La Pine is hoping this town hall will be more congenial

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Six months after facing an audience of frustrated south county residents at its first-ever town hall meeting, the La Pine City Council is coming back for more.

Leaders say they’re expecting a more supportive, more constructive dialogue this time around, with the City Council showing signs of having learned from past missteps, and civic engagement on the rise in the state’s newest city.

On Saturday, the council is inviting La Pine-area residents to a second town hall meeting at the Finley Butte Park Building. Billed as an opportunity for locals to ask questions and raise concerns, the meeting is also scheduled to feature presentations from candidates running for office in the upcoming May election.

At the last town hall, in October 2009, residents railed against the city for supposedly dragging its feet on a variety of issues. Residents said the city had been slow to solve traffic problems, recruit new businesses and hire a city manager to replace Christine Nelson, who resigned from the job in December 2008 after serving for just over a year.

Mayor Kitty Shields said that while councilors took a beating at that first town hall, it was ultimately “a goodwill builder,” and a turning point in the city’s relationship with the public.

“I thought it was a beneficial meeting. People had the opportunity to speak their mind, get their questions out there and get immediate feedback,” Shields said. “That doesn’t always happen at our regular City Council meetings.”

ASPEN LAKES

Fellow commissioner didn’t sway them, planners declare

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deschutes County planning commissioners did something unusual at Thursday night’s meeting: Each one declared he had not been influenced by another commissioner’s personal interests.

The odd roll call was

prompted by recent questions about whether Commissioner Keith Cyrus used his position on the commission to advocate for his family’s plan to convert its Aspen Lakes subdivision and golf course east of Sisters into a destination resort.

“I’d be happy to say it has not happened to me,” commis-

sion Chair Christen Brown said.

“Nor I,” each of the five other commissioners echoed.

Some former and current commissioners recently said that, while Cyrus is careful to recuse himself from votes on destination resort issues, he talked to them about his in-

ability to get the designation for his own property outside of formal meetings, and one of the commission’s land use proposals appeared targeted to help Cyrus. And last year, Cyrus raised the issue during a Planning Commission retreat.

5 admitted long shots for Senate are running to be heard

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Combined, the five outsider candidates running for the Republican nod in the race against U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden don’t have a day of political experience. They don’t have connections to the party’s leadership or business groups.

And they all acknowledge that they’re long shots to survive the primary.

They’re running, though, spending hours driving to candidate forums, filling out questionnaires and answering e-mail, because they’re fed up with the political system. They’re running because they’re frustrated with the federal government.

They want to be heard.

“My main goal,” said candidate Walter Woodland, 38, of Newberg, “is to try and drive the conversation, and get the right questions asked.”

Lewis and Clark law professor Jim Huffman is the front-runner for the nomination by virtue of strong support from the state Republican Party, and his long association with prominent property rights and anti-regulation groups.

The other five candidates are Woodland, Shane Dinkel, of Redmond; Robin Parker, of Sunriver; Tom Stutzman, of Monmouth; and Keith Waldron, of Bay City. Loren Later also filed to run as a Republican, but told The Bulletin this week that he is no longer seeking the nomination because of work obligations.

Miners’ lives: security, but never peace of mind

By Shaila Dewan

Inside

New York Times News Service

HORSE CREEK, W.Va. — As Janice Quarles waited for the phone to ring with news that her husband’s body had been pulled from the Upper Big Branch mine, she vowed — much as so many West Virginia mothers have before her — that her son, Trevor, 11, would never follow his father into the mines.

“There just ain’t no way,” she said.

But minutes later, concern for his safety was overwhelmed by another worry.

“If that’s the only kind of work there is around here, what choice does he have?” said Quarles, three days after losing her husband, Gary Wayne Quarles, in the worst American mining disaster in 25 years. “He’s got to make a living just like everybody else.”

Before stubbornly high levels of methane gas drove them back Thursday, rescu-

ers had come within 500 feet of where one group of miners’ bodies lie, with the authorities hoping that they would be able to restart the search Thursday night.

As devastating as it has been to this mountain community, the explosion that killed at least 25 miners on Monday has done little to alter the steel-toed blend of pride, resignation and economics that defines a coal miner’s life. Even as the rescue and recovery effort continued, workers at nearby mines day and night boarded the elevators that carry them miles into the earth.

CRADLE OF HUMANKIND, South Africa — Nine-year-old Matthew Berger dashed after his dog, Tau, into the high grass here, tripped over a log and stumbled onto a major discovery. Scientists announced Thursday that he had found the bones of a new hominid species that lived almost 2 million years ago during the still mysterious period spanning the emergence of the human family.

“Dad, I found a fossil!” Matthew cried out to his father, Lee Berger, a paleoanthropologist who had been searching for hominid bones just a hill and a half away for almost two decades.

Archaeologists have embarked on excavations in northern Syria expected to widen and deepen understanding of a prehistoric culture in Mesopotamia that set the stage for the rise of the world’s first cities and states, and the invention of writing.

In two seasons of preliminary surveying and digging at the site known as Tell Zeidan, American and Syrian investigators have uncovered a tantalizing sampling of artifacts from what had been a robust pre-urban settlement on the upper Euphrates River. People occupied the site for two millenniums, until 4000 B.C. — a littleknown but fateful period of human cultural evolution.

Scholars of antiquity say that Zeidan should reveal insights into life in a time called the Ubaid period, 5500 to 4000 B.C. In those poorly studied centuries, irrigation agriculture became widespread, long-distance trade grew in influence socially and economically, powerful political leaders came to the fore, and communities gradually divided into social classes of wealthy elites and poorer commoners.

Gil Stein, director of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, a leader of the excavations at Zeidan, said the site’s northern location promised to enrich knowledge of the Ubaid culture’s influence far from where the first urban centers eventually flourished in the lower Tigris and Euphrates Valley. The new explorations, he said, are planned to be the most comprehensive yet at a large Ubaid settlement, possibly yielding discoveries for decades.

“I figure I’m going to be working there till I retire,” said Stein, who is 54.

A rare window There are several reasons for excitement over the Zeidan excavations. Warfare and ensuing unstable conditions have locked archaeologists out of Iraq and its prime sites of Mesopotamian antiquity. So they have redoubled research in the upper river valleys, across the border in Syria and southern Turkey. And Zeidan is readily accessible. Having never been built upon by subsequent cultures, it is free of any overburden of ruins to thwart excavators.

Above all, a driving ambition of archaeologists always is to dig beneath the known past for more than glimpses of the little known.

For almost two centuries, the glory went to expeditions unearthing the houses and temples, granaries and workshops of earliest urban centers like Uruk, seat of the legendary Gilgamesh, and the later splendors of Ur and Nineveh. The challenge was to decipher the clay tablets of a literate civilization with beginnings in what is known as the Uruk period, 4000 to 3200 B.C. Uruk remains overshadowed by the traces of Ubaid cultures, the region’s earliest known complex society. Only a handful of ruins — at Ubaid, Eridu and Oueili in southern Mesopotamia and Tepe Gawra, in the north near Mosul, Iraq — had produced at best a sketchy picture of these older cultures. A few Ubaid sites in northern Syria were either too small to be revealing or virtually inaccessible under other ruins.

A decade ago, Richard Zettler, a University of Pennsylvania archaeologist with extensive experience in Syria, said, “Our real focus now should not be on the Uruk period, but the Ubaid.”

Last week, Zettler, who is not associated with the Chicago team but has visited the site, said that Zeidan preserves artifacts over a long sequence of Ubaid culture at a junction of major trade routes. “We should see the transition as the Ubaid spread from the south up to farming regions in the north,” he said.

Guillermo Algaze, an anthropologist at the University of California, San Diego, and an authority on early urbanism in the Middle East but not involved in new research, said recently that Zeidan “has the potential to revo-

Tell Zeidan is a two-hour drive southeast of Aleppo and three miles from the modern town of Raqqa. Muhammad Sarhan, a curator of the Raqqa Museum, is codirector, with Stein, of the excavations, formally known as the Joint Syrian-American Archaeological Research Project at Tell Zeidan.

The site consists of three large mounds on the east bank of the Balikh River, just north of its confluence with the Euphrates. The mounds, the tallest being 50 feet

high, enclose ruins of a lower town.

Buried remains and a scattering of ceramics on the surface extend over an area of 31 acres, which makes this probably larger than any other known Ubaid community.

Telling finds It would seem that the mounds had long stood on the semi-arid landscape as an open invitation for archaeologists to stop and dig.

A few stopped. The American archaeologist William Albright identified the place in 1926. The British archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan,

husband of the mystery writer Agatha Christie, was intrigued and made a brief survey in the 1930s.

A Dutch team led by Maurits van Loon took an interest in 1983, finding that the site appeared to date to the Ubaid period. A German group asked the Syrians for permission to excavate but was turned down.

Finally, after initial visits to Zeidan, Stein said the Syrian government “encouraged me to submit an application” to dig. Why the change?

“I was incredibly thrilled, but can only speculate on what their reasons were,” Stein said in a re-

cent interview, referring to the Syrian decision. “Perhaps they were waiting for the right team to come along. Our institute had worked in Syria for something like 80 years, and we were interested in a long-term commitment. We also pointed out that the site was endangered from agricultural development along its edges. Parts of the site had already been bulldozed for fields and a canal.”

In the summers of 2008 and 2009, Stein directed mapping of the Zeidan ruins and digging exploratory trenches. He said the initial findings confirmed this to be a “proto-urban community” in the Ubaid period, most likely the site of a prominent temple.

A description and interpretation of the discoveries so far was published in the Oriental Institute’s recent annual report, followed by an announcement this week by the University of Chicago. The international excavation team, supported by the National Science Foundation in the United States, is to resume fieldwork in July.

Four distinct phases of occupation have been identified at Zeidan.

A simpler culture known as the Halaf is found in the bottom sediments, well-preserved Ubaid material in the middle and two layers of late Copper Age remains on top.

From the evidence so far, the transitions between periods seemed to have been peaceful.

Archaeologists have turned up remains of house floors with hearths, fragments of mud-brick house walls, painted Ubaid pottery and sections of larger walls, possibly part of fortifications or monumental public architecture. The ceramic styles and radiocarbon tests date the wall to about 5000 B.C. One of the most telling finds was a stone seal depicting a deer, presumably used to stamp a mark on goods to identify ownership in a time before writing. About 2 by 2.5 inches, the seal is unusually large and carved from a red stone not native to the area. In fact, archaeologists said, it was similar in design to a seal found 185 miles to the east, at Tepe Gawra, near Mosul.

To archaeologists, a seal is not just a seal. Zettler said it signifies that “somebody has the authority to restrict access to things — to close and seal jars, bags, doors — and so once you have these seals you must have had social stratification.”

The existence of elaborate seals with near-identical motifs at such widely distant sites, Stein said, “suggests that in this period, highranking elites were assuming leadership positions across a very broad region, and those dispersed elites shared a common set of symbols and perhaps even a common ideology of superior social status.”

Obama signs pact to cut nuclear arms

By Karen DeYoung and Spencer S. Hsu

By Jennifer Loven and George Jahn

The Washington Post

The Associated Press

Mohammed al-Madadi boarded a flight from Washington to Denver on Wednesday afternoon, a junior diplomat from Qatar on a routine assignment to visit a Qatari citizen in a U.S. prison. United Airlines Flight 663 passed uneventfully until Madadi stepped out of the bathroom.

A flight at tenda nt smelled smoke and confronted Madadi, 27, who joked that he “was trying to light Mohammed my shoes al-Madadi on fire” to mask the smell of the bathroom before proceeding to his seat, law enforcement officials said. When he refused to hand over his lighter, the attendant notified the air marshals on the plane.

The marshals talked to Madadi briefly, confined him to his seat and activated a national alert system through the pilot. Fighter jets were scrambled, and President Barack Obama was warned about a possible terrorist threat.

After questioning Madadi on the ground and finding no explosives, authorities said there had been no offense beyond illegal smoking, a charge from which he is immune because of his diplomatic status. Officials said he had been smoking a small pipe in the plane’s bathroom.

As Madadi was returning to Washington on Thursday, accompanied by embassy staff members, the State Department made it clear to the Qatari government that it would declare him persona non grata and expel him if Qatar did not remove him. U.S. officials said Qatar, one of the closest U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf region, will send him home.

Madadi, the son of a Qatari diplomat, attended high school in Virginia and graduated from Marymount University. He received a master’s degree in information systems from George Washington University in 2008, after which he returned to Qatar and joined its foreign service.

PRAGUE — Casting aside years of rancor, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday signed the biggest nuclear arms pact in a generation, lacing the moment with new warnings of sanctions for an intransigent Iran.

The treaty, sealed after months of halting negotiation, is significant not just for what it does but for what it symbolizes: a fresh start for the United States and Russia, and evidence to a watching world that nuclear disarmament is more than a goal.

The pact commits their nations to slash the number of strategic nuclear warheads by one-third, and more than halve the number of missiles, submarines and bombers carrying them.

That still leaves the two countries with enough nuclear firepower to ensure mutual destruction several times over, but the move sets a foundation for deeper reductions, which both sides are already pursuing.

“It sends a signal around the world that the United States and Russia are prepared to once again take leadership,” Obama said moments after he and Medvedev signed the treaty in a gleaming, ornate hall in the Czech Republic’s presidential castle.

Said the Russian president: “The entire world community has won.”

The pact will shrink the limit of nuclear warheads to 1,550 per country over seven years, about a third less than the 2,200 currently permitted.

Looming over the celebration was Iran, which in the face of international pressures continues to assert that its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes, not for weapons as suspected. Six powers — the U.S., Russia, Britain, France, Germany and now China — are in talks in New York about a fourth set of United Nations sanctions to pressure Iran into compliance.

“We cannot turn a blind eye to this,” Medvedev said in a show of solidarity. But he said he was frank with Obama about how far Russia was willing to go, favoring only what he called “smart” sanctions that might have hope of changing behavior.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s National Assembly on Thursday passed sweeping constitutional reforms that sharply curtail the president’s power and have the potential to stabilize the nation’s political system.

The changes wipe away a host of measures introduced by military dictators in recent decades that had eroded the power of parliament and centralized authority in the hands of the president.

Under the reforms, Pakistan’s prime minister and its provincial governments are expected to have greater latitude in running the country, which has become a central battleground for the U.S. in the fight against religious extremist groups.

President Asif Ali Zardari will now have an official role that is largely ceremonial, although he is expected to continue to wield significant influence as leader of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party, or PPP.

Allawi warns of election violence BAGHDAD — Former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, whose Iraqiya alliance edged out Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s party in national elections last month, warned on Thursday of potential chaos and violence if he is denied the right to form the country’s next government.

Allawi said al-Maliki and his supporters’ refusal to accept final election results in which Allawi’s party won 91 seats in parliament versus 89 Iyad Allawi for al-Maliki’s State of Law alliance could provoke bloodshed among the Iraqi people.

Al-Maliki has alleged election fraud and demanded a recount in parts of Baghdad and northern Iraq, despite declarations from the United States and United Nations that the elections were fair.

His alliance has also supported legal efforts to strip Allawi’s slate of some of their seats in the 325seat parliament.

New probe into botched raid ordered

By Julian E. Barnes McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The U.S.led military command in Afghanistan said Thursday it is opening a new investigation into a botched raid in February by U.S. special operations forces, and a senior commander apologized for the deaths of five civilians, including two pregnant women.

But defense officials disputed an Afghan investigator’s claims that American forces covered up evidence of the attack.

Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top military commander in Afghanistan, ordered the new investigation after sharp differences emerged between the initial U.S. inquiry, which remains classified, and an investigation by Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior.

The Feb. 12 raid, in the Gardez district, was conducted by

President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sign the New START treaty Thursday in the Czech Republic’s presidential castle in Prague.

“It sends a signal around the world that the United States and Russia are prepared to once again take leadership.”

— President Obama, upon signing of New START treaty

rated by saying, for example, that Russia would not endorse a total embargo on the delivery of refined petroleum products into Iran. Such products might be targeted in other ways, or sanctions on Iran’s energy sector might be avoided altogether to avoid running into deal-breaking opposition from Russia or China.

The nuclear arms pact now faces a ratification vote in the

Russian legislature and the U.S. Senate. At home, Obama’s team is struggling to get the necessary votes, and the president himself is directly involved. He said he was confident that Democrats and Republicans would see that the treaty protects U.S. interests — an upbeat view of bipartisanship in a town where it’s been scarce.

“I feel confident that we are going to be able to get it ratified,” Obama said.

Negotiations between the U.S. and Russia got bogged down in disputes, including Russia’s objection to U.S. missile defense plans for Europe. The Kremlin is still concerned about the plan but sought to tamp down talk it would withdraw from the new treaty if there is a buildup in the missile defense system. Russia codified its option to withdraw in a statement in connection with the treaty.

Iran: Hikers linked to U.S. intelligence TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s intelligence minister accused three

Americans jailed since crossing the border from Iraq in July of having links to U.S. intelligence services, state TV reported Thursday.

The comments toughened Iran’s accusations against the group, suggesting authorities could be close to bringing them to trial after months of mixed signals and fears in the U.S. that they could be used as bargaining chips in Iran’s confrontation with the West.

Their families say the three were on a hike in the scenic Kurdish region of northern Iraq and unintentionally strayed across the border.

U.S. and Afghan commandos, and resulted in the deaths of the two pregnant women, a third woman and two men.

Navy Vice Adm. William McRaven, commander of the highly secretive Joint Special Operations Command, met Thursday with family members of the civilians killed in the raid and apologized for the deaths.

An Afghan investigator was quoted by The Times of London this week as saying that after the raid, U.S. troops were seen digging bullets from the bodies of the dead to make it look like militants, not American forces, killed the three women.

An initial news release about the Feb. 12 Afghan raid said several militants were killed during the operation and that afterward, the three women’s bodies were found “tied up, gagged and killed.”

Reports of abuse flood German church call center

By Nicholas Kulish New York Times News Service

BERLIN — The Roman Catholic Church’s phone line for victims of sexual abuse in Germany was overwhelmed with calls last week, the telephone counseling service’s first in operation.

Callers made 13,293 attempts to get through to church psychologists and social workers in three days, according to Andreas Zimmer, director of the counseling center at the Diocese of Trier, which is handling the nationwide free line. He said that employees handled 394 telephone consultations and a further 91 online consultations routed through the center in Trier, which lies along the German border with Luxembourg.

Zimmer said that roughly three-quarters of the calls were from victims or the family members of victims. The

majority of those called about sexual abuse, with a smaller number, roughly a third, wanting to discuss cases of physical abuse.

1002 N.W. Wall St., Bend

Cyrus Continued from A1 Since an article about the issue appeared in The Bulletin on April 4, supporters and critics have e-mailed and called Cyrus and his family, as well as other county officials. On Wednesday, Cyrus’ son, Matt, and daughter, Pam Mitchell, e-mailed friends urging them to attend Thursday’s commission meeting to speak in support of their father.

Keith Cyrus’ term on the commission is up in June, and at least one Deschutes County commissioner, Tammy Baney, is publicly questioning whether the County Commission should extend his term.

Community support The politicking managed to turn out a handful of people who came to show their support for the longtime Sisters farmer and developer who has been on the Planning Commission since 2002.

Tony Aceti, a Deschutes County resident who knows Keith Cyrus, spoke at the meeting in support of Cyrus.

“I’ve seen Mr. Cyrus, if there was any touchy situation, recuse himself,” Aceti said.

Carla Powell, a resident and the owner of a small business in Sisters, also said she supports Cyrus.

“I want to let the commissioners know that there are a lot more people out there like me that support development, support reasonable growth in the county to bring up our tax revenues, and to help this county grow further,” Powell said. “I want to lend support to those commissioners that feel this way.”

Although county staff had recommended removing subdivisions from the map, the Planning Commission in February recommended that subdivisions be allowed to remain on the county’s destination resort zone map, which identifies properties eligible for resorts. The Planning Commission recommendation

La Pine Continued from A1 Shields said La Pine has made considerable progress in addressing many of the concerns raised at the last town hall meeting. The council is working with the League of Oregon Cities to recruit an interim city manager, she said, and has appointed volunteers to serve on the planning commission and the budget, tourism and utilities advisory committees. Consultants hired by the council have completed the city’s first comprehensive plan and have started drafting a zoning ordinance, and a study to examine possible fixes for traffic congestion along the U.S. Highway

“I’ve seen Mr. Cyrus, if there was any touchy situation, recuse himself.”

— Tony Aceti, Deschutes County resident specifically included a type of subdivision known as a cluster development. Aspen Lakes is one of only four such subdivisions in the county.

It’s now up to the County Commission to decide whether to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendations.

In the e-mail Wednesday asking people to support his father, Matt Cyrus suggested that his dad’s chance of remaining on the Planning Commission could be slim because two county commissioners are up for election this year.

Matt Cyrus said that articles in The Bulletin and letters from the public are likely “politically motivated” to force the two county commissioners up for election this year — Baney and Commissioner Dennis Luke — to change the Planning Commission from “the conservative majority it has enjoyed for the past year, back to the liberal majority it has maintained since it was formed in the 1980s.”

The plea for support for Keith Cyrus was repeated in an e-mail from his daughter, Pam Mitchell. She encouraged people who could not attend the Thursday night meeting to e-mail the three county commissioners and the county planning director in support of her father, and she provided e-mail addresses for all four.

Cyrus’ term The topic of whether to extend Keith Cyrus’ term on the Planning Commission surfaced Wednesday at a County Commission meeting, where the county commissioners were already meeting to fill a vacant position on the Planning Commission.

97 corridor is due to begin soon.

The momentum isn’t limited to city government, Shields said, citing the recent hiring of Justin Cutler to head up the La Pine Parks & Recreation District, the creation of the La Pine Community Kitchen and the installation of street lighting along Huntington Road using privately raised funds.

“There’s an awful lot of good, positive stuff going on in La Pine right now,” Shields said.

Karen Demaris said it’s been a rocky first few years for La Pine city government, but she’s still convinced incorporation was the right thing to do. Members of the City Council have the city’s best interests in mind, she said, but have sometimes been slow to act

Baney said Cyrus asked her to extend his term by six months.

“At this point, I would not be in favor of doing that,” Baney said.

“I’m going to ask the question,” Baney said. “We’ve got two more months (until Cyrus’ term expires). Do we reappoint Commissioner Cyrus?”

The commission quickly dropped the subject of whether to extend Cyrus’ term, however.

“I find it hard to criticize someone if they truly believe what they’re talking about,” Luke said. “It’s difficult in a county this small not to have conflicts on there, and one of the reasons (former Planning Commissioner Mara Stein) stepped down was because there were too many Realtors on there.”

Luke declined to say Thursday whether he has any concerns about Cyrus remaining on the Planning Commission.

Stein, a real estate broker, and water consultant Tammy HartySailors resigned from the Planning Commission in 2006 after it came under scrutiny because of several commissioners’ real estate interests.

County Commissioner Alan Unger said it’s too soon to say whether Cyrus’ term should be extended, since he has not formally applied for it. Unger also said he thinks other planning commissioners whom Cyrus has spoken with about his own development plans understand Cyrus’ personal interests.

“They’re smart enough to know what is a discussion that has a personal interest to it or not, and take it accordingly,” Unger said.

“I’m not worried about it. I think they’re all big boys, and they’re playing OK in the sandbox.”

The County Commission decided Wednesday to appoint James Powell, a retired anesthesiologist, as the replacement for former Planning Commissioner Susan Quatre, who resigned recently because of health issues and disenchantment with the process.

due to their lack of experience running a city government.

“A lot of them feel like their hands are tied, because they don’t know what they can and can’t do,” Demaris said.

La Pine Chamber of Commerce Director Dan Varcoe attributed much of the frustration seen at the first town hall meeting to the public’s misunderstanding of what was involved in creating a city, and the council’s failure to communicate its activities to the public. The council’s current work isn’t necessarily exciting, Varcoe said, but it is necessary before the city can start working on issues important to local residents.

“They’ve been building a foundation, but they’ve been building it square and level, and exactly

Mine Continued from A1 Mining, unlike the low-wage jobs that predominate here, can provide a worker who is barely 20 years old with a home, a nice truck and a savings account.

“That’s the way it is around here,” Quarles said. “How many people can graduate high school today and tomorrow make $70,000 a year?”

The difference is that unlike in many households, where financial security helps bring peace of mind, in mining families the two are permanently at odds. Stephanie Pennington, for instance, is quick to acknowledge that her family lives well, with a three-bedroom home and a 2007 Dodge Durango, its rear window studded with decals of a pick and shovel, a crawling man with a headlamp, and the legend “WV Coal Miner’s Wife.”

But each night when her husband, Robert Shawn Pennington, leaves for the hoot-owl shift at the ICG Beckley coal mine here, she gathers her three children to pray. “I don’t sleep until I hear that key in the door every morning,” Pennington, 29, said. For her family, the anxiety spans the generations. Pennington’s father was crushed to death in the old Beckley mine while his mother was six weeks pregnant with him.

Here along the mountain roads, punctuated by hand-lettered signs advertising tiny churches or live lizards for sale, mining has enabled Thomas Dulin, 22, and his wife, Amanda, to buy an 8-acre farm and two donkeys, Chocolate and Chip.

Dulin, whose father is a federal mine inspector, was in college studying to be a teacher when he realized that he could make three times as much working as a miner.

In Raleigh County, where the Upper Big Branch mine is located, underground miners make an average of $1,476 a week, or more than twice the average income in the county.

Though Dulin came from a mining family, he had never been in a mine shaft before he decided to leave college. Now that he has spent time underground, he said, he realizes that money is not everything.

“I understand now why my parents didn’t want me to go in the mines,” he said. “Truly your health is very important, and I can see that now, and a lot of the older people in my family who spent 30, 40 years in the mine, I can see the toll it’s taken on them.”

Injuries are not the only danger; many develop respiratory ailments like asthma, silicosis

to code,” he said. “So when they build the house, it’s going to be a beautiful house.”

Tony DeBone, a member of the park district board and a candidate for the Deschutes County Commission, said many in the city’s business community didn’t have a good appreciation for how long building a foundation would take when the city incorporated in 2006. Hoping to see the city take on a leading role in attracting business to La Pine, they became disenchanted as the council got bogged down in drafting intergovernmental agreements and land use plans.

DeBone said the council had good reason to move slow in the early days, but councilors’ uncertainty about how to proceed

Mark Humphrey / The Associated Press

An old miner’s helmet is part of a window display made up of miners’ equipment and candles in Whitesville, W.Va. The tribute includes a lighted candle for each of the 25 miners known to be dead following an explosion at the nearby Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine Monday.

Rescue teams pulled; safety concerns raised MONTCOAL, W.Va. — Rescue teams at the Upper Big Branch mine, where at least 25 people were killed in a deadly blast this week, were abruptly pulled out Thursday morning because methane levels were dangerously high and further explosions were possible, state officials said.

