bruins weren’t as patient in the first half as they were in the second, but they led 24-18 at halftime. UCLA had 12 turnovers at the break. The game remained close through the first 15 minutes, with neither team leading by more than three points. UCLA then went on an 11-2
run to end the half. Oregon State (9-12, 3-6) quickly erased its six-point halftime deficit, and Joe Burton’s layup tied the score at 26 with 17:19 remaining. The Beavers took their first lead of the second half on Calvin Haynes’ basket to make it 30-28. UCLA answered with six straight points and led the rest of the way. Five Bruins scored during the deciding 12-2 run. “To be able to win with 20 turnovers was only due to us being able to shoot 65 percent,” UCLA coach Ben Howland said. Haynes, coming off consecutive 25-point games, was held to 16 points on five-of-20 shooting.
No. 2 Kansas holds off No. 11 Kansas State The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. — Sherron Collins returned from a back injury to score on a hard drive with 9 seconds left in overtime, helping Kansas pull out a gritty win over Kansas State. The Jayhawks (20-1, 6-0 Big 12) dismantled Missouri on Monday and closed out the rivalry week sweep by winning a back-and-forth thriller with Kansas State (17-4, 4-3). Collins hit the floor with 2:44 left in overtime and went to the bench holding his back, then returned just in time to score on a baseline drive that put Kansas up by three. He was fouled on the play and missed the free throw, but Cole Aldrich grabbed the rebound and Brady Morningstar hit two foul shots to close out the Jayhawks’ 26th win in their last 27 games in Manhattan.

NBA ROUNDUP
Miller’s 52 leads Blazers over Mavericks The Associated Press DALLAS — Andre Miller missed badly on his first shot of the game. That was about the only thing that went wrong for Portland’s point guard. Miller scored a career-high 52 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Juwan Howard hit a jumper with 44.8 seconds left to lift the Trail Blazers past the Dallas Mavericks 114-112 Saturday night. On Portland’s second possession of the game, Miller’s 15-foot jumper missed the rim completely and hit the backboard. That was one of his few misfires as Miller finished 22 of 31 from the floor and seven of eight from the foul line. “I just wanted to stay aggressive,” Miller said. “I didn’t look at it as scoring the ball, but just going out and making plays and being the point guard. The shots came and since they were going in, I kept shooting.” Miller fell two points shy of the Portland team record set by Damon Stoudamire. Milwaukee rookie Brandon Jennings has the most points in an NBA game this season with 55 on Nov. 14. Denver’s Carmelo Anthony had the previous 50-point game in the NBA, scoring 50 against the New York Knicks on Nov. 27. Miller came in averaging 12.6 points per game and his season high had been 28. “We put him down in the post,” Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. “Right off the bat, he established himself as a go-to guy.” Portland scored the final six points, including Miller’s layup that tied the game at 112. On the Blazers’ next possession, Howard connected on a 15-foot jumper that gave Portland a 114-112 lead. That was Howard’s only basket of the game. Dirk Nowitzki scored 28 points, but he missed two shots in the final minute and one just before the buzzer that could have sent the game into a second overtime. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was critical of this team’s defensive effort. Dallas’ past three opponents have all shot more than 50 percent from the floor. “We got very soft defensively as a team,” Carlisle said. “We were a tough-minded team the first quarter of the year and it’s gone by the wayside.” Jason Terry had 18 points and Josh Howard scored 17 points as a reserve for the Mavericks. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 points and Jerryd Bayless added 17 for Portland, which was playing without All-Star guard Brandon Roy for a sixth straight game because of a right hamstring injury.
But Miller than made up for Roy’s absence by hitting 14 of 16 shots after halftime. “This was one of those nights where I just didn’t stop shooting,” Miller said. “The other nights when I was hot, I stopped myself by not shooting the ball.” Also on Saturday: Magic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104 Hawks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 86 ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 31 points and 19 rebounds and Orlando coasted to a victory over Atlanta.

SENIOR BOWL
Bearcat helps lead North over South The Associated Press MOBILE, Ala. — Mardy Gilyard once worked four jobs to stay in school after losing his scholarship. The former Cincinnati star turned in an awfully strong audition for a much more lucrative career in Saturday’s Senior Bowl, racking up 103 yards receiving and catching a 32-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to help the North race to a 31-13 victory over the South. “All my hard work just kind of came into one game,” an exuberant Gilyard said. “I’m truly blessed. I worked my butt off and I played my butt off. I’ve been through so much in my career. “This game sums up everything, because I’ve been through all the hard work, all the ups and all the downs, the peaks and the valleys. I’ve been through everything. I’ve been from the brown sticky stuff at the bottom of the barrel to the cream at the top of the coffee.” In 2006, an academically ineligible Gilyard lost his scholarship and had to take jobs ranging from cutlery salesman to construction worker to pay his steep out-of-state tuition bills. He eventually won back his scholarship. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, meanwhile, had a shaky outing running a pro-style offense against a sturdy defense. He fumbled twice and finished eight of 12 passing for 50
yards in the showcase for senior NFL prospects. Tebow’s longest completion was 11 yards and he netted 4 yards on four rushes, but was never turned loose as a power runner as he often was with the Gators. He battled strep throat early but didn’t miss any practice time during a week when he was trying to prove to skeptical NFL teams and draft analysts that he could be a starting pro quarterback. “I think I’m definitely open to improving my fundamentals,” Tebow said. “I think I definitely showed that by being here. If you just watched the way I played, you could see there is room for improvement and what I need to work on.” One of the nation’s top all-purpose threats, Gilyard also set up a third-quarter touchdown with a 43-yard catch down the right sideline and had five receptions. Both that pass and the TD came from Central Michigan’s Dan LeFevour. Michigan defensive lineman Brandon Graham had two sacks and a forced fumble and was chosen the game’s Most Valuable Player. The South committed six turnovers. “It shows that I’m going to go hard 100 percent of the time all day and whoever gets me is going to love me,” Graham said. Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount had a 14-yard touchdown run for the North, while Lonyae Miller gained a game-high 44 yards on nine carries.

Kate Puddy of Mountain View was the girls champion in a combined run time of 2:08.67, while Angelina Mayer of Summit carved her way to a narrow second-place finish in 2:09.6, just one one-hundreth of a second faster than Kori Cog-
gin of Bend, who placed third. Central Oregon’s alpine racers next compete in the giant slalom on Saturday, again at Mt. Bachelor’s Cliffhanger run. WRESTLING Panthers finish eighth at Reser’s TOC HILLSBORO — Redmond finished ahead of other area teams, Culver and Crook County, to take eighth place out of 22 teams in the Reser’s Tournament of Champions in Hillsboro.

QUESTION: Is hCG injection for weight loss really helpful in losing weight and reducing the chances of gaining the weight right back?
QUESTION: What is the difference between a surgical
and a non surgical face lift? ANSWER: Non surgical face lifts are performed without anesthesia and require no “down time”. Results can last for years, and are more affordable than surgical lifts.
Becky Carter
ANSWER: hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for weight loss is not a new concept. It has been used in Europe for over 50 years and is based on the work of Dr. Albert T. Simeon. hCG is produced by the body during pregnancy and has historically been used in the treatment of fertility and as an adjunct in testosterone replacement therapy. According to Dr. Simeon, hCG in the treatment of obesity helps to mobilize non-essential fat, decrease hunger pain, and reset the metabolic rate by its effects on the pituitary and thyroid gland. Based on Simeon’s research individuals lose roughly one pound each day and 85% do not gain weight back through what he calls a “resetting of the metabolic rate”. Dr. Simeon’s work is very controversial and strikes a chord in the multi-billion dollar diet industry. A review of literature found no statistical difference in weight loss between hCG plus low calorie diet and a low calorie diet alone. However, the hCG group did not gain as much weight back on follow-up and reported better well-being and less hunger than the low calorie diet alone. It must be kept in mind these were small studies.
Surgical face lifts can cost five thousand dollars or more, can be very painful with recovery time that can take months. Some people have experienced a lifetime of pain and scarring. Many face lift patients wish they could go back in time and reverse their decision to have a surgical face lift.
Non Surgical face lifts give a more natural,(ten to fifteen years younger) look, not the “Hollywood Style” unnatural look that many surgical lifts can give. Most clients desire is to simply look the best for the age they are, and not to change who they are. They want to look like themselves, just refreshed and revitalized. The average age of clients for Non surgical lifts are between 35-65, but depends on the condition of the clients skin.
We will be conducting a Weight loss/Detox class as a prelude to the hCG program starting Feb. 9th. Please call our office for more details.
Although Non surgical face lifts are the preference for many clients, they are not for everyone, and are not designed to replace surgical lifts, but as an alternative to a surgical procedure. Non surgical face lifts are for clients that prefer a low risk, low cost, no “down time” natural face lift that is safe, effective and affordable.

QUESTION: I am a 35 year old male who is healthy and exercise on a regular basis but have excess fat over my chest and sides. I don’t like to wear tight fitting clothes because it makes me feel self conscious. Is there anything that you can do to help me? Adam Angeles, M.D.
ANSWER: You and many other males your age have similar complaints so don’t be embarrassed. Areas of exercise-resistant fat exist over various parts of your body. They are the last and most difficult areas to get rid of, even with active people. Depending upon your personal goals, your skin elasticity and your overall body composition, you probably are a good candidate for liposuction which removes the fat cells permanently. We are obtaining excellent results with power assisted liposuction in these areas and others as well.

FA C I A L P L A S T I C S U R G E R Y QUESTION: I have been using Botox for a few years and have recently heard of an alternative product called Dysport. What is Dysport?
QUESTION: I have a lot of old silver fillings and have been thinking about having them replaced. Is it a good idea and if so what do you use to replace them?
ANSWER: The use of amalgam fillings can create significant controversy these days. In my opinion there are two issues with amalgam fillings. The first has to do with the elements that are used in amalgam. Amalgams are made of several alloys that include Tin, Mercury, Zinc, Copper, and others. There are many studies available that support the use and many studies that don’t support the use. Kelley Mingus, I would encourage you to visit the FDA’s website, and search the D.M.D. internet for more on the metals used in amalgam. A little research will help you in developing your own opinion on the elements that make up amalgam and whether or not they are good for you.
ANSWER: Dysport is a simple, effective, nonsurgical treatment, similar to Botox, that works by relaxing facial muscles on the forehead, thereby reducing and smoothing Michael E. Villano, away facial frown-lines and wrinkles. The M.D. clinical effect usually lasts for up to four months.
The second has to do with how the tooth is shaped to accommodate amalgam. Amalgam does not bond to your tooth, therefore your dentist has to create undercuts inside the tooth to help hold the amalgam in place. Reshaping a tooth to hold an amalgam usually results in more aggressive tooth removal as well as sharp internal acute angles. Internal acute angles weaken the tooth and over time leads to many fractured teeth. I take a very simple approach to amalgams in my office with three principles. My first principle is that I will not perform a service on anybody that I would not do to myself or my family. Not one member of my family has amalgams. The second principle is to be as conservative with natural tooth structure as possible. We have wonderful options to replace missing tooth structure but the reality is that nothing works as well as your natural tooth and once you remove it is gone forever. The third principle is to always return your tooth back to its original form, function and beauty. Amalgam violates all three principles. Remember we have wonderful options available to us today that don’t violate any of my three principles. I hope this helps.
Dysport is supported by over a decade of clinical experience. Dysport was developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s to successfully treat a number of neurological and ophthalmic conditions. Dysport recently received FDA approval for temporary improvement in the appearance of frown lines in adult patients less than 65 years of age.

QUESTION: I have heard that aquatic therapy can be helpful for people with chronic pain. I have tried aqua aerobics, but I felt worse. Is there anything more that water therapy can offer me?
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.
ANSWER: Yes, there is more to aquatic therapy than
Zeyla Brandt, P.T.
For folks with balance problems, exercising in a pool can be very helpful, as it allows for challenges to the balance system without the fear injury from falling. We also offer treatments which allow for gentle passive movement, with none of the discomfort that may be associated with lying on a treatment table. At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy we have a warm water pool in the clinic which is ideal for these types of therapy. Our 1:1 treatment sessions provide personal attention to our patients’ needs.

Q UESTION : I know fillers for lips are extremely popular. As I have gotten older, my lips have become smaller and are losing their shape. Even applying lipstick had become a struggle. Can permanent makeup help me? Susan Gruber,
ANSWER: Permanent makeup is a excellent
alternate to turn back the clock. Lip liner/lip color procedures can reshape the lips and enhance the color. Bleeding of lipstick into the surrounding skin is prevented and the age lines around the lip actually appear diminished. Multiple choice in colors are available from subtle to dramatic and the benefits will last much longer then the fillers. Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional

aqua aerobics. Trained physical therapists can assist you with strengthening and endurance exercises in an aquatic environment, which reduces gravity. This means that there is less force on your joints, and less pain from arthritis.
For example: Water provides 7 times the resistance of air, so this can be a very efficient medium for exercising, allowing you to achieve more in less time. Similarly the water offers more support than air does, which can be very comforting for people in pain.

UESTION: I have large veins that bulge in my lower legs when I stand for prolonged periods. They can be quite uncomfortable.

Is there anything besides vein stripping that I can do for this condition?
Q
QUESTION: I am interested in having gastricband surgery instead of a bypass since it is less invasive. Is the material of the band safe to leave inside the body? What is it made of? Does it dissolve over time? A NSWER : Lap-Band (Allergan) has been approved by the FDA since 2001. It is made of silicon. Silicon can last for many years in a dark, damp location. The stomach is an excellent place for this since there is no light and it is moist. Thuy Hughes, DO
Gastric banding is a very successful weight loss tool when combined with long-term follow-up. It is less invasive, and over the long term can measure up to the bypass for weight lost. Again, I emphasize a long term plan of follow-up care for success, including lap-band fills. Fills control the amount of pressure or restriction that the band applies to get to what we call the “green zone”, where your appetite is controlled while still losing weight steadily. This long term approach sets the patient up for the best chance of success in keeping the weight off for the rest of her life.

NSWER: What you describe is quite typical for varicose veins. This condition occurs when the Edward M. Boyle, Jr., valves in the surface veins in the legs fail, allowing M.D., FACS, FCCP blood to pool in the legs and stretch out the veins. It is a very common disorder and it can be quite uncomfortable. It is true that only a few years ago vein stripping was the main treatment option. In this operation, the patient was treated in the hospital operating room, and under a general anesthetic, the abnormal veins were “stripped out.” The pain and disability after this operation was substantial for many patients and the cosmetic result was often poor. Now days, however, there are newer office based laser procedures that have replaced vein stripping as the intervention of choice for patients who want to have their varicose veins treated. The newest procedures are minimally invasive with no need for stitches, very little down time and the cosmetic results are generally very good. In many cases, treatment for symptomatic varicose veins are covered by insurance. Call to set up a consultation and we can help you decide what options are best for your situation.

