Fast-moving pockets of gas or salty brine deep in the Earth, which snap mushy, hot rocks like Silly Putty, could be causing a swarm of earthquakes that has been shaking the ground near Maupin since 2006.

Seismologists are still puzzled by the quakes, which don’t seem to be associated with volcanoes or known major faults in the crust. But some researchers who have studied the swarm point to liq-

“It’s quite unusual activity, because it’s fairly deep and it’s been persisting for more than three years,” said Jochen Braunmiller, a research associate with Oregon State University who has studied the quakes.

The quakes aren’t large enough to cause significant damage, but residents have reported feeling the ground jerk or hearing dishes rattle during the biggest of the swarm.

CHICAGO — After trying for five days to shake “a little cold,” Lisa Amoruso went to the doctor in early November. She complained of chills, aches, fatigue, fever spikes and labored breathing.

Dr. Jeffrey Nekomoto, her internist, suspected she had swine flu, but the 40-year-old effervescent mother of two from Bridgeport, Ill., didn’t seem that sick. She was talking and joking with him as he measured the oxygen in her blood.

“His eyes opened up wide, almost bulged out,” said Joe Amoruso, 50, her husband. “He said her blood oxygenation was way too low and that she had to go to an emergency room. Right away.

Right now.”

Though health experts had been warning for months of the H1N1 flu pandemic, Lisa Amoruso had been among those who decided the swine flu vaccine was too risky for her family. Suddenly she was in Rush University Medical Center’s intensive care unit, on the verge of becoming one of an estimated 11,000 Americans to die from the virus over the last year.

HAITI EARTHQUAKE: A LOCAL CONNECTION

After a year, White House is starting to push back WASHINGTON — For the past year, China has adopted an increasingly muscular position toward the United States, berating U.S. officials for the global economic crisis, stage-managing President Barack Obama’s visit to China in November, refusing to back a tougher climate change agreement in Copenhagen and standing fast against U.S. demands for tough new Security Council sanctions against Iran.

Now, the Obama administration has started to push back. In announcing an arms sales package to Taiwan worth $6 billion on Friday, the United States leveled a direct strike at the heart of the most sensitive diplomatic issue between the two countries since the United States affirmed the “one China” policy in 1972.

The arms package was doubly infuriating to Beijing coming so soon after the Bush administration announced a similar arms package for Taiwan in 2008, and right as tensions were easing somewhat in Beijing and Taipei’s own relations.

The Obama administration is proposing a sweeping overhaul of President George W. Bush’s signature education law, No Child Left Behind, and will call for broad changes in how schools are judged to be succeeding or failing, as well as for the elimination of the law’s 2014 deadline for bringing every American child to academic proficiency.

Educators briefed by administration officials said the proposals for changes in the main law governing the federal role in public schools would eliminate or rework many of the provisions that teachers unions, associations of principals, school boards and other groups have found most objectionable.

A challenge for judges: Controlling new technology

By Sarah Lundy

OUR ADDRESS

Getting nature’s help to charge your phone

By Anne Eisenberg New York Times News Service

A new solar cell that imitates Mother Nature’s way of converting sunlight to energy is making its debut in a variety of consumer products.

The technology uses a photosensitive dye to start its energy production, much the way leaves use chlorophyll to begin photosynthesis.

The dye-sensitized cells will be used to provide power for devices ranging from e-book readers to cell phones — and will take some interesting forms.

For e-book readers, for example, the cells may be found in thin, flexible panels stitched into the reader’s cover. But such panels will also be housed in new lines of backpacks and sports bags, where they can recharge devices like cell phones and music players.

The technology, long in development, will work best in full, direct sunshine, said Dr. Michael Graetzel, a chemist and professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland.

But the cells will also make good use of dappled and ambient light, including the indoor light of fluorescent bulbs, he said.

Books and bags Most photovoltaic cells are based on silicon or related inorganic materials, not dyes.

Graetzel and an American colleague, Brian O’Regan, first reported on the new type of cell in the journal Nature in 1991, and Graetzel said that he and other colleagues had been working since then to refine the technology.

Now G24 Innovations, a company in Campbell, Calif., that has licensed the technology, is using

“We’ve even had a case where we have generated voltage from moonlight.”

— Marc Thomas, of Dyesol, on the surprising light sources the new solar cells can use

it to make solar panels at its plant in Cardiff, Wales, said John Hartnett, G24’s chief executive.

Some of the panels will be placed on covers designed as an accessory for Sony e-book readers, said Tobi Doeringer, the director of global sales at Mascotte Industrial Associates, a Hong Kong company that makes bags to carry cameras, phones, sports equipment, electronic games and other products.

Doeringer said the covers, costing about $99, would be available

by March. The cover supplies the power via a plug in a cradle along its spine.

The panels will also be installed on tennis bags, backpacks and messenger bags that have battery chargers within, as well as on bicycle, golf, shopping and beach bags.

Prices of the bags will typically range from $149 to $249, he said, depending on the materials and size of the bag. Owners can plug their phones and music players into the bag for recharging, using a USB cord.

Some bags are already available, including messenger bags from Tonino Lamborghini, a brand licensed and distributed

by Mascotte.

Others will be on the market

by the end of the first quarter, he said.

About the cells The solar panels have 11 cells each, said Kevin Tabor, director of science and research at G24.

Wiring goes from the panel to a battery pack in the bag, he said.

It takes about six to eight sunny hours outside for the panel to fuel the recharger, he said, but longer indoors.

The performance of the dyesensitized cells has improved steadily in the laboratory, Graetzel said.

“Our dyes and electrolytes have changed,” he said, and the cells have become more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity.

Within the solar cell, the dye is painted in a thin layer on a porous titanium dioxide scaffold to collect light and, in a series of steps, create power.

An Australian company, Dyesol, supplies materials to G24 Innovations and other companies developing dye solar cell technology, said Marc Thomas, the chief executive of Dyesol’s North American operations in Sacramento.

Dyesol provides the dye, titanium pastes and the electrolytes for the thin-film technology, he said. Titanium dioxide is a common, inexpensive ingredient that is used, for example, to whiten toothpaste.

Thomas noted that Dyesol customers were planning to use the technology to prolong battery life in devices like wireless sensors and keyboards.

The cells draw on many surprising sources of light, he said, including some that offer the barest trickle. “We’ve even had a case where we have generated voltage from moonlight,” he said.

IN THE COURTROOM

Court rules, written in the days before new media, don’t cover things like BlackBerries, laptops

ONLINE

ADMINISTRATION

MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s technology vs. the courts.

Judges across the country are wrestling with ways to cope with instant communication — cell phones that can transmit pictures from court, Twitter and Facebook updates, blog posts and even Google searches.

Court rules, written long before the Internet dominated our lives, don’t address electronic devices such as BlackBerries, iPhones and laptops.

Some judges don’t mind an online presence in court. Others favor a federal rule that bans cell phones and computers in the courthouse.

An issue for some jurists, not for others For example, judges in Florida’s 9th Circuit Court are evaluating their best action: to have a sweeping policy or to simply leave cases up to individual judges to decide.

“We don’t have any answers yet,” said Orange Circuit Court Fred Lauten, who heads up a 9th Circuit committee looking at the guidelines.

For example, several reporters with laptops blogged live from Orange Circuit Court Judge Marc Lubet’s courtroom during the sentencing of former astronaut Lisa Nowak last year.

“It doesn’t bother me as long as it’s not distracting,” he said.

“It’s a broad spectrum of thought,” said Osceola Circuit Court Judge Jon Morgan, who has talked to other judges about the issue and serves on the committee with Lauten.

Lawyers are ‘getting different answers’ For journalists and courtwatching bloggers who want to provide instant updates online — and for news junkies who like their updates now or sooner, often devouring developments via their phones — this could be an issue.

“It’s all over the country. ...

Media lawyers are facing this question and getting different answers,” said Tom Julin, a First Amendment lawyer in Miami and chairman of the Florida Bar Association’s

committee on media and communications.

For example: In South Florida, a state judge declared a mistrial in a civil fraud case after a witness received text messages from the plaintiff. The texts were sent while the witness was on the stand testifying.

In Denver, a district judge ordered there be no online updates posted by computers or cell phone during court hearings connected to the murder of a Denver Broncos player. He also barred cameras from the entire floor where the trial was taking place.

But on the other end of the spectrum, last year a federal judge granted a Kansas reporter covering a gang racketeering trial permission to use his cell phone to post immediate updates online from the courtroom.

Autopsy photos copied during trial Cell phones that snap pictures — which is to say, almost all of them — are raising special concerns.

One Orange Circuit Court judge told lawyers and spectators in his court to turn off their cell phones after a court deputy saw someone take a cell phone picture of autopsy photos as they were shown during a trial.

In another incident, court officials warned observers from using their cell phones in juvenile court last year during hearings for Fathima Rifqa Bary, an Ohio teenager and Muslim-to-Christian convert who sought shelter in Orlando.

The announcement came after a woman snapped a picture of the teen.

Before cell phones Cell phones didn’t exist in 1979 when the Florida Supreme Court issued an order allowing video and still cameras in the courtroom with permission of the judge.

Now, it’s rare when a court spectator doesn’t have a mobile phone. And courts are being forced to address the issue of electronic devices.

Last week, a committee recommended to Florida’s high court that jurors be warned not to use their computers, iPhones, BlackBerries or any other device to tell anyone about the trial on which they’re serving or do research while it’s under way.

That came after reports of mistrials because jurors used cell phones to research cases or alert others on social media Web sites, such as Facebook, about what they were doing.

THE FUTURE OF E-BOOKS

Amazon loses a round to Macmillan

By Brad Stone and Motoko Rich New York Times News Service

Amazon.com shocked the publishing world on Friday when it pulled both the digital and physical books of Macmillan, the large international publisher, after Macmillan said it planned to begin setting higher prices for its e-books.

Until now, Amazon has been setting e-book prices itself, and has established $9.99 as the common price for new releases and best-sellers.

But in a message to its customers posted on its Web site Sunday afternoon, Amazon said that

while it strongly disagreed with Macmillan’s stance, it would concede to the publisher.

“We have expressed our strong disagreement and the seriousness of our disagreement by temporarily ceasing the sale of all Macmillan titles,” Amazon said.

“We want you to know that ultimately, however, we will have to capitulate and accept Macmillan’s terms because Macmillan has a monopoly over their own titles, and we will want to offer them to you even at prices we believe are needlessly high for e-books.”

The message went on to suggest that Amazon customers may rebel against such a high price for books that cost far less to distribute than physical books.

“We don’t believe that all of the major publishers will take the same route as Macmillan.

And we know for sure that many independent presses and selfpublished authors will see this as an opportunity to provide attractively priced e-books as an alternative,” Amazon’s online message said.

Macmillan officials were not immediately reached for comment on Sunday.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. — Toyota has launched a media campaign to bolster its reputation for quality as nervous customers confront dealers across the country about faulty gas pedal systems.

Crisis-management experts said Sunday that the recall of millions of cars and trucks isn’t the Japanese auto maker’s only problem: its message to Toyota owners — delivered in full-page ads Sunday in 20 major newspapers — isn’t as clear and reassuring as it needs to be.

Today, the head of Toyota’s North American sales division, Jim Lentz, is scheduled to appear on NBC’s The Today Show to detail the company’s plans for a fix. Federal regulators have approved Toyota’s plan to start sending parts to dealers in the coming days.

Toyota dealers over the weekend said there has been a noticeable drop in customer traffic and sales, though they have faith that customers loyal to the brand before last week’s recall will not abandon it altogether. Dealers selling U.S. brands have seen more Toyota drivers in their lots than usual, but for now those visits haven’t translated into many new customers.

Toyota’s black-and-white ads Sunday characterized the halt in sales and production as a “temporary pause” to put customers “first.” The ads don’t give details on how the pedals will be fixed or when customers can expect a remedy.

The company has said the recall of about 4.2 million cars and trucks is related to condensation that builds up in the gas pedal assembly and can cause the accelerator to get stuck. Dealers say the fix involves slipping a shim into an area where springs push the gas pedal back to its resting position after a driver has eased off the gas. Toyota has not commented on the repair.

“They are trying to do the right thing,” said Alexander Edwards, president of automotive research group Strategic Vision, of the ads. “But what’s going on isn’t stated very clearly and that causes more uneasiness with customers.”

Larry Smith of the Institute for Crisis Management in Louisville, Ky., said “The ads are intended to buy Toyota a bit of time, to ask people to give them a chance.”

But what matters now is “how Toyota expresses its plan and executives the repairs,” Smith said.

Cutting the company some slack, Smith said the ads likely had to be placed on Friday, before Toyota received the go-ahead for its planned fix from federal regulators.

“They are a really good company, and there is no reason they should not snap back from this,” Smith said.

Toyota knew of gas pedal fault, sources say TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp., currently in the midst of a massive recall of vehicles in the United States, Europe and elsewhere over potentially faulty accelerators, was aware of a gas pedal flaw as early as the spring of 2007, according to industry sources.

Toyota, however, said Saturday the potential problem with the accelerator pedal in vehicles subject to the ongoing callback differs from a problem discovered in 2007 that caused sudden acceleration. But industry sources have pointed out problems with a material used to make the pedal system both in 2007 and thereafter.

This raises questions about Toyota’s quality control system, the sources said.

Taliban leader thought killed in U.S. strike

By Pamela Constable and Haq Nawaz Khan The Washington Post

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Reports circulated Sunday that Hakimullah Mehsud, the top leader of Taliban extremist forces in Pakistan, has died from wounds sustained in a U.S. unmanned aerial strike in mid-January.

But army and civilian officials said they could not confirm his death.

Pakistani state television said that Mehsud, 28, had died and been buried in the Orakzai tribal agency, where he had relatives. Pakistani intelligence officials said they had also received

reports of his death. The senior army spokesman said military officials were “investigating” the reports but had not been able to verify them.

A White House official said Sunday that he was “95 percent” sure that Mehsud had been killed. But other U.S. officials said the reports were still being investigated.

“While I can’t confirm reports of Hakimullah’s demise, here’s to hoping they’re true,” said a senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. “This is one of the worst people on the planet.”

If confirmed, Mehsud’s death would be the second major blow to the Taliban, an Islamist militia based in Pakistan’s tribal region, in the past six months. The group’s previous leader, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed in a U.S. drone missile attack in August.

The Pakistani army has been waging a sustained operation since last summer against the Taliban, which is believed to have carried out dozens of suicide attacks across the country, including the bombings of two major hotels, public markets, and variety of military and police targets.

Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud arrives to meet with media Oct. 4 in the Pakistani tribal area of South Waziristan along the Afghanistan border.

Beyonce, Taylor Swift split Grammy honors

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Beyonce became the most decorated female on a Grammy night as she collected six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” but it was another diva — Taylor Swift — who nabbed the top honor, album of the year, for her best-selling “Fearless.”

Swift, who won a total of four awards, jumped around like the 20-year-old kid that she is when she beat out Beyonce, the Dave Matthews Band, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas for the honor.

“Oh wow — thank you so much! I just hope that you know how much this means to me ... that we get to take this back to Nashville,” said Swift, whose “Fearless” was last year’s bestselling album of any genre.

“Oh my God, our families are freaking out in their living rooms,” she added. “My dad and my little brother are losing their minds in the living room right now.”

Although Beyonce also lost out on record of the year, which went to the Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody,” the multi-hyphenate entertainer still owned the

most awards of the evening.

Beyonce, who in 2004 won five Grammys on the strength of her debut album “Dangerously in Love,” a mark tied by the likes of Alicia Keys, Norah Jones and Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Alison Krauss, reached that milestone again Sunday en route to the new record. She is the first to reach that mark twice.

She shared the song of the year trophy with three writers for “Single Ladies” and also won best R&B contemporary album for “I Am ... Sasha Fierce.”

“This has been such an amazing night for me and I’d love to thank the Grammys,” Beyonce said after winning best female pop vocal for “Halo.”

The Kings of Leon were a bit more entertaining when they picked up their record of the year trophy, the family quartet’s third of the night.

“I’m not going to lie, we’re all a little drunk. But we’re happy drunks,” said lead singer Caleb Followill.

Lady Gaga won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony but didn’t get a chance to show her multitude of outrageous dresses during the primetime show, losing out on record, song and album of the year.

CHICAGO — Not a good week for the Democrats here trying to hang on to President Obama’s old Senate seat.

The party’s leading contender — state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias — has spent these last precious days before Tuesday’s primary scrambling to explain why regulators have targeted his struggling family bank for greater oversight. Giannoulias, once a senior lending officer at Broadway Bank, is being pressed relentlessly by his Democratic rivals and the media about his role in the bank’s woes. Republicans promise that it is not a topic that will go away.

The Senate race in the president’s home state will be among the most symbolically important and expensive races in the country this year. After Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts this month, the GOP sees a clear path to victory in this Democratic state — and his name is Mark Kirk.

Kirk, 50, a moderate fiveterm Republican House member, appears to be the man of the moment. As the likely

541-322-CARE

GOP nominee to emerge Tuesday, Kirk is seen as a formidable, well-funded candidate, a Navy Reserve officer who has done two tours in Afghanistan and who can withstand the weight of a White House set to defeat him.

This is the first primary in a series of states where moderate Republicans are being pushed to the right by the conservative “tea party” movement, raising GOP concerns that winning primary candidates will find it difficult to return to the middle for the general election.

Swine flu

Education

Continued from A1 She was hooked up to a ventilator to keep her breathing and to a dialysis machine for her failing kidneys. Then, to keep her absolutely still, her doctors put her into an induced paralytic coma.

The ordeal, which continues despite Amoruso’s emotional homecoming two weeks ago, was devastating for her family and friends. For weeks, Joe Amoruso, an insurance broker, would be driven to tears repeatedly. As much as he prayed for his wife of 14 years to live, he was frightened that the powerful treatments needed to keep her breathing would leave her in a vegetative state.

Continued from A1 Yet the administration is not planning to abandon the law’s commitment to imposing higher standards, encouraging teacher quality and closing the achievement gap between minority and white students.

Significantly, said those who have been briefed, the White House wants to change federal financing formulas so that part of the money is awarded based on academic progress, rather than apportioned to districts according to their numbers of students and especially poor students. The well-worn formulas for distributing billions in federal aid have, for several decades, been a mainstay of annual budgeting in the nation’s 14,000 school districts.

Peter Cunningham, a Department of Education spokesman, acknowledged that the administration was planning to ask Congress for broad changes to No Child Left Behind, but declined to describe them specifically.

He said although the administration had developed various proposals, it would solicit input from congressional leaders of both parties in coming weeks to turn the proposed changes into legislative language that can attract bipartisan support.

Some details of the president’s proposals are expected to be made public today. The changes would have to be approved by Congress, which has been stalemated for years over how to change the policy.

Swift descent from healthy to near death Doctors say what happened to Lisa Amoruso should be a cautionary tale about how swiftly swine flu can turn lethal. The virus has been in retreat since peaking in November, but it continues to hospitalize people, still killing some.

While relatively mild in most cases, the H1N1 virus has differed from the seasonal flu by aggressively targeting younger, otherwise healthy children and adults, like Amoruso, rather than the elderly. Concerned about another wintertime spike, medical experts continue to urge the public to be vaccinated.

“One day (Lisa Amoruso) is this vibrant, active 40-year-old mother.

The next day you get a call that she is all of a sudden so sick that she’s near death,” said Leslie Kish, Amoruso’s best friend. “How can this happen?”

Dr. Omar Lateef, director of Rush’s intensive care unit, said Amoruso’s own immune system was killing her by the time she was brought in Nov. 2. The immune system in younger, healthier people sometimes goes into overdrive, producing cells to destroy the virus and unable to turn itself off, he explained. The immune cells start destroying the patient’s own lung tissue, and other vital organs shut down.