“We think they are in danger,” said Kevin Stricklin, an administrator at the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. “That is the whole intent of pulling them out.”

Officials also said Thursday that only three miners were unaccounted for, rather than four as had previously been reported.

On Wednesday, federal officials said two safety citations were made against the mine’s operator, the Massey Energy Co., on the day of the explosion.

According to records from the mine safety agency, one of the citations issued Monday was for failing to properly insulate and seal spliced electrical cables. The problem was outside the blast and black lung.

Dulin said he would probably go back to college eventually, but to study in a coal-related field. In the meantime, he said, mining is an adventure-filled job, different on every shift. The crews are fraternities whose members watch out for one another even as they tease and play pranks, like greasing the controls of a piece of machinery when the operator is not looking.

Joking aside, a certain amount of rationalization is

deflated some of the initial enthusiasm about incorporation.

“There were just so many questions,” he said. “The excitement stopped, and then we had to deal with the frustration.”

Art Uecker, owner of La Pine Insurance Center and president of the chamber, said he probably expected too much of the city early on. As he’s learned more about what the state requires of a new city, he’s become more tolerant of the pace of progress.

“I think as with any new venture, whether it be a business or in this case a municipality, expectations versus reality is always an issue you have to deal with,” he said.

Uecker said he’s seen a lot of positive developments since the

area and was fixed immediately, federal mine safety officials said.

The other citation was for failing to keep maps of above-ground escape routes current. It was not immediately clear if federal inspectors were at the mine before the blast, or if the citations were issued for conditions they discovered after responding to the explosion.

At the time of the explosion on Monday, Stricklin was waiting at the airport in nearby Charleston, W.Va., on his way from Washington to a Massey mine in Kentucky.

An agency spokesman said Stricklin was traveling to discuss various violations at the Kentucky mine. Stricklin quickly canceled his plans to visit the other Massey site and instead headed to the Upper Big Branch.

On Jan. 7, federal regulators issued two citations against the mine because the intake system that was supposed to pull clean air inside was moving air in the wrong direction. Similar problems were also noted by the mine safety agency after a 2006 fire at a Massey mine in Logan County, W.Va., killed two miners.

— New York Times News Service required before one can spend each day embedded in a mountain of rock, chipping away at it from the inside. Accidents can happen on any job, some miners say. Others say their lives are in God’s hands. Still others simply push thoughts of danger to the back of their mind.

“I try not to let it get to me in any way,” said James Songer, 21, whose face on Wednesday morning was still blackened with coal dust from the night shift. “Try not to think about it.

Say a prayer before I go in.”

October town hall, particularly the effort to recruit a city manager, and the decision to drop a proposal for a city business license.

Those who live outside the city limits — the city of La Pine has only 1,600 residents, while the greater La Pine area is close to 20,000 — have been invited to serve on the city’s citizen committees, Uecker said, “Has it been challenging? Obviously. Will it continue to be challenging? As long as people are involved, there will be challenges. It’s the nature of the beast,” Uecker said. “But will it move forward? Yes.” Scott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or at shammers@bendbulletin.com.

Senate Continued from A1

Inspiration Woodland and Stutzman both said they decided to run for office after attending a town hall meeting held by a Democratic lawmaker.

For Stutzman, it was a meeting with U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Canby, that motivated him.

Schrader’s answer to a question about health care reform — that it might make sense for public insurance programs to compete with private insurers — struck Stutzman as wrong.

“I sat there the whole rest of the meeting thinking this guy is a veterinarian; I wonder what he would think if we set up a nonprofit vet clinic next to his for-profit clinic,” Stutzman said.

“That was my very first political thought.”

For Woodland, it was a Wyden town hall that did it. Woodland left the meeting feeling the senator was out of touch after 30 years in Congress.

“I think Washington, D.C., is a little far from Oregon, and frankly far from citizens’ needs and desires,” Woodland said.

Parker was motivated in part by the debate over health care reform, which he saw as a shift of wealth from workers to lowincome families. The dealmaking surrounding the health care process inspired him to try to oust Wyden, who is finishing his second full Senate term.

“These people think they know what’s best for us,” Parker said of the incumbent lawmakers. “They really are getting too smart for our own good. What they should be looking at is how to cut down on spending our money.”

Veteran Republicans and Democrats alike seem to get corrupted by the political process, Dinkel said.

To reduce radiation errors, FDA tightens rules

By Walt Bogdanich New York Times News Service

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that it was taking steps to reduce overdoses, underdoses and other errors in radiation therapy by strengthening the agency’s approval process for new radiotherapy equipment.

In a letter to manufacturers, the FDA said its action was based on a recent analysis of more than 1,000 reports of errors involving these devices that were filed over the last 10 years.

The FDA will no longer allow new radiotherapy equipment to enter the market via a streamlined approval process that sometimes involved the use of outside, third-party reviewers, Dr. Alberto Gutierrez, the FDA’s director of in vitro diagnostic device evaluation and safety, said in an interview. That process, he said, was instituted in the 1990s to reduce the agency’s workload and speed approval time.

Most of the reported problems — 74 percent — involved linear accelerators, computercontrolled machines that generate high-powered beams of radiation that target and destroy cancer cells. Problems with computer software were most frequently cited as a cause for the errors, according to the letter sent Thursday by Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

The agency’s analysis, Shuren said, “revealed device problems that appear to be the result of faulty design or use error that could be mitigated by the incorporation of additional safeguards.”

In some error reports, manufacturers could not identify the problem, the FDA said.

The agency said 40 percent of new radiotherapy equipment approved last year had been put through the streamlined process.

Gutierrez, in the interview, said the agency’s decision to take a closer look at radiotherapy devices had been prompted by two articles in January in The New York Times. The articles documented the sometimes crippling effects of radiation overdoses that resulted, in part, from the inability of regulators and the medical community to keep pace with rapid technological advances in the industry.

When it comes to ideas, each of the candidates who spoke with The Bulletin said he favors lower taxes, lower government spending and measures to limit the extent of professional politicians, a platform that closely aligns with the populist tea party and 9/12 movements.

“It stands for Taxed Enough Already,” Stutzman said, of the tea party name.

While the other candidates have Web sites mostly focused on their platforms, or no site at all, Woodland included a lengthy disclosure of what he calls “my liabilities,” including two divorces, two bankruptcies and the fact that he is a recovering alcoholic.

“I thought it best to basically inoculate myself by just admitting those things right up front,” Woodland said.

Before he announced his candidacy and put his private challenges into the public arena,

Hominid Continued from A1 Fossil hunters have profitably scoured these rolling grasslands north of Johannesburg since the 1930s.

Matthew held the ancient remains of a 4-foot-2 boy who had been just a few years older than Matthew himself. Berger, with the Institute for Human Evolution at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and his fellow researchers have since found much more of the boy’s skeleton, including his extraordinarily well-preserved skull, and three other individuals.

South Africa’s children will compete to name the boy.

In a report being published Friday in the journal Science, Berger, 44, and a team of scientists said the fossils from the boy and a woman were a surprising and distinctive mixture of primitive and advanced anatomy and thus qualified as a new species of hominid, the ancestors and other close relatives of humans. It has been named Australopithecus sediba.

The species sediba, which means fountain or wellspring in Sotho, strode upright on long legs, with human-shaped hips and pelvis, but still climbed through trees on apelike arms.

It had the small teeth and more modern face of Homo, the genus that includes modern humans, but the relatively primitive feet and “tiny brain” of Australopithecus, Berger said.

Geologists estimated that the individuals lived 1.78 million to 1.95 million years ago, probably closer to the older date, when australopithecines and early species of Homo were contemporaries.

Berger’s team said that the new species probably descended from Australopithecus africanus. At a teleconference on Wednesday, he described the species as a possible ancestor of Homo erectus, an immediate predecessor to Homo sapiens, or a close “side branch” that did not lead to modern humans.

Scientists not involved in the research are debating whether the bones belong to the Homo or Australopithecus genus, but most agree that the discovery of the skeletons at the Malapa site here in the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site where dolomitic limestone caves contain fossils of ancient animals and hominids, is a major advance in the early fossil history of hominids.

“They are a fascinating mosaic of features,” said Rick Potts, director of the Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian. “It reminds us of the combining and recombining of characteristics, the tinkering

“I slept about two to three hours a night in shifts for probably two to three weeks leading up to the decision to file and afterwards,” Woodland said. “It definitely put a fear into me.”

Campaigning All of the candidates said campaigning has been a good experience so far, even if it has come to dominate their free time.

“Everywhere I go, people say the same things. ... In a way, it’s encouraging to see people are willing to step out and go the extra mile to get people in Congress who will actually be congressmen and senators, and not Marxists,” Dinkel said.

Parker said he doesn’t even mind the long drives to and from meetings with different community groups, because it gives him time to talk with his wife, who accompanies him to most events and has helped with the campaign.

“We get to spend time together, we get to chat for a couple of hours,” Parker said.

and experimentation, that go on in evolution.”

Berger said the path to the discovery began over the Christmas holidays in 2007 when he began using Google Earth to map caves in the Cradle of Humankind. On a recent visit to his office, he rotated Google Earth images of the dun landscape on his desktop, showing how he spotted the shadows and distortions of the earth that gave clues to the location of caves, often topped with wild olive and white stinkwood trees.

On Aug. 15, 2008, when Matthew called his father to look at the bones he had found, Berger began cursing wildly as he neared his son. The boy mistook his father’s profanity for anger. But from 15 feet, Berger, who had done his Ph.D. thesis on hominid shoulder bones, among them the clavicle, was astounded to see that his son had in his hands a clavicle with the unmistakable shape of a hominid.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Berger giddily recalled. “I took the rock, and I turned it” and “sticking out of the back of the rock was a mandible with a tooth, a canine, sticking out. And I almost died,” he said, adding, “What are the odds?”

In March 2009 he found the remarkably intact cranium of the sediba boy whose clavicle Matthew had picked up. Donald C. Johanson, who found the famed 3.2-million-year-old Lucy skeleton in Ethiopia in 1973, described the skull as “a fabulous specimen.”

In his lab last week, Berger took a fire-resistant case from a metal safe and reverently lifted the skull from its foam bed, revealing its startlingly delicate face.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” he said.

The scientists also found a profusion of animal fossils at the site — saber-toothed cats, mongooses, wild dogs, antelopes, hyenas and mice, among others. Berger and Paul Dirks, a geologist at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, hypothesized that the animals might have been lured to the edge of a 100- to 150-foot funnel-shaped shaft into a deep cave, perhaps by the scent of water during a drought, then plunged to the bottom of a death trap.

There is evidence that maggots and carrion beetles, but not carnivores, fed upon the rotting carcasses, leading the scientists to conclude that the carnivores, too, must have died from the fall. The first downpours of the rainy season may have swept the bodies into a pool of water rich with lime and sand — the ingredients of cement — that essentially froze them in place. Berger called the

Parker, Dinkel, Stutzman and Woodland recognized they’re underdogs to win the nomination. All but Woodland, though, said they resent that Republican groups and the media have already anointed Huffman the fa-

vorite in the race.

“I think it’s circumvention of the process,” Dinkel said. “What makes him so special?”

When it comes to understanding the issues facing Oregonians, “I’ve had to actually live that and work that, and not just theorize it when I’m sipping my latte at the university with my tenured buddies,” Dinkel said.

Stutzman echoed those feelings.

“There’s one guy the state party has picked to be the nominee, but nobody in the state party ever asked me my opinion of the guy,” Stutzman said, of Huffman.

Huffman disputed that idea in an interview Monday.

“If establishment means one is part of a long-standing infrastructure and leadership of the party, I’m the furthest thing from that,” Huffman said. “If one can ever claim to be an outsider to politics, I’ve got to be your guy because I’m a total outsider, and I think that’s what we need.”

The Oregon GOP hasn’t officially endorsed any candidate, but party officials, including Chairman Bob Tiernan, have been effusive in their praise for Huffman since he announced his candidacy. Oregonian columnist Elizabeth Hovde wrote that Tiernan “gets giddy when you ask him about Huffman.”

Earlier this week, Oregon GOP Communications Director Greg Leo told The Bulletin that state Republicans “know he is consistent and strong and doing a great job.”

sediba fossils “a time machine” into evolutionary processes.

Researchers now think the

split between apes and the hominid lineage occurred around 7 million years ago in Africa.

But the candidates are lagging behind on one of the basic tasks of a political campaign: raising money. Each candidate said he’s done either no fundraising or very little.

Dinkel, who said he spends about 60 hours a week on the campaign, said he’s been reluctant to ask for money during a down economy, even when he’s speaking before community groups.

“I have a hard time going up front like an Amway guy and saying, ‘Give me money,’” said Dinkel, who said he’s “real close” to raising $5,000 in donations.

Parker said he’s raised less than $1,000 so far, mostly from unsolicited donations. At first, he didn’t know what to do when someone offered him a contribution.

“I also turned down an opportunity to get some contributions at one of my first meetings because I just wasn’t prepared for it,” Parker said, illustrating another difference between himself and professional politicians.

In politics, winning support of power brokers is part of the game, he said.

“In running a 100-meter dash or a marathon, all that matters is one’s ability to run the race within the rules and the length that’s proscribed, and so on,” Lunch said. “In politics on the Republican side, it’s very consequential, it matters a lot which candidates or candidate large business organizations support, also religious conservative organizations, all of those organizations that are engaged in this.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF State economic index shows another gain The University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators rose 0.3 percent in February, further proof that the state’s economy continues to recover, albeit gradually, according to a report on the index Thursday.

It was the sixth consecutive month of gains.

“The pace of improvement moderated compared to gains reported for the previous five months,” the report said. “Still, the recovery remains intact, with the six-month annualized increase rising to 11.7 percent.”

The report concluded that “the recovery increasingly looks sustainable, although the pace of growth in the absence of inventory correction and government stimulus may be insufficient to drive rapid improvement in the labor market,” where indicators were mixed.

The index includes Oregon initial unemployment claims, employment services payrolls, residential building permits and weight-distance tax; University of Michigan U.S. consumer confidence; manufacturers’ new orders for non-defense and non-aircraft capital goods; and the interest rate spread between 10-year Treasury bonds and the federal funds rate.

March boardings up at Redmond Airport Passenger boardings at Redmond Airport increased last month about 15 percent over February’s tally, according to figures released Thursday, but fell about 1.5 percent when compared with March 2009 statistics.

In March, 18,887 passengers boarded flights out of Redmond, the figures show, an increase of 2,460 from February’s total of 16,427.

Last month’s boardings fell by 292 from March 2009, when 19,179 passengers flew out.

For the first three months of this year, 53,935 people have boarded flights out of Redmond, an increase of 503 over the 53,432 passengers who flew out of Redmond from January through March in 2009.

Youth face grim job market Older, experienced job seekers have upper hand

By David Holley The Bulletin

Like many people her age, Tiffany Grimm is caught in a catch-22 of the job market.

Grimm, 22, has applied for jobs but has been turned down each time. The businesses tell her they want someone with experience — six months or more than a year working in a field — that she doesn’t have.

“But how can you get experience if no one will hire you?” Grimm said.

So Grimm is left at WorkSource Oregon’s

Bend office, sifting through Web pages of job openings, while someone else with a stronger work background is hired. In an economy where everyone is looking for a job — from high school teens to senior citizens who typically would have retired years ago — multiple studies show young adults and teenagers are suffering the worst unemployment rates nationally, in part because they lack the experience to compete with older workers who have years of training.

Many jobs are going to baby boomers who have avoided or left retirement for work

because the economy drastically reduced their savings. For people between 55 and 64, wealth fell by about 38 percent between 2004 and 2009, according to a study published April 7 by the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

“In the face of such a loss, many older workers chose to delay retirement and either continue working or go back to work because they could not afford to retire,” Kathryn Anne Edwards and Alexander Hertel-Fernandez wrote in the study. “Not only are there fewer jobs in the economy, but also fewer workers retiring and opening up positions.”

Air bags, not speed, top safety complaints They may not raise alarms, but recent recalls have affected 5 million vehicles

By Jo Craven McGinty and Micheline Maynard

Inside

New York Times News Service

An analysis of consumer claims submitted to auto manufacturers in recent years shows that speed-control issues — like those that have led to the recall of millions of Toyota vehicles — account for a small percentage of the possible problems brought to the attention of carmakers.

The biggest complaint? Air bags. They were cited in more than half the claims that the six largest automakers in the United States reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration since 2003, when the agency began collecting the information.

By contrast, speed control was listed

• Ford models take top spots in pet safety ratings, Page B3 as a factor in 3 percent of the claims, the analysis of the claims by The New York Times shows.

The six biggest automakers — General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, Honda and Nissan — received more than 23,800 claims and notices against

vehicles manufactured since 2000 after events resulting in death or injury. In each case, the number of claims involving speed control was small compared with reports that listed air bags as a potential problem — even for Toyota, which proportionately had far more speed-control complaints than any other carmaker.

There have been more than 70 recalls for air bags or their parts involving vehicles manufactured in the past 10 years by the six major carmakers.

China is set Stellar gains at retailers in March to allow its

By Stephanie Rosenbloom New York Times News Service

The nation’s retailers reported their strongest monthly sales growth in a decade on Thursday, with robust gains in virtually every category of merchandise and every type of store.

The industry collectively posted a 9.1 percent sales increase at stores open at least

a year, according to Thomson Reuters. That was the strongest result since the group began tracking the figures in 2000.

Analysts polled ahead of time by Thomson Reuters had lofty expectations for March, but the results released Thursday handily beat the 6.3 percent increase they had predicted.

currency to strengthen

By Keith Bradsher New York Times News Service

HONG KONG — The Chinese government is preparing to announce in the coming days that it will allow its currency to strengthen slightly and vary more from day to day, people with knowledge of the emerging consensus in Beijing said Thursday. The move would help ease tension with the Obama administration about the huge trade deficit the United States has with China.

China’s exports have been bolstered by its policy of keeping its currency, known as the renminbi or yuan, pegged at a nearly fixed rate to the dollar.

State, federal officials give tips on how to spot and avoid fraud

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

Though it may be hard to play the cynic, be careful whom you trust.

The advice was one of the main points shared by state and federal officials in Bend at a seminar Thursday on recognizing and avoiding financial fraud.

Roughly 50 people, mostly seniors, showed up to the Central Oregon Environmental Center to hear a bevy of speakers espouse the importance of questioning the motives and credentials of anyone offering a path to riches that sounds too good to be true.

“That’s the best defense, when you ask questions they can’t answer,” said Diane Childs, an outreach coordinator with the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. “Criminals hate people that ask a lot of questions.”

From old-fashioned con artists pitching no-risk, get-rich-quick schemes to newfangled Internet-based phishing scams, more people are being victimized by fraud, especially in the down economy, Childs said.

Seniors, she added, are especially vulnerable.

“They have money, and they are trusting,” Childs added, warning that con artists often target senior centers and churches to find their victims.

Childs said con artists have several traits in common.

Apple, taking aim at Google, Contrition, and lack of it, unveils a mobile ad network mark Citigroup hearing INVESTIGATING ORIGINS OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS

By Jessica Guynn and David Sarno

By Eric Dash and Sewell Chan

Los Angeles Times

New York Times News Service

In a direct attack on Silicon Valley rival Google Inc., Apple Inc. unveiled its new mobile advertising system Thursday and promised to deliver a new generation of compelling interactive ads to its devices.

Chief Executive Steve Jobs announced Apple’s iAd advertising network as one of a raft of features coming later this year to its iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch line.

By building an advertising system into its products, Jobs said, Apple is hoping to tap into a nascent but potentially lucrative market: the growing number of consumers who are picking up a cell phone when they want to access the Internet.

Analysts predict that within five years, more users will access the Internet from mobile devices than personal computers, which could translate into billions of dollars in sales of phones, software and services.

Spending on mobile advertising in the U.S. last year was about $416 million, and it is expected to climb to more than $1.5 billion by 2013, according to research firm EMarketer. Online advertising generated $24 billion last year, the firm said.

That has led to Apple and Google racing against one another to build competing mobile advertising platforms. Their goal is simple: Whether people are reading on computer tablets at home, talking on cell phones in the car or listening to music players while walking down the street, advertisers can reach them.

What such marketing campaigns will look like, or how they will let people interact with mediarich ads, is still in the early stages.

At Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Jobs showed some examples of what was possible with ads for the upcoming “Toy Story” movie, Nike Air sneakers and Target: Each ad more closely resembled small, touchable multimedia games than traditional static Web ads.

WASHINGTON — The two men who steered Citigroup into the eye of the financial storm offered a striking pair of contrasts on Thursday.

Charles O. Prince III, Citigroup’s former chairman and chief executive, abased himself before the federal panel investigating the causes of the crisis, apologizing repeatedly for the billions of dollars in losses at an institution that ended up the recipient of $45 billion of taxpayer aid.

But Robert Rubin, the former Treasury secretary, faced withering questions from the panel, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, for his spare expressions of remorse. Repeatedly playing down his role as chairman of Citigroup’s executive committee, he was met with anger and disbelief.

“You were either pulling the levers or asleep at the switch,” Philip Angelides, the committee’s chairman, told him.

After three hours of testimony, Prince emerged as dignified, sympathetic and even statesmanlike. Rubin, the consummate wise man of Washington and Wall Street, looked drawn and demoralized.

In the second of three days of hearings this week, commission members dug into myriad reasons behind Citigroup’s collapse. They depicted a company so troubled that its crisis meetings were called “Def-

App advantage Even before the launch of iAd, Apple had a substantial head start in the mobile marketplace: The company sold more than 85 million iPhones and iPod Touch players in the last three years.

That success has attracted an army of software developers, who have built 185,000 applications for Apple’s hand-held devices.

Users have downloaded 4 billion applications since the earliest became available in 2008, Jobs said.

“Search is not happening on phones,” Jobs said, in a direct jab at Google. “People are using apps, and this is where the opportunity is to deliver advertising.”

Analysts say Google is likely to match Apple by offering developers more incentives to build applications for devices that run on its Android mobile operating system. The Android store has more than 30,000 applications available

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs unveils iAd, the company’s new mobile advertising network. for download. (Google executives declined to disclose the number of apps that consumers have downloaded for Android-based devices.)

Aaron Stein, a spokesman for Google, acknowledged Thursday that Apple’s move “is more evidence of how quickly mobile advertising is evolving and growing.”

Along with the iPad tablet computer Apple released Saturday — it has sold 450,000 units so far — the company is now hoping to offer a broader technical palette to advertisers. In turn, they would be able to design larger, more colorful ads that users can interact with.

The Google threat Yet Google poses serious competition. The company, which has built a vast empire on its Internet ads, has been selling search ads on phones and on mobile Web pages for years — albeit with limited success.

Google made an aggressive move to dominate mobile advertising in November, when it outmaneuvered Apple to buy the largest independent mobile advertising network, AdMob Inc. But the pending $750 million acquisition is being held up by federal regulators, who are concerned that it would give Google, already the leader in Internet search advertising, too much of an advantage in an emerging but crucial new sector.

If regulators green-light Google’s acquisition of AdMob, Google would claim an estimated 21 percent of the U.S. mobile advertising market, according to IDC research analyst Karsten Weide.

A Federal Trade Commission spokesman declined to comment Wednesday.

However, the investigation is ramping up, according to media reports.

Determining whether the acquisition could harm competition in such a nascent market, however, could be difficult, said David Balto, former antitrust attorney for the Justice Department and the FTC. Regulators are expected to decide within the next month whether they will challenge the deal, he said.

Google has contended that mobile advertising is already bursting with competition, and points to Apple’s $275 million acquisition in January of Quattro Wireless of Waltham, Mass. Quattro provided the foundation for Apple’s new iAd platform.

AdMob and Quattro Wireless are just two of a dozen mobile networks that sell ads designed to be displayed on Apple’s iPhone and devices that run on Google’s Android mobile operating system.

Apple’s iAd network could help assuage regulators’ concerns, Weide said.

“It makes the argument more credible that there is a healthy level of competition,” he said.

“I’m sorry the financial crisis has had such a devastating impact for our country. I’m sorry about the millions of people, average Americans, who lost their homes. And I’m sorry that our management teams, starting with me, like so many others, could not see the unprecedented market collapse that lay before us.”

— Charles O. Prince III, former chairman and CEO of Citigroup Con calls” and so callous to risks that its regulators were confounded.

But the bulk of the hearing was spent assessing the men’s responsibility for a company that has come to represent the concept of “too big to fail.”

Prince tried to get ahead of the criticism by departing from his prepared statement to offer an abject apology.

“I’m sorry the financial crisis has had such a devastating impact for our country,” Prince said. “I’m sorry about the millions of people, average Americans, who lost their homes. And I’m sorry that our management teams, starting with me, like so many others, could not see the unprecedented market collapse that lay before us.”

His unusually blunt statement of remorse seemed to take some of the oxygen out of a series of hearings more accustomed to corporate legalese.

Rubin stopped short of accepting personal responsibility.

He grudgingly conceded that a

United chief on 3rd verse of old tune

By Jad Mouawad New York Times News Service

When Glenn Tilton took the helm at United Airlines eight years ago, he inherited an airline that was fighting for its life.

It hasn’t gotten easier since.

His tenure has since mirrored the roller-coaster ride of the entire industry, as United has gone in and out of bankruptcy, had contentious relations with its unions and suffered steep losses. Even as the airline has sought to cut capacity and reduce costs, it has had only one profitable year since Tilton took over in 2002.

Now, Tilton is seeking once more to find salvation in a tieup with a competing airline.

But as United and US Airways resume their merger talks — the third go-round since 2000 — one question remains: Is Tilton simply trying to make the best of a weak hand?

He has long been a champi-

on of merging airlines to restore consistent profits in the bruising world of airline competition.

Along the way, he has held talks with most of the major carriers, courted Continental Airlines and even Delta Air Lines, and rhapsodized at length about the benefits of consolidation.

Tilton was not available for comment on Thursday.

A combination of United and US Airways would create the second-largest U.S. carrier by traffic. The merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines, completed at the beginning of this year, created the current industry leader.

United and US Airways have not commented, but people who had been briefed on the discussions said Wednesday that the airlines were discussing a merger. Wall Street investors and analysts welcomed the news. Shares of all airlines rose sharply Thursday, as investors speculated on other possible mergers.

Continued from B1 Many members of Congress and many economists say that by spending several hundred billion dollars each year to hold down the value of the renminbi, China has made its exports extremely competitive in foreign markets and taken away sales from manufacturers in the United States and other countries.

But if China allows only a small move in the renminbi, the effects on the American trade deficit may also be small.

Chinese companies are formidably competitive and while labor costs are rising in China, transportation and communication costs are plunging because of heavy investment in new expressways and rail lines.

A marginally stronger renminbi would make Chinese goods only marginally more expensive in the United States and make American goods slightly cheaper in China, which is now exporting more than four times as much to the United States as it imports.