SKIING: WORLD CUP
Vonn’s streak ends as Riesch wins downhill The Associated Press
Submitted photo
Jamaican Errol Kerr, who is coached by Bend’s Eric Holmer in the new Olympic event of skicross, is a serious contender to give his country its first medal in the Winter Olympics.
Vancouver Continued from D1 Unexpectedly, though, a rider named Danny Davis came along and not only strung two together, but added a third double-cork at the end of his run to beat White in a meet in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. That sent White back to the drawing board to work on the most difficult double cork in the world, the Double McTwist 1260 — in which he crams 3½ rotations into his two head-over-heels flips. Dangerous? Yes. But a winner, indeed. He took the last two Olympic qualifying events with ease, in part because of that and in part because he flies higher above the pipe than anyone in the world.
The Snow Leopard Fans fell for Michael Edwards at the 1988 Calgary Games, cheering for the first British man to compete in Olympic ski jumping despite — or, probably, because of — his lack of experience and ability, and his last-place finish. “I am not, and will not end up being, an Eddie the Eagle at the end of the day,” said Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, a skier from that winter sports hotbed of Ghana. “Because, to me, sports is a serious thing.” Nkrumah-Acheampong is the West African nation’s first Winter Olympian. Nicknamed “The Snow Leopard,” he skis in a leopard-print racing suit. He’s been in the sport for only about five years, and much of his training is done at an indoor ski hill about an hour north of London. “It is like crossing the Sahara desert and getting to the end and getting a very cold drink and a lovely cold shower,” he said of making the Olympics. “You think about, ‘Wow, did I make that journey?’ ”
Remember Brian Orser? Brian Orser was half of the “Battle of the Brians” at the 1988 Calgary Games, the showdown in men’s figure skating between American Brian Boitano and the Canadian. Boitano edged his rival to win. Now Orser has another chance to celebrate a gold medal in his home country. He coaches the favorite on the women’s side, reigning world champion Kim Yu-na of South Korea. “I don’t know if it would take any of the sting away from ’88, actually, because this is all her
thing and I want it to be her experience,” he said. “I’ve moved on from the Olympics in ’88. It took a long time — it took a really long time — to put it into perspective. “And now I find myself where I am now, and it’s really, really exciting. All that knowledge and all that wisdom — what if I had won? I wouldn’t have learned any lessons that now I can pass it on to Yu-na.” Before last season, the pressure was starting to get to Kim. One day, Orser took her to the middle of the ice and told her, “There’s nobody else in this rink that knows what you’re going through, except for me.” “I could just see her shoulders come down, and she took a deep breath,” he recalled. “I said, ‘You’ve got to skate for you.’ I think that helped her a lot, just knowing there’s somebody in this space that actually really knows.” There could have been a Battle of the Coach Brians in Vancouver. Boitano does some work with American Alissa Czisny, but the defending U.S. champion failed to qualify.
The Jamaicans are back And not just in bobsled. Like the group that reached the 1988 Calgary Olympics and inspired the Disney movie, some aspiring track stars from the Caribbean island nation are headed to Vancouver. Though they’d appreciate if you’d hold off on the “Cool Runnings” jokes. And their driver would prefer to be known for more than his distinctive name. Hannukkah Wallace’s mother was pregnant and working at a jewelry store at the airport in Kingston when a tourist suggested “Hanukkah” for her soon-to-be-born son’s name. Somehow an extra “n” got added along the way. The bobsledders probably aren’t medal contenders, but an athlete in another sport could make the podium under the black, green and yellow flag. Errol Kerr, who is coached by Bend resident Eric Holmer, is a contender in the new Olympic event of skicross. Born to an American mother and a Jamaican father, Kerr grew up a dual citizen between Lake Tahoe, where he moved with his mother as a child, and Westmoreland, Jamaica’s westernmost parish. His background in Alpine skiing, motocross and BMX makes him the perfect fit for the hybrid sport, in which Kerr could win the first Winter Olympic medal for the country of his late father. Skicross features a mass start and head-to-head racing on a
course full of turns and banks.
Biathlon: Not just for Europeans Biathlon combines crosscountry skiing with rifle marksmanship and is the most popular winter sport in Europe; Nordic combined couples the elegance and technical grace of ski jumping with the stamina of crosscountry skiing. American fans may want to brush up on these sports, because American athletes have real chances to win the country’s first Olympic medal in each. At last year’s Nordic world championships, Todd Lodwick and Billy Demong combined for three gold medals. The United States had won only one world championship ever in Nordic combined. In December, Tim Burke became the first American to lead the World Cup biathlon standings. And his teammate, Jay Hakkinen, nearly broke the medal drought in Turin, when a split bullet that hit the target but failed to drop cost him the bronze in the 10-kilometer race. An athlete from a more traditional biathlon country also will be trying to rewrite the Olympic record books. Norway’s Ole Einar Bjorndalen has won nine medals, five gold. If he repeats his feat from 2002 of sweeping four golds, he’d break fellow Norwegian Bjorn Daehlie’s Winter Games mark of eight golds in cross country from 1992-98. He needs three medals of any color to match Daehlie’s record 12.
SAN DIEGO — Ryuji Imada, a runner-up at Torrey Pines two years ago, has a much better opportunity this time. He won’t be starting the final round 12 shots behind, or trying to catch up to Tiger Woods. Imada avoided the trouble that caught up with so many other contenders Saturday, making only one bogey and escaping with several key pars for a 2-under 70 that gave him a two-shot lead over Ben Crane and Michael Sim in the Farmers Insurance Open. Imada essentially won the BFlight two years ago when he closed with a 67 to finish eight shots behind Woods. No matter the score or who’s in the field, he obviously has figured out something about the tough South Course at Torrey Pines. He was at 13-under 203 and will be in the final group with Crane, who had a 69, and Sim, the 25-year-old Australian play-
The dangers of some winter sports are evident even before the games start. Several big names will be missing because of injuries. In Alpine skiing, downhill world champion John Kucera, World Cup slalom champion Jean-Baptiste Grange and former women’s overall World Cup winner Nicole Hosp are ruled out for Vancouver. American snowboarder Kevin Pearce, one of the world’s best halfpipe riders, suffered a severe brain injury in a training accident on New Year’s Eve. And another American halfpipe rider, Danny Davis, is out of the Olympics because of a non-snowboarding injury. And a doping ban will likely keep five-time Olympic speedskating champion Claudia Pechstein out of the games. The German received a two-year ban for blood doping but is appealing to Switzerland’s highest court.
GOLF ROUNDUP ing Torrey Pines for the first time since he was a teenager at the Junior World Championship in 2002. “The score looks pretty solid, but it was a struggle out there,” Imada said. He made a nifty up-and-down from short of the 15th green for one par, saved another par from left of the 16th green, and finished the day with a 35foot birdie putt that gave him a slightly bigger cushion than he expected. For so many others, birdies were offset by adventures. Phil Mickelson lost a ball in a eucalyptus tree and took double bogey, then rallied for a 70 and was four shots behind. U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover made double bogey on one of the easiest par 4s, then followed with four birdies for a 68, leaving him
I haven’t won all the World Cups,” Vonn said. “Maybe that takes a little of the pressure off me. As soon as you get wrapped up in records and those kinds of things, you always get distracted.” The victory ended Vonn’s chance of matching the streak set by Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell, who swept all eight downhills in the 1972-73 season. Riesch was timed in 1 minute, 41.31 seconds on the Corviglia course and trails Vonn by 61 points in the overall standings. Ingrid Jacquemod of France was second, 0.79 seconds behind, and Fabienne Suter of Switzerland was third. Seven of the top 10 finishers were among the first 11 starters, including two more Americans. Alice McKennis was a career-
best ninth on the World Cup circuit and Chelsea Marshall was a season-best 10th. Other American finishers were: Stacey Cook (12th), Leanne Smith (18th), Julia Mancuso (22nd) and MBSEF alumni Laurenne Ross (28th). Also on Saturday: Hirscher wins WCup giant slalom KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia — Marcel Hirscher of Austria won a World Cup giant slalom, while Ted Ligety finished third on a bumpy course the day after his victory in this same event. Hirscher earned his second win of the season with a flawless second run on the Podkoren 3 course to finish in a combined time of 2 minutes, 31.30 seconds. With one World Cup giant slalom remaining, Ligety leads the discipline standings with 352 points.
WINTER X GAMES
Holland snowboarder X champ again The Associated Press ASPEN, Colo. — Snowboardcross rider Nate Holland was cruising along in his semifinal run when a spray of snow suddenly shielded his vision and a pileup of crashed snowboarders cluttered his path. No time to think, Holland plunged onward, hopping over one fallen rider, steering just clear of another. This smashup was the biggest obstacle Holland had to overcome on his way to becoming the first Winter X Games athlete to win five straight titles, a feat he accomplished Saturday in the finals of Snowboarder X. Lindsey Jacobellis won the women’s event for her third straight crown. The pileup in the men’s semis left Holland and others in the field a little shaken. Sure, ac-
cidents are part of this sport’s culture. Happen all the time, in fact. This one, though, was particularly gnarly. U.S. rider Graham Watanabe started the chain reaction when he wiped out midway down the course, taking with him a good portion of the field. World champion snowboarder Max Schairer of Austria was caught in the middle, toppling over and slamming hard into one of the bumps. Schairer stayed down on the snow long after the race was over, then was carted off the mountain and transported to the hospital for further evaluation. He was later released with a mild concussion, fractured ribs and a bruised chest. The image of the accident haunted Holland, who had to
collect his thoughts for the final. He didn’t want to know anything about the wreck until after the event was over. It was easier that way. “I was in a really, really, somber mood, trying to keep my intensity up but just really thinking the best wishes up there for him,” Holland said. “It’s part of it. We know the risks of it.” Holland was all business in the final, taking the lead midway through the course and holding off U.S. teammate Seth Wescott, the defending Olympic champion. “It’s pretty surreal,” Holland said. “To win a big event like this against a field of riders that are out here is quite an honor. To do it once, I remember how fired up I was. To do it five times, I don’t know, what do I say? It’s really surreal right now.”
Who’s missing?
Imada builds lead at Torrey Pines The Associated Press
ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Lindsey Vonn is no longer perfect in downhill races. Not to worry, she says. It might help her win an Olympic title. Vonn, the world champion and two-time World Cup champ in the event, is now a mere fivefor-six this season. She placed fifth Saturday after her ski hit a hole in a race won by Germany’s Maria Riesch. “I was hoping to continue on with the series, but everything has to come to an end and no one’s perfect,” Vonn said. The American had actually won six straight, including the final downhill race of last season. Vonn’s next test in the downhill is a big one — the Vancouver Games on Feb. 17. “I do think it helps a little bit going into the Olympics that
three shots behind going into today. Also on Saturday: Two on top at Qatar Masters DOHA, Qatar — Paul Casey showed a return to form in shooting a 6-under 66 to share the lead with Bradley Dredge after the third round of the Qatar Masters. The duo will be chased by Lee Westwood in the final round, after the Englishman shot a 70 to stay one shot off the lead. American leads in New Zealand QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand — American Robert Gates shot a 4-under 68 to take a threestroke lead in the Nationwide Tour’s season-opening New Zealand Open. Gates, the 6-foot-6 former Texas A&M player making his Nationwide Tour debut, had a 16-under 200 total in the event also sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia.

LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE'S NOTICE OF SALE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the foregoing instrument shall constitute notice, pursuant to ORS 86.740, that the Grantor of the Trust Deed described below has defaulted on its obligations to beneficiary, and that the Beneficiary and Successor Trustee under the Trust Deed have elected to sell the property secured by the Trust Deed: TRUST DEED AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: This instrument makes reference to that certain deed of trust dated October 18, 2007, and recorded on October 19, 2007, as instrument number 2007-55853, in the Official Records of Deschutes County, State of Oregon, wherein DOUG STRAIN is the Grantor and AMERITITLE - DESCHUTES is the Trustee, and HOME FEDERAL BANK, as successor in interest to COMMUNITY FIRST BANK, an Oregon state-chartered commercial bank, is the Beneficiary (the "Trust Deed"). The aforementioned Trust Deed covers property (the "Property") described as: Lot Nine (9), RIVER PARK ESTATES, recorded October 19, 2004, in Cabinet G, Page 480, Deschutes County, Oregon. Also commonly described as: [no street address]. The tax parcel number(s) are: 245788. The undersigned hereby certifies that he has no knowledge of any assignments of the Trust Deed by the Trustee or by the Beneficiary or any appointments of a Successor Trustee other than the appointment of JEFFREY C. GARDNER, as Successor Trustee as recorded in the property records of the county in which the Property described above is situated. Further, the undersigned certifies that no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed. Or, if such action has been instituted, it has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The name and address of Successor Trustee are as follows: Jeffrey C. Gardner, Successor Trustee, Ball Janik LLP, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 1100, Portland, Oregon 97204-3219. The Trust Deed is not a "Residential Trust Deed", as defined in ORS 86.705(3), thus the requirements of Chapter 19, Section 20, Oregon Laws 2008, and Chapter 864 [S.B. 628], Oregon Laws 2009, do not apply. DEFAULT BY GRANTOR AND ELECTION TO SELL: There are continuing and uncured defaults by the Grantor that, based on the provisions of the Trust Deed, authorize the foreclosure of the Trust Deed and the sale of the Property described above, which uncured and continuing defaults include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Grantor's failure to pay to Beneficiary, when and in the full amounts due, monthly payments as set forth on the Note secured by said Deed of Trust. Monthly payments under the Note secured by Deed of Trust, are due for the months of August through November, 2009 and each and every month thereafter until paid. Interest due as of (i.e., through and including) November 9, 2009 totals $6,254.17 and continues to accrue at the rate of 18% per annum or $155.38 per diem. On account of Borrower's continuing and uncured defaults, and pursuant to the express terms of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust, effective from and after October 22, 2009, the fully floating interest rate applicable to Loan 45004314 was increased to the default interest rate applicable to the Loan. ALL AMOUNTS are now due and payable along with all costs and fees associated with this foreclosure. 2. As to the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Deed of Trust, you must cure each such default. Listed below are the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Deed of Trust. Opposite each such listed default is a brief description of the action necessary to cure the default and a description of the documentation necessary to show that the default has been cured. The list does not exhaust all possible other defaults; any and all defaults identified by Beneficiary or the Successor Trustee that are not listed below must also be cured. OTHER DEFAULT / Description of Action Required to Cure and Documentation Necessary to Show Cure: Non-Payment of Taxes and/or Assessments. / Deliver to Successor Trustee written proof that all taxes and assessments against the Real Property are paid current. TOTAL UNCURED MONETARY (PAYMENT) DEFAULT: By reason of said uncured and continuing defaults, the Beneficiary has accelerated and declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed and the Property immediately due and payable.