“This was new to all of us,” Lateef said. “That first night Lisa was here, I had to tell her husband that she was the sickest person in the

Lisa Amoruso enters her living room using a walker with help from her husband, Joe Amoruso, after arriving home from the hospital in Chicago on Jan. 16. Amoruso is recovering from a severe case of swine flu, during which she spent 35 days in an induced coma at Rush Hospital and then received therapy at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. hospital at that moment, and that I couldn’t tell him how things might go. She was so susceptible to fullblown organ failure that out of 45 days here, 35 of them she could have died.”

A harrowing ordeal After a week of breathing on the ventilator, it was no longer sufficient. So Lateef’s team decided to try a high frequency oscillator, a device designed to help lung-impaired infants take hundreds of weak, shallow breaths a minute.

The manufacturer rushed delivery of one of the devices for Amoruso, and Lateef’s team hooked her to it Nov. 8.

It worked, but only for a week.

On Sunday, Nov. 15, doctors said they were putting her back on a standard ventilator the next day.

Crestfallen, Joe Amoruso agreed but told doctors he was worried that keeping her in a coma might leave his wife with permanent brain damage.

“I needed to know if I would get my wife back if we kept going through all this,” he said, asking the doctors to try to revive her

“Throughout Eastern Oregon, there are little clusters like that, although the Maupin one is probably the most dramatic.”

— Ian Madin, chief scientist, Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries

h

Continued from A1 Most of the time when the ground shakes, a big earthquake releases a lot of energy, and then is followed by smaller aftershocks, Braunmiller said.

But near Maupin, there have been hundreds of similar-sized, small quakes — a swarm, in earthquake terms.

“Swarms are a big question mark in seismology,” said Wes Thelen, a seismologist with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, which monitors the shaking ground in Oregon and Washington. “In a lot of cases, we don’t understand why they start and why they end.”

Earthquake swarms aren’t a new phenomenon to the area — Maupin saw swarms in the late 1980s and late 1970s as well, Thelen said.

The current swarm southeast of Maupin started in November 2006. The following year, seismometers measured more than 150 small earthquakes in the area. Seven were above magnitude 3 on the Richter Scale, which is where people can start to feeling a little shaking.

And although the swarm has slowed, earthquakes are still occurring — a 3.6 quake rocked Maupin in early January.

But the cause of the quakes isn’t clear-cut.

If they were located in a volcanically active area, the earthquakes could be pinned to magma moving around. But scientists haven’t found any hints of magma, like hot springs or volcanic gases.

And the depth of the quakes is puzzling as well. Some Maupin earthquakes happen more than 10 miles beneath the surface of the Earth — several miles deeper than quakes normally are, Thelen said.

“As you get farther down in the Earth, it gets hotter and hotter,” he said, “and the crust, it becomes more mushy. So it can’t really sustain an earthquake.”

Quakes are usually caused when rocks, under stress, suddenly slip. But at 10 miles below Maupin, the hot rocks are kind of like Silly Putty, Thelen said.

Stresses and pressure will typi-

enough to determine her cognitive ability. They agreed, immediately easing off the paralytic drugs used to make her comatose.

The next day, Nov. 16, Joe Amoruso was so worried that he kept his kids out of school. For the first time, he let Juliana, an eighthgrader, come see her mother, in case it was her last chance.

“Juliana was the bravest I have ever seen her that day,” Joe Amoruso said. She stood by her unconscious mother, repeatedly telling her, “You can do this, mom.”

An hour and a half later, doctors replaced the oscillator with a standard ventilator, and it worked. But for the next few days nothing else changed, nor did Amoruso wake up.

Ten days later, at 3 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, doctors prodded her husband awake. She had taken another turn for the worse. Her right lung had developed an embolism and they needed to drain it.

The procedure went uneventfully, and at 10:30 Thanksgiving night Joe Amoruso was chatting with relatives as he gathered blankets for another night in the

cally bend and stretch the rocks.

But if they are jerked apart or moved quickly, the rocks could snap.

“You can generate earthquakes that deep, but you have to move things fast,” Thelen said.

His theory is that some material — like carbon dioxide or a briny water solution — is caught in a pocket deep below the surface.

When it moves suddenly, it can do so with enough force to snap the rocks — causing an earthquake that releases energy.

In turn, the water’s movements could be caused by slight shifts of the Earth’s crust, Thelen said.

In the Maupin area, the crust is slowly extending outward — not enough to create cracks in the ground, he said, but possibly enough to let water flow into pockets and build up pressure.

Braunmiller’s explanation for the quakes points to the liquids deep within the crust as well — but in a slightly different way.

The water could be acting as a lubricant, he said, making it easier for rocks under stress to snap and cause the little earthquakes.

“Add a little bit of fluid, it breaks. Add a little more, and

Weekly Arts & Entertainment Fridays In

it breaks again, until there’s no stress left,” Braunmiller said.

“As long as we have some stress level, and we add fluids to the source region (of the swarm), we can keep popping.”

Still, these explanations are still just ideas, both researchers say.

There’s no way to know for sure what’s going on 10 miles beneath the surface, or to know how long the swarm will last.

Even when the Maupin quakes do quiet down, another puzzling swarm could take their place.

Several swarms have been detected in the state over the years, and researchers often don’t have the budget to study them, said Ian Madin, chief scientist for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.

“Throughout Eastern Oregon, there are little clusters like that, although the Maupin one is probably the most dramatic,” he said, mentioning swarms around Bend, South Sister, Prineville and Lakeview. “They just kind of pop up, then they die down.”

waiting room. A nurse walked in and told them Lisa Amoruso’s eyes were wide open, and they all rushed to her room.

“The nurse started talking to Lisa, and said, ‘If you can hear me, blink twice,’” he recounted.

“Lisa blinked twice. She told Lisa to cough, and Lisa coughed. I just stood there crying. ‘I didn’t know you were here,’ I kept telling her.

Everybody there, we all knew we had her back.”

‘Get vaccinated’ On Jan. 16, Lisa Amoruso finally returned to her Bridgeport home, walking up the front steps on her own into a small reception party. She will continue in-home physical therapy, but doctors tell her she will recover 100 percent.

For her, the ordeal is a blank except for foggy memories of weeping relatives and friends happy to see her alive. She said she regrets one thing — deciding last fall not to have herself, her husband or her kids vaccinated.

“Now I have told them all to get vaccinated,” she said. “I tell everybody that.”

The current system Currently the No Child Left Behind law requires the nation’s 98,000 public schools to make “adequate yearly progress” as measured by student test scores. Schools that miss their targets in reading and math must offer students the opportunity to transfer to other schools, and free after-school tutoring.

Schools that repeatedly miss targets face harsher sanctions, which can include staff dismissals and closure. All students are required to be proficient by 2014.

Educators have complained loudly in the eight years since

the law was signed that it was branding tens of thousands of schools as failing but not forcing them to change.

The secretary of education, Arne Duncan, foreshadowed the elimination of the 2014 deadline in a September speech, referring to it as a “utopian goal,” and administration officials have since made clear that they want it eliminated. In recent meetings with representatives of education groups, Department of Education officials have said they also want to eliminate the school ratings system built on making “adequate yearly progress” on student test scores.

Changes planned The current system issues the equivalent of a pass-fail report card for every school each year, an evaluation that administration officials say fails to differentiate among chaotic schools in chronic failure, schools that are helping low-scoring students improve, or high-performing suburban schools that nonetheless appear to be neglecting some low-scoring students.

Instead, under the administration’s proposals, a new accountability system would divide schools into more categories, offering recognition to those that are succeeding and providing large new sums of money to help improve or close failing schools.

A new goal, which would replace the 2014 universal proficiency deadline, would be for all students to leave high school “college or career ready.” Currently more than 40 states are collaborating, in an effort coordinated by the National Governors Association and encouraged by the administration, to write common standards defining what it means to be a graduate from high school ready for college or a career. The new standards will also define what students need to learn in earlier grades to advance successfully toward high school graduation.

The administration has already made its mark on education through Race to the Top, a federal grant program in which 40 states are competing for $4 billion in education money included in last year’s federal stimulus bill.

Haiti Continued from A1 And the Peters adopted at a time when government officials weren’t dealing with a natural disaster like the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti just outside the capitol of Port Au Prince three weeks ago.

Since then, countless Americans have flooded the Internet, news agencies and Haitian officials with inquiries about how to adopt the estimated tens of thousands of children orphaned by the devastation.

UNICEF has estimated that as many as 1 million children have been separated from their families or lost a parent because of the earthquake. Aid organizations and the United Nations estimate that tens of thousands of children were orphaned in a country that already had about 380,000 orphans as of 2007, according to UNICEF’s most recent numbers.

After last month’s disaster, the Haitian and U.S. governments evacuated nearly 500 confirmed orphans already in the process of being adopted.

But the Haitian government has put a stop to nearly all new adoptions, in addition to holding up some that have already been processed, out of fears that the children may be permanently separated from surviving family members or simply end up in the wrong hands.

Haitian officials are struggling to verify whether children were actually orphaned by the quake, which has made looking for family members a monumental task, said Francois Monuma, press agent for the Consulate General of Haiti in Chicago.

“They are searching for their parents,” Monuma said Friday.

“Mostly it is word of mouth, and there is a little bit of communication by telephone. Those kids who have been picked up have been put in shelters and (the Haitian government is) going to wait because their parents may surface, and it is going to be a while before they will certify them as orphans.”

He expects the certification process to take several months.

Haitian Prime Minister JeanMax Bellerive told the Miami

Adoption Continued from A1 After they took the initial steps in 2005 to get the adoption process started, the Peters were told to “go on the Web site and pick the kids you want,” Ryan said.

They chose Kenson, now 8, and a baby he watched out for named Evens, now 4. But they had no idea how long and difficult bringing the boys home would be.

Because the Haitian government has strict standards for adoptions, the Peters had to jump through many hoops before they could even visit their sons, Ryan said.

The boys’ mothers had to be located for DNA testing, paid for by the Peters, to satisfy Haitian officials that the women had the authority to sign their sons over.

“There’s no phones there, they don’t know where the mothers are living, and we had to find them. And it’s really a struggle,” Ryan said.

The cost to adopt the boys then was $6,500 per child, so the Peters had to provide financial documents up front showing they could afford the fees. The couple was required to put together a “dossier,” including an independent home study — a process that takes between six and eight weeks — a psychological evaluation and other legal documents.

They then had to send the packet off to the Consulate General of Haiti in Chicago, where the documents were translated into French and then returned. That process generally takes about three months, according to the Haitian government’s guidelines on adoption.

The Haitian Adoption Authority then reviews the information and either approves or denies the adoption, a process that can take between 18 months and two years.

“But we were on it,” Ryan said.

“We really pushed things along.”

Potential adoptive parents are required to travel to the country at least twice — the first time to file paperwork and the second to pick up the child or children.

When the Peters made their first visit in July 2006, men carrying shotguns met them at the airport.

A life-changing event “It was the scariest three days of my life — but life changing — because, for instance, when we got into the car, we weren’t allowed to sit by the door because at that time Americans were being kidnapped in Haiti,” Kelly said.

As they drove to the orphanage, the couple saw “extreme poverty, 4- or 5-year-olds completely alone without any shoes,” Kelly said.

Herald on Jan. 22 that his country will not release children for adoption without his personal approval as well as that of the U.N. Bellerive cited concerns about children being sold into lives of prostitution or domestic servitude as the basis for his decision.

Bellerive’s decision was announced after relief organizations called for a moratorium on the adoption of Haitian children, saying the risk that families might not be reunited is too high.

Save the Children, World Vi-

sion and the British Red Cross issued a joint statement calling for the moratorium, while UNICEF released its own statement, according to the organizations’ Web sites.

An announcement Saturday that Haitian police were holding 10 Americans on suspicion of trying to illegally smuggle 33 children out of the country seems to give weight to their concerns.

Haitian officials say a group of Baptist church members from Idaho tried to take the children

They brought fruit roll-ups as a treat, but didn’t have nearly enough for all of the 90 children who were living in the orphanage.

“Kenson was 4 at the time. He handed them out and gave everyone a piece. He gave everyone a piece before he took a piece for himself,” Kelly said. “And the smiles on those kids’ faces — they had nothing, but they were so happy.”

The Peters had “the privilege” of meeting Kenson’s 29-year-old birth mother, who Kelly described as “proud” and “respectable.”

“She gave him up because she wanted him to have a better life.

Can you imagine the love that you must have for your child to give him that opportunity?” Kelly said.

night, so Ryan would sit with him and hold his hand.

Kenson started preschool in January and by September was enrolled in kindergarten.

“He picked up the language so fast,” Kelly said.

The Peters enrolled the boys at St. Francis School because the Haitian orphanage where they lived was faith-based, and the couple wanted to give the children a sense of consistency in their lives.

Kelly said the boys have experienced virtually no racism, but some of their classmates have expressed confusion about their color.

“There have been other kids who have said, ‘I don’t like your skin color,’ or “Why are you black?’” Kelly said. “And I answer, ‘Everyone is different. I have a daughter who has blond hair and light eyes, and I have dark hair and dark eyes. I tell the boys that they have dark hair and dark eyes like mommy.”

Other than their looks, the Peters children are obvious siblings.

At the St. Francis School playground on Saturday, they scrambled for a kickball and vied for their parents’ attention.

When they jumped on the swings, a chorus of “Mommy push me, daddy push me!” broke out.

And they even have a bit of sibling rivalry.

“Sometimes my daughter (Kiernon) will say, ‘No fair, Kenson has two moms,’” Kelly said. “That just makes Kenson smile.”

Families’ fate unknown The family does not know whether the boys’ mothers survived the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit the country three weeks ago, but they’re doing everything they can to find out, she said.

After their first visit to see the boys, the Peters flew home not knowing it would be another six months before they would bring their sons to Bend.

“The adoption process was so hard — the unknowns,” Kelly said.

“You don’t know the date you’ll get them, and you don’t know if they’re safe. It’s out of your control completely. As a parent, you want to make sure your children are safe, and Haiti was not a safe place.”

In December 2006, Ryan returned to Haiti to get the boys while Kelly stayed home with their two daughters, now 6-year-old Kiernon and 4-year-old Shea.

The boys flew with Ryan to Florida, where he decided to give them a treat, American-dad style.

So they went out for chicken wings and chocolate cake.

Kenson spent his second day in America getting sick to his stomach while traveling to Bend.

The girls took their brothers’ arrival in stride, Kelly said.

“We talked about the boys every day for at least a year and so, when we brought them home, the girls were like, ‘Oh yeah, Kenson and Evens, you’re our brothers!’” Kelly said.

There was no language barrier with Evens, but Kenson spoke only French. Both boys were cold all the time and didn’t know what to make of things Americans consider no big deal.

“I remember taking them to McDonald’s one day, and they had that play structure. And Kenson just stared at it, totally terrified,” Kelly said.

For the first few months, Kenson had trouble sleeping at

out of Haiti by bus to the Dominican Republic, where the religious group planned to start an orphanage, according to reports from CBS News and National Public Radio.

The group was calling the move a “Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission” and had allegedly planned to remove 100 children from the country without authorization or proper documentation.

The bus was intercepted at the Haitian border, and the 33 children were taken to SOS Children’s Village outside of Port-au-Prince.

While seemingly bolstered by this news, Bellerive’s decision has left at least 27 children, who had already been adopted by U.S. residents and received their travel documents, in a state of limbo. One of the children, an 11year-old boy, was living at the For His Glory Orphanage, according to its Web site. It is the same Haitian orphanage that housed Kenson and Evens Peters before their adoption.

The orphanage keeps about 130 children who are schooled in English “to help prepare children for their adoptive families,” the Web site says.

Many of the children have families who cannot care for them and turn to the orphanage hoping their children will be adopted by a family who can.

“Each month, due to limited space and financial ability, the (orphanage) turns away over 80 children whose parents stand in line for sometimes hours to bring their children in because they cannot afford to care for them,” the site says.

For now, it appears the orphanage will remain full and continue to turn away even more families in need.

Children’s aid organizations are saying that already-approved adoptions should go through, so long as they meet the legal standards of both Haitian and international law. Various news organizations reported over the weekend that a few children have been flown from Haiti to the U.S. after officials confirmed their adoptions were final before the quake.

Haitians want larger U.S. role in recovery The Washington Post PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — International relief organizations backed by American soldiers delivered hundreds of tons of rice to homeless residents of the Haitian capital on Sunday, laboring to ease a food shortage that has left countless thousands struggling to find enough to eat.

The prominent role of U.S. troops and civilians in the capital since the Jan. 12 quake is creating high expectations that the Obama administration is struggling to contain.

The needs are extraordinary and the common refrain is that the Americans will provide.

“I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government can’t do anything for us,” said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives under a tarp in the crowded town square.

But help has its limits, U.S. officials emphasize in their public statements and in their interactions with Haitians.

“The military forces ... are not here to do any reconstruction.

That is not our mission,” said Col. Rick Kaiser, a U.S. Army engineer overseeing emergency repairs to the Port-auPrince infrastructure.

THE BULLETIN • Monday, February 1, 2010 A5

China Continued from A1 China’s immediate, and outraged, reaction — cancellation of some military exchanges and announcement of punitive sanctions against U.S. companies — demonstrates, China experts said, that Beijing is feeling a little burned, particularly because the Taiwan arms announcement came on the same day that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly berated China for not taking a stronger position on holding Iran accountable for its nuclear program.

While administration officials sounded a uniform public note, cautioning Beijing not to allow this latest tiff to damage overall relations, some administration officials suggested privately that the timing of the arms sales and the tougher language on Iran was calculated to send a message to Beijing to avoid assumptions that Obama would be deferential to China over U.S. security concerns and existing agreements.

“This was a case of making sure that there was no misunderstanding that we will act in our own national security interests,” one senior administration official said. A second Obama administration official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said pointedly: “Unlike the previous administration, we did not wait until the end of our administration to go ahead with the arms sales to Taiwan. We did it early.”

A huge foreign policy challenge But larger questions remain about where the Obama administration is heading on China policy, and whether the new toughness signals a fundamentally new direction and will yield results that last year’s softer approach did not.

Beyond the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, management of the U.S. relationship with China is one of Obama’s biggest foreign policy challenges.

Flush with cash, China’s economy is growing mightily, and China has become one of the biggest foreign lenders to the United States. China also is an increasingly critical U.S. trading partner and a global rival in influence and economic power.

“The president’s view is that obviously we have to have a mature enough relationship with China that we can be candid and firm where we dis-

agree and cooperate forcefully when we agree,” a senior administration official said. He insisted that the timing of the arms package and Clinton’s tough words were “not designed to send a gratuitous message to China, but to demonstrate the firmness of our position.”

‘China is feeling very confident these days’ For Obama, the arms sale to Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province, may be only the first of many instances this year in which he will run afoul of Beijing.

Some foreign policy experts said that the administration now seemed intent on poking at the sovereignty issues that have long been China’s Achilles’ heel. Hillary Clinton noted on Friday that Obama would soon be meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama — a meeting that White House officials put off last summer to avoid alienating Beijing in advance of Obama’s China trip. China regards the Dalai Lama as an advocate of Tibetan independence.

“China is feeling very confident these days, but the one thing that the Chinese freak out about consistently are sovereignty issues,” said Clemons of the New America Foundation. “So anything related to Taiwan or Tibet will get them going.”

Added to that, the administration has been championing Internet freedom recently, another source of public tension with Beijing. China’s government is embroiled in a fight with Google over that company’s complaints about Internet censorship and hacking attacks it says originated in China.

Cooperation is key But the tougher U.S. positions do not change the fact that Obama needs Chinese cooperation on a host of issues. Beyond his efforts to rein in Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the president is also working with Beijing on similar ambitions in North Korea.

And Obama announced in his State of the Union address last week that he planned to double U.S. exports in the next five years, an ambitious goal that cannot be met unless he somehow persuades China to let its currency appreciate, making Chinese products more expensive in the United States and American products more affordable in China.

Slain Hamas commander helped smuggle arms into Gaza, officials say

N AT ION / WOR L D

AN ANCIENT CELEBRATION IN IRAN

W B Little consensus as economic forum ends

By Edmund Sanders Los Angeles Times

JERUSALEM — A Hamas military commander slain in a Dubai hotel room played a key role in smuggling antiaircraft missiles and other weapons into the Gaza Strip, Israeli and Hamas officials said Sunday.