The move is being taken for domestic policy reasons in China, primarily as an inflation-fighting tool, people with knowledge of the emerging consensus in Beijing said Thursday.

While any announcement could

still be delayed, China’s central bank appears to have prevailed with its arguments within the Chinese leadership for a stronger but more flexible currency, these people said.

Chinese officials have been publicly wrangling over what to do about the currency for a month, with the central bank favoring a prompt move while the Commerce Ministry, aligned with exporters, has opposed currency appreciation.

Holding down the value of the renminbi through huge currency market intervention has become an enormous expense for China. The central bank spent 9.2 percent of the country’s economic output last year on the purchase of foreign reserves, mainly Treasuries now paying low interest.

A stronger renminbi could prove to be a mixed blessing for the United States. If China cuts back sharply on purchases of Treasuries, then the Obama administration could find it harder to finance American budget deficits.

But with the Chinese economy booming, a small move in the renminbi may still leave the central bank struggling with trade surpluses and a tide of speculative investment into China. That could force it to continue buying Treasuries with the extra dollars.

“The potential for additional industry consolidation is an unambiguous positive,” wrote Gary Chase, an airline analyst at Barclays Capital. He estimated that a combination of United and US Airways would result in cost savings of $250 million to $400 million a year.

Last year, United lost $651 million, a relative improvement from its staggering loss of $5.4 billion in 2008, at a time when oil prices surged. The company says it has been actively working to reduce its capacity, grounding 100 planes and raising new revenue through fees.

On Wednesday, United said that its average revenue per passenger per available seat mile, an industry metric representing how much money it earned from carrying one passenger for one mile, had increased 21.5 to 23.5 percent last month over March 2009. Compared with March 2008, last month’s revenue was 3.2 to 5.2 percent higher.

few savvy investors saw the crisis coming, asserting that nearly everyone in the financial services industry had failed to see a dozen powerful forces — from excessive debt levels to trade imbalance — come together in a perfect storm.

“We all bear responsibility for not recognizing this, and I deeply regret that,” Rubin said.

Rubin’s stance left several members of the panel angry.

Rubin earned more than $100 million during a decade at Citigroup. But he mentioned that period sparingly, far less than he did his tenure as a co-chief executive of Goldman Sachs, where he worked before joining the Clinton administration.

Angelides, a former California state treasurer and a fellow Democrat, did not buy it.

“You were not a garden-variety board member,” he said. “I think to most people, chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors implies leadership. Certainly $15 million a year implies leadership.”

Retail Continued from B1 “This really seems to herald the end of the consumer spending slowdown,” said Bill Dreher, senior research analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities. “Consumers across the entire spectrum are spending. It’s department stores, it’s discount stores, warehouse clubs — it’s in all subcategories in retailing, which is new.”

For many months, discount chains were the sole type of retailers showing gains as consumers pinched pennies. A recovery in retailing has been gathering strength for months, showing up first at the high end; now stores catering to every class of shopper are benefiting. Thursday’s results were the seventh consecutive month of gains in same-store sales.

Retailers urged a measure of caution in interpreting the results, however. While they are all relieved to be growing again, the recession was such a brutal experience that they are not quite ready to celebrate.

A major caveat was that Easter fell a week earlier this year, which retailers said helped drive March sales, most likely at the expense of their April results. A clearer picture of the industry’s health will emerge next month, when analysts are able to look at the combined results for March and April.

A N Cost of owning a car rose 5% in ‘09

By Susan Gilmore The Seattle Times

The average cost to own and operate a medium-sized car has risen 4.8 percent since last year to 56.6 cents a mile, or $8,487 a year, according to AAA’s annual cost study.

The amount was based on 15,000 miles of driving each year.

The study found a small car costs 43.3 cents a mile, or $6,496 a year, while a fourwheel drive SUV is the most expensive, at nearly 74 cents per mile, or $11,000 a year.

Increases in the cost of fuel, tires and insurance were the primary factors causing a rise in all categories of vehicles, said AAA. At the time of the study, the national average cost of regular unleaded gas was $2.60 per gallon, nearly 13 percent higher than the cost of fuel in last year’s study.

The average cost of insurance coverage also rose 5.7 percent over last year, while tire costs increased about 9 percent.

The small-sedan category had the smallest increase from last year, only 2.9 percent. It was the only category where depreciation costs were lower than last year, falling nearly 2 percent.

The small sedans chosen for the study by AAA, based on the top-selling models, were the Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla.

SUVs experienced the biggest hit in depreciation. That category had a 10.7 percent change in its depreciation rate and is now losing an average of $5,003 in value per year.

AAA has been publishing the “Your Driving Costs” analysis since 1950, when a car driven 10,000 miles a year cost 9 cents per mile and gasoline was 27 cents a gallon.

Ford Edge is top dog in pet safety

By Amy Worden The Philadelphia Inquirer

Is Dog your co-pilot? Then listen up. The Ford Edge is the safest car on the road for pets.

So says the pet safety group, Bark Buckle UP (www .barkbuckleup.com) In fact, Ford has three of the top 10 pet-safe vehicles for 2010.

Also on the list: Chrysler Town and Country; Dodge Journey; Ford Edge; Ford Flex; Ford Transit Connect; Kia Soul; Honda Element (which last year introduced its first “dog friendly model” complete with ramp, rear car kennel, pet bed and fan); Smart Car; Subaru Outback; and Volvo XC60.

“Most people don’t think about it, but in only a 35-mph accident with a 60-pound pet, it becomes a 2,700-pound projectile,” says Christina Selter, founder of Bark Buckle UP, which also markets in-vehicle safety products for pets. “This will injure the pet, passengers and driver. Or the pet may escape the vehicle and cause a second accident, or become agitated and bite the first responder that’s on scene.”

The group evaluated vehicles on a variety of petfriendly points, including how easily the vehicle accommodates animals and kennels of various sizes, ease of access to pet from within the vehicle, ease of pet entry and exit, ventilation for animals in the rear and whether the vehicle has pet-friendly surfaces or safety gear.

A NUMMI worker on the assembly line helps build a Chevy Nova in Fremont, Calif., in 1986.

An unlikely factory, a landmark success

By George Avalos Oakland (Calif.) Tribune

FREMONT, Calif. — Last week, the last of 7.7 million vehicles rolled off the NUMMI assembly line, idling the last of 4,700 workers.

But, far from being an industrial flop, NUMMI over the past 25 years became a landmark of American manufacturing — and proof that innovation in heavy industry was anything but extinct.

“NUMMI really redefined manufacturing in the United States in many ways,” said David Cole, principal executive with the Center for Automotive Research.

A joint venture of General Motors and Toyota Motor Corp. when it opened in late 1984, the Fremont plant marked the first time a Japanese automaker teamed up with a U.S. vehicle manufacturer to produce cars.

“NUMMI was an American success story,” said Perry Wong, director of regional economics with the Milken Institute.

To its bittersweet end, the quality at NUMMI — measured by a paucity of vehicle defects — has rivaled or topped any auto factory worldwide, according to workers at the plant and analysts. NUMMI’s vehicles were not among those that unleashed numerous Toyota recalls earlier this year.

A win-win When GM and Toyota struck a deal in 1983 to cobble together the oddest of industry couples, each auto titan had plenty on the line.

For GM, the Fremont plant was a way to banish its ossified manufacturing practices and learn Toyota’s new ways to produce vehicles.

For Toyota, NUMMI offered a U.S. beachhead and immersion in the quirks of the nation’s creaky industrial sector.

When the factory’s first vehicle — a Chevy Nova — was produced in 1984, it was not at all certain that GM and Toyota would accomplish their goals.

Both succeeded to a great extent, but maybe not fully.

Some experts think GM was not an apt enough student to avoid bankruptcy, an event that shoved the factory onto a fast track to shutdown. Others suggested that Toyota never became comfortable with the NUMMI union.

“General Motors did try to learn the Japanese techniques and how to make the operation

Rick Madrid, a General Motors employee from 1955 until 1982 when it became NUMMI, watches as the last car goes down the assembly line. more streamlined and introduce quality control,” Wong said. “Perhaps GM could have done better.”

Still, successes far outstripped disappointments, according to several analysts. NUMMI marked the first time that Toyota had to deal with an organized work force and the sometimes arcane work rules of the United Auto Workers.

“The big question mark was whether Toyota’s legendary production system could work, even with a unionized American work force,” said University of California-Berkeley professor Harley Shaiken, a member of the university’s Institute for Research on Labor and Employment.

The answer was yes — even a resounding yes.

“From early on, NUMMI was a plant that was competitive with Japan’s plants,” Shaiken said.

“And NUMMI was at the top of the list among American auto plants.”

Consistent quality New verbiage arrived in the United States, along with newfangled ways to make cars, due to NUMMI. Kaizen, the Japanese word for continuous improvement, became a staple of the language at the plant. Just-in-time manufacturing, a more streamlined assembly process, was another catchphrase.

The concept of team members and team leaders replaced the tradition of workers and foremen.

Rank-and-file team members were empowered to halt the as-

sembly line if they saw fit.

“It was a great way for Toyota to explore how its manufacturing systems could be adapted in the U.S.,” Toyota spokesman Mike Goss said. “We also learned a great deal about how American ingenuity can be applied to our systems. Toyota greatly valued the NUMMI experience.”

“NUMMI played an important role in the history of the U.S. automotive industry, and that’s something of which we are very proud,” said Lance Tomasu, a NUMMI spokesman. “We’re also proud that generations of workers learned important skills and built careers working at NUMMI.” At the end of February, when NUMMI workers knew they only had a few weeks left, a surprise audit confirmed that quality had not eroded.

Toyota inspectors checked 100 vehicles, split evenly between Corolla passenger cars and Tacoma trucks, said David Karlin, a quality control team leader on the Tacoma truck line.

The audit found that the Corollas had 0.1 defects per 100 vehicles, and the Tacomas had 0.16 defects per 100, Karlin said. The goal was 0.2 defects per 100 vehicles.

“That was an awesome result,” Karlin said. “The quality is still there.”

Overcapacity Rich Castaneda, a San Jose resident who works in quality control on the Corolla at NUMMI, recalls the differences between his years at the Ford plant in Milpitas and at the NUMMI factory.

“The quality is so much better at NUMMI,” he said. “At Ford, you did only one job unless somebody quit or retired. At NUMMI, I was taught five or six jobs.”

Perhaps NUMMI was a victim of its own success. Toyota learned so much from the plant about how to manufacture in North America that over the decades it became a less essential cog for the automaker.

“NUMMI just lived past its useful life,” Cole said. “The real curse was the overcapacity. NUMMI had old capacity, and old capacity is always more vulnerable.”

Nevertheless, American industry leaders learned much.

“In the new century, American car manufacturing has the same quality as the foreign companies,” Wong said. “That all started with NUMMI.”

workers, but 26.4 percent of unemployed people, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Beyond older workers snatching up jobs, young workers also are suffering from a harsh, if not harsher, downturn in many industries that typically employ the nation’s youth: accommodations and food services; retail trade; and arts, entertainment and recreation.

In Deschutes County between September 2007 and September 2009, employment in retail trade dropped by almost 14 percent. In arts, entertainment and recreation, it dropped by more than 12 percent, and in accommodations and food services, it declined by more than 8 percent, according to the Employment Department.

Because these three industries have the highest amount of youth employment in Deschutes County, and they all showed strong employment

Continued from B1 The youth labor force declined by 6.3 percent from 2004 to 2009, while the labor force of workers 55 and older increased by 8.5 percent, according to the study, which used data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics and other studies.

The national unemployment rate among youth — people 16 to 24 years old — was 18.9 percent in January, according to the study, called “The Kids Aren’t Alright.” That’s up from 11.8 percent in December 2007, and nearly twice as high as the overall unemployment rate for U.S. workers in January.

Youth accounted for 15 percent of employment at the beginning of 2009 in Oregon, according to a study published March 23 by Guy Tauer, an economist with the Oregon Employment Department.

Nationally, young people account for about 13.5 percent of

declines, it’s likely that the national and statewide trends of high unemployment among youth is true in Central Oregon, said Carolyn Eagan, the area’s regional economist for the Employment Department.

“Anything that’s a national trend with this recession, we seem to be right there, if not leading the way,” Eagan said.

Because so many people are looking for work right now, she said it’s difficult for people with little to no experience to outmatch professionals with a strong work background. Historically, young people have had the benefit of landing jobs because they will take lower pay, Eagan said.

That doesn’t matter as much anymore.

“Right now, this far along in the recession, all workers have been willing to accept lower wages,” Eagan said.

Continued from B1 They usually dress well and fit in, work hard to establish a relationship by professing to have the same hobbies or interests, and go out of their way to earn trust by ingratiating themselves to their victim.

“Con artists, that’s their job,” Childs said. “That’s their profession, and they practice it.”

With regard to financial schemes, Childs said potential investors should always check with the state to see if the financial adviser or his or her products are registered (see “On the Web”).

Some scams that are currently popular are fraudulent investments involving gold, energy and technology, or areas of the economy that are much in discussion.

“Con artists look at the headlines, too, and think of ways to scam people,” she said.

Childs also warned about identity theft and suggested a few tips to prevent it, such as keeping records organized, regularly reviewing bills and statements for any fraudulent

activity, shredding bills and statements when they are no longer needed, and never giving out Social Security or account numbers over the phone unless the recipient is known and trusted.

Danica Noble, a Seattle-based attorney with the Federal Trade Commission, discussed phishing scams, saying respectable financial institutions will never call you and ask for your Social Security or credit card account numbers.

A phishing scam is a form of social engineering that attempts to trick a victim into divulging important information, usually by posing as a

“It’s scary,” Hess said. “There are places you think you can trust people, but you can’t.”

Another attendee, Jan Gallagher, of Bend, agreed that for seniors with nest eggs they are trying to grow or protect, it can be difficult to know what to do. You can manage the money yourself and potentially lose out on the greater gains a professional adviser can achieve, but risk losing it all if the adviser is a con artist.

“There is no free lunch,” Gallagher added.

Oregon Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, kicked off the seminar with a few remarks, along with Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, both of whom discussed the importance of paying attention when it comes to financial matters, even sharing stories of how each of them had an older family member who had been taken by dubious financial schemes.

“The best defense is good education and personal responsibility,” Whisnant said.

Continued from B5 Nearly all of the recalls were initiated by the manufacturers and addressed a host of problems ranging from unexpected deployment to failures to deploy. Altogether, the recalls had the potential to affect more than 5 million vehicles.

Still, claims about air bags have generally not raised the kind of alarms associated with speed-control issues. Why not?

For one thing, the claims submitted to the carmakers can include up to five problems, and air bags are routinely cited by vehicle owners in crashes, along with others.

In fact, about two-thirds of the complaints that cited air bags also listed other possible problems, the data show.

Also, there are multiple possibilities for listing air bags in the claims, said Karen Aldana, a spokeswoman for NHTSA. Owners can mention front and side air bags and can fault the devices either for deploying or not deploying. In some crashes, moreover, the air bag correctly inflated but did not prevent deaths or injuries because the impact was so severe. In other crashes, the air bag failed to deploy properly, also generating a complaint.

Officials at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an industry group that conducts crash tests, said consumers did not have a good understanding of how air bags worked — another factor contributing to complaints about them.

“From the perspective of person sitting in a car, any kind of crash is frightening,” said David Zuby, a senior vice president for the institute’s Vehicle Research Center. “But they may not understand that air bags are not intended to go off in all crashes.”

Zuby pointed to the limits of the complaint data, which the transportation agency compiles as part of its early-warning reporting program. “Given

the coarse level of the data, you can’t tell for sure what happened,” he said. “It’s possible that if you had more information that you would find out that someone is complaining about something they shouldn’t be.” The earlywarning reports, which were held confidential until 2008, have been a subject of controversy in the industry throughout their existence.

Automakers have complained that the information is often unsubstantiated, while consumer advocates and lawmakers say the agency databases where the information is located can be cumbersome to search.

At hearings on the Toyota recalls last month, members of Congress questioned whether the information provided in the reports helped the public understand when problems might occur on their vehicles.

By law, a manufacturer must report to the safety administration any notice or claim against its products that it receives. Claims include complaints initiating a lawsuit, requests to collect damages in the absence of a lawsuit, and settlements. Notices are allegations of a problem that do not include a demand for a financial settlement.

The analysis by The New York Times of the early-warning records also confirmed what other data have shown about Toyota and speed-control issues: That the company had a disproportionately high number of possible problems with speed control. Of the more than 2,200 claims lodged against Toyota, 253 — about 11 percent — identified speed control as a factor, with 310 people injured or killed in the incidents cited.

Brian Lyons, the safety and quality communications manager for Toyota, described the claims filed with the NHTSA as “unverified allegations” and said that Toyota was “making an all-out effort to ensure our vehicles are safe.”

Phishing scammers can go to great lengths in their scams, including creating fraudulent Web sites that look much like the real ones they are duplicating, Noble said.

“Identity theft can happen to anyone,” Noble said. “We are all vulnerable.”

Noble had several of her own suggestions for combating fraud, such as annually reviewing your credit report to monitor for fraudulent activity.

Noble said everyone is entitled to one free credit report a year, by visiting the government Web site www.annualcredit report.com.

Noble also said that when people suspect fraud, they can ask the three main credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — to place a fraud alert on their credit reports to notify them when any changes are made to their credit.

Linda Hess, a Bend resident who attended the seminar, said she has not been a victim of fraud but knows people who have. She came to educate herself more, but she already professed to being extremely vigilant when it comes to using her

OSU-Cascades gets new furniture

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

When Oregon State University-Cascades Campus Vice President Becky Johnson first came to the Bend branch campus, she was surprised to see few students lounging or studying in Cascades Hall.

She asked a staff member where students spent their off hours, and was disappointed to find that some students sat in their cars between classes.

“It seemed like it wasn’t a very vibrant environment for students,” she said.

Believing that aesthetics of the building had much to do with the situation, Johnson launched a plan to improve students’ surroundings. And beginning April

27, she hopes to see more students sticking around the building after classes, settling in to new furniture.

College staff and students worked together to find new furnishings that would not only be comfortable, but also easier to move and more conducive to getting together as a community and learning in groups.

Verenice Alvarez, an 18-yearold business student, was one of the students who worked with staff to pick new furniture.

“Some of the chairs in the student center are falling apart because they’re old, or there’s something going on with them.

So we need something else to be more comfortable working there and doing all their home-

work,” Alvarez said.

The new furniture includes movable tables, desks, chairs and benches, as well as some stools and storage pieces.

They’ll replace the armchairs, low tables and computer desks that have been in the building since OSU-Cascades opened in 2001.

Alvarez was pleased with the furniture the group selected.

“Sometimes simple’s better,” she said. “I think they wanted to have everything fit the students better, and accommodate students so they’d benefit the most.”

Johnson used her experience at the OSU-Corvallis campus, where among other duties she oversaw the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the library.

The Center for Teaching and Learning has done research on social learning and the role a setting has on student learning.

The university used the research in determining what furniture to place in its library.

“We were happy with how many students came and used it, and how it really facilitated and helped them work together on projects,” she said. “We want them to stay around talking to each other. That’s the goal.”

Peter Saunders, director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at OSU, said learning spaces are changing, and campuses need furniture that allows students to move around and collaborate.

Northeast Bend sewer at its limit

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

An economic slowdown in Bend’s real estate market that has put a virtual halt to construction may have one small upside — less demand on an already overtaxed sewage system on the northeast side.

Bend officials say the system is already at, and sometimes over, capacity and that significant development in the area won’t be possible without a sewer line upgrade.

“There is actually a significant problem in this area of town, and it needs some major fixes,” said Bend City Manager

Eric King.

The biggest concern is the possibility of sewage overflow, said Tom Hickman, assistant director of Bend Public Works.

That is because the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality recently changed its rules to essentially a zero tolerance policy for sewage overflows, Hickman said.

“Basically now, if there is any spill at all of sewage, we have got a pretty extensive reporting requirement that we have to go through, and it becomes a hazardous waste issue,” Hickman said.

A FEW LOVELY SIGNS OF SPRING

Dean Guernsey / The Bulletin

Ann-Marie Cedros with Millsite Management finds herself under a mixture of snow flurries and sun breaks as she tends to a few of the nearly 8,000 daffodils that were planted in the Old Mill District last fall. The forecast calls for a chance of showers continuing into early next week. For the full forecast, see Weather, Page C6.

Judge talks budget Candidates introduce themselves at forum at forum in Bend

State’s court system may face more cuts

By Diane S.W. Lee The Bulletin

Oregon’s court system suffered a blow in the last legislative session when the state cut support for courts by about 15 percent, and on Thursday, the chief judge for the Oregon Court of Appeals told Central Oregonians that courts are preparing for further budget reductions.

The budget discussion was part of a public forum hosted by the City Club of Central Oregon at the Oxford Hotel in Bend on Thursday.

To deal with the last round of cuts, courts imposed new fees and fee hikes on filings and other court services, and with further budget cuts — as much as 10 to 15 percent — looking likely, a new statewide committee is taking another look at court efficiencies to determine where else money can be saved.

“There isn’t a judge in the state of Oregon who thinks that we ought to run the courts like the state parks system by charging fees,” Oregon Court of Appeals Chief Judge David Brewer told more than 100 people at the fo-

rum Thursday. “Courts should be general-funded so that everybody, regardless of means, has access to the court. But we’ve had to get by ... and often in ways that don’t seem logical, even to the courts, in order to keep the doors open five days a week.”

Brewer, 58, has been chief judge of the Court of Appeals since 2004.

During the event, he explained the court system, discussed the traits of a good trial judge and talked about the financial challenges facing the court system.

Brewer also introduced Deschutes County Circuit Court judicial candidates Wells Ashby and Thomas A. Hill, who are running in the May election for the seat currently held by retiring Circuit Court Judge Edward Perkins. The six-year term starts in January.

Ashby, 40, has worked as a prosecutor with the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office for five years. He previously worked as an attorney in Colorado and Idaho.

Hill, 51, worked in law enforcement for seven years in California, and has worked as a private practice attorney since moving to Bend in 1998. He served in Malheur County for a year as a deputy district attorney.

MADRAS — The final question at this week’s Jefferson County sheriff’s candidate forum was simple: Who are you?

Brad Halvorson, 58, a Jefferson County resident since 2005, took the microphone.

Born and raised in Hillsboro, he went to Mt. Hood Community College on a football scholarship.

He’s part Navajo Indian and the remainder is Norwegian.

He spent two years with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and four with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. An injury ended his three-year run at the City of Forest Grove Police Department. Later, he was hired by the Oregon Department of Corrections, where he spent 14 years on internal investigations for the department.

And now he wants to be the next Jefferson County sheriff.

His biggest concerns: drugs in the county and how Deer Ridge Correctional Institution is going to affect the county.

“Inmates are coming from

the state prison for arraignments, and it’s going to be an issue for the county,” Halvorson said.

Since Deer Ridge, the state prison in Madras, opened in 2007, the Jefferson County District Attorney said there has not been a single inmate arraigned in the Jefferson County Circuit Court. But Halvorson said the medium-security portion of the prison hasn’t opened, and more inmates are expected.

Halvorson said he’s worried about a growing trend of marijuana grows in the county, espe-

cially concentrated on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.

On top of it all, he said, he offers a change.

“I didn’t want the same-old, same-old law enforcement we had,” he said. “So, I ran realizing I could make a difference to this community.”

Halvorson currently works as a criminal investigator for a Bend-based law firm.

Next up was current Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins.

When former Sheriff Jack Jones stepped down in February, he placed Adkins, who was

undersheriff, in charge. Jones left his position after he became the focus of an investigation into charges of official misconduct by the Oregon Department of Justice .

Adkins has lived in Jefferson County for 40 years and worked for the Sheriff’s Office for 24 years.

Although it appeared most of the audience knew who Adkins was — as evidenced by the forum moderator calling him “Jimmy” — Adkins told them he grew up working for local farmers.

Visitors walk past the ghost of the shipwreck Sujameco at Horsfall Beach near North Bend. The pieces were uncovered from the sand after recent winter storms. The 324-foot ship ran aground at full speed in March 1929 in heavy fog while trying to find the mouth of Coos Bay. Salvagers later scrapped much of the steel, but shifting sands uncover at least some of the skeleton each winter.

Transcript: Officer lacked key facts The Associated Press PORTLAND — Transcripts from a grand jury proceeding that cleared a Portland police officer in the fatal shooting of a homeless man show vital details didn’t reach the officer or emergency dispatchers.

Officer Jason Walters testified that the police response would have been different on March 22 had he known the man reported to be harassing people at Hoyt Arboretum had threatened to kill two people and been seen with blood on his hands.

In response to a juror’s question, the officer said the call would have been given a higher priority and a minimum of two or three patrol cars would have responded quickly.

Walters said he would have waited until another officer arrived to approach the restroom outside the visitor center where the man was holed up, and he would have taken along the beanbag shotgun from his car since he would have had an officer to back him up.

The transcripts were released Wednesday.

The Multnomah County district attorney’s office says the grand jury heard from 28 witnesses over two days before deciding not to return any criminal charges against Walters in the death of Jack Dale Collins. Testimony showed Collins was advancing on Walters with a knife.

The death was the city’s second fatal officer-involved shooting this year. “If he had the information, he would’ve approached it differently, which is extremely unfortunate,� said David Widmark, the foreman on the seven-person panel.

Walters fired four shots at Collins after the man emerged from the restroom and walked toward him, refusing to drop a knife Collins gripped in his left hand. The medical examiner said Collins bled to death after a bullet entered his hip and struck a major artery. The medical examiner is awaiting toxicology results.

Jurors asked Walters and wit-

nesses what information was provided before the officer approached the restroom.

Mathew Sinclair, the arboretum’s executive director, told jurors that the second woman to come to the visitors center that afternoon, reporting a strange man harassing her and her son, described that she thought the man was drunk or high, and that he had threatened to kill her and her son. “And she reported to us that — her son had thought that the man had blood on his hands and/ or shirt,� Sinclair said.

A juror asked if that information was relayed to Walters.

Sinclair replied that his colleague, Dan Moeller, the arboretum’s natural area supervisor, had done so.

However, Moeller, who had stepped back into the visitors center to call 911 after learning the suspect was in the center’s parking lot, said he hadn’t heard that the transient had threatened to kill the woman when he dialed the emergency line.

The dispatch message on Walters’ mobile computer read: “Drunk transient harassing, yelling at passers-by. One female said he threatened them, but complainant did not have specifics. Not physically violent, last seen in parking lot,� followed by a physical description.

The next entry, 12 seconds later, read: “Advised to call back if becomes violent.�

Walters met both Sinclair and Moeller outside the visitors center. Walters said he learned that the man had been in the restroom about 15 minutes. He said he never heard about threats to kill anyone or the reported blood.