On Feb. 8, exploring ‘green’ — and beyond

e are all — quite correctly — focused on the recession and the path to build our way out of it. Likewise, we are concerned about the right way to get health care costs under control and more people insured, just as we debate the smart way to advance our national security. These are the overwhelming issues of the day. It’s not hard to understand why. People want jobs. They want care when ill, and they want to be safe from some nut job with a bomb. There are no more basic interests. But there is another theme that, even though not as dramatic, will be around for a long time, perhaps even longer than health care reform, the recession and crazy people with bombs. It’s all that we wrap up concerning the environment: our lives, our homes, our jobs, our communities, our politics and a hundred other categories. It’s about things green. And a week from tomorrow we are launching a section focused on this subject. On Feb. 8., we will convert what is now the Monday Pets page into one called Green, Etc. We are not giving up on pets coverage. It will move to the first and third Tuesdays in Community Life. The first Tuesday of each month will be Horse Country and the third Tuesday will be general pets coverage. We know this is an important topic and we want to make sure we continue to serve this interest of yours. But back to Green, Etc. We know this is also a huge and growing topic, one that has both very passionate supporters and very vocal critics. It is not our intention to take one side or another. We want our efforts to be both explanatory and practical. As Business Editor John Stearns, who will oversee the page, describes it, “We’re going to try to make the green stories as consumer-oriented as possible: things to do to be green, tips on green appliances, insulation, etc. We want the stories to be user-friendly.” Or, in the words of News Editor Jan Jordan, the section is “geared to interest readers in all things green, with a focus on Central Oregon and the things being done here. “Sometimes we’ll show readers what businesses, schools and organizations are doing to bring existing trends here in their construction and day-to-day impacts — as in the cases of the parks building, the newest schools or The Oxford Hotel,” she said. “Sometimes we’ll profile people who are making unique contributions, as in the case of the couple pushing environmental boundaries nationwide with their green home, or a kid here who has committed to riding his bike to school every day. “Sometimes we’ll lead the way, advising consumers how they can have the biggest impact for the smallest outlay,” she added. Jordan describes another critical component. “And sometimes we’ll take a more skeptical approach, questioning whether all we hear about going green is working, or even what we should be doing.” This is only appropriate, since going green is not a cheap undertaking, and the cost benefit can often be challenged. There are other elements of Green, Etc. There will be science and technology stories on the page. We’ll introduce area companies engaged in scientific and technological pursuits, explain scientific advances and profile the people who are making them happen. Two weeks ago we learned that Facebook will move a new, nearly $200 million data center to Prineville. It was certainly a headline grabber, but it was also a reminder that we have a substantial and growing tech sector in our economy, one that is likely little understood and undercelebrated. Our new section, which has been on the drawing boards for months, will provide a good look at these pivotal industries. We hope you find it useful. John Costa is the editor-in-chief of The Bulletin.

End of the road for a Mired in the Martian sand, the resilient rover called Spirit finally ends its explorations
rover By Kenneth Chang New York Times News Service
PASADENA, Calif. — fficials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced last week that the Martian rover Spirit, mired in a sandpit for the last 10 months, would remain there forever. But the officials said they were hopeful that the Spirit would continue life as a stationary science station — if it survives the upcoming Martian winter. “This is not a day of mourning for Spirit,” Douglas McCuistion, director of the Mars exploration program at NASA headquarters in Washington, said during a telephone news conference. For the resilient Spirit, it had been a slow, sad demise. Spirit’s right front wheel stopped turning
O
in 2006, and since then, it had generally traveled backward, which makes it easier for it to drag the lame wheel. The rover was moving backward last March when the wheels on the right side broke through the crusty surface into a fluffy, sandlike material. During the next couple of weeks, the right wheels sank, almost buried. Engineers then spent seven months with test rovers in a sandbox at the laboratory, exploring strategies for getting out of the sand. In November, the managers decided to have the Spirit retrace its tracks by moving forward. The rover immediately ran into more trouble when the right rear wheel also failed, leaving just the middle wheel on the right side still turning. The progress was minuscule, leading to the decision last week to reverse course again. See Rover / F6

Oregon’s great $3.3B mystery
V
ictory for the new taxes of Measures 66 and 67 will help but not solve the state’s budget problems. If Oregon has another $3.3 billion, or maybe just millions, to help bal-
ance the budget, wouldn’t that be nice to know? State Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, has been on a quest since May to find out. So far, she hasn’t gotten a straight answer. This month, she saw almost the same eye-popping statement in the state’s new Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that she saw in last year’s. Oregon has billions available in ending fund balances. The most recent CAFR said the state had ending fund balances of $4.4 billion, with 75 percent “available for spending subject to statutory and constitutional spending constraints.” Telfer knows much of the resulting $3.3 billion is going to be off limits. There are federal constraints. There are constitutional limits. Some of the money is constrained by state law. But what Telfer wants to know is precisely how much is off limits. After all, legislators write state laws. They can write new ones. When the state is in a crisis, budget priorities change. On Monday, Telfer sent Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown a letter asking for a detailed explanation of exactly how much money is restricted federally, constitutionally, by state statute, and what those constraints might be. Don Hammond, Brown’s spokesman, told us Brown will try to help Telfer find the answers. Months ago, Gov. Ted Kulongoski said something similar. He called Telfer’s focus on these funds “a great idea” and vowed to look at it closely. Still, there are no answers. Rather than wait around some more, we went looking. Officials in state government directed us to State Controller John Radford. His office issues the reports that noted the billions
It’s only after the votes on Measures 66 and 67 that there is going to be any real movement on finding out what Oregon does and does not have to spend. of ending fund balances and tracks state financial information. The short answer is, though: Radford doesn’t know. His office doesn’t collect that information. It’s not been told to. But it will. Because of a change in the accounting recommendations of the federal Governmental Accounting Standards Board, or GASB, Oregon is going to start keeping better track of its money. As of June 15, under what’s called GASB 54, governments are supposed to start breaking out fund balances by stating clearly what is restricted, committed to specific purposes, assigned and unassigned. Radford said after several months of collecting and compiling data from every state agency, Telfer and anybody else will be able to see what the state really has to spend. So, it’s only after the votes on Measures 66 and 67 that there is going to be any real movement on finding out what Oregon does and does not have to spend. It’s too bad Oregonians didn’t know before the vote.
Weed rules need teeth
F
or the past eight years, Deschutes County has relied heavily on educating property owners about the dangers posed by noxious weeds, then leaving it up to those owners to deal with the problem on a voluntary basis. Now, it is poised to put some muscle into the effort in the form of fines for those who choose to let the weeds grow as they will. Education remains important, however. Noxious weeds can be pretty, for one thing, and it can be tempting to treat them as a valuable part of the landscape. Problem is, good care means they’ll spread, and when they do so, they choke out native plants that provide habitat for native animals. Also, some care must be taken when eradicating the weeds by hand. Knapweed, for example, can spread dramatically if it’s picked after flowers go to seed, and the seeds live literally for years in the soil. Yet education clearly isn’t the whole answer. Too many vacant lots are choked with such things as knapweed and Dalmatian toadflax in the
summer, and every year they’re not treated, they spread. The U.S. Forest Service spent more than $200,000 to fight invasive species in the Deschutes National Forest last year, but unless weeds are controlled on private and other public land in the county, it’s fighting an uphill battle it might not be able to win. County officials say most property owners are willing and able to control weeds when problems are pointed out to them. Some, however, are not. It’s for those, the ones who view the weeds on their property either as somebody else’s problem or nobody’s problem at all, that being able to fine makes sense. Oregon law recognizes that fact by allowing a fine of up to $720 if weeds, once pointed out, go untreated. We suspect giving county officials authority to impose fines will not create a new class of “weed police.” Instead, the power will give officials the teeth they sometimes need to make weed rules stick.
My Nickel’s Worth Coyote derby is sad I was so deeply saddened to read about the “coyote derby” organized by the man from Silver Lake. My father worked for Winchester-Western, and I grew up shooting and hunting. We never killed birds and animals that we didn’t eat, took great care to shoot well and never to just wound an animal. The people involved in this derby not only don’t understand basic principles of wildlife management or ecosystems, but have strange, primitive ideas of having fun: killing animals for no purpose, and killing as many as one can, in hopes of winning a prize is despicable behavior and a very strange tribute to a friend. Curtis Schade Sunriver
Trying terrorists I am amazed that none of the socalled experts in the media have realized why the Obama administration has insisted on applying the rights of American citizens to the group of terrorists by trying them in our civilian judicial system. It has been estimated that the trial could take years, costing tens of millions of dollars just for security. No doubt these terrorists will be supplied a team of lawyers at our expense, which brings up the real reason for this travesty. The old adage rings true: “Follow the money!” Costs to the taxpayer will surely run into then tens or even hundreds of millions of fees to the lawyers. Consider then, what group contributes the most to the Democratic Party? Do you get it now? The trial lawyers. The scheme funnels taxpayer money through their hands with a guarantee that millions will be filtered to the
Democratic Party in payback for this windfall. Ironically, the terrorists have, reportedly, admitted their guilt in the crimes they are accused of, but it’s hard to siphon off vast amounts of taxpayers’ money with a guilty plea. I have long held the belief that lawyers have actually prolonged this and previous wars by their mere involvement. This belief is, I think, substantiated by the number of times I have heard references to “it was a legal target” in regard to an offensive action on our part. If my hypothesis is correct, I believe it would greatly facilitate the war effort if lawyers were conscripted, perhaps one in every unit on the front line. After all, our policy is apparently to afford greater protection to those who would destroy us! Don McKeown Redmond
The global warming farce Steve Stambaugh’s piece (In My View, The Bulletin, Jan. 9) is a well-assessed response to the politically advocated farce of human-caused global warming. Our government (both state and federal) is leading us down a path that will be the detriment of our society as it exists today merely for the advancement of the political left. Scientists have told us that climate change has occurred since the beginning of time. Our efforts to change that fact are inconsequential and occur at great cost. Indeed, our resources should be spent in more worthy directions, i.e., poverty, hunger, disease, as well as improvement of the infrastructure of our country. Bruce Wells Redmond
Five critical flaws The Senate health care bill would: 1. Deny Americans the choice of a public option. In contrast, the House bill contains a national public option, the key to real competition, greater choice and lower costs for everyone. 2. Leave insurance unaffordable for some lower-income working people. Both bills require virtually all Americans to buy insurance (a windfall for insurance companies). But even with the subsidies provided, some families could have to pay up to 20 percent of their income on health care expenses. 3. Tax American workers’ health coverage to pay for reform. The Senate would pay part of reform by taxing benefits packages of some working Americans. The House, on the other hand, pays for reform with a small surcharge on only the wealthiest Americans — a far better approach, especially since the rich have had, and have, so many tax breaks and advantages versus average Americans. 4. Allow insurance companies to remain exempt from anti-trust laws. Under current law, insurance companies are actually exempt from laws designed to prevent monopolies and price-gouging. The House bill would fix this, but the Senate bill leaves it in place. 5. Impose dangerous restrictions on women’s already legal reproductive rights. Most glaringly, both the Senate and House bill would leave millions uninsured. These things need to be fixed immediately.

Little regard for the truth in climate change debate W
hile listening to reports of record snows, worldwide freezing temperatures and a comet hitting our sun, I was pleased to read Steven Stambaugh’s In My View piece (Jan. 9). I’m an electrical engineer with a lifelong interest in astronomy and geology. I therefore have a good idea of the history of this planet. I won’t say that a year with extreme winter weather should end the climate change debate, but I can’t help notice that we now avoid the term “global warming.” We entered the Algorian era in the ’90s and now have Algorian followers scaring children and destroying property, as in Copenhagen in December. Political leaders and others with little scientific knowledge have picked up the Algorian banner and provided awards and medals to the Algorian leader. We also have a major corporation
trying to benefit from climate fears in pushing for wind power while controlling several media outlets that push its environmental agenda. These same media outlets have shown little regard for the truth in the past several years. Mr. Stambaugh thinks we should be looking more to external influences than human-caused, internal influences. So do I, for these reasons: The Earth and its orbit are not perfect. The Earth is not a perfect sphere. It doesn’t spin perfectly either. It wobbles about, changing its axial angle to the sun over a period of 19,000 to 23,000 years (precession). The Earth’s axis isn’t at right angle to the sun even without precession. The Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle. It is a bit egg-shaped and varies in time in both eccentricity and angle of orbital plane. Is there a clue here?
IN MY VIEW We see extreme seasonal climate change each year. We see four major seasons and four transitional seasons due to relatively small changes in the orbit and axial position. We now know that stars and, therefore our sun, are affected by the gravitational influence of orbiting planets. So, even the sun moves around. Is the combined gravitational effect on the Earth’s orbit, especially during planetary conjunction, a major cause of climate change along with precession? Probably! The Earth is almost 5 billion years old in a 12 billion-year-old universe. Modern humans have existed for less than one-half of a precessional period (10,000 to 12,000 years). It is believed that the Sahara changed from garden to desert
some 12,000 years ago. At about the same time, the Great Lakes and Finger Lakes were filling with water from receding, melting glaciers. Could it be that the Earth is now entering a half precessional circuit cooling period? That probably should be considered! It’s interesting that, if you are not convinced that humans are the primary cause of climate change, you are branded as a “denier” or “skeptic.” In other words, you are presumed wrong. Scientists including Adhemar, Croll, Milankovitch, Berger and Laskar seem to be ignored. Google Malankovitch/ Malankovitch Cycle for information. Could it be because with externally caused climate change, humans can do nothing about it? The non-deniers would then have to admit failure and lose face. We do have internal causes also. There are thousands of sub-sea active
volcanic vents and at least one active dry land eruption in process. We also still have plate tectonics moving continents around. So why get so panicky over trivial climate changes over the past few hundred years? I feel it’s important to slow the development of more wind farms. Large windmills will be costly to operate and maintain. Large fiberglass blades are easily damaged and it now takes several rock climbers at high cost to repair them (The Bulletin, Dec. 25, “Wind farms’ rise may be a boon for rock climbers”). Wind farms located in the salty atmosphere of sea water also seem impractical. Since Algorians are driving wind farm development, an honest and definite cause for climate change must be agreed upon without fear of insults. Frank D. Smith lives in Redmond.
THE BULLETIN • Sunday, January 31, 2010 F3
O Trashing the job-makers won’t help A
year ago, Barack Obama inherited a recession brought on by financial panic following the collapse of the housing bubble. The market crash was made worse by Wall Street shenanigans and recklessness at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Job losses followed. In response, Obama pushed through a stimulus bill that went well beyond the borrowing done by George W. Bush in his last months in office. In fact, Obama and the Congress borrowed an additional $787 billion to infuse the economy with fresh job-creating cash. The president warned us that without this borrowing, unemployment might reach double digits. Yet with the stimulus, unemployment has soared from 7.6 percent to 10 percent. That translates into more than 4 million jobs lost in 2009 alone. In reaction, an embarrassed administration continues to cite hypothetical jobs saved, rather than the actual number of jobs lost this year. Just this week senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, press secretary Robert Gibbs and senior White House adviser David Axelrod variously claimed “thousands and thousands,” “1.5 million” and “2 million” jobs saved. If the White House insiders can’t get their theoretical numbers straight, how can anyone else? Why the continual job losses? First, the government can create only so many jobs by borrowing and spending. It is less efficient than private en-