But they disagreed on whether Mahmoud Mabhuh’s death would deliver a blow to Palestinian armed groups in the seaside enclave or inspire them to redouble their arms campaign.

“This guy was a middleman for smuggling weapons from Iran, not only to Gaza but to Hezbollah” in Lebanon, said an Israeli military official speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the issues.

Among other things, Mabhuh, believed to be about 50, was suspected of helping to run an arms-smuggling route through Sudan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. One of the arms convoys was bombed in Sudan last year, reportedly by Israeli aircraft.

Israel has refused to comment on Hamas’ allegation it was behind the Jan. 20 assassination of Mabhuh. Details of the killing remain murky, with conflicting reports suggesting he was electrocuted, strangled, poisoned or injected with a drug that made his heart stop.

Israeli officials said they hoped Mabhuh’s death would slow the flow of arms into Gaza.

“Of course, the moment a guy like this is dead, there is always someone to replace him,” the military official said.

“But information (about armssmuggling routes) is usually kept very secret. You have to renew the connections, rebuild the trust. ... It shakes the whole system.”

An Iranian Zoroastrian priest sets fire to a prepared pile of wood as Zoroastrians gather in a ceremony to mark Sadeh, an ancient feast celebrating the creation of fire, outside Tehran, Iran, on Saturday.

Thousands of Iranians gathered at dusk to light giant bonfires during the midwinter festival that dates back to Iran’s pre-Islamic past and has been provoking new interest among Muslims.

Scores detained as police break up protests in Russia

By Volodya Isachenkov The Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russian police broke up anti-Kremlin protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg on Sunday, and detained more than 100 demonstrators, including several opposition leaders.

In Moscow, several hundred demonstrators gathered in a central square, defying a ban imposed by authorities. The protesters said their rally was banned in violation of the Russian constitution’s guarantee of the right to gather.

They denounced the policies of President Dmitry Medvedev and his predecessor and mentor Vladimir Putin, who continues to wield broad powers as Russia’s powerful prime minister.

Police officers detain a participant in an anti-Kremlin protest in downtown Moscow on Sunday.

Police spokesman Viktor Biryukov said about 300 people took part in the Moscow rally, and about 100 were detained.

Police quickly dispersed a similar rally in St. Petersburg, detaining most of several dozen protesters who gathered on Nevsky

Prospect. Some of the demonstrators were beaten with truncheons.

Protests also were held Sunday in Yekaterinburg, Russia’s thirdlargest city, in the Ural Mountains; in Krasnoyarsk in central Siberia; and in the far eastern port of Vladivostok.

DAVOS, Switzerland — The world’s foremost gathering of business and government leaders wrapped up a five-day meeting Sunday with widespread agreement that a fragile recovery is under way but no consensus on what’s going to spur job growth and prevent another global economic meltdown.

Gunmen attack party in Mexico, killing 13 MEXICO CITY — More than a dozen gunmen sealed off a street in the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez and opened fire on a house where high school students were having a party, killing 13 people, officials said Sunday.

Chihuahua state authorities gave no motive for the mass killing, but it bore all the signs

of the drug violence that has consumed the city over the past three years. Juarez has become ground zero in the government’s war against drug traffickers, as rival cartels use their enormous firepower to fight over drug distribution and routes across the border to Texas.

Cleric admits meeting bomb plot suspect SAN’A, Yemen — Anwar alAwlaki, the fugitive U.S.-born cleric accused of terrorist ties, acknowledged for the first time that he met with the Nigerian suspect in the Dec. 25 airliner bomb plot, though he denied any role in the attack, according to a Yemeni journalist who said he met with him.

Al-Awlaki said he had met and spoken with the Nigerian suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in Yemen last fall, according to the journalist, Abdulelah Hider Sha’ea, who played a digital recording of the cleric’s comments for a reporter. Although the authenticity of the tape from an interview last week could not be independently verified, the voice resembled that on other recordings of Awlaki.

Militants to end cease-fire in Nigeria DAKAR, Senegal — A militant group’s announcement that it was ending a ceasefire in Nigeria is linked to the government’s failure to keep promises to the oil-producing region, analysts and activists said Sunday.

Despite pledges of retraining for thousands of militants and development aid for the impoverished Niger Delta region, little has been done since the government announced an amnesty program for militants in August, they said. The militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, warned that it would resume attacks on oil company pipelines and personnel, a threat analysts said was credible.

Obama’s $3.8T budget Ringing in Your Ears? heading to Congress Spending plan being released today based on prediction of $1.6T deficit

By Andrew Taylor and Martin Crutsinger The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s proposed budget predicts the national deficit will crest at a record-breaking almost $1.6 trillion in the current fiscal year, then start to recede in 2011 to just below $1.3 trillion.

Still, the administration’s new budget to be released today says deficits over the next decade will average 4.5 percent of the size of the economy, a level that economists say is dangerously high if not addressed.

A congressional official provided the information, which comes from a White House summary document circulating freely on Capitol Hill and among Washington’s lobbyists.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the spending proposal was not supposed to be made public until today.

Details of the administration’s budget headed for Congress include an additional $100 billion to attack painfully high unemployment. The proposed $3.8 trillion budget would provide billions

“Look, she’s wearing it!” more to pull the country out of the Great Recession while increasing taxes on the wealthy and imposing a spending freeze on many government programs.

Administration projections show the deficit never dropping below $700 billion, even under assumptions that war costs will drop precipitously to just $50 billion in some years instead of more than three times that this year and next.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the administration believed “somewhere in the $100 billion range” would be the appropriate amount for a new jobs measure made up of a business tax credit to encourage hiring, increased infrastructure spending and money from the government’s bailout fund to get banks

to increase loans to struggling small businesses.

That price tag would be below a $174 billion bill passed by the House in December but far higher than a measure that could come to the Senate floor this week.

Gibbs said it was important for Democrats and Republicans to put aside their differences to pass a bill that addresses jobs, the country’s No. 1 concern.

Job creation was a key theme of the budget President Obama was sending Congress, a document designed, as was the president’s State of the Union address, to reframe his young presidency after a protracted battle over health care damaged his standing in public opinion polls and contributed to a series of Democratic election defeats.

Hopes fade for new NASA moon mission

By Joel Achenbach The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — NASA’s grand plan to return to the moon, built on President George W. Bush’s vision of an ambitious new chapter in space exploration, is about to vanish with hardly a whimper. With the release today of President Obama’s budget request, NASA will finally get the new administration’s marching orders, and there won’t be anything in there about flying to the moon.

The budget numbers will show

You’re Not Alone!

President Barack Obama’s budget plan includes, among other things, an additional $100 billion to tackle unemployment.

that the administration effectively plans to kill the Constellation program that called for a return to the moon by 2020.

The budget is also a death knell for the Ares 1 rocket, NASA’s planned successor to the space shuttle. The agency has spent billions developing the rocket, which is still years from its first scheduled crew flight.

It remains to be seen if Congress will accede to Obama’s change in direction. Industry insiders expect a brutal fight in Congress. The early reaction to

media reports about the budget request has been filled with howls of protest from lawmakers in districts that would be most affected by a sharp change in strategy.

Obama’s budget, according to a background briefing by an administration official on Sunday, will call for spending $6 billion over five years to develop a commercial spacecraft that could taxi astronauts low-Earth orbit. Going commercial with a human crew would represent a dramatic change in the way NASA does business.

Class takes it to the mountain OSU-Cascades students learn mountain resort management

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Ryan Gage, the grooming manager at Mt. Bachelor ski area, discusses the equipment and duties at the resort with OSU-Cascades mountain resort management students, from left, Amanda Bue, Austin Yager, Liesell Lindley, Kacy Hjeresen and Brooke Miebach.

A new Oregon State University-Cascades Campus class uses Mt. Bachelor as its classroom.

Literally.

The mountain resort management course, which is part of the Tourism and Outdoor Leadership program at OSU-Cascades, combines once-per-week traditional lecture classes with trips to the mountain, giving students a chance to see in real time what running a ski resort is really all about.

Carly Carmichael is teaching the course. She said the program was based in part on a similar program between Green Mountain College in Vermont and its partnership with Killington Resort, where Mt. Bachelor General Manager Dave Rathbun worked before coming to Central Oregon.

“It’s a big topic to take on for a 10-week course, so my strategy has been to offer job shadowing for key positions so students can see the ins and outs, more of the business side that they may not

see if they’re just up there skiing or up there working for a few months in the winter,” Carmichael said. “And then I tie that experience in with text materials that are business-focused.”

Mt. Bachelor Marketing Director Alex Kaufman said the resort has worked with the university over the past year trying to figure out ways to partner with the school’s Tourism and Outdoor Leadership program.

“The great part of it is with our proximity, they can come up and check out and learn from our

various department managers,” Kaufman said. “Each time they come up, they’re able to buddy up with various folks from different departments and get some real experience.”

In addition to allowing the mountain to serve as a sort of classroom for the students, Kaufman’s office is also providing students with internships as well.

“We feel like it’s the right thing to do. There are a lot of folks with both the colleges here in town who are really passionate about skiing and snowboarding, and that makes this a good fit,” Kaufman said.

The Cascade Horizon Band plays under the direction of Sue Steiger, at Sisters High School on Sunday afternoon .

Senior band hits all the right notes

By Hillary Borrud • The Bulletin

SISTERS —

For more information about Cascade Horizon Band, visit www.cascadehorizonband.org or call 541-389-5121.

A

s the lights dimmed for the Cascade Horizon Band’s winter concert Sunday, the 70 or so musicians on the stage at

Sisters High School were deadly serious.

No one smirked or horsed around, as some members might have done 40 years ago during the first chapters of their musical careers, in high school and college.

“This is my first concert, and I’m scared,” alto saxophonist Pat Woollard, 60, of Sisters, said earlier, in the hallway of Sisters High School before the concert. The retired public health nurse is one of the band’s more recent additions.

She joined in October, after moving from Virginia.

“Forty-two years ago was the last time I played,” Woollard said. She bought her saxophone from a graduating high school senior who stopped playing, just as Woollard did after high school.

The band started off with a piece called “The Olympics,” as a tribute to this year’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver,

British Columbia. The rousing jazz numbers, marches and other band standards they played drew strong applause from the large audience, which filled most of the high school auditorium. The concert was free, with donations suggested.

The Cascade Horizon Band formed in 2003, and is now one of 165 New Horizons Bands around the world, according to the concert program. Musicians must be at least 50 years old to join, and an audition is not required. Players under 50 can join if they are needed to play a specialty instrument, and members pay $45 a quarter to participate.

A bandmate’s saxophone frames Pat Woollard, an alto saxophone player who is one of the more recent additions to the Cascade Horizon Band. The band’s winter concert at Sisters High School on Sunday afternoon was Woollard’s first in about 40 years, after she once again took up the instrument she stopped playing after high school.

Band Director Sue Steiger, 53, is also a band teacher at High Desert Middle School.

She said the band probably cannot grow much larger right now, because it needs to split into two groups, a process the band has not yet figured out.

The band played at the Or-

egon Music Educators Conference in Eugene on Jan. 16, which was an achievement considering how the group started out in 2003, said the band’s board president, Jay Dee Conrad, 71, of Bend.

“During the first rehearsal, the band played such stalwart numbers as ‘Mary Had

a Little Lamb’ and ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,’” Conrad told the audience.

Band member Don Oliver, 80, of Sisters, plays the baritone horn, which he made a strategic decision to take up after starting out in the band as a trumpet player.

“I played trumpet here for

one or two years, and decided I couldn’t compete with these red-hot trumpet players,” Oliver said.

Clarinetist Carmen Hull, 68, of Sisters, said Oliver has “been a great recruiter” for the band, encouraging others to join.

“We were fairly newly retired here, so it was a great way to meet people,” Hull said. “I came to a concert in Sisters here a few years ago, and I said, ‘I have to do it.’”

Trumpet player Bruce Shaull, 64, of Camp Sherman, said he finally joined the band in December 2008, after his wife and children encouraged him to do so. He played in a community band in Olympia, Wash., before he moved back to Oregon, but his love of band and music began more than 50 years ago.

“In fifth grade, they brought this dixieland band to school,” Shaull said. “I thought man, that’s what I want to do.”

Bulletin staff report

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

The Sisters School District may be the first district in the region to install a biomass heating system at one of its schools, and it might be able to do so without making any upfront investment.

In the past, school board members have been supportive of using biomass — wood pellets, in this case — to heat its buildings, but the immediate cost of

about $125,000 to install a new boiler was too high as the district struggled with tight budgets. The school board is scheduled to consider the new plan at its Wednesday night meeting.

If the school board approves the plan, the district will begin with the high school’s heating system, which is its costliest and so has the largest potential savings.

This week promises to be a rainy and snowy one for Central Oregon, as a Pacific storm will bring an end to the sunny break the region enjoyed on Sunday.

Rain is forecast for much of the week, with a chance of snow this weekend in Bend and Redmond, said Ann Adams, an assistant forecaster for the National Weather Service

in Pendleton.

“There’s a plume of moisture just off the northern California coast and out ahead of that, there are some showers and cloudiness, and those are already moving into southwest Oregon,” Adams said.

The region could get a break on Tuesday, she said, although the weather service has not ruled out rain that day in Bend.

Lake Oswego man joins delegation back to Vietnam

By Julie Sullivan The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Somewhere, in the silence after death on the Mekong Delta, he saw the medals.

Stamped in gold, one showed a Viet Cong soldier attacking a U.S. tank and the words “Heroes Who Destroy Mechanized Equipment.�

The Green Beret’s hand closed around the medals in the stilled soldier’s rucksack.

He put the medals in his pocket. He carried them home.

Forty years later, his brother e-mailed: Want to go back to Vietnam?

His brother reported that Jan Scruggs, the combat vet behind the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — the Wall — was leading a delegation of veterans back in January. Among them: a former U.S. drug czar, a Naval War College professor and the owner of the San Antonio Spurs.

The brothers conferred. Both had fought in Vietnam. Both figured someday they’d return.

They could take their dad, one of the last Americans to leave in 1975 after working as a tax adviser to the South Vietnamese. Dad was turning 90.

The Green Beret hung up the phone and walked through his Lake Oswego home, past his Bronze Star for Valor and framed commendations, to another box, another soldier’s medals.

He was in For 20 years, there was almost no going back to the battleground where more than 3 million Americans served and more than 58,000 died, along with 3 million Vietnamese, and 1.5 million Cambodians and Laotians.

Diplomatic relations between the countries had been severed, but the psychic wound of the unpopular war created its own gap.

After President Bill Clinton lifted the trade embargo in 1994 and restored relations a year later, Americans began returning. Among them was Scruggs, the man responsible for the most searing and healing edifice of the war — the Wall.

Scruggs sold some land he inherited and began raising private money for a memorial: $8 million and three years later, the Wall was dedicated in 1982.

Today, the black granite panels are the most visited monument in Washington, D.C., and Scruggs is raising money for Part II — an underground education center between the Lincoln Memorial and the Wall to house 100,000 artifacts left at the monument and photographs of each American killed.

On a return trip to Vietnam in 1999, Scruggs said he realized healing was needed there, too. He launched a program to disarm the 350,000 tons of unexploded landmines and other ordinance that remain. Project Renew funded a bomb squad, education programs and microloans for victims in the most heavily mined province. In December, Congress approved a $1 million federal grant to help.

To deliver news of the unprecedented award, Scruggs assembled 14 combat veterans, their families and Gold Star families who’d lost a husband or brother in Vietnam.

Among them were Spurs owner Peter Holt, retired fourstar Gen. Barry McCaffrey, and the Whitehouses, including Tom Whitehouse, the former Green Beret who now lives in Lake Oswego.

Tom’s older brother George Whitehouse, 62, served as an artilleryman with the unit that fired the last U.S. combat round on Aug 10, 1972.

The Whitehouses had gone to the Wall as a family the first time in the 1980s, and regularly returned. They’d seen the letters, candles and flowers. They’d thought about the stories.

That’s where Tom Whitehouse, 61, began to think the medals he carried home weren’t trophies.

A soldier’s story They told a soldier’s story. A story that didn’t belong to him.

Tom, the younger Whitehouse, reached Vietnam first.

Not pro-war, not anti-war, just a second son, a “classic underachiever,� he called himself, drifting through his freshman year at Penn State. When he dropped out and faced the inevitable draft, he volunteered for the Army’s Special Forces, the Green Berets.

He landed with the 5th Special Forces Group around New Year’s Day 1970 at an outpost on the Cambodian border.

There, the Green Berets fought without helmets or flak jackets, conducting long-range patrols and ambushes to stop and kill enemies crossing the border.

Calm by nature, Whitehouse was able to compartmentalize much of what happened, a response that served him in the year ahead.

News accounts and Army documents show that beginning in February, the tiny force faced an unprecedented push by the North Vietnamese into the Mekong Delta. On Feb. 7, his radio operator and his sergeant were wounded in a heavy firefight. According to the Army’s account: “Lt. Whitehouse repeatedly exposed himself to the heavy enemy fire to reassure his troops, to guide their maneuvers and direct effective counter-fire. ... Despite the tremendous fire, Lt. Whitehouse remained cool and his sound tactical decisions allowed the friendly units to defeat a larger NVA unit.�

He volunteered to go back He left Vietnam at 22, a captain in the Green Berets. He volunteered to go back, but there were too many West Point graduates in line.

So he went back to the life he envisioned before the war.

Married the girl next door. Finished his degree at Penn State.

He earned a law degree at the University of Miami. Then his

attempt at normalcy unraveled.

He divorced and drifted west to a friend’s couch in Portland in 1978. He started driving as a dispatch messenger at The Oregonian. He remarried, raised a daughter, became a grandparent, took up golf.

Few knew that Whitehouse had ever served as a Green Beret or that his dearest friend at the newspaper also served in Special Forces — for South Vietnam.

Decades after the war, Whitehouse’s beloved godchildren were Vietnamese.

But a return to Vietnam offered a chance to further reconcile what had happened.

Whitehouse could finally return what he had taken. Medals were an important morale booster for enemy soldiers a long way from home. Whitehouse hadn’t kept a single picture of himself from Vietnam. But he kept the medals. He moved them across the country, protected in a clothlined box. He never spoke of the February day he took them, the day he earned the Bronze Star for Valor.

The Whitehouse men landed with the delegation in Hanoi on Jan. 11. It was “surreal� and deeply unsettling, they said later, to enter the enemy capital, see the red flag with its yellow star and walk through the “Hanoi Hilton,� now a museum. Finally, late on the second day, the American veterans reached the meeting with North Vietnamese military officers — to have tea, Scruggs said, with the very men they’d faced over loaded rifles.

Until that morning, Whitehouse had no idea whether he would speak, jotting down a few words at breakfast. As the event ended, he spoke.

The words he spoke “I served in combat with the U.S. Army and when I returned to the U.S., I took some medals with me. As a young man I thought of these as trophies. As an older and hopefully much wiser man, I know they represent a person, they represent a soldier, one who performed with valor as many in this room did also.

As such they should be returned with the appropriate honor and respect. This is not about governments. This is not about politics.

It is about the mutual respect of soldiers. As a new friend wisely told me, ‘to heal you must first forgive.’ In that spirit, may we veterans lead the way to a new era of cooperation and peace.�

Whitehouse then presented his small case holding the two decorations to Lt. Gen. Tran Hanh. “The room was spellbound,� delegate Judy Campbell wrote afterward. “When it sunk in what Tom had said, the general removed a handkerchief from his pocket to dry his tears.�

O Homebuyers, sellers in limbo on short sales

By Jeff Manning The Oregonian

PORTLAND — When they made their offer to buy a southwest Portland home last March, Catriona McCracken and Paul Thiers had every reason to think the deal would rapidly close.

The seller was delinquent on the mortgage and was motivated to sell. They had agreed upon a price.