Walters said he was hoping Collins would drop the knife after being ordered to do so once he emerged from the restroom.

He said he didn’t think he could have handled the encounter any differently.

Walters also said the shooting marked the first time he ever fired a gun on duty in his 13-year career.

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

Kelly Clark, attorney for the Portland man who filed a sex abuse lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America, gives his closing statements Thursday in the Multnomah County Courthouse in Portland.

Portland Boy Scouts abuse case to jury

By William McCall The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A $29 million sex abuse lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America is in the hands of a jury after a lawyer for the victim closed the case by arguing the Scouts failed to act when they knew they had a serious problem.

In closing arguments, Kelly Clark said the organization had been keeping a list of Scout leaders and volunteers suspected of abuse since the 1920s but never came up with any system to improve screening, reporting or prevention.

Clark compared it to food poisoning, arguing that if Scouts were getting sick on a regular basis, something would have been done to prevent it.

But a lawyer for the Scouts, Chuck Smith, told the jury the organization relied on local Scout leaders and volunteers to take action because they were supervising the boys — not the national organization.

Smith said the standard of care expected for dealing with abuse has changed over the years but the Scouts were no different than other organizations at the time.

He also said the Scouts rely heavily on parents “as the first line of defense” against abuse.

Clark, however, said parents were typically not informed about suspected abuse that the Scouts tried to keep private.

He referred to six boxes of files stacked in the courtroom that became known during the three-week trial as the “perversion files” because they document suspected abuse by Scout leaders and volunteers.

But he said the existence of those files was mostly unknown to local Scout leaders or parents.

Clark invited jurors to examine the files during their deliberations, telling them he believes they will be the first jury in the country to look through the documents and see for themselves the extent of the sex abuse problem in the Boy Scouts.

The files requested for the trial cover 1965 through mid-1984, a period that includes the abuse of the Portland man who filed the lawsuit.

But Clark told the jury the Scouts have files stretching back over nearly a century, and that alone should have told them they had a serious problem that needed to be addressed more effectively.

The jury was expected to begin deliberations today after being excused Thursday following closing arguments.

Student making tarps of plastic bags for Haiti

By Mark Baker The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — If you’re a plastic bag, then Ruby Sprengle wants you, even though she loathes you.

And once she finds your crinkly little self, she’s going to flatten you like a pancake with a red-hot iron.

“I hate plastic bags,” says Sprengle, a University of Oregon material product studies major in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. “Animals get caught in them, and they’re just ugly.”

But Sprengle, 22, has a better idea. Make tarps out of them for the homeless in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

“They don’t have enough tents for everybody,” says Sprengle, standing over one of her creations in the Craft Center at the UO’s Erb Memorial Union. “So people are making tents out of branches and sheets and plastic bags. They don’t have anything.

Their homes were completely destroyed.”

The 7.0 earthquake that hit the Caribbean island nation on Jan. 12 killed an estimated 200,000 to 250,000. One day in February, Sprengle was walking to class and listening to a program on National Public Radio about how the American Red Cross has given out thousands of tarps to homeless Haitians. But with the rainy season fast approaching (May is Haiti’s rainiest month), more are desperately needed.

“So I thought of this project immediately,” Sprengle says.

This project was the one Sprengle did in an “Urban Survival Workshop” last June in Portland with UO product design husband-and-wife team John and Wonhee Arndt. Students in the one-week workshop were asked to make portable shelters out of discarded materials. Sprengle had already read about the pro-

The idea to make tarps started as a class project and has turned into an effort to provide them to those in need of temporary shelter. cess of ironing plastic bags together in a book called “Making It: Manufacturing Techniques for Product Design.”

“It was a great project,” says John Arndt, a UO assistant professor of product design. “We were really impressed with what Ruby did.”

What Sprengle did in the workshop was make a 6-foot by 6-foot “utility quilt” out of plastic bags. It even has a map of downtown Portland on the back where homeless people can find food, medical supplies, clothes and other necessities.

But after Sprengle heard the NPR program, she decided to try and make larger pieces — 10foot by 12-foot. It takes about 400 plastic bags to make a tarp.

Too little skin in the tax game

A

mong the more obvious and widely accepted explanations for soaring medical spending has to do with skin. Too many health care consumers, as they say, have too little of the stuff “in the game.”

Were Americans forced to pay more up front for the services they use, they might not rush to the doctor’s office for every little ache and pain.

Neither would they prod reluctant physicians so forcefully to order up MRIs and other expensive tests. Providing expensive services too cheaply simply encourages irresponsible behavior, which is why policymakers have targeted “Cadillac” health plans for taxation.

If only the skin problem were limited to health care.

With April 15 approaching, taxpayers should consider the number 47. That represents the percentage of filers who will pay no federal income tax for 2009 or — even better for them — pay a “negative” federal income tax. That means they’ll actually land an income tax profit.

This estimate comes from the Tax Policy Center, which is a partnership between the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. The affected population, which includes 54 percent of filers with children, will still pay various other federal taxes. But for them, the April 15 filing deadline holds little fear. And that’s a problem.

At the very least, exempting so many people from the responsibility to fund important discretionary programs encourages apathy. If Congress isn’t spending their money, why should they pay attention? For a nation that claims to value civic involvement, this is deeply unhealthy.

As with medical care, meanwhile, giving nearly half of filers a pass on the income tax encourages them to ignore the costs of the services they use. This, in turn, encourages unreal-

istic expectations for future costs and service levels. Elected officials who are anxious to please and reluctant to tax keep right on spending on the strength of borrowed money.

The logical extension of this trend, meanwhile, can be poisonous. As the income tax becomes something that fewer and fewer people pay, it will become easier and easier to target a tiny minority of people when tax hikes can no longer be avoided. Anyone who thinks that’s healthy should visit Oregon, where supporters of Measures 66 and 67 won, in part, by enthusiastically demonizing the wealthy. They’d like nothing better than to move on and pretend that the recent campaign created no lasting civic damage. But it has. Even Bill Bradbury, who campaigned for the two measures, can’t seem to run away from them fast enough now that he’s campaigning for governor.

The Tax Policy Center attributes the high rate of income tax immunity partly to the 2009 stimulus bill, which allowed President Obama to install some of the refundable tax credits he’d promised during his presidential campaign. Refundable credits, as the center notes, are “the only way to make credits available to people who pay little or no tax.” The people who benefit are undoubtedly grateful. However, by chipping away at the number of Americans who have skin in the income tax game, both Congress and the president have eroded the fairness and the health of the nation’s tax system.

Reversing the trend won’t be easy, but it’s necessary.

Good news for vets F

or the estimated 19,000-plus veterans living in Central Oregon, the prospect of dramatically expanded medical services here at home is well worth the wait. It will mean the end of a lengthy drive to the Portland area for most medical services.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced earlier this week that it will at least double its Bend clinic after the current lease expires at the end of the year. The additional space will make a dramatic difference in what services the clinic offers, a VA spokesman said. In addition to primary care, specialized services such as ophthalmology and mental health also are likely to be available.

Vets still will have to travel to Portland to the VA hospital for such things as surgery and cancer treatment, but long days in a van just to see a doctor will become a thing of the past for many.

The clinic certainly will not lack for potential patients and may well see far more than the roughly 50 who make the trip to Portland each week.

According to the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 15,663 veterans live in Deschutes County alone. An estimated 1,963 live in Crook County, while Jefferson County is home to about 1,751 veterans. Not all rely on VA clinics for their health care, but enough do to warrant the planned expansion.

Central Oregon’s veterans have been blessed with a variety of volunteer efforts that aim to make their lives better, and the daily treks to Portland are high on that list. The expanded clinic won’t end those efforts, though they’re likely to change.

The expanded clinic, meanwhile, will make life simpler for all those in the region who served in their country’s military branches.

My Nickel’s Worth Vote them out Earmarks! Earmarks are only 1 percent of our country’s budget, but, for years, this 1 percent has been used by our elected representatives to get funds for their respective states and to get re-elected!

Because of the present, dire fiscal condition of our country and the fact that a motion to limit earmarks recently failed, let’s take one small, simplistic step: Any member of the House or Senate who favors earmarks, vote them out!

Hopefully this would result in more than a 1 percent budget reduction. It would also serve as a wake-up call for our Congress to become fiscally responsible right now.

No matter if they are Democrats or Republicans, vote them out! Make room for someone who strongly supports fiscal discipline. This country needs them!

Unbalanced story In regard to your March 19 article “Chimps Inc. founder now says attacks have taken place,” it’s obvious that the real reporting done at The Bulletin must be the result of 100 chimpanzees banging away at typewriters.

This is a shoddily researched article that attempts to play on the recent media hype of other chimp attacks.

Chimps Inc. is a professionally run wildlife sanctuary dedicated to providing refuge for chimpanzees that have been captured and bred to supply the demands of the commercial entertainment

industry, biomedical research and the pet trade. Inevitably, these apes become victims of isolation, abuse and neglect, which can cause behavioral problems.

Working with these animals at Chimps Inc. is inherently dangerous. The employees and volunteers go through rigorous safety training and adhere to strict protocols to minimize the chance of injury, yet accidents still do happen, and it is because of human error.

Never mentioned is Chimps Inc.’s long history of meeting or greatly exceeding national standards of health and safety, nor president and founder Lesley Day’s many years of work with international and national organizations to create more chimpanzee sanctuaries.

This unbalanced story defames the reputation of a wonderfully passionate local businesswoman and all the countless thousands of volunteer hours associated with Chimps Inc. Why not a follow-up story that is a little bit more fair and balanced, that highlights what good things these people are doing in our community?

Dwight Pargee Bend

the average American earns, not to mention what some of his co-workers (actual teachers) make. Luckily, Coach Kent added the all-too-common buyout clause ($1.15 million) just in case an inability to perform a job (back-to-back losing seasons) led to his firing.

In the same edition of the paper, the front page highlighted articles on Medicare, K-12 funding, a low-income housing crisis on a reservation and a story on military war marketing. Ironically, only your piece about Kent included the word “tragedy.”

Referring to a millionaire losing his job because of poor job performance as a tragedy is ironic at best. This is especially insulting considering the ongoing news cycle of bailouts and bonuses to the Wall Street executives responsible for running our financial institutions into the ground.

Your poor choice in words illustrating The Bulletin’s skewed view of our country is, perhaps, the true tragedy.

No tragedy

The rhetoric was strong, intrinsically violent in its nature. It was offered by their leaders; governmental, political, theological and philosophical all. It was spoken against Americans. It was spoken against democracy. It was geared toward a revolution — of sorts. It was fed by fear. It was fed by ignorance.

Inevitably violence ensued.

How parents can turn their kids into skilled readers I

t’s easy, no doubt, to look to schools and teachers when whole groups of kids start to fall behind in learning basic skills. After all, they’re the experts, the folks we pay to get the job done. That is what seems to be happening now as students both nationwide and here in Oregon fall behind in mastering the reading skills they’ll need to be productive adults.

Teachers and techniques no doubt bear some of the responsibility for the problem. The teachers are trained, after all, while most parents are not, and the techniques they use presumably have been tested to assure they do what they’re supposed to do. Both teachers and their students know that time in the classroom is time to learn, and if learning isn’t going on, something must be wrong.

It’s not as simple as that, however.

Reading is a particularly complex skill, and it takes more than classroom time to master. Like math, it takes practice to become a good reader, say reading specialists, the men and women who do their

best to help struggling youngsters learn to read.

One key element, says Patti Knollman, a retired reading specialist in Bend, is something called “automaticity.” As I understand it, that means being able to read words without having to think about them, automatically. It’s a critical skill, because — again, as a layman understands it — if you must think about each word as you read it, you’ll never be able to actually comprehend what you’re reading — and without comprehension, reading is pretty meaningless.

Getting to automaticity is a far more difficult task these days than it was when I was a kid. Though I didn’t grow up before television, it was pretty new when I was learning to read, and no one did what so many families do today; turn the thing on early in the morning and shut it off at bedtime. Television was special, not part of the general background noise.

TV is only part of what’s changed. In addition to the wonders of cable, kids have computers and computer games;

JANET STEVENS they have Wii and Xbox and all the rest.

They can be entertained electronically around the clock, if they and their parents so choose. Moreover, many, many more kids today come home to empty houses because both parents work, so there’s far less monitoring of such things than in the “Leave It to Beaver” era I grew up in.

Knollman says there’s a rule of thumb about balancing electronic media with the printed word: Every minute spent with the television, the iPod or the computer should be matched by a minute with a book. I wonder how many families actually reach that goal. Not many, I suspect.

There are things even parents with

limited time can do to improve the odds their kids will grow up to be good readers, Knollman says. One important thing is to read at home. Kids who watch Dad pick up the paper at the breakfast table each morning or who see Mom curled up with a book after dinner learn that the adults they love and respect most think reading is a worthwhile thing.

Well before they learn to read, young kids need conversation with adults who will let them use their answers to develop their language skills, Knollman says.

And they need parents and others who will read to them and tell them stories.

Parents who are uncertain of their own skills can learn a lot by attending a story time at the local library, she says.

In addition, parents and kids should routinely read together, Knollman says, even if only for a few minutes at a time. If you’re a math fiend, read your child story problems, she suggests, then help him or her work them out. Pick out books you like together. Read fantasy or biography or whatever you both enjoy — and by all

means, remember that “enjoy” is the key word in this sentence. Reading is best learned when it’s fun.

Reading aloud can become a lifelong habit, too, as it has at our house. We read the Harry Potter books to each other over the course of several vacations, and we continue to choose books to read together today — and my kids are 23 and 25. We all still love it.

Finally, Knollman says, don’t give up, even on a much older child with reading problems. With help and with practice, most kids can get it sooner or later, and they need to know that.

I do believe we should demand that schools use every means available to teach our kids to read, don’t get me wrong. But unless families actively engage in helping the process along, I’m not sure the experts will ever be able to live up to our expectations.

Sewer Continued from C1 One manhole on Bend’s north side has Hickman and his colleagues concerned. It sits off the road near the U.S. Highway 97 and U.S. Highway 20 interchange, and has overflowed about four times in the last five years during heavy rainfall or snow melt, Hickman said.

If the same thing happens in the future, the city could be subject to fines, put on watch or ordered to take “corrective action,” Hickman said.

For an immediate and shortterm solution, that could mean adding storage basins for waste water or putting in additional piping to channel the waste to lines that can handle the capacity.

In the more distant future, the city plans a major upgrade to its north-end sewage lines at an estimated cost of $25 million, but that project won’t begin until at least 2015, Hickman said. The city has yet to identify a funding source for the project, and the question of where, or if, the city will expand its urban growth boundary to the north makes it tough to site the project, King said.

Crews are now focusing their efforts on the south side of the city, on a $19 million project to increase sewage capacity there.

Many residents on the southeast side are not connected to city sewer lines so putting in a major pipe, or interceptor, is considered a priority.

That leaves residents on the northeast side to rely on a sewage system pieced together during a growth spurt in the mid-2000s in a manner that didn’t consider maximum overall efficiency, King said.

Punk rock manager dead at 64

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Malcolm McLaren, an impresario, recording artist and fashion designer who as manager of the Sex Pistols played a decisive role in creating the British punk movement, died Thursday in Switzerland. He was 64.

The cause was mesothelioma, a cancer of the linings around organs, said Young Kim, his companion of many Malcolm years. She McLaren said he had been under treatment at a Swiss hospital. He lived in Paris and New York.

McLaren, a former art student, found an outlet for his ideas about fashion, music and social provocation in the inchoate rock ’n’ roll scene of London in the early 1970s.

Operating from the clothing boutique Sex, which he and the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood ran, he brought together four obscure musicians, called them the Sex Pistols and provided them with an attitude suited to Britain in decline: nihilistic rage, expressed at high volume in songs like “Anarchy in the U.K.” and the vitriolic “God Save the Queen.”

Until their breakup in January 1978, the Sex Pistols epitomized the look, the sound and the attitude of British punk. All three came, in large measure, from McLaren’s restless brain.

equate lines to serve the buildings and subdivisions they constructed. But when all the different lines were attached to the system, some of the pipes they fed into weren’t adequate to handle the increased flow caused by multiple pipes coming in.

“I don’t think it was intentional. I think what happened was that nobody understood how this system would work dynamically,” King said. “So a small pipe might serve a specific subdivision, but they didn’t look at how that would affect the system overall.”

In addition to some pipes being overloaded, peak flows from those pipes can cause problems with pumps that move the waste to Bend’s water treatment plant. In times of high usage, the increase in waste can overload the capacity of the pumps, causing them to shut down, King said.

So the dearth of building on the northeast side, as well as a number of houses in that area sitting empty, has worked to the city’s advantage.

But if that changes, and an interest in new development arises, the city will have to find a way to handle the additional sewage — like storage basins or additional lines, Hickman said.

“We would evaluate that on a case-by-case basis,” Hickman said. “Where there are lines that still have some capacity, we have options to either divert or move flow toward those. The other option is basically for a landowner or developer to look at (putting in) larger storage bins on their property to hold the flow until there is capacity within a 24-hour period.”

Enola Gay airman who armed atomic bomb dies, 87

By Richard Goldstein New York Times News Service

Morris Jeppson, an Army Air Forces electronics specialist who helped arm the atomic bomb aboard the Enola Gay as it flew to Hiroshima, died March 30 at a hospital in Las Vegas. Jeppson, who was 87 and lived in Las Vegas, was the next-to-last sur-

vivor of the 12 men who carried out history’s first atomic strike.

His death was announced by his wife, Molly.

When the Enola Gay lifted off from the island of Tinian in the South Pacific in the early hours of Aug. 6, 1945, Lt. Jeppson was making his first and only combat flight.

As the assistant to Capt. William Parsons of the Navy, the officer in overall control of the uranium bomb known as Little Boy, Jeppson checked its circuits, timing devices and radar components.

The bomb was exploded at 8:15 in the morning, leaving tens of thousands dead or dying.

FRONTS

Sheriff Continued from C1 He went into the Army, and later worked for Bright Wood Corp., in Madras. His father was an Oregon State Police trooper for 31 years and in 1986 Adkins also went into law enforcement.

Adkins has had several roles in the Sheriff’s Office. He’s been on marine patrol, worked in corrections and investigated child abuse as a detective.

“I’m the person that’s going to be there in the good times and the bad,” Adkins said. “I’m going to be the person, and have been numerous times, that has to deliver bad messages ... I’ve delivered death messages. I’ve cried with you. I care about this community and the people I grew up with. I’m asking you to keep me as your sheriff, and we’ll go on in the future.”

Furniture Continued from C1 “There’s enough research out there that shows that the environment has an impact on students’ learning,” he said. “The furniture is one piece of a very important puzzle of change. We can’t really bring the change about unless we change the learning environment, and that means furniture and the physical space.”

Johnson wanted movable furniture.

“That’s really important, because we know student groups come in all different shapes and sizes,” she said. “And they need to feel comfortable about picking up a table and chairs, and moving them around.”

Forum Continued from C1 The candidate elected to fill Perkins’ seat will face financial challenges in the court system, and with an expected increase in caseloads, judges will be doing more with less, Brewer said.

During the forum, candidates proposed ideas to make the court more efficient through electronic filings, combining court systems, creating a master calendar and identifying cases for early resolution.

Adkins said since he’s taken over, the morale of the office has improved, and people are energized.

He’s working with a newly created jail committee to look at every line item on the jail’s budget and streamline operations.

One of his main goals as sheriff would be to create permanent taxing districts that would support the office with stable funding, such as what exists in Deschutes County. In 2006, Deschutes County residents voted to have two separate, permanent taxing districts so the office wouldn’t be funded with short-term tax levies.

The third candidate for sheriff is Paul Hames, who has lived in Madras for the past two years. Hames missed the forum and is currently in Japan visiting his son, who is with the Air Force and about to be deployed to Afghanistan for his second

tour in the country. His son has completed two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

In earlier interviews, Hames said community members asked him to run for sheriff after learning of his extensive law enforcement background.

Hames worked as a village marshal, or police chief, in Wisconsin before he became a sergeant correctional officer at Deer Ridge. He believes he has the formal education and experience to enhance the Sheriff’s Office.

If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary, he becomes sheriff. If no candidate receives a clear majority, the race continues to the November election.

The job pays $89,470 a year.

Another important consideration for Johnson was tables.

“We have chairs, but students need a place to spread materials, and write and use their laptops,” she said.

Jeff Schiedler, 22, is a math student at OSU-Cascades. On Thursday, he sat in an overstuffed chair in the Cascades Hall commons, working on math problems with his book in his lap.

“Usually, when we have math projects we work together, and there’s not a lot of places to work together,” Schiedler said.

He’d like to have more tables and writing surfaces in the commons.

“That would be helpful,” he said.

And Johnson hopes the surroundings will entice new stu-

dents and foster learning.

That’s all well and good, but Cody Montgomery, 27, has another idea.

“A couple couches would be nice,” he said, laughing.

His natural resources classmate, Matt Puntney, 30, agreed.

“The way our schedule works is if you don’t have a lot of classes, you have long breaks,” he said.

Somewhere to stretch out, he said, would come in handy.

There won’t be sofas, but the furniture, which cost about $70,000, will be delivered and set up at the end of the month. Much of the old furniture will go to Central Oregon Community College.

“The bottom line is if we don’t find solutions, including technology and e-court, which is the Chief Justice’s initiative to allow a paperless court to come into Oregon in the next few years, then we’re going to be left in the dust trying to administer justice with an archaic infrastructure,” Brewer said.

Brewer is part of the committee looking at court efficiencies, and taking best practices from various courts and incorporating them statewide.

The state is also considering paperless filing to save money,

Brewer said.

“No whiners allowed,” Brewer said. “We’re going to make it work. We’re going to recognize that with challenges come opportunity, and that everybody else out there is suffering, too.

And in many cases, even suffering a lot more. You’re not going to hear any whining from us. And I don’t believe you’re going to hear any whining from whoever gets elected here, too.”

Bend set to host 16-team girls tennis tourney

Tiger’s good, but Couples leads early

A 16-team field makes up the 2010 Bend Girls Tennis Invitational, a two-day high school tournament that gets under way today at four area courts.

The tournament, which pits entire teams against one another in a bracket format, starts this morning with firstround matchups. At 8:30 a.m., Summit faces Churchill of Eugene at Juniper Park, Bend meets Wilsonville at Bend High, Mountain View plays Sherwood at Mountain View High, and Madras takes on Hermiston at Summit High School.

Other first-round matches start at 11 a.m., including Redmond vs. McMinnville at Bend High, and Crook County vs. Crescent Valley of Corvallis at Mountain View.

Also at 11 a.m., Corvallis faces Klamath Union at Juniper Park, and Central Catholic of Portland meets Sprague of Salem at Summit High.

Quarterfinal play on both the championship and consolation sides of the bracket will take place this afternoon, when matches are scheduled to start at 1:30 and 4 p.m. at all four tournament sites.

Semifinal, third-place and championship matches are all scheduled for Saturday.

The championship final is set for 4 p.m. at Juniper Park.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods played like the last five months never happened.

Even more surprising, he felt that way, too.

No longer the same person after he was caught cheating on his wife, Woods looked every bit the same golfer Thursday when he opened with a 4-under 68 — his best first round ever at Augusta National — that left him only two shots behind 50year-old Fred Couples on an extraordinary opening day at the Masters.

It just didn’t seem that way to Woods.

On TV • Second round, today, 1 p.m., ESPN

Standing on the first tee, looking down a fairway lined with thousands of spectators curious to see how he would respond to a sex scandal that shocked the world, Woods didn’t flinch.

Coach inks new deal with Butler INDIANAPOLIS — Brad Stevens is content to keep coaching the Butler way.

The 33-year-old coach, who came within a buzzerbeating shot of winning the NCAA men’s basketball championship, signed a 12-year deal Thursday that extends through the 2021-22 season.

Team spokesman Jim McGrath declined to say how much the deal was worth, though Stevens had a total compensation package of $750,000 last season. Athletic director Barry Collier acknowledged Tuesday that Stevens was in line for a pay raise.

The Bulldogs got the man they wanted to stay.

“Brad has demonstrated that he’s the right fit for Butler University,” Collier said in a statement. “Our program has grown under his leadership, and we’re excited about our future under his direction.”

The move should end, at least temporarily, speculation that Stevens would jump to a BCS-conference school.

Jobs at Oregon, of the Pac10, and two ACC schools, Clemson and Wake Forest, are open.

Stevens is 89-15 in three seasons with the Bulldogs.

Mountain View third baseman Zach Johnson gathers a throw as Bend’s Steven Barrett dives safely to the base for one of his two triples Thursday at Bend High. Bend won the Intermountain Conference game, 21-15.

Bears outslug Cougs Bend defeats Mountain View 21-15 in IMC play of them for extra bases — and 36 runs. In a seesaw Intermountain Conference baseball slugfest, the host Lava Bears prevailed by a score of 21-15.

“It was back and forth, and high scoring both ways,” said Bend coach Dan Weber.

Bulletin staff report A bitter-cold afternoon made for lessthan-ideal hitting conditions Thursday.

But neither Bend High nor Mountain View paid the weather any mind.

The two teams combined for 32 hits — 12

“But whether the final score is 21-15 or 7-2, a win is a win. And we’ll take it.”

For the Lava Bears (3-1 IMC, 4-5 overall), Steven Barrett was the winning pitcher and helped his own cause with a big day at the plate. The Bend senior was four for four, with two triples, four runs scored and five runs batted in.

As workers’ compensation lawyers go, Ron Mix and Mel Owens understand their clients’ problems better than most.

While Mix was a Hall of Fame football lineman with the San Diego Chargers in the 1960s, he played the same brutal game that has left his contemporaries experiencing early-onset dementia at a rate several times that of the national population. Owens, a starting linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1980s, belonged to an era whose players can only wonder if their fate will be similar.

Mix and Owens have leveraged their connections to represent about 1,000 retired players in the workers’ compensation system of California, the only jurisdiction that allows long-retired professional athletes to pursue workers’ compensation for cumulative injuries, even if they played only one game in the state in their careers. Their clients have received awards that probably total more than $100 million.

What their clients seldom receive, however, is the lifetime medical care and security for which workers’ compensation is primarily designed. More than 90 percent of the players represented by Mix and Owens forgo the extremely likely prospect of lifetime medical care for their football injuries by taking lump-sum settlements.

There’s a lot more to Beacon Rock State Park than the 848-foot-tall pinnacle of basalt after which it is named.

Yes, that towering rock is a landmark in the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side, some 30 miles east of Wash.

ADVENTURE Vancouver, But 5,100-acre Beacon Rock SPORTS State Park also includes several stunning waterfalls and a couple of ridges that are more than 2,300 feet high, all served by a network of hiking trails.

• Mote gets a victory: Culver’s Bobby Mote won the first round of bareback competition Thursday night at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho. The threetime and reigning world champion won with an 86-point ride on Show Boat, worth a payout of $4,632.