Higher federal budgets eventually translate into more bureaucrats to shackle the private sector with more regulations that discourage innovation and experimentation. In contrast, the U.S. Small Business Administration claims that small businesses employ about half of all working Americans. Yet building contractors, orthodontists, local real estate agents and small software companies (to name just a few types of small businesses) in the last year have not been convinced that
it is time to start buying new equipment and hiring more employees to gear up for increased consumer demand. Why the continued depression among employers? Many may suspect that the administration does not appreciate how hard it is to be self-employed — an understandable conjecture when neither the president nor many in his Cabinet have had careers outside government or academia. Tenure and near-automatic annual pay raises do not exist in the world of the insurance agent, farmer or trucker. Instead, when employers listen to the president’s grand ideas for health care reform, they must quietly cringe at increased costs per worker. When they hear soaring rhetoric about cap-andtrade energy policy, they must silently fear higher power costs. Worse still has been the promiscuous talk this past year about all sorts of higher taxes. During the 2008 campaign and the president’s first year, we heard Obama promise new income taxes that would revert to the higher rates of the Clinton administration. But that would now come on top of recent new tax hikes by the states that have often upped their own income and sales taxes by considerable margins since 2000. During the health care debate, there were also promises of a special surcharge on “Cadillac health plans,” as well as making the upper brackets pay a surcharge to fund the care of others.
And don’t forget Obama’s inheritancetax proposals that would have reversed the scheduled one-year repeal (with what many expected would become permanent) of the inheritance tax to a 45 percent tax rate on anything that an individual leaves to his heirs beyond $3.5 million in value — capital that was already taxed during its acquisition. As a result of all this tax-talking frenzy, business owners have no idea what their new aggregate tax obligations will be or when they will kick in. They can only sense that the Obama administration wants to go after successful entrepreneurs to fund more federal entitlement for others — as if the 5 percent of Americans who fork over 55 percent of the aggregate income tax revenue don’t pay enough already. If President Obama really wants to foster job growth, he needs to get specific. Stop the borrowing and instead tell the business community exactly what income, payroll and surcharge taxes he proposes, when they will begin — and how much he appreciates those who will pay them. When it comes to creating a psychological climate to encourage employers to start hiring again, a little certainty and a little praise are a lot better than uncertainty and talk of taxing even more those who now already pay the most.

power of the 1990s, nor can we still rely primarily on force. We don’t have the resources. Our military is overstretched and our budgets grossly overextended. And our global clout — the ability to persuade or compel other nations to follow our lead — has been sharply eroding as our economy sinks. If Sen. John McCain had won the presidency in 2008, he would have been forced to recognize the same foreignpolicy realities Obama had already grasped. Where the Obama team slipped up was in overestimating how far, and how quickly, their man could advance on a current of global good feelings. They also failed to grasp how swiftly U.S. influence would erode as America’s economic troubles grew. Case in point: Iran. In his inaugural address, Obama included this now-famous phrase aimed at Tehran: “We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” He hoped his outreach to the Muslim world, and his efforts to “engage” its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would bring results during his first year. He also hoped that smoothing relations with Moscow and Beijing would persuade them to back harsher sanctions against Iran if it failed
to curb its nuclear program. The policy made sense. The idea of waging a third U.S. war — with Iran — precipitated by U.S. or Israeli bomb strikes is crazy. The U.S. military does not want a third war. But China and Russia were reluctant to endorse harsher sanctions as America’s global position weakened and Iran’s energy resources beckoned. Moreover, political upheaval within Iran made the regime less willing to deal. The president’s personal popularity took him only so far. The same was true on Mideast peace talks, where his global appeal had little resonance inside Israel and could not, alone, win Arab concessions. Nor could his charm persuade a rising China and India to limit carbon emissions, which they believe means limiting growth. In 2010, the Obama team will be more seasoned and, hopefully, more realistic. Its strategy of engagement — diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — will be tested by approaching deadlines in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. On Iran, if Tehran continues to develop the capacity to build nuclear weapons, pressure will mount in some U.S. circles and within Israel for a military strike this year. The president must repel this pressure, while pressing for new sanctions. Bombing Iranian sites would not end Tehran’s nuclear program, but would inflame the region, while undercutting the best hope for change within Iran — the growing domestic opposition to the regime. In Iraq, the number of U.S. soldiers
like themselves. They were willing to tolerate the excesses of traders because they understood that no institution is more likely to channel opportunity to new groups and new people than vigorous financial markets. In their view, government’s role was not to side with one faction or to wage class war. It was to rouse the energy and industry of people at all levels. It was to enhance competition and make it fair — to make sure than no group, high or low, is able to erect barriers that would deprive Americans of an open field and a fair chance. Theirs was a philosophy that celebrated development, mobility and work, wherever those things might be generated. The populists have an Us versus Them mentality. If they continue their random attacks on enterprise and capital, they will only increase the pervasive feeling of uncertainty, which is now the single biggest factor in holding back investment, job creation and growth. They will end up discrediting good policies (the Obama bank reforms are quite sensible) because they will persuade the country that the government is in the hands of reckless Huey Longs. They will have traded dynamic optimism, which always wins, for combative divisiveness, which always loses. David Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times.

will drop sharply this year. But it will take keen U.S. attention and regional diplomacy to get Iraq successfully through March elections and prepare the country for the exit of most or all U.S. troops in 2011. And this year, Obama’s new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan will be fully tested, with hopes that his troop surge can be reversed in 2011. The U.S. military and the White House insist that Islamist militants cannot be defeated solely by military means. It will take skillful political engagement with the weak Afghan and Pakistani governments to ensure that increased international aid goes for jobs, thus undercutting the Taliban. And U.S. military commanders must also persuade their Pakistani counterparts to destroy Taliban havens within their country. At the same time, it will take astute, behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy to help restart Pakistani-Indian talks over Kashmir, a conflict that fuels Pakistan’s Islamist fervor. And, in the end, it will take regional diplomacy, promoted by the United States, to woo key Taliban leaders to drop their links with al-Qaida and reenter the Afghan political process. The beginnings of such diplomacy will be on view at the London conference on Afghanistan next weekend. We’ll be in a better position to judge the success of Obama’s efforts at engagement by this time next year.

Populism replaces optimism with divisiveness
P
olitics, some believe, is the organization of hatreds. The people who try to divide society on the basis of ethnicity we call racists. The people who try to divide it on the basis of religion we call sectarians. The people who try to divide it on the basis of social class we call either populists or elitists. These two attitudes — populism and elitism — seem different, but they’re really mirror images of one another. They both assume a country fundamentally divided. They both describe politics as a class struggle between the enlightened and the corrupt, the pure and the betrayers. Both attitudes will always be with us, but these days populism is in vogue. The Republicans have their populists. Sarah Palin has been known to divide the country between the real Americans and the cultural elites. And the Democrats have their populists. Since the defeat in Massachusetts, many Democrats have apparently decided that their party has to mimic the rhetoric of John Edwards’ presidential campaign. They’ve taken to dividing the country into two supposedly separate groups — real Americans who live on Main Street and the insidious interests of Wall Street. It’s easy to see why politicians would be drawn to the populist pose. First, it makes everything so simple. The economic crisis was caused by a complex
David Brooks web of factors, including global imbalances caused by the rise of China. But with the populist narrative, you can just blame Goldman Sachs. Second, it absolves voters of responsibility for their problems. Over the past few years, many investment bankers behaved like idiots, but so did average Americans, racking up unprecedented levels of personal debt. With the populist narrative, you can accuse the former and absolve the latter. Third, populism is popular with the ruling class. Ever since I started covering politics, the Democratic ruling class has been driven by one fantasy: That voters will get so furious at people with MBAs that they will hand power to people with PhDs. The Republican ruling class has been driven by the fantasy that voters will get so furious at people with PhDs that they will hand power to people with MBAs. Members of the ruling class love populism because they think it will help their section of the elite gain power. So it’s easy to see the seductiveness of populism. Nonetheless, it nearly always fails. The history of populism, go-
ing back to William Jennings Bryan, is generally a history of defeat. That’s because voters aren’t as stupid as the populists imagine. Voters are capable of holding two ideas in their heads at one time: First, that the rich and the powerful do rig the game in their own favor; and second, that simply bashing the rich and the powerful will still not solve the country’s problems. Political populists never get that second point. They can’t seem to grasp that a politics based on punishing the elites won’t produce a better-educated work force, more investment, more innovation or any of the other things required for progress and growth. In fact, this country was built by anti-populists. It was built by people like Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln, who rejected the idea that the national economy is fundamentally divided along class lines. They rejected the zero-sum mentality that is at the heart of populism, the belief that economics is a struggle over finite spoils. Instead, they believed in a united national economy — one interlocking system of labor, trade and investment. Hamilton championed capital markets and Lincoln championed banks, not because they loved traders and bankers. They did it because they knew a vibrant capitalist economy would maximize opportunity for poor boys
Let’s leave politics to the adults M
aybe it’s just me, but I’ve found the last few weeks in American politics particularly unnerving. Our economy is still very fragile, yet you would never know that by the way the political class is acting. We’re like a patient that just got out of intensive care and is sitting up in bed for the first time when, suddenly, all the doctors and nurses at bedside start bickering. One of them throws a stethoscope across the room; someone else threatens to unplug all the monitors unless the hospital bills are paid by noon; and all the while the patient is thinking: “Are you people crazy? I am just starting to recover. Do you realize how easily I could relapse? Aren’t there any adults here?” Sometimes you wonder: Are we home alone? Obviously, the political and financial elites to whom we give authority often act on the basis of personal interests. But we still have a long way to go to get out of the mess we are in, and if our elites do not behave with a greater sense of the common good, we could find our economy doing a double dip with a back flip. Dov Seidman, the CEO of LRN, which helps companies build ethical cultures, likes to talk about two kinds of values: “situational values” and “sustainable values.” Leaders, companies or individuals guided by situational values do whatever the situation will allow, no matter the wider interests of their communities. A banker who writes a mortgage for someone he knows can’t make the payments over time is acting on situational values, saying: “I’ll be gone when the bill comes due.” People inspired by sustainable values act just the opposite, saying: “I will never be gone. I will always be here. Therefore, I must behave in ways that sustain — my employees, my customers, my suppliers, my environment, my country and my future generations.” Lately, we’ve seen an explosion of situational thinking. I support the broad proposals President Barack Obama put forth last week to prevent banks from becoming too big to fail and to protect taxpayers from banks that get in trouble by speculating and then expect us to bail them out. But the way the president unveiled his proposals — “if those folks want a fight, it’s a fight I’m ready to have” — left me feeling as though he was looking for a way to bash the banks right after the Democrats’ loss in Massachusetts, in order to score a few cheap political points more than to initiate a serious national discussion about an incredibly complex issue. That said, part of me can’t blame the president. The behavior of some leading Wall Street banks, particularly Goldman Sachs, has been utterly selfish. U.S. taxpayers saved Goldman by saving one of its big counterparties, AIG. By any fair calculation, the U.S. Treasury should own a slice of Goldman today. Goldman has been the poster boy for banks behaving by “situational values.” Also, Obama tried to create a bipartisan commission to come up with a plan to reduce the national debt — a plan that would inflict pain on both parties by cutting some programs and raising some taxes. But the Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, said the GOP would not cooperate with any commission that proposes raising taxes. And some liberal Democrats rejected cutting their favorite programs. Way to take one for the country, guys. Then let’s look at the unions — hardly paragons of sustainable thinking for the country. We all know they got more than their fair share in the General Motors settlement and in the Obama health care proposals because they could shake down the Democrats in return for votes. And, finally, don’t forget both the Democratic and Republican senators who have decided to get a quick populist boost by turning one of the few adults we have left — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke — into a piñata. No, Bernanke is not blameless for the 2008 crisis. But since then he has helped steer the country back from the brink and kept us out of a depression. He absolutely deserves reappointment. No doubt, this is a lousy season to be the leader of any institution. We are in the midst of a long period of austerity, where all that most leaders will be able to do is cut, fire and trim. It is so easy to play populism and run against them. But this time is different. When our government is this deeply involved in propping up our economy, and the economy is this fragile, politics as usual will kill us.
Too soon to judge Obama’s foreign policy I Trudy f you’re trying to grade President Obama’s foreign policy one year after he took office, my advice is: Wait until next year. It’s tempting to jump the gun and call his foreign policy a washout. After all, the sky-high global ratings inspired by Obama’s victory have not yet produced any tangible foreign-policy triumphs — in the Middle East, South Asia, or on global warming. Even an early Obama supporter like security expert Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine that Obama “has not yet made the transition from inspiring orator to compelling statesman. Advocating that something happen is not the same as making it happen.” But I believe it’s much too soon to pass judgment: 2010 will be the critical year for strategies that the Obama team has set in motion — on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, the Arab-Israeli peace process, and other key issues. By year’s end, we’ll be able to judge whether his emphasis on diplomatic “engagement” as substitute for — or complement to — military force can produce results. Critics who deride Obama’s insistence on “engagement” are ignoring historical currents. The Bush administration’s debacle in Iraq, rescued at the last minute, has sharply diminished America’s clout and influence abroad. So did the Bush team’s abandonment of Afghanistan (squandering the gains of a successful war there), which permitted al-Qaida and the Taliban to revive. Obama rightly understood that we could no longer act like the sole super-

When I finally came out from “Under the Dome,” (Scribner; 1,072 pgs.; $35) Stephen King’s latest, I surveyed the damage. The house was trashed, the groceries I had just bought were pilfered, and the children were in a sugar daze watching their third hour of television. What can I say? I read the page-turner during a weekend when a heavy snow fell. The mess inside my house seemed appropriate given King’s penchant for creating apocalyptic chaos. A small price to pay for a weekend of reading. There are a crazy number of great new books out right now that are perfect for getting cozy by the fire to get through the last — and most difficult — part of winter. First, King’s book. The tiny western Maine town of Chester’s Mill is cut off from the country when a force field-like dome descends. What happens is a slowbuilding meltdown of society — mostly due to the sad nature of people. The town is taken over by a mad selectman — Big Jim.

chestrated mayhem. It’s a roller coaster of a book. Say what you want about King, he’s a master storyteller and one of my favorite writers since high school. Sure, some of the sentences aren’t quite up to some highbrow literary standards (it’s a 1,000+ page book), but there are a truly impressive number of splattered brain descriptions. Still, I had a hard time putting “Dome” down. And that’s, I think, one of the best things you can say about any book.