But Earline Penson, McCracken’s real estate agent, responded with prophetic words: “Until the bank responds, we are in limbo,” the veteran Hasson Realty agent warned. “That’s why I don’t like short sales. We are at their mercy.”

Indeed. Ten months have gone by, and the two giant banks involved have shown no mercy.

McCracken and Thiers still have not closed on the house. After months of false starts, blown closing dates and repeated requests for the same information from an endlessly rotating cast of bank officials, McCracken’s offer remains stuck somewhere in the bowels of the Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase bureaucracies.

“It’s so frustrating, it seems like there are no rules out there,” McCracken said. “Is it incompetence, or is it something more than that? At this point, I just don’t know.”

Failed process Bank of America was unable to explain how the process has failed, though bank spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens said the buyers and sellers did not always file necessary paperwork in a timely fashion.

The saga of the home on Midea Lane in southwest Portland illustrates the sad state of the residential real estate market and the struggles of the nation’s lenders

“The banks are overwhelmed. I talk to some of these bank employees, they say they’ve got 500 files on their desk. How do you gear up to talk to that many people?”

— Mike Curtis, short-sale specialist, Exit Realty in Portland

to deal with the mess they helped create.

Banks are sitting on billions of dollars worth of homes, which they’ve repossessed or now control because the owners fell behind on their mortgage payments. When one of these homes is sold for less than what is owed, it’s called a short sale. Yet critics from real estate agents to Congress have complained that efficiently disposing of these properties has proven beyond the industry’s ability.

“The banks are overwhelmed,” said Mike Curtis, a short-sale specialist with Exit Realty in Portland. “I talk to some of these bank employees, they say they’ve got 500 files on their desk. How do you gear up to talk to that many people?”

The current owners of the home had moved to Southern California. Those owners, who requested they not be named, had taken out a $258,000 first mortgage from Countrywide,

which was later purchased by Bank of America, and a second mortgage from JPMorgan Chase for more than $180,000.

They remodeled the home and put it on the market for about $580,000, just in time for the economy to tank and the housing market to crash. They lowered the price repeatedly in a mad scramble to avoid foreclosure.

By the time McCracken and Thiers came along, the price was down to $340,000. When McCracken and Thiers offered $330,000, the owners quickly accepted. But it was no longer a simple matter of buyer and seller reaching an accord.

The price fell low enough that it was now impossible for both banks to get repaid in full. That meant the banks had to sign off on the transaction — in other words, a short sale.

The process is hugely frustrating to McCracken, but it’s crushing the finances of the current owners. Bank of America continues to add late fees and penalties onto the owners’ loan.

That fact, of course, infuriates both the sellers and the would-be buyers, who argue that the bank’s own incompetence caused the delays that prompted the late fees and penalties.

Bank of America’s Bauwens said her company is trying to improve its procedures to make short sales more efficient. It is opening a dedicated short-sale call center, for example, to improve the bank’s ability to communicate with buyers’ and sellers’ agents.

“I completely understand that these buyers and sellers are frustrated with the process,” Bauwens said. “BofA is taking steps to try and enhance the short-sale process with new technology and processes that will speed it up.”

Chase officials did not respond to requests for comment.

A LEISURELY STROLL

Nathan Skeen, of Eugene, walks on the beach at Heceta Head Lighthouse on Sunday near Yachats.

O B Family turns in suspect in Dallas knife attack DALLAS — Polk County sheriff’s deputies say they’ve arrested a man wanted in a near-fatal knife attack.

Jared Spencer’s relatives turned the 22-year-old in on Sunday morning. Sgt. Mark Garton says they brought him to the sheriff’s office against his will.

Authorities say Spencer broke into a Dallas home early Saturday morning and stabbed an acquaintance, 19-year-old

Jake Michaelson, who was taken to Salem Hospital. Garton says his condition is stable, and he should pull through.

Spencer was being held in the Polk County jail for investigation of charges including attempted murder, assault and burglary. Investigators say they don’t know what motivated the attack.

3 stabbed during fight in Gresham GRESHAM — Three people have been hospitalized after

they were stabbed during a fight in Gresham.

Police Sgt. Richard Wilson says the fight started when a group of uninvited people showed up at a house party early Sunday morning.

Two of the three — 18-yearold Jose Soto and an unidentified juvenile boy — are in critical condition at Emmanuel hospital. The third, 23-year-old Gerardo Soto, suffered a superficial wound and was treated at Mount Hood Medical Center.

No one has been arrested.

PERS numbers are a threat

N

obody argued the $730 million in tax increases generated by Measures 66 and 67 was going to solve the state’s financial problems. The spin and counter-spin of the

election, though, ignored the bigger multibillion-dollar threat to Oregonians from PERS.

The Public Employees Retirement System, or PERS, is the pension system for state workers. It’s in trouble.

The $51 billion pension fund does not have enough money to cover its longterm costs. It’s $8.8 billion short.

PERS investments plummeted when the market plummeted. And while the investments have gained a lot of that back, the PERS fund is still short.

Why should that matter to Oregonians?

Public agencies — city governments, state government and school districts — must ensure PERS has enough money. PERS benefits were promised in contracts to state workers.

The courts have ruled many of those promises can’t be ripped away if the market is not performing.

If PERS investments don’t do well, Oregonians will be called on to pay.

That threatens services, today’s taxpayers and tomorrow’s taxpayers.

The PERS board met on Friday and made a small fix. Because of PERS rules, when its accounts drop below being 80 percent funded, the contributions from public agencies must automatically spike up with a 6 percent of payroll increase. The shock of that 6 percent increase would mean a whop-

ping $1.5 billion that public agencies would need to come up with starting in 2011.

On Friday, the PERS board softened the blow. Instead of an automatic jump to a 6 percent increase, they moved to a more gradual increase.

But a more fundamental problem with PERS remains. Investment projections done for the PERS board are not comforting.

If PERS gets a return of 10.5 percent on its investments, as it has for much of its history, it is projected to be about 99 percent funded by 2019.

That’s not so bad.

If PERS gets a return of 8 percent on its investments, it will inch to only 80 percent funded in 2019.

That’s not good.

Over the last decade, though, PERS has gotten a return of 4.5 percent on its investments. A return like that would mean its funded status would drop and drop to 61 percent by 2019. Taxpayers would be called on to hold PERS up as its weight gets heavier and heavier.

We hope legislators and Gov. Ted Kulongoski aren’t content to just let future legislators and governors take on the challenge of PERS.

Legislature plans follies during February session

T

he Oregon Legislature is a place of gallant deeds — legislators battling inefficiency and tackling the state’s great challenges.

Well, at least, some legislators try.

Looking through the list of bills scheduled for this session, though, folly is often winning out over fixes.

Modern-day slavery, human trafficking as it is called, is an odious crime. We don’t know how bad the problem is in Oregon. We do wonder why it should be the role of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to fight it.

Rep. Brent Barton, D-Clackamas, believes it should be so. His House Bill 3623 requires the OLCC to include informational materials regarding human trafficking with certain license renewal notices, if materials are supplied by a nonprofit organization.

As residents and businesses of Central Oregon already well know, the OLCC can have enough trouble coping with liquor laws, let alone dabbling in human trafficking prevention.

Then there is HB 3633, sponsored

by Rep. Deborah Boone, D-Cannon Beach. Not content with how the Legislature has already spelled where Or-

egonians should get their power from, she wants to be much more specific.

Her bill clarifies the state goal for Oregon’s retail electrical load and specifies that by 2025 at least half of the 8 percent goal must be derived from tidal energy, ocean thermal energy, wind energy generated from a jetty-mounted device or wave energy generated from a jetty-mounted device.

Perhaps it would be best not to have the energy destiny of Oregonians defined with such exactitude by legislators. After all the problems with the Legislature’s ethanol standard, they should have learned.

Oregon’s veterans are also in line.

Senate Bill 1000, sponsored by the request of the Senate Interim Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, directs the Department of Transportation, upon request, to identify veterans on driver licenses.

There are plenty more bills where those came from. The Legislature’s time this session is going to be extremely limited. Fiscal matters should dominate. Other bills, if not driven by necessity or crisis, can at least wait.

Better still, drop them.

In My View Safety, security outweigh privacy for travel

By Peter J. Pedone Sr. Bulletin guest columnist

A

ccording to a recent article in The New York Times, dated Dec. 27, the United States maintains three lists of potential terrorists.

These lists are not ethnic or religious profiles, but instead are based on verbal or overt actions judged to be antiU.S. by our various intelligence agencies and/or the Homeland Security agency. About 550,000 individuals are registered in the database called “The Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment,” or TIDE (I don’t know who picks these titles, but I guess this is supposed to be “politically correct”?). A subset of this list is the “Terrorist Screening Data Base,” or TSDB, which lists about 400,000 individuals. Fewer than 4,000 names from the TSDB are on the “nofly” list, and an additional 14,000 are on a “selectee” list that calls for mandatory secondary screening.

The Nigerian suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who attempted to blow up a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner on Christmas Day was not on either of the aforementioned lists, although his own father made every effort to get him added. Had Umar been successful in his efforts to incinerate himself as well as the nearly 300 persons on the Detroitbound aircraft, “secondary screening” would have meant very little to the families of those killed on that aircraft.

With explosive devices that are imper-

vious to metal detectors, secondary screening hopefully means a full body search, and/or X-raying that would scan down to the bone structure of the individual suspect. How else do inspectors find explosives that are sewn into underwear? But it doesn’t matter what is involved with “secondary screening” because it was not done!

Much has been said in the media about the inability of U.S. intelligence networks to work together to ensure that potential terrorist information is shared and that stronger surveillance or other actions against these potential terrorists is taken. A failure to do so will result in the death of several hundred passengers. Perhaps it will take such a tragedy to occur before the government decides to “get tougher.”

In addition to lack of communication between U.S. intelligence and security agencies, the water is further muddied by the “privacy rights” versus “security requirements” controversy. Apparently, the equipment that X-rays down to the bone structure disturbs the sensibilities of some travelers (this one not included). My thoughts and the thoughts of my loved ones are that safety means more than privacy rights. But this is not my point, although it is most important. My concern is why doesn’t the U.S. government and its collection of security agencies provide the names of those suspects on any of the aforementioned lists to all U.S. airlines? By

doing so, this would permit the airlines to make a decision as to whether or not the listed individuals will be permitted to fly on their airplanes. Show me an airline that denies service to those listed, and I’ll show you the airline of my choice.

Several friends have reminded me that such a list would be considered discriminatory. But what comes to mind is that I have often entered places of business that have signs posted that read: “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone,” or words to that effect. Would not the same rationale apply to airlines that refuse to sell tickets to individuals whose names appear on any potential terrorist list? As it stands now, I really don’t like the idea of being caught in-between the concerns of those who cherish privacy over security and those who succumb to concerns over “profiling” and those who would take measures too extreme, which would cripple the airline industry.

My concern is safety for my loved ones and myself, who travel frequently at 35,000 feet across the skies of the United States. We either make it safely, or we get blown to smithereens. Give me safety — if we err, let it be on behalf of safety, not political correctness. Listed suspects can always book flights on foreign aircraft that use U.S. airports (like El Al).

U.S. shouldn’t be soft in treatment of terrorism suspects T Charles

WASHINGTON — he real scandal surrounding the failed Christmas Day airline bombing was not the fact that a terrorist got on a plane — that can happen to any administration, as it surely did to the Bush administration — but what happened afterward when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was captured and came under the full control of the U.S. government.

After 50 minutes of questioning him, the Obama administration chose, reflexively and mindlessly, to give the chatty terrorist the right to remain silent. Which he immediately did, undoubtedly denying us crucial information about al-Qaida in Yemen, which had trained, armed and dispatched him.

We have since learned that the decision to Mirandize Abdulmutallab had been made without the knowledge of or consultation with (1) the secretary of defense, (2) the secretary of homeland security, (3) the director of the FBI, (4) the director of the National Counterterrorism Center or (5) the director of national intelligence.

The Justice Department acted not just

unilaterally but unaccountably. Obama’s own DNI said that Abdulmutallab should have been interrogated by the HIG, the administration’s new High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group.

Perhaps you hadn’t heard the term.

Well, in the very first week of his presidency, Obama abolished by executive order the Bush-Cheney interrogation procedures and pledged to study a substitute mechanism. In August, the administration announced the establishment of the HIG, housed in the FBI but overseen by the National Security Council.

Where was it during the Abdulmutallab case? Not available, admitted National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, because it had only been conceived for use abroad. Had not one person in this vast administration of highly nuanced sophisticates considered the possibility of a terror attack on American soil?

It gets worse. Blair later had to explain that the HIG was not deployed because it does not yet exist. After a year! I suppose this administration was so busy deploying scores of the country’s best lawyerly

Krauthammer

minds on finding the most rapid way to release Gitmo miscreants that it could not be bothered to establish a single operational HIG team to interrogate at-large miscreants with actionable intelligence that might save American lives.

Of course, this case is just a reflection of a larger problem: an administration that insists on treating Islamist terrorism as a law enforcement issue. Which is why the Justice Department’s other egregious terror decision, granting Khalid Sheik Mohammed a civilian trial in New York, is now the subject of a letter from six senators — three Republicans, two Democrats and Joe Lieberman — asking Attorney General Eric Holder to reverse the decision.

Lieberman and Sen. Susan Collins had

written an earlier letter asking for Abdulmutallab to be turned over to the military for renewed interrogation. The problem is, it’s hard to see how that decision gets reversed. Once you’ve read a man Miranda rights, what do you say? We are idiots?

On second thought ...

Hence the agitation over the KSM trial.

This one can be reversed and it’s a good surrogate for this administration’s insistence upon criminalizing — and therefore trivializing — a war on terror that has now struck three times in one year within the United States, twice with effect (the Arkansas killer and the Fort Hood shooter) and once with a shockingly near miss (Abdulmutallab).

On the KSM civilian trial, sentiment is widespread that it is quite insane to spend $200 million a year to give the killer of 3,000 innocents the largest propaganda platform on earth, while at the same time granting civilian rights of crossexamination and discovery that risk betraying U.S. intelligence sources and methods.

Accordingly, Sen. Lindsey Graham

and Rep. Frank Wolf have gone beyond appeals to the administration and are planning to introduce a bill to block funding for the trial. It makes flesh an otherwise abstract issue — should terrorists be treated as enemy combatants or criminal defendants? The vote will force members of Congress to declare themselves.

The White House, feeling the heat on this issue, signaled on Friday that it is looking for another venue. But the issue isn’t New York. The issue is giving KSM a civilian trial anywhere. Rather than leaving him in the military commission system where he was until Obama decided otherwise.

Congress may not be able to roll back the Abdulmutallab travesty. But there will be future Abdulmutallabs. By cutting off funding for any KSM civilian trial, Congress can send Obama a clear message: The Constitution is neither a safety net for illegal enemy combatants nor a suicide pact for us.

Sisters Continued from B1 Backers of the plan say it would eventually save the district thousands of dollars while benefiting the environment.

No initial cost The new plan would allow the district to pay for the system over several years.

In three years of researching biomass systems, this is the first time that Director of Operations Leland Bliss has found a way to pay for the system with no initial investment.

“We’re looking for a way to do it so it’s not going to affect any of the budget,” Bliss said. “We want a program that’s no cost to the district.”

Under the new approach, the district would pay a set fee to Energyneering, a local biomass company. The fee would be equal to the district’s current heating costs at the high school of about $60,000 per year. No contract has yet been signed and so details might change, Bliss said.

Savings After about 10 years, the district would own the system, according to board member Glen Lasken. At that point, the district would pay only for the wood pellets and, depending on heating oil costs, could save tens of thousands of dollars a year.

“In the long run, it’s a costsaving measure,” Lasken said. “That’s probably the driving force.”

Lasken said the board had not yet decided whether to support the plan, but that he hadn’t found any issues with it.

“We need to ask if there is any risk, if anything happens to the company involved.

Are there any hidden costs?”

Lasken said. “I don’t see any significant problems.”

Bliss said the stable costs would be an immediate benefit for the district. With its current system, the district uses diesel, the cost of which can fluctuate from day to day, Bliss said.

If the board agrees to the biomass plan, the district could more accurately project what its high school heating costs would be, Bliss said.

“We could budget a price and not have the volatile fuel prices jumping,” he said.

Eagles star and broadcaster Tom Brookshier dies at 78

By Richard Goldstein

Chicago Cardinals halfback Ken Hall, center, is dragged down after a gain of 8 yards by Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Tom Brookshier (40) during the first period of a football game in Philadelphia on Nov. 15, 1959. Brookshier, 78, died Friday.

New York Times News Service

Tom Brookshier, a star defensive back who helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to the 1960 National Football League championship and later teamed with Pat Summerall as CBS’s No. 1 professional football broadcasting duo, died Friday at a hospital in the Philadelphia suburb of Wynnewood, Pa. Brookshier, who lived in West Conshohocken, Pa., was 78.

The cause was cancer, said his wife, Barbara.

When Brookshier, a native of Roswell, N.M., joined the Eagles in 1953 out of the University of Colorado; he was a 10th-round draft pick. Figuring he was likely to be cut, he decided to make an impression on the Eagles’ coach, Joe Trimble, at training camp in Hershey, Pa. As he once related it on the Eagles’ Web site: “Our No. 1 draft choice came downfield on a pass pattern, and I knocked him out. Our coach jumped and yelled, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to get cut!’ But he ran out and said, ‘I like that!’”

Brookshier intercepted eight passes that season and went on to become a key figure in the Eagles’ defense. His former teammate Chuck Bednarik, a Hall of Fame linebacker, said the 6-foot, 196-pound Brookshier “might have been the toughest defensive back of our era; he was a hitter.”

Brookshier was selected as an

The Associated Press file photo

All-Pro and member of the Pro Bowl team in 1959 and in 1960, when the Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers for the NFL championship. Playing seven seasons for the Eagles, he intercepted 20 passes.

Brookshier’s playing career, interrupted by two years’ Air Force service, ended after he broke his leg in a game against the Chicago Bears in 1961. He began his

broadcasting career with WCAU in Philadelphia, then joined with Summerall on CBS during the 1970s. They worked three Super Bowls together. Summerall began working with John Madden during the 1981 season, but Brookshier continued to broadcast for CBS into the mid-1980s.

In December 1983, Brookshier created a stir during a telecast.

After a commercial for a coming

CBS telecast of a basketball game involving the University of Louisville, Brookshier said that the team’s players had “a collective IQ of about 40.” The network sent an apology and ordered Brookshier off the air for the last weekend of the NFL season. Brookshier called his remark “stupid” but criticized CBS for disciplining him. He later visited the Louisville campus to make amends.

Rare company The system would put Sisters in rare company. Schools in Enterprise and Burns are the only ones in Oregon with biomass systems already in place, according to Phil Chang, a program administrator at the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council.

COIC has advised the school district as it looked for biomass options.

The biomass system would help the district both save money and use renewable energy, Chang said.

“It’s a highly effective and appropriate use of wood for energy,” Chang said. “It lets (the district) do a good thing by getting renewable energy online.”

Using biomass can also help the local economy, according to Chang.

With a heating oil system, much of the money spent leaves the state, he said. A biomass system can use local wood that would otherwise go to waste, such as sawdust from mills and waste left from forest thinning projects.

“If the school district buys locally produced wood pellets, all of the money stays in the community and is circulated in the community,” Chang said. “We’re stopping the leakage of that (energy) money.”

Roads Continued from B1 The federal economic stimulus is paying $11.7 million of the three-year project, which has a total estimated cost of $16 million, according to ODOT’s Web site. Contractor Knife River is working on the project.

ODOT will also close Wimp Way at U.S. Highway 97 in Terrebonne at approximately 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, ODOT spokesman Peter Murphy wrote in an e-mail. The agency has installed a gate at the intersection, which will be closed and locked on Tuesday.

The road is located about a mile south of the Crooked River Gorge and is one of two routes into Crooked River Ranch. The other is Lower Bridge Way. ODOT staff believe the intersection is hazardous, and it has been targeted for closure since 2005.