Baseball • Aaron says batters home run-obsessed: Hank Aaron watches games these days and is perplexed as batter after batter tries to jack pitches out of the ballpark, obsessed with the long ball that made Hammerin’ Hank famous.

“I don’t think they understand the role of what they need to be doing,” Aaron said Thursday during a visit to The Associated Press. “I’m not saying all of them, but I think some players need to understand that they’re never going to hit 50 home runs or 45 home runs (a year). They’ve got to learn how to hit the ball to the opposite field and do the little things to help their ballclub wins championships.”

• Canseco to testify in May: Jose Canseco’s testimony before the grand jury investigating Roger Clemens has been postponed until May 5. Canseco was originally scheduled to testify Thursday. His lawyer, Dennis Holahan, says neither he nor Canseco know why the date was changed. Prosecutors have asked the federal grand jury in Washington to decide whether to indict Clemens for lying under oath to Congress in 2008 when the seven-time Cy Young Award winner denied using steroids.

• Mariners add pitcher: The Seattle Mariners brought up right-hander Jesus Colome on Thursday to give a boost to their already taxed bullpen. Relievers worked 9 1⁄3 innings through the first three games of the year. Seattle selected Colome’s contract from Triple-A Tacoma and designated for assignment outfielder Ryan Langerhans, who pinch hit in Wednesday night’s 6-5 loss to Oakland. The 32-year-old Colome was among the last players left off the opening day roster after a strong spring.

Basketball • UConn’s Charles taken No. 1 in WNBA draft: It’s been an unforgettable 48 hours for Tina Charles. Less than two days after helping UConn win its second straight national championship, she was selected first by the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA draft on Thursday.

Charles averaged more than 18 points and nine rebounds while leading UConn to an NCAA Division I-record 78 straight victories over the past two seasons.

Hockey • Boston College, Wisconsin to meet for title: Boston College moved within a win of its second NCAA hockey title in three seasons.

Cam Atkinson scored the first of three goals in a 1:35 stretch midway through the third period, helping Boston College pull away from Miami of Ohio for a 7-1 win Thursday night in Detroit in the Frozen Four. Wisconsin beat Rochester Institute of Technology 8-1 in the other semifinal.

Horse racing • Zenyatta tries to extend perfection: After throwing $5 million at racing’s two female superstars to run in the Apple Blossom Invitational, Oaklawn Park’s president got half of what he and the horse racing world wanted to see.

Zenyatta is here. She’s the early 3-5 favorite for today’s 1 1⁄8-mile race, now worth $500,000 instead of $5 million if both horses had run. Just four challengers — none of whom has won a prestigious Grade 1 race — are taking her on as Zenyatta tries to win her 16th in a row. Rachel Alexandra, the other horse track president Charles Cella tried to lure, isn’t here

Cycling • Bend’s Horner near lead: Spain’s Samuel Sanchez won the mountainous fourth stage of the Tour of Basque Country in Spain on Thursday, while Alejandro Valverde reclaimed the overall lead. Sanchez, the Olympic road race champion, won the 99-mile stage in 4 hours, 5 minutes, 16 seconds. Rabobank’s Robert Gesink and Team RadioShack’s Christopher Horner, of Bend, crossed the line alongside Valverde and trail the leader by two seconds in the overall standings.

• Sanchez holds top spot: Samuel Dumoulin of France led a sprint finish to win the fourth stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe in northwest France, and top-ranked Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez retained the overall lead on Thursday.

The final stage today is a 106-mile trek.

Crosby takes league lead in goals, helps Pens past Islanders The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby made certain the last regular-season game in the NHL’s oldest arena would be remembered for more than a pregame celebration and a whole lot of nostalgic flashbacks.

Crosby took the NHL lead with his 49th goal — losing his 50th after the game — and became the third-youngest player in NHL history to reach the 500-point mark, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 7-3 rout of the New York Islanders on Thursday in the final regular-season game in Mellon Arena.

This wasn’t the final Penguins game there — the playoffs await the Stanley Cup champions — but it was one of the last in a building constructed six years before Pittsburgh was awarded an NHL expansion franchise.

Crosby finished with four points, also assisting on a goal by Alex Goligoski and two by Bill Guerin, giving him 104 points for the season and 501 in his five-

NHL ROUNDUP season career. The only players younger than Crosby (22 years, 244 days) to hit the 500-point mark faster were Wayne Gretzky (21 years, 52 days) and former Penguins star Mario Lemieux (22 years, 172 days).

“It’s one of those numbers,” Crosby said. “It’s a nice accomplishment. You don’t think about those things a lot.”

Crosby appeared to reach the 50-goal mark on a slap shot from the right point during a Penguins power play at 14:34 of the second. However, the goal was credited instead to Guerin following a lengthy post-game video review, meaning Crosby must try for his 50th this weekend.

Crosby did get his 500th career point on the play, an assist.

AL ROUNDUP Athletics 6, Mariners 2 OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics don’t look like last season’s AL West bottom-feeder anymore.

They have a little winning streak already, a rarity for this club a year ago. The A’s delivered strong pitching, aggressive baserunning and timely hitting in their latest impressive victory. Brett Anderson pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning of a strong season debut, Daric Barton drove in a career-high four runs and the A’s beat Seattle to take three of the first four in the AL West rivalry. So much for the fast start Seattle was looking for out of the gate in a year the Mariners hope to contend for their first division crown since 2001.

“Really, they did exactly what we came out to try to do,” Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said. “They rebounded after that first loss and played very effective baseball.” Seattle starter Doug Fister (0-1), on the opening day roster for the first time after making 11 appearances last season, gave up two runs and six hits in four innings, struck out two and walked three.

Masters

David J. Phillip / The Associated Press

Tiger Woods chips to the second green during the first round of the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., Thursday. Woods shot a 68.

Football Continued from D1 A paradox has developed.

Many retired players consider Owens and Mix heroes among their own for essentially finding cash under a mattress; others see an assembly-line process in which players do not fully understand the implications of the settlements, particularly given the mounting knowledge and remaining unknowns regarding the long-term effects of football brain trauma.

“We’re all creatures of the immediate, and, if someone has an immediate need, they figure they’ll just have to take their chances,” said Mix, who is based in San Diego. Owens said about 75 percent of his clients report some sort of work-related brain injury when they file, and still they surrender future medical care.

“What I think is wise versus what he thinks is wise is irrelevant,” said Owens, a partner in the firm Namanny, Byrne & Owens in Laguna Hills, Calif.

“Because he thinks he’s making a good decision. Might be.”

The California workers’ compensation system emerged from the shadows on Monday when Eleanor Perfetto, the wife of Ralph Wenzel, a 67-year-old former player with early-onset dementia, filed a claim that is a test case in considering National Football League teams’ liability for the cognitive decline experienced by retired players.

Until this week, claims filed by former players had focused only on orthopedic injuries. Experts in workers’ compensation said the Wenzel claim could allow dozens of retirees with dementia to win coverage from the teams and their insurance companies for the high cost of assisted-living facilities and related medical care.

When players retire as relatively young men, they do not receive long-term medical coverage from the NFL. Thus, given the staggering medical costs that await them and their wellchronicled struggles to receive assistance from the NFL’s disability plan, California’s unique access to lifetime medical care for their many on-field injuries would appear to be a godsend.

But a vast majority of them — regardless of lawyer — have accepted an extra $60,000 to $100,000 to settle their claim to medical coverage. Not only did they give up a safety net for shoulder surgeries and hip replacements that many will need at some point, but they also in-

demnified the insurance companies against any benefit Perfetto’s claim may open for cognitive care for those who did not settle.

One of the players who chose to settle was Jeff Smith, a lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 1997 to 2001. At 36, knowing he had a broken bone in his back, degenerative conditions in his hips, shoulders and ankles, and a troublesome shortterm memory, Smith took an easy payment of $203,500 in September.

“What I settled for is probably minuscule compared to the medical bills I’ll have the rest of my life — I just settled because I thought it was a fair number,” Smith said by telephone from his home in Knoxville, Tenn.

He added: “It probably was a mistake that I made. I’m not a lawyer.”

Interviews with dozens of football retirees — young and old, wealthy and struggling — indicate that Smith is by no means alone in not fully understanding the workers’ compensation process. A client of Owens’ firm, Smith said he was under the impression that he “did not have the option for lifetime medical.”

He added: “It was not a clear-set option. It was a gamble to try to get it.”

Smith also feared that a jury would resent a professional athlete who made more than $1 million playing football pursuing a workers’ compensation claim.

But workers’ compensation trials are before an administrative judge, not a jury. And as long as no procedural issue arises during trial — which is extremely rare once an insurance company offers six figures to settle — the one certainty that does exist, most lawyers interviewed said, is the award of lifetime medical care for legitimate injuries. Beyond that, players usually get a permanent disability award of about $40,000 to $100,000 paid over about six years.

“It isn’t a question of if — it’s how much,” said Tony Baroldi, who represents several insurance companies who cover NFL teams in hundreds of athlete cases a year.

Owens said that neither he nor anyone else from his firm would have told Smith that players face a jury. He said that turning down a settlement and going to trial involves an inherent gamble.

“You can’t guarantee anything — there’s always a risk of going to trial,” Owens said. “I know the way players think. I played the game.”

Clyde Simmons, the former All-Pro defensive lineman for the

Continued from D1 “It felt normal,” he said. “Try to hit a little fade off the first tee, try to take something off of it and make sure I got it in play. That was about it. From there, I just went about my business.”

Woods twirled his club after a good drive, slammed it after a few bad ones.

He pumped his fist after making the first of two eagles and sunk to his knees when he missed a birdie putt on the 16th that slowed his climb up the leaderboard.

And just like always, he complained about not making enough putts.

“Otherwise, it could have been a very special round,” Woods said.

Yet it was special in so many ways.

Couples, who played a practice round with Woods on Monday, sauntered along in tennis shoes and no socks and shot a 6-under 66. It was his best score ever at the Masters and made him the oldest player to be the outright leader for any round.

“I never really thought about what I was shooting,” said Couples, who already has won three times this year on the 50-and-older Champions Tour. “It was a fun day for me. I still think I can play, and if I putt well I’ve got to be some kind of factor in my mind.”

Tom Watson, at 60 the oldest player in this Masters, picked up from his amazing ride at last year’s British Open with a bogey-free round of 67 that left him tied with Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Y.E. Yang and K.J. Choi.

“My goals were to play better than I’ve played in the last five or six years, and I achieved that — for the first round,” Watson said. “I’m playing pretty well. I’ve said I have to play better than 90 percent to be successful on this golf course.”

Still, this day was always going to be about Woods.

He had not hit a competitive shot in 144 days, since winning the Australian Masters on Nov. 15 for his 82nd victory around the world. A four-time Masters champion, he has never come to Augusta National with so much uncertainty — about his game, and mostly how fans would respond to a player whose impeccable image had been shattered by tawdry tabloid tales of sex.

The patrons were on their best behavior, as expected at the most polite tournament in golf. Augusta National can’t control the perimeter of the course,

Philadelphia Eagles who played for four other teams during a career that lasted from 1986 to 2000, accepted $220,000 to settle his claim in 2008 (tax-free, like all workers’ comp awards).

Simmons’ lawyer was Modesto Diaz, who, unlike Owens and Mix, did not play professional football but remains a prominent workers’ compensation lawyer for former players. This is largely because he serves on the nationwide panel of lawyers that the players union recommends to retired veterans, with the understanding that he must strongly discourage the selling of medical rights. And still, Diaz, who is known as Doc, said, “I’d say that 75 percent of them still take the money upfront.”

Lawyers are paid far more for settlements than for the retention of medical care. California state fee structures allow lawyers to charge up to 18 percent of any upfront or deferred cash award; they receive no portion of the value of future medical care.

So whereas a player’s typical $80,000 award with future medical would net a lawyer a $14,400 fee, settling the case before the rigors of a trial for $150,000 nets the lawyer $27,000.

“If you’re the applicant attorney, you get twice as much for half as much work,” said one insurance company lawyer who declined to be identified because he still represents teams. “The insurance companies want to settle the claims, too, to get them off the books. The only party who doesn’t really benefit from a settlement is usually the player.”

Baroldi, the insurers’ lawyer, said that getting pro football players to take settlements — known as C&R agreements, for Compromise and Release — is quite easy. Because many players retain their on-field bravado toward ignoring pain and medical problems, Baroldi said, their decisions can be myopic.

“If it was me, and I had a work injury, no matter what part of the body it is, if it was a broken fingernail, I would never C&R it — never,” Baroldi said. Asked whether he ever considered saying that during negotiations, he added: “No, I’ve got my job and they’ve got their job. I’m not going to jump up and say, ‘Are you nuts?’”

Norman Delaterre, a workers’ compensation judge in Santa Ana, Calif., said that, by law, judges must consider whether settlements are in a reasonable range based on the evidence presented by doctors. He said he has found football players’ settlements to fit that qualification, although he has wondered

On the ground, the gallery was mostly positive, with a few exceptions.

“He doesn’t have the right character and integrity to represent golf,” Larry Isenhour said. “That’s why I came out early this morning to applaud Jack Nicklaus.”

Nicklaus, the six-time Masters champion, joined Arnold Palmer as an honorary starter. The two old rivals hit the ceremonial tee shots to open the Masters, and chairman Billy Payne said, “The 2010 Masters is now officially begun. Have fun.”

And they did.

Clouds moved in quickly and kept the sun from baking out the greens, and some of the hole locations allowed for birdies. The low scores weren’t a surprise, only the names next to them.

Watson had two birdies in three holes to put his name on the leaderboard and bring back memories of his magical run at Turnberry last summer when he missed an eight-foot putt on the last hole of regulation and then lost in a playoff at the British Open. He never went away this time, never made a bogey and wound up matching his best score ever at Augusta.

“I don’t know if you can put an age on

how well some players have considered the ramifications.

“These players are represented by experienced, competent attorneys — the players themselves,

how anybody is playing, but he’s playing like one of the best players in the world right now,” said Steve Marino, who played with Watson, as he did in the third round at the British.

Mickelson came to the Masters without having finished in the top five this year, but he looked as comfortable as ever, particularly on the back nine with an eagle-birdie-birdie stretch that put him atop the leaderboard at 67.

Westwood, Europe’s top player, had only broken 70 twice in his Masters career until running off seven birdies for a 67.

Throughout the morning, however, anticipation was building toward Woods’ return. A single row of fans stood behind the ropes along the first fairway a half-hour before Woods teed off. When he approached the green, the crowd stood 10-deep in spots, a gallery that included about 15 people from Woods’ circle — his mother, friends, employees, Nike chairman Phil Knight and other sponsors.

Given all that transpired over the last five months — revelations of his womanizing, the loss of sponsors and a shattered reputation — it figured to be as nervous as Woods has been over an opening tee shot since his first as a pro.

“Fore, please. Now on the tee, Tiger Woods,” the starter said.

The crowd let out a spontaneous cheer, and more applause followed when Woods found the fairway. “One of the best drives I’ve ever seen him hit,” swing coach Hank Haney said.

From there, it looked as though Woods had never been gone.

There were flashes of a more personable player. After a tee shot into the gallery at No. 5, a man said, “Let’s go, Tiger” when he arrived at the ball. “Where am I going to go?” Woods said back to him with a smile as he waited for the green to clear.

The first fist pump came on his 8-foot eagle putt at the eighth hole.

And he still had a temper. He appeared to curse and slammed his club on the 11th when his tee shot headed toward the trees, and he slung down the driver after another poor shot on the 14th.

Mostly, though, this was his day to smile — he was playing golf again, and playing it well.

He confessed no special satisfaction in his performance, dismissed any notion that it signified redemption.

“It meant that I’m two shots off the lead,” he said flatly. “That’s what it means.”

they’re adults,” Delaterre said.

“Presumably they’ve discussed the ramifications of the various types of settlements with their attorneys, and they’ve come to

a decision to accept the lump sum. Even though the judge in the back of his mind is thinking, ‘You know, if it were me, maybe I wouldn’t do this.’”

Bears

NBA SCOREBOARD

Continued from D1 A three-run triple by Barrett capped a seven-run home half of the first inning for the Bears, who before that trailed 3-0 with the help of a two-run homer by the Cougars’ Jo Carroll, the second batter of the game.

Other hitting standouts for Bend on a big day for offense included Travis Wiest, who stroked three doubles and drove in six runs.

The Lava Bears also got three hits and four runs from Kenny Norgaard, three hits and three runs from Chase Clair, and two hits, two runs and two RBIs from Kyle Lammers.

For all the hitting, Weber said the key to the game for Bend might have been a stretch of clutch relief pitching by Michael Hirko. On in relief of Barrett with two outs in the sixth inning and Mountain View trailing 17-15 with two runners on base, Hirko registered a rally-killing strikeout.

“That strikeout was a big deal for us,” Weber said.

Then, after the Bears tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the sixth, Hirko pitched a scoreless seventh inning to preserve the

Summit softball knocks off Crook County Bulletin staff report Summit broke open its Intermountain Conference softball game against Crook County in the fifth inning and held on to top the visiting Cowgirls 11-7 Thursday afternoon.

The Cowgirls were first to score, but Summit’s Lacey Hice hit a double in the bottom of the third inning to trigger a Storm rally. By the bottom of the fourth, three Crook County runs later, the game was locked in a 4-4 tie.

However, timely hits allowed the Storm team to pile on seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take an 11-4 lead they would not relinquish.

“We just couldn’t get an out,” offered Crook County coach Tom Decker.

The visiting squad came back with two runs in the seventh inning, but after that Summit closed the curtain on the Cowgirls.

Summit pitcher Mariah Defoe went the distance and also scored two runs for the Storm (1-2 IMC, 4-3 overall) while teammate Marissa Alcantar hit a triple.

Sydney Waite and Channele Fulton hit doubles for the Cowgirls (2-2 IMC, 3-6 overall), and Paige Buswell was two for three with three runs scored.

Pitcher Justin Callen registered 10 strikeouts for the Panthers (10-2 overall), who now lead the CVC at 5-0.

by Mingus in the bottom of the sixth inning scored Aldridge with the game-ending run as the Storm (1-2 IMC, 2-7 overall) won via the 10-run rule. Summit sophomore Kevin Hamann was the completegame winning pitcher; he tossed a three-hitter while striking out six and walking three.

NBA ROUNDUP

Nuggets hold off Lakers for fourth straight victory The Associated Press DENVER — Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points and had a game-saving block at the buzzer, helping the Denver Nuggets hold on for a 98-96 win over a Los Angeles Lakers team playing without Kobe Bryant on Thursday night.

With time winding down, Anthony stuffed Derek Fisher’s shot as Denver won its fourth straight.

The slumping Lakers gave Bryant the night off to rest a swollen right knee and an aching right index finger. Los Angeles has now dropped four of its last five games, but remains in control for the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Lakers need just one more win in their last four to wrap it up, or a Denver loss.

With the win, Denver moved a full game in front of the Utah Jazz for the Northwest Division lead. The Nuggets also remained in contention for the second seed, staying in a tight race with Phoenix, Dallas and Utah.

J.R. Smith came off the bench to score 26 points, including five three-pointers, while Chauncey Billups added 12.

The Lakers were led by Paul Gasol, who finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds.

The Nuggets took advantage of the Bryant-less Lakers, racing out to a 15-point lead in the third quarter. But it didn’t last as the Lakers came roaring back, reclaiming the lead.

However, Nene’s free throw with 1:22 remaining put Denver ahead for good. Not that there wasn’t plenty of drama at the finish.

Like, for instance, the deflection call the Lakers felt went the wrong way. With about 18 seconds left and Denver clinging to a one-point lead, Shannon Brown swatted away a shot by Smith, grabbing the rebound and sending an outlet pass to Fisher.

But Billups broke it up, with the ball glancing off Fisher’s fingers before going out of bounds. The officials ruled it Nuggets ball, and upheld the decision after glancing at the monitor.

Smith made one of two free throws to extend the lead to 9896. Fisher had a chance to tie, but Anthony blocked his shot.

Also on Thursday: Bulls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .109 Cavaliers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .108 CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored 24 points, Kirk Hinrich had 23 and the Chicago Bulls survived some shaky freethrow shooting down the stretch to beat the Cavaliers with LeBron James sitting out. The Bulls moved into a tie with eighth-place Toronto in the Eastern Conference.

Kings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116 Clippers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .94 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Tyreke Evans had 28 points, six rebounds and seven assists to help Sacramento snap an eightgame losing streak and stretch the Clippers’ skid to seven.

UFC heads to Middle East, outdoors Two titles are on the line as the Ultimate Fighting Championship tries a new market

On tap: UFC 112

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

When the UFC debuts in the Middle East this weekend, the octagon will be outdoors in the heat.

The raucous, skin-baring show in the temporary arena built around it is sure to raise a few eyebrows, as well.

Yet mixed martial arts is nothing new in Abu Dhabi, where UFC 112 is expected to crack open yet another market for the growing sport’s dominant promotion.

The UFC’s first outdoor event might be an outlandish venture on many levels, but the league’s worldwide expansion is proceeding as planned.

“When we began discussing the idea of coming to Abu Dhabi, it was only in December,” said Marshall Zelaznik, the UFC’s U.K. president. “When you think where we are now, and you see the venue that’s been built, it will absolutely blow you away. We knew this was a hotbed for Brazilian jiujitsu and other martial arts ... but the response has just amazed us.”

Middleweight champion Anderson Silva will defend his belt against Demian Maia, and lightweight champ B.J. Penn will take on Frank Edgar. Matt Hughes also will fight 43-year-old MMA pioneer Renzo Gracie, whose coaching relationships in the United Arab Emirates facilitated this unlikely event.

Beacon Rock Continued from D1 Even if you have hiked there before, several new routes built in the past few years invite exploration.

Spring is a good time for a hike in the park. The falls gush harder during the rainy season, the trails are typically free of snow, and the crowds are thinner.

Park ranger Vivian McNeil said the park’s trails are popular with those getting in shape for longer trips later in the season.

Beacon Rock park, about a 3 1 ⁄2-hour drive from Bend, is served by two parking lots. For hikers, the main lot a short distance off Washington State Highway 14 is most attractive.

A rock summit called Little Beacon Rock (more about that later) looms above the trailhead.

From the trailhead, which is about 400 feet above sea level, the wide trail heads into the woods for half a mile or so, then crosses under twin power lines. The open gash in the forest for the power lines offers a view down to the Columbia River and Bonneville Dam, about five miles distant.

The trail heads back into the mossy woods. From the parking lot it is 1¼ miles, with a 450-foot elevation gain, to the twin torrents of Hardy Falls and Rodney Falls.

A side trail leads down to a viewpoint over the top of Hardy Falls, which tumbles over a cliff about 100 feet below. There is no official trail to the bottom of the 90-foottall Hardy Falls, but it is possible to get there by scrambling down the hill. With the drop-offs, venturing off the main trail is not a good idea for small children.

A few yards farther up the trail is the much more accessible Rodney Falls. The trail crosses below the falls’ major step on a sturdy wooden bridge. Rodney Falls descends about 80 feet.

The upper part of the falls foams through a chasm in the rock called the Punchbowl. A side trail cut into the cliff leads to the edge of the Punchbowl, which would be a good place to cool off with spray on a hot day.

The waterfalls make a good turning-around point for a short hike, but plenty of opportunities for additional trekking are available.

One of the high points of Beacon Rock State Park is Hamilton Mountain, elevation 2,438 feet. To get there, keep going past Rodney Falls.

The trail soon forks, with both directions eventually leading to Hamilton Mountain.

The shorter — and steeper — part of the loop goes to the right. It climbs sharply, with steps cut into the rock in places. The trail winds through rocky cliffs, with dropoffs here and there.

The summit is something of an anticlimax, a flat expanse with heavy brush blocking the views in some directions. However, those who get to the top will find a good

UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, right, is fighting for the first time since his knockout of Forrest Griffin, left, in the light heavyweight division last August.

What: The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s UFC 112, a mixed martial arts card Who: Former Central Oregon resident John “Quick Guns” Gunderson will appear in a preliminary fight against Paul Taylor in the lightweight division; also on the card, middleweight champion Anderson Silva fights Demian Maia, and lightweight champion B.J. Penn faces Frank Edgar When: Saturday Where: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates TV: On pay-per-view, check with your cable or satellite provider (Gunderson’s fight might not be broadcast); fight card will be broadcast at 7 p.m.

PDT, on tape delay

The UFC also is in Abu Dhabi to visit its new partners: Flash Entertainment, an events promotion company owned by the Emirates government, recently bought a 10-percent stake in the UFC. The company is expected to aid the UFC’s expansion into China and other markets where the American company needs local connections.

The UFC expects about 11,000 fans in the arena built next to the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island, outside the Abu Dhabi city center. The outdoor temperature and humidity should be tolerable, although the UFC is a bit concerned about wind and sand.

The arena was built in about three weeks, and workers still were rushing to finish the venue less than 48 hours before it opened. Although the fighters’ dressing rooms are in upscale

trailers, this unusual setting is a particular thrill for the two dominant champions on the card.

Silva and Penn are no strangers to going wherever White sends them, yet the prospect of an openair octagon initially gave pause to both fighters. Although both are heavily favored to beat their opponents, they wondered whether they would have more trouble with stifling heat or sandstorms.

Two weeks in the city have allayed most of those fears.

“All I do every day of my life is train outdoors,” said Penn, who lives and frequently trains in Hilo, Hawaii. “The humidity and everything in Hawaii, you can get sweaty and stuff, but I don’t know how it’s going to be in Abu Dhabi. If it is humid like Hawaii, it might get a little slippery, so we might have to expect something like that. Outdoors, it’s just like

how we live in Hawaii, just pretty slip-and-slide.”

Silva is shooting for his 11th consecutive victory and sixth title defense. The Spider acknowledges he’s considering a move to another weight class if he wins as easily as expected, yet the Abu Dhabi crowd could be behind Maia, who had a particular affinity for the place even before this adventure.

He caught the UFC’s attention in 2007 by winning a submission wrestling tournament sponsored by the Abu Dhabi Combat Club.

“I’m very glad that I was fighting there and I won, and now I can come back and fight again in their land,” Maia said. “It’s very nice for me, and grappling is my style. I hope I’ll do that there.”

view upriver to Table Mountain and, on clear days, across the Columbia to waterfalls dropping over Oregon cliffs.

From the summit, either backtrack down or continue ahead down the more gradually sloping ridge top for a mile to a saddle where four trails convene.

Major trail junctions like this are well-marked with signs pointing the way back to the parking lot. Maps are displayed behind glass, too, though some are too

waterlogged to be useful.

From the saddle, the route joins a network of old logging roads where horses and mountain bikes are allowed. Or take “Don’s Trail,” a hiker-only alternative.

On the way back, after you have once again passed the waterfalls, yet another trail offers a different twist.