“The Little Stranger” by Sarah Waters (Riverhead Books; 463 pgs; $26.95) The restraint and buildup Waters uses in this delicious, oldfashioned ghost story are what makes it so brilliant. Hundreds Hall is the kind of place you can conjure up in your mind’s eye — endless manor house, decaying around the living in 1940s England. It’s as much a character as Dr. Faraday, who finds himself visiting Hundreds to treat a servant, feigning illness because the house gives her the creeps and she wants out. Faraday, whose own mother worked at the house as a maid, becomes friendly with the owners and is drawn in. He then
treats Rod, the lord of the manor, who is unraveling as he experiences paranormal events.
By Colette Bancroft “Noah’s Compass” by Anne Tyler (Knopf; 277 pgs.; $25.95) Liam Pennywell is an unlikely hero. A sad sack of a man who started out his life hoping to be a philosopher and winds up in a dead-end, fifth-grade teaching job is forced to retire. His inability to connect with people — an ex-wife, his daughters and his grandchild — is so striking that it’s sometimes painful. After he downsizes and moves into a small apartment, an intruder attacks Liam in the night. He wakes up in a hospital with no recall of the incident. That memory lapse shakes Liam more than the physical attack, including a bite to his arm by the intruder. “On purpose or not, there was something so intimate about a stranger’s biting him.” The book is peppered with such Tyler-isms as “thingamajig” and “by and by.” “Yoo hoo” is even used as a trademark greeting by a neighbor who launches a memory string that helps someone recover from a coma. Liam has no such string, but the memory lapse obsesses him, and leads him toward something more.

No one to give a valentine to?

Man vs. nature theme pervades collection of stories by T.C. Boyle “Wild Child: Stories” by T.C. Boyle (Viking; 304 pgs.; $25.95)
By Don Waters San Francisco Chronicle
T.C. Boyle has published 20 books in 30 years, beginning in 1979 with the story collection “Descent of Man.” He’s proved, over the course of his career, to be not only a prolific writer but also an ingenious sociologist. He delights in critiquing our culture — his 2009 novel “The Women,” for instance, excavated the blustery love life of the American icon Frank Lloyd Wright. And now, with “Wild Child,” his ninth story collection, Boyle continues his critique — one bizarre situation at a time. The Mexican boy of “Sin Dolor,” who “doesn’t feel pain the way others do,” is one example. The boy burns himself and plays with bark scorpions the way other toddlers toss around toys. But his father senses opportunity and forces him “to travel from town to town like a freak in a sideshow,” performing “feats of senseless torture” for money. What no one realizes, however, is that the boy, now a scarred ghost, does feel great pain, only it’s not physical. Boyle finds entree into other similarly peculiar scenarios, some of which seem pulled off the News of the Weird page. So realistic is his creation of a suburban woman who encounters a tiger in her garden, “the size of a pony,” that her nerve-racking situation contains enough kinetic energy to power the narrative: “It sat there on its haunches like a dog anticipating a treat, braced on its big buff paws, ears erect, tail twitching, watching her.” Other encounters with nature’s instruments are equally abundant in these 14 stories. Natural and man-made disasters abound. Southern California, in particular, takes a beating. Boyle conjures up the origins of a wildfire in “Ash Monday,” where ferocious Santa Ana winds whip by at as much as 100 miles an hour. Up the coast, in Ventura County, a courier delivering a
time-sensitive, harvested liver “packed in a bag of ice slurry inside a Bud Light Fun-in-the-Sun cooler” finds the road blocked by a mudslide. The only California-esque natural disaster missing is an earthquake. Of course, Boyle’s characters cause enough seismic waves in their daily lives. One 35-year-old woman, believing she’s past her prime, throws herself at her plastic surgeon. The widower of “Thirteen Hundred Rats” thinks rodents might make better companions than dogs. (He’s wrong.) Then there’s the embittered 26-yearold in “The Lie,” saddled with baby, wife and job, who tells a series of lies to avoid his responsibilities. Despite a misstep near the end of the book, especially the inclusion and placement of the story “Three Quarters of the Way to Hell,” a corny tale with a great title, Boyle’s dominant focus with this collection is on the delicate balance between nature and civilization. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Boyle’s wondrous novella-length title story, a reimaging of the true tale of Victor of Aveyron, a feral child discovered in the forest during the rule of Napoleon. “Wild Child” is one fascinating saga. Boyle pits this “enfant sauvage” against culture, refinement and celebrity. Most impressive is how skillfully he gives Victor flesh and blood, as well as moments of genuine warmth and rage. Abandoned by his family at an incredibly early age — a scar on the boy’s neck suggests he was nearly slain — he’s captured, escapes, then gets captured again. Eventually he’s taken to Paris and overseen by a doctor who hopes to teach him language. But Victor rarely speaks. The boy scrambles up trees. He steals, relieves himself at will and irritates his protector with his nagging desire to be outside, wild and free. At 40, when he dies, perhaps he gets there, and by then Boyle has quietly worked his perceptive magic, proving that Victor had own unique form of humanity. Boyle leaves us, as usual, wanting more of that magic. And it’s a pretty good bet that we’ll get it.

iPad offers publishers a pricing edge By Motoko Rich New York Times News Service
With a few notable exceptions, the print world welcomed Apple’s new iPad on Wednesday, eager to tap into the 125 million customers who already have iTunes accounts and are predisposed to buying more content from Apple. “We have learned that it is never wise to stand between a consumer and a preference” for how they get their content, said John Makinson, the chief executive of Penguin Group, the book publisher. The iPad may offer an even more attractive prospect: the chance to reset the downward spiral in e-book prices.
When Steve Jobs announced the new iBooks app, he said five of the six largest publishers — Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster— had signed on to provide ebook content for the new tablet. In negotiations with Apple, publishers agreed to a business model that gives them more power over the price that customers pay for e-books. Publishers had all but lost that power on Amazon.com’s Kindle e-reader. With Apple, under a formula that tethers the maximum ebook price to the print price on the same book, publishers will be able to charge $12.99 to $14.99 for most general fiction and nonfic-
Edwards aide’s book details trail of hush money By Mike Baker The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — Dealing with a pregnant mistress and a suspicious wife, John Edwards and a close aide agreed by the middle of 2007 to solicit funds from a wealthy widow who had promised to “do whatever it takes” to make him president, according to the former confidant’s new book. Bunny Mellon, the widow of banking heir Paul Mellon, began sending checks “for many hundreds of thousands of dollars” hidden in boxes of chocolates, according to “The Politician” by former Edwards aide Andrew Young. The tell-all account describes how Young took the money and used it to keep mistress Rielle Hunter happy, hiding her from the media and a cancer-stricken Elizabeth Edwards. Young claims the former vice presidential nominee later said he didn’t know anything about the cash, even though the two discussed the matter, and the cash began arriving soon after Edwards made a call to Mellon.
Details of probe “The Politician” has received a lot of attention because of its racy details about the affair, the crumbling Edwards marriage and the candidate’s efforts to keep the paternity of his child with the mistress hidden. John Edwards has finally admitted that he was the father of the girl, who is now almost 2 years old. But Young’s reckoning also contains some of the most detailed information about a hanging question for Edwards’ future: an ongoing federal grand jury probe into his campaign’s finances. Prosecutors have refused to comment about the investigation, but Young says he spent hours testifying to the grand jury about the “huge sums of money that had quietly changed hands” during the campaign. Hunter has also made an appearance at the federal courthouse in Raleigh where the grand jury is meeting. Edwards has said that he is “confident that no funds from my campaign were used improperly.” Mellon, now 99, had promised to give money to Edwards’ political groups even before the affair began and eventually gave a total of $6 million for Edwards’ causes, according to Young’s book. Edwards’ political action committee paid Hunter’s production company $100,000 in 2006 for her to work as a videographer to follow around the candidate as he prepared for his second quest for the White House. Months afterward, in April 2007, the PAC received $14,000 from Edwards’ presidential campaign and then paid a similar amount to Hunter’s production company. Later cash destined for Hunter originated directly from Mellon checks that were sent to Young, with notes discussing her contributions to “the confederacy.” Other distributions came directly from Edwards’ former campaign finance chairman Fred Baron, including a FedEx envelope of $1,000 and a note that read: “Old
Chinese proverb: Use cash, not credit cards.” Young said federal prosecutors pressed him last year for details on the names, dates, amounts of the disbursements, “and just who knew what, when.”
Campaign donations? The longtime aide contends in the book that Mellon did not know what the money was being used for, and he argues that the funds “were gifts, entirely proper, and not subject to campaign finance laws.” Joe Sinsheimer, a Democratic government watchdog in Raleigh who is following the case, disagrees. He believes the private exchanges of money described in the book and used to shuttle Young and Hunter around the country should have been classified as campaign donations. “Baron and Mellon gave the money because they wanted to protect the candidacy of John Edwards for president,” Sinsheimer said. “Therefore, the money should be classified as campaign monies.” Mellon’s attorney, Alexander Forger, said he has also testified before the grand jury, while Mellon has been interviewed by prosecutors. He said Young repeatedly pursued Mellon for money, at one point suggesting she mortgage her farm to get cash, but that she didn’t know where the money was going. “She made a personal gift to the senator,” Forger said. “She filed a gift tax return. She intended it for his personal use, and had no understanding of what his need was and where the money would go.” Baron, who died in October 2008, had said that he paid to help Hunter and Young to protect them from public scrutiny.
Political implications The money seemed to have political implications for Edwards: According to Young, Edwards asked him before the presidential primaries to take public responsibility for Hunter’s pregnancy, and to take his family and the mistress and disappear. Baron would let him use his private jet and pay for expenses, Edwards told Young. To convince Young to take the fall, Edwards appealed to their friendship, Elizabeth’s failing health and a cause that is “bigger than any one of us,” Young quoted Edwards as saying. And later, with Young growing restless because Edwards hadn’t come forward to set the record straight, Baron asked the aide to “hold on until August” — when the Democratic National Convention would be — and expected that Edwards would be a big player in the next administration. Soon after, Baron wired “several hundred thousand dollars” to the builder of Young’s home to help with the expenses. As for Edwards, Young described the candidate as someone who wanted his hands clean from the money. He claimed that Edwards wanted the arrangement with Mellon to remain private so that the former trial lawyer would have “plausible deniability.”
tion titles — higher than the common $9.99 price that Amazon had effectively set for new releases and best-sellers. Apple will keep 30 percent of each sale, and publishers will take 70 percent. One book publisher did not sign on to the iPad: Random House, the world’s largest publisher of trade books. Stuart Applebaum, a Random House spokesman, said the company would “look forward to our continuing conversations” with Apple. In the short term, authors and publishers will most likely earn less from book sales on the iPad. On the Kindle, Amazon subsidizes the $9.99 price by paying publishers a higher wholesale price equivalent to what book-
sellers typically pay for print editions. But publishers were concerned that Amazon, as the dominant player, would eventually demand lower digital wholesale prices. Amazon and others are likely to continue selling e-books through the Apple app store even after the iBooks app arrives. No publisher wanted to discuss publicly what would happen if Amazon and others continued to charge $9.99 for new releases. But once Apple begins selling e-books at a higher price, publishers could withhold titles if Amazon continues to discount books to $9.99. Antitrust attorneys suggested there could be legal complica-
tions if Amazon claimed that publishers were colluding to set prices, or dictating prices to retailers, which is illegal under a 2007 Supreme Court decision. Newspapers had mixed reactions to the iPad. Martin Nisenholtz, senior vice president for digital operations of The New York Times Co., said the combination of iPad and app “joins the best of print with the best of digital.” But Christian Hendricks, the vice president for interactive media at McClatchy, which publishes The Miami Herald and The Kansas City Star, said, “We haven’t seen tremendous interest as far as demand for newspaper subscriptions on it.”

Apple’s new iPad may be just the device publishers have been looking for to reverse the downward trend in e-book prices. Under the terms of a deal with Apple, they’ll be able to charge $12.99 to $14.99 for most general fiction and nonfiction titles.

Rover Continued from F1 The plight of the Spirit has motivated people to send e-mail messages suggesting how to get it out. The most common advice is that the Spirit should use its instrument arm, located at the back, to lift and push itself out like a backhoe. John Callas, the project manager for Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, said, however, that engineers had calculated that the arm could exert less than onetenth the force needed. Officials decided that even if Spirit could extricate itself, with two bad wheels, its best driving days were past. The Spirit, designed to last three months, has survived for more than six years. “It’s kind of a poignant moment for us,” said Steven Squyres, the mission’s principal investigator.
Mission managers will focus in the coming weeks on trying to get the rover’s solar panels pointed more toward the sun. As the Martian winter approaches, the shorter days will mean less energy, and the rover will most likely exhaust its batteries. The rover is programmed to put itself into a deep sleep, and it was designed to survive the frigid cold. “She was designed to go through this, but again I’ll caution this was for a brand-new rover,” said Callas. The beginning of the Martian winter is in May, and the NASA officials are hoping that the Spirit can resume its science activities in August or September, conducting radio and atmospheric studies that were not possible when it was moving. Precise radio measurements could pin down wobbles in Mars’ axis of rotation, and that could tell whether the center of the planet is liquid or solid.

‘L AST TRAIN FROM HIROSHIMA’
Screaming horses, broken minds tell story of A-bombs By Jeffrey Burke Bloomberg News
The hand-drawn illustrations of origami cranes that open “The Last Train From Hiroshima” are the only truly pleasant thing the book offers. I don’t mean to say Charles Pellegrino has written poorly in this account of people affected by the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in August 1945. The human suffering is as unavoidable as it is incalculable. It comes with large doses of science that can be heavy going. And of course, the knowledge that we live in an era of nuclear proliferation hangs over every page. That last point highlights the value of this sort of unpleasantness. Pellegrino sets out to capture experiences of dozens of people caught within the devastation zones of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Using physics and forensic archaeology, he details the workings of the bombs and their many effects on living and inanimate things. He follows several survivors closely during the aftermath, with special interest in those who lived through both attacks. Pellegrino says there were about 30 of those, of which one, an engineer named Tsutomu Yamaguchi, died earlier this month at age 93, according to his obituary in the New York Times. For many, death came quickly. Pellegrino writes that a Mrs. Aoyama, who happened to be right below the detonation’s Point Zero, had “one of the fastest deaths in all human history.
For author Gaiman, year brings trials and triumphs
Before a single nerve could begin to sense pain, she and her nerves ceased to be.” Others endured extensive burns, shrapnel-type injuries, radiation sickness. Some experienced suffering one can only hope was cushioned by shock, like the man heard making “a rhythmic clicking on the road surface as if he were dancing down the street with metal taps on his shoes,” Pellegrino writes. “But he wore no shoes. In fact, his feet were gone and the bony stilts of two tibiae — chipping and fracturing with each step against the pavement — were the source of the tapping.” A young girl had this picture etched into memory: “the screams of the horses as they broke free from the stables and ran toward her with flames leaping from their backs.” Pellegrino, a scientific consultant on James Cameron’s movie “Avatar” and his Titanic expeditions, has written books that dissect the myth and fact in subjects such as Pompeii and Atlantis. Here he is often, like a pathologist, coolly descriptive, yet he depicts with compassion some of the psychological damage. Besides survivor’s guilt, some never forgave themselves for not helping others, even when they could have done little. Many books have been written by and about the bombing victims since John Hersey’s 1946 profile of six survivors in “Hiroshima.” Pellegrino’s effort may be the first to combine science and memories comprehensively.
Neil Gaiman isn’t always happy with Hollywood — he was bitter about the way Paramount handled “Stardust,” for example — but the box-office success of “Coraline” was a triumph during a tumultuous year for the award-winning author.
By Geoff Boucher Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Neil Gaiman knows that the best stories must be both bitter and sweet — he is, after all, the author of “The Graveyard Book,” the tender children’s novel that opens with a nasty knife murder. Still, the 49-year-old Brit sounds dazed when he reflects on the past year of his life. “I had a really strange year,” the author said in a faraway voice. “I was leading up to the writing of an ‘Anansi Boys’ screenplay (based on my 2005 novel), which begins with an incredibly funny sequence where the protagonist’s father keels over from a surprise heart attack. And as I was doing that, my father keeled over and died of a surprise heart attack. It’s not terribly funny though, is it?”