Residents of Crooked River Ranch have opposed the closure, which is part of a larger ODOT project that included repaving five miles of highway, putting in pedestrian improvements such as sidewalks in Terrebonne, and adding new turn lanes at Lower Bridge Way.

Weather Continued from B1 The Cascades will likely get snow on Thursday night, then possibly rain on Friday and Saturday. A mix of rain and snow could hit the mountains Saturday night, and there is a chance of snow on Sunday.

Bend’s forecast shows the city will have mild daytime temperatures in the mid-40s this week, often accompanied by rain. As the Pacific storm sends disturbances up to Oregon, they will bring warmer temperatures from the southwest, Adams said.

But overnight temperatures will still dip down to freezing. Tonight, the snow level is forecast to be 4,000 feet.

In Prineville, temperatures will be similar this week, but there is a chance of snow before 10 a.m. this morning.

The snow level starts at about 3,900 feet tonight, then falls to 3,300 feet later in the evening.

Madras is also forecast to have daily high temperatures in the mid-40s and overnight lows just above freezing, with rain most of the week, according to the National Weather service. The agency does not expect snow in Madras this week.

Cary Stanfill, guest services manager at Mt. Bachelor, discusses guest services with OSU-Cascades students, from left, Kacy Hjeresen, Austin Yager and Danny Williams, during a tour of the ski resort Saturday as part of their mountain resort management class. Stanfill explained the goals of guest services along with the common problems she and her staff at Mt. Bachelor have to deal with on a regular basis.

Resort Continued from B1 “The more we can work together, the more we can build awareness of our area from both a skiing and riding perspective, and a higher education perspective,” Kaufman said.

Carmichael said of the six students currently enrolled in the class, several know they want to go into mountain resort management.

The difference is, while some of the students frequent Mt. Bachelor to ski, the class requires them to see the behindthe-scenes work that goes on in order to make their days on the slopes enjoyable.

“You don’t think about what it takes to get that mountain going,” Carmichael said. “If you’re going to consider working on a mountain, you need to see all of those working parts.”

That’s been the case for Austin

Yager. The 22-year-old transferred to OSU-Cascades this winter after four years at OSU’s Corvallis campus. He was looking for a course in mountain resort management, and has been pleased with the class so far.

“This class really caters to the path that I want to go into,” he said. “I want to get into resort management, and this is the first class they’ve had like this.”

Yager said he spends time at Mt. Bachelor, but the field trips to the resort have been eye-opening.

“You don’t (usually) see the factors that go into people’s jobs, you don’t see how hectic it can be,” he said. “This class is teaching me more about where I want to go than anything else.”

When he’s skiing, Yager said, he usually only interacts with ski patrol or lift operators.

“Getting to talk to the managers of the ski school and the rental shop, we learned how they have to plan for the day before

and the week before they’re going to have people up there,” he said.

The four scheduled on-mountain days run for 4.5 hours and allow students to examine different aspects of mountain management. Each time they go to the ski resort, students will spend time in different departments.

On Saturday, students learned more about lift operations and maintenance, and then spent time in the purchasing and receiving and information technology departments.

“And that’s just this week,” Carmichael said. “There are so many working parts of that mountain, and there are a lot of opportunities not only at Bachelor but in the industry as a whole.

And this course also allows students to meet a lot of managers and executives and do that networking.”

The time in class, Yager said, has helped him prepare questions for the managers he spends

time with at Mt. Bachelor, and also helps him know what to look for when he’s shadowing the resort workers.

Yager said the class is helping him better understand the business model.

Plus, it’s pretty fun.

“I think one of the unique things for these students is that the curriculum covers so many different facets,” Carmichael said, pointing to everything from marketing to accounting.

“It kind of shows how that core curriculum ties into something that students really love,” she said.

“It’s like, you really love skiing and you’re in your accounting classes thinking about skiing.

Now they can see that this is how business works, and it ties together and relates to something they really love.”

Judi Chamberlin, advocate for the mentally ill, dies at 65 New York Times News Service Judi Chamberlin, whose involuntary confinement in a mental hospital in the 1960s propelled her into a leading role in the movement to guarantee basic human rights to psychiatric patients, died Jan. 16 at her home in

Arlington, Mass. She was 65.

The cause was pulmonary disease, said Martin Federman, her companion since 2006.

“It was not into one of those horror-story-type places” that Chamberlin was committed in 1966, Federman said. Still, those

five months in a state hospital in New York City for a diagnosis of chronic depression were enough to prompt her to action.

She was then Judi Ross, 22 years old, and had suffered a miscarriage. “She didn’t get over that, as people kept telling her she

would,” Federman said. After several voluntary hospitalizations, she was involuntarily committed.

After her release, Chamberlin began working with several organizations in the budding rights movement for mental health patients.

Thinking of buying a horse?

Here’s some stuff to keep in mind

S

o you want your own horse.

THE FOOD Amaya Desapio, 7, and her sister Brooklyn, 9, fill feed buckets with hay for each of their seven horses. The buckets are filled the night before to help streamline the feeding process for the horses before the girls go to school in the morning. Horse owners pay around $600 to $800 per year for hay for a single horse.

THE CARE

Those taking the leap from riding someone else’s horse to buying their own need to under-

Amaya Desapio uses a hoof pick to remove debris compacted in the underside of her horse’s hoof. Picking out hoofs is an important task, and should be done daily and before and after riding to help ensure a healthy horse. One of the Desapio horses has soft soles, and Michelle Desapio says she’s never buying another horse without having a farrier check it out first.

Buying a first horse can be overwhelming. But many resources are available to get started: the Internet, the library, local veterinarians, equestrian clubs and equine

Michelle Desapio, of Crooked River Ranch, for example, has learned a few things during the last year. She grew up with horses, but didn’t realize the time and expense involved in owning them. Her parents took care of everything. Now she’s the parent.

After the family moved to Central Oregon a few years ago, she wanted horses for her family to ride on the federal land around their 6-acre property. Over the past 16 months, she’s accumulated six horses and a whole lot of knowledge.

The first horse she acquired, in retrospect, might not have been the right one for a relative neophyte.

“The first horse we got was really young and green, training-wise,” Desapio said.

She wanted kid-friendly horses for her young daughters. They bought that first horse because she was friendly and good with people.

“Kids could climb all over her, but she wasn’t ready to go riding with a saddle and bridle,” Desapio said.

“I would never buy another horse without having a farrier come with me to check out his feet,” she adds.

One of her horses, she found out later, has soft soles. His feet are expensive to maintain, and he can’t ride some places.

Horse ownership comes with some sacrifice, Desapio said.

The family can’t just take off for a vacation because finding good horse care is challenging.

If a horse needs to go to the vet, you can’t throw it into the car like a dog, she noted. You need a trailer

HORSE COUNTRY Tips Below are some tips from those with horse-buying experience.

Before you buy a horse: • Clarify for yourself exactly what you want to use the horse for so you know what kind of horse you need.

• Take someone experienced and knowledgeable with you when you shop for the horse: a friend, trainer, farrier, veterinarian, etc.

• Ask the seller to allow you to ride the horse first. Ride the horse before making any decisions. Visit more than once. Trust your instincts.

• Research the costs of horse ownership well. Equestrians say the cheapest part of horse ownership is buying the horse.

THE FUN Michelle Desapio assists her daughters Amaya, left, and Brooklyn with putting a bridle on their horse Isabella in preparation for a ride around their property Thursday. To Desapio, the cost of the horses is more than worth it for her daughters. “The alternative, the things they’d do as teenagers, I’d rather put my money into horses than probation officers,” she says.

It takes time. Horses need to be handled and socialized. Someone has to feed the horses twice a day and frequently break ice in the water trough during the winter.

You can’t make cats jump through hoops, but you can entice them Started in 2005, agility competitions for felines are catching on

Starlight, an Egyptian Mau kitten owned by cat agility expert Jill Archibald, leaps over a hurdle during an agility event. Archibald says agility competitions strengthen her relationship with her cats.

Dog agility competitions make great TV, with pooches racing around an obstacle course, jumping through hoops and dashing through tunnels. If you’ve seen it, though, your reaction probably wasn’t, “What about cats?”

But that’s exactly the thought that Kim Everett-Hirsch, of Portland, had before launching her first cat agility competition in 2005. “I thought there was no reason cats can’t do it.”

At that first competition, there were 30 cats, none of whom had ever seen the obstacle course before. And in the building next to the cat show, there was a motorcycle show.

“These people came on over,” Everett-Hirsch said. “They said, ‘you gotta be kidding.’ So they paid admission.” And as the cats came out and got the hang of it, she says, “They were standing up cheering them, ‘go girl go!’”

The jumps, tunnels, stairs and weave poles

used for cat agility will look familiar to anyone who’s seen the dog version of the sport, but the smaller size of the obstacles isn’t the only difference. Dogs are expected to perform each obstacle on command, in an order that isn’t obvious from the course layout. For cats, the obstacles are arranged in a circle, and the handler leads them around the course, making a game of it with a toy on a stick or a laser pointer.

“A cat’s a little different,” says Everett-Hirsch.

“They’re running the show. You have to make them want to do it.”

Although the sport hasn’t been going very long, there’s already conventional wisdom about what breeds are best suited to it.

That didn’t stop Donna Hinton, of Richmond, Texas, a serious competitor who has big Maine Coons instead of a lithe, short-haired Abyssinian. For her it’s not about the breed, it’s about the individual cat.

Leno won’t be the first TV star Man fears security of home may have been compromised to try to recapture the magic Dear Abby: We had a repairman in our home yesterday who needed to leave to go to the hardware store for a part.

My wife told him: “I have to go to pick up my son, so here’s my spare key. Let yourself back in.”

Abby, we do not know this man from Adam! He easily could have copied our key — he was going to the hardware store, after all — and returned to burglarize our home, or worse. We have three young children.

I realize my wife was in a tough spot. I know I should have more faith in the goodness of humanity, but I feel she put our family at risk. I’m considering having my locks changed. Your thoughts on the matter would be much appreciated.

— Protective in Livermore Dear Protective: You should not have a repairman in your home at any time unless the person is licensed, bonded and you have checked his references. If, heaven forbid, a home is burglarized, the owners should tell the police about any “stranger” who has been on the premises.

And if you would sleep better at night knowing you had changed the locks as a precaution, then that’s what you should do.

Dear Abby: I know thank-you notes are in order for wedding gifts, graduation presents and special anniversary gifts — but can the practice be overdone?

A woman in our group, “Bev,” delights in sending thank-you notes for every little thing. She means well, but it makes the rest of us feel awkward.

For example: One day she dropped by as I was preparing a tuna sandwich for lunch, so I offered her one. We ate them on paper plates with a cup of tea. A few days later, a thank-you note arrived, which surprised me.

Jay Leno will reclaim his seat at the “Tonight Show” desk on March 1. a winning return is the British comedy series “Absolutely Fabulous,” which ran from 1991 through 1996 and then picked up the ball for another three years starting in 2001.

With many entertainment personalities, the question is how much they should tweak the formula to stay relevant.

Tim Brooks, a former Lifetime, USA Network and NBC executive who co-authored “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV shows, 1946-Present,” pointed out that Raymond Burr was synonymous with his TV lawyer Perry Mason before he reinvented himself as the wheelchair-using detective in “Ironside.”

Likewise, Buddy Ebsen made the transition from the comedy “The Beverly Hillbillies” to the detective series “Barnaby Jones,” Andy Griffith applied his folksy “Andy Griffith Show” persona to the title defense attorney

of “Matlock,” and Bob Newhart thrived as a psychologist on “The Bob Newhart Show” and a similarly deadpan innkeeper on “Newhart” — though not as a cartoonist on “Bob” or Judd Hirsch’s fellow in-law on “George & Leo.” “I think the key is to do one of two things: Either go back real quick so people forget that you were somewhere else for a few months, which is the case with Leno, or, if you were gone way longer, come back having changed your program in some way,” Brooks said.

As far as change goes, sometimes you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. “The Carol Burnett Show” had a great CBS run from 1967 through 1978, but the beloved host couldn’t gain traction for a half-hour repertory comedy series, “Carol & Company” (1990-1991), or a new version of “The Carol Burnett Show” (1991).

“The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” which CBS famously canceled after objecting to the show’s countercultural content, came back in 1975 on NBC and in 1988 on CBS to little avail.

Brooks said Leno’s primetime ratings failure has been overstated. And neither expects Leno to have much trouble reclaiming his former standing.

He argued that Leno will have an easier time than displaced “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien, whose separation agreement with NBC requires him to remain off the air until September.

“That means that when (O’Brien) comes back, he has to come back with a splash,” Brooks said, “not just the same thing he was doing.”

Jay Leno is far from the only entertainment figure to go back to the well, reheat the souffle, reclaim the magic, recapture lightning in a bottle or pull off any other mixed metaphor you can think of.

Leno, as you may have heard, will return to his “Tonight Show” duties March 1, little more than nine months after he vacated his seat following a masses-pleasing 17-year run.

Like Season 8 of “Dallas,” Leno’s intervening, failed venture into prime time is now being dismissed as just a bad dream.

But reclaiming past glories can be a tricky task, even for those who haven’t been ridiculed by their peers on a nightly basis.

If Leno is seeking positive examples, he couldn’t do much better than Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy,” which Fox announced it was canceling at the end of its second season in 2000, brought back for a third season anyway, canceled more definitively and then revived once more in 2005, after the show took off on DVD and the Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” block. The controversial animated series is now in its eighth season and received an Emmy nomination for outstanding comedy series last year.

“Family Guy,” though, seems to be a case of the times having caught up to its particular, crude brand of humor, whereas Leno was No. 1 for the bulk of his “Tonight Show” run and only began showing weakness after “The Jay Leno Show” launched nightly in the 10 p.m. slot on NBC last fall.

you should also tell HER that in the future a simple thank-you in person or a phone call will suffice.

Dear Abby: I have a question I can’t ask of anyone but you. I am 84 years old, and I have been a widow for 10 years. I worked as a secretary all my life.

I am torn about accepting requests from a man I used to work for to “come and visit” him. This is not an invitation for a date — dinner, a movie, a drive. It’s nothing but “a visit.”

This happened before when I was divorced and living alone.

The “visit” consisted of hugging, kissing and sex. That’s all.

It made me feel cheap.

Although I would love to be kissed and hugged by a man as handsome as George Clooney, I feel he is trying to use me.

There is never any mention of a “date.” Please hasten your reply and tell me how I should handle this.

T-Pain’s one-hour animated special, “Freaknik: The Musical,” premieres March 7 on Adult Swim.

T-Pain gets animated, expresses his true self in ‘Freaknik: The Musical’

By Mesfin Fekadu The Associated Press

NEW YORK — You wouldn’t think T-Pain was inhibited at all.

But the rapper-singer, known for his synthesized vocals and catchy hooks, says he sometimes feels creatively restrained when it comes to music.

He says he was able to express his true self in “Freaknik: The Musical,” a one-hour animated special based on an annual, raucous and now-defunct Atlanta street party. It premieres March 7 on Adult Swim.

“You can’t do what you want to do, you can’t be as silly as you want to be (and) people won’t take you seriously in music,” TPain said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles on Wednesday.

“It was a gift ... I always wanted to do a cartoon, and I didn’t know it would be this good,” the 25-year-old said, who executive produced the special.

Freaknik was a college street party in Atlanta held each year from 1983 to 1999, and was full of images of sex, drinking and violence. It was held on the city’s downtown streets, initially for local black college students but developed into a spring-break destination that attracted more than 200,000 partygoers from across the country. Eventually, massive traffic jams led city officials to shut things down.

“It was just something I never got to go to,” T-Pain said. “I had to wait till I was 18 to go, and by the time I got 18, it was shut down.”

The cartoon, rated TV-MA, follows students who are looking to

resurrect the now-defunct street party, and T-Pain is the “party ghost.” It also features Andy Samberg, Lil’ Wayne, Bill Hader, Kelis, Snoop Dogg and George Clinton, among others.

Lil Wayne voices the character Trap Jesus, who T-Pain describes as having “a Jesus-type aura to him.” Samberg portrays a “frat boy,” while Kelis plays the role of Tyra Banks, whose television show T-Pain’s character appears on.

“Some people are going to hate it, some people are going to think it’s funny,” T-Pain said, who’s worked on the project for two years.

The television show isn’t the only thing the musician is getting ready for. T-Pain, who recorded a rap spoof with country starlet Taylor Swift that was a viral sensation last year, says he plans to add country influences — as well as other ones — to his upcoming CD, “RevolveR.” “I’ve done so much different things ... that really got me in the pop world and stuff like that, so a lot of different audiences are looking at me now,” he said of the new album, which will still feature his signature Auto-Tune effect.

He’s hoping to record a song with Carrie Underwood.

“I already wrote the song and everything, so it wouldn’t be that hard to do,” he said of the possible duet.

“We’ve been reaching out, but you know country artists are probably the most touring (artists) in the world, so it’s kind of hard to get in touch.”

Infection puts R&B legend Etta James in the hospital The Associated Press RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Etta James’ son says the 72-year-old R&B singer is hospitalized in Southern California with a serious infection, but he expects her to be released soon.

Donto James says his mother has been at Riverside Community Hospital for about a week and is recovering from sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.

He says James, who lives in Woodcrest, entered a treatment program about a month ago to shake a dependency on painkillers and over-the-counter medicine. She was transferred to another facility and then the hospital when her physical condition worsened.

James, who sang everything from blues to jazz, is best known for the hit “At Last.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Feb. 1, 2010: This year, you move in a new direction. Make a different decision or open another door. You might be quite excited by what life presents.

Grab an opportunity with quickness and alertness. Be careful when dealing with finances, as you could witness some wild swings up and down. Manage your funds well, and you will come out on top.

If you are single, a partnership becomes a high priority. Just don’t settle. You Aquarians have a lot to offer. Remember that. If you are attached, the two of you become more in sync than in the past. VIRGO understands you a little too well for your taste.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Mellow out before you walk into work. Others need you to do this or that ASAP. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective, you are known for handling certain matters. Tonight: Go for an early bedtime.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others tap into your ingenuity. The issue for you might lie in what you will do when you realize someone distorts your concept or actually destroys it. Let go of rigidity. An idea or concept is nothing more than that. Don’t share it if you feel territorial. Tonight: Surprises and friendship mix.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH If you can take off or take a

personal day, the time is perfect.

Listen to news that is forthcoming.

You laugh, and others lighten up.

Just because Monday is associated with work doesn’t mean you must work. Tonight: Play it low-key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH How you feel about an issue is directly reflected in what you say. Use care, because you could discover that although someone says the right words, he or she might not necessarily agree. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Don’t wonder; find out.

What is occurring could be rather surprising. Observe rather than react. Continue to maintain a low profile financially, and make no new investments. You will be much happier as a result.

Tonight: Rethink an expenditure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Realize that while others fret, you are in a position to sleuth out solutions and come to the rescue. Though this role is not your normal one, it certainly opens doors. Evaluate and think before you leap into action. Tonight: As you like it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might want to realize what is going on with a child or loved one. You will want to do more for this person, though the timing could be off. How you deal with someone could vary. Think deeply before acting. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. You will need the rest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on more of what

you desire. Your ability to make an impression and keep a situation focused comes through. A meeting will help direct your energy where you want it. Supporters seem to naturally surface. Tonight: Where the action is, of course.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You can bypass issues only if you decide to assume a stronger leadership role. You understand far more than others realize. Take a situation from the top and look at it from a new perspective. A family member has the capacity to create a tremendous uproar.

Tonight: A must appearance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Invite your mind to stretch. Drop locked thinking, and at that point you can get past an issue. Review recent events with more care. You know where you are going and why. Investigate opportunities.

Tonight: In the thick of things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Knowing that someone else has it all handled can and will make all the difference. Loosen up and be more receptive to what someone is offering you. He or she really cares.

Don’t get stuck in negative thinking.