The unmarked but hard-tomiss trail to Little Beacon Rock starts by a bench under the power lines. That trail eventually leads

through a jumble of boulders to Little Beacon Rock, which is only a few hundred feet shorter than its bigger twin.

Past Little Beacon Rock, the trail descends to the campground. The road leads back to where you started.

The trail between the campground and Little Beacon Rock is ADA accessible.

The entire loop to Hamilton Mountain and back is eight miles.

Central Oregon to celebrate Week of the Young Child B E ST B E T S FOR FAMILY FUN Details, Page E3

Week of the Young Child From fairs to classes, families with little ones can attend a wide range of activities to celebrate and learn more about children.

n infant picks up a block, a toddler splashes water in a pond, a baby stares into her mom’s face. These young children aren’t just playing, they are learning.

That staring, that splashing, that grasping — all of it is important. Young chil-

dren take all of it in, the good and the bad, and that information feeds their rapidly developing brains. For the first few years of life, a child’s brain develops in a way that it never will again. And this development shapes the child and person going forward.

Members of the local community want to recognize the importance of these early years by celebrating the national Week of the Young Child. Central Oregon has hosted events honoring the week in year’s past (including several sponsored by the now-closed Working Wonders Children’s Museum). But this year the Deschutes County Commission on Children and Families took over the organization of the efforts (see “Week of the Young Child” schedule on Page E6) and the number of organizations and events has grown substantially. The week will focus on literacy, playing together, health and safety.

“Kids should be celebrated,” said coordinator Lolly Nelson, “They are pretty fabulous.”

Baby brain Babies are born with most of the cells in their brain already formed — about 100 billion. But the connections among those cells don’t form until after they are born, according to information from Sean Brotherson, a family science specialist with North Dakota State University. The experiences of a child are what determine how those pathways within the brain will connect. According to Brotherson, a 3-year-old’s brain will have hundreds of trillions of connections. During adolescence, people lose about half of those as the unused connections are weeded out.

art of the mandatory curriculum for English 12 students is a unit on tragic heroes. My class spent a great deal of time discussing characters like Willy Loman, Macbeth and Oedipus, all classics of the genre. While this was all very fascinating, I could not help but feel, as many students often do, that we were treading hackneyed ground.

All of these characters and novels have been discussed thousands of times in just as many classrooms across the nation. There is just not that much to say about Macbeth that hasn’t already been covered.

So, being the visionary that I am, I decided to look forward, to blaze new trails and explore uncharted waters. And one day, after my customary English-class nap, I stumbled upon a great idea.

Grandma’s late nights take their toll on her grandkids Dear Abby: My sister “Carole’s” husband died a year ago, and her oldest daughter passed away four months later. Carole now has her daughter’s two oldest children, ages 10 and 14.

Carole has been going out with men she meets on the Internet, drinking and partying on weekends and neglecting the kids. The 10-year-old had been receiving psychological help since before her mom died and was on medication, but Carole has dropped all of this help for the child. The girl had been molested by a relative years ago, and now with her mother gone, she’s not moving forward in school or in life.

Some of us are willing to take the children from her. She seems not to care what happens to them. She devotes all her attention to the next guy she can be with. She has left the kids alone all night when she was spending the night with men. I’m not supposed to know this, but my adult niece found out from the kids.

What can our family do to bring Carole back to earth and help these kids?

— Deeply Concerned In Pennsylvania Dear Deeply Concerned: Bringing Carole back to earth and helping the kids may be two separate issues — and you may not be able to accomplish both.

It is possible that Carole would be open to others in the family taking in the children if you approach her as a group and “sympathetically” offer her that option. Explain that you all can see the stress she’s under trying to find herself as a widow and grieving mother.

It appears that she is in need of counseling — if she’s open to it. Make it plain that her children would be welcome to stay with you on a temporary or permanent basis. If she agrees, fine.

However, if she doesn’t, contact Childhelp USA, which can give you information about agencies that can help. Contact them

DEAR ABBY by logging onto www.childhelpusa.org or calling toll-free: 800-422-4453.

Dear Abby: My son was killed in a car accident five years ago.

His wife, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy a few months later.

Last month, I received a phone call from a woman we barely know who told me — very politely — that she had a “surprise” for me. She then informed me that I have another grandchild, a little girl! She claims my son got her granddaughter pregnant six years ago, and that she had the DNA checked to prove my son was the father. Needless to say, my wife and I were floored.

Abby, I don’t know how to react. My wife, who is level-headed, told me not to react right now and to think things through. Do I go to this grandchild with open arms? It doesn’t feel right. The child’s mother has not reached out to us at all. I need your help.

— Man With No Plan In New York Dear Man With No Plan: Your wife is an intelligent lady. I, too, find it odd that you would be contacted — five years after your son’s death — by someone other than the child’s mother.

The person you should go to “with open arms” is your attorney. If there is DNA evidence, your attorney can help you determine if it’s authentic and what your next move should be. Because you have not heard from the mother, you should not approach the child unless you have first made certain your attention is welcome.

Pop (and daughter) culture In TV and films, fathers and female offspring star

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

Clinton, Bush, Obama.

Not just our three most recent presidents — but three dads.

And not just three dads: three dads of daughters.

So maybe it’s a clue. So maybe the obvious joy these otherwise wildly dissimilar men take in their relationships with their daughters was the nudge to writers. Maybe it’s part of the reason fathers and daughters began showing up with regularity on TV series and films and in books.

Presidential papas and their well-adjusted female offspring may partially explain how the father-daughter dance has become so ubiquitous in the arts.

In TV series’ such as “Castle” and “Shark,” which aired for two seasons until 2008, the primary relationships of the cool dads played

by Nathan Fillion and James Woods are with their daughters, Alexis Castle (Molly Quinn) and Julia Stark (Danielle Panabaker). In “Bones,” the recurring interaction between Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her father, played by Ryan O’Neal, blossomed into an important plot point. The same was true of the tight bond between Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessey) and her father (Ken Howard), a retired police detective, in “Crossing Jordan.”

In the 2010 film “Edge of Darkness,” it is the close connection between Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) and his daughter Emma (Bojana Novakovic) that lights the fuse of the explosive plot. “Taken” (2008) shows the lengths to which a father (Liam Neeson)

ABC via The Associated Press

Nathan Fillion portrays mystery novelist and cool dad Richard Castle in the ABC series, “Castle,” which airs at 10 Monday nights on ABC. will go to save his daughter. “The Lovely Bones” (2009), based on Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel, highlights the love between a father and his daughter.

And we would be foolish (and instantly on the receiving end of 10,001 livid e-mails with frownfaced emoticons) to neglect to mention one of the most successful father-daughter tandems in TV and music history: “Hannah Montana,” the Disney Channel show featuring Miley Cyrus and her real-life father, Billy Ray Cyrus, playing the made-up Miley Stewart and her father, Robby, who in turn play the made-up Hannah Montana and her manager and ... oh, never mind.

Staple of lit What’s behind the recent surge of fictional father-daughter teams?

To be sure, fathers and daugh-

ters have not been exactly absent from the arts. They are a staple of literature, from Scout and Atticus in Harper Lee’s classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1960) and Nancy and Carson Drew in the Nancy Drew mystery series, to Elizabeth Bennet and her father in Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice” (1813). Sylvia Plath’s twisted, volatile relationship with her father put the nasty snarl in “Daddy” (1963), her best-known poem. Shakespeare’s “King Lear” has a little something to say about the father-daughter thing, as does Jane Smiley’s updating of that tale in her 1991 novel “A Thousand Acres,” which was followed by the 1997 film version. Even earlier, Greek dramatists such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides took a crack at the tragic story of Electra, desperate daughter of King Agamemnon.

More bonding, less bickering But depictions of father-daughter relationships in contemporary pop culture feel different. They are largely positive, for one thing.

There is less torment and more fun. Less angst, more hilarity.

Fewer door-slamming moments, more watching-a-DVD-with-abig-bowl-of-popcorn moments.

In a series such as “Castle,” the repartee between the title character and his daughter is one of the show’s high points. Were it not for the sparkling scenes between Rick Castle and Alexis, the series would sink beneath the weight of its cliches.

Another possible reason for the rising number of depictions of fathers and daughters in the arts can be chalked up to realworld-social change. Women now can participate in the full range of human activities; they

can play sports, enter politics, go fly-fishing, fix old cars. That wasn’t the case previously. Thus fictional fathers can — just as real ones do — talk to their daughters about the same things about which they’d talk to their sons.

In a recent “Castle” episode, father and daughter squared off in a fencing match. In “Crossing Jordan,” father and daughter often collaborated in solving crimes.

But fathers and daughters still constitute a rich potential field, a largely untapped reservoir of stories.

Not all of those stories can be savory ones. In the real world, of course, not all fathers are loving and supportive; some are abusive and negligent, just as some mothers are. Dramas about fathers and daughters, if they are to reflect life, must include some portraits of pain and betrayal. But for now, pop culture is having a fine time with upbeat dads who enjoy the challenges posed by interesting daughters.

Homer Simpson may not pick up on daughter Lisa’s literary allusions, but he loves her more than he does Lard Lad Donuts — and that’s no small thing.

Maybe, in the end, it really does all come down to a trio of commanders in chief who also happen to be fathers. Great fathers, we are reliably informed.

The kind of fathers whose love and support for their female children would just naturally inspire writers and filmmakers.

So no matter what your politics, you have to like the fact that Bill, George and Barack share a single name: dad.

A NOVEL IDEA OPENING: Jason Graham and the Gospel Choir of the Cascades kick off the 2010 A Novel Idea … Read Together program; free; 2 p.m.; Bend Public Library,

Nyberg Continued from E1 These tragic heroes in the books are fine and all, but I was sure that there had to be some real tragic heroes out in the world right now. I would find them, bring them to light and receive many accolades and recognition. More or less.

So I started my intense, thorough research.

Wikipedia characterizes a tragic hero as one who is of noble birth, has a tragic flaw, usually hubris, meaning pride (I did not even have to look that up), and suffers a downfall of his or her own making.

Immediately after reading this, a hero sprang to mind. He is a man who fits these categories perfectly; I could hardly believe that no one had thought of it before.

I’m speaking, of course, of Kanye West.

Allow me to go through the checklist.

First off, as far as most rappers go, Kanye is of fairly noble birth.

The Family Movie Guide should be used along with the Motion Picture Association of America rating system for selecting movies suitable for children. Only films rated G, PG or PG-13 are included in this weekly listing, along with occasional R-rated films that may have entertainment value or educational value for older children with parental guidance.

TUESDAY No family event listings.

He was from a middle-class family that lives in the suburbs of Chicago. He is college educated, and his mother was even chair of the English department at Chicago State University. His place within the hip-hop kingdom is undisputed. Not only is he a great producer and rapper, but he also owns his own record label and brand of clothing.

He even easily fulfills the flaws requirement of the criteria. While Kanye is known for being a very “human” performer, he is also known for his huge ego. He has been known to say, “I inspire me.”

That pretty much speaks for itself.

And anyone who has been paying attention to credible news sources like E! or People Magazine will have heard of Kanye’s now-infamous behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

If you haven’t heard, allow me to briefly rehash it for you.

During Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, Kanye decided to intervene on behalf of his friend Beyoncé, explaining none-too-politely that he believed Beyoncé deserved the award

for her “best video of all time.”

Obviously, this didn’t go over too well with Taylor, the audience, other celebrities, the public or, presumably, the Lord. And so Kanye fell, his swift descent only aided by his heavy pride.

As you can see, Kanye easily fulfils all of these criteria, and is therefore a tragic hero.

However, you are likely thinking to yourself “So what? I don’t even like hip-hop,” or “I don’t know who Kanye West even is,” or “What is MTV?” But trust me, I have a point.

Along with my discovery of Kanye’s tragic heroicism, I realized something slightly less interesting but more important: What we learn in school has applications in the real world.

Teachers are often heckled by students with questions like, “When will we ever use this?” and, “How will this help me get a job?” Whether the teacher admits it or not, the answer usually is that it probably won’t. But classes like English 12 can help students better understand the world around them, and apply the time-

By Roger Moore The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel

‘Date Night’ Rating: PG-13 for sexual and crude content throughout, language, some violence and a drug reference.

What it’s about: A couple gets into all sorts of trouble just by trying to have a nice night out on the town.

The kid attractor factor: Steve Carell and Tina Fey, as parents behaving badly.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Even the smallest lies can have major consequences.

Violence: Quite a bit of shooting — to no effect.

Language: Scattered bits of profanity, an f-bomb or two.

Sex: Discussed, simulated in a strip brothel.

Drugs: Alcohol, cigarettes.

Parents’ advisory: More a parents’ date comedy than a family one, suitable for 15-and-older.

‘Letters to God’ Rating: PG for thematic material.

What it’s about: A sickly little boy changes lives around him when he starts writing letters to God. The kid attractor factor: Children, a Christian message.

Good lessons/bad lessons: A child’s faith can inspire adults.

Violence: None, though the boy shows the scars of brain surgery.

Language: Squeaky clean.

Sex: None.

Drugs: Alcohol.

Parents’ advisory: Family friendly, but as Christian-themed films go, this one’s more of a sermon than a movie.

‘Remember Me’ Rating: PG-13 for violence, sexual content, language and smoking.

What it’s about: A troubled young man finds love and purpose in the love of a girl he dates on a dare.

The kid attractor factor: Robert Pattinson, from “Twilight,” in a romantic role without fangs.

Violence: More than you’d expect.

Language: Some profanity, not much.

Drugs: RPattz drinks beer and smokes, almost incessantly.

‘Our Family Wedding’ Rating: PG-13 for some sexual content and brief strong language.

What it’s about: Two large and very ethnic families — one black, one Hispanic — meet and comically clash during the titular nuptials.

The kid attractor factor: American Ferrara, “Ugly” and “Betty” no more.

Good lessons/bad lessons: The newlywed’s mantra — “It’s our marriage, THEIR wedding.”

Violence: A cake fight or two.

Language: “Brief strong language” that you’ll miss if you aren’t looking for it.

Sex: Two words — “goat” and “Viagra.”

Drugs: A big drunk scene.

Parents’ advisory: A bit broad and low for a wedding comedy, but barely more than a PG in terms of adult content.

‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ Rating: PG for some rude humor and language.

What it’s about: A boy narrates his comically nightmarish misadventures from his first year in middle school.

The kid attractor factor: The best-selling books come to life, or at least the big screen.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “It’s our choices that make us who we are.”

Violence: Bullies threaten it.

Language: Trips to the toilet using the milder words one uses there.

Sex: Boys stumble toward that age when they notice girls.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Funny, irreverent, pretty faithful to the tween-centered books, this is very family friendly, potty breaks notwithstanding.

less wisdom of human experience to their own lives.

You see, those really uncomfortable pillows with the pages are good for something besides sleeping on. They are written about the real world by real people, and we could all learn something from them.

While my examples may be confined to the area of English, any subject can be applied to real life in one way or another.

Except for math. Everyone knows we’ll never use that.

So I encourage all students to pick your head up off the textbook, open your bleary eyes and pay attention. While right now there may seem to be no use for “symbolism,” “chemical equations” or “history,” someday we may find their application in the most unusual of places.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 9, 2010: This year, you simply know what works and what pleases others. Still, an element of discomfort follows you with partnerships in general.

You might often wish that others were more vocal. You are often off dreaming up ideas. If you are single, you could meet someone who knocks your socks off. Wait at least a year before committing.

If you are attached, a newfound empathy emerges. It is as if you feel your significant other’s feelings.

AQUARIUS understands you.

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 Your creativity pokes through any project, conversation or situation. The trick is to know when to speak and when to muzzle yourself. Sometimes people don’t appreciate your suggestions. A meeting proves to be inspirational. Tonight: Out the door, celebrating the weekend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might feel as if someone created a Catch-22 situation just for you! Remember, you don’t need to play in this ballpark.

Sometimes by clearing out, you end the problem. Creativity marks a business or public relationship.

Tonight: You might be having too much fun to make it an early night!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Attempt to see the broader picture and visualize what others are seeing. Yes, your mind can drift

way beyond, but to empathize you need to imagine how another person feels. Learning to simultaneously detach and feel takes talent! Tonight: Put on a great piece of music.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Someone comes to you with his or her hand open, making an offer that you cannot and will not say no to. Realize that your imagination could take what is being offered to a whole new level, which might not have anything to do with reality.

Careful! Tonight: Dinner for two.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Others certainly provide inspiration. What you decide to do with it is your choice. Realize what is happening behind the scenes with a loved one. A talk might be needed and way overdue. Realize that you put this person on a pedestal. Tonight: Opt to be with who you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand what is happening within your immediate situation. A walk by water would provide a great deal of relaxation, or perhaps purchase a table fountain and make a special area for relaxation. Make plans to do just that. Tonight: Out with friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your imagination dots all your i’s and crosses all your t’s.

Could you be setting yourself up for disappointment? Try to be realistic.

Your ingenuity plugged into a project could prove to be quite beneficial.

Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH If you had a hard time getting into work today, don’t

be surprised. Your best and most preferred spot is at home.

You are likely to try to get home early or to change plans later on. You might not always be a homebody, but right now you certainly are! Tonight: Order in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your intuition kicks in -- to the extent that you nearly know who is going to call before they pick up the phone. Still, don’t try to determine what someone else means. Clarify and ask questions. You might be surprised by the true intent of someone’s words. Tonight: TGIF. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Weigh the pros and cons of an investment — this even could be an investment of your time. You could be deceiving yourself about the end results. Be aware of how much you offer at first. Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Others find you to be inspirational, if you can remain focused. You might scatter from one idea to another, making it difficult for even you to keep track of your thoughts. Perhaps jot your ideas down, and later you can revisit them. Tonight: As you like.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Knowing when to back out graciously could make a difference in the long run. If you feel as if you don’t have the expertise to deal with a problem, then most likely you don’t. You will learn more if you listen and are open. Tonight: Add some mystery to your repertoire. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

Gills

EUROPE

Continued from E1 The girls and I entered a fairy tale in the form of a castle in a small village by the Rhõne River called Serriéres-en-Chautagne, in France. We were on the east flank of the valley, with views across the villages, farmlands and vineyards. From there, we moved downstream to Lyon, the second-largest city in France. Cathedrals, Roman ruins and shopping filled our days in the hometown of the artist who built the Statue of Liberty. (From France, the Gills went to Geneva and then on to Venice).

What has been the highlight so far?

There are so many great experiences, it’s hard to pick just one. I guess walking around Lyon and seeing the history, or our arrival at the castle that took my breath away. I have also loved the pace. Because our life is continuing through this trip, the pace is different than a 10 day or twoweek vacation. We don’t feel like time is so limited we need to cram everything in.

Otherwise, some of the biggest highlights are also the biggest challenges. We’ve enjoyed the intensity of learning. Because everything is different, we have to learn not only the expected things, but all of those parts of life that are usually routine. Where the recycling goes, how to read the bus schedule, to weigh our produce and put a price sticker on the bag before taking it to the check stand.

Each family member reported their highlights,

Continued from E1 Edie Jones has been working with parents and young children in Central Oregon for many years as the director of Together for Children, a local nonprofit that educates groups of parents with children age birth to 3. During that time, the way we see infants and young children has changed because of the increase in research about the importance of infant brain development.

“There’s so much we didn’t know that we are discovering now,” said Jones.

For instance, she recalls one study showing infants can do some math before they can talk.

The babies are shown two cars, then the researcher hides the cars behind a screen. After the first car is brought out, the baby’s eyes go back and search for the second car. “They do things we never counted on,” said Jones.

Together for Children program manager and parent educator Linda Gilpin said infants are amazing when it comes to how their brains develop.

They are constantly testing their environment and learning through trial and error. She believes the research has given people a lot more respect for young children.

“The first three years are really the most critical time,” said Gilpin.

Negative impacts Just as positive experiences affect children in the long term, so to do negative ones. Young children who do not feel loved or who experience roughness or abuse “may not be able to trust or have a hard time developing trust later on,” said Jones. Children growing up in a home of demands and shouts can also experience negative consequences, said Jones. She said some parents believe being stern — demands and shouts — is “the way you get what you want,” but Jones said it can be damaging to very young children.

“Everything a parent does, a

as well: Marlie Gill, 11: Staying in a castle. I liked the gardens and the swing, and how big it was. Also the architecture. I also liked the little stream that ran along it and that it had two waterfalls. Another highlight was all the people who have come to stay with us. It is nice to have people outside your family as your social life. It was pretty fun spending the day in Lyon with Steven (Son of a part-time Bendite we met up with in Lyon.) It was nice to have someone my age to goof around with.

John Gill: The skiing has been really great, especially in the three valleys. I had enough time to learn my way around and know where to go. It was fun to find good skiing and then to share that with

Week of the Young Child

friends. In Chamonix, I didn’t have enough time, between the bad weather (raining, hard) and the duration to learn the area.

Hannah Gill, 13: I never expected I would enjoy being on the move so much. I like each new place and am a little sad to leave, but really like that I am not tied down and that my life fits in a suitcase. It was really nice to have my friend Britt visit and share my experiences with her. (One of Hannah’s friends flew out to join us for 10 days. Her parents put her on a flight and we picked her up in Geneva) I also especially enjoyed skiing in the Alps and staying in the castle.

Q: A:

The biggest challenge?

Eva Gill: I covered the idea of learning all the time under highlights — it is both really.

Then, just as we are getting comfortable, we move on. Also, I seem to get a little lost. Part of the time we have rented a car and while driving, we miss things. Exits, streets. Trying to keep track on the map in a place we are not familiar with, and signage that is different from what we are accustomed to, we’ve taken a lot of “scenic routes.”

The most challenging single thing we’ve done would be to drag our baggage, including two ski bags and two extra boot and helmet bags on top of the bags we planned to carry with us for the duration of the trip, through the subways of Paris.

Each hand was pulling a roller bag, each back had a backpack or messenger bag, and both John and I had an extra duffle bag as well. We managed a train and three metro line stations to reach our hotel. The family revolted and we took a taxi from the

hotel to the train station as we left.

I will say that at each stairwell in the Paris subway (there are almost no elevators or escalators, at least where we went) people helped the girls with their bags. Strangers would grab the bag and carry it for them, just as they did for women who had strollers. There was not one stairway that did not incite kindness from those around us.

Q: A:

Where are you headed next?

Our next big stop is Croatia, (after) Italy; several nights in Venice, then down the coast to Ancona where the ferry will take us across the Adriatic. We need to leave the main part of Western Europe called the Schengen zone so we can come back in the summer. Much of Western Europe formed a treaty creating the Schengen area for travel visas. It takes in almost everything from Scandinavia to Italy, Portugal to Poland. In this zone, as a tourist, U.S citizens are allowed only 90 days out of 180. This means some additional planning for us. We entered the area on Feb. 25 when we landed in Paris, and our 180-day timer began to run. Half of the next six months need to be spent outside of this zone. We want to meet up with friends coming to Europe in the summer, so we will need to leave and save part of our 90 days for later.

Having heard wonderful things about the Dalmatian Coast, we decided this was our best option.

We have rented an apartment for two-and-a-half months on the Croatian Coast.

child learns from it, positive or negative,” said Jones.

A great deal of research underscores how negative experience can have long-term effects.

The book “Starting Smart” by Theresa Hawley says infants and children who rarely play with toys, are rarely spoken to and have little chance to explore their environment “fail to fully develop the neural connections and pathways that facilitate later learning.” And children who are maltreated have elevated stress hormones even when in a relaxed environment.

Young children who encounter major adversity can have weakened brain architecture and can

be permanently on high alert, according to a brief from the National Symposium on Early Childhood Science and Policy.

Also adverse experiences are likely to lead to developmental delays and other problems. For instance, children with these negative experiences are more likely to have health problems as adults, including alcoholism, depression and diabetes.

Parents’ roles Parents don’t need to think about flash cards or academics to teach their children, said Jones.

Instead, she said kids need loving, nurturing contact to develop

emotional attachments and trust.

Parents can do this by simply talking to their babies and exposing them to early language.

Young children also benefit from experiences that use their senses.

For instance, petting animals, playing in water, touching soft or rough objects, or cold or warm surfaces.

Do those kinds of things, and the “academics will improve later,” said Jones.

“They need to have fun with their children and relax.”

Gilpin said the best way for kids to learn is to get them out of strollers, out of swings, and to let them explore their environment on their own. “They’ve discovered children learn faster when

Float on Courtesy Typhon Records

Floater is, from left, Pete Cornett, Rob Wynia and Dave Amador. The rock band will be playing two shows in Bend.

A conversation with Rob Wynia, frontman of Oregon rock scene stalwart Floater

By Ben Salmon T he B ullet in

A

round these parts, Floater is a big deal.

Oh, the Oregon-based trio is known in other parts of the country. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be embarking on a tour across the West next month in support of their upcoming album.

But in their home region, Rob Wynia, Dave Amador and Pete Cornett are superstars, playing to large crowds not only in Portland and Eugene, but smaller towns such as Chico, Calif.,

and, well, Bend. The band will do its regular twonight stand — one electric, one acoustic — this weekend at Mountain’s Edge (see “If you go”).

Floater formed in the mid-1990s in Eugene and has been a consistent presence on the Northwest scene ever since, sticking with the same lineup and playing the same style of music, no matter what’s considered cool by critics and pop culture. Wynia and his mates do what they love, and that’s crank out heavy, artsy rock ’n’ roll that draws liberally from the worlds of prog, metal, psych and grunge. Basically, if it’s a

little off-the-radar and made by guitars, Floater digs it. And can probably do it.

Wynia took some time out of his Saturday to answer a few questions from The Bulletin via email. Here’s an edited transcript: GO!: You guys have been together, with the same lineup, for about 16 years. Could you have imagined at the outset that you’d be doing this in 2010?

RW: I don’t remember ever thinking in the beginning about how long we would play together.

It has just never been something to sit and ponder. It’s funny but to me it’s a little like wondering how long you’ll be going mountain biking, or for how many years you’ll want to go to the beach. You don’t really think about it on a timeline, it’s just life that you’re living and doing what you love with.

SINGULAR SOUNDS

Submitted photo

Sean Hayes makes otherworldly folk S

an Francisco singer-songwriter Sean Hayes seems to exist in a funny little place that’s set apart from the everyday machinations of the music industry.

Like his songs, he appears to float through the world with ease, unaffected by pressures and expectations. He’s an artist working virtually in a vacuum, making music on his own and releasing it on his own, and the result — his brand new album “Run Wolves Run,” for example — is a sound that’s singular and yet universally lovable.

At heart, Hayes’ songs are simple folk-blues tunes, often built just on the man’s expressive voice and his guitar or banjo. Along the way, they pick up bits and pieces of percussion, poppy piano or ambient electronic touches. And last month, he told the Santa Barbara Independent that “Run Wolves Run” got a little more time and attention in the studio than his pre-

vious studio efforts, and that it’s a “little bit more rock ’n’ roll” than what fans have come to expect from him.