“It left me just completely stilled for about nine months. It was very weird. ... I’ve never really had much time or patience with writer’s block.” — Neil Gaiman, on the death of his father
Dealing with loss The death of David Gaiman in March left his son searching for words. As the weeks passed, though, the writer was met with blank screens, blank pages and a blank stare in the mirror. The author of “Coraline,” “American Gods,” “Stardust” and the comicbook epic “The Sandman” was suddenly unable to conjure up those apparitions of imagination that had made him a signature figure in fantasy circles. “It left me just completely stilled for about nine months,” Gaiman said. “It was very weird. ... I’ve never really had much time or patience with writer’s block. I think sometimes you need a period of just healing and distance before you can say, ‘Yeah, I’m ready to do that now.’” Gaiman is also mourning the potential loss of a highly anticipated film project: “The Graveyard Book” adaptation that was to be written and directed by Neil Jordan (“The Brave One,” “The Crying Game” and “Interview with the Vampire”) has fallen apart on the financing front. It’s a demoralizing setback for Gaiman, who had announced Jordan’s participation last Janu-
ary on “The Today Show.” It may all still happen, but it added to a year of tumult for the author. Gaiman has a spotty history with Hollywood, but he’s clearly fascinated by its career upsides. He was publicly bitter that the 2007 film adaptation of his “Stardust,” starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro, wasn’t marketed by Paramount Pictures as a clever-but-winking fairy tale in the vein of “The Princess Bride.” But last year, Gaiman was over the moon with Henry Selick’s acclaimed stop-action interpretation of “Coraline,” which grossed $122 million worldwide and earned strong reviews. Gaiman also co-wrote the screenplay for “Beowulf,” the 2007 film from director Robert Zemeckis.
High hopes for films Born in Portchester, England, Gaiman lives in a rambling old manse in Minnesota; he and his fiancee attended this year’s Golden Globe Awards. “Coraline” was nominated for best animated film, and the author of the source material was dazzled and amused by his red carpet experi-
ence. He found himself sharing a banquet room with George Lucas, Paul McCartney and Mike Tyson — an experience, he said, that was just like real life but entirely different. “They definitely were all there, you were not hallucinating,” Gaiman said with a chuckle. “There was also Mickey Rourke in a cowboy hat, Meryl Streep threatening to rename herself ‘T Bone.’” Gaiman has high hopes that a long list of his creations on the page will live and breathe on the screen. His “Sandman” would seem like natural fantasy property for comic-book-obsessed Hollywood studios. The author is also optimistic that “The Graveyard Book” project has not truly given up the ghost: “It’s a natural, that’s why Jordan wanted to do it in the first place; he knew that someone was going to do it.” So what’s next for the writer? The big goal is completing that “Anansi Boys” script and getting past the emotional connection it has to his father’s death. “It would be a nice way to put that story to rest,” he said, “and put what happened to rest.”
A strong start for mystery series “City of Dragons” by Kelli Stanley; Minotaur (352 pgs., $24.99)
By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (South Florida)
Unconventional characters provide the backbone of the mystery genre. And Kelli Stanley’s riveting new series about 1940s San Francisco private investigator Miranda Corbie revels in the character’s uniqueness without resorting to cliches. Miranda’s former life as an “escort,” a euphemistic attempt to soften that she sometimes was a prostitute, is only part of the back story of this complex character with a dark past. The gritty, hard-boiled “City of Dragons” works as an insightful look at racism and sexism. Stanley never misses a beat as she also shows San Francisco’s hidden corners, seething emotions in the days before World War II. On this bright February day in 1940, San Francisco is alive with fireworks and crowds as the city celebrates the Chinese New Year with the Rice Bowl Party. This year, the three-day carnival is a fundraiser for China’s war relief. The horrors of The Rape of Nanking — the Japanese capture of the Chinese city — have emotions running high, especially in Chinatown. Miranda is outraged about Nanking, but her sense of justice also is outraged when the cops tell her to forget about finding the body of Eddie Takahashi, a young Japanese man who was a numbers runner. But Miranda can’t forget about his death, especially when she tracks down his close-knit family. Her own investigation leads her to some of the city’s most insidious criminals. Stanley’s first novel was the award-winning “Nox Dormienda,” which was set in the aftermath of the Roman conquest of Britain in 83 A.D. But with “City of Dragons,” Stanley has found a more accessible niche, showing a side of San Francisco not often explored with an original character as a guide.

Why capital matters to banks Explaining assets and liabilities, and what closed two area banks in the past year By Andrew Moore
B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF
The Bulletin
Though only three major airlines have reported their 2009 fourth-quarter and full-year results so far, already there are some eye-popping numbers in what the industry calls “other revenue.� That’s where you see why the five largest carriers just raised their fees again for checked bags, and why all carriers are working diligently to find more revenue from sources other than selling tickets. According to a statement by the airlines’ trade group, the Air Transport Association, 2009 passenger revenue declined 18 percent compared with 2008. That decline is the largest on record. The airlines’ ability to find ancillary revenue, however, has helped ease the sting. IdeaWorks, a consulting firm, looked at what five airlines (American, Continental, Delta, United, and US Airways) will gain from raising checkedbag fees by just a few dollars this month. Alone, it will mean about $117 million in additional revenue for the five carriers this year, IdeaWorks estimates.
Startup sees promise in gene tests for all REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A Silicon Valley startup is making the bold claim that it can help eradicate more than 100 genetic diseases by alerting parents-to-be who have the carrier genes. The company, Counsyl, is selling a test that it says can tell couples whether they are at risk of having children with a range of inherited diseases, including cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, spinal muscular atrophy, sickle cell disease and Pompe disease. Such testing is done now, but only for a few diseases and only for certain ethnic groups. Tests can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Counsyl’s test, which analyzes DNA from saliva, costs up to $698, for a couple. Experts caution, however, that it is too soon to know how accurate Counsyl’s tests actually are.
30-year loans flat Rates on 30-year mortgages remained almost flat last week as the Federal Reserve said it would keep rates near record lows to help the economy recover. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.98 percent, down slightly from 4.99 percent the week before, Freddie Mac said Thursday. Last year at this time, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 5.10 percent. Rates held around 5 percent by a Federal Reserve program to pump $1.25 trillion into mortgage-backed securities to try to keep rates low and make home buying more affordable. The Fed said it still expects to end the program as scheduled on March 31. However, the central bank did say that it remains open to changing that timetable if necessary. — From wire reports

When Columbia River Bank was ordered closed Jan. 22 by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, the state said the bank had been “experiencing critically low levels of capital, and ultimately, became insolvent.� Immediately after the closure, the bank was sold by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to Tacoma, Wash.-based Columbia State Bank and no deposits were lost. Prineville-based Community First Bank also was closed for critically low levels of capital last August, then sold to Home Federal Bank of Nampa, Idaho.

“Community banks have done really well maintaining deposits ... but where the challenges are is the impact to capital that comes from a really tough economy and real estate environment.� — Linda Navarro, Oregon Bankers Association important to regulators? At its most basic, capital is what’s left after a bank’s liabilities are subtracted from its assets, banking experts say. For example, a bank with $40 million in assets and $35 million in liabilities has $5 million in capital. In banking, loans are assets, because they generate interest income, and deposits are liabilities, because they are an obligation to repay depositors.
Banks also list a number of other items as assets, including buildings, business equipment, cash and certain investment securities. So what does capital do? It helps protect a bank, explained Jeff Judy, a Minneapolis-based banking consultant who teaches at the Seattle-based Pacific Coast Banking School, a financial boot camp for bankers run by the University of Washington.

ews of Facebook’s decision to build a data center in Prineville spread so quickly on the Internet on Jan. 21 that news organizations, technology experts and millions of Facebook users throughout the world — not to mention the thousands of locals in Prineville — knew the details of the project by day’s end. So did a firm considering construction of a data center of its own. Shortly after Facebook announced its project, Jill Miles, the national recruitment officer for Business Oregon, the state’s business development department, received a call from a firm curious about building a center in Oregon. It called because it had heard that Facebook was coming to Prineville, where it plans to open its data center by 2011. “What Facebook is going to do is make people within that industry, people in the technology industry, take notice,� Miles said. “(Prineville is) going to get instant exposure.� Miles knows that from experience. The day in 2005 that Google announced it would build a data center in The Dalles, Miles received three calls from other large companies interested in constructing data centers. See Facebook / G5

Weighing tax impacts
O
regon’s passage last week of Measures 66 and 67 generated a mixed reaction from a sampling of area businesses: from another bump in the road to a death spiral to no big deal to uncertainty of their impact. One thing that’s clear: Accountants and other tax preparers will field a lot of questions from clients. Measure 66 raised the personal income tax on joint filers with taxable income of at least $250,000 and single filers with taxable income of at least $125,000, which will hit many business owners. Measure 67 raised the minimum corporate tax from $10 to $150, and it taxes C corporations that aren’t profitable on their Oregon sales or, if they are profitable, on their net income, with the tax rate rising if taxable income exceeds $250,000. C corps will pay whichever is higher: the tax on profits or the tax on sales. S corporations’ taxes move from $10 to $150, and partnerships and LLCs will pay $150. Both measures are retroactive to 2009. Most of the seven businesses I queried were concerned about the taxes, particularly 67, and uncertain what the real impact will be. One supported 67. Bob Thomas, president of Bend-based Bob Thomas Car Co., said of 67: “This fits right in that category, one more thing to overcome. It’s a very slow market, and added expense at this time is hard to shoulderâ€? and will be especially hard on high-volume, low-margin businesses like his, he said. Thomas estimated his taxes will rise at least $30,000. “We’re glad to do our part, but ‌ (there) ought to be a more equitable way to do this,â€? Thomas said. That’s a theme I heard: Businesses don’t mind paying taxes on profits, but feel 67 is misguided, particularly taxing sales for companies that have no profits. Dave Rink, owner of D.E. Rink Construction Inc. in Bend, is fine paying a new corporate minimum of $150 and he’d be happy to pay $200 or $300 because he knows the state’s hurting. He also doesn’t mind paying taxes on profits. But “if you don’t make any profit, why would someone come in and tax me on my losses?â€? General contractors are lucky to have a 1 percent profit margin today, he said. His revenue’s about half of what it was in the peak years. “I’m probably going to barely break even this year,â€? he said, noting the firm’s overhead, its six employees, and the roughly 150 subcontractors he helps support. “We’re going to make it, but if I have to come up with $10,000 or $15,000 on my gross revenues, which don’t have any profits, that’s going to hurt.â€? Dallas Stovall, president of Bright Wood Corp. in Madras, which makes wood components for windows, doors and furniture, fears the measures’ fallout. With 66 and 67, Oregon will lose corporations en masse and, as a result, tax revenue is going to decline, he said in an e-mail. “Oregon unemployment will go up and I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t hit 18-20%.â€? “I agree with (Nike Chairman) Phil Knight, this is a death spiral for Oregon business and it won’t take long for us to be in the same boat as California, declining revenue with out of control entitlement growth,â€? Stovall wrote. Rhonda Ealy, co-owner of Strictly Organic Coffee Co. in Bend, backed the measures, largely to support schools. As an S corp, her tax will increase from $10 to $150. It’s unusual for states to have no sales tax and a low minimum corporate tax, “so something had to give,â€? she said. “There’s a lot of confusion as to what this means, (but) I think people are going to be really relieved when they see what it actually is,â€? Ealy said. “Corporations have really had a heyday in Oregon for a very long time and now it’s time to play catch-up.â€? Gary Fish, president of Deschutes Brewery Inc. in Bend, was told by his accountant to expect a $30,000- to $60,000a-year tax hit, money that would have gone toward company growth. “I look at it as one bump in the road for us,â€? Fish said. “Like everything else, we’ll move on and deal with it and do the best we can.â€? But he’s disappointed with the Legislature. “They don’t appear to understand how the private sector actually works and that’s frustrating and disappointing.â€? The real problem is Oregon’s tax system, which BendBroadband President and CEO Amy Tykeson mentioned. “Like President Obama said, higher taxes during a recession will not help drive jobs or investment — both fundamental to recovery,â€? she wrote. “So I am disappointed that Oregon has not progressed in doing the heavy lifting on tax reform that is essential for long-term economic vitality.â€? She’s not alone. Reform is long overdue. John Stearns, business editor, can be reached at 541-617-7822 or at jstearns@bendbulletin.com.