Tonight: Use care with your bills.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take your time coming to a conclusion. How you handle a problem and what you do with it could change radically. Investigate ideas more openly and with greater give-and-take. You could be amazed by what emerges. Tonight: Don’t shake up a loved one. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Bloomberg News

Dog genes that code for signature traits of pets like the furrowed skin of the Shar-Pei have been identified in a study that shows how centuries of breeding gave rise to 400 kinds of domestic dogs.

Researchers analyzed the genes of 275 dogs in 10 different domesticated groups to see how breeding practices have altered their DNA, the hereditary template in their cells. The results, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Jan. 25, show some conspicuous physical traits, or phenotypes, such as height and coat color, can be traced to particular genes of beagles, border collies, dachshunds and poodles, among others.

“When you have a Chihuahua that’s 9 inches tall and a Great Dane that’s 7 feet tall, that can be traced back to IGF1,” the gene that influences dog size, said Joshua Akey, a geneticist at the University of Washington in Seattle who was the paper’s lead author.

Understanding how breeding leads to artificial selection of some doggy DNA can clarify the way genes give rise to appearance and behavior in other species, the researchers said. Such knowledge “holds considerable promise for pro-

Dog genes identified, showing how breeds adopted their traits

By Ellen Gibson

Seven-yearold Amaya Desapio brushes her horse Isabella in preparation for a ride around her home Thursday evening.

Brushing your horse not only keeps its coat smooth and shiny, it also helps keep irritants and bacteria away from the skin.

viding unique insights into the genetic basis of heritable variation in humans,” the authors wrote.

As one of the world’s mostdiverse mammals, dogs are “a great system for understanding how genetic variation influences how individuals in a population act differently, look different and have different susceptibilities to disease,” Akey said in a telephone interview.

Through their analyses, the researchers discovered that the most genetically distinct breeds were the German shepherd, Shar-Pei, beagle and greyhound.

Domesticated dogs have been bred for more than 14,000 years, the report said. The strict form of selective breeding used today to turn out desired characteristics in the animals is a more recent phenomenon, according to the report.

“Most dog breeds were formed in the last 500 to 1,000 years, a relatively short time frame in terms of evolution,” Akey said.

Today, there are more than 400 genetically distinct breeds of domestic dog, yet “relatively little progress has been made on systematically identifying which regions of the canine genome have been influenced by selective breeding during the natural history of the dog,” the study said.

Horse Continued from C1 “There are days when it’s 10 below and you’re out there trying to feed, and your eyes are freezing on your face, and I ask, ‘Why are we doing this?’” Desapio answered herself: “For what my kids get out of it.

“I’m sure it’ll get more expensive as we go. One (daughter) wants to do dressage, another expense. It’s OK. The alternative, the things they’d do as teenagers, I’d rather put my money into horses than probation officers,” she said.

Desapio and her husband work for the prison in Madras. She said she sees other kids her daughters’ ages (7 and 9) and they play “horrific” video games. “My kids are out there playing with their horses,” she said with pride.

First step Experts say the key step to buying your first horse is defining exactly what kind will suit your needs. What do you want: A pasture ornament? A trail rider?

A show horse?

“You need to understand what kind of horse you are looking for. They all have different uses,” said Prineville veterinarian Rhet Schultz, owner of Prineville Veterinary Clinic.

“Don’t rush into the first horse you see,” said Cassee Terry, a veterinarian at the Redmond Veterinary Clinic. “Ride, and talk to people.”

Both veterinarians said quarter horse stock typically are ideal pleasure horses for family-style trail riding, and for beginners and children. Warm bloods and thoroughbreds are not generally ideal first horses, Terry said.

For first-time horse buyers, Terry strongly suggested buying older horses that are well trained.

Terry, who grew up with horses, also recommended geldings, neutered males. She admitted that it’s a personal preference,

Agility Continued from C1 “You need a cat that has a good attention span, that’s toy-driven,” she says. “I’ve had some that decided ‘I tried it, it’s not my cup of tea.’ You can’t make them do it.”

Success is also very much about the handler’s skill and relationship with its animal. “You have to be in tune to your cat,” says Hinton. “You have to be three feet ahead and anticipate their moves.”

Since that first show in 2005, the sport has been gradually growing, with 10 competitions in the past year. It’s also spreading to other countries: This year, for the first time, there will be a competition in Hong Kong and in mainland China. This season will also be the first in which the Cat Fanciers’ Association will start

To learn important basic horse health care, attend a one-day workshop presented by the Bend Equine Medical Center on Saturday, Feb. 20, in Sisters and Tumalo. Topics include: proper bandaging techniques to help heal horse injuries; how to perform a physical exam on your horse, including how to monitor heart and respiratory rates, gastrointestinal sounds and more; and best nutritional practices for optimal growth and health.

Cost: $40 for lecture and choice of two hands-on lab sessions. Lecture only: $20.

Lecture: 10 a.m. to noon at the Five Pines Conference Center, 1021 Desperado Trail, Sisters. 541-549-5900 Hands-on labs: 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Bend Equine Medical Center, 19121 Couch Market Road, Tumalo.

Deadline to register is Feb. 15. Registration forms: www.bendequine .com. Or: 541-388-4006, bemc@bendnet.com.

Also, Central Oregon Community College Continuing Education courses include a general horse health class in the fall. It’s typically an overview of equine health practices and preventive care, taught by a veterinarian. The six-week class will take 12 hours and cost $59. Information: 541-383-7270.

but she believes their personalities are more calm and consistent than a hormonal mare’s.

New horse owners should learn some basic medical and first-aid skills and how to recognize horse behavior, such as potentially dangerous flight responses, a natural horse instinct that can get them into trouble, Schultz said.

Owners also need to learn about the quality of feed. Good nutrition, he said, is crucial to avoiding medical problems.

Books and community education courses are good places to start. An upcoming workshop through the Bend Equine Medical Center and fall courses through Central Oregon Community College’s community education program are available locally to learn basic health care for horses. Schultz and Terry have both taught COCC’s class in the past (see “Local classes”).

Where to buy There are hundreds of good beginner horses for sale in Central Oregon. Search newspapers and the Internet to get an idea of what’s available. Talk to veteri-

narians, riding clubs and horse rescue missions, such as Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, Terry said.

Cost The cost of buying the horse itself is fairly low right now, due to the national economic situation, many say. Horses can range from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. But that’s just the beginning.

Maintaining a horse can cost $2,000 to $5,000 a year, and that’s assuming there’s no major health emergency, such as colic, that requires surgery.

Here are some of the major, ongoing expenses: • Food: The biggest expense, Terry and Schultz say, is food.

Hay can cost almost $200 per ton, and a horse can eat 3 to 4 tons per year if it’s not grazing in a pasture, for an annual bill of around $600 to $800 just for hay. Some horses eat grain and supplements, too.

• Horse health care: Keeping the feet shod or the hooves trimmed depends on the horse’s feet and use, but farriers often maintain a horse’s feet every six to eight weeks, and it can cost anywhere

“What ends up happening is that you and your cat start understanding each other. ... If I walk out of the room and call their names, they come. They’re very responsive to me now.”

— Jill Archibald, agility coordinator, Cat Fanciers’ Association

granting titles to the highest scoring competitors.

Anyone can enter a show and try out agility with his or her cat, says Jill Archibald, CFA’s agility coordinator. It doesn’t need to be a purebred, and it doesn’t need to have been trained in advance.

While experienced cats and handlers may finish a course in under 10 seconds, everyone gets three chances, for 4½ minutes each try.

“Each time they come back, usually the cat has more of a clue what they’re doing, and the handler figures out how to place the toy to get the cat to respond,” she says.

The only preparation you need is that your cat has to be comfortable in strange places. Get it used to going out, for example to pet stores that allow animals.

You can also prepare it by tak-

ing it to cat shows, even those that aren’t offering agility. Any cat can participate in the “household pet” class.

One benefit of agility, like any kind of training, is how it affects your relationship with your animal.

“What ends up happening is that you and your cat start understanding each other,” says Archibald. She says of her Japanese Bobtails, “They like interacting with me that much more now. If I walk out of the room and call their names, they come. They’re very responsive to me now.”

And it’s a great way to see your cat being a cat, demonstrating its natural speed, intelligence and — what else — agility.

“When you get a cat that enjoys it, nothing’s more beautiful than putting a cat down, and it hits the stairs and knows what it’s doing,” says Hinton.

from $250 to $500 a year depending on various factors. Terry said Morgan horses and Arabians tend to have more solid feet. Others with weaker feet might need shoes, which cost more.

Schultz said a horse owner should budget $300 to $400 a year for regular veterinarian care such as deworming and vaccinations. Terry added dental care, which can cost up to $300 a year.

Schultz recommended keeping as much as $1,000 in a savings account for common emergencies such as cuts, stitches and illnesses.

• Housing: Horses need about an acre of pasture each for grazing, Terry said. Grazing on pastures can help keep hay costs down, but pastures need irrigation, and that leads to more equipment to maintain.

Horses need some sort of windbreak and rain protection, such as a lean-to, or trees. Some people use stables and stalls to house their horses.

For those who don’t have land, the cost of boarding a horse can be $2,000 to $4,000 a year, Schultz said.

• Time commitment: There’s no exact prescribed amount of time you have to devote to your horse, but most need to be fed twice a day. Horses need water, and in winter months it can take some work to keep it thawed. And the more time spent with your horses, grooming or walking or cleaning the stall, the better able you are to ensure they’re healthy, both veterinarians said.

• Exercise: A horse that lives on acreage doesn’t need to be ridden daily because it can stroll around and kick up its legs at will. A horse that lives in a stall needs regular walking. Terry said it’s important to not overdo it on the first nice spring day after a winter of inactivity. Just like people, horses need to build up slowly to prevent injuries.

WINTER X GAMES Bend boarder wins bronze at X Games ASPEN, Colo. — Bend’s Janna Meyen-Weatherby claimed the bronze medal Sunday in the women’s snowboard slopestyle event at the Winter X Games.

Meyen-Weatherby, 32, was vying for her fifth gold medal in slopestyle at the X Games; she won the event four consecutive years, from 2003 to 2006. She did not compete last year, and she was 11th at the 2008 X Games.

Jenny Jones, of Great Britain, won the gold medal with a best-run score of 92.66. Jamie Anderson, of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., won the silver with a score of 89.33.

Meyen-Weatherby’s best run netted a score of 75.66.

In slopestyle, riders are judged on tricks performed along a course of jumps and rails. Scores are based on the degree of difficulty and execution of each trick.

According to www.expn. com, Meyen-Weatherby was close to successfully executing a cab 900 (2.5 rotations), which would have been a Winter X Games first for a woman. But she dragged her hand on the landing and ended up with the bronze.

“I came here to do my run,” Meyen-Weatherby was quoted saying on www.expn.com.

“I didn’t give a crap where it left me at the end of the day. I wasn’t here to do the contest, I was here to beat myself.”

“Janna Meyen is my legend, she’ll always be my legend,” Jones, the gold medalist, was quoted saying on the Web site. For more X Games, see Page D3.

Reversal of fortunes

Summit high seniors Justin Huckins (left) Cody Absalon (center) and Matt Meagher have led the Storm to a 4-2 IMC record so far this season after going 0-10 playing football in the fall.

After winless season in football, Summit players are motivated to turn the tables in basketball Beau Eastes

J

ustin Huckins is enjoying Summit High’s current boys basketball run.

Halfway through the Storm’s league schedule, Summit is 5-2 in Intermountain Conference play and in a three-way tie for second place. If the season ended today, the Storm would advance to the state playoffs for the first time since 2005.

“This is the most fun I’ve ever had,” says Huckins, a springy 6-foot senior guard who last Tuesday night at Bend High banked in a desperate three-pointer as time expired to give the Storm a 51-50 victory over the rival Lava

Bears.

“Since football,” Huckins insists, “we’ve been ready to go.”

While the Storm’s latest football season was one to forget — they went 0-10 and scored just 83 points in 2009, the second-lowest total in Oregon Class 5A — Summit’s struggles on the gridiron may have helped propel its boys basketball team to its best IMC start in recent years. Along with Huckins — who was the Storm’s starting quarterback last fall — fellow seniors Matt Meagher and Cody Absalon are Summit football players who have helped guide the Storm to this season’s fast basketball start.

“We’re playing with a chip on our shoulder,” says Meagher, a 6-foot, 215-pound linebacker during the football season and a power forward in basketball. “We’re excited to get back and beat people.”

Saints’ fans put Katrina in the past

By Cain Burdeau The Associated Press

AWARDS Culver athlete a winner at Oregon Sports Awards BEAVERTON — Heisman Trophy finalist Ndamukong Suh and three-time NBA AllStar Brandon Roy were big winners at the Oregon Sports Awards Sunday night, while Nevin Lewis of Culver took a smaller school prep athlete honor.

The Johnny Carpenter prep athlete category expanded from two awards to four awards this year, with honors going to athletes from Class 6A/5A and Class 4A/3A/2A/1A. From the larger classifications, the winners were Elizabeth Brenner of Jesuit High School and Ryan Crouser of Barlow. The smaller schools’ winners were Taylor Wallace of Henley and co-boys winners Lewis and Jordan Poyer of Astoria.

Lewis, now a football player at Portland State, won 2A state titles in the 100, 200 and 400 meters as well as the long jump, setting meet records in each event.

Suh, the All-American defensive tackle from Nebraska and graduate of Portland’s Grant High School, won the Bill Hayward amateur athlete award for men.

Trail Blazers guard Roy took the Harry Glickman professional athlete honor for men for the third consecutive year, joining Dan Fouts, Peter Jacobsen and Dale Murphy as three time winners of the award. Clyde Drexler won the Glickman five times.

Olympic gold-medal winning fencer Mariel Zagunis of Beaverton won the Glickman female award.

Minam Cravens, 10, smacks a gate as he speeds down the course while competing in the J5 division of the Mini World Cup slalom race on Ed’s Garden at Mount Bachelor Sunday morning.

In the beginning Mini World Cup: An opportunity to ski race every weekend

By Katie Brauns The Bulletin

MOUNT BACHELOR — A course is a course is a course. A path is provided.

As parents of young ski racers see it, the gates are laid out the same whether racing against the best in the world or on the home hill against friends.

“For these kids, especially with slalom/giant slalom, it’s the same whether it is Mini World Cup or World Cup: To ski well is the same,” noted Mark Ford as he watched youngsters race from the top of the Mini World Cup course at Mount Bachelor on Sunday.

Ford is the father of Tommy Ford, the

20-year-old Bend skier who recently made the U.S. Olympic Alpine Ski Team and was once a racer with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation’s Mini World Cup youth alpine ski program.

And according to dad, “It wasn’t long ago at all that he (Tommy Ford) raced in the Mini World Cup and races like this with MBSEF. … The time from here (MWC) to there (the Olympics) is actually pretty fast.”

NEW ORLEANS — On his feet, his insides roiling like a butter churn, Percy “PJ” Williams Jr. pulled his leather Saints helmet over his face and closed his eyes.

“Look! Look! Watch this game, baby!” his wife gushed.

“I can’t do it!” PJ blurted, hiding his face. Next up Over and over • Super Bowl, again he cried: Indianapolis “Please, Lord, vs. New let this guy Orleans make this field goal ... Please, • When: Sunday, Feb. Lord, let this 7, 3:25 p.m. guy ... Please, Lord ...”

• TV: CBS The scene: Jan. 24, Section 302 of the Superdome, row 14, seats 15 and 16. Two die-hard Saints fans. The play: Overtime, and Garrett Hartley readies for a 40-yard field goal to send the Saints on their first trip to the Super Bowl.

Snap. Kick. Victory.

Everywhere around the city of New Orleans, people cried, or screamed, or both. Nuns danced.

Grannies, toddlers, waiters, yogis and jazzmen — all of them donned black and gold. Friends embraced. Shoot, even strangers embraced. Behind PJ, a man and woman wept together.

For a moment, PJ himself was speechless. All he could do was listen to the roar.

Federer beats Murray for 16th Grand Slam title TENNIS

By John Pye The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer experienced quite a range of emotions these past two Australian Opens.

A year ago, he sobbed on court after losing a thrilling final in five sets.

Federer was all smiles Sunday after rather easily beating Andy Murray 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11) for a fourth championship in Melbourne and 16th Grand Slam title overall.

“All of a sudden, it was over, and it hit me,” Federer said. “It was very much a roller-coaster.”

While Murray missed a chance to end a drought for British men at Grand Slam tournaments that stretches all the way to 1936, Federer became the first Dad to win a major singles title since 2003. He also now can aim at a true, calendar-year Grand Slam, something no man has accomplished since

1969.

“I’m over the moon winning this again,” the 28-year-old Swiss star said. “I played some of my best tennis in my life these last two weeks.

It’s also very special — the first Grand Slam as a father.”

This time, Federer was in control of the action pretty much throughout against Murray, and afterward, it was the 22-year-old from Scotland whose voice was breaking and who was choking back tears.

“I can cry like Roger,” Murray said. “It’s just a shame I can’t play like him.”

Murray said he had chances in the first and third sets to put more pressure on Federer, but wasn’t given any room to take the next step.

Now he’ll take a break, and rethink his strategy after moving to No. 3 in the rankings.

Federer was in his 22nd Grand Slam final — 18 of the last 19. Murray made history just by reaching his second Grand Slam final, the first British man to reach two major finals in the Open era, which began in 1968. He lost his previous final to Federer, too, in straight sets at the 2008 U.S. Open.

Federer broke Murray’s serve twice in the opening set and once in the second. Federer rallied from 5-2 down in the third, breaking Murray when he served to push the match into a fourth set.

In the tiebreaker, Federer saved five set points, and wasted two match points, before he converted his third. It was all over in 2 hours, 41 minutes.

For Murray, it was all over too quickly. For Federer, it was celebrations as usual with close friends and family — although now he needs to make sure not to wake the babies.

Schaub helps lead AFC to Pro Bowl victory over NFC 41-34

By Steven Wine The Associated Press

Mark Humphrey / The Associated Press

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub (8) throws a pass during the NFL football Pro Bowl Sunday in Miami. Schaub was named the game’s Most Valuable Player as the AFC beat the NFC 41-34.

MIAMI — In its new role as a warmup to the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl became a series of wind sprints.

Long gains were the rule and hard hitting was the exception as the AFC beat the NFC 41-34 on Sunday night.

Light showers fell for much of the game, stirring memories of a rainy Super Bowl in Miami three years ago. But uniforms remained mostly spotless, with more pushing and shoving than tackling.

“It’s different. It was like 7 on 7,” NFC linebacker Brian Orakpo said. “Everybody came out here trying not to get hurt and give the fans a good show.”

Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans threw for 189 yards and two AFC scores, and was chosen the most valuable player.

“It’s a game you watch growing up as a kid and wonder if you could ever be in,” Schaub said. “To actually be a

NFL: PRO BOWL part of it is incredible.”

Aaron Rodgers also threw two touchdown passes, and NFC teammate DeSean Jackson had two scoring catches.

From the standpoint of ticket sales, this year’s new venue and slot on the league calendar was a success. The crowd of 70,697 was the largest for a Pro Bowl since 1959 in Los Angeles.

Spectators included Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and other Pro Bowl players from the Super Bowl teams.

Manning and the Indianapolis Colts will face Brees and the New Orleans Saints on the same field next Sunday in the biggest game of the season.

Eager to host more big events, the Dolphins have proposed adding a roof that would cover fans as part of stadium improvements that could cost $250 million or more. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the upgrades are needed

if South Florida is to remain competitive in bidding for future Super Bowls.

Nearly 40 percent of the players originally selected for the game didn’t play.

One of the AFC replacements, David Garrard, threw for 183 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown to Vincent Jackson.

Vincent Jackson made seven catches for 122 yards. Chad Ochocinco had a 40-yard reception but didn’t do any kicking after practicing placements and punts for the AFC during the week.

DeSean Jackson scored on a 7-yard pass from Rodgers and a 58-yard pass from Donovan McNabb, his regular quarterback with the Eagles.

There were plenty of other big plays.