He also acknowledged that he’s done more promotional work this time, and people are starting to notice. The excellent Songs: Illinois blog wonders aloud if “Run Wolves Run” will push Hayes into the same “upper stratosphere” as songwriters like Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse and Brett Dennen. So if you want to catch a talented, veteran and on-the-rise artist in a yoga studio in downtown Bend, this might be your last chance.

Sean Hayes; 8 tonight, doors open 7:30 p.m.; $16 in advance, $18 at the door. Advance tickets available at 541-326-7866 or www .mandalayogabend.com; Mandala Yoga Community, 55 N.W. Minnesota Ave., Bend; www.mandala yogabend.com.

Tony Smiley’s one-man rock attack is in Bend

G

ood people of Bend, it’s time for you to meet Tony Smiley.

Smiley’s a Portlander, and he’s been through our region (at least) once before, several weeks ago. But it looks like he’s about to ramp up his presence here, with a residency planned at Bendistillery Martini Bar for the first Friday of each month, plus a show booked in May for Three Creeks Brewing Co. in Sisters.

Smiley’s mileage is Central Oregon’s gain. The guy’s live act not only has a recognizable trait — namely, it’s a one-man show, which is often impressive — but it actually rocks. Hard. Unlike some one-man shows, Smiley brings the thunder, using looping technology to build big blasts of beatboxed rhythms and electric guitar-generated goodness over which he solos and sings melodies reminiscent of

the Pixies, David Bowie and Modest Mouse. He also cites Prince and Jimi Hendrix as influences, so, yeah, he’s drawing from the right places.

Smiley calls himself the “oneman-riot-loop-ninja,” which is awesome, though not 100-percent accurate.

He’s almost always accompanied in the shadows by Kevin Younkins, aka “The Bird,” who mixes Smiley’s sound on the fly.

Because you know how the old saying goes: Behind every good ninja is a strong bird. Or something like that.

Check ’em out at www .myspace.com/tonysmiley.

Tony Smiley; 9 tonight; free; Bendistillery Martini Bar, 850 N.W. Brooks St., Bend; 541388-6868 or www.myspace .com/bendistillery.

(Just kidding on that last one.)

RW: I personally attribute our longevity to a simple thing. We haven’t stopped. I know, that’s obvious, but it’s the truth and the best answer there is. Maybe we want to do it more than most bands, and that’s why we keep doing it? We have spent enough time touring with other acts who fit the definition of “success” so much more than Floater does (they have record label support, play for massive audiences, travel in coaches and planes, etc.) that we don’t tend to see ourselves as “successful” so to speak. But then, how would you define a trip out mountain biking as “a success” or not? I think you do it regardless of those terms.

GO!: I know Floater does very well in Portland and Eugene, but you also seem to have no trouble drawing a crowd in smaller towns like Bend. Why do you think that is? Most bands won’t even come here, much less visit frequently and sell out places over and over.

RW: It seems to me that we are just lucky. We make the music that we would like to hear, and we have been really lucky to cross paths with a lot of other people who seem to want to hear the same thing. And there’s a kind of feedback to the system too. If a band comes there and a big crowd shows up and goes wild, the band will definitely make sure they come back. We

sure as hell do. If nobody shows up, or the crowd is super lame, then the band probably won’t come back unless they have to.

GO!: In a time when super lo-fi and shoegazer bands are all the rage, do you think playing rock ‘n’ roll with grand, dramatic flair is a lost art?

RW: Nah. Rock ’n’ roll, as an art form and in its broadest sense, will never die. It gets sick and weak sometimes, but doesn’t die. Yes, there are an awful lot of people out there these days who are super-focused on being cool and who think that singing out loud, or leaping up and down, or embracing your own wildness is embarrassing and shameful.

I feel for them, and I hope that someday they can find in rock what I always have.

GO!: Portland’s music scene has long had a strong reputation, perhaps never more so than right now. And yet Floater has always sort of existed outside the normal channels of press praise, scene backslapping, etc. Do you ever look at what’s happening there and sort of gloat at the fact that Floater has achieved what it’s achieved without necessarily playing by the traditional rules?

RW: At first (years ago) I felt hurt by the fact that no matter what we did the press seemed to either hate Floater or simply ignore us. But the shows are such a total blast, and the fans are so vocal and supportive that

eventually you just say f--k it.

The flip side is that on the rare occasions when you are praised in the press you have to sort of ignore that too. You can’t have it both ways. If everybody hated us then we’d play in our garage for each other. But since it seems in general to only be critics, then screw ‘em.

GO!: Last, but not least, I know you have a new record (called “Wake”) on the way. Do you know when it’ll be released?

And what can Floater fans expect? Any chance you’ll have it in Bend?

RW: We won’t have it in Bend, sadly. But we should have it at shows available for the live audience starting in May. Then I think it’s supposed to hit shelves and the street officially in June.

This record is, in many ways, the result of playing so much live. When we spend a lot of time jamming together and not so much time performing at shows the material tends to be more atmospheric, introspective and maybe moody. But live shows are for rock. Playing so much makes us produce a much more high-energy album. “Burning Sosobra” (released in 2000) was like that, where we just felt super pumped and the songs came across that way. This record seems a bit like that.

Make some noise with Frontier Ruckus Can we take a moment to give thanks for the free shows at McMenamins Old St. Francis School on Wednesday nights?

They’re always a lot of fun, what with the free live music and the food and the beer and the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. It’s a good mid-week scene.

And occasionally, they’re amazing experiences because of the music. Where else can you see bands like The Avett Brothers, Deer Tick, Langhorne Slim and the Portland Cello Project on a weeknight for free?

Next Wednesday brings one of those bands that I think has the potential to put on a very special show. Frontier Ruckus is the name, and sprawling, kitchen-sink indie-folk is the game.

Frontier Ruckus is led by Matthew Milia, whose songs fill a sweet spot between the Appalachian folksiness of the Avetts and the pinched, loping melodies of Bright Eyes. Just when you’re starting to get comfortable, welcome horn sections fade in here and there, putting Frontier Ruckus squarely in the same general camp as indie giants Neutral Milk Hotel and Beirut.

Check it out at www.myspace .com/frontierruckus, and then catch the show on Wednesday.

Or skip it at your own peril.

Tollefson plays twofer Silver Moon show A year ago, when Eric Tollefson released his album “The Sum of Parts,” he was a oneman show, a singer-songwriter type who could command a room with just his voice, an acoustic guitar and his bluesy folk-pop songs.

Today, Tollefson is seen more often fronting his band, the World’s Greatest Lovers, who inject those same songs with a healthy, muscular dose of

Get A Taste For Food, Home & Garden Every Tuesday In AT HOME

“oomph.”

No matter which incarnation you prefer, there’s something to see tonight at Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom, where Tollefson will play an acoustic set to open the night and follow it with a full-on rock show. It’s like having your cake and eating it too!

There is much going on in the Tollefson/Lovers camp these days. The band made a quick trip down to Los Angeles a few weeks ago to play at the famous Whisky a Go Go club in Hollywood, and you can watch their three-part video diary of the trip by going to www.bendbulletin .com/frequency and searching “Tollefson.”

Now, they’re back in town and working on the follow-up to “The Sum of Parts,” which was one of the best local albums of 2009.

A look at where the locals are playing As always, local musicians are out and about this week to tickle your eardrums. To wit: • The Luce Cruz appears to be ramping up its presence on the local scene for summer. The Bend-based four-piece plays blues- and soul-influenced rock ’n’ roll that sounds like a perfect soundtrack for hanging out at your favorite watering hole. We’re talking about a solid rhythm section, wailing guitar solos and powerful vocals

by Emma Reid. Hear for yourself at www.myspace.com/the

lucecruz, and check them out tonight at Parrilla Grill (635 N.W. 14th St., Bend). 7 p.m. Free.

• There’s a group of local artists called the Thumbprint Collective that keeps a pretty low profile, generally sticking close to home and producing dark, mellow and glitchy electronica.

Hear it (and find links to the members’ individual sites) at www.myspace.com/thumbprint collective. Occasionally, though, Thumbprint comes out of hiding to fill a local bar with tasty beats. They’ll do so on Wednesday, when they visit Bendistillery Martini Bar (850 N.W. Brooks St., Bend) for one of their semi-regular “Open Lab” nights of live electronica. 9 p.m.

Free.

• Local folk stalwart Allan Byer has been relatively quiet recently, given his history of playing more gigs in Central Oregon than just about anyone else. He’ll

reappear on Saturday at Cork Cellars Wine Bar (161A Elm St., Sisters) with his guitar full of folk songs, written by a man who has lived life and, thus, has some tales to tell and lessons to impart. Plus, you can count on some Bruce Cockburn covers.

Learn more about Byer at www .allanbyer.com. 7-9 p.m. Free.

Here and there May 8 — Hawthorne Theatre, Portland; 800-992-8499 or www.ticketswest.com.

Flobots SURVIVAL STORY Universal Republic Records Denver hip-hop act Flobots first struck FM gold with their debut hit, “Handlebars,” a violafronted track that featured the band’s dueling MCs. Flobots are back with their sophomore release on Universal Republic, and “Survival Story” smartly strays from any possible double-dipping. There’s no “Handlebars” sequel here, but there is a rock-edged sound that fits more tightly with the band’s aggressively critical, political lyrics.

As it turns out, Flobots are best when they’re aggro — as in the loud guitars and bold rhymes of lead single “White Flag Warrior” and the free-flowing, metaltinged orchestra of “Cracks in the Surface.”

Brad Mehldau HIGHWAY RIDER Nonesuch Records Let it never be said that Brad Mehldau lacks ambition. The gifted pianist and composer’s latest is a reunion with uber-producer Jon Brion and percussion gadfly Matt Chamberlain, who joined Mehldau’s trio on 2002’s eclectic “Largo.” But instead of re-creating that record’s arresting, electronics-flecked sound, Mehldau has upped the ante by teaming with saxophonist Joshua Redman and a full orchestra for a sprawling, two-disc travelogue of sorts that might be his most fully realized work yet.

Though primarily a jazz artist, Mehldau is no stranger to

Cameos from Rise Against singer Tim McIlrath (“White Flag Warrior”) and Matt Morris are solid, but the biggest contributor here is producer Mario Caldato, best known for his work with the Beastie Boys. His influence is felt in the beat-heavy “By the Time You Get This Message” and the playful back-and-forth of “Cracks in the Surface.”

“White Flag Warrior” has hit potential. The chorus has throwback appeal, an unexpected nod to ’80s arena rock. But as a whole, this album is a moving hip-hop composition mashed up with modern rock.

— Ricardo Baca, The Denver Post

classical, recently collaborating with Orchestre National d’Nle de France and mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter. And while there’s plenty of gorgeous orchestral sweep involved, such as the dramatic “Always Departing,” what’s striking is how much the album feels like two disciplines on equal footing. For the most part — most notably on the 12-minute miniepic “We’ll Cross the River Together” — Mehldau and Redman engage a battery of horns, strings and percussion in a lively conversation, a byproduct of the record’s emphasis on live recording.

Though Mehldau lists Strauss and Beethoven as among this record’s touchstones, its closely cropped moments leave some of the greatest impressions. Against Mehldau’s acrobatic piano, a pattering hand-clap rhythm lends a raw intimacy to “Capriccio,” and after a scene-stealing soprano saxophone solo from Redman, an unexpectedly playful chorus of lala-las lights up “The Falcon Will Fly Again.”

Full of unexpected twists and lush, evocative detours, “Highway Rider” is most definitely a trip, and one well worth taking.

— Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times

THE BIG TO-DO ATO Records Economic hard times, deadended lives, everyday struggles and the alcohol-fueled delusions we conjure to escape them — that’s the stuff the Drive-By Truckers have traded in for eight albums now.

But the timing couldn’t be better for them or “The Big ToDo” because someone has to tell it like it is. “Working this job is like a kick in the pants,” Patterson Hood sings in “This — — Job.” “Working this job is like a knife in the back. It ain’t gettin’ me further than the dump I live in. It ain’t gettin’ me further

Julieta Venegas OTRA COSA Sony International Records Love’s capricious, sometimes cruel behavior, and the ambiguous feelings amor engenders, are the alpha and omega of the Julieta Venegas songbook. Since she began recording in the late 1990s, the Long Beach-born, Tijuana-bred musician has parsed her conflicting feelings about emotional commitment with surgical precision.

In the liner-notes photos for her 2003 record “Si,” she posed as an ambivalent bride teething her white glove and ripping off her wedding gown. On her Grammy Award-winning “Limon y Sal” (Lemon and Salt), from 2006, she pondered the taste of romance, alternately bitter and tartly seductive.

than my next paycheck.”

It’s a rant, fueled by snarling guitars and a loss of hope, that sums up a lot of lives right now and “Get Downtown,” with its guitar boogie beating back the “unemployment blues,” sums up

many, many more.

“The Big To-Do” isn’t as ambitious as the accurately named “Southern Rock Opera” or the expansive “The Dirty South.” But the Truckers’ vision is downsized skillfully, focusing on storytelling, especially in the ripped-fromthe-headlines murderous tale “The Wig He Made Her Wear” and the dark, deflated dreaminess of “The Flying Wallendas.”

Of course, they also throw in a bit of aspirational beauty — in a pair of songs featuring bassist Shonna Tucker’s lovely vocals, the poignant ballad “You Got Another” and the rocking “I Told You So.” — Glenn Gamboa Newsday

But, closing fast on 40, Venegas appears to have reached a kind of truce with Eros, philosophically if not psychologically.

She immediately sets the tone on her latest disc, “Otra Cosa,” with the opening track “Amores Platonicos” (Platonic Loves), a deceptively perky pop confection with a languid, reggae-fied beat. Addressing a beautiful garden as if it were a feckless lover, Venegas intones in Spanish that “it’s better the fantasy that you give me” than the more fraught reality.

That Socratic-lite statement of purpose reverberates through a disc that finds Venegas revisiting familiar thematic ground, with no great revelations to offer, but with her considerable charm, sincerity and melodic subtlety intact. She quirkily caroms from flirty hopefulness to unrequited

longing and remorse.

Her reverence for boleros and other Mexican regional music forms sparkles through songs such as the disc’s title number and “Duda,” a reminder that, for Venegas, romance may falter, but passionate craftsmanship will prevail.

— Reed Johnson, Los Angeles Times

The spooky “My Chick Bad” might be the first rap song with kind words for Tiger Woods’ club-wielding wife, Elin Nordegren, with a cameo from the ever-delightful Nicki Minaj.

“Hey Ho” is a go-girl ode to cheating girlfriends (well, presumably other people’s cheating girlfriends) getting their needs met elsewhere, and “Sex Room” and “Feelin’ So Sexy” are fantasias of loverman absurdity.

Some of the production work feels slapdash, as in the sopping-synth “I Know You Got a Man,” and aside from the undeniable banger “How Low,” it’s hard to hear the next obvious hit on “Battle.” But the album is another welcome occasion to listen to Luda enjoying the real love of his life — the sound of his own voice.

— August Brown, Los Angeles Times

Ludacris BATTLE OF THE SEXES Def Jam Recordings Is there any rapper who needs the genre’s recent, rampant vocal-manipulation trend less than Ludacris? Chris Bridges has long been drunk on his own gleefully elastic patois, one of rap’s most distinctive and everpleasurable voices.

On “Battle of the Sexes,” his latest, he directs these pleasures toward the Ladies through fizzy pillow talk and respectfully tawdry club fodder. Luda’s always been a lover, not a fighter, and a dip in this particular lyrical Jacuzzi is a good fit.

Bend Comedy Competition is back in town

By David Jasper The Bulletin

f you’re a fan of stand-up comedy and you live in Central Oregon, this just might be the best week ever. The Tower Theatre in downtown Bend will host three nights of comedy over an eight-day period that begins Saturday with a performance by Doug Benson, of VH1’s “Best Week

I

Ever,” among other shows (see Page 11).

The fun continues next weekend with the semifinals and finals of the 2010 Bend Comedy Competition. All this comes just a week after a twonight/three-show stint by comic Cash Levy, who taped his first television special March 26-27 at the downtown Bend theater.

From Twitter to the Tower, Benson brings the funny

By David Jasper The Bulletin

‘I

was just sitting here spacing,” comedian Doug Benson said by phone last week from a Boston hotel. “It’s a good thing I was sitting here by the phone because there’s a good chance I would have forgotten you were calling.”

May he also remember his upcoming appearance Saturday at the Tower Theatre in Bend (see “If you go”).

Benson, 45, grew up in San Diego and lives in Los Angeles. Known as something of a “stoner comic” for his THC-laced routines, he had already starred in the documentary “Super High Me” — a pot-smoker’s answer to the 2004 McDonald’s doc “Super Size Me” — and was already a fairly well-known standup comic when he appeared on the fifth season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” a reality show and comedy competition, in 2007.

He gives the show “a nice chunk of the credit” for his success, he said.

“At the time when I did it, people were like, ‘You’re already kind of a known comedian, why are you on this thing?’

“I had never been consistently on a major network like NBC for several weeks in a row, for that many people to see, doing my stand-up comedy. So it really kind of exposed me to a lot of people who may never have found me in some of these more niche areas like Comedy Central, VH1 and ‘Super High Me,’” he said. “Just a chance to get those 4 or 5 million people a week that ‘Last Comic Standing’ got … just really helped me to be able to go out and do live shows.”

Which presents an awesome place to segue into the point of this story: Benson’s trip to Bend.

From previous page Not too shabby for a humble High Desert town lacking an actual comedy club.

The Bend Comedy Competition begins Wednesday, bringing in comics from as far away as Tennessee and Kentucky and as nearby as Portland and Seattle.

The 16 comedians will start the four-day competition at 900 Wall Restaurant and Bar at 9 p.m.

Wednesday and Thursday. Each night, eight comics will have eight minutes apiece to make the crowd, and perhaps more importantly, the judges, laugh; four from each night will advance to the semifinals Friday, April 16 at the Tower, when the eight will have 12 minutes each to perform their sets. Four comics will then advance to the finals Saturday, April 17, where they’ll each do a 20-minute set, competing for the first-place, glass-blown trophy and $2,000, as well as a week’s worth of work at Parlor Live, a comedy club in Bellevue, Wash., according to Bend-based comedian Morgan Preston, who’s a

“People are actually coming to see me rather than just check out the local comedy club,” he said.

“When I come to Bend, I’m imagining there’s not going to be too many people in the room who don’t know why they’re there. They’ll all be there to see me. That usually creates a really fun environment because then I can relax and do my thing and have fun with everybody.”

In addition to the above-mentioned credits, Benson is also a writer and star of the three-man show “The Marijuana-Logues,” which “sets herb center stage, delving into fact and fiction, myths and misnomers alike,” according to the official Web site for the show.

He’s also a fan of Twitter.com. When something newsy happens in the world, he said, “you don’t have to wait for the late-show monologues. You can just get a Twitter account and just read what all the comedians are saying.”

“I like to tell people to follow me on Twitter. I tweet all day long, just whatever dumb jokes come into my head,” said Benson, whose jokey tweets, dumb or otherwise, can be viewed at www.twitter .com/dougbenson.

Benson said he doesn’t want to be known only for being a pot comic.

“I’m the one who started it, by talking about pot and making a movie about pot. I can’t really turn my back on that, nor do I really want to,” he said.

“I won’t ever do a sequel to ‘Super High Me.’ … I’m not interested in repeating what I’ve done before.

But I am interested in making more comedy that people would enjoy with or without smoking first.”

Twists & turns

‘She Stoops to Conquer’ is a comedy with skewering laughs

By Eleanor Pierce The Bulletin

W

hat’s more enduringly funny than young love?

The awkwardness, the misunderstandings, the obsessive plots — they’re all good for a laugh, when its not our own awkward encounters being laid bare, naturally.

“She Stoops to Conquer,” which opens at Cascades Theatrical Company’s Greenwood Playhouse tonight (see “If you go”), was written in the late 18th century by Irish playwright Oliver Goldsmith. The play focuses on the follies of young romance, but it also throws in several goofy plot twists for good measure.

“Like many of the comedies of that era, it’s all about mistaken identities, confusion about who is who,” said director Brian Johnson. “It’s one of those plots that deliberately gets tangled up, embarrassing (the) characters.”

The play takes place almost entirely at the country es-

tate of Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle, who married after each had prior marriages. Each is now focused on marrying off his or her own charges. Mr. Hardcastle has plans for his daughter, the respectable and comely Kate. Mrs. Hardcastle has her own son to fret over, the wild and mischievous Tony Lumpkin, as well as her niece and ward Constance.

When we first meet Kate, she’s decked out in the fashion of the times, swathed in silk. Although they’re wealthy, the Hardcastles live outside of town, and Mr. Hardcastle is old-fashioned. He doesn’t like the fussy finery Kate has developed a taste for when she’s visited London, so father and daughter have made a compromise on Kate’s manner of dress. As she says to her father, “You allow me the morning to receive and pay visits and to dress in my own manner, and in the evening I put on my homespun dress to please you.”

fine arts “Like many of the comedies of that era, it’s all about mistaken identities, confusion about who is who. It’s one of those plots that deliberately gets tangled up, embarrassing (the) characters.”

— Brian Johnson, director of “She Stoops to Conquer” From previous page In an attempt at finding Kate a suitable husband, Mr. Hardcastle informs Kate that he has arranged for a visit from the son of a good friend. In a few hours, Charles Marlow will arrive. Mr. Hardcastle says he’s just the right type of man for Kate. He’s handsome, learned and bashful — but Kate’s not particularly thrilled about the bashfulness.

“A reserved lover, it is said, makes a suspicious husband,” she says. But she agrees to meet him, do her best to impress and find something to like about him.

To settle her own charges, Mrs. Hardcastle has decided to convince her son and niece to marry, a nice way to keep all of the family money — including Constance’s considerable inheritance of jewels — in the family.

The problem is, Constance and Tony can’t stand each other.

There’s another problem for Tony and Constance, the audience soon discovers. When Charles arrives, his good friend George Hastings comes along.

It’s George’s intention to elope with Constance as soon as the couple can get a hold of Constance’s jewels.

George and Charles’ visit is further complicated by a misunderstanding instigated by Tony.

Charles arrives at the house with the mistaken belief that he is simply making a stopover at an inn with an overbearing phony of a proprietor. So when Mr. Hardcastle attempts to play the host, Charles rebuffs the man rudely, as though he were a lowly innkeeper.

The behavior is in keeping with Charles’ main character flaw: With those of a lower class, he can be brash, rude and outspoken. With maids, he’s a cad.

But when a woman of esteem is around, he clams up.

Charles’ first meeting with Kate, dolled up in finery, is a disaster. He’s so nervous he can’t make eye contact. But later, when he sees her in her homespun dress, he mistakes her for a maid and is immediately smitten. When Kate hears of his mistake, she decides to move in on Charles in the ruse of a maid so she can get to know him. In other words, she stoops to conquer.

The cast includes Jessica Haverly as Kate, Jenn Copsey as Constance, Ron McCracken as Mr. Hardcastle, Thea Rhiannon

as Mrs. Hardcastle and Ky Wentworth as Tony Lumpkin.

The part of Charles is played by local theater favorite Caleb Neet. If you’ve enjoyed Neet in his many previous local theater roles, this may be your last chance to see him in a local play.

Neet’s looking to move to Los Angeles to try his hand at professional acting and he’s taking one

of his co-stars, Gordon Asti, who plays George Hastings.

Johnson said the play is largely a satire of class snobbery, which we see exaggerated in Charles’ disparate ways of treating other characters.

“Back in the 1700s, if you were born upper class, you stayed upper class,” Johnson said. “There really was no crossing.”

He said the playwright was poking fun at the rules associated with classism.

“I think that’s some of the reason the play lasts,” he said, because we do the same thing today.

“If we see someone dressed shabbily, we treat them shabbily.

Who knows what kind of a life a waiter leads when he’s not in a waiter uniform. But we think it’s his fault when there’s something wrong with the food.”

A row of booths have window views of U.S. Highway 26 at the Brothers Family Diner in Prineville.

Prineville’s Brothers diner is predictable

By John Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin

A

s diners go, Brothers Family Diner in Prineville is really pretty good.

Despite a few shortcomings, Tom and Charlie Moore’s spacious restaurant on the Madras Highway offers generous portions of predictable food, service that is honest and friendly if not always efficient, and a homespun ambience that somehow seems perfect for the bustling hub of Crook County.

Located on the west side of U.S. Highway 26, Brothers is actually a complex that includes the Outback Pizzeria and Sports Bar at the rear of a large parking area behind the family res-

taurant, which has a full-service lounge of its own.

But I focused my attention on the roadside diner, where I was greeted at the front door by a 7foot statue of a fanciful chef and a hand-scrawled notice advertising for a waitress and bartender.

An evening meal When we arrived for an evening meal, my dining companion and I waited a couple of minutes at the hostess stand before a server emerged from the kitchen.

We were seated in a booth with big windows to look out at the highway traffic. Inside the welllit restaurant, a light purple dominated the color scheme in For-

mica tabletops and upholstery.

Framed prints of Americana and wildlife hung on the walls, and two big knickknack cabinets offered a variety of home crafts for sale.

I ordered a steak. For her entree, my friend chose chicken Parmesan, which the menu indicated would be served with fettucine Alfredo. “We may be out of Parmesan,” the server regretfully told my companion. “Ever since I started working here, there have been items on the menu that we’re out of.”

Shouldn’t she let us know what’s lacking before we order? In fact, she assured us soon after, the kitchen had just purchased more Parmesan cheese.

Brothers Family Diner Location: 1053 N.W. Madras Hwy. (U.S. Highway 26), Prineville Hours: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day Price range: Breakfast $5.25 to $12.75, lunch $6.95 to $11.95, dinner $9.50 to $17.95 Credit cards: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa Kids’ menu: Yes Vegetarian menu: Not much besides salads Alcoholic beverages: Full bar Outdoor seating: No Reservations: No Contact: 541-447-1255 or

We had a salad and a soup as we waited for our orders. My friend’s salad was generous but conventional: iceberg lettuce

restaurants From previous page There were a couple of slices of cucumber and beefsteak tomato, croutons and blue-cheese dressing.

My cup of soup showed a touch of kitchen creativity. The creamy chicken-dumpling soup had more dumplings and almost more minced carrots than chicken. It was sprinkled with herbs and served with Saltine crackers.

Entrees and dessert Then the main courses arrived. My 10-ounce Cajun-style New York steak, though cooked a little more than the mediumrare I had requested, was a passable meal, even though the Cajun spices were very mild.

I could have done without the canned corn, but the baked potato, wrapped in aluminum foil and served with sour cream and butter, was fine. I wondered, however, why a slice of cinnamon-apple, perhaps a garnish, was hiding beneath the cup of sour cream.