For Super Bowl XLIV advertisers, synergy’s the name of the game
With eyes on the Hilton, Holiday Inn remakes itself
By Stuart Elliott
The Philadelphia Inquirer
New York Times News Service
As companies nationwide slash their travel budgets, Holiday Inn is pushing hard to capture a larger share of the corporate market from more expensive and upscale rivals such as the Hiltons, the Sheratons and the Marriotts. As part of a global brand relaunching by the parent company, InterContinental Hotels Group, the world’s largest hotel firm, Holiday Inn hotels have been decluttering their lobbies, revamping rooms and retraining employees. The effort started in April and is set to conclude at the end of this year. It is the largest relaunch ever undertaken in the industry, experts say, based on the total number of rooms involved (427,102 worldwide) and total cost ($1 billion), which is being financed by the individual hotel owners. Changes focus on four components: first impression (a sense of arrival at check-in); the experience; the room, and the service. Inns that can’t meet the new requirements will eventually be forced out of the InterContinental Hotel system, representatives said.
For millions of football fans, the Super Bowl is the biggest social occasion of the year. That is becoming the case for Super Bowl advertisers, too, as they add a robust presence in social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to their marketing lineups. Years ago, the purchase of a commercial during the game was accompanied by not much more than promotions and a publicity campaign. That changed with the rise of the Internet as an ad medium as sponsors started supplementing Super Bowl buys in ways that included special Web sites, video clips and search-engine marketing. Now, “we’re probably in the 3.0 phase of how to think about the Super Bowl,” said Jim Lecinski, a managing director in the Chicago office of Google, which owns YouTube, as advertisers capitalize on the growth of social media to promote the spots they intend to run in the game and give them a life beyond Super Bowl Sunday. YouTube plans for a third year to offer its Super Bowl Ad Blitz channel, where consumers can watch all the commercials after the game. For Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7, a contest to select viewers’ favorite spots will receive more prominence on the YouTube home page, Lecinski said, and “there will be a user gadget to embed the videos across an array of social sites like Facebook.” In a survey by Venables Bell & Partners in San Francisco, which is creating a commercial for Audi to appear during Super Bowl XLIV, 41 percent of respondents said they would re-watch the spots online on Web sites like AOL, Yahoo and YouTube. And 26 percent of respondents said they planned to pass on their favorite commercials to friends and family through e-mail messages or social media sites. “That’s the way you have to go to market now,” said Kathy O’Brien, vice president for personal care at the Unilever United States office in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. “The Super Bowl is an element of a complete, 360-degree campaign.” Unilever United States is buying a 45-second spot in the game — created by the Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide unit of WPP — for a new line of products named Dove
Trade group worried over new jobs plan The Washington Post President Barack Obama’s plan to combat the country’s doubledigit unemployment rate hinges on a package of small-business loans and tax incentives that some company owners worry won’t be enough to spur hiring. Similar proposals have already been considered by Congress and discarded. And a main trade group for small businesses says that even if the package materializes, it expects the impact to be marginal at best. “We are skeptical,” said Bill Rys, tax counsel for the National Federation of Independent Business. “Until you have customers coming in the door, you’re going to have less of a reason to hire.” In his State of the Union address last week, Obama outlined these central proposals aimed at small businesses: eliminating the capital gains tax, bolstering lending with $30 billion in federal rescue money, and establishing tax credits for new hires and for investments in equipment and facilities. The White House plans to ask Congress to modify the law so that the banks taking aid to help small businesses would not face restrictions, such as limits on executive pay. But Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., the chairwoman of the House Committee on Small Business, wasn’t convinced the program would work. “All of the efforts so far have focused on helping banks, and yet small businesses still can’t find affordable loans,” she said.
The Associated Press
Denny’s 2010 Super Bowl advertising campaign includes this TV spot, but also an extensive social media operation that extends the life of its chicken characters in “webisodes” that will play on the restaurant chain’s Facebook and Twitter pages. “We’re probably in the 3.0 phase of how to think about the Super Bowl,” said Jim Lecinski of Google, which owns YouTube, as advertisers capitalize on the growth of social media to give their TV spots a life beyond Super Bowl Sunday. Men+Care. The commercial is to be complemented by blog posts, O’Brien said, as well as presences on Facebook and Twitter. “During the Super Bowl, we’re going to use Twitter to engage the audience in real time by reaching out to people Tweeting,” she added, “and urging them to watch our commercial again.” Similarly, the E*Trade Financial Group will turn to venues like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to promote a 30-second commercial the company intends to run in the game. The spot, featuring a new infant to portray the E*Trade talking baby character, is created by Grey New York, part of the Grey Group division of WPP. “There are new-media leverage opportunities to take advantage of,” said Nick Utton, chief marketing officer at the New York office of E*Trade, that will extend beyond what the company did for Super Bowl XLIII. Although last year’s efforts produced “very favorable results,” Utton said, “we’ve ramped up our act dramatically” by taking steps that include an initiative called BabyMail, produced by a New York agency named Oddcast. It will begin on Feb. 5 and enable visitors to a Web site to send e-mail messages using voices that simulate baby talk.
“In the old days, the only way to see the ads was to watch on television,” Utton said. “Now, all the pieces work synergistically.” The Volkswagen of America unit of the German automaker Volkswagen plans a campaign with social media and digital elements to begin after its commercial appears during the Super Bowl. The 30-second spot will be the first from the brand’s new agency, the Los Angeles office of Deutsch, part of the Interpublic Group of Cos. “A couple of years ago,” said Mike Murphy, vice president for global sales at Facebook, a presence in social media was “more about experimentation: ‘I want to check the box on Facebook.’” “Now, it’s more about strategy,” he added, as “we’re becoming more mainstream and core.” Among the brands advertising during Super Bowl XLIV that have Facebook fan pages are Audi, Bud Light, Coca-Cola, Denny’s, Dodge, Doritos and Hyundai. Doritos, sold by the Frito-Lay division of PepsiCo, is promoting on its fan page a contest to help select three commercials created by consumers that will appear during Super Bowl XLIV. The increasing role social media is playing for Super Bowl sponsors is echoed by efforts to include mobile marketing in the

media mix. For example, two clients of Usablenet, a mobile company in New York, are buying spots on Feb. 7. They are Dockers, sold by Levi Strauss & Co., and Kia, part of Hyundai Motor of South Korea. “If you’re spending lots of money bringing people to an online experience, the mobile experience should be comparable” on devices like Android phones, BlackBerrys and iPhones, said Jason Taylor, a vice president at Usablenet. That is particularly true for the Super Bowl, he added, because many people watching the game “are not at home and don’t have their computers with them, so a natural place for them to turn to is their mobile phones.” Hospice Home Health Hospice House Transitions

Apparel Continued from G1 “You can NOT see any logo — I would move it to the bottom in the future!” he types. Then: “Let’s get out to see this stuff!” Such intensity is how the 37year-old Plank built a worldwide business with 2,700 employees and revenue approaching $1 billion. It is why he constantly flies around the world to sporting events. It’s why he develops new products, finds sports celebrities to promote them and seeks a bigger audience to buy them — from Europe to China. It’s also why he pays universities such as Auburn to feature his products, the schools serving as both laboratory and showcase for Under Armour. Plank works endlessly to give Under Armour an edge, and his deals to outfit university sports teams are a crucial part of his battle to win customers from the established big guys. Think Adidas, Reebok and Nike — especially Nike, which outfits more than 100 colleges, compared with Under Armour’s 50 or so. “You need to put your hands around the throat of your business, and you need to run it,” he told a group of Auburn students earlier that day. “There’s no other way.” Plank knows he needs to create wealth for shareholders, himself included, and keep Wall Street confident that Under Armour has a future as a successful stand-alone business. If he doesn’t, it could become a takeover target, pressuring Plank to sell his controlling share to a bigger rival or even a private equity firm. “The time between $500 million and $1 billion is a weird time, a dead zone,” Plank says. He refers to eyewear-maker Oakley and sports apparel firm Nautica — both were gobbled up by bigger companies, although both brands still exist. “It’s the Bermuda Triangle of apparel companies. Companies get caught ...” He’s determined that’s not going to happen to Under Armour.
Entrepreneurial gene Plank grew up in Kensington, Md., where his mother was the mayor and his father was a developer. He was the youngest of five brothers, a self-starter who showed up at neighborhood doors with a shovel or rake in the hope of making a few bucks. “You kind of have that bug,” he says. He was born with the entrepreneurial gene, not the academic one. Being thrown out of prep school in his sophomore year for academic reasons, he says, was one of his first breaks. He was recruited to play football by St. John’s College High School in Washington, where he fell in with players such as Chris Harrison and Jay Williams, who later preached the Under Armour gospel in NFL locker rooms. From grammar school through the University of Maryland, Plank always hustled. He parked cars, sold T-shirts and bracelets at Grateful Dead concerts, pumped beer at the Kemper Open golf tournament and made thousands of dollars running a campus flower delivery business at U-Md. Plank also dreamed of opening a chain of crab cake restaurants. Instead, he pursued an idea for a novel shirt that he thought would make him and his friends better football players. A walk-on who played on the field goal, punting and kicking teams for Maryland, Plank decided that traditional cotton T-shirts soaked up too
Showdown in South Carolina Steve Battista, 35, stands on the sideline as South Carolina prepares to take on heavily favored University of Florida. The November 2009 game, in front of 79,297 fans at the Gamecocks’ Williams-Brice Stadium and televised nationally on CBS, was important. South Carolina is an Under Armour school. Florida wears the Nike swoosh. “This is why you do the deal, to be on the field with the No. 1 team in the country,” says Battista, Under Armour senior vice president of brand. The Under Armour family roots for its teams, and leading the cheering is founder much sweat. He started hunting for material that would wick the sweat from his body to make him lighter and faster. When he found what he thought would work at a Minnesota Fabrics store, he carried the microfiber cloth to a tailor, held up a T-shirt and the material, and asked, “Can you make one of these from this?” Seven prototypes and $450 later, he had what he wanted: a body-hugging shirt that wicked away sweat so a football player didn’t need to change shirts every quarter. With $17,000 from his campus flower business, he started his company, ordering 500 shirts. It was 1995, and Plank was 23. From a rowhouse in Georgetown owned by his grandmother, Plank marketed his shirts as the go-to garment for the young crowd. Word about the gear started trickling out. The Atlanta Falcons called for some shirts. So did the New York Giants. The merchandise was picked up by sports apparel catalogs such as Eastbay. Revenue began to grow, from $17,000 in 1996 to $100,000 in 1997 and then to $1.3 million in 1999. Players on school and professional teams with contracts with Nike or other rivals began demanding Under Armour clothing.
In Nike’s cross hairs A turning point came in late 1999, when Under Armour placed a $25,000 half-page advertisement in ESPN magazine showing a sweaty, rippled Rasheed Simmons, a photogenic former teammate of Plank’s at Maryland who became the first face of Under Armour. Plank said it spurred $1 million in direct sales the next year, “one of those pivotal moments that made the company.” Athletes and teams were starting to buy. Now was the time to go after the general public, to
Kevin Plank, pacing the sideline a few feet away. The purpose of the gathering is to play a college football game, but the back story is a marketing showdown, UA vs. archrival Nike, based in Beaverton. The more UA teams win, the farther they advance, the more television exposure they get, the bigger bang Plank gets for his sponsorship dollar. The game starts, and Florida scores a quick touchdown. A rout may be under way, but South Carolina drives 84 yards in 14 plays to tie the score at 7 all. Florida leads 17-14 at halftime, a moral victory so far for South Carolina. The Under Armour contin-
make the brand cool enough to compete with the giants. Under Armour pays well over $1 million a year — over several years — for the right to outfit the South Carolina football team. Nike does the same for the University of Florida and many other schools. The idea of taking market share from Beaverton-based Nike, as well as the other “big guys,” is still a street fight. But even with some flubs, several analysts agree that the lucrative U.S. sports apparel/ footwear market is inexorably becoming a duel between Nike and Under Armour. “I don’t know anyone who has stayed in Nike’s cross hairs and lived to tell about it, and Nike has had UA in its cross hairs for the past four to five years,” says John Horan, who publishes Sporting Goods Intelligence, an industry newsletter. Steve Battista, a senior vice president, recounts how they turned Under Armour from a cash-starved brand into a legitimate Nike rival. “We had skintight shorts and a shirt that made you look like a superhero,” Battista says. “You take a best athlete wearing a secondskin garment that looks like he just stepped out of a comic book, and that trickles down to the kid playing Pop Warner football.” Plank’s timing was perfect. Under Armour’s young, rebellious generation wanted to set itself apart from its fathers and mothers, who grew up with Nike and Reebok. To keep the brand authentic, Under Armour started by selling its products only at independent sporting goods stores and chains such as Dick’s and Modell’s, where discriminating athletes shopped. “Kevin sold a shirt to kids who played football and baseball and were very conservative,” says Mike Jacobsen, editor of Team Insight, a New York-based sports industry trade magazine. “But by

only company I can think about is Under Armour,” says Sonny Vaccaro, who helped Nike build its empire by putting its basketball shoes on celebrities such as Michael Jordan. Plank still owns 25 percent of Under Armour shares, which makes him worth at least $350 million. He also controls 77 percent of the company’s voting shares, which means he probably doesn’t have to sell the company unless he wants to. Asked if he has received any offers to sell, Plank says only that “it’s no secret there is a great deal of interest in this company.” But he says later that he isn’t going anywhere. He wants to keep building the brand. “Why sell (the company) to some weenie and watch them take it apart? Then we have to ask someone, ‘Can we leave now?’ No way.”
Bill O’Leary The Washington Post
Many signs are pointing upward for Under Armour. Although its college programs did not finish among the top 10 schools in the 2009 football season, the company is expanding its university presence, including a recent six-year, multimillion-dollar endorsement deal with Boston College. The company also hopes to make a splash at next month’s Winter Olympics. Along with Vonn and the bobsled teams, its stable of athletes runs from U.S. snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis to Swedish, U.S. and Canadian hockey players, to Canadian skiers and to the U.S. men’s and women’s freestyle ski teams. But the business world is fraught with as many uncertainties as competitive sports. The retail culture can be fickle, a product might not measure up, another upstart could jump in the game. But Plank’s passionate drive keeps him ever vigilant. “We still have plenty of opportunities to screw things up.”
gent is clearly pleased. As the third quarter rolls forward, the Under Armour staff takes heart that its team is playing Florida tough. Battista becomes focused on the South Carolina-Florida game. It’s dark now, and South Carolina, down 17-14, is mounting an impressive drive. The entire South Carolina sideline is silent and psyched. But when Florida intercepts a South Carolina pass and scores a minute later, the Under Armour team sags. Then it heads for the SUV and the airport. Nike, at least on the field, has won the day. — The Washington Post
wearing Under Armour, the kids could be rebellious within the traditional team sports.” As much as Plank tries to set himself apart from Nike, he also has pulled a lesson or two from his foe’s playbook, such as signing star athletes. Downhill skier Lindsey Vonn will wear Under Armour at the Winter Olympics in February, and Milwaukee Bucks rookie star Brandon Jennings is wearing the company’s basketball shoe this season.
Huge stakes Plank must now work on firing up his nascent footwear business, which generates less than 12 percent of current revenue, and go head to head with Nike, Adidas, New Balance and other players in the $31 billion international branded athletic footwear market. The stakes are huge; Nike has an estimated 35 percent of the market, followed by Adidas at 22 percent and Puma with just under 7 percent. If UA can grab 3 percent of the world’s athletic footwear market, companywide revenue would double. “He has to start picking fights with the big boys on their turf,” says Horan, of Sporting Goods Intelligence. Under Armour has made mistakes in pursuit of that 3 percent — a rushed football cleat in 2006, a dud in the highly competitive running shoe market in 2009 — but analysts say that now the company is getting it right. It has hired a slew of executives, including veterans from past shoe and apparel wars. Apparel sales for women, men and youth grew by double digits in the second quarter of 2009.
The key to overtaking Nike is through innovation, and many industry experts predict that Under Armour can get there. “If you asked me who could be equal to Nike in the future, the