Joshua Cribbs caught a punt at the goal line and returned it 65 yards. A penalty negated LaMarr Woodley’s 64-interception return for a touchdown.

The AFC totaled 517 yards and the NFC 470. Both teams threw for more than 400 yards.

GOLF ROUNDUP

NHL ROUNDUP

Putting helps lead Crane to tourney victory

Stars fall to former coach, Coyotes

The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Ben Crane put his name back in the news for the best reason of all. He won another golf tournament.

Crane, from Beaverton, made two birdie putts longer than 45 feet to build a big enough cushion that missing a few short putts down the stretch didn’t cost him Sunday in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

Crane knocked in a 30-inch par putt on the final hole for a 2under 70 and a one-shot victory over Michael Sim, Brandt Snedeker and Marc Leishman. It was Crane’s third career victory, and first in nearly five years, and this one earned him a trip back to the Masters.

With a reputation for slow play, perhaps it was only fitting that Crane was the last one to know he had won.

He made it a point not to look at a leaderboard throughout the final round, and didn’t know the result until Ryuji Imada congratulated him on the 18th green.

Even in post-round therapy for his back, Crane said he doesn’t talk about results, only the process.

But for his first victory since Milwaukee in 2005?

“I think it’s OK to get out of the moment for tonight,” he said, smiling.

The last time Crane made news, he was inadvertently swept up in the Tiger Woods scandal when a gossip magazine attributed quotes to him that he never made. Life & Style said it spoke to Crane at Q-school, even though Crane was never there.

Crane handled that situation with the same even hand he displayed on a cool, breezy afternoon along the Pacific bluffs.

Starting the final round two shots behind, he opened with three birdies in five holes, including one from just over 45 feet on No. 3. He expanded his lead to three shots with another 45-foot birdie putt on the 11th.

Then, it was a matter of hanging on.

He had plenty of challengers, although Phil Mickelson wasn’t one of them. Making his season debut, and only four shots behind, Mickelson bogeyed his first three holes and was never a factor.

Robert Allenby made a charge only to fall back by losing five shots in four holes, including a tee shot that vanished into the canyon. Sim, the 25-year-old Australian, kept with Crane the entire round and had his chances to the very end.

Also on Sunday: Swede takes Qatar Masters DOHA, Qatar — Robert Karlsson of Sweden shot a 7-under 65 to win the Qatar Masters by three strokes. The 40-year-old Karlsson made seven birdies to finish 15-under 273 at Doha Golf Club for his 10th European Tour victory, his first since missing several months last season due to an eye injury.

Gates wins Nationwide debut QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand — Robert Gates became the 13th player to win his Nationwide Tour debut, closing with a 2-over 74 in windy conditions for a one-stroke victory in the tour’s season-opening New Zealand Open. Gates had a 14-under 274 total at The Hills. He opened with rounds of 65, 67 and 68 in the event also sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Lindsey Vonn speeds down the course during the alpine ski women’s World Cup super-G race in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Sunday.

Vonn placed first with a time of 1 minutes, 1.77 seconds. It was her ninth win of the season.

Healthy Vonn is ready for Olympics SKIING: WORLD CUP

The Associated Press ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Lindsey Vonn heads to the Vancouver Olympics happy and healthy after enjoying a perfect Sunday.

“Now I feel like I’m ready,” Vonn said after winning a super-G race at St. Moritz, her final World Cup event before the Feb. 12-28 games.

“I’m definitely in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Mentally and physically prepared.”

Vonn kept her promise to first take care of World Cup business.

She extended her lead in the overall standings, clinched the super-G title with two races to spare and took instant revenge against a course that on Saturday tricked her out of a chance to go unbeaten all season in downhill.

Minutes before racing Sunday, she even got near a television to watch her good friend Roger Federer on his relentless victory march at the Australian Open.

Best of all, Vonn completed her 26-race, pre-Olympic program with nine wins, confident and injury-free.

“I’m really relieved that I made it through the World Cup with no injuries,” Vonn said.

“That is absolutely the worst thing that could possibly happen. It’s kind of been on my mind.”

Vonn then reeled off the names of three expected rivals in speed events who succumbed to season-ending knee injuries in the past 10 days.

Nadia Fanchini’s nasty crash Sunday caused serious damage to both knees. The 23-year-old Italian got bronze in downhill when Vonn won world championships gold last February.

Olympic downhill silver medalist Martina Schild landed badly in training at St.

Moritz last Wednesday, days after fellow Swiss Fraenzi Aufdenblatten fell in a giant slalom at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

Switzerland already lost its top downhill prospect in the offseason. Teenager Lara Gut, who got the worlds silver behind Vonn, dislocated her right hip in a training spill.

“You see injuries and see things like that happen,” the 25-year-old Vonn said. “All you can do is stay focused on your race.

That comes from maturity.

“Having that mental strength is really important, not just for World Cup racing but also for the Olympics.”

Vonn cited the racers’ creed that skiing cautiously to avoid injury often ends up causing one.

Aggressive tactics worked well Sunday as she mastered the bottom half of a Corviglia course shortened for safety reasons because of strong winds higher up the mountain.

Vonn wanted to “take revenge on the hill” for the frustration she felt Saturday when her bid for a sixth win in as many downhills was knocked off course by hitting a hole in the snow. She placed fifth and let winner Maria Riesch close the gap in their race for the overall title, before recovering all that ground and more on Sunday as her German friend finished 11th.

“It’s great to come back strong after a disappointing day,” said Vonn, who said her husband Thomas helped talk her through putting the loss into perspective.

Vonn now returns to the U.S. women’s team base in Austria before flying out this week for a brief stop at home in Park City, Utah, then on to chase her Olympics des-

tiny as a designated star of the show.

Vancouver will be her third Olympics though perhaps the first where all is aligned to win the first medal she craves.

At the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, Vonn said: “I was a kid, it doesn’t really count.”

She has also learned a lesson from Turin where she raced after getting injured in a downhill training crash that sent her to the hospital.

On Whistler Mountain, she’ll save the aggressive stuff for race day.

“I think that’s a better plan than trying to win the training run,” she joked, having got this far unscathed.

“I feel healthy, I feel strong, I have selfconfidence. They’re all the things I need going into Vancouver.”

In another event on Sunday: Austria’s Herbst wins World Cup slalom KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia — Reinfried Herbst led an Austrian 1-2 finish at a men’s World Cup slalom for his second win in six days.

Herbst finished the course in a combined time of 1 minute, 45.35 seconds to beat Marcel Hirscher by 0.40 seconds for his fourth victory of the season and ninth overall. He also won Tuesday at Schladming, Austria.

“It went really well. I have been suffering from back problems but felt very well before the race,” Herbst said. “I am very proud about my second run as conditions were very difficult.”

Herbst said he is glad to now have some time off before the Vancouver Olympics.

“I need a break now,” Herbst said. “January has been very intense. On the other hand, in this kind of form you’re always happy to have another race coming up.”

WINTER X GAMES NOTEBOOK

Canadians sweep medals in men’s Skier X The Associated Press ASPEN, Colo. — Already so good in the aerials and moguls, the Canadians found another freestyle event to dominate.

All part of the country’s attempt to win the medal count at the Vancouver Games, starting in less than two weeks.

Led by Chris Del Bosco, the Canadians swept the medals in men’s Skier X (‘skicross’ in Olympic parlance) at the Winter X Games on Sunday. Dave Duncan took second and Brady Leman captured third.

On the women’s side, Canada’s Ashleigh McIvor finished runner-up to France’s Ophelie David, who won her fourth straight title. McIvor’s teammate, Kelsey Serwa, wound up third.

All of this bodes well for Canada’s quest, which begins on the first full day of competition, Feb. 13, when Jenn Heil takes to the freestyle moguls course.

“That was our mandate when we put the team together — to win medals in Vancouver,” Del Bosco said. “It’s going to be really fun to watch.”

This is how deep Canada has become in skicross: Leman isn’t even on the Olympic team.

Stanley Hayer, not Leman, is the third member of the squad.

Hayer finished seventh Sunday.

“When you have all these great skiers, skiing together, learning from each other and pushing each other, the level just elevates,” said Del Bosco, who has dual U.S. and Cana-

McIvor charged out to an early lead in the women’s race, only to be tracked down by David. The two figure to vie for first and second in Vancouver.

“Of course, you want to win.

But when it’s Ophie that passes me, sometimes I go, ‘OK, she’s the best in the world,’ ” McIvor said.

Jenny Jones Show: Even with a sore knee, Britain’s Jenny Jones was able to pull off a fantastic final run to move ahead of

Jamie Anderson and successfully defend her title in the women’s snowboard slopestyle event.

“I’m stoked for Jenny. She rode really well,” Anderson said.

Anderson was just happy to be back on the slopes at Winter X. She fractured her pelvis a week before the event last year and had to watch from the sideline.

This was the second medal for the Anderson family. Her older sister, Joanie, won bronze in Snowboarder X on Saturday.

Kickers: Snowmobiler Tucker Hibbert simply can’t be caught

ASPEN, Colo. — U.S. Olympic freestyle skier Daron Rahlves dislocated his right hip after a nasty wreck in his opening skicross race Sunday at the Winter X Games.

The injury is a setback as Rahlves prepares to compete in Vancouver, but a doctor who checked him out at the scene was optimistic after the crash that resulted in the 36-yearold’s fourth hip dislocation.

“People who have multiple hip dislocations, the tissues get so loose and go in and out and it doesn’t cause so much damage,” said Dr. Kevin Stone, who looked in on Rahlves after the wreck.

“Hopefully, that’s the situation here and hopefully he can come back quickly.”

A few hours after the accident, X Games officials said the hip had been popped back into place, and that Rahlves was putting pressure on it. He was released from the hospital late Sunday afternoon.

DALLAS — Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett refused to gloat after his new team beat his old one.

Shane Doan had a goal and two assists, Ilya Bryzgalov made 38 saves, and Phoenix stretched its winning streak to four games with a 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday in Tippett’s return to Texas.

Tippett coached the Stars from 2002 until his firing last June.

He was hired in September by the Coyotes, who’ve weathered a bankruptcy filing and threats of relocation to become surprise contenders.

“There are a lot of great friends that are on that team,” Tippett said. “I had a great time here, seven years is a long time to be in one place, great memories. But I think they’ve moved on and I’ve moved on. Once the puck drops, the game’s on, just like any other game.”

Keith Yandle notched his fourth goal in four games, and Peter Mueller and Radim Vrbata added goals for the Coyotes, 3-0 against the Stars this season.

Bryzgalov improved to 29-144, establishing a career high for victories in a season, as the Coyotes won for the second time in less than 24 hours. Phoenix beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Saturday night in Glendale.

Doan continues on a hot streak with five goals and 10 assists in his last seven games.

Suns need overtime to get past Rockets The Associated Press HOUSTON — The Phoenix Suns finally figured out how to win the kind of road game they’ve been losing lately.

Amare Stoudemire scored a season-high 36 points, Steve Nash handed out 16 assists and the Suns snapped a five-game road losing streak with a 115-111 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.

Nash scored 11 points and grabbed a season-high eight rebounds, and Grant Hill added 19 points for the Suns, who got their first road win since a 113109 victory in Sacramento on Jan. 5. Their last road win before that came on Nov. 29 in Toronto.

“A lot of things didn’t go our way, and we found a way to hang around and get it done,” Nash said. “On the road, the way we’ve lost a lot of games like that this year, to have the toughness to continue and find different ways to win the game was exciting.”

Aaron Brooks scored 24 points after shooting poorly in the first half and Trevor Ariza had 21 for the Rockets, who’ve lost five of their last eight games.

Arizona beats Cal, now tied T for Pac-10 lead

Los Angeles Times

TUCSON, Ariz. — Four weeks after absorbing the worst loss in McKale Center history, Arizona is tied for the Pac-10 lead.

Nic Wise matched a career high with 30 points, and Arizona defeated California 76-72 on Sunday to grab a share of first place at the midway point.

“This is, to me, the best win of our season because of who we played,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said.

“Cal is a terrific team, and the stakes were high. It’s always interesting to see how your team plays in big moments, and we really answered the bell.”

These aren’t the same Wildcats who appeared helpless in a 99-69 loss to Brigham Young on Dec. 28. Halfway through the Pac-10 season, Arizona (12-9, 6-3) has won four straight to pull into a firstplace tie with the Golden Bears (14-7, 6-3).

The Wildcats have 11 regular-season titles in 31 seasons, but none since 2005, their longest drought in a quarter century. California hasn’t won the conference since 1959-60, when it had five teams.

“We don’t want to dwell on the fact that we’re in first place,” Arizona guard Lamont Jones said.

“Like Nic said in the locker room, we don’t want to be tied for first.”

Hank Gathers continues to live in his house

By Bill Plaschke

The Associated Press

SUMMARIES

LOS ANGELES — wenty years later, grown men still grab Bo Kimble’s hand and cry.

“They won’t let go,” he says.

Twenty years later, Paul Westhead plays the videotape for his Oregon women’s basketball team and they howl.

“They can’t believe what they are seeing,” he says. “Sometimes I can’t either.”

Twenty years later, the mother of the late Hank Gathers can finally smile.

“My son’s memory has become such a strength to so many people,” Lucille Gathers Cheeseboro says.

In an era of sports cynicism and strife, the saddest, sweetest college basketball story still lives.

You can see it in the chills of those who witnessed it and the sad smiles of those who lived it, the sorrow and joy of the 1989-90 Loyola Marymount basketball team.

“It was just one moment in time,” Kimble says. “But that moment has been strong enough to last forever.”

Even now, looking back through the lens of a sports landscape filled with an upset a minute, the moment remains nothing short of a miracle.

Twenty years ago, a raggedy group of playground stars from a tiny Catholic college watched their best player collapse and die of a heart ailment during the first half of a game in the conference tournament on their home court.

Twelve days later, the team began a run through the NCAA tournament that fell only one game short of the Final Four.

On the way, they set records for scoring and symbolism, for threepointers and tears, a bunch of grieving but gripping kids providing a transfixed nation with lessons of the heart.

In short, it was about a left-handed free throw.

In choosing to honor the fallen Gathers, who had been trying to perfect a left-handed free throw at the time of his death, teammate and best friend Kimble decided to shoot the first free throw of every tournament game left-handed.

This is even though Kimble is right-handed, and even though the Lions were such big underdogs that every point would matter.

C O M M E N TA RY Do you remember now? In my 23 years at the Los Angeles Times, I have never seen a more compelling moment on a basketball court.

Four times Kimble threw up the left-handed shot. Four times fans would openly weep. Four times he made the shot.

It was the perfect symbol for a mournful, magical stretch of basketball that will never be repeated.

“Shot left-handed free throws three times in the NBA,” Kimble says. “Missed them all.”

The players from that 1989-90 team returned to Gersten Pavilion — site of Gathers’ greatest triumphs and his shocking death — on Saturday night to be honored by the school.

At halftime of the Lions’ eventual 85-67 loss to St. Mary’s, fans roared as everyone from Kimble to Gathers’ mother were given a replica piece of the old gym floor.

Above them, Gathers’ No. 44 still adorns the gym wall. Around them, the students here, some of whom were not even born during the run, still chant Gathers’ name.

The memories are chronicled in a just-released book by Kyle Keiderling titled “Heart of a Lion.” They can also be found, some say, in the late-night sounds of bouncing balls and spraying showers of a Gersten gym still haunted by his presence.

“We all had the same grief,” Westhead says. “We just put it together and played some ball.”

It started, of course, with Gathers, a 6-foot-7, 235-pound inside force who, as a junior in 1988-89, worked Westhead’s breakneck system to lead the nation in scoring (33.0 points per game) and rebounding (14.0).

“The best (college) player I ever coached was Hank Gathers,” Westhead says, smiling. “We know that.

We share that. And if we didn’t know it, Hank would have told us.”

In their senior year, Gathers and Kimble led the Lions to a 23-5 regular-season record that included 122.4 points per game and 28 games over 100 points, both still NCAA records.

Gathers had collapsed earlier in the season with what was diagnosed as an abnormal heartbeat, but finished the season strong, even scoring 48 points against Shaquille O’Neal and Louisiana State, leading the Lions into the postseason.

Then on Sunday, March 4, 1990, with 13 minutes 34 seconds left in the first half of the Lions’ second-round West Coast Conference tournament game against Portland, their world changed forever. Shortly after he scored on an ally-oop dunk, Gathers staggered and collapsed and died at age 23 of what was later diagnosed as a heart muscle disorder.

“It was something that changed all of us forever,” teammate Chris Knight says. “To witness the death of our leader effected all of us in ways that we probably still don’t even know.”

But who would have thought it would immediately effect them like it did?

The Portland game and tournament were canceled, the Lions were given the NCAA tournament bid on the basis of their regular-season championship, but they were seeded 11th with expectations that they would succumb to their grief.

“The players had just lost their leader, the center of everything on that team,” then-athletic director Brian Quinn says. “Nobody knew what was going to happen.”

A hint was given two days later when, during Gathers’ memorial service at Gersten, Kimble took the microphone and asked the crowd for “one last round of applause for Hank, here in his house.”

The roar lasted two weeks.

Twelve days after Gathers’ death, the Lions drove to Long Beach for a first-round game with favored New Mexico State. Gathers’ memory was everywhere, his No. 44 stenciled on their jerseys, fans holding signs reading “Hank lives” and Westhead writing “the dream is alive” on the locker room blackboard.

“This is for you, Hank,” Kimble said in a taped TV interview that ran before he shot his first free throw left-handed — and swished it.

New Mexico State never had a chance, falling, 111-92.

Next up, defending champion Michigan, a game for which Westhead prepared his team by giving them each the same individual pep talk.

“Bo, bombs away... Jeff (Fryer), bombs away... Terrell (Lowery), bombs away.”

So they did, setting 11 — that’s not a misprint — NCAA tournament records in a 149-115 victory over the Wolverines.

“It’s hard to put into words how much it changed all of us so quickly,”

Lowery says. “It was a tragedy that became, in some ways, a blessing.”

Next up, a trip to Oakland, where the Lions regional semifinal game against Alabama was CBS’ centerpiece national game.

The Crimson Tide tried to slow the Lions, frustrating them so much that at one point, Kimble lost his cool and was assessed a technical foul.

Knight quickly walked over to Kimble, grabbed his jersey, and pointed to the 44 stitching.

Message delivered. The Lions settled down enough to win the kind of deliberate game that folks thought they could never win — 62-60 — with an ending that confirmed there were other forces at work.

Guess who missed a long jumper for Alabama at the buzzer. Big Shot Robert Horry, that’s who.

Only one victory from the Final Four, the Lions faced Nevada Las Vegas, a talented team that would eventually win the national championship.

By then, Kimble was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, the Loyola Marymount bookstore was swamped with memorabilia orders and the regional final ticket was the hottest in the country. Even Las Vegas was caught up in the emotion, its players actually wearing black arm bands in memory of their opponent.

“It was this big in the era before everyone used the Internet, before sports was so big everywhere,” Lowery says. “Can you imagine how big it would be today?”

It was there magic ended. The players were eventually too overmatched and too drained to do anything about it.

The score was Las Vegas 131, Loyola Marymount 101, the Rebels running away with the dream.

But not really. The players on that Lions team keep it alive even today, with Kimble running a “44 For Life” foundation and Lowery working in foster care and others find themselves in service to the community.

“This is something that will stay with us for a lifetime,” Westhead says.

After their halftime ceremony Saturday, the former players put their hands together for another cheer, while in the stands, their team trailing by 15 points but hope never lost, the fans kept chanting, now and forever.

“This is Hank’s House! This is Hank’s House!”

Fortunes

Madi Sebulsky launches out of the starting gate as other Mini World Cup participants eagerly await their turn. The slalom race took place on Ed’s Garden at Mount Bachelor on Sunday.

About 120 young skiers are members of Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation’s Mini World Cup alpine ski racing program.

Cup Continued from D1 On Sunday afternoon, the line to the start gate at the Mini World Cup was packed with chatty, giddy young ski racers — their excited smiles lit by the bright sun. Everyone was amped to go and take a turn on the slalom course.