My companion was disappointed in her chicken Parmesan. It was served not WITH fettucine Alfredo, but UPON a bed of fettucine. There was no rich white Alfredo sauce; instead, a ladle of marinara sauce covered the poultry. “Like spaghetti with a piece of chicken in the middle” is how my friend described her meal.

She compensated by ordering dessert: a warm “brownie supreme.” And she certainly got her money’s worth here. The delicious fudge-like cake was served with several scoops of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

Although our server failed to offer a refill on our water glasses, she went the extra mile in finding a wine that would please me.

The vintage selection at Brothers is limited — few wine drinkers visit the restaurant, she said — but I was pleased with a glass of Fort Rock Red from the Maryhill Winery in the Columbia Gorge.

A breakfast visit I returned alone to Brothers a week or so later, dropping in for a late-morning breakfast. This time, two sisters provided service with a smile, and they were very good at their jobs.

I chose a “house specialty omelet.” As with my previous experience, the portion was very generous. My omelet was folded onto half of my plate; a charitable serving of pan-fried hashbrown potatoes filled the other half.

I loved the filling in the omelet — ham, bacon, sausage, sauteed onions and sliced mushrooms —

The egg was folded around the cheese, which was of the processed variety, and I found the taste disagreeable. I wished that I had ordered the omelet with no cheese at all.

Toast accompanied the meal; I enjoyed my dark rye with jam.

A surprise topping was a fortune cookie, broken in half atop the omelet to reveal my fortune: “You will have a comfortable retirement.” I’m not ready yet for that step in my life; when I am, I hope to still be able to enjoy finedining restaurants.

But I could do worse than regular patronage of Brothers, as long as I keep my expectations reasonable.

BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY (JULY 29) Courtesy Britt Festival

Britt Fest

is back

By Jenny Harad a The Bulletin

T

he Britt Festival has come a long way from its plywood stages and tin can lights of 1963.

Celebrating its 48th season, the Pacific Northwest’s oldest outdoor music festival kicks off June 13 in Jacksonville.

In 1963, Portland conductor John Trudeau and friend Sam McKinney dreamed of starting a music festival.

Surrounded by ponderosa pines and native madrone trees, the hillside estate of Jacksonville pioneer Peter Britt had the natural acoustics Trudeau and McKinney were looking for, according to the festival’s Web site.

Originally created to showcase classical music, the festival now encompasses bluegrass, world, jazz, pop, rock and country.

To accommodate the growing performing acts and crowds, the Britt Pavilion was

built in 1978.

Running June through September, the 2010 season headliners include Gary Allan, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, Barenaked Ladies, STYX, Brandi Carlile, The New Pornographers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Michael Franti & Spearhead. The Classical Festival is scheduled for Aug. 6-22.

Tickets go on sale today for Britt members and May 17 for the general public. Discounted ticket packages are available for series of three concerts by genre, including “Finger Pickers,” “Fresh Sounds,” “Grammy Winners,” “Tried, True & New,” “Britt Rocks,” “Positive Vibrations” and “Classical Sampler.”

To purchase tickets and for more information, contact 800882-7488 or visit www.brittfest .org.

‘A

s soon as (‘Super Mario Galaxy’) was over, we started making something that we might call version 1.5.” This revelation from Nintendo’s mastermind designer Shigeru Miyamoto that “Super Mario Galaxy 2” began as a middle step, almost more of a level pack, is not a huge surprise, but it begs the question of what made them decide to turn it into a full-fledged sequel.

“It’s actually quite unusual for us to make two different games in the same series on one platform,” Miyamoto admits. “Usually we wait until the advent of new hardware, but for this time around, because there were so many ideas we were not able to include in the first volume, we thought we should make a sequel to that.” In our most recent hands-on with “Super Mario Galaxy 2,” we got to experience those new ideas firsthand.

The drill power-up Though it’s been shown previously, we were finally able to see Mario’s new drill power in action. This powerful ability allows Mario to drill straight through planets. Sometimes he’ll pop out on the other side of the world, while other times he’ll discover a hidden area in the hollowed-out core of a planet. Strategic drilling will also allow you to damage enemies and bosses. In one intense boss battle that we witnessed, Mario is constrained to a very small planet that turns his movement to 2D while a giant robot attempts to track him down. By carefully timing use of the drill, Mario can burrow through the planet and hit

“Super Mario Galaxy 2” began as a simple level pack but morphed into a full-fledged sequel. the boss’s weak spot on his underbelly, an area otherwise protected by his massive legs.

Though little else has been shown in the way of power-ups, Miyamoto promises more surprises in the full game, saying, “We obviously have more abilities that Mario will have with his different suits.”

Yoshi The most anticipated change to “Super Mario Galaxy 2” is the addition of Yoshi. Fan service though it may be, the inclusion of the lovable green dinosaur also heralds some major gameplay changes. Yoshi’s ability to float through the air for an extended period of time has allowed Nintendo to create even crazier jumps and more precarious platforming. Yoshi also gets his own specific power-ups in the form of food. Spicy foods, for example, make him run extremely fast for a short period of time. Another special fruit makes Yoshi gassy, essentially turning him into a balloon floating upward until he runs out of gas or can eat another fruit.

New game releases The following titles were scheduled for release the week of April 4:

‘SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2’ No rating provided.

Wii Nintendo Release date: May 23

More pointer functionality “Super Mario Galaxy” featured a few segments where a freefloating Mario could grab onto objects in space by pointing at them with the Wii remote. Expect to be pointing while platforming a lot more often in the sequel.

“Aiming the pointer at specific enemies makes Yoshi swallow that enemy,” Miyamoto explains.”

Pointing at certain locations will also help Yoshi progress through a level: “You can actually identify and point at things that Yoshi can grab with his tongue and then grab that point in order to reach additional points.”

Sometimes the result is as simple as pulling yourself up to a ledge that you couldn’t normally reach, while other times Yoshi will need to use his athletic

tongue to swing through whole sections of levels. The ability to quickly point at and grab things in the world while riding Yoshi adds an enjoyable layer onto “Galaxy’s” tight gameplay.

Increased difficulty Nintendo may be moving more and more toward greater accessibility lately, but Miyamoto says they’re not afraid to shy away from a challenge: “(‘Super Mario Galaxy 2’) has been developed and designed so that those who have conquered the prequel … can feel as if it’s a continuation from the ending of that first game. … It’s more difficult for the beginner, and especially more difficult for the beginner who has never played the first game.”

As in the original “Galaxy,” players should be able to see the credits easily enough by collecting a mere 70 stars. However, finding special Comet Coins will unlock super-hard bonus levels on top of the numerous extra challenges already available in each world. All told, there will be over 240 stars to tackle for players hoping to see everything “Super Mario Galaxy 2” has to offer.

• “Borderlands: Double Game Add-On Pack” (PC, X360) — Gamespot.com

Weekly download ‘GAME ROOM’ For: Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade and Windows PC via Games for Windows Live From: Microsoft/various publishers ESRB Rating: Everyone 10+ Price: Free for client, $3 per game (X360 or PC only), $5 per game (both platforms) Superficially, “Game Room” is enticing. Eventually, it could be pretty special. Out of the gate, though, Microsoft’s new retro games client — which refashions a menu of downloadable arcade classics as a virtual arcade for players’ Xbox and/or Windows Live avatars — is too compromised to be either. For starters, the virtual arcade is little more than an additional menu layer: Players can decorate their arcades and customize the arrangement of purchased virtual cabinets, but because there’s no way to roam the arcade in avatar form and interact with friends controlling their avatars, the interface is little more than busywork with limited novelty.

More problematic is the excessive pricing for a selection of games that, so far, aren’t very good. “Room’s” initial library of 30 games hails from the Intellivison and early Atari era, and while the addition of client-wide achievements and online leaderboards is excellent, the $3-$5 price to own each game (and 50 cents to demo a game beyond the single free demo play) is too high.

Claire, played by Tina Fey, and Phil, played by Steve Carell, make a frantic call for help in “Date Night.”

Plenty of laughs and action Tina Fey, Steve Carell make ‘Date Night’ worth watching

S

teve Carell and Tina Fey play a nice, unassuming couple in “Date Night,” and that’s one of the reasons the movie works so well. Their Phil and Claire Foster are a normal, overworked, sincere, good-natured New Jersey couple whose lives have become routine. But they love each other, and all they really want is to hire a baby sitter

and enjoy a nice night out on the town.

We believe that. We’re halfway prepared for a low-key romantic comedy when all hell breaks loose. They pretend to be an absent couple in order to grab a reservation at a trendy restaurant, and two hit men assume they ARE that couple and topple them into a screwball comedy. Yet all

the time Phil and Claire seem like the kind of people who don’t belong in a screwball comedy.

That’s why it’s funny. They’re bewildered.

“Date Night” supplies them with two mob enforcers (James Franco and Mila Kunis), a mob boss (Ray Liotta) and a muscular security expert (Mark Wahlberg) who never wears a shirt.

These characters are also somewhat believable. Plots like this have a way of spinning over the top with insane, manic behavior. It’s as if the characters are desperately signaling, “Look at

us! Aren’t we hilarious?” But the audience has to bring hilarity to you. It can’t be assumed.

So what we have is a situation set in motion because a couple named the Tripplehorns don’t turn up for a restaurant reservation. The Fosters, mistaken for the Tripplehorns, find themselves in way over their heads with the Tripplehorns’ potentially fatal problems. The criminal characters aren’t simply stupid, but bright enough to perceive this causes a problem for everyone.

‘Prophet’ a bleak, harsh tale T

here is a murder at the center of Jacques Audiard’s “A Prophet” that is unlike most murders I’ve seen in films.

It’s clumsy, messy and brutal, and leaves the killer shaking.

Whether he shakes with grief, relief or anger we cannot say.

That’s the key to this film. We look, we see, but we cannot say.

It often must be that way when we witness violence. Those capable of murdering live in another country.

The movie follows the life of Malik, a young Frenchman of Arab descent, who enters prison as a naive outsider and is shaped into an evil adult criminal. He wasn’t born evil; he was born a shy, passive loser. Prison made him all that he can be. He seems an unlikely protagonist for a prison movie. Played by Tahar Rahim, he’s skinny, insecure, trying to raise a mustache. He’s behind bars for unclear reasons; he says he’s innocent, although it doesn’t matter. Prison efficiently strips him of privacy and selfrespect and serves him over to the Corsican gang that controls everything behind bars through violence and bribes.

This gang is run by Cesar Luciani (Niels Arestrup), a man who has the presence of Don Corleone but colder eyes. He walks everywhere followed by bodyguards. His spies see all that happens. He gives an order, and it is followed out. He makes it his business to intimidate the

new man, who is useful because he provides entre into the wing housing the Arabic prisoners.

There is a prisoner there (Hichem Yacoubi) whom Cesar wants killed. This man must not live to testify. Malik is instructed

by Cesar’s lieutenant how to conceal a razor blade in his mouth and slit the man’s throat. It is very simple. If Malik doesn’t do this, he will die. When Malik seeks help from the warden, he quickly sees that Cesar is right: Kill, or die.

Well, it’s an unforgiving Darwinian choice. Malik has never killed. He makes a botch of it.

There is a horrible struggle. Everything is covered in blood. Malik escapes only because Cesar has had the wing cleared out.

It is a baptism. Now that he has killed, he is not a “man,” but he is a survivor who will do what is necessary.

In the years to come, Malik undergoes a transformation. He’s a quick learner. Outside society never got a chance to fashion him. Now he learns how to observe, how to measure motives, how to devise strategy, how to rise. He also learns to read, although that’s more important for his self-confidence than for anything he learns. It’s not as if he becomes Jean Genet. He is an outsider to the Corsicans, a “dirty Arab,” but there is no purpose in resenting that. He keeps his own counsel.

Eventually he becomes Ce-

From previous page And the security agent (Wahlberg) is not simply a musclebound goon. He’s a caricature, all right, but one living in a condo out of Architectural Digest and capable of feeling some sympathy for these pathetic New Jerseyites who’ve lost their way.

Carell and Fey are both natural comic performers who know (as Second City teaches) that a comedian must never seem to know that it’s funny. They play Phil and Claire as nearly as

possible like plausible people trapped by this nightmare misunderstanding. Yes, things heat up a little, and yes, there is an obligatory chase scene, and yes, it’s a little unlikely how they end up appealing to the security expert. That goes with the territory.

But they know, as great comic actors like Cary Grant and Jack Lemmon knew, that their job in a comedy is to behave with as much realism as possible and let the impossibilities whirl around

Tahar Rahim, left, as Malik and Niels Arestrup as Cesar Luciani star in the French film, “A Prophet.”

sar’s most trusted confidant, perhaps because he is Arab, cannot band with the other Arabs, and has no other place to turn. Prisoners sometimes are given a few days’ leave. He performs a task for Cesar on the outside, and it also allows him to better position himself. “A Prophet” becomes a young man’s bleak, remorseless

coming-of-age story.

The best performance in the film is by Arestrup, as Cesar Luciani. You may remember Aerstrup from Audiard’s “The Beat That My Heart Skipped” (2005), where he played a seedy but confident father who psychically overshadows his son. That one was very loosely inspired by James Toback’s “Fingers,” with Harvey Keitel as the vulnerable son of a gangster.

Aerstrup sees but does not want to be perceived. He keeps his own deep counsel. He rules by passive aggression. He has held absolute power over life and death for so long that he acts as if it’s innate. Most of his big moments involve silent reaction shots: decisions and realizations.

The newcomer Tahar Rahim is an enigma. What is he thinking? I believe that’s the quality Jacques Audiard wants. He’s a newly poured man, and when

the mold sets, it happens inside.

He learns from Cesar to reveal nothing. Many movies and actors are too ready to inform us what everyone is thinking, and why. It’s more absorbing for us to read significance from mystery. An actor who reveals nothing, like Alain Delon in Melville’s “Le Samourai,” is fascinating.

But what does go on inside Malik? That’s the frightening part. We can only judge by what he does. Now he is prepared to kill. If we must be killed, don’t we all rather hope it will be by someone for whom the act has meaning? For whom our life has importance? Malik was such a man once, but that ended in the bloody mess of the prison cell.

Now prison has prepared him to return to the streets.

them. To begin with, Carell and Fey LOOK like they might be a pleasant married couple. Attractive, but not improbably so.

Young, but not that young. Fit, but they don’t reveal unexpected skills. And frightened when they need to be. Do you ever wonder why the characters in some movies are never gob-smacked in the face of what seems like certain death?

All of this is a way of saying that “Date Night” is funny because, against all odds, it is

involving. Each crazy step in the bizarre plot made a certain amount of sense because it followed from what went before; it’s like the Scorsese masterpiece “After Hours.” The director is Shawn Levy, who committed the two “Night at the Museum” movies, and here shows that he is much more successful when he stays far away from CGI. Remember that he also made the entertaining “Cheaper by the Dozen” with Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as a hard-pressed

married couple.

A movie like “Date Night” encourages Hollywood comedy to occasionally dial down and realize that comedy emerges from characters and situations and can’t be manufactured from manic stunts and overkill. If you don’t start out liking the Fosters and hoping they have a really nice date night, not much else is going to work.

movies ON LOCAL SCREENS Here’s what’s showing on Central Oregon movie screens. For showtimes, see listings on Page 30.

HEADS UP “The Metropolitan Opera: Hamlet” — The works of Shakespeare have inspired more operatic adaptations than any other writer’s. Simon Keenlyside and Marlis Petersen bring two of Shakespeare’s unforgettable characters to life in this new production of Ambroise Thomas’s Hamlet. For the role of Ophelia, the French composer created an extended mad scene that is among the greatest in opera, according to the press release. “The Metropolitan Opera: Live in High-Definition” series features nine opera performances transmitted live in high-definition to movie theaters around the world.

The encore screening starts at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 in Bend. Tickets are $18. (no MPAA rating) “Death at a Funeral” — Directed by Neil LaBute, “Death at a Funeral” is a hilarious day in the life of an American family come together to put a beloved husband and father to rest.

A dragon stalks a Viking warrior in the animated movie “How to Train Your Dragon.”

As mourners gather at the family home, shocking revelations, festering resentments, ugly threats, blackmail and a misdirected corpse unleash lethal and riotous mayhem. Catch a late night screening Thursday at the Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 in Bend.

“Kick-Ass” — Mark Millar’s violent comic tale of wannabe superheroes is adapted by writer-director Matthew Vaughn (“Layer Cake”) with

this Marv Films production. The film stars Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz and Nicolas Cage. Catch a late night screening Thursday at the Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 in Bend.

WHAT’S NEW “Date Night” — Steve Carell and Tina Fey play a perfectly nice married couple from New Jersey who simply want to have a great night out together in Manhattan.

Mistaken for another couple, they’re spun into a nightmare involving a mob boss and an unpaid debt. Funny because they seem halfway plausible. With Ray Liotta, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco. Directed by Shawn Levy (“Night at the Museum”). Rating: Three and a half stars. (PG-13) “Letters to God” — Inspired by a true story, a young boy fighting cancer finds strength and hope through writing letters to God and, in doing so, changes the lives of those around him. With Jeffrey S. Johnson, Robyn Lively, Tanner Maguire and Michael Bolten. Screenplay

by Patrick Doughtie. Directed by David Nixon and Doughtie. This film was not given a star rating. (PG) “A Prophet” — An unformed young man is imprisoned, and behind bars he terrifyingly comes of age.

A remorseless consideration of the birth of a killer. With Tahar Rahim as the clueless young prisoner and Niels Arestrup as the powerful boss of the gang controlling the prison.

Swept the 2010 Cesar awards (“the French Oscars”), won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes 2009, a 2010 Oscar nominee for best foreign film. Directed by Jacques Audiard. Rating: Four stars. (R)

STILL SHOWING “Alice in Wonderland” — Tim Burton’s brilliant revisualization of Lewis Carroll’s fantasy, with Alice (Mia Wasikowska) now grown up, and the mordant denizens of Wonderland still basking in peculiarity. Beautifully

drawn and told, except for the thirdact surrender to formula action. The 3-D adds nothing, drains color, is a distraction. Rating: Three stars. (PG) “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” — The film is a kids comedy that screams “Direct to DVD.” It doesn’t help that it screams that in high, squeaky, three-part harmony. Whatever slim charms there were in the nostalgic, musically cute and slapstick-friendly first film of chipmunk mania are squished right out of “The Squeakquel” like so much rodent roadkill. The cast is cut-rate and the script needed a serious visit from a serious gag writer. Rating: One star. (PG)S “The Book of Eli” — Denzel Washington strides west across an apocalyptic postwar America, in possession of a precious book that Gary Oldman, boss of a small town, will kill to possess. Denzel, a deft hand with knife and firearm, is poised somewhere between invulnerable and mystical, and Mila Kunis plays a victim of Oldman who walks along to escape. To call the conclusion implausible would be an insult to the world, but the film is very watchable. Rating: Three stars. (R) “The Bounty Hunter” — An inconsequential formula comedy and a waste of the talents of Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. He’s a bounty hunter, she’s skipped bail on a traffic charge, they were once married, and that’s the end of the movie’s original ideas. We’ve seen earlier versions of every single scene to the point of catatonia. Rating: One and a half stars. (PG-13) “Chloe” — A woman doctor (Julianne Moore) suspects her husband (Liam Neeson) of cheating, and hires a young call girl (Amanda Seyfried) to test how he might respond. She is fascinated by the girl’s reports. Her jealousy shifts into curiosity. And the call girl?

What’s in this for her? Egoyan weaves a deceptive erotic web.

Rating: Three and a half stars. (R) “Clash of the Titans” — Mortals in revolt against the gods and battling terrifying lobster-monsters, the snake-haired Medusa and the

dreaded Kraken. A great deal of CGI action, skillfully done, and several good actors testing their skill at declamatory denunciation.

With Sam Worthington as the buzz-cut, stubble-chinned hero Perseus in a land of bearded warriors, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades and Alexa Davalos as Andromeda. Not great cinema, but amusing silly fun.

Rating: Three stars. (PG-13) “Crazy Heart” — Jeff Bridges won Best Actor for his performance as Bad Blake, a broke-down, boozy country singer with a stubborn pride. Maggie Gyllenhaal finds all the right notes as a much younger reporter who comes for an interview and stays to be kissed. The songs, the singing, the milieu, the wisdom about alcoholism are all convincing.

The stuff of countless country songs, made true and new. With Robert Duvall and Colin Farrell in key supporting roles. Written and directed by first-timer Scott Cooper. Rating: Four stars. (R) “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” — Nimble, bright and funny comedy about the hero’s first year of middle school. Zachary Gordon stars as the uncertain newcomer and Robert Capron is his pudgy best pal, who still acts like a kid. Chloe Moretz sparkles as the only student who’s nice to them, and the movie amusingly remembers the tortures of early adolescence. Based on the books by Jeff Kinney. Rating: Three and a half stars. (PG) “The Ghost Writer” — In Roman Polanski’s thriller, a man without a past rattles around in the life of a man with too much of one. Ewan McGregor plays a ghost writer hired by a former British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan), whose previous ghost has mysterious drowned. In a rain-swept house on Martha’s Vineyard, McGregor meets the PM’s wife (Olivia Williams) and his assistant/mistress (Kim Cattrall), as an international controversy swirls. A splendidly acted and crafted immersive story.

Rating: Four stars. (PG-13)

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

The Associated Press

Big Fate, play ed by Xzibit, left, and Terence McDonagh, played

by Nicolas Cage, rendezvous for a drug deal in “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.”

N E W B L U - R AY AND DVD RELEASES

“ Ba d Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” — Werner Herzog stars Nicolas Cage in a dire portrait of a rapist, murderer, drug addict, corrupt cop and degenerate paranoid who is apprehensive about iguanas. It places this man in a devastated New Orleans not long after Hurricane Katrina. It makes no attempt to show that city of legends in a flattering light. And it gradually reveals itself as a sly comedy about a rather courageous man. Cage and Herzog were born to work together. DVD and Blu-ray Extras: Behind-the-scenes featurette, photographs and alternative trailer. Rating: Four stars. (R)

even needs to is somewhat arguable, thanks to an imaginative premise that finds the titular character descending on a suburban family (Andrea Roth, Michael Reilly Burke, Karley Scott Collins, Madeline Zima) the very same evening a contractor (Josh Stewart) who knows the family attempts to rob the place. Character development duty falls to him and his struggle to convince the family he’s there to help them — which, of course, he initially wasn’t, which naturally makes the rescue talk a hard sell. If that’s good enough, you’re in luck, because while “The Collector” arguably goes overboard in the gore-for-effect department — the squeamish absolutely need not bother — it certainly knows what it’s doing in the unsettling suspense department.

It’s just too bad it’s all happening for reasons we’ll largely never know.

DVD and Blu-ray Extras: Filmmakers commentary, alternate ending, deleted scenes and music video. This film was not given a star rating. (R)

The following movies were released April 6.

“The Collector” — You might call it streamlined and refreshingly free of pretense; someone else might see the same thing and call it lazy and an elaborate excuse to break out the blood buckets. Either way, it’s no small point to note that “The Collector” reveals next to nothing about the motives and means of the character (Juan Fernandez) who gives the film its name. Whether it

“Green Zone” — Matt Damon and his two-time Bourne director Paul Greengrass team up for a firstrate thriller set early in the war in Iraq. Damon’s chief warrant officer finds that U.S. intelligence is worthless, and his complaints lead him to discover the secret conspiracy intended to justify the American invasion. Greg Kinnear is the deceptive U.S. intelligence puppet-master, Brendan Gleeson is a grizzled old CIA hand whose agency has always doubted the stories about Saddam’s WMD, and Amy Ryan plays a newspaper reporter who serves Kinnear as a pipeline. Rating: Four stars. (R) “Greenberg” — Ben Stiller in one of his best performances as a chronic malcontent who returns to L.A. to house-sit, nurture his misery, and reconnect with people who quite rightly resent him. With Greta Gerwig as an aimless but pleasant young college graduate who feels sorry for him, and Rhys Ifans and Jennifer Jason Leigh as survivors of his troublesome past. Directed by Noah Baumbach of “The Squid and the Whale.”

Rating: Three and a half stars. (R) “How to Train Your Dragon” — Young Hiccup, whose Viking village has long been beset by dragons, befriends a young one and tames it.

Thus the elders discover there can be good dragons and bad ones, and that leads to an aerial battle sequence obviously yearning to become a video game. The new DreamWorks animated feature is bright, goodlooking and has high energy. Kids above the easily scared age will probably like the movie the younger they are. Rating: Three stars. (PG) “Hot Tub Time Machine” — A raunchy guy comedy where three buddies and a nephew fall into a magical hot tub and are transported in time to the scene of their legendary bacchanal at a 1980s ski lodge. Rob Corddry, from “The Daily Show,” steals the movie as a tireless party animal; John Cusack and Craig Robinson are his buddies, Clark Duke is Cusack’s nephew, Crispin Glover is a surly one-armed bellboy, and Chevy Chase, with a twinkle in his eye, is the hot tub repairman.

Not quite the equal of “The Hangover,” but with a lot of the same appeal. Better than the title might

suggest. Rating: Three stars. (R) “The Last Song” — Now that Miley Cyrus is 17, it’s about time she played a 16-year-old. That she does fetchingly in “The Last Song,” and wins the heart of a beach volleyball champion a foot taller than she is.

She’s come to Tybee Island to spend the summer with her dad (Greg Kinnear), whom she blames for divorcing her mother (Kelly Preston), and gradually emerges from her long gloom. With baby sea turtles, moonlight romance, a new Miley single, and no dramatic challenges from writer Nicholas Sparks.

Recommended only for Miley’s fans.

Rating: Two and a half stars. (PG) “The Last Station” — On his country estate, in his last year, Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) rules over a household of intrigues. His wife, Sofya (Helen Mirren), is in fierce battle with his disciple Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), who thinks the count should leave his estate to the Russian people and not to Sofya and their 13 children. Chertkov hires young Valentin (James McAvoy) to act as Tolstoy’s private secretary and a spy, but Valentin is seduced by a nubile Tolstoyian (Kerry Condon) and broadens his views about the great man. Rating: Three stars. (R) “Shutter Island” — Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo are U.S. marshals called to a forbidding island in Boston bay, the home of an old Civil War fort now used as a prison for the criminally insane.

A child murderer has escaped her cell. Martin Scorsese relentlessly blends music, visuals, special effects and all of film noir tradition into an elegant horror film as fragmented as a nightmare. If you’re blindsided by the ending, ask yourself: How should it have ended? How could it have?

Rating: Three and a half stars. (R) “Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too?” — The next chapter in the lives of eight college friends struggling with the challenges of marital life. With Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Sharon Leal, Malik Yoba, Richard T. Jones, Tasha Smith, Lamman Rucker, Michael J. White, Louis Gossett Jr., Cicely Tyson and Tyler Perry. Written and directed by Tyler Perry.

This film was not screened in advance for critics. (PG-13)