Facebook Continued from G1 One of those turned out to be Amazon.com, which began building a facility in Boardman in 2008. And another still-unnamed company is continuing work with Miles and Business Oregon on constructing a center in Oregon. Those involved with the Facebook development say it may attract companies locally, too. The project in Prineville will catch the attention of other businesses, in part because of infrastructure developments Facebook will make, said Jason Carr, manager of the Crook County and Prineville department of Economic Development for Central Oregon. Facebook is setting up connections to fiber-optic cables and power lines and making improvements to nearby roadways, which makes the development process easier for firms who build nearby. “People will continue to research Prineville and look at the project” as Facebook moves forward with construction, Carr said. “We definitely see it as a recruitment tool and as a way to build on the path of a more diversified economy for Crook County.” Carr and his associates at EDCO have been pushing for a more diverse local economy, targeting eight to nine different industries that they want to see develop in Central Oregon, said Roger Lee, EDCO’s executive director. That keeps Central Oregon from investing too heavily in one sector, Lee said, which could leave the area in trouble if those industries suffer. That happened with general aviation when Cessna shut down its plant in Bend last year and news surfaced that Epic Air was in financial trouble. “We had all our eggs in one basket,” Lee said. “So, lesson learned.” Carr said Facebook’s location, off Tom McCall Road about four miles southeast of downtown Prineville, could work well for other large technology companies. Prineville also has other infrastructure, including an airport and a freight depot, that could appeal to various types of businesses, Carr said.
Butterfly effect of jobs If more large businesses decide to build in Prineville, it could spawn employment opportunities — not merely from those big companies, but also from support business that will help keep larger operations up and running. Whether it be individuals hired as security guards or companies that clean equipment, such as generators, larger operations like Facebook need someone to maintain their buildings and equipment, Lee said. “You need people close by to do that,” he said. Essentially, any new industry creates a butterfly effect of jobs, Lee said. Sawmills, for instance, created work for lumberjacks to cut trees, sharpeners to repair saws and truckers to transport wood, he said. “The big buzz saws are replaced by servers and generators and refrigeration systems,” Lee said. As of now, Facebook has committed to employ 35 people, the minimum number it can employ to qualify for the tax-exempt enterprise zone in which the center will be located. With the enterprise zone, Facebook will be excused from paying an estimated $2.8 million a year in local taxes on its building and equipment, though that number could rise if the construction cost increases. Facebook will be exempt from the taxes for 15 years, as long as it maintains an average annual employment of 35 people and ad-
heres to other rules. The company may employ other individuals on-site, such as private contractors who are not Facebook employees, said spokeswoman Kathleen Loughlin. It hired Bend’s Joolz restaurant to cater its announcement event on Jan. 21.
Prineville’s reaction Some of the primary reasons Facebook chose Prineville include the available tax breaks, competitively priced power and cool summer evenings and chilly winters, which help to lower cooling costs. Loughlin said other companies might follow suit for those reasons and after seeing Facebook’s commitment. “It’s definitely happened before and we wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again,” she said. Some residents have complained that the 35 jobs promised aren’t worth letting Facebook off the hook for a few million in taxes. Facebook also will be paying about $110,000 as a “community fee,” as well as multiple other city fees. Others are happy someone is investing in Crook County. Melissa Pearson, an employee at Bella Boutique, said the high unemployment rate in Crook County — 16.8 percent in December, the highest in the state — has been a damper on the mood of the community. The 200 construction jobs, and potential jobs in the future, has lifted everyone in town. “I thought it was fabulous,” Pearson said. “When this kind of news is announced, it’s exciting.” Floyd and Sherlyn Jones were hopeful the construction project and future data center would boost the local economy. Sherlyn said they have a son graduating from the software engineering program at Oregon Institute of Technology, adding that she hopes he could land one of Facebook’s jobs. “Maybe he can go to work there, live in Prineville and be close to home,” she said.
Google and The Dalles When Google opened its plant in The Dalles, many people who were hired there did move into the local community, although some commute from other areas, said Dan Durow, community development director for the city. Google’s announcement caused a spike in home prices, as new employees — and some speculators — bought up the inventory, Durow said. But prices came back down, he said. Now the Google operation has 200 employees, he said, many of whom have blended into the community. Those employees work in two buildings — 68,680 square feet each, according to site designs obtained by Harper’s Magazine — that together roughly equals the size of Facebook’s planned data center. Durow said the company and its employees have blended well with The Dalles, after some initial apprehension from the community. He said Google has donated computers to the local library, and employees have joined the Chamber of Commerce. “They’ve done a lot in the community,” Durow said. Facebook officials have expressed interest in playing a similar role in Prineville. The company announced Thursday on its Facebook page for the data center that it’s now a member of the Prineville-Crook County Chamber off Commerce. Anyone interested in applying to work as a subcontractor on the data center should visit www.facebook.com/prinevilledatacenter and click on the “notes” section.

Capital Continued from G1 “Essentially, (capital) is a cushion against potential losses,” Judy said. “If a borrower doesn’t repay, the bank has to take it out of capital to make up the shortfall.” With the collapse of real estate over the past few years, more borrowers, notably land developers and builders, have had trouble repaying construction and development loans, which have been at the heart of most community bank lending. That has forced banks to take losses on those loans, depleting their capital. The problem has been more pronounced on banks with significant loan exposure in hard-hit real estate markets like Central Oregon. Banks take customer deposits and are able to lend them, though never more than the total amount of deposits, as some money must be liquid, or readily available, for customers who wish to withdraw funds. Capital, on the other hand, can be loaned out at a rate of as much as 10 to 1, said Larry Snyder, the president and CEO of High Desert Bank in Bend. This leveraging is allowed because it’s the bank’s own money it’s lending, he said. Capital generally comes from two main sources: investment, often in the form of a stock offering, and retained earnings. Regulators require banks to keep certain amounts of capital so they don’t become insolvent, if, by chance, suddenly the loans stop paying and the banks have less in assets than they do in liabilities. A portion of capital is held in reserve and can’t be spent, said John Hall, a spokesman with the American Bankers Association in Washington, D.C. To measure whether a bank has sufficient capital, banks and their regulators use three ratios: the Tier 1 leverage ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. Each ratio is based on a different formula that calculates how much capital is on hand compared with outstanding loans. According to the FDIC, banks are considered “well capital-

ized” — the best rating — if they have ratios that are 5, 6 and 10 percent or greater. Other regulators, including the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and state banking agencies, can use different percentages when determining how well a bank is capitalized, Snyder said. Columbia River Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 2.78 percent as of Sept. 30, 2009, according to the most recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings from the bank’s parent company, The Dalles-based Columbia Bancorp. At the time of its closure, it was less than 2 percent, said Lisa Morawski, a spokeswoman for the state. According to the FDIC, that ratio made the bank “significantly undercapitalized” at the time. If the ratio falls to 2 percent or lower, the FDIC classifies a bank as “critically undercapitalized.” In good times, bank earnings help grow a bank’s capital, though shareholders often demand more of those earnings be paid out in dividends. In bad times, when earnings fall or turn negative, a bank can lose capital, as the losses eat into the bank’s capital position. If a bank needs to raise capital, it can attract new investment or it can reduce the number of outstanding loans, which helps push down the capital requirement. Snyder said his bank, in effect, shrunk last year by reducing the number of loans in order to pull back into an appropriate capital range.
High Desert Bank received a cease and desist order from regulators last month requiring it to raise its capital. Snyder said the bank has already reached the required level. But the current recession doesn’t make it easy for banks to reduce its loan numbers, as the assets underlying those loans are often worth less than the value of the loan, meaning the bank would take a loss on the loan, said Judy, the Minneapolis banking consultant. “In bad times, all those bad loans come home to roost, and you don’t have the capital to support the leverage,” Judy said. “Well, guess what? They call that FDIC-controlled.” Through Thursday, there had been nine bank closures in the U.S. so far this year. There were 140 bank closures in 2009, the most since 1992, when 181 banks failed, mostly related to the nation’s savings and loan crisis. Linda Navarro, president and CEO of the Oregon Bankers Association, said banks, and especially community banks, are not having trouble attracting and retaining deposits but are instead struggling with depleted capital.
“Community banks have done really well maintaining deposits and we haven’t seen any deposits lost, but where the challenges are is the impact to capital that comes from a really tough economy and real estate environment, so banks that need to increase capital have to find ways to raise it, but it’s tough,” Navarro said. “Banks can raise capital, and they have been successful raising capital, but it’s not readily available to every bank, but it’s definitely possible. It’s just not easy.” Bend-based Cascade Bancorp, the parent company of Bank of the Cascades, recently shelved a planned stock offering for $93 million, citing tough market conditions. But holding companies for West Coast, Umpqua and Pacific Continental banks, all of Oregon, completed stock offerings in 2009 that raised new capital, in the amount of $155 million, $246 million and $45 million, respectively. Umpqua on Jan. 22 bought a failed bank in Washington state, Evergreen Bank. Andrew Moore can be reached at 541-617-7820 or at amoore@bendbulletin.com.

S D Either maligned or adored, Subaru Forester keeps ticking
How subzero often takes a toll on the brake system
By Warren Brown
Q:
Special to The Washington Post
CORNWALL, N.Y. — Sometimes you just want reliability — a simple vehicle that does what it does well and does it repeatedly. You want the fossil-fueled version of the Timex. The watch is seldom fancy or pretty, but it will last as long as some more expensive timepieces, and it will keep time as well, R E V I E W often better, than many of them. The Timex watch exemplifies its marketing slogan: It “keeps on ticking.” The Subaru Forester is the Timex of the automobile industry. First manufactured in Japan in 1997 and brought to the United States a year later, it has grown in popularity in regions such as this, places where winter can be truly wintry and where foothills lead to mountains. But “popularity” is not the same as “acceptability.” The Forester is revered by its many loyalists, who tend to replace one Forester with another. It’s reviled by critics, who dismiss it as a household appliance, a “chick wagon” or a “girlie-man SUV.” (It’s odd how attributes such as reliability, service and economy frequently are viewed as “feminine” in the automobile business.) It is now the third generation of the Forester, which was thoroughly revised in 2009 — made larger (three inches longer) and turned into more of a compact sport utility vehicle than the little all-wheel-drive wagon it was. The 2010 model driven for this column retains the strong taste of vanilla in terms of exterior and interior styling — far more satisfying than exciting. The same holds true for road performance — perfectly competent for dryroad highway runs, accelerates well when necessary and handles well in high-speed highway traffic. But in overall demeanor and decorum, there is little about the 2010 Forester 2.5X Limited I drove here that would make a real truck man want to fall for a Forester. I don’t care. Again, sometimes all you want is reliability. And my family and I were much in need of that attribute as the chilly rain on Mine

I have a 2001 Ford Escape with the V-6 engine. When it gets below zero, I lose hydraulic assist on the brakes. The brake pedal becomes hard to push, as if you had turned the engine off. If you pump the brakes a number of times, the brakes return to normal. If the car is sitting out in the subzero cold, this happens right away. If it is parked in our garage overnight, the problem doesn’t happen until traveling on the freeway for 10 to 15 minutes; the engine compartment must cool off from the passing air. First, an important clarification. When you have this problem, your vehicle’s brakes still work. You haven’t lost the hydraulic assist on the brakes; you’ve lost the vacuum assist that helps you apply the brakes — that’s why the pedal feels so hard. But remember, even without power assist, the hydraulic brake system will still stop the vehicle — you just have to push the pedal much, much harder. The most likely culprit in the loss of vacuum assist in subfreezing temperatures is the one-way vacuum check valve in the vacuum hose between the engine’s intake manifold and the power brake booster housing. The valve is designed to open when engine vacuum is applied, allowing vacuum to the booster housing. When vacuum drops, such as during hard acceleration, the valve closes, preventing vacuum from bleeding out of the housing. Moisture or debris is likely freezing or sticking this small valve closed. Check, clean and dry the vacuum fittings, hoses, check valve and check the booster housing for vacuum leaks. A new check valve will likely solve the problem.

The 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X Limited is a dependable if not exciting ride, and its buyer base is loyal.
“Popularity” is not the same as “acceptability.” The Forester is revered by its many loyalists (and) reviled by critics, who dismiss it as a household appliance.
2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X Ltd Base price: $25,995 As tested: $30,160 Type: Front-engine, compact, car-based, all-wheel-drive crossover utility vehicle Engine: Standard 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed, fourcylinder, 16-valve engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission Mileage: 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway Hill Road became thick frozen slush coated by light snow. The soul of the Forester’s reliability is its horizontally opposed, four-cylinder, 170-horsepower engine and its symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. They work together well. “Horizontally opposed” means the engine’s cylinders are arranged side-by-side instead of in an “inline” (cylinders in a straight row) or “V” pattern. The side-by-side cylinder arrangement reduces engine weight and saves space under the hood. That more efficient packaging offers certain benefits — better fuel economy via lower weight and better vehicle balance via a lower center of gravity because of the engine’s more ideal placement in the vehicle’s body. Subaru’s symmetrical allwheel-drive system takes advantage of the Forester’s engine de-
sign and layout. By designing the Forester (and all other Subaru models) to be all-wheel drive from the ground up, Subaru gave its customers an all-wheel-drive system that shifts power symmetrically, side to side, pretty much assuring that one wheel is gripping when another is slipping. Excellent vehicle balance in combination with excellent traction is hard to beat when weather combines with road design — narrow foothill roads with deep drops on either side, covered with thickening slush — to assure that there will be some slipping at some point somewhere, as there was on this trip. The Forester responded expertly — gripping as needed when needed; preventing short turns into skids from becoming longer, more dangerous skids; and handling potentially upsetting vehicle weight transfers with aplomb. I like that kind of performance, that sort of reliability. And I suppose that’s why the Forester’s buyer base, a key branch of the Subaru family, remains as strong as it is. The Forester loyalists be-
lieve in the Forester. The people who make the Forester obviously believe in them. In the automobile business, or in any other business, it doesn’t get much better than that.
The bottom line Complaints: Are beauty and value incompatible? I don’t think so. Here’s hoping that Subaru agrees with me in future iterations of the Forester. Just a little bit of cute could smooth acceptance of practicality for more people. Ride, acceleration and handling: All three are good in dry, on-road driving. “Good” here means acceptable to pleasing for most people trying to get from one point to another as safely and comfortably as possible with small loads. Throttle jockeys will find it boring. In wet, wintry weather, it’s hard to beat this one. Head-turning quotient: The quiet, dependable, loving and beloved boy or girl next door you could turn to in rough patches but whom you would have never, ever considered marrying.
Q:
I have a 2002 Town & Country minivan. The engine started to vibrate at idle, so I took it to the dealer. They said it was sagging motor mounts, with a $750 repair bill, but it doesn’t need immediate attention. Is this something an independent repair shop could handle? Did the dealer check the aluminum casting on the right-side engine mount? My Alldata automotive database pulled up service bulletin 09-

Your brakes will still work in subfreezing temperatures, but they might lose the vacuum assist that helps you push down the pedal. 003-02 that describes the symptoms from this failure, which include vibrations. A full-service independent shop should be able to replace engine and transaxle mounts. And as long as the casting isn’t broken or one of the mounts completely separated, the dealer is correct — this isn’t an issue requiring immediate attention.
Q:
I’ve got a 2001 Range Rover with a leaking head gasket. It’s leaking externally, and you can smell it while driving. I have to add only a few ounces of antifreeze a week, and I know I cannot let the car overheat. I can’t afford the $2,500 cost of the repair, so I was thinking of using a stop-leak/gasket repair product. The mechanic is strongly against this, saying it may clog small openings in the radiator and heater, which will cost a lot to replace. I’ve had remarkably good success at slowing or stopping coolant leaks with stopleak products. Mendtite, Silver Seal and Solder Seal have been very effective in stopping intake manifold and external head gasket leaks on several of my vehicles. I would not hesitate to try one of these on your vehicle. The alternative is a major repair bill.