“I like ski racing and I like how they (MBSEF coaches) are not always forcing you to ski race all the time.

You can take free runs also,” said Madison Archuleta, 11, of Bend. “My goal is to go to the Olympics. I started the goal last year when I started winning first in my ski races.”

Many of the junior skiers at Sunday’s Mini World Cup are looking forward to a life of competitive ski racing, while others simply hope

Katrina Continued from D1 It wasn’t the roar of the hurricane he remembered so well, tearing the roof off the Dome.

It wasn’t the roar of his neighbors, the people he helped with an M16 rifle slung on his back — the barefoot children crying, elderly slumped in wheelchairs moaning, families sweating in the stadium’s dark, waiting for relief.

On this night, the 33-year-old soldier and Saints season-ticket holder opened his eyes to the roar of a lifetime: The Saints had kicked away the Katrina blues, patched a city’s scars, and put New Orleans in the Super Bowl — touching off the biggest party the Gulf Coast has seen since maybe the end of World War II. Saints 31, Vikings 28.

At the end of season 43, the football gods had finally smiled on his hapless Saints.

Healing a city Few of the 71,276 people at the NFC championship that Sunday night had the same kind of perspective or same raw emotions that PJ did, living from nadir to zenith in New Orleans.

On Aug. 29, 2005, the day Katrina hit, his Louisiana National Guard platoon of MPs was sleeping on the floor of the visitors locker room, almost directly under the season-ticket seats he’d bought a few months prior.

Williams and his men had the mission of manning the biggest, smelliest, weirdest lifeboat ever seen as they watched their hometown, and homes, drown. A few days later, he’d take a flatboat to his childhood home in Hollygrove, float over the fence in the front yard and dock on his porch.

Now, he was hollering: “The Saints are going to the Super Bowl!”

Later, he reflected on it all: “Every time I walk up to the Dome, we walk up through Gate A, I look down, I remember seeing people come up on boat, it brings chills.

“Little children, they didn’t have no shoes, so they tied MRE bags around their feet. We had some people looting and stuff.

One guy had 30 brand new tennis shoes. We took them off him and distributed them to people who needed shoes.”

Running on two hours of sleep a night, Williams pushed the sick and elderly in wheelchairs out of the Dome to the relative comfort of the nearby basketball arena; on patrols, he walked the Dome

to create a few lasting friendships and gain independence on the hill, according several coaches and participants.

“We have some kids who are just in it for recreation and we have some kids in it that are definitely wanting to make the U.S. Ski Team,” said Mike Evans, head coach of the MWC program.

Mini World Cup is a long-standing MBSEF program that is developmental and recreational. MWC participants — currently 120 in all, ages 7-14 — make of it what they want.

“Most of the program is designed around training and skiing and improving skills, and we have these races throughout the year,” said Chuck Kenlan, MBSEF executive director. “These kids start in December and go through spring break (late March). It’s a long season. …

Who knows, one of these kids might be the next Tommy Ford.”

Mini World Cup offers six races throughout the four-month ski season. All races are held at Mount Bachelor. Skiers have the option of joining the ski activities for one, two or three days a week.

“We’re dedicated,” said Sophie Burgess, 11, of Bend, who takes part in MWC on both weekends and Wednesdays. “It’s pretty much a passion.”

At season’s end, the top seven Mini World Cup skiers overall go on to race in higher levels of competition throughout the state.

“You take all of these kids from all over the board and you put them in a place where they have to develop a little of their own responsibility,” said Fritz Johnston, who coaches a MWC J5 team (ages 8 and 9). “They

learn how to ski and learn how to be on the mountain, and by the time they are 10 they can go all over the mountain.”

Most likely, many of the young skiers move on from downhill racing after age 12 and may pick it back up again in high school, according to Evans. And a few — like Tommy Ford — use MWC as a platform to catapult into the competitive world of downhill racing.

“Kids ski really well on their own.

You don’t have to say too much,” says Mark Ford. “You just have to give them a good environment to do it in. The program here at Mount Bachelor really provides a good environment.”

Continued from D1 After the Storm’s winless year in football, Summit basketball coach and athletic director Dan Munson figured his football guys needed a break.

So Munson insisted that Huckins, Meagher and Absalon rest for a full week before turning out for basketball practice.

“They definitely needed some time off,” says Munson, who recalls enduring a winless football season himself in his senior year in high school.

“Those guys were banged up not just physically, but emotionally. They needed some time to be normal high school kids.”

Following a week of video games and an occasional driveway shoot-around, Huckins, Meagher and Absalon finally hit the hardwood, recharged and ready to go.

“They were excited for the season,” Munson says about his senior trio of football-basketball players. “(The basketball team) had a good summer where they won some big games. They were excited to win.”

Summit’s success this season did not come right away. The Storm, who currently are 9-9 overall, won three of their first four games but then lost six of their last seven before the start of league.

“But we weren’t playing any patsies,” says Munson, whose squad takes a three-game winning streak into Tuesday night’s game at The DallesWahtonka (also 5-2 in league). Just about every team we played (in nonconference) was ranked.”

The tough nonleague schedule paid off, though, as the Storm are in position to make the boys basketball postseason for just the second time in school history. And the guys who took a beating during the football season have been major contributors to this year’s basketball team.

Going into Summit’s 72-54 victory at Crook County on Friday night, Meagher was leading the Storm in scoring with 10.5 points per game and in rebounding with 6.2 boards per game.

Huckins was fourth on the team in scoring, averaging 8.8 points. And Absalon, who has handled point-guard duties for Summit this season, was averaging a team-best 3.8 assists per game.

The Storm’s former football players are hardly the whole basketball team — wings Mitch Wettig and Brandon Norby are averaging 10.4 and 10.1 points per game, respectively. But Huckins, Meagher and Absalon have shown composure beyond their years by not letting their lost football season wreck their entire senior year.

“It’s actually helped a lot,” Meagher says about his football experience last fall. “We know that feeling of losing … people coming up to you in the hall and joking about it. It’s not funny at all.

“We don’t want to go through that again.”

40 times a day (“a good hump”) amid the sea of people.

“To see people in such need, people of all walks of life coming, this was their life raft, this was their foothold on life and now, strangely, it’s the same thing, but just in reverse. This is New Orleans’ foothold, right there, this is a way of healing a city by winning,” Williams said.

“Any other city would have folded. This is the mentality of this city. We have lemons, we’re going to make lemonade.”

Homeless Saints Obviously, New Orleans and the Saints didn’t fold in the wake of Katrina.

But at one time it sure felt like they could.

When you ask Bob Remy, the unofficial Saints historian and official statistician, about that 2005 season interrupted by Katrina, he strangely draws a blank.

A man who’s filed away just about every Saints newspaper article, team guide, stat and ticket or press pass since the first game at Tulane Stadium in 1967 has a hard time recalling what happened when the Saints went homeless.

“It’s all a blur,” Remy said, poring over the meticulous, day-byday calendar he keeps of Saints seasons, and his own affairs.

He laughed. “Look, I ordered a washer, dryer and refrigerator on the day of the Giants game.”

That was the team’s first “home” game after Katrina on Sept. 19.

With the Dome torn up and waterlogged, it was transferred to the Meadowlands.

It was also the day Remy missed his first home game — ever. His sports memorabilia-packed suburban home was flooded with about a foot of water and he had to rebuild.

That 2005 regular season started with him in a hotel in Jackson, Miss., on Sept. 11. He walked down to the hotel lobby.

The game, Saints at Panthers, wasn’t even on the TV. He headed to another hotel.

“There I was, sitting in the lobby by myself, watching the game. Never forget that,” Remy said, a tear struggling at the edge of his eye.

At 72, Remy can say he has seen just about everything there’s been to see in Saints history. With his horn-rimmed glasses, he was there in the first line of men in trench coats, ties and flattop haircuts that stretched down the block, on March 6, 1967, to buy the first Saints season tickets. He was third in line.

Much of the nearly 43 years

Louisiana National Guard captain Percy “P.J.” Williams stands on the floor of the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. Williams, who grew up in New Orleans, was stationed in the Louisiana Superdome during and after Hurricane Katrina. He and his wife held onto their season tickets after the storm. since hasn’t been pretty.

It took the Saints two decades just to get their first winning season, and it wasn’t until 2000 when they won their first playoff game. The Saints were so bad fans wore paper bags over their heads in 1980 and called them the “Aints.”

Fans grumbled, and, it being New Orleans, people talked about a “curse.” Maybe, they said, it was because the Dome was built close to, some say atop, the former Girod Street cemetery.

Against that dismal background, the 2005 season was the team’s lowest point, Remy said.

The team was relocated to San Antonio. It lived out of hotels and did weight training at Gold’s Gyms. They went 3-13 and for a while practiced at a high school.

San Antonio’s mayor said he’d set up talks with team owner Tom Benson about moving the club to Texas. The future of the Dome was in doubt.

It got so bad, Benson swatted at a television camera at the Saints’ first game back in Louisiana on Oct. 30 at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Then, he issued a statement saying he wasn’t going to games in Baton Rouge because he feared for his life. Rock bottom.

By the start of the 2006 season, though, the stars had begun to align.

The Dome was fixed up. Coach

Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees had been brought in.

Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was obtained by a stroke of good fortune in the draft and the Saints sold out their season tickets.

That year, they got to the NFC championship, and lost.

Going to the Super Bowl Standing in his back yard under a blue sky, Remy explained the euphoria.

“When we were going through the poor years, it’s a beautiful day like this, and it’s in the third quarter, and they’re losing 35-3, half the people are gone, the other people are drunk in the stands, and I got two small children at home, my wife’s at the park with them. You get my picture? And you say, ‘Why am I here?’ We had so many of those Sundays.

“You say to yourself, ‘Let’s make our way through this.’ And of course, it all does (pay off) on Sunday night.”

Ever the keeper of Saints history, Remy, tipsy on beer like everyone else, and his stats crew went down to the field after the game. He kneeled at the 30-yard line, pointed down at the hash mark where Hartley planted his foot. Snap. He’ll frame that photo.

New Orleans is changed.

Stunned. In the throes of love and hope.

At the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Kenny “Kool Breez” Battiste, a deejay by profession, shakes his head. “It’s like they said: We’d never have a black president, we’d never make it to the Super Bowl. Now, we got a black president and we’re going to the Super Bowl!”

At the Impressive Hair Design, a neighborhood barber shop, old friends met up for the first time since the game and hollered Tuesday morning.

“Who Dat nation!” ... “Black and gold to the Super Bowl!”

“The violence is going to stop!”

Fabian Pace shouted. “No love.

But the love is coming back. We need this win. We need this sense of hope. Just when we thought there was no daylight. It’s not a black and white city. It’s a black

and gold city!”

Farther along on the street, Beverly Netter, a retired hospital worker, said she’d frame her Times-Picayune newspaper from the day after “the kick.”

“We kick butts!” the elderly woman said, grinning.

“Who Dat! Who Dat!” Catherine Tate, her friend, said. The Saints, Tate hoped, would inspire the young, the “lost generation,” in her words. She was thinking about her 17-year-old grandson shot down and killed: “He loved sports.”

In the French Quarter, Ray and Karen Baker waved from their balcony, where a banner reads: “Announcing: Hell freezing over,” a reference to the late Saints sportscaster Bernard “Buddy D.” Diliberto, a legend in these parts. He said the Saints would make it to the Super Bowl when hell froze over. He was the first to wear a bag over his head.

Karen, 66 and ardently religious, said: “I believe he (Drew Brees) has been empowered by God to lead us out of the wilderness. I really do.”

Out at Musicians’ Village in the 9th Ward, where rows of homes were built after Katrina for displaced musicians, one with the help of Brees and students from his old fraternity house at Purdue University, trumpeter Shamarr Allen played his instrument, adorned with a fleur-de-lis and Brees’ signature.

“Forty-plus years, it’s time. It was written for it to happen,” Allen said.

“If you take a look back and remember that the Saints had to play in Mississippi (a preseason game in 2006) and practice in a school yard,” he said, searching for the moral of the story, “it’s one of those things that make you realize, man, look how far they came in a short period of time. My situation is bad, but it can always get better.”

Schumacher returns as F1 testing begins

2 4 H O U R S O F D AY T O N A Joao Barbosa, of Portugal, drives the Action Express Racing Porsche Riley as it approaches the checkered flag, winning the Rolex 24 hour auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., Sunday. Barbosa, Ryan Dalziel, Terry Borcheller and Mike Rockenfeller were the car’s drivers.

Test run turns into victory Mistake by Ganassi opens the door for Action Express team

By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The new Action Express Racing team showed up at Daytona International Speedway this week simply looking to take its new engine for a test run.

What a run it was.

Joao Barbosa powered the team to the 24 Hours of Daytona title Sunday, finishing an improbable victory in the organization’s first appearance in the sports car endurance race.

“I think we would agree,” teammate Ryan Dalziel said, “we didn’t come into this thing thinking we had a realistic shot.”

Neither did anybody else.

The team avoided major mechanical problems and benefited from a late blunder by star-studded Chip

Ganassi Racing to win by about 50 seconds. No one else was within four laps of the lead.

Ganassi’s Justin Wilson was leading before he made an ill-advised stop into the garage late, believing something was wrong with the No. 01 BMW Riley. The crew didn’t find anything, and the difference was too much for teammate Scott Pruett to make up in the final two hours.

“It all happened so quick,” Wilson said. “You don’t have time to think.

You just have to react.”

The group that has dominated the race recently could only watch as it lost to a team with few sponsors that, weeks ago, didn’t exist.

“What can I say? I’m out of words,” Barbosa said. “The teammates, the crew, they did a great job. Action Express rocks and it’s going to keep going through the year.”

The group was formed in the offseason after Brumos Racing cut back to a one-car team. That prompted longtime Brumos affiliate Bob Johnson to assemble Action Express Rac-

ing, bringing some crew and drivers over.

“This is amazing,” Johnson said minutes before the finish. “I can’t even begin to describe it.”

The move paid off quicker than anyone expected.

Barbosa, Dalziel, Terry Borcheller and Mike Rockenfeller deftly guided the No. 9 Porsche Riley through a rain-soaked start Saturday that caused cautions and spin outs for much of the field. They avoided accidents and poor pit stops that pushed so many others behind, and they didn’t succumb to the pressure in the final hours.

“I think as a new team to come here, I think it’s a huge accomplishment to our crew,” Dalziel said. “A lot of these guys only came together at the start of January.”

Ganassi had three straight wins in the prestigious endurance race until finishing second the last two years.

The biggest blow it took in this one was self-inflicted.

Wilson pulled the car into the ga-

rage with about three hours remaining after he said he heard a popping noise. Crew members scurried to find a problem, losing the lead and falling behind by a lap.

“I heard a loud clank and the car kind of whacked,” Wilson said. “I thought I’d blown a front tire or something like that, and being so close to the garage, I figured I’d pull it in.”

That was the second disappointment of the race for the favored Ganassi team.

Ganassi’s No. 02 car retired in the early morning hours because of engine failure. Drivers Juan Pablo Montoya, Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Jamie McMurray had led a combined 139 of the opening 247 laps.

Then suddenly, stunningly, they were out.

“I did well at times and I struggled at times,” said McMurray, who lost some ground before Montoya took the wheel back and the engine failed.

“I didn’t want to be the guy who runs the car off and messes it up for everybody else.”

VALENCIA, Spain — The new Formula One campaign gets under way today with the start of preseason testing that will also bring the return of Michael Schumacher at Mercedes GP after three years out of motor racing’s premier sport.

The three-day session at Valencia’s Cheste Circuit will be the first of four in February before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 14.

It will offer the first glimpse of F1’s offseason shake-up, with defending champion Jenson Button’s move to McLaren to join 2008 winner Lewis Hamilton being one of many driver changes. Also notably, two-time champ Fernando Alonso shifted to Ferrari.

Polish driver Robert Kubica has joined Renault, while Rubens Barrichello left Mercedes to sign for Williams and partner GP2 champion Niko Hulkenberg — but it’s Schumacher’s return that is the most anticipated.

The 41-year-old Schumacher, who hasn’t raced since retiring from Ferrari in 2006, has taken Button’s place at Mercedes. The team also signed fellow German Nico Rosberg from Williams as it embarks on its first campaign in more than 50 years since buying out constructors’ champion Brawn GP. Schumacher and Rosberg will both drive on the opening day of testing as it begins its chase for the championship.

“That is what we aim for but we have to deliver and that is our job,” Schumacher said in December when his comeback was confirmed. “Honestly, I can’t wait until the 1st of February when we will officially run the car.”

Schumacher won five of his record seven F1 titles at Ferrari — all in a row, from 2000-04 — but former rival Alonso will now be the main man at the Italian team following a disappointing 2009 season for both Ferrari and the Spaniard at Renault.

Today’s testing will provide a first clue over whether the iconic red car will rebound. It will also provide Felipe Massa with his first official drive since a life-threatening crash in July before the Hungarian GP forced him to sit out the rest of last season.

Of the front-runners, only Red Bull is missing from the first testing session, with Renault and Williams unveiling their new cars on Sunday and Toro Rosso doing so today.

Button won’t get his first spin in a McLaren until Wednesday, a day after Hamilton takes control.

“Testing is going to be very, very important for the start of the year,” Button said.

Some of the changes to the cars from last year include heavier fuel tanks, with refueling banned this season.

The KERS system — introduced to boost overtaking — is gone, while engineers will be able to employ the double diffuser despite it being questioned in court before the start of last season.

LEGAL NOTICE 30-Day Comment Period Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway Welcome Station Draft Environmental Assessment Deschutes National Forest, Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District The Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District has completed a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA). This publication begins the 30-day comment period. The Draft EA can be obtained in the following formats: A brief summary of or a hardcopy of the complete the Draft EA. The Draft EA can also be viewed on the Forest website at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/cen traloregon/projects/units/be ndrock/index.shtml.

This comment period is intended to offer parties interested in or affected by this activity an opportunity to make their concerns known. All comments received will become a matter of public record.

The proposed project location for the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway Welcome Station is approximately five miles southwest of Bend, Oregon, adjacent to the Scenic Byway (Highway 46, Century Drive), directly across the highway from the junction with Forest Road 41.

The legal location is in Township 18 South, Range 11 East, Section 21.

Two alternatives were fully analyzed: • Alternative 1 (No Action): This alternative serves as a baseline for comparison of the effects of the action alternatives. There would be no change in the level of ongoing management activities within the project area.

• Alternative 2 (Proposed Action) proposes to construct a one-story building, approximately 1,500 square feet; construct an access road and parking area for approximately 27-30 vehicles; a gate would be placed at the access road entrance to the facility; construct an interpretive kiosk; approximately 150-200 trees on the 2 acre site would be removed; a split rail fence would delineate the Welcome Station from the surrounding Forest lands; and The proposed building site would be located at an intersection and accessed by turn lanes coming from both directions; therefore, a speed reduction/turn lane would likely be constructed for safety concerns by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

Comments on the project must be postmarked no later than 30-days following publication in the Federal Register. Address comments to the Responsible Official, District Ranger Shane Jeffries, Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District, 1230 NE 3rd Street, A-262, Bend, Oregon, 97701 (Phone: 541 383-4000; FAX: 541 383-4700). Those submitting hand-delivered comments may do so during regular office hours, 7:45AM to 4:30PM, Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.

Comments may also be submitted electronically to comments-pacificnorthwestdeschutes-bend-ftrock@fs.fe d.us: Those submitting electronic copies must do so only to the e-mail address listed above, must put the project name in the subject line, and must either submit comments as part of the e-mail message or as an attachment only in one of the following three formats: Microsoft Word, rich text format (rtf), or Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf).

It is the responsibility of persons providing comments to

submit them by the close of the comment period. Only those who submit timely and substantive comments will have eligibility to appeal the subsequent decision under 36 CFR 215.

Anyone wishing to review the project file or obtain additional information on the project should contact Robin Gyorgyfalvy at (541) 383-4786 or David Frantz at (541) 383-4721.
